Will There be War.
The Indications are tout this govern
ment is) prijxaring to make certain de
mands upon Spain, and upon the Spanish
reply to these demands will
depend whether or not there is to be a
coullict.
in ail probability these demands will
have to do with the Cuban question direct,
rather than with the Maine disaster, for
it is B-till impossible to believe .that tne
court of inquiry will tlx responsibility for
tile Maine explosion on the Spanish gov
ernment. It may be, however, that the
clement of doubt may enter so strongly
into the court’s finding that the Spanish
government, whether rightly or wrongly,
will be compelled to accept responsibility
tor tile disastei.
Hut the real cause for radical action
upon the part of this government lies in
tile character of the conflict now being
waged right at our doors. There is suf
ficient evidence to warrant the belief that
tile Cuban war has been and is still being
conducted on lines altogether outrageous,
inhuman and out of harmony with civil
ized ideas. Indeed, to such an extent is
this true that there really seems to be
some provocation for interference on the
part of this government. At least as much
us there was for the interference of Euro
pean powers in the Armenian trouble. Un
doubte-dly a certain amount of moral re
sponsibility rests upon this government,
and everything indicates that President
McKinley is about to be controlled by
overwhelming public sentiment in dealing
with the matter.
It is highly probable that along with the
transmission to congress of .the court of
inquiry's report on the Maine disaster will
be sent a message recommending inter
ference in Cuban affairs, and it is a fore
gone conclusion that congress Will give the
president all the support he desires in
such an undertaking. It will then depend
upon Spain to say whether or not war with
this country shall be necessary.
Ida Wells Aga in.
A Washington dispatch brings the infor
mation that Ida Wells, the young negro
woman who gained some notoriety a year
or two ago in connection with the lynch
ing evil, has bobbed up again, this time
in connection with the recent killing of a
negro postmaster in South Carolina.
It is not surprising that Ida Wells, or
ns she is referred to in the dispatches,
“Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett” should take ad
vantage of the South Carolina incident to
gain some more notoriety, but it is sur
prising, and disgusting, that prominent
white men, United States senators and
congressmen, and even the president him
self, should dance attention on her. A
Washington special says she presented to
the president u few days ago a set of res
olutions adopted at a mass meeting in
Chicago, denouncing the recent murder in
South Carolina and requesting the presi
dent to use his best efforts to bring the
perpetrators to justice.
The dispatch goes on to say that “Mrs.
Barnett,” who has been actively engaged
for several years in arousing public senti
ment on the lynching question, w-as accom
panied to the White House by Senator
Mason and Representatives Belknap, Lori
mer, Mills, Foss, White, Boutelle and
Mann, of the Illinois delegation.
, President McKinley assured “Mrs. Bar
nett," in response to her remarks, that the
postoffice department and the department
of justice were doing all in their power
ito ferret out and punish the members of
the mob and that the attorney general was
now considering what further steps the
government could take within the limits
of Federal jurisdiction.
It is not stated whether or not “Mrs.
Barnett” dined with President McKinley
or Senator Mason, or whether she slept in
Regent Hanna's room at the White House,
but the presumption is she was shown all
the deference due her color.

Mr. Berner and the Platform.
Judge Atkinson has insinuated that Can
didate Berner does not stand squarely on
the Chicago platform. To which the At
lanta Journal replies: “What difference
would it make if he did not? It would
neither make him fit or unfit for the place
he seeks.”
It would make just this difference with
the Journal and others of its kind; the less
Berner likes that platform, the more will
they like him. Notwithstanding the Jour
nal's words, it is evident that it considers
Judge Atkinson’s charge something of a
recommendation for Mr. Berner.
Colonel Candler's ideas about joint de
bates between Democrats are most excel
lent. There’s no use creating discord just
because there appears to be no other way
to keep up the excitement.—Albany Her
ald.
Douglass Glessner intimates that he op
poses Candler because he sometimes
“cusses." Glessner’s high moral ideas
■will cause him to flock to himself entirely
itftgr awhile if he doesn’t curb them.
A Comparison
The supreme court of Georgia yesterday j
granted a new trial in the case of Flan- '
nagan. the DeKalb county murderer whose
case has been in the court® so long. And
in granting a new trial tlie Supreme Court
makes it very clear thal the question of a
criminal's sanity i- to be fully and fairly
considered. The court especially holds
that the trial judge must charge the jury
upon the incanity law where the plea of
insanity is set up. »
In other words, the state of Georgia is
not willing to convict any criminal, be his
crime ever so black, until all doubt as to
his sanity has been removed.
It will be borne in mind that Flanna
gan's sanity has been twice toted; first
on a proceeding lunatko de euquirendo,
and again on the first regular trial of the .
case. But the Supreme Court bolds that |
the lower court erred in refusing to charge '
the jury on the Insanity law. So that the •
qursiion of Flannagan’s sanity Is to be ■
tested once more and this time he is to
have all the rights accorded him under i
the law.
Here is a man whose crime was as cold- i
blooded and inexcusable—barring the pos- |
sible question of his sanity—as any ever 1
committed. And yet the state of Georgia !
is patient in the extreme in its effort to ■
have all doubt as to his mental condition ■
removed.
Let us compare this case with that of ,
Mrs. Nobles, a helpless old woman w-ho I
has to die without the question of her can
ity ever having been enquired into. This
statement may not fully impress itself
upon those who merely understand that
her case has been in the courts for the i
past three years.
And yet it is a fact that if. Mrs. Nobles
is put to death on the gallows next week,
she will be executed without aH doubt as
*o her mental and moral responsibility
hating been removed. And it is because
the courts have persistently refused to give
her a hearing on the question of insanity
taat they have been appealed to so often.
And they have refused this hearing
merely because her first attorney, appoint
ed by the court, failed to make the plea
on the first trial of the case, and failed to
move for a new trial within the time al
lowed by law. In other words, because
she then slept over her rights, it has been
impossible to have her case reinstated,
and a hearing on the plea of insanity
granted her—a mere technicality by which
the state will defeat justice.
Mrs. Nobles Is unquestionably an im
becile. , And yet the courts have repeated
ly refused to give her attorney an oppor
tunity to make such a showing to this
effect as would convince any body of rea
sonable, unbiased men. She, a woman, a
feeble-minded, helpless old woman, must
go to the gallows, therefore, without hav
ing had the benefits of such a trial as the
Mate of Georgia, guarantees to Flanagan
and other criminals perhaps less worthy
of consideration.
It is with the Pardon Board and the
Governor alone to prevent such a miscar
riage of justice. She has been barred from
the courts upon a mere technicality. It
remains to be seen whether or not the
Governor and Pardon Board will save
Georgia from the shame and disgrace of
executing a feeble-minded old woman
whose mental condition has never been
investigated. It is for them to say whether
or not she shall have the same rights that
the Supreme Court eagerly accords to
other criminals.
Says the Albany Herald: “Colonel
Candler’s letter to Judge Atkinson will
certainly do him no harm. It makes in
teresting reading and isn't calculated to
afford much consolation to the South
Georgian. Colonel Candler begins by as
serting that he is a Democrat, and indorses
-all of the planks, separately and collec
tively, of the Democratic national plat
form. If Judge Atkinson indorses them
also, there is nothing for them to discuss.
If, however, Judge Atkinson disagrees with
any of them, he is willing to meet him on
the stump and discuss them with him.”

NEW YORK’S POSTMASTERS.
A« Oflice That Seems to Lead to Higher
Things or Long Life or Both.
The first postmaster of the city of* New
York got his commission from Thomas
Jefferson. He was Tboodorus Bailey, a
resident of Poughkeepsie. He was a Unit
ed States senator, having as his colleague
De Witt Clinton, but ho resigned his place
in the senate to become postmaster of New
York, which was then of about 75.000,
and the postal business of which amount
ed to a few hundred letters a day instead
jf the present volume of business, which
yields to the federal government a net
profit off 0,000,000 a year. He had pre
viously been a member of the legislature,
be bad enjoyed the distinction which Mine
to senators In the early years of the coun
try’s life, and behold the office of postmas
ter for 24 years.
Andrew Jackson appointed the next
postmaster, who continued in office for
eight years. His name was Jonathan Cod
dington. Nine years before his appoint
ment Coddington was a member of the
legislature, at a time when all the mem
bers were elected on one. ticket, and he
held the office of postmaster until John
Tyler appointed another man in his place.
Tyler’s propensity for appointing men in
other men's places led to considerable
friction In bis time, and it led, it is sup
posed, to some of the denunciations which
were made of Tyler, denunciations emanat
ing from those who were displaced. Presi
dent Pieroe appointed as postmaster of
New York Isaac V. Fowler, who was an
important personage in the politics of his
day. He had as his successor John A. Dix,
whose commission came from James Buch
anan. General Dis—he was not then a
general—was born in 1798, and at the
time of his selection as postmaster he was
known rather irreverently and certainly
inaccurately as “Old Dix. ” He had pre
viously been —27 years before— secretary of
state at Albany; he had been a legislator
and 15 years before had been chosen a
United States senator. He was afterward
assistant secretary of the treasury, and his
acceptance of the office of postmaster of
Now York was thought to round out his
career. He was the second United States
senator to become postmaster. So far
from rounding out his career. General
Dlx’s acceptance of the office of postmaster
might truthfully bo said to have begun it
again. In January, 1861, be was appoint
ed secretary of the treasury of the United
States, later on he became a general in
the Union army, still later American min
ister to France, and finally, on Jan. 1,
1873, governor of the state of New York.
General Dix diedin April, 1879, at the age
of 81 years. He was 62 when appointed
postmaster.
Two postmasters of New York were ap
pointed during President Lincoln’s term
—Abram Wakeman and James K: lly—and
two during Grant’s term —Mr. Jones and
Mr. James, both still active. President
Harrison appointed Cornelius Van Cott
nine years ago, and President McKinley
reappointed him after the expiration of the
four years’ tenure of Charles W. Dayton,
appointed by President Cleveland. The
office of postmaster of New York leads
usually to higher things for those who
leave it and to lorg life to those who don't.

Absolutely Pure
AMMONIA SAVED HIM.
A PENNSYLVANIA DOCTORS EXPE-
RIENCE WITH WOLVES.
Lost In a U ilderuess. He Had to Abandon
HU Horse and For Forty-eight Hours
Carried on a Contest With His Life as
the Stake.
The following is a true wolf story
written from data furnished by Dr
Thornton of Lewisburg, Pa., vhofs fa
ther figures as the hero:
“About the year 1845 wolves were
abundant iu Tomhickou valley, between
Catawissa and Hazleton. When the
Catawissa railroad, a part of the Phil
adelphia ami Reading, was being built,
Dr. Thomas A. 11. Thornton, a practic
ing physician, one cold autumn uight
was called out of bed to visit a patient
about 20 miles from his home. At that
time there were no regular roads as we
now have. In their place the traveler
used narrow paths or trails. Dr. Thorn
ton iu his anxiety to reach the bedside
of the sufferer attempted to make a
short cut. He lost his way and for a
week wandered through the wilderness
and, having no gun, was obliged to
subsist oil roots and herbs. The doctor
was on horseback and after wandering
aimlessly about the pathless forests for
four or five days got into a large swamp,
where the horse stepped into a quag
mire, from which his owner was uuable
to extricate him, and the animal had
to be abandoned, imbedded as he was
almost to his belly in the soft and boggy
bed. The doctor removed the saddle
bags containing his supply of medicine,
etc., threw them over his shoulders and
started off.
“Several hours after the doctor got
out of the swamp where he had aban
doned his horse he was horrified to see
that ho was being followed by a band
of five or six wolves. At first they kept
at a respectful distance when stones
were thrown at them, but finally, as if
they appreciated the helploss condition
of their intended victim, and as dark
ness came on, the hungry, bloodthirsty
band became bolder and bolder. They
circled ground the terrified and jaded
man and, closing in, started to attack
him on all sides. One more vicious and
impulsive than the others made a spring
at the doctor’s throat, but a well direct
ed blow from a club temporarily dis
abled the animal and caused his raven
ous companions to discontinue at that
time their premeditated and combined
attack.
“Thedoctor, by this thrilling episode
and the frightened condition of the
wolves, succeeded in going perhaps a
mile unmolested when, to his great
horror, ho found the whole pack, led by
the vicious brute he believed he had
maimed with his club, hot on his trail.
The stunning blow administered to the
leader of the howling baud seemed to
have only intensified the brute’s cour
age and thirst for blood. The man,
weakened by long exposure and loss of
food, realized that ho would soon be torn
to pieces if be did not adopt some new
means of defense.
“Fortunately, as the animals began
closing around him for another on
slaught, ho reached a high rock and
mounted on its top, where a giant tree
served to protect him from falling back
ward. He reached this eminence in time
to provide himself with seme stones and
two or three good clubs before his pur
suers started to attack him. He stood
back to the tree, and as the animals at
tempted to come up he drove them back
with his primitive weapons. A large
stone hurled with great force and ac
curacy broke the head of one of the as
sailants, and this gave the doctor a
breathing spell.
“The man, however, realized that he
must soon quit his refuge, and, remem
bering that be had in his saddlebags a
large bottle full of ammonia, he deter
mined to employ it as a final resort to
save his life. He quickly removed one
of his green baize leggings, tied it se
curely to a stick, and after saturating
the legging with ammonia he boldly
started down the rocky promontory to
ward the wolves. The cunning animals,
apparently aware that he could be more
easily overpowered on level ground,
separated, slunk off and permitted him
to proceed several hundred yards before
they renewed the pursuit. They did not,
however, allow much time to elapse be
fore they took the trail of the man who
had thus far so successfully bullied their
powers.
“The doctor stood still and waited
until one of the brutes rushed within
an arm’s length, when he struck him
m the face with the cloth saturated
with ammonia. This reception was a
most novel and unique one for the wolf,
who ran off howling with pain. Two
more of the band were slapped across
the mouths with the saturated baize,
and they also left. After this experience
the wolves followed the doctor till day
light next morning, when they gave up
the chase, which they had continued for
48 hours and which unquestionably
would have resulted in a most horrible
death if it had not been for the contents
of rhe ammonia bottle.
“Dr. Thornton succeeded in finding a
shanty occupied by the men construct
ing the Catawissa railroad, where he
was carefully cared for, and in the
course of four or five days was taken to
bis home, where he was ill for fully a
month. ’’—-Philadelphia Record.

A Thrifty Indian Girl.
There is a thrifty Indian girl in the
S<ger school in Oklahoma who has a
surprising record for aptness, wit and
good sense.
When she became a pupil a few years
ago. she had no education whatever and
was apparently as nonprogressive as the
others of her race, but in a short time she
was earning money in the sewing room,
ami a little later took a salaried place, such
as the government allows to industrious
learners who want to earn “pin money’’
outside of the regular study hours in the
farm, sewing room or other departments.
Out of her savings she bought a harness,
team and wagon, a bedroom set and a
sewing machine, all in view of her pro
spective marriage to a young Indian. She
saved some money, too, and did it all in
three years.
Not Reprehensible.
“Hit nevuh pays,” said Uncle Ebon,
“fob er man ter lose ’is temper. Hut dar

liberately gettin red o' his good nature. ’
