He had forgotten to go home TO supper
and he knew what was in store for him
when he should finally get there, so just
to be pleasant and entertaining he got
some miniature flags and put them in his
pocket.
John Henry" exclaimed his wife. as he
entered the house, Il should think you
be ashamed of yourself to treat your
wife with so little consideration"
He slowly unrolled his little package of
flags, took out a square red one with a
black square in the center and fastened it
to the mantel.

She drew herself up haughtily. Once or
twice she seemed on the point of speak

turned coldly away. He merely took
down the red flag and replaced it with a
white one with black center.

There was moments silence, and he

He put up a blue flag.

n st. Petersburg dispatch in our for
eign news yesterday stated that the car
objects to the acquisition by Japan of
any of the territory of China. II this
dispatch is authentic, the war between
Japan and China, instead of being near
it's close. may be only on the point of
assuming greater proportions. 1t is not
at all likely that Japan would quietly
submit to any dictation from Russia.
She is just now greatly pulled up with
her own Importance, and would, in all
probability insist upon the terms agreed
to by China, whatever attitude Russia
might assume in the matter.
Russian Interference would be a signal
for the interference of England, and
perhaps Germany and France. In that
event complications might arise that
would cause the original trouble between
China and Japan to be lost sight Of
The dispatches from Japan say that
the peace negotiations have been con
cluded, and that it only remains for the
Chinese commissioner, Ii Hung Chang.
to sign the agreement. He may conclude
not to sign it. 1t is certain he will not
do so if he sees a possibility of avoid
ing a cession of territory to Japan. His
only hope, of course, is the interference
of some one of the European powers. 1t
will be determined in day or two prob
ably If it is not determined already,
whether the war is to end at once or
go on.

women as Voters.

The Daily News Of Denver Col. objects
to the manner in which the better element
Of women of that city ignored their right
TO vote at the recent municipal election,
and with very good reason. For some
cause hundreds of respectable women who
were qualified stayed away from the polls.
On the other hand another element of
the sex fiocked to the polls and deposited
their ballots. These were the vicious and
criminal classes. They had not as much
personal interest in the contest as the
respectable women, but it is said they
were under the influence OF the police,
who ordered them to the polls, where they
voted under the direction of ward heelers.
In some wards this vicious vote is said to
have decided the result.
This incident gives warning of an evil
that would follow woman suffrage else
where. Respectable women would find
scores of reasons for keeping away from
the polls-the objectionableness of a GER
tain candidate, the roughness Of the crowd
at the polling place, the impertinence of
election managers. etc. But the other ele-
ment who care nothing for impertinence
or coarseness and whom the ward heelers
would be able to intimidate with threats
of arrest and imprisonment. might be de-
pended upon to cast their votes every time.
The matter of the vote of vicious women
is one of the perils Of woman suffrage.
In the Denver case there appears to have
been no publication of politics by the
adoption of woman suffrage.

Nero and His Fiddle.

The emperor Nero had good many
faults, among them being that of vanity
says London Judge. He has gained the
reputation of cruelty largely on account
Of the fact that he insisted upon appear
ing in public as an amateur actor.
He also had a great desire to be adj
mired for his play of the violin. and after
rioting in the streets at night with some
of the golden youths of the day, and lead
ing them into various scrapes, he was in
the habit of taking them home to supper
and then giving them some more scrapes
His ambition, however, was to play the
fiddle before large popular audience. but
for a time no suitable opportunity arose.
At last in the tenth year of his reign,
Rome was almost entirely destroyed by
fire, and the whole population was out in
the streets.
AT last" said he, my chance has
come"
And he sailed forth with his fiddle in
one hand and an original composition in
the other,
Having seated himself on the top Of a
pile of smouldering ruins, he struck up a
nocturne in seventeen sharps and five
flats.
But the people did not seem to be
pleased.
Don't look vexed." he called out. Il
am not unfeeling, but 1 have always I'M
derstood that when there has been a fire
the best thing that can be done is to play
on the ruins"

The Industrial committee, while work
ing 10 secure factories for Savannah.
should not overlook the fact that the &C.
velopment Of the agricultural interests
Of the county Is Of vast importance 10
the city. The way 20 develop these inter-
ests Is to improve the roads Drain the
lands and make good roads and there
would soon be very large
farming population In Chatham
county that would help greatly
in building up the city. The Industrial
committee should urge the county COM
missioners 70 give as much attention to
the public roads as they can, and give
it as quickly as possible.
There are two public roads in partic-
ular that could be made TO be OF very great
benefit to the city. One is the Ogeechee
road and the other the Louisville road.
The Ogcechee is the highway that leads
10 Liberty and Bryan counties. Prior 10
the civil war il was planked 10 the
Ogeechee river. and the river was span
ned by a substantial bridge. which was
destroyed when Sherman's army was APP
preaching the city and which has never
been rebuilt. The road. though il has been
repaired frequently. has never been put
in thoroughly good order. If il were
macadamized or shelled and the bridge
across the Ogeechee rebuilt a fine agri-
cultural section OF the country would be-
come quickly covered with productive
farms.
The surest. and. in fact. the only way
to promote the rapid growth Of this part
of the state is to encourage its agricul-
tural interests in every possible way.
Home-seekers will not settle where there
are no means for getting the products
of their farms to market. Make good
roads throughout this county and not only
would it receive a large immigration, but
many people Of Savannah, who now hnc
it difficult to make a living, would move
to the country and become farmers.
In urging the development of agricul-
tural resources of the county we do not
mean that there shall be any less zeal in
behalf of factories. We mean TO say that
we shall offer better inducements to fac
tories when the lands all around ana about
Savannah are under cultivation, because
the cost OF living in Savannah will be
much less then than it is now. The
abundance Of fruits and vegetables we
would have would give us food supplies
in abundance. and in a great variety at
low prices.
Let, then, the industrial committee urge
upon the county commissioners the vital
Importance of building good roads and
pushing the drainage work as vigorously
as possible

In these gladstone spring days the bloom
is on the boomers. Especially is this
the case in Ann Arbor, Mich. a young
woman student at the university there
has been elected from her boarding house
for wearing the bifurcated dress at meal
times. Her landlady said plainly, point
eddy. that the boomers impaired her di-
gestion and gave her insomnia, there
fore the girl would either have to quit
wearing them or quit eating at her table.
With the matter thus squarely before
her the girl concluded to eat. Her friends,
however, were indignant, and vowed they
would get even with the landlady. Now
they are wearing boomers all around her.
Even the boys are wearing them. This
is why they are blooming this sfSlng

Notable For Things Unsaid.
From the Boston Herald Qnd.).

Perhaps the most notable thing about
Gov McKinley's speech at Hartford was
what he omitted to say. There was no lack
OF attention given to the tariff, but the
subject of a sound currency was not men
toned by him, except when he took occa-
sion to remark that no matter what kind
of a currency we have we must have high
protection first in order to restore prosper
ity 1t viii be observed that Gov. McKin-
ley is for McKinleyism first and for a
sound currency afterward-perhaps.

Chicago chemists claim that they have
discovered new compound which pos
sesses sweetening powers in excess of
those possessed by saccharine, which Nas
hitherto been considered the sweetest sub
stance known to chemists The discovery
was accidentally made by a chemist who
was working upon a series derived from
the coal tar products. Candy makers and
druggists who have examined the new
chemical say it will prove valuable in
many ways.

Protesting Against Rising Prices.


Why is it that the free silverites do not
regard with satisfaction the remarkable
rise in the prices of beef. mutton, petro-
leum and some other articles? one of
their great arguments is that free silver
coinage would be followed by a great rise
in prices in almost all kinds of com
modities, and yet some of their newspa-
pers are vigorously protesting against the
rise I'm the price OF beef. They are saying
that the rise in the price of that article
is due almost wholly to a combination of
the three or four great firms that con-
troll the beef output. and they demand
the enforcement of the antitrust laws.
We do not pretend to say whether or
not there is a combination. The charge
that there is meets with a vigorous de-
NAL. It is asserted that the supply of beef
cattle is short, owing to the destruction
of cattle by drought and cold weather,
and to the short corn crop-corn being the
principal food for fattening cattle. These
reasons OF the beef packers may be the
correct ones but whether they are or
not, many of those who are demanding
the free coinage of silver because 1t will
cause prices to rise, are not at all pleased
at the upward movement of the meat
market.
No doubt they would protest just as
vigorously if there should be a great rise
in the price of bread. Still, they are ar
guing that everybody should join in the
demand for free silver coinage in order
to bring about an increase in the price
of wheat, which would, of course, make
1t necessary to increase the price of bread
The price of wheat, however, would
advance greatly If it could be shown that
the wheat crop Of this year will be far be-
low that of last year. 1t would not be
necessary to enact the free coinage of sill
yer to cause 1t to rise.
1t is a pity that the silverites are not
a little more consistent But how is it
possible for them to be consistent when
their chief aim appears to be to find ar
guments in behalf of silver rather than
get al the truth?
1t is as plain as it is possible for any
thing to be that prices of products de-
pend upon the supply and demand. Spec
ulation does sometimes boost up prices
of certain articles, but, in such cases, the
rise is only temporary. Prices fall again
as soon as the sustaining influence of
speculation is removed

An Important investigation.

The experiments that are being made
near Triton, Ga, by Prof. Fernow, for the
purpose of discovering whether the resin
of pine trees cannot be obtained without
destroying the trees, are in the right d.
rection. and 1t is sincerely to be hoped
they will be successful. By cutting boxes
in the trees, in the manner in which the
boxes are now cut, the life of the trees
is destroyed in four or five years. 1t is
asserted that !n France the resin is OBJ
tanned from the trees by methods that
do not injure the trees at all. They go
on yielding their wealth year after year
for a century or more. Here. in the
south, the pine forests are rapidly dis
appearing. The pine area is, of course, so
vast that It will take good many years
to exhaust the sources of the resin supply
but it VIII not be very long before there
will begin to be a scarcity of resin yield
ing pines. The experiments Of Prof. Fer
now are therefore timely. If the pine
forests can be preserved, and at the same
time made to yield the usual amount of
resin, the fact cannot be made known
too soon.
The possible state of Chicago is being
discussed. The question of cutting Cook
county loose from the rest of Illinois Is &C
tually before the judiciary committee of
the Illinois House of Represe natives. Chi
Cages big interests and bigger pull are
thorns in the flesh of some other sections
of the state. The Cook county members
have been buIlyra gging the other fellows
until they have got tired of 1t; hence Rep
resentative Jones of Green county has in
troduced joint resolution providing for
submitting to vote of the people a sepa-
o..
state. The preamble cites the conflicting
interests of the city and the rural dis
tricts, and suggests all the arrangements
for Chicago general assembly 1t is not
proposed, however, that Chicago shall
have a governor and federal senators of
her own, or that she shall have all the
benefit of the taxes she pays. The idea is
that the twin states shall be under the
same executive head. shall be represented
by the same senators in congress, and
shall divide the revenues; each twin.
meantime, having its own legislature. 1t
is hardly likely that any such queer
scheme of government will be tried, yet

sanction of the people at an election

The tone OF the democratic newspapers

We do not see why il must be given to

a difference between reasons and the

According to that paper. the matter is

gives no reasons for the positive state
meut IL makes. II Is true It gives rea-
sons why the nomination should not go

from what il says that the nomination
should go to the west.
We believe a western man should be

that a western man has a better chance
for being elected than an eastern or south

nate a western man for no other reason
than that the nomination should 80 to

CURRENT COMMENT.
Lacks Confidence in lila BOom.
From the Galveston News DEM.

Since Mr. McKinleys return to the
northern circuit his friends are taking
pains to announce that he refused to draw
the color line in his receptions while down
south. This looks as if the governor him
self had but little confidence in his south
ern boom after all the talk about it.
