ADMIRE THE GRANT.

| hhNe you seen the DfaUt! llat
seems to be the question upon the
lips of all those who have gazed
upon the huge proportions of the
United States Army Transport
Grant, lying very nearly the length
OF the Pacific Mail wharf.
The transport certainly mono
polizes the attention of the water
front, aud deservingly.
Those who are fortunate enough
to 60 aboard the big boat have
many marvellous things whereof
to te | their friends. Uncle Sam
oever does anything by halves,
and this vessel is good illustra
ton of that fact. Everything that
modern ingenuity and experience
can devise for the comfort, health
and general welfare of those who
travel by the army transport is in
use, and a more up.to date vessel
than the Grant does not sail the
seas.
Electric faos and ice machines
form an important part of her
equipment, and a liberal supply Of
salt water showers aud big can.
vas plunge bath 60 a long way in
adding to the comfort OF troops
during transportation. The *
crlleut order and discipline Oh
served aboard are most creditable
to the men as we'll as the officers.
The commissary department
boasts a greater variety than that
of any other transport.
The Grant has capacity of
1850 troops, l25 officers and $500
tons of cargo; she attains a speed
OF II knots and registers $3.50 tons
She is $50 feet long, 81 feet beam,
81 feet depth OF hold, carries four
boilers which can produce steam
equal to 5000 horse power, is fit-
ted with triple expansion en-
gines, has twin screws, and her
propellers are 81 feet pitch.
On her arrival in San Francisco
on April 30, the Grant com pleted
trip almost around the world. She
left New York January 10, touched
at Gibraltar on February 2, Port
Said Feb. s, Suez on the 10th,
Colombo on the 26th, Singapore
on the 4th of March, arriving 10
Manila Bay on the 10th of March.
Sailing from there on the 25th
she arrived at Shanghai on the
30th, going from there to Nagasa
Xxi, arriving April 6. From Maya
saki the Grant went directly TO
San Francisco, taking "a days to
make that port from Japan.
Before reaching the Coast the
transport lost one man, a fireman,
he died of smallpox on April 20,
and was buried at sea.
Many of the troops now aboard
have seen service, and all are i'm
patient to reach Manila.
The steward holds rather a re-
sponsible position on this huge
vessel, for it takes 1900 loaves of
bread every day to feed the peo-
pie that she carries. Beef is
served twice day, a little matter
of 100 pounds at a meal. For
dinner yesterday aboard the Grant
one of the items on the bill of fare
was nearly 1000 pounds of cab
bage.
The troops pass away the time
while at sea, when they are not
drilling, by playing cards, shoot
ing craps, boxing and similar
am easements. The first two days
out from San Francisco, however,
were mostly spent in ses-sicko ess.

PACKING HOUSE AT AMERIcUs.

In our dispatches a day or two ago it
was stated that Western capitalists had
determined to establish packing house
at Americus 1t is a source of satisfac-
ton that that city is 10 have an institu-
ton of that kind. South Georgia is a
splendid section of country for cattle rails
ing. All that is necessary to make the
business a very great success is
knowledge of it. Many. of course, who
will undertake il will fail, not because
there is not money in it, because they do
not understand it, and will not take the
uoub.e to become thoroughly acquainted
with it.
We mention this movement at Americas
in favor of a packing house because it is
the impression of some of the best bust
ness men of this and the adjoining states
that there is no better place for pack
ing house in the South than this city.
Recently We published a letter from a
prominent man living in Alabama, asking
why steps were not being taken to estab-
fish packing house here. 1t seems that
he and other Alabamians had been dis

because they would be the chief beneh-
Charles. The time is not far distant when
their freights from lumber and naval
stores will begin to fall off, and unless
they encourage cattle raising and grain
growing their roads will not have as much

How He Won the Day.

A small Cleveland boy had a dreadful
stock of slang at his tongues end to the
great grief and humiliation of his mother
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A good
deal of this slang he learns in the street,
and some of it he gets from a wicked
Ercse.
The other day while out with his sled
ne had bad tumble on the ice, and bruised
his side quite severely. He isn't TOO big a
boy to be petted by mamma and he came
hustiing into the house to get her help
and comfort
He bounced into the parlor, and there
sat a kindly faced gentleman with big
dark eyes and curling beard
This is the way the boy described what
followed:

We had a pretty hot canvass in Arkansas
this summer, and I stumped most of the

and dividing the total of the whisky con-

A World of Change.

You know, we have to do lot of money
changing said an old street car .conduc-
tor according 10 the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. Week days we make considerable
change for people who just ask us to
change a 81 bin or a s. bill, but Sunday

mat pays fare wants 10 know if we can't
furnish her change"
The car was pretty well filed and was on
It's way up the avenue. Following a wink
from the conductor, The Tales of the
IoWn man stepped inside the car. The
frst woman handed out a ticket, and the
second did the same, but added a mo-
ment later:
can you change 80 cents for me?"
Inc conductor made the change and col
lected one or two more tickets before an
other woman said
Can you please change s. for me so
that l can get 10 cents out of it?"
Inc conductor handed out a couple of
ollls and some silver and went on down
the aisle OUT of some twenty women In
the car, fully a half dozen asked for
change, and The last two or three were
obliged to go TO church and either dron a
half dollar in the box or look sweetlv in

PER SONAL.

Some colleagues of Congressman Mudd
solemnly declare that the Maryland man
still wears the Identical red necktie which
encircled his throat when he first came
10 Congress. Originally il was a flaming
affair, absolutely sparkling with redness,
but it now has lost much of its brightness,
and wonder is being expressed when Nj.
Mudd will get a new tie.
So unpopular in Newfoundland was Sir
Herbert Murray, the retiring governor of
the island, that when he left for England
there was absolutely no public demonstra-
ton of regret at his departure. This state
of affairs, unique in the colony's history
was due to Sir Herbert's unfrendly re-
lations with both political parties on the
island He was the first retiring governor
to leave the colony without farewell adj
dresses from leading dignitaries of church,
state, commerce and the learned profess
sions.
In one of DR.. Pusey's letters, recently
published, the following story is tod: In
1881, when Mr.. Gladstone was prime min
lister, he was spending a few days in Ok
ford, and he called to see DR.. Pussy. The
visit was for many reasons an act of the
most kindly consideration, and it gave DR..
Pussy the most genuine pleasure. "Only
think he said playfully TO one of his
friends later in the day "of the prime min
lister being kept waiting in my hall while
the servant came to ask whether 1 would
see him." Then he went on to say how
very kind he thought it of Mr.. Gladstone,
with all he had to think about as prime
minister, to come and call on him, and he
added in a tender tone: He was so af-
fectionate; when he went away he kissed
my hand and knelt down and asked for
my blessing"

MACHINE POLITICS.

On aast Tuesday there were two exhibits
published in New York state showing the
evils of machine politics One of the ex-
hibits was published by the state and
showed a deficit of $4OO. 900 in the depart
ments of public buildings and public works
in the year 1898. In the city of New York
a complete list of the employees was pub
lished showing the Increase that had been
made in salaries in the past year. II ap-
peared from this list that the number of
office holders had been increased greatly
and that there had been an immense
amount added to the salary budget
1t was frankly stated by those respon-
sible for the spending of 100000 of the
states money more than had been APP
propriated that they had been Influenced
to put men on the pay rolls by prominent
politicians when. as a matter of fact.
there was absolutely nothing for these
men TO do. Machine politics was respon-
sible for the reckless and unauthorized
spending of the peoples money. In the
city of New York there are hundreds of
men being cared for who are of no use
to the public whatever. The city would
not suffer in the least if their services were
dispensed with. And many men are
drawing salaries out of proportion to the
services they render Within the last
year the salary account in the city of New
York has been increased very many
thousands of dollars. There would nave
been no such increase if il had not been
for machine politics, Political workers
had to be taken care of.
And so it goes in about every city Of
the country Candidates before they are
elected to office. make fine promises 20
the people. They say that they favor
wedding out the drones from the Offices
and cutting down the number of places
filled by useless officials. But what. as a
general thing, do they do? Is it not fact
that they make two new places
for every one they abolish? 1t certainly
is. Aud when an administration goes ont
of office it is found that men have hean
carried on the salary rolls
without the public having knowl-
edge of the fact The men who
are put in power to manage the affairs of
a city or a state do not mean to be dis
honest, but they haven't the backbone 10
resist the pressure of the political ma
chine. The men who help run the politi-
cal machine must be provided for. Now
and then man is found who lives up
10 his promises. Such men are quickly
discovered by the public. there are so few
Of them. 1t is expected that Gov. Roose
Welt will prove to be one of the few. If
he should, higher political honors will be
his.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Pittsburg Post Dem) says: THE
United States is the richest country in the
world. but ii is the most prodigal and
wastful of its resources. The public debt
was increased last month $4,O00.G00 The
army and navy and pension bills for next
year cali for $342 100000. The Nicaragua
canal is counted or as costing $40, 1000.
The river and harbor BIZ win demand $780,
900 600 The appropriations for the session
win probably exceed a billion of dollars,
and instead of a billion dollar Congress it
win be a two-billion dollar Congress.
The Springfield Republican Qnd) says:
Senator Teller is a funny kind of debater
First, he says that we don't want the
Philippines if an independent government
can be maintained there. Then he runs on
TO expatiate glowingly on the coal deposits
in the islands, and suggests that American
possession of them would be highly advan-
tageous. As for the coal deposits the
Hartford Times says There is not a
pound of good steamer coal in the whole
Philippines so far as any geologist has
yet been able to find out"
Senator Carter of Montana is a leading
silver Republican. Senator Carter" says
the Cleveland Leader (Rep), was able
to forget his love for silver long enough
TO utter an able defense for the President"
Yes" rejoins the Washington Post Qnd)
land there are people who allege that Sen
ntor Garter might be able to survive an
unpleasant happening TO the silver ques-
ton"
Is there another official controversy
threatened? The Cleveland Plain Dealer
Dem) says: up to the present time the
controversy between Secretary Long and
Minister Woodford has been conducted
with punctilous pollteness, but there is
no knowing when the vials of unbridled
wrath may be uncorked.'
The Chattanooga Times CDem) says:
THE country does want TO see some dis
missing done, but Miles name is not down
on the list"

Storm.

Frances Bartlett in Boston Transcript
storm and stress on the land
And stress and storm on the sea;
And a wind that tolls for the unblest souls
That asleep in its green caves be.
The raindrops splash on the pane;
The fogs sweep in from the East;
And the seagulls fly DER the breakers high
On the hearts of the drowned to feast.
A horror lies on the sea;
On the land does a terror fall;
Twas in storm like this sailed the fated
ship
To the death that lay wait for all.
And the laugh of the treacherous sea
Rings out DER their unknown graves;
While its scorn leaps high to the cloud
wracked sky,
With the hiss of its conquering waves.
For the ships may sail from the East,
And the ships may sail from the West
They may pierce with their anchors its
untamed heart,
And furrow with steel its breast
If it pleasure that heart to wait,
1t can smile like some guiltless thing,
And no words can tell of the magic spell
The throb OF its surges sing.
But its hunger is heavy 20 see;
And its anger is death to feel:
In the awesome hour that beholds its
power,
Like reeds are the ribs of steel.
1t is hungry for souls tonight;
1t has won, it would win once more.
1t is sick of the wrecks il has dashed on
the rocks
And strewn DER the sand-paved shore.
Oh! the moan of the wind and the rain
OH the crash of the seas fierce hand,
AS it filings the gage of its quenchless rage
At the feet OF the cliffs on the strand!
God pity the ships that reel
Ger it's pitiless breast tonight,
And guide their way through the storm
swept bay,
Ere the dawn of the longed-for light.
And God pity the souls that wait,
In anguish and nameless dread,
Till the morn shall wake and the storm
shall break,
And the sea toss back their dead

Recent congresses have been rather de-

indications the next Congress will be sup
piled with eloquence to burn, and which
will burn. Mr. Quarles, the new senator
from Wisconsin. is said to be an elocution-
list of remarkable power, and the same has
been claimed for Senator Beveridge and
Senator Simon, new men from the West.
