PREFERABLE.

TOHN HUM has illustrated almost
every quality that a governor should
not possess. He has shown a sub
serviency to Addicks Layton and Alice
that IS pitiable. lie has made his pub
lie acts conform to the wishes Of his
masters and through it all he has
made plain that his only ideal is to
serve the machine
Yet we say frankly that John Hum
as the nominee Is preferable to a man
who has watched the trend OF Addicks-
ism-the unfolding Of its policies, its
corruption and its brutal disregard Of
deoency without by word or a sign
allowing his opinions to become
known.
Addicksism is the supreme issue IN
this state Does anybody imagine that
it can be evaded? Can we imagine a
candidate who has lived in an atmos-
phere so far removed from political
strife that he hasn't formed an opinion
one way or the other? Nay, nay Paul
met But there are plenty of men who
have deliberately assumed the role OF
neutral while living in the midst Of a
contest so vital to every public interest.
Better a straight-out Addicks man
than a man who is lacking a spine.

FIREON STEAMSHIP.

After nearly laundering on one side OF
the Atlantic, the Hamburg American
liner Psllanza, which arrived lat Hall
fax. n. S. yesterday from Hamburg, was
seriously threatened by fire which
broke out when the steamer was within
500 miles of the American coast. For
five hours the crew worked with unabat-
ed energy to subdue the flames which
ragged in the cargo, and finally conquered
them by the injection of steam into the
hold. Although there was intense ex-
citement among the 1876 passengers,
there was no panic.
The FIRE was discovered on the morning
of the 18th, while the Pallanza was la
boring in a heavy gale. Within few
moments great volumes of smoke IRON
the burning cargo we're pouring out OF
the hatchways. Several lines Of hose
were sent down and great quantities OF
water pumped into the hold. The water
apparently made but little impression
upon the flames. Then steam pipes were
led over to the hatchway and sent down,
and three hours later the flames began to
subside. When it was announced an
hour later that the fire was under control
the passengers broke into prolonged
cheers.
Starting from Hamburg January ~
the Pallanza's troubles began before sh'
was scarcely clear of the European
coast. On January 26 she encountered
a westerly gale that tore the guys iron
the smokestack and broke the funnel a
it's base. So furious was the gale tha
it was impossible for the steamer to lay
TO. and her head was kept into the storm
while the crew by hard work secured tn
funnel with tackles. Two days late
another gale was encountered, whic
ripped off the deck ladders, carrie
away several boats, and smashed a POI
ton of the bridge.
Capt. Schasrmberg decided to put il
TO the Azores, and arrived at y
Michaels on February 2. After maxim
repairs, the Pallauzs proceeded. Nearl
ali the passengers landed at Halifax

Mustarions Murder.

George B. Jennings, president of the
Jennings Adjustable Shade Company,
was shot and killed yesterday, in his
Office in Brooklyn, by Frank Mcnamara,
superintendent Of one of the departments
of the Illinois Watch Case Company 5
factory at Elgin, III. According to two
Of Jennings clerks, who were IN the
Office. Jennings and Mcnamara were en-
gagged in heated dispute, the subject OF
which is unknown, when McNarama
thrust a revolver against Jennings side
and fred, the bullet passing through his
heart. and death ensuing instantly. Nc
Namara threw away his revolver and
ran out into the street, pursued by the
two clerks. who captured him and turned
him over to the police. Mcnamara re-
fused to saw why he shot Jennings. He
went to Brooklyn a week ago from Elgin
where. it is said, he has a wife and eight
children. Jennings served as cap ain
in the Fourteenth Brooklyn regiment in
the Spanish war. He leaves widow
and three children. Mcnamara was
formerly employed in watch factory al
Sag Harbor. l.. /. 1t Is said that about
wear ago he declared that he saw Jen'
nings coming out of his house at that place
late at night. From this 1t is surmIseo
tha. jealousy was the cause ofthe murder.
Jennings is said to have exclaimed
Crank you're wrong" a momen
before the fatal shot was fired.

BRYAN ON CLEVELAND.

William Jennings Bryan, who arrived
at Atlanta yesterday, from Florida,
speaking of the article by Grover Cleve-
land in the Saturday Evening Post
said
"The article is in line with his utter
ances for the last three years. During
the campaign of 1900, when imperialism
was the paramount issue, and when we
were pointing out the dangers of q CO.
lonial policy, he was silent. As soon as
the election was over and the trusts frm-
" Installed for the next four years he
came out from his hiding place and
began to offer advice to the democratic
party. He has ventured to repeat that
advice at intervals ever since. In
his later utterance he speaks gravely OF
the dangers of Imperialism, to which
he seemed so Indifferent when bis party,
or rather his former party, handicapped
bv the iniquities of his former admins
tration, was laboring to prevent
surrender of national ideals. lie Is
now predicting success to the party
if it will follow his instructions. And
vet all who know him, who are ac-
ouainted with his career, know that he
would not vote for candidate running
on the Ten Commandments if the candl-
date had not secretely mortgaged himself
to Wall street and agreed to obey with
out questioning any order emanatlng
therefrom. He knows that the men VINO
have commercialized the party and de-
baucbed politics want him nominated,
and would contribute more to his candl
dacy than to the candidacy OF any other
man. republican or democrat, because
thew know that there is a wider gap be-
tween his professions and his practices
than there has ever been in recent years
between the professions and practices OF
any other public man. His career has
shown how completely the conscience
can be separated from the mind IN the
performance of duty"
"What do you think of the statement
by Mr.. Cleveland that he is a member
of the rank and file of the democratic
party?"
81 will admit, with pleasure, that he
is rank but | will deny that he is one
of the file. That's my view as to his
being member of the rank and file.
The democrats should reafirm the Kan
sas City platform, free silver and all
concluded Mr.. Bryan.
