Jim" Parker's halo of glory has
faded AS the Atlanta Constitution
notes, when the roll of witnesses was
called in the Buffalo courtroom, his
name was not there. When the wit
nesses on the stand were questioned,
they had no knowledge of the gallant
colored man. He had been telling
such hair-raising stories of his own
heroism, how he had throttled the viii
lain and prevented the firing of an
other shot at the President, that it
was thought he would be one of the
central figures in the trial. But when
the test came, Parker was not in sight.
THE only sure-enough thing about
Jim" says the Constitution, ''is that
he registers from Atlanta" There can
be no doubt about that. He carries
the trademark of that city. If he
were a bottle Atlanta's name would be
blown in the glass. He is imbued with
the characteristic Atlanta spirit, of
which a wit has said, 1T is h on
dress parade, but not present in the
engagement"

CAPT. nARR,s TACTICS.


Capt Barr of the Columbia is in dam
ger of getting himself disliked by Capt.
Seymour of Shamrock III and that
yachts hackers. 1t seems that the folks
on the English boat don't like the tao
tics of the Yankee captain. He is a
| regular sea jockey-the best one per-
haps in the business. 1t has been
limited that those interested in the Con-
! stitution did not like him--that is, they
did not like his methods. II the truth
were known it might appear that the
Constitution was jockeyed out of the
honor of being the cup defender.
There is no doubt that the Columbia
was handled with remarkable skin In
the trial races between the Columbia
and the Constitution. The Constitution
had a good captain, but he was not
as quick to take advantage of all the
opportunities for getting the better of
his opponent as Capt. Barr. That was
apparent to the most careless reader
of the reports of the trial races.
And now the English folks think the
Columbia crowded the Shamrock too
much at the start on Thursday, and
they have let it be known that they
don't intend to stand anything Of that
sort. They say that such tactics as
Capt. Barr used to get advantages
ers. and that if they are repeated
there will be trouble.
1t would be regrettable If there
should be trouble-if anything should
occur indicating the existence of bad
feeling between the captains and crews
of the two yachts or between the men,
bers of the clubs interested in them.
There is no reason why there should
be any trouble. These contests for
Americas cup have been going on for
many years, and always the most kind
ly feeling has prevailed.
If Capt. Barr has exceeded the limits
of legitimate seamanship in handling
the Columbia,-if he has violated any
racing regulations-he ought to be
"called down." but it must not be as
sumed that he has done anything un-
sportsmanlike simply because his OPP
ponent finds fault. The Shamrock's
captain apparently was outgeneraled on
Thursday, and it seemed from the per-
formances of the yachts that the CO.
lumbia was the better boat. Naturally
therefore the captain of the Shamrock
and the Shamrock's folks are not in
as amiable a frame of mind as they
would be if their craft had shown TO
better advantage in the little that was
done in the first attempt at a race.
But if Capt. Barr was clearly within
his rights the talk of trouble comes
with bad grace from the Shamrock's
captain and his English friends. Such
talk will not have the effect of caus-
ing Capt. Barr to change his tactics
in the least.
Before Thursdays sailing match it
was thought by many who had seen
the two boats that the English boat
had a pretty good chance to win. The
number who held that opinion after
Thursday was much less. Doubtless,
the little irritation respecting Capt.
Bars tactics was due to the failure of
Shamrock II to increase the number of
her friends and admirers by her per-
Torrance on Thursday. The result of
to-day's race is awaited with even
more interest than was felt in the race
set for Thursday.

The suggestions for a memorial to
the late President Mckinley are almost
as varied as they are numerous. One
person wishes to see erected a memo
rial arch in his honor. Another sug-
gests that tablet bearing his words
respecting federal care Of Confederate
graves be attached 20 every confed-
crate monument. Another idea is that
the Temple OF Music at Buffalo be per-
petuated as a memorial to Mckinley
and the tragedy that ended his life.
sull another is that a Hall of Mar
tyrs" be constructed I'm connection
with the Memorial Bridge that is to
span the Potomac at Washington, and
that busts Of Lincoln. Garfield and Nc
Kinley be placed therein. One great
objection TO this plan is that neither

Harvey Scott died at Faribault,
Mimi, recently, leaving a will which
directed that his fortune of $4S,5O0 in
cash should be burned up. as he did
not wish any of his relatives to get il.
The will was contested, and the court
has decided in favor of the relatives.
The money will not be burned in ac-
cordance with the terms of the will,
but the chances are that the relatives
will begin to light little bonfires with
it as soon as it comes into their pos
session.

A meeting of negroes in Birmingham
the other day passed a resolution coun-
selling a wholesale emigration of col
ored people from Alabama in the event
of the DISTINGUISHING clause of the new
constitution being upheld by the courts.
OF course the resolution will amount
to nothing There will be no emigra-
ton. The Alabama negroes will re-
main where they are, because it is
their home and they feel it is the best
place for them. They know there is
a lot in life besides politics, and that
they VIII have a better government
without the franchise than they would
have if they were in political control
of the state. Agitators may succeed
in making a few of the Alabama ne
groes disconnected. but the number
will not be large enough to amount to
anything,

The Jacksonville Times Union and
Citizen says: Those who gave Par
ker SIS apiece for his buttons on the
faith of his statement that he had
saved the President from the third
shot. will know more since reading the
testimony at the trial, while yet other
some will again cry aloud at the preju-
dice which denies every virtue in a
negro. You cannot convince every man
against his interest, and Parker will
continue a hero in dark corners"
The Washington Post says while
the Mayor of Atlanta fiddled over the
street railway ordinances the rival
companies effected a consolidation and
the city has lost all the benefits 1t ex-
pected to derive. A fiddling executive
officer is an expensive luxury"
