that the humorist while the guest Of an
athletic Englishman accompanied his
host on a long walk and fell into cons
versation on the whole duty Of man
kind. Twain ended this by tapping his
chest and remarking: MARX, the per-

ever, he grew tired and wanted to
make for home, when his host quoted
another scriptural passage: "who-

lie lighthouses in Chicago, but they are
not what the average healthy boy
wants. They are all right for the pur-
poses for which they were designated
to furnish bathing facilities in crowd
ed tenement districts. But the boy
who wants to cool off and splash
around in the water does not want to
go into a building under a roof and
slip into a warm, nauseating pool, the
limits Of which he can see with half
an eye, and whose scant dimensions
are shared by a hundred others at the
same moment. He wants to get into
the lake-into the limitless, heaving
body of blue water which lies at the
very door of Chicago-with nothing
over him but the blue sky and plenty
of room for 100000 other bathers.
Finding himself without the facili-
ties in the way of lighthouses and bath
ing suits, the small boy is obliged to
make shift with what he finds-the
lake and the pier-and If he uncon-
sciously furnishes summer spectacle
to all beholders he feels ii is not his
fault. In the meantime bathing must
be done from the piers with such scant
protection from the gaping world as is,
furnished by the advertising signs and
the lighthouses.
OF course 1t Is against the law-near-
ly everything the small boy does or
wants to do in Chicago is against some
law. But, while the law expressly for
bids bathing in public without the out
ward and visible signs of a bathing
suit 1t offers no recourse to the pant

and home duties, wanders about to-
ward the great, blue, cool looking lake

The Drcyfus Case.

The London Times gives very carefully writ
ten summary of the Dreyfus case the following
excerpts from which will prove interesting:
Though it was known that Nj. Ballot-Beaupre
would conclude in favor of revision of the judg
ment against Dreyfus, no one apparently foresaw
the precise line of argument he would adopt, or
the very striking pronouncement upon the auth
orship of the bordereau which yesterday caused
such a profound sensation in Court. Upon that
document, according to his view, everything de
ponds. From the strictly judicial standpoint, he
declares that there is but one question under dis
cussion-namely, that of the bordercau consider

and the water-marked tracing paper" Dreyfus,
says M. Balot-Beaupre, was arrested because of
the resemblance between his handwriting and
that of the borderean, and was condemned upon
this resemblance, declared by three out of five
experts to amount to identity. Therefore, in the
view of this experienced magistrate, for the re-
visionists to be successful they must prove that

c1nx needed 40 Monument.

A Kentuckian, who has seen a good many
years of active busy life. told at the Gait
House the other day story of an event
which he witnessed long while ago, and
which he had never forgotten: My IA

death, had taken me from our home In

other blue grass farmers had also come
post haste upon receipt of the sad intelli-
gence A monster meeting was being held

the building of a splendid monument to
the memory of the great commoner. There
was grief upon every face. Speech after
speech had been made. One citizen after an
other had pledged himself to subscribe for
monument fund. Suddenly the cry went
up for Marshall to speak. Old Tom Mar
shall was one of Clay's greatest political
enemies, but, like every Kentuckian, he
had a deep admiration for Harry of the
West MARSHALL Marshall! MARSHALL
the crowd kept calling.
My father was on the platform, and I
stood near behind his chair, peeping over
at the sorrowful assembage with wide
open eyes. AS L looked a man began to

fairly rang-'the man who lies dead to-

A HowIing EngIish Joke.

serious speech--it was on the question
whether ministers of the crown should

Ter from all parts of the House, says
London NJ. A. p. Mr.. Balfour has still
a good deal of the boy about him, and
can, when he is taken aback, look as
shy and as sheepish as if he were home
on his holiday from boarding school,
and that is how he looked when he was
interrupted by this wild outburst of IN
expected and uninteligible laughter.
He turned and leaned down TO Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, 10 ask him for an
explanation. The explanation was given
in the words: 'fStake-overdone;" but still
Mr. Balfour did not grasp it, and it had
to be repeated The origin of the joke
was that, in dealing with the old cry
that man must have "a stake in the
country" he had unluckily added that
the cry had been overdone." The House,
which is extremely quick to catch joke,
at once caught at the unintentional pun,
and roared aloud.

SUFFERS AMBITION.

Congressman William Sulzer of New
York wants TO be the leader of the Demo-
Gratis of the House in the next Congress.
He seems to think that he has the ability
10 fill that position. 1t is question wheth-
err his fellow Democratic members share
that opinion with him. Mr.. Bailey was
not successful leader, and there are
very few leading Democrats who do not
regard him as much ADLER man than
Mr. Sulzer. SIN, Mr.. Sulzer may possess
possibilities not dreamed of by those
Democrats of the House who were asso-
ciated with him in the Fifty-ffth Con-
gress.
1t looks now as if there would be some
thing of contest for the position which
Mr. Suzer wants. II Is understood that
Chairman Jones of the Democratic ma
tional committee, favors Congressman De-
Almond for Democratic leader in the
House DeArmond is a Missourian, and
has made considerable reputation as a de-
batter and parliamentarian. The man who
would come nearest to giving satisfaction
is probably Mr.. Bankhead of Alabama. He
is not brilliant man, but he has solid
attachments and plenty of common sense.
| He has. in a marked degree. some of the
qualities of leadership which Mr.. Bailey
lacked. One is the ability TO inspire cou-
! hdence in his judgment in matters requir-
ing party action. In the last Congress
the Democrats were willing to admit that
Mr. Bailey was brilliant man, but they
were inclined TO doubt the correctness Of
his judgment. Therefore he was without
the support of his party sometimes.
Mr.. Bankhead apparently stands the
best chance of being Mr.. Baileys sue
cessor. If he should be chosen for that
position there will be fewer evidences of
disorganization in the ranks of the Democ-
racy in the next House than there was
! in the last.

While there are improvements which the
street railway company might make that
would cost nothing. there are also improve
ments which the city council might make
without COST. One of them, which we re-
ferred to the other day is the num-
bering of the streets in the southern sec
ton of the city, counting from Bay, so
that a streets name would give a correct
idea of its situation. and also of the ex-
tent of the city southwark from the water
front. The present Council is on record as
being opposed TO radical departures in
street nomenclature, and its position is
well taken. But 10 correctly number the
streets referred TO would involve no radi-
cal change. There are just thirty streets
from Bay to the first Of the numbered
streets, hence the only change would be
from First, Second. Third, and so on. to
Thirty-first, Thirty-second, Thirty-third,
etc. And there is another improvement
which the Council will not forget, we are
sure but viii take care of whenever 1t can
see its way clear 10 making the necessary
small expenditure; and that is the putting
- of signs at the street corners. AT pres
ent one must be an old or very well in

LET THEM GO.

Those who are trying, by legal methods
at Columbus, Ga. to put a stop TO the
efforts that are being made to induce ne
gro laborers to emigrate from the South
to the West, do not seem to be meeting
with much success. 1t is to be hoped that
they will not Let all the negroes who
want to go to the West, go. Instead of
holding them back they should be encour-
aged to go. All of the negroes will
not go, and those who go will make room
for white people. What the South wants
are white immigrants. They help build up
the country. The negroes contribute very
little to the upbui.ding of the country.
They make very good laborers, of course,
but that is about all they are good for SO
far as making the country more prosper
Gus is concerned.
There are many more negroes in the
South than there is any need for. In
every community a large percentage of
them are idle a very considerable part of
the time If the negroes were scattered
over the whole country they would have a
better opportunity for lettering their
moral and material condition, and the
white people of sthe South would be re-
leved of a very heavy burden.
IL is a fact that cannot be successfully
controverted that the greatest drawback
TO the South's prosperity is her negro pop
ulatfon If this population should go sud
denly, the South would. of course. have a
hard time of il for a while, because labor
would be scarce and dear. but in che
course of a little time white people would
hll ne vacancy caused by the departure
of the negroes, and they would be a tre-
mendous force in building up the country.
The negroes are not all going at once, how
ever, if, in fact. any considerable of them
are going al all.
Those white people who are insisting
that no effort to get negroes to emigrate
10 the West shall be encouraged, or even
countenanced, seem to think that negro
labor is much cheaper than white labor
would be. Probably it is but did it ever
occur to these DIRECTORS that not more
than half of the negro population of the
South are actually needed to supply the
South's labor demand. and that the other
naI nave 10 De Ie0 from the ldDleS OF
those who employ negro labor? The feed
ing Of these idle millions ought to be taken
into consideration in estimating the cost
of negro labor.
The negro population is a drag on the
South in more ways than one. 1t is not
only barrier to immigration, but it dis
courages white people from entering the
field of manual labor. A white. farmer
and his sons hesitate to do regular farm
work in communities in which the la
borers are almost all negroes. In the West,
and even in Texas, the crops are raised
almost wholly by white labor-much of
the work being done by the farmers and
their families. Hence the cost of pro-
ducing crops there is less than where all
labor is done by negroes. and therefore
there is more prosperity there.
With fewer negroes the South would
have lower taxes and better political con.
ditions. The color line In politics would
disappear and there would be fewer
drones among the whites as we'll as among
the blacks. Therefore don't stop those
negroes who want to emigrate to the
West
