Sara Bernhardt's Hamlet did not
please the Viennese and instead of
playing the part of the melancholy
Dane four times in Vienna. she con-

The Viennese appreciate the divine

was in one sense hers. 1t does not seem
so fragrant case as that of the boy
who shot O'Connor.
AS to the women who are indicted

her pity, her tenderness and gentle

Relation of the Presidents.

Although the Baptist denomination is
the strongest numerically in this country,
or else Is A good second to the combined
Methodist strength, yet a Baptist has new
er reached the White House. There is no
way to account for the strange fact that
out of twenty-five presidents, not one has
been connected even by marriage with one
of the greatest churches in, but not of,
the republic Political events just happen
ed in that way, and that is all the ex-
PLANTATION the case admits of.
The list is interesting in the respect of re-
ngious affiliations. Washington was a
ccmmunlcant of the Episcopal church, and
had long been one before he became presl-
dent. Both of the Adamses were Unita-
rians, as was MilMard Fillmore. Jefferson
was not an attendant at any church, but
some of his later writings support his
daughters assertion to the effect that he
died a believer. Madison, Monroe, w. H.

Primaries in Clarke County.

The Age-Herald was misinformed by
correspondent. In Clarke county the coun-
ty executive committee has called beat pri-
maries instead of beat meetings of the old
fashioned, repudiated sort. These primaries
are to be held January 90 and county
convention is to be held January %. This
is breach of party discipline that was and
is wholly inexcusable; but so long as the
people are to have an opportunity to ex-
press in secret ballots their preferences, no
particular harm will come from it.
The Grove Hill Democrat is mistaken as
to The Age-Herald's position in this mat
ter. The objection raised by The Age
Herald related to beat meetings These, 1t
seems, are to be primaries, and Clarke
of the state, so far as opportunity for pop.
allar expression is concerned. 1t is regret
able that Clarke should see fit to ignore
the directions of the state executive COM
mttee-directions that are as binding upon
the democrats of Clarke county as are the
directions of the county executive commit
tee. each being of a like nature. But spots
of INSTRUMENTATION have appeared here and
there in the state, and Clarke is no worse
in this respect than few of its neighbors.
This wave of INSTRUMENTATION has sub
sided, and it is practically determined that

Buy the Danish West Indies.

Russia sold her American possessions to
Us, and Spain gave over her possessions
at the point of the sword. There remain
in America only Denmark, Holland, France
and England For 100000 we can now
buy Denmark's possessions. Holland would
doubtless sell her possessions in America
on reasonable terms and the time is likely
to come when France would do likewise in
order to avoid their fall into Englands
hands. We need not quarrel with England
over her possessions, for she is the mother
land anyway, and her civilization and her
treatment of colonies means all possible
liberty and development.
But outside of England, this country
should as rapidly as circumstances become
favorable push, by purchase on reasonable
terms, Denmark, Holland and France out
of America. Denmark owns the islands of
St Thomas, st. John and st. Croix in the
West Indies She has long desired to sell
them to the United States, and in 1867 an
agreement was actually drawn up under
which she was to cede the islands to the
United States for the sum OF $75O0,O0O. The
effort at cession in 1867 came to nothing.
Public sentiment was not ripe for it. Sew
en- years ago Denmark again expressed a
willingness to sell, naming this time $5,OO0,-
900 as a consideration. A change of admin
istration at Washington defeated the ne
gotiations Now it is said she is willing to
accept 100000, and there are many who
believe the payment of the sum might keep
off Germany, thus avoiding an expensive
assertion of the Monroe doctrine. Germa-
ny is certainly willing to gain a foothold in
the West Indies
The truth is. the policy of this country
as to old holdings by European countries
in America should be as we'll defined our
policy as to new holdings is. We forbid the
latter, and we should steadily try, as cir
cumstances permit, to terminate the for
mer. If we can buy the Danish West In
dies for 100000, it shoulS be done, and
later on, if we can buy the Dutch and
French holdings at reasonable sums, they,
too, should be purchased This should be
come the fixed policy of the country. We
should buy them out whenever they be-
come tired of holding on-all but England,
and no one can foresee what our relations
to England will be one hundred years
hence. This question belongs to children
yet unborn.

the Church of the Diseiles. The Metho-
dists sent to the White House Grant,
Hayes, and Mckinley
Every president except Jefferson was re-
ligiously inclined. If not a member of a
church, each at least was an attendant
and supporter of some church. Beyond
a doubt Jefferson's residence in Paris dur
ing the French revolution tlnctured and
distorted his religious life 1t doubtless
rendered him more of a radical democrat,
and it probably took away some of his
faith, for while at least, in a Supreme
Being. The far-reaching effects of that
momentous historical event are beyond hu-
man calculation. 1t is felt today in every

KING JOHNSTON
From the Selma Journal.

From the Selma Journal.
Governor Johnston is evidently going
ahead in his canvass with that old explod-
ed theory that 1.-THE king can do nd
wrong" He is boas,dng about the work
ho has done in investigating various coun-
ty officers during his admlnlstra tion,/ but
when it is proposed to investigate him and
his official acts in any shape or form,
howl goes up about persecution and
Johnston strikes the pose of a terribly
maligned martyr. Why shouldn't Cover
nor Johnston be investigated as well as
any other officer of the state? 1t is just
as important to know whether the great
land deals of this state, involving thou
50 nds of dollars, have been JUSTLY, honestly
and properly managed as DIT Is to know
whether tax collector, assessor, sheriff
probate judge or county treasurer is be-
hind hundred more dollars with his
accounts. The search light of investiga-
ton should be turned on the governor in
the administra tion of his office with great
er force than any other officer in the state,
especially when he is asking that he be
elevated to the high office of United States
senator.

House Committee Chairmanships.

The south, of course, got no craftsmanship
not one-because there are few republic
cans from this section of the country, and
none of the few from the border states are
prominent or capable men. But when we
turn to the northern states we find differ
ent state of things. Every state in that Sec
ion sends to Washington republicans, and
in the lot Illinois is particularly conspicu-
Gus, for she hoggsd no less than eight chair
manships. Just why she did not demand
craftsmanship for every republican in her
delegation is accounted for by the fact that
some of her delegation are new men who
would not know what to do with a bill if it
was referred to them. Iowa, the speakers
own state, secured five chaimanships, as
also did New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Michigan had to be content with four
charmanships each. In the next class-the
class of threes-are Minnesota, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Kansas,
Wisconsin, Oregon and New Jersey each
were honored with two chairmanships. and
in the unit class are New Hampshire, Cali
fornia, Nebraska, Indiana, Missouri. South
Dakota, Rhode Island and Maryland.
When the list is carefully analysed it is
seen that the states east of the Mississippi
carried off the better part of the prizes, the
west receiving small attention, and the
south none ait all. This is in accordance
with the makeup of the republican party.
Where the money is there the prizes are
awarded. The plutocratfc east is the de-
pendence of the republican party in pres
idential year, and its wishes are carefully
needed, and important legislation will now
be lodged in hands that will handle or
pigeon-hole it to such campaign subscrib-
