Joke on the Dogs,

The man who was doing the talking has
endured good many hard knocks while
making a successful way through the
world and, like most persons who have
survived such experience, has very decid-
ed opinions of his own, says the Detroit
Free Press. I've always regarded wo-
men as the weaker vessel" he said. "hut

a very remarkable person. don't believe
she could tell a Percheron from Ken

balky horse the other day after twenty
men and boys had been beating, kicking
and cursing the poor brute for half an
hour. The persuasion she used was a

began an argument through the fence

crashing through board into Sims ward
The whole neighborhood was soon engaged

That War Scare.

It is evident now that the talk of war
with Spain 10 which the newspapers gave
a good deal of space a couple Of weeks ago
had no substantial foundation. The admin
istration doesn't want a war with Spain
and the Spanish government doesn't want
war with this country. The answer of
the Spanish government to Minister Wood
ford note was read at the cabinet meet
ing on Tuesday. and there was nothing Of
an aggressive character In It, Some of the
dispatches sent from Madrid to this coun-
try about the time the answer to Minister
Woodford's note was expected were of a
character to lead to the belief that Spain
not only wanted war with this country,
but was actually preparing for It. Some of
these warlike dispatches were intended
doubtless to influence the stock markets.
Whenever there was war talk the market
declined, hence It Is not unreasonable to
suppose that dispatches which threatened
blood and slaughter were inspired by those
who desired fall In the prices of stocks.
Even the staid and level-headed members
Of the New York Chamber of Commerce
were so alarmed by these dispatches that
they held a meeting and passed a panic
breeding resolution to the effect that the
government should take steps at once to-
wards strengthening the defenses of New
York harbor.
AS a matter of fact, Minister Wood
ford's note to the Spanish government,
about which so much was said, was not of
a character to offend the Spanish govern
ment or hurt Spanish pride. 1t wasn't
possible. therefore, for Spain to send
warlike answer to that note without over
stepping the bounds of courtesy.
The administration will not provoke a
war with Spain, but it is not possible to
say with any degree of accuracy what ac-
ton congress will take In dealing with
the Cuban situation. The indications are
that a friendly hand will be extended to
the Cubans unless Spain makes it clear
that she can restore her authority over the
whole island of Cuba within very short
time

We don't see why the city should spend
any more money for quarantine guards.
The fever has pretty nearly disappeared
from New Orleans and Mobile. and there
is not much. If any, of it left in Mont
gomery and Memphis. We doubt that
there are any yellow fever microbes trav-
cling about now. The weather is too cool
for them and, besides. it will be very
much cooler within the next week or two.
The mayors proclamation and the quar-
anune guards have served their purpose.
At present they only alarm and annoy peo-
ole without doing any good They should
therefore be withdrawn. What we want
now is freedom Of travel, so that people
many visit the city and do their fall trad

Of trade because of the fever scare and
the quarantine. and as the scare has dis

quarantine, should be removed.

over for this year the people of this city

which would insure them greater protec-

tarians agree that the scourge is less like

Hanna's Ambition.

There is a fair prospect that the ambi-
ton of Senator Hanna of Ohio, to succeed
himself in the United States Senate, will
bring about fractional fight among the re-
publicans of that state that will not only
defeat Mr.. Hanna, but will result in such
decentralization of the party as to serious
ly impair dts strength. The legislature is
republican by a very small majority, and
it will elect a republican senator, but I'M
less Mr.. Hanna succeeds In placating the
opposition to himself in his own party. he
will not be the senator.
During the recent campaign he acted
as if he thought he owned the republican
party of Ohio and ne paid but little re-
gard to the wishes of many of the local
leaders. Having been the manager Of a
successful national campaign, he seemed
to feel that he was a big political boss
whose will was law. He wanted his way
in all matters where there was a differ
ence of opinion, and he generally succeed
ed in having it. Consequently he made a
good MANY enemies who have long mem
cries. These enemies, it is alleged, will
do what they can to prevent him from
being elected to the Senate.
Gov. Bushnell and Senator Foraker were
understood to be friendly to him during
the campaign, but now that there is
chance to defeat him they are not show
ing intense desire to lend him a help
ing hand. The impression is that they
would like to see him eliminated from
the politics of the state and that If a
favorable opportunity occurs they will
join his enemies and do what they can to
defeat him.
MIR. Hannas defeat wouldn't be the
source of profound regret in Ohio or else
where He is a product of latter day pol
itics, which does not promise to be of BEN
eft to the country. From his point of
view anything can be accomplished with
money. Holding that view he is not a
cafe man to have in a place of influence
and power. If he should be defeated the
democrats of Ohio would feel their cam
paign was not a wholly fruitless one.

1t is announced that the old fight be-
tween the line and the staff in the navy IS

put the engineer officers upon an equal
footing with the gentlemen who tread the

engineers was brought about, in great
measure, through the personal efforts of

There are at present sixteen vacancies

Others will shortly be added. Here, then,
are eighteen openings for ambitious young
American doctors. The service for the
first two or three years does not pay a
great DEAL and the young saw-bones are
not taken into the inner circle of the nav
al officers right away; but after about
three years the pay is fair. the duties rea-
sonable, and the rank as high as a doctor
in love with his profession would care
about. There ought to be a number of
young medical graduates in the south,
who would like to serve Uncle Sam, see
the world, and probably secure pension
in old age.

The school Book Trust.

The message of the governor relative to
school books sent to the legislature on
Tuesday leads to the conclusion that there
is school book trust. If there is not a
combination of school book publishers it
is difficult to see how the publishers sue
coed in keeping the prices of school books
so high. We published yesterday the prices
paid to publishers for certain school books.
and the prices for which thoroughly re-
sponsihle publishing house offered to pub
lish them if given contract for the whole
state. The difference in the two sets of
prices is startling.
For instance, for Wentworth's Practical
Arithmetic, 65 cents is paid; the publish
ing house in question offered to furnish it
at IS cents Sanford's High Arithmetic is
sold at $1.O0. The publishing house offered
10 print and deliver it for "a cents. These
two samples are given to show what an
enormous profit there is in school books
There is of course, a royalty to be paid to
the authors of the books. but 1t is COM
paratively small-about 10 cents on 500
book and less for the cheaper books.
Would 1t not be advisable for the legis-
lature TO make an Investigation with the
view of finding out whether it wouldn't
be advisable for the state to make con-
tract with some publishing house TO pub
fish such school books as are needed to
supply the schools Of the state? OF course
to obtain books at the smallest possible
prices a pretty big contract would have to
be made, but the saving would be so great
that the state could afford to make big
contract

The Georgia Dairymen's Association fair,
TO be held at Macon on Nov. II and Is,
gives promise of being a great success. 1t
is believed that the exhibits will show
that Georgia can produce dairy products
as cheaply as any state In the union, and
enough of them for her own
use and to spare for several
of her neighbors. One expert has
made the calculation that in Georgia one
pound of butter can be produced for the
outlay necessary to produce two pounds Of
cotton Cotton is now worth less than
six cents, while butter is worth from TWEEN
~ to twenty-five cents Packages intend
ed for exhibition at the fair Will be return
ed to the owner free Of express charges.

A Dangerous Experiment.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd).

The report from Chicago that an Illinois
coal company intends to operate Its mines
with Chinese laborers, who will live in a
stockade protected by Calling gun and
guarded by 100 ex-policemen, is scarcely
credible. Such a project is unAmerican,
unbusiness-like and foolish. The company
certainly cannot expect to carry on it's
business permanently in that way, and
why adopt such an expensive scheme as
temporary expedient? 1t is to be hoped the
whole story is canard.

Mr.. Pierre Lorillard-a gentleman of a
name not unknown to fame and which is
suggestive of the pungent maccoboy of
the days when our fathers were addicted
to the bad habit Of tickling their olfac-
tory nerves with snuff "a practice, by the
way. quite as indefensible as the cigarette
habit of the present day)-is very much
Disguised with this country, partly because
of Tammanys victory in New York, and
to a greater extent because of what he
takes to be a growing spirit of enmity
toward rich people on the part of their
less fortunate fellow citizens in the north.
So great is Mr.. Lorillard's disgust accord
ing to report, that he Is seriously con-
templating removing his residence to
England.
No doubt there is a great deal in north
ern politics to disgust prosperous and
thinking men; but the wickedness of poll
ties is not, as Mr.. Lorillard- seems to
think, all confined to one party. AS a
matter of fact, the evidence would seem
to show that the republican party is re-
sponsible for the greater portion of the
bribery corruption and all-round badness
of northern politics. Be that as 1t may
however, there is unquestionably a good
deal of unrest among the rich people OF
the north. The future does not look very
promising to them. They note that the
politicians are prone to work upon the
prejudice against wealth in order to ad.
vance their own interests. But the rich
people of the north should not go to Eng.
land or the continent of Europe in order tc
get rid of the politicians and quiet theil
misgivings. Let them come south, among
conservative people.
There are, it is true. a few minor dis
putes in this section of the country, bu
they do not amount to anything, and neet
not disturb anybody's confidence in tn,
great future of the country anC
particularly this section. Their,
are few white toughs in tn,
south; and then there is the ever-presen
colored brother. but neither of these ele
ments of society are anarchists or com
munists nor do they desire to overtur
the government. Indeed, they have
wholesome regard for the government ant
a great respect for men of means AM
character. The other classes of southern
citizens, the overwhelming majority b!
far, are courteous and hospitable people
and warmly welcome newcomers having
energy, enterprise and capital
There are innumerable ways of enjoying
ones self in the south, if one has tn
wherewith to do it. Let Mr.. Lorillard
and others who are not satisfied with tn,
outlook at the north, come south and hell
us to develop the country, and live il
peace and security Money invested il
southern lands, or in developing southern
resources. will not only prove safe invest
ments, but will give the investors, whel
they come to know the southern people
better opinion of the American republic
and the stability of It's institutions.
