The most arrant piece of nonsense
yet ,perpetrated by the legislature was
the adoption Of an amendment to the
senate bill placing the oil inspector on
2 salary basis, the amendment being to
extend the time; when the law should
go into effect to January j, 1901. We
do not believe in Republicans legis-
lating specifically to the detriment OF
Democrats, but we do not on the other
hand believe that any Republican, with
as much sense as a wooden Indian.
would deliberately pass a law to give
the. Democrats all the advantage of
patronage and shut ont the Republi-
cans just as they are coming into office.
OF. course the Republicans will win
the election in 1900, and the adoption
OF this fool law would give the Demo-
Gratis something like 1926, 900 to draw
upon for the campaign fund, and then
abolish the fees just as the Republicans
we're getting into a position to realize
upon the offices. This may look like
cold blooded practical politics, but 1t is
common onl1 sense at any rate, and might
just as we'll be stated in plain words.

THE difference between Gov. Lind
and the legislature concerning his veto
81 the passageo of the sugar bounty bill
is not thoroughly understood by the
people OF the State, but is on the whole
quite simple. The bill which the gov
5ernor vetoed provided simply for the
payment OF q bounty already earned,
and made no provision whatever,
either positive or negative, for further
e e9ncourag gementof the industry. Gov
,ernor Lind admits that the amount
covered g, y by the bill must be paid, and
conveyed il his message. the informa-
tion that he would not sign any bill
unless the bounty was repealed, and
that he would sign q bill to pay the
amount already earned provided the
bounty law was repealed The legisla-
3ture took the position that he had no
right to dragon It into that kind Of
leg islation and passed the bill over bis
vetd upon thai theory. Had the q eov-
.ernqr signed the bill ana sent TO the
5legiss sature q commenda for u law
slimitlfn or repeating the bounty, such
81 lay would probably have been
promptly passed and the unple asant
episode would not have occurred

SENATOR HoAR indignantly denies
that he sent messages to the Filipinos
to encourage them in their rebellion.
Unhappily for the public the dilapi-
dated old wad Of spruce gum happens
to be located where his sayings do not
have to be sent specially to the rebels
for their encourag gemeht. Personally
his opinions are worth no more than
those Of any other old grandmother,
but the fact that he happens to be in
the United States senate lends impor-
tance to his sayings and gives for
eigners a false idea Of his rank and
standing in America.

never been expressly and specifically
denied by them. That being appar-
emily Mr.. Bryan 5 only source Of reve-

BAD CUTTING AT PEARSON,
Two Men Fall Out Over Financial
Settlement.

Two Men Fall Out Over "a Financial
Settlement.
Waycross, Ga, Jan. ga gentleman of
Pearson brings the news of cutting
scrape at that place, the principals in
the difficulty being George Love and Jo-
seph Ricketson. Love stabbed Ricketson
three times, once in the breast and twice
in the back.
Information is meager as to the details
of the affair, but it is understood that the
trouble arose over a settlement in business.
1t seems that Love had been working for
Ricketson, and when the two men came
to a final adjustment of the matter they
could not agree, hence the stabbing.
An officer placed Love under arrest. but
he was subsequently released from custody
and he has not been seen since in that
part of the country.
