The appoint ment was made by the president, and it came after a hot contest. There were many applicants for the office held by Mr. Clements. Among them were Col. Buck Kil gore, of Texas, and Colonel Chor ter, of the Alabama railroad com mission. Both of the latter had the strongest sort of endorsements. Mr. Clements stood on ths record he has made s.nce appointed to the office three years ago. That carried him through, and it is the highest compliment that could be paid the distinguished Georgian.—Griffin Newi. NEMESIS REPORTS That E. V.’Debbe goes to jail for six months. That John Y.

COMMISSIONER CLEMENTS In reappointing Judson Clements to the interstate railroad commis sion, President Cleveland has won the gratitude of Georgia Demo crats. Mr. Clements enters upon a new term of six years. He has rendered valuable service as a member of the commission, and, it is under stood, planted himself, while his opponents were receiving the high est indorsements, squarely upo i his record during the time that he has served upon that board. Col. Buck Kilgore of Texas and Rail road Commissioner Shorter of Ala bama were in the field, and they had broad and substantial back ing. But Clements’ record won. Clements :s not only a gentle man whom Georgians are glad to see honored, but he once saved the party at a very critical time by defeating the Indepentent candi date, Dr. Felton, in the Seventh and re-establishing Democratic prestige in that district. It was in that contest that he won the title “Victorious Moun tain Colt,” sos the race was a great one and he distanced his rival, to the glory of the Democracy. Let Cleveland select no Demo crats less unimpeachable than Jud son Clements and Georgia, at least, will never quarrel with his appoint ments. —Macon News. A POPULISTS’ WIFE ANSWERS A FLIMSY ARGUMENT OF HER HUSBAN D. There is a promi nent Populist speaker in Texas who has a wife with a head on her and he submits all his speeches to her before their delivery, says the Texas Sandwich. He prepared one recently, rather rearranged the same old chestnut that appeared in every Populist speech, one of which was as fol lows :“Fellow-citizens, this country ie on the verg of starvation. The wolf is not at our door, but he is within the very walls of homes, gnawing on the vitals of our wives and children. Our little ones are crying for bread, while we men, upon whom® they are dependent for a living, wander weary and footsore, in our fruitless search for work—” at this juncture the pa tient wife stopped and said : “Look here, John, I can stand for you to make a fool of your seif, and have put up with good deal of exagera tion on your part I didn’t like, but when you come to down right ly ing, as you do when you say your family is dependent on you for a living, and that our children are crying for bread, it is a reflection on me and I will not put up with it. You know I made a good crop last year, and that we have some money, plenty of provisions, and are by no means naked. So I think t is a sin and a shame for you to make the people believe that we are on the road to the poorhouss. You have got to quit that, or I will cut your rations ofl'i That is all.” That was a deadener. The orator didn’t like it, of course, but he promised his wife that, should he ever make any more sp°eches, he would never place her in a false light again.
