There is a German in Danville, ILL.,, who
has an English wife, and an Englishman
who has a German wife, says an exchange.
The four got into dispute the other day
on the South African war, and the list of
casualties was thus reported:
The German, stabbed three times with a
pitchfork, may die.
His English wife, badly bruised and
scratched.
The Englishman, badly beaten and
scratched.
His German wife, scratched and hair
torn out.
When the fight began the English wo-
man stood up for Tommy Atkins and the
German for the burghers. But as the bat
tie waged the English woman was found
on the side of her German husband and
the German woman fought beside her lord
and master on behalf of the Queen.

A Florida "E1ee.

Capt. William O'Connell of Columbus,
o., famous as a story teller and as a
veteran of the Civil War, having been
wounded eight times and twice left on the
field for dead, was the center of a group
at the Metropolitan last night, says the
Washington Post. Among his friends he
counts none Stancher than Congressman
r. w. Davis of Florida, himself veteran,
but on the Confederate side, and known
in his state as the silver tongued orator,
a title won on the hustings hong before the
silver question was heard of. Congress
man Davis, who, by the way, has just
persuaded Mr.. Bryan to make a tour OF
Florida was in the group, and they were
joking him about the superb abundance of
snakes, lizards, mosquitoes, and especial
ly feas in his state. Capt. OConnell had
just told of his experiences while the
Union army was camped in Florida, and
declared that he had never seen so many
f1eas in his life as he had found in that
campaign
"They are smaller than the Northern
flea ne said, "but for biting ability 1 will
back them against any gadfiy that ever

since improved the size of the breed"

THE STREETS IN THE SOUTHERN
SECTION.


The Morning News desires TO again call
attention to the advisablity of remaining.
or REMEMBERING rather, the streets south
of Anderson street In doing this it be-
lieves it reflects the wishes of nearly ev-
cry person who has given the matter a
moments thought unless, probably it is
the real estate owner who objects to
changing First, Second Third and so on,
to Thirty-frst, Thirty-second, Thirty
third, etc, because it will make his prop
erty appear to be far out! The plan of the
city shows that there are thirty streets
from Bay street to Anderson, inclusive
aud that the next street beyond the th;r-
tieth street is called First street. Could
anything be more incongruous than such a
system of numbering streets? 1t would be
a very near approach to idiocy to perpet-
uate this misnaming, and TO continue it in
the new streets beyond Twelfth Cor Forty
second, which will necessarily have to be
laid out before a great while. 1t Is just
as certain as anything in the future can
be that these streets are going to be cor
rectly remembered at some time. If the
present Board of Aldermen will not give
any attention to the matter. a future one
will 1t would be better, however, If the
change We're made now, as less confusion
would be caused. REMEMBERING the streets
would not put further out" by the mill
ionth part of an inch any piece of prop
erty but it would convey to strangers and
others q correct idea of the extent of the
city, and correct an error which al present
disputes the famous old saying that figures
cannot prevaricate.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd) says: "a
graduated income tax is class legislation
whether it exempts small incomes or not
1t divides the people into as many classes
as there are rates in the schedule. It en-
courages the indolent and puts penalty
on enterprise. 1t Furnishes Intelligence
and success. These fundamental facts be-
gan to dawn on some of the PopulStic
Democrats of South Carolina before their
pet law was six months old"
The Philadelphia Ledger, an independ-
ent Republican journal published in
great ship building city, says of the
Hanna-Payne ship subsidy bill ''There
is no excuse or defense available for press
ing this scandalous bill Under the guise
of aid for the merchant marine, II was de-
signed to take millions of the public money
as gift to rich and powerful corporations,
aud its effect would be to foster and per-
petuate monopoly"
The Norfolk Va.) Landmark says: "For
the week ending Feb. s bank clearings at
Norfolk showed an Increase of so per cent.
over those for the corresponding week of
1899. The clearings of the whole country
during the same week decreased per cent.
as compared with last year. Norfolk's
remarkable gain surpassed that of any
other American city except Savannah.
Keep your eye on Norfolk"

Molineux will to-day be sentenced to
death in the electric chair, and removed
from New York to Sing Sing and confined
in a cell for the condemned. 1t is believ-
ed that the appeal which will be made to
the higher court, and which will act as a
stay, cannot be heard earlier than next
December or January, owing TO the crowd
ed condition of the court. Thus the young
man has approximately a year of life
ahead of him, however the court may de-
eide on the appeal. An odd circumstance
in connection with the sentence which Is
impending is the fact that five years ago,
when Buchanan the poisoner was cleo
trocuted, young Molineux expressed a
preference for death by electricity If it
could be accomplished without disgrace
and infamy.

Lucky Thirteen.

The cracking of another bell at st. Paul. S
reminds me that there is quaint story
about Tom of Westminster, afterward,
removed to ST. Paurs, says a writer in the
New York Press. 1t came out when John
Hatfield died at the age of 102. He had
been sentry ON Windsor terrace, and
was tried by courtmartial on a charge of
having fallen asleep at midnight while on
duty. He solemnly averred that he not
only was not asleep, but had heard the
clock of ST. Paurs strike thirteen. The
court smiled at thissand sentenced him to
death. While under sentence an affidavit
was made by dozen or more persons
that the clock actually did strike thirteen
on the night in question: instead of twelve
and the King granted Hatfield a pardon.
This was in the reign of William and
Mary. Lucky thirteen!

The Philadelphia Record is urging the
merchants and Manufacturers of its city
to make efforts to secure the great and
rich trade which they m ght transact with
the South, if they would. The Record
puts the matter into a nutshell when It
says: Our merchants and manufacturers
wait for the trade to come to them. They
do not solicit custom, and in many in
stances are content to Indirectly sell their
goods in New York or elsewhere to the
Southern traders" Southern dealers and
consumers are very well disposed towards
Philadelphia goods, but the trouble is that
there is no direct and cheap freight COM
munication between Philadelphia and any
Southern distributing point. A line of
steamships to Savannah would fill the bill
We have here the best terminal facilities
on the South Atlantic, with systems of
railroads radiating in every direction,
making this port a most desirable distrib-
uting point Why do not the Philadel-
phia merchants and manufacturers, who
have an abundance of money for the en-
terprise, get together and put on a steam
ship line to Savannah? There is hardly
room for questioning that such a line
would be a success, if an active interest
were taken in it at the Philadelphia end.

1t is gratifying TO note that the floods
in the Georgia rivers are receding, and
that the danger of widespread damage is
virtually past. There have been losses, of
course, and the fact of them is to be re-
GREETED; but when it is reflected how
much greater the dangers would have
been had the rise continued for a few
days longer, the losses will be borne with
o minimum of complaining. Within week
or so, in all probability, the greater part
of the damage wrought will have been
repaired, and the mills and the trains

THE REPUBLICAN MEETING.

The organization Of the Republican
party in Hawaii, which will begin this
evening at the drillshed, should bring
out every man in Oahu who intends to
vote the Republican ticket and who can
manage to be on hand.
The meeting will be an historical
event and those who are present, with
their names on the roll, will be charter
members of the Republican party OF
the Hawaiian Islands. That ought to
be inducement enough to secure a full
turnout If 1t is not, the need of see
ing fair play and organizing the party
on broad and liberal lines, excluding
no Republican and admitting all to
equal responsibilities, should be suffi-
cient.
The Republicans will be asked to-
night to take action leading to the
ultimate choice of delegates to a Re-
publican Territorial Convention which
will send delegates to the National Re-
publican Convention and elect a mem
DCI VI TIE NdllOudl ItepuDllCdu COUl-
mittee. That is another reason why
the turnout should be large and repre-
sentative and why people should come
early.
The Advertiser accents the last-nam-
ed point-come early! For some rea-
son the projectors of the meeting have
not issued call for it specifying the
hour of assembly. Perhaps they will
do so in the papers of this afternoon,
although that is taking late action in
an important matter. We cannot be-
lieve that the hour is left indefinite so
as to enable any minority faction to
act in the name of the whole party be-
fore that party gets a chance to act
for itself. Nevertheless it is well to
take no chances. Republicans who
want to be in party politics from the
start should not permit themselves to
be caught mapping even in details of

might be used, he could not expect
preferment at the hands of an organi-
cation which draws the color line In
every State Of the Union.
The one thing politically needful for
Hawaii is close affiliation with the Re-
publican party. The goal Of every Isl
ander from this on is Statehood, but
who could hope to reach it without Re
publican help? The Democracy OPP
poses expansion partly on the ground
that it does not want the people of
Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines to share In the voting privileges
of American citizenship. That senti-
ment puts the Democracy in line OF
battle against Hawaii's strongest po-
litical aspirations and adjures our
people in the most persuasive terms to
cast their lot with progressive Repub-
licanism.
