FUNNY FEATURES OF LOCAL POLL
TICS.

There is curious condition of affairs in
local politics The present city admins
tration was elected on the Liberal Club
ticket. II was fierce factional fight, in
which the Liberals won from the Citizens
Club. The Liberals, however, secured only
a partial victory, as many of the city Of
fees were held by persons high in the
councils of the Citizens Club, and legisla-
ton had placed them out of the reach of
the victors. The commissioners were safely
entrenched until new legislation dislodged
them. 1t took some hard work on the part
of the Liberals to secure the passage Of
the desired legislation, and many an I'M
easy quarter of an hour was passed by
those who had charge of the campaign
And now comes the humorous part of the
affair. For, il reports are to be relied upon
the chances are good for the Liberal Club
aldermen to place in office some of the very
men who led the opposition to them in
their fight TWO years ago Those who We're
among the fiercest fighters against the
Liberal Club are said to be very likely TO
continue in office, by the votes of Liberal
Club men Some of the aldermen there are.
to be sure, who do not propose to take
the recent enemy" to their bosoms. but
a count Of noses seems TO show such al
dermen ia the minority. The Liberal Club
win hold meeting tonight and air citl-
zens who may feel inclined to do so are
invited TO attend and take part in the pro
| ceedings If there was anything in the
fight made two years ago, and if the same
opinions prevail now which prevailed then.
there will be the opportunity for a Lively
meeting.

THE mice ESTATE.

The announcement made in the public
prints that the estate of the late Calvin
8 Brice amounts to only about 100000
will cause very general surprise. His
widow is the executrix of the estate, and
il may be that there are securities amount
ing to millions of dollars which she has
not found yet. 1t will be recalled that
one of the stories which went the rounds
Immediately after the death of Mr.. Brce
was that a secretary of his, who had the
control of his securities, died suddenly,
and when Mr. Brice, made an inquiry about
his securities ne was able to find but
very small portion of them. He became
very much worried over his inability TO
find his wealth He did not know but
that the secretary had lost it in specula-
lions. Finally he remembered that the
secretary kept a box in a safety deposit
company's vault in an out-of-the-way part
of the city, and there he found the Sc
curites.
II would be surprising, indeed if it
should turn out that Mr.. Brices estate
is no more than 100000. 1t is a fact,
however, that the wealth of most rich men
is greatly overestimated. Many of those
who are roputed to be worth millions are
not worth hundreds of thousands They
manage TO keep up appearances and let
the impression that they are millionaires
20 for what il is worth. Frequently, it is
worth great deal in the way of credit.
At the time of his death it was sup
posed that Mr. Brices estate was worth
at least $10OOo,OOO 1t may be that he
distributed it among his children before his
death, so as to avoid the inheritance tax
of the state of New York. In her state
n1ent to the surrogate the widow said
that Mr. Brice left no real estate, and
that his personal property amounted TO
$500 .000 If it be a fact that he was not
a millionaire those who knew him well
will be very much surprised

The New York sun. discussing The ac-

North Carolina and Alabama viii 70 ow
their example says. "Ths practical disfran-
ohjs1ment Of a great parJ OF the popula-
tons OF these states introduces a novel
question of very grave Importance, which
must ne brought INTO prominence when
the new apportioument OF presidential cleo
tors and Of representatives in Congress,
under The enumeration Of the census Of
next year, comes mp for serious consider
alton"
How is IL that the sun has never thought
that the Acknowledgement Of I.iterates in
Massachusetts presented "a novel ques-
ton of very grave Importance" Was it
because the Acknowledgement OF ndterates
in that state insured a Republican major
ity there under any and all circum-
stances? Il is true that Comparatively few
people are disfranchised by the
Massachusetts suffrage law against
nhteracy, but the principle is the
same whether many or few are dis
franchised. Has any Republican ever felt
il his duty to inquire whether Massachu-
sets representation in Congress should
not be cut down because some of her peo-
pie are not permitted to vote for want Of
ability to read and write and a suf-
hcient property qualification? If not, why
not2 But now that there is chance for
the Republican party to gain political
ADVANTAGE by cutting down the represcn-
tation in Congress and in the electoral col
lege Of those states in the South that find
il necessary. in order to preserve their
civilization, to disfranchise a portion OF
their populations, the Republican leaders
and newspapers are insisting that advant-
age shall be taken of that chance. The
fact that the restriction of The suffrage

ates to prepare themselves for The duties

cess
But are not those who are DISTINGUISHED
entitled to representation in Congress and

and taxpayers. They do not pay direct
taxes for the support of the government.
but they pay the indirect taxes, just as
those who enjoy the privilege of the fran
chise do. In the states in which the dis
franchising laws are in force the restric-
ton Of the suffrage has not been followed
by a reduction of the representation.
It is no doubt the purpose of the Repub-
iican party to reduce The representation in
Congress of the states Of the South which
have disfranchised the lliterate portions
Of their population If they have the power
TO do so when the new apportionment is
made 1t via strike the Democratic party
wherever it can.

The Soldiers Who Wear the Blue

CWritten in honor of the ladies of Sa-

Maine Heavy Artillery)
There's many tale which history tells
OF noble men and true,
But none are more brave or worthy of
fame
Than the soldiers who wear the blue.
Long years ago a civil strife
Divided our native land,
The war clouds darker and darker grew
And ruin seemed closed at hand.
Two armies formed and with fervent
zeal,
Equipped for the bloody fray,
One, dressed in the garb of Northern blue
The other, in Southern gray
The war clouds scattered and peace once
more
Ruled all with a gentle hand;
The strife was ended and all was well
In our much-loved native land.
Years passed away, and then appeared
A cruel foreign foe,
And North and South arose as one
To strike mighty blow.
NY ~ oSN .ie 81 usSiS VI years Sone by
And, breaking unfriendly bands,
They reused to the call of neighbor weak
And Georgia and Maine clasped hands
They marched to victory side by side
And, to God and country true,
They bore above them the Stars and
Stripes
And all wore the garb of blue.
Peace reigns once more, and North and
South
Have shown themselves loyal and true.
And ready to fight End, if need be, die
To defend the weak and few.
All honor to those who have always been
To flag and country true!
All honor to those who once stood for the
gray
But now stand true to the blue.

The story is told in Washington that the
Cuban insurgents had made a pan TO loot
stores and residences in Havana on The
occasion of the proposed jubilee which
was shut Off by Gen Brooke. The story
probably does the Cubans "a gross injus-
tice. There are no doubt a good many
men in the insurgent army who would
probably like nothing better than an OPP
portunity TO loot and pillage. and proba-
bly, also to cut a few Spanish threats
meantime; but without the strongest kind
of evidence il would be wrong TO attribute
any such desire to the Cuban army as an
organization.

There have been several unsuccessful
efforts to change the name of New Hous-
ton street There is az present a petition
before city Council looking to the same
end. The objection is not to the name,
Houston, which is an honored one in Geor-
gia history, but to the prefix. Besides,
there is already a Houston street, a broad
thoroughfare in the eastern part of the
city; and there is no good reason why
there should be a Houston and a New

the present Houston street were changed.
and the New" were dropped from the

might prove satisfactory. But if that

INJUSTICE TO THE NAVY.

The navy has not been treated with en-
tire fairness by the army since the begin
ming of the war with Spain At Santiago
the navy was not invited to participate in
The surrender. and the other day al Ha-
vana the navy was not asked to partici-
pate in evacuation day proceedings Why
IN these affairs, was the navy ignored?
Is the army jealous of the navy, and is
there a purpose to ignore it? We can
hardly think So As a matter of fact the
navy did far more than the army to bring
the war with Spain 10 a speedy end. The
battle of Manila and that of Santiago
brought Spain to a realization of her in
ability to cope with US. If II had not been
for the deeds of the navy the war would,
in all probability, be in progress now.
1t is said that there is considerable
feeling in naval circles because no naval
officer was invited to be present at the
ceremonies at the palace of the governor
general in Havana last Sunday, and not
a few of the naval officers believe that a
slight was intended. There is no good
reason why there should be any feeling of
jealousy or of bitterness between the army
and navy and the President ought to see
to it that there is no occasion for any.

The Chinese minister seems to have
made himself eligible TO exclusive political
circles in Washington, and to have en-
HANGED his rspu alton with certain of his
contemporaries, by a performance Of his
a week or two 100. It seems that a din
ner was given by Vice President Hobart
at which the guest Of the evening was
Wa Ting Fang. the Chinese minister.
There We're a number Of senators present.
One Of the senators suggested to his col
leagues that they test the drinking capac-
ity Of the Representative of his Oriental
majesty. MIR. WI was never found want
ing or even hesitating After the glasses
had passed rapidly for some time the
senator's one after another dropped away.
Finally, when The last of them had dis
appeared Mr.. WI, with a twinkle in mis-
eye which showed how he had
enjoyed turning the joke, asked
of Mr.. Hobart, Where are the
senators?" Then the Chinaman
proposed to the Vice President that they
take ''night-cap" which being done the
celestial walked steadily down 10 his car
rage and was driven home Mr.. Wu's
prowess m downing an aggregation of
American senators at their own game
