10 Divide the Georgia Democracy.

There are reports floating about the
state to the effect that a movement is con-
templated having for its object the divid-
ing of the Democratic party of this state
into two factions in the next state cam
paign, one favoring Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration and the other opposing it,
the former to be led by Mr.. Hoke Smith,
Secretary of the Interior, and the other
by ex-Speaker Crisp. According to the
reports one of the Atlanta papers will
champion the cause of Secretary Smith
and another the cause of Judge Crisp. 1t is
not difficult matter to determine which
paper will be Mr. Smiths organ and
which Judge Crisp's, if the alleged move
ment should materialize.
The reason that an Observation-Disclosures
movement is likely to be started is said
TO be the recognition Of Mr.. Smith by the
President as the leader of the Democratic
party of Georgia, and the disposition of
Mr. Smith to play the part of dictator
in state matters.
No doubt much of the soreness felt by
certain politicians, because of the sudden
elevation of Mr.. Smith over the heads of
more prominent Georgians, still exists,
and it is apparent that there is a great
deal of restlessness among certain of Mr..
Smiths opponents, because of their wan
ing influence with the smaller politicians,
particularly with the Il tickle you and
you tickle me" class.
In such a movement as outlined the OPP
pOnents of Mr.. Smith have very little, if
anything, to lose, as they have lost about
everything already, and something, pos
sibly to gain. They hope probably that
by getting the democracy into two hostile
camps that will attract attention by their
contests, some of the late Atlanta re-
gency will be able to regain the positions
they have lost. 1t is pretty certain that
neither Mr.. Smith nor Mr. Crisp will
countenance any movement to divide the
democracy of the state into factions

what Action WIN China rakeP


The supreme cour., having decided th-
/ the Chinese exclusion ctis constitutional,
there is naturally considerable spccula-
tou as to what course the Chinese gov
eminent VIII take in respect to Americans
who are residents Of China. This coun-
tly cannot delay any longer the enforce
mlut of the law, one provision of which
requires that Cinnamon who fail TO regis
( ter for the purpose of Identification shall
/ be sent back to their native land. The
/ government did not enforce the law as
soon as it went into effect, preferrjng to
/ have its constitutionality tested, but it
! has no excuse now for not enforcing it..
! As soon as the enforcement of it is begun
China, in all probability, will announce
| her policy relative to American
merchants and missionaries in her
territory. Those who are well
informed in regard to the sentiment in
! China concerning the exclusion act give
it as their opinion that China will retail
ate by sending back to this country the
Americans who are residents there.
1t is stated that Ii Hung Chang, who is
regarded as the greatest statesman in
China, has hesitated for long time to
advise a retaliatorY measure, but that he
has now about made up his mind that if
China is to sustain her dignity and honor
as a nation no other course is left open to
her.
American residents in China are greatly
alarmed over the present situation of af-
fairs Very many of them have large

leave the country without suffering
serious pecuniary loss. The missionaries
also would regret having to leave. Nearly
all they have accomplished in their years
of labor would be lost. The schools and
churches they have established would
have to be abandoned, unless a concession
in their favor were made, and those
Chinese who have become Christians
would in most instances, return to the re
ligion of their fathers
There are about 100000 Chinese in this
country and only few hundred have
complied with the law. The sending back
to China those of them who come within
the provisions of the act would
be great and costly undertaking. No
doubt thousands of those who have here
tofore refused to register will do so
now, but the great majority, probably,
will wait to see what the next step of the
government will be. 1t is not improbable
that they hope that China will announce
a retaliatory policy at once, and that the
effect of it will be to cause this govern
ment to hesitate to begin deporting Chi

a Use for the CARRIER Snake.


Buck" Bufore, the game-keeper at Turtle
lake, is a good-natured individual with a fund
of interesting stories, and his coming to the
city occasionally is always source Of amuse-
ment 70 the club members, says the Detroit
free Press He spent yesterday here, and
during the afternoon was talking with some
sportSmen about certain dogs. One of the
party remarked that dog in question was all
right, except that he had goitre or bunch on
ms neck. Then came a discussion on curing
TINS glandular swelling in dogs and their
liability to transmit II to their progeny
BUCK" claimed that here was as much
chance as in any other branch OF the animal
kingdom and strengthened his argument with
the assertion that he used to have a bunch on
his neck as big as his fist, several of his
brothers and sisters being similarly afflicted.
How did you get rid of it?" asked one of
the party.
90 with garter snake" was the RESPONSE.
with garter snake?" came the incred-
ulous query.
Yes, with a garter snake" replied Buck -
where have you fellows been all these years
why, that's the Oldest cure there is for the
trouble. An Indian told me Of 1t. and caught
garter snake, and, taking hold of his head
IN one hand and his tail in the other drew
him across my neck three times. Then let
the snake go, and the swelling began to go
down at once. 1t killed the snake"
Killed him2"
Yes, it always kills them, so the Indians
told me. Say, there's another use you can
cure all hollow"
"How's that. 'Buck'?"
Why, garter snakes will stop man from
drinking quicker than anything else. If a
man wants to see what he is putting inside of
himself when he is drinking whisky, let him
take saucerful of whisky and drag a garter
snake through it twice 1t will kill the snake
and then you take teaspoonful of the liquor
ana put 1t in glass, pouring out a comfort
able drink of whisky with it. Drink this, and
II bet my life man will never take another
drink to his dying day."

Ell. LoweIl,s Question.

A few years before the death of James Rus
sell Lowell, says the Boston Herald, he wrote
poem which he was to read upon a certain
public occasion. Naturally the newspapers
desired to secure the copy. Mr. H., who was
then and is yet engaged upon a Boston daily
newspaper, was detailed by his managing
editor to call upon Mr.. Lowell and secure, il
possible, the much desired poem. After a
great deal of importantly from the newspaper
man, Mr.. Lowell said:
Let me ask you question frankly, man to
man, and if then you decide that I ought to
give you the poem, promise you I will. II
you knew needed 5000 you would not ask me
to give it to you. l know that perfectly we'll.
But that is just what you are asking me. 1
have a market for my poem in the Atlantic
Monthly, provided they have the opportunity
of first publishing it, If it is first printed in the
daily newspapers of this country, of course it
is no use for magazine. Now, then, tell
you frankly, l do need the $500 and / ask you
the question: Shall l give you the poem on
your request or shall keep it for the maya
Zine?'
The newspaper man decided promptly, and
the poet was not deprived of his 500.

In an interview with Chicago reporter
two or three days ago .Zimri Dwiggins,
the "kiter" of banks, said that his trust
plan of establishing country banks had
been examined and indorsed by Senator
John Sherman. 1t was regarded as re
markable that man of Senator Sher-
mans ability and reputation should have
indorsed scheme by which dozens of
banks were created without any increase
of capital, so a reporter called on him IN
New York to learn some of the inner
workings of the scheme. THE whole
story is an outrageous falsehood, " said
the senator. Il never heard Of Dwiggins
or Of his plan until his failure" So it
appears that Mr. Dwiggins, besides
Exiting" his money, has been dauying
with the truth.

The Nan Who Never swears.

T. G. Harbaugh in Cincinnati Tribune.
I've often wondered how he feels
When trouble comes his way,
When everything goes wrong, and clouds
Obscure his sunny.day;
For instance, when gust of wind
Takes off the tile he wears,
wonder what he thinks about,
The man that never swears?
Or when to make business trip
He hastens through the rain,
And gains the station just in time
To miss tire morning train,
How does he feel as In the west
The express disappears?
wonder If he thinks bad words,
The man that neveT&swears2
The world is full of trying scenes,
No matter where we go;
The truly good are tempted sore,
AS you, perhaps, may know;
And when find him vexed and mad
My sympathy he shares,
For imagine how he feels.
The man that never swears.

At last advices the republicans were
claiming a majority in the Rhode Island
legislature. But there was doubt about
several republicans being able to hold
their seats. If they should be unseated,
thereby giving the democrats control, the
republican Senate would refuse to sit
with the House, and a hold-over state gov
eminent would be the result. As an
illustration of the uncertainty of politics,
Rhode Island stands at the head of the
list.

Some civil War Figures.

In an article entitled what Did the
Civil War Cost?" the New York Sun pre-
sents some interesting figures, showing
the number of men killed in battle dur
ing the civil war, the number who died
from wounds and disease, the cost of the
war and the amount paid for interest and
pensions up to the present time.
The statement has been made fire.
quently that the number of men the north
lost in the war was more than 10000
This statement, it seems, is wide of the
truth. According to the Suns figures the
number of officers and men killed in bat
tie in all the union armies was not
much more than 10000 The
number who died from wounds during
the war period was about IS, 900, and the
number who died from disease contracted
while in the service. and from diseases
that would have attacked them had they
not taken part in the war was not far
from 1885, 900. To the foregoing NAV be
added "a 900, who disappeared and were
never accounted for, making total of
100000. This number is very far from
the 100000 supposed to have been killed
by bullets and disease.
The actual war expenditures for the
four years, from June 30, 1861, to June 30,
1865, were So, 34S, 372, 1904 These figures
include, of course, what it would
have cost to support the
government if there had been
no war. 1t is estimated that the
cost of running the government would
have been S272, 1921, ISL. This sum deducted
from the total expenditures Of the four
years leaves 50, IA 975, 697, as the cost of
the war to the north. But the amounts
paid in bounties by the different states
ought to be taken into account. This
amount is placed at S2s5, 041 ,12S There
was also expended many millions by the
sanitary commission, the Christian com
mission and other societies There was
expended in this way about $4,000, COO. II
is apparent therefore that the actual out
lay in money was not much less than So
50O,OOO,OO0
Since the war, besides paying the
greater part of the principal of the debt
there has been paid in interest 81, 355, 829,-
1872. The interest paid in 1867 was Slab
,592. The interest that will have to be
paid this year is only about 500, 000, 900
The reduction has been remarkable
There has been paid to pensioners of
the civil war up to the present time
81, 43l, ) 1913, 800. In 1867 the pension charge
was only 500, 1886, $50 This year it is
STAG, 737, $50. The increase in the pension
charge has been greater than the decrease
in the interest charge Had it not been
for the euOrmOuS amount arr,., mi M
for pensions the national debt would have
been paid long ago. The foregoing figures
represent such immense sums of money
that the mind cannot grasp the full sig
niticanCe of them.
