TIE SUNS silly ATTACK.

Hon. Rudolph Klebarg is
at his post Of duty in Wash
ngten, but he has friends in
the old saoestring district aho
will make it mighty interesting
for his opponent-Alice Echo
From the above we. infer
that Bro Booth IS an ardent
adnireF and supporter of
MIR. Kleberg, therefore. we
wish to ask him the following
questions:
+ Has Mr.. K!ebufg ever
made him a friendly calle
?. las Mr.. kleburg ever
written him a letter thanking
him for past services?
3. Has AIR. INeburg ever
subscribed for-the Echo?
i. Has Mir. KIeburg even
thought enough of the Echo

: Has Mr.. Kleberg ever
consulted him in any manner
regarding his campaign?
g. Has Mr.. Kleberg done
absolutely anything for the ben
eff of his district
7. EIas Mr. Kleburg been
sincere and consistent in any
of his actions?
8. Has Mr.. Kleberg dem
ohstrated that he possesses
even moderate ability?

WHIT for the Fncts.

Naturally the country is anxious for
wholly trustworthy information respecting
the cause of the terrible tragedy in Ha-
vana harbor. Everything bearing upon the
tragedy that is printed is eagerly read, but
there is no reason why there should be
any exhibitions of public feeling against
Spain or any excitement growing out of
the apprehensions of war before the re-
suit of the investigation into the cause of
the tragedy is made known. 1t is not
compatible with our dignity as a great
people to be led in the direction of war
by politicians who hope to mend their
fortunes by bringing about hostilities be-
tween the United States and Spain, and
by newspapers which are seeking to make
a reputation for enterprise, before it is
determined that a cause for war exists.
While il may be true that the Maine,
as stated in some of the Havana dis
patches, was destroyed by design, it is
better to wait until those who are con-
Quoting the investigation make their re-
port before acting as if the truth were
known. What is wanted is the truth. and
when that is known there viii be no great
difficulty in determining the course to be
pursued.
The people have made up their minds
as to the course that ought to be adopted
If it should be shown that the Maine was
destroyed by Spanish treachery. and the
government wouldn't dare to hesitate to
act in accordance with their wishes, but
Their should be no risk taken of making a
mistake. The truth beyond all doubt
should be had before any policy in re-
gard to Spain is decided upon.
If the tragedy should be shown to be
due to an eccident that would
end the matter so far as Spain is
concerned, but if 1t should be proved to be
the result Of design the situation would be
extremely serious, even though no evil
dences of Spanish treachery were discov-
cred. There would be a demand for an
indemnity so large that Spain would hest
tate to comply with it. But if treachery
were shown 1t is doubtful if war could be

OF the older cities of the South. none
has shown more enterprise. development
and Increase of population than Savan-
nah. This is an assertion which may
seem little extravagant to those who
have not investigated the matter, but
it is true. Savannah has increased her
population four fold since the close of
the war of secession, and her business
about ten fold; and there Is no other city
North or South to-day which handles as
much business or as much money in pro-
portion to white population
Savannah has always been a
place In which to make money;
not to pile up those great for
tunes which come to only a few men,
but TO accumulate those comfortable com
petencies which bring enjoyment in mid
die life without being attended with those
cares which vex the souls of the super
rich and make them wish they had been
less economical.
The thousands of comfortable homes
scattered throughout the city illustrate
the ways of the people of Savannah: they
are transformations, but well-to-do. The
desire to secure the best homes in the
best localities is a feature of local devel-
opment which has increased of late years.
and is still increasing. The movement of
settlement is steadily southwark Lands
which twenty years ago were thought to
be unsuited for residences and out of the
way, are now being covered with fine
dwellings, many of them the best in the
city The tendency of building seems to
be more to the Southeast than otherwise
and if the movement continues, it will
not be many years before the tracks of
the Plant System to the extreme bounda-
ries of the city viii pass through thick

The activity of the city authorities in
opening new streets has had good effect in
developing the southern section. Good
work has been done on that line. and II
is to be hoped and expected that the move
ment so begun will be continued

Genius and Work.

William Dean Howells said recently
that hard work in literature made what
the world calls 'genius"-with a brain,
OF course, to begin with. And that recalls
a little story. says the Chicago Times
Herald.
In conversation with Joel Chandler Har-
ris friend said: You are one of the
fortunate authors; everything you touch
turns to gold. Life must be a very smooth
affair for YOU"
on the contrary" was the reply life

enjoyment out of it, but it's more serious
than you think"
But, then. your genius"

two weeks; but when he next made his
appearance, haggard and worn. he said =.

by Washington hostess one afternoon
recently. She was giving a reception, and
in a momentary lull the young woman
at the punch bowl asked for a servant
TO empty the glasses which guests had
left half filled. The hostess did not even
whisper.
My dear" said she frankly, pour it
all back into the punch bowl. It's too
expensive to be wasted"

The Presidents Mistake.

What has become Of the question of
the ratification of the Hawaiian annexa-
ton treaty? Have the newspapers, Con-
gress and the people wholly forgotten it?
1t has been several days since the news
papers have paid any attention to it, and
then only 10 notice the remarkably able
and brilliant speech which Representative
johnson of Indiana, Republican, made
against annexation. The Maine disaster
appears to have driven the Hawaiian af-
fair out of the public mind.
The treaty is still pending, however in
the Senate, but the prospect that it will
be ratified is not anywhere near so prom
isng as it was a month ago. Indeed the
outlook is that the treaty will not be rat-
fed. quite a number of the Senators who
were depended upon to vote for ratifca-
ton have about concluded that 1t would
be very bad policy for this country TO
annex Hawaii without the consent of the
Hawaiian people. Our government is bas-
ed upon the idea that the will of the peo-
pie should control. It is a notorious fact
that the people of Hawaii have never
been consulted In respect to annexation.
1t is certain that they are not only against
annexation, but are also opposed to the
Dole goyernment-the government which
was set up by few Americans in Hon
olulu with the aid of a United States
warship.
One Of the curious things in connection
with the Hawaiian treaty is the attitude
of President Mckinley in respect to it,
He is strongly in favor of annexation for
the reason probably that Gen. Harrison
was when President, and because Mr.
Cleveland was against it. The Republican
party however, has never taken a posi-
ton in favor of annexation and many of
the Republican leaders believe that 1t
would be a great mistake to ratify the
annexation treaty.
.- Why the President haE undertaken to
dead his party on the Hawaiian question
is one of the things for which no expla-
nation has yet been offered. 1t may be
that he thought his party was in favor of
annexation. If that was his belief he has
found out that he was mistaken 1t is
now claimed that a good many Republi-
can senator's are for the treaty simply
because they have been urged by the
President to support it. If the President
should make it clear that he is Indifferent
as to whether the treaty is ratified or
not some of them would at once come
out openly against it. They may vote
against it even if the President doesn't
lose the interest in 1t which he now feels.
1t is believed In Washington that the
treaty will be defeated If it should be
the annexionists would try to get adopt
ed a resolution which would accomplish
the same purpose that the treaty of an
nexation would. They would fail, in all
probability, because such a resolution
would have to have the approval of the
House as well as of the Senate, and there
are good grounds for saying that the
House is against the treaty. AS far as
can be seen, at present, therefore, Haw-
ali will not become part of this country
very soon, If at ALL

Our Enormous Pension burden.

Only Russia's military expenditures upon
her giant army. patrolllng Europe and

and the Indian ocean, exceed the sum
which. thirty years after the close of TIE

told, is $176.942, 600; our pension list is not
quite equal to this. but. with the cost CT
