THE EVENING GALL. Vol. X. No. 203. MR. BEEKS ASSAULTED Attacked by Two Neeroes This Mora ine and Badly Bruised. • I Two negroes made a dastardly at tack upon VV M Beeks this morning, and but for the arrival of another gentleman upon the scene Mr. Beeks would have fared very badly Among Mr. Beek’s farm hands are two negroes, Jerry Thomas and his eon, Howard The latter was working a guano distributor this morning when through his carelessness a large quantity of the fertilizer was wasted. Mr. Beeks reprimanded the negro for his carelessness when the boy’s father came up and iuier.’ertd. He asked Mr. Beoks if ho called his son a •> when the gentleman replied that he did not. The negro then said “If you called him a you are one yourself.” Mr. Beeks struck at Thomas with his fist, but was physically no match for the burly negro, who knocked him down. Howard ran to his father’s assist ance with a large rock in his band, but before be got an opportunity to use it, W. N. Woodward, of this city drove up and the negro fled. Mr. Beeks is of the opinion that ba would have been brained with the rock, but for the timely arrival of Mr» Woodward, who drove out to his place to see him on some business. As the negroes fled they passed through Mr. Beeks’ yard and told bis cook that they had “just given old man Bill a d good beating ” Mr. Beeks was in the city this after noon and was considerably bruised up, while bis friends are indignant at the dastardly assault made upon him, by the two negroes whom lie bad be friended in time of ne«d. - ' !- Ordinary’s Court.

BROOKS GROWS IMPATIENT Governor General Wants to Pay Off Cuban Troops. I Havana, April 30.—Governor Gen Brooke purposes to bring the matter of the payment of the troops to a head immediately. Yesterday he sent a request to General Maximo Go mez that the latter and the junta of consulting Cuban generals should come at once to a decision as to whether the Cuban muster rolls are to stand as now made up or are to be reduced, as General Gomez has been expecting. If he could consult his own desires, General Brooke would pay SIOO per man to such as are en titled to share in the $3,000,000, but if General Gomez continues to vouch for 39,920 troops, payment, will be begun without further delay on that basis. On Tuesday, May 2d, three months will have elapsed since Robert P. Por ter, President McKinley’s special com missioner, came to a formal agreement with General Gomez that it was of the first importance that the Cuban army should be paid and disbanded, The Cuban people are pessimists The average Cuban is now whispering his fears of a wild outbreak of brigandage as soon as the troops are paid off. The planters are suspending improvements until developments are known aud projects for investment are held in abeyance. Washington wishes the army prob lem settled as quickly as possible, so as to be able to withdraw at least two mere regiments. American observers do not expect that there will be much outlawry Some they think is inevita ble, but it will be put down so prompt ly as to discourage adventurers. Meat is still 40 cents a pound here, the same as when the import duties on cattle market taxes were collected,! although nearly 20,000 bead of beef! entered free this month.

Croker on the Coming Campaign- Just before be started for Europe ' RichaiU Croker was sicked by the newepapc-ra of New York whether be bud made up his mind as to the proper policy for Tammany Hull io pursue in the ca mpaign of 1900. Ha said be could not speak for the organization, but that speaking for himself he was satisfied that if the Democrats made the 16 to 1 idea the leading issue, they would fail m electing their candidate for President In his opinion the money question should bw left to Con gress lor settlement. lie also said be didn’t think that one-fifth of the voters of the country agreed with Mr. Bryan’s anti-expansion views. As a matter of fact he doesn’t think Mr. Bryan is nearly so big a man as some other men in the Democratic party. If he could have bis way he would make an anti-trust plank the leading one in the Democratic nation al platform. But Mr. Croker isn’t ar xions to keep the Philippines. He would favor a policy of swapping them for the Brit ish West Indies, or a part of Canada, but not before we have compelled the Filipinos to acknowledge our authom ty. \\ e must settle all trouble in the islands before we undertake to dispose of them. Mr. Croker undoubtedly expresses the views of the leading Tammany Democrats, and perhaps the leading Democrats of New York, when he says that the Democratic party cannot carry the country on a platform which makes silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 the leading issue. And it is probable that he expresses the opinion of many Democratic leaders of the West. The Chicago Chronicle, one of the great Democratic dailies of the West, in its issue of Tuesday says: ‘ There isn’t a Democratic Governor in a Northern state. There isn’t a Democratic re presentative in the Senate from any Northern state. With Bryan as a leader and 16 to 1 as an issue, there isn’t likely to be a single electoral vote outside the old cotton states for the Democratic nominee." Are Mr. Croker and the Chronicle of sufficient importance as political prophets to cause the Democratic leaders to hesitate about making the 16 to 1 issue the leading one in the next national campaign? Belmont's Letter- Will Mr. Bryan undertake to an swer Mr. Belmont’s last letter? There are undoubtedly a great many Demos crats who would like for him to an swer it. There is one point in it that ought to be answered, and that this : On what ground does Mr. Bryan base his position that only thoso who are will ing to stand by the platform of 1396 ought to be permitted to assist in the making of the next platform, in view of the assertion of Mr. Belmont, that he, Mr. Bryan, reftrsed to stand by the platform of 1892, and yet insisted on having a hand in making the platform of 1896. Mr. Belmont goes further than tha’, and declares that Mr. Bryan conspired with Silver Republicans and Populists to overthrow the platform of 1892 long before the meeting of the Demo cratic convention of 1896, and, with the help of others, finally succeeded in overthrowing it. If, prior to the con vention ol 1896, Mr. Bryan thought it right to refuse to stand by the platform of 1892, why does be think it wrong, previous to the convention of 1900, to refuse to stand by the platform in existence —the platform of 1896? This is virtually the question which Mr. Belmont asks, and which Mr Bryan is expected to answer. The answer ought /» be the point when it is made"—Sa vannah News. CASTORIA.

An Editor’s Pass- One of the beauties and charms of an editor’s life, says Printer’s Ink, is his dead-heading it on all occasions. No one who has ever feasted on the sweets of that bliss can begin to take in the glory of its happiness He does SIOO worth rd advertising for a rail road, gets a “pass” for a year, rides $25 worth and then is looked upon as a dead-head or half-blown dead-beat He puffs a concert trope S3O worth and gets $1 in complimentary tickets and is thus “passed" free. If the ball is crowded he is begrudged the room be occupies, for if his complimenta ries were paying tickets the troupe would be so much in pocket. He blows and puffs a church festival free to any desired extent, and does the poster Drintine' at half rales, and rarelv o-pfa I ’ • w o • - - a “thank you” for it II goes as part of his duty as an editor. He does more gratuitously for the town and community than all the rest of the population put together, and gets cussed for it all ; while in many in stances where a man donates a few dollars to a Fourth of July celebration, bise ball club or church, is gratefully remembered. Oh, it is such a sweet thing to be called an editor. He passes “free,” you know. Wfei H||* S® Excellent Combination. | The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy.
