DEWEY NOT COMING SOUTH NOW,

The announcement that Admiral Dewey
will not visit Atlanta on Oct 26 as was
contemplated, because of threatened indis-
position unless he secured rest. is I'M
questionabfy a severe blow TO Atlanta and
the S ate Fair management, both of them
having billed his coming as the star event
of the year, and of several other years to
come. But beyond that view of the ques-
ton, the people of the entire state win feel
deep regret that the Admiral cannot at
this time honor Georgia with his pres
ence, and for reasons which must natur-
ally make that regret still greater.
However, it was to be expected that af-
ter going through with so many public
functions in various parts of the East, the
Admiral would soon find his strength fail
ing him, hence his necessary abandonment
of his Southern trip at this time is not sur
prising. He needs seclusion and rest, and
under the advice of physicians, has, no
doubt wisely, determined to take il. 1t is
most gratifying to note, however, that he
contemplatcs a visit to the South in the
spring, when, in acco dance with his prem
Use to the Savannah committee, he is all

that Savannah may safely count on his
coming here. and she will have full time
to prepare for such a reception as the oc-
CASTOR deserves

The Youngest british Major.

three years younger than any other ma
jor in the service. The young man had
narrow escape from a Notwithstanding
dervish after the battle of Omdurman. He
was walking over the battlefield with a
companion, when he noticed strange APP
pearance about one of the supposed
corpses. Il don't believe that mans
dead" he said to his comrade, Il believe
saw his eyelid move" Nonsense, he's
dead, right enough said the other, and
they walked on. Scarcely had he spoken
than an arrow whizzed through the air
from the hand of the supposed corpse.
Campbell had turned his head to speak
to his companion or it must have killed
him

The Iron Dukes Little speech.

Justin Mccarthy says in his reminis-
cences that at his first glimse of the House.
Of Lords, Wellington was in his place. and
it was his privilege not only to see the
great soldier, but 10 hear him speak. Il
heard him make a speech and although it
was out short speech and not remarkable
Tor eloquence, il astonished and impressed
me more at the time Than the greatest ora
ton the greatest parliamentary orator
could have done. The Duke, as gathered
from the speech of another peer-a law
lord. | think it was-had already been Of
terlns to the House his opinion on the
measure under consideration, and the noble
ana learned Lord was now criticising mis-
remarks. In the course of his criticism
the noble and learned parsonage ventured
on the observation that he feared The il
lustrious Duke had not quite understood
the measure now before the House. This
drew the llustrious Duke The
Duke of Wellington sprang to
his feet to reply and he struck
the table with, indignant gesture
My Lords he said, the noble and learned
Lord has said that don't understand this
bill. Well, my Lords, all can say is that
l read it once, that l read it twice, that
[ read it three times and, if after that L
don't understand the bill. why, then, my
Lords all have to say is that I must be
a ID stupid fellow Then the Duke
resumed his seat, and that was the only
speech 1 ever heard him deliver"

HIDING BEHIND THE FLAG.

The leaders Of the Republican party are
now vigorously inviting attention to the
flag. Old Glory. the starry banner that
waves er the land Of the free and the
home OF the brave. They are putting the
flag between their parry and the people,
and appealing 90 patriotism in behalf Of
the flag. Hurrah for the flag! they are
saying; there Il is. isn't it beautiful! It
stands for liberty and justice, enlighten-
ment and progress! Would you pun 4
down? Rally around It and sustain il!
We put it there; rally round US and sus-
tain US: We represent the flag! But don I
look beyond the flag
What is The meaning Of all this excep-
tional appeal to patriotism? Is anybody
attacking the flag? Certainly the Demo-
cratic party Is not doing so. The warmest
supporters it has had are Democrats, and
even Mr.. Bryan Is in favor of maintain
ing 1t in the Philippines until such time
as our authority there is recognized. No
body is assailing the flag
But what is it that Is behind the flag;
hiding behind it in an effort to escape the
sharp eye OF the public? In Pennsylvania
it is Quayism, in Ohio It is Hannaism, in
New York it is Plattism, in Michigan 1t
is Algerism, in Delaware it is Addicksm;
in all these states and in many others 1t
is bossism; and rot only that, but spoils
and jobbery and false pretenses.
Old DIR. Samuel johnson in his blunt way
said Patriotism is the last refuge of
the scoundrel." In a Texas court once
a prisoner against whom the evidence Of
horse stealing was overwhelming, when
asked what defense he could make, replied
impressively, Gentlemen, my heart beats
warm for my country"

A Neat Tale From France.

NJ. Jules Claretie, the academiciau and
director of the Coincide Franchise in Par
is, relates an amusing anecdote. He was
stopped the other day by an individual,
who frankly accosted him in the following
terms: Monsieur l want 10 sous for my
absinthe." The bold request was good
naturally granted. and then NJ. Jules
Claretie goes on to tell us that every
academician has his own particular beg
gar, who, as he leaves the meetings, walks
up 20 him. makes touching inquiries as to
the state of his health, and receives his
little weekly allowance. His first beggar
had been a secretary of Alexandra Dumas
pere. For years the man waited regularly
for him and never in vain. He has disap-
peared, and his successor is also a very
pleasant fellow, and obliging, too as viii
presently be seen. fortnight ago Re
went up as usual to NJ. Jules CIarete who
after fumbling in his pockets found that
he mad left his purse at home. II am
sorry" he exclaimed, but you see that
have nothing about me, not even a coin
for the purchase of a newspaper" The
man expressed no disappointment on the
contrary. his sole thought was of the in
convenience to which his benefactor might
be subjected, and, after a moments re-
Fiction he asked, with a sympathizing
smile, Should you like me 10 lend you
some money Monsieur Claretie2"

AN ERRONEors CONCLUSION.

The LaPlace lynchng in Louisiana
few days ago is made the text of some
Northern newspaper comments An which
the conclusion is reached that ''lynching
is now up to the white man." as the Phil
adelphia Press expresses it. These papers
seem to think that the lynching of a white
man is an entirely new development, and
the most striking development in the
Iynching evil that has yet reached the
South.
Judge LaPlace was a prominent white
man; but he is not, as our contemporaries
suppose, the first prominent white man
who has been lynched. We have in mind
a similar affair which occurred some four
or five years ago, in which the victim was
not only prominent in his community, but
was highly educated, accomplished, we'll
connected and advanced in years. But,
as in the case of Judge LaPlace, he was
a mad mob took his life. Nor was that
the first case of the lynching of a white
man. There Las, as a matter of fact,
been a number of such crimes 1t is erro.
ueous therefore, to suppose that the La
Place incident marks any new develop
ment. All that is indicated by 1t is that
the mob loses its mind when there is a
