The Presidents Man.

Inc TrGS1OeuC NAL.
There is considerable curiosity as to
whom the President has in mind for the
governorship, but politicians today pro-
fessed to be in ignorance. Gov Higgins
anxiety as to his own health and his vast
business interests. as expressed in an in
terview, lead some of the republicans to
think that the governor has cause to be-
leve that the President is not for him.
1t is expected that there will be a clean
sweep of the republican state committee,
and that all of Odells friends will be elm
mated. The impression is that the Presi-
dent intends to take complete control or the
state machinery through his friends, and 10
clean out the other organization. There is
good deal of talk today among well-posted
republicans about Lieut.. Gov. Lynn Bruce
as dark horse in the gubernatorlal race.
1t is pointed out that while he was elect
ed lieutenant governor through the eforts
of the Odell machine, he is Rooseveit
man. and is likely to be the Presidents
friend throughout the state. Some of the
politicians were talking today about Mr.
Bruce being a candidate who might unite
the republican factions If he should prove
to be acceptable to President Roosevelt
His nomination it is said, would mitigate
the sting of the defeat which the Odell
men have suffered. However, this Is only
part of the gossip of the day, for the peo-
pie who INDUCED in it admitted that they
presidential kind.
Parsons or Barnes.
Politicians think that either Representa-
tive Herbert Parsons William Barnes,
jr, will be President Roosevelts choice for
chairman of the state committee to succeed
Boss Odell. Mr.. Parsons is president OF
the county committee. and is recognized as
President Roosevelts personal representa-
tive in city politics. Mr.. Barnes has
wider acquaintance with state politics.
Everybody is wondering what Tammany
Leader Murphy will do with his delegation
at Buffalo. II don't know what we are go
ing to do said a Murphy partisan today
The boss is talking for Hearst all the time,
but you can't tell what will happen" The
hesitation of Murphy is due to the firm
stand taken by Big" Tim Sullivan. who
has been goaded to anger by the attacks
of Hearst newspapers. He has declared
that there will be trouble in the organiZa-
ton if Murphy tries to ram Hearst down
his throat Sulzer has been used a
stalking horse by the Sulivans to give
them a chance to remain uncommitted for
or against Hearst. Should Mayor McClel-
Ian openly accept Sulzer and work with the
Sullivans they might, it is said, force Muir
ply to take him. n. .. M.

TOO SENSITIVE.

correspondent whose card appears on
this page, signing himself "A Yankee" takes
rather strenuous exceptions to criticism OF north"
erners in the south.
Our correspondent must not make the mis-
take of gauging southern sentiment or southern
people by the utterances or action of few
cranks.
There may be few pre- JUDGED mossbacks
both north and south, who have nothing better
to do than to spend their time in visiting male
dictions upon other sections of their country.
But the better sentiment, the progressive
spirit of the south, which everywhere predomI-
mates today, has no patience with that unneces.
sary and unfouuded prejudice, more than il
is approved by the better sentiment of the
north.
The trouble with "A Yankee" is he has
been lis ening to these cranks. In his
sentiveness he has permitted himself to be rub
bed the wrong way.
Suppose the thousands OF good citizens who
have emigrated from the south to find northt rn
bones were fyrever treadiug egg shells,
IA Yankee" seems TO be dong. That sec
ton could, no doubt, match the cracks in the
south and then have some 10 spare. II south
ernors in the north took the same vie " does
"a Yankee" that section would lose some of its
most substanual citizens.
Continuing, IA Yankee" SUCCESS that
monument to Captain Wirz will not prove
drawing card. What difference does it make
to him? What difference TO anybody anv-
where, if some good Georgia wom-n see fit to
EJECT monument to Captain Wiz? Il is their
sff. .ir and nobody else has anything else to do
with it. II is iu eXpr SSlve of any ad-
verse sentiment on the part of the state of
the south. No more is it the business of the
south or any other section or people, if citizens
of Kansas erect monument to John Brown or
Massachusetts to Thad Stevens or Weudel
Philips. Let them do it if they want to 1t is
their IF ir and nobody in the south objects.
II "a Yankee" aod Others in his position
will quit listening to the cranks and get in line

THAT PISTOL BUSINESS AGAIN.

Two more men dropped at the mouf of that
most vlainous of weal ops, the pocke'.pis'ol
One was an ordinary 6eld-haud ] here vas
the usual hot supper, the usual mean liquor and
meaner pistol, the usual brawl death at the end
of it. This mornipg. instead of pursuing his
humble but useful calling the man is corpse.
The most villainous of all weapons has robbed
him of bis life and deprived the state of one
more intiger in that most important factor, its
labor.
The other man was superb specimen OF
that superb type, the old Confederate line officer
Five times was he wounded, each time in pitch"
ed battle of the first gni'ude, and just as sot
out of the surgeons hands, he came back to the
head of his company and not infrequently to
lead his regiment. In his case there we're the
usual words, the usual whipping out Of the same
villianous weapon, and death again.
What are we going to do about these coz.
stantly recurring tragedies? Are we going TO
emit our customary groan and then relapse our
usual solidity, or we going to take the pistol
problem in hand and solve il?
For one we think womansh wailipg is out
of order and it is time to do mans work. Our
memters of the legislature throughout the State
must be made to understand that they are not
sent to Atlanta for the sole and simple purI ose
of creating new Offices and levying fresh taxes
They must be made to understand and to un.
derstand very distinctly, that they are sent
there to cope with the grave problems which con.
front the people of this state and prominent
among them the pistol problem.
We need a statute ou' 'lawing the pocket pis-
tol. The sale thereof must be forbidden and
the bare possession of the tn ny made a crime
II the iizens need protective weapon, let him
get him defensive weapon-a II or shotgun
If the officers of the law need pom, let it be
done as is wisely done in the police force of this
city, where the duly constituted authorities pro.
vid proper arm, which belongs to them, and
reverts to them when the officer leaves the ser.
vice Let the sale of pocket pistols be totally in-
hibited and let substantial reward be paid for
each infraction of the statue brought to the
knowlege of the prose cutors.
This lays the axe to the root.-Augusta
Chronicle.
The Enterprise is opposed to pistols.
We are opposed TO carrying it concealed,
we are opposed to the sale of such a terrible
instrument of death that is SO easily concealed,
We are opposed to the mauufacture of the deV.
lish things. A civilized country does not need
them.
The pistol is a relic of barbarism an out
cropping Of the bar barous ns inCt.

DisrneIi's Retirement.

In 1876 Mr. DiSraeii was raised bS
the queen to the peerage under the
title OF Lord Beaconsficld, and he left
the house of commons before the news
of his elevation 70 the house of lords
had been made public. His withdraw
al from the stage where he had played
so long the leading part in Il manner
obviously devised to avoid any sort OF
ovation was in accordance with the
dignity which characterized the re.
naming years of his life after the de-
feat of the Conservatives. when the
general election of 1850. in consequence
of the Midlothian campaign, had ter
minated his public career No appli-
cant for his opinions on any subject
ever received a postal card from Lord
Bcaconsfieli. No speech was ever
made by him at railway stations. He
died in 1881 as he had lived-alonc, Il
stranger amid a strange people After
bis death his memory became to Eng
fish Conservatives an object of almost
sentimental affection: to English Radi-
Gals it remained an object of never
failing animosity. But to Englishmen
OF all politics. to Conservatives and
Liberals alike, his life continues to be
a constant puzzle, an unsolyed enigma.

How grand is the hawk or the eagle

how beautiful are song birds. each in

sparrow with head thrown back, the

raised wings! Those who have spent
much time in watching birds in the
field know how differently the various
birds perch, fly. run climb or feed
The warblers catch flies, but they do
not do it in such an interesting way as
do the true fly catChers. We come to
know bird by the fight or walk just
as we know other friends by their gait
or even by the sound of their tread.
In fight the wings of many different
birds make peculiar sounds whereby
we may know the birds even if they
themselves are out of sight. 1t is not

No other country has so many super
stitions about marriage as China. The
Chinese never marry within Il hundred
days after a death has taken place in
the family of either the bride or groom,
for if they do they believe domestic

seems to be no reason for this beiiet,
and the Chinese do not attempt to eX
plain it, but are willing TO let it 20
