is found there. The Kaffirs-nothiug TO

of the cruelest and most turbulent races
on earth. Yet this man, who went there
without followers or money. was actually
installed as kng-for a short time. He was
a master of the Kaffir language and man
ners, and managed to get himself accept

While he was king he did The thing thor

while it lasted, gained for him the rever-

to be a genuine deity, and worshipped as
a temple he had erected to himself.
He established the beginnings of a
great horse trade with Afghanistan

QUEER POLITICS IN NEW YORK.

The political situation in New York IS
chat of the bosses against the masses-at
least that is the impression made by the
reports that are appearing in the New
York papers. The political bosses, Mr.
Croker and Mr. Platt, the former con-
trolling the Democratic machine and the
latter the Republican machine, do not
want n man in the Governors mansion
who has a mind of his own. They want
u man there who is willing to be guided
~ the bosses.
II is the understanding that the Repub-
iicans have decided to nominate Mr.. p.
B. Odell the chairman Of the Republican
state Committee. for Governor. Mr. Odell
is popular with the Republican party
workers and with his party generally,
but he is believed to be willing to be
guided by Boss Plat in all political mat
ters. If he should be nominated and
elected Mr., Platt would be the real Gov
ernor. He cannot get the independent
vote. unless more Objectionable man Is
nominated. by the Democrats. 1t is ad-
mitted that the Independent vote will de-
eide the election.
Mr.. Coler is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor He Is
very strong man with the independents.
He is also popular with Democrats of
the rural districts and the best element of
the Democrats in the cities. But the ma
chine Democrats are against him. Mr..
Croker is determined that he shall noe
be nominated. He doesn't want him be
cause he knows that he would be against
many of the schemes which Tammany
has in view for the benefit of its members
1t is believed by such able politicians
az ex-senator Hill that the Democrats
could elect Mr.. Coler, provided Tammany
would give him a hearty support. and
that with him as the Democratic guber-
Material candidate the state could be car
ried for Mr. Bryan. But it is very
doubtful If Mr.. Coler will get the nomina-
ton If he should succeed in getting it,
it is doubtful if Tammany would make
a sincere effort to elect him That or
saniza'ion, it is alleged. would prefer to
have Mr. OdeH for Governor. Mr.. Bryan
is likely to lose New York because the
Democratic boss in that state is against
the nomination for Governor of the man
who would carry it for both the state and
the national tickets
Democrats in other states have reason
to complain of this condition of affairs
They are not particularly interested in
the Democratic state ticket, but they are
profoundly interested in the success of the
Democratic national ticket. But there is
no way in which they can Interfere in
New York, because Mr.. Croker will not
permit interference. He says that he
knows more about the political situation
there than is known by outsiders and
he declares that Mr. Coler is not popu
lar with Democrats. He is not popular
with some Democrats but that is no rea
son why he should not be nominated. If
he is the only man the Democrats have
any chance of electing. those Democrats
who do not like him ought to pocket their
feelings and stand by their party. They
won't do that, however, unless directed
TO do so by Mr.. Croker

The Department of Agriculture has just
issued bulletin giving the results of an
experiment in shipping American sweet
po.aiocs 10 Paris and London. Ten bar
icls Of selected sweet potatoes were ship
ped 90 each city. of course under the
most favorable conditions, in order to in
sure, as Ear as possible. their preserva-
ton. While the experiment was not en-
tirely successful. it demonstrated the fact
that with sufficient care such shipments
may be made. In some of the barrels
there were found many rotten ones, aver
aging about one-third. In London the
potatoes were distributed through stores
and some were given away. The English
people who ate chem found after one or
TWO trials that they were quite palatable,
and a ready sale could no doubt be found
for them there. In France the potatoes
were simply placed on exhibition. no- be
ing distributed because they were in
bond. However. they excited much GU
riosity and interest. The reports from
both London and Paris indicate that if
sweet potatoes can be placed in Eu-
rope in good state of preservation, quite
a market for them can, no doubt, be
found there

rs bicycling as a sport in its deca-
dence?" asks the Chicago Record. In
Chicago il seems that the nightly process
sion of wheels with flashing lights upon
the boulevards is a thing of the past
The century run is a back number, and
the wheel is becoming a necessity. an
object of utility, where it once ranked as
luxury. To a great extent the same is
true in Savannah. Probably many, if
not more, wheels are ridden here than was
the case a year ago, but the nightly pa
rades on the county roads are largely
thing of the past. Where a hundred
wheels were seen on the road a couple
of summers ago there are now scarcely
ten, if as many. Have the people tired
of the sport or has the utility of the
wheel taken away part of the enjoyment
that 1t gave as a luxury?
