Our case against Turkey Is an excel.

Nothing in the way Of money due can
be got In Turkey nowadays without
pressing the suit In a manner which
would be thought extraordinary In ev.

The lockout Of garmentmnkers In
New York City has failed. The bosses.
who are the sweaters, have backed
down and have accedcd ngain to the
terms Of the union. Last summer the
workers In this line wagcd a bitter ana
successful fight against sweat. slop
conditions. At the close OF tint strike
the garment workers were guaranteed
the abolition of the obnoxious sweating
system and the establishment Of n
week-wOrk system. with n ten-hOur dry

had the workers In their bosses that the
latter were required to give bonds for
the carrying out Of the agreement.
Notwithstanding all this. however,

After much INDIGESTION and frequent
changes Of mind the ruler OF England
picked upon Alfred Austin az poet
laureate to succeed TcnnysOn. The or.
iginal intention to give the honor to
Lewis Morris was altered, and Morris
was accommodated with title by way
Of consolation. Alfred Austin. tho now
incumbent, Is but little known to reld.
ers on this side Of the Atlantic, although,
In England he has won much adnira.
tiOn for the manly perseverance with
which he has continued to write poems
on the royal family. Some of his
other themes are lackadaisical, but lie
has been everlastingly inspired Ivy
changes In tho weather. much OF Ills
verse handling this subject exclusively.
One feels throughout his writings TIM
here Ii an honest man who has set out
to be- poet and who means to hold FAST
to the Intention. He might have been
happier In his selection OF a profession,
but nothing could exceed the patience
with which he has applied himself to
tile task Of his choice. 1t IL hoped that
the English public will appreciate this
successor of Tennyson. One can never
read the poems OF Alfred Austin with.
ont fe!ing confident that he Is a very
nlce gentleman. lie may he relied upon
to give out a good shilllng's worth, OF
poetry every time u member Of the
royal family IL born or buried. And
this IL the chief end and aim of a poct
laureate.
The people Of Atlanta do right to
claim that their exposition, which came
to a close on tho last day of 1905, hns
been success. 1t Is true that the gu te
receipts have amounted to less than
x4OO.OOO and that the total paid attend. |
ance has been only 10000. or not many
more than the attendance Of a single |
memorable and glorious October day
mt the Worlds Fair. 1t IL true, also, |
that the cltlxens OF Atlanta In making
up the balance OF their expenses and re- |
celpts ind that the exposition has cost
them about 100000. But the benefits
accruing to the city In other ways are
not to be measured In terms of money.
In one way the exposition fully achiev-
cd Its purposes. 1t drew public atten.
tion from all parts OF the North to the
possibilities OF advantageous CONNER.
clal relations with the South and with
the Southern metropolis. 1t was the
means Of awakening frlendlier feel.
Ing and an appreciation Of the fact that
the interests involved are mutual. IN
advertising alone the exposition has ~.
paid Its cost and Its benefits to Atlanta
and the South are likely to he felt In tho
commercial development Of the country
for number of years. The people OF
Atlanta will please accept well-dese,v.
cd congratulations from the Northern
city which has been foremost In an.
swerlng her Invitation and giving ma
terlal aid to her enterprise.
