rHE LEKYL ISLAND rRIp.

The feature of the Presidents Jekyl ISL
and trip was the determination of the cor
respondents to have it understood that the
visit had great political significance.
They first insisted that number of prom
inent Republican leaders would meet the
President there, and that programme for
The next national campaign would be ar
ranged. Notwithstanding the fact that it
was denied time and time again by persons
in the Presidents party that the visit had
any other purpose than pleasure, the pa
pers of the Country contained long dis
patches of speculation every day about
the proposed political conference. When
the conference did not materialize then
the alleged strained relations between the
President and eX-Speaker Reed were made
the text of dispatches of greater or less
length, and it turned out that there was
nothing sensational in the meeting of the
President and the ex-speaker
Would it not have been better from ev-
cry point of view to have confined the dis
patches to what was actually known?
They would have been far more satisfac-
tory to the country and much less annoy
ing to The subjects of them. The country
wants, of course, to know about the
movements of the President and also of
any political conferences having part.cu-
lar significance, but it is not interested in
speculations about conferences which
have no existence If the President
wants TO discuss political schemes
or party policies with his close
political friends. it is not necessary for
him to go to Townsville or Jekyl Island
to do so without the world knowing of it,
He could have such a conference at the
White House any evening with far less
chance of the fact becoming known than
if it were held at Thomasville or Jekyl
Island.
The truth is undoubtedly that the Pres
ident went TO Thomasvif1e to rest and to
recuperate and for no other reason. and
he visited Jekyl Island because the visit
promised TO be a pleasant one, and BEN
efical one from the point Of health. The
purpose of the Townsville trip was stated
when the President left Washington. and
there has been nothing to even justify an
inference that 1t was not correctly stated
A great deal of newspaper space there
fore has been used to no purpose-in
speculation about probable political con-
ferences at which party questions of mo-
mentous importance were TO be discussed
and settled

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Dem) is not
impressed with the American negro as
soldier. 1t says: 1.-The negro soldier with
a gun in his hand, and under the strict
surveillance of his military superiors, is
no doubt capable of effective service on
emergent occa sions; but the negro soldier
after his gun has been laid aside does not
so readily revert to a peaceful occupa-
ton. He seems disposed to make little
private wars on his own account, and 10
become a turbulent factor in the com
munity.
1T was thought during the late war
that negro soldiers would be of especial
help to military operations in the West
Indies because of their being better able
to endure the hardships of the extreme
southern climate; but the black soldiers
bring back from the tropics some tropical
notions that are not calculated to pro-
mote the ends of peace and good neigh
borhood II may be better to make our
wars hereafter without attempting to inn
pose any share of the white mans bur-
den upon men of other colors. since the
latter are not so shfty in turning their
spears into pruning hooks"
The Charleston Evening Post Dem)
thinks the Belmont controversy
VIII OILY tSHal TO bllchslly party ldCtlOH-
alism. It says: There was opportunity
for a reunion of the two wings of the Dem
ocracy, for uniting upon a common plat
form which would attract support of
many Eastern Republicans. Silver and
gold men could have been brought together
on an anti-expansion platform. and thou
sands upon thousands of Eastern Re-
publicans would have supported the cause
But Mr.. Bryan says nay; he wants to be
elected but only by silver votes. He will
have no mixed political drink, only The
straight clear silver fluid suits his taste"
Commenting on the correspondence be-
tween Col. Bryan and Mr.. Belmont, the
Baltimore Sun Dem.) says: "One thing
is made certain by the ex-candidate's let
ter-namely, that if he is renominated he
will have the same sort of battle to fight
over again that he fought before. His let
ter is, therefore. from the practical poll
tician's point of view a tactical blunder
since 1t is unwise TO ALLEVIATE possible al
lies unnecessarily. Il remains to be seen
what the national executive committee of
the democracy thinks Of Mr.. Bryan's pol

BRIDGE ON WHEATON STREET.

1t has been suggested, and the sug-
gestion appears to be practical one. that
a bridge should be thrown over the Plant
System crossing and Bnbo canal on
Wheaton street Beginning at the foot
of Liberty street. the grade of Wheaton
is down, until ihe track and the canal are
crossed and then there is a rise in the
grade pretty much all the way to the toll
gate. BY starting an ascending grade
shortly below the foot of Liberty. a suffl-
cient hight could be secured, by the time
the railroad crossing and the canal were
reached, TO permit of the easy passage of
trains under the roadway; and on the
eastern side the grade would be similarly
slight and as easily made.
Such a roadway would be but little
above the level of the lands on either side
The present roadway, as an examination
easy grade to the canal The amount of
traffic 10 and from the Plant System
wharves is increasing daily, and, in the
course of short time will become prob
baby of such volume as to require more
tracks and many more trains.
These would. of course, obstruct travel
on Wheaton street, besides increasing the
element of danger at the crossing. Even
at present II is quite often the case that
there is jam of vehicles on each side
Of the crossing waiting fer the passing of
train. AS the city grows, the traffic on
both the railroad and the street will in
crease 1t would have been well If this
mater had been given serious considera-
ton before it was finally determined that
the paving of Wheaton street should be
begun on next Monday.

sienature Not just Right.

The Hull England Mall tells this story:
"A short time since the daughter of a mil
lionaire drove up to the door Of a jewelers.
shop, went in and selected turQuois and
diamond ring valued al f50. She made out
her check for the sum and passed it to
the assistant. The alert young man
glanced at 1t and then looked inquringly
up at the young woman and said: There
is some mistake here, l think The
young woman flushed and asked If the
check was not for the right amount. She
was told it was but - But what? she
exclaimed frigidly. DO you mean that
my check is not acceptable2'l The as
sistant acknowledged that he knew who
the young woman was, but explained that
the check was not made out just as it
should be, and he handed IL back. The
girl ran her eyes over il and then turned
a deep crimson. oh! she exclaimed, i
seer And then she proceeded to make
out another check. She had signed the
first one, Your own sweetheart, Jessie. "

When Frank James. the former outlaw
and train robber was in Kansas City
Mo-, recently. the Star of that city, says
he told the following story to one of the
judges of the Circuit Court:
Before my brother Jesse was killed
and before / surrendered, l and my wife
were staying in Baltimore, living very
quietly and under an assumed name, be-
cause there was a reward of $4,000 for
my capture. I was walking leisurely
along the street one day when some one
caught me by the arm. turned and saw
it was a policeman. The policeman said
rather sharply: I want you; come with
me- The thought flashed into my mind
at once that l was recognized and ar
rested. / was heavily armed. and of
course, I did not intend TO be taken alive
under any circumstances. remember
now very distinctly that feeling of ply
for the policeman came over me, for my
mind was made up instantly to kill him
and try to escape. But did not lose my
presence of mind. I asked him:
What do you want me for?'
+" There's been a murder down the
street he said
We'll, didn't do H. told him.
4 know that, but 1 want you to sit on
the coroners jury.
81 felt so much relieved and so good
over it that 1 had to laugh in his face.
l told him that l was not resident OF
Baltimore, but was stranger there
visiting some friends. The policeman
apologized and walked away. l went
and told my wife about it, and IL made
her so uneasy that she insisted that we
must not stay in Baltimore another day,
and we did not We went from there to
New York"

One more experiment in running the big
cotton mill at Charleston with negro labor
is 10 be made. The former experiment
was failure. 1t was said the labor was
unreliable, and could not be brought up to
a high degree Of skill It may be that the
failure was due more to the MANAGEMENT
of che laborers than to any inability on
their part to meet the requirements of
their positions. The new president of the
corporation is an able mill man. and has
he'd a good deal of experience with colored
,aborers in other lines of work. Ii may
be that he will succeed where others have
failed. There isn't any doubt that he
can secure colored hands at less wages
