The city government of Augusta has

the Old muster field and trotting park
made into public park for the use of
citizens in general as to have it cut up
and sold out to private parties for
house lots. 1t is taking a longer look

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Men with brains make big money by
marrying it.
There's many a slip 'twiXt' the vote and
the ballot box.
1t is mighty hard for a woman to keep
from cheering the winning side, no matter
whose it is.
When a man meets a woman ten years
after she refused to marry him he feels
like going out and buying champagne for
the town.
girl isn't half afraid to he alone with
a man in the dark as she is that somebody
might turn the light on from the outside
with one of those new-fangled modern i'm
prOvementS.
When a man once gets into debt about
the only way for him to get out of it is
to die.
Most people live up to the theory that
the longest way round is the shortest way
to Heaven.
Pretty nearly always the woman who
believes in the novels where the hero
kisses the heroines feet blacks her hus-
bands boots.
Generally when "A woman goes out of
her way to speak of her servants hall she
means the kitchen chair where the hired
girl sits.
1t is almost impossible to convince a
widow that she ought to know as much
about the ways of married women as a
bachelor does.

The condition of civilization in Rus
STA is pretty well indicated by the fact
that the Cars government spends
more money on press censorship than
it does on education. Last year SO
newspapers were suspended for peri
DDS amounting in all to 81 years, and 10
days, &c papers were forbidden to ac-
cept advertisements, and 259 editors
were officially threatened with Siberia
if they did not mend their ways. OF
course. this means that such things as
freedom of the press and any general
discussion of public matters are I'M
known in that vast domain. 1t is a
land OF oppression to a degree which
Americans can hardly conceive of. And
yet Russia by pushing into Asia aims
to become the most powerful nation on
the earth.

This scientist argues that the whale

Where Murder is UNPUBLISHED.

There was much newspaper comment
al over the country, when Ex-Governor
Tillnan of South Carolina, in the face
of the most conclusive evidence as to
his guilt, was acquitted on the charg,
of murder, but it seems that acquittal
is q common rule down there whenever
a man is brought to trial for the great
est crime which the law recognizes
The report of the attorney general, OF
that state, has found its way north and
has been published in several of oui
newspapers, and it appears from it thai
in the year 1902; there were 223 murder
trials in South Carolina and only three
223 men indicted and brought up to
trial in that state in a single year for
the crime of murder, 2cO were set free
by the jury.
The only surprise about these figures
is that so many men suspected of MUIR
der were ever brought to trial. Pre-
;urnably they were all white men, for
if they had been co!ored, all legal
fcrmalities would have been dispensed
with in the majority of the cases. In
no civilized land under the sun is hui
man life held so cheap as in the
southern section of the United States,
and Judging from these figures which
are officially given out by the attorney
general of that commonwealth, no state
mods life at so small a value as South
Caroline. Georgia is bad enough, but
the records for the same year show
that there We're as many convictions
in half as many capital cases.
Tine figures from other southern states
are not at hand, but we doubt if any of
them would show so few convictions in
proportion to the number Of murders
and number of trials as South Carolina.

Preaching VS.. Practice.

The American Gaelic League is an
organization which seems to have two
purposes. One is to promote Interest
n the Gaelic language and literature,
most commendable aim, though some
enthusiasts overdo the matter when
they suggest that the study of Gaelic
De taken up in the common schools
The other aim of the Gaelic League is
o discourage immigration from Ire
and TO this country. One of it's Off
:crs, in a recent address, which was re-
ported in the F;oston papers. last week
declared with eloquent emphasis that
hose in this country who send money
20 Ireland to bring their friends over
here are traitors to the Emerald ISLE"
md that 'life in a poor cabin in Ire
and is a thousand times more prefer
able 10 living in the tenements in our
,reat cities" Yet in spite of such ut
terances as these, the Irish people as
fast as they can get the means
,o.ltinue to flock over here into An1eri-
"a, the land Of promise and as fast as
they come here they seek to help those
ut home to come over and join them
It is the same with ether countries of
the Old World, as it is with Ireland,
and when their people come to America
to enjoy its freedom, it's privileges and
rs opportunities, they never, except iii
rare individual cases, go back to the:4
old homes CT express any desire to do
SO.
If the officers Of the Gaelic League
really mean what they say, in tile ut
tcrances quoted above, they will lose
no time in leaving the shores of Aneri-
ca and return to the old sod. TheiI
about the Irish immigration
are useless as long as they themselves
prefer their adopted country, to that
which gave Birth to them and their an
cestors. If the whole organization
should go back to Ireland it would b.
an example which might influence
others. Such action would be more
effective than oceans of eloquent ora
tory.

The first Hearst club in Maine is al

The first Hearst club in Maine is an
nounced in Knox county. and no doubt
it will flourish as a green bay tree in
congcnial soil. OF course, the idea of
such man as President or even the
nominee of the demoralzed Democracy
is the limit of political absurdity, but
as long as he is generous in the use Of
his millions there will be enthusiastic
clubs to help along his boom and he
can count on the support of his own
yellow publications. Here is the COM
ment of the Los Angeles Times, Cali
fornia, where he was known before he
started out to dazzle the effete East:
"Hooray! Hurrah! Hurro! Billy
Hearst for president, and nominated by
Jim Budd Of California;! Great! Billy
Hearst. the lampooner and cartooner
of the immortal Mckinley! Billy
Hearst, the knight of the Silver Bath
tub! Billy Hearst. the yellowest of the
yellow 'gernalists!' Billy Hearst, the
instigator of strikes, the defender of
anarchists. the stirrer up of strife be-
tween men and their employers, the
apologizer of boycotters, the fomenter
of discord, the educator of criminals,
the debaucher of public morals in his
reeking newspapers, the assailant of
.l1&- ox-;ls
What lovely candidate, indeed, would
he make for the party of Jackson and
Jefferson and their great associates in
that long line of grand Americans who
fought the battles of pure democracy In
bygone days! When Billy gets the
nomination the country will rise to him
