We have no doubt that Naval Construc-
tor Hobson feels keenly the loss of the
Maria Teresa, but question whether he
made the remarks in regard to the disas-
ter attributed to him by the Journal of
New York. That paper, in an interview,
makes him say the following. "A sort of
dumb instinct told me to remain yonder
with the Maria Teresa. Then 1 would have
come North and gone down with her."
Why should dumb instinct have tod
him to remain with the vessel? There is
no evidence TO justify an opinion that If
he had been on the vessel she would not
have been lost. And he does not seem to
think that he could have prevented her
from sinking, assuming that he is quoted
correctly. He said that he would have
gone down with her. Why should he have
said that? Does he mean to be understood
that he would not have abandoned her
when the officers and crew did, but would
have deliberately gone down with her?
And yet that is the only inference that is
reasonable from what the Journal says
he said.
II is hardly probable that Constructor
Hobson meant to criticise the commander
of the Maria Teresa for abandoning the
vessel at the time he did. If he did not
mean to do so, he practically said that he
would have thrown his life away.
But why should he say that he would
have thrown his life away? He has every
thing 10 live for, as far as the world
knows. Nobody would have had any great
er respect for his memory if, having been
on the vessel, he had refused to abandon
her when every hope of saving her had
disappeared. There is no heroism in re-
naming on a sinking ship when no duty is
to be discharged and nothing to be gained
by doing so. The probabilities are that the
Journal did not quote Constructor Hobson
correctly.

Every registered voter of the First con-
gressional district should put a ballot in
the ballot box to-day for Hon. Rufus E.
Lester. None of the other men who have
represented the First congressional dis
trict ever did more for his constituents
than he has. Savannah is indebted to him
for the appropriations for deepening and
otherwise improving her river and har-
Dor. If 1t had not been for his untiring
efforts savannah's commerce would not be
nearly as great as 1t is. And the mag
nificenr public building, now so nearly
completed, Is convincing evidence of his
efforts in behalf of the people he repre-
sents and of his influence in Congress.
A conscientious and fearless man, natur-
ally, he has not pleased every one, but no
one Of his constituents can truthfuIy as
sert that he has not done his duty, and
done 1t well.
Col. Lester has devo ed his entire time
in Congress to the interests of his district.
The people of Savannah owe it TO him 10
make him feel that his efforts in their
behalf are appreciated. The fact that Ne
is certain TO be elected should not In
fiuence any voter to neglect to cast his
ballot Because there Is no Republican
candidate, It does not follow that Republi-
cans have an excuse for not voting. They
have been benefited by what Col. Lester
has done for this district. as well as the
Democrats. and they should make their
appreciation of his services apparent by
helping TO give him a majority that would
make him feel that he has the undivided
support of the people in his efforts for the
material welfare of this dlctrict.
There may be points on which some OF
Col Testers Democratic friends differ
with him, but these differences are not
such as ought to prevent any Democrat
from voting for the Democratic candidate.
# is one of the best points of the Demo-
cratic patty that its members can differ
in some things and yet unite on general
issues.
Let every Democrat of the district. as
well as every Republican, go 10 the polls
to-day and vote for Hon. Rufus e. Lester
the man who has rendered them such val.
I uable services.

"cheekmated by a Pawn,

At a great city banquet some years ago,
says Cassells Magazine, there was pres

had inst performed a praiseworthy act of

that his health would be proposed, and
that he would be expected to respond to

form which his Acknowledgement of the
toast should assume.
His friends advice was peremptory and
brief

In due course the toast was proposed
and received with reclamation, and the
pawnbroker rose. flushed and nervous, to
reply. He began:
My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen-I
pledge you. my honor"
There was a sudden litter the orator
paused, and in the pause a voice was
heard to say:
'Shop, shop, sir! You ought to know

coon CAUSE ron DISSATISFACTION.

Those of the Cubans who have consider
able interests at stake are very much
dissatisfied with the delay on the part
of the United States In taking possession
of Cuba. And they have good reason to
be dissatisfied. Absolutely nothing Is be-
ing done towards restoring the prosperity
Of the island. Everything depends on ag-
ricu.ture. Phe planters and small farm
ers cannot go to work 70 restore the plan
tations and farms because there is no Sc
curly for anything The spaniards are
robbing the people ana there are rowing
bands of guerrillas who steal TO satisfy
their wants There is no business in the
towns because the land IS producing moth
ing. Money Is needed 10 put the planta-
tons in working order. The Cubans
haven't any money, and capitalists in this
country win not lend them any until it is
definitely determined what the government
of The island is to be. Everything is at
a standstn 1t is easy to believe, there
fore, that the statement that the people
are dying from starvation at a fearful rate
is true.
But what can the President do to better
matters? He is doing his utmost 10 get
the Spaniaras out of the island. They say
that they cannot go faster than they are
going for the lack Of troop transports.
There is, Of course, some truth in what
they say. Our troops cannot occupy the
island any faster than the Spaniards move
out of it. The President has already fixed
two dates for the completion of the evac-
uation, but 1t is evident that not half of
the Spanish army will be on it's way to
Spain at the last date.
Could it not be arranged so that our
army could take possession at once? 1t
may not be absolutely necessary that all
the Spanish troops shall have left Cuba
before the island passes into our possess
sion. Why could not the island be turn
ed over TO our government at once, so
that the work of providing IL with an
enlightened and stable government could
be begun without further delay? There is
no danger that there would be trouble be-
tween our soldiers and those Of Spain.
It would not be practical for our gov
eminent 10 undertake to feed the Cubans
until a stable government in the island
is established, because to do that would
only delay the return of prosperity. Those
of the Cubans In need you'd not work
as long as they were fed by our govern
ment. Even now 1t is difficult to get such
laborers as are needed because of the i'm
preston that our government is going to
issue free rations as soon as food in Cuba
becomes little scarcer than it is.
About the only thing our government
can do to better the situation is to get
control of the island at the earliest pos
slble moment, and establish there a gov
eminent that would command the conf
dence of the entire world. AS soon as that
is done, there will be plenty of money
in Cuba, and work for all the people there.

With a dash or two of brown.
And he must have had a Midas touch,
For if the truth is told.

He dressed in cloth of gold.
Then he took a glittering icicle
From underneath the caves.

Such fair and stately palaces,
Such towers and temples gcand,
Their like I'm sure, was never seen

Though they will not tell a soul;
But I've heard his calling card reads
thus:

ro-nAY,s ELECTIONS.

| From reading the dispatches and listen
/ ing 10 the political talk in public places.
the impression is gained that there is more
interest in the contest between Roosevelt
| and Van Wyck in New York, Quay and
| Wanamaker in Pennsylvania and the race
issue in North Carolina than in any other
features of the elections. but, as mat
tel. of fact, the real interest is in the con-
gressional elections in the doubtful dis
tricts and in the election Of members OF
the legislature in states which are to
chose successors to United States sena-
tors whose terms expire on March next.
The Republicans are making extraordin-
airy efforts not only TO get as large ma
jority in the next House of Representa-
lives as they have in the present House,
put to get even larger one. There are
several reasons why they are anxious to
make a good showing in the next House.
one is that a greater majority in the nex1
House would indicate that the country APP
proves the Presidents policy in respect
70 the Philippines. Another is that it
would justify the Republicans in assum-
ing that the country is satisfied with the
way in which the war was conducted; and
il would also be a damper on any effort
the Democrats might make to have an
investigation by Congress not only of the
treatment which the soldiers received while
in camp and in the campaign in Cuba, but
also of the contracts for ships and war
material The Republicans also think that
a bigger majority in the next House than
there is in the present one would have
the effect of still further quoting the silver
question.
on the other hand, If the Democrats get
control Of the next House. or even reduce
the majority by which the Republicans
hold the present House, they will have
good grounds for thinking that the people
are not satisfied with the Republican
party, that they will have the approval
of the country IL they inquire into the
conduct of the war in all of its features
and that they will have good reasons for
expecting a victory in the next presiden-
tlal campaign on a platform containing
the declarations of the Chicago platform.
The struggle for the control of the Sen
ate is watched by the party leaders with
even keener interest than is the struggle
for the control of the House. The Repub-
leans have almost a majority of that
body now, and if they succeed in getting
a majority through the elections to-day,
they viii feel certain that they will con-
troll the Senate for number of years
long enough to prevent the making OF the
coinage of silver free during the next pres
idental term even if the Democratic party
should be successful in 1900 The Demo-
Gratis fully understand the importance of
preventing the Republicans from getting
a majority in the Senate. Therefore, the
returns from the doubtful congressional
districts and fol members of the legisla-
ture in the doubtful states win be read
with the keenest interest tonight and to-
morrow morning. Notwithstanding the
fact that this is an off year in politics,
national questions, particularly the silver
question: has played a quite important
part in the campaigns.
