CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
(Dem.) says: "The Democratic lead
ers should remember that we made
imperialism the paramount issue in
the last presidential election, and we
got the worst licking ever administer
ed to any political party since the re-
public was established.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: mot word on attack
ing the army has appeared in the Re
publican organs for three days. or since
the President took up the attack and
made it of practical force. AS an is
sue against the other fellows it has
fallen to the ground"
The New York Journal of Commerce
(Ind.) says: Two and a half years
ago Canada Hardware directed at
tention to the fact that the price of
wire in carload lots was $40 f. o. b.
Cleveland to American dealers and S.20
to Canadian dealers 1t is not likely
that the wire manufacturers were SELL
ing to Canada without getting a fair
profit Legislation enabled them to get
As cents more from their fellow citizens
. than they asked of the stranger, and
II could not have been of any benefit
TO the people of the United States to
pay the higher price. Prices have
changed in the meanwhile, but the ra-
Ito between domestic and foreign prices
is understood to be very little changed
The manufacturer would hold the
ution without any protection. but this
enables him TO get a higher price out
OF his fellow-citizens than he can get
from foreigners

ESTIMATING ESTATES.

1t is interesting to notice how wide
of the mark most of the popular esti-
mates of the fortunes of the very rich
men of the country are. The incor-
rectness of the estimates becomes APP
parent when estates are brought into
court and appraised.
AS rule the fortunes of rich men
are thought to be very much greater
than they really are and greater than
the appraisement under the wills
shows them to be. A man who, dur
ing his life. was thought to be worth
$40, 200 turns out not to have been
worth half that much.
AS a rule all great fortunes are over
estimated, though now and then there
is one which is found to be larger
than it was thought to be during the
testators lifetime. An instance of this
sort occurred the other day. The APP
praisers of the estate of r. G. Dun,
known in connection with the r. G.
Dun & Co. commercial agency re-
turned a valuation of almost $6,000,-
600. AT the time of his death it was
estimated that his estate was worth
about half that amount
On the other hand the estate of Jo-
seph Richardson, also of New York
City, who was believed during his life
time to be worth approximately $780,
900, 900, has been appraised at less than
81 .OOO, 0O0. Richardson is the man who
built what was known as the Spite
House. a house to spite his neighbor.
That fact, however, has nothing to do
with the difference between what it
was believed his estate was worth
and what it was found to be worth.
1t is not improbable that there are
many millionaires in New York City
and other parts of the country who
are unknown to the general public,
| and that nine-tenths of the great fort
unes are not much more than third
or half as great as they are estimated
| to be by those who take an interest in
such matters.

Travelling on the steamer North
CUMBERLAND, on the Rappahannock
river, last week." said the Rev. E. B.
Bagby, of the Ninth Street Christian
Church, according to the Washington
Post 81 fell in with group of minis
ters on the upper deck, and soon we
were swapping stories. The eccentric
tiles of the famous evangelist, Sam
Jones, proved a. prolific topic. The
Rev. Mr.. Butts, a Methodist minister
from Gloucester county, said that the
only time he had ever known Sam to
be disconnected was at H. Va.
where he had been called to conduct a
union revival. The first night of the
meeting the pastors of the different
churches were on the platform and
crowds filled the pews. All were look
ing for something sensational. and
were not disappointed. Evangelist
Jones arose, turned to the Methodist
preacher and said:
Brother s., how many members
have you in your church?
Three hundred, was the answer.
How many are willing to pray in
public?'
About a dozen
What is your salary?'
Five hundred dollars
Then each minister was called in
turn and interrogated upon the same
points; revealing the fact that the
amount of salary received by the min
lister and the number taking public
part in the services was woefully small
in comparison with the size of the con-
gregation.
"'W Well said Mr.. Jones. addressing
the ministers. but with a sidelone
glance OF the audience, If 1 had such
mean, measly lot of people IN my
church, you know what l would do:
l would get them up in a pen and send
off and get a hound dog and set him
ON them, and say: "Sic 'em, Tige; sic
'em, Tige. "
Excuse me, Brother Jones' said
the Methodist minister rising and
stepping forward, but that is just
what we have done. We have gath
cred the people together. Now, "Sic
'em, Sam; Sic 'em, Sam"
IF MIR. Jones was not himself the
balance of the evening, it was prob
able that he was thinking of the
hound dog"

Fishing Time.

My fingers itch to cast a fly,
The bells of memory chime
And call me to the woods and fields,

In lazy amber brooks,
OF grassy banks with blossoms bright
And silent, shady hooks,
Where | forget the world of toll
And wash away it's Crime

Or in his favorite pool,
And all the silver finny folk
That throng the watery cline:

A white man of the name of Wells
was hanged in Atlanta yesterday. He
had killed a blind man, Frederick
Pearce. Wells was a merchant and
had borne a good reputation. He doubt
less thought that because of his color
and reputation he could kill with i'm
punity, or at worst he would only be
sent to the penitentiary, from which,
in the course of a few years. he would
be pardoned. In the cases of a num-
Der of other murderers in Georgia
matters had taken that course, hence
in all probability Wells argued that
his case would follow the well-beaten
path. 1t transpired, however, that
Wells missed his calculations. There
proved to be an exception to the pretty
general rule, and his case was the ex-
ceQtion.
Another white man. Millard Lee, who
shot in church and killed young wo-
man who had declined to receive his
attentions, is also to pay the death
penalty shortly, in Atlanta. Jealous
rage led him into the commission of
the crime; but race and influence were
not sufficient to save him from the
consequence of it. This Atlanta man
ner of dispensing justice will be APP
plauded throughout Georgia by the
law-abiding and law-loving people. 1t
begins to appear that at the capital
they enforce the laws more rigidly than
in some other quarters of the state.
II, frA =
white skins are being sent to the gal
lows. Ashley Coke and Thomas Lau-
derdale, who are said to be highly
connected" are to be hanged at Green
vile to-day for the murder of Engi-
neer Wray. Extraordinary efforts were
made to save these men, but they
availed nothing, and the outraged law
will be avenged.
1t would be well for those men, white
and black, who are every ready to
shoot or stab their fellows to reflect
upon the fate of Wells and Lee, and
Coke and Lauderdale. While there
may be chance for the murderer to
escape the gallows, there is also a
chance that he will be hung; and
the man who takes chances cannot
reasonably expect that the outcome
in every case will be favorable to the
law breaker. Thefe is no telling just
when the law is going to win out.
There are to-day white and black muir
derers, walking as free as honest citi-
zens, who should have been dispatched
in the legal way and at the proper
time; but there is no positive assur-
ance that the next murderer will be
equally lucky.
No white murderer has been hang
ed in this part of Georgia for fifty
or sixty years, and of late it has been
impossible to send to the gallows even
negro murderers who have committed
the most bloody and outrageous crimes.
Jurymen seem to have arrived at the
conclusion that il white men are not
to be punished for murder, neither
should the black men be. There is
logic in the conclusion, to be sure, but
it is based upon false premises. Even
handed justice should be melted out
in all cases, irrespective of race, color
or condition; and the murder that is
committed wilfully or in malice SHOULD
be eXpiated on the gallows. We need
a revival of the Atlanta and Green
vile brand of justice in this section.

KING EDWARDS CONDITION.

Are the reports of the unsatisfactory
condition of King Edward. which are
being sent to certain newspapers of
this country by special cablegrams,
we'll founded? If they are then it is
probable that the coronation fixed for
Aug. 9 will not take place on that date
1t is said that the appearance of the
King is such as to excite the alarm of
those who are permitted to see him.
His wound has not healed as rapidly
as it was expected it would, according
to these cablegrams, and he is suffer-
ing a great deal of pain. 1t is assert
ed that no one is permitted to visit the
yacht on which he is seeking a restor-
alton of health, and that all communi-
| cation between the shore and the yacht
is prohibited.
The probability is that there is very
little, if any, foundation for these SEN
sational statements. No doubt the
King is still suffering from his wound
| but if there were alarm respecting his
| condition the fact would be cabled to
all parts of the world on such author
| ity that there would be no room for
| doubt.
The fact that no one from the shore
is permitted to board the yacht, and
that none of the crew is permitted to
go ashore does not necessarily mean
that the Kings condition is worse
than it was when he was taken aboard
of the yacht. 1t would be we'll to
wait for authentic news before assum-
ing that the sensational rumors that
are afioat rest upon a solid foundation.
