coded to be the causes for the defeat Of

NEW YORK IS FAR

during the second week I'm March, passed
the same bill and II now awaits the sig
nature of the governor to become law.
In 1886 Hon. W. H. Fleming introduced
a similar resolution I'm the house of rep
resentatives to give Georgia women this
right. but IL was defeated. Mr.. Fleming
thinks this is one thing that the women OF
Georgia should work for. 1t is a matter

CITIZEN OF MONROE
WRITES ABOUT POLITICS

This county, in the heart of middle Geor-
gia. is usually a good pace-maker in poll
tics for many other counties in this por-
ton OF the state We do not say as Mon
roe goes so goes the state, but middle
Georgia people think very much alike.
In the governors race Mr.. Query has
many. friends and Supporters in this coun-
ty. but, the opinion prevails that Terrell
will carry Monroe.
Hon. o. b.. stevens is our choice for
commissioner of agriculture. We are d.
vided on the state school commissioner,
but Monroe is conservative and Will prob
ably endorse the present incumbent.
Locally the warmest race is for clerk Of
superior court. The present incumbent
is Cyrus H. Sharp, a gallant Con-
federate soldier, who left an arm
on the bloody field of Sharpsburg.
He is being opposed by another Con-
federate veteran and also by gal
liant young man., But in addition to being
a veteran Mr.. Sharp has filled this office
for several years and is efficient. 1t is all
important that the county records be kept
properly. He has proven his efficiency and
there is no reason why he should be turn
ed out. People frequently displace a good
officer because they want rotation. But
an eficient man should be kept in for the
public good, not his own There is no
danger Of any one getting rich in this
office. MONROE.

Heavyweight pugilist Of the world. Fitz-
simmons had challenged him, the articles
had been signed, and all that remained
was to fix on a place where the hgnt
could occur without legal interference.
Hot Springs, Ark, was at last chosen.
All arrangements were made, the date
was set for October, 1895; every. legal OBJ
stacle was apparently cleared away and
the fight seemed a certainty. But at this
juncture Governor Clark quietly forbade
the men to hold the contest in Arkansas,
declaring 1t illegal. This unexpected fiat
reused the hveliest sort Of opposition from
all sides Protests poured in. a mass meet
ing was held, money is said to have been
offered in enormous sums, influential
statesmen and politicians urged the gov
ernor to abandon his attitude of resist
ance. 1t was pointed out that he was an
tagonizingi the people and endangering
his future career.
The only effect Of all these pleadings
was to strengthen the governor'in his de-
cision that the fight should not come on
in Arkansas. s s
When it was suggested that means
might be taken to circumvent his author
ity he raked up an old statute, which en-
powered the governor to organize an ar
my of 100, 600 men. II necessary, and take
possession OF any section of the state,
holding 1t until order was restored.
Clark threatened to raise such an army
and, with himself at It's nead, TO QueH
any disturbance incident on his refusal to
permit the fight to go on.
This proved death blow to the fight
ers' hopes, but 1t was. perhaps, almost
as hard blow to Governor Clark's career.

Representative w. r. Jones made vio-

resentatives charging Governor Clark
with setting spies to watch several OF the
members, and. comparing Clark with an
assassin. accused him of stabbing in the
back men who were his betters.

that evening. took him by the ear and
tried to draw him aside. As he did so
Jones said something which so Infatuated

New York World.
BY defeating James K. Jones, former
manager of Bryan's campaign, in their
recent senatorial battle, Ex-Governor
James P. Clark, of Arkansas. has once
more demonstrated the eccentric fighting
inent as well as so bizarre a figure in
western politics.
Jones had already served one term as
United States senator for Arkansas. He
came up for reelection, his chief oppo-
nents being Governor jefferson Davis -and
ex-Governor Clark. Davis quickly dropped
out, leaving the struggle between Jones
and Clark. The latter. after a hot cam
paign, proved the victor.
Ex-Governor Clark, although only fort
seven years old, has had a long and de-
cidedly eventful-not to say tumultuous-
political career.
Typical Western Statesman.
He is in many respects the typical
western statesman, the sort seen Of late
more often on the stage than in real life.
He is a character essentially American.
and as incongruous in our present senate
as a mailed visigoth at village prayer
meeting.

dignity at times fails to cloak the i'm
puIsiveness and even ferocity Of the inner
man.
He is a man who has ever stood firm
on all points where he believer honor to
be involved, and who, in defense of his
principles, has made hosts Of enemies,
damaged his Political prospects and has
even been carried to the point of physical
violence.
Clarks first public office of note was
that of attorney general Of Arkansas. In
this position he gave universal satisfac-
ton and so thoroughly convinced his par
ty of his integrity and ability that he was
brought forward as candidate for COVER

Soon after his election it became evil
dent that he possessed aggressive qualA
ties which were far more noticeable in
that exalted post than they had proved
while he was merely attorney general.

FAVOR INEBRIATE ASYLUM
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS

To the Editor Of The Journal
/ have read In your paper many valua-
BILE arguments in favor Of the state build
ing a sanitarium for inebriates, which
favor myself, provided the cause of inc
briefly is removed. What would we think
of a board Of health, having charge OF an
epidemic of yellow or typhoid fever and
made no effort to remove the cause. but
put the city to the expense OF building
large hospitals and employing physicians
to treat them? They would be censured
on all sides. The cause Of inebriety ought
to be removed, regardless of the effect
II has upon the consumer. AS one of the
advocates says 1.-The liquor traffic is the
curse of the church and state, the one
foul blot on our American civilization.
Think too. of the pale-faced wife ana
children, the broken-hearted mother and
think of the father who bemoans the fate
of his boy Think of the tragedies Of these
wasted lives!f Now, for these reasons let
us remove the cause and build, equip and
maintain sanitarium for the inebriates.
Then We can say Georgia, the Empire
State of the South, has done noble
deed. The advocates claim that If these
inebriates are treated few months and
returned to their loved ones that happi-
ness will reign again; but they forget that
the majority of these unfortunates cannot
resist temptation. and will fall into the
same old rut, and back to the .sanitarium
he goes. AS long as we have the open
barroonns so long the inebriate will he
going his rounds. In the face of fires,
floods and droughts the people are not in
a position to be taxed to build, equip and
maintain a sanitarium for the constantly
Increasing inebriates. If IL is impossible to
abolish barrooms let those who vote for.
them pay the taxes to build the sanitari-
UNI. If the advocates will raise their voices
in sentiment of abolishing barrooms as
they have done so nobly for building
sanitarium, it can be done. Let us join
forces with the prohibitionists and abol
ish the barrooms and build, equip and
maintain a sanitarium for inebriates.
