“Taunt hu do respect for wealth
An! vice versa, eb ?
Bashfulness Is a misfortune; gall
and cheek are cardinal sins.
It is now very plain that If you gamble
with crown heads, you should not win
their money. It is dangerous.
The best one we have seen lately
Lord Coleridge’s statement that the
prince of Wales la a hard-working man
Thebe is now a great deal less of un
rest in.flnancial circles than for some
time past. Honey is cheaper in Europe.
The Ozark (Ark.) Times tells us that
Sam Jones characterizes some of the
Little Rock people as the “slop hogs of
hell.”
“Half the world doesn't know how
the other half lives." And two-thirds
of the world does not care whether the
other third lives or not.
The Washington Post thinks that “the
tone of the rural Georgia press indicates
that the Atlanta Constitution has been
overplaying the anti-Cleveland hand."
The Georgia Press association will
meet in Atlanta Tuesday, and quite
number of the boys bavo signiiled their
intention of going on the western trip.
Major Giessner, the president will leave
for Atlanta to-day.
Sam Jones said out in Little Rock
.that “he would rather drink the slop
from the Capitol hotel kitchen than
beer.” And the profane Arkansas ed
itors are all out In a paragraph declaring
that “It may bo owing to the way they
were reared, but they decidedly prefer
the beer.”
Out in Mississippi the are organizing
the society of “The Daughters of the
Confederacy.” A good idea—a fitting
companion society to “The-Daughters of
the Revolution." We ibonld like to see
every community in -the south have a
branch of “The Daughters of the Con
federacy.”
The national bank* are willing to take
the! per cent bonds in place of the
<1 per cent, bonds because it is cheaper
than to go Into the market and buy
bonds at a high premium. They are
oompelled to hare bonds to keep up
their circulation and tho 2 per cent,
will answer their purpose nicely.
Memphis is becoming alarmed at tho
rapidly Increasing volume of its delin
quent tax list. And Memphis should
become alarmed. Next to Birmingham,
It has more land within Us corporation,
which evidently the people do not think
worth paying the taxes on, than any city
In the south, Birmingham leads in that
respect, however.
The foundation argument uf those
who talk against free coinage, It the
present depredated price of silver bul
lion. They always begin on the eighty
' cent dollar. The eighty oent dollar la ,
figment of the gold bug’s brain. There
Is no dollar coined by these United
States that will not pass os a dollar. And
one of the chief reasons for the deprecia
tion of the price of sliver bullion is tliat
It Is discredited by this, tho largest sll
ver producing country in the world.
The British press is hammering the
prince of Wales for his disgraceful con
duct In the baccarat affair at Tranlty-
croft, and to-day the man he helped to
ruin commands more respect and has a
warmer plaee in the affection of the
English people than the heir to the
throne. The religious papers are es
pecially seveio on the priuce and one of
them the Christian World, says: “The
throM rest* upon the foundation of pub*
lio opinion only. A few more scandal*
like that of Tranbycroft would destroy
the foundation, and Edward VIII would
nem be crowned.
Tub practical joker is very often
guilty of acta for which he ought to be
lodged in Jail. A few nights ago, at a
point on the New York Central railroad,
two bicyclists with red lamps ou their
machines (lagged an express train as it
came dashing around a curve. The en
gineer believing when he saw the danger
signals, as he thought, Hashing ahead
of him, that certain death awaited him,
reversed his engine and prepared to
jump from the cab, hut before he could
do so the engine sped by the red lights
and he heard the mocking shouts of the
jokers. The fright of the engineer was
so great, however, that his hair turned
white and he la now little better than a
nervous wreck. At the time the train
turned the curve it was running at the
rate of fifty miles in hour, and the
chances are the engineer would have
been instantly killed had he jumped
from his engine. The detectives of the
New York Central road are now work
ing on the case, and the chances are the
two jokera will spend a term in prison
as there is s state law against flagging a
train without a cause.

NOBLE MISS GAUNKR.
What a marvelous illustration of the
beauty and strength of woman's devo
tion, of that aiTection which hopes ami
endures and is patient, was afforded at
Trinity church, Chelsea, Wednesday
morning.
No man should venture a Hippant or
cynical comment upon the bravo ami
noble hearted bride of Sir William Gor-
don Cumming.
There was s nobility of heart, unde
served, but all the more conspicuous.
The withering blast of dishouor and dis
grace, the fair young woman faced witli
an unshrinking firmness which must
command man's admiration, even as it
touches his sympathy.
How beautifully apt is that familiar
and exquisite figure of Irving’s—“As
the vine, which has long twined its
graceful foliage about the oak, and been
lifted by it into sunshine, will, when the
hardy plaut is rifted by the thunder
bolt, cling round it with its caressing
tendrils and bind up its shattered
boughs; so it is beautifully ordered by
Provideuce that woman, who is the mere
dependent and ornament of map in his
happier hours, should bo his stay and
solace when smitten with sudden calam
ity, winding herself Into the rugged re
cesses of Iiis nature, tenderly support
ing the drooping head and binding up
the hrokeu heart.”
Insignificant, indeed, are tho dramas
of the boards beside those of life. Here
was one which, from the opening of the
first act at Tranby Croft to the fall of
the curtain at the altar, teemed with un
usual incidents and denouements.
Actually touching the greatest throne
the sun ever shone upon ami, on the
other hand, embracing the citizen from
tho plainest walks, the drama was a
picture of royal life such as tlioso out
side of it rarely got a glimpse of. Tho
progress of this drama, too,was watched
attentively by an audience as large as
the English reading word
Of all tho interesting features the
most striking was the final climax—the
marriago following the verdict which
pronounced the plaintiff guilty and not
entitled to recover damages against the
defendants, who said that he had cheat-
i at cards and proved it.
Miss Garner is not declared to be an
adventuress and It is taken for granted
that she is a true woman. Her faith in
Sir Gordon was steadfast and not to be
shaken. Though the world must be
lieve him to be a dishonorable man, she
who loves him says that he is innocent
STILL ANOTHER.
Another monument to the Confederate
dead was erected Wednesday at Fred
ericksburg and thousands of officers and
veterans of the lost cause were present
and participated in the ceremouies at
tending the unveiling, and a number of
eloquent and patriotic speeches wore de
livered. The southern people are erect
ing more monuments to their dead than
those of the north, and we suppose that
this is the reason why Harper’s Weekly
is disposed to utter a protest against the
action of the south in honoring its
dead. It does not want to see a monu
ment to the memory of Jefferson Davis,
and declares that if one is built that the
monuments to Grant and Lincoln should
be overthrown. Harper’s Weekly may as
well understand now as any other time
that in the matter of monumeut build
ing in tho south its wishes will not bo
consulted for the best of reasons, and
that is, it is none of its business. If the
people of the uorth see fit to puli down
the monuments erected to the memory
of their leaders they can do so, but we
of the south, as the Atlanta Constitu
tion aptly remarks, intend to put up
monuments to our dead from one end
of the southland to the other, and the
grandest monument of them all will be
erected to perpetuate the memory of
Jefferson Davis, the great chieftain of
the Confederacy.
and she prefers to
“Walk by his side itn outcast—live upon
the lightol one kind smile from hl'b—tliau
wear Hie crown the Bourbon lost.”
The cose has few parallels cither in
literature or life. Woman braves pover
ty for the divine passion a thousand
times every day, but If she has not lost
tho appreciation of honor sho shrinks
from dishonorable association. In life,
instances occasionally occur where a
cultured, Impulsive girl elopes with a
coachman, and an intelligent but erratic
woman weds a condemned tnurderer.In
novels, knights and heroes constantly
seek out poor maidens, but ladies of
high potition seldom woo an ostracized
ANOTIIKH RICHMOND IN TIIK FIELD.
The political situation In the west is
getting m‘xed as time g<*es on, and it
now appears that in Ohio the prohibi
tionists are about to join hands with the
third party people and to support their
platform. In that state the talk among
the prohibitionists shows that they are
In favor of uniting with the farmers ou
a farmers’ and labor platform, but in
Iowa the prohibitionists have nominated
a state ticket and demand the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, the Austra
lian ballot system and the abolishment
of the internal revenue system, as the
object of it is to encourage the liquor
trifle.
Up in Minnesota a new party has been
sprung which calls itself the national
association, the purpose of which is to
better the condition of citizens in public
and private life. Forty canvassers are
to be sent out into the state immediate
ly, and the leadors of tho latest political
outfit declare that they will have things
in such shape as to enable them to nom
inate a presidential ticket next year.
The indications are that there will be a
large crop of cranks in the campaign of
1802, and that their stamping grounds
will he tho western states. x

TIIB SPLIT IN OHIO.
Prominent leaders of the democracy
havo reason to bo alarmed at the hostile
attitude of the Cincinnati democrats to
wards Governor Campbell. It appears
that Johnny M’Lean, of the Enquirer,
who is at the head of the Cincinnati fac
tion, is leading the opposition to Camp
bell, and, os he is an unzeruputona poli
tician, the general impression Is, that If
lie fails to prevent the nomination of
Campbell in the convention, be and his
gang will try to defeat him at the polls.
The leaders of the democratic party
feel satisfied that if the party
can be united McKinley will be de
feated this fall, but up to the
prezent time every effort to bring the
factions together has failed. While the
action of the Cincinnati democrats may
endanger the success of the state ticket
It la now pretty well understood that it
will not prerent the nomination of Gov.
Campbell as the better element of the
party In the atate are supporting him
loyally, and bla friends believe that he
will win enough formers’ votes on the
tariff question to offset the lots of dent-
cratie votes In Cincinnati.

Tub Knoxville Tribune says the com
