to whom CrokeriSm is distas to-
full. Cookers temporary sue
cess-if getting i'm may prop
erly be designated as SUCCESS
in New York has caused untold
injury to the Democracy of the
nation. To Croker the Demo-
cratic party is nothing more nor
less than the means by which he
is able to promote his own pecu-
MARY interests. To him the car
dinal principles of the party of
Jefferson are meaningless and
are made simply TO give persons
of his kind an opportunity to
fool the people and enrich them
selves at the public expense.
CrOllerism is one of the evils
which seem to grow out OF pop
ular government. It is to our
free institutions what the COCO
grass or some other obnoxious
weed is to the soil. When once
it gains Il fOothold it must be
rooted out.
1t is to be hoped that Cookers
sojourn in England has enabled
less objectionable leaders to
come to the front in New York
politics. If, despite his long
residence on the other side of
the Atlantic, he has not lost any
of his power and prestige in the
Democratic party of New York,
then surely that organization
needs publication, and needs it
BADLY.

On the other hand, it is encour-
aging and refreshing to watch
the manly stand of Senator Dol
liver, with the Iowa idea" who
advocates the more liberal policy
of Blaine, and of Mckinley in his
last public utterance. Dolliver
represents the new school from
the West who desire modified
tariff.
With but a few exceptions, the
Repu blican party is the very ex-
ponent OF ultra-protection, and
its leaders have been closely
allied with the protected indus
tries. That a faction of that
party should revolt against the
system, shows cOnclusively a
tendency to limit it's harsh ex-
actions and augurs we'll for the
success of the Democratic party
before the Am erican people at
the approaching elections. That
party has been in favor of a rea-
SCnable tariff for revenue ONLY
with some incidental propection,
thus laying an equal burden of !
necessary taxation on the
of everyone in pro-
portion to his capacity to add to
the maintenance of the govern
ment, and we can well hope that
the American people will quickly
perceive the many advantages of
that system of taxation.

A significant controversy has

New York some time next
4 March. AS Croker will no doubt
take hand in the political affairs
of Gotham his homecoming is
not hailed with JOY by the we'll

the incarnation of municipal

The recent denouement al

If he can, tear down the barrier

South a civilization equal to that

Il -.i/N/SZER[4L DON /U4N

The jury at Port Gibson. Miss,
has refused to believe that the
Rev. Jean Skyles is a victim of
satyriasis. Skyles was charged
with bigamy. He had married
seven times, the last one to be
deceived by his seductive man
ncrS being an cstima BILE lady of
| Mississippi. It was admitted by
the defense that he had most
tlagrantly violated the law which
says that a man can have but
one wife at Il time. Sizyles had
passed the half dozen mark and
it is safe to say that if the law
had not interviewed to protect
the fair Sex he would have added
several more to his list of victims.
While preaching the Gospel this
ministerial Don Juan was wont
to pick out the fairest of his flock
for his wife. He is one of your
handsome, scholarly, smooth vii
lainS, the kind who are. strange
to say. greatly admired by many
mem berS OF the opposite sex. tt
seems to be the grim irony Of
fate that an honest fellow with a
rude exterior will sometimes
have a devil Of a time to find one
wife, while a polished scOundrel |
will easily find a dozen wives if !
he cares to have that many.
a powerful effort was made to
save Skyles from the punish
ment which he richly deserves.
The plea Of insanity was made
IN his behalf. On most things
le was conceded to be sane, but
I learned scientist declared that
lie was mentally irresponsible
when it came to affairs Of love. /
n other words he was suffering
rom satyriasis, one of the symD- '
oms of this disease being his
ieslre to marry every pretty I
for whom he had & fancy. q
When an ordinary fool gets :
aught in this sort of business. 7
he unscientific Judgment is that /
e is bigamist and he is given s

nd refused to accept the fine Il

a great pity that a man of in n

The following principles have
been held clearly in mind in or
ganizing the Southern Education
Board: l. The results accom-.
plisilcd by southern people since
the war are recognized as worthy
of all praise. Such a movement
as this might we'll apply to all
parts of America. It is needed
in the South only because the
South had it's all swept away in
the war between the States, is
largely rural in character, and
has two races to develop. It is
because the white man in the
South has the negro TO educate
and care for that he deserves
both sympathy and assistance.
This Board asks to be allowed
the privilege Of helping a little to
do what is really the duty of the
whole American people. 2. The
white men in the South must be
trusted to do all justice to all
classes Of citizens and to act
wisely in the educational uplift-
ing Of all the people. Of twelve
Nom bers of the Board, seven
are either natives or life long re-
sldents OF the Southern States. |
The active work Of the Board is
left entirely in the hands of
southern men. DR.. Curry, for
twenty five years the Southern
eader in education, is super
Using director and chairman of
he campaign committee which
controls all the work. 3. If the
legro problem is to be settled
bright, it must be settled by
intelligent white men .
nd not by ignorant ones. This '
'elng the case, the highest vel ;
are OF the negro lies in the bet '
Ell education OF the whites. The 5
olution of this problem is to be I
ound in training the negro to be c
self-reSpecting citizen. +

More About Radium.

From the New York World.
A ton of radium, according to Sir
William Crookes, might be worth the
whole national debt of Great Britain,
not allowing for any further decline
in the price of consols.
bit as big as a grain of sand sends
out enough rays to blister the skin.
Aadium has been known to give out
heat for a year or two with no per-
ceptible diminution. Nobody knows
whether this process can be kept UP
indefinitely or not.
Glass vessels in which radium has
been washed acquire its power of
emitting rays.
Sir William Crookes still believes
that the amount of energy in the uni
verse is a constant quantity, and he
thinks that in some ways not yet ex-
planned the radium replenishes its en-
ergy from the movements of the
molecules of air surrounding it.
If a drop of water were magnified to
the size of the earth its atoms would
be about the size of walnuts. And
these atoms are so vast compared
with the electrons, which are supposed
TO give radiant energy, that the cleo
irons whirl about in the immense space
of this atom like planets in a solar
system.

FOR A NEW DISTRICT.
Plan Talked of For Another Federal
Judge For Georgia.

Gainesville, Ga, April 24.-An effort
will be made to have another district
of the United States Court established
in Georgia. The matter will be got in
shape by the latter part of the year
so that Senator's Bacon and Clay, and
the congressman of the state can in
troduce the bill at the next session of
Congress. The idea is to have the two
districts, the Northern and Southern,
now presided over by Judges Emory
Sreer and William T. Newman, rear
ranged, part of which will go to the
new district. In the Encouragement
courts are to be established at several
points where none are now held. For
instance, in the Northern district nc
court is held at Gainesville, and in the
Southern district none is held at Way
cross or Brunswick. The rearrange-
ment is to be left largely to Judges
Speer and Newman. They are to be
consulted as to what portions they are
to preside over. 1t is thought Judge
Speer would prefer to preside over the
courts at Macon, Augusta, Athens and
Gainesville, and that it would sui
Judge Newman to hold court at At.
lanta, Rome and Columbus, leaving Sa.
vannah, Townsville, Valdosta and an.
other point to be agreed upon by the
new judge to be appointed.
