BUSINESS MEN AND CONGRESS.

The Atlanta Journal would like to see more business men elected to congress and cites a number of ques- l tlons now before our national law giverS where some business experi- ence and capacity on the part of the members would seem to be necessary to an intellectual solution of the prob- lemS.
 There are many thousands of good citizens everywhere who, with the Alt lanta Journal, feel the necessity for more business talent in congress. The ordinary politician who usually wins the prize is dominated by too many political influences and considerations to take calm, practical business view of affairs, even if he under stands fully the question at issue. Party pol icy and ofttimes questionable motives control him absolutely and his desire for reelection leads him to waste the public time in speech making and tha. introduction of innumerable meas ures. His thoughts are upon the po- litical rather than the business issues. except so far as the latter run into politics. We never see a strictly business" house or senate, either in our state or national legislatures.
 But is this fact not chiefly a.trib- utable to the modesty or indifference of the business men themselves? They hold aloof from the primaries and general conventions, they rarely of fer for office, often they refuse to vota in the elections and are apparent ly content to leave public affairs ex- clusively ito the management of pro- feSsional men and politicians. In scores of the congressional districts in this country, we'll known business men could be nominated and elected to the national house if they would seek the distinction. They can not complain at the neglect of business questions by the politicians so long as business neglscts politics. It would be a consummation to be wished could we see the pillars of commerce and industry actively par ticipating in shaping commercial and industrial legislation, but the revolu- tiOn to such an emd must commence in business circles.

THE GREATEST SEAPORT.

Not every one is aware perhaps, indeed, only few knuW-tha,t New York now has the distinction of be- ing the greatest slsaport in the world in respect of the amou2t of tonnage cleared per year. Figures recently compiled and published prove this. however, conclusively. As long as twenty-five years ago it reached the third place on the list, beind led by London and Liverpool and followed immediately by Hamburg. It was not till last year that the American city leaped to the head. Hamburg mean while advanced to third place and Liverpool dropped to fourth. The or der now is: New York, London, Ham burg, Liverpool, the amounts of ton, mage cleared i'm a year being, respect lively. 20,782 ,53O, 15,5S2, ,19O, 12,745, ,OOO, 10,883 ,024. Whether this lead will be retained or not is perhaps question, Were it not for the rivalry of other American ports with New York it un- doubtedly would be, as our vast and growing country must continue to do more and monel over-sea business. But the increase of activity at one or two other American ports indicates that the business may be more cut LID hereafter

A larger navy is what the Emperor William is most concerned about .ac- cording to his speech to the reichstag a few days ago. It may not be the larg- est in the world, but it must be formid- able enough to protect German sub jects everywhere. This is unexception- able doctrine, but the bearing of Will liam's observations, as Cap'n Cutie would say, lies in the application of it. The recent episode in China shows that he has what some persons would consider an exaggerated idea of pro- tectdon. Nor does he give as much weight to the financial aspect of in creased naval armaments as the over-burdened German taxpayers are likely to give. A war lord is a costly luxury, whether on land or sea.

President Kruger of the TTansvaal is paternalist with a vengeance. He strongly supported motion in the volksraad, recently, to advance e50.- 900 without security to poor burghers, and though it was lost, the vote was only sixteen to eleven against it. There is very remarkable notion current in many parts of the world that almost everything may be in- cluded in the list of a governments legitimate functions.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The presidents message to the con- gress will be disappointing to the ar dent friends of Cuba who believe that the belligerency of the island patriots should be recognized by this country
 The presidents position undoubtedly will be endorsed by conservative peo- pie. He declares that Spain's answer to the representations of this country in Cuba's interest was not unsatis- factory and that time should be given Spain to put her plan of autonomy in- to operation. We haven't a-y faith in Spain's assertions ,and do not be- lieve the president has, but in the circumstances there is nothing to do but wait. We have the president s assurance that if Spain's policy does not change materially he will favor active measures on the part of our government. His attitude in the Ha- waiian matter undoubtedly is popu- lar. With Japan and Germany striv- ing Ito increase their strength in the Pacific it is obviously our proper course to control the Sandwich islands. The presidents suggestions regarding the currency are wise, but unfortunately the congress is so con- stituted that there is little hope of any currency legislation in this ses- sion. The republicans need a major ity in both houses to give the country currency reform. The president fa- vors the construction of hhe Nicar- agua canal and the further increase of our naval strength. His message is far from sensational and contains many wise suggestions

The Hill of Death.

The Smithsonian Institution scien-

prehistoric monument In the south
western states-maybc in all the coun-
try-is a black barren butte on tho
lower ella river, some fifty miles east
of Yuma. 1t is not wonderful from
any architectural standpoint. There
are no marvellous hieroglyphics nor
immense pieces of engineering work
which battle the minds of modern scien-
lists. 1t is but plain, bald, rocky
point. uglier and palmer for its sharp
contrast against the clear blue sky.
But 1t Is wonderful-because upon its
aerial heights. which look down over
the green vegas and rolling potreros,
are the white and bleaching bones Of
a band OF people who fought the last
fight for existence. No one knows
when this battle was given nor who
were the besiegers of the besieged.
There are evidences of mighty con-
fict, and the little mesa which tops
the mountain bears witness to the fear
fulness of the struggle by its carpet of
human bones. This point, which Is
known locally as La Iona de Muerte.
