4 Wise Reconsideration.

1t IS gratifying to note the decision of the
Central Labor Union of this city not to
undertake a political warfare against the
chairman Of the House District committee.
When the effort 10 discrcdit Mr.. BaDcock
with tue voters of his district was first
started The Star advised the labor leaders
OF the District to be careful in their pro-
Cedur, for their own sakes and for that of
the District. 1t was pointed out then that
not only We're the charges against Mr.. Bah
cock UUfo Unded, but that by thus attacking
him for political purposes they were dis
other energetic representative in Congress
from taking active interest in the af-
fairs OF the District The committee placed
in charge of the matter by the Central
Labor Union apparently Investigated the
charges preferred against Mr.. Babcock il
the name Of labor with paInstaking thor
oughness. They refuted the assertion that
he was unfTiendly to labor. and they like
wise disclosed facts showing that he had
wrought for the best interests of the work
ingmen of Washington since his association
with the District committee. The District
has recently enjoyed many substantial
benefits traceable directly to Mr. Babcock' 5
wide influence in his party and it is well
now that this ill-advised effort to defeat
him in his campaign and TO place a dis
count on any further efforts on his part in
behalf of the capital has been defeated.

The Law and the Railroads.

The decision of the SLIreme Court aG-
verse to the Joint Traffic Association seems
al first glance to upset the plans of the
railroad magI tes and suggests that u rate
war with all it's demoralizing consequences,
may follow. But it is common experience
that it is difficult to frame or to interpret
Law SO as to prevent the owners Of the rail
road lines from agreeing to a scale of rates.
Yet it is clearly contrary to the spirit of
the Sherman antitrust statute and the in
to'-state commerce act to join organiza-
tlons into common associations to control
rates and dictate terms. This is what the
JCint Traffic Association has done and what
the Supreme Court says it must moi do
The first step viii probably be the disband-
ment OF the association and all similar or
ganizations followed by the adoption OF
some informal but binding agreement to
tanned by the elaborate machinery of The
associations 1t is coming to be a recog-
nlzed fact that the railroads of this country
are gradually becoming amenable TO the
purposes of certain circle of CAPITALISTS
who have hClCings dominant forces III
practically all the great trunk systems
from ocean to ocean. If the law will rot
permit the railroads TO come together in an
ASSOCIATION for the expressed purpose oI
putting stop to rate cutting and scaiping
1t cannot prevent the buying of controlling
interests in line after line by the same per-
sOEs or frms- In short, there is as yet no
means discovered to prevent the gradual
Organization of a great railway syndicate
which snail be able, without the iuterven-
ton OF traffic associations or the like to

this has become an accomplished fact it

restraint of trade just as the Supreme
Court has row declared the Joint Tramc
association to be such. But meanwhile all

such combinations. This WIIl prove a ditti-
cult il not all impossible task.

| ago noticed by the cable dispatches that
certain Major Wood of large wealth, had
! died in London, leaving a son. So, after
time. he wrote to Wood. announcing him
| self as a friend whom Wood had helped in
certain mining enterprises in the Pacific re-
gion, who had struck it rich and in con-
science deemed that part of the money
should go to his benefactor. So, with many
details of the business, he suggested that
a meeting be arranged at which the gold
already taken out of the mine be turned
over to Wood, the writer to be given half.
OF course, the letter reached London after
Woods death 1t was intended that it
should be late Woods son had no means
of ascertaining if his father had in fact in
dulged in this bit of speculative charity and
answered the letter, which bore marks of
genuineness. AS a result, Algie came to
this country and met the gold brick man at
Niagara-near the border. He then sent for
Regie, his friend. and later the two secured
two thousand pounds from Regies father
| for the purchase of half of the brick. The
lump of metal was bored by the young men
at their pleasure, in all portions. The
filings We're carefully gathered together by
the sharper and returned to them in
packet. OF course, they assayed high.
They were real gold. They did not come
from the brick. That was merely bit of
clever legerdemain. Convinced they agreed
to take the brick and pay the $1o,o30
ore-half of it's estimated value, the trans,
fer to be made in New York. On the
day of the proposed transfer they were on
their way to the appointed rendezvous,
when Algie thought by chance of a letter
OF introduction to a lawyer, and, his office
being near at hand, the two dropped in
him. In the eXuberance of their spirits, be-
ing about to come into the possession of
gold brick at half price, they spoke of their
good fortune. The New York lawyer
winked, took the two young men to police
Headquarters, and inside of an hour the
man with the gold brick was in cell. He
was an old offender.
1t is well that Algie and Regie were pro-
tected. 1t would have been sad if, during
this era Of good feeling between England
and the United States, it should have been
demonstrated that two innocent young
Englishmen could not feel secure from the
wiles of the American sharper even in theI
own dear London.

DIR. DUNCAN AGREED UPON.
VIII he Elected an Alderman This
Week.

AI0RrmAn
Week.
/ DR.. william Duncan will be elected a
\ member of the board of aldermen at the
meeting of Council Wednesday night. The
members of Council are generally agreed
upon this.
Mayor Meldrim said, when seen about
the matter, that there had been no eau
Gus of Council to select a successor to
Alderman Wylly, and that he could not
speak for the board in the matter. He
admitted however that he did not think
It at all unlikely that Dr. Duncan would
be elected a member of the board
DIR. Duncan's election will very likely
result in some changes in the chairman
ships of Council 1t is understood that in
case of his election he will be made chair
man of the public health committee. and
Alderman owens. now chairman Of
that committee will be made
chairman of the committee on
drainage. Alderman Owens Is already
vice chairman of this committee. and
since the resignation of Alderman WyIiy
has discharged the duties of chairman.
Being familiar with the details of the
work, he is naturally fitted for the posi-
ton of chairman. With the important
work Of house drainage in progress, the
position of chairman of the house drain
age committee, which ordinarily does not
require great deal of work, becomes a
very important one.
Alderman Owens will of course remain
member of the public health committee
and both he and DR. Duncan will remain
members of the sanitary board

THE ATONEMENT.
Rev. G. III. Strong Discusses Another
Feature of the Creed.


Feature of the Creed.
Rev. Charles H. Strong preached an
other of his interesting series of sermons
on The subject of the Apostles Creed at
ST. Johns church last night His topic
was 1.-THE Atonement," founded on the
crucifxion of Christ for the redemption
of mankind
This event, he said, was separated from
people of to-day by nineteen centuries,
yet there is nothing in history which is so
distinct and vivid in the imagination to-
day. From 1T we receive the doctrine of
atonement. Rev Mr.. Strong described
the cruciixion and the scenes surrounding
it as told in sacred history. In the morn
ing the multitudes cried Cruelty Him."
but they knew not what that cry would
bring forth before night.
Theology, he said, had connected the
crucitixion with the eXpiation of human
sin. 1t was proper, therefore, that its
significance should 70 considered anG
measured. He spoke of the trend Of the
various religions of the time with regard
to sacrifice. Men scrupicd at nothing in
their desires and efforts to propltlate the
wrath Of their deity. whether an idol or
a living being They would sacrifice their
children, their property. and even life it
self to that end. In the sacri-
fees of the Jews there was moth
ing suggestive of Offering up the
innocent to atone for the guilty. 1t re-
manned for the Christians to bring forth
the belief of the innocent being sacrificed
for the eXpiaton of human sin and for
the Precipitation of divine wrath
He spoke of the human sin that was APP
parent, even around the cross of Christ
Never had human sin seemed so black
before as there The sacrifice of Christ
revealed the divine love from the heart
of Cod 1t was a double sacrifice, the sac
rfce of God in giving up his son, and the
sacrifice of Christ in giving up his life
The divine wrath was appeased and the
sun from God shone forth in all its spen,
dor upon the world Mans acceptance of
this doctrine is a prerequisite to mans
forgiveness. God forgives for no other
reason than that he loves man; that is
the atonement. In such sacrifices exist
powerful forces in attracting men, In the
cross of Christ man finds his Precipitation.
That sets him free from all sin.

DOES NOT FEAR sMALL-pOx HERE.
DIR. LeHardy viii BE Glad to Talk
to DIR. Wyman If He Comes.


Health Officer LeHardy is at a loss to
understand how the report was sent out
from Washington that he had requested
the aid of the marine hospital service in
protecting Savannah from smallpox. now
prevailing in Birmingham and other
places
Such a thing has never occurred to
me" he said. land have never address,
ed the marine hospital service on the sub
ject If Surgeon General WymaA wants
to come down and have talk with me 7
shall be delighted to see him. I should
tell him good many things that he ought
to know, but 1 would do it pleasantly. I
shall be glad to see the marine hospital
service take hold of the smallpox situa-
ton wherever it is They might do some
good. what is needed to deal
with these matters is de-
partment of public health, with full
authority TO take ho'd and adopt such
measures as may be necessary for the SUP
preston of disease and the prevention of
its spread to other quarters"
DR.. LeHardy said Savannah does not
appear to be in any more danger from
smallpox than ii had been for some time
past
There is danger of course of its being
brought here by persons from infected To-
calities" he sad I'VE have done what
we could to prepare for it. About 2.C00
persons, to the best of my knowledge
have been vaccinated in the last few
months. All he school children have been
vaccinated. There is only one method Of
prevention, and that is by vaccination
Some means of securing more general
vaccination of our people should be
adopted"
!. 1t would be well for the doctors to have
" supply of vaccine matter on hand. DR.
LoIardy sad. A case of two of small
poX in the city would mean big rush for
vaccination, and the physicians might not
be able to supply the demand.
