each stroke of his hammer, cursed and
swore. Mr.. Spurgeon laid his hand on his
shoulder, and, looking kindly at him, said
You are an adept at swearing. Can you

piled: Not very likely" Holding up five

REPUBLICAN MANAGERS ALARMED

At the headquarters of the Republican
congressional committee in Washington
feeling of uneasiness as TO the outcome
of the congressional elections is quite no
ticeable. The members of the committee
are very much afraid that the Democrats
viii get control of the next House.
There are several reasons for thinking
that the Democrats will be successful in
the congressional elections. One is that
the financial question is not being forced
TO the front in the congressional districts,
and, consequently, most of the Democrats
who voted against Democratic congress
sional candidates two years ago, because
of their hostility TO the free coinage of
silver viii this year vote the straight par
~ ticket. Another reason is that in all
parts of the country there is a desire that
the conduct of the war with Spain shall
be investigated by Congress. And the feel
ing Is that the investigating should be
done by Democrats, because they had very
little TO do with the MANAGEMENT of the
war. The two foregoing reasons will have
a tremendous influence in determining the
result of the congressional elections.
1t must not be forgotten that In the
congressional elections two years ago there
were sixty districts in which the success
full candidates were elected by a majority
of less than a thousand votes in each
district. The majority of these districts
were carried by a plurality of less than
500 votes. From this statement Il can be
readily seen that il would not require the
change of many votes in each of these
districts 10 give them a political complex
ion different from that which they had
two years ago.
The Republican leaders have very good
reasons to be alarmed. Senator Hanna
mas been in Washington within the last
week In close touch with the Republican
Congressional committee, and has Leen
urging it 10 make stll greater efforts in
the close districts. Ii is not improbable
that the Republicans will put out good
deal of money in those districts. 1t would
be heavy blow TO the Republican party
to lose the next House. The election of a
Democratic House would amount practi-
caTly, to a condemnation of the manner
in which the Republican administration
conducted the war.

spontaneous EIoquence.

When Charles Gavan Duffy, defeated in
his struggles 10 make Ireland independent
was about to sail for Australia, says the
Youths Companion, a number of Irishmen
gathered about him to say goodby. One
of them brought an old prayerbook, on a
blank page of which he asked Duffy to
write his name.
One of his companions, who was pro-
vided with a more presentable volume
said
It's a shame, Tom, to offer such a
book to Mr.. Duffy for his signature"
"Arrah," retorted Tom, why shouldn't
1 offer 1t to him? Isn't it like himself
tattered and torn in the service of God
and the people?"

THE ELECrInN.

The Populists made very poor show
ing in the election yesterday. In a few
counties they polled a very fair vote. but
In the great majority of them their vote
was insignificant
In most Of the counties the vote was
light. owing doubtless to the fact that the
Democrats, knowing that the POpulists
were not going to give their ticket hearty
support, and the further fact that a large
percentage of the Populists have returned
to the Democratic party, did not take the
trouble to vote. The consequence was that
the Democratic ticket was elected by q
very large majority without there having
been very large vote.
We doubt if we shall hear much more
of Populism in this state. It is kept alive
in some of the counties only by the feel
ing of bitterness against the Democrats.
not because Of the principles Of the Pop
ulist party. Bitterness, however, is not
a sufficient basis for a political party.
The bitterness Will disappear and then
there win be no more Populists in Geor-
gia.
Yesterdays election foreshadows what
the result of the congressional election in
the Eleventh district will be. 1t will be
an overwhelming Democratic victory. The
Popuists will not follow leaders who are
willing to turn the state over to the ne
groes in order to get a few offices.

Nearly, If not quite 100000 volunteer
troops have been mustered out since the
signing of the peace protocol but very few
general officers have been discharged. 1t
is said that a number of them will shortly
be relieved. There are six major generals
and twenty-five brigadiers on a list which
the President is said to have before him
to be mustered out within the next few
weeks. Among the major generals first TO
retire it is said, will be Fitzhugh Lee,
Joseph Wheeler, NJ. c. Butler, ]. w.
Keller and Francis c. Greene. Gen. Lee
and Gen. Wheeler are reported to have
been placed upon the list by their own
request. There has been considerable talk
of Gen. Lee being made either military
governor of the Island of Cuba or of one
of the provinces, but the story Is that
he prefers that one of the regular army
officers should have the command. leaving
him free to return to Virginia and take
up his canvass for the United States Sem
ate. Gen. Wheeler wishes to resume his
seat in Congress at the beginning of the
winter session.

How the south Is Affected.

Springfield (Mass) Republican Qnd).
Judge Emory Speer of Georgia regards it
as provIdential that SO much outlying ter
ritory has come to us as we now hold by
virtue of the war with Spain, and he be-
lieVes IL to be the prevailing sentiment
of the Southern people that we shall keep
what we hold 1t is said of a certain
Georgia congressman now canVassing his
district for reelection, that while he is
talking against expansion, 95 per cent of
his audience are warmly in favor of that
policy.
. This may be true. but It is inexplicable.
The Federal Secretary of Agriculture, Mr..
Wilson, recently said that the leading in
dustries of the South will suffer materially
from the competition of our new or pros
pective possessions. unless importations
from these possessions be closely restrict
ed. Sugar, tobacco, rice, fruit and veg
etables can be produced in Porto Rico Ha
wall and the Philippines AT such prices as
will enable planters there 10 entirely sup
plant The growers of these staples in the
South provided trade between them and
the United States is carried on as between
the states in this country"
Nothing could be palmer, and what is
more no likelihood exists that protective
duties will be maintained against our own
colonies or territory if we should be so
unfortunate as to come into the burden of
remote subject possessions. The spectacle
of a nation eagerly grabbing land and peo-
pies, and then striving to protect itself
against them would he strange indeed.
The Hawaiian commission will recommend
that Hawaii be Incorporated as a territory,
in which case free trade would constitu-
tionally be decreed as between the islands
and the mainland of the United States,
and the disposition we make of Hawaii
will be the disposition we shall probably
make of other additions of the kind. In
which case the chief Southern industries
viii be exposed TO free competition with
the cheapest of cheap labor TO be found
in the world. The sugar industry of Louis
lana, the rice industry of South Carolina,
the fruit industry of Georgia. and the to-
bacco industry of Virginia and other states
viii have to stand up against the semi
slave labor of the ex-Spanish colonies, or
fall down, and the chances are that they
would fan down or be materially injured.
II the South is favorably disposed toward
the policy of tropical expansion, its atti-
tude must be based on an idle and thought
less sentment-wholly forgetful of the d.
version of capital from that half-developed
section which must ensue. But satisfac
tory evidence is as yet wanting that the
South is so disposed.
