4 Debt OF Honor.

Writing for the CosmopolS British
magazine. Henry Norman, enc of the
ablcst living English journalists, says:
"Two things would bring about an An
elo-American alliance instantly. If II
combination Of European powers should
be formed to crush the Uuitrd States
and after the official utteranCes of the
foreign ministers Of Gcrmany ana Aus
tria this is notfwnolly an eXtravagant
supposition--they would have to crush
the British fleet a. WELL That this is
the view Of those at present RESPONSE
bla for British policy, / KNOW. As
have said elsewhere, we should never
stand idly by ana see a hundred mil
lions Of people who speak English
tranpled on by people who speak Rus
sian or French or German. And we
cherish, not as those who have no hope,
the conviction that if the people who
speak Russian and French and German
laid aside for the moment their deadly
rivalries to join in crushing us, beside
thr flag Of the three crosses there would
be found on a seas a. certain flag of
stripes, as wcll as stars
Events certainly are fast giving sub
stance To this prophecy. When the
| am bassadors at Washington Of France
and Austria undertook recently to unite
the six great European powers i'm a
collective protest against the purposed
J intervention 'of the United States in

embassy and besought the cooperation

! Sir Julian read it and replied: II viii
. Join i'm no note which does not first

note which was later scented, took 4

him an assurance that its presentation
would be acceptable to the UniteC
States, and it is suspected had not {
little to do with suggesting the charac

In Agreement at List.

The large ado which the peace-at-
any-price element made over the pet
Clant outburst Of Attorney Rubcng Of
the Cuban junta never deceived any
real friend OF Cuba. Mr. Rubens spoke
indiscreeuy and on false information,
but later developments have gone to
show that the premise on which he
basel his manifesto was not wholly
evolved from his own inner conscious
ness. The message Of the president Of
the United states shows that no de-
mand for Cuban independence has ever
heen made by him upon Spain and that
therefore, Nr. Rubens had at least color
fer his suspicion that the president
contemplated an ultimate compromise
win Spain. This suspicion was widely
prevalent at Washington at the time
The attitude of the peace-at amy price
faction lent plausiblity TO IL.
Tho Cuban patriots, having sworn
never TO yield 90 any proposition OF
coupromiee or concession falling short

OF complete independence, could not
without perjury join hands with an
American movement to force them back
urder a nominal spanish sovereignty.
Eu; now that the intent OF the con-
templated American Intervention has
hccn made clear by congressional rcso-
luton: now that tho president, under
command from congress, must lay aside
his dreams Of autonomy and practical
independence" and push for uncondt-
tional Cuban freedom from Spain, the
Cuban representatives. in this country
do not press their argument for the
immediate recognition OF the existing
or provisional Cuban republic. As Sc
nor QueGaGa Of the Cuban legation
says, $50 long as congress recognizes
the independence Of the Cubans we
don't care whether it is in the form Of
a declaration I'm favor of the present
government or promise to help us
establish an Independent government
on republican lines. Anything active
bv the United States which promises
to drive spain from the island will be
satisfactory to Cuba
This. likewise, will be satisfactory to
the American people, but it must be
begun quickly. The people are tired Of
delay.

There will be those who will assert
that England, in this course, had an
axe to grind. Suppose she had. That
would not be to her discredit provided
the axe itself were creditable-and
England knows enough about the Unit
ed States to realize that she could not
grind n discrcditable one on a Yankee
grindstone. Reciprocity when honor
able is perfectly legitimate. 1t is the
basis of most of the activities of life.
There is no reason why in an interna-
tional sense it should be restricted to
tariffs alone. In the emergency which
our government has been called upon
to face in it's relations with Spain con-
cerning Cuba the fact stands out in un-
mistakable prominence that Great
Britain. axe or no axe. has assumed to-
ward the United states, without solici-

made had the conditions been reversed.

A SONG FOR CUBA.

The Nations Of Europe algrded in greed,
Behold thee, o Cuba and heed not thy cries;
Had they hearts thou had long been happily freei
= Thouhadst liberty long since fhey had but eyes.
They call themselves Christian, yet prey the weak;
They fawn on the Turk and they tolerate Spain:
They worship the strong, and they seoh at the meek,
They than the vultures that feed the slain.
But Cuba, the dawn Of thy freedom is near,
Already its sunbus is the East;
The heart Of the tyrant is luaking with fear.
And the vulture in terror forsakes his grim feast
The eagles Of abroad in their might,
The rush of their wings browns the of the Seas
They seeking thy foe; he will soon be in flight,
For the star-spanged banner flung to the breeze.
We have dndled our erucibles white with the steel
That shall free thee; forges red thy wrongs
They shaping weapons Of for thy veal
Whilst thee furnaces sing Freedoms songs
God for the manhood that speaks in this hour;
the hearts that respond to thy pitu story;
For the spirit Cuba that fears not the pow'r
thy foe; and thank God for our banner Old Glory!
From the Scranton Truth.

CUT THIRTY PER CENT.
Retail Druggists Start War on
Prices of Proprietary Articles.

In addition to 1900 troops, savannah
has a local war Of it's own This time il
is the druggists who are at outs. Prices
large retailers on proprietary articles and
profits have either been reduced to a min
imum or wiped out entirely.
The cut rate fight began two days ago,
and a half dozen or more retailers are
now engaged in a desperate effort to I'M
der BID each other for patronage al prices
that give some mixing of the profits on
patent medicines and other articles of
proprietary nature. Preparat lions hereto
fore selling at 81 are now offered at 60
cents, 50-cent articles at 80 cents, and 25-
cent articles at 10 cents. These are bull
letined as wholesalers prices. Even at
these reductions of about 30 per cent on
former figures. it was admitted by drug
gists last night chat there Is a margin of
profit when The goods are bought In large
quantities. 1t is the small retailers, the
druggists who have not trade or capital
enough TO stock up heavily who will suf-
fer most severely from the warfare the
leaders Of the drug business are now en-
gagged in.
"A large part Of their profits are derived
from the sale of proprietary articles" said
one of the price cutters last night, "and
with them reduced to point where profits
are impossible TO small dealers they will
suffer severely. shouldn't be surprised to
see prices even lower than they are now
as considerable feeling has been aroused,
and in the desire to get business 1t win be
done at positive loss.
THE cutting has been going on quietly
for some time, 1 am informed" continued
the druggist. This and some other causes

which is now on. 1t Is a great thing for

DROWNED FROM THE TYBEE.
Seaman RnyfOrd Fell Overheard and
Was Lost.

William w. Rayford. colored, a seaman
on the revenue steamer Tybee, fell over
board, and was drowned early yesterday
morning.
The Tybee was lying at her wharf OPP
posite the foot of Whitaker street. Ray
ford went on deck about 6 O'Clock to do
some work. A minute or two later an
engineer below heard some one calling
from the shore. He hurried on deck, and
was told that Rayford had fallen over
board. He was not seen after he went
over, and his body did not come to the
surface No one saw him fall, but some
people on the wharves on the opposite
side of the river saw him as he disap-
peared.
Lieut.. Maher, the commanding officer
Of the Tybee, was notified, and the river
was dragged. The body was recovered in
about an hour within a few feet OF where
Rayford went under. Coroner Goette was
notified but did not hold an inquest.
Rayford was 26 years old, and leaves a
wife and child in Darien. He was a neph-

A LIGHT VOTE IS EXPECTED.
NOTHING TO DRAW VOTERS TO THE
POLLS ON TUESDAY.

OILY "A COngressman without Any
Organized Opposition TO he Voted
fOr-COI. Testers Ten Years of Eff
Gciept Service Entities Him to "A
Handsome Majority, Nevertheless.
DE Would Appreciate 1t for the
Sake of the Party.
Tuesday Congressman Rufus E, Les
ter will be reelected as representative
Of the First Georgia district. The next
will make his sixth term in Congress. Ten
years of active and continuous service Is
a record that no other Georgia congress-
man holds. Congressman Testers valua-
BILE services for the district in the five
terms he has completed are too well
known to need repetition.
Congressman Lester has practically no
opposition. The talk of nominating either
a Popullst or Republican candidate peter
ed out, and his majority in the district
will be almost as large as the total vote
east Two years ago his vote was $3.50,
and the vote OF the two opposition candi-
dates 1888. An abortive effort at oppo-
sition has been made this year, but to lit
tie or no purpose.
1t is hardly probable that the total vote
OF the district TINS year WIN be within 1000
to 1900 of what it was in 1896 At that
time there were 1914 votes poll
ed. As there Is no presidential
contest on this year, nothing but
congressman without party opposition to
be voted for, 1t Is reasonable to suppose
that the vote will fall below this, perhaps
down to 10000 votes, or less. Neither the
Republicans nor Populists having a can
didate in the field, they will feel little de-
sire to turn out and vote, and of those
who do large proportion will doubtless
cast their ballots for Col Lester If 10000
votes are polled, Col Lester will hardly
fall short of getting 5000 Of them.
Il am not figuring on the returns" said
Col. Lester yesterday. "Of course, I know
that there is a strong probability of the
vote In some of the counties being light
er than two years ago, owing to the alb
sence of any contest or other election to
draw out the voters. l am naturally de-
slrous that the vote shall be large for
the party's sake as well as my own"
Congressman Lester looks for some spir-
tied discussion as soon as Congress meets
In December over the administrators pol
icy relative to the Philippines In both
Senate and House there is apt to be
very free expression of opinion on the ex-
panson policy.

A Prudent venture.

1t was a wise saying of Benjamin Frank
lin that Economy is the road to wealth"
and some one else said, with equal wis
dom, that Constant dropping wears the
stone"
In this country every man, whether he
will or not, is the architect of his own
fortune. Industry, economy and persever-
ence are bound to succeed. The founda-
ton of every colossal fortune is laid In
small beginnings. Every man of charac-
ter and enterprise, having a family,
will do his best to accomplish three
things, namely, provide for his family
while he lives, make provision for them in
case of his death and accumulate conf
potency for his own advancing years. The

pany of Boston, Mass, by issuing you a
policy for 81, 900 to $4,000, practically makes
