AtLea.t Make an Effort.

Do our business men and property owners
propose TO bear the additional insurance
burden which the Southeastern Tariff As
sociation has placed upon them, without
even a protest, and without making an
effort to have the burden removed . Do
they not know that this increase in insur-
ance rates will tend to drive business away
from here and prevent people from seeking
homes here' High rates of insurance tend
to make prices of all kinds of merchandise
and food supplies, and also the rents Of
dwelling Ouses. high. Unless tie condi-
tons under which we do business are as
favorable as those of neighboring cities, we
cannot compete succ essfully with them for
the trade Of debatable territory.
But, it may be asked, what are we to do.
Well, there are several things which can be
done. We can have a conn ittee appointed
to inquire whether there is any reasonable
cause for the increase in the rates. II there
isn't, then let demand be made upon the
tariff association to restore the old rates,
and if there is, then let demand be made
upon the city to remove the cause.
There is ground for asserting that If our
fire department were the best in the world,
and water was as abundant as it is In the
Savannah river when there is a freshet, no
one of the great fires that has occurred
this year would have been less disastrous.
The three fires that have cost the insurance
companies the most were the great fire of
A pril 6, the fire in the block on Broughton
street, between Whitaker and Barnard
h. g. -, AkA
yards. Is it charged that any one of these
fires could have been got under control
sooner than they were, even if the fire de-
partment had been twice as efficient as it is,
and the supply of water had been twice as
greata II it isn't 50 charged the tariff asso-
citation is not justified in increasing rates
for the reasons it alleges.
There is another tn ing that can be done
that will enable people to get insurance at
reasonable rates. 1t is to solicit few
strong insurance companies which do not
belong to the tariff association to arrange
to do business in this state, promising them,
II they establish agencies in this city, to
give them the bulk of the business, pro-
vided their rates are reasonable If an

outside of the tariff association could be
induced probably to comply with the Geor-
gia law and do business in this state to
control the bulk of the insurance business
in this city.
OF course. if we fold our hands and do
nothing we will have to pay the increased
rates just as long as the tariff association
is pleased to charge them, and it will charge
them doubtless just as long as it can get
them

When the Train Comes In.
Helen F. O'NeSu in Family Album.

There are eager faces near,
And half-subdued cheer,
AS around the curve the cars unsteady spin;
While impatient feet await
For the opening of the gate.
At the station when the train comes in.
There is bandshaking and kissing,
And inquiries for the missing,
And searching here and there for friends o
kin;
There are sad and fearful signs,
And waving of good-bys,
At the station when the train comes in.
Then from out the baggage car,
Oh, so careful, lest 10 jar,
Comes long and narrow box amid the din,
AS the mourners gather round,
There's a sobbing, wailing sound
At the station when the train comes in.
Then the ringing of the bell,
And the whistle clearly tell,
They are ready new journey to begin,
For it brooks not to be late,
There are other hearts that wait
At the station when the train comes In.

Even the Sheep Get Drunk in Kansas.

FROM ute CutC(VO IeTUtu.
Prohibition comes pretty near being a failure
in Kansas A traveller just from that state
says he had no trouble at all in getting all he
wanted to drink, though sometimes the bever-
age had queer-sounding names. One thing he
noticed particularly, and that was the large
amount of ginger ale that found circulation. In
almost any part of the state, and he was all
over it, he found Milwaukee ginger ale for sale
and he wondered thereat until accident showed
him that the bottles contained beer The mys-
terry was explained. One of the funniest things
he saw. however, in the state in the way of in
ebriety was on a sheep ranch. A man near
Manhattan owns a large ranch, and buys
whisky by the barrel for the especial benefit of
the sheep. He uses it on them as an antidote
for rattlesnake bites, and it works like a charm.
Rattlesnakes are very thick in that section,
and the herdsmen are obliged to be on the CON
tinual lookout, or many of the sheep would be
killed. The action of the poison on the sheep
is very queer. They soon after being bitten
stagger about and fall, and then begin to swell
up. When the herdsman sees a sheep fall he
rushes to it, and forces q quantity of whisky
down its throat, until it becomes thoroughly
intoxicated. The traveller says it is no odd
thing to see dozen or more staggering about
the prairie with jag on that would make an
old hummer wild with envy.

Ex-Gov. Rufus B. Bullock has written a
letter in which he says that the republican
defeat last week was due to federal inter-
ference in state elections. He says: eff the
Republican party is forced to defend the
issue of centralized power interfering with
the domestic affairs of the states, there will
be no possibility of political growth in the
south, and the reaction in the north will
make certain an opposition majority in the
next congressional election

Our dispatches announced yesterday that
the price paid by Mr. Robert Bonner, of
New York, for Senator Stanford's FLY,
Sunol, was the highest ever paid for
horse in the United States. Mr.. Bonner
would not say what the price was, but some
idea may be gathered concerning it from
the fact that he paid $4,000 for Maud S.
1t is said that he has paid as much as
100000 for horses since 1856. That year
his health was poor, and he was advised to
take a drive every day. He bought a
trotter, for which he paid 1915. In 1859
Lantern and mate were purchased by him
for $4,000, in 1860 Lady Palmer for S., 900,
a year later Flatbush Maid for $4,000, in
1864 Pocahontas for $4,000, in 1867 Dexter
for $1,000, and subsequently Bruno for
$4,000, Joe Elliott for $4,000, Startle for
$4,000, Mambrino BERTHE for $4,000, Lady
Stout for $4,000, Grafton for $4,000,
Wellesley Boy for $12, 1000, Maud Macy for
$4,000, Edwin Forrest for $4,000, Rarus
for s23, 200. Maud S. for $4,000, and a
number of others. Senator Stanford

A correspondent of a northern republi-
can newspaper compares the Republican
party to John L. Sullivan. He says that
before Sullivan fought Mitchell he was con-
fdent of victory, and therefore did not
train. Likewise the Republican party was
confident of success in last weeks elections,
and did not organize The truth is the
Republican party was defeated because the
people are losing confidence in it. The
northern correspondents comparison may
be interesting, but it lacks the element of
truth.

Amazed Delegates.

The pan-American delegates have COM
pleted their trip through the north and
west, and are now ready to discuss the
matters that will come before the inter-
national American conference. They en-
joyed the trip of 5000 miles very greatly,
and declare that they were as comfortable
in their Pullman coaches as they would
have been had they spent every night in a
hotel.
There is no doubt that they are much i'm
pressed with the push and energy of our
people, and with the wealth and resources
of our country. The thing that seems to
strike them the most forcibly is the part
iron plays in building up the country. They
speak of it continually. 1t is but natural
that they should, since they visited SO many
factories where they witnessed machinery,
made of iron, ia operation, and saw so
many miles of iron railway. on which the
rolling stock was largely composed of iron.
All of them feel certain that a railway
joining the three Americas ought to be
built as soon as possible. They think such
railway practicable, and they need no
urging to recommend, on their return to
their homes, to their respective govern
ments to give all possible encouragement to
such an enterprise. They all want more
frequent steamship communication with
this country, but they seem to hold that
secondary TO an international American
railroad.
They are not prepared yet, of course, to
say how trade with us can be increased.
England. France and Germany have the
bulk of the trade with them now, and they
retain it for several reasons, the chief of
which is they furnish them with what they
want for less money than we offer TO do it.
Those countries have excellent steamship
lines with South and Central American
ports, and their rates of exchange are much
less than ours.
While the delegates have not yet spoken
publicly on the tariff question, it is evident
that they will do SO during the conference,
and that they will say that our tariff laws
are barrier to trade with them, that it
| will be difficult, if not impossible, to over
come. Owing to our high import duties
they can get better prices for the bulk of
their products in Europe than in this coun-
| try, and owing to these same tariff laws
they can buy what they want in Europe
cheaper than in this country. 1t would not
be surprising if the conclusion reached by
the conference should be that while the
Central and South American republics are
willing to give us the preference, all things
being equal there is not much chance of in.
creasing our trade with those republics until
we have radically reformed our tariff laws

to keep up the fight. It doesn't seem to

aside. He is at the head of the republican
machinery of the state, and he proposes to
stay there. The Tribune might as well try
to adjust itself to the situation.
