NEW YoRk's BAD MANNERS

The New York Press Club is COM
posed of the best newspaper writer's of
New York City. They are supposed
to know something about what man
is going to say when they invite him
to speak before them. When they in
vited Senator Tillman to address them
they knew in all reason that he would
give them some warm nuts to crack
that his language is always warm to
the boiling point. Senator Tillman
doubtless believed that they wanted to
hear him. Had he believed otherwise
he would have declined the invitation
and staid at home Hence we consider
the following comment of the Wash
ing Post as entirely pertinent:
"We believe New York is about the
only place in the country where they
invite guests to dine and then insult
them when they respond. The late
Charles F. Crisp had an experience OF
that sort at Reform Club dinner, and
Saturday night Mr.. Tillman was hiss
ed. The members of the New York
Press club are supposed to be suffi-
GENTLY well acquainted with the ma
tional affairs to understand that Mr.
Tillman makes speciality of the sort
of talk they Missed, and his presence as
one of the speakers was by no means
mandatory. Mr.. Tillman's remarks
may have been inappropriate, but it il
quite certain that his treatment is
grave reflection upon the manners o
the organization that solicited and oh
tanned his presence. Rome Tribune

Divorce In Japan.

A traveller recently returned from
Japan tells of some of the queer laws
in that country concerning divorce:
"a divorce on the part of the husband
is easily obtained. One of the legal
causes of divorce is if the husband
find the wife too loquacious' Yet in
all my long experience in Japan l have
met only one man who discarded his
wife, and l never met with a family
where dissension existed, nor have /
ever heard of a husband treating his
wife with severity, although the same
cannot be said of some parents-in-law,
who consider their sons wife a mere
chattel. AS a general rule, the appear
ance of girls and women testifies of a
lightness of heart not always found in
other climes where their sisters have
more abundant means of happiness"

Rain and Plants.

Many persons must have noticed that
the most diligent sprinkling of lawns
and flower beds fails to impart to the
grass and plants vital stimulus equa
to that which comes from a good show
er of rain. A correspondent reminds
US of the reason for the difference. II
is because rain, falling from a great
height through the air, brings with II
a considerable quantity of carboniC
acid, of heterogeneous particles and OF
other elements nutritious to plants
which it has washed out Of the atmos
phere. So a sprinkler used from the
top of tall building might be slightly
more effective than when employed al
the surface of the ground.

REPUBLICAN, VIEW OF 1T.

The best friend of the negro is the
man who tries to devise some possible
way to stop agitation. But so long as
there are political demagogues the ne
gro question will be agitated. When
ever any politician of any party takes
it upon himself to use the negro for the
furth erance of his own selfish pur-
poses, it is safe enough to set that man
down as the enemy of the negro, con
sciously or unconsciossly.- Knoxville
