The Private Member.
From London Punch.


according to the Express, a number of
privates are to be run as candidates at the
next general election)
Come hither, Tommy Atkinses; console me,
if you can!
I've been a private; now, alas! I am
public man.
I've fought a fresh opponent, and I've Civ
en- him a beating;
But now, instead of meeting Beers, only
bore a meeting.
Of course, it sounds delightful; yet life
still hath got its rubs;
I once was dubbed with rifles, now I'm
rifled with these clubs:
Instead of raising funds for me, as used
to be their way,
Constituents all look to me TO do the
pay, pay, pay"
They think, as I'm soldier, when they
stretch their greedy palms,
1t is simplicity itself to me-presenting
aims;
They harass me by night and day; it seems
to be their view.
AS I've been taught TO stand at ease, I'll
stand a teasing, too.
They write to me for cheques and add an
tcipating thanks;
The only checks 1 ever had were on Tu-
gela banks,
And these must have been broken by the
run on them, I fear;
Those checks were never honored by the
people over here.
Then, too. my colleagues look askence. 1
held my head up high,
When I was in the ranks, but now a rank
outsider l.
All me! l mourn those happy days that
long have taken flight,
For though we then were drilPd all day,
we were not bored all night

It is said that Mrs. Minnie Madderu
Fiske, the actress, registers from Mobile,
Ala, when she goes away from home. She
is now in Europe, and always writes Mo
bile" on hotel registers after her name.
Many persons have wondered why she does
not register from New York. The expla-
nation is that Mrs. Fiske was born and
reared in Mobile. and has never ceased 10
regard that city as home" The Mobile
Register says her father, Mr. Madden,
was manager of the theater there, and the
family lived over BetanCourts store
next door. MANY an old Mobilian," says
the paper, remembers the bright-eyed
auburn haired little lass. the Minnie Mad
dern of that day" Few true-blue South
ern women ever repudiate the homes OF
their birth and youth, even when they
have won fame and fortune.

on her official trial trip, the other day
the new Russian cruiser Variag. built in
Philadelphia. proved herself the fastest
craft of her tonnage and type in the
world. For more than seven and a half
hours her average speed was 2S7 knots.
while in one ten-mile squirt her speed
was at the rate OF 246 knots. An acci-
dent, however. spoiled the trial. and she
will have to undergo a second test. It
is claimed that there are two cruisers in
the French navy that are approximately
as speedy as the Nariag, but they have
5000 and 22000 horsepower. respectively.
to the Russians 1900 horsepower. This.
1. is claimed, proves chat the American
model hull is superior to the French
model

What will be the effect upon the Triple
Alliance Of the death of King Humbert?
The question is likely to receive profound
attention shortly. Humbert has been re-
garded as the mainstay of the compact
between Germany, Austria and Italy, since
the retirement and death of Bismarck.
Conditions have changed since the famous
agreement was made, and with new and
young men AT the head of two of the con-
tracing governments, 1t may be that
changes in the compact will be deemed de-
sirable.

II is calculated that there will be be-
tween 100000 and 100000 young men,
who will cast their first presidential votes
next November. There win be 100000 OF
these maiden" ballots in Illinois, and APP
proximately as many In Indiana and Ohio.
In these three states especial efforts are
10 be mode by each party TO secure these
votes. The Republicans, il is said, will
employ brass bands, torch light process
sions and other spectacular features.
while the Democrats will depend chiefly
upon an appeal to reason.
The Savannah morning news., 1900-08-02

The Democrats of Kentucky are going
TO spike the anti-Goebel-law guns of the
Republicans. The Republicans have made
the amendment of the election law the
paramount issue of the campaign. The
Democrats will hold an extra session of
the Legislature and change the law so
that there can be no objection to it. This
will be done long in advance of the cleo
ton, so that the Republicans will be de-
prived of what they consider their biggest
and best issue

Senator Wellington of Maryland, an
nounces that he is unalterably opposed to
Mckinney, and will do what he can 20 de-
feat him. He is against Mckinley be-
cause he stands for Imperialism, and has
deceived me in national affairs" The
Senator declares that he has never been
a negative quality in politics, and will
not be this year; which means. presuma-
bly,, that he will support Bryan. yelling
ton and German pulling together will be
a sight worth seeing.
The Savannah morning news., 1900-08-02

The story that ex-speaker Reed has been
blacklisted by the administration does not
tally with that other story that Joe Man
ley has officially invited him 10 speak for
Mckinley during the campaign. The lat
ter is probably the true narrative.

in the reports of the trial of Caleb Pow
ers at Georgetown, KY. The mass of the
testimony given so far has tended to show
that Gov. Taylor was about as much i'm
plicated in the assassinati ton of Goebel as

been protecting ex-Gov. Taylor on the as

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk Landmark Dem) says:
Gen. Matt W Ransom, perhaps the big
gest man in North Carolina, was driven
into retirement because he would not
change his views in 1896 10 suit Tillman
and Altgeld. Now he is throwing him
self into the great campaign for white
supremacy In his state with as much Wig
or if he had never been sighted by the
constituency which he served so long and
so well. The fine old fellow has always
shown himself ready to help his people
when they needed him. He is a statesman
not a peanut politician. One man like him
were worth more TO a community In Con-
gress than a score of puppets who are
habitually immaculate in their party reg
ularity.'"

peror's appeal for mediation il is stated
that of the foreign commerce of China

by efforts 10 cultivate the friendship of
China, but by two wars and a refusal to
submit TO the smallest discourtesy. II is
the English doctrine that force only can
make the Chinese even tolerably decent"
The Chicago Chronicle Dem) says:

The New York Supreme Court has de-
cided that a person may recover damages
for the unauthorized use of said person S
portrait for advertising purposes. A man
ufacturing company had been using the
picture of a pretty young woman of
Rochester on some of its packages. She
objected, but the company claimed that
she had no property right in her own ror-
trait The matter was taken into court,
and the lower court sustained the conten-
ton of the company. The case was APP
pealed. The Supreme Court holds that the
young womans right of privacy has been
invaded, and that she is entitled to dam
ages. The decision draws the line sharply
between those public persons whose pic
lures and lives are rightfully public prop
erty, and private citizens, such as the
young woman complainant, to whom pub
licity would bring embarrassment and un-
pleasant notoriety.

THE HILL AND CROKER FEUD.

The accounts in the New York news
papers of the efforts of Senator Jones,
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee. to make peace between ex-
Senator Hill and Mr.. Croker are decid-
eddy interesting, but rather indefinite.
According to these accounts Mr.. Jones
is very well satisfied with what he has
accomplished He says that Mr.. Hill
and Mr. Croker will work together for
the success of the ticket.
No doubt they will work for the sue
cess of the ticket, but it is doubtful if
they will work together. Each will work
in his own way, and that way will be to
defeat each others plans for accomplish
ing personal ends.
1t is doubtful if Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Crok-
er will ever again pull together in double
harness. They hate each other too bit
terly. Each is an able man and each
wants to dominate. AS between the two
1t is probable that Mr.. Hill is prepared TO
make greater sacrifices for the success
of the national party than Mr.. Croker.
The impression is abroad that Mr.. Crok-
Tammany. This impression may do him
an injustice, yet there is much apparent
~ that confirms it.
But what difference does 1t make
whether Mr. Hill and Mr.. Croker are rec
oncifed or not Because of the quarrel
between these two leaders Democrats Of
New York are not going to remain away
from the polls. 1t is doubtful if the an
nouncement that they had settled all of
their differences were made thousand
votes would be affected one way or the
other. Let them continue their feud if
that they will be held responsible If they
sacrifice the welfare of the party in any
way in their efforts 10 injure each other.

Colorado and Kansas Irrigation
Interests Clash.
The Flow of the Arkansas River the Bone
'of Contention HydroGrapher Newell,
of the Geological Survey, Talks inter
estingly.
Especial to The virgInian-Piiot.)


Washington. d. c., May 19.-After
years of threatening the Supreme Court
of the United States is to be asked to
decide the case of Kansas against Colo
RADIO in the matter of the diversions of
the Arkansas river in the latter State.
This river in Kansas flows through
some thirteen counties, forming a val
ley of 100000 acres. almost as rich as
the Valley of the Nile. The claim made
Is that Colorado has diverted so much
of the water of the river as to seriously
damage Kansas farmers
Commenting upon this litigation be-
tween the two States. Mr.. T. H. Newell.
having charge Of the irrigation survey
ings of the Geological Survey. made
some interesting remarks.
That trouble would sooner or later
ensue." Mr.. Newell said. between
these two States over water rights, has
been for long time evident to people
familiar with the conditions affecting
them. a number of years ago the
geological survey undertook some i'm
PORTRAIT surveys Of Colorado with a view
to determining the perennial water
supply of its rivers and its capacity for
water storage. The rivers heading in
| and the sites available for reservoiring
the flood waters of these streams are
very numerous. Our work enabled us
| to locate and survey n large number
of such sites. but there are hundreds
of others. Although right in the midst
of the work of making these surveys
We were cut off through lack of appro-
| priation.
COSTLY LITIGATION.
Very expensive litigation is likely to
| result from this attempt of Kansas to
compel Colorado to stop using water
| and think when they get through with
| II they Will be just about where they
| are to-day. / cannot but think that II
| this expense could be devoted to the
| continuation of the work upon which
the government surveyors were en-
gagged some years ago. q definite knowl-
edge would be obtained as to the posi-
bllties of supplying both States with a
water supply on a business basis.

through these States We're properly
