showed he was unbalanced, defective, degenerate and "crack-brained."
 MT. Watson says the Georgia law on in- sanity is harsh. there being no room to show that a criminal is semi-insane and hence not fully responsible before God and man. He mentions other similar mur- der cases in which the criminals got off with life sentences, and says;
 "The record shows that Glover has not had a fair trial It was an infamous thing for Boykin Wright to drag my name into the case for the purpose of inflaming political prejudice against the defendant. It was wrong in the judge to say that the venue ought to be changed and then allow Wright and Eve to bull doze him over night.
 From the pardon board I expected nothing General Evans is the father-ln- law of Judge Eve of the Augusta ring. Tom Eason is merely one of the old gang. Joe Sid Turner Is the man of the rape circular of 1894
 What had d populist like Glover. or popuist like me to expect from such a tribunal? Nothing. And We got noth- { ipg.
 From you. we did expect justice and we have not got it. Pardon me for speak ing plainly--it is a matter oe life and death and my feelings are ueeply sulleu.
 If this crack-brained degenerate Is hanged, it will be murder. Society has the right to put him where he can never again do harm; but society has no more right to kill him than it has to kill any other demented creature. The Augusta ring wants this mans life not so much because he killed a bad woman, as be- cause he was the most waring Tom Wat son man that bucked against the political rascality of which I was the victim
 "Boykin Wright wanted me assassnat- ed. and Glover was one of those who saved my life.
 'T had hoped that this consideration would have had some weight with you, but 1t seems that I was wrong"
 Governor Smith made searching in vestigaton into this case, as will be re- called but could find nowhere any ,ade- quate ground to justify clemency.
 Mr. Watson concludes his letter as fol- lows:
 This is the only personal appeal that I have made or will make to you, and I know that it is meritorious"

Put the county convicts to work on the county roads! The sentiment which the engineer of Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, voiced in his advice to Bir- mingham is spreading broadcast, and Sol Caheen goes to the root of the trouble when he cries, Down with the fee sys- temi''
 The claim is made that the eonvicts cannot be worked on the county roads because the proceeds of their labor must go to the fine and forfeiture fund. 'Abol- ish that fund, abolish the fee system and clear out these rings which use the coun- tvs money like water! Then put the convicts to work on the roads, give them good food and protection, prevent such things as Pig Ford deaths, and go ahead to put a network of roads in this county better than any other in the south7 said Mr. Caheen.
 There may be all sorts of impedi- ments in the way but they should all be overcome. The present method Of using convicts is out of the question. Tho board has a contract with the Tennessee company until next January and I un- derstand at that time the company will not be willing to pay the same prices. Let the Board of Revenue pay the fine and forfeiture fund SIP a head per month, and if that won't be enough let the fund take care of itself, until the legislature can abolish it, together with the fee sys- tenn which is the greatest evil in Ala bama today.
 "A campaign to do away with these things could not be begun too early. I would like to see the newspapers unite to fight it, and raise such a public sentiment against it that in the next campaign some giant will take up the issue and run for governor in the face of the court house rings.

He further stated that while this pre- scription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the entire kid ney structure, cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering.

1898. the United States would have been
unable. save by coercive methods. TO
utilize this virtually necessary port OF call
on the way to the Philippines. There Is
no calculation of the advantage to the
United States in having access to the
harbor of Honolulu during the months
between the outbreak of war and the for
NAL annexation of the islands. The long
voyage to and from Manila was broken.
and at Honolulu was found a resting
place for the sick and wounded from the
Philippines. Yet so lightly was this meal

only the most meager allowances were
made for the improvement of Hawaii and
the establishment of the necessary naval
equipment.
1t would have been perhaps economical
If the battleships in their transit from
San Francisco to Honolulu had been
seriously injured by a storm, necessitat-
ing heavy repairs at the Hawaiian port.
Then possibly the United States would
have awakened to a full understanding
Of its duty in the premises. AS it is, the
hope remains that this call of the fleet
at Honolulu will sufficiently bring the
subject into public notice to insure legis-
lation next winter looking to the tardy

Rotten Ties.

Yesterday the White Mountain express,
on the New York. New Haven and Hart
ford road. was wrecked at Greenwich,
Conn. One woman was killed and about
a score of passengers more or less seri-
ously injured. The wreck was obviously
caused by spreading of the track. and 1t is
believed that this In turn was due to the
rotten condition of the ties. The New
York, New Haven and Hartford road is
one of the best equipped and supposedly
best managed lines in the country. Yet
here is an evidence, assuming the theory
Of the wreck to be accurate. of the gross
est carelessness in the inspection of the
line. 1t is almost beyond comprehension
that on a road Of this character, with a
trafiic as heavy as any in the country at
this point. ties should be in use In such a
weak condition as to permit the spikes to
pull and the track to spread. The public
has every right to expect track inspec-
ton system which will guarantee against
disasters from such a cause. There may
be an excuse for the breaking of rail
from some hidden defect in the steel, but
there is no possible excuse for a wreck
caused by a spreading of the track due to
the rotten state Of ties on which it is laid.
Somebody should suffer severely for this
form of criminal negligence.

Hawaii and the Fleet.

The battleship fleet arrived at Honolulu
yesterday and was given an enthusiastic
welcome by the islanders. There Is no
wonder that the Hawaiians are aroused
to such a pitch of patriotism over the
advent of the war vessels. Although
they have been a member of the Ameri-
can family for ten years. they have re-
ceived practically no consideration at the
hands of Congress as such. Situated mid
way In the Pacific, in the line of trade,

wall should long ago have been developed
as "A naval base and the center of Pacific
operations. So little has been, In fact,
expended there in the development of the
harbor and the erection Of the necessary
works for the evolution of modern naval
station that the Hawaiians have reason
to think Congress does not fully appre-
cate the advantages offered by the pos
session Of the archipelago.

"Pluggin' Away"

Pluggin' away from day to day.
The wind keeps pressin' across the bay.
Pushin' the lazy sails along:
Sometimes breathin' tender song,
An sometimes snortin' in anger rash,
Wantin' to blow things clean to smash!
But always, though skies be blue or gray.
Jes' pluggin' away!
Pluggin' away from night to night
The moon comes shinin' SO still an white,
An the stars come trailfn' across the sky,
AS they've done through countless nights
gone by.
The colors Of twilight shine an pass.
An the dew-drop dies on the medder
grass.
The whole big business, sad or gay,
Keeps pluggin' away!
Pluggin' away from year to year,
The flowers blossom an disappear;
The winter melts in the smile of spring.
An the saplin' widens with one more
ring.
So where's the reason in me or you
Complainin' Of work that we've got to do,
When everything else in this vast display
Keeps pluggin' away?

Anti-lmperialisIu.

Many, if not all, things work for the
best Those democrats who have been
srieving because of the failure of the
Gray boom at Denver may find comfort
in the declaration of the Aguinaldo Aid
Society of Boston for Mr.. Bryan on the
Philippine issue. Suppose Judge Gray had
been nominated for either first or second
place. The society could not have sup
ported him. He is associated with the
enslavement of the Filipinos. He voted
to buy them at so much per head, and
thus became an instrument of despotism
Could he have won without the society's
support? Can Mr.. Bryan win with it?
But that's another story
