1t was in February last that John
Sharp Williams leadership of the mi
nority in the House of Representatives
had so spread his fame that he was
widely talked about as of presidential
caliber, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
An enterprising but unsophiSticated
newspaper man sought the MISSISSIPPI
plan for information as to any move
ment in his favor. Mr.. Williams, with
well dissembed gravity, assured the
reporter that everything was auspi-
cious for his boom. Recent reports
from Mississippi, especially, were high
ly encouraging.
Nanachehaw, Toccopola, Tabbville
and Grubbs Springs, I am told" he
said, ARE already for me, while /
have every reason to believe that
shall have the undivided support of
such places as Nittayuma, Wahaiak,
Bolatusha. Hushpuckena, Pelahatchie,
Mittayuma, Estabutchee, Ittabena,
Scutch, Chinquapin. Pawtickfaw, Oc-
toe, Lego, Yellow Rabbit, Chunkey
Station, Hambone, Deovolente and
Whynot."
When the reporter had sufficiently
recovered to scrutinize the countenance
of the Mississippi statesman he ask
ed:
How do you spell those?"
Mr.. Williams patiently and with dig
nified elaboration spelled the words.
The reporter took it all down, and
went away with a. quizzical look, al
most as quizzical as that with which
the minority leader disappeared within
the swinging doors of the House.

THE RrILnING LANE arEsrIon.

Cannot the City Council be induced
20 take up the building line question?
Col. Mercer called attention to it in
his address at the High School COM
mencement. and again in an interview
in the Morning News yesterday. In
his opinion the city can compel peo-
pie, in building homes within the city.
ments by refusing permits TO those
who will not agree to observe the
building lines laid down by it.
The establishing of building lines
would certainly be a long step in the
direction Of beautifying homes and in
creasing the attraetiveness of the city.
OF course the city authorities would
meet with opposition if they undertook
10 establish building lines, but every
improvement that is proposed has OPP
ponents. and is secured only after a
struggle. II the city is to be made
more beautiful-and the work of beau
tifying it has been hardly begun-the
city authorities must encourage the
work in every way they can.
We are soon to have a beautiful
city hall, but it's beauty would appear
to much greater advantage if Emmett
Park were made attractive with trees,
grass and shrubbery
A great advantage in having dwell
ings built on a line, and set back from
the street. is that the people would
then have pretty little front yards in
which grass, flowers and vines would
be cultivated. The plants and flowers
would have beneficial influence on
the lives of the occupants of the homes.
These little cultivated plats in front
of dwellings would bring a vast amoNnt
of happiness not only to those who
owned them, but also to those who
passed along the streets and observed
them. And they would cost nothing,
except the labor put upon them, and
the labor would be a source of pleas
ure.
Everybody seems to take pride and
feel a pleasure in the city's beauty,
but there are but few who are will
ing to make an effort or to assist in
any way in increasing its beauty There
are streets in which there are great
gaps in the rows of trees along the
sidewalks, but the owners of property
on these streets cannot be induced to
close these gaps by planting trees. Has
not the city the right to make the
Improvement at the expense of the
property owners, as in the case OF
pavements?

MONEY LENDING BILLS.

The bills of Senator Howell for Tegu-
lating the loaning of money in small
amounts ought to receive prompt and
careful attention The need of laws
on the line on which these bills are
drawn is we'll understood by those who
have given the subject the attention
it's Importance deserves.
OF course, where interest is charged
in excess of the legal rate IL cannot
be collected by law, but those who
agree to pay excessive interest are not
going to make an cutlery about the
matter. The most OF them would feel
themselves disgraced if it were known
they were In the hands of
what are called money sharks. There
fore those who borrow money at ex-
tortionate rates of interest go on paving
the rates rather than appeal TO the
courts for relief.
Recently there came to light in At
lanta a number of cases in which the
debtor was paying interest at the rate
Of about 100 per cent. No doubt there
are scores of such cases in this city,
as well as in other Georgia cities. They
explain how it is that. beginning with
a small capital, the money lenders get
rich within a comparatively few years.
II may be said that those who go
ito the money lenders are old enough
to take care of themselves, and that.
as a rule, they are improvident people
who cannot be helped with any de-
gree of success. There is no doubt,
of course, that most of them would
live beyond their incomes If they were
not in the clutches of the money
lenders, and that. therefore. there is
no use in trying to protect them.
There are, however, a great many
whose necessities drive them to the
money lenders. These are the ones
the Howell bills are intended to help.
They pay their loans as soon as they
can and make haste to get out of the
clutches of the money lenders. They
are deserving and should be assisted
The only objection we see to the
Howell bills is that the rate of in
terest permitted on the smaller loans
seems to be high. stih. the fact is
recognized that loans of that class
are. as rule. specially hazardous, and
hence the rate of interest on them
should be higher than on the larger
loans Doubtless the committee which
has the bills in charge will investi-
gate the question as to whether or not
the rate If interest is too high.

THE PROHIBITION TICKET.

The Prohibitionists ought to poll a
larger vote in this campaign than they
did in the last one for the reason that
they have a very good ticket and a
much broader platform. Besides. il is
but reasonable to suppose their cause
has made some progress. If it hash I
they ought to abandon IL. on the ground
that il doesn't appeal 20 the people.
The nominee for President, Silas c.
Swallow, is well known throughout the
country on account of the part he
played in Pennsylvania politics a num-
Der of years ago. In that state ne
was candidate for state treasurer in
1897. and for Governor in 1898 and 1902
on the Prohibition ticket. In each of
the elections he poIled a large vote.
much larger than it was expected he
would. He is the editor of the Penn
syIvania Methodist. and in the year he
ran for state treasurer he made charges
against politicians of the state which
got him into trouble. However, at
the trial he was acquitted.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Swallow
is a man of great force of character
and much more than ordinary ability.
For several years he was a thorn in
the side Of the Republican politicians
of Pennsylvania. and he made some of
them thoroughly uncomfortable. He IS
getting along in years now, being
about SIS. and it is probable that he
will hardly do as much active cam
paigning as presidential candidate
as he did as candidate for Governor.
He was so earnest in his gubernatorial
contest that he created the impression
in the minds of a great many people
that he actually believed that he was
going to be elected. He doubtless
thought he could convince the people
that the other parties were so corrupt
that their only hope of getting clean
and pure administration OF the affairs
Of the state was to put the Prohibi-
tionists in power. OF course he has no
hope that he will be elected President.
The people are not ready yet for
Prohibition administration.
There are some good planks in the
Prohibition platform outside of that
which relates to the liquor question.
Stnl, after the Notification Committees
have performed their duties, but lit
tie will be heard of either the ticket
or the platform.

The Greenville Is. c. News (Dem.)
says: Representative Fielder has in

lature making burglary at night a cap

ways prepared TO kill in the event of
any sudden discovery, it seems the
most reasonable thing in the world
that he should be hanged"
The Columbia Is. c. Record (Dem.)
says: Whatever may be the legal cor

reference to chaingangs, the fact is
that IL they are done away with
Southern cities, especially. will have a
large number of idle negroes which
would be a menace to the commune

tion. and IL It is unconstitutional we

There doesn't seem to be any doubt
among those who have talked with
Mr.. Bryan within the last week that it
is his purpose to leave no means un-
tried to prevent the nomination Of
Judge Parker There is, therefore, a
great deal of speculation among the
delegates and politicians now gather
ing at st. Louis as TO his plans, and his
course in the event he fails to accom-
plish the objects he has in view.
Some of his Nebraska friends say
that if Judge Parker should be nomi-
mated he wouldn't bolt. but that he
would bolt If Mr.. Cleveland were to be
nominated, and run for President on
an independent ticket
II seems that he hopes to defeat
Judge Parker by having adopted a
platform so radical that he couldn't
stand upon it. He will begin his fight
for such a platform in the Committee
on Resolutions, and If he fails there
he will carry it into the convention,
where he hopes to be successful
through his ability as an orator. He
believes that there will be no man in
the Parker forces who will be able to
cope with him in oratory, and through
his oratory he hopes to deadlock the
convention on the nomination.
This is of course an interesting pro-
gramnne. but 1t doesn't take into ac-
count that the majority of the Com
mittee on Resolutions will. in all prob
ability be made up of men pledged or
favorable to Judge Parker. If the ma
jority report should be in favor of a
conservative platform it would be
practically impossible for him or any
body else to get the convention to re-
ject it. Its adoption would make it
impossible to deadlock the convention
on the nomination.
There is talk to the effect that Mr..
Bryan is in a combination to defeat
Judge Parker and that the combination
will control the convention-the combi-
nation including Mr.. Hearst, Senator
German and all the other forces sup
posed to be opposed to Judge Parker.
A moments consideration, however, is
sufficient TO show that there is little
or no foundation for this talk 1t is
practically impossible for Senator Cor
man and Mr.. Bryan to get together or
Mr.. Hearst and Senator German to be
in the same political combination.
The opinion is being expressed by
some of those who have reached st.
Louis that Mr.. Bryan will bolt if
Judge Parker is nominated. but his
Nebraska friends says there isn't the
remotest probability of his boiling, un-
less Mr. Cleveland is nominated.
If Judge Parker should be nominated
Mr.. Bryan couldn't carry anybody out
Of the convention with him. He would
simply put an end TO his own political
career, and ruin his newspaper, on
which he depends fdf a living. If.
however. Mr.. Cleveland should be nom
mated he might make something Of a
stir throughout the country by boiling
and. at the same time. make his paper
eagerly sought for. As the situation
presents itself, therefore. Mr.. Bryan is
going to try to prevent the nomination
of Judge Parker, but will not bolt IL
he fails in his undertaking. II Mr..
Cleveland should be nominated he
would probably bolt and conduct an
independent campaign.
But. after all, isn't there a great deal
Of speculation respecting Mr.. Bryan
and his probable course at ST. Louis
for which there is no foundation?
