Ltd Interest in Second.


There was no interest shown in the
election in the Second precinct. The
apathy was so marked that less than
10 per cent of the registered voters in
the fifteen districts exercised their right
of franchise by the middle of the after
noon. The utter indifference was due
TO the fact that the ticket bore but one
name. that of NJ. J. Cheesman, former
councilman and cashier of the Walker
Brothers bank. Two votes would have
sufficed to elect him. Up to
O'Clock less than 125 votes had been de-
posted in the four ballot boxes. At
sixty ballots. with poll No. 1 in the
rear, No. 3 next and No. 2 the second
highest.
The total vote cast was 1872, of which
one was for Colonel Samuel c.. Park
who was defeated at the primary, and
191 were for Mr.. Cheesman. At the
fifth ward school house twenty votes
were cast: at the Sixth ward school
house, fifty-six; at 445 West Second
South street. twenty-seven. and at so
West Third South, eighty-nine votes.
Eight Votes Against Newman.
In the Third precinct. although there
was no candidate named against Presi-
dent William J. Newman of the board
I -
against his record on the board and the
methods used to renominate him. These
eight voted for different persons, three
of them. evidently having heard that
Daniel Eyer represented the OPPOSE
ton to church influence in school cleo
| tons, voted for him, although he lives
in the First precinct. One vote was
cast for II. ]. Hamlin. two for It. O..
Pelmer, one for Ed Rich and one was
| blank In all 200 votes were cast, Of
which Newman received 252- The vote
was as follows at the various polling
/ places: Irving school house, Newman,
I 90; Hamlin, l. Relief Society hall, New
man, 100; scattering, Z. Jeremys salt
4 house, Newman 81
Light Voting in the Fourth.
The voting in the Fourth precinct was
/ unusually light and the day passed off
! without incident. The opposition which,
Z il had been whispered was to come at
the last moment, did not develop. Mr..
I YOung's friends held themselves in
readiness to get out and make it inter
esting if any attempt was sprung to de-
feat the regular nominee.
One vote was recorded in opposition
to Mr. Young This was cast for john
/ G. Sharp, who was defeated at the
primary. In all 2S3 votes were cast. AT
the Eighteenth ward school house 135
went for Young and for Sharp, and
at TaGgart's hall there were SO for
Young.
All For Henderson.
The election was wholly uneventful
In the Fifth precinct. Judge II. P
Henderson had an experience in pleas
ing contrast 10 the one he had two
years ago. Then he was defeated foI
reelection to the board by Joseph
Geogeghan in the Fourth precinct
Since then he moved into the Fifth. and
yesterday he enjoyed the distinction OF
being the Only nominee in the city who
went in without dissenting vote. Al
the Eleventh ward meeting house 13;
votes were cast for him, and in the
Thirteenth ward meeting house ITO
making total of 245 votes.

KEARNS GIVEN
THE LOUD HA-HA
Washington View of the Utah
Senatorial Situation.
UNHOLY ALLIANCE is BROKEN
CHANCE FOR SUTHERLAND TO
BUTT IN TWO YEARS HENCE.
SPECIAL to The Heraldl


WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec 3.-The
wv Washington Tines political
writer presents the following
view OF Utah's senatorial situation in
todax's issue:
Prom Utah comes the report that
the offensive and defensive alliance be-
tween Senator Kearns and Apostle
Reed SmOOt has been dissolved. The
returns from the recent election in the
state have convinced the Mormon
leader that he is strong enough 10 go
IL alone and he has informed the SER
atOr that ne VIII not require the as
slstance OF the Kearns machine in or
der to provide himself with credentials
to the United States senate
Equipped with a resourceful and
skilfuI press agent and an unlimited
bank account, Senator Kearns started
out in the late campaign to constitute
himself dictator in Utah politics and
sought to select his colleague in the
senate when the term Of Senator Raw
Inns, Democrat, shall have expired next
March.
magnanimous Tom.
After looking over the field, ne de-
clded that the tOga had best be pre-
scented to Apostle SnOOt. II was gem
orally accepted. and sentative
Sutherland, who had been bold enough
to entertain senatorial aspirations, was
told to take position in the rear, and
that. because Of his impertinence, he
could not even have a denomination for
congress. Senator Kearns generously
expressed the opinion that the Nor
mons were entitled to one senator from
the state.
His magnanimity was not, however,
without an Interior motive. He is
candidate TO succeed himself two years
hence, and, if a Gentle were to be
chosen now, il would greatly diminish
his chances. Furthermore, working
alliance with the head of the Mormon
church was left TO a press agent-a
thing most to be desired
Smoot the Whole Thing.
ION these lines the campaign was
fought and won, and now the senator
has cause to believe that the crime OF
ingratitude IS not alone confined to
national, but that il is also q charac-
teriStic Of individuals IN looking over
the rolls of Utah's legislators. A apostle
SmOOt finds ffty-tWO Republicans and
eleven Democrats, and of this number
1 forty are MOrmOns, thirty-five of whom
are Republicans, a clear majority and
sufficient 10 elect him regardless or
what Senator kearns may do. They
might still have been working in har-
mony and for mutual advantage but for
the IacI UnaI senator AeaEnS continued
to dictate, and with the necessary
votes in hand, Apostle SmOOt is in a
position TO disregard the commands OF
| his former ally, whose own seat may
| thus be placed in jeopardy.
George May Get In
Now that Kearns and SmOot have
practically parted company, there are
| Indications that the latter may take
/ Representative Sutherland into part
nership with him, and, Warwick-Iike,
make him senator two years hence, in
/ stead of Kearns. As the situation ap-
! pears, Apostle SmoOt is in authority.
/ and Senator kearns is losing his grip,
/ despits his press agent and other ac-

Joshua Expressed His opinion.

A story comes from Cambridge, Nd.
of an experience of the late Judge
Goldsborough, of that town, with one
Joshua Davis, who was much given TO
profane language, says the Baltimore
Sun. The judge was severely averse
to profanity, and there was much curl
osity to see what would happen one
day when Joshua was called to the
witness stand in court. In accordance
with almost understandable habit
Joshua began his testimony with u
particularly fierce and sulphuric oath.
Stop" Numbered the judge. You
are fined IS for contempt of court
Joshua paid the money and resumed
By extraordinary effort he succeeded
in delivering several unobjectionable
sentences, but, warming up to his SUBJ
ject. he relapsed into his usual vocabu-
larry.
Again did the judge impose a fine.
Now, flaming with wrath, Joshua
asked.
Judge, can you fine me for think
ing in court?"
why, no; of course, not!' was the
answer.
well. then" said Joshua. ct think

THE BRIDGE BILL.

The Hutchinson Island bridge bill
passed the Senate yesterday. 1t had
previously passed the House, and there
is no doubt that the President will
sign it.
The question which now presents it,
self is the kind of a bridge that will
meet the approval of the War Depart
ment and be satisfactory to the peo-
pie of this city and to the Georgia
and Alabama Terminal Company. 1t
will no doubt take considerable time
to settle this question, for the reason
that it is likely that the views of the
various parties interested will be
radically different.
Those who read the interview with
Representative Lester published in the
Morning News yesterday, doubtless no
ticed that in his opinion the War De-
partment will not permit piers to be
placed in the river. If that opinion
is correct some such bridge as that
which is being constructed at Duluth,
description of which was published
in Sundays Morning News, will have
to be adopted. And yet bridge OF
that sort would not be a very great
improvement over a ferry boat, though
it might cost considerably less to oper-
ate 1t.
Piers in the river, Col. Lester seems
to think, would interfere with the com
merce of the port to such an extent
that there would be very general OBJ
| lection to them, and as the bridge COM
pany might be required to remove them
if they INSTRUCTED the navigation of
the river it would hesitate to build
bridge requiring them.
Nothing of course will be done in
the matter without the most careful
consideration. Doubtless during the
next few weeks there will be many
suggestions relative to the bridge Of
fered for the terminal company's con-
sideration.

ATLANrA's REFoRMAroRY ISSUES

In Fulton county there are issues of
the reformatory matter which have
not been settled yet The county has
a reformatory which is called an in
dustrial farm. Under a special act Of
the legislature the courts which have
jurisdiction over the county have the
right to sentence youthful offenders
against the laws, to this farm until
they are 81 years of age.
The city of Atlanta wants to send
boys directly from the Recorders court
to the industrial farm. To this the
county authorities object unless the
city will pay its pro rata of the ex-
pense of maintaining the farm. 1t is
claimed that it would be a great hard
ship on the county tax payers outside
of the city to be taxed for the support
of the boys sent to the farm from the
Recorders court. There is some force
in this position, but, after all, is 1t not
the fact that eight-tenths of the taxes
of the county are paid by residents of
the city?
If reformatory or industrial farm
should be established in this county
a like question would, in all probability,
be raised. In this county, to a much
greater extent than in Fulton, the
taxes of the county are paid by resi-
dents of the city. So great a proper
ton of the taxable property of the
county is in the city limits that no
interest would suffer very greatly If
there were but one government and
one set of officers for the county and
city. There would certainly be a con-
siderable saving effected by merging
the offices of the two corporations.
Other objections raised in Fulton
county to receiving boys at the reform
atory from the Recorders court are
that the Recorder can sentence for
only 80 days. and that there is
danger that boys guilty of no offense
whatever against the laws would be
deprived of their liberty-that boys
would be sent to the reformatory sim
ply for some disobedience of parental
authority or some act of mischief.
1t is not desirable of course to have
boys in the reformatory for only a few
days, but it would be an easy matter
TO haye the law amended so that boys
could be sentenced by the Recorder
for as long terms as they are by the
judge of the city court. The other
objection could be met in like way,
namely by legislative action, prohibit
ing boys being sentenced to the re-
formatory except for offenses against
the laws. 1t seems that in Fulton
county the questions at issue are to be
submitted to the voters of the county
at either the primary on April 10 or
the one on June 5.

The native cemetery which Cecil
Rhodes had laid out in Rhodesia was
typical Rhodesian enterprise. 1t was
model cemetery in every sense of
the word but one-it had no occu-
pants. The Kaffir widow would not
bury her husband in it and the Kafir
husband refused to allow his dead
wife or children to be laid to rest in
gaudy new place rallied round with
an iron fence. They were Boer enough
TO be conservative, not to say obsti-
nate. and they carried their dead to
the neglected and unbeautiful bury
ing ground that Cecil Rhodes consid-
cred menace to public health and a
, blot on the beauty of the landscape
The invncible Mr.. Rhodes pride was
hurt. He worshiped success and alb
horred failure, even when it came to
filling cemetery. He swore that he
would not turn it into public park,
as his friends advised him to do A
cemetery he had laid out and a Gem
etery il should be.
One day, says the New York Com
mercfal- fate sent a Door
Kaffir widow to him. Her husband
had been in Cecil Rhodes employ.
Would she allow her late nege to be
inferred at his former masters ex-
pense? She was poor, her preiudices
were not insurmountable, She was
thrifty, Mr.. Rhodes was kind. In a
grewsome way she set the fashion.
The ice was broken, the first grave
filled. A bonus was offered to those
who would bring their dead to the
new cemtery. The fiowery place is as
populous now as it's enterprising build
er could possibly have wished, and
those who do not die in battle in
South Africa can sleep in a garden
of beauty.

While the late Judge Thurman of
Ohio was in Congress. his wife, leav-
ing for a visit to friends, exacted from
the judge a promise that he would be
a "teetotaler" during her absence. says

of Mrs. Thurman's return the judge
stopped in the dining room before GO
ing to welcome her to take a dron
of that from which he had abstained
during her absence. While in the
act of pouring whisky into his glass he
heard Mrs. Thurman pattering down
the stairs. Quickly putting his left
hand, which he held the glass, behind
him, with his right hand extended he
said. I'm glad to see you home. my

ooLoMnIA,s PRorocoL.

Colombia is very anxious that the
United States shall purchase the Pan
anna canal property. Her minister at
Washington notified the State Depart
ment on Monday that she had con-
coded all the rights they desired for
the control of the canal in the event
of their purchasing it. For the rights
of way and other concessions she
wants $4,000 a year. That would not
be an excessive amount, provided the
earning capacity of the canal should
prove to be as great as some of the ad-
vocates of the Panama route think it
would be.
1t is probable, however. that if the
United States should purchase the Pan
anna canal property they would not
agree to pay Colombia fixed annual
sum for the rights of way. They would
arrange to pay her a percentage of
the gross receipts. AS Colombia stands
no chance of getting anything from
any other country for her canal inter-
ests she would doubtless accept what
ever the United States were willing to
give her.
All the obstacles in the way of the
sale of the Panama canal property to
the United States have not yet been
removed. The French Company offers
to sell, and has fixed it's price, and the
Colombian government has said that
the company may sell and has stated
the consideration it desires for the
rights of way, but Senator Morgan,
chairman of the Committee on Inter-
Oceanic Canals, says that the French
Company cannot convey title to the
canal property-that if the United
States should become the purchaser
of the property they would purchase a.
lawsuit, which might last a generation
and bring about unpleasant complica-
tions with France.
1t looks now as if there would be
no canal legislation at this session of
Congress. At the beginning of the
session there were good reasons for
thinking a canal bill would be passed
soon after the holidays. The enemies
of a canal across the isthmus, how
ever, have succeeded in so complicating
matters pertaining to the canal routes
that it would not be surprising If canal
legislation should go over to the next
Congress.

French and a German wine com
pany are at war over the wine that
was used in christening the Kaiser's

made possible. 1t argues nothing of
the quality of the wine, of course, that
ii was spilled against the side of a YES

wine that has been recognized in any

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post (Dem.) says:
$50 James K. Jones has been beaten
in Arkansas and will henceforth be
known no more in the Senate. He goes
into the class with Bryan, whose cause
he led to defeat in two disastrous cam
paigns. Things seem to be coming the
way of the Democrats in reality"
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
(Dem) is not pleased with the lead
ership Of the Hon. James d. Richard
son. 1t says: "In voting with the Re-
publican members of the Ways and
Means Committee in favor of report
ing the Payne bill to the House of
Representatives the Hon. James d.
Richardson of Tennessee has once
more demonstrated that his career of
usefulness as a Democratic leader in
the lower branch of the National Leg
islature is emphatically ended.
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd) says: There may or may not
be great significance in the choice of
Representative Griggs Of Georgia as
chairman of the Democratic congress
sional committee. At any rate, it was
regarded as a victory for the anti
Bryan reorganizers of the Democratic
party when. few days ago, the sup
porters of Griggs were reported to
have suffered a reverse in the Demo-
cratic caucus. The Washington CORE
spondent of the New York Tribune
then sent on a long dispatch showing
that in Griggs's defeat the way had
probably been opened for the choice
of German or ex-Congressman Cable
of Illinois or some other Democrat
identified with the conservative fac
tion. and a conduct of the congression-
al campaign beyond the control of the
Bryanites. II would seem, therefore,
that this is not to be so.''
