CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appea
Dem.) wishes to know: Would Mr..
Bryan support Mr.. Cleveland if the lat
ter should be the nominee of the party
in 1904?"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem. } SAYS:
"Mr. Bryan is said to be investigating
Judge Parker with a view to making up
his mind whether the judge will answer
as a Democratic candidate for Presf-
dent in 1904. 1t strikes us that Mr..
Bryan ought to allow the Democratic
party to reach it's own conclusion this
time; it made lamentable failure
twice in following Mr.. Bryan's lead"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
There never was time when Demo-
Gratis were as one in all respects. If
their leaders had habitually assumed
the attitude now taken by Mr.. Bryan
they never would have had a common
purpose and they never would have
achieved a victory. Democrats who
cannot tolerate each other will have to
tolerate the Hannas and Quays and Ell
kinses."
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
THE whole course of tariff legislation
for years past, on which the party poI-
icy is conferred. VIGOROUSLY has heen
not merely suggested. but directed py
the representatives of corporate or as
ISOLATED interests. 1t is a matter of
record that the sugar schedule of the
Dingley tariff was prepared in the COM
mittee room by the representative of
the Sugar Trust; the wool schedules
were similarly suggested, and so on
through the list. In this present Con-
gress the attorney for a combination Of
beet sugar makers did not disguise his
peremptory opposition to the Cuban
reciprocity treaty. The tariff is made
for us by the trusts. and they are ex-
pected to say what they want and to
get it. Yet when somebody unnamed
says that he learned from an unrevear-
cd source that somebody supposed 10
speak for the Standard Oil Company
had made suggestion to some body else
that was not adopted. our united voices
are raised in eNecration OF the crime
and i'm praise of the heroic Independence
OF the administration that defies these
occult innuences."

NOT AN AvowED CANDIDATE.

No doubt Judge Parker's Chatta-
nooga admirers were surprised when
! they received his answer to their in
/ vitation declining to be present at the
banquet in that city to be given in his
honor. His action was based upon the
idea that if he were to accept he would
put himself in the position of being a
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton of his party. II was well under
stood of course that the purpose of the
banquet was to bring him to the front
as a candidate for the nomination.
1t is said that Judge Parker takes
the position that it would be inconsist-
ent with his position as chief Justice
of the Court of Appeals Of New York
to go about the country making
speeches to advance his candidacy for
the presidential nomination of his
party.
1t will be generally admitted that the
position taken by him is the right one.
The people will have a higher regard
for him for not actively seeking the
nomination, though it is difficult to see
how the people are to get acquainted
with him if he refuses to go among
them and occasionally address them on
refer them to his record, which, is in
every respect an honorable one, but it
does not convey much information
about him. He has been very little be-
fore the public. Indeed, if we are not
mistaken, he has had so little to do
with politics that he is not very well
known in his own state.
1t is a fact that there is kindly
feeling for him throughout the South,
and if he were to make the effort he
would get a good many of the South's
delegates to the Democratic National
Convention. He may get many of
them without making an effort to do
so. Still, his chances for being the
South's choice might be increased if
he were to let the Southern people see
him and learn from him his position on
the public questions of the day.
His refusal to attend the Chatta-
ncoga banquet, however, will not in
terfere with his programme to attend
the annual meeting of the Georgia
Bar Association. He accepted the Bar
Associations invitation six months
ago. AT that time he was not so gen
orally spoken of in connection with a
nomination for President as he is now.
In view of the fact that he is to be
a guest of the Bar Association at it's
annual meeting next summer there
will be a great demand for invitations
to that meeting. If the association
should decide to hold it's meeting at
Tybee there would be notable
gathering there.

THE HENDERSON INTERVIEW.

In view of the fact that there had
been no statement in the public prints
that Speaker Henderson was friendly
to trusts the interview which he. gave
out a day or two ago, in which he de-
MED that he had been lukewarm in
the matter of antitrust legislation,
doubtless was the cause of good deal
of surprise. II seems, however, that
the Speaker had good reasons for CIV
ing out the interview 1t will be re-
called that kilograms were received in
Washington last Friday, supposed
to have been sent by some one in the
confidence of the Standard Oil Com
pany, strongly opposing the Nelson
amendment to the Department of
Commerce bill, and saying that SUBJ
stitute would be submitted to the Com
mittee of Conference having the bill
in charge, and that the substitute was
satisfactory to everybody This SUBJ
stitute was submitted to Senator Mel
son, the author of the amendment,
and to Senator Hanna. Neither of
them would have anything to do with
1t. AT the next meeting of the Com
mittee or Commerce this substitute
was brought to the attention of the
committee by Representative Hepburn,
a member of the committee, who said
that he was opposed to it. but that it
had been given him by Speaker Hen
derson to be offered to the committee
for its consideration. The committee.
of course, refused to give it attention,
it being recognized as the Identical
substitute that had been submitted to
Senators Nelson and Hanna.
1t seems that. the matter was
brought to the attention of the Pres
ident, who, it is said decided to dis
pense with the services of Speaker
Henderson as an adviser of the admin
istration. Representative Cannon was
called in by the President as the
Houses adviser of the administration.
Naturally Speaker Henderson felt
that a wrong had been done him
that he had been placed in false
light. He therefore gave out the in
terview in which he undertook to show
that he had always favored antitrust
legislation. He made out a good case
for himself, but nothing has appeared
in the dispatches from Washington to
indicate that the Presidents conf
dence in him has been restored. In
the light of the Presidents action the
reason for the Speakers interview is
apparent. The substitute for the
Nelson amendment is supposed to have
been prepared by an attorney of the
Standard Oil Company. Its adoption
would have deprived the Department
of Commerce of any authority to deal
with trusts.

The wives of the Missouri congress-
men have found out why it takes Con-
gress SO long to do business. The dis
covery was made this way: The dele
cation from Missouri resolved to pool
their funds and make Miss Marion
Cockrell, daughter of the Senator, a
nice present on the occasion of her we'd
ding. But when the congressman had
Clipped in their funds they couldn't
decide on what form the present should
take. They held three meetings, and
still being unable to reach an agree
ment, resolved to leave it to their
wives. In three minutes the women
had agreed that chest of silver was
the right thing, and it was at once Sc
lected. Now the women are saying it
is no wonder the public business suf-
fers from dilatory legislation if a state
delegation cannot agree on so simple a
thing as wedding present after three
meetings.

81 worked for John D. Rockefeller
once" said a well-known landscape
gardener of this city to a reporter of
the Columbus (O) State Jonurnal. zone
morning 1 was out in the grounds doing
some work among the plants and flow
ers, and as l worked I smoked. Pretty
soon the old man strolled out that way,
and when he came up to. where 1 was,
said in a quiet way: L never had any
money to burn
II didn't tumble for a second, and he
stood there looking at me.
" I have managed to put away a few
dollars he continued, but never had
any money to burn
1T came to me all at once what he
meant and 1 threw the cigar away.
Next morning when he came around
there 1 wasn't smoking. He came up
with a smile on his face and said:
well, the stove isn't going to-
day."

An Exchange of Compliments.

Perhaps the most delicate way of
referring to Germany's Crown Prince
as one of the tribe of Baal, was re-
sorted to by an American girl recently
travelling on the continent, says the
San Francisco News Letter. It was
during the Emperor's regatta that Miss
Bernice Willard, a Philadelphia girl,
was introduced to the Grown Prince
at d dinner on the water. They were
all sitting on deck, the gentlemen
smoking, when a Whit of the smoke
from the Princes cigarette blew into
the lady's face.
Smoke withers flowers" remarked a
lieutenant across the way.
1T is no flower remarked the
Prince jocuarly. TT is a thistle"
Miss Willard raised her eyes a trihe.
I'm that case" she said, Il had best
retire hurriedly or 1 shall be devour-
ed"
The party saw the point; the Prince
was discounted.

NV Springs.

In the hearts of the Hills of Life I
know
Two springs that with unbroken flow
Forever pour their lucent streams
Into my souls far Lake of Dreams,
Not larger than two eyes, they lie
Beneath the many changing sky,
And mirror all of life and time,
Serene and dainty pantomime.
Shot through with lights of stars
and dawns,
And Swallowed sweet by ferns and
fawns,
Thus heaven and earth together vie
Their shining depths to sanctify.
o Love. o Wife, thine eyes are they.
My spring from out whose shining
gray
Issue the sweet celestial streams
That feed my life's bright Lake of
Dreams.
Oval and large and passion-pure,
And gray and wise and honor-sure;
Soft as a dying violet breath
Yet clamly unafraid of death
Thronged like two dovecotes of gray
doves,
With wife's and mothers and poor
folks loves.
And home-loves and high glory loves
And science-loves and story loves.
And love for all that God and man
In art and nature make or plan,
And lady-loves for spidery lace,
And broideries and supple grace.
And diamonds and the whole sweet
round
OF Titles that large life compound.
And love for God and Gods bare truth
And loves for Madgalen and Ruth
Dear eyes, dear eyes. and rare COM
plete-
Being heavenly sweet and earthly
sweet
l marvel that God made you mine.
FOR when He frowns it's when We
shine!

At last there has arisen in New
York man who has a word of praise
for William NJ. Tweed, whose name
has been synonym for thievery and
general political rascality for a num-
Der of years. That defender is Charles
r. Lamb. the artist. "The people of
New York owe Tweed a great tribute -
he says, adding that it was Tweed's
imagination and energy that gave the
city some of its most beautiful fea-
lures. This calls to mind the case of
BOSS" Shepherd and Washington. For
long time Shepherd was assaiIed as
corrupt man, and was practically
driven out of the city, but of recent
years 1t has been recognized that Il
was his genius and energy that made
the present beautiful Washington pos
sioie. One Of these days New York
ers may forget Tweed's moral obIioui-
ues and give him credit for the actual
good that he did

Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, whose
death occurred recently. lived the
last years of her life almost in pow
erty. Dying. she left a daughter, Miss
Ellen Fremont, aged about sixty years,
whose sole means of support is an in
come Of about $12 per month. Miss Free
mont is lnfirm and can do nothing to
add to her income. Meanwhile the
great, rich and benevolent government
of the United States has been the debt
or of the Fremonts. mother and daugh-
ter in the sum of about $4,000 for
nearly forty years. There isn't any
question that the debt is a just and
honest one, or reason why it shouldn't
be paid. In 1860 Mrs. Fremont bought
a tract of land in San Francisco for
which she paid $4,000 and upon which
she erected a residence costing several
thousand dollars. In 1863 this property
was seized by Gen. Wright by order of
the government for military purposes.
Subsequent to the seizure the buildings
were destroyed by fire. No payment
was then made for the property. Mrs.
Fremont filed a claim with the govern
ment asking to be reimbursed for that
which il had taken away from her. On
several occasions a bill to pay the
claim has passed one or the other of
the houses of Congress. but no bill has
ever reached the President and the
money is still due. That is how the
government has discharged its debt to
Gen. John Charles Fremont, the Path
finder" The delay in this case is a
national scandal. But there are lots
of others just as bad. Uncle Sam is
VIGOROUSLY one of the worst debtors in
the world, to his own people: unless
percharce the debt is a political one,
IN which case he comes across"
quickly.
