Smith of Georgia.

The New York democrats were not happy
In the orator they selected to open their
national campaign. Not because they went
south for him. Our politics would be i'm
proved II more southern democrats were
heard in the north, and 1t were possible for
a few northern republicans to be heard in
the south. Such an arrangement would
work well for both parties and the whole
country. AS matters have for some time
stood, the north has missed a good deal OF
frankness and eloquence, and the south
good deal of hard-headed discussion of
practical business politics In which she is
so much interested
But Hoke Smith has a record which in
vites either a smile or a sigh AS MEM
Der of Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet he supported
his chief in the war on silver, and shared
in the victory which his chief. with the
aid of the republicans. achieved over the
white metal. That policy split the demo-
cratic party in twain, and paved the way
for the outburst of Organism at Chicago in
1896 Fire does Rot explain heat more sat

Cleveland administration toward silver ex-

Cleveland would do the fair thing by Sill
YER"
No sooner however. had Mr.. Smith made
his record than, in effect he repudiated IT,
The Georgia democrats would not stand
for 1t, but gave their Endorsement to Mr..
Bryan and his platform, and particularly
to the refusal of the Chicago convention TO
approve of the Cleveland administration
This settled Mr.. Smith. Assured that the
influence of the administration would be
thrown against the democratic ticket
either directly in favor of the republican
ticket, or. indirectly, in favor of the third
ticket-Mr Smith resigned from the cabl-
net and took his place in the Bryan ranks.
He kissed the rod that he had felt so
stingingly; and while his chief and his
former cabinet associates were standing up
for their performance on the money ques-
ton, this Georgia man was supporting the
policy of free silver at 16 to l, and doing
what he could to bring in an aggregation
pledged to reduce the finances of the coun-
try to what would actually have been
silver basis.
And now. shifting his position again. Mr.
Smith comes out earnestly for the goio
standard and lauds the work done by Mr.
Cleveland in behalf of it, but which he
himself ran away from at the behest OF
Mr.. Bryan and those who controlled the
democratic deiiverance of 1896. AS pro-
team artist Mr.. Smith deserves to rank
high. But as a spellbnder, appealing to
the independent vote of New York?

Lights ON Street Cars.

1t appears from the disposition in the
Police Court yesterday of the case against
Chevy Chase car line conductor. whose
trailer was smashed the other night by an
other train, that the police regulations are
sufficiently met il the rear car of a train
shows a light from within instead of from
the end The regulations require that
every street car in motion after shutdown
shall have two lights, one displayed on
each end thereof" The court held that
the roof lamp, illuminating the car itself.
sufficed. and that the absence of rear
light was merely a technical violation OF
the law for which the conductor was not
held responsible. The fact appeared to be
that the car light did show sufficiently to
warn the approaching motorinan. and the
presumption Is that the accident was
caused by his careiessness. Thus. the rule
may be regarded as established that light
which shines from the car Is sufficient for

chance to get away than though they had
all run to one port. 1t is yet to be dis
closed whether Togo's ships managed to
scatter in pursuit in such proportions and
with such success as to trace these various
subdivisions of the enemy and to be able
to engage them successfully when they
emerge under international compulsion.
Chefoo sends word of startling enter
prise on the part of the Japanese, who en-
tered that harbor after the Russian torpedo
boat destroyer had been. as claimed, dis
mantled, and after brisk bit of hand
fighting captured her and towed her out to
sea. This may prove to be cause for a
serious international complication. being
already construed as a violation of neu-
trail port. 1t will at all events give China
an opportunity to declare her sympathies
If she is now inclined to favor Japan, but
1t is apparently more likely that China will
regard the act as unwarranted and as IN
Wiling similar enterprises by Russia IN
case the war Is prolonged. The capture OF
the Ryetshitelski can avail Japan nothing
unless she can rehabilitate the vessel and
use her in the campaign. She was already
loss to Russia.
The exploit of the Russians in running
from Port Arthur somewhat resembles that
of Cervera in dashing out of Santiago har-
Dor when the American land forces were
closely pressing the town and about to
capture it. Only in this case the Russians
got through the Japanese line, perhaps by
virtue of policy of scattering. perhaps be-
cause the Japanese Gordon was not as
closely drawn around Port Arthur as that
of the United States was around Santiago.
Cervera risked all in run in one direction
and lost. Russia's admiral has saved at
least some of his ships for future maneu-
vering whatever may be their ultimate

than ordinary interest to the church
and citizens generally, and in conse.
quence the attendance on the occa-

family present were: Frank Ger
