It was a great day for democracy. Van Wycks election was not a sur prise. The Dalton gang have donned con vict stripes. The heavens smile and old Sol beams upon the ladies. The election, the women of Georgia and next Sam Jones. Rome is a lively city. The press of Georgia is ringing with praises of The Tribune's big issue. The legislature is jagging along and getting down to work in good shape. We have not seen a single Georgia newspaper which has not condemned football. That is a magnificent shipping record which Brunswick makes for October. Republican Boss Cox, of Cincinnati, says he has had enough and will retire forever from the political ring. The Birmingham Ledger says that “the Georgia Legislature is getting ready to punt the pigskin out o’ sight.” Says yesterday’s Atlanta Constitu tion: “The Rome Tribune’s souvenir edition is being complimented on all sides.” Capt. R. G. Clark says that our trade and souvenir edition was “the most ’magnificent and artistic news paper ever issued in this section. ” The Brunswick Times thinks the mind of the average university student runs too much on football and base ball and too little to text books and studies. In an article on the gubernatorial candidates Mrs. Myrick says “Bob Berner's only fault is ingratitude ” How many politicians have that fault?—Savannah Press. That convention from the states which have suffered from yellow fever should be called to meet in Atlanta, and action taken to forever banish the dread disease from our shores. The delegates to the Georgia Fed eration of Woman’s clubs favoring higher education are invited to in spect the curriculum of Shorter college which is one of the highest in the jsouthern states. Great Democratic Gains, The election returns show great democratic gains everywhere. M It is a popular protest against repub licanism, and against their failure to do many things they have promised. In New York the election of Judge Van Wyckas first mayor Greater New York was conceded, but by not so great a plurality as he received. It was a surprise to all. But the great est victory of all was in the state elec tion in which A B. Parker, democratic candidate for chief justice of the court of appeals who.. Was an ardent supporter of Bryan. Whenever the. figures are close in Ohio it is a good sign of democratic Victory, The republicans are fright ened and claim the state by a very small majority. Until the official figures are given out the result will not be known. All down the line did the democratic hosts carry the victory. There were great democratic gains in Rhode Island, New Jersey, Massa chusetts, Maryland and other states. The democratic gain in lowa is 47,000. Detroit, Mich., elects a democratic mayor. Kentucky is reclaimed and gives a big democratic victory. • These are some of the most impor tant results, and as defeated Seth Low remarked, “This year has been a heavy democratic year everywhere.” A grand national democratic victory is foreshadowed from the results of this election. Mrs- Lowe's Address, One of the most brilliant and com prehensive addresses on the cause of woman’s advancement and higher education ever heard in the south was that of Mrs. W. B. Lowe, presi dent of the Georgia Federation of Women’s clubs, delivered in Rome yesterday. All proclaim Mrs. Lowe to be one of the ablest advocates of woman’s clubs in the United States. One of the secrets of her great success is that in addition to her splendid intellec tual gifts she is working for the prin ciple of what she believes is right and not for personal glory. She will achieve still’greater glory in working so indefatigably and unselfishly. Her address was remarkable for Its thoughtfulness and it cogent reason ing, and the large and cultured au dience demonstrated their apprecia tion of it by frequent applause. We are glad to have heard Mrs. Lowe’s address and we are proud of her as a Georgia woman. Brutal Work Condemned, Editor Stovall, of the Savannah Press, one of the staunchest friends and a graduate of the University of Georgia, writes of football in Georgia as follows: The death of Von Gammon of Rome is inexpressibly sad. Full of strength and manly beauty,, a model of young manhood, sturdy, ambitious, loyal, and noble, he falls a victim to college sport and in a twinkling has his life crushed out upon the field. We should like to say it was an accident. It would be better to think that in the rush and clash of a flying wedge he had been caught and crushed by a concentration of weight and strength in the eagerness to get the ball. But from the testimony of witnesses and of those who heard the side talk on the teams there seems to have been a real conspiracy on the part of the Virginia eleven to “put Gammon and Tichenor out qf play’’ from the start. No one supposes for a moment that the visitors intended to take Gam-, moo’s life. But there is a trick in football, too often used and too diffi cult to detect, to disable the star player and thus get rid of the best man in the opposition. Players are not very squeamish as to how this is done, and it often happens that play ers are dangerously hurt through de sign as much as through accident. Every effort has been made to avoid such play. The number of referees has been increased so as to give the umpire a better chance to watch the players. Everything like slugging and ruffianism has been con demned, but no rules or referees can avail when men are bent upon mis chief. All sports are marred by mis fortunes. Yachts turnover in the wa ter and men are drowned; horses fall at the hurdle and jockeys are crushed; balls and bars put out eyes and lives of many boys on the diamond, but the very suspicion that this death of young Gammon and the laming of Tichenor resulted from concentrated, ruffianly attack, is enough to ruin it in the minds of conservative people. The Press condemns this brutal work. We believe that if the figures are made up it will be found that as many men are killed by basebtfll and other sports, in proportion to the THE HOME TBIBUNB. THUSBDAY, NOVEMBEB 4, 1897. players, as on the gridiron. We be lieve, for that matter, that where one man is maimed 100 are made, physi cally, by football. But this heart rending tragedy has doomed the play in Georgia. The university will dis band its.team and fence in its grounds and football playing may be made a misdemeanor in Georgia. We believe such measures would be extreme, but people are apt to become extreme in the light of these accidents. ,ii z THE TRIBUNE'S BIG ISSUE, (Birmiugham News) The Rome Tribune, issued a forty page souvenir anl trade edition yester day, which is a credit to southern jour nalism. The paper ,is handsomely illustrated and is a veritable encyclo pedia of information concerning Rome and the surrounding country, Marvelously Neat. (Augnsta Chronicle) The Rome Tribune got out another trade edition Sunday of 40 pages, which reflects credit on the able management of Editor Knowles and his co-workers. It presents in pleasing style the indus tries and business establishments of Rome, and is profusely illustrated. The typographical and press work is mar velously neat, and, altogether, it is in keeping with the Tribune’s past work, The Tribune’s Staff. (Savann.h Press) The Tribuue of Rome prints fine half tone cuts of the editor ancThis talented staff. The staff of the The Tribune is hightoned and successful. It is a good aggregation. Attractive Publication, (Savannah News) The souvenir and trade edition of The Rome Trbune forty pages, was issued Sunday. Its inspection will have to proceed on the installment plan, but so far it is a most attractive publication. A South Carolina View, (Columbia, S. C., Register) Last week in a game between the uni versities of and Georgia one of the players of the latter team was knocked into unconsciouness, frpm which he never recovered. He died Sunday, and now there is much preju dice against the sport in Georgia, which under the circumstances, is quite, natural. The faculty of the university has prohibited the team from playing any more this season or in the future. It would net be surprising if many more colleges followed this example, and that in time the game will be given over to professionals, as baseball is now. In Other Southern States. (Birmingham Age-Herald) The* death of one 'foot ball player in Atlanta was sed; but if there bad been more than one it might have greater ef fect on public opinion, which would cause an open rebellion at the brutality of those who play the game. There was a time when foot ball playing was the sport of gentlemen, but it has be come the occupation of a lot of brutes. The Heroine, Her raiment changes with the fleeting fash ions Os years that pass, but she abides in sooth Unchanged, the star and shrine of human passions, Ofc wise and o’d,or sweet in flower-like youth. Naomi she. the veiled and bent with sorrows, Or clear-eyed Ruth, or Dido famed and fair, Helen the beautiful, of dim tc-morrows Or sad Elaine, slain, by her love’s despair. She trails he.r soundless garments down the ages, A vision and a dream, or rustling steals Past trembling areas In those haunted pages Where man forever fightsand woman kneels. Our modern books and pictures often show her Serene and college-bred and trimly gowned, But able yet to make for all who know her This queer old world one vast enchanted ground. To bind and loose, this still remains her mis sion, To loose and bind—whatever be her name, Her date, from Honor down, or her condition. The heroine herself abides the same. —Margaret E.

The old veteran will leave his cottage among the hills of Hall and begin the touring of the oontineut incident to his new duties, cheered and comforted in his wanderings by the bride of a few weeks ago. The people of this community are warmly attached to General Hampton. It is not an invidious choice, for in peace and in war they have been thrown with him often. While thinking no less of Longstrreet, they would have been glad to see the old Carolinian now, nearing the evening of life, retain the position he has held for more than four years. But General Longstreet is entitled to the spoils of war which the republicans have at their disposal. He has been identified with them for many years. He, too wears upon his brow the “blossom of the grave.” It was but natural that he should be cared for by his party, though the indications were at one time that this would not be done. And after all, he is a Georgian and an ex-confederate. This should be enough to secure for him the respect and esteem of all and his old comrades and friends rejoice at bis good fortune. The Savannah Press publishes a picture of Vonalbade Gammon in bis training clothes. It is reproduced from a photograph in the possession of Mr. C. S. Connerat, jr., and is the best likeness which-has appeared in any Georgia paper. Do You Enjoy Sweet and Tender Meats! If so, visit CARNOCHAN HARRIS’ Market.
