We know nothing Of the merits OF the

little trouble between Recorder Wilson

believe that public sentiment viii sustain

the warrents were issued 50. besides the
regular costs.
OF course, it is expected that the jus
tees will make out of their Offices all they
can legitlmately. It is the system which
is wrong. 1t encourages quarreling and
fighting and disturbing the peace. It
keeps a large percentage Of the blacks
poverty stricken. 1t is a bad system. from
whatever point it may be viewed and we
are glad that Recorder Wilson has made
an issue that will cali attention to it in
a way that will make the people think
about 1t and set about reforming it.
Recorder Wilson is criticised by some
for showing zeal in matters that he need
not necessarily notice. but the fact viii
not be overlooked that his zeal is exer-
cised in the right direction. Whatever he
does is for the public good. His action
yesterday in taking steps to put a stop
to selling liquor to minors is greatly to
his credit.

Tinman's Uncomfortable Position.


A Washington dispatch published in the
New York Times states there is tacit
agreement among the senators that no re-
ply shall be made to anything Senator
Tillman may say IN the Senate. and that
Mr.. Tillman is aware of the agreement.
Such an agreement must be exceedingly
calling to him, if he is at all sensitive.
The only possible reason for such an
agreement is that he hasn't the respect
of the senators. 1t is intimated that,
knowing of the agreement he was sur
prised when Senator Hill resented his at
tack on the administration. Senator Hill
explains that the reason he noticed Mr.
Tillman's speech was that when the Pres
ident was attacked on former occasion
by Mr.. Tillman there were many inquiries
as to why no one spoke in defense of the
President. 1t was TO satisfy the people
that the administration has defenders in
the Senate that he replied to the abuse
which Mr.. Tillman heaped upon it.
If the Senate thinks Mr.. Tillman is nor
worthy of an answer TO anything he may
say there is no good reason why the Pres
ident should be disturbed by his abuse
What he says is not regarded as Of any
consequence outside of South Carolina.
Mr.. Tillman cannot feel very comforta-
BILE either in the Senate or in Washington,
if he cares a all for the respect of those
with whom he comes in contact. He may
pretend he don't care how he is regarded
by the public, but he cannot help caring
He has made two speeches in the Senate,
but it is not likely he will make another

Free Coinagc in Persia.
From the chicago TimesHerald und.


A dispatch from Teheran to the London
Times apropos of the Persian regicide
says: Much discomfort has existed for
some time through the dearness of pro-
visions. partly caused by the excessive use
of copper coins"
We commend the dispatch to the inteli-
gent study of our free silver friends.
Cheap money, dear food, discontent-the
logic is the same on the Caspian sea a

snvnnnnh,s Why FestivnI.

Everything is moving along smoothly
and tremendously for the success of Sa-
vannahs gala week this year. and it is
now beyond the bounds of idle prediction
and well into the realms of certainty to
say that the May festival, under the new
plan Of entertainment namely, prize drills
and military displays. will prove the gay
est Savannah has ever known since the
spring festivals were inaugurated.
The citizens of Savannah are thorough
ly IN sympathy with the military men who
have undertaken the first meet of the NIL
itary Interstate Association and will lend
their efforts towards making the week of
revelry and fun all that it ought to be- sa-
vannah is known far and wide for her in
comparable hospitality. Particularly does
this spirit of cordial welcome run high in
military circles, when visiting soldiers from
other cities are the guests Of the city The
volunteer soldiery of Savannah seem TO
know by intuition what it takes to give
soldiers good time and they have never
yet failed to do their fun duty when it came
to receiving and entertaining visiting COM
panies.
The programme made out for the ap-
preaching season of prize drills rifle tar
get practice band contests and cavalry
tournaments is a most tempting one for
the military and civilians alike, and it is
easy to predict that throngs of people will
flock to Savannah during the gay season,
May IL TO May 10. The railroads have
given the low rate of one fare for the
round trip to all civiians. and one cent a
mile to members of military companies
who come to participate in the prize drills
and contests of various sorts. These re-
auctions in rates will enable many of the
military commands throughout the states
Of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and
Alabama to come to Savannah with full
membership, and the chances are bright
for the grandest military parade that has
been witnessed in Savannah for many a
day.
No city in the south is better suited for
such a gathering of soldiers as the May
festival will bring The drill grounds are
nearly in the very center of the city and
no more beautiful spot for a military en-
campment could be found Savannah 5
streets are smooth and level and well suit
ed for the display of military parades to
best advantage Best of all, Savannah is
a city where the spirit of military pride
! and comradeship runs higher than in any
| other city Of the south.
With all these things conspiring to make
the first meeting of the Military Interstate
/ Association a success. it is difficult TO fan
/ cy how it could be otherwise.

The British South Africa Company win

in the attempt upon the Transvaal by
calling upon Cecil Rhodes to resign. There
is well grounded belief in this country
that the raid was insugated by the com
pany-not by Rhodes alone as the rep
resentative of the company-as it would
have profted immensely by the success
of the scheme. British wrath about the
Jameson raid is no doubt based solely
upon its failure.

a Million Dollars for sight.

Health is beyond price. Those who have
it don't know the value of 1t. After they
have lost it they would willingly give all
they possess TO regain it. Very few people
who have health take care of it. Most
people fail to realize how easily they can
injure it, and even completely wreck it.
They expose themselves recklessly and
give full reign to their appetites The
time comes when they wish they had been
more careful and had exercised greater
self-restraint Regrets, however. gener-
ally come too late.
Men ruin their health in pursuit Of
wealth forgetting that wealth without
health loses its attractions. As far as
getting enjoyment out OF wealth is con-
cerned a man might as well be poor as
rich if he hasn't health
Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss. a million
aire merchant of New York, is rapidly
losing his eye sight. In fact, he has prac-
ticaly lost it already. His trouble is
paralysis of the optic nerve. The most
skilfun physicians have tailed to afford
him any relief He has finally concluded
to see what a Chicago hypnotist can do
for him.
In conversation a day or two ago Mr.
Rouss said. 4 VIII give 100000 to this
hypnotist, or to any other man. who will
restore my eye sight" Mr.. Rouss has
learned through his affection something
of the value of health. He has accumu-
lated a great fortune and he is liberal
with it, He understands that his millions
are of little benefit to him without his
sight. To another friend he said recently.
Il have been successful in business and
have accumula ted wealth, but TO get back
my eyesight I would gladly return to the
poverty Of my boyhood. and as an old man
begin life o~er again" To nearly all a
great fortune seems 10 be very desirable.
but there are things more desirable than
wealth. because they bring more happl-
ness. If the world could be made to ap
preciate this, the burdens that millions
bear would be made lighter.
