The Circuit Rider,s Horse.

Once upon a time, says the Chicago
Chronicle, the Rev. Frank Gunsaulus, the
popular preacher was a poor circuit-rider.
He Travelled from town TO town, lifted over
the roads in farm wagons and boarded
around al the houses of the deacons, re-
turning occasionally to his fathers old
farm to spend a few days. His father, 60
the story goes, was rough Old chap of the
uncut diamond sort, with a vocabulary
more expressive than elegant.
Well, at one time, young Gunsaulus
found himself in possession of enough
money to buy him a horse. He thought
it would be better to ride his own animal
around the circuit than to borrow trans
portatiou. 1t was a sorry-lookng steed,
this but it answered the purpose, and,
what was more to the point, it was cheap.
So after he had bought it, he rode it home.
His father was in the barn-yard when he
came in and he booked critically at the
animal.
where did We git that boss, Frank?"
he asked.
Il bought him cheap father" said the
young preacher.
Hes sorry lookin critter. I must
say" said the father
well, father" said Frank. you re-
member that our Saviour rode into Je-
rusaIem on a worse-lookiug animal than
this"
And the old man looked at the horse
again and said:

THE HARDwICK BILL.

If the House expressed the senti-
ments of the people of this state there is
very little sentiment in favor of taking
the ballot away from the ignorant portion
of the negroes. The Hardwick bill was
turned down yesterday so empha tically as
to justify a doubt whether the question of
DISTINGUISHING the negroes will ever come
up again. 1t is safe to say. however. that
there is much stronger sentiment in
favor of it than the vote yesterday indi-
Gated. But it was felt that the time had
not come yet in this stale for legislation of
that kind.
And it may never come. 1t would be
better for the state probably if the peo-
pie should never think 1t had come. An
expression of The intelligent voters in
state, county and municipal matters can
be had by means of the white primary
BY a primary of that sort the purchas-
able vote can be, to very great extent
eliminated.
In our opinion the action of the Legsla-
ture in killing the Hardwick bill will be
very generally approved. If the bill had
been passed. and had become a part of
the organic law of the state, it is doubtful
If its effect on the state would have been
altogether good.

One Of the interesting sights of Honolulu
Hawaii, but one few persons have an OPP
portunity to view, is great turtle living
on the premises Of a family there. This
creature seems 10 have more intelligence
than is usually allot ed 10 one of is spe-

One day a huge turtle, measuring four or
five feet in length, appeared at the garden
gate Of the family mentioned, erawled in
and made Itself at home. The creature was
put out, but returned. This was repeated
several times, the last app arance being
signelized by h S raising himself on his

resist longer, and admitted Mr.. Turtle.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION.

The Republicans are giving out the i'm
preston that il is their intention 10 pass
a currency measure this winter. They
have a currency bill which has the ap-
prevail Of many Of their leaders. It was
prepared by a committee selected at eau
Gus of the Republicans of the House at
the close Of the last Congress.
A synopsis of this bill was given in our
dispatches yesterday. Il contains an I'M
equivocsI declaration for the gold stand
ard and provides that when gold is paid
out for greenbacks, the greenbacks shall
not be paid out again except for gold. This
provision is to prevent gold from being
drained out of the treasury at times when
there is a great demand for 1t, such as
there was during the panic of 1893. An
other provision authorizes the establish
ment OF national banks with a capital Of
SIS coo. 1t is supposed that this provision
viii be helpful to the farming sections,
where 1t is claimed there is now a great
scarcity of money.
A provision that will be generally APP
proved probably is the one which permits
banks 90 issue notes 10 the par value Of
the bonds they have on deposit with the
government to secure circulation. When
the law allowing them to issue
notes for only 80 per cent. of
the par value OF the bonds was
enacted, there was little, if any, premium
on government bonds. Now per cent.
bonds command a premium of more than
8 per cent. If the government issues any
more bonds it ought to place the interest
al a rate that would cause the bonds to
swer admirably for banking purposes, pro
vided the present national banking system
is to be retained.
We have expressed doubt all along that
there would be financial legislation by this
Congress. A presidential election is rap
idly approaching. In the last national cleo
ton the Republican party did not come
out squarely for the gold standard. 1t is
far from certain that it intends to do so
in the presidential contest next year, but
If this Congress should pass a gold stand
ard measure it would be compelled 10 do
so. It is doubtful if it is yet ready to
take the final step toward the gold stand
ard 1t is likely it will hesitate about
doing so. The chances are that ii will
straddle the silver question as it did in
1896 There are undoubtedly Republican
leaders who think that the wise thing to
do is to meet the silver question by bold
declaration in favor of the gold standard
but il is yet 10 be determined whether or
not they are in the majority.

And have the public roast me,
Because 1 liked

Nay, nay! l do not
Care for any hero biz in mine.

Or secret,

MIR. sULzER's AMBITION

Mr.. sulzer. the ambitious young con-
gresham from the city of New York, Is
very much in earnest in his efforts to get
the empty honor of being the Democratic
leader of the House. He has headquarters
in Washington, and he is buttonholing
Democratic representatives as they ar
rive in that city, and pointing out TO them
how important 1t is that the Democracy
of the Empire State of the North shall be
led to believe chat the national democracy
look to 1t for victory in the national con-
test next year. The way 10 make the New
York democracy believe this is, in Mr..
Suffers opinion. Is to elect him to the
position of leader of the minority in the
House
There is no doubt that Mr.. Sulzer Is a
very bright young man, and as far as
knowledge Of parliamentary rules and law
is concerned he is we'll equipped for the
position, but has he the necessary amount
of judgment? That is the important
question. Mr.. Bailey of Texas. the leader
of the Democrats in the last Congress, is
very smart, but he lacked judgment when
there was the utmost need of it-at least
some of his political friends entertained
that opinion Mr.. Sulzer would do for or
binary occasions, but would he fill the bill
on great occasions? There are reasons
for thinking that Mr. Bankhead of Ala
bama comes nearer being the kind of man
the Democrats want to lead them in the
House during the Congress about to as
semble than any other they can select.
He has experience, and is apt to think
twice before speaking. In his leadership
he would seek for substantial results
rather than to make an impression.
Mr.. Sulzer is a Tammany man, and
Tammany is not in the very best of stand
ing with the Democratic party. 1t is
true that Mr.. Croker says that Mr.. Bryan
will be the presidential nominee of the
Democrats and that Tammany will sup
port him. but it did not give him very
hearty support four years ago. 1t is doubt
full, therefore, if there Is much change for a
Tammany man TO get the position of
leader OF the Democrats of the House.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The birmingham Age-Herald (Dem.) dis
cussing the ballot reform bill of Mr.. Hard
wick. now before the Georgia I,eeislature
says: 1.-THE proposition contains also the
grandfather" clause of louisiana, under
which all who We're voters in 1857 and
their descendants, would be voters regard
less OF Nhteracy, property, poll-taxes or
what not. This clause has not been passed
upon in any way by the court of last re-
SORT. Its constiiutionality is exceedingly
couptful. Few or no negroes We're voters
in 1867. II is a discrimination against the
negroes In fact, but not in express terms,
and 1t may therefore be squeezed through
the Supreme Court. Untn the clause is
passed upon il would be unwise in Geor-
gia or any other state to adopt it: for il is
so woven into the Hardwick proposition
that its overthrow would upset the entire
amendment The Hardwick proposition
should be permitted 10 go over TO another
Legislature"
The Philadelphia Ledger Gnd) says:
THE plan proposed by ex-senator Ed
munds for dealing with Bigamist Roberts
is much the best that has been brought
forward. On the face of the returns Mr.
Roberts is clearly entitled to his seat;
therefore, says Mr. Edmunds, let him be
seated. But the House may judge whether
he is a fiji person to be one of its MEM
bers and, by two-thrds vote, may ex-
pei him, and on this point, Mr. Edmunds
thinks, the contest should be made 1t
will not only set the question of polyga-
my squarely on its merits, but will place
the House on record as 10 its own esti-
mate of its own dignity"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.) says:
IF one were asked why 1t is that neither
Bryan nor Mckinley has a rival for the
nomination of his party to that office,
there is no better reply. no better expla-
nation to be given, than that in the dearth
of great men they are regarded by the
little men who manage national parties
nowadays as the most available candi-
dates. And yet there never was a time
when the highest order of craftsmanship
was more imperatively demanded TO dis
charge The tasks which circums tances have
devolved upon the chief magistrate of the
United States"
The Springfield CMass) Republican Gnd)
says: Mr. Quay's chances Of being seated
in the Senate are shaken by Senator
Jones announcement that he will oppose
the Pennsylvanian's admission. As the
Arkansan wi be the Democratic leader
in the Senate, his announcement indicates
that not much Southern or Democratic
support can be counted on for Quay's
purposes"
