of the Situation.
Special Cor. Atlanta .lotirtial.
Chicago, Oct. 20.—After a careful
ntnpy of the national political situa
tion I am convinced that at litis time
William RlcKinloy stands t,he best
chance of being elected President on
Nov. 6th. Tills is not pleasing news
for the readers of The Journal, but 1
take it that they would prefer to
know the truth than to b* deceived.
I do not mean to any that the elec
tion of Mr. McKinley is a foregone
conclusion. On the'contrary there is
a possibility that his present advan
tage may he destroyed, and I might
even say a probability. If the elec
tion were to be held to-day Mr. Mc
Kinley would no doubt be elected.
ThiH fact is realized and privately ac
knowledged at Democratic headquar
ters.
Whether or not William McKinley
or William J. Bryan will be President
of the United States after the fourth
of next March depends upon the vote
of two States—New York and In- I Delaware
diana. All calculations must bring j Kansas
• one to this conclusion. It is the same i Soutli Dakota
old story. New York and Indiana j Wyoming.
I will select the President, just as they
j have done for years past. Jugglers
at both Democratic and Republican ;
i headquarters have attempted to figure
their favorite into the Presidential
chair without these two States being
taken into consideration, but it is i in -
possiblo. Now that it is fully realized

Canvassing the Baby’s Points.
Cleveland Plain Moaler.
The recent accounts of the two
young people who could not agree
upon the name to be given to their
baby and separated on account of the
dispute, brings to mind the less ridic
ulous but more amusing story of the
difference of opinion entertained by
two grandmothers about tlie features
of their first grandchild. One old
lady was a German, while the other
was fresh from the shores of the Em
erald Isle, and they had no great love
for each other. The first time they
met on common grounds was when
the baby came. The Irish Indy, who
was the mother of the young mamma,
was the first to arrive upon the scene,
and when the German came in the
baby was already ensconced upon the
lap of her rival. And now came a
war of words across the unconscious
infant’s scarlet, wabbly little head.
“Aeh. mein son,” cried the Ger
man, “he is joost the image of mine
son," while on the other hand, the
Irish woman contended that “the little
darlin’ was an Irishman to the bone,
God bless him. wld niver a bit of a
German look to his face."
Tile battle raged, until at last the
discussion narrowed down to the
child’s nose and chin. “You are one
fool," cried the irate German. “He
vas a German by hie chin. It is sbust
like mine bou’h chin—but his nose—
nch—it is one disgrace—it is a pug?"
Tiio old Irish woman stiffened with
wrath.
“Indado,” she exclaimed, “sliure,
it’s the most sensible facher uv his
face. Yez can claim his chin if yez
want to. It’s niver a one an Irish
man would own, but," with a trium
phant glance at the straggling locks
of unmistakable red that graced the
baby’s head, “it’ll be covered wid a
good Irish beard some day, an’ til’
German look’ll he lost, but the nose’ll
go on hein’ Irish to tip iud, an’ turn
up at ivery German thing about it,"
and with a triumphant sniff she
stalked from the room, leaving her
enemy silenced but not subdued.

| Mr. Bryan’s task is not an easy
j one. In 1896 he received 176 eleeto-
l ral votes; 224 is the -necessary nnm-
| ber. If Mr. Bryan carries al) the j
States he carried four years ago, and
in addition carries New York and In-
diana, he will have 227 votes in the I 9 ta8k before Mr ’ Iir * nn il

Dakota, Wyoming and Washington,
but in any case he cannot wiu with
the Empire State’s 30 votes unless by
miraculous luck he holds all of his 176
votes of 1896, and gains in addition
thereto Indiana, Maryland, West Vir
ginia, Kentucky and a State like Cal
ifornia, which is improbable.
To give The Journal readers an hied
istered against him for McKinley in
1896:
Indiana 18,181
Maryland 32,232
West Virginia 11,487
New York .208,409
Illinois 142,607
Can he do it?
It is claimed that there has been a
big change in sentiment in New York,
of the States he carried in 1896; but
he will certainly gain others in their
place. This year he will doubtless
get Maryland, Kentucky and West
Virginia, representing 27 votes, of
which 20 were against him four years
j ago, he having had one vote from

occupation, hut it ought not to ex- i
elude every other interest. There
can bo no happiness for a woman

that limits her to mere domestic

study herself and learn her “ono tal-

turn to its development as a relief.
By so doing she brings added happi

Educating the Negro.
The most superficial study of the
situation demonstrates that the so-
called education of the negroes in tbe
South is worse than a failure—worse
beenuse it lias unfitted them for the
careers for which they are eminently
most qualified. It hns confused an ill
assortment of material, drawn from
books more or 'less illy conceived,
witli the training which best fits an
individual for hnppiness in the future.
Instead of making the negroes com
petent workers, as they are intended
to be, It lms strengthened their igno
rant conviction that freedom means
to prey upon the industrious members
of their race and upon the whites.
Hence, their drift, from the healthy
country to city slum life, their la
mentable failure to recognize the fact
that all the human laws in the world
cannot change their nature, and their
persistence in a wild career tending
to an ultimate annihilation. Ono of
the great mistakes of their so-called
education lias boen the gradual ten
dency to turn over their schools to
negroes and tho short sighted encour
agement. coming down from slave
times of negro preachers by kind-
hearted whites.
