ticklish business.
The Celebrated case ■ of the convic
tion and Imprisonment of Mrs. May-
brick In an English court, which has
drawn universal and unabated atten
tion, furnishes a most glaring example
of the miscarriage of English justice.
The discussion has been recently
brought forward again from the fact
that Mrs. Maybrlck is now very III in
her confinement, and hardly expected
to live. All appeals for medical aid to
the sufferer were at first refused, but
Hnally, under pressure, a physician
was sent to attend ber, and reports
that there Is some chance for her re
covery, on whiuh grounds the British
officials refuse to release her from her
prison cell.
More glaring and Inhuman than all
this has been the continued persecu
tion of this unfortunate American
woman in the faec of facts which es
tablish, almost beyond a doubt, her In
nocence of the crime of poisoning her
husband, for which she has been sen
tenced to life Imprisonment. Hlio was
declared guilty upon the iqpst fflmsy
circumstantial evidence by the Jury,
and in his sentence the judge said that
there was reasonable doubt ns to
whether or not she committed the
erlme, but, In Ills opinion, she had at
tempted to poison him, with which he
sent her to jail for life. Shortly after
wards that Judge became insane. So
Mrs. Maybrlck Is really languishing in
Jail under a charge for which she line
never been tried. She wns tried for
murder but sentenced for the attempt.
Added to these facts a man died re
cently in South Africa whose dying
confession stamped him us the mur
derer of Mr. Maybrlck.
In the face of all these facts appeal
after appeal from the most prominent
Americans tu the crown and authori
ties of England for cldinenoy in be-
linlf of the unfortunate sufferer linvo
come to naught, but linvo been mot
with stern refusal. She Is now lying
nt dentil’s door, nml the powers that be
will rnise no hand to ameliorate her
pitiful condition.
Tills an cxnmplc of English justice,
rather let us say bnrlmrlty. Suoh
course might have emanated from tho
courts of a Nero, hut from tho throne
of her Majesty, the Queen, It comes
like the death knell o( individual lib
erty in England, and a destruction of
the fundamental rights of the Individ
ual, upon which a government must
ho based. Bather let us say it etna-
tinted from English law, whiuh may,
sometimes, he contorted int'o n lira
chine to defeat the ends of justice,

Tuh Chicago Inter Ouenti denounces
as false ull statements to the effect
that hotel rates will bo cxturtlunnto
there during the World’s Fair. Tho

find it an easier matter to gut good

a time when the fair is not in progress.
This will be cheering news to ninny

next year.
llox. E. R. Jo.nkh is receiving many
flattering notices of Ills bill to provide
fora weather bureau and crop report
ing service for the State. This is an
important move, hut has never ns yet
been provided for and sustained by
State appropriation. It is n want in
whlolt the farmers of the State are di
rectly interested, and when It comes
up for consideration, it will no doubt
receive careful attention at the hands
of the Legislature.
1’K.NHtoN reform Inis already begun
In Congress. Representative Carutll,
of Kentucky, has Introduced a meas
ure to prohibit any person In the em
ploy of lilt- Government from receiv-
ing a pension. There are thousaudsof
Government empluyes who nre on the
pension list for total disability, for
whiuh they receive $100 per month be
sides their Government pay. This
fraudulent pensioning is a disgrace ton
republican Government, and tho good
work of reform which has begun at
just the right place should continue.
Thk press of the State is unanimous
tn the conclusion that we have ton
many elections. The Hkhald took up
this line some time ago, and suggested
that it would be a good idea to bring
some of them together in cases where
this could he conveniently done. The
State and National elections could
well be brought together on the same
-day as is done in many other States In
-the Union, and there is nothing what
ever in the way of bringing municipal
and county elections together in point
of time. The consequence of this roul-
ticiptfeity of elections is.that many
of our citizens lose interest in them
' and neglect to use their privilege of
suffrage. The assimilation of some of
ottr elections in point of time will

DEPART-
WHERE WOMEN REIGN
THE VOICE THAT CALLS,
At every legislative session some
enemy of the agricultural department
of the State gets in some proposition
looking towards its abolishment.
There Is no department in the State
service which has conte more closely
in contact with a large mass of the
people of the State, and which has
been of more importance to that class
of people, namely, the farming class
es.
This department has an important
object In view, besides the Immense
amount of good it haMlalready accom
plished, and is doing every day. With
the aid of modern methods It will not
be long before it can bring together
estimates of the supply and demand of
the products of the farm, which knowl
edge will be of incalculable beneflt to
the farmer, enabling him to gunge his
crops accordingly.
So much for the future. The ad
vantages which It has given In the past
nre Incalculable. Besides being self-,
supporting, n large amount from its
revenues is turned Into the treasury
each year from the inspection of ferti
lizers, without which service the farm
er might very often become the dope
of designing manufacturers. It’s other
services, such ns the distribution of
seed, exhibition of resources, publica
tion of crop reports, are of immense ad
vantage to the farming Interests of the
State, and having once had the benefit,
of them, we nre loss to see how they
can do without.

It seems to bo the impression in At

this point the Columbus Enquirer-Sun

For some time the affairs of the As
sociated Press have been in quite an
unstable condition, and the report now
comes that this organization has been
swallowed up entirely by Its competi
tor the United Press. The report
serins verified by the fact that no Asso
ciat’d Press dispatches were received
in Atlanta Saturday. Thus has a big
and powerful organization collapsed
for want of t. strong management.
Tiik Republicans are consuaiating a
series of political steals in the West

TIIK ANNKXATION OK CANADA.
From tho Mncon Telegraph.
In the United States people hardly
over think of Canada, but people In
Catiadn think often of tlielr Great
Southern uoighbor. The great attracts
the little. I tt consequence the senti
ment in favor of annexation to the
United States constantly grows In
Catiadn and has now reaohed large
proportions; The question Is ono for
the Canadians themselves to settle.
The peoplo of the United States would
welcome Cannda, coming of her own
will and freely, but would do nothing
to induce her to oome. The question
is not at all likely to enter Into our
politics.
ADVICK TO TIIK POPULISTS,
Kami till) I'hiliulotphia Record.,
The Populists of Kansas have decid
ed In tlielr mass meeting that the mor
al effect of their victory in tho elec
tion of their Governor must not be
olouded by the mammon-worshiping
features of nu inaugural ball; aud
Mrs. Lease Ims voiced their judgment
more speciflcally in the announcement
that she “favored a country dnnoe, but
wns dead-set against any low-neck
and swallow-tail affair.” The low-
neck probably deserves “to get it^in
the neck” severely upon high moral
grounds; but why should the Populists
despise n ninn on account of his coat?
Let them have a bare, lest Iff heaping
contumely on the high-priced coat
they shall stamp themselves as cheap
men lit the estimation of the present
Administration at Washington.
EDUCATION WIM. RK AX ISSUE.
From tho Atlanta Journal.
Tho indefensible nttitude of many
members of the present general assem
bly toward the educational question is
likely to result in making it a leading
issue in the next legislative campaign.
In that event, it needs no prophet to
predict that the l’otiphar Peagreens
who tlgure so numerously in the pre
sent legislature will have to stand
from under.
SIXTY DULLARI FOB THE WID
OWS.
When the Widow's Pension bill was
being considered lit the Senate com
mittee the other day a proposition to
mnke the pension $I0U a year was de
feated by a large majority, and nn ef
fort to make it $72 shared the same
fate. The House had tlxed upon $80
a year and the Senate finance commit
tee wns divided on the question. Some
favored $60, holding that the State is
not able to be any mare generous than
that for the next year. It means a
difference of $40 a year to nil the wid
ows on the roll or n total reduction of
$130,000. A minority of the committee
reported in favor of $100 a year ns un
der the old law, but a majority of the
committee reported in favor of $60
which was finally the amount ngreed
to after a compromise on $72 fell
through.

Hundred* of Women Hold Working Po
sitions In tho Various Departments of
the National Capital Without Losing
Their Social Standing.
^Vashington is getting to he wom
an’s patadiBe. There , is no other place
In the wide, wide world where women
earn as ranch money, are as independ
ent and are. os deferentially treated by
men as they aro in Washington. The
influence of*women in the uffoirs of this
mighty nation has been a subject of fre
quent comment. Many interesting and
highly imaginative stories have been told
of the woman lobbyist until tho discreet
wives of most of our migratory states
men h|v(3 taken to traveling around
with them, and never under any circum
stances let them remain alone amid the
temptations of the capital. This is a
palpable injustice to the lawgivers, and
involves on unnecessary hardship upon
the anxious matrons.
In tho plnce of un imaginary nnd ro-
ma'ntio influence upon the lawmaking
of this free for all feovernmemt there
bus thus grown up tho real mid substan
tial influence exercised by tho ever preB
ent aud zealous guardian of her bus
build's morals. Meanwhile, from being
tho mender of her lord’s sucks and torn
trousers, tho wife of tho statesman lias
como to realize that she can occupy an
other and higher sphere in life, aud feel
ing her power lms begun by limiting all
around her feel it, who in turn emu
late her independence. So it comes
tlint from a combination of polities, bo-
ctety bobbing nnd female domination
the women of Washington huve estab
lished n status for thoiusolvcs.
Should ull tho men bo suddenly called
away from the capital for a journey
across tho Styx thoro is no legitimate
business that would ho loft without a
votary and no profession would full into
declino. Beyond tlio closing of a tow
charitablo institutions things would re
main ns they nre. Lawsuits would ho
no fewer or less skillfully conducted;
doctors and druggists would still get in
their daily work; butchers and bakers
and candlestick makers would still ho
sufficiently numerous; preachers and
merchants woftld equal the demand;
barbers would bo more plenty than
beards; rcql cstato agents would still he
forming pools and combinations und
speculating in city nnd suburban prop
erty. An undertaker is about tho only
thing of importance which would not
ho found. Thus far tho men havo that
business to themselves.
When Spinner opened the departments
for the emptyment of women lie gave
them nu opportunity for advancement.
Tile thing has worked itself out now and
tho female clerk is on established insti
tution, bo to speuk, in good standing,
with a fair ineomo—and sometimes a
fair face ns well—recognized aud ap
proved s 0f- by good society, and in a
measure fashionable. Her social stand
ing ns a class comes perhaps from the
fact that she is more often tho friend of
tlio wives of statesmen than of the
statesmen themselves, those watchful
guardians exercising some discretion in
the matter of favors to their own sex.
Out of this lias come tho recognition
of woman ns a self supporting creature,
withuut loss of standing, and not all
hoitig able to get into tho departments
or to always hold places once secured
they havo invaded other occupations and
professions once sacred to tho wearers of
trousers. Of course female teachers,
doctors and lawyers aro no longer a nov
elty, und a great many have gone into u
small private brokerage business. One
woman lias gone regularly into the real
estate, loan, trust and insurance busi
ness, and has turned out to ho one of the
best “businessmen” of the thousand und
one who keep their eyes on every foot of
ground in and ubout Washington. She
lias opened up new subdivisions, formed
syndicates and done booming with tlie
best of them. The girls have almost
driven young men out of the stenogra
phy. aud typewriting business, and even
around the political headquarters, whore
men only used to he employed, women
now outnumber men two to one.
The best of ft all is that with all this
the social stains of the women remains
unchanged; they are still treated with
tho greatest deference and courtesy, and
a “strong minded" woman is a rarity.
What would you think to Bee a shop
girl in a tailor made riding habit gallop
ing through Central park on a stylish
horse? It would not be a common sight.
It is not at all uncommon to see parties
of shopgirls—salesladies—well dressed
aud well inouuted, riding along theinost
fashionable drives, looking as stylish
and pretty and enjoying themselves os
much as the richest daughter of fashion
whom they may pass on the road. The
girls in some of the larger stores belong
to riding clubs and have riding masters
who take tl«:m out two or three times a

Judge Charlie Crisp, of Georgia, may

Monstrous Force of Tornadoes.
Much has been said about electricity
as a factor for destructiveness in the va
rious gyrating storm clouds known as
cyclones, drechoes and tornadoes. In
all of this voluminous muss of so called
scientific opinions and deductions one
fact seems to havo been entirely over
looked—viz., tho almost resistless force
of wind when moving with high ve
locity. When tho velocity is but fifty
miles an hour the pressure of air iu mo
tion is equal to twelvo pounds to the
square foot, und when this velocity rises
to 100 miles per hour its force rises to
the equivalent of 40.3 pounds to the
square foot, the augmentation of force
lacing always proportional to the square
of the velocity.
It needs no further elaboration or am
plification cf this statement to convoy
to tho intelligent reader an idea of the
monstrous mechanical forco which such
a rapid traveling mass of air must havo
—a power great enough to tear down
any structure that has yet been built by
man, or to uproot whole forests of the
largest trees now growing on the sur
face of tho earth.—St. Louis Republic.

liny Watches.
The fancy for small watches is a
revival of ancient fashion. It is
chronicled that bloody Queen Mary
possessed an octagon silver watch,
whose dial plate measured only nine-
tenths of an inch in diameter. Her
unfortunate namesake, Mary, queen
of Scots, took pride ifi a small silver
death's head that concealed a dial in
its throat. The works took tbe place
of brains, and were wouiyl up with
catgut The lower jaw opened on
hinges to reveal the dial, and a small
ring in the top of the skull served to
attach the uncanny ornament to a
chatelaine.—Jewelers’ Review.

A Clever Kopiy from a Cracker.
A big passenger train full of northern
people was temporarily halted in a
dreary sand plain where tho only object
iu aight was a woebegone looking
cracker sitting on a sand duud busily en
gaged iu doing nothing. In the train
was a “smart Aleck,” who thought that
he would havo some fun with tho
cracker. So ho put his head out of the
window and called out, “My friend, this
appears to he a pretty fine country you
havo hero.”
“I reckon,” replied the native without
looking up, “How much of a population
have you in this town?” continued the
smart Aleck as he winked his friends
iu the car. “Waal,” replied the cracker,
“ ’bout 10,000, 1 reckon, and nary a fool
among them. Wo did send for one last
week as a specimen, hut denied ef we
thought he’d come so soon.”—New York

The Lost of the Dulr.
Hair is merely an appendage to
the akin, and its loss has no effect at
all on the individual, except as it
may render the head sensitive to
cold. But this is easily remedied by
artificial coverings in the same way
as we supply other bodily losses by
false teeth, false legs and false arms.

Chinese Clocks.
Since the introduction of European
clocks in China clepsydras have fallen
into disuse. The only one perhaps

ata, so much admired, are mere

The Dog's Idea of Man.
It has been said that a man stands
to his dog in the position of a god;
but when we consider that our own
conceptions of deity lead us to the
general idea of an enormously power
ful and omniscient man, who loves,
hates, desires, rewards and punishes
in humanlike fashion, it involves no
strain of imagination to conceive that
from the dog’s point of view his
master is an elongated and abnor
mally cunning dog; of different shape
and manners, certainly to the com
mon run of dogs, yet canine in his
essential nature.—Dr. Louis Robin
