Mr.. Nathaniel Paige, of Washington,
says the hotel rates of the present day
are relics of war times. The rates, "
says he, ''wcre raised during the war to
meet the advance in other things. The
war debt is nearly paid off, and the prices
for all the necessities and even luxuries
of existence have long ago fallen to their
normal level. But the hotels still main
tain war prices, and 1 believe they will
be forced to come down to the old rates
in the near future" He looks for a re-
duction Of at least 25 per cent. during the
next year or two. Before the war no
hotel thought of charging a guest over
81 80 or 50 day for the best accommoda-
tions," says Mr.. Paige They made
money then, and there is no reason why
they could not do the same to-day"
While it would be gratifying TO the man
of moderate income to know that enter
taiument at the Arlington at Washington.
or the Waldorf at New York, or Palmer
at Chicago, or the Ponce de Leon at St.
Augustine, or the De Soto at Savannah
could be had for 81 so a day, there is
little prospect of the rates of such houses
touching that figure. Because that rate
obtained at the best houses before the
war is no reason why it should prevail
now. Hotel keeping has hardly more
than kept pace with the progress of the
past thirty years. Guests probably demand
finer chambers, more elaborate menus
and more costly accessories now than
they did before the war, and as long as

or more day, so long will high-priced
hotels continue. At the same time the
earth is dotted with hotels that serve
frst-class entertainment for 50 so to 50 a
day.

The Terminal Reorganization.

1t begins to look as if Drexel, Morgan
& Co. would succeed in recognizing the
Richmond Terminal Company. When it
was announced that they had under
taken its reorganization it was thought
by many that they would meet with OBJ
stacles they could not overcome. There
seems to be very little opposition, how
ever to the reorganization scheme. The
objections raised by the bondholders of
the Georgia Pacific and one or two other
companies have been overcome, and unless
difficulties far more serious than any of
those that have yet been encountered are
presented, the reorganization of the sys-
TEN will, in all probability, be effected
1t is announced that over 80 per cent.
of the Richmond Terminal securities
have been deposited, and that the seturi-
ties of the Richmond and Danville and
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
are being received in encouraging guam
titles
The reorganization is being pushed Wig
orously. Drexel, Morgan & Co. seem to
be acting in accordance with the convic-
ton that delays are dangerous, and that
success depends largely upon doing the
work quickly.
1t is stated that according to the pro
gramme mapped out MIR Samuel Spencer
viii take the place OF Mr.. Foster as one
OF the receivers of the Richmond and
Danville, and that G. M McGhee will be
made one of the receivers of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia.
If decree of sale is rendered by MIR.
Justice jackson in the Central railroad
case when he comes here on June 26. the
reorganization of the Central will also be
pushed forward vigorously. In that event
it is probable that all the railroads that
were wrecked in the Richmond Terminal
combination will be put on firm finan-
cial basis within very few months.
Such a condition of affairs is very much
to be desired. Tho progress of the south
is greatly retarded by having so large a
part of her railroads in financial trouble.
The reorganization of her wrecked roads
will have a great and immediate effect
for good upon her material condition.

Erect of the sherman Law.


Evidently the Sherman act, by unsettling
confidence. tptiicts vast hurt upon the coun-
try. The $50 O00.000 Of bullion treasury notes
issued under the act have not benefited any
body but the mine owner. Prosperity has not
come in consequence of this effort to make
money plentiful" but fear, contraction of
credit and widespread loss In other words
the sherman act has failed to do what was
promised for it, and its repeal is imperative.

A Borden murder story that may or
may not amount to much comes from
Newark, n. J. a barber there SAYS that
one afternoon last fall man came into
his place and, after being shaved and
having his hair cut, asked for pen and
paper. He wrote several letters. One of
them apparently did not suit him, as he
crushed it and threw it into a waste bas-
ket. When the man had gone the barber
got out the rejected manuscript and read
it. 1t was written in a hand disguised to
look like a womau's, and was addressed
to the mayor of Fall River. 1t read: Il
murdered Mrs. Borden. did ii out of re-
venge. 1t is no use trying to catch me;
am disguised so you would not know me. .,
The probabilities are that the barber's
story is as bodiless as a dash of his lather;
still the murder of the Bordens is such a
black mystery that anything and every
thing that might possibly lead tosan ex-
PLANTATION is of public interest.

The Rieht Course Adopted.

Public sentiment will uphold the county
commissioners who adopted the resolu-
ton at the commissioners meeting
Wednesday to take the advice of a disin-
terested engineer as to whether certain
county work is being done properly and
economically These commissioners con-
stitute the majority of the board and they
believe the work that is being done is
necessary work, and that the county
engineer is doing it as economically as it
is possible to do it, Notwithstanding the
fact that minority of the board do not
agree with them. But not being en-
gineers, and realizing that they are the
representatives of the people and that the
people are entitled to have their money
spent to the best advantage they have so
far yielded to the views of the minority
as to provide for an investigation by a
wholly disinterested engineer.
The report of the engineer who may be
asked to make the investigation will show
whether they are right or not. 1t will
also satisfy the public, because it will be
evidence that there is a sincere desire
to do what is for the best interests of the
county duu JlA6 tdA S6ISs III CdIIillS lOE
an investigation by an expert, the ma
jority show confidence in their own views
and admit the sincerity of the minority.
During the current week we have seen
two authoritative public statements con
corning the persistent rupee" and the
effect of free coinage upon the value of
silver in India In the House of Com
mons on Tuesday the Rt Hon Henry
| Chaplin, president of the board of agri-
culture in the late Salisbury administra-
| ton, stated that 1.-The apparent indiffer-
ence of the home government to the
gravity of the silver crisis" in
India had been very exasperat-
ing to the natives, and that he
understood it. to be the purpose of the
/ Herschell committee to allow the Indian
/ government to sell rupees during the sus-
! pension of free coinage to natives wanting
them at the rateof shilling 4 pence, which
! is equivalent to a fraction over 32 cents in
/ American money. The face value of the
rupee is equal to about 4S cents in our
money. AS to the effect of free coinage,
! Mr.. Metah, Bombay merchant visiting
the worlds fair, said to New York Times
reporter: Zone result has been that the
silver in India has deprecated While
England uses the gold standard, the
money in India steadily falls in value.
| Formerly the silver rupee was worth one
tenth of a pound sterling. Now it re-
quires from l6 to II rupees to equal a
! pound Silver is coined in India at the
rate OF about 10000, 900 rupees year, 1
believe" These facts are respectfully
j submitted 10 those of our Georgia CON
temporaries who may imagine that free
silver coinage would be a good thing for
the United States, becausein India, under
free coinage, they say "the rupee has
never deprecated" and is las good as
gold"

The coinage of the Columbian souvenir
quarter-dollar for the woman's depart
ment of the worlds fair has been begun
at the Philadelphia mint. The diverse
side represents the head of Queen Isa-
bella Of Spain wearing the crown of Cas-
tile, while on the reverse side is a woman
kneeling by the side of a distaff. This is
probably the first timea crown has ever
appeared on any United States coin
However, the pieces are said to be very
pretty; much prettier than the Columbian
half-doliars. And it is to be hoped the
women will find a much better demand
for them than there has yet bcen for the
half dollar pieces The price for the
quarter-dolar pieces, it is believed. will
be 80 cents, though 81 each has already
been bid for several thousand of the first
to be coined.

The weather sharps at Washington
have coined new word, "sizzard." 1t
means nothing, but is employed in de-
scribing condition of weather precisely
the opposite OF the blizzard A "sizzard"
is hot wave; period of calm during
which the rays of the sun are sufficiently
ardent to draw tar out of a cobblestone
and the person who inadvertently
breathes through his open mouth runs the
risk of scorching lung. The sharps tell
us that ''sizzards' are frequently born in
Dakota, the home of billiards., and come
floating down on US in summer just as
their cold-blooded relatives do in winter
