Offices: Corner Second and Cherry Streets. 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.

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.

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.
