A dispatch from Washington,
D. C., states that there is no doubt
of the election of Representative
Cannon to the speakership of the
house of representatives.
THE UNCERTAINTY OF JURIES.
The uncertainty which attends
the deliberations of the average
jury was most forcibly demonstra-
ted the other day in New York
City when the jury, into which the
life or death of Rotund B Molineaux
had been placed for the alleged
poisoning of a Mrs. Adams some
two years ago in that city.
In the first trial of Molineaux,
which lusted for, perhaps, three
months, the jury dually found him
guilty. The case was appealed to
to the supreme court and the Verdict
of the lower couit set aside and a
new trial granted. The case was
then taken up ip the court in which
it was first tiied. After weeks of
hearing testimony of hand-writing
experts, etc., the jury brought m a
verdict of not guilty, and Molineaux
is now a free man.
Tuking this incident as an exam
ple, how can a man who is brought
into court be assured that he will
receive justice? What guarantee
has he that a blundering jury will
decide the case according to the law
and the evidence f

The children of Atlanta have
petitioned the management of the
street railway service for a cheaper
car fare, Atlunta can alwuys be
depended on to do the unusunl.
The house passed the Australian
ballot bill Wednesday by a vote of
93 10 33- An effort was made to
have the bill disfranchise all but
those who can read, but the legis
lators fought shy of the proposi
tion.
The Atlanta Constitution of
Wednesday says that it is possible
that the legislature will appro
priate $330,000 to the asylum, that
amount having been agreed upon
by the committee having the mat
ter in charge.
It is now settled beyond ques
tion that the republican party in
Congress vyill make a bard effort to
cut down the South’s representa
tion in that body. Of course, if
this plan is determined on, noth
ing can prevent.
r
■ The attempted assinntion of King
Leopold, of Belgium, turns out to
be a huge fuke. It appears that
the king’s popularity hus been on
the wane for sometime with his
people, and he took this means to
ingratiate himself ipto the good
graces of -his people. It seems the
ways and schemes of roynlity are
not much removed from those of
common, everyday people. '
The democratic party should not
be discouraged over the results of
the recent elections. Notwith
standing the loud boasting of the
republican newspapers, the leuders
of the party; who are in a position
to view the internal workings of
tilings, aie not so sungume over the
future success of the party. Dis
sensions are cropping out in places
unlooked for. The president is not
in accord with a majority of his
party in congress on the tariff issue.
Being gifted with a longer and
clearer vision than they are, he has
seen certain signs of the times
which have decided him into a
determination to cull an extra ses
sion of congress for the purpose of
tuking some steps in regard to a
revision of the tariff. It would not
be surprising, from present indica
tions, if a split over this question
should occur.
Chairman Griggs, of the national
democratic congressional commit
tee, is due much praise from his
iriends and party in Georgia, his
native state, as well as from all
Over the union , for hi* splendid
management of the congressional
campaign. Although the tide was
against him, Chairman Griggs did
valiant service for bis party and
succeeding in materially reducing
the republican majority in the
national house of representatives.
In every community in the whole
civilized wot Id, where as many as
one dozen people live, yob will find
in that community so many sore
head* and chronic kickers. Never
is any new enterprise broached or
any public improvement talked of
but that the kicker and the sore
head will at once come to the front
with his loud opposition. He is
agin anything and everything.
And almost without fail, upon in
Yeitigatiou, it will be found that he
pays less taxes than any man in the
Community and makes bis wife
chop the wood.

A brand new idea ba» been orig
inated in Waycross in the nature of
a “Workingman’s Co-operative
Grocery Store." The movement
was started by the employes of the
Atlantic Coast Line shops. The
plan is to organize und charter a
company under the laws of the
state oi Georgia with a paid in
capital of not leas than $3,500.
Shares are to be issued at the par
value of five dollars each, and every
person in Waycross Is eligible to
become a member of the company
except a merchant'or a capitalist.
It is claimed by ' the promoters of
the co-operative store that a great
dea|of trade will .be kept in Way-
cross by the organization, ot this
company that has formerly gone to
Savannah and other cities. This
is certainly an unique plun, and
should succeed. ‘
Why should not the next demo'
cratic candidate for president be-a
southern man ? Is the south ever
going to be recognized? Southern
voters constitute the brawn und
sinew of the democratic party,
without which the organization
would have to go out of business,
and yet not since the civil war has
a southern man headed the demo
cratic national ticket. Is there any
justice in this? Is there any policy
in it? Southern men will not
always submit Jo furnishing the
votes and the other fellow getting
the pudding.

WHHRB IS HE?
What ha* become of the poor old
“bum" primer? We seldom see
anything of hilii these days of the
falling leaves and juckfrost. He it
liken unto the imigrating bird,
When the chilly blasts of winter
begin their sighing through the
leafless branches of the trees, he
betakes himself unto a warmer and
more congenial clime.
Work? Well, I guess not. Not
Mr. B. P. He wasn’t built on
those dimensions. But if there is
anything of a liquid nature hanging
around with a iaint smell of the
worm, Mr. B. P. is your man every
day in the year. But poor old
bum, his days seem to be numbered.
He is of few days and full of
worry.
One can hardly pick up a daily
paper now days without reading of
one or more suicides, and the most
striking feature of this fact is that
u great majority ot these suicides
are young people, early m the race
of life, and at that stage of existence
when life should be most dear and
full of happiness aud hope for the
future. It does seem that tlure is
an epidemic, of suicide sweeping
over this country, just as, at times,
there are epidemics of murder.
