SHOULD BE THE PEOPLES REP
REsENTATIVE.

A man who holds Office by vote of
the people, certainly places himself in
a very questionable attitude when he
puts himself on record as opposing
measure which puts the responsibility
for the good government of a city in the
haads of the people.
Has a representative the right to
refuse to introduce feasible bill in
the legislature which is presented to
him by the officials of city, who are
supposed to represent the interests of
majority of the people? His personal
desires and selfish interests should
not control him if he has accepted a
trust at the hands of these same people
who seek favors at his hands.
II ia non democratic for him to
ignore any appeal from the people. 1t
is incumbent upon him to prove that
such bill is not democratic, and a
man who is elected by a people to an
office should not be afraid to introduce
bill in the Georgia legislature which
virtually affects every citizen of the
city of Americas, and which, should
the same be defeated or carried
through. would not materially effect
him personally but would certainly af-
feet the citizens of Americas in their
exercise of their privilege of self gov
eminent aud selection of admiristra-
tors of the law.
This article is respectfully referred1to
the careful consideration of the Hon
W. T, Lane, who is the representative
eff Americas aud one of the representa-
tives of Sumter county in the legis
lalure.

RICHARD NOT A CROAKER.

The causes that defeated Tammany
are many, and perhaps Obvious But
whatever they were, Mr. Croker would
not STOP to argue them. He simply
said ''The people wanted a change,
and if they are satisfied with the situa-
tion hope that they will not have rea-
son to regret the change" Whatever
the "tlger" might have been he did
not whine when brought to the dust.
He was submissive TO the popular will
This is the true spirit of the Demo
cracy of the fathers. It can bear re-
reVerses and defeats, knows when it Is
whipped and has no apologies to Offer
in the presence of the sovereign Will.
Nobody need be ashamed to read a
sermon from even Squire" Croker
on the basic principles of Democracy.
Msjorities may err, but having based
our institutions on the popular will the
people should lean to PIT implicit faith
in it. The Republicans have never
quite learned that yet.
Mr.. Croker is no croaker.

Admiral Schley isn't laundering to
pose before the public as a lecturer nor
to put money in his purse that way,
although he isn't loaded down with
lucre. A lecture manager called on
him few days ago and offered him
s., 900 each for ten lectures, to be de-
livered in principal cities. His reply
was that when this court business was
over, if any one mentions the Santiago
campaign TO him, he Will throw him
down stairs if there be stairs nearby,
and if not he will be tempted to shoot
him.

The reports indicate that poor old Ii
Hung Chang virtually died in the grip
of the great Russian Bear, fury at the
demands of the Russian minister in
connection with the Manchurian treaty
having brought on the paroxysm that
resulted in his death. Minister Wa has
been recalled and offered a subordinate
post connected with the Chinese gov
eminent. bis recall is said to have been
the result of suspicion aroused by his
popularity in America. This occurred
before the death of the aged Chinese
sta esman. In spite of the fact that he
is now under suspicion Minister WI
may now receive something better than
a subordinate post He is clever dip
lomat, and clever one is needed to
take up the interminable tussle with

Here is the way the Atchison Globe
gets the news from down South;
"When there is race riot down South
we hear at first that three white men
and twelve negroes were killed. The
next day we hear that one white man
and twenty negroes were killed. The
next day reliable news comes, and we
hear that one man was slightly wound
ed and thirty-three negoes killed.
This does not include the seven or
eight who crawled off in the woods and
died of their wounds" IF the Globe
man is q good shot he should attend
one of those killings It is more ex-
citing than destroying property or
shooting women in Kansas

BLACK EYE .ARTISTS.
They Do Thriving Business In
+, Our Large Cities.
DjseSaOred Optics Repaired 'whfls
thS Customer Waits strange
Profession That Cal4s for Much
skill and Discretion.

"The men who fail in literature and
art become critics." said the late Lord
Beaconsheld in one of his splentic
moods. There is truth. in the saying,
especially where literary men are
concerned; but men who fail in art
can sometimes find a more lucrative
profession than that Of ,criticising the
works of their former brethren of the
brush, says a Philadelphia paper.
There are at least two men in Phila-
delphia-both of whom at one time
hoped TO gain recognition as artists
who earn very fair living by restor-
ing black eyes and bruised faces to
their natural color. Both men have
studios and do more or,less cheap pot
boiling for the picture dealers, but
their prinCipal source of income is de-
rived from professional boxers and
from imen who have been beaten in
someschance harroom scrap.
Their clients or PATIENTS are sorry
looking lot when they assemble in the
early morning to have their bruised
and battered faces restored to some
thing like a natural appearance. The
fast young man who has heard the
chimes of midnight is there awaiting
his turn: along with a; tough from a
waterside ward.
An ordinary black eye, such as the
fast young man carries. away with
him from his latest barroom scrap, is
easily managed, but the bruised and
battered face of an, earnest ."profes-
sionaI" after "A weil-con4ested set-to
requires very delicate manipulation
The .artist,who restores black eyes
to their natural color sets his palette
very Hch.as a portrait painterwould
do when expecting a sitter. But there
is wide difference between the hui
man skin and a prepared canvas, and
Q strong drying oil is usually mixed
with the colors intended to restore a
black eye or recover n bruised cheek.
When the artificial flesh tints are

nearly dry they are lightly powdered
with dry color. This deadens the gloss
OF the drying oil and gives q natural,
Aesh-like appearance TO the restored
face. Indeed, it would be impossible
for axayone who was not in the secret
TO detect -tAs imposture, SO cleverly is
the work done.
One dollar Is the fee charged for re-
storing a black eye, and, as the work
rarely occupies moro than half an hour,
the payment certainly compares very
fayorably with that received by a sue
cessful artist whose pictures find q
place on the walls of the Academy or
at the Art clubs exhibitions.
In the case of a badly battered face
several sittings may be required before
the patient is again able to face his
friends and society at large, and then
the artist in black eyes reaps a golden
harvest. very popular kid" who
was knocked out at a sparring exhibit
tion in New York, went to Philadel-
Ph1a for the express purpose of hav-
ing his face restored to something
like natural appearance, which was
a compliment to the art and artists
OF the Quaker city that seems to have
passed unnoticed.
For the complete restoration of this
gentleman slugger the fortunate ar
fist received the unusual fee of S25.
But the kid" was desperately in love
with a pretty chorus girl at the time
and thought nothing of the expense.
"It's a curious trade, sure enough"
said the most successful of the two
Philadeiphia resterers of black eyes,
''but have learned to like the work,
irrespective of the money return it
makes me. 1t enables one TO study hui
man nature, for one thing, and it is
full of curious surprises for another.
"Once a lady in full evening dress
came to me with badly blacked eve,
and the marks of a mans fingers still
distinctly showing on her bare throat.
She was in highly nervous condition.
and could scarcely control her voice
or keep back the tears when she tried
TO talk to me. She spoke vaguely of

Oppressed with care the earth grows dark

And evening comes with lingering breath

I'd like to go from the city's din
To the distant old farm places:
I'd like to look for a moment in
On the gentle, fair home faces;
i like TO see IL the passing days
With their restless marring fingers
Have spoiled the calm of the rustic ways
In the eit of home that fingers.
I'd know the way from the little town,
Past the hillsides and the valleys.
To the tiny house In the pasture brown,
Where the homesick toiIerraliies
10 know each step OF the paths that wind
Through the orchards, green and Eolden.
And reverently my way ia find
To the doorstep, gray and oTden.
Ano then, and then-as / waited there.

In scene SO sweet and holy7

with welcome true as ever!
