The Belgian cashier who stole 81. 500 900
from financial institution in Brussels
not long ago chose badly in selecting a
place in which to do his stealing. He
should have come to this county and
made his raid on the cash in the state
OF South Dakota. In that state, when
treasurer steals great sum Of money.
they give him just a few months in iail
the bigger the pile. the fewer the
months it seems. Had the Belgian made
his $4,000 raid in that state they might
not have put him in jail at all.

thing has been unalterably settled by

is that Senator German will not be the
democratic candidate for the presidency.

How Great britain Grows.

Great Britain grows by grabbing the ter
ritory of weak nations. When diplomacy
and bull-dozing fails she resorts to force.
A history of her possessions in different
parts Of the world would be history OF
robbery. Her land grabbing practice is
carried on, as a rule. so quietly that it
only occasionally attracts the attention
of other governments.
Her efforts to grab a part of the terri
tory of Venezuela has called forth a pro
test from this country. The basis of the
protest is the Monroe doctrine, which. in
substance, is that the United States
would not regard with unconcern the eff
fort of any European power to acquire
by force the territory, or threaten the ex-
istence Of any American republic.
In an informal talk in Philadelphia
few days ago ex-senator Edmonds called
attention to the gradual growth Of Brit
ish possessions in Honduras and Vene-
zuela. 1t has not been so very long since
British territory in Honduras was insig-
nificant BY gradual encroachments it
has now become more than 1000 square
miles In 1857 British Guinea comprised
only few small towns. with no clearly
defined boundary on the border toward
Venezuela. In 1876 England had extended
her boundary until she claimed jurisdic-
ton over 76,OoO square miles, and in 1892
she had extended her rule over 1896
square miles. If let alone, she would
soon claim the whole of Venezuela, in all
probability.
With such a record as this in South
America, it is not to be wondered at that
the United States have protested against
further encroachment by England upon
Venezuelan territory, and respectfully,
but firmly, asked that country to submit
the question of the boundary between
her possessions and Venezuela to arbitra-
ton. The time has come to put stop
to Englands aggressiveness in South
America. The United States must stand
by the position they have taken. or admit
that the Monroe doctrine amounts to
nothing.

Georgin DaN.

To-day ought to be, and doubtless will
be, the biggest day of the Cotton States
and International Exposition 1t is Geor-
gia day and remarkably low rates are
made by all the railroads of the state
in order to give the people of the state
chance to see the exposition. They
ought to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity that is presented to them. The
great majority Of them probably will
never again have brought within their
reach so magnificent a collection Of the
industrial. agricultural and mineral prod
ucts OF the state, the south and the world
The Cotton States and International Elk
position is something those who see it
will talk about for years to come They
will tell their children of it and many
events viii be dated from it.
1t is not often that the people of the
rural districts have a chance to see so
many evidences Of the worlds progress
and prosperity, and If they fail to visit
the fair they will never cease to regret
1t. A day at the exposition will give
them something interesting to talk about
for years.
No doubt many people feel they can
not afford the expense and there are
undoubtedly many who cannot The
great majority, however, can and they
ought not to let a few dollars stand in
the way Of an excursion that will be
a source of both pleasure and profit.
Only few Georgians know much about
their own state, and they will never
know much about it if they remain al
ways at home. At the exposition they
can learn more of their state and the
adjacent states. than they could find
out in years by reading books.
The fair is a Georgia institution, and
that is one reason why Georgia day
should be notable one. There ought
to be $4,000 visitors inside the exposition
gates to-day.

a new woman municipal reformer has
raised her voice in Cincinnati. And she
is a reformer from away back. She
wants the city to provide nice. clean sand
bills for the children to play on. and
when that has been done she would have
the city fathers set cuspidors all along
the sidewalks and pass a law command
ing every tobacco chewer or smoker to
eXpectorate in the cuspidors and nowhere
else, under penalty of a heavy fine. That
is as far as she has got at the present
writing. But it goes without saying that
that is not all of her scheme of making
Cincinnati beautiful and clean. Her next
suggestion will probably be that trays for
cigar ashes be attached to the side of
every lamp post and telegraph pole. that
mats bearing the motto, God Bless Our
City" be placed at every street crossing.
and that strangers coming into town
leave their overshoes. hats and canes

What is believed to be the most pow

gether in one spot is the foreign fleet
now in Turkish waters for the purpose

There are nearly sixty ships in the fleet,

powerful fighters afloat. Great Britain
has thirteen ships in the Eastern Medit-
erranean, Italy has six, France and Rus
STA have twelve. All of these are battle
ships. Besides these the several powers
have about twenty-five smaller, but at
the same time powerful, vessels in the
fleet. The difficulty is, however, that all
of the Armenian horrors are in the in

A QUEER ANIMAL.

Tho Australian Duckbill Carries . Sting
In Ono Leg.
Australia certainly holds the palm
for queer and uncouth animals. Chief
among these is thesduckbill, or ornitho-
rhynchus, which Sidney Smith described
as "a kind of mole with webbed feet
and the bill of q duck, which agitated
Sir Joseph Banks and rendered him
miserable from his utter inability to
decide whether it was q bird or a beast. 7"
It was only recently that it was proved
beyond doubt that this curious animal
lays eggs like a bird, though this had
long been reported by travellers. Now
comes the news that it has sting on
its hind leg, capable Of killing by its
poisonous effects. We quote from The
Lancet:
For q long time it was considered to
be quite harmless and destitute of any
weapon of offense, although tho hind
legs Of tho males were armed with a
powerful spur, apparently connected
with a gland. Then the opinion was adj
vanced that this might be a weapon al

sort of hypodermic poison syringe.
Though one set of observers asserted
that this was the case, another set denied
it, and so DR.. Stuart determined, if pos
sible, to solve this question. He received
two independent accounts, which coin
cided perfectly, and from them he con-
cludes that at certain seasons, at all
events, tho secretion is virulently poi
sonous. The mode Of attack is not by
scratching, but by lateral inward move
ments Of the hind legs. Two cases are
reported in dogs One dog was 'stung'
three times, the symptoms much resem-
bling those from bee or hornet poison.
The dog was evidently in great pain and
very drowsy, but there were no tremors,
commissions or staggering. 1t is worthy
Of note that certain immunity seems
obtainable, for tho dog suffered less ON
the second occasion and still less ON the
third. Two cases of men being wounded
are reported, in both of which the ami
mails were irritatcd, ono by being shot
and handled, the other by being handled
only; the symptoms We're the same as
In the dog. No deaths are reported in
