RETIREs FROM CONTEST,

AS the direct result of The Morris
osborne newspaper controversy Hon.
Walter Steed, who was candidate for
the presidency of the Senate, retires
from the contest, the guns of Mr.. Os-
borne having been trained upon that
position. In a lengthy card published
yesterday Mr.. Steed sets forth his
reasons for retiring from the race. The
harmony and welfare of the democra-
tic party, he says, is more important
than the elevation of any individual to
office, and while he had an honorable
am bl ion to be president of the next
senate, yet he thinks this ambition
should yield to the best interest and
harmony and welfare of thel party,
which is the only safeguard and pro-
lection Of our social and political
status. Mr.. Steed, as stated in his let
ter, is not willing to allow his ambi-
ton to be elected president of the Sen.

LANIER's POEM ON COTTON.

In connection with the talk about
reducing the cotton crop, the follow
ing amusing poem by Sidney Lanier,
entitled Jones Private Argument" is
recalled:
That air same Jones which lived in Jones,
He had this pint about him;
He'd swear with hundred signs and groans
That farmers must stop gettin loans,
And get along without em;
That bankers, ware housemen and SIGH
Was fatt'nin' on the planter
And Tennessy was rotten-rlCh
A-ra'sin meat and corn, all which
Draw'd mohey to Atlanter
And the only thing Says Jones) to do
Is, eat no meats that boughten;
But tear up every 1 o L,
And plant all corn and swear for true
To quit a-raisin cotton
Thus spouted Jones (whar folks could hear.
At court and other gathernsl,
And thus KEEP spouun' many year
ProClaimtn loudly far and near
SIGH fddlesticks an blatherin's.
But, one alfred sweatin' day.
Ithappened I was hoein
NY lower corn-field, which it lay
'Longslde the road that runs my way,
Whar l can see what's goin'.
And after twelve o'clock had come
felt a kinder faggin',
And laid myself un'neath plum
Toilet my elmer settle sum,
When long come Jones Vaughn.
And Jones was settin in it, so;
A-readin' of paper.
His mules was eoIn powerful slow.
Fur he had tied the lines onto
The staple of the scraper.
The mules they stopped about a rod
From E, and went to feedIn
'Longside the road upon the sod,
But Jones (Which he had tuck nod

And presently says he: Hits true;
That Clisby's head is level.

In connection with the talk about
reducing the cotton crop, the follow
ing amusing poem by Sidney Lanier,
entitled Jones Private Argument" is
recalled:
The San Francisco call., 1905-06-11

C., grocer at Twenty-fifth and Church
streets, requested Judge Mogan to de-
clare null and void the complaint of wife
beating which she had filed and which at
the time of filing she was determined to
prosecute most relentlessly.
Her change Of intention, Mrs Ebling
explained. was caused partly by Henry's
altered behavior toward her and partly
by newspaper Misrepresentation of her
self and her past. After Henry's arrest
| and release on bail he fairly deluged her
with endearments, punctuated with ex-
pressions of regret and pledges OF reform,
and she no longer had the heart to con-
sign such an excellent spouse TO incar-
ceration As for the complained of press
statements anent herself, they depicted
her as a former daughter of one of Dom
Paups regiments of sharpshooters, while
the fact was that she did not see actual
field service during her entire sojourn in
the Transvaal, although her sympathy
was with her countrymen in their strug-
gle to maintain national independence. 1t
was true that since her marriage to Hen
ry she had supported herself by manu-
featuring sausages and peddling them in
two-horse wagon, also that with her
own fair hands she groonled and feeds the
animals. The primal cause Of the con-
jugal tiff" was, she might inform the
court, Henrys assertion that she did not
know now to properly cook beans The
criticism piqued her, because she had
made a speciality of cooking beans dur
ing the troublous times in South Africa.
and it was just possible that her retort
to Henry was sufficiently exasperating to
justify him in striking her. At any rate,
she was willing to let bygones be by
cones. and would the Judge please order
Henry's dismissal?
ION one condition I will accede to your
request" was the response, land 1t is
that IL difference of opinion over bean
cookery or anything else should disturb
your restored domestic felicity, you and
Henry will fight 1t out at home"
The lady promised and Henry was dis
charged.
Mrs. Mary Deneavi of 301 Fifteenth
street told Judge Mogan that no meas
ures less drastic than the execution of
the pointer dog that bit her seven
year r-old son would suffice to allay her
maternal misgiving. When the child
was bitten last Sunday she went to the
grocery of ]. T. Hening. 122 Vermont
street, where the offending animal
headquartered, and there informed a
lady of what had occurred and demand
ed that the dog be led forth that very
day and put to death. She was prom
ised that the expiation should take
