ON HIS EAR.

A good citizen, an upright man, a
prominent member Of one of the two
largest churches in the city, writes us
a communication. 1t is addressed to
two prominent ministers, one of them
his own pastor. 1t is the most scath-
ing contribution dealing with the Wich-
tia war, yet reaching us, arraigning not
only the animuS of the local conflict.
and suggesting unpleasant results TO
the cause Of Christianity, but attack
ing the characters and records of the
administrative instruments in a man
ner, true or untrue, such as might end
in suit for libel. He cites discredit-
able individual acts. compromising
facts. and quotes language that would
shock four out of five of all our read
ers. concluding by very clearly locating
the responsibility for ali the trouble.
While we would hesitate to publish the
communication under any considera-
ton. the writer completely bars it by
refusing to permit his own nroper

Ordinarily an editor does NOT care
whether the authors real name GOES
with his communication or NOT hut
IN an instance like this the letter is
robbed of its entire force by the omis-
sion of the name. II would be claimed
that no such letter was ever written
or otherwise. that the author was =
coward. In this case the name of thu
writer would constitute the principaI
force and value of the criticism and
onslaught. The character of the
writer is not only above reproach but
his standing as 4 citizen exceptionally
high.

WHERE IS NANSEN?

The Frankfurter Zeitung, under the
above heading. publishes correspond
ence from Copenhagen, Denmark, in
which an account is given of Dr. Fridtj
of Nansen'S arctic expedition I'D to
August 3. 1893. From that date TO
this nothing has been heard of the
fate Of the crew of the Fran, which
two years ago sailed for the North
Pole. and was seen on that day by the
Nordyn, a Norwegian vessel, near Wal
gatsch Island, close to the line divid
ing Europe from Asia
The ship Fran carries five years pro-
visions and DR.. NanSen himself did not
expect to return before 1897 or 1898.
A Norwegian paper publishes his last
letter, addressed to his brother in
Christiania. and dated July IL, 1893,
in which the explorer writes: Il do
not think we shall return before four
or five years have passed, but you
may be sure we will come back. for We
are so well equipped as never any ex-
petition has been previous to this. 1t
is hard to compute how long the voy-
age will last. for it is possible that we
may be forced TO pass the winter on
the Asiatic coast thus losing 4 whole
year"

SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER

The Methodist ministers of Chicago
invited Hardie, the English Socialist
now in this country, TO address their
Monday morning meeting. He accepted
the invitation and gave them red-hot
Anarchistic doctrines. They were not
only astonished, but shocked and pro-
ceeded TO howl him down with indig-
nant protests. After having offered
him the platform they took 1t away
from him and refused to let him pro-
coed.
The ministers should have known
better than TO invite such a man 10
speak 10 them. If they didn't like the
sentiments he Endorsed. they should
not have asked for them. Having in
vlted him TO speak. simple courtesy
and ordinary politeness required them
10 listen respectfully He was entitled
70 the floor and they should have heard
him through. The whole business

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

The great exposition opens at At
lanta on the 18th. 1t is going TO be
fair worth seeing, NOT rivaling the
Columbian at Chicago, but otherwise
the greatest fair ever seen in Amer
lea. The Centennial fair of 1876 at
Philadelphia nor the midwinter fair at
San Francisco We're no such exhibit
tons as will be the Atlanta Fair.
All the main buildings are completed
any many of the exhibits are in place
By the 18th the gaps will be approxim-
atdy filled. Hundreds of car loads of
articles are arriving daily over the
Southern railway from various parts
OF the country, with some from foreign
countries. and these the Atlantians are
arranging with their characteristic
energy. A few days later the car
loads Of exhibits will be succeeded bv
crowded trains Of sightseers. and the
Atlanta Exposition will be for three
months constant attraction. Ex-
tending into the winter. it will be
taken il" by thousands that seek the
mild climate of Florida and Southern
Georgia at that season. There is no
claim, of course, that the Atlanta Fair
equals in extent the Chicago Fair. upon
which the federal government lavished
so many millions, but it will possess
merits of its own and great merits
which will make it similarly inviting.
Most of the visitors at Chicago en-
countered there a climate, people and
industries with which they We're more
or elss familiar already as being a
northern city. A southern city in the
midst of the cotton fields and in q re-
gion made famous by the civil war
would have had more novelty for them.
MultitudeS will go from the north, at
tracted by the features distinctive of
the south, and will larry under the
charm Of GeOrgia's winter climate.
1t is gratifying to observe that the
government exhibits promise to be ex-
ceptionally interesting, embracing
every department of its activity. The
Smithsonian Institute will be well rep
resented. and its methodically classi-
fled display is always instructive. But
the feature of chief interest will be the
opportunities the fair will present for
studying Dixie. the land of cotton and
cheap iron.

FOOLISH AND EXPENSIVE.

The German army maneuvers at
Stettin. in which over $1,000 German
troops are engaged, are stated to be of
unusual Importance in a military sense
because Of the nature OF the ground
upon which the mimic war is being car
ried on. 1t consists OF n wide area OF
marshes and broad pools. and is ira
versed only by two highroads. Under
these circumstances. the engineer and
pontoon corps viii obtain considerable
practice, and will have a severe task
to perform in providing passabIe ways
and constructing bridges for cavalry
and artillery. Il might be more useful
to put the whole $1,000 trigger-pullers
and explciers Of blank cartridges 10
work upon the construction OF perma-
nent roads and viaducts through this
dismal swamp: but in that event there
would be little fun in the whole bust
ness for the kaiser and his royal
guests Uulitarianism is incompatible
with the amusement Of kings.

truth. They denounced him as unpa-
triotic. But the minister of marine
took up the matter and gave an order
for the construction of two large 'com-
merce destroyers," whose speed shall
be at least % knots an hour. We
trust these fearful things will mater
ialize. if for no other purpose than to
appease Gallo vanity, which received
so rude a shock. Among existing
French warships the highest speed at
tainable by any vessel IS from 10 to 20
knots. The cruiser Columbia's record
for ordinary speed is % knots, and this
can be pushed TO %, if not higher. She
holds the worlds record for ships Of
her class.
The action of the French minister of
marine in ordering the new war YES
sels-which he himself confesses-was
brought about by the example set by
the United States in naval cOnstruc-
tOn. Speed in war vessel is now
Of as great Importance as in the mer-
chant service. This is especially true
when 1t concerns cruiSerS-the cavalry
of the sea-destined to destroy an
enemy'S commerce. France boasts
that she fears Germany on neither land
nor sea; but where would she be if
it should come TO contesting for the
supremacy of the sea with her perfid-
ious neighbor across the Straits of
Dover! England's fortunate geograph-
ical position makes it unnecessary for
her to maintain a large armed force
at home, and enables her to devote to
naval construction such large sums
as would ruin any of the continental
powers. That country rigidly ad-
heres to the principles principle first
enunciated by Palmerston. we believe
that she should always have a war
fleet as large at least as that of any
other two countries combined. By
the superior weight Of her armament
she could crush any other European
power when it came to actual conflict.
But what she fears above all else are
ravages which might be committed on
the ocean by rapid cruisers sweeping
down upon her merchant marine and
preventing all traffic; for the day that
England's commerce destroyed her
material existence will be comprom-
ised, and she will be stricken to the
heart. That is why she recently be-
gan the construction of those two high
speed cruisers, the Terrible and the
Powerful.
We Americans being men of peace
full souls, it is rather strange that the
excellence attained in our naval archi-
lecture should thus create apprehen-
sion and rivalry in the naval circles of
Great Britain and France. We have
certainly stirred up the latter country
to direct action, and it looks as if the
Gaufs activity We're growing to be a
thorn in the flesh Of his Britannia
neighbOr.

CHURcHIANIrY AND CHRISTIANITY

A prominent lawyer of this state, in
attendance at the United States court,
who called upon the editor of the Eagle
yesterday, and not finding him in left
a note upon his table. a political point
er, adorned with a moral sequence as
il were. He intimates in his little
billetdoux that the Eagle is engaged
in war, that it is a fight between
'churchianity" and christianity, and
he advises the editor of the Eagle TO
make haste and change sides and join
the churchianity crowd. In the most
pathetic sentences he goes on to plead:
why Quickest thou established church.

and find some presiding elder. or Elder
Wood, or even an ex-Elder Kelly or
Botkin and say to them, thy will, not
that Of the people, be done"
