4 PEOPLES rRIRIrn

Rarely has a more touching instance of
sympathy and respect for an individual
been presented to view than is furnish
ed at the present time in the case of the
lamented illness of Senator Davis In
every rank and station the people of the
entire state, without regard to differences
of opinion in any behalf, are profoundly
concerned in each report which comes
from the sick room of the senator, and
their unuttered prayers go up for his
speedy recovery. 1t is certainly an af-
fecting testimonial to the splendid quail
ties alike of head and heart which have
ever distinguished Senator Davis. When
it comes to any man to compass in so
large a measure the love and reverence
of the people whom he has been idend-
life, there is surely realized all of the
compensation which may be personally
expected for the sacrifices which are nee
essary to the man who consecrate him
self, as Senator Davis has done, to the
welfare of his state and nation.
While studying with increasing inter
est each succeeding day the reports of
the condition of Senator Davis, his fell
low citizens and friends have continued
and still continue to hope that his pres
ent illness may pass away, and that he
may long be saved to his family, his
friends ana his countrymen. The signal
services which he has had it in his power
to render to the people and the splen-
did qualities Of craftsmanship which he
has revealed in the high post in the pub
lie service which he has occupied, have
called the attention of the nation to him
i'll this moment of suffering, and from
one end of the continent to the other he
is recognized as one Of the men Whom
the country can least afford to lose
from its service.
Eut. apart entirely from the eminence
which Senator Devils has achieved and the
high estimation in which he is held and
from the national concern which exists
as to the outcome of his present aiIment,
there exists in the breasts of his neigh
bors and friends, of those who know the
private gentleman and have been able to
observe the public servant at close range,
a feeling of personal devotion and d
sense of personal grief and loss at the
unhappy circumstances of his illness.
Deep as the concern of his fellow
Americans in other sections of the coun-
! try may be for the welfare and health of
+ Cushman X. Davis, it is utterly made
quate to express the feelings with which
/ his present situation is regarded by those
who have been in intimate personal
touch with him throughout his life here
in the city and who love him for the
! beauties of personal character of which
! the outside world can know but little.

THINGS TO BE "DRcPPED. :,

Thomas c. Catchings has represented
a Mississippi district in congress for nine
terms, and was reelected Nov. 6. He is
ffty-three years old, and served as a
private in the Confederate army He is
a Democrat of the most pronounced type,
but does not pat himself on the back
and make any claims about it.
Various opinions have been expressed
as to the future of the Democrats party,
and what it must do to be saved" but
no one has uttered more definite ideas
upon the subject than Mr. Catchings in
the following outline:
Drop free silver. drop fusionism, drop
the cry of government by injunction,
drop the cry or Imperialism and mill
tarism, drop all discussion about the
Philippines until peace has been restored
drop appeals to the passions and preju-
diceS of the idle and disconnected.
Revive the question of taxation. teach
the Democratic doctrine that people can
not be made rich by taxing them, assaiI
the favoritism and wrongs of a high
protective tariff. stand for the control
of trusts and combines by methods not
oppressive, demand enlargement of the
powers of the interstate commerce COM
mission and the liberal Improvement of
harbOTs, and insist on local Self-govern-
ment and let the next presidential can
didate remain at home during the cam
paiSn.
The Democratic party has been de-
feated nationally in two campaigns, and
to gain the confidence of the people the
issues must assume a more healthfuI
form.

New York Sun
Mark Twain was the guest of the New
York Press club last night at its rooms
in the Morton building. Mr. Clemens was
led to a platform early in the evening,
and was addressed by representa- tives Of
the club. When the spirit moved him
he made reply. He said all he had to
say in his usual humorous manner. bur
he at times drifted so near to serious
and tragic truths that ce7tain individuals
in his audience did not seem to see
the full humorous effect of what he
was saying. Col. William L. Brown, the
former editor of the Daily News, as
president of the club, introduced Mr.
Clemens as the principal ornament of
American literature.

turn.

The people of the city may We'll con-
graduate themselves on the action of the
conference committee in including in the
tax levy the amount necessary for the
extension and support of the baths on
Harriet island
The 10 b has so frequently and
freely expressed its admiration of the
energy and devotion of DR.. Ohage in
instituting this splendid public facility
and has so urgently pressed upon city au-
thority from time to time the advisable
ity of devoting the necessary funds 20
the purpose Of the baths that there is
little further to be said in that behalf
The high appreciation which the public
entertain of the work done in their be-
half in the establishment of the free
baths has been expressed in a great
variety of ways. 1t would have been a
very discreditable circumstance had the
city failed to show it's apprecia ton of the
work done in the establishment of the
baths in the only way which the city
could manifest that appreciation With
the concurrence of the council in the
action thus wisely taken, the mass of
the people viii have made complete a
service of the highest value rendered
them mostly through the public devotion
Of DR.. Ohage and the few men to whom
he looked successfully for sustainment
in the early stages of the undertaking.
Another action taken through the
friendly cooperation of the conference
committee which merits and will receive
the public approval without hesitation or
qualification, is the transfer of the work
OF collecting the city garbage from the
city engineers department to the depart
ment of health. The offer made by Dr.
Ohage to superintend that work under
the direction of the city engineer, if
necessary left no doubt, if any could
under any conceivable circumstances
exist, of the entire disinterestednes and
public spirit of the head of the health
department in urging on the city engineer
the action which has been happily taken.
The city engineer is entitled to the
thanks of the community for acceding to
plain public demand. 1t would perhaps
have been better had no objection Len
raised to the allowance of the entire $25,-
coo, especially since the health depart
ment had shown its unwillingness to
reach even the limit of the appropria ton
| last year when the circumstances did
not demand it; but that is at best a
trivial circumstance, and one which will
not be seriously regarded in the trans
action.
1t is difficult under the most
favorable conditions to secure the
acceptance in public transactions
of those rules of conduct which
look singly toward the promotion
of the public interest. In both of the
transactions mentioned, all exraneous
influences We're disroCarded, and the
moneys expended will be devoted with
certainty to the actual doing of the work
which remains to be done. The returns
which will be received from both of those
expenditures will more than justify the
action which the conference committee
and the city engineer have taken.

SMART SHORT STORIES.

On the occasion of reception to Hen
ry Clay by his Baltimore admirers, a
trip down Chesapeake Bay was given.
and on the return trip a game of etrchre
was arranged. AS Clay was a noted play
er at all games of cards, two of the
most skillful players were selected to
compete against him, and the local card
champion, Billy Bryson, who simply
wOrshiped Clay had the honor of being
his partner But poor Billy was so over
come that he became entirely bewildered
and made the most absurd and unac-
countable errors. Clay's temper rose rap
idly and he rallied at Bryson in good set
terms. Finally the unfortunate man
brought to bay, replied: by CAD, sir, if
you were old Billy Bryson and had the
great Henry Clay for a partner, sir
think you should be excused for failing
to note the difference between a king Of
trumps and the right bower" The in
voluntary compliment so pleased Clay
that he shouted with laughter and was
ever afterward a warm friend of Bry-
