IS IT SPEAKER CRISP?
The Constitution of yesterday contains
a special from Washington touching the
speakership question, that so nearly
affects Judge Crisp’s chances that it is
i reproduced below.
Whil^the matter is not necessarily
settled, the probabilities are very strong
that by some turn Mi*. 3D!! will be out
of the race, and the field virtually open
to Georgia’s favorite son.
Reports received by prominent Demo-
eratic politicians from Texas indicate
VON HOLTKE DEAD.

names such as are seldom vouchsafed
to one ago much less to one nation.
General Von Moltke died on Friday
night very suddenly of heart failure, at
the age of 91. Ilis death removes the
most conspicuous military figure of the
present generation, and his achievements
in tho Austrian campaign of 1806, and
the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71 rank

“Jack tho Ripper” has committed
one of his Whitechapel murders iu New
York, and his victim is a woman. It is
safe to say that crimes of this character
cannot be practiced so extensively in
-this countryjas in England, and the per
petrator will soon bo caught and brought
to justice.
Bill McKixlky is preparing to say
farewell to Washington, and will loave
that city early next month. His pres
ence there has helped to put a heavy
burden upon the country, and the poo-
plo of this section would willingly say
farewell to Billie and his bill too if It
were possible.
Douolassvillk has a sensation in tho
disappearance of two of its prominent
citizens—a man and a woman—the
.former a husband and the latter a
widow. They have been tracked to
Jacksonville, Fla, and last, but their

*tbat matters will turn up a little better

Tom Watson need not lie afraid of
• the Democracy of Charles F. Crisp. Tom
: is aclever, sharp, well meaning fellow,
but hit constituents will have cause to
feel surprisingly proud of him if, during
* his term in Congress, he shonld show
.half the zeal, ability and faithfulness of
devotion to Democratic principles that
have characterized Charley Crisp. Tom
has made a big mistake.—ishmaelite.
Tub evidence on both sides in the
famous Martin case at Birmingham was
concluded Friday evening, and nothing
now or sensational has developed since
the statement of tho prisoner. Yester
day was consumed in argument and able
apeeehes were made on both sides. Tho
sympathy of the people of Birmingham
seems to be with the fair defendant, and
public sentiment cannot fail to effect
the jury.
! bill passed the senate is one of the pleas-
j ant memories of tho forty-eighth con-
j press. He explained that when the voto
| was taken he was “down stairs taking a
j hath, a thing he had never done before
j in his life.” Of course, he meant that
i lie was never before absent on such an
| important vote, but his friends insisted
on “guying” liim about- his admission
that he had never bathed except on that
occasion.
It is known that 3Ir. Mill’s heart is set
on Reagan’s seat, and this will bo his
last term In the house, whether he ob
tains the senatorsbip or not. Indeed,he
has very recently stated as much in a
public interview. Moreover, he has
made a pretty thorough canvas of tho
Democratic members of tbo uext house,
and is discouraged at the prospect of re
alizing his speakership ambitions. He
and his friends, therefore, have gotten
up this deal, which will let Reagan
down into a soft berth, put Mills into the
senate and save him the mortification of
being defeated in his speakership cam
didacy.
With Mills out of tho race, Judge
Crisp, of Georgia, will have a walk
over.
Some of tho Texans scout the
idea of the rumored deal. They do not
pretend to have direct information on
the subject, but arguing from what they
know of the political situation in Texas,
they say It is highly improbable. Tho
weak point in the program, they Bay, is
tho appointment of Reagan on the rail
road commission. That appointment,
they say, would have to be made by
Governor Hogg, who was a violent anti
prohibitionist during tho famous Texas
prohibition campaign, and Reagan was
equally as violont the other way. Tho
feeling between the two men became ex-
tremoly bitter, and Hogg’s friends say
that ho would not sign any commission
with Reagan’s namo upon It.
John P Giikkx, the colored lawyer
and orator, does not like the now term,
“Afro-American,” for tho people of his
race. “I liko the word ‘negro,’ with a
big X,” he declared at a Cleveland ban
quet recently. Sensible man. Why
should a negro bo ashamed of his proper
designation, any more than a Chinee, a
Jap, a Hindoo or an Indian? A pure
blooded negro ought always to insist
upon being called a negro with a big X
not “colored,” for that means the va
rious shades between the black and
white, which miscegenation has dis
graced the pure blooded raca with.
When negroes learn to be proud of
being negroes, and their natural color
they will make better citizens, than
when they are ashamed of being called
what they were created, negroes with a
big N.
Florida is now getting a dose of the
two-thirds rule, and the leading papers
are calling vigorously for the legislature
to break the deadlock. The Times-

OSBORN WILL HAND.
Charles Osborn, who shot and killed
I. M. Bradley, in tho latter’s store, in
Atlanta last year, will pay the penalty of
his rashness on the gallows. He has just
had a hearing before the supreme court
which sustained-the verdict of the court
below, and it now only remains for
Jndgo Clarke to re-sentenco the prisoner
and sot a day for the execution.
In handing down the decision the su
preme court expresses its views of the
case as follows:
The evidence discloses tlint an stroclous,
unprovoked and d Uarratc murder was
committed by tho defendant. The verdict
finding him guilty mul imposing upon him
the penalty of death, In ,ur opinion, renders
exact and substantial justice. Afltr a
thorough, careful and anxious examination
of the entire record we are fully convinced
that the Judgment of the court below should
stand. It Is well xtmwn that Juries are re
luctant to take away by their verdicts the
1 ves of their fellow-creatures, and when
good men, Iu the faithful and conscientious
discharge of a painful duty, enforce and vin
dicate the law as the Jury In this case un-
doub edlydid, we do not leel authorised tj
discourage them and other* who may try
s ch eases In future by rettltg aside a verdict
whPh is manifestly right.
It 1h the first time in a number of
years that a plain verdict of murder has
been rendered in Fulton county, as in
most cases the juries have been lenient,
and attached the recommendation of
mercy. But this case should be a les
son to all “pistol toters.” Osborn was
mad and no doubt prepared for a fuss
before he left his own place of business.
He did not collect the amount in dis-
E ute, but he succeeded in blighting two
appy homes, and bringing his own
neck to the hangman’s noose.
In the rauks of Germany’s generals,
there is none who can handle his sword;
and with his death the last of the great
leaders of modern warfare passes from
the stage.
A word of praise from Editor Sid
Lewis of the Ishmaelite means a great
deal, for he never hesitates to say just
what he thinks, be it favorable or other
wise. Hence Tub Timeh-Rbcokdbii ap
preciates the compliment paid it by the
Ishmaelite, knowing so thoroughly the
fearlessness that has always character
ized the opinions of this brilliant jour
nalist. The editor of The Timks-Re
cordeu has known Editor Lewis for
twenty-three years, as well as all his
kith and kin, and thinks candor and love
of truth is no less conspicuous than
their ability. Long may Editor Lewis
continue to deal his sledge hammer
blows to all kinds of crookedness, gam
mon and hypocrisy.
