PRESS OPINIONS,

1t is proposed to name one Of the
new battleships Kentucky. No
boat bearing that would ever sue
cessfully take to water.-Peters-
burg Index-Appeal, Dem.
But in limiting the offer to gold
and in extending the time to thirty
days, the president has taken the
surest way possible to make the
popular loan plan failure and put
it into the hands Of his Wall street
friends, which in our opinion, is
precisely what he intended.-New
York Press, Rep.
Some Of tho industrial journals
Of New York are inclined to sneer
at the proposed exposition at
Chicago of the products Of southern
cotton mills. They have permitted
their jealousy OF Chicago to run
away with their judgment, but
they have hurt nobody but them
selves-Atlanta Journal, dem.
A pension list becomes a danger.
Gus thing when it is increased for
favored widows. The government
cannot afford to begin to take care
of the family OF every prominent
man who died. II it takes care Of
the families of the "prominent"
why not also of the families OF the
Observation-Disclosures Register.
1t suggests the thought that
United States senators are too far
removed from the people to keep
| them in proper check. Humilia-
ting, however, as it may be, there
is at least some consolation in the
fact that the American people are
becoming increasingly apprecia,
tive of men of merit in public ser.
vice, just as they are becoming
growingly resentful toward those
who betrsy them.-Brooklyn Eagle
dem.
II this congress is capable of an
act Of craftsmanship IF it possesses
enough patriotism to rise above
mean partisan motives and address
itself to the task Of relieving the
nations difficulties, it seems to us
that the time for demonstration
in that direction is almost more
than ripe. Whether the admins
tration be acting wisely or unwise.
| ly; whether or not better expedi
emit be within its reach; the fact
remains that congress has both
the duty and the authority to dea
with the problem, and that every
obstacle now confronting the gov
eminent is due to its delinquency
Congress could, now, by prompt
and patriotic and intelligent &C
tion, apply successful and con
elusive remedy to our financia
troubles and congress will b'
criminaily derelict II 1t fails to d.

sci for William Wright, colored, who
was recently convicted of voluntary
manslaughter and given three years in
the penitentiary for killing Thomas

Saunders was Wright's attorney, and

evidence; second. errors of the Court In
admitting written evidence given be-
