NO NEW BARROoMs WANTED.

The coming of the soldiers of the Sew
enth Army Corps to Savannah has put
many people on the qui vive to turn dol
lar as a result of the presence of the SOL
diers. There can be no objection to legiti-
mate enterprise in proper channels. But
there is abundant room for objection TO
the accumulation of coin through the es-
adjustment Of barrooms in the neighbor-
hood of the camps
The establishment Of a barroom just
outside the city limits would be Illegal
1t would be a violation of well-known
state law, punishable under the INSIDE
meanor section of the code
The charter Of the city of Savannah gives
corporate limits. Police jurisdiction
means not only authority to arrest crimi-
nails and suppress disorder, but 1t means
that the city IS given control within that
limit of all barrooms and taverns and can
license such places or not as it sees fit.
Based upon this right of the city, there
will no doubt be numerous applications
for license for mushroom barrooms to be
established just beyond the city limits IN
close proximity to the camps.
1t happens fortunately, however. that
there is a state law, passed in 1891, subse-
quent to the city's charter, which forbids
the establishment of any barroom, or the
sale of liquors in any manner in the state
of Georgia within a radius of three miles
of any church or public or private school
house; excepting. Of course, within the
limits of Incorporated cities or towns. 1t
makes no difference under the law wheth-
err the church is within or without city )
limits. If the site of the proposed bar
room is within three miles of church, the
law makes it illegal to sell liquor there.
The law is so clear that it can hardly be
misconstrued.
This being the case, the duty of refusing
licenses to such parties as desire to esta5-
lsh barrooms outside the city limits or
lear the camp lines. is clearly put upon
the city. The city authorities are in duty
bound to uphold the state laws and to pre-
vent as far as may be possible
any violations of them. They cannot,
therefore, consistently grant a license 10
a party to do a thing which under the state
laws would be illegal. If this principle Is
adhered to as 1t should be, there will be
no barroom within more than a mile OF
either of the camp sites.

He Knew His Habits.

The following anecdote is given by an
Indian officer, to the London Truth as il
Illustrative of the manners and customs of
the willy Pathan. A certain general and
his staff, while vending their way through
one of the narroWest valleys of Tirah,
were annoyed by the attentions of a soli-
tary marksman who from time to time
sent a bullet unpleasantly close. At last
the general sent his orderly-a Pathan
sowar-and told him to dismount, take
his carbine, and try and stalk the noun
taineer. The sowar started off and pres
emily there was a crack, and a gray
bearded old Afridi tumbled headlong down
the mountain side. The sowar returned
and fell into his place. "Well done!'
said the general But how on earth cid
you manage it so easily?" oh" re-
piled the sowar, II knew his habits. He
was my father"

TOO LATE TO ARBITR ATE.

There should have been no peace pro-
tocol. and 10 peace commission. The war
should have been brought to an end with
a treaty of peace, stating all of the terms
plainly Having no alternative, Spain
would have sigred such a treaty as read
ily as she signed The protocol. However,
all OF that is of the past. Spain may re-
gard the protocol and the commission as
concessions to her if she likes, but if she
is expecting still further concessions. in
the way of submitting to arbitration
points which may be disputed between her
commissioners and those of the United
States. she is doomed to disappointment.
The refusal Of the American commission
ers to consider proposals TO arbitrate radi-
cal differences has aroused adverse COM
ment on the part of the Paris press and
has caused the Spanish commissioners to
send to Madrid for new instructions. But
the effect upon the American commission
ers will be nil. Their position will have the
support Of their own government and peo-
pie.
The time for arbitration Is past. The
United States might have acceded to such
"A piOltbSltiou before tHc war WHen lHGy
requested Spain to put an end to the hor-
rors of her war in Cuba At that time,
however Spain said that she was attend
ing to her own business in her own way,
and that she would continue to do so; that
she had nothing to arbltrate Now the
United States are attending to their bust
ness. of granting peace to Spain, and they
will follow their own inclinations in the
matter.
1t is reasonable to assume, from the re-
cent speeches of the President and from
other evidences, that the minds of the
President and his advisers respecting the
terms of peace with Spain have already
been made up. It has been determined
what demands win be made upon Spain
whether she will have to give up the Phil
ippines as wen as Cuba and Porto Rico
and Spain must accept that determination.
There is nothing else for her to do. There
is nothing to arbitrate.

looking longingly up into his honest blue
eyes. After a moments silence she urged
Yes, but. John, dearest, you haven't told
me when it was"
oh" he answered, 81 thought you had

COL. BRYAN AS AN ISSUE.

Political partisans in Omaha have been
ndulging in a somewhat spirited fight with
Col. Bryan, of the Third Nebraska Regi-
ment, as an issue. Some of his friends,
as represented by the Nebraska Independ-
ent (newspaper), have been charging the
federal government with mlsuslng him
for political reasons. 1t was asserted that
Col. Bryan went to Washington for the
purpose of securing the furlough of dying
men of his command" and while there
was taken seriously i'll and confined to his
bed While he was thus Ill, says the In
dependent the administration took ad-
vantage of his helpless condition and or
dered him back to Jacksonville, to have it
appear that he was derelict in his duty as
a SOLDIER Taking this view of the mat
ter, the Independent was corresp ondingly
wroth and said some things about "das-
tardIy crimes for political purposes" and
depths of infamy to which Republican
leaders can descend"
On the other hand, the Republican news
papers of Omaha have been pouring
some hot shot into Col. Bryan, and de-
Tending the administration. They point
out that Gov. Holcomb declined to request
that Col Bryan's regiment be mustered
out when he was invited by the war de-
partment to name a Nebraska regiment
to be relieved of service in order to reduce
the states quota to its right proportion.
AS a climax to the controversy comes
the official statement from the war depart
ment, published in our dispatches yester-
day. Adjt. Gen. Corbin declares that Col.
Bryan has shown himself to be a model
soldier; that he has made no requests and
asked no favOrs, but has gone about at
tending to his duties as a we'll balanced
man in his position might be expected to
do. He has asked no indulgence what
ever, hence none has either been denied
or granted. What the effect of this state
ment will be upon the Omaha controversy
remains to be seen. To an outsider Ii
would seem to indicate that each side had
INDUCED In a good deal of reckless cross
firing. Meantime, Col. Bryan has receiv-
ed an excellent Endorsement from the war
department. He is model soldier. ,"
That is very high praise.

says the Kansas City Journal. President
Lincoln recognized this mistake before
anybody else, but he consoled himself by
joking about it, 1t is recalled that on one
occasion, when one of these superfuous
generals was captured by the enemy, with
a number of men and horses, somebody
undertook to condole with the President
on the subject, remarking that the loss of
the captured generals service was a great
misfortune to the government.

LOOKS LIKE VAN WICK.

Had the election in New York taken place
one week after the nomination of Col.
Roosevelt there is scarcely room for doubt
ing that he would have been elected. If
1t were to take place within a day or TWO,
the best opinion in New York city is that
Judge Van Wyck would be elected The
election is still a bit more than two weeks
off, and great many surprising things
in politics may transpire in two weeks.
hence how New York will go Is probemat-
zeal. Nevertheless there are strong evi-
idences calculated to induce a belief that
the Democrats will win by a substantial
vote One New York newspaper, indeed,
processes to have made a careful can
vass of the state and to have learned from
it that Judge Van Wyck's plurality viii
amount to 5000 or more. Newspaper
straw ballots, however, are far from con-
elusive or convincing.
better evidence of the political drift
is to be found in the perturbation of some
of the Republican leaders, and the appar-
ent apathy of others. Some of the lead
ers are said to be really frightened at the
outlook; so much so, indeed, that there
is movement on foot to have President
Mckinley go to Col. .Roosevelts aid. These
leaders have been watching the demon
STATIONS which have attended the Presi-
dents trip through the West, and they
think that If he were to visit New York
he could arouse enthusiasm enough TO
pull Col. Roosevelt through.
Col. Roosevelts speeches have been
found little disappointing to his mana
gers. Being a soldier fresh from the war,
he delights to talk of his battles and mis-
heroic Rough Riders. That Is all very
well in Its way. but it has nothing what
ever to do with the internal affairs of
New York; and while Col. Roosevelt is
talking of San Juan and Eel Caney and san
tlago, the Democratic campaigners ore
pouring hot shot into the canal steal"
the Raines law, and the thousands end
one other political sins which are charge
able to the Republican party. The vot-
ers of New York are just now more in
terested in state tax rates than they are
in army tactics. They are quite ready
and willing to throw up their hats and
cheer for the Rough Rider as a gallant
soldier. They are satisfied with respect
to his horsemanship and his marksman-
ship, but when it comes to a matter of his
craftsmanship, they are not sure but that
it is hampered by bad company.
The Democratic side of the campaign,
meantime, is characterized by snap and
enthusiasm. Judge Van Wyck is devel-
oping strength daily. The old cry of
tiger" on the part of his opponents is
not frightening anybody. He is known
as clean and upright man, and it is as
sured that he would give the state clean
and upright administration. That is what
is wanted by the people. Mr.. Croker pre-
diets 100000 majority for Van Wyck
