MRS. GORDON.

To that nation whose women are
noble and tender and true, nothing Is
impossible. Ali things brave and
lofty, and pure and righteous, have
their source and origin in the heart Of
woman. Herein is the very core of
chivalry.
The knlghthOOd Of the south was
but "A reflection of the wOmanhOed of
the south. The one shOne high,
illumiuiug The camps of armies; The
other, purer anu not less brilliant,
frightened countless homes and cast
halo around The pages of history and
romance.
The greet of The southern people
and Of the whole nation today over
the passing of Geveral Gordon, the
Tancred OF this knighthOOd, brings
clearly to view the figure of the peer
less woman who was his wife.
Through the horrors of war and the
pain of sickness; summer and winter,
year in and year out, she was at his
side; cheering him ia darkness, COM
forting him in daylight, binding up
his many grievOus wounds.
AT Sharpsburg General Gordon was
wounded five times. His wife, then
less than IS years of age, awaited him
at the rear of the army, and, in the
midst of the roar of battle, while the
rattle of musketry and the muttering
of distant guns mingled with the
schrill stridOr of the flies, this fear
less woman nursed her hero back TO
the world again, even after he had
measured with his spirit the
depths of the great abyss.
Then to the front she sent him.
"Her light glove on his casque Ofsteel,
Her lOve-knOt on his spear"
and again and again he led the gray
columns to victory along the sheer rim
of death.
Mrs. John B. Gordon is the type
prominent of southern womanhOOd.
To-day, as the chevalier of the south
lies dead in The capitol OF his state,
she remains to represent on earth the
chivalfy of which he was the embOdi-
menl.-Atlanta Journal.

| have recently appeared 10 the news
papers. have caused me to think Sc
riously on the subjectiOf primary cleo
tiops. In order that what follows
may be properly understood, it Is
fitting that / should state that am
not, and never expect to he, candi-
date for any office; that am, and for
many years have been, an advocate
of nominations of candidates by pri-
mary elections.
The evils which grew out of nOmi'
nations by conventions and legisla-
tive caucuses, are too well known to
need recapitulatiOn. Suffice it to say
that years ago was delegate to a
state convention, and became so dis
gusted with the open trading and dis
regard of the public welfare, that l
left the convention and refused to
ever attend another.
1t was for the purpose OF getting
rid of these evils that the democracy,
in convention assembled, decided to
have nominations of party candidates
made 10y primary elections.
The sovereign people of the state
have, in the constitution which they
have adopted, imposed upon the gov
ernOr the duty of appointing certain
officers, and it is incumbent upon
him to obey the mandate Of the con-
stitution, which he has sworn to
Support, protect and Defend" by
selecting the best fitted person whom
he can get to accept the appointment.
No convention or primary can relieve
him from his sworn duty. The cOnsti-
tuition SAYS: "The governor shall
appoint all commissioned officers of
the state militia, including the adju-
tant general. The adjutsnt general
shall be chief of the governors staff"
AS we'll talk of nominating, by pri-
mary, the other officers of the gov
ernOr's staff and all commissioned
officers of the militia. Appointments
by the governor are not within the
evils sought to be corrected by sub
shutting the primary nomination for
nomination by convention or legisla-
tive caucus. The enemies of the
primary system could devise no bet
ter method of causing the people TO
abandon it, THAI by extending it be-
yOnd the evils it was intended to cor
rect, and by attempting to thus con-
troll the governor in the discharge of a
duty imposed upon him by the sover-
eign people of the state.

No Need For Bitterness.

In this campaign in Florida, there
is no need for individual or journal
istic scTimOny. The contest should
be conducted by all participating
upon high plane of that courtesy
which exists between honorable gen.
tlemen discussing subjects Of mutual
interest. No man of fine feelings and
lofty impulses is elevated in his own
esteem or that of others by engaging
in an unseemly quarrel in which in
sulting epithets or innuendOes are
exchanged. Such contests engender
animOsities that last for years, es-
tranging friends and sowing seeds of
dissentiOn that produce a harvest of
discurd TO the detriment of the state.
The man who conducts the argument,
as q gentleman, should always feel
better after the contest is over. He
has the approval of his own con-
science as well as of all intelligent
men; and, whether he wins or loses,
he retains the respect of friend and
foe alike; he has nothing to regret or
feel ashamed of; and, if he is victor,
his triumph will not be marred by
any ranking luminosity from his de-
feated OppOnent.-PuntA GOrda
Herald.

FIorids's Great Developer.

The people who are always nagging
at Henry NJ. FIagler are either idiots
or political hypOcrites. Mr.. Flagler
has done more to develop Florida than
any dozen men in the state and it is
reasonable to presume that all OF the
money he has expended developing
Florida for the benefit of other people
will never pay him a reasonable inter-
est on the Investment. He never
wants anything, but is always giving
and can always be depended upon TO
do the proper thing at the proper
time. Just the other day when Gen.
John b. GOrdOv died at Miami, il was
Henry NJ. FIagler who rendered the
use of his private car to convey the
remains of the dead chieftain to their
last resting place in Atlanta. Now
listen for some political nOndescript
to yell, "that it was politics" that
actuated the great benefactor. Such
Out6ursts of demagOguism makes the
Tribune feel for its gattling gun

ed the controversy by making the
proposition that, inasmuch as his
honor was at stake, the issue thus
joined should be tried by the facts, and
if Mr.. Stephens failed to prove his
charges that he should acknowledge
himself liar, and if he, Mr.. Hill,
failed to disprove the charges that
then he would acknowledge himself
liar. 1t is unnecessary to state
here the termination of that cOntTO-
versy. 1t is cited to show that the
serious minded public generally set
tie such charges by one candidate
against another uery much like Sena-
tor Hill proposed TO settle with Mr.
Stephens.
The answer Hr. TaliaferrO has
ma de to Mr.. Harris letter is complete.
1t is modest. A man who is called
upon to explain his acting and dOings
and defend himself against grave
charges of political and moral miscOn-
duct necessarily has a great latitude
in calling attention 80 whatever per-
formances of his may reflect glory
and credit upon himself. All the
charges against the senator are denied
by him, and then facts and circum-
states are modes Ily given and related
which show the utter impIObability
and unIruthfulness of the charges.
DenUnciatiOn of tbs charges, and de-
Ii uucIatiOn of the spirit which iuspir-
ed them, would not be censurable in
the senator, for great prOvOcatiOn
justifies it, yet beyond the plenitude
of the power of simple words to con-
vey overwhelming truth, he does not
go. Many things he INTERESTINGLY
states to simply overthrow the charges
only that truth might prevail, he was
entitled in the defense of his charac-
ter to proudly name as signalling
the merit of his career as man and
as a senator, but all of it was omitted
in such simplicity that the casual
reader would never be reminded of
the omission.
Senator TaliaferrO's answer TO these
charges of the mal.contents is a splen-
did paper. 1t is on the plane of ex.
cellence with the immortal OratiOns of
Demonthenes in his defense of his
right to the gift of golden crown

his HlOueSly III IeCOiH(lbS the great

the aspersiOns and false charges
brought by Aeschines were grandly
Impressive, and be was triumphant.
Mr.. TaliaferrO, in his answer, even
exhibits a more simple mOdesty in
referring TO the: events and matters
that reflected great honor upon him
than did DemOnthenes in his great
answer. Truth, however, must pre-
vail, and Senator 1al;aferro will also
triumph. --Times-U Union.

MAYOR WITH A RECORD.
Hinchliffe Of Paterson Faced MANY
Severe Situations,

New York, Jan. 5.-John HinchcIiffe.
mayor of Paterson, N. j., for three terms
has retired from Office. He closed an
official career that stamped him as one
of the most remarkable chief magis-
trates of any of the great manufacturing
cities OF the country
The assassination of King Humbert of
Italy and the shocking death of Jennie
Bosschieter two years ago centered pub
lie interest on Paterson. These things
are forgotten today in the distinction
that has come to Paterson as the only
city that four times in two years re-
fused outside aid in times of great dis
tress
To John Hinchclife belongs the credit
of this change of public sentiment.
On the morning of the big fire that
destroyed property in the city worth
sS.OO0,O00, Mayor Hinchcliffe was in con-
ference with other city officials when
a wealthy citizen of New York called
him on the telephone
Draw on us for any amount for the
relief of your stricken city," ran the
message.
Placing his hand over the transmitter,
the mayor communicated the message
to his colleagues.
Il think Paterson can take care of
herself said the mayor to mis- associ-
ates
They did not quite agree with him
and thought it best to wait. 1t was
pointed out to the mayor that other cities
had always accepted outside aid in time
of great calamities but the mayor could
not be swerved from the stand he had
taken.
Paterson, though sore stricken. can
care for her own and no outside aid is
needed" was the message flashed across
the wire.

Mayor Hinchcliffe again gave notice that

doing much destruction to factories. foun-

This same spirit of self-reliance gov

in the city eighteen months ago. which
followed the uprising caused by anarch-
lists He suspended Chief OF Police Graul
for inaction and took command Of the
force in person, directing that the police
men arm themselves with military rifles
and spare not the rioters. The appear

cowed the rioters. who had gone through
the city destroying mill property. His
suspension of the chief was sustained by
public sentiment, but Graul was rein
