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.

It has been pushed through by the women of the 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 south when they once get to work." 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 doing sway with a crying evil In the laws re latlng to the administration of Justice In this state.

Illness, peculiar ooaupetlon, urgent business or other condi tions which might appeal to ihe coart. 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.

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.
