The indications (or Georgia to-day are generally fair weather, except showers on the coast, with light to fresh, east to south winds; and for Eastern Florida, lo cal rains and thunderstorms, with light to fresh aoutheaalerly winds. The Sultan of Turkey is to celebrate his silver jubilee on the last day of the cur rent month. Secretary Hay may signal lie the day by presenting him with a freah ultimatum respecting chat unpaid indem n)ty. _ So far it does not appear that the Re publican Campaign Committee has Includ ed Col. Roosevelt’s great history of the Spanieh-American war, "Alone In Cuba, or How I Captured Santiago," among its cempaign literature. The story that ex-Speaker Reed has been blacklisted by the administration does not taliy with that other story that Joe Man ley has officially invited him to speak for McKinley during the campaign. The lat ter is probably the true narrative. Frank Pettigrew, son of the South Da kota senator, seems to have the courage of his father's convictions, since he has gone to South Africa to fight with the Boers. It would probably have pleased the elder Pettigrew more, however, if his eon had gone to Manila and offered his aid to Aguinaldo in chasing the miserable American soldiers into the sea. The rencus report respecting the popula tion of Cincinnati is well calculated to put other cilies upon notice not to be too sore ly disappointed if their figures do not come up to their expectations. Cincinnati is a virile, vigorous city, in a populous and prosperous section of the country; never theless her increase in population has been lees than 10 per cent, in ten years. Gov. Mount of Indiana most be interested In the reports of the trial of Caleb Pow ers at Georgetown, Ky. The mass of the testimony given so far has tended to show that Gov. Taylor was about as much im plicated In the assassination of Goebel as the man who is on trial. Gov. Mount has been protecting ex-Gov. Taylor on the as sumption that there was no case against him. The Democrats of Kentucky are going to spike the anti-Goebel-law guns of the Republicans. The Republicans have made the amendment of the election law the paramount Issue of the campaign. The Democrats will hold an extra session of the Legislature and change the law so that there can be no objection to It. This will be done long In advance of the elec tion, so that the Republicans will be de prived of what they consider their biggest and best Issue. Senator Wellington of Maryland, on nounces that he Is unalterably opposed to McKinley, and will do what he can to de feat him. He Is against McKinley be cause he stands for imperialism, and “has deceived me In national affairs.” The Btnntor declares that he has never been a negative quality in politics, and will not be this year; which means, presuma bly, that he will support Bryan. Welling ton and Gorman pulling together tvill be a sight worth seeing. It is calculated that there will be be tween 3,000,000 and 3,500.000 young men, who will cast their firs! presidential votes next November. There will he 250,000 of these "maiden" ballots in Illinois, and ap proximately as many In Indiana and Ohio. In these three states especial cfforis are to be mode by each party to secure these vote*. The Republicans, It Is said, will employ l>rnse bands, torch light proces sions and other spectacular features, while the Democrats will depend chiefly Upon aa appeal to reason. THIS NORTH CAROLINA RLRCTTOX* It would not be surprising if there should be some instances of violence in North Carolina to-day, growing out of *he election, but there is no reason for apprehending trouble of a very serious nature. Political excitement has been running high for several weeks, and there have been complaints of bulldozing and in timidation, but nothing hos occurred that Indicates that fhe election will not be a fair one. It is sold that in some parts of the eta:e the Populist speakers and the speakers of their allies, the Republi cans. have not been cordially received in fact, have been told that they could not hold meetings—but, as a rule, there has been a pretty fair all around. Both sides will get out their full vote, and that is ail that anybody can reason ably osk. Outside of the state the interest centers wholly in the proposed constitutional amendment for disfranchising the negroew. That this amendment will be adopted by a majority of from 20.000 to 40.000. is very generally admitted. Even the Populists and the Republicans concede that the amendment will he adopted, and they are trying to save the Legislature. Their ef fort will be in vain, however. The Dem ocrats Intend to make clean sweep. Not only will the negro be eliminated from the politics of the state, but all of the offices will pass into the possession of the Democrats. North Carolina will be the fourth South ern state to eliminate the negro vote, .md it is probable that this reform move ment will go on until the negro is out of politics in all of the Southern states. It hoe been clearly demonstrated that a superior and an inferior race cannot get along satisfactorily together on the basis of equal political rights. The superior race will not submit lo the domination of the inferior one, and as long os the negro has the ballot and a big backing of voters, it is but natural that he should want a share of the offices. Ti looks as if the Republican party had about come to the conclusion that the placing of the ballot in the hands of the negro before he was ready for it was a mistake—at least, it is rot manifesting any disposition to put itself in the way of the movement for the disfranchisement of the negro. As a matter of fact the negro in the South i * n mil J-stone around the neck of the Republican party. He gives that party no representatives in Congress, and no mem bers in the electoral college, and his greed for office and conduct at national conven tions tend to bring that party into disrepute. Not only that, but he prevents the Republican party from making any progress in the South. AII things con sidered. therefore, it is probable that the Republican party would rather that the movement in the South to disfranchise the negro should succeed than fall. TALL REPUBLICAN TALK. The Republicans are doing a great deal of talking about the splendid prospects of their party for success, and from what they are saying one might suppoef that they are expecting a walk-over. In Washing!on, on Sunday, Senator Sco't of West Virginia told some newspaper men that the prosperity of the country was so great that the people would not hear of a change In the administration—that many influential Republicans were saying ihat there w r as no need of speeches and parades by the Republicans, because the people had made up their minds to keep the Republican party In power. And Assistant Secretary of War, Mr. Meikeljohn, who has just returned from Nebraska, and who wants to be senator from that state, tells his Republican friends that that state Is certain to go for Mr. McKinley. Was there ever any thing so preposterous? Why Mr. Bryan will carry his own state by a very much larger majority than Mr. McKinley will carry Ohio. Indeed there are serious doubts In the minds of many Republicans whether the President will be able to carry his own state. Mr. Meikeljohn Is so anxious to be a United Stares senator that he can see nothing but Republican victory in Ne braska. There is a great disappointment in store for him. And Senator Scott must know that in all parts of the country mills are being shut down. Unless times improve greatly there will soon be cries of distress from the mill districts in pret ty nearly all parts of the country. The Republicans are Insisting that there is great prosperity, and they would make that claim if half the factories were closed; but the public Is not to be de ceived by such campaign yarns. It is true that the country is much better off than it was during the campaign of 1896, but it is not as prosperous as it was a year ago, nor sufficiently prosperous to Justlfy the Republicans in making prosperity the basis of their campaign speeches. Be sides. if there were great prosperity there would be no ground on which the Repub licans could justly claim credit for it. It is said that Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske, the actress, registers from Mobile, Ala., when she goes away from home. She is now in Europe, and always writes “Mo bile” on hotel registers after her name. Many persons have wondered why she does not register from New York. The expla nation is that Mrs. Fiske was born and reared in Mobile, and has never ceased to regard that city as “home.” The Mobile Register says her father, Mr. Maddern, was manager of the theater there, and the family lived over Betancourt's store, next door. "Many an old Mobillan,” says the paper, “remember# the bright-eyed, auburn-haired little lass, the Minnie Mad. dein of that day.'.' Few true-blue South ern women ever repudiate the homes of their birth and youth, even when they have won fame and fortune. What will be the effect u;>on the Triple Alliance of the death of King Humbert? The question Is likely to receive profound attention shortly. Humbert has been re garded as the. mainstay of the compact between Germany, Austria and Italy, since the retirement and death of Bismarck. Conditions have changed since the famotls agreement was made, and with new and young men at the head of two of the con tracting governments, it may be that changes in the compact will be deemed de sirable. At the time of the assassination of the Empress of Austria not long ago King Humbert was warned that he had been marked for a similar attack by the an archist*, and his attendants besought him to be more careful for his safety. He Is •aid to have replied to them; “I must take chances, for that lg a purl of the i trade of a king.'* THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY,' AUGUST 2. 1900. CIHtXS BETTER SATISFIED. The Cubans are beginning to believe 1 now that the United States mean to i deal with them honestly. A large major ity of them have doubted that the United States intended that Cuba should be an | independent state, and for that reason ! they have not shown a friendly feeling for Americans. Even the turning of the governments of the towns over to Cubans did not satisfy them of the good faith ot the United States. Now that an election for delegatee to a convention to frame a constitution is to be held on the Third Saturday in September, and the conven tion is to meet on the first Monday in November, their doubts as to the pur pose of the I'nited States have begun to disappear and they are showing a more friendly disposition. The convention will be a very small one. It will consist of only thirty-one delegates. It will be large enough, how ever. If the convention should be ns large as the average constitutional con vention in this country it would take the Cubans a year or more to frame a con stitution. No doubt there will be some men among the delegates familiar wi’h the work of constitution making, and it is probable that the United States gov ernment will take the privilege of super vising the convention’s work. It is prob able, therefore, that the convention wlil submit to the people for their acceptance or rejection an instrument that will be very generally satisfactory. The United States are pledged to establish an en lightened and stable government in Cuba, and they will therefore exercise the right of directing the affairs of the island un til the time comes for them to withdraw from the Island. It is probable that in the convention the question of annexation will be given some consideration, but it is quite certain that no effort will be made to bring about annexation. It will be better for the Cu bans to give self-government a trial. If the trial should be a failure, then annex ation would come and it would be perma nent. It is said the Cubans are taking a very great interest in the election of delegates to the constitutional convention. It certain that it is the hope in this coun try that they will be wise enough to choose the very ablest men in the island for delegates. The future of the island depends largely upon rhis convention. It can make or mar Cuba’s future. THE HILL AND CHOKER FEUD. The accounts in the New York news papers of the efforts of Senator Jones. Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, to make peace between ex- Senator Hill and Mr. Croker are decid edly interesting, but rather indefinite. According to these accounts Mr. Jones is very well satisfied with what he has accomplished. He says that Mr. Hill and Mr. Croker will work together for the success of the ticket. No doubt they will work for the suc cess of the ticket, but It is doubtful If they will work together. Each will work in his own way, and that way will be to defeat each other's plans for accomplish ing personal ends. It is doubtful if Mr. Hill and Mr. Crok er will ever again pull together in double harness. They hate each other too bit terly. Each is an able man and each wants to dominate. As between the two, it is probable that Mr. Hill is prepared to make greater sacrifices for the success of the national party than Mr. Croker. The impression is abroad that Mr. Crok er's first consideration Is the success of Tammany. This impression may do him an injustice, yet there is much apparent ly that confirms it. But what difference does It make whether Mr. Hill and Mr. Croker are rec onciled or not? Because ©f the quarrel between these two leaders Democrats of New York are not going to remain away from the polls. It is doubtful if the an nouncement that they had settled all of their differences were made a thousand votes would be affected one way or the other. Let them continue their feud if they want to, but let them understand that they will be held responsible if they sacrifice the welfare of the party in any way in their efforts tO’ injure each other. The New York Supreme Court has de cided that a person may recover damages for the unauthorized use of said person’s portrait for advertising purposes. A man ufacturing company had been using (he picture of a pretty young woman of Rochester on some of its packages. She objected, but the company claimed that she had no property right in her own por trait. The matter was taken into court, and the lower court sustained the conten tion of the company. The case was ap pealed. The Supreme Court holds that the young woman's right of privacy has been invaded, and that she is entitled lo dam ages. The decision draws the line sharply between those public persons whose pic tures and lives are rightfully public prop erly, and private citizens, such as the young woman complainant, to whom pub licity would bring embarrassment and un pleasant notoriety. It may be doubted that a direct advance upon Pekin has been begun, owing to the smallness of the available forces for such a movement and the resistance that would almost certainly be encountered. It is however, that a preliminary ad vance has been begun, with a view to establishing a base of supplies beyond Tien Tstn to be drawn upon when the main expedition moves upon the capital. It I* now clearly understood to be the policy of this government, and of those of Great Britain and Japan, to push through to Pekin with the lenst possible delay; hence it is to be expected that the rush to the rescue of the legatloners will not he long delayed. The preliminary work which Is now going forward will facilitate the at tack, which will no doubt be begun as soon as reinforcements have been landed. On her official trial trip, (he other day, the new Russian cruiser Variag, built In Philadelphia, proved herself the fastest craft of her tonnage and type in the world. For more than seven and a half hours her average speed was 23.7 knots, while In one ten-mile spurt her speed was at the rate of 24.6 knots. An acci dent, however, spoiled the trial, and she will have to undergo a second test. It is claimed that there are two cruisers In the French navy that are approximately as speedy as the Variag, but they have 23,01)0 and 22,000 horse-power, respectively, to the Russian's 17,000 horse-power. This, If Is claimed, proves that the American model hull is superior to the French anode!

She. is the. queen of imagination—beauti ful. graceful and gracious, with a natural dignity that proclaims its royalty. The Queen is fond of the splendor of court life, and is thoroughly happy at a great state ceremonial, ball or banquet, sur rounded by magnificence. Her interests in life are many, and her activity is wonder ful. She is a brilliant woman of the world, fond of the society of thinking men, and enjoys conversing with men of science, artists and politicians. The Queen also takes a warm interest in the move ment for the advancement of women, and keeps herself thoroughly acquainted with its doings, though she abhors a blue stocking. She is a very hard worker, and knows how to make others work. too. There is no doubt that Queen Margherita strengthens the tie between the King and the people, and, whatever may happen, the Queen is likely to remain the most popular woman in the country.'* BRIGHT BITS. —An Expert.—“ She is quite a linguist." “Oh, yes; she speaks French, Italian, Ger man, and golf."—Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. —The Lady—“ How Is it I never see any of Mr. Brushstreak’s pictures hung in any of the galleries?” The Artist—“ Han ging Is too good for them.”—Harper’s Ba zar. —Worse Still.—She—“How dreadful it would be if one were suddenly to find one's self in the clutches of a shark."

CTHHENT COMMENT. The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says: “Gen. Matt W. Ransom, perhaps the big gest man in North Carolina, was driven Into retirement because he would not change his views in 1896 lo suit Tillman and Altgeld. Now he Is throwing him self Into the great campaign for white supremacy In his state with as much vig or as if he had never been slighted by the constituency which he served so long and so well. The fine old fellow has always shown himself ready to help his people when they needed him. He Is a statesman, not a peanut politician. One man like him were worth more to a community in Con gress than a score of puppets who are habitually immaculate in their ‘party reg ularity.' ” The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says; "In England's copy of the Chinese Em peror's appeal for mediation it is stated that 'of the foreign commerce of China more than 70 per cent, belongs to Great Britain.' This result has been gained not by efforts to cultivate the friendship of China, but by two wars and a refusal to submit to the smallest discourtesy. It is the English doctrine that force only can make the Chinese even tolerably decent.” The Chicago Chronicle (IJem.) says “ The Democratic party Is entitled to the highest respect because It Is animated by the highest and noblest of purposes—a pur pose Identical with that which inspired the patriots and heroes of 1776.” The Montgomery Advertiser (Dem.) says: "Wonder if Mr. Debs is still running for President? If so. he must be outside mall and telegraph boundaries, or we would hear something from him." The Chicago Journal (Ind.) says: "Lieut. Gen. Miles has added a star to his uni form and pul gold handles on his bath tub. He Is now tuei-ared to handle the -Chinese trial*.”- Does it Pny to Be Polite? Editor Morning News: In Saturday’s Is sue of the News was a clipping from one of your exchanges: “Does It Pay to Be Polite?” instancing the annoyance of a gentleman holding a springdoor open for a hesitating lady. That occurrence brings to mind an In cident somewhat similar: Several years ago a younw merchant of one of the interior towns of Florida, re turning from a purchasing trip in the mar kets of the North and East, came South by the l>eautiful Shenandoah route. The breakfast house was at the Luray Inn, and trains from the South and North met there. The Florida merchant was amongst the first to enter the breakfast room, and promptly gave his order, w r hich was also promptly served. Just at the time his breakfast was placted before him, a lady and little girl were shown to the samo table. Politely, he asked the lady if she would not accept the spread just made, and he would order again. With thanks she. accented and she and the girl began at once upon the viands. There was a short delay in filling the second order, which made the merchant somewhat late in finishing his breakfast. In the meantime the lady and little girl had finished their meal and left the room. The train was called by the porter as the merchant concluded his repast, and in passing out, handed the cashier 75 cents, the customary price of a meal. “I want a dollar and a half more,” said the cashier. “What for?” responded the Florida man. “For that lady’s and little girl’s break fast,” responded the eatinghouse cashier. “I guess not,” answered the merchant. “I have nothing to do with them.” “Well,” answered the cashier, “they said you would pay for their breakfast.” ”1 do not know them, nor am I respon sible for their meals,” again said the mer chant. “Well, those breakfasts will have to be paid for. They were with you and they said you would settle for them. You can not leave until that bill is paid,” replied the cashier. “Am I to be held responsible for all the people who ate breakfast this morning, because they happened to be in the break fast room the same time I was?” angrily asked the Florida man. “Those two breakfasts have got to be paid for. The lady certainly said you would settle for them, and you can’t leave until they are paid for.” Time was up and the Florida man held a limited ticket, and if he stayed to further argue the case he would lose the value of his ticket. So he paid the additional $1.50. He has never satisfied himself whether the woman im posed upon the cashier of whether the cashier saw the opportunity of forcing the merchant to pay that additional $1.50 as a clear bluff. Anyway it has satisfied the Florida mer chant that it does not pay to always be polite. Whether the lady was so ignorant of the laws of etiquette a$ to understand the merchant as offering to furnish her break fast for herself and girl and did really tell the cashier the gentleman who was seated at the same table with her would pay for their breakfasts, or whether the cashier saw the opportunity to bluff or bulldoze the man into paying the demand, is still an unsolved problem.

Tommy Atkinses; console me, if you can! I’ve been a private; now, alas! I am a public man.

TnUliiß Things Ensy In Cnlm. “I was stopping for a few weeks with an American friend on his sugar planta tion in Cuba,” said a congressman who recently visited the island; “and one day as I was riding out alone I came across one of the wagons loaded with cane brok en down in the field. A hind wheel had come off. and the driver of the oxen, who was a boy about 15 years old, was taking things as cool as ice, not oven having un hitched his beasts. " 'When did It happen?' I asked, as I got down. “ ‘Hours ago. senor,’ he replied. " 'And haven't you reported to the over seer?' "No. senor.” " ‘But why have you wasted all this time when there is need-of hurry?"
