IT BRINGS THE TEARS.
Coining gracefully to the front {with
timely recollections of ex-Presi.leut
Harrison, the Hon. Channcey M. De
pew relates how in 1892, Gen. Harrison
placet! his hand on Mr. Depew'n shoul
der and declared that that statesman
should be his Secretary of State. “And
he burst into tears," adds Mr. Depew.
We don't doubt it a bit. The thought
of Chnuueey us head of the State De
partmeut was enough to make Gen.
Harrison or anybody else weep —Chi
eago Chronicle.
Spring has hoisted its signals.
Mr. Alfred Shepperson estimates the
value of the south's cotton crop,includ
ing seed, to be $5i)3,000,000.
Andrew Carnegie started to say a
good word for Richard Croker—but
concluded to not finish the sentence.
g The gold reserve in the Treasury
now amounts to over $482,000,000.
Somebody’s predictions hare certainly
miscarried.
Mr Hurvie Jordan, thejpresident of
the Southern Cotton Growers Associa
tion, earnestly uses the farmers to re
duce their acreage in cotton this year.
This is a serious matter and every cot
ton grower should heed the warning.
A big cotton crop this year undoubted
ly means tire cents cotton this fall.
Keep this idea in your head, farmers
of the South. You have it tn your
power to make or mar your own for
tune this year. A big crop means five
cents cotton in the fall. How many
farmers can weather the storm, with
five cents cotton this year ?
The Rome Tribane remarks tbat the
last style in hair dressing for women is
to make it as though it hadn’t been
combed in weeks.
The latest thing in strikes is that of
the policemen’s union of Belleville, III.
They struck for higher wages,and won.
They did not use their clubs.
The Arkansas Legislature has before
it a bill prohibiting any person Jrom
drinking alcoholic stuff, unless he has
paid the County Clerk $5 for a license.
We doubt it there is a man in the
world, or ever has been one, so fortu
nately situated in money matters as is
Andrew Carnegie. His entire fortune
is capitalized in such manner as to
yield an income of one million dollarsa
month without any care or effort on his
part. He draws that amount without
having any of the cares of busiuesc and
without being required to devote any
of bis time to it. Certainly, if it is in
tae power of money to make a man
happy, he ought to be so.
Ham Jones guarantees that when he
gets to preaching in Savannah the
sales of liquor will fall more than
1U0 per cent., and The New wants to

W. R. Hcarst goes to the unneces

rison’s death was announced in China

graceful thing to do.
A few days ago tho Eutperor of Ger

wages, but it is dangerous.
The Legislature of Washington has
proposed au election law which pro
vides that no one shall hereafter be ad
mitted to the suffrage who cauuot read

a law in some States would prevent
some office-holders from voting.
Canada is sending more troops to

A war between Japan and Russia
might be looked on as a combat be
tween a pigmy and a giant, but it real
ly would not be so. The Japs are as
game as hornets and would make the

Gov. Candler made a spoach at the
Hibernian banquet m Atlanta last week

UNDER CZAR'S PALACE
Conspiracy Against Nicholas’
Life Exposed.
RUSSIAN PRESS SILENT
It Is Authoritatively Stated Tbat
Several Notables Are Believed to
Be Implicated In the Plot Against
Ills Majesty.
London, March 26.—A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company states on
the highest authority that a mine hai
been discovered beneath the palace of
Emperor Nicholas, at Tscharchoe-Selo,
1? miles south of St. Petersburg.
Several notables, the dispatch says,
are implicated iu the plot against his
majesty. The Russian press was not
permitted to mention the affair.
CROWNED HEADJS UNEASY
Cz.r Completely Unnerved Owing <o
Condition of Political Horizon.
London, March 20.—A dispatch from
St. Petersburg says that ill consonanc.
with what is believed to be the czar’s
expressed wish, the minister of the in
terior has published instructions for the
authorities of the towns and provinces
recommending repressive measures
against disturbances as being more
effective than repression after disturb
ances have broken out.
The Birmingham Post, which is in
touch with Mr. Chamberlain, says news
iu high quarters iu Loudon indicates
that the czar is in a very uervous state
owing to the condition of the political
horizon. It is suid that he fears the re-
salt of the policy of bis ministers iu tbs
far cast, while the student troubles and
threats against his life, of which there
are more than have been published,
have completely uunerved his majesty.
His . medical advisers have strongly
counselled a yachting cruise, but the
czar has refused to follow their advice.
Those behind the sceues in Russia take
a very grave view of the present agita
tion and thiuk tt is the beginning ot
more serious troubles.

RUSSIAN POLICE ARE BLAMED
For Not Crushing Riotous Demonstra
tions ut the Outset.
St. Petersbuko, March 20.—A circu
lar issued by the minister of tho interior
blames the police for not crashing the
demonstrations at tho outset by dis
persing gathering crowds. It is said
the police must learn where tho demon
strations are planned and mass their
forces there. Order must be restored at
any cast and the authorities must not
fear to use arbitrary force and severity.
The military, the circulur furchi-r
says, can be called upou when firing
is necessary and the cavalry may be
summoned upou any occasion to clear
the streets.
The Russian Author’s Mutual Aid as
sociation, founded by tho Russian Lit
erary society, lias been ordered to close
its premises, owing to a protest of the
authors during the ruefut riots issued a
short time ago.

versity named Proskuriakoff, who had
been sentenced to two years’ military
service and drafted into a regiment soon

dent named Smyrnova and Lieutenant
Kutness of a Sapjier battalion have been
found deud near Yamaburg, iu tho .St.
Petersburg province. Tho student held
a revolver and it was evident that three
persons had committed suicide.
The press is beginning to display un
easiness on Hccountof the position taken
by the Japanese with regard to Man

presses itself optimistically, declaring
its conviction that the question will
never become nil npple of discord be
