OTHER SECTIONS LOSE POWER.

In seeking TO account for the fact
that at the present time the South is
not the political power it was some
fifty years ago, the New York CONNER
cial finds that it is due to the civil war
and the events growing out of it. The
Washington Post admits that this, In
a measure, is true, but contends that
it accounts for only a part of the
South's decrease IN power, and re-
marks that the Eastern and Middle
States, especially New England, have
lost much of their former. prestige.
The power they once possessed in the
affairs of the nation has departed,
never to be regained. It has followed
the star of empire westward, where
great States AID eat cities have
been created almost by magic. To
the population of these new States
the old States of the Nor,h have con
tributed largely, and IN this way have
lost political power, while at the pres
ent time the New England States are
rapidly increasing the political infu-
ence of the South by contributing tC
her wealth and prestige in the same
manner.

GROVER MAKES A FLAT DENIAL

The charge made by Tom Watson
of Georgia to the effect that Cleveland
had entertained the negro, Fred
Douglass, has brought forth an
emphatic denial from the ex-president
contained in a letter addressed TO the
Hon. Charles L. Bartlett, of Georgia,
in reply to query made by that gentle
man relative to Mr.. Watson's state
ment Mr.. Cleveland's answers clear
cut and unequivocal. He writes that
at "no time in his Official position,
whether alive or dead; waking or
sleeping; on his heels or his head has
he ever dined, supped or lunched
with any colored man, woman or child,
or invited one to any reception, etc.
''1f," he adds ST had desired to do so
neither fear of Mr.. Watson or anyone
else would have prevented" This
denial on the color line from Mr..
Cleveland gives the palm wholly to
Roosevelt, who dined with a negro,
invited them to social functions and,
so far from making any denial of 1t,
rather seems proud of his record

ne Hardness of Trees.
xpert nurseryman says tie la

Xpert nurseryman says the hard
or nonhardiness of trees depends
largely upon where the seeds from
which the trees in question sprang came
from. % Satisfactory results are seldom
experienced by planting a seed obtain
ed from the sunny south, say. BY plant
ing seeds generally farther north, how
ever, trees may be at length hardened
and acclimated until a seed from such
a tree may be reasonably expected to
thrive and mature it's fruits.
Trees, like people, acquire their hab-
It's from the climate in which they live.
The northern tree knows instinctively
when the time has come to ripen its
fruits. The southern tree follows the
same instinct, being in no hurry, as
there is little likelihood Of real cold.
With transplantings farther north it's
habit changes.
The great trouble with most people is
that they want to jump a tree from
south to north al one move. This same
idea is evident in the attempt to bring
various fruit trees from Russia to the
northern United States.

WILL INSTRUCT FOR PARKER,

The Atlanta Constitution says: ''If
the New York State convention, which
meets April IS, lnstructs for Parker,
the Constitution will urge the Demo-
cracy of other States to take that as
the cue for the party's National action,
on the basis that NewYork can better
express the sentiment of that State
than outsiders can do it. IF New York
does not send a Parker delegation to
the National convention, all the clubs
that Georgia might organize would
not nominate him for President at st.
Louis. Believing that New York is
certain to declare for Parker, and
being sure therefore, that the Consti-
tuition will be called upon to assist in
the effort to put this State in the
Parker column at st. Louisa duty
we will cheerfully perform when New
York leads the way" The Constitu-
ton might as well begin its effort to
put Georgia in the Parker column,
for Parker is going to be nominated.
