There is every indication that Con-
gresham Moody Of Havarhill is the
coming man" of Massachusetts con-
gressional delegation. He has the cour-
age to confront Speaker Reed or Gov
Dingley, when he sees occasion, as in
the instance Of the distribution Of money
for rivers and harbors; also to hold up
the majority of a committee, when he
thinks a wrong decision has been made
in a contested election. Mere obstinacy
seldom helps a man, and chronic conn
bativeness is a stumbling block; but
Congressman Moody has not only had
the courage of his convictions "a trait
that wins admiration almost every
where), but he has the logic and the
oratory to persuade the majority that
he is in the right. Hence it is that
he so often wins his case and his in
huence grows. His eminent fairness,
too, has added to the esteem in which
he seems to be held.

Almost simultaneously with the inn
portation of gold, comes the announce
ment that foreigners are buying Amer
lean securities in larger bulk than at
any time for two years past. 1t is Gu
rious to see, also, that at the same time
it is reported that ''the Jews" of Paris,
alarmed by the Dreyfus-Zola incident,
are transferring their capital to London
and are investing anew in British and
American securities. All these facts
are interesting, as indicating that finan-
ciers abroad are not very seriously i'm
pressed by the war scare, and that they
have sufficient confidence in our country
and government to take advantage of
the recent drop in stocks. Some of them
are perhaps buying back securities for
higher price than that for which they
sold them, some months ago

1t is the opinion of Mr.. E. G. Dun
nell, the Washington correspondent of
the New York times, that John D. Long
is "the most forceful man in the whole
cabinet" having 'ably seconded the
efforts of the president" and given ''no
sort of encourag cement to the talk about
an unavoidable war" 1t is hard to re-
call time when a president has made
mistake in choosing cabinet officer
from Massachusetts. The soil and at
mosphere of the commonwealth breed
observation-disclosures and fertilize it in those
who come from other states to make
their home here.

peculiar views of marriage, of litera-

views of human brotherhood of the
beauty of simple living, were among

The diver who was sent to Key West
from Havana, sad to say, was dismissed
the service for stealing from the sail
ors' chests that he found in the wreck
of the Maine. That there was tenlpta-
ton to theft is shown by the finding of
$1,000 in one of these chests, the savings
and probably the little all OF some poor
jack tar. A court martial is said to

weekly Bulletin Shows Them to BE
HiEhIY PrOmisinG.


Atlanta, Ca, May 3.-The weekly crop
bulletin issued to-day by the weather bu-
reau, shows that the heavy rains and cool
weather during the first part of last week
has worked some damage to the corn and
cotton crops, and all growing vegetab les.
The warm sunshine of the past few
Gays has served to remedy this somewhat,
though, and 1t is thought that from row
on these crops will do well,
The outlook for the fruit crop is very
good, while meat and oat crops are en-
couraging.
In the southern counties the weather
was little cool at night in the early part
of the week, but the higher temperature
following the good rains has improved
crops considerably.
There will be good peach crop, out
comparatively few pears.
Watermelons are looking well.
There is some complaint of peaches drop
ping from trees
Corn Is looking well, but growing rather
slowly.
In a few localities cutworms are numer-
Gus.
Cotton has not made much progress on
account of cool nights; about all of this
crop has been planted.
Light frost on the morning of the 2Sth
did little or no damage.

BERNER SPEAKS AT auITMAN.
Makes Lame Reply to the Morning
News But a Catchy Speech.

Quitman, Ca, May 3.-Hon. r. L. Ber-
ner spoke in the court house to-day to a
fairly good audience during the noon re-
cess OF court. He opened his address by
referring to his speech made here in 1892
in defense of the Democracy against the
aggressions of Populism. He paid a brief
tribute to Hon. H. G. Turner, but added
that ne was not here to-day to speak for
Mr.. Turner, but to speak for Bob Berner.
His speech was about the same as he has
delivered al other points during the cam
paign Both Col Gambler and Judge At
kinson were criticised and ridiculed, but
Col Gambler came in for the larger share
of criticism. He denounced as a barefac-
ed campaign Islander that he was running
double with either Judge Atkinson or Col.
Gambler, and declared that he would rot
be a party to the fatal mistake of making
either Governor
In answer to the demand made by the
Morning News that he tell what railroad
in Georgia is now violating the law, lie
cited the case of the merchants of Ma
con against the Southern Railway, now
pending, and the editorial statement in
the Macon News, a Gambler paper, which
admitted that overtures had already been
made to Col. Gambler by prominent rail
roads in the state. He declared that the
Morning News should quit filling its pages
with these queries as long as these facts
were in existence
While the first part of Mr.. Berner's
speech was tame and forceless he warmed
up towards the finish and made good i'm
preston and a number of votes.
He was introduced by Capt. John G.
Mccall, who took occasion to announce
himself a candidate for the legislat ure
to oppose w. c. Wade who was already
in the field
Judge John Chandler of Atlanta is
holding Superior Court for Judge Han
sell this week. Judge Gambler has won
the admiration Of the people of the county
by his splendid ability as a judge and the
dispatch with which he has transacted
the business of the court.
Court will probably adjourn tomorrow

vided between three candidates for gov
ernor and no one can say which candi-

castle Comments.
Washington, May S.-What promised to
be an uneventful and undressing session
of the House was thrown suddenly, after
three hours consideration of private bills,
into a session of spirited speech-makine
among Democratic members that savored
much at times of acrimony.
The storm was precipitated by Mr. Lew
is, Dem, of Washington, who referred, in
the course of a speech, to the recent vote
of Mr. Cummings of New York in sup
port of the war revenue bill. with its in
corporated bond feature. He made refer
ence to Mr.. Cummings assertion that this
period was a time for placing country
above party, intimating that the New
York member had served the Republican
party and perhaps contributed to the sat
isfaction of unpatriouc monopolists and
capitalists.
This brought an imprisoned and patrl-
otto speech III reply from Mr.. Cummings
inIerspersed with some sarcastic comments
that intensified the interest and called an
outpouring of members from the cloak
rooms.
Mr. Clark, DEM, of Missouri, entered the
lists and proceeded to criticise unreserv-
edly the six Democrats who had voted for
the revenue bill on its final passage, and
questioned their Democracy.
Messrs. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts and
McAleer of Pennsylvania, two other Demo-
Gratis who voted for the bill, were heard

MONEY TO CARRY ON THE WAR,
Gage Declares Authority to Issue
Bonds n Necessity.

Bonds IA Necessity.
Washington, May. S.-The Senate COM
mittee on finance resumed its sitting this
morning at 1880 o'clock. hearing Secretary
Gage on the necessity for including in the
war revenue bill authority for the issu-
ance of bonds.
Secretary Gage told the committee that
the best estimates obtainable indicate that
for the next two months the war will in
crease the governmental expenditures
about 100000, ard by that time the en-
tire amount in the treasury. with the ex-
cepiion of the gold reserve, would be ex-
hausted and $50, 100000 Of the reserve also
taken.
Mr.. Gage also stated 1t to be his opinion
that the revenues would decrease on ac-
count of the war In view of these facts
he considered some authorization for the
issue of bonds necessary. He said no es-
innate had been made of the cost of the
war for a year hence, as no one could say
how long it would continue.
Secretary Alger told the committee that
he thought $50, coo, 900 would be sufficient
to meet the extraordinary expenses of the
war department for the next year Occa-
stoned by the Spanish war.
Secretary Long said he had not the
data upon which to furnish the committee
estimates for his department, but that he
would send communication covering the
points.
When the committee adjourned tonight
there was no certainty when the work en-
the war revenue bill would be concluded.
The democrats had not offered any of
their propositions, and the bond question
had not been taken up with a view of dis
posing of it. The Democratic members of
the committee do not appear as yet TO
have agreed on a substitute Cor the bond
provision. but the present indications are
that it win be tax on corporations.
