The completion Of the Darien and West
ern railroad is a matter OF a great deal
more Importance than it appears to be at
first glance. II means another seaport
to compete for the business Of the inter
lot.
Darien is not a dead town OF a town
on paper, but a thriving little city which
has the advantages of a good harbor
and grand river-the Altamaha, whose
continents. the Ocmulgee and Oconee.
penetrate far into the State. and along
whose banks dwell thousands OF people.
Some Old towns Of the state, not having
the assistance Of railroads, have virtu-
ally disappeared, and there are others
that nave prospered because of their rail
roads. but Darien has continued TO be
place Of Importance without railroad help.
The names of Darien and Doboy are
known wherever ships collect 10 carry
the products of one continent TO an
other Long ago Dariens banks had
branches IN Savannah, and Savannah's
banks had branches in Darien. ON the
placid bosom of the Altamaha fioated
transportation TO domestic or foreign
ports at Darieu. The mercantile houses
of that town were numerous and pros
porous. and her citizens were as widely
known as those of any other place in
the country.
The want of a railroad left Darien be
hind in the race for prosperity, but it
did not destroy her. She kept steadily
on her course and enjoyed a certain
amount of prosperity. notwithstanding
the disadvantage under which she la
bored.
There is that in Darien's history that
makes one feel that there is good for
tune in store for her. II is not predict
ing too much to say that she will soon
be prominent ON the maps as an impor-
tant southern seaport. When congress
gives the country free ships Georgia's
seaports, namely. Savannah. Brunswick,
Darien and ST. Mary's, will make her
the great commercial state of the south.

The Outlook for Currency LegisIa-
ton.

Now that il il settled that there will be
no currency legislation by this congress.
the question is being asked. what is the
prospect of currency legislation by the
next congress- 1t must be admitted that it
is disheartening TO those who favor sound
money. Mr.. Reed will be the speaker. and
it is quite evident that he has not made
up his mind as TO the course he viii adj
wise in respect 10 the currency. He
would not have voted with the sound
money men in favor Of the administra-
TONS currency measure If he had not been
driven 20 do So by the letters and dis
patches he received from all parts OF the
north. He IS "a candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination of his party and is
more concerned about getting the nomi-
nation than about the settlement of the
currency question. IL is probable that his
views are those of the sound money men.
but he may be ready to yield those views
if he sees that by doing so he can inn
prove his presidential chances.
The republicans viii be in the majority
in the next House. but they are very much
divided in their views on the currency.
Those from the east are almost all strong
~ in favor of keeping the best money at
the front. but those from the west and
south are afflicted with the fiat money
craze. They have no settled views on the
money question. In the event of a crisis
in the financial affairs of the government
they might be bulldozed into supporting
sound money measure.
In the Senate the situation will be even
worse. Neither the republicans nor the
democrats viii have a majority. The bal
ance Of power will be held by the populists
and they are for fiat money 70 a man.
From present indications it will be i'm
possible to get sound money measure
through that body. The understanding is
that those in favor of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver will have a ma
jorlty.
1t looks now, therefore, as if the cur
rency question would remain unsettled
for two or three years. II is likely to be
the great issue in the next national cam
paign. The fiat money craze has pretty
firm hold in many sections of the coun-
try, and II may take national campaign
TO get rid of it.

The need for a change in the rules of the
Senate was never more clearly shown than
during the early part Of this week when
Nebraska, Mr.. Allen, occupied nearly two
days of the Senate's time in telling Capt.
Kolb's side of the recent gubernatorial
contest in Alabama. Senator Allen did
not state a single thing that has not ap-
peared in the newspapers. Senators did
not listen to him, and when he announced
that he had finished there was a gen
eral feeling of relief. The only reply made
TO his two days harangue was protest of
about one hundred words by Senators
Morgan and Pugh of Alabama. They
simply said that Senator Allen had been
guilty of an abuse of parliamentary law,
had taken up the time of the Senate when
there was urgent public business to be at
tended to and had made a discourteous as
sault on the rights of Alabama as a state
and on the character of her government
and her people. The protest was far more
forcible than the two days speech of the
Nebraska senator.
Why the Senate permits it's time to be
FILTERED away by useless speeches and
nonsensieial proceedings is one of the
things the people cannot understand The
Capt. Kolb matter was not properly be-
fore the Senate, and therefore no amount
of speechmaking could affect it one way
or the other. Senator Allen has an idea
that when he is speaking the whole coun-
try is listening. Hence he stops only when
he is exhausted. And there are other SEN
ators who are afflicted in the same way.
The Senate rules ought to be amended so
that Senator Allen and the rest of the
speech making coterie could be sat upon,
whenever the Senate gets tired of them.
1t is because a few senators can block
public business. and often do block it
when great public interests are waiting to
be acted upon, that the people are becom-
ing tired of the Senate as a body. There
isn't u senator who does not know that
the rules ought to be so changed that a
vote could be reached whenever desired
by the majority, but there is not
sufficient moral courage in the body to
bring about the much desired and very
necessary reform in the rules.

The new constitution of New York pro-
hibits the acceptance or use of free rail-
way passes by public officials; neverthe-
less. the judiciary committee of the House
of the legislature has reported favorably
a bill to compel railroads in the state to
give free passes to every state official
from the governor down to the employees
of the legislature, and including members
OF the legislature and military officials
The bill also takes in street railways, and
proposes that free transportation shall be
furnished policemen, fremen and others
1t furthermore includes telephone com
panies and says policemen and firemen
shall have the free use of Instruments
1t is provided in the bill that none of
the concessions shall be made use of ex-
cept in the performance of public duties

sor to determine waen a legislator was

cn private.

The news that Lii Hung Chang has been
appointed a peace envoy on the part Of
China may be the forerunner of news in
deed. Some years ago the old viceroy
was accredited with designs upon the
throne of China for his own benefit 1t is
said that Chinese" Gordon offered to
back him in an attempt upon the throne
which attempt would probably have been
made except for the fact that England re-
called Gen. Gordon before the scheme was
ripe. Since the beginning of the current
war there have been rumors of a revival
of LPs ambition in that direction. 1t is
within the range of possibilities, if not
probabilities, that the japanese may assist
in ousting the Manchu dynasty and plac-
ing the old viceroy. a Chinaman, upon the
throne of China. The Japanese are said to
desire the advancement and development
of China, and Lii Hung Chang is probably
the most progressive man in Chinese Off
cial life.

Why not make every policeman an in
spector? The police have plenty of time
to do the inspecting that is necessary to
be done, and as they are. as a rule. intel
ligent men, they would do the work we'll
The additional duty would not be burden
some to them, and it is probable that the
great majority of them would rather per-
form it than occupy their whole time in
patroling the different streets Of their re-
spective beats.
The other day, when it became necessary
to notify the people to close the water fan-
Gets Of their residences, the mayor had to
appoint special inspectors to do that
work Why could not the police have
done it2-
There are many ways in which police
men could render additional service to the
city without, in the least. lessening their
efficiency as guardians of the peace. If
each of them were supplied with a pencil
and notebook and instructed to make a
note of anything that needed the attention
of the city authorities it would not be
long before there would be a noticeable i'm
provement in sanitary matters and the
abatement of nuisances that are now neg
lected. In the policemans notebook
would be jotted down defects in the side
walks, defective water plugs, waste of
water conditions in cellars and lofts of
buildings which invite fires, the throwing
of refuse into the streets, the unsanitary
condition of premises and many other
things that easily suggest themselves to
those who are anxious that the health of
the city shall be protected, the appearance
of the streets and parks shall be attrac-
tive and the rights of people shall not be
infringed by the neglect or carelessness
of their neighbors. 1t could be easily
arranged to have the notes thus made
turned over to the proper authority, so
that the necessary remedies could be APP
piled for correcting the wrongs pointed
out by the policemen. In the cities of
France and in some of the cities of this
country the police act as inspectors, and
they discharge their duties in that respect
admirably.
The police are in close touch with the
people. and if they were required to dis
charge the duties suggested they would
be the guardians of the city to much
greater extent than they are now. They
would put a stop to many Objectionable
practices which are now tolerated, because
it is nobody's business in particular to
complain of them, or because those whose
duty it is to put a stop to them know
nothing of them.
