The idea which apparently obtains in
certain quarters that it is good policy to
chronicle the political opinions Of Mr..
Thomas E. Watson, in order that the
democracy may be put on it's guard
against future dangers, is decidedly harm
full when put into practice. Left to him
self, or to the papers of his own peculiar
political beliefs, Mr.. Watson would soon
cease to exist as q disturbing factor in
Georgia politics. But, If he should con-
tinue to be exploited in lengthy interviews
and made to pose as a person Of impor-
lance, he would again become a menace to
the peace and good government the state Is
now enjoying, Mr.. Watson's opinions are
not news; his political heresies are not
matters of public interest until they are
scattered broadcast and dignlHed by COM
ment and opposition. The better way to
treat Mr.. Watson would be to leave him
severely alone He is on the verge of OBJ
SECURITY now. All that the democrats have
to do is to live up TO their promises to the
people, and Mr.. Watson will never be heard
from again as a political power. That is,
provided he is not lugged back into promi-
hence by misguided newspapers.

.1nnl,atinn Senators.

A good many of the senators have an
| idea that they ought to have a trip some
1 whore during the summer at the expense OF
the government, aud 80 they get up little
investigating parties which cost anywhere
! from s.. 600 TO $40, 900 each. In the Senate
on Monday Senator Sherman told the sena-
tors that the country was getting pretty
| tired of paying the expenses or the pleasure
parties which seldom or never result in any
benefit to anybody, except those pGrticipat
ing in them.
A half dozen or more of these junketing
parties have been proposed for this summer.
One committee wants to go out west some
where and find out how the Indians are
getting along; another wants to 60 30 the
Pacific coast to select a harbor, and still
another wants to travel over the country
and find out whether the interstate COM
merce law is being properly enforced.
There are other junketing parties pro-
posed. The foregoing, however, show the
character of them.
In speaking OF these investigating COM
mittees and the money wasted by them,
Senator Sherman said that he recalled only
one such committee that had made report
that was Of any practical value. There
may have been others, but he could not re-
member them.
1t has not been many years since such
committees were practically unknown. Now
the amount set apart for contingent ex-
penses is not half enough to meet the de-
mands OF them. And the worst of it is that
this practice Of junketing at the expense of
the public is growing apace. senator
feels that he is not getting his share of the
good things II he is not put on a committee
to go somewhere and investigate some
thing.
In speaking of the special committee TO
investigate Indian affairs Senator Sher-
man in bis remarks on Monday said; For
two years this committee has been investi-
eating the Identical affairs they are now
called on to investigate. Whether it has
made any report l do not know, but it
seems to me that the time has come when
the Senate ought TO hesitate in authorizing
such Investigations, and should insist upon
it that none should bs authorized to draw
upon the funds of the treasury from money
appropriated for this purpose unless there
is public demand for the Investigations
and some public usefulness to come out of
them.
1t is matter of wonder that senator's
who are supposed to be watchful of public
expenditures. and who are charged with the
duty of protecting the public interests.
should organize pleasure parties to be paid
for out Of the treasury, under the guise of
conducting an investigation that does not
promise to be of any benefit to any body.
The control of the Senate has just passed
to the democrats, and it should be marked
by a return TO economical methods. The
President purposes to administer the gov
eminent economically, aud congress, in it's
expenditures should follow his example.

Chicago Society Aroused.

Mr. Ward MoAllister has given deadly
offense 60 Chicago society by an article
which he wrote and which was published in
a New York paper a few days ago. The
swells of the Windy city are, metaphor
ically speaking, frothing at the mouth.
Among other things Mr.. MoAllister, in
speaking of the superiority of New York
society to that of Chicago, said: The con-
tact Of New York and Chicago society
during the worlds fair cannot help but open
the eyes of our western natives to our
superiority. After this year, when the best
society of both cities have met and enter
tanned each other, ChicaEoans will feel they
will not be out OF place at Newport"
Another thing that appeared in Mr.. Nc
Allister's article was this: THE society of
Chicago is behind that Of New York, but
there is no reason why it should not eventu-
ally catch up
The patronizing way in which Mr. Me-
Allster talks Of Chioago's oldest and best
makes the society leaders OF that city feel
I as if they would like to do Mr.. McAllister a
personal injury. They will have chance
to get even with him, however. When he
visits the worlds fair they will probably
insist upon taking him to see their hog
Strengthening establishments and lard fac
tories. There is nothing like them in New
York, and Chicagos four hundred will
have the satisfaction of making him
envious. If that doesn't satisfy them
they might induce him to imbibe freely of
Chicago's fever-breeding drinking water.
There are plenty Of ways to make him
regret iusinuating that the smart set of
Chicago doesn't compare with that Of New
York They will show him that instead of
being likely to eventually catch up with
New York society they are already abreast
of it,

Richmond Terminal Rumors.

Very little reliance is to be placed upon
the rumors that are constantly being put
into circulation in respect to the relation of
Drexel, Morgan Il Co to the Richmond
Terminal properties. A day or two ago it
was stated in the dispatches that the reason
the announcement that Drexel, Morgan e.
Co. had undertaken the reorganization of
the Richmond Terminal had been DELAYED
was that there were some complications in
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia system that had to
be removed before anything could
be done toward reorganization, but that
those complications having been adjusted
the way was clear for beginning the " ork.
1t turns out, however, that the foregoing
statement was only one Of many other
rumors. Inquiry at the banking house of
Drexel, Morgan u Co. disclosed the thatfaot
there had been no 'recent change in the
Richmond Terminal situation 1t is not
even positively known that the banking
house in question will undertake to reorgan-
ize the Richmond Terminal properties. It
certainly will not except upon terms die
tated by itself, and those terms are certain
to DO extremely favorable to Its own inter.
ests.
That all the properties in the Richmond
Terminal system are in a bad way there is
no doubt, and it is also certain that the task
of recognizing them will be difficult one.
doubtless all of them will have to be sold.
There is therefore a chance for whoever or
ganizes them and puts them in good finan-
cial condition to make a great deal of
money. 1t will not be safe to assume, how
ever, that the work Of reorganization will
be undertaken by Drexel. Morgan & Co.

submarine photography.

A short time ago Mr.. Louis Bcuton
brought himself to the knowledg e sof
scientific naturalists by undertaking. an
exploring tour of the Red sea, from
which he brought back strange and
curious collection of fish and shells, en-
bracing several specimens entirely I'M
known. Continuing his researches on
the coast of France, Mr. Bouton as

struck with the wonderful beauty Of
submarine landscapes and resolved to
photograph what he could, since sim
pie description would SAVIOR too much of
an overvivid imagination.
At first he worked in shallow water
with n watertight apparatus, and the
clearness of the water allowed him suf-
fcient light to sensitize the plates. But
proportionally as the water deepened
clearness diminished, and the motion Of
the waves clouded his proofs. Then the
young scientist conceived the idea of
utilizing magnesium in an apparatus of
his own invention. This apparatus con-

On the flame of the lamp, by means of

magnesium is thrown, faring as often as
view is taken. The barrel is pierced
with holes on the lower side in such
manner that as the oxygen di1ninishes

equilibrium between external and in

Animal Fertilizers.

A dead animal of any kind, fish, fowl
or beast, buried near the roots of a fruit
or other tree, will cause O wonderful
growth. The animal substance does not
pass into the vegetable, but being nat
ural and a powerful generator of cleo
tricity increases the current that passes
from the atmosphere to the earth,
and thereby larger quantity of sup

Historic Houses of Washington.

To most visitors Washington is only
the seat Of government, and interesting
merely because of the department. build
ings, the White House and the capitol.
Having seen these, with the National
museum and the Smithsonian institu-
ton, tourists go away content. They
do not pause to think that nearly all the
great men of the nation have at one time
or another had homes at the capitol, and
have here done very large share of the
work that has made them famous.
Yet 80 true is this that no other city
on this continent is SO rich in historical
associations, and these associations are
in the homes Of the capital. They clus-

Bicycle Laws In Zurich.

A correspondent at Zurich, Switzer-
land, gives q translation from the daily
paper of the citys laws concerning hi
cycling. Bicycling is only allowed upon
written permission issued to competent
riders. This permission must be carried
by the rider. 1t contains his name, oc-
cupation, date Of birth, place of nativity
and address, and it costs francs year.
Racing is forbidden, and in narrow
streets the rider must dismount. Spe-
cial stress is laid upon the speed of the
machine.
On crowded streets, turning corners,
the rider must go slow. He must not
ride without using the handles of his
machine to steer by. He must ring his
bell in ample time, and if that is not
needed he must politely warn the pedes-
trian. Care must be taken not to worry
or brighten the foot passenger. On sim
gle seated bicycle not more than one per-
son may sit. More than two bicycles are
not permitted to ride abreast. On holt
days, when the streets are crowded. hi
cycling is not permitted at all.
On the other hand, the bicycle shares
with other vehicles the privileges of the
road. Should the rider be the cause of
an accident to pedestrian he must dis
mount, render what assistance lies in
his power and give his name and address
to an officer, together with written re-
