This country's Savings.

From the New York Tribune (Rep).
More than ten years ago it was computed
by statistlcians of distraction that the yearly
savings of this nation exceeded those of
Great Britain, Germany and France com
blned. Now il would assuredly be safe to say
that the combined savings of all the foreign
nations represented In the naval display
would not equal those of the United States
alone. And in these days savings mean
power whether in peace or in war

The story that Capt. Wiltse. late of the
cruiser Boston, the officer who raised the
flag at Honolulu, died of a broken heart
because the flag was pulled down, is posi-

been very patriotic man, and all that.
But man who had served in the navy

lesson OF obedience 10 superior orders

The recent election for a congressman
in Henry Cabot Lodges old district, in
Massachusetts, resulted in plurality of IA
votes for the democratic candidate
Under the Massachusetts law a defeated
candidate has a right to demand a re-
count Of the votes. And in this instance
the beaten man has made the demand In
consequence, there will be new footing
up of totals and new declaration that
the democrat has been elected. For there
is nothing to indicate that there was an
error in the former count The repub-

something might turn up in his favor.

The South Carolina liquor dealers, to
make winning fight against the gov
ernor, might get in debt to parties out
side of the state, who would then have
the United States courts appoint receiv-
ers for the various saloons. The gov
ernor would hardly be apt to interfere
with property in the hands of the federal
courts. He had enough of that kind of
business in the railroad tax cases.

The rumor that ex-GOv. d. II. Cham
berlain Of South Carolina will stand as a
democratic candidate against Gov. Till
man in the next state campaign is hardly
more than a rumor Mr.. Chamberlain
has been ''mugwump' in national poll
tics for ten years or so and is one of the
best business men in the state He could
command a majority of the black vote
because of his former Affiliations, proba-
bly, But those very former affiliations
would prevent the whites voting for him.
He succeeded Franklin J. Moses as gov
ernor of South Carolina at a time when
the state was in the power of bloodsuck-
ers from the north, and the fact that he
was associated with that band of robbers.
Notwithstanding that he kept his own
skirts clear, will never be forgotten by
the people. Ex-Gov. Chamberlain is
highly esteemed in South Carolina as a
business man, a lawyer and a scholar.
But, even if he would consent to run for
Office, he could hardly be elected.
1t would be interesting to know the
source of the reports that the Austrian
government would not receive Max Judd
as American consul general at Vienna on
accounto of his race and religion. 1t APP
pears pretty well established now that
Austria has never minated that he
would not be an acceptable person. But
the original reports said that no less a
person than Count Kalnoky, the Austrian
premier, had voiced the governments
objection. Now, who is responsible for
those reports, an enemy of the Democratic
party or an enemy of the Jewish racer Or
was it an enemy of both a member of the
Union League Club, of New York, for in

solicitor Of that district at once, and push
the search for the murderers Three
white men who are suspected have been
IN Jail at Marshall ever since few days
after the crime was committed. Cover
