dress of welcome was responded
to by Rev. DR.. Lansing Burrows,
ID. ID, of Augusta, who is secre>
t"ry of the Southern Baptist Con-

the welcome was accepted in the
spirit in which it WAS extended.
DR.. Burrows touched upon the
policy of Imperialism during his
address. Tremendous changes
had occurred since the convention
met in Augusta a year ago, DR..
Burrows SAID. He spoke of the
war and its results. "The op-
portunity for which we prayed
has come,' he said. "The shells
of Sampson and the guns of Lee
have made for us an open door. -
DIR. Burrows declared that he was
an expansionist and an imperialist.
He was calmly watching the de
velopments of the Providence of
God, and was not troubled about
what the future might bring

WaI<iHg-tp Sounds.

From the New York Sun.
The days are so long now and sunrise
has been put back so far" said city
dweller, THAT you can't tell any more when
to get up by the light. There is always
season in the year when the time to get
up is when it begins to get light; but now
the sun is well up at your getung-up time
and its light affords no guide whatever
But now there are sounds that serve as
indications of the hour, and the right one
comes by association TO tell us that our
getting-up hour has come with as much
certainty as we know it by the growing
light.
I'VE began unconsciously at first to be
aware of the traffic In the street, the in
creasing number Of milk wagons and bak-
ars' wagons, and so on, and this may be
our alarm clock. Or 1t may be that it's
the ashman that tells us. He comes along
at the same hour, reaching this point on
his route with almost unvarying certain
ty. We mark his coming by the not UNI
musical catter of the emptied cans as he
drops them back upon the sidewalk, sounds
far distant at first, but rapidly coming
nsarer But whatever it may be, we SOON
err or later discover some sound that comes
along about the time we ought to get up,
and pretty soon We find ourselves waking
regularly with that sound in our ears"

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. May % 1899.
There seems to be something back of the
unusual interest taken in the franchise
legislation at Albany. | asked one of the
New Workers who mingles politics with
business, or business with politics, why
there was much uneasiness. 1t is impos-
sible not to observe the feeling which pre-
walls Don't you see,' he said. what
comes from setting bad example. There
may not be anything very bad in taxing
franchises as real estate. l suppose it is
true that some of the states have statutes
of that nature. But if we get started here
in New York, it won't be long till We Will

western man who is in town to carry

situation more biuntly. He said: They are
getting scary of politics in Wall street.
You know when We have anything big on
hand we have to come down here for the
money, though we sometimes bluff them
into believing that We have plenty out west
and are just letting them have the privilege
of sharing in good thing. They are all
uneasy at seeing much in the papers
about the trusts, If this anti-corporation
legislation gets started in New York the
next thing we are looking out for IS anti
trust legislation. That's what they are all
afraid of, and it's getting harder every day
to do anything in Wall street

Lawyers Think 1t No Wrong.

OF course no lawyer sees anything wrong
in this kind of practice and whether he
does or not 1t will always go on. But as ii
tax legislation at Albany the public seems
opening its eyes to the degree to which big
law firms are depending on political infiu-
ence for their retainers. The prophecy now
is that the reaction will be so strong that
some of the firms will lose either their DO
litical or their legal standing. and with their
usefulness thus restricted their practice will
naturally fall. At least this is the talk
which l hear everywhere. The public is
not specially concerned with Mr.. Croker :
guaranty company Mr.. Platts guaranty
company or whether they divide business
between them when there would be no busi-
ness if their political backing were lacking
But when d good many other things Of the
same sort come out and one circumstance
after another shows the extent to which
politics is used for private interest, public
sentiment does begin to have an effect
| suppose a temporary reform IS all that
can be expected, for after a while other
lawyers will come to the front either as
politicians reformerS and will take
their retairers from the corporations which
need their moral standing in the community
or their political standing with Tamma nv
or with the bosses in the legislature. These
lines are written with proper apologies to
the legal profession everywhere. | know
of course, that the temple of justice would
come down if an eminent lawyer ever re-
fused retainer because he thought il was
based on anything except his conspicuous
legal ability. But, just the same, a condt-
ton sometimes arises, and that condition
exists in New York today. It has an in
f1nitely more den1oralizing effect on public
affairs and good government that the police
blackmail and the other petty eXtortions
which 1t IL shown are practiced on the pro-
