SALARIES OF GOVERNOR AND
JUDGES.
The Telegraph waa mistaken Sun
day morning In Mating that the acts
to Increase the asterl"* of the gover
nor a:.rl the Judges of the supreme and
superior courts would have to be rati
fied by vole of the people. It Is true
that these salerles are fixed by the
constitution, and It la true that amend
ments to the constitution In general
must be ratified by the vote of the peo
ple, but an exception la made In theso
cases. The constitution provides In a
paragraph overlooked by us at the
time, that the salaries of these officers
may be changed at any time by a two-
thirds vote of the house and senate.
As It stands, therefore, we were mis
taken about It, and the solarise hare
been raised by the general assembly
—the act Is, complete.
THE 8UN,
Extremes almost meet In the New
York Bun and the New York Ameri
can—on one proposition. Parker le too
conservative for both. With a wry
face one Is supporting Roosevelt, after
a fashion; and the other la supporting
Parker, after the same sort of fashion
—reluctantly.
Aa the campaign proceeds these two
newspapers will probably warm up a
little more to their respective party
candidates.
As to the Sun, the Philadelphia Rec
ord accurately speaks:

some time Its attitude waa scarcely dis
tinguishable front that of the free silver-

MR6. MAYBRICK.
Jt !s reported that Mrs. Florence
Miybrlck, under an assumed name,
h;is sailed for America, her native
land. It seems to us that it fa about
time for espionage on her movements
to cease. She has been released from
prison after serving many yearn upon
conviction of killing her husband.
Blnce she was grunted liberty, aho
has tried to avoid publicity. She re
tired to her mother's home at Rouen,
France. The grounds were picketed
by newspaper men who made a world-
special item of the opening of a window
blind, a walk in the garden or of the
absolute silence that # Invested the
place. When she walked out of prison
she expressed her thanks to those who
had brought about her relcnso and to
tho prison officials In whoso custody
she had been so long a time. Nothing
more has come from her or those cloao
to her.
Now that Mrs. Maybrlck la seeking
refuge In America and probably the
effacement of herself, her prlvscy on
arrival upon these shores should be
regarded and she should be allowed to
go her way in peace to find a home.
Khe has suffered. She has satisfied
tho British lnw. Let her nlone.
The Telegraph hears that In At
lanta somebody has suggested she take
the lecture platform. Being a South -
ern woman, and of gentle birth, it Is
scarcely probable she would seek that
sort of notoriety. And there Is unother
reason: auch business has never
been profitable ou the American ros
trum.
Macon people have a peculiar Inter
est In her and her fortunes from the
fact that she formerly resided in this
Ity. Jt may be that she ahall seek
home and seclualon hers. Thera Is
no telling. Rut should she come to
Macon, bearing her own name or In
cognito, she will not be pestered by
any one attempting to invade her doors
out of a spirit of sheer morbid curi
osity. Bo long as she does not Invite
public attention, so long should be ac
corded the mantle of social oblivion
that aha seems to crave.

In the state of New York eight news

WINTER WIMBERLY'S 8TORY.
How It Reconciled Conflicting Ele
ments st tho Savannah May-
oralty Convention.
^ The story comes from Savannah
now City Attorney* Wimberly healed a
breach and prevented what might
have resulted In trouble.
Il was at tlic convention of mayors.
Dr. Brunner, the health officer of Sa
vannah. and a recognized authority on
contagious diseases, was down for a
paper on the smallpox situation In
Georgia, and how to prevent tho spread
oi the disease. For some time It was
known that the doctor, who believes
In calling a npado a spade, was not in
touch with the state board of health
r.nd had Indulged In Home very severe
strictures on that body. The state
board had a representative In the con
vention. Dr. Hynd*. the city physician
of Atlanta, and he wag there to defend
the board.
On the reading of the paper, a spir
ited and warm controversy sprang up
which resulted In Dr. Brunner proceed
ing to score the state board in unmeas
ured terms. The members of the con
vention were apprehensive of trouble
and manifested It by remaining ‘sllont
and hoping Komethlng would happen
to prevent It. In the course of hfs
excoriation Dr. Brunner said the state
board was "dead and didn't know IL"
It was here that Mr. Wimberly tact
fully broke In with one of his great
fund of good stories, each one made
to fit right In where It belongs. And
this la the story he told:
"Buck Dawn lives in one of the out
lying districts of Macon, nnd comes
to town about once a week with a load
of wood, and thla he sells for 75 cents.
Of this amount he usually spends 50
cents for booze. 15 cents for candy for
the children and 10 cents for the ne
cessities of life to carry home. On one
occasion he sought Dr. McHntton nnd
told the doctor hew Llze was sick with
mumps. Motile with the measles, Jim
with the smallpox and the old lady'
with the yaller Jnnders. Tho doctor
S roc coded to tell how* the cases should
e Isolated, nnd what to do for this
and for that. Buck saw that so much
prescription meant much money, so ho
doc'ded to be his own doctor. In some
way he had heard that a ball of asa-
foetidn tied up In n bag and hung
around the neck was good for almost
an/ sickness, so ho took another drink
and Invested part of the proceeds of
the sate of his load of wood In four
balls of asnfoetldo. putting a ball In
esch pocket. One more drink nnd he
sturted home. When some distance
out on the road a shower of rain fell,
and by the time hr reached home th.»
medicine was pretty well dissolved. At
last he reached bis home, and hla little
glii ran out to meet him, knowing that,
as was his custom, he had candy fox
her. But ns sho approached she
caught the picket line of the odor aris
ing from hlo pockets. She stopped
short, caught a full whiff, and ran back
to the house, saying to her mother:
'Mammy, dad’s come home, but ha’f
dent, and don't know It."'
This story caught the convention,
told as It waa in Mr. Wimberly’s In
imitable way, and the hearty laugh
that followed healed the breach, nnd
while It closed the debate. It caused
all bitterness to be forgotten-

that snld paragraph shall read, when
emended, as follows, viz: "Authority
