Joel Chandler Harris, who is dead at the age of 60, will be re membered for many generations as the creator of "Uncle Remus" and all that the name implies. No man excelled Mr. Harris in portraying the Southern darkey. As a youth he had witnessed Sher man's march to the sea, and he was able to bring a store of remi niscences to his formal fiction. Millions of children in America, III CllglUIIU, 111 iui Ull oiuiu auu ai the antipodes, wherever the l:n- glish language is understood, have been delighted beyond measure by the inimitable doings of Bre'r Rab bit, Bre'r Wolf, Bre'r l:ux, Bre'r Mink and the rest of that wonder ful company. Dialect has not stood in the way of appreciation, whether in the North or in the South, in the bast or in the West. All sorts and conditions of people will mourn the death of this kind ly man, who has been priv.leged to contribute more to the word's stock of happiness than can easily be calculated. Children will Feel a loss in the departure of that friend of child hood who exerted himself with out stint for their entertainment. Their elders must join in the re gret, as they look wistfully baek on their earliest acquaintance with "Uncle Remus," an acquaintance which men and women have been rejoiced to renew as one of the pleasures of parenthood. The place of Jod'Chandlcr Harris among American w riters is assured, and it is unique. He was the Homer of the Southern darkey, ihe mas ter and creator of unparalleled folklore. Mk. yX'richt is the third Demo crat to enter the Roosevelt Cabi net. But Mr. Straus had held of fice under President Mckinley since he had under President Cleveland, and Mr. Morton had never held any ollice or figured at all in politics. Mr. Stanton was a Buchanan Democrat so far as the public was aware when President Lincoln's nomination of him to be Secretary of State "fell like a bombshell" in the Senate, as a con temporary account records. Phil adelphia Record. I T now appears highly probable that William J. Bryan, the able, eloquent, and honest statesman that he is will be nominated for the Presidency at the Denver conven tion. This paper has not been a Bryan supporter for the nouiina- lion. It he is nominated, however, as soon as he is then he is our man "from the word go." And we readily agree that the expe rienced and far-sighted lea'dersand councilors who advocate his nom ination may be entirely right; but this fact if it be a fact does net debar us From having an opinion nor deny us the right lo express it. We have expressed our choice and opinion and that ends it. Candidate Sherman has long been known as "Sunny Jim," but he will not be much of a force in this campaign. OASTOniA.
