LOBBYISTS At WORK.

Some of the members of the Legis-
lature have discovered that there are
lobbyists at work among the members
Two of the members have announced
their discovery on the floor of the
House No doubt the people of the
state have been wondering why there
was so much difficulty on the part of
the House to reach a decision in the
convict lease matter. Now they have
ground for suspecting that the trouble
is caused by lobbyists.
The situation seems to be this The
Senate passed a bill, which is practl-
cally the existing law, leasing the con-
victs for another term of five years.
The House wants the law changed.
1t doesn't approve the present law,
but there must be interests somewhere
that want the law to remain practi-
cally as It is. These interests have
been able thus far to prevent the
House from reaching an agreement,
their purpose being to bring about the
passage of the Senate bill
1t is charged that lobbyists have
been and are at work among the men,
bers to accomplish the purpose which
we have pointed out, namely, the
passage of the Senate bill. The charge
has not been proved 1t is claimed that
it is practically impossible to prove it.
1t is probable, however, that If an
earnest effort were made 1t would be
possible to come so near to discover
ing the lobbyists that they would be
scared, and would cease their efforts
to influence members. Besides, an in
vestigation would call the attention of
the people Of the state to the fact
that some of the members were yield
ing to arguments of lobbyists, and that
would make the situation so uncom~
forta BILE for the members so influenced
that they wouldn't listen to lobby
lists.
There was a suspicion that it
wouldn't be an easy matter to settle
the convict lease question before the
present Legislature met. If 1t had not
been for that question there wouldn't
have been three full sessions of this
Legislature at an additional cost of
more than 1000 to the state.
The belief is that the state hasn't
been getting as much for the convicts
as it ought to-that it ought to have
twice as much as it has been getting,
judging from what convict labor
brings in Florida. If therefore there
is a lobby at the state capital there
is good reason for 1.-THE reason being
that a law is wanted that will permit
of the making of big profits out of the
convict la hOr.

A DIPLOMATIC sLAPr

The question as to whether the order
that came from st. Petersburg a day
or two ago to the Russian Charge at
Washington, and by him transmitted
to the State Department, to the effect
that only passports vised at the Rus
sian Embassy at Washington and by
the consuls at New York, Chicago and
San FRANCISCO would be recognized in
Russia, is diplomatic slap, is being
diseased in diplomatic circles. Here
tofore passports have been vised not
only by the officials above mentioned
but also by the Russian consuls at Sa-
vannah, Mobile, Pensacola, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Portland. Galveston and
Manila.
One opinion that has been advanced
is that this action OF the Russian gov
eminent is intended to indicate it's dis
pleasure at the action of the United
States government in taking notice OF
the petition in the Kishineff affair. An
other theory is that Russia intends t.
limit the number of prominent Amer
MS lIdNGlluS III 00tileAttCy ebAb
particularly does she intend to shut out
those who were prominent in the agita-
ton in regard to the Kishineff massa-
ere. Probably the real reason is de-
sire to cut down expenses. Russia has
comparative little commerce with this
country, and doubtless she came to the
conclusion that there was no reason
why she should continue to maintain
consuls at so many American ports.
1t must be admitted. however, that Il
seems a little odd. The order clos.
ing so many of her consulates in this
country looks as If Russia meant tC
show her resentment at the action oil
our government in the matter of the
Kishineff outrages. OF course it is wei
understood that no American can trave
in Russia without having his passport
vised in this country by one of the
officials designated. A passport ISSUED
by the State Department is of no ac.
count unless it is vised.
There is no doubt of course that the
Russian government and the Russian
people are sore over the attempt OF
our government to send a petition t
the Russian government respecting the
Kishineff affair. The St. Petersburg
papers have been caricaturing Uncle
Sam and calling attention to the lynch.
ing of negroes.
This feeling of irritation doubtless
will wear off in the course of time, but
1t is evident that Russia isn't quite tn,
cordial friend she was before our eff.
fort to intervene in her domestic af.
fairs in behalf of the Jews.

The head of the family, with his
beloved sweetbrier and his favorite
magazine, had settled back in the
rocker for a quiet, comfortable even

On the other side of an intervening

S-year-old forehead indicated that he
was mentally wrestling with some per-
picking problem. After a while he look

Altogether TOO Truthful.

A Market street merchant has an
office boy who is all right as a faith
full, honest little chap, but his home
training has been so good that he is
by no means a good fibber, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The other day
the merchant said to the boy:

called that 1 had gone to San Fran
CISCO"
YES, SIR" said the boy: 81 told him
you started this morning"

turn, sir, and 1 told him did not think
you would be back until after lunch. :"

Jolly Grover Smiled.

At the dedication of the st. Louis
Exposition reporter for one Of the st.
Louis newspapers was instructed to in
terview ex-President Cleveland, and
two written statements were given
him to present as the text for the talk,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. The
reporter presented the slips of paper,
and Mr.. Cleveland read:
1T is rumored that you have pros
poets for an increase in your family"
admiral Dewey says you are too old
to be President again."
A scowl came over the ex-President' S
face as he read the first paragraph,
but it softened as he read the second.
Then he asked:
How long has Admiral Dewey been
married."
Then he handed the slips to Senator
Hanna and Gov. Francis with the re-
mark that he had nothing more to
saw.

A Duluth attorney recently went East
to visit his old home, and the first Sum
day he was there he attended church,
says the Duluth News-Tribune. After
service he visited the Sunday-school
and saw many familiar faces among
the pupils, although they had all
grown considerably during the years
he had been away.
At the request of the superintendent
the visitor addressed the school, and
in opening he asked if there were any
present who remembered him-who had
ever seen him before.
The hand of a little fellow in the
front row Immediately went up. II do
Il dol" he said.
A satisfied smile crept over the face
of the visitor. He was glad that the
children remembered him.
Now, where was it you saw me be-
fore?" he asked the boy who had raised
his hand.

last summer" replied the youth, en-
Enthusiastically. I'D never forget your

MIR. CLEVELAND'S POPULARITY.

Evidently Mr.. Bourke Cochran, the
Tammany orator, has changed his
opinion of ex-President Clevelands
popularity. 1t will be recalled that in
the Democratic National Convention in
1892, he made a speech against Mr..
Cleveland's nomination in which he
said that Mr.. Cleveland could not be
elected, and that therefore it was a
waste of time and energy 20 nominate
him.
Mr.. Cochran returned from trip to
! Europe the other day and was inter-
viewed by the New York newspapers.
He said to them that he Thought that
Mr.. Cleveland would be elected PIesis
dent if nominated In the years that
nave interviewed since he made his
great speech against the nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland his opinion of the lat
ter's popularity has undergone great
change.
1t is hardly probable that Mr.. Coch-
rams change of opinion is due to the
fact that Mr.. Cleveland is now on good
terms with Tamnany. 1t is doubtless
due to his knowledge that there Is a
strong and growing sentiment
throughout the country in favor of Mr..
Cleveland and that his support is not
to be found wholly within his own
party. Business men in all sections of
the country-Democrats as well as Re-
publicans-have confidence in him. If
there is an organized effort being made
to bring about his nominatio the fact
has not become apparent. Indeed, it
is not even known that he desires the
nomination. He has had three presi-
Dental nominations. and has been
twice elected President. 1t is reason
able to suppose therefore that his po-
! litical ambition is satisfied.
There isn't. however, much prob
ability that he will be nominated or
that his name will be mentioned in the
nominating convention. While he is
admired greatly by the people, almost
without regard to party lines, there is
| a pretty general feeling that his party
couldn't win with him as it's leader, for
the reason that the sentiment against
| third term is too strong. true, II
| Mr.. Cleveland were to he nominated
and elected the term which he would
! serve would not be his third consecu-
tive one, but the people wouldn't be
disposed to accept the theory that his
election wouldn't be a violation of the
unwritten law of custom.
If Mr.. Cleveland were to be nomi-
mated many Democrats who were
against him in 1902 would support him,
but the Bryan wing of the party could
be counted or as being against him.
That fact and the sentiment against
third term would prevent his nomi-
nation if his friends should bring his
name before the convention, notwith-
standing Mr.. Cochran's opinion that he
would be elected If nominated.

There will be little if any popular
objection to increasing the pay of the
judges of the Supreme and ST.
perior courts, as voted by the
Senate, to $4,000 and $4,000
per year. Those figures are small
enough to pay to lawyers of the class
that Georgia wants on her bench. The
judiciary of this state stands high
and the gentlemen of the bench work
just as hard and conscientiously Tor
the pay they receive at present as they
will work for the increased pay; new
ertheless it is a matter of injustice
to ask a first-class lawyer to leave
practice that pays him well to take
a place on the bench that pays very
much less. Our lawyers are willing
to sacrifice something for the honor
of sitting on the benches of our courts
but it is not right that they should
be called on to make sacrifices greater
than they can well afford.
