There are two railroads in New England
that are engaged in the milk business.
The New York, New Haven and Hartford,
and the Philadelphia, Reading and New
England each have dairies in Connecticut.
The idea of railroad company selling
milk is but little short of ridiculous.

The Japanese are nothing if not artistic
They are artists before they are fighters
After the battle of Kin-Chow the other
day the japanese troops refused to tear
down from the walls the hundreds of
Chinese banners, blazoned with the blue
dragon on a yellow ground, because their
effect was picturesque. There is probably
not another army in the world that would
consider the artistic beauty of its enc
my's banners just as it had won a clever
victory.

The readers of the Morning News and
other southern newspapers are getting
more and a better quality of Geographic
news since the split in the newsgathering
associations than ever before, and that is
all they care about the fight that is being
waged among the several associations. The
public, however. are interested in the
truth, and that is what they are not get
ting from the Chicago Associated Press.
The officers of that association are tele-
graphing all over the country false or
misleading statements and it is to be re-
GREETED that there are papers that are
usually honest in dealing with public mat
ters that are permitting their columns to
be used to circulate these statements.
If there were no cause in the first in
stance to justify the Southern Associated
Press in severing its relations with the Chi
cago concern, the course pursued by it
since the Southern Associated Press
withdrew from it shows that it is
unsafe to place any reliance upon those
who manage its affairs. Dispatches have
been sent over the country, especially the
west to the effect that the Southern As
ISOLATED Press is going to pieces, when the
facts are that never before in its history
has its finances been in better condition
or its organization stronger Since it de-
clared it's independence of the Chicago As
ISOLATED Press it has lost a paper in Chat
tanooga, Tenn, and one in Columbia, s.
C. Both were expected to withdraw. The
proprietor of the Chattanooga paper has
been ready to quit the southern association
for a year or more, because a few dollars
a week might be saved, and the proprietor
of the Columbia paper was dissatisfied the
whole time he was in the association
These two papers, and a few af-
ternoon papers. which were not
members of the southern associ-
in financial condition to pay for any ex-
tensive Geographic service-are heralded
over the land as members that have quit
the Southern Associated Press and joined
the Chicago Associated Press.
The circulation of such misleading
statements, to use a mild expression, will
not injure the Southern Associated Press.
1t may be a little annoying, however and
that is what Messrs. Lawson and Stone
and their associates intend it shall be.
Those who trust their fortunes to men who
make such mistatements, or indorse them,
will regret having done so when it is too

Beats the Roddv Plan.
Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun Oem)

The Putnam county farmers have
pleged themselves to plant only one-third
of their arabic land in cotton, giving the
rest to other crops. The Sparta Ishmae-
lite says that this will beat the Roddy
trust.

The weather service seems to appreciate
the fact that the people want to do their
Christmas shopping now. Was there ever
a brighter and better day for that pur-
pose than yesterday? And the people took
advantage of it. The stores were crowded
all day and well into the evening. An
hour spent on either of the shopping
streets Of Savannah during this week will
do much toward convincing people that
times are really not as hard as they had
been led to suppose.

Ex-President Harrison may soon find
himself under the necessity of issuing
through the press an open letter to his
"close PERSONAL political friends request
ing them to keep their mouths shut Mr..
D. S. Alexander, formerly the ex-Presi-
dents private secretary, is the latest of the
Indiana mans friends to get himself into
trouble by talking too much. Three or four
days ago he assured an interviewer that
Gen. Harrison positively would not, under
any circumstances, be a candidate for the
republican presidential nomination in 1896
On the following day the New York Press
printed, with double leads. a dispatch from
Indianapolis saying: Nobody has author
ity or is at liberty to speak for Mr.. Har-
rison on the subject of a denomination"
And now Alexander stands discredited.

Tom Watson says Remsen was only
'foolin'." Remsen is the humorist who
asserted that Watson wanted a vindica-
ton at the hands Of the Tenth district
democrats. and would resign Immediately
If they would elect him TO congress. Wat
son waited long enough 10 see how the
people took the proposition before he an
nounced that his funny friend had no au-
thority 10 speak for him. Had the Tenth
district intimated a willingness To choose
the lesser Of two evils and stultify itself
as a part OF a trade to get rid OF the
Watson incubus, Joker Remsen might not
yet have been corrected and the denoue-
ment might have been postponed until
Watson got into congress. Remsen's
"fooln'." however. has been harmless,
and the Tenth district can join Watson
in laughing at the joke.
The talk at the state capital about the
continuation of strained relations be-
tween Gov. Atkinson and certain leading
members of the legislature has probably
very little if any more foundation in fact
than had the story that Speaker Fleming
and President Venable were about TO fight
a duel There may have been some slight
friction between the parties named. but
it never amounted to much and will not
result in either a political or a fsticun
fight.

The French conquest of Madagascar was
accomplished in quick time. The French
troops occupied Tamatave on Dec. 10, and
yesterday our dispatches reported that
the queen had accepted unreserve the
French conditions. The queen and her
husband, the prime minister, had falling
out recently according to the cables The
queen wanted no war; the prime minister
wanted to fight. The queen was probably
the better man" of the two, hence the
submission of the government to the
French demands.
