Democrats Must Organize.
It Is time the democrats in every county
in the state were organised for the approach
ing campaign. For years they have had no
opposition worth mentioning. The indica
tions are that this year they are going to
have a good deal of opposition. The Peo
ple’s party has not yet been organized in
this state,but its leaders are getting ready to
organize it, and they hope to get the alliar.ee
Into it. They are already making their
boasts that they will have the support of
the alliance, aud that they will virtually
disrupt the Democratio party. All such
talk is, of oourse, nonsense. As the Morx
ino News said yesterday, in noticing the
statement of the Southern Alliance Farmer
that 1,600 of the 3,300 suballiances of the
state have adopted resolutionsapproving the
St. 1-ouis platform, there are allianeemen
in Georgia who are going into the new
party. Some of them are democrats and
some republicans, but the great majority of
those of the allianeemen wbo are democrats
have not decided to leave the Democratic
party, and we do not believe they will do so.
There isn't an intelligent allianceman in
this state who does not know that the
People's party hasn't a ghost of
a chance to elect a presidential
ticket. The only thing It Is likely
to do is to prevent the Democratic
party from carrying states that it would
be absolutely oertain to carry If there were
no People’s party. In other words.it will
aid In electing a republican to the presi
dency. Is that something to be desired
by democratic ailianoemen of the
south! If the republicans should elect the
President this year, and also a majority of
the House of Representatives, they would
make every effort to reorganize their party
la all the southern states, aDd they would
meot with considerable success. They believe
that if they cau break the solid ranks of the
Democratic party in the south they cau
gain not only a foothold in the south, but
also control of (the government and retain
that control for tho next quarter of a
ceuturv.
They are deeply interested In the People’s
party movement in the south. It gives
them p-oat satisfaction. They are en
oouraging it, and the stronger it bcoomes
the better they will be pleased.
They have no fear of the People’s party
in the north and west. That party hasn’t
gained strength in thpse localities since the
elections last fall, and at that time it did
the Republican party no harm. It is ap
parent, therefore, that the Democratio
party is the party the People’s pariy will
hurt. Whou this Is made clear to the dem
ocrats of Georgia and other southern states
allianeemen will not be so ready to support
the People’s’party aslthe leaders of that
party seem to think.
But the democrats cf Georgia and all
the other southern states should be
gin organizing at oqpe, in order that they
may be able to proteot aud promote the in
terests of their party in every possible way.
By adopting this course the People’s party
will be prevented from effecting its purpose
of oapturing the alliance.
Effingham's Ultimatum.
The GuytonlC'Aronirle notifies the demo
crats of Chatham county, and particularly
the democrats of Savannah, that they must
not think of asking that a Chatham county
roan be nominated for senator for this
district. Tbe tkf-onicle says that Effing
ham intends to Dame |the candidate
for senator and will not brook
any opposition. It says that
if it is not in error the alliance will nomi
nate an Emanuel county man for cougreis,
and hints that Effingham will support him
as against Col. Lester, should Col. I<ester be
renominated, if Effingham’s demand with
respect to the state senatorship is disre
garded. And the Chronicle declares it
would be well for Chatham to say what her
intentions are with respect to the senator
ship before March 35, at which time the
democratic executive oommittee of Effing
ham meets at Hpriuglield.
Tbe Chronicle is noticeably independent
and particularly aggrossive. It seems to
think that Effingham holds a position which
enables her to play the part of a dictator.
And tho Chronicle says it speaks for the
democracy of Effingham county.
The purport of tho foregoiug is that the
democrats of Effingham will support tbe
alliance candidate for congress unless they
are accorded the privilege of naming the
senator from this distriot. The democrats
of Chatham now understand tho political
situation la tho First senatorial distriot,
and can guide themselves accordingly.
But is it not rather rash in the Chronicle
to virtually assert that Effingham demo
crats will desert their party if they are not
permitted to have their way with respect to
the Btate senatorship? Berhaps, after all,
there is no reason for trying to bulldoze the
democrats of Chatham county.
Make It a Success.
Now that it has been decided to have a
May weok celebration, no effort to make
it a successful celebration should be spared.
Savannah does nothing by halves. If she
invites tbe people of the surrouuding
country to visit her she must provide such
means of entertaining them os will sustain
hor reputation for liberal hospitality. To
do this requires money. No doubt the
business men will be as liberal
this year as they have been in
previous years, and that the subscriptlODS
will be fully up to the wanes of the man
agers of the celebration.
Last year there was some complaint by
the visitors because the maiu attractions
were not free. It is the understanding that
this year there will he no such cause for
complaint.
What is needed now is that everybody
shall lend the celebration a helping hand.
May week will be a success if all join in
trying to make it so.
Of all tbe scandals afloat none shows a

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1892.
Tbe Case of Judge Maynard.
Judge Maynard, of the New York court
of appeals, does not appear to have many
friends among the members of tbe bar
association of New York city. The very
largo majority of the association hy whioh
he has been declared guilty of reprehensible
j conduct in the Dutchess county election
cate Indicates that the effort that is to be
made to remove him from the bench will be
a strong one.
If the majority of the association against
; him a- not so large the conclusion would
be reached by many that he was the victim
of political persecution. It is understood
that it was his action in the Dutchess county
election case that helped to make the New
York Senate democratic. Ho has been on
the bench only a month or two. Gov. Hill
having appointed him just before
he left tbe gubernatorial office.
The republican papers of New York made
a great outorv when Judge Maynard was
appointed, and alleged that his appoint
ment was intended as a reward for bis
servioes in making the legislature demo
cratic. It was to be expected, of course,
that they would take that position. What
they said about the matter, however, would
not be sufficient to Influence the public
against Judge Maynard, because it would
have been believed that their course, was
dictated by partisan motives. But the ac
tion of the conservative bar association,
condemning him and calling upon the legis
lature to remove him, will have a powerful
effect upon publlo sentiment.
A few days ago Judge Maynard made a
statement in his own behalf which was cal
culated to oreate the impression that in tak
ing the part be did in the Dutchess county
election case he believed he was acting
within the law and was doing what any
honorable man would have done under sim
ilar circumstances. His statement, how
ever, made no friends for him among the
members of tho New York bar association.
It is not improbable that some of the
members of the association are more pleased
at the opportunity to strike a blow at Gov.
Hill than anxious to drive Judge Maynard
from the bench, but it is not reasonable to
suppose that the association, containing as
it does so large a proportion of democratio
members, would have condemned Judge
Maynard had it uot believed him guilty of
intentional wrong-doing.
The fight that is sure to take place in the
legislature when the effort to remove Judge
Maj nard is made will bb an interesting one.
There will be plenty of politics in It.
A Suggestion Worth Considering.
Mathew Marshall, in an admirable finan
cial article in Monday’s New York .S'un,
speaking of the Richmond Terminal reor
ganization, says: “Investing money in a
huge concern like tbe Richmond Terminal
is like investing in the obligations of a
nation. Bo long as the debtor preserves its
organic unity It can take care of its debts,
but if it is broken into fragments by revo
lution and civil war its power of levying
taies and collecting revenue is destroyed
and it becomes bankrupt. The mouey
markets of the world demonstrate the sen
timent of Investors generally in this re
spect. If prudent investors In national
loans consider the possibility
of national disruption as an
element in estimating their value, so should
investors in stocks and bonds of great rail
way systems consider the probability of a
like catastrophe. The whole thing comes
baok to what 1 have bo frequently insisted
upon, that the oharaoter of the managers of
a corporation is one of the most important
elements in the value of its securities, just
as the character of the rulitig citizens of a
nation is the controlling element in deter
mining the amount of credit to whioh it is
entitled.”
It is undoubtedly true that the character
of the managers of a great railway corpora
tion has much to do with the confidence
felt in its securities. If its managers are
stock jobbers, speculators or have the repu
tation of being railway wreckers,the public
Is very apt to regard its securities with sus
picion. Those seeking investments do not
know whether the exhibits of its earnings
and expenses are correct or not. They are
apt to doubt they are, and in valuing them
they are influenced greatly by this doubt.
And if the manager of a great railway
corporation is believed to be unequal to his
responsibilities, even though his share of
earnings is satisfactory, the securities of
that corporation are pretty certain to have a
market value below their real worth, be
cause there is a feeling that sooner or later
the corporation will meet with disaster.
Tnege are comparativly few men cornpe
tent to manage groat railway systems, but
they can be found, and their service ob
tained by paying what they are worth. A
great railroad system to be prosperous
must have men in control of it who com
mand the confidence of the public aud must
have a manager big enough intellectually to
direct its affairs to the best advantage.
The next act in the Drayton-Borrowe
society comedy-drama (or tragedy, as the
case may be)is likely to be enacted in New
York. There is little probability that either
will renew tho quarrel on tho Majestic, the
English ship upon which both of the princi
pals are passengers to New York. On the
ship they are under tho British flag, and
any infraction of English law would cause
tbe violator to be taken to England for
trial. And In England juries are not so
sympathetic as they are in America. Cold
facts and the law make up the case there,
without much attention to mitigating cir
cumstances. Both of the principals to the
quarrel know that; so if they have deter
mined to take pistol practioe at each other,
they will probably wait until America is
reached. The vessel is due in New York
to-day, when it is anticipated there will be
more sensational developments in tho
matter.
A Sicilian living in Harlem (N. Y.) on
Sunday morning invitod his friends to a
rather novel entertainment—that is, novel
for America; it may be an everyday enter

come over and see how oleverly he cculd
carve him to death with a stiletto. Sure
enough the friends attended, together with
a policeman, wbo had heard of the pro
gramme. Tbe self-appointed executioner
was in high spirits, armed with a stiletto
and a navy revolver awaiting his victim.
Tbe policeman changed the bill by march

The Duty of the Democracy.
From the Mercer (Pa.) Western Press (Dem.),
The paramount duty of democrats this year is
to elect a democratic President and another
democratic House.
The Oration Not Yet Due.
From the Sew York Press (Rep,).
Tho Standard oil trust announces officially
that it is dead. Still it may be just as well to
wait awhile before pronouncing tbe funeral
oration.
Cleveland or a Western Man.
From the St. Louis Republic (Dem.).
Cleveland clubs are being rapidly organized in
the south under the effects of Senator Hill's
vigorous campaigning. Tbe senator is helping
things greatly, and when tbe Democratic party
meets in convention its nominee will be Cleve
land or a western man.
There A re Also Wrong Times forThtnge
From the Boston Globe Kind.).
There is scriptural warrant for the belief that
there is a time for everything, but tbis is em
phatically not tiie time for the democratio
majority in congress to be pushing the silver
question to the front and the tariff question to
tun rear. Abraham Lincoln's counsel was wise.
“Never swap horses when crossing a stream."
The Free Silver Question.
From the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche. (Dsm.).
The southern senators and representatives
who are supporting the free silver movement in
congress are mistaken in their belief that the
south is in favor of the free coiuage of that
metal. Tbe people do not want it. This may
be proved by inquiry among those whose ener
gies are now contributing to the advancement
of the material interest of the south. “Free
silver" Is a catch phrase that has had its day.
Political Progress In Maine.
From the Chicago Timet 1 Dem.)
Czar Reed thinks the Democratio party has no
promise of advance in any direction. The gen
Ueinan from Maine forgets that a large propor
tion of his own party have deserted t heir colors
and gone oror to the opposition. This betokens
au advance in ou direction. These disgusted
republicans favored reforms promised by both
partln* and euly sincerely sought by democrats.
They hate forsaken their ova political affilia
iwns uot from a ‘ hangs of heart, but because
they saw promise of progress toward a needed
reform impossible outside the IzeuiuWaUc
party.
As to Chicago’s Flewtness.
Tbe old gentleman had been In Chicago for a
week, says the Detroit Free Press, and during
that time he had been so crowded os the side
walks and jostled uc against walls and prodded
in th-* side and shoved hither and yon by the
throng that when be reae .ed the railroad sta
tion to return to his home his patience was very
nearly exhausted. When be bought his ticket
and started tor tbe train a station official re
marked:
“Hurry up, sir, or you’ll miss your train.”
"Hustle there, hustle," shouted tbe man at
tbe gate
"I don’t have to. I guess, do I?” he asked,
turning to the official
"You do if you want to catch that train.”
“ Hut I don't have to catch it unless 1 want to,
do 15" be asked pleadingly.
“I suppose not; but Chicago is a fart place,
sir, a fast place, and you can’t keep up with the
procession if you don't hustle. ”
"People don't get honest here any faster than
they do elsewhere, do they?" asked the old
gentleman, seriously.
"No. I can’t say they do."
“Nor they don’t become law-abiding, re
spectable citizens any faster, do they?" 17 ,*
"1 suppose not," and the official's face wore
a puzzled look.
“Nor develop the Christian graces any faster.
do they?”
"No. I guess not ”
“Nor reach the highest type of manhood and
womanhood any faster, do they?’’
Tnis was getting a little too far over for the
official, but be shook his head negatively
“Nor learn any faster their duty to their fel
low man, do they?”
“I guess not.”
"Nor become lovers of their country and pro
motive of its welfare any faster, do they?"
Again the official shook his head.
“Nor go to heaven any faster, do they?"
"Not muob,” replied the official emphat
ically.
The old gentleman took out his watch and
looked into its honest face
"I have two minutes in which to walk a hun
dred feet. I guess I can make it without blow
ing out a cylinder head, can’t I?” he queried
gently, and tbe official picked up his sacbel and
carried it for him out through the gate and
across the platform.
A Chance Acquaintance.
Ingersoll told a good story to a party of gen
tlemen who were ceding upon him at the Deni
son, two weeks ago, says the Indianapolis
Journal. A gentleman entered a street car
and took his seat opposite a fine, portly, aristo
cratic looking personage, whom he at once
thought he recognized. Me looked hard at the
man for a time, until be saw he was causing
him considers bio discomfiture. He then changed
his seat for one beside the bandsome
looklng man, and, as he did
so. turned to the latter with the
remark: ’I beg your pardon, sir, for my ques
tion. but lain so strongly seized with the im
pression that we have met before.”
The gentleman good-naturedly replied that
he, too, thought he had seen the other's face
but was at a loss to tell where.
Roth rode on in silence for some blocks, al
ternately exchanging side glances, but saying
never a word. Finally the man who had
broached the subject broke out with, "Hold
on; I have it, sir. Weren't you blown up at
the battle of Vicksburg?”
"Yes?" replied the other, inquiringly.
"Then that explains it. So was I. When you
were going up I was coming down, and I
thought as I looked at you then, that that
fellow would give a good deal to be as near the
ground as I am. I knew I had seen your faoe
some place, comrade,”
’'Now that Is wliat I call a wonderful mem
ory," said Col. Ingersoll, with a hearty laugh.
Egotism Rebuked.
Mt . Perdu, in the Pyrenees, is difficult of ac
cess, and a French woman, Mme. L , had made
a vow that she would be the first woman to
stand upon its summit, says the Youth's Com,
panion. She engaged four guides, and eu-’
gaged them to carry her body to the summit
alive or dead.
No carrying was needed, however. The party
camped over nignt on the way, and in the
morning triumphantly gained the top.
But now the fair climber undid all the glory
of the exploit. A bottle had long baen kept in
a niche of the rock at the top, to be opened by
each rare new coiner for the inscription of his
name. (rnr heroine opened this bottle scattered
the precious contents to the winds, and Inserted
her card in their plac-, declaring that there
should be but one name found on the crest of-
Mount Perdu.
SSGreat was the indignation In the valley when
the ungenerous act was noised abroad. A young
stranger, wbo was staying at St. Bauveur no
sooner heard of the occurrence than he started
up the mountain, and a day or two later Mme.
L., then in Paris, received a polite note inclosing
the card that the had left as a boastful me
mento on the summit of Mt. Perdu.

Yet I give this word of warning:
Wear your rubbers every morning!
Wear them evenings, aud endeavor

And return them on the morrow.

Why He Saved the Boy.
There was an old negro floating in a skiff on
the headwaters of the Licking, says the Fargo
(N. D.) Forum. He was fishing—fish mighty
fine down that way. He had a boy in the boat
with him who kept looking into the water until
he lost his balance and disappeared in tho
water. Quicker than I could tell you the old
mau had his coat off and dove for tho boy. He
brought tiim up all right and then rowed for
the bank. When they got out, dripping, of
course, a white man, who had seen the whole
business, complimented the old man in his
heroic act.
“He must be a bod of yours," said the white
man.
“No; no. sah; no son o’ mine."
"Nephew, then?"
“No; no. sab; no nephew.”
“Cousin?”
"No; no cousin.”
“Then you deserve all the more credit for
saving his life.”
"Well, I doau’ know ’bout dat, boss. You
See, he had all de bait in his pocket.”
Mutual Trust Was In Order.
“Boss,” said an aged colored man to a for
mer employer of his, a Jefferson avenue
merchant, Saturday, says the Detroit Free
Press. ”1 wish you’d lend me fo’ dollars.
We haln’t got no coal nor nuffin’toeat.”
“Why should I lend you $4?” was the reply;
“how do I know you will ever pay it?”
‘TH pay It suab, boss, jest as suah as yer
bawn when I gets it.”
"But how do I know you’ll ever get it. Sam?"
said the merchant. “I don’t believe I ought to
trust you.”
"Hadn't oughter trust me, boss” said the
old negro reproachfully; “why, boss if I had a
thousand dollar I'd trus you wid every cent of
it.”
The argument was Irresistible and brought
the fo' dollars.
On Nov. 3, in the churches of France, It was
once permitted to the people, and even in cer
tain places expected, that they should bring
their dogs to church with them. Even now, on
that day. though the people do not go to church
aocompanied by their Newfoundlands, their
pugs, or their bull-terriers, they talk as if they
were going to do so, and pleasantly ask one an
other, in the afternoon, "Did you take your dog
(o mass this morning ?”

The most expensive of England’s soldiers’
garbs is the bandmaster’s of the Life Guards,
which cost $lB6. A trooper’s of the same
regiment costs $!0. A sergeaut drummer of
the Foot Guard may well "swell Ids chest”
when he wears a tunic oosting no less than
$3? 60, the total value of his "rigout" being
sl2? .'io. The cheapest uniform of all is that of
a private or ordinary infantry regiment, valued
at $Bl.
The horse-power unit was established by
James Watt about a century ago, and the
figures were settled in a curious way. Watt,
in tiis usual careful manner, proceeded to find
out tbe average work which the horses of hia
district could perform, and he found that the
raising ot 22.000 pounds one foot per minute
was about the actual horse-power. Asa method
of encouraging business, Watt offered to sell
engines reckoning 33,000 foot pounds to a horse
power, or one-third more than the actual.
Honey could bo immensely improved by the
planting of flowers known to yield a fine
flavored nectar. Every one knows the differ
ence in the quality of the comb contents in
different parts of thp saroo country and in
different regions. The Narbonne honey derives
Its fine flavor by being harvested chiefly from
labiate plants, such as rosemary, etc , and
although it appear* that the Maltese honey
does not, as often stated, owe its fine aroma to
orange blossoms, the latter undeniably perfume
the Greek honey.
Ekward Nathaniel Lewer, who was all his
life connected with the London Stock Exchange,
and died on May 7. 1876, aged 80. once said in
all seriousness that during the Napoleonic wars
so much false news of politics and army move
ments came through Hamburg that anything
that smacked of the incredible was received
with the derisive phrase, “That's Hamburg,"
whence is derived by corruption tbe word
"humbug.” If the word does not date back be
yong the period referred to. it seems a more
reasonable derivation tLan the very labored one
we get in Webster's Dictionary.
Like the British House of Commons, the
lower house of the United States congress at
Washington possesses a symbol of its authority
in the form of a mace. It looks like the fasces
which were borne by the lictors before the
Roman tribunes and- consuls, and consists of a
bundle of thirteen ebony rods entwined and
bound together with silver bands The thirteen
ebony sticks represent the thirteen original
states of the union They are surmounted by
a globe of silver, upon which the hemispheres
are traced, while asilver eagle with outstretched
wings is perched upon the summit of the globe.
It was made in 1831. weighs twenty pounds, and
is intrusted to the custody of the sergeaut-at
arms.
Says a Cincinnati literary man: “I used to
think that the word ‘sophomore’ waf made up
of the Greek word signifying wise and tbe
English word ‘more.’ Tho word was thus appl
icable, I thought.Jto the second class in a college
because they were ’more wise’ than their fel
lows in their own estimation. But it seems that
the word has a purer genealogy and a meaning
even less fla'tering to the class of collegians
to whom it is applied. It was first
used at the University of Cambridge,
England, aud In its infancy appeared in
the form, ‘soph-mor.’ It was composed of the
words 'soph.' a contraction for ’sophister,’ and
a Greek word over three years and one term.
The respectivmclasses of students were termed
freshmen, or first-year men; junior sophs or
soph-mors, -senior .sophs and questioners.
This nomenclature was transferred to the
American higher institutions of 'learning, and
In the form freshmen, juniors and seniors still
exists, while it has wholly disappeared on the
other side of the water.”
When Senator Manderson, who Is president
pro tern, of the Senate, presides over the de
liberations of that body he can wield a gavel
which has perhaps as much historic interest to
the square inch as any similar Implement of
the kind It was presented to him recently by
a committee appointed at a meeting of tbe
Nineteenth Regiment, Ohio Infantry Associa
tion, held in Detroit in August last. In carry
ing out their instructions the committee had
the gavel made of woods from the prominent
battle fields where the regiment, led by their
commander, Gen. Manderson, participated in
the conflict between the north and south. The
handle, made of cherry, bears the name of
Rich Mountain, which was one of the first bat
tles fought in West Virginia On the other
woods forming the gavel are the names of
Shiloh, Jonesboro’, Stone River, Rocky Face,
Pickett's Mills, Kenesaw Mountain, Mission
Ridge, and Lovejoy’s Station. Senator Mander
son, in his letter acknowledging tnis gift, states
that he will place it by the side of the brace of
pistols that were presented to him by the mem
bers of his regiment after the desperate battle
of Stone River.
