The attitude of Secretary Alger towards
the Michigan senatorship in successorship
TO Mcmillan is now clearly set forth The
secretary would like TO have the office. but
he will not scramble for it. Senator Nc
MiHan's term expires in 1901 hence there
is a plenty of time for developments, and
nothing in the secretary's remarks to indi-
cate that he has any intention of retiring
from the cabinet.

In the New York Evening Post of last
Saturday there appeared a letter from

be possessed of large fund of ready in
formation concerning literature and travel
Nevertheless the article, without any such
intention on the part of Mrs. Baylor, no
doubt, does injustice to Savannah In its
opening paragraph which reads: "Savan-
nah is generally known throughout the
South as the Forest City But it might
be almost appropriately designated as the
City of Fires and Parades.' Every other
day there is a big fire, and on the inter
mediate ones a military parade, so that its
5000 inhabitants never lack a sensation of
some kind Now, "a big fire" every
other day. would indicate extreme care
lessness on the part of the people, and ex-
IRENE inefficiency on the part of the nu-
nicipal government; and military parade
on each intermediate" day would suggest
a love of pomp and display, which could
hardly be called characteristic of couser-
vative and busy Savannah There has
been no big" fire here in months, and
mighty few small ones. The sketch as a
whole is so charmingly written that it is
a pity to have to take exceptions to the
beginning of it.

That section of the city west of Barnard
street is suffering from a defective street
car system, which will ultimately affect
property values seriously. The present
system has had a fir trial, and the uni
versaI verdict Is that it does not meet the
wants of the people. At present any per-
son living west Of Barnard street who
wishes to go south must walk to Whitaker,
since no car goes south on Barnard, and
one living west of Bull and want
ing to 60 north must walk to
Barnard or Abercorn street. The in
convenience entaned does not need to be
explained to those who are compelled to
do the best they can under the COM
panys rules. This system of running
cars all one way was devised by a gen
tleman who did not live in Savannah, and
whose knowledge Of the wants of the peo-
pie was probably obtained in the hotel
the present want seems to be to double
track Barnard street, make the Barnard
and Abercorn lines a beh, and run the
Whitaker street cars both ways, as was
formerly done. with switches or double
tracks at the wide streets on Whitaker,
there would be no difficulty about oper-
ating cars both north and south. The
people have "a right to demand that the
cars shall be operated upon plan in
which their convenience is considered.

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Columbus Is. CO State Dem) says:
IF the report be true that the Southern
has absorbed the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Norfolk and Western Railroad systems.
these acquisitions, with the South Caro-
lima and Georgia and the Atlantic and
Danville, will increase its mileage to near
ly 5000 niles-and that means that it will
be equal in extent to the Pennsylvania
railway system and a thousand or so miles
ahead of any other in the United States
or in the world. 1t is something pro-
digious, this Southern railway"
The Memphis Commercial Appeal Dem)
says: IF the antitrust law of Arkansas
could have been applied to an insurance
pool 1t could also have been applied to the
legal profession. to the doctors, to any
board of commerce and to any labor union
A pool to control or regulate prices is not
a trust. If it were, and laws like those
of Arkansas were passed against IL, then
modern commerce would soon be destroyed
and we would have TO go back 10 the dark
ages"
The Chicago Chronicle CDem) thinks Col
Funston may enter politics upon his re-
turn home. II says: "Funston's oppor-
tunities like Roosevelt's, are thick as the
leaves in Vallombrosa, because he is al
ways at the front. The Philippine cam
paign will probably be much longer drawn
out than the one in Santiago province
so the Funston star is but rising. May ii
never set until the Kansas hero becomes
tired of mere glory and concludes it is
time to run for President.

Interesting Trip of Local Wheelman
 Around Connecticut
 Chas. D. Sherman has just returned from ten days vacation trip, spend l ing most of the time in Litchfield coun- | ty. He left New Haven on Saturday afternoon. August G. and spent the first Sunday in the historic town of Litch- field. It has been truly said, There is only one Litchfleld."
 Within a walk of one-half mile from the center of the town along South street, the visitor passes birthpaces of several United States Senators, Con- | gressn1eu, Governors, Chief Justices and, Clergymen.
 l Passing up North Street in the oppo- site direction may be seen the childhood home of Harriet Beeoher Stowe. | The southern view from the cupola of | The Hawkhurst affords fine out | look of the Litchfield Hills and Bantam | Lake. This lake is the largest in the state and covers about 1000 acres. MT. | sherman went around the lake on his bicycle, distance of twelve miles. On leaving LitchieId. MT. sherman went on his wheel to Goshen, where he was the guest of MT. and Mrs. Edward Norton, MT. Norton is the owner and proprietor of the cheese factory where the celebrated pineapple" cheeses are made.
 Between Goshen and Norfolk Ivy Mountain, three miles from Goshen is passed. A tower crowns the summit from which fine view of the surround ing country is obtained
 MT. Sherman made the ascent of Ivy Mountain which is 1,6i2 feet above sea level While in Norfolk, MT. sherman called upon George A. Marvin, Editor of The Chimes, which Is published during the months of July and August in the interests and welfare of this beau tiful town. Norfolk has two fine hotels in the 'Hilhurst" and the Stevens House. and gem of public library which tends to make this town favor ite with tourists and summer geusts.
 From Norfolk. MT. sherman wheeled to Canaan thence to Ashley Falls, Sheffield and Great Harrington in the Berkshires
 Crossing the Housatonic River at Canaan, his next objective point was the Twin Lakes in the town of Salisbury Between Chapinville and Salisbury, he wheeled along the base of the highest mountain-Bear Mountain-in Connecti- cut. Bear Mountain is 2,355 feet above sea level and on the summit is a mon ument in the form of pyra mid, bearing an inscription giving the height of the mountain, and stating it to be the high est land in our state.

 What little personal sentiment finds it's way into his poems seems to cluster round that simple, rustic flower, the poppy. Even here the sentiment Is not devoid of moral purpose. His religion, as simple-sweet as his philosophy, is expressed thus in "A Prayer"
 ''Teach me, Father, how to go
 Softly as the grasses grow;
 Hush my soul to meet the shock Of this wild world as a rock;
 But my spirit, prompt with power, Make as simple as a flower.
 Let the dry heart fill it's cup, Like a poppy looking up;
 Let life lightly wear her crown, Like poppy looking down,
 When its heart is filled with dew, And its life begins anew"
 Yet this is the man whose words of protest against false social conditions have rung across the continent, and awakened a worldwide controversy If his poem. "The Desire of Nations," were as Well-knoWn as that other, it's companion. perhaps there would be less thoughtless arraignment of the Hoe Man, and the critics would hush their silly voices in wonder. Markham does not claim to be a teacher of political economy, and either his theories are in- complete, or they are incompletely eX- pressed but he has succeeded in aWak- ening thought on this all-important top ic, where formerly was complacent ig norance. He has outlined. albeit vague ly, social state in which justice and fraternity shall be supreme, and leaves us to build the poem into fact

THE POLICE GAME.

The New Haven police baseball nine was defeated at Savin Rock yesterday afternoon by the Hartford police nine by the score 11-7, this being the second time that the Hartford nine has beaten the local police nine this season. The game was witnessed by a crowd of about 500 persons and was an unusually good exhibition of amateur ball play ing. Among those who watched it were Police Commissioners Lee, Clark and Avery of this city, Commissioners Wise, Reynolds and Osborn of Hartford, AL dermen Unger and Beecher, Police Sur geons Gompertz and Butler and other city officials. The New Haven nine had the game well in hand until the sixth inning, when bad case of rattIes at tackled the New Havens and they al- lowed the Hartford men to run in eight scores. New Haven led off in the first inning with three scores, having shut out their opponents, who were first at bat. Neither side scored again until the sixth inning. when Hartford secured eight runs, winning the game.
 In the fourth inning Patrolman Con- molly of the New Haven team made one of the incest catches which has been seen on the Savin Rock grounds this summer. Hurley of Hartford sent long fly sailing out into left field and Connolly was obliged to run back for it. He could not quite reach it then, but jumping caught it in his right hand and the grand stand crowd yelled. An other feature of the game was Carey's home run, which also brought Sergeant Doherty from second over the home plate.
 At the close of the game banquet was held in the Sea View hotel.
