Some of Col. oandIer,s Friends.

1t does look as if some Of Col. Candler's
friends were rather short sighted. Here,
for instance, is the Constitution rushing
into print with the statement that its re-
port of Col. Gamblers Minedgeville speech
was correct, and that of the Macon Tele-
graphA was wrong on one important point,
about which controversy had
arisen, when, as matter of
fact, if the Gainesville Eagle
understood Col. Gambler rightly when 1t
questioned him about the matter, the Tel
necessary for the Constitution to make an
issue, unless 1t reported Col. Gambler s
speech as 1t was delivered? It turns out
that the speech which the Constitution
published was written out before the Col.
onel went to Miledgeville. The delivered
speech, at least in one important par
ticular, was different from the written
speech. There was no occasion, as far as
we can see, for the Constitution to assert
that its report Of the speech was correct,
unless it was absolutely certain that it
was. 1t wasn't matter of such vital con-
sequence to the party in the state, if Col.
Gambler did say that free silver is not a
cardinal doctrine of the Democratic par
ty" that it was necessary to practically
deny that he said it.
And to help along the controversy here
comes the Augusta Chronicle with the fol-
lowing: Col. Gambler mo doubt made that
statement in connection with other mat
tiers, and for purposes of harmony" The
statement the Chronicle referred to, was,
of course, that relative TO free silver be-
ing cardinal principle of the Democratic
party. But does the Chronicle mean to say
that Col. Gambler does not believe that
statement, and that he made it simply Ia
bring about good feeling in the party? II
that is what the Chronicle means, we think
that it does him an injustice. Coz Cand-
Ter is hardly the man to say what he does
not mean. But, if the Chronicle did not
mean to create the impression that Col
Gambler was not entirely sincere in the
matter what did it mean?
Would 1t not be better to let Col. Cand-
Ter run his own campaign, instead OF
denying that he said this or that or trying
to explain away what he did say? He
is a pretty shrewd politician, and is much
better able to take care of his campaign
than those who seem anxious to take care
OF it for him.

She is a confiding young girl of about
twenty, and as she and friend walked
up the street she began to talk, says the
Indianapolis Journal 1T is real funny.
Perhaps you will not think 1t is funny by
the way I tell 1t, but it was real funny
anyhow. You know VIII j has
lived next to our house for two years.
at least and had never had an introduce
ton to him. 1 met him constantly once
every day and often two or three time. I
wanted to speak to him; he is so nice
looking and so clean, and I have heard
such nice things said about him. but as
had not been introduced did not think Il
would be just the thing.
What made it all the more aggravat-
Ing was that Minnie II. would come over to
our house every few evenings, and she
would sit there TO see him come home or
leave the house. She wanted TO know him
and wanted me 10 give her an Introduction,
but / couldn't, of course. 1 had not had
one myself. She would say: Wen, if I
lived next door to such a nice young man
for two months, instead of two years, you
may just believe 1 would know him, one
way or another
1T made me feel as If I had done such
mean, sneaking thing not to get an in
PRODUCTION so 1 could introduce her l was
talking about wishing 1 could meet him
one night before Aunt Ellen, and she
said, Why don't you make a wish in the
proper way?' just begged her to tell me
of any way that a wish could be made
to come true, and she answered, Kiss a
baby
Kiss a baby?' said I, in establishment.
Z never heard that kissing a baby would
make wishes come true
:" 1t will said my aunt. IF you kiss a
baby for the first time and make a wish
before speaking your wish win come true.
Il laughed, but looked out for baby
that 1 had never kissed Well, as good
luck would have 1t, as 1 went to church
the next day, met Annie S. and her baby
that had never seen before. Now is
my chance thought 1, and I stopped and
admired that baby for all it was worth,
and more, too, and I stopped and kissed
it.
II felt almost guilty to be using that
dear little innocent baby to make my wish
come true, and felt my face get red as
leaned over it. 1 was glad for once that I
flush easily, for 1 know my face was like
beet
"WeH, did the wish come true?" said
the friend, who could hardly wait to hear
the end of the story
Come true?" said the girl, triumphant
ly. Il should say it did come true, and the
very next day. went down town and met
a friend, who asked me If / would go with
her to do an errand 1 went with her, and

| Without waiting for a reply she went on.
Straight into that young mans office, and
before 1 knew it she had introduced us.
My heart came right up in my throat, and
1 could not say a word. He said he was
glad to meet me, because we had lived so

to keep that to myself and I hope you will
not tell any but your very best friends"

The True Opening for Our Commerce.
In a well considered article In the At
lantic Monthly for September Mr.. Wash
ington c. Ford takes the ground that the
true opening for our commerce is in the
West Indies, and not in the Philippines
and China. He points out that notwith-
standing England's efforts her trade with
Hong Kong has fallen off fully one-half
since 1881. while Japan's trade with that
port, In that period of time. has nearly
doubled. The trade of the United States
with Hong Kong does not amount to
four-tenths Of one per cent. of their total
trade Hong Kong Is a free port, and
therefore England and the United States
have every opportunity to increase their
trade with China through II. Why nave
they not increased it? And why Is it
that Japan's trade through It has increas-
ed rapidly, and continues to increase?
Mr. Ford takes the ground that Asia
is feeding the Asiatic trade and Will con-
tinue to do So Notwithstanding the ef-
forts of outside agencies to get control
of it. His view is that asia must cease
to be Asia before the West can particl-
pate ia It's development"
Turning from Asia he sees in the West
Indies a splendid opportunity for expand
ing our trade As a matter OF fact, we
have been gradually absorbing the COM
merce of Cuba, Porto Rico and of other
islands of the Antilles, Notwithstanding
the efforts of other countries to prevent
US from doing so. These islands want
what we have and we want their pro-
ducts The efforts made to confine their
commerce to the nations which ruled them
did them a vast amount of injury In
the future our trade with the West IN
dies is going to steadily increase, particu-
larly if we give that attention to it which
its Importance entities it 10.
A question which presents Itself, there
fore, is shall we waste time and money
in trying TO increase our trade with the
Far East with the prospect that we shall
not succeed or devote our enegies to the
development of our commerce with the
West Indies where we are certain of sue
cess? This is a question: assuming that
what Mr. Ford says is correct which de-
serves very careful consideration at this
particular time, because our representa-
lives in the Paris peace commission will
soon be required to say what part of the
Philippine Islands, if not the whole of
them, the United States want.

The nnth of Office.

The editor in chief of the Daily Howler
having enlisted for three years in the
war, he was succeeded by an elderly gent
with wooden leg and sinister counten-
ance, who was reorganizing the force, or
rather putting into shape pieces of the
editorial crazy quilt set before him, says
the Washington Star.
And what are your duties?' he said to
a young and gaunt looking fellow with
gray eye of glass.
Il haven't been assigned yet, sir" he
replied, but I expected to do the funny
business, sir. The Howler has always had
a reputation in that line, and 1t would be
pity to lose 1t when talent is waiting,
sir, to maintain it," And the gaunt man
tried to puff his chest out and look like
pouter pigeon with palpitator on.
Huh" grunted the new editor, Funny
man, Ell? Write jokes and verses and
things like that, Ell? Current humorist
eh? Well sir, are you prepared 10 take
an oath before going to work."
What is it. may ask?" hesitated the
humorist, who would have taken dose
of medicine before losing his job.
Hold up your hand" commanded the
censor. "Wnl you solemnly swear that
you will not, during the prevalence of hos
tilities between the government of the
United States on one side and the govern
ment of Spain on the other, refer in any,
you may write to a Spanish mackerel?
Swear"
The aspiring humorist choked once or
twice and swore
Nor to Spanish needles? Swear"
81 swear"
Nor to Spanish 1y?"
but they are bound to fly" pleaded the
humorist.
Leave that to the new editor. Will you
swear?'
Il swear"
Nor to Spanish onions?"
But it is gardening time"
Leave that to the hired man. Will you
swear?"
Il swear"
Nor to anybody walking Spanish?

DAMN exclaimed the humorist
'Sir!" said the editor, with a look of

II is not to be wondered at that the
Cars proposition for convention Of the
nations for the purpose of agreeing upon
terms for a permanent peace, so that
they could reduce their military and
naval establishments, and thus lift from
the shoulders of the masses of Europe
some of the burdens they bear, astonishes
the other rulers of the Ola World and the
politicians. But If a correct impression has
been given of the Cars character by
what has appeared in the newspapers,
periodicals and books about him there is
no good reason TO doubt his sincerity in
making the proposition. He has great
ideas about the development of his empire
ideas which require peace for carrying
them into effect Not only is peace re-
CURED but also the large amount of
money which is now applied annually to
his army and navy.
The Russian empire is a vast one, and
the Gar would like to give his attention
to the building Of railroads and establish
ing of farms and villages in the waste
places. He would rather conquer the Wild
erness than the armies and navies of other
nations. 1t is true that he has grabbed a
portion Of China recently, but he has
taken what he believes to be necessary
to the carrying out of the plans he has
adopted for a great railroad system for
the extension of Russia's commerce.
1t may be that he thinks that an inter-
national peace convention would assist
him in his schemes in China If he could
show that what he proposes to do would
be for Chinas good. 1t is pretty GER
tain that if he continues along the line
he has been pursuing in China for some
time he viii have trouble of a serious ma
ture with England and Japan. 1t Is
hardly probable, however, that he sug
gested the peace convention with the hope
of avoiding war with those nations.
A peace convention would accomplish
nothing at this time. The world is not
ready for the closing of military and
naval establishments. 1t is moving In
that direction slowly. ana the time is
likely to come when there viii be nothing
for armies and navies to do, but 1t will
not be in the present Cars time. If we,
for instance, should take part in an inter-
national peace convention Spain would,
doubtless, insist that we should return
her colonies, to which we would not con-
sent. And there would be other similar
demands which would defeat the purpose
of the convention. Still, the convention
would be a good thing, because it would
draw the attention of all nations to the
horrors and waste of war, and would
strengthen the principle of international
arbitration. Something therefore would
be gained by such a convention and moth
ing would be lost

advantage Of the presence of their vessel

Reports from Cuba are to the effect that
the contractors are making very little If
any progress towards raising the wrecks
of the Spanish fleet. A few days after the
battle Admiral Sampson reported that the
Maria Teresa could and would be saved,
and that she would move to a harbor
shortly under her own steam Neverthe
less recent reports say there is doubt if
she will be saved at all. 1t will be remem-
bered that these wrecking operations are
being carried on by a corporation, hired
at several thousand dollars per day. Prob
ably If the government were to discharge
them and take charge of the work itself or
tell the wreckers that if the wrecks were
not saved they would get no pay, some tan
glble results would be quickly achieved. In

tractors are trying TO get an order from
