The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-07-02

The present year promises to become a
notable one in the matter of races. AL
ready Some events of great interest have
been held-the eight-oared boat races But
the" event of the year. the International
yacht race, is still a matter of the flu
ture. That prospective race has the close
attention of two continents, and is being
looked forward to by many of the people
of a third continent and the islands of
the sea. Tt is conceded that the two
yachts which are to meet In October are
the most perfect vessels of their class that
ever came off the ways They are scien-
tihcally constructed racing machines, and
under favorable conditions may be expect
ed to lower the sailing records of yachts.
1t is to be observed, however, that
while these racing machines have stirred
the deepest public interest, the public takes
but little interest in what may be called
machine racing or racing by machinery.
The contests which stir up most enthu-
siasm are those the results of which de-
pend upon the skill. speed, pluck or en-
durance Of animated beings. like men and
horses. There are vessels capable of max
ing twice or thrice the speed of the Co
| lumbia and the Shamrock. This govern
ment has torpedo boats that can do TWEEN
ty-five knots an hour; there are private
yachts in the country that can do equally
well, and there Is in England little YES
sci called the Turbinia, for which a speed
of thirty-fve to forty miles an hour is
claimed. But these crafts are driven by
steam. Commerce and navies have re-
placed sails with steam; but the sports
mans craft is still driven by the slower
but more exacting power of the wind Be
tween steam craft, race is merely a
matter of machinery; in a sailing race
all of the skill in seamanshlp of each crew
is called into play. and If the contesting
craft be equally good, the best sailor will
win.
So little interest is taken in machine
racing, as such, that no contest of the
kind of any moment has taken place in
years. There Is talk now of a race be
tween American and French automobile
| carriages. It may be that the affair viii
be arranged, but it appears difficult to
work up much enthusiasm respecting it
on either side of the ocean. Meantime.
whenever an event involving the personal
prowess of living individuals is arranged.
whether it be a rowing race, a bicycle
race, a race for the baseball pennant, a
! prize fight, a sailing race, a horse race,
or something else, interest and enthusl-
asm are at once aroused. In view of this
trait Of human nature which admires most
a contest OF brain and bone and muscle.
1t is safe to predict that whether or not
the work horse shall be displaced by the
always with US.

A story of 1892.

During the presidential campaign of 1892,
says w. E. Curtis in the Chicago Record
Senator Quay and Senator Elkins, who
were managing the Republican interests,
aud ex-senator Brice and Henry Waiter
son, who were in charge of the Demo-
cratic headquarters, used to live at the
same hotel, and frequently dined together.
One evening. as they were sitting at the
same table, Mr.. Brice looked over to Sen
ator Quay and asked:
How are you folks off for money!
I'VE are very hard up" replied the Re
publican chairman. How are you get
ting along?"
We'll" said Brice, whenever we want
money l go down into my own pocket
for it. have not been able to get much
anywhere else"
You are lucky to have a pocket to go
into" said Senator Quay. If l had
money of my own I would not grumble.' -

Humor of the schools.

Says the Philadelphia Record: 1.-THE ex-
aminations in The public schools this
month have been as usual productive of
crop of funny answers to questions in
the various lines Of study. Among the
funny responses were three made by
young scholars, who were being examined
in geography. The question was: De
scribe a savage One little boy wrote
that a savage is a person who wears no
clothes except underclothes; anothers an
swer was: The savage IS black and wears
only a rag while the third response was:
"A savage doesn't wear anything except
hair and a feather stuck in it. A class
that was being examined ian anatomy was
asked to describe a body. There were va
rious laughable answers submitted, but
the most amusing description was the fol-
lowing, given by a 12-year-old girl, who
had in mind an article of wear: A BODY
is something to hold up the panties.'

TnE kENTrcKY TIcKET.

The Republican papers contain dis
patches from Louisville, Ky, predicting
that the ticket which The Democrats OF
that state nominated last week will be de-
feated. There isn't any doubt that the Re
publican leaders in all parts Of the country
hope that it viii be defeated, because it's
success Will be extremely encouraging to
the national Democracy. The electoral vote
of Kentucky was counted for Mckinley
and the state now has a Republican Gov
ernor A Democratic victory this year
would mean that Kentucky will be found
In the Democratic column in the presiIeu-
tlai election next year. 1t would also mean
that The Democratic national convention
win re-aflrm the Chicago platform and re-
nominate Mr.. Bryan.
The reason il would mean the Chicago
platform aud Mr.. Bryan Is that the Ken
lucky convention re-endorsed the Chicago
platform, and named Mr. Bryan as its
cnoico for President in 1900. If the Ken
lucky Democrats therefore recover con-
troll OF the state it will be understood that
Democrats who left the party in 1896 have
returned, and, in all parts of the country,
will be found ready to stand by the party
in the contest in 1900.
Il is true that there are some things
against a Democratic victory. They mainly
concern the nominee for Governor, VIII
liam j Goebes. The railroads are against
him, and they are a power in Kentucky,
and some of the leading Democratic poll
uc!ans are secretly his enemies, because
l. hal t,a
they will have 10 play second fiddle to him
lie isn't a member OF one of those Old fam
lies who, for years. have regarded it as
their privilege TO furnish the Governors
and Senators and other officials of prom
iuence. He is a self-made man, a compar
atively young man, and is regarded as
possessing first-class ability both as
lawyer and as a politician.
The reason the railroads are against him
is that he is the author of some legislation
which is lninical to their interests. 1t as
the understanding that they used their in
fuence freely 10 defeat his nomination, and
1t is predicted that they will do all they
can to prevent him from becoming Gov
ernor.
The best judges of public sentiment in
Kentucky pretty generally agree in say
ing, however, that he win be elected by a
big majority. Gold Democrats will Join
with silver Democrats In voting for him.
The very fact that the railroads are
against him will help him, because the
people will be apt to believe that he is
fighting the railroads for their benefit. He
is probably the best political organizer
that kentucky has had for a long time.
That fact alone inspires confidence in his
success, and the belief that he win be
elected will lead many to vote for him
who otherwise would either vote against
him or not vote at all. His election win
have a tremendous influence in breaking
down whatever opposition there may be
to the re-affirmaton of the Chicago plat
form and the denomination OF Mr.. Bryan.

Three June Days.

From the Springfield Republican.
Grandpa sits out in the shaded porch
In his old armchair, al peaceful rest;
Half dreaming, half awake. he signs
AS he watches two birds in their new
built nest:
And the bright June sunshine lies over ALL
At every wind-breath the rose leaves fail
His thoughts turn back to another June
When, hopefully trusting, by his side,
Under this same vine-covered porch.
He tenderly led his new-wed bride,
1.-THE roses wefcome"-he laughingly said
Shaking down leaves on her fair young
head.
Oh, happy the years together spent!
They watched the coming Of bird and
bloom
With scare sorrow, but in love;
Till al last, on a June day shrouded in
: gloom
He followed in grief through the rose
wreathed door
The form that should enter again no more.
Twenty Summers the roses have bloomed,
A score of times the birds have nested,
So long it seems! he's watched alone
Since her loved form meath the sods has
rested
Now, the kind breezes soft blown from the
west,
strew gently the leaves DER her quiet
breast.
Out from the doorway a little child creeps,
Her hands outstretched in cooling gee;
With grandma's eyes and grandma S
name
Grandpa's own favorite of all is She
But the old mans day dreams are of the
dead
SIN tho rose-leaves faN on bar fair xvo,,r o.
head. Florence b. Tucker.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Indianapolis Qnd) Sentinel Dem)
says: 1--WE make our own laws. We elect
our own judges. We are our own Jurors.
And yet every case of lynching is a con-
demnation of our laws, our courts our
penal system. If a foreigner should say
to an American that our system of govern
ment is a failure, our laws bad our courts
rotten, our juries corrupt and our trials
farces, there would probably be some re-
sentiment expressed, and yet that is what
the people say who commit these lynch
ings. 1t is the only pretense of excuse
or justification they have. If they admit
that our laws and courts insure justice
they make themselves murderers without
even an actuating motive And what is
more, all those who excuse lynching make
the same sort of defense, and make IL
coolly and deliberately. In all earnest
ness, we urge that if we must have lynch
ing il is a thousand times better to have
it in accordance with the law than in de-
fiance of law. We do not believe that 1t
is the proper remedy, but if the majority
of the people think so let us try It, LET
us make the law that whenever a portion
of the people are apprehensive that the
courts will not do justice to an offender
they may seize him and execute him as
they deem proper. Under this law we
would at least escape the odium of law
lessness."
The Richmond Dispatch Oem) says:
Gen. Otis, in his report to the war de-
partment on the situation and conditions
in the Philippines, admits a big and stead
lily advancing percentage of sickness
among our soldiers This means aside
from the claims of the dependents of the
killed and the claims of the wounded a
pension list which at present no man can
calculate. 1t means a pension list that
must increase proportionately with the
size of the army it may be found neces-
sary to assemble on the islands 1t is self
demonstrating that the larger Gen. Otis
force, the greater will be the number of
men whose systems will be wrecked by
disease. 1t follows, therefore that the
grand total cost of the three luxuries mem
toned, and the grand total OF the taxa
ton it will take to pay it, are matters OF
the future and of speculation"
The Chicago News Qnd) says: "A
Pennsylvania steel company has contract
ed to furnish the Russian government
10000 tons Of rails for use on the Sibe
rian Railroad. The order represents an
outlay OF 100000 and 1t will require two
and a half years TO fill ii. Still there are
timid souls who will contend that the
steel rail industry is an infant requlr-
ing the highest protection nursing"

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 2. 1899

It appears. from the reports Of the Phil
adelphia Press, that Pennsylvania will get
not less than five of the cannon captured
in the spanish-American war. and that
Philadelphia. Allegheny, WIlzesbarre, Har-
risburg and Bradford will be the recipients
Georgia should get as many. 1t was at
first understood that each state would get
two guns Should Georgia get five guns,
Savannah ought to have no difficulty about
securing the two she has asked for. and
which were conditionaIy promised by the
Secretary of War; if she gets only two, sa-
yannah should receive one of them. 1t
seems to take Gov. Gambler a good, long
time to make up his mind what he is going
to recommend in the matter Of the Old
cannon.

says that the science teaches that love
