The explosion on the Cruiser,
Tennessee adds another disaster
to the history of our navy. While
we are lpanning to enlarge and
increase the destructive power
of our vessels against our foes,
the question of perfect saftey to
the men behind the guns should
be a paramount consideration.
Each year adds it's fatalities to
our naval history.

Defeat of Hoke Smith

The defeat or Governor Hoke
in the primary election for
a second nomination for the
governorship Of Georgia came as
a distinct surprise to the other
States. Governor Smith is a man
of national reputation having
served as Secretary of the Inte-
rior under President Cleveland
during his last term. Two years
ago he was nominated by a ma
jority of $4,000 over several COM
petitors and in his second race he
loses the nomination by a ma.
jority of 1900 showing a reversal
of ITO, 900 votes.
When Governor Smith was
nominated two years ago there
was also nominated a Legislature
committed to the radical views
entertained by Mr., Smith in re.
gard to Railroad rate Legislation
and State prohibition.
The reversal of popular senti'
ment is claimed by the friends
of the railroad to be the cause o.
his defeat while the anti-proh'
ibitionists claim that a change
in sentiment along this line
brought about his defeat. The
result can be attributed to al
these causes and also to the fin.
ancial candition of the country
Railroad interests suffered
greatly since his inauguration
and it was impossible to float
railroad securities in any Of the
money centers. Many employ
ees were thrown out of their
positions and found it impossible
to obtain employment in other
Ines. 1t was an easy matter tt
line these up against the Cover
nor and they voted solidly
against him. 1t is an unusua
condition when such a man az
Hoke Smith can be defeated b.
an obscure competitor. Politics
however, furnishes many sur
prises and Georgia has furnish
ed the greatest of the year.

There was once a jefferson Da-
Wis in the United States Senate
who was an ornament to that
body a great and polished orator
and constructive statesman,
whose abilities were recognized
by making him head Of the
Southern Confederacy. There is
another Jeff Davis now in that
august body, but land! what a
different sort of fellow. 1t is
safe to say that as the champion
wind TANNER in the Senate he
will hold the belt foa a long time.

At a dinner given recently
whereof 9th old and young assem-
bled the question was ask ed,
(Which season of life is most
happy" After being freely dis
cussed by the guests it was ref
cred for answer to the host,
upon whom rested the burden
of four score years. He asked
them if they had noticed a grove
of trees before the dwelling, and
and siad, when spring comes,
and in the soft air the buds are
breaking on the trees, snd they
are covered with blossoms, |
think how beautiful!
And when the summer comes,
and covers the trees with it's
heavy foliage and singing birds
are among the branches, think
how beautiful is SUMMER!
When autumn loads them with
golden fruit and the leaves bear
the gorgeous tint of frost, l
think how beautiful is autumn!
And when it is sure winter, and
there is neither foliage nor fruit.
then l look up through the leaf
less branches, as | never could
until now, and see the stars shine
through.

THE LA PORTE HORROR.

The details of the horrible discov- cries at La Porte. Indiana. read more like the inside facts of the Spanish Inquisltion than possible occurrences in this Christian Twentieth century. To think that any woman ispesponsi- blc for the deaths of from twelve 10 twenty men is ghastly enough; to learn that her victims were lured to their deaths by means of misleading matrimonial advertisement in a news paper is far worse. True, many of these unfortunate men may have been adventures pure and simple, but that does not change the situation at all.
 The men were murdered for what money they had, so that they might not be in tho way of future operations of like nature. Who knows how many of them might have been sin cere? The manner in which the vic- tims were lured to their death was particularly pathetic. The alleged murdcress first got in touch with Norwegians by means of an 'ad" which said that she desired "to make the acquaintance of a gentleman un- usually well provided with views of joining fortunes. She explained that she was widow and owned large 1 farm. As soon as she got in touch i with those who answered, she wrote them alluring letters in the Norwegian language which naturally seemed to assure them that all was well. Bring l ing their all with them they came, one after the other, to give up their money, to meet death in the Blue 1 Beard Chamber" and to be rude!y bur jed in the farm yard.
 Imagination fails in such cases The descriptions are worse than the widest dreams of mind diseased. " Yet does not the whole incident tend to show again the fallacy of allowing such matrimonial advertisements to be published. They have already got ono prominent New York paper into hot water They should be prohibited either by a number of state avs ol by federal legislation if possible Ways there are aplenty for those who want husbands or wives to meet them without resorting to these methods The affair at the Guinness farm should prove such horrible example to tho will immediately follow,
