That reform administration is often

OF both press and public a most de-

LONG AND STEPHENS.

The selection that has at last been
made of the two distinguished Geor-
CLANS whose statues are to be erected
ital, will excite general satisfaction
throughout the state. Amid the
wealth of available material offered Sc
lection, of course, was difficult. but the
commission could not have done bet
ter than let its choice rest, as it has,
upon Hon. Alexander H. Stephens and
DR.. Crawford w. Long.
DIR. Longs name had been decided
upon, indeed, at the last meeting of
the commission and the selection OF
that of Mr.. Stephens had seemed in
advance almost assured. 1t is well
that to coming generations Georgia
should be represented by marble eff
gies of men who played so brave a part
in the history of the state and con-
tributed so much to the welfare of the
world
That the discoverer of anaesthesia
should be one of the selections there
was general agreement. Through him

cal triumphs made possible that before

Nor is less satisfaction to be felt at
the selection of Mr.. stephens-a Geor-
gian whose life was without fear and
whose memory is without reproach.
Conquering physical disabilities that to
weaker mind and will would have
seemed insurmountable; advancing to
distinguished position over obstacles
that would have blocked a less clean
or resolute ambition; counselling mod
Grafton, but sternly resisting wrong:
fighting for the right, pointing his peo-
pie down the path of justice and lib
erty and dying at last with the sound
of a great sections mourning in his
ears-surely his memory deserves this
sculptured shrine.
In appropriating a fund for the erec-
ton of these statues the legislature
should act with a wise liberality. The
commission, through it's committee, will
ask for $4,000, and it is not too much
Let it be seen that artistically the stat

HARMONY IN NEW YORK.

Those Republicans who hoped for
divided Democracy in New York to
help them on to victory in that state
this year are doomed. to disappoint-
ment. The New York Democracy is
in better fighting trim than it has been
in ten years. In his speech before
Tammany on Wednesday night David
b. Hill said: II extend the right hand
of fellowship to every Democrat in this
grand old organization, or in any other
organization, loyalty supporting Demo-
cratic candidates and principles. - And
that is the spirit of the times in the
party. Past differences have been rele-
gated to the rear, and the Democrats
are now fighting shoulder to shoulder.
Not less significant of the restoration
of good feeling among the New York
Democrats than the stand taken by
Mr.. Hill is the attitude of Mr.. Cleve-
land. He is no longer a citizen of New
York, it is true, but he Yields a pow
erful influence in that state. There
are still thousands of Cleveland Dem
ocrats" in New York who are quite
willing to be influenced if not alto
gether guided by that statesman's po-
litical actions. When, therefore, Mr..
Cleveland writes warm letter to Tam
many and assures that organization of
his sympathy and cooperation, and
points out to it the lines on which, in
his opinion, the battle should be
fought, it means bringing strong sup
port to the organization. Tammany
and Mr. Cleveland have not been on
very good terms for some years. 1t
opposed his nomination in 1884, acuui-
esced in it with poor grace in 1888 and
vigorously opposed 1t in 1892. Still, it
is to be borne in mind that, after the
nominations had been made, on two
occasions Tammany rolled up big ma
jorities for the candidate. The organ
ization is stickler for being regular"
and 1t always votes for the regular
nominee. But in so far as political
friendship was concerned, Tammanv.
under Croker. and Mr.. Cleveland were
very wide apart. With the retirement
of Croker and the coming in of a new
regime in Tammany there has been a
rapprochement between the leaders.
Senator Hill is now working in hearty
accord with Tammany, and Mr.. Cleve-
land sends the organization the assur
ances of his best wishes. Hill, Cleve-
land and Tammany make a strong
team.

George Hull. famous as the origina-

PERSONAL.

Sarah Bernhardt frequently com
poses" the costumes which are used in
her theaterical productions. On the
eve of an important event of this char
acrer she has a corps of girls in a
workroom pinning dress materials, lace
materials and general trimmings on
manikins. Once in a while madam
personally superintends these opera
tons and even the forewoman bows
to her opinion. rcn
"A writer in the London Taller says
that he knows few men more hearty
and more genial than Sir Arthur Co.
nan Doyle and Robert Barr. Both are
unconsciously more fiercely Tory in
their politics than anything that the
Primrose League can boast, although
one is member of the Reform Club
and the other of the Devonshire. But
they are both true liberals in being ev-
er ready to help lame dogs over stiles.

Joker Was n Small Person.

Mrs. Smith. the wife of Mr.. Henry
A. Smith, proprietor of the Hotel Stu
do. Charles street and Mount Royal
avenue, says the Baltimore American,
experienced quite busy day yesterday
as a result of the pranks of some prac-
teal joker, who also intruded upon the
feelings Of the editorial department of
the American.
The first intimation of the fact that
she was being made the victim of some
practical joker came TO light yesterday
afternoon shortly after O'Clock, when
an ice wagon stopped in front of Mrs.
Smiths home. 1927 Guilford avenue,
and the driver unloaded 100 pounds of
ice, which he told Mrs. Smith he had
been ordered to leave there. Mrs.
Smith protested that she had not or
dered It, but the man declared that
there could be no mistake, for the or
der had come over the telephone and
he had heard it. A few minutes later
the Yale laundry wagon stopped in
front of the house and the driver asked
for the laundry.
He was told that there was none,
and he likewise said he had been order
ed to stop at that address by some
one over the telephone.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Tribune (Rep.) says:
During the last few months popular
attention has been almost exclusively
absorbed by the Coal trust. 1t has been
the one which all were anxious to strike.
down. But in the pursuit of this con-
spicuous offender. other offenders must
not be overlooked. Sugar barbed wire,
and tobacco are as much necessaries
OF life as hard coal is. Each of these
products is controlled by a monopoly
whose illegal power must be broken,
or government trusts viii take the
place of government by the people"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
"Out of this unequal prosperity grows
the insistent demand that all of the
people of this country shall be enabled
to duly share in the advantages of
cheap production and unrivaled natu-
raj resources. Take away from the
trusts their tariff privileges of selling
dear at home and cheap abroad. Down
with the taxes that do not find their
way into the federal treasury, but only
serve to fatten millionaires and plumber
consumers. The coming issue between
parties will turn on the effort to force
a more equitable division of prosper
ity."
The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
'In this matter Congress should take
no notice of the protests set up by the
apostles of peace and disarmament
They are honest and sincere folk, we
have no doubt, but they are Missionaries
who want to introduce the millinnium
before it's time, and who would be the
first to complain of any misfortune
that occurred in time of war as the
result of inadequate military prepara-
ton. For good or evil wisely or un-
wisely, this country has embarked up
on career of national expansion which
makes a large. army indispensable to
its welfare and safety. The time for
protest is long past. Unless Congress
proposes to undo the work of the past
four years, 1t has no alternative save
that Of adopting Mr.. Roots plans"

His Royal Highness Somdetch Chow
ia Maha Vajidavudh, heir apparent to
the throne of Siam, seems to be pos
sessed of more than the usual share of
royal good sense. Since his arrival in
this country he has reduced the spec
tacular elements of his visit to a mini
mum and has steadfastly declined to
put himself on exhibition any more
than could be helped. In this degener-
ate age common sense seems to be dis
tributed with but a sparing hand in
royal palaces and the liberal proper
ton of 1t with which the future ruler
OF Siam has been endowed sounds a
note of encouragement for the future
welfare of his country

CHANGE PINS.

Life, a weekly journal of New York,
thus employs humor to illustrate po-
litical point:
"Yow!" howled the baby. There's a
pin sticking in me-"
But" replied the wise nurse, gent
ly, IF 1 remove the pin, your clothes
will fall OFF,
Moral: Don't touch the tariff.
The baby that knows what is hurt
ing it is pretty nearly big enough and
wise enough to remove the cause of
its discomfort. If perchance it cannot
reach the pin at the first effort, 1t will
keep wriggling and twisting and max
ing a noise until the cruel thing has
been removed; and the clothes may
take care of themselves.
The American people know the pin
that is giving them so much trouble,
and they are not going to be quiet
until it has been removed and replaced
by tariff reform safety-pin. That
sort Of pin will keep the clothes on
and secure comfort at the same time.

Senator Matthew Stanley Quay of
Pennsylvania Is rarely beyond the
range of fire Of the press Of his state.
including not only sfe Democratic and
independent newspapers, but the re-
spectacle section Of those Of his own
political persuasion. A reason for this
may be found in the Senator's recent
effort to force government employees
in Pennsylvania to contribute to the
expenses Of the Republican state CAM
paign. Under the civil service law this
is an oftense punishable by a fine Of
$4,000 and Imprisonment for three
years. The newspapers are making a
strident plea for the enforcement OF
the law and are deriving much salts
faction and amusement from the pros
pective employment of the Senator on
the stone-pile at the state prison.
Meantime Judge Pennypacker, the Re
publican nominee for Governor, con-
tinues to announce that my cousin

The election of Hon. Clark Howell to

tribute to a presiding officer of rare
impartialty and distinguished ability

The latest achievement of the New
York American-we have it on an au-
thority no less worthy of credence than
its own columns-is the settlement of
the coal strike. The American admits
that the President had something to
do with it, though it inspired his ac-
ton, and that the public indignation
against the impending coal famine
played a minor part, though the
American was the fountain head, the
accredited legal advocate and the only
genuine mouthpiece of this resentment,
but most of the credit it modestly re-
serves for itself. A few more feats of
this kind and the expense of running
and oiling the present machinery of
government will become unnecessary;
it can with all safety be transferred to
New York and entrusted to the Amer
leans staff. This accomplished the
versatile editor of the american paper
for the American people" will have
leisure to 'rebuke and instruct an un-
skilled Providence.
