Massachusetts is to be. redistricted
so as to give the Democrats seven and
Republicans only six congret>smcn. The
legislature is now at work on the bill,
and if they will only fix it so that Henry
Cabot Lodge will be left at home the
country will be thankful.
John Young Hkown will be the next
governor of Kentucky. The state con
vention which meet in Louisville Wed
nesday, after a most harmonious session,
gave ldin the democratic nomination on
the eleventh ballot, and lie will have an
easy victory over any one whom the re
publicans can put in the field against
him.

state who undertook the work and have
not suffered it to lag alnce it* inception.
It is rather hard to match (lie energy
and determination of the women of the

It ib not infrequently the case that a
man’s public aplrit it in Inverse ratio to
the ability of his pocketbook. The Au
gusta Chronicle gives an illustration of
this as follows:
Capt J. R'eeMmlth’aspwih Monday night
wav full of bright saying,. Here I. one or
them: If I was rich I would give,! to the
Exposition, but a, I am a poor mail, Mr.
Chairman, you can put me down forfil.
Col. John Tbiiilett never misses an
opportunity to announoe a marriage in
the columns of the T1 mcs-Knterprise,
and yet, poor fellow, he knows very lit
tle about such affairs. The veteran
bachelor of the Georgia press may yet
be persuaded by some fair damsel to do
for himself what he has done for so
many others—announoe his own matri
monial alliance.
Tins is what the Atlanta Constitution
has to say in compliment of Tiik Timbh-
Recorder and its work for Amerlcus,
and her prospective speaker:
Tn« Akbbiocs fiHKS-KaooHDKn Is put
ting In some excellent work for Hpeaker
Cri.p—to be And In thlseonneetlon It may
be remark'd that tho 11a, hand of Haacorn
Myrick is plainly visible In the editorial ool-
umnsol our Amerlcus eonteaiiorary. It
goes with ul saying that Amerlcus now has
the best paper she has ever had.
A bill has been introduced ia the
Florida aenate amending the railroad
commission law of that atato so as to
make the offices of railroad commission
ers elective by the people, instead of ap
pointed by the governor as at present,
and the Times-Unlon of Jacksonville,
tblnlce that It will moet with much favor
from tha people. The offioe of railroad
commissioner Is a very important one,
and there la no good reason why the
people should not elect tboip. •
Toe Republic of Columbia Is to be
well represented at the Columbian ex
position at Chicago. The Columbian
government has appointed as commis
sioners two of Its moet distinguished
citizens, and the bulldlug tp (m put up
by our slater republic will be on of the
great attractions of Chicago in 180:1.
Thus far the responses from Amertoan
nations to the invitations to the fair have
been very cordial, and promise the great
est continental American exhibit ever
made la the world.
Senator Blackhvhr, of Keatueky,
la a ringing speech before the state con
vention at Louisville, declares for the
free coinage of stiver, and say* it must
not be straddled by the Democrat* in '02.
The Republicans are entirely responsible
for the deminitlzatlon of silver, and to
the Democrats belongs the credit of
bringing silver up to the 'standard of
gold. The silver question and'tWthrilT
must come along together and with both,
the senator think-, the 'Demdeistowltl
march on to victory.
President Uarriso* has returned to
Washington. There was no demonstra
tion upon his arrival there, only his
grandchildren and the usual crowd about
tha depot being present. The nearer to
the white house Mr. flarrison got, the
(era the desire on the part of the people
to see him. That he ia a very small fish
baa been folly demonstrated from the
beginning, and tbla waa plainly shown
when he left Mr. Blaine at home, for
fear that the latter would knock the
shine off of the man with the big bar.
IniTSAD of approaohlng an end the
Florida senatorial contest teems farther
from settlement as each day passes.
The fight shows new phases every
twenty-four boors, which Increases the
bitterness of the oppoeieg factions, and
drives them farther and farther from
each other, and It now seems impossible
that either of the candidate* before the
caucus will ever receive the nomination.
So one can receive the
thirds vote, and the beet
be dene Is to abolish that
msainra, nominate Call and g* home.
talent of Ingalls are undisputed, the
above comparison is almost too strongly
drawn. No living American on the
stage or off is Booth’s equal as an actor,
and only Irving, Forrest, Macready, Sal-
vini and Junius Brutus Booth have ever
contested the palm with him in the
world in modern times.
As a word painter, no man who ever
spoko or wrote Engliah ever surpassed
Ingersoll, and ills the highest merit of
Ingalls that he Is a close and success
ful imitator of the great Agnostic, whose
beautiful periods arc the wonder of his
admirers and the despair of his imita
tors. But for his heterodoxy, which
causes him to bo feared and denounced
by Christians, lie would, by common
consent, rank facile princeps among the
greatest orators and writers of ancient
or modern times.
Tlie results Ingersoll could have
achieved, if lie had been fighting under
the banner of the cross instead of
against it, would 'be surpassed by no
man that ever lived; and could be com
pared only to tho military successes of
the great Napoleon sweeping the plains
of Europe during tho first years of his
unparsilelod career.
Ingalls Is a wonderful man, but he is
not the equal of either Booth or Inger
soll. He lacks the sincerity which car
ries conviction with the words they ut
ter; bis words are only words, not senti
ments; and beneath the gilding of Lia
ornate sentence* the baser metal of in
sincerity can too often be detected.
What he says would carry more weight
if the public were convinced that he
himself felt as he talked; but his record
Is not consistent, and too often has he
sacrificed truth to point an epigram, and
sincerity,to launch an oratorical thunder
bolt.
NO EXEMPTIONS
The Timed-Recorder feels free to
say that the jury system as managed In
many of our large cities is a farce, and
oft times produces travesties on justice
instead of promoting it, and the larger
the city the worse the system.
It is nigh time, that with the rapid
advance of civilization and the more
complicated relations of society and
business, the crudities of a systom
originated by our semi-barbarous ances
tors should be eliminated, and the sug
gestion that the legislature take up this
question this summer is a very oppor
tune one.
The higher our enlightenment, the
lower the average scale of jury intelli
gence is ' dropping, and the remedy is to
be begun in abolishing jury exemptions
in toto.
The Times-Recokdeh commends to
every eitizon who loves his country the
following sensible thoughts from tho
Columbus Enquirer-Sun;
There will be aline opportunity at the sum
mer session of tbs Georgia IsgUlature for
some member to do a great publlo service by

A deal which waa mado by the last
Republican governor of Massachusetts
with a Washington claim agent, who
now olaima that ho was to bo paid a cer
tain amount for engineering through
congress Massachusetts’ share of the di
rect tax bill, bos been repudiated by the
ppiant Democratic cxccutivo of that
state, who rofuses to rccognizo any such
deal or to pay any sum to the agent.
According to this agent, whoso name Is
Davis, he le a member of an association
of claim agent* or lobbyists, who “cre
ated and kept alive" in congress “the
sentiment that It waa proper and wise to
return this tax to the slates." Tills bill,
which is one r' the many to enrich the
North at the' expense of, the South, It
now seems wee forced through congress j
by the nse of money, and if the trutli I
was known more states than Massachu
setts had paid agonta In tlie lobby. j
It is difficult to perceive how the win
ner of a guess differs, in a moral and
legal point of view, from the man who
wins by straigh told-fashioned betting.
This nice distinction could have only
originated in the mind of an English
man,bent on protecting the national sport
of horse racing from any Inroads of law
or gospel that might Interfere with Its
full and free exercise by every Briton
under the sun.
This shows too tho power of the
press. A great and good editor can offer
a prize to the man who will guess the
winning horse, and it will be
ail right, but should a man ignore
the agency of tho good and great editor,
and buy pools on a horse race, or bet
witii another on tlie result, it is gambling
pure and simple.
Now this proves that a great and good
editor sanctifies whatever he touches,
and can make good out of evil.
Those who have been slandering the
press will now have a chance to repent
of their wickedness, and admit that the
editor is a great moral reformer, at least
in the eye of the law. “Go to the editor,
thou gambler, consider his ways, and be
come wise.

SUSTAINED HIS RULINGS.
The college of bishops of the Method
ist Episcopal church south In session at
Nashville rendered a decision in the
matter of the appeal from the ruling of
Bishop Hargrove on a point of law raised
in the Tennesse conference In the pro
ceedings in the case of Rev. D. C. Kelley,
D. D., who, at the last session, was sus
pended from the ministry for six months
on tho ground that he had left bis charge
without proper authority to make the
canvass for the governorship on the pro
hibition ticket.
Dr. Kelley denied hie guilt. The con
ference voted by an overwhelming ma
jority that a trial was not necessary,
but Bishop Hargrove appointed a com
mittee to try the case. Friends of Dr.
Keney denied the right of the bishop to
appoint this committee, and tho consti
tutionality of the law on this point has
been the subjoct of much newspaper
discussion pro and con.
The appeal to the college of bishops
was from Bishop Hargrove’s ruling on
point of law. This appeal was offered
by Revs. B. B. Haynes and T. H. Han
son at the Tennessee conference.
At a meeting of tho college of bishops
the appeal was considered with the
greatest care, and the college sustained
every ruling made by Bishop Hargrove
with the exception of one, the college
holding ia this case that the conference
should not have been denied the right
to appoint a trial committee.
the speakership.
It it still perhaps a little doubtful
about the neat speaker of the national
house of representative*. Mr. Crisp is a
favorite candidate, and the chances are
brighter every day that the gifted young
Georgian will be given the place. He is
not only strong In his record as a demo
crat, but he ia a mau of many personal
attractions and is a very popular mem
bet of congress. Mr. Crisp stand* a
splendid chance for becoming the next
speaker.—Athens Banner.
Wadlev, (Ia., has recently bad a
sensation In an attempted anloide. A
young lady ot that place was engaged to
tour yonng men, and each had obtained
the necessary license for the marriage.
One of the young men cangnt on to the
racket and proceeded to the home ot hit
fair affianced, armed with hla document
and insisted upon an Immediate cere
mony. The young lady could not quite
consent to this, ** abe waa not folly de
cided, whereupon the ardent youth pro
duced a vial of laudanum and drained
the contents to tho bottom. Prompt
medical aid waa procured and the young
man will probably live to ace the girl
married to one of tho other three who ia
bleszed with a little more brains.
The Baltimore and Ohio jiaa pension

The Virginia State colored Baptist j
convention developed one sensible ne- j
gro. In reply to the suggestion that five '
thousand dollars be raised by the Ameri- j
can Baptist Home Missionary Society for |
tho purpose of ectabllshliig colored semi-,
naries In the South, he said: “I am op- :
posed to any more such help from the 1
North. I would say to the home mission ;
board, of New York, pat your money (
somewhere else and 1st os help ourselves.;
If we are ever to stand alone, now la the
time to do aottrat as long as onr North

will be children, and forty yean hence
shall be a* dependent on Northern
