; ; ; 9 ; HOKE SMITH OF GEORGIA. Something About a Very Much Talked About Young Democratic Editor. Hoke Smith, who is going in Cleveland’s cabinet, has a record fora young man. He is only 37 years old, and since he passed his 25th birthday bas made a fortuue for himself that isn’t far from $500,-| 000. He is not only a young man in’ years, but is naturally a “young! fellow.” He was born in North Car | olina and studied law and was ad | mitted to the bar in that state. Then he moved to Atianta. He is a bright quick, sledge hammer speaker, aud} he soon made his way to the top.) In personal appearance he is very, much like the lrte Henry W Grady, andis very like him, too, in his ideas. | He married a niece of Howell E Cobb, who was a member of Bu ehanau’s cabinet. He bought the Atlanta Journal when it was iu a pretty shaky condition, and he struck it just right. The Journal is to-day one of the best paying newspaper properties in the south The last time the writer saw Hoke Smith was ata New Year's eve mas- querade party at a fashionable resi dence on Peachtree street, Atlanta. He came in black mask and domino and was the youngest and merriest man of the party What sort of a cabinet officer he will make remains to be seen, but he isa good fellow and a good lawyer.

As to chloroforming being “less painful” than to die on the gallows, whether the neck is broken or not, Lhave my doubts. Many of our stroug able-bodied men resist for several moments the anethetic ac- tion of chloroform. To them it is an awful smothering sensation, which is shown by the muscular resistance and the glare of the eyes In case of hanging, when properly executed there cannot be the slightest pain after the instautaueous shock, as all nerve communication with the b:ain is cut off and that most potent or gan becomes completely digested, wich, no doubt, is «quivalent to profound sleep.

Weissert, Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army has written a letter to Representative O'Neil in protest against his propose. pension reforms. The law as it stands gives pensions to all men who served for 90 days during the civil war if they have become or shall hereafter become in whole or partly disabled for manual labor. Under the provision pensions have been given to well-to-do men, to rich men, to men whom the Govern- ment already hires at good salaries,to lawyers with a large practice to doc- tors merchants and members of Con- gress. The payment of pensions to such | men is an abuse. It iealsoa wrong to the disabled and helpless old soldie:s The latter are not half well enough cared for, and one reason is that the mouey which should be available for their support is paid to thousands of men perfectly well able to support themselve.or possessed of the means of their own. Mauy millions are drawn every year by men who do not need Government aid. Mr.O'Neil purposes to correct this. He purposes that disability pensions shall not be paid tomen who were not disabled in service or by reason af service when euch men have incomes of more than $600 a year. This clause Mr. Weissert regards as specially obnoxious ‘because it requires a publicacknowledgement of poverty ” But what shame can any bonerable man feel in acknowledgiug poverty due to physical inability to work? ‘Lhe essential*idea in granting pensious to men not disabled in ser vice is to relieve their poverty when they grow old or fall victims to dis ease.

Mr. Weissert also objects to the proposal that widow’s pensions shal! not be paid to women who did not marry their soldier husband within five years after their discharge from service. The number of years fixed upon is a detail which can be change before action is taken if the period be deemed too short. But something should be done to check the practice on the part of designing young wo |; men of marrying old soldiers simply for the sake of a pension after their japproaching and perhaps desired death. Onecase was recently report ed where a young woman of twenty married « moribund old soldier of eighty and claimed a pension as his widow.

Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 16.—The distovery of the desecration of the grave of Mrs. Comfort Myers, a much respected lady of 84 years who recently died, has created much excitement here For a few nights after the burial the friends of the dead watched beside the grave but no one appeared to molest it. They have visited the grave regularly each morning since however.
