ErRoPE,s FEAR oF AMERICA.


A great many articles are appearing
| in the Paris newspapers which are intend
ed 10 influence the American members Of
! the peace commission to deal in the most
| liberal manner with Spain The purport
Of these articles is that Spain should be
| permitted TO retain the Philippines and
! that The debt which Spain incurred in
keeping Cuba under her yoke should be
sadded on Cuba.
If those interested IN having these arti-
! cles published think that the American
! commissioners will be influenced by them
they VIII discover before long that they
! are greatly mistaken. The American com
missioners don't care what public opin-
ion in Paris is an respect to the Philippines
and the Cuban debt. They are concerned
only about public opinion In the United
States. They will follow the instructions
they receive from the President, and the
President viii keep close watch of pub
liz sentiment. Therefore, those who Gre
inspiring the articles in the Paris news
papers are only wasting their money.
Agents of the Spanish government and
the French holders Of Spanish-CuJan
bonds are doubtless the parties who are in
spring the articles The Spanish agents
think probably that the American commits
sioners have great respect for what APP
pears in the Paris press, and the French
holders of Spanish bonds are so fearful
that they are going to lose their money
that they will leave no means untried to
have the United States or Cuba made re-
sponsible for the bonds.
The commission is being watched by
all European governments with profound
interest, not because they attach any i'm
portance to what the Spanish commission
ers say or do, but because they regard
with feelings akin to alarm the growth of
the United States an wealth and power
The remark of Prince Albert of Belgium,
on his return from this country recently
expresses the thought in the minds of the
rulers of European countries. He said:
you will eat as all up, you Americans;
you will eat us all up"
They are profoundly anxious to know
what we are going to do in respect to the
Philippines, and whether if we take those
islands we intend To make an effort TO
capture the trade of China. We do not in
clude Great Britain among the countries
which regard with a jealous eye our move
ment towards the East. That Power feels
able, as yet, to take care of herself. The
other European governments fear that the
time is not distant when they will not
be able to compete with us in the mar
kets of the world. After Prince Albert
of Belgium on his recent visit. had been
through our great factories, he remark
ed: How can Europe compete with such
a country as the United StaJesY'
Six months ago there were few in Eu-
rope who fully understood how rich and
powerful the United States were. The
quickness with which Spain was crushed
aetonished and alarmed European peoples.
and now that they begin to understand
what the United States really are, they
are afraid that they win be eaten UP,
as the Belgian Prince puts it.

A Hitch In a brilliant scheme.

An Omaha man whose business is to
write a great deal, and not in the shape
of correspondence, would rather take qui-
nine than write letters. His wife is a
great letter writer, and when she goes
away she insists on receiving a daily let
ter from her husband. If he fails she
comes home in short order, and for time
the atmosphere of the home is frigid, says
the Omaha World-Herald.
A short time ago the wife went on a
visit to her parents, and before leaving
save her husband explicit instructions to
write every day. He promised to do so,
and meant to keep the promise. He for
got the first day until too late so he wired
that he would write the following day.
That night he secured the services of a
stenographer and dictated a letter
Now 1 want you to use that letter as
a model" he said to the stenographer,
and write twelve others, all differently
worded, but containing about the same
thing. Date each one day ahead of the
other, put each into an envelope properly
addressed, and attend to mailing for me
Here's s. for your toruble."
The stenographer who was young and
lnexperience, agreed.
Three days later the husband received a
telegram reading: "Wnl be home on first
train. Meet me " The wife's name an
peared at the bottom.
The husband was distressed, fearing that
something had happened. Time passed
slowly, but at last the train arrived
When his wife stepped from the train he
grasped her and asked:
What's the matter, my deaT?"
The wife said not a word, but walked
into the depot. Then she opened her little
grip and quietly handed her husband a
bunch of letters.
The stenographer had followed instruc-
tons, but she had mailed all the letters on
the same day.

At the approaching election in Illinois
women of legal age may vote for state
superintendent of public Instruction, trus-
tees of the state university and county sd-
perintendent Of schools; nevertheless it is
said that practically nothing has been done
by the women towards qualifying them
selves as electors. Very few of them have
registered. and none seems to be taking
any interest in the matter. DO the women
really not care to vote; or are they apa-
thetic because they are not given the bal
lot in full, just as the men have it?

The battleship Illinois, which is to be
launched at Newport News tomorrow,
will be the largest vessel of her class in
the navy, and only a few tons displace-
ment smaller than the leviathans of the
British navy The Illinois. however, will
not be less formidable than the best ship
that flies the British flag. Indeed, it is
believed that she will be match, or bet

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-10-04

Col. Roosevelt is having some difficulty
in having dismissed the proceedings, be-
gun while he was in Cuba, to set aside
the assessment against him as a citizen
of New York city. AS soon as he return
ed from Santiago he notified his attorneys
to dismiss the suit, it having been begun
by his cousin, who is one of his attorneys,
without his knowledge. But the corpora
ton counsel of the city of New York will
not consent to the dismissal of the case.
His objection is probably based upon po-
litical consideration. 1t may be his pur-
pose to try to have the courts declare
that Col Roosevelt is not a citizen of the
state of New York. That would spoil Col
Roosevelt's gubernatorial aspirations. 1t
is not certain, of course that the courts
would decide that Col. Roosevelt is not a
citizen of New York.

A party without principles is a pub
lie evil; party has no right to exit but
for the maintenance of principles" That
as the opinion of Maj. Hanson as express
ed by him in a speech in Lowndes county
recently. Has the Populist party any
principles? If it has. they are diametri-
cally opposed to the principles of the Re
publican party. The Populists would have
to get rid of their principles before they
could vote for Republicans, as they are
asked to do In the Eleventh district; and
without principles, their party would be
"a public evn.' and have no right to ex-
list, according to the Republican leader
quoted. There is. therefore, only one cor
rect thing for white Populists who desire
to vote for the Republican ticket 10 do,
and that is to get out Of the Populist rar-
ty and join the Republican. And We do
no think many white Populiste will DO
that. They will, on the other hand, vote
against the Republicans. whose principles
they have always opposed.

Gov. Stevens of Missouri has inaugural
ed campaign against the 'Shylocks' of
his state, and says he means to drive them
out of business. The 'Shylocks' are those
persons who loan money at the very hign-
est possible rate of interest they can get,
and keep the noses of their debtors on the
grindstone for years after they have paid
in interest many times the principal bor-
rowed. Nearly every community knows
the class. Gov. Stevens fight will be
watched with interest. 1t is to be hoped
that he will accomplish his purpose. The
"Shylocks" are worse enemies of the pub
lie than many of the trusts and "octo-
puses" that the reformers are continually
bowling so loudly against.

Well, Savannah has been chosen as the
port from which troops are to be en-
barked for Cuba We are glad now that
we did not follow the lead of the es-
teemed News and Courier and try to belit-
tie Charleston's advantages as a port for
the embarkation Of troops. We have
thought all along that Charleston was 60
ing to be disappointed, and we feel now
much as Commodore Philip felt at the
naval battle off Santiago, when he said:

A GREENSBORO, N. G., astrologer pre-
diets that the next thirty days will be
characterized in New York by an excep-

fires. He says further that gilt-edged
stocks and bonds will be selling from $40
to 500 on the 500 lower by Nov. l than
they are at present. Cotton. he declares,
has not yet touched bottom, but will go
much lower during October. A few more
prophecies like this. and the fellow will
qualify himself to run for Congress on a
Populist ticket.

The sharp eyes OF shrewd critics and
would-be rivals win be upon the port of
Savannah during the embarkation of
troops here, and any untoward incidents
would be scrap-booked and used against
the port for years TO come Therefore,
there must be no untoward incidents.
Everything that has been promised must
be performed to the letter. 1t must be
freshly demonstrated that Savannah is
1.-THE" seaport of the South Atlantic. She
was chosen by the war department upon
her merits and the department must be
shown that IL made no mistake.

The Quarantine Question.
From the Chattanooga Times Dem).

Whether this years experience has
cured us all of the foolish notion that the
local quarantine and the sacred liberties
of the people are "off the same piece"
may be doubted. The right to harry, be-
devil and poison each other, has a very
firm hold on the popular mind. Ii is a
creation in that mind of The agile
political demagogue, and he has not ceased
from protting out of the wretched super
sttion. Another. or maybe two, trials of
the shotgun scheme, may be needed TO
work radical cure.

Father Killed and Son In jured

Peter Tolan was almost instantly
killed and his son Hugh seriously iniur-
ed by fall of top coal at Alaska collery,
near Mount Carmel, on Friday morning.
They had fired shot in the breast the
night previous, which loosened u large
boulder overhead While the men were
ascending the chute Friday morning the
mass gave way without a moments
warning. Peter was caught directly
beneath the fall, and sustained a frac-
tured skull, from which he died few
moments later. His son was not caught
in the fall, but was injured by large
piece which had become detached from
the main body and struck him while he
was fastening for assistance. Peter
Tolan leaves a wife and four children.

The exposure in the TRIBUNE early
last month of the queer business meth
DDS of the company which sold build
ing lots and farms at Milmay, n. j.. to
people of lower Luzerne, through one
Moore, a repnted agent of the land
owners, gave the numerous victims
hereabouts great anxiety, and some of
them have since tried to get at the
bottom of the fraud. The Hazleton
Standard on Friday published letters
from E. L. Wood, of Philadelphia, pres-
dent OF the land company, which were
sent to Squire Jones, of West Hazeton.
in reply to requests for information
concerning the account of Anton Stoff
y Harwood Pole.
Stoif, it appears, paid s207.5O for IA
iive-acre plot, but received no deed for
the land. President Wool says the com
pany's books show but $50 paid ON this
account. The deed for the property, he
claims, was given to Moore. Wood says
he does not know Moores address at
present, and repudiates his sales by
stating that he was not especially en-
ployed by the land company.
The general opinion of the North Side
victims is that they were buncoed, and
few, If any, will spend any money trying
to recover what they have lost. Never
theless, it is pity that these scoundrels
should escape.

Anthracite Coal Trade.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The feature of the anthracite coal
trade is the greater inquiry for the
demand for deliveries. Although vessel
freights from Buffalo to Chicago have
gone up from 20 cents to so cents ton.
Western consumers are calling for the
coal they have bought and the same
situation prevails in New England.
Coal is, therefore, moving very freely
and the trade may be- called active. But
prices are very bad. Stove coal is sell
ing in New York harbor as low as ever
it did and there is no reason to expect
there will be any improvement this sea-
son. The companies are mining all the
coal they can handle and under these
circumstances higher prices are not to
be looked for.
