POSTMASTER GARRETT of Columbus,
who enjoys official life by reason of the
fact that he was one of those southern
men who were too honest and consci-
entious to vote the national democrat
ic ticket last year, has discharged a
white man from the position of mail
ing clerk and appointed a negro to
the vacancy. A very edifying spectacle

The CAT rs our or THE WALLET.

The WayCross Herald, which is one
of Judge AtkinsOn's chief organs, has
let the cat of the wallet. In an I'M
guarded moment it confirms the suspi-
cion that Judge Atkinson is in the
gubernatorial race as tire representa-
tive Of clique Of politicians who, in
the event II his success, hope to profit
by it. The Herald is not pleased at
the large number of newspapers in
south Georgia that are opposing Judge
Atkinson, and in order to influence
some of them and induce them to help
along the scheme throws out this bait:
"The newspapers in the wiregrass
which now refuse to support man
from their. own section for governor
may have an axe to grind themselves
at some time in the future, and 1t NAV
be that they will have to grind it
themselves"
In commenting upon the Herald's
bold admission that Judge Atkinson is
being supported on the "axe to grind"
principle the Atlanta Commercial
SAYS:
"This is rich. The Herald must have

erans of the civil war suffragans even if they are iliterate and have not taxable proerty to the value of $500
 These figures are valuable as showing that a suffrage clause containing an al- ternate educational and property qualifca- tion, together with a discrimination in favor of the veterans of the civil war, whether confederates or union men, would not disfranchise many native white per sons of native or foreign parentage-about four per cent all told. In other words. in beat containing 100 native white males of the voting age, four would in the aver age be disfranchised. Shall the security, peace and prosperity of the ninety-six be imperilled by unnecessary consideration of the unthrffty, unintellectual four?

''Truth will come to light; mur- der cannot be hid long"
 The Merchant of Venice.
The Alaskan Boundary.

All the Alaskan boundary questions have been happily settled. The line from Mount St. Elias to the Arctic sea was settled last year, leaving open only the question as to the three-mile boundary south of Mount St. Elias to Port Simpson, or Prince of Wales IsIand-that long stretch along the Pacific coast.
 This country contended that the boundary line should be three marine leagues back of the coast of the mainland, while England contended that that distance should be measured from the outer coast of the chain of islands found there. The English con- teption would have practically terminated Alaska at Mt. St. Elias leaving beyond that great landmark a stretch of islands. If the English contention had been upheld this country would have lost, not only valuable mineral lands, but a long stretch of coast that must become in time of still greater value.
 The home government accepts the Ameri- can contention, and the United States will therefore security hold hereafter the coast down to and including Port Simpson. The Pacific cosat line of the Dominion is thus reduced to about six hundred miles. Dyea, Skaguay, and Juneau are now American towns, and the possibilities of rich quartz mining territory, and even state, are large ly increased. The country along the coast is neither so cold nor so inhospitabie as 1t has been represented It is warmed by the Japanese current, and very considerable agriculture Is possible. even at points as far north as the mouth of the Yukon.

War in Politics.

But" says the over-anxious man, "a
 successful war will mean the success of
 the administration that conducted it in this
 falls congressional elections, and four
 years more of Hannaism and Dingleyism. !"
 It is very difficult to say how this would be.
 so much depending upon the conduct of the
 war and the outcome. Any reverses, or
 any want of vigor or progress would be
 disastrous to the party in power; and the
 history of this country does not even sup
 port the idea that a successful war means
 success to the party that conducted 1t. The only two cases at all parallel are | the war of 1872 with England and the war with Mexico. The war of 1872 was conduct l ed by the democratic party, and the re- l publican party of that day--the federalists gained strength from the starting of it. | An election occurred about six months af- ter war had been declared, and the demo- | crats lost votes in the house of representa- l lives and in the electoral college, although | they did not lose control of either.
 | The democracy also controlled the Mexi-
 can war, having majority in both
 branches of congress. It was war of un-
 varying success, and of magnificent terri | torial' results. An empire was won in it. l Yet the democracy lost in the course of it
 control of the house of representatives, and at the end of 1t, glorious as it was, the | whigs elected president
 The war of 1872 was full of naval victories | that stirred the national heart the Mexi- | can war was a series of land victories; but
 neither brought comfort and help to the | party in power. The other wars of the | countrywide revolution and the civil war afford no parallel to war with Spain. But whether a. war with Spain would help or hurt this or that party, does not mat ter. Cuba must be freed, the inhuman
 Spaniard must be driven out of America,
 and peace, prosperity and safety from
 epidemics made possible. War and politics
 are both very uncertain, and the most that
 can be safely said concerning them is
 the party that hangs back and discourages | a just and necessary war is the party that | receives irreparable harm in the popular mind.

 Joseph w. Grimes, the heavyweight bi- cyclist arrived in Lexington, Ky, en route from Virginia. He has recently returned from a trip abroad. which was his second visit to the old country. He was easily the largest bicyclist ever seen in the Eu- ropean capitals. Upon his return to this country he weighed 576 pounds, the most he ever weighed. His present weight Is 555 pounds. He is feet inches tall, 62 inches bust, GA inches waist, A inches thigh, 26 inches calf and 22 inches neck measure ment He has been riding bicycles for the past five years, and his flesh is as hard and firm as a wel-trained athlete. He en- joys the best of health is not troubled with shortness of breath, as most fat persons are, and says that he believes that his out door exercise on a bicycle has been the means of keeping him in health.
 He is 2S years old. His parents. Kentuck- ians, lived in Hgginsport, O., when he was born, and removed with him to Elem ing county, Kentucky, when he was a boy. Early in life he developed tendency to fieshiness, and when Is years old weighed nearly 800 pounds. The longest ride he ever made at one time was eighty-four miles, covering the distance in ten hours, with a stop of one hour for dinner.

WORLDS SUBMARINE CABLES.
Over 1900 Ocean TeIegraphs of Varou
 Lengths in Existence.

From the Age of Steel.
 The submarine cable is now one of the leading factors in international communi- cation. At its inception it met with fail- ures, commercial and otherwise, but as methods of construction and laying inn proved, its earlier risks were largely ayerted. It now trails along the mud and sand of the seas, dangleS it's huge loops on submarine precipices and across their dark chasns, and along the gloomieIst cav- ernS of every ocean the silent messages of commerce, friendship, diplomacy and of governments make their lightning race around the plane
 The laying of the first Atlantic cable was the initial of a supreme effort to unite the family of nations. It was costly, and in a commercial sense, up to a certain date, a failure, but as triumph of engineering science it marked an epoch in international communication. Other cables had some what of a dismal beginning, but enterprises did not stop as disasters, nor did the en- gineer halt at what, after ai was but temporary obstruction. The good work continued and has reached such massive proportions that @ navy of forty-one tele- graph ships, fully equipped and manned, is distributed over the oceans of the world, representing a gross tonnage of 60,OOO tons. The manufacture of cables represents huge investments of capital and an army Of workers. Great Britain has so far led the way in this modern industry, and was for a time as supreme at the bottom as at the top of the sea. The honors are now being divided by France, Italy and Germany. Manufacture is no longer an exclusive mo- nopoly New cables will continue to be laid and as time, corrosion, accidents, sub- marine convlusions, and the encroachments of marine shell fish and monsters cause breakage and loss, the supervisions of re- pairs will be a permanent occupation both to experts and seamen.

STAINS COAL sUPPLY.EHa

 From New York.


 From New York. si From the New York Mail ard Express. .i It has been reported that unusual quanti- ties of coal were being shipped from the southern ports of this country to Havana for use by the Spanish. A reporter from kins, of the firm of Perkins & Co.,, in the Produce Exchange building on the subject. MT. Perkins said: ;! ''There is always more or less coal ship ped from here to Havana, for commercial purposes, but doubt if at present there Is more than usual. At all events, haven't heard of any unusual shipment" s5 ''In case of war;" asked the reporter, 'fs it true that Spain could get coal in South America; from Brazil, for instance? There is a popular impression to that effect"
 "Bless you, mo-" said MT. Perkins. "Why, we have to supply South America with coal And Spain would have to depend on Cardiff German or French coal, all of which would have to be shipped on lighters, which our ships could intercept, whereas we are within seven hours of an mex haustible coal supply. But go over and see MT. Berwind, of Berwind & White, corner of Battery place and Broadway, and he will tell you all about it."
 'This report that Spain could get coal from South America" said MT. Berwind, lis only partially true. In Chilli there is a supply of inferior and very fast burning coal, which Spain might use, but wouldn't As amatter of fact, all the coal used in the Spanish navy comes either from here or from Cardiff.
