Judge Ahsinson's Announcement.


Now we are certain to have a genuine
nomination of the Democratic party in
this state. Judge Atkinson has announc-
ed that ne is a candidate for the nomi-
nation, and we may expect statement,
within the next few days, of his reasons
why he thinks the Democratic party ought
to give him the nomination. 1t is proper
to say, before anything further is said,
that the Democratic party will have a
first-class candidate, whether it dominates
Col. Gambler or Judge Atkinson. They are
both known as men of ability and high
character, and if either is nominated he
win get the support of his party.
We are not able to say which of the
two candidates came out for the free coin
age of silver first, but our recollection is
that Judge Atkinson was about the first
Democrat of prominence to get on the
Ocala platform with both feet. He may
enlighten the public on that point when
he makes a formal announcement of his
candidacy.
Col. Gambler still thinks that his letter
scoring the men who helped Gov. Atkin-
son into the Gubernatorial chair has done
him no harm. There are indications crop
ping out that he is mistaken. Let that
be as it may, he is not going to have
walk-over for the nomination. He has got
to hustle for 1t. He will find that the po-
litical fights in which he has been en-
gagged in the past were but tame affairs
compared to the one in which he Is now
engaged. From the present outlook, the
coming summer will be so full of politics
that there will be no time to find out
whether the weather is hot or not.

McLendOn's Keynote.

One of the differences TO be drawn from
the remarks made by Mr.. NcLendon at
the Bohemian Smoker, in Atlanta on
Thursday night is that there would not
be so much need of legislation eXempting
manufacturing plants from taxation if
the law makers, instead of currying the
favor of those whose hands are against
everybodys property except their own,
would stand up for what they know to be
right.
Too many of tthose who seek public Of
flee teach the people to believe what they
know to be wrong, because it is easy to
do so, and then they plead that they have
to obey the will of the people as an excuse
for doing what they know to be wrong.
What capital values most is safety
Where safety Is greatest there capital
goes and stays. There it is invested and
produces prosperity.
There is no quicker way TO brighten
capital and drive 1t into hiding than to
propose legislation which is inimieal to it.
And there are too many men seeking
public Office and hoping for success by
catering to those who are embittered
against capital and those who have sue
ceeded in the world by means of intelli-
gence and thrift
Make governors and legislators of men
who have the sense to know what is right
and the courage to do what Is right and
there would be less occasion for conces-
sions TO industries Of any particular class.

Minority Representation.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.).

Ex-Secretary Carlisle, in the Forum for
February, urges an amendment of the
constitution of the United States to per-
NIT the people to elect the President and
Vice President in different manner. He
would retain the presidential electors. but
would have their number divided among
the candidate In proportion to the num-
Der of votes cast for the several candi-
dates. In other words, he would give rep
resentation to minorities and destroy the
preponderating influence of the (''pivotal
states9" other advantages would flow
from the system, all in the direction of a
juster distribution of political power.

Some time ago street evangelist who
stood too near one of the grass plots and
preached the Word was required by the
police to ''move on" Yesterday afternoon
it was necessary for a gentleman to call
the attention of the police to the fact that
a street fakir had collected a crowd so that
part of it was on the grass. The squares
ought to be protected from the trampling
of thoughtless crowds, and there should be
falxirs in favor of the latter.

"A schoolmaster in Upper New York state
made the big girls of his school put their
arms around his neck and hug him as
punishment when they misbehaved. He got
to sentencing certain of them so frequently
that there was big kick, and the school
master got into court and out of his job.
Originality in inventing new punishments
is not always advisable; it is better to stick
to the old and accepted methods when pun
ishment is necessary.

Julian Hawthorne, who has been held

of the kind Sir Edwin Arnold enjoyed in

Chicago is going to have a court mar
tial, also. 1t will be a novel affair. The
defendant is a military Oliver Twist
known officially as Sergt Kloomer, of the
Second Artillery, stationed at Fort Sheri-

ing for more molasses and homlny after
he had eaten his ration of that delectable
combination. The charge is that he has
violated one of the orders of the mess

''In vino veritas" is a proverb that is
as old as the hills. When wine is not
handy punch will do, as was illustrated
in Atlanta the other day, or night rather,
when, through the influence of libations
of punch the secret of the identity of the
person TO whom the Gambler letter was
addressed was discovered. The next
thing to be found out is the name of the
person who drank the punch.

THE DAIY-LAVIGNE FIGHT.
Bout for the Lightweight Cham
Dfous hin Mt Cleveland Tonight

Bout for the lightweight Cham
pionship at Cleveland Tonight
The twenty-round contest between
Kid Lavigne and Jack Daily at Cleveland
tonight is the topic of absorbing interest
among the local sporting men. a good
deal of Washington money will change
hands on the result. DAILY is well known
here and is often ranked as a Washing
ton pugilist, though he halls from Will
mington. He is the favOrite in the local
betting, although the Cleveland odds
prevail
Daily is looking for championship hon
ors and can hardly fail 10 put up a good
fight, as he is in the best of condition and
has'kept cool head in arranging the de-
tails of the fight. 1t is n chance of his
life. and many think he will ACCEPT it
and make Kid Lavigne resemble
deuce before the bout is finished.
Daily has stipulated that he will con-
cede no weight above 137 pounds and the
men are to scale this weight at 6 o'clock
this evening. This makes Lavigne pull
himself down few pounds just before the
fight and gives DAILY a shade the better of
the training. DAILY has never dissipated
i'm any way and his bellows and agility
impress the Cleveland sports and they are
bachlnS MN so hGaNllN lhat ne has gone
up to an even money favorite lie has
been improving in form rapidly in the
last year. Sam Fitzpatrick, his Tlana-
ger. who formerly handled Lavignc, be-
lieves that DAILY is in line to hold the
lightweight championship some day.
Lavigne in condition, is one of the hard
est men in the ring TO beat. He loves to
take punishment and has an equal fond
ness for dealing it out to his opponent
His style is purely aggressive in that he
generally forces the issue and continues
his "boring-in'' tactics until he finally
manages to land a decisive blow.
DAILY is a clever two-handed fighter and
Fitzpatrick says that Lavigne cannot beat
him.

DANGER OF DELAY.

strongly that treatment for catarrhal affections

While a patients condition NAV not appear to

troubles are always more less nsidiOus. and If

take on acute troubles, such Pneumonia Bron-
