A practical test Of the advantages If
the subway was given the other day dur
ing a severe thunder shower W hich struck
the city just as many shoppers We're ready
to start for their homes in the suburbs.
fremont street was practically desert
ed, and the waiting rooms in the Park
street station of the subway were filled
with men, women and children whose
principal idea for the time being was to
get out of the wet. Formerly patrons of
the West End Street Railway company
were obliged to wait all along fremont
street. taking such shelter as they might
be fortunate enough to find; now they
can go down into the subway and be sure
of a dry, comfortable place. The crush
was nearly equal to that of the opening
day, although the employees say there
was not quite so many. The first day
naturally, attracted many out of curl
Osity. while the other crowd was driV-
en- there by force Of circumstances.
The popularity of the subway is shown
by the fact that, during the late hours
of the afternoon, from 1000 to 5000 per
sons per hour pass through the turnstiles

Now that the subway has been opened,
it is said that the place has become a
favorable rendezvous for pickpockets
at certain hours of the day, and it is also
stated that there have been several
cases of larceny committed there since
the opening day. The reports have
reached the ears of the police and daily
between the hours of a and o'clock
two inspectors are detailed to keep a
sharp lookout for professional thieves.

a member of the Georgia Agricultural

yesterday. ct was decided by the

the fair at Atlanta instead of Macon,
and this caused such row that the
whole enterprise was abandoned, for
this year at least. We have held some

cotton, grain, fruit and stock.

NOTHING IN 1T.

1t did not require any official denial
to stamp as imaginary the report that
the British government had secured
a concession and accompanying rights
for the completion of the Panama ca
nal. 1t will be many a year hence, il
ever, that the big ditch begun by De
Lesseps is finished. The gigantic en-
terprise and still more, the fraudulent
financiering behind it, that shook the
whole of France, have put the project
in such bad odor that it would be
courageous company or government
that attempted to resume it. Further
than that, the Investigations which
preceded the collapse of the Panama
canal bubble We're even more discour-
aging than those made into the feast
bility of the Nicaragua scheme. 1t
appeared to be doubtful, not merely
whether the engineering plan of the
Panama company could be carried
sible at all to construct a canal across
the isthmus of Panama, and hold in
check the flood and defy the earth
quake The British government has
rot shown itself anxious at any time
to build or own or operate an 18TH
milan canal. Every rumor of that sort
has turned out to be a canard, whose
inspiration it would not be difficult to
determine There is a bare possibility
that some British company may have
it in mind to revive the De Lesseps
scheme, but, if so, it is rather with a
view to gathering in millions Of money
at a time favorable for speculative
enterprises than with the idea Of act
ually completing and operating the ca
nal itself.
We could wish heartily that the re-
port did have a basis Of fact beneath
it. Tt might be worth a good many
millions Of money to the United States
if Great Britain or some other country
cid. by building a canal across the
isthmus put a final quietus upon the
the thing that strikes the public mag
nation unaccountably. You cannot
have it brought up in congress that
dozen windy orators do not spring to
their feet to declare the supreme i'm
portance Of the control Of such a canal
by the United States, and the safety
that it would give us in peace and the
glory in war. The whole argument
is arrant humbug. From the military
and naval point of view, the control
of the Suez canal is infinitely mora
important than would be that CT one
across the isthmus between the two
Americas. Who knows, except as
matter of history, what government
has the power to open or close it? who
cares by what country the majority
of Suez canal stock is owned? :Yet

NEW DEAL ON BANK STOCK.
state Board of Equalization Adopts
- New Idea.


The state board of equalization put
in a day Of good hard work yesterday,
the chief result Of which was the adop-
ton of a new basis for arriving at the
equalization of bank stock assessments
The resolution recites that an aggre-
gate be made of the capital stock, the
surplus and undivided profits. From
that sum will be deducted the value
of legally authorized investments in
real estate. Then 55 per cent of the
residue will be taken as the basis for
assessment.
Last year the board deducted 10 per
cent from the undivided profits as an
amount to cover loans. etc, and assess
ed on 60 per cent of the remainder,
after deducting authorized investments
in real estate.
The change will put all banks on the
same basis, irrespective of undivided
profits. and the valuation of 80 per
cent. instead of so, as last year, will
leave the state in about the same con-
dition as to valuation
The afternoon was spent in the con-
sideration of classes one, two and
three. horses. in the considera ton of
which a number of minor changes were
made in some of the counties without
making any marked change in the
total of the assessment for this class OF
property. ---,-. .-.--.----

that is the connecting link, not only
between. England and her Indian en-
pire, but between France and Germany
and Portugal and Holland and Italy,
and their interests in Eastern Africa
and Southern Asia and the Australia
sian settlements. Compared with this,
the national or international impor-
lance of a Panama or Nicaragua ca

AS far as we are concerned, commu-
nication between our Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts is carried on by railroad,
and always will be. A swift transit Tor
warships from one ocean to the other
will never be needed unless we are
aggressors. The defense of our Pacific
coast, if that is ever needed, must be
carried on by our Pacific squadron.
The eXigencies Of war do not admit
of sending North Atlantic squadrons
to Puget sound, even by the way of
Nicaragua or Panama There is not
a valid argument that can show the
control of such a canal to be of vital
Importance to us. A crude and fam
boyant Americanism has been ap-
pealed to, simply to get the govern
ments Endorsement of lot of worth

somebody else would dig canal

The editor of the St. Paul G 10 e talks
like a fool when he inferentially says That
dollar wheat and advanced prices all along
the line of agricultural products, from an
increased demand from any cause, would
not advance the price of lumber by an in
creased demand. but lays the lumber ad-
vance solely to the recent duty placed upon
foreign lumber. Lumber was looking up
before the tariff bill was passed. With
sincere apologies to our friends for this
break and we shall attempt to see to 1t
that it does not occur again soon.-St. Croix
Republican.
This fellow is evidently trying hard to say
something, thinking he has something to
say. There is an instant of lucidity when
what he says is Ineligible lumber was
looking up before the tariff bill passed :
followed by a relapse into Numbering. OF
course lumber was looking up Prices
were advanced just as soon as it became
certain that at least a dollar tax would be
laid. 1t looked up higher when the tax was
made two dollars, and we have just had a
lumbermen's association instructing their
price-list committee to make it look higher
yet
