into political power by party bosses tc

nue.. Those bosses are often men OF
wealth and social position. But they arc
patriots for revenue only. Like the boy
In Eugene Fields Jingle who said:
Father calls me William, sister calls
me viii,
Mother calls me Willie, but the boys they
call me BILL"
but who was the self-same boy under
whatever name, so the politicians who
are Populists in Denver, Republicans in
Philadelphia and Democrats in New
York, are the self same hucksters of
votes and influence, of easy civic virtue,
whatever their party name.
In sharp contrast with bosses and
heelers, the so-called "better classes"
stand Enthusiastically aloof from politics,
ignore the primary, neglect the ballot
box, devote themselves to business or t.
pleasure, and content themselves with
grumbling at the boss rule they invite

are the worst classes. Recreant citizens

Objections to Football

Our football rules, or those to which
objection is specially made, are ingeni-
GUS and cunning, but they lack common
sense and intelligence. They tend more
and more to eliminate individual effort
and to depend upon combinations whose
effect shall be Irresistible. But what
sport Is there in being irresistible? What
sport demands is open competition of
man against man, or, If you please, OF
equal numbers against each other. Moth
ing could be more stupid and objectless
than the heaped-up rushes and collis-
ions of our football matches; the true
game is to get the ball through the ene-
nly's goal; and any rule which tends tc
take the accomplishment of that aim
from individuals and give 1t to masses
is rule in the wrong direction.
The prize-fighters are justified in say.
ing that football. as now played here, is
a more brutal and dangerous game than
priZe-fighting. 1t is lack of intelligence
in framing rules which has made it so;
a little common sense and independent
thought would make the game not only
free from serious danger, but far more
interesting both to play and to watch
But the whole idea thus far has been to
plan such combinations as the other side
being taken at a disadvantage, cannot
withstand; success becomes a mere
question of mechanics, with the human
element more and more eliminated. In
war, this principle is sound; but sports
are not war in that sense; they are de-
signed, not to win a certain prize, but to
find which man or men are the best. A
football team drilled in devices more in
genious than those of the other side wins
the game, but the glory belong not to the
team. but to the planner of the devices
What sport, or what legitimate satisfac-
ton, is there in that? The game might
as well be played on the blackboard, and
every once in while a player be
crushed to death under a steam ham,

The Best Kind of Charity

It is better for a city to spend $4,000
in providing work for supplicants than
it is to give $4,000 away to relieve tenn
porary needs. Aid at the best can be but
temporary; work when begun may be-
come permanent. Nothing breeds pau
perism so quickly as the knowledge that
one may live without working.-Cleve-

He declared that the tradition that
the ark rested on the top of Mount
Ararat was fable, pure and simple. AS
to the description of the ark, he said that
lit was in the neighborhood of 500 feet
in length. He thought it must have had
windows of glass or of some translucent
substance, because of the statement
that Noah looked out and saw the dove

The Rev. DR.. T. ]. Morgan. corre-
spending secretary Of the American
Baptist Home Missionary society, says
that the education and missionary work
which the Northern Baptists are doing
for the negroes is carried on especially
by four great rganzations-the Amer
lean Baptist Home Missionary society.
the Women's Home Missionary Society
of New England the Women's Home
Missionary Society of Chicago, and the
American Baptist Publication society
The New England Women's society is at
present cooperating very fully with the
parent society in New York.
In the work of unifying and render
ing efficient negro educational work IN
the south, efforts are making toward the
organization of negro state education
societies, designed to cooperate with the
Home Mission society. This plan is al
ready in successful operation in Vir-
ginia and Tennessee. 1t Is expected that
Georgia and Mississippi will soon follow
| in this line of work and that other states
will not be far behind. There is also
plan of cooperation" says DR.. Nor
gan, which unites the Home Mission So
ciety, the Home Board Of Southern Bap-
tist convention, the white state conven-
ton and the negro state convention In
carrying on missionary work among the
negroes. An important series of New
Era institutes are being held, where
lectures ere delivered by both white and
negro pastors, and where great deal
of good is being done in fitting pastors
Sunday school superintendents, teachers
and others for more important and eff
fective Christian work"
This last mentioned plan is now sue
lcessfully applied in Virginia. North ant
South Carolina and Alabama, and it Is
believed by the officers of the main So
ciety that before a great while all the
Baptist forces of the north and south
will be working together to promote the
moral, religious and intellectual inter.
ests of the negroes.

"Man's knowledge has advanced much
since Bible days. God has grown to fit
his larger universe. Many old notions
have disappeared in the light of later
experience. But the essential idea of
God as against the earlier beliefs-that
he is just and not partial, that he is the
power making for righteousness and
that, therefore, morality is inseparable
from religion--these vital truths were
caught once and for all time by the
prophets of Israel. Maurice H.
Harris of Temple Israel.
"It was not until some time after the
beginning of Pauls missionary tour that
Christians were accused in Rome as
Christians. Paul is accused Of turning
the world upside down. If it had been
sufficient to say that he was Christian
all these false charges might have been
left out. 1t was not until the latter part
of Pauls career that there began to be
established in Rome the principle of the
persecution Of Christians. Paul lived in
a period of religious Indifference. The

1--WE are face to face here in this mod
ern world with very strange condition
| of affairs. I wish I could see the out
come of it. Here are churches printing,
publishing, scattering all over America
and Europe statements of belief which
perhaps hardly one man in ten among
their pewholders and vestrymen believe
one word of.
"They will tell you that they do not
believe 1t. They are almost angry with
you If you make the statement that these
are church beliefs. And at the same time
we are in the curious condition of finding
that the man who proposes himself as a
candidate to the ministry in any of
those churches dares not question or
doubt these horrible statements; and If
it is found that he does question them
after he gets into the ministry he is in
danger of trial for heresy."-Rev. DR..

it yielded its intense opposition to Mr..
Cleveland and gave him the votes
which elected him president.
"The very foundation of democracy
is the willingness of the minority to
yield to the voice of the majority; and
whenever the principle is established
that, in the settlement of any point at
issue, the minority has the right to
walk out because it differs from the
action of the majority, then party
organization Will become a farce.
Suppose that, in the various campaigns
which have taken place in Georgia
since the war, the minority, on leading
issues before each state convention,
had done what the national boilers
are doing today-there would be no
democratic party in Georgia, and the
aggregate of the various minOrities so
protesting would haye been greater
than the strength of the regular
organization. If the minority in one
convention has the righ9 to bolt, that
of any other can do the same thing,
and this carried to its logical conclu-
sion means the disruption of a party
organization"
"There should be no further division
among the white men of Georgia and
of the south; and there is no better
common ground on which they can all
unite than the democratic platform"

MINERS WINNING.
They Are Gaining Ground Around
DeArmitt's Mines.

Pittsburg, Pa, August 3.-The
strikers are slowly winning points
about the DeArmitt mines. They
have already practically closed Sandy
Creek and Oak Hill mines, and the
Plum Greek men are coming out IN
small bodies. The marchers claim
they have svcceeded in inducing the
miners at Coal Port, where Plum
Creek Triple 10 located, in joining
the ranks. This reduces the number
of men in the mine by fifty.
The Plum Greek miners living at
Center, near the pit.mouth, entered
the mine, some of them in the usual
way, and others through an opening
that was nol guarded. There are $50
men near the mine, and large tent
has been procured for them to sleep
in. They have brass band and their
larder was added to by wagon load
of provisions. The success of the
campers in bringing out the Coal
Port miners frightened the spirits of
the miners and made them more
positive of victory.

FOR THE LYNCHERS.
Ryder's Life Insurance to be
Used to Avenge His
Death.
PINKERTONs ON THE TRAIL.
The Brothers Wanted Men Who Would
Not be Afraid of the Devil if They
Met Him in the Road"

Atlanta, Aug. 3.-Pinkerton detec-
tives Will be put to work on the Ryder
lynching case.
Two men connected with this fa-
nous agency are now in Atlanta en-
route to Talbotton, having been en-
ployed by the brothers of the mur-
dered man, who are determined that
so far as possible under the law the
death of DIR. Ryder shall be avenged.
Ryder had $4,000 insurance in the
New York Life Insurance company,
and the brothers are going to use
every cent of this money to punish
the lyhchers. They called upon the
police authorities of Atlanta for de-
tectiyes, but were advised that the At
lanta men were too well known to
undertake the work. They were re-
ferred to Colonel Glenn, the Atlanta
attorney for Pinkerton's agency.
Messrs. Ryder directed the Pinker-
tons to send two of their picked force
men who were thoroughly reliable,
and who "wOuld not be afraid of the
devil if they were to meet him in the
road.
The detectives arrived today and
are in conference over the work they
are to undertake. They will have
placed in their possession all the in
formation that has been collected by
the Ryder brothers.

DID NOT ARRIVE.
The TOwbOat Opposition Did Not Come in
Sight Y esterday.


Sight Yesterday.
Speaking of the opposition, the Saw
annah News of yesterday says:
"The rival towboat companies are
preparing for war along the coast be-
tween Savannah and Jacksonville.
The steamer r. L. Mabey has arrived
at Brunswick, and the first gun was
fred there.
"The Mabey has joined forces with
the Bristol company. This company,
it is said, made Overtures TO the
Brunswick people to arrange for the
latter to do the harbor towing for all
vessels to that port by any of their
tugs, but no agreement was arrived at.
"The Bristol company is making pre-
parations to enter the fight to win.
The Dauntless is now at Jackson
vile, having some repairs made to
her boiler, She will be ready in about
two weeks.
"The officers of the Propeller Tow
boat company will not talk about the
towboat war. They admit, however,
that the Brunswick COMPANY. with
which they have always had harmoni-
Gus dealings, has made a proposition
to combine against the Bristol COM
pany. They feel that the sending of
the Dauntless to Savannah waters in
creases the hostility between them
and the Bristol company, and that
they Will be justified in lending a
hand in the fight.
"The fight promises to be hot one,
and it may be expected that the rates
for sea and harbor towing this winter
will be lower than ever known in the
history of the business.
The towboat opposition did not
show itselfin Brunswick harbor yes
terday. The local towboat men were
on the lookout all day for the arrival
of TIE supposedly redoubtable Mabey
and her Dauntless crew. But the
side wheeler did not come. She NAV
be off the bar with the intention of
coming in this morning.

Stars and Stripes to be Raised

Month.
PROTECTORATE TO Be DECLARED.
Dole, President of the Islands, Does Not
0bject-Will Old Glory
be on Time

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-The follow
ing from the correspondent of the AS
soclated Press at Honolulu was re-
ceived on the steamer Belgic today:
"The arrival of the steamer Mo.
.nawi from San Francisco, due here on
Sept. 80, means much for Hawaii. In
official circles it is generally under
stood that United States Minister
Sewell will carry out the instructions
received in the last mail, which are
said to be to this effeco: If the Mo-
nawi brings word that congress has
failed to pass the annexation treaty,
Minister Sewell is to declare the ISL
and protectorale and raise the
American flag. The American min
lster has had frequent consultations
with President Dole within the past
week and it is believed they have
agreed on program. The general
impression here is that congress has
decided to let the matter of annexa-
tion wait over until the regular ses-
sion. The intervening months will
be long time for this country alone,
in view of Japan, and Secretary Sher-
man believes protectorate of the
United States is the only way to pre-
vent possible hostile action on the
part of the Japanese. AS soon as the
Monawi arrives it is understood the
United States minister will notify
this government of his intention to
raise the American flag. Diplomatic
equity will allow day or two for an
answer, and it is expected that every
thing will be in readiness to declare
protectorate Monday, Aug. 20. The
foregoing information comes from a
reliable source and but few persons In
Honolulu are aware of the near ap-
proach of the most important event in
the history of the country"

new courthouse for Glynn county.
The slxty-day limit for sending in
bids for the job expired yesterday,
and the commissioners met yesterday
morning for the purpose of opening
the bids offered and taking them under
consideration.
The amounts of the various bids are
of course not to be made public as yet.
The contractors represented by the
bids are well-knOwn and reputable
builders, and either w0nld undoubtedly
make first-class job of the newbuild-
ind.
Architect Frank P. Milburn. of
Charlotte, N. c., who made the ac-
cepted plans for the courthouse, was
In the city yesterday, to meet the
various contractors who came to offer
their bids. Mr.. Milburn says the cut
of the proposed building has been
published in all the leading trade
papers of the United States, and, as a
result, Brunswick and Glynn county
have received considerable valuable
advertising.
The contractors who had bids in were
all here in person, or by representative
yesterday, and stopped at the Ogle-
thorpe.
After looking over the bids, the
commissioners decided to fix August
% for the date for awarding the con-
tract. This will be the day after the
bond election, and the commissioners
will know better how to act in the
matter.
