Not Living Up to Her Principles.

The real estate speculation IN which Mrs.
Harrison and other ladies Of the white
house have become interested is exciting a
great deal of Comment, not only in Wash
ington, but elsewhere. The real estate in
question is located at Glen Echo Heights,
one OF the suburban resorts Of WasbingtO ton.
OF course Mrs. Harrison and other white
house ladies have a right 10 invest in real
estate in Washington and elsewhere if they
want to, but it is a question whether it IS
exactly proper for them 10 do 50. Only
few weeks ago, Mrs. Harrison, il
Speaking Of the criticism Of her accept
ance OF the gift Of a cottage at Cape
May Point, said sic saw no Improperly IN
what she had done, but declared
that she thought il highly imprope'
for a President, OF any member of his
household, to purchase property IN the
vicinity Of Washington for two reaso ns.
One was that the purchase might lead
others to buy real estate IN the same local
ity with the hope that it would appreciate
rapidly in value, as was the case when Mr..
Cleveland purchased Red Top, and the other
was that the commissioners of the District
Of Columbia, beng the appointees of the
President, might be influenced to make i'm
provements with the view Of enhancing the
value of the property.
No one doubts the soundness of these
reasons, but it is considered rather strange
that Mrs. Harrison forgot them so soon. 1t
is stated that the President knew nothing
of her purchase and that of her white house
friends until he saw an account Of the mat
ter III the newspapers. That is of no conse-
4uence, however, if he approves of her
action now. 1t seems that there Is a
bill pending in congress TO build a
railroad to the resort in which the
real estate is situated, and it IS understood
that the men who are managing the real
estate speculation got Mrs. Harrison and
other white house ladies interested in it for
advertising purposes. Indeed, it is consid-
cred doubtful if the holdings of tire white
house ladies cost them great deal. From
this it is seen that they are being made to
play rather undignified part in the specu-
lation.
Soon after Mrs. Harrison accepted the
Cape May Poirt cottage the Philadelphia
papers contained display advertisements
relative to Cape May Point, asserting that
it was to be the summer capital of the
nation, and no doubt the methods that will
be adopted to boom the Glen Echo Heights
property will include references to the
holdings of the white house ladies. 1t is to
be regretted that the greed for gain has
made it possible to use the Presidents
family, or any member of it, in any such

Tho Same Old Tactics.

The Atlanta Constitution is incapable of
discussing an issue fairly and squarely. 1t
lacks apparently the qualities necessary 10
do so. When shutting, evading aud I'M
truthful statements no longer avail it, ike
a rat driven into corner, it squeals defiance.
That sort of tactics may amuse some OF the
boys, but it does not satisfy or convince
thinking people.
couple of weeks ago the Constitution
asserted that "the alliance is the Demo-
cratic party itself" This preposterous
statement excited laughter throughout the
state. No allianceman had ever made such
a claim for the alliance and the MORNING
NEWS took occasion to show the ConStitu-
ton that IL was mistaken, and even quoted
the Southern Alliance Farmer, the ALI
ance organ, to show the true character of
the alliance. The Constitution wriggled
and shufiied. but finding itself cornered re-
sorted to its old tactics of making untruth-
full charges against the MORNING News.
One of these charges appeared in its
issue of Friday last The MORNING NEWS
quickly nailed it as an untruth. la its
Sunday issue it made a number of other
charges. o.. 1t said that the Constitution,
has long been the victim of the spleen of
the MORNING NEWS. II it has been the
MORNING NEWS is not aware of it. Pc. 60
haps the Constitution considers it an evil
dence Of spleen to question its assertion that
1.-THE alliance is the Democratic party itself. -
(2). 1t said the MORNING NEWS takes ad-
vantage of every opportunity to abuse or
belittle Atlanta or its enterprises. This is
conspicuously untrue. Why did
| not the Constitution support this
charge by quoting from the
columns of the MORNING NEWS? The reason
is that it couldn't. (3). 1t said that the
MORNING News stole matter from the
columns Of the Constitution. The MORN
ING NEWS had a controversy with the Com
Stttution on this charge month or so ago,
aud that paper was glad to drop the sub
| ject The MORNING NEWS made it
clear that the constitution had stole n
| from the columns of the MORNING NEWS
~. 1t said the MORNING NEWS is trying to
cripple and destroy the efficiency of CO.
! operative action among the farmers
| OF Georgia. Does the Constitution
base this charge upon the refusal
| of the MORNING News to indorsa its asser-
ton that 1.-The alliance is the Democrat C
party itself" If not. upon what does it
base it? As matter of fact it has nothing
upon which to base it, and it knows very
well that it has not. The charge is not
! true.
By making charges like these the Consti-
tuition tries to wriggle out of the position
in which it placed itself when it asserted
| GG&I =
itself" What pitful spectacle it presents f!
How bitter must be its thoughts when
it contemplates the loss of self-respect
involved in pursuing a course inconsistent
with honorable and fair journalism And
the MORNING NEWS wishes to remind the
| Constitution that it has not said word
about that papers remarkable silence rela-
tive to the sub-trelsury plan and its efforts
to capture the speakership of the next
legislature.

The question whether young man who

years in college is being discussed again.
The Chicago Ne,cS has published the views
of a number of leading statesmen, politi-

the prevailing opinion among them is that

Seventy years ago congress passed a
pauper pension bill, by the provisions of
which pension was granted every revolu-
tionary soldier who, by reason of reduced
circumstances. was in need of assistance.
Il was claimed at the time that the num-
Der of such veterans would be 374, and that
it would not take more than SAL 900
annually for their relief Bnt the actual
result was the filing Of 2S, 555 applications
within two years, the increase of pension
expenditures by $4,000, 900, and at last an
investigation which unearthed scandalous
frauds and ended in removing the names of
5000 Of these pauper pensioners from the
rolls. The danger of a similar epidemic of
pauperism among the veterans. which is
making its appearance now, could have
been averted by the majority in congress,
but they took no heed of the warning in
this precedent, and enacted another pauper
pension bill which threatens to develop a
more scandalous state Of affairs than the
former bill

Austria and servia are having a tar

Austria and Servia are having a tariff
war. Austria some time ago forbade the
importation of Servian pork. This was a
hard blow to the Servien farmers, who
breed hogs chiefly. After repeated threats,
the Servian government has now decreed a
high duty on Austrian grain, which will
practically exclude Austrian grain from
Servia, and as Hungary and Slavonia are
grain raising countries, that measure tells.
This gives us some idea what the effect
would be on the farmers in this country if
the European powers should enforce their
threat to exclude our breadstuffs in the
event of the passage of the Mckinley bill.
