BuII-Fighters Next to Royalty in
Spain.
From the .sprIngfeId Rennh1ican

From the Springfield Republican.
A nation whose great sport is buIl-fight-
ing must be said to Ringer still in remote
and cruel times. And Spain is such a ma
ton. Notwithstanding the great drain of
the Cuban war, her people find plenty of
means to support this amusement No
body in the nation commands such an in
come from his daily effort as a popular
bull-slayer. Mazzantini, one of the most
famous of these, earned 396, 900 pesetas last
year, It is said, or over $4,000 He par
ticipated in siXty-six fights and killed 1853
bulls. Another popular torero, Reverte,
took part in sevehty-one fights during the
year, killed 100 bulls, and earned 276, coo
pesetas, or $50, go. These men stand next
to royalty itself in the poplar mind No
great singer, actor, or orator approaches
them. They amuse the people with spec
tacles of blood.
That the sensibilities of such a people
should be dulled to human as well as
brute suffering can hardly be questioned.
The bull fight, like the gladiatorial fight,
cultivates the brutal instincts, depreciates
the value of human life, and makes men
comparatively cruel and insensible to mis-
cry in others. We may thus turn to con-
template the atrocious policy of extermie
nation by slow starvation adopted by the
Spanish government in Cuba under the
guise of a war measure with little wonder
It has been made tolerable to the nation
through the long subsection of the people
to the hardening influences of bull-fght-
ing. Such a civilization belongs far in the
past, and must crumble away.

BERNER NOT IN A BARGAIN.
DENIES A COMBINATION WITH At
KINsON TO DOWN GAMBLER

MIR. Berner Asks Atkinson II lie
Thinks the Democratic Voters al
the state Can Be Bought and SOLD
The Speaker RepeIs the Charge
Dedes His own Foes to Name a
single Political Deal to Which He
Has Been a Party.
Atlanta. Ga. April 22.-Senater Berner
spoke at Fairburn to-day and devoted
large part of his speech to denuneiatioh
of the report that he and Judge Atkinson
have combined against Col. Gambler.
On this line he said: Because Judge
Atkinson seems 10 believe that Col. Cand-
Ter has used money to corrupt the bal,
lot box, has he come TO the conclusion
that the Democratic voters of Georgia can
be bought and sold?
Because Col Gambler so forgot his 10y
atty to Democracy as to charge part
of it with the heinous crime of ravshine
its integrity, has he come to the con-
clusion that the Democratic voters OF
Georgia can be assigned at will?"
Shame upon the vile and filthy SIAN
der.
81 cannot think that any man credits
for an instant the base and unrighteous
charge.
"It is clear that such combination is an
absurd impossibility. If it could be done
/ would scorn the unholy work.
= "Here and now I challenge the malice
of my enemies 10 name a single politica:
bargain 1 have ever made.
''If 1 have ever made a political deal,
IL have ever contracted for the sale or
purchase of public office, 1 bid them en-
pose the corruption and denounce me with
the villainy.
But if had sunk so low as to play this
despcable part, if l was both able and
willing to barter the stainless loyalty of
my friends, there is another and neces-
sary party in order to consummate this
unhallowed conspiracy.
There stands the executive committees
of the counties, who are to select the dele
cations to cast the votes. They stand as
the protectors OF the purity and integrity
of the party.
But where is the evidence of this com
bination? 1t exists only in the fertile and
alarmed imaginations of my traducers.
The Atlanta Constitution some days
ago published and heralded through the
state report that Judge Atkinson and I
had met and had a conference in the edi-
torial rooms of the Macon Telegraph. They
have filled columns of that paper with rep
etitions of the SANDER
My countrymen, there is this much
truth IN the report, and only this much: /
was in the editorial rooms of the Macon
Telegraph. During my stay, several gem
tlemen came in and Joined in the CONVEX
sation and departed. Among these was nv
opponent, Judge Atkinson
During this conversation men came In
and went out of the room, men heard and
Joined in the talk.
out of this the Constitution has evolved
mighty conspiracy with which 1t pro-
poses TO prejudice the people against me-
Il distinctly and solemnly declare that
have never had a conference with Judge
Atkinson touching this contest, either ia
Macon or elsewhere"

LON LIVINGSToN'S GOOD LUCK.
CONGRATULATIONS POURING IN ON
THE CONGRESSMAN.

Was Reasonably Confident of His
Ability to Carry the County in
Case He Could Make a Personal
Canvas, But Was Doubtful of the
Outcome Under Existing tircum-
stances.
Washington, April Representative
Lon Livingston is to-day submerged with
kilograms of congratulations over the re.
suit of the primaries in Fulton county,
which insure his return to Congress.
While. he has always seemed reasonably
confident of his ability to carry the county
against any antagonist, when the clrcum-
stances were such as to enable him to
make a canvass, he was naturally afraid
that his inability 20 get to Atlanta while
the fight was on and to reply to charges
and insnuations made against him might
work his defeat in that county this time.
The result was doubly gratifying to him,
as it was natural it should be.
The colonel reached the House shortly
before the hour for its assembling, and
he Immediately became the target for con.
graduation. There is no man on the Dem
ocratic side more popular with his col
leagues than is Col. Livingston, and as
the news of his signal victory had pre-
ceded him, he was Immediately surround
ed, and the warmest congratulations were
showered upon him.
Col. Livingston says he Is deeply CRATE.
full to his friends in Atlanta and Fulton
county for their support. 81 have receiv-
ed,' said he. 80 many assurances from
prominent men in Atlanta and in the
county that 1 felt reasonable safe, but
| the result is even better than 1 had hoped.
To-day have received several hundred
| kilograms of congratulation. 1t has been
| impossible for me to reply to these, and I
may not be able to do so for several days
| 1 have, however, written a short caro-,
which / will ask the Constitution to pup.

The horse pursued three men, who
jumped a picket fence to escape injury.
The horse ran against the fence, tore down
five panels and dragged the buggy over
the shrubbery and rose bushes denolish-
ing everything 1t struck. Flying pieces of
timber from the fence struck the men,
injuring one of them quite severely
Mr.. Sloan fell from the buggy striking
on his head. His skull was fractured.

result was nobody knew that he was

Frazier says his assauants made a des-
perate attempt to take his life. The af-
fray started in a game of craps at Fraz-
ier's house, where ii seems the two men
went at his Invitation. The funds, con-
ssting of thirty-five cents, were on the
table when one of the men made grab,
