Would BE Brief.

A lawyer of the good old Southern
type, says the New York Tribune, had
argued for three court days without
pause. His brief was masterful
piece of classical learning and legal
erudition, but it was tiresome.
Maj. Sigsbee," said the wearied
judge at last, without wishing to in
innate In any way that the court
would not be delighted to listen to
your whole argument, I must suggest
that the docket is somewhat crowded
and that if you could condense a lit
tie it might help your clients cause. "
The attorney smiled his acknowledg-
ment. "Yo' honoh,' he exclaimed. the
thought was in my mind when I pre-
pared my argument! sub, fob the next
fo' days my brief is a perfect mahvaI

LIFE PREsERVERs AND LIFE
RnATS

The charge has been made and will be
Investigated that the life preservers of
the Gen. Slocum were worthless and
that the crew were unfamiliar with The
launching of life boats and life RATS.
And while the investigation is in
progress would it not be as well to in
vestigate the question as to whether
the life preservers on other steamboats,
and steamships are serviceable and of
good material? And wouldn't it be adj
visable to find out whether the crews Of
steam vessels generally are properly
drilled in the launching of life boats
and life RATS?
1t will be recalled that after the great
theater fire in Chicago all of the the
aters were closed until they had COM
piled with the law making them prac-
tically fire proof. An investigation
showed that the laws on the subject
had been systematically evaded.
At all of the coast and lake cities
there are steam vessels engaged in car
rylng excursion parties. Are these
steamers complying with the law in the
matters of life preservers and fire APP
paratus2 Are their crews regularly
drilled in the launching of life boats
and life RATS? These are questions that
ought to be answered at once. And
about sea-going steamers, are they
complying in all respects with the laws
for the protection OF passengers? Now
is the time TO have this matter thor
oughly inquired into. because there is
a public sentiment that calls for a rigid
inspection OF steam vessels and for the
enforcement Of the laws for the pro-
lection of travellers on them. A month
hence the Gen. Slocum disaster will be
forgotten By the general public, and

THE PERDTCARTs AFFAIR.

Now that Perdicaris, the American
citizen living at Tangier. who was cap
tured by bandits, will soon be
released, the Sultan of Morocco
having agreed to all the demands
of the bandit leader, Raisuli, it seems
pertinent to inquire if our government
hasn't taken a great deal of trouble
to secure the liberty of a man who
cares so little about his country as
not to live in it. We do not mean to
say of course that our government
should have left Perdicaris to his fate,
but doesn't he owe something to It?
Here is a man who has lived at
Tangier the greater part of his life.
II is probable that most Of his property
is there. His friends are certainly there.
The chances are that nearly all the
taxes ne pays are paid in Tangier, and
yet when he is captured by bandits
he doesn't look to the authorities of
the place of his residence for assist
ance, but to the government of the
country that he has practically aban-
doned. Is not this an altogether one
sided arrangement?
The climate and associations at Tan
gier may be more agreeable to him
than are the climate and people Of the
United States, but if he prefers to live
under the government of Morocco
would it not be advisable for him to
change his allegiance to that govern
ment?
His affair with the bandit. Raisuli,
has cost this government a good deal
OF trouble, besides the expense of
sending a number OF warshlps to Tan
gier. II Perdicaris ever expected to
come back TO this country, or had lived
here at any time IN recent years, there
would be less disposition 10 complain
that the government had gone 10 a
good deal Of trouble on his account.
but the understanding seems 10 be
that he has shaken the dust OF this
country on his feet forever.

The late Sir Edwin Arnold had a
great many stories in illustration of
japanese traits, says Golfers Weekly.
THE Japanese gardeners" he once
said, have carried their art further
than we have carried ours. A land
scape gardener in Japan is esteemed
highly. He is looked on quite as we
look on a poet or a painter.
And these Japanese gardeners are,
truly, remarkable men. was riding
with one of them near Kioto on an
August afternoon and we came to a

Tell me- I said, how would you

The Morning News yesterday pub
lished an interesting interview with
Hon. James NJ. Smith on agriculture
and politics. He is one of the best
informed and most prosperous citizens
of North Georgia. The fact that he
is a delegate-at-large to the st. Louis
convention is proof of his popularity
Would it be anything more than just
compliment to Mr.. Smith to make him
the Georgia member of the Committee
on Resolutions at that convention?
Representative Maddox is the chair
man of the delegation, he hay
ing received the highest. number of
votes at the recent State Convention
and as Mr.. Smith received the next
highest number, it would seem as if he
were entitled to the honor of serving
on the Committee on Resolutions. If
he should be chosen for the place the
Democracy of this state would have
no reason to regret the choice.
The Illinois Democrats in their plat
forms "denounce all teachings and
forms of organizations which tend to
group people in classes and castles as
inimical TO our civilization and de-
structive of free institutions" But,
pshaw; that won't do! The country
couldn't well get along without the
Colonial Danes, the Daughters of the
American Revolution, Sorosis, the w.
c. T. L. and the Y. w. c. A, not to
mention the Sons Of the Revolution,
the Society of the Cincinnati and some
hundreds of secret and select orders.
In so far as this matter is concerned,
the Illinois convention was simply
talking through its hat.
