possible to believe that the ad-
ministration, Congress, the pull
pit, and the people are waging
this war for revenge and for
nothing else, it ought to have pa
triotism enough to keep that be-
lief to itself. To dlsparage the
country's cause In a war time
to represent that cause as a low
passion instead of a high and and
noble impulse-is not to give aid
and comfort to the government.
To insult the clergy men with a
promiscous charge OF hypocrisy,

like to acknowledge that they
are applauding war for ven
geance merely, they would have
it appear that some loftier mo-

alike against patriotism and de-
cency.
1t was the patriotic tone of the
pulpit last Sunday which Inspired

know what particular Clergyman
offended most, but suspect that
itmay have been Bishop Vincent,
who preached on that day in De-
troIt. He said: Before war was

A weII-Founded Complaint.

A resident of Bryan county writes to
the Morning News as follows: I'VE were
pleased to read in the Morning News
the complaint against the Plant System.
No one who lives in town knows what we,
who live In the country, suffer for the
lack of accommodation. Everything Is
done for the Florida travel and as little
done as possible for us who live on the
road. We thank you most heartily for
your notice of the matter, and hope that
every now and then you will call atten-
ton to it,"
The people who live in the section of
country tributary to the Plant System
have very good reasons to complain. We
have no doubt that if they should bring
their grievance to the attention of the
Railroad Commission the Plant System
would be required to pay more attention
to their needs. AS the local trains in
Georgia of that system are now run it is
impossible for the people who are compell-
ed to use them to reach this city or to
return to their homes from this city with
any degree OF satisfaction
The management of the Plant System
doesn't appear to have any regard for the
interests of the people who live along the
lines of the system. The manner in which
the local trains in Georgia are run not
only retards the growth of the country
tributary to the lines, but it is extremely
hurtful to this city, because it keeps
away people who are accustomed to trade
here
We want to see the railroads prosper.
but the way to prosper is not by making
enemies 'of those upon whom they depend
for business Such injustice as that
! which the people suffer who live along
the lines of the Plant System is the basis
of the demand for hostile railroad legls-
lation. The people have rights as we'll
| as the railroads and one of their rights is
| that local trains shall be run with some
regard for their interests. They can have
/ theirs rights respected by making the
! proper effort.

INC nuslness sltnntion.

There is nothing to be gained politically
by stating that the country is no more
prosperous than it was two years ago.
Fverybody-that is everybody who is in a
position TO have an opinion about the mat
ter-knows that il is more prosperous
Therefore, when the Secretary of the
Treasury says there has been a revival
of industry he states what is very gener-
ally believed to be true.
No doubt there is depression in some in
dustries and there are a good many peo-
pie out of employment. but the depres-
sion is comparatively limited, and the
number of people out of employment is
small compared TO what it was immedi-
ately following the panic of 1898.
The revival in business and the indus
tries is not due to the Dingley tariff
That tariff has been, and sill is, hurtful
rather than helpful. Had there been 10
change made in the tariff the condition of
the country would be even more prosper
Gus than it is. The Republicans who claim
that the better times are due to the Ding
ley tariff are just as much mistaken as
those Democrats are who pretend to be-
lieve that there has been no improvement
in the material condition Of the country.
The cotton manufacturing industry of
New England is, it is true, in bad way,
but there are reasons why it is-reas0ns
which do not apply to other industries.
The wooden manufacturing industry, for
instance is prospecting, and the wages Of
the operatives in that industry have been
raised The cotton manufacturers Of the
| South are not complaining, though they
would be If the New England cotton man
ufacturers were suffering from a general
| depression of business. The farmers Of
! the West are smiling because they are
! getting good prices for their crops but
the farmers of the South are grumbling
because the price of cotton is below the
profit line. The price of cotton is not
low, however, because of hard times. but
because the supply of cotton is greater
than the demand for it. The price of
wheat is high, Notwithstanding our big
crop, because there was a failure in the
wheat crops of other countries.
The incomes of the railroads, the volume
of business transacted and the activity in
our mines and most of our factories all
indicate that times are much better than
they were. Still there is room for inn
| proVement.

The East and West LOngmeadow Fox
Club has a limited membership of half
dozen men and as many hounds, says the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican. They
have captured twenty-six foxes since Oc-
tober. Answering s question recently
from the village blacksmith as to what the
hounds were doing the day before on the
replied: I'VE got fox up soon after put
ting the dogs at the foot of the hill by the
sulphur spring. They started east on
Min Hills, but soon came back, and en-
to the meadows, and away over the river
on the ice, while we kept them in hearing
most of the time from the bluffs. Return
ing, however an hour or SO later, and be-
ing pushed pretty hard by the dogs, the
fox-he was an old chap and a cunning
one-coming to the railroad again. took to
the rail to bother the dogs, and kept the
course for more than a half mile, with
out leaving a track in the snow, as far as
we could discover. On the iron rail, you
know, the fox leaves but little scent, es-
pecially after a train has passed over 1t.
That is when you heard the dogs. They
were Just figuring out where the fox left
the rail. The dogs found it themselves
at last, without being caught up by a
train. That old fellow is now through
with his little games. We got over on the
river bank in his way and bowled him over

over the river again, where he belonged.

queer Freaks of Memory.

Yesterday afternoon, says the New York
Sun. while number of mem were waiting
at Sears book store for the New York
papers, a prominent business man offered
a bet, which was promptly taken by two
or three of the merchants present that
out of the first twenty men who entered
the store not five of them could tell who
ran on the Democratic ticket for Govern
or against Black. Mr.. Sears was appoint
ed questiOner, and the fun began. The
very first person to enter was we'll
known Democrat, and when Mr.. Sears OUT
city asked him who ran on his ticket for
Governor at the last election, he stammer-
ed, suffered, scratched his head, and,
after much confusion was compelled to
admit that he had forgotten. The next
twenty-three were likewise unable TO tell,
and two of them were gentlemen who
knew and could discuss the silver QGes-
ton in all its phases. It was really conf
cal to note the embarrassment occasioned
by the question.
After the wonderment at such ignorance
had subsidized. the same gentleman offered
to wager the cigars for the party that
out of the next ten visitors there would
be at least two who could not tell who
was the Vice President of the United
States.
Strange as it may seem, he won the bet
and had one to spare. The merchant who
made the bets said that during some po-
litcal conversation he was asked who
Gov. Blacks opponent was, and he could
not tell.
Il have a pretty good memory ne said,
"and when 1 could not answer the ques-
ton until 1 referred to the almanac,
made up my mind that there were others.
1 have won enough cigars to last me a
couple of months on those questions, and
I'll win more, too"

Politics and Currency Reform.

There is no probability that the cur
rency reform bill of the Indianapolis
Sound Money Convention, or any other
bill of a like character, will be consid-
cred by Congress at its present session.
The Indianapolis plan is the product of
a great deal of thought and investigation,
and it has much to recommend it, but some
of the ablest bankers of the country are
prepared to oppose it II it should get
before Congress. They say if the plan
should be adopted it would be possible
for lot of INSCRIPTIONS men 70 organize
wild cat banks in different parts of the
country, and make the solid and safe
banking houses sustain them or let the
v hole banking scheme fail.
If this objection to the Indianapolis
banking plan is valid one il is evident
that il stands very little chance of being
reported favorably from the committee
on banking and currency. The authors
o. that plan are good business men, but it
is not improbable that they are not quite
so well acquainted with the banking bust
ness as practical bankers are.
But there is no probability that either
that plan or the plan Of the Secretary OF
the Treasury or any other currency re-
form plan will get before the House at
this session, however strong the pressure
for currency reform may be. The Repub-
lican leaders have practically decided that
it wouldn't be good politics to have the
financial question discussed on the eve Of
the Congressional elections. They are OF
the opinion that the injection of the silver
question into the Congressional campaign
would be damaging to their chances for
getting control of the next House. There
fore, they don't want the money question
brought forward in the House at this
time
BY adopting such a policy the Republic
cans will lose more friends than they will
make. A great many thousands of Dem
ocrats voted the Republican ticket at the
last national election, because they be-
lieved the Republican party would do its
utmost as soon as 1t got into power to re-
form the currency and strengthen the gold
standard. If the Republicans refuse to
take up the money question at this ses-
sion of Congress the sound money Demo-
Gratis Will lose confidence in them, and
will vote with their own party at the Con-
gressional elections. BY avoiding the
money quest ton therefore the Republicans
are likely to lessen their chances for re-
tanning control of the House

The Mckinley GOO.

1t is estimated that GOO Democrats of this
city-the most of them being business men
on Bay and other business streets-voted
for Mr.. Mckinley. Col Deveaux, however,
did not influence them to vote for him.
They voted for Mr.. Mckinley, not because
they approved Republicansm, but because
they disliked Organism. They had no idea
that Mr.. Mckinley would express his APP
probation of the assistance they gave the
Republican party in Georgia by putting a
negro into the principal federal office of
their city. If they had suspected anything
of the kind they might have hesitated TO
lend the Republicans helping hand. Still.
having stood by Mr. Mckinley they may
have some influence with him. They
should try to find out whether they have
or not. Let them get together, openly or
quietly, and petition the President 10 beg
his friend, Senator Hanna, not to insist
upon the appointment of Col. Deveaux as
collector of our port. Senator Hanna, who
has just bought, bribed or bulled the Ohio
legislature into giving him a full term in
the United States Senate. may grant the
Presidents request, and give Col. Deveaux
some other place in which color is not an
objection.
