week ego. according to a special dis
patch in a Chicago paper, the Rev. Henry
Frank, Of Denver n. j.. dressed himself
'as respectable mechanic" and made
the round of number of New York
churches, to see how he would be received
as worshipper. According to the testi-
mony OF the reverend detective, he visited
five churches, In each of which he was
made aware of the fact that he was not
welcome. He presumes, of course, that
the lack OF welcome was due to the fact
OF his poor clothes. The probabilities are
that the Rev. Henry Frank was looking
for sensation and an opportunity to get
his name into print rather than for places
In which workingmen were welcomed In
houses Of worship If that is correct, the
chances are that he made himself obnox-
ious by his conduct, and the ushers of the
churches which he visited gave him to I'M
derstand that he was not welcome because
Of his false pretense and Objectionable
manner, and not because he was dressed
In workingmen's clothes. 1t does not al
ways require an X-ray apparatus to de-
tect a fraud.

Not Well Informed.

Mr.. Cunningham, the chairman of the
executive committee of the populist party
of this state, is quoted as saying that in
his opinion it is the policy Of the admins
tration to bring about a war between this
country and Spain for the purpose of draw
ing the attention of the people away from
the depressed condition of the country :"
Mr.. Cunningham must have a pretty bad
attack of the blues, or else he is talk
ing for political effect. Very little Is
seen nowadays in newspapers about the
depressed condition OF the country. In
the west, where the farmers have been
for wheat cattle and hog products, the
people appear to be quite prosperous
Here in the south the outlook is not so
bright because of the low price of cotton
The low price is undoubtedly due to the
large crop. Still business is gradually
improving, and there is hope that it will
grow steadily better.
There isn't an indication anywhere. so
far as we can see, that the admlnistra-
ton intends to bring about a war with
Spain. About all the dispatches from
Washington-those which emanate from
democratic, as well as repu blican sources
agree that this is a peace administration,
and that nothing will be said or done by
the President or congress that would have
a tendency to upset the business OF the
country.
Mr.. Cunningham is so much of a parti-
san that he cannot see things as they
are. If he could get rid of his populist
ideas, and see the situation as a fair
minded observer. he would give to the
newspapers views altogether different
from those he now expresses

ANNOYING Charges.

The charges which Mrs. FELTON, and the
Rev. J. \. Zimmerman have brought
against Methodist ministers of the North
Georgia conference are no doubt regard
ed as annoying by the conference, now in
session at Athens. Mrs. Felton's charges
are in an article which was published In
the Outlook. They are, in effect. that
there are favorite ministers in the confer
ence who succeed in getting the best ap-
pointments and. that some of the minis
ters do not pay their debts. The charges
made by Rev. Mr.. Zimmerman are that
some of the ministers do not pay their
debts and that others are altogether too
fond of the female members of their con-
gregations.
IL is unjust to the great majority of the
ministers to make general charges of this
sort, because it is impossible for the pub
lie to know who of the ministers are limo
cent and who are suspected. The charges
reflect upon all.
1t is probably true, as Mrs. FELTON, says,
that clique of ministers is sufficiently
influential to secure the best appointments
for its members, but 1t would appear
probably that the best appointments 90 to
the ablest and most popular ministers.
chiefly because the churches which pay
the best salaries insist upon having GER
tain ministers. They wouldn't be salts
fed with any other. The wealthy churches.
therefore, rather than the ministers them
selves, are responsible for certain minis
tiers getting the best appointments. 1t is
true probably that in all the conferences
of the country the complaint of favorite.
ism is standing one. The ministers who
have only ordinary intellectual qualfica-
tons think they have as much right to
the first class appointments as those hav-
ing ability of a high order and special fit
ness for preaching, but they seldom get
them because the people don't want them.
The wishes of the influential congrega-
tons have to be considered by those who
make the appointments.
1t may be true that some of the min
isters do not pay their debts 1t would
be interesting to know, however, whether
their failure to pay their debts is due to
the fact that they receive such small sal
aries that they cannot live on them, or to
a disposition to play the part of dead
beats. We are inclined to think that ev-
cry minister would pay his debts if he
could, and that those who don't pay them
fail to do so because their congr gations
don't pay them a living salary, or fail to
pay what they promised. 1t is a pretty
difficult matter for a minister who has
been receiving a salary of 81 200 a year to
live on one of 5000, and yet the itinerant
system of the Methodist church subjects
ministers to such radical changes of in
come.
Rev. Mr.. Timmerman's charges of i'm
morality while they may be well founded,
should not be given much consideration
until he furnishes the, names of the minis
tiers against whom the charges are direct
ed. If he is not prepared to give the
names he ought not to have made the
charges. The ministry should be kept as
free from scandals as possible

Gov. Black of New York is of the opin-
ion that If New York city is to retain her
trade she must do more hustling for busi-
ness than she has been doing during the
last few years. In his speech at the New
York Chamber of Commerce dinner last
Tuesday night, he said: There was time
when nearly seven-tenths Of the imports
and exports of this country were handled
in New York. That has gradually dimin-
ished until now II is scarcely half. Dur
ing thirty years last preceding 1895 the for
eign commerce of New York shrank from
fifty-nine to ffty-one per cent, while Bos-
ton, with a smaller harbor, with no rivers
or canals has during the same period dou-
bled hers. Boston has done her best, and
New York has not. And IL has often hap
pened in the world that in time the best
efforts of the weak surpass the Indifferent
efforts of the strong In those days of
fierce competition trade doesn't go to a
city simply because it may have few spe-
cal advantages. 1t must be solicited, and
concessions must be made to get II. New
York's trade has been slipping away from
her, while she has been thinking it would
continue to come to her without an effort
on her part.

Congressman Dalzell of PENNSYLVANIA is
quoted as saying that no radical legis-
lation need be looked for during the ap-
preaching session of congress. mot even
on the currency question" AS a matter
of fact, nobody looks for any legislation
on the currency question; but the query
suggests itself, what does the republican
party regard as radical legislation" A
year ago we We're told that the repuhl.-
cans proposed to pass merely a moderate
tanH bill-just revenue raiser, that was
all; and then the republicans went to
work and passed a bill which throws even
the Mckinley iniquity into the shade for
radicalism.

The Leather Betting Manufacturers
Association yesterday raised the prise of
their product to consumers % per cent.
This is direct consequence of the re-
publican tariff tax on hides, and is so an

freshing. The leather betting manufac-
turers do not beat about the bush or
search for other pretexts. They come out

The kicker.

from the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegra
Kicking in the morning,
Kicking oil the day,
Kicking If he's busy,
Kicking at delay,
Thus the chronic kicker
Fills his life with woes,
browning, grumbling, wrangling,
Everywhere he goes.
Nothing ever suits him,
Always finding fault
Every kind of pleasure
He is sure to halt.
Scownng at the children,
Growing at his wife;
Turning peace and comfort
Into constant strife.
Kicking IL the weather
Happens to be dry;
Kicking when the rain is
Tumbling from the sky.
Kicking in the summer.
Heat has then no charm;
Kicking in the winter,
Then he'd have it warm.
Kicking every meeltime,
Glaring at the meat:
Often he is saying:
Nothing fit to eat"
Kicking when he's reading,
Grumbling at the light;
Now and then denouncing
Everything in sight.
Kicking in the morning,
Kicking all the day;
Kicking in the evening,
Kicking should he pray.
Kicking while he's thinking,
Kicking when in bed;
Wonder If he'll keep on
Kicking when he's dead.

negotiating with the great powers for a
permanent occupation of Kiao Chou bay,
China, as a naval station. The bay it
will be remembered, was recently captur-

Remove the Obstacles.

Inc thorough drainage of the section of
the county Immediately west of the city
is of SO much Importance that special eff
forts Should be made to use the Ogeechee
canal for drainage purposes. The county
engineer thinks he has found objections
to the use Of the canal as a drain without
further concessions from the Central rail-
road, which owns ii. - 1t may not be a
difficult matter to get the concessions
which are wanted. 1t is well known fact
that the Central as willing to do almost
anything it can to aid in increasing the
healthfulness of the city. 1t is important
to it that the city shall grow and prosper,
and 1t Is pretty certain that it will do all
it can to assist the city's growth.
We are pretty well satisfied that If the
county commissioners go about the mat
ter theoretically they will get from the
railroad the concessions they consider
necessary in order to make the canal an
important part of the drainage system of
the county.
We have pointed out many times the need
of better drainage on the western side of
the city, and we shall continue to urge
that drainage work be done there until
that section is made as dry as it is posi-
bic to make it by means of canals and
bitches. Council is about to spend a great
deal of money in giving the city a good
system of house drainage. The city should
Insist that the money she pays for county
drainage should be spent in draining the
lands adjacent to her limits The highest
possible degree of healthfulness is what
she wants and good drainage will go a
long way towards giving 1t to her.
