BILL ARP'S LETTER.
Bill Says He Can't Fool His Wife.
atlanta Constitution.

Mr. Lincoln said, "You may fool
some of the people all the time-you
may fool all Of the people some OF the
time, but you can't fool all the people
all the time" That's SO, | reckon, but
I will add that y man can't fool his
wife at all. She catches up with him
by instinct. My wife has been away to
Rome and so took advantage OF her
absence and had two trees cut down.
One was dying at the top and the other
was crowding two other trees and
doing no good. But she is utterly hos
tile to cutting down tree and so
have to do it while she is away. One
of them was cut down low to the ground
and after every chip and twig was
cleared up had grass put over the
place where the tree was. was gong
to do the other the same way but got
sick and she came home prematurely
and there was the stump grinning with
it's fresh cut edges. Twas getting bet
ter, but when saw her coming took
a horizontal attitude on the couch and
tried to look sick and sad and melan-
choly. 1t was too days before she no
ticed that stump and when she called
nv attention to it told her that it was
an old stump and had been there for
wears. She never said anything, but
there was doubtful expression on her
tranquil countenance. If there we're
no grandchildren around here | could
get along, bit they let the cat out OF
the bag every time and I am the vic
tim. 81 don't remember ever seeing
that stump before" said she, but | per
suaded her that the late rains had
colored it. When she found me out, l
assured her that the tree was hollow
and was bound to die soon and that its
proximity to the other trees prevented
their expansion and that expansion
was now the policy of the country.
eyes, said she, "I suppose we must
cut down the smaller trees so that the
larger ones can have more room. we
must kill off the Filipinos for the same
reason. wonder how many OF the
Door creatures they have killed. Ii
our people kill black brute down
here, they make an awful fuss about
it. but they are killing thousands be-
cause they are defending their native
land. 1t is all very strange to me-"
don't like some Of our governors
late utterances. The daily paper prints
in big lines that he said the man Of
men who lynched negro were as guilty
in the sight Of God as the negro they
lynched. Surely he didn't say that.
The reporter must have misquoted him
again. 1t does not sound like him

Moses had to provide cities Of refuge
for those who accidentally killed any
body, lest the avengers of blood should
pursue and overtakc and slay them.
The avengers OF blood were recognized
factors in the administration OF the
law. What would have been the pun
ishment of these black brutes in
Noses's time for their outrages we can
not imagine, for with the Jews no such
crimes we're known, and to this day no
such crime is known among them. AS
a race they are the purest people in
their domestic relations. Husbands
are loyal and true and kind to their
wives and wives to til il husbands;
children are obedicnt to their parents
and atfectionate to one another. But
here among lis are numerous people
who seem utterly devoid of those
family virtues that are the safeguards
of all good government. Within the
last thirty years they have grown from
childhood to manhood and have be-
come infinitely worse than their fathers
and mothers were while in slavery
There are more bastard negroes in and
around this city than those born in
wcdlock. They are not mulattOcs, but
they are negroes of full blood. The
moral dcgeneracy Of the race is alarm
ing. The State convicts and County
convicts now aggregate over four
thousand, and all of them have come
to maturity since the close of the civil
war. The morals Of these negroes gets
worse and worse and their outragcs
upon white women more frequent and
more brutal. Our people are shocked
and whisper to one another, who will
be the next victim. When the savage
Indians burned the homes and toma-
hawked the women and children our
forefathers pursued them by day and
by night and had their revenge. We
have a people among us many Of whom
are worse than savages, and every man
among us who is loyal to his wife or
mother or sister or daughter is an
avenger of blood and shouldnever stop
until the brute is caught and slain.
For such there are no cities Of refuge
and no horns Of the altar for him to. lay
hold Of. This is one crime that makes
a man an outlaw and the people have
no more fear Of provoking the venge-
ance Of God than did Governor Gambler
when he was leading his brave mel
against the enemy and crying at the
top of his voice, "Shoot 'enl, boys
Shoot 'em! Kill the last rascal; come
on, boys; Come on and follow me :
He never thought of giving them a. trla
by jury nor OF being guilty of murder

all their slandercrs. If you wish to
hear the truth, just sound the common
peoplc-the country people, the work
ing people, who live in the peril of
these outrages-thc people who are too
Door to move to towns or cities-thc
people who are of all people the most
obedicnt to law-thc people who serve
on our .ilrics and work the roads, and
nurse their sick neighbOrs and bury
their dead, and who gather at the
humble church on the Sabbath day and
worship God. These are the lynchers
for this particular crime and always
will be. Ifs thoughtlcss, reckless ele-
ment Joins them it cannot be helped.
The people of our county OF Barlow, |
suppose, arc fair sample Of the peo-
plc of Georgia. There has been bnt
one hanging in twenty-five years. We
have no white citizens in the chaingang,
nobody ever shoots or fights in our
streets. Sometimes at long intervals
there is a small fight between lawyers
in the courthouse, while court is in
session, and the Judge on hand to stop
it, but nothing more. But nine out OF
ten of our grand and petit juries would
lynch negro for this crime as soon as
they could catch him. Ex-Governor
Jones, of Arkansas, has got sense
common sense-and he says: "All this
stuff about tine laws delay provoking
lynchings is the mcrest nonsense.
When this crime is committed no man
stops to think or. to care whether the
brute will be tried next week or next
year. They want vengeance right now
and they are going to have it, and that
is human nature in all civilized coun-
tries and is to be commended rather
than condemned"
And so let Governor Gambler recon-
sider and take back, if he said it. He
can with propriety teach us patriotism
and the purity OF politics, but his
"obier dict,l," as the lawyers call it, on
our guilt or innocence before God is
ultra viresn-it is beyond his jurisdic-
ton and hence goes for nothing.
But we are all getting along pretty
we'll. Two weeks ago it looked like
starvation was staring lis in the face.
The garden had dried up, the corn was
perishing away; everything save cot
ton had withered, but the rains came
in with the dog days, which this yeal
began on the Goth, and the change is
wonderful. 1t looks like like miracle
of grace. Verify, God moves in q
mysterious way and, as the poet says,
"Behind frowning providence
He hides smiling face"
Our second crop of garden vegetables
is better than the first. We did moi
count on any more beans OF squashes
or cucumbers and the tomatoes were
nearly dead, but everything is on q
boom. Our roses are more beautiful
than ever before and every morning
fiji the vases with fresh supply, ant
INV wife smiles her sweet rewards
Verify, we cannot foresee what a kint
Providence has in store for us. Now
if the Philippine warIwill be honorab!l,,
closed and our northern brethren will

our negroes will behave and vote tn
democratic ticket, we will all be hap

Senator Quay, Of Pennsylvania
who has had an indictment hang
ing over him for some time for
misappropriation of public funds
has been found. not guilty by q
jury. The case has attracted con-
siderable attention all over this
country and by many has been
termed one of persecution and the
results of the trial will turn much
sentiment in his favor. The
charge undoubtedly caused him to
lose his reelection, but the lesis-
lature being unable to elect a SEN
ator, left the Office vacant and
Quay has been appointed by the
governor to serve until the next
meeting Of the legislature. Pre-
cedent now comes up and says no
senator has ever been seated un-
der similar circumstances. and his
being permitted to occupy q seat
will probably be an interesting
question in the next meeting of
Congress. Congress will prob
ably take the same action as has
been recently taken by an Arkan-
sas Judge and put precedent on
the shelf.

The Senator is abo ut right and
it would be q good idea to cut
this out and paste it where you
can refer to it.
Senator Teller, of Colorado, has
had enough political experience
to make him q shrewd observer,
and his forecasts are entitled to
some respect. His predictian
that the gold standard Democrats
will not be able to control the ma

led to support the republican
presidential ticket again, as they
did in 1896, is based upon reason
able possibilities. Although the

of his party with him in all the
states, ond it is quite probable

convention and dictate the reaf-
firmrtion of the Chicago platform.
Senator Teller argues from this
probability that the Silver repub-
licans could preserve their organ
ization and stand ready to to CO.
operate again with the Bryan De-
mocracy and the populists. It
will thus be the fight Of 1896 over
again, and it does not require
much political prescience to fore
tell the result. For the gold stan
dard idea is much stronger now
than it was in 1896. The course
of events has been fighting in: its
favor, and the improved business
is it's irresistible champion. MI.
Bryan. in so persistently keeping
the silver issue to the front, is ty-
ing himself to his political ruin.

The Republican party instinct
lvely and historically is opposed
to trusts. When Bryan or any
other ranting demagogue asserts
that the republican party is re-
sponsible for, or friendly to, the
trusts he bellies the record to the
contrary. The democratic party
must fight the trusts feebly from
the inside, for there is where it is
intrenchsd. The republican party
will fight theml from tho outside,
for there is drawn up it's line of
battle.-Detroit ( Mich.) Journal"
