lief that there will be lynching in Chicago
If the extension bill goes through, and he
adds: Il don't mind saying, too, that shall
not send in riot call when It starts
Illinois has fallen into bad ways. The
governor who pardioned the anarchists
harmed his state by his Indifference to its
best interests. The present governor by his
neglect of a plain duty caused bloodshed,
and now defes the court processes when it
is sought to punish him for his dereliction.
The mayor of the largest city. the metrop-
oils of the middle west. invites anarchy by
promising immunity to lynchers. The most
substantial citizens outline a program of
mob violence. The corporations resort 10
fasrantly criminal methods to secure legis-
lation. The aldermen accept bffbes openly
and greedily and quarrel with their masters
because newcomers in the corporation ring
are paid higher prices than are the old,
tried boodlers.
The intensity of the public resentment
against the Doodle ring is already said to be
producing It's effects. Recantations of pur-
pose to vote for the extension bill are being
published. Religious social and business
influences are being brought severely to
bear upon individuals. The children of the
boodlers are taunted at school with the
shame Of their fathers. Wives are becom-
ing hysterical under the fierce scorn of an
aroused society. Indeed, if the statements
recently emanating from Chicago are true,
that city is passing through an ordeal
which, in spite of the evil and dangerous
conditions that have developed, may result
in one of the most wholesome publications
of many years.
1t is already suggested that the corpora
tions, fearing to grasp their victory, are
willing to compromise. aud that the extern
SONS may he granted cut in half, with Sc
we're conditions added ensuring a substan-
tial return 10 the city treasury.

Pressing the Centennial Project.

The proposal to celebrate the centennial
OF the capital city as a national event is
rapidly taking satisfactory shape. The
President presented the matter clearly and
forcibly i'll his annual message, urging it
upon the favorable attention of Congress
as worthy of immediate action. In the
House that portion of the message was re-
ferred to the commi,uee on appropriations,
and in the Senate yesterday on motion of
Mr.. Hoar it was voted to create d special
committee of seven senators to take the
recommendations under advisement It is
not to be doubted that rom these COM
mittees propositions will soon emerge car
rying out the full intent of the President
with reference to the scope and character
of the proposed centennial. There are
three branches of the matter as it affects
Congress in its present stage. After it has
been decided to carry out the general pro-
gram TO celebrate the event, committees
must he appointed to represent the Con-
gress. steps must he taken TO secure the
cooperation of the various states and
money must be appropriated. The com
mttees designated to represent Congress
Will doubtless, acting in conjunction with
citizens of Washington and perhaps some
representatives of tho states, decide upon
weIghty matter, for it involves many con-
sideratIons. 1t should properly precede the
actual naming of the amount of money
which should he expended upon the project
Tor the pans now in mind vary widely in
their financial requirements There is
Therefore reason Tor prompt work in the
preliminary stages and the progress thus
lar achieved gives evidence that no time
will be lost.

Monroe Doctrine Not Repudiated
From the Rochester Democrat and chrcnie1e

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
The persistence with which the French
press urges that our acquisition of the
Philippines means a reputation of the
Monroe doctrine gives rise to the suspicion
that a wish is father to the thought We
think. however. that Europe will find that
the Monroe doctrine is still in force We
have invaded no sphere over which Europe
has any claim. When We enter the sphere
of European sovereignty it may be time to
talk about treating the Monroe doctrine as
obsolete lat will depend. however, upon
circumstances.

The Stars Honest Circulation Figures

The Evening Star Washington has for a
score of years, or even more, stood in the
foremost rank among papers that believe
the advertiser entitled to know the actual
circulation of the paper in which he buys
space. If any paper in the country has
been more exact open, honest and every
way above board on this delicate question
of newspaper ethics, the writer does not at
this moment recall the name.

GOOD TIMES AHEAD FOR ALL.
Gen. Gill Believes the south VIII Get
n Full share of Prosperity.

Gen. John b. Gill of Baltimore. presi-
dent of the Mercantile Trust and Deposit
Company, of that city, and director of
the Savannah Construction Company was
in the city yesterday.
The company Of which Gen. Gill is the
head is largely interested in the South,
having been instrumental in placing large
Investments in this section. For twenty
years, as Gen. Gill stated last night, he
has been a keen observer of the progress
Of the South in every department of ac-
tivity During that time he has seen its
stupendous strides in manufacture and
commerce. What has been accomplished
In this line, Gen. Gill believes, is but
an indication of what is to take place in
this section hereafter.
Il believe we are going to have an era
of prosperity in which the South win
largely share" said he. THE country is
ready for all forms of enterprise it is pre-
pared as never before to push its trade
into the uttermost parts of the earth, and
it has the capital and its Industries estab-
llshed on such a basis that it can and
viii successfully compete with any and al
nations wherever it goes. With the South'S
natural advantages it must partake in the
progress and prosperity that is generally
believed to be in the near future.
Capital is ready to flow this way again,
he continued, although there was a tenn
porary set back due to the free silver
craze. That ignis fatuus of hard times
is believed to have run its course and is
expected to be soon relocated to the rear
as an economic or political proposition
with support enough 10 make it danger
GUS theory. 1t is accepted that the craze
is dying out, and with that fear removed,
the tendency of capital is TO move freely
this way to a section offering good induce
ments for safe investments"
Gen. Gill believes that the South will
be benefited by the annexation of Porto
Rico. He does not conceal the fact that
he is an expansionist to the full extent
of this country's keeping everything 1t has
laid its hands on, both for its own good
and for the good of the people of the
different islands. 1t is his belief that there
viii be a large stream of travel, including
many Investors toward the West Indies
during the next few years, and that out
side of the benefits derived from the stop
ping over at Southern points of these trav-
elers many of them will be induced to in
vest here instead of in the islands re-
ferred to- He also expects much trade,
and that of a profitable nature, to spring
up between the Southern ports and the
chief markets of the West Indies.

RATES ON STANDARD BALES.
Georgia Export COmDany's Circular
as to Cotton Shipments.

The Georgia Export and Import Com
pany has issued circular regarding cot
ton shipments by its steamers, a copy of
which will be found below. 1t win be
seen that hereafter rates named on cot
ton will be for standard bales and that
when bales of cotton are not up to that
standard they will be inspected and meas
ured and the proportional difference in
the rate charged or, at the option of the
shipper, the bale will be recompressed at
his expense.
The standard bale was adopted as the
basis for rates at Galveston and New Or
leans last season and found of great adj
vantage in making shipments. Its general
adoption will ultimately tend to lower
freight rates, as 1t will enable ships TO
handle and store cotton better and there
by carry larger cargoes. The circular is
as follows:
Georgia Export and Import Company,
Savannah, Ga. Sept. 7, 1S9S.-Rates on cot
ton named for steamers of this company
viii be for standard bales.
1. That is, the bale is to be properly
and sufficiently banded and compressed
and delivered to the steamer with deus
ity of not less than 2212 pounds to the
cubic foot.
II. When bales are not up to this stand
ard, they will be inspected and measured,
when practicable, in presence Of the ship
per or his representative, and the proper
tional difference in rate applied or collect
ed from the shipper, or at option of the
shipper recompressed at his expense,
G.. NJ Sorrel, Manager.
Note.-The cotton box of 24X54 inches is
especially recommended as giving the best
dimensions for standard density and for
economical handling; and it is also urged
that bales be banded with eight hoops as
a better surety for the required density.
The company invites correspondence
with shippers Of large round lots of bales
from boxes of these dimensions.

FUNERAL OF MRS. sAUssY.
Tributes Paid to the Memory of "A
Noble Christian Woman.

The funeral services of Mrs. Margaret
G.. Saussy at Trinity Methodist Church
yesterday afternoon were largely attend
ed. Noticeable among those present were
many of the older citizens of Savannah.
The services were simple but solemnly
impressive. As the body was borne up The
aisle toward The pulpit, which, with the
chancel rail, was profusely decorated with
floral emblems manifesting in a slight de-
gree the love in which the deceased was
held, dirge was played by the Organist
and the pastor recited familiar scriptdral
verses After the singing Of the hymn,
How Firm a Foundation Ye Saints of
the Lord" by the choir. Rev. James o.
Branch, of Wesley, read the 90th Psalm.
Rev. O. F. Cook, of Grace Church, fol-
lowed, reading the 18th chapter of LIST Cor
rinthians. Rev. Eliot F. Morgan of the
Seventh Street Church then announced
the next hymn, Jesus Lover of My Soul,
which was sung by the choir
Prayer by Rev. j. o. Branch followed, In
which God was thanked for the blessing
tc the community in the beautiful Chris
tan life that had just ended. Children
from the Savannah Female orphan Asy-
lum then sang Beautiful, Beautiful, Beck
oning Hands, Calling the Dear Ones to
Heavenly Lands"
Rev. John H. Scruggs. pastor of Trinity
Church, made a short eulogy of Mrs. Saus-
sey. He desired to impress on all present
'the rich fortune of those who fall asleep
in the full assurance of faith with the
bright and blessed prospect of heavenly
eternal happiness" Mrs. Saussy, he SAID,
had in an eminent degree the richness ana
fullness of Gods grace bestowed upon her
Her entire life was enlarged, deepened,
richened by her love for Christ. He briefly
reviewed her life, stating that when 10
years old she had ul ted with the church
at Goshen, transferring her membership
to Trinity when she made her home in Sa-
Vannah. For more than seventy years she
had been a member of the Methodist
Church, for over fifty of which she had
been a jealous member Of Trinity. Her
faith was beautiful, her experience an in
SEPARATION to others. Through all her life
she had been active in Christian work.
never wearying in good doing, always to
be found at service, distinguished by her
absolute, implicit confidence in the guild
ance of Christ her childlike trust in His
promises, her fervent love for Him She
was hopeful, cheerful, encouraging in
convictions and thoughts, fun of the real
shirt and vjgor of life to the end. The
best commentary on her character is her
own life, lived out in one unvarying tenor
TO the end.
MY greatest desire on earth" said Mr..
Scruggs, lis to live such a life as she
lived, and to die as she died, with such
an assurance of heaven as she had"
Rev. j. o. Branch also paid brief tri-
butte to the dead. When he first met her.
he said. she had told him that she could
not remember the time when she had not
loved her Savior.
AS the choir sang Il will sing you
song of that beautiful land the body
was borne from the church. Many friends
followed 1t and witnessed the interment
at Laurel Grove Cemetery.
