Atlanta win never be satisfied until she
has saddied upon the state the expense of
maintaining a soldiers home, She has a
building which was constructed for that
purpose, and which the state refused 10
accept and she has $4,000 eft from the
fund collected for the entertainment Of
the Confederate Veterans Assu citation. 1t
is said, however, that It would require
all of the $4,000 to pay the liens on the
home. 1t would not be surprising if it
would require more than that sum.
We do not know how much annually IL
would cost to maintain the home but 1t
is probable that the amount would be
quite large. Judging from the outcry that
is being made against the increase of the
rate of taxation and the demand for
economy, 1t is doubtful If the legislature
could be induced to increase the appro-
priation for the veterans. That appro-
priation is now about as large as the
amount appropriated by all the other
Southern states for Confederate veterans.
1t is SO large mat it necessitates a very
considerable increase in the rate of tax
alton. The people are not complaining of
what they have obligated themselves to
90 for the veterans, but they are not
likely to increase these obligations until
they are better able to do so.
1t has not been more than a week since
Atlanta held great meeting to protest
against the high rate of municipal tax
alton. Al that meeting it was stated that
the main ground for complaint was the
high assessment for state purposes. and
yet here we find a movement an Atlanta
which, if successful, would necessitate
a still higher assessment, or an increase
in the tax rate for state purposes.
A big effort was made once to get the
state TO accept the so-called Soldiers
Home building. and it failed, first, be-
cause it would accommodate only limit.
Ell number of veterans and, second, be-
cause the vast majority of veterans would
rather remain with their friends, living
on the small pension paid them by the
state. Atlanta is not, of course, to be
blamed for wanting the state to take the
building and maintain it as a home. but il
is doubtful il she win succeed in getting
the legislature to crafty her in this mat

Gen. wheeler in Advance.

At the battle of New Hope Church, says
the San Francisco Argonaut, Gen Walker
sent Maj. William H. Ross, who was on
his staff, TO ascertain from Gen. Wheeler,
who occupied an advance position, what
was in his front. He found the general on
his horse, with one leg over the pommel of
his saddle Saluting him, Maj Ross said ::
Gen Walker intends TO make a charge
at this point, and would like to know if the
enemy has a masked battery in front of
us"
Il don't know, major" Gen. Wheeler re-
Piled but 1 can soon find out and swing
ing into position in his saddle, he galloped
up to a slight eminence, accompanied by
Maj Ross and his staff, and planted a gui-
don.
A moment later puff of smoke in the
distances and the suffering of a shell as it
flew over them, showed what was ahead.
Turning to Maj. Ross, the general said.
Give Gen. Walker my compliments, and
say there is a masked battery in front of
US" Maj. Ross ventured the remark tina
it was a rather risky way of unmasking a
battery.
The first shots always fly high" was
the coof reply; its the shots that follow
thai are dangerous"

Mr. Hosan,s Charge.

Mr.. James II. Hogan, the Populist can
dlaate for Governor, will cease to be an
interesting campaign speaker now that his
charge against Hon. Steve Clay has been
shown TO be practically without founda-
ton. He began his campaign apparently
under The impression that he had a lot Of
ammunition that was sufficient to knock
the founda tion from under the Democrat
ic campaign managers. The charge that he
made was that Mr. Clay, who managed
the guberna torial campaign for the Demo-
cratic party TWO years ago, persuaded Hon.
r. L Hardeman TO borrow $4,000 with
which TO carry on the campaign, and that
Col. Hardeman, having died, Mr.. Gay re-
fused 10 pay back the money, and that
Col Hardemans widow had to pay 1t.
Mr.. Clay denied having obtained any
money for campaign or any other pur-
poses from Col. Hardeman, and demand
ed Mr.. Hogan's authority for the charge.
1t appears that Mr.. Hogan based his
charge on something that a son of Col.
Hardeman said, but this son, in letter,
tells Mr. Clay that his father never said
that he had borrowed $4,000 or any other
sum for Mr.. Clay as chairman of the DEM
ocratic executive committee of the state,
and that he had no ground for thinking
that his father ever got any money for
Mr.. Clay for campaign purposes. He did
tel Mr.. Hogan that his father had spent
a great deal of money in various cam
paigns, and that his mother had paid out
considerable money for his fathers debts
since his fathers death. That appears 20
be about the sum and substance of what
the Hon. r. U. Hardeman's son told Mr..
Hogan If he told him nothing more, the
Popuiist candidate must have very vivid
Imagination to have elaborated it into the
very remarkable charge that he made
against Mr.. Gay.
Mr.. Hogan must have been very hard
up for something TO fire the Populistic
heart to have made so much out of the
conversation which he had with the son
of Col. Bob. Hardeman. AS mat
ter of fact the Populist candidate for Gov
ernor hasn't much of a message to de-
liver to his followers-at least they do not
consider it "a very interesting
from the very cool reception that he is re-
celving at the various places he visits The
people are not hocking to hear him, and
that is very good reason for thinking that
they don't care to hear him. When they
fully understand the bad break he has
made at the very beginning of his cam
paign they will feel less interest in him
than ever.
1t is regrettable that the Populists do
not seem to realize that their party in this
state Is practically dead. Tom Watson ad-
mitted, virtually, that 1t was dying when
he refused to be its candidate for Cover
nor. The Populist leaders ought to he
frank with the members Of the party and
tell them that there is no hope for the
Populist party either in this state or else
where, so that they could drop back into
their old places in the Democratic party.

Davis, Frank TaIk.


At least one of our members Of the Paris
peace commission does not hesitate TO
speak frankly as TO what course we should
pursue in respect 10 the territory captured
from the Spaniards. In an interview in
New York on Monday, Senator Cushman
K. Davis said that he was in favor OF re-
tanning all Of the territory which we
have acquired by our victories. He takes
the position that Providence has stepped
in to point out The future course for US"
OF course, he will follow the instructions
given the commission by the President,
but it is a question whether he was moi
selected as one of the commissioners be
cause it was known that he favored keep
ing all the territory over which our flag
has been raised. If that be the case, the
President probably has come to the con-
clusion that it is the will OF a great ma
jority of the people that we shall retain
possession of the Philippines. The other
members of the peace commission have
not. as far as we know. expressed any
views as to what our policy should be in
respect 10 those islands, but it is not inn
probable that the majority Of them agree
with Senator Davis. In that event, it is
practically settled that we shall demand
all of the islands.
We believe that il would be a great mis-
take to insist on anything more than
coaling station and certain commercial
privileges in those far away islands, but
il would be better to retain all Of them
than to take only one, and that one the
most important OF them. 1t has been as
serted that the President will instruct our
commissioners to retain possession of Lu-
zon. With Two governments in the islands
there would be trouble there all the time.
Our methods of government are. so diff
ferent from those of Spain that the two
governments could not get along together.
And the natives would not submit to the
divided responsibility. They would keep
the Islands constantly disturbed and OBJ
struct their development
Senator Davis not only favors retaining
all the territory which we have captured,
but he advocates a great navy and a big
army. lie speaks of China as the coveted
part of the earth's surface, and leaves the
impression that we ought to be ready to
grab share OF Chlnas territory in the
event of the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of that en-
pire.
There are many who are in full sympa-
thy with these views of Senator Davis.
They are views which are leading the ma
ton in the wrong direction. 1t may be
that at this particular time the majority
Of the people are in favor of a policy of
expansion and of an army and a navy
that would encourage US to extend our
territory whenever we had the semblance
of an excuse to do So but when the mat
ter is put before them fully, as it will be
in all probability in the very near future,
the chances are that the majority will be
against burdening the people with taxes
TO maintain great naval and military es-
adjustments in order to protect far dis
tant territories from which there is little
