Sunny" the Beautiful Em-
press of Russia. Her Won
derful Romance.

The most beautiful queen of any
throne she has long been called. -
Kellogg Durland thus begins his
marvellous life story of the Tsaritsa
of Russia in the September Woman's
Home Companion. ''She is tall and
stately; her hair is luxuriant and
rich in color. Eyes that some call
blue and some call gray look out
through long, dark lashes, ard in
them lies a great sadness, an appeal
ing usefulness touched with regret,
silent melancholy. Yet as a child
she was known as Sunny
The life story of Sunny has new
er been told in English. This is
curious, because there probably is
not person in the world who would
not like to hear the wonderful ro-
nance of how a poor little German
princess became a great sovereign,
the co-ruler of one of the vastest en-
plres on earth, the mistress of a fab
ulOusly rich and bewilderingly ex-
travagant court, and perhaps the
most powerful woman in Europe.
Sunny was the childhood nickname
of this poor little princess, and after
"a quiet girlhoOd, when there was a
constant struggle to maintain ap-
pearance, she was cOurted by a way
ward gallant who was heir to a
mighty crown. Sunny lost her
heart to the royal wooer, and he.
putting aside the less noble loves of
his reckless, youthful days, pledged
himself to her-persistently courted
her against wide pposition-turned
deaf ear to he councils of emperors
and queens who tried to discourage
the match, and after years of bat
thing with diplomatic intrigue and
personal restraint he carried his pur-
pose, married the German princess.
who was truly the bride of his heart,
and raised her from the obscurity
and poverty of her own home to the
rank of empress. This is the story of
Princess AliX of Hesse, whom Nicho-
las ii made Tsaritsa of Russia"

AT LOGGERHEADS.

We don't know why it is, but there
always has been an unfriendly spirit
between the lower house of the gen
eYaI assembly and the senate. These
TWO bodies seldom work together
tremendously. The present legisla-
aInI 9ql o. Uond9oXe on 81 eLnl
This feeling of jealousy has cropped
out in a pronounced way in the con-
sideration of the convict question,
and in stubborn fight as to which
shall have it's way the extra session
may be continued several weeks.
The house has, by a vote of SO to
50, passed the Holder bill, which
provides for a continuance of the
lease system two years under some
notifications and stricter regula-
tons, when it is to terminate and
the convicts employed in some other
way-on the public roads or on
state farm.
On the other hand, twenty-three
senator's, a sufficient number to pass
measure, have attached their names
TO and introduced bill providing for
Immediate adjustment of the lease
system, the adjustment of the pris-
on commission. the creation of a
board of control consisting of the
governor, encouragement and COM
missioner of agriculture, and also
for the creation of a road commits
sioner, and the working of the con-
victs on the public roads. The bill
also provides for an income tax on
all persons, firms and corporations
OF one half of one per cent
1t is not probable that the two
bodies will be able to agree on either
one of these measures, and the talk
and fuss between them may go on
Indefinitely
And in the meantime the people
will foot the bill to the tune of
$4,000 a day.

A NEGLECTFUL COMMISSION.

The committee of the legislature
appointed to investigate the charges
against the prison commission re-
ports that the commission, though
honest and having good intentions,
has been neglectful of it's duties. 1t
could not have dealt more kindly
with the commission in view of the
testimony. No doubt the commission
IS competent enough, but it might
as well be incompetent as neglect
ful. The law hasn't been enforced,
and the commissions rules and reg
ulations have been ignored.
1t really looks, says the Savannah
News, as if the commission didn' t
bother itself much about the treat
ment the cOnvicts received. 1t relied
upon reports of wardens, and these
wardens and guards were in the pay
Of both the state and the lessees. 1t
does seem as if the commission
should have known that its own en-
ployes were in the employ of the
lessees, but it seems it didn't. 1t
wasn't to be expected that the guards
and wardens who were getting addi-
tiOnal pay from the lessees would
keep the commission fully posted as
10 what was going on in the convict
camps. A guard or a warden who
would see too much and inform the
commission what was going on in the
camps might not get the additional
compensation the lessees were pay
ing. In fact, the chances are the
1essees would find way to get rid
of an Objectionable employee of the
state.
What is going to be the outcome
Of the investigation? If the lease
system is to continue a year or two
lOnger-lOng enough to get the nee.
essary money with which to inaugu.
rate another system-there is one
thing certain. 1t is that the people
don't want any more scandals con
nected with the convicts. There is
40 need for scandals, such as the
public has been made acquainted
with in the last two months, or o.
any other kind, if those in authority
do their duty faithfully"

Democrats Prn.Tenn

From the cambridge Search Light.
There are two kinds of democrats
in this great country. The one is the
true blue kind, and the other is the
democrat pro TEN. The one is not
essentially different from the other.
except as to his ideas of consistency
and fealty. The democrat pro TEN
is the fellow who totes logs with you
as long as the log-rolling is over in
his field, but who drops the stick the
moment it is suggested that there are
logs over in your field to be rolled
The democrat pro tenn is a rather
bigOtted cuss. He enters the contest
for office, and bestirs himself early
and late. If he wins his man he lays
down the law that you must stand
up to the nominee. But if he loses
he is found sulking in his tent dis
paraging the hopes of the nominee.
and giving vent to his spleen against
the regularly nominated candidate of
his party. 1t makes little difference
whether he votes the ticket of his
party or not, if he contributes to
the defeat of the candidate. There
are democrats por TEN in Georgia.

THE CITY COURT.

In the last several months a great
deal has been printed in The News
about the City Court of Dawson.
Both sides have been given and have
used space freely to air their views,
and Notwithstanding all that has
been written it is doubtful if the
public know any more about the
court than they knew before.
While figures, it is said, never lie,
almost anything can be proved by
them. especially in regard to the
City Court of Dawson. Statistics have
been marshaled in formidable array
to show that the court is not only
mOney-saver to the county in dis
posing of litigation and misdemeanor
prosecutions in the most economical
way, but that it actually pays large
sums into the public treasury. On
the other hand, those who are OPP
posed to the court have shown just
as positively with figures that the
court is a heavy financial burden on
the people, and is making the tax
rate oppressive.
What is the truth about it? The
News must confess that it does not
know, and we very much doubt if
There is a man who does know what
the facts really are.
The City Court is the peoples. 1t
belongs to them, and not to the men
who would keep it for their own
financial benefit or those who would
abolish it for some personal reason
or those whose opposition is politi-
cal. If it is of advantage to the
county and saves the people money
they want to keep it. If it is not,
if it is troublesome and expensive to
the people and of no benefit to them
as a whole, they want to get rid
of it.
There is but one way in which
they can act intelligently, and that
is to learn the true facts. There
is but one way to do this, and that
is by a thorough and unbiased inves-
ttgation of the records of the City
Court by some competent person.
The next grand jury, when it meets
this Fall, should take this matter up
and employ some one who can do it
intelligently to go thoroughly into
the records and ascertain how many
cases have been tried in the City
Court in a given time, how many
fines have been imposed and how
much of them has been collect
ed, to whom the money has been
paid and for what, and how much
money has actually gone into the
county treasury as net proceeds from
the court
In this way the people can find
out for themselves what they want
to do about the City Court and stop
the agitation.

A STRAW TODAY.

Vermont is holding her state cleo

something of a political barometer,
and as either party makes gains in
Vermont the fact is heralded abroad
as presaging a national victory for

There is no question as to how the
election will go, but as to what the
republican majority will be- Nor

10000 to 1900 votes in the state,
while the republicans show 10000

ceive as much as 10000 votes it
would be counted a democratic vic
tory, while a poll of $4,000 for him
would be hailed with delight by his
party.

REAL GREATNESS.

Under the head of Real Great
ness" Mr.. Bryan says: Christ has
given us a measure of greatness
which eliminates conflict. When His
disciples disputed among themselves
as to which should be greatest in the
kingdom of heaven He rebuked them
and said; Let him who would be
chieftest among you be the servant
of all" Service is the measure of
greatness; it always has been true,
it is true today and it always will
be true that he is greatest who does
the most of good. And yet, what a
revolution it will work in this old
world when this standard becomes
the standard of every life. Nearly
all of our controversies and combats
arise from the fact that we are try
ing to get something from each other
there will be peace when our aim
is to do something for each other.
Our enmities and animosities arise
from our efforts to get as much as
possible out of the wOrld-there will
be peace when our endeavOr is to
put as much as possible into the
world. Society will have taken an
immeasurab step toward peace
when it estimates a citizen by his
output rather than by his income
and gives the crown of his approval
to the one who makes the largest
contribution to the welfare Of all.

THE CHOICE OF WEAPONS.

From the Savannah News.
Mr.. Yancey Carter, the guberna-
torial nominee of the Independence
party, has challenged Mr.. Joseph NJ.
Brown, the gubernatoriaI nominee of
the democratic party, to joint de-
bate. We don't know whether Mr..
Brown intends to accept it or not,
but as the challenged party he has
the choice of weapons. He isn't a
speech maker, but that he can write
there is no doubt. Therefore, we
see nothing in the way of his accept
ing the challenge and naming the
pen as the weapon.
1t will be recalled that Governor
Smiths friends said he would make
mince meat, as it were of Mr.. Brown
/ in the recent primary but it didn't
turn out that way. The governor
made many speeches, but Mr.. Brown
came back at him with letters so
convincing that when the ballots
were counted at the close of the pri-
mary it was found that Mr.. Brown
had about 10000 majority
If Mr.. Carter should get a joint
discussion upon terms Mr.. Brown
would name if he should accept the
formers challenge it is probable that
he wouldn't realize he was in the
running by the time the interesting
debate was ended. Mr. Brown is
about as clever with his letters as
the most successful orators are with
their speeches. He has the faculty
of seeing the salient points of public
questions and of Selling upon and
discussing them in way that i'm
presses the people favorably. He
doesn't waste time upon non-essen-
tails, and he doesn't bother with
statements that carry their own refu-
tation. He goes right at the points
, of subject, and when he has had
his say there isn't much that is i'm
portant for his opponent to say.

Henry WatterSOn, the Man in

Commenting upon the fact that the
Louisville Courier-Journal under the
editorship of Col Henry Watterson,
will lead the newspaper support of
Bryan in the coming campaign the
Baltimore Sun INDUCES its humorous
vein with the following result:
Colonel Watterson, We believe, is
the greatest living literary man. His
vocabulary is illimitable; his style is
electric; his figures of speech are
overpowering. He is mighty
phrasemaker; an author, inventor,
and originator of epigrams that will
never die-no, never. His compost

metaphors, tropes and images The

a master of rhyme and consonances:
Things have come to a HI of a
pass
When a man can't wallop his own
jackass."
He writes blank verse, too:
Eating huckleberries all day long
And learning how to love"
He sings rhymes and philosophy
with magnificent lavishness; he is
never at a loss for a word, clause,
sentence, paragraph, chapter, book,
tome, treatise or library. He has
written more than 10000 articles on
the Hayes-Tilden controversy, and is
still going at full speed He has
supported Bryan, denounced Bryan,
annlhilated Bryan, resurreCted Bry-
an. His arguments against the Ne
braskan were final and unanswera-
BILE; his arguments in the Nebras-
kan's favor will be impeccable and
overwhelming. His mind is divided
into two halves, one being an inns
movable body and the other an if

REsENTs THE INsINUATION.

The Atlanta Georgian, in discuss
ing Mr.. Hearst and his independence
party, delivers itself of some pecul-
lar comment in regard to the guber-
Material election. On this subject il
says:

many men, incensed by the de-
feat of their candidate and gen
orally disgruntled, will turn to
this opportunity to vote against
Mr.. Brown. This may carry
with it support for other than
the regular democratic presiden-

certain way for party loyalty anC

man who voted in the June primary
1t says:
Surely the Georgian is i'll in

asserts that many men, in

Carter) to vote against Mr..
Brown" Men who voted in the
primary, whether they cast their
