NOT AN IMAGINARY INTERVIEW.

The Atlanta Journal comments edi-
torially on a dispatch from ouitman
to the Macon Telegraph, in which 1t
is stated that Capt. Henry G. Tur-
ner denies the correctness of the in
terview published in the Morning News
last Monday morning, giving Capt.
Turner's position relative to the guber-
material nomination The intimation in
the Journals article is that the inter-
view was an imaginary one.
The reputat ion of the Morning News
for truth and fair dealing is too well
established for any one of its readers
to believe that it would print an mag
mary interview with Capt Turner or
any one else for any purpose whatever.
The interview was obtained from Capt.
Turner by one of the ablest and most
conscientious newspaper men in the
state, who went to Quitman for the
purpose of having a talk with Capt.
Turner. 1t is certain that he did not
knowingly misrepresent what Capt.
Turner said. and it is certain that the
Morning News has not received from
Capt. Turner a denial of the correct
ness of the interview.
If Capt. Turner had felt that an in
justice had been done him it seems to
us that he would have requested
correction, either directly or through
his friends, knowing, as he does, that
the Morning News has always been
friendly to him. He ought to know,
and doubtless does know. that there is
no purpose on the part of the Morning
News to misrepresent him in any way.
1t seems to us that the Quitman peo-
pie feeling very proud of Capt. Turner
as one of their citizens and being anx-
ious that he shall be candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination interpret
Capt. Turner's recent card as a
definite announcement of his candi-
dacy, and that the correspondents who
sent out the dispatches which are the
subject of comment, did not under
stand the full scope and meaning of
Capt. Turner'S answer when they ask
ed him about the interview concerning
which there is a dispute.

MUSIC FOR THE POLICE.

Many Chicagoans have felt for long
time that the police force of their city
lacked something to make it ideal.
What is wanting has now been discov-
cred, and a movement is afoot to have
the deficiency supplied. The trouble
with the Chicago policemen is that they
do not sing and are not trained musi-
clans. This was set forth in resolu-
lions adopted by the International
Singing Society at a recent meeting,
and formerly brought to the attention
of Chief O'Neill with the recommended
ton that he take action with respect
to the matter.
There are many arguments and
barrel of quotations from famous au-
thors to sustain the position of the re-
formers. Upon occasions the Chicago
police have been accused of savagery,
in clubbing citizens, pulling the ears
of small boys and bastinadoing tramps
in the parks. But music hath charms
to soothe the savage breast" When
they have become vocalists and organ
lied themselves into quartettes, quin-
tettes and glee clubs the policemen will
become as gentle as cooling doves. Then
they can do the soothing stunt" upon
the DRINKS and disorderlies, the porch
climbers and the riotous citizens with
whom their business brings them into
contact. What a benefaction it would
be to the city,, and to the taxpayers,
to have the police sing the lawless ele-
ment into submission and an exalted
state of mind
1t might be we'll to make the music
test one of the conditions precedent to
the appointment of a new policeman
on the force, since we have it upon the
authority of no less a parsonage than
the late Mr.. Shakespeare, whom none
will dare dispute, that the man that
hath no music in himself nor is not
moved with the concord of sweet
sounds. is fit for treason, stratagems
and spoils." Such men are not the
proper persons to safeguard the public
life and property. Maybe 1t is because
they have not the singing test in New
York that there is so much talk of
bribery and corruption in police circles
lHeIS. ~ warn uelcCllNe Ol Ine name
of Bissert was convicted of bribery in
New York the other day. The scandal
might have been averted If Bissert had
been required to render the miserere in
Trovatore or the swan song in Lohen-
grin before receiving his shield.
In almost every police department
there is factionalism and petty politics.
That is because the policemen cannot
sing, "for there is music wherever there
is harmony, order or proportion" BY
inverse reasoning, there must be har-
mony. order and proportion wherever
there is music. Thus with the glee
clubs in good working order and the
soloists in perfect voice, life at the sta
ton house would be one grand. sweet
song.

Liquid Electricity,

While 81" trains were running and
roaring up Washington street the
other afternoon to the accompaniment
of rafting wagon wheels and the
clacking of iron-shod hoofs, a man
whose gait was somewhat unsteady
lounged around the corner of Waltham
street and braced himself against a
building, says the Boston Record. He
studied his surroundings for a time in
a disconnected way until the noisy pas
sage of train reused him. He looked
up and hailed a passer by. i've dis

of interest Before long I'll be IA

another question, and the man who is
to be famous replied; why, it's LIQUID
noise. 1 just discovered it, He re-
fused to say to what use he would put
his discovery" but from his walk as
he started in a zigzag course up the
street he apparently believed that COM
pared with himself the discoverer of

AT the opening of the Sheffield Press
Club recently the name of w. S. Pen
ley appeared on the toast list to re-
spond to the toast of Journalism and
the Arts" Mr.. Penley was finishing a
weeks engagement in the town, and
important business in London necessi-
tated his leaving Sheffield before his
toast came on. But the inimitable ac-
tor was equal to the occasion. He Wis
tied a scientific instrument dealer and
the result of his visit was heard later
on in the form of a charmingly quaint
little speech repeated from Mr.. PEN
ley's empty chair at the dinner table

Miss Edith Madison Ames, who has
recently been appointed by Gov. Yates

ment, Illinois National Guard, is only
10 years old, but has already developed
considerable political ability. She ac-

private car during the last campaign,
and he asserts that she won many
votes for him. Miss Ames was born
in Fort Wayne, Ind, going to East
Chicago six years ago. She was grad

All over the country newspapers are
recording the completion or the inau-
guration of projects designed to give
the people of municipalities amusement
and recreation. The awakening OF cities
to a realization of the fact that to give
pleasure to the people and to provide
for their legitimate recreation is one
of the functions OF municipal govern
ment, is one of the most gratifying
signs of the times. 1t shows that the
world is trending towards a higher
spiritual as well as material civiliza-
ton.

The action of the lodges Of the Anal
gamated Association in Chicago in re-
fusing to obey the order of President
Shaffer to strike, is generally commend
ed. The lodges place their declination
on the ground that they are under con-
tract to continue work, at the present
scale of wages and with the present
hours, for a year, and that they are in
honor bound to keen their agreement.
This seems to be not only the wise, but
the manly and honorable. thing for
them to have done. 1t will be an i'll
day for the American workman when
his solemn promise is no longer worth
anything.

Admiral schley need not worry over
the mention of his name in connection
with the presidency. The people who

miral Dewey.

Several train robberies in as many
parts of the country have recently oc-
Cured and on Wednesday last a single
masked robber held up the stage coach
that plies between North Creek and
Blue Mountain Lake. in New York. In
every case the robbers have been COM
pletely successful in effecting their pur-
pose. not one of the passengers or
crews of the trains having been able
to display sufficient nerve to oppose re-
sistance. At distance it is perhaps
difficult to criticize, but it does seem
that two or three hundred persons
ought to be able to handle two or three.
In one instant the outlaws were so
amused by the show of resistance that
was not made that they spent half an
hour which prudence dictated they
should use in making their escape, in
laughter at the exceeding goodness of
the joke.

Representatives of the New York
newspapers received a few days ago a
courteously worded invitation to at

time, and witness a horse whipping.
The invitations were anonymous, but
they impressed the city editors with

squad of reporters was on hand at the

came off. John Davis, a bartender,
was reported to have made some I'M
complimentary illusions to one of three
sisters and as he stepped out of his

on him with whips. They are said to
have carried out their part of the pro-
gramme with neatness and dispatch.
