The Athens Banner is using its
letter from Grover Cleveland for
all it in worth. It is so seldom a
country editor receives a letter
from one so noted as Mr> Cleve
land that he feels like blowing
bver the fact with all Btenm.

Congressman Lon Livingston
. says neither Bryan 11'or Cleveland
will cut much ice in the next
democratic national convention.
Mr. Livingston rightly says the
party needs and wants a man who
can command the support of both
factions of the party. Until this
man is found democracy will lie
at sea as to a presidential candi
date.

Markus A. Hannah is one of the’
busiest men in the Uuitod States
today. Thoro is something up
Mark’s sleeve ns sure as fnto. It
is claimed that the presidential beo
has been buzzing around Mark’s
hat of late, and he has been mak
ing special pains to make himself
popular with all classes, hence he
has beon designated tho great
“juggler.”

while his body was being cremato-
cd, and a band was engaged by his
relatives and discoursed music
according to a program the de
ceased had prepared for the oc
casion and his relatives drank flue
champagne as they listened to the
music of^the band and wished tho
deceased a pleasant voyage.

Tho faiflous farm owned by
defaulter Sims^p to the time ho
was oxposod in tho stealing opera
tions from tho Capital City Bank
in Atlanta was sold one day last
week on tho block for 110,500.
The farm contains 1, 08# acres,
and tho price paid is only a very
smjnll part of its real value. It is
said to be one of tho most mag-
nifleient plantations in Georgia,
having all the modern improve*
incuts, Tho horses and mules wore
sold for $2, UK). The fine cows and
fine blooded bulls, tho snw mill,
dairying apparatus, planing mill
and similar connections were not
put up for sale, as it was seen thnt
nothing like their real value could
be realized.

HOW TO SETTLE THE NEORO
QUESTION.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Charleston (S.C.) News, says that
republican newspapers would con
sent tomorrow to the dictum that
“ this is a white man’s country,
it the people of tho South would
consent to cut out the negro as a
basis of representation ill federal
affairs.” It is ft pity that the
question of color can not be elim
inated from tho discussion of re
form of the suffrage. The people
of the South object to giving the
vote to the negro on the ground
that the lntter is not mentally
qualified to exerciso the suffrage.
In this contentiou many thought
ful northern men, both democrats
and republicans, agree, but they
argue that if the illiterate, irre
sponsible and untrustworthy black
voter in the South is "excluded
from the right of suffrage, the
same exclusion should apply l>oth
in the North and the South to the
white voters of the slums in our
great cities, who have no appre
ciation of their suffrage right. Is
there not some statesman in the
South or in the. North with the
’
..... in.—
courage and patriotism to propose
a constitutional amendment re
stricting the suffrage, in some di
rections, at least, to those who are
capable of understanding the ex
alted privilege it confers? Is there
not a common ground on which
thoughtful men of both parties
and both sections can stand? Why
make it a question of color ? Is
it not, rather a question of fitness
and capacity ?—Leslie's Weekly.

AT SEA.
A Washington correspondent
has this to say of the political
situation relative to a Democratic
presidential candidate:
“As a rule, the Republicans are
united, or they say tliey are, upon
President Roosevelt, who, ull sav,
will be re-nominated unanimously
at the next convention, and easily
re-elected. A'number of men are
mentioned for tho vice-presidency,
but none positively.
“ With tln^ Democrats it is dif
ferent. Senator Tillman declares
the mention of former President
Cleveland’s nanitf is a direct in
sult to the Democratic party, and
he looks to William Jennings
Bryan, despite the fact that the
latter lias led the party to nothing
but chaos and defeat while posing
ns the saviour of the Democrats.
“ Fqrnier Speaker Carlisle is for
anybody who can'consolidate the
party and stand a (/hnnee of being
elected. VJIe could not, however,
mention tho man. Naturally, he
favors nn Easterner generally, and
Mr. Cleveland particularly.
“According to Senator Bank-
head, Alabama favors Senator
Gorman, who is distrusted and
disliked by Mr. Bryan, despite the
fact that he raised the funds with
which Mr. Brynn made his famous
campaign In New York, and also
was one of the two prominent
eastern Democrats who voted
for Bryan. The other was Judge
Parker. J
“ Representative Sulzer,^>f New
York, said that State could he
carried by Judge Parker. Tho
others interviewed usually an
nounced that they woulfl support
any candidate, but had none of
thoir own.
“All of the men from the Ijouth
and West, however, united in. op
posing former President Cleveland
which indicates that. Mr. Bryan is
still much stronger in these local
ities than the eastern men gave
him credit for being.
“Concerning Mr. Gormnn, Rc*i-
resentntive Banklmnd said:
“ ‘ I havo talked the matter over
thoroughly and I find Mr. Gorman
is more strongly supported fhan
any of the other candidates men
tioned. I cannot see why former
President Cleveland should lie sup
ported. He did not work for the
regular party or vote for it in 1800
nor in 1000, which, in my opinion,
bars him. Judge Pnrker is clean
nud-n good judge, hut in my opin
ion he lacks the political experi
ence necessary in n presidential
candidate. Personally I favor Mr.
Gorman.’
“The majority of the Democrats
were of the opinion that Mr. Bryan
bad finally come to the conclusion
thnt he could not obtniu the nom
ination ngniu, and that he could
not be elected if he did,”

A SEANCE OF SPOOKS.
In Philadelphia,Boston and New
York there have been given during
the last winter a number of ma
terializing seances. Similar sean
ces are given in London. There
the effects are produced by
professional conjurers. Hhere they
are the work of professional medi
ums. Assuming that in both cases
the results are obtained by the
same means; the mediumistic
manifestations are the more inter
esting. In the halls of the
conjurers the pnraphernalias are
allowed to bo examined. In the
cabinets of the mediums we have
been enabled to examine. We did
not stop there. We examined the
walls, the floors, the rooms above
and the rooms beneath. In the
examination we found nothing
suggestive of fraud or explanatory
of the manifestations.
These manifestations are curious.
Generally the cabinet is a recess
hung with curtains. The medium
enters it and the lights are lowered
.Shortly, from behind the curtains
a voice is heard. It is, you are
informed,tho voice of tho mediums
control. The voice tells you that
there is no death. Then, by way
of demonstration, a spook appears
Sometimes two spooks. On one,
occasion we counted seven simul
taneous apparitions. These appari
tions were conversational and even
sociable. One gave us her hnnd,
another a flower. Presehtly they
disappeared. Some retreated into
the cabinet. Others sank through
the floor. One simply vanished
The latter, a perfectly tangible old
man, seemed to snuff himself out
HoW ho did it we can’t say. The
process was not clear nor the utili
ty of it either. For if like some
of our friends, you caro to believe
that these apparitions uro real
spirits, you are, in that oven, com
pelled to wonder whether they
have nothing better to do than to
como back here and perform gym
nasties. There is a further subject
for wonder. The conversation of
those spririts is entertaining, hut
not inspiring. You get nothing
which you did not know before
Instoad of revelations concerning
the hereafter you receive news of
somebody’s nunt. ** These things
ard curious, but not convincing.
Yet of such is u seance of spooks.
