John Philpot Curran was noted for his
powers of repartee and sarcasm. Many
of his good things in that line have come
down TO US through the century. There
could not be a better Testimony to their
worth; but. as most Of them are too well
known TO need repeating here I will SIM
ply give few that I have picked up in
out-of-the-way places. AT a dinner-tabie
in London the conversation turned on
public speaking. Curran stated that he
could never address an audience for
quarter of an hour without moistening
his lips. Il have the advantage of you
there, CuTran," said Sir Thomas Turton,
a pompous and pretentious member of
Parliament. Il spoke the other night in
the House Of Commons for Ave hours on
the Nabob of Dude. had never felt in the
least thirsty" THAT is very remarka
ble," said Curran, for every one agrees
that it was the driest speech of the ses-
sion"
One day Curran was walking past the
Parliament House in College Green, be-
fore the Bank of Ireland got possession
of it, with nObleman, who had promoted
the legislative union by his votes. 81 Won
der what they intend to do with that use
less building?' said the nobleman. For
my part I hate the sight of it." Il do
not wonder Al that, my lord" returned
Curran. who was an anti-unionist II
never yet heard of q murderer who was
not afraid of a ghost"
Curran, as will be seen from these anec-
dotes, could say mordant and cutting
things; but perhaps no man was insult
ed with such daleeticaI neatness and in
geniousness as Curran was by the famous
maker Of bulls" Sir Boyle Roche, in the
Irish House of Commons. 1.-THE honora-
BILE gentleman says he is the guardian of
his own honor" said Roche, in reply to a
speech of Curran; but, on the other oc-
casions l have heard him boast that he
was an enemy of sinecures." Curran was
defeated in a conversational contest with
Lady Morgan, the Irish novelist, one even
ing in that lady's drawing room, when,
exaggerating the prevailing fashion in
short sleeves, she wore merely straps over
her shoulders. Curran was walking away
from che little party who witnessed the
conflict of the two wits, when Lady Nor
gan called out; "Ah, come back, Mr..
Curran, and acknowledge that you are
fairly beaten" "At any rate said he,
turning round, II have this consolation,
Lady Morgan, that you can't laugh at me
in your sleeve

One complaint that has frequently been
made by critics of religion as pracdced
is that the churches are too remote from
the working people and fail to display the
active interest In their daily needs and ac-
tivities that would ensure a sympathetic
bond of union. If this charge were ever
justihable It is daily losing ground EYi-
dences multiply that the churches, regard
less of denomination, are working jealousy
to promote the best interests of the work
ing people, the mass of the population OF
any city or country. Interest Is shown
in their occupations, In their needs, In
their social life. and physical recrea tons.
Everywhere there are efforts to advance
the standard of life, Intellectual, moral
and material among the millions who earn
their living by hard labor. Church lead
ers are seeking to incuIcate the impression
that from them assistance can be looked
for at all times that their advice and
sympathy are at the command of the Ia
borer whenever he may need 1t and seek
it, In times of distress 1t is the churches
that as organizations are most jealous in
providing work and succor for the idle and
uilOTluudte.
In the past few years the inclination Of
the churches has been to go farther than
this and to act as medators in labor diff
culties. In several strikes Of unusual mag
nitude eminent clergymen have been op-
pealed to and have been Instrumental as
arbitrator in ablishlng amicable re-
lations. The duty of employers to those
working for them has become favorite
theme of ministers of standing and recog-
nized ability. Clergymen cannot be ac-
oused of being subservient to capital, Of
tempering the gospel to suit the
tender skins of ''grasping'' or
"tyrannicar captains of industry.
The rights of labor have been
as fearlessly presented by the ministers
of wealthy congregations as by those la
boring among the wOrkingmen themselves.
Some of the strongest advocates, the most
persistent supporters, of just treatment of
labor are to be found to-day in the pulpit.

.MANANA.v

Spain's peace commissioners keep say
ing Tomorrow" The Republican politi-
clans are laboring to create the impression
on American voters that Spain wishes to
delay In order to see whether or not the
people of this country will sustain the ad-
ministration in the approaching election
Ex-N Minister Woodford. Senator Lodge
and Col. Roosevelt are among those who
are most sedulously engaged in explain
ing, or processing to explain. what SPANS
"manana" means. Gen. Woodford as
serts that Spain would regard a Demo
cratic victory as an endorsement for
further representation and as a ground
for hoping that she might yet obtain at
least some of those things for which she
has been holding out. Senator Lodge de
clares that there is no doubt that a Demo-
cratic victory would stiffen the back
bone of Spain. Col Roosevelt says that
a Democratic victory would be equival-
ent to a vote of no confidence in the ad-
ministration's war policy Elihu Root
says Europe looks to our congressional
elections for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether or not the American people
approve Of the war and the demands made
upon Spain.
Such opinions or expressions. however,
will influence nobody except Republicans
who desire to think that way. Spain
knows, Europe knows, and the American
voters who are capable of thinking for
themselves know. that the war is not an
issue.
Spain is procra stinating. she is saying
Tomorrow, in the hope that something
will turn up. She has become a national
Mcawber. She sees England and France
on the verge Of war. She knows that a
war between them would in all probability
involve pretty nearly If Tot
quite the whole of Europe.
America, also, might be drawn
unwilingly into the maelstrom because of
her extended obligations. In the event OF
a general appeal TO arms there might be
some circumstances which would be to
SPANS benefit. She might secure allies.
She might be able to save her honor
and a few Islands A great upheaval in
national affairs could hardly harm her,
but might help her That is why Spain
is saying tomorrow. She Is not hop
ing for anything from the American cleo
tons, but is watching the European stu
alton with an anxious eye.

ASK HIM TO COME.

President Mckinley has never had
chance as yet to see any of our troops
leave for a foreign shore. During the
progress of the war, when soldiers were
being sent from Tampa and other ports,
his official duties a Washington rendered
il impossible for him to witness their en-
barkation. From the great interest he
has shown IN everything pertaining to the
troops II is evident that he would appre-
ciate an opportunity to personally inspect
a transport, examine the arrangements
made for the men, and satisfy himself as
to the provisions for their safety
and comfort while at sea. Should he visit
Savannah he could have this chance. The
pan for the movement of the army corps
now here to Cuba contemplates the en-
barkation of some regiments during De-
cember 1t would require no change Of
army plans and no extra effort of conse-
quence to have one or more transports in
readiness here at the time of his visit.
The regiments are equipped for their
change of location, the commissary stores
are here, and everything could be prepar-
ed 10 have a thousand or more men en-
bark during the Presidents visit to the
city.
Savannah would appreciate a visit from
the President, the soldiers of the Seventh
Army Corps would be eheered by the in
terest shown In them, and Mr. Mckinley,
we have no doubt, would gladly avail
himself of the chance to witness the de-
parture of some of them for their future
field of duty. 1t would be a mistake for
this city not to extend cordial official
invitation to the President and party to
come to il when his stay at Atlanta ends,
and be its guests for a day or two. Prop
ably be eheerfully accepted and the visit
be one full of interest to the head of the
nation and those accompanying him on
his trip South. Mr.. Mckinley, no doubt,
retains pleasant memories of the cordial
welcome given him on previous visit to
Savannah when he was Governor of Ohio
| and regarded as presidential aspirant.
No differences of section or of politics
were allowed to interfere with the warmth
of the reception accorded him then as a
distinguished American citizen. Coming
now as the incumbent OF the highest office
in the gift of the people. Savannah would
honor herself In the unbounded hospital
fly 1t would be her pleasure to extend. BY
all means invite the President.

GEORGE E. wARING.

Col. waring died the death of a soldier
of science, with his face to the enemy
He went to Cuba to fight the yellow fe-
yer, and fell its victim; and therein the
fever won a notable victory. Col. Waring
was foe to be feared by 1t.
His untmely end will be sincerely re-
GREETED in this city, where, during his sew
eral visits, he made a number of warm
personal and professional friends. It will
also be a matter OF regret that the city is
deprived of his valuable services in con-
nection with the improvements about to
be carried forward under his plans.
Col Waring, who won his title on the
field of battle, was one of the foremost
contemporary sanitary engineers. His
works, monuments to his ability, are
scattered all over the country. He was a
leader In his profession, and was called
from municipality to municipality, and
from state to state, as principal or con-
sulting engineer in many of the most I'M
portant drainage and other sanitary works
constructed In this country during the last
fifteen or twenty years. The high order
of his ability was attested when the gov
eminent selected him to go to Cuba as its
commissioner on sanitary matters. Col.
Warning first came prominently into the
eye of the general public few years ago,
when he was made commissioner of street
cleaning of New York city. He revolu-
tionized the department, and is said to
have been the first commissioner who
ever gave New York clean streets.

Whose disposition was sublime;

Her face was always wreathed in smiles
Her gown were of the latest styles;

She always was so good and kind;
To all my faults so very blind
Il was this maldens beau
I thought il would be perfect bliss
II only one time 1 could kiss,

But now this girl Is sadly changed;
Her hair is always disarranged;
Her voice is not so low.
Her face, ! find, is wrinkled some;
She's very fond of chewing gum;
This girl 1 used to know.
MY faults she does not fail to find;
To keep them always in my mind;
She's not afraid or slow
A question always puzzles me

Protection Applied to Colonies.
From the Richmond Dispatch Dem.) }.

If the Filipinos are 20 become full-hedg-
ed American citizens. they will be enti-
tied to all the BENEFITS of our markets. and,
with unlimited Asiatic cheap labor, they
could do tremendous injury to the laboring
men and women of this country. The doc
trine of protection is unfair and harsh
enough when 1t deals with the products of
this country, as distinguished from the
products of foreign countries, but 1t is
vastly more so when we come to protect
ourselves from our colonies! Where shall
we get even the faintest constitutional
warrant for that?

WASHINGTON. December 15.-MaiOr-
General John r. Brooke testified before
the War Investigating Commission to-day.
He denied reports as to the unsatisfactory
condition Of affairs at Chickamauga.
General Brooke said that he had nothing
to do with the selection of the camp
ground, but being assigned there he made
it his business to look after the water
supply and to see that the necessary sani-
tary regulations were compiled with.
He said positively that the criticisms
Of the CaVe-Spring water supply were
groundless. He had made strenuous ef-
forts TO regulate the entrance Of hucksters
10 the camp, and as q result Of this he
said that the sick report fell off from 80 to
50 per cent Il deem IL proper to say

equipment Of the volunteers when they
reached the camp.
