a Possible Danger.

1t has become quite common for masked
men to rob railway trains. Such thing as
stopping train and robbing the mail car
and the passengers was hardly thought of a
few years ago.
There are no pirates sailing the seas now
adays, but would it not be an easy matter
for fifty or hundred men in a swift-sail-
ing and well-armed vessel to meet an in
coming steamer hundred miles or SO from
the coast, rob her and then make their es-
capes
The European steamers frequently carry
large sums of money. 1t is reported that
the steamship Majestic is on her way to this
country now with g., 225, 900 in gold. That
sum would furnish handsome little fortune
TO each of a hundred men, and hundred
daring and desperate men. with vessel
carrying number of heavy guns, wouldn't
have much trouble, perhaps, in robbing
the Majestic.
Of course they would have some difficulty
in escaping with their booty, but they
would stand as good chance
of escaping as the train rob-
bers They could run tEeir vessel ashore
before the steamer could reach port, aud,
having divided their plumber. could pretty
easily escape detection. II masked when
they boarded the steamer it would he
difficult to identify them. They could
appear upon the streets of New York with
almost entire safety. The chief thing they
would have to fear would be failure tc
keep faith with each other.

The Ellington Fertllizar an.

The agricultural committee of the Hou e
has decided to report the Ellington fertiliz
bill favOrably, and the bill doubtle will be
the subject OF a long debate. The bill
differs very little in principle from the
Brady Till, which the last legislature re-
fused TO pass. The impression was very
generally entertained after the Brady bill
had been carefully conside5ei that II was
an unwise mess urs an would rot be bene-
hcial 10 the farmers whom il was intended
10 benefit. II the Brady bill was q bed

farmers from the payment for fertilizers

But would 1t not be far better plan to

commissioner of agriculture, undertakes

Overheard Went Barnabas. y

That the incident told of in the following
paragraph actually happened on one OF the
lakes the other day is vouched for by the vera.
cious Free Press of Detroit:
On certain small boat the crew consisted of
the captain, Barnabas, who was first mate. and
John the cook. John was sufferer, but he
could sing pretty well.
One day the captain was below taking nap.
while BaFnabaS and John were running the
boat. sudden squali happened to come IN.
and puff Of wind brought the boom around
with such unexpected violence as to knock the
unwary Barnabas overload. Thereupon John
rushed into the cabin in the widest excitement
to inform the captain of what had occurred.
but, as usual, he was unable to get out a
coherent sentence
"B-b-b-b-," he suffered. until the cap

'Thunderation. man, sing it if you can't say

Parnelrs Kule or Ruin Policy.

Mr.. PsrnelI seems determined 10 ruin his
party If he is not permitted to lead it. He
/ is carrying things with a high hand in Ire
land. and he does not seem averse to using
force to accomplish this purposes. His con-
duct in the office Of the United Ireland, a
newspaper printed IN Dublin, was overbear
ing and aggressive in the extreme. He did
not appeal u the law to assist him IN getting
possession of the paper. lie adopted 4 much
more summary method.
A vote taken in the diff 3relt organiZa-
tons in Ireland shows that a majority OF
the Irish people sustain INN, but the opposi-
ton to him is very strong, and is apparently
growing stronger. The priests are against
him, and their influence is great.
MIR. Parnell must eventually yield to the
will of majority of ths nationalist iu
parliament. A ajority Of them have pro-
uounced aga nsU him-haye, in fact, elected
a new leader. IL is not probable that they
will recede from the position they have
taken, and 1t is folly. therefore. for Parnell
to insist on retaining the leadership His
course promises only one result, and thai is
the ruin Of his party. With his party di-

a Contraction of Credit


Some Of the ablest of the fnanciers in
New York say that il is not a lack OF money
which causes the present money strlngency,
but contraction of credit There is, they
say, fully $50 900, 900 more in the country
now than there was year ago, and money
IS being disbursed in large amounts by the
treasury all the time and other large
amounts are coming into the country for
cotton and other articles exported But
where is the money!
prominent New York financier said on
Monday that all the banks were boarding
money for the reason that they were afraid
they would have trouble if there should be
money panic. He said that a banker of a
western town told him only q few days ago
confidently that he had SIS, 900 more than
his legal reserve locked up, and that he In
tended to hold on to it until confidence was
restored. Doubtless bankers all over the
country have done just what this western
banker has.
Russell Sage says that with the rate of
exchange at point which permits gold
shipments to this country, money ought to
be great deal easier in very short time.
and 1t will be easier If those who have the
money will permit it TO go into general cir
culation. Comparatively little OF the
money that was in the country
six months ago has gone out of it,
and in that time the treasury has
disbursed nearly 500 1000, 900. and 500, O0O,-
coo more must have come into the country in
Daymept for cotton and other oroduntS
Those, Therefore e, who say that the money
stringency is due to contraction Of credit
rather than TO a lack of the circulating
medium do not appear to be very far from
right

The Whitfield Insurance Bill

MIR. Thomas, the secretary of the South
ern Mutual Insurance Company, has writ
ten a letter to Representative Merton. cf
Clarke county. asking him to oppose the
Whitfield bill, the purpose OF which is to
break up the insurance pool. The Southern
Mutual, not being member Of the South
eastern Tariff Association, and, hence, not
in the pool, Mr.. Thomas, it is claimed,
speaks as DISTINGUISHED party.
But as matter of fact, is not the South
ern Mutual interested in having the pool
malntainedl AS long as the pool exists the
Southern Mutual has virtually no competi-
ton. The pool fixes the insurance rates
throughout the state for the companies III
the association, and there is nothing to pre-
vent the Southern Mutual from getting
these Rates. 1t is true it can charge less
rates if it wants 70, but, as there is no COM
petition in rates, there is nothing to cause it
to do SO. The pool, therefore, is just as
much benefit TO the Southern Mutual as it
is to any company in the tariff association.
Mr.. Thomas says that extravagant profits
are not made by Insurance companies doing
business in Georgia. According TO his state
ment there are hfty-three OF these compa-
MES, and last year their net profits amounted
to S2i6, 66S OF this sum the Southern Mu-
tual received sic, 900, and the other fifty
two companies received 1923, S9l. The
profits of the Southern Mutual, Mr.. Thomas
says, were returned to its patrons, and that.
therefore, the entire amount of profits paid
by the people of Georgia TO the insurance
companies was only Sl29,S 1891.
Mr.. Thomas points out that any insur-
ance company that desires to can do bust
ness in Georgia. That is very true, but
there are comparatively few companies that
care to deposit with the state S25, 900 in Sc
curities, and that company must do before
it can take risks in Georgia. If the legisla-
tIre would repeal the law requiring de-
post many other companies would compete
for Georgia's business, and the result of the
competition would be lower rates

Whenever you want anything original
and really picturesque in the way of an
idea always apply to a granger He is
sure to have something startling. Senator
Peake has introduced in she South Carolina
legislature resolution providing that ali
mail trains passing through that state shall
stop at every station. Whether it shall
wait for each citizen in turn to ask for his
mail, and also for such citizens as can be
seen coming, but didn't arrive on time, is
not stated. Nor does it prescribe how long
train shall stay when it has no mail for
that station. Thus the bill is shown to be
somewhat defective.
