The Confederate veterans of Memphis
have officially condemned Senator Marion
Buffers bill to pension Confederate veter-
ans. The resolutions adopted by the Mem
phis veterans indorse appropriations by
Southern states for the purpose of caring
for disabled survivors of the Confederate
army, but condemns the introduction of
any measure in Congress looking to the
pensioning of ex-Confederates by the
ing Senator Buffers bill, the public should
remember that he is neither a Confederate
veteran nor does he represent the Dem
cratic party, to which nearly all Confed-
crate veterans give adherence.

spirit. The Babylonians OF 5000 years ago
held the belief that nature and the human
existence were dominated by two camps OF
hostile spirits. one good and the other
evil. As one camp predominated over the
other, so were the times or individual con-
ditons prosperous or adverse. They
thought there We're noxious spirits OF the
lungs. of the heart, of the throat, etc.
and thai when anything got to be the mat
ter with any organ or function of the body
IL was necessary to square ones self with
the spirits before the ailment would get
better, and that having made it all right
with the spirits nothing else was necessary
TO be done. only lamentations were employ
ed; no roots, herbs or other medicines were
given to the sick And thus the delivers into
ancient lore point out the ancient Babylon
ians as the prototypes of the modern Chris
tian Scientists.

CURRENT COMMENT.

We are to have in our new possessions
illustrations of military government which
should prove very interesting and instruc-
tive to our own people. The Baltimore
Sun (Dem) says: 1.-THE new Governor
of Havana is to exercise like distatorial
powers, subject, of course to the Presi-
dent. All new Governors in Cuba, Porto
Rico, the Philippines, etc. are to govern
automatically according to rules provided
from Washington. The Governors are all
generals and the government set up for
an indefinite period is military. The peo-
pies under their care are to be treated as
subjects, not as sovereigns, having no
representation in any governing body, but
only paying taxes.
Military administration-that is to say,
dictatorial admnistration-is the inevita-
BILE sequel of the acceptance of imperial
ism. 1t is important for the American
people to consider whether military gov
eminent of foreign provinces may not in
the end teach lessons fatal to free insti-
buttons at home
The New York Journal of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin Qnd) thinks that
while law to permit railroad pooling
would be a good thing, such a law is not
absolutely necessary to the prevention of
rate eating 1t says: "At the present
moment there are half dozen financiers
in this country who. if they recognized
the obligation could provide security
against the cutting of railway rates much
more effective than any pooling law. or
other form of national legislation. 1t is
a matter of the utmost moment for the fu-
ture of the country and of all the struc-
ture of credit and confidence which de-
ponds on railroad solvency, that these men
should frankly address themselves to the
performance of this duty"
The Philadelphia Record Dem) says:
| "Corpl Tanner, ex-commissioner of pen
sions. has made the suggestion that Grip
pied ex-Confederatse be admitted to the
Northern soldiers homes This is prac-
teal benevolence, and an improvement on
the sentimental recommenda ton of Pres
ident Mckinley TO pay honor to the Con
federate dead. AS the South helps to pay
whatever money Is expended by the fed
| eral government In the support Of soldiers
homes. the proposition has a basis of jus
tice as we'll as Of merciful willingness to
help exunguish every remaining ember Of
the past sectionalism."

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-12-25

The Tybee trip of the Third Georgia
Regiment presents a striking illustration
of the democracy of the volunteer army
service of the United States. In no other
country could any such thing have hap
pened. The officers in any European army
would as soon have thought of jumping
over the moon as of inviting their men In
the ranks to go on an excursion with
them; and If by any chance had officers
and men gone on a pleasure trip together
the social line would have been sharply
drawn, with shoulder straps and side arms
on one side and rifles and cartridge belts
on the other. In the American volunte er
service, however, the private and the Of
ficer meet upon the level of manhood, ex-
cept when they are on duty.

The New York Herald prints some hg-
ures of vital statistics of the city of Ha-
Jana. which show an almost astounding
condition of affairs. During the eleven
months of the present year ending with
November there were about nine deaths
to every birth. The figures show that dur
ing that period there were 19,4S0 deaths
and only 2,228 births. In the same period
there were COZ marriages. I, is probable
that there is no other place in the civilized
world that Is so destructive of human life
as the city of Havana, The death rate in
India last year during the plague was not
as large as that of the Cuban city during
the past eleven months The late Col.
Warning estimated that Il would require an
expenditure of $4O,OOO.oOO to put Havana
into a good sanitary condition. The Phil
adelphia Record thinks that, In considera-
ton of the extremely heavy death rate,
ii would be better to "burn the city than
to undertake to make 1t fit for habltation
through any slower process of purgation."

The Smallpox Situation.

A twelve-year-old girl of Tom Mahr,
night swttchman in the G. III. yards,
was reported yesterday as having email
pox. The family lives at $50 Franklin
st. eet. The girl was unvaccinated. A
six months old Mexican babe, whose
mother had gone to the smallpox hos
pital with others of her family some
time ago, was also reported yesterday
Today the inspectors while vaccinat-
ing among the Mexicans found seven
year old girl suffering with the disease.
She had been sick several days. She
was sent to the smallpox hospital this
afternoon.
At the smallpox hospital all the cases
are doing very well unless 1t Is the

less exposure and his condition from
other causes may not get well.

ROBBED IN DAYLIGHT.
A. W. Susen'S Rooms RansaCked BY
Unknown Parties.

The apartments of A, w. Susen, in
the First National Bank building, we're
entered yesterday by unknown parties
who carried off everything of any
value.
The theft was first discovered by q
Chinese laundryman, who in going
to the rooms of Mr.. Susen, as is his
usual custom every week to get the
weeks laundry, discovered that the
door was open. He saw the room in
great disorder and BELIEVING some
thing unusual had happened notified
Mr.. Susen.
Mr.. Susen returned to the room with
the Cinnamon and at one glance at the
room knew he had been robbed. On
closer examination he discovered that
an entrance had been effected through
the transom over the door. Mr.. Susen
cannot account for the door being I'M
locked.
The thief was undoubtedly frighten-
ed off, as q satchel belonging to Mr..
Susen, half filled with wearing ap-
parel, was found on a chair in the
room. ALI of the drawers in the
chiffonier were ransacked and every
thing of value was taken including all
Mr.. Susen's clothes, with the .excep-
tion of an old coat which WAS In the
satohel, which was half packed.
Mr.. Susen has not as yet notified the
police; as there is not the remotest clue
to work on, he believes any attempt TO
catch the thieves would be useless.
