Catching at Straws.
The disgruntled minority or the Demo
crutlc party—if. indeed, they deserve to
be credited with further connection with
the party in any form —are in the pitilui
attitude of catching at every straw that
lloats on the troubled political waters in
which they are floundering.
If they can only manage to oast off
Bryan, they can claim vindication and get
back into the party without so much hu
miliation. It would give them a great
deal of personal gratification to make this
adjustment of their political difficulties,
and they look forward to it as their last
remaining hope. They care less for prin
ciple, 11*88 for the welfare of the party
than they would have you believe —‘their
chief desire is to be let down easy.
They have eagerly grasped at every in
significant circumstance to show that
Bryan has been repudiated by his party;
but all the time Bryan is getting closer
to the people, and no other name —until
Tammany put in a man by the name of
Van Wyck as mayor of Greater New York
has even been seriously considered in
connection with the nomination in WOO.
But the disgruntled ones are not to be
discouraged, In draperation, they gather
hope from every word that is uttered in
disparagement of Bryan. Their latest
cause for rejoicing is the card of Mr. Mc-
Ewen, an editorial writer connected with
the New York Journal, who undertakes to
show that 16* to 1 is not the proper ratio
and that, therefore, Bryan Is not the logi
<al candidate for 1900.
This is about, the substance of Mr. Mc-
Ewen’s argument. Mr. Bryan Is not the
logical candidate, because of his views as
to the proper ratio between gold and sil
ver. Mr. McEwen purposely loses sight
of the fact that. Bryan represents a thous
and and one principles and issues more
Important than the mere question of ratio.
Ills whole heart and soul and brain are at
work in an effort to throw off the yoke of
oppression that corporate greed and cen
tralization of power have placed upon t’he
people. Free silver Is but the first step
In that direction; the balance, involves al
most a revolution in our form of govern
ment—or, rather, a return to first prin
ciples. The opinions of all the Mc.Ewens
in the country cannot convince the people
that Bryian is not their friend, nor the
Democratic party that hi* is not Its only
candidate.
But. Mr. McEwen’s card is hardly en
titled to serious consideration, because of
the evident, motive that Inspired it - Van
"Wyck. It Is too apparent to be denied
that Tammany and Its now organ, the
New York Journal, Is detorndned to put
Van Wyck forward. ‘Not because 'ho can
fill the toe of Bryan’s shoes, but because
ibis election would mean a Tammany ad
ministration and this Is what Tammany
wants. It Is what Tammany has always
wanted, and it works everything to that
end. ft is what it wanted and expected
When ('levolaml was first elected, and it
promptly repudiated that gentleman when
Jt found ho was not to be controlled by
Tammany politicians. It was what Tam
many wanted when it put. Hill forward,
and it. Is what It wants now. It realizes,
at 'tlie outset, that Bryan is too big a man
to be controlled by Tammany, and it wants
a preeldent who is Tammany's alone. Such
ft man Is Van Wyck. and Tammany hopes
to land the nomination for him on the Idea
that the Democratic party can do nothing
without New York.
But Tammany will find that this claim
has been worked out. The Democratic
party may be willing to accept Van Wyck
for second place next time, but it has too
much sense to go gunning for the G. O. P.
elephant with pop-gun when a larger
weapon Is as easily had.
Tammany plays the game of politics for
all there Is In It. It Is in politics for
revenue only. It now has New York city
in Its grasp, ami tt now even aspires to
control the national government. It can’t
do it without Bryan in the White House;
>«t with Van Wyck there, it would have
its own *-;»y
This, tn a nutshell, is all that 'alls the
New York Journal and its man McEwen,
and those who are trying to see »- it any
thing more than a Van Wyck boom are
simply catching at straws.
The people of Central America are be
coming convinced that the Greater Repub
lic of Central America is not the success
it at first promised to be. They say that
it is merely a political alliance .of the
three presidents of Nicaragua, Honduras
and Salvador. Messrs. Zelaya, Bonilla and
Gutterrez, respectively. These presidents
are at outs now, and the feeling in the
republics is bitterly histile, one against
the other.
And Io! a Mouse Ran Out
Under the above head-line today's At
lanta Constitution, in referring to the de
fection of Mr. McEnery, says:
“Mr. Bryan is a great leader who mer
its and has won the confidence of the peo
ple. He is th* enthusiastic missionary of
a most just and righteous cause; but if
Mr. Bryan were to die tomorrow, or, what
is more inconceivable, should turn his po
litical coat, the Democratic party and the
cause of the people would still go forward.
Other leaders would arise, other advocates
would make their voices heard.
"This being so. how puerile is it for the
anxious enemies of the party to shout ju
bilantly over the defection of a newspaper
writer. Why, there was not so much as a
riple in the party when Hill, Whitney and
Roswell I*. Flower announced that they
could not stomach the democratic platform
and candidates. There was no convulsion
when Cleveland and Carlisle announced
their departure. Indeed, there was a more
wholesome and a more hopeful harmony
after those occurences.
So it has been from the beginning and
so it will be to the end. The Democratic
party and its principles are superior to
individuals, events and organs. Men pass
away and are forgotten, circumstances
change as the chamelion changes, news
jvaper organs drift about, but the princi
pals of Democracy are immortal.
The master mechanic of the Norfolk &
Wester railroad, notes the Albany Her
ald. put himself on record recently as be
ing* against the electric headlight for the
locomotive, because, as he asserted, the
rays of Light were so strong that it was
impossible to distinguish the color of sig
nal lamps. This statement was promptly
challenged by the president of one of the
electric headlight companies and dis
proved in an actual test at Indianapolis
which wah witnessed by several rrailroad
officials. Many locomotive engineers, how
ever, strenuously objected to the electric
headlight on another ground—that run
ning against it is very dangerous. That
is, the stream of light from an approach
ing locomotive is eo powerful that It Is
practically blinding, and the engineer who
faces it cannot tell how far away the ap
proaching locomotive is, or whether it ie
moving or stationary.
Are Entitled to Protection.
It is apparent to everyone except the
mayor and council, that more polio are
needed to rid the residence portion of the
city of thieves and footpads. Never in the
i history of Macon have so many -highway
[ robberies occurred in so short a time, and
j the reason for it is apparent. The criminal
class have learned that the residence por
i tion of the city is practically without po
, lice protection, therefore they have noth
ing to fear except from their victim, who,
| being taken unawares, is usually power-
I less to protect himself.
i Under the present arrangement the res-
I idence portion of the city is in reality, no
i better protected than Vinev.ille, notwrtii
! standing the fact that citizens pay for the
• necessary police protection.
The situation is becoming so serious
I that the demand for more policemen is
j hoard on every side. Even the police au
. then ties will, we believe, admit the need
for an increased force. Either that or
they must be censured for recent occur
rences.
As The News has already shown, every
other city in Georgia has a larger police
force than Macon in proportion to popula
tion. Savannah and Atlanta have nearly
double the number of ixilioemen, based on
population.
Not only, therefore, does the size of the
city justify an increased force, but grow
ing disorder makes it absolutely necessa
ry.
It will cost but a few thousand dollars
a year to make the force what it should be.
This exj>enditure may save the people of
Macon much property—perhaps one or
more valuable lives, it will, at least,
make them feel safe. And, as tax payers,
they are entitled to this much.
Governor Atkinson is being criticised
for attending a bull fight in Mexico on
•Sunday. We are not so much interested
in saving William Yale's soul, —rwe are in
clined to think he is beyond redemption,
anyway—but what we want ’to know is,
was Pleas Stovall there?
The Coming of Anna.
Miss Anna Held, that dainty, deliciously
naughty bit of feminity who Las made
such a hit in New York, and, incidentally
the bald-headed contingent youuger and
more chipper, is coming South. The fair
Anna is coming to Macon —she is even
going to Augusta. And this latter fact
has led the festive Bayne to grow gay in
anticipation of the event. ‘He announces
that the coming of Anna has caused faint
little Hutters to chase one another under
the vests of the Augusta Johnnies and the
i florists to wear a smile as broad as a
Gallic joke.
Bayne declares that of all the girls
ther’s none so smoothe as Anna. Then
he proceeds to tell what he knows about
this dainty little danseuse. He says:
“She won her first ‘scare head’ by stop
ping a runaway horse one morning as she
scorched down the boulevard, and the firm
but gentle manner in which she did It ap
pealed to the big hearted city editors.
They, one and all, insisted on rendering
unto Calpurnia the pica lines which were
her’s. She 'had east her bread upon the
waters and it came back cake.
“Then it trickled out that Anna pre
served her natal gift of beauty by taking
milk baths. She probably assumed that if
she bought it from the average dairyman
it would be, after all, just an ordinary
bath spiked with a little milk, so it was
no great shakes. But the haute monde
thought they discovered in it ‘Anna’s
Ponce de Leon spring, so they fell in line
and milk baths became so popular that the
milk market rose till it clabbered. She
had been made again.
“When the trump of fame became a
little weak in the osophagus, she (Anna,
ami not Fame) engaged in that notorious
kissing tournament In which she knocked
out the masculine contestant in the sev
enty-third osculation, threw a few unused
kisses at the young man In search of an
item, and retired into the privacy of pub
lic life.
“That is to say, she took a contract to
coquette with the calciums at Koster &
Bial’s and jusque a la mowed a wide swath
in the forget-me-not wilderness for some
time to come.
“And now she is coming to the sweet
South, to breathe upon the banks of vio
lets and, incidentally, the box office.
“The front rowers ransacked the an
thologgies until they struck that little
inorceau of Burns’:
"Ye monarchs take the east and west,
From Indies to Savannah.”
“And so on to the effect that what it
really took to make him happy was Anna.
"The scene of her operations, like that
of Sherman will be around Atlanta—
which Burns couldn't include because
Chattahoochee wouldn’t rhyme—and we
have no doubt she will get around it with
both arms, for when she gets up and
sings
"I have such a pleasant way with me.
Won't you come and play with tne,”
there is little likelihood that she will have
to go off and sulk in solitude and silence.”
Why doesn't Dan Stuart select John J.
Ingalls as his paramount commissioner to
bring about a meeting between Corbett
and Fitzsimmons, asks the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal.
When Ignatius Donnelly married 'the
first time he did so without his children's
consent, and he can probably get along
without it this time, suggests an exchange.
A dispatch from Washington states that
a dark horse may win the Brunswick col
lectorship. The “dark” horse seems to be
getting all the federal plums in Georgia.
In attending a Mexican bull fight on
Sunday it is suspected that Governor At
kinson was only getting pointers for his
coming senatorial fight.
The Athens Banner has put the name of
Allen D. Candler at its masthead for gov
ernor. It is said that Clarke county will
go for Candler.
Highway Robberries are almost nightly
occurrences in Macon. A few extra po
licemen would put an end to these out
rages.
It is a noticeable fact that nearly all
Republican organs are opposed to the
nomination of Bryan in 1900.
Where those Ohio Democrats missed it
was in not having the Cook County March
ing Club on hand.
If Mr. Bryan isn't care.al The Macon
Telegraph may prevent his nomination
yet.

LOVE IN ART.
How Love Produced a Masterpiece—Hand
That Wrought It Stilled.
A century since, in the north of Europe,
stood an old cathedral, upon one of whose
arches was a sculptured face of wondrous
beauty. It was long hidden, until one day
■the sunlight, striking through a slanted
window, revealed its matchless features.
And ever after, year by year, upon the
days when for a brief hour it was thus il
luminated, crowds came and waited eag
erly to catch but a climpse of that that
face, tit has ast W nge history. When the
cathedral was being built, an old man,
broken with the weight of years and cares,
came and besought the architect to let
hi in work upon it. Out of pity for his age,
but fearful lest his failing sight and trem
bling hand might mar some fair design,
the master set him 'to work in the shadows
of the vaulted roof.
One day they found the old man asleep
•in death, the tools of his craft laid in or
der beside him, the cunning of his right
hand gone, his face upturned to this other
marvelous face which he had wrought
there —the face of the woman he had loved
and lost in ihis early manhood. lAind when
the artists and sculptors and workmen
from all parts of the cathedral came and
looked upon that face, they said: “This Is
the grandest work of all: love wrought
this!” —Humanitarian.
THE 'MYSTERY OF SLEEP.
The sleep of a human being, if we are
not to busy to attend to the matter, al
ways evokes a certain feeling of awe. We
see death seldom, but were it more famil
iar de doubt if a corpse would inspire so
much awe as the unconscious and sleeping
figure—a smiling ‘irresponsible doll of flesh
and blood, but a doll to whom in a second
may be recalled a proud, active, controll
ing conscious, which will ride his bodily
and his mental horse with a hand of iron.
Which will force that body to 'injure toil
and misery, and will make that mind, now
wandering in paths of fantastic folly,
grapple with some great problem, or throw
all its force into the ruling, the saving or
the destruction of mankind. The corpse
is only so mudh bone, muscle anr tissue.
The sleeping body is the house Which a
quick and eager master has only left for
•an hour or so. Let anyone who thinks
sleep is no mystery try to observe in him
self the process by which sleep comes, and
■to notice how and when and under what
conditions he looses consciousness. He
will, of course, utterly fail to put his fin
ger on the moment of sleep coming, but in
striving to get as close as he can. to the
phenomena of sleep, he will realize how
great is the mystery which he sis trying
to fathom.—'London Spectator.

DIME NOVEL BANDITS.
Four West Virginia Lads Meet a 'Warm
Reception.
Wheeling. W. Va.. Jan. 14. —Near Phil
ippi, Barbour county, Clarence Reed. Geo.
> Ensinger, Young Braden and Will Call,
readers of dime novels, became impressed
! with the possibility of emulating Jesse
James. Sunday night they left Philippi
for the home of Riley Wilmouth. They
knocked at the door and when Mrs. Wil-
I mouth, who was in the house alone, came
;to the door, they demanded money. Mrs.
| Wilmouth began firing with a Winchester
I rifle and shot Ensinger, making a flesh
I w’ound. They went to Jacob Schenck’s
house, another place they had decided to
rob. At Schenck’s Reed rapped on the
door and demanded atmittance, threaten
ing if they were refused to break down the
door and murder the members of the
household. Several neighbors, including
V. W. Kittle, were visiting Schenck, and
after a moment’s consultation, Schenck
opened the door. Reed rushed in and Kittle
seized him from behind the door, while
four others *f Mr. Schenck’s visitors hur
ried outside and succeeded in capturing
the other would-be robbers. In the battle
between Kittle and Reed. Reed fired a shot
at short range .which entered Kittle’s left
breast, near the heart. All the young men
were brought to Philippi this morning.
Kittle’s wound will prove fatal.
