Her Delegation to Make n Strong Bid
For the Next Convention.
Augusta is making a strong play for the
next annual reunion of the Georgia divis-
ion. The Augusta veterans not only have
a very large delegation in the city, but
strong reinforcements are expected to-day
and with this showing OF force the Angus
tans fully expect to capture the meeting
tomorrow.
Augusta has two fully uniformed camps
in attendance upon the reunion, something
which no other city can claim. In fact,
there are no other fully uniformed camps
in attendance. TIE Augusta contingent
came down on special train yesterday
morning and marched through the streets
to the he headquarters at the De Soto. Camp
No. 4S5 came down 60 strong under com
mand of Capt. b. II. Smith, Jr. The other
officers are Lieut.. w. NJ. Dunbar, Lieut..
NJ. X. Butler Lieut.. John c. Mcdonald
and Adjt. G. w. Mclaughlin. This camp
has a very neat gray uniform, that of the
officers being of a rather stylish appear
ance.
Camp No 1904 brought down IS men. This
camp is commanded by Capt. McDermott
with Lieuts. John Harris and c. A. SHAY

CRIME IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Editor of The Tribune
Sir As many of your readers are in
terested In the gold fields of South Africa
| have thought that the following ac-
count of the moral condition of things in
Johannesburg, the capital of the gold
fields, might prove a pleasing surprise
to them. The quotation which | have
copied Is from a report of a lecture by
DIR. Krause, the public prosecutor at
johannesburg, which appeared in the
Weekly Free Press of Kimberley. DIR.
Krause is very reliable gentleman, and
the paper from which ] have taken the
extract is a most reliable paper. DR..
Krause says
at is my experience, that as far as Sc
riOus crime Is concerned, johannesburg,
considering the cosmopolitan nature of
its population, and 1t Babel of tongues,
is one of the most orderly mining camps
or cities in the world. No doubt our
court rolls are daily swollen by offenses
of petty nature, and even last year the
total number of complaints booked at
the charge office amounted to about A.
900, The number of kafir pass-law cases.
Kafr burglares, Kafir assaults (some
serious, even ending i'm death, and caused
principally by the abOminable illicit
liquor traffic, form, however, the largest
contingent of this at first sight abnor-
mally high figure, The scum of the
world has practically been washed ashore
here and still most of these men are
known, marked, and watched. Life and
property in any part of this town are
more secure than In the back slums of
London, Paris or New York Although
we have recently had in our midst the
perpetratton of deplOrable and, up to this
moment, undiscovered crimes, We have
not yet had, and | hope never will have,
a local Jack the Ripper or a Jabez Bal
four, Daily, crimes OF the most heinous
nature are committed in these large Eu-
/ ropean and American cities to which no
| clue exists, and of which the perpetra
| tors will never be discovered. If | had
| the time I would be able to relate TO you
known and authenticated cases in these
| cities, which would make your hair
! stand on end"
These facts given by the highest an
| thority in tha country, on such n ques-
| tion, will, ! hope give some consolation
! TO tho readers of The Tribune who have
| friends ana relations I'm that distant land.
| Very truly,

The Work of a Subordinate.

The Yale Review. edited by President
Arthur r. Hadley, in an article on the
Philippine problem, remarks: The
only way by which we can get into a
position consistent with our ideals is
to turn our back on conquest, come
to terms with Aguinaldo and the other
native authorities Of the islands and
offer them elf-government and pro-
lection against foreign aggression. If
they refuse a reasonable proposition OF
that character, one which honestly re-
nounces conquest, then the RESPONSE
bility be theirs for the consequences.
We expended an immense sum OF
money and sacrificed precious lives to
deliver cuba. Can we not also sacri-
flee our pride and the prospective pro-
fits Of the china trade for the same
cause Of liberty in the Pacilic?"
President Hadley evidently did not
see this article ere it appeared in print,
else he would have seen that 1t over
looks the historical fact that precisely
such an offer was made to the native
Filipnos, honestly and in good faith,
and refused by them contemptuously.
We refer to the proclamation Of Presi-
dent Schurman. Of the Philippine com
mission, defining American intentions
and Offering TO the resident inhabi-
tants self-rule proportional to demon
strated capacity. This offer merely
amplifed the earlier proclamation of
General Merritt which held out in SDir-
ii the same promise. Instead of TAX
ing us at our word Agunaldo's men
preferred to plot massacre and destruc-
tion and fired on our soldiers in pre-
mature pursuance of that purpose.
Liberty will not suffer from Ameri-
can guardianship of it in the Pacific
and Arthur T. Hadley well knows il.

HUMAN NATURE STUDIES.
A Question of Grammar.

The Peace conference at The Hague
may have been n political failure, but
1t has been an arena in which the
American delegates have won many
laurels. The least-known member OF
the body is the one who has attracted
the largest amount of the worlds at
tention. This, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch, is the secretary, Frederick W.
Hollis. n member of the, New York bar.
He was admirably qualified for the
post. His father, German by birth,
is an eminent Lutheran clergyman, and
the son speaks both German and Eng
lish. His selection as secretary was
warmly advocated by Commissioner
Seth Low, who had before this recog-
nized Mr.. Hollis fitness for the office.
His plan of international mediation
and arbitration was marked by sim
plicity, efficiency and equity. The
phraseology was so excellent as to re-
celve the praise of the great European
jurists who were opposed to his ideas.
Digests of his plan were published with
full credit, by every European nation.
OF Mr.. Hollis career as lawyer
many stories are told, of which the
following Is one:
On one occasion in the court room
Mr. Hollis was interrupted with the
questions:
Suppose there was three defend
ants"
THAT, my dear SIR" retorted Hollis,
''is question Of grammar and not of
law"

Ready to Pay the Debt.

Some years ago an affray among the
miners of the west resulted in murder,
and Senator John NJ. Thurston, Of Ne
braska, believing the accused to have
been inocent in intention, look up his
case and greatly mitigated the lads
punishment. Six months afterward
man, armed to the teeth, appeared
in Thurston's office, relates the Youths
Companion.
"Be you Squire Thurston?'
Yes"
Re you the man that defended Jack
Bailey at court?"
The senator, thinking his last hour
was come, again answered, Yes" q.
We'll, I'm Jack Baileys pardner, and
I've come to pay you. 1 haven't got
any money, but I'm a man Of honor
Anybody in town you don't like"
AS the senator smilingly disclaimed
any thirst for booty or blood the call
er insisted incredulously, Put on your
hat, squire, and just walk down the
street. See anybody you don't like
throw up your thumb and I'll pop him."

His Hands Were Full.

Touching the painful position OF a
small man in large place, the De-
troit Free Press tells a story of Jonas
Howard, of Indiana. When Mr. How
ard went to congress, 1t says, he left
behind him a devoted body OF con-
stituents who fancied that great per-
sonal benefits would come to them
through Mr. Howard's powerful pres
ence in the halls of national wisdom.
One of these rural adherents, a small
farmer, with some momentous political
designs on his mind, followed Mr..
Howard to Washington in eager pur-
suance of that mysterious object. He
returned in about five days, seemingly
much elated.
We'll. BILL" a town acquaintance
saluted him, did you see Washington
and Mr.. Howard and did you get what
you went after?"
"Ya-as, l seen Washington" he re-
Piled grumpiy, land l seen Jonas; but

Found He Was Through.

Judge Stein is known as being at
times an abrupt, somewhat arbitrary
judge, when OCCASION seems to require
these qualities, says the Chicago Re-
cord. Young practitioners quake in
wardly when they appear before him.
The judge knows the law, perhaps, as
few on the bench do, and has no SYM
pathy for the 'lightweights of the pro-
fession.
The other day an attorney was maxi
ing a long argument to the court He
talked loud and waved his arms a
great deal. The judge was visibly
bored, and spectators watched curious
ly for an outburst. But the lawyer
did not see the ever-increasing signs
of displeasure.
There can be no two sides to this
case" shouted the attorney. Before
l am through l intend"
you're through now" suddenly ex-
claimed Judge Stein, rising and wav-
ing the speaker to his seat with a
dark frown. The lawyer gasped, sank
into his seat and that case was ended.

The Reason Was Sufficient.

A witness for the defense had been
examined, when the prosecuting soli-
citor stood up to crush him.
Solicitor-Why did you hide Sullivan
in your house on that Sunday night?
Witness-I did not see Sullivan at
all that night.
Solicitor 1lnowlngly)-Win you swear
your wife did not hide Sullivan on that
night?
Witness (hesitatingly)-Ye-es.
Solicitor (more knowingly)-Will
your wife swear that she did not hide
Sullivan in your house on that night?
Witness (more hesitatingly)-Wel
I-don't-think-sO.
Solicitor (mOst knowingly)-Ah And
perhaps you can tell the court how il
is you can swear your wife did not
hide him. while she cannot swear the
same thing, Speak up now and tell
the truth.
Witness (unhesitatingly)-We you
see, I'm not a married man.-Pittsburg
