THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER.

The choice of Representative Richard
son of Tennessee for leader of the MI
nority of the House will be very generally
approved. He has the confidence of Dem
ocrats throughout the country to a mark
ed degree He has been In Congress many
years, and is an excellent parliamentarian
and a strong debater. He does not lose
his head in times of excitement, and is
well equipped to take care Of the interests
of the minority when partisan questions
are brought into prominence In the House.
1t seems that not enough was thought
give his candidate, Mr.. Sulzer,
very serious consideration. Mr.. Sulzer is
a bright young man, but his experience
in Congress has not been such as to justify
him in expecting the leadership of his
party in the House. There is no ques-
ton of his ability or his party zeal, but
the choice has fallen upon one who. for
several reasons, is better qualified for the
place.
1t is probable that while MIR. Reed was
speaker Mr.. Richardson was called to pre-
side over the House oftener than any other
Democrat He is popular with Republicans
as well as Democrats, and 1t is safe to pre-
dict that in his new position he win give
much better satisfaction than Mr.. Bailey,
who was the Democratic leader in the last
House, did. He is a leader whom the
Democrats will willingly follow.

The value of Education.

Yes, SIR" remarked the squire, accord
ing to Harper's Bazaar, as he sat in his
chair smoking and Eliminating, this here
matter of education has its good points
after all. Now take them two girls of
mine. Before they went away to boarding
school they worried me and their mother
nearly to death over the looks of this
Old home place; said it was TOO old timey,
that windows, doors mantels, and every
thing else was too much out of date, and
every day they begged me to either tear
the cd thing down and build one of them
peart cottage things, or else spend a pile
of money fixin' this one up"
where does education come in?"
well, sir, you would hardly believe it,
but after l sent them girls OFF to boaIdin'
school they come back just tickled to
death with the old home; said it was CO.
lonial mansion, and that they wouldn t
swap il with its doors, windows, porches,
and all, for any house in the county. Why,
one day when 1 sent for the carpenter to
tear down one of the old mantels, intend
ing to have a new. one built to take 'em
on surprise, they found il out, drove the
carpenter out of the house, and nearly eat
me up; wanted to know If / knew the old
thing was a co onial mantel, and told ne
that l had better 80 and read up and post
myself. That's what education does. If
l hadn't sent them girls to school, they
never would have known that they were
living in a colonial house, and like as not
a new one would have to have been built
to keep peace in the family"
And the squire chuckled to himself over
the oddities of human nature.

A Retreat with a Purpose.

"a story I read the other day." said
A. G. Hepworth of Atlanta, according to
the New York Tribune. strongly reminds
me of one that 1 heard of a Mobile law
yer. This lawyer, who was lame and had
something of a reputation as a fighter,
was at one time attorney in suit that
caused much i'll feeling. He won the suit
for his client, and the loser vowed ven
geance. In pursuance of that same in
the language of Truthful James, he one
day went into the lawyers Office and sub
jected him to a TRADE of abuse that would
have caused a salt water captain to die
from pure envy, such was his talent in
vitupera ton. The lawyer answered him
nothing, to the surprise of Two or three
men who were present, but, getting out
of his chair began to hobble backward.
His enemy, thinking ne was retreatng,
followed him up, with more abuse and
threatening gestures. The lawyer foot
finally struck against the wall, when he

is THIS FAN CRIrICIsMf

The New York Times thinks that Gov
Johnston of Alabama and the Atlanta Con-
stitutlon are inconsistent, because they
are preaching silver, but preferring gold
in their business transactions. 1t calls at
tention to the fact that Gov.J Johnston, in the
addresses ne is delivering in his campaign
for the office of United States senator, is
declaring for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, and yet he is trying to fund
the per cent bonds of Alabama into S1s
per cent gold bonds.
The Times also calls attention to the
announcement of the Atlanta Constitution
of an issue ''of $4,000 first mortgage sink
ing fund per cent. gold bonds" of the
Constitution Publishing Company, and in
dulges In the following comments on the
action of Gov. Johnston and the announce
ment of the Constitution:
Gov. Johnston and the Atlanta Consti-
tuition appear to be guilty of the rank in
consistency Of preaching silver and prac-
ticing gold How long win the Southern
people continue to listen to and be guided
by the advice of leaders who have not
faith enough in the economic principles
they preach to apply them to their own
business transactions?
The criticism of the Times is hardly
fair. 1t is probable that both Gov. john
ston and the Constitution believe that
there is no danger of the country's goins
to a silver basis. AT the same time It is
a fact that in the money markets gold
bonds can be sold to much better advant-
age than currency bonds 1t is probable
that Gov. Johnston can fund the 5 per
cent. bonds of Alabama into 31k per cent.
gold bonds at par, and perhaps the Con-
stituton Publishing Company can mar
ket its 5 per cent. gold bonds at a prem
lum. but they could not do nearly so well
with currency bonds. They are simply
taking advantage of existing conditions.
II they can get more for gold bonds than
for currency bonds there is no good rea-
son why they should not stick to gold in
their business and TO silver in their
| speeches and newspaper articles. As a
matter Of fact, it is probable that both
Gov. Johnston and the Constitution. II

ers would prefer bonds payable in gold

ouR POLICY IN THE FAR EAST.

/ Much interest is felt in that part of the
| Presidents message which Will deal with
/ this country's commercial interests in the
Far East. AS is well known, the secre-
tary Of State addressed communications 70
the governments of Russia, Germany and
France some weeks ago, asking them if
il was their purpose to maintain the open
door" policy in those portions OF China
which they regarded as being within their
respective spheres of influence. This ac-
ton was taken because they had asked
the United States to join them in parcel
ing out the Chinese Empire for trade pur-
poses, and because of the general under
standing that 1t was the purpose of each
of them 10 monopolize the trade of the
part of the empire that came within its
control:
1t is said that the Secretary Of State
was somewhat surprised by the an
swers he received. These Powers, 1t
seems, stated that they would accede to
the open door" policy providing the Unit
ed States would adopt that policy for the
Philippines.
The Secretary is not in a position to say
whether this country will adopt the open
door policy for the Philippines or moi.
He does not know what the intention of
Congress is in regard to them. 1t is doubt
full If Congress itself knows.
One thing appears TO be certain, and
that is that If 1t is decided to retain the
islands permanently It will be impossible
to have an "open door policy for them
unless radical changes are made in our
manent possession they will be part of
the United States and the constitution
requires that all customs and internal rev.
enue laws shall be uniform throughout the
country.
1t is evident that the Philippines are
going to present some interesting questions
for Congress to settle. This country is not
going to consent to be shut out of the
trade of the Chinese Empire, but the Pow
ers which have foothold there may in
sist upon shutting 1t out unless il consents
to admit them TO the Philippines on an
equal footing with itself.
1t is stated in some of the Washington
dispatches that there seems to be a grow
ing feeling among Congressman against
the permanent retention of the Philippines,
but it is pretty certain that this is not
correct statement of the situation. 1t will
be found when the time comes for testing
the sentiment of Congress that the ma
jority in favor Of expansion is large. A
way will be found doubtless to so adjust
trade matters in which this country and
the Powers of Europe are jointly interest
ed that the United States viii get ala they
are contending for in China

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Hartford Comm Times Dem. }
says: National Republican Committee
man Henry c. Payne's plan of making the
Republican vote cast in 1896 the basis of
representation in the next National Con-
vention would cut down the number of
delegates from seven Southern states from
129 TO 40. Connecticut would gain three.
New York fourteen, Illinois seventeen, and
Ohio eleven. We do not believe that Mr..
Hanna viii approve this change Mr..
Mckinley might not have been nominated
in 1896 if the South had had 100 fewer del
egates than it would have under this sys-
tenn"
The Nashville American (Dem) says:
with war drawing TO an end in the Phil
ippines and waging fiercely in South Afri-
ca, the arbitration treaty framed at The
Hague Peace Conference will be present.
ed to the United States Senate. 1t is not
certain thai the Senate will ratify 1t, al
though the members generally favor the
principle of arbitra zion. Already some
hints have been given out In Europe that
as soon as signed and agreed to by a sufti-
Gent number of the powers, an effort will
be made to mediate between Great Britain
and the Transvaal."
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says:
Government ownership of railroads in
this country must come by some grand
convulsion or arbitrary exercise of power,
If 1t comes at all. The figures in the an
nual report of the bureau of railways of
this state show how impossible il would
be for the government TO purchase even
the railways of this one state at anything
like their present valuation. Their total
capitalzat ton is reported TO be ST. 1858. JIG,
and this Is only a beginning of the rail-
road valuation of the United States"
The New York Tribune (Rep) says:
1.-THE present understanding, perhaps alli-
ance, between Great Britain and Germany
calls to mind the interesting historical fact
that almost alone of all powers in Europe,
those two have never been at war with
each other. Germany has fought various
others, and Great Britain has at one time
or another been at war with most other
powers, but these two have never yet
crossed swords. The danger of their ever
doing so is now greatly diminished"
The New York Times (Dem.) says: THE
state of Georgia has right to congratu-
late itself and to be thanked by the coun-
try for the disposition that 1t has made OF
a bill practically intended TO dlsfrancnise
the ignorant blacks while leaving the igno-
rant among the whites with all their
rights or privileges unimpaired."
