WAS Ii ONLY A JuKE?
GEORGIA CONGRESSMEN HOT UNDER
THE COLLAR ABOUT HOWELL'S
HUMOROUS INTERVIEW,
In Which He States He Was Summoned to
€onsult About the Party--He Only Saw
Winn, Who Flopped, and Colquitt
and Livingston--Do They Repre
sent Georgia Entirely.
Washington Cor. to the Atlanta Journal.
I was just thinking about Captain E.
P. Howell's very funny statement of the
summons which vecently brought him to
Washington.
The captain was always a great joker,
and in this case he oversteps even his
own seldom-matched reputation in that
line.
In an interview published on the edi
torial page of last Sunday’s Constitution,
he said:
“I went to Washington in answer to a
telegraphic summons to take counsel with
the Georgia delegation in congress in re
gard to state politics.” :
8 After a few patriotic fiourishes caused
by a sudden effervescence of democratic
sentiment, he continued:
“I answered the call made by men
who hold seats in congress at the favor
of Georgia's dem .cratic votes,” ete.
IT WAB CONSPICUOUSLY INEXACT.
This suggestion to a grave crisis which
caused the great Georgia jester to be hur
ried to Washington, with electric haste,
aroused a feeling of oppositionin the in
dependent spirit of a gentleman who was
quoted as “‘a democrat” in the Journal.
This gentleman asked the question:
“*What right has the Georgia congress
men to dictate to the people of Georgia?"’
Then he went on to strike the delega
tion a few gentle blows, basing his strict
ures upon Captain Howell's statements,
That statement, in the most parlia
mentary language by which it can be
characterized, was conspicuously inexact,
No one objects to Captain Howell's
visiting Washington as often as he pleases
and to his conferring with whom he
pleases. He is a nice, jolly man, and
those of us who know him are usually
glad to see him.
NEVER HEARD OF THE TELEGRAM.
But there is objection to his reflecting
on tha Georgia delegation by attributing
to them telegrams of which they never
heard. There is no objection to his plac
ing them in the attitude of having select
ed him among the huudreds of thousands
of good democrats in Georgia to come
up here and advise with them as to how
the state should be run.
There is really very great objection to
this assumed politic advisership. And
it is only natural that there should have
been a slight uprising of indignation .t
the captain’s suggesiion, in the patriotic
bosoms of those true congressmen who
are looking after the interest of their
constituents,
IT WAS ALL NEWS TO THEM.
After seeing the eaptain’s statement, I
went diligently to work to ferret out the
doings of this mighty conference to
which he was called. I have interviewed
every accessibie member of the Georgia
delegation both about the telegram and
about the conference. Only one of them
had heard of the telegram and not one of
them knew anything about the confer
ence,
Colonel Blount, who has been here for
t.chty years and who certainly deserves
a voice in a conference of the Georgia
delegation, only incidentally spoke to
Captain Howell and knew absolutely
nothing about any meeting of the dele
gation.
Judge Turner, who is often referred to
as the ablest man on the democratic side
of the house and whose presence would
likely form a part of a Georgia delega
tion conference, did not see Captain
Howell at all.
Judge Lester, who, with Blount and
Turner, is sometimes said to form the
old guard of the delegation did not know
that Captain Howell had been to Wash
ington until after the eaptain was safely
back in Atlanta.
Judge Lawson, who hoards at the Me
tropolitan where Captain Howell was
registered, only met him by accident and
had but a few words of conversation with
him.
Mr. Everett, whose unswerving demo
cratic principles, taken in connection
with his badly mixed districf, wonld
certainly have entitled him to whatever
good there was to arise from putting to
gether of heads, did not even have the
pleasure of seeing Captain Howell,
WINN, HE BAW THE CAPTAIN.
Colonel Wiun had an earnest conversa
tion with Captain Howell, but the only
result of it was, that when they had
parted, Captain Howell held a carefully
written statement in which Col. Winn
virtually renounced the democratic faith
and proclaimed allegiance to the people’s
parly cause,
This is the only visible result of the
great adviser's visit. It is a possible in
ference that the captain precipitated
.Winn’s flop in order to bolster up the
wicked arguments which the Constitu
tion had been making to the effect that
the failure of the house to pass a bill (by 1
which the coinage ot seventy cents worth |
of silver into full dollais would have in-/
creased the circulation thirly cents per
capita) would assuredly drive many alli-%
ancemen into the third party. |
Mr. Watsor, who is a big part of a dis
tinctive issue in Georgia politics, hearti
ly disclaims having seen Captain Howell
or having had any communication with
him whatever.
As Mr. Moses is- in Georgie trying to
keep people from entering the third par-\
ty, I could not interview him; but I feel
safe in stating that he neither signed the
telegram nor anticipated in the confer
ence which brought Captain Howell to
Washington.
WHO REPRESENTS GEORGIA ANYHOW,
This would now lead to the natural
inquiry, if the Captain’s statement was
correct: Who are the Georgia delegation
anyhow?
If the editorin chief of the Constitu
tion interviews himself in many more
issues of his great Sunday paper, the
delegation will have to ecall a convention |
and appoint a committee of investigation
to find out who they are. |
Colonel Livingston had a long conver
sation with Captain Howell, but as it
was strictly private, nobody knows what
it was about, and it could not be stretehed
into the proportions of a ‘‘consultation
with the Georgia delegation,”
The telegram which the captain termed
a summons from “the mem who hold
seats in congress at the favor of Geor
gia’s democratic votes” was in substance
as follows:
E. P. Howell, Atlania, Ga.:
Please come. to Washington to talk
over important matters. = Livingston
concurs in the request.
(Signed) A. H. CorLquITT.
THE GREAT TRIUMVIRATE,
So it turns out that in Captain How
ell's opinion the Georgia delegation con
sists of Senator Colquitt and Colonel
Livingston. That they form a bona fide
part of it I hope no one quesions—but 1
respectfully demur from the position
that they are the whole crowd. Ido
not believe that the senator and the cap
tain to form a self-constituted triumvi
rate—a sort of ‘*the world, the flesh and
the devil” combination—to centrol the
great commonwealth of Georgia. 1t
such a consummation should be attempt
ed a muan would not have to ecome from
the grave to foretell its results,

The Art of Cutting Clothes.
When we read and listen to discus
sions of comparative value of long or
shoulder measures with those that are
short and sectional, in which one or the
other is denounced as unscientific or
impracticable, our mind immediately
dwells for a moment on a proverbially
stupid animal with long ears. The fact
is that many cutters are successful
with the first, and just about as many
with the others.
Every man cannot become a good cut
ter. Some do notseem to ‘‘catch on,’
as the saying is, and others who seem to
do so are never able to produce any
other results than such as “make old
heads swim.”
Natural ability and eduncational ad
vantages generally insure success, but
years of work on the board, the ability
even to make a good coat, is no guar
antee of the possession of that mental
equipment which is necessary to make -
good cutter.
When it requires hours of labor to fix
in some one’s mind the difference be
tween one-third and one-quarter of a
size, how can such a one expect to suc
ceed as a cutter?
When a student is able to think quick
ly and clearly, we confidently expect
him to become a skillful cutter, even
though he cannot make a coat so well as
many others. The fact is that to be
successiul in garment cutting, as in any
other trade or profession, a man inust
have brains, know how to use them and
use theul as he should.—Tailoring Jour
nal.
" A Jcke on the “Britisher.”
I had been traveling in a railway car
riage in the south, in company with two
very pleasant men who chanced to be
seated opposite tome at the end of the
crowded car, and had got out to “buy a
lunch,” as they say, at a station, my two
fellow passengers having promised to
keep my seat for me. When I returneti
to the carl found a tall, gaunt man, in
a broad slouch hat, apparently about to
take my seat, but yet not actually tak
ing it.
A glance at my acquaintances opposite
showed me why he hesitated. Each of
them was holding a cup of coffee to his
mouth with his left hand, while his
right grasped a revolver covering the
intruder. Time being short, they were
drinking their coffee while they “‘kept
the Dritisher’s seat.” The tall stranger
politely retired on my appearing, the
others put their revolvers in their hip
pockets without any remark and we re
sumed our journey. >
What amused me most of all, though,
was a glimpse 1 got of a solemn looking
old man about half way down the car.
who had drawn out from somewhere an
enormous, antiquated, ivory handled six
shooter, and was holding it up with his
finger on the trigger, ready to take a
hand in any little festivity that might
arise. He looked so disappeinted when
it all ended in nothing that 1 felt quite
sorry for him.—Contemporary Review.
