The announcement of the release of Syl-
vester Scovel from prison by the Span
ish authorities was doubtless received with
pleasure by all who have given any at
tention to the case. MI Scovel is young
man, and is the Cuban correspondent of
the New York World. His release was an
act of clemency on the part of the Span
ish government.
Although Mr.. Scovel is an American cit
izen our government was unable to do
much to hasten his release. He had delio-
crafty violated the regulations which the
Spanish authorities have established in
Cuba. He had once been arrested
and sent out of the country, aud had re-
turned in violation of his parole and un-
der a false name and with false pass
port He was captured between the lines
while returning from the camp of the in
surgents He did not deserve much sym
patty under the circumstances, and it
was difficult to arouse sympathy for him
Notwithstanding the efforts that We're
made in his behalf by the newspapers
While it is pretty safe to assume that he
was not a spy, as the Spanish authorities
charged, it must be admitted that the case
against him was of a character to justify
the Spaniards in keeping him in prison.
Secretary Oney was severely criticised
for not making an imperative demand for
his release, but his critics were chiefly
those who are so hostile to Spain that
they are not satisfied to have this gov
eminent deal fairly with Spain. They
want it to take sides against Spain, even
in cases in which the right is on the side
of Spain.
When Mr.. Scovel gets out of Cuba this
time he will probably stay out. He will
hardly attempt to fool Spain again under
a false name and with forged passport.

and quite a soldierly bearing. He walked
along with enough pride in his breast to
furnish an entire regiment. The crowds
along the line Immediately sized him up,

Col, Merritt w. Dixon "hit the nail on
the head" in his talk in the Morning News
yesterday when he declared that the rail-
failure of Savannah to get a good deal of
the lumber trade which rightfully belongs
to her. The commission has injured and
still Injuries Savannah. Its decision that
the Brunswick and Western railroad and
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
road being owned by the same parties are
one road is the cause of all the trouble.
That decision gave a short haul rate to
Brunswick and that Is the reason why
Savannah saw mill men, who own the
mills along the Brunswick and Western,
are compelled, in order to compete VITA
other saw mill men, to ship through
Brunswick instead of through their own
port. Col. Dixon deserves the thanks of
the community for reminding them of the
fact.
This decision of the commission was not
based upon justice. 1t was secured doubt
less by the boomers of Brunswick who,
it is understood, were persistent in their
efforts to get it.
As a matter of fact the Brunswick and
Western is distinct corporation. There
was no more reason for the commission's s
decision after Mr.. Plant bought it than
there was when it was controlled by New
York parties. If the Savannah freight
bureau wants to do Savannah a service
let it use its persuasive eloquence on its
friends of the railroad commission, and
get them to give Savannah men who own,
or are largely interested in, most of the
saw mills and turpentine farms on the
Brunswick and Western, a fair chanoeato
bring their products to Savannah. BY
doing so it will do this city some good.
Col Dixon's remarks in respect to our
quarantine are on the right line. The
quarantine tug Theckla should be sold
to the towboat company, or the river i'm
provement companies. A rereading of
Col. Dixons remarks by our business men
is advised. They are a good antidote for
croaking

The Control OF the senatc.

The Senate has adjourned, and the ques-
ton as to whether the republicans or the
opposition will control it when congress
meets in extraordinary session next week
remains undecided. The republican sena-
tors held a caucus a few days ago, and
found they could count upon only forty
two senators for partisan work. They ex-
pect that a republican will be elected sena-
tor from Kentucky and also from Oregon,
thus giving them forty-four. Senator
Proctor limited that another senator would
be found when needed giving them forty
five. 1t is supposed he had reference to
Senator Kyle of South Dakota, who was
elected senator recently by republican
votes. With the vote of the Vice Presi-
dent, the votes of forty-five senators would
give the republicans control of the Sen
ate.
A few days ago it was the understanding
that the opposition, composed of demo-
Gratis, silver republicans, populists and in
dependents, would unite and control the
Senate. They held a caucus on Tuesday
and were somewhat surprised that Sena-
tor Lindsay OF kentucky was the only
one of the sound money democrats who
attended. The failure of the others to at
tend caused a report to be circulated that
the sound money democratic senators
would not help to put the Senate under
the control of the silverites. Whether or
not this report has any foundation is not
known.
1t is apparent that it isn't going to be
an easy matter to change the present or
ganization of the Senate. There may be
developments within the next few days
that will change the situation somewhat,
but the indications at present are that
the control of the Senate will depend
largely upon the position taken by the
sound money democratic senators.

One cold and stormy evening last winter
says the Youths Companion, prosperous
looking business man stopped in the yes
tibule of a large office building. on his way
out, and attempted to light a cigar. An
urchin with an armful of papers also stood
within the arch, stamping his feet on the
stone step to warm them, as he Justify
cried his wares.
The wind blew out the last match which
the fur-coated broker had about his per-
son, and he turned to the boy and said:
Here, boy, give me a match"
The lad eyed the gentleman furtively as
he inquired Say, mister. is that de-
mand or a request?"
Instead of being angry at this reproof,
the condemnation he was such-replied
kindly:
"A request, my boy, an humble request;
and I'll take couple of evening papers.

match from the youngsters hand and
passed him quarter, land you may keep

That mans got manners If he's a mind
ter take the time ter use EN-" said the
boy, as his patron boarded a car.
THAT boy won't always have to sell pa
pers If he practices what he breaches"
thought the broker as he sat down to read
the news.

Man of rigid Views was He.

The play of the evening was one Of
those hilarious adaptations from the
French, where a staid householder of ma
ture years takes a night off and makes
the most of it in an atmosphere of cham
payne and general revelry, says the KAN
sas City journal. AS the performance
progressed and the fun grew faster and
more furious the other members of the
party looked at the man of rigid views
with considerable solicitation. How would
he take it? Would he get up and go out?
Might he not even rise from his seat ana
denounce the performance? But no; he
sat there quietly enough, his face fixed
in a look of frozen intentions and his
eyes glaring through his glasses at the
spectacle beyond the footlghts. How
ever else he might regard the perform
ance, he certainly wasn't amused. Not a
ghost of a smile crossed his face. The
others might laugh and nudge each other
but he sat stolidly through it all to the
very fall of the curtain.
When they were all going down the
stairs one of the party had the temerity
TO ask him how he liked the show, and
all the others waited with bated breath
to hear his whitening denunciation.
Why" he pleasantly answered, lit was
the funniest thing I ever saw in my life"
'B-but." stammered the astonishad
questioner, you didn't laugh-you didn't
even smile"
No" answered the other, 81 didn't
laugh becau5e I was afraid i might lose
some of it."
And the laughter that followed that
sally was far more enjoyable than any
thing the play brought forth.

Placing the plane on Carlisle.

Mr.. Cannon's effort to place the blame
for the unpreeedentedly large appropria-
tions of the Fifty-fourth congress on Mr..
Carlisle will hardly be successful. Mr..
Cannon was chairman of the committee on
appropriations, and he says that the APP
preparations were below the estimates.
This statement is undoubtedly correct,
but the estimates are only a guide for con-
gress. The Secretary of the Treasury is
not responsible for the appropriations. If
he were there would be no need for con-
gress to have anything to do with them.
The estimates are really made up by the
heads of the bureaus of the different de-
partments, and indicate the amount of
money than is necessary if all the expendi-
lures authorized by the laws enacted by
congress are to be made. 1t is the duty
of congress to find out what the income of
the government will probably be, and to
keep the appropriations within the income.
Congress has made laws authorizing con
tracts to be made, but it
doesn't follow that the money
called for be these contracts shall
be appropriated in one year or two years
congress Cdl 6AGfClSN It's JuuSL4Sul dS 10
the amount that shall be appropriated in
any one year.
The biggest item in the appropriation bill
is that for pensions. Mr.. Cannon will
hardly say that Mr.. Carlisle is responsible
for the amount appropriated for pensions
The estimate doubtless called for just
about the amount required to pay the pen
sioners. Congress is responsible for the
enormous pension burden, not Mr.. Car
Isle.
The responsibility for extravagant ap-
propriations rests upon congress and no.
where else. Mr. Cannon may talk about
estimates as much as he likes, but he will
not convince the people that congress is
justified in making appropriations in ex-
cess of the revenues. however large the
estimates may be.

The Jacksonville Citizen, in urging that
the government establish a naval station
in Florida and take other steps to pro-
tect the peninsula, directs attention to the
fact that half of the Atlantic and Gulf
coast line of the United States Is within
the state of Florida" From the Perdido
to the st. Mary's is nearly double the dis
lance from st. Mary's to the icy water Of
the northern sea. Florida owns
coast line equal to about half the
entire Atlantic coast line Of the United
States" These are striking facts which
are probably not appreciated by the aver
age citizen. Most people think Of Florida
as a little spur sticking out from the
southeastern end of the country. which
produces oranges, alllgators ana pickanin-
mics. II Is a great state, in size and i'm
portance. II should be made as nearly as
possible inyulnsrable to possible foreign
foes.

why shouldn't bicycles be carried as
baggage?'' asks the Augusta Herald. For
the reason that bicycles are not baggage.
The efforts to force railroads to carry
them free are based upon a desire TO get
something for nothing, and are backed up
and pushed along by politicians. who hope
by ooddling the bicycle riders to get their
votes. If the railroads are to be required
to carry bicycles without pay for the SER
vice, let the demand for free transporta-
ton be made for bicycles as bicycles"

hC lOE the .
Alderman Charlton voiced the sentiments
OF a vast majority of the people of the
city in what ne said at the council meet
ing Wednesday night, in reference 10 the
appropriation by the city for the benefit
of the military companies. The people
have the most kindly feeling for the mill
tary organizations, and are always ready
to assist them. Indeed, they promptly and
literally respond to every call made upon
them by those organizations, but they do
not think the city is in a financial
condition to make appropriations for the
military. If the city had money to burn"
1t would be another matter. There are
many things the city cannot do for the
want of money-things which ought to be
done. An outlet for the city sewage ought
to be constructed and system of house
drainage is greatly needed. Thousands of
dollars could be probably spent in beau
tifying the city and other thousands in
paving the streets.
Mr.. Charlton called attention to the fact
that the military Organizations did not
ask for assistance. The appropriation
was made just as If the city had an over
flowing treasury and did not know what
TO do with the money.
The people undoubtedly appreciate the
benefit the military organizations are to
the city, and that is why they are always
so ready to help them, and, besides. they
feel a just pride in them. but there are
so many improvements that are needed
to protect the health Of the city and in
crease its attractions that money cannot
be spared from the city treasury for the
benefit Of the military.
