PREPAnING For 1noo.

The leaders Of the Republican party Of
New Hampshire have begun the cam
paign Of 1900. Senator Chandler, ex-Gov.
BusieI and others have issued an address
in which they ask the Republicans of the
state to join them in securing a number
Of reforms. Among them they enumerate
the following: The prohibiting of free
passes on railroads, the taking from the
Supreme Court the power to say that
railroad, steam or electric. which
its promoters desire 10 build, Is unneces-
sary and against the public good, 10 pre-
vent the assessment of oficeholders for
political purposes and the suppression Of
the evils arising from trusts. The adj
dress Is particularly pointed in dealing
with the question Of trusts. 1t declares
that unrestricted competition is the life
of trade and the basis of all prosperity,
and therefore the strongest kind of ground
is taken against trusts.
This looks very much as If the Republ-
can party intends to put a strong anti
trust plank in it's national platform 1t
is hardly probable that the Republican
leaders of New Hampshire would antago-
nize trusts unless they had some under
standing with the Republican leaders in
other states that the party in its national
convention would take a position against
them.
Assuming that this Is the case there is
a prospect that the fight against trusts
in the near future will be very much great
er than they now think it will 1t
is certain that the national platform of
the Democratic party Will be against
trusts. There are reasons for think
ing that its declarations against them
will be much stronger than anything the
Republican national platform will contain.
The Democrats are sincerely against
trusts. while ii is probable that the Repub-
licans are against them only because they
think the majority of the. people are
against them. In fact. the New Hamp-
shire leaders of the Republican party IN
their address say that the chances are
that If the Republican party does not come
out strongly against trusts 1t will be over
whelmed at the polls, both in the nation
and in the state.
The people want to be relieved of the
evils of trusts and they will be satisfied
if both of the great political parties take
a stand against them, but they will be
inclined to support the party which seems
to be the more sincere in its opposition
10 them. 1t is not likely that the people
will be fooled by platform declarations
They will know which party Is in earnest
If the Republican party makes a declara-
ton against trusts simply for the purpose
of gaining support from those opposed TO
them 1t will suffer a great disappointment
because it is not likely that the people will
be deceived.

BRUNswIcK AND IT'S Fam.

Those who have had the pleasure of Wis
iting the thriving city of Brunswick dur
ing the Southeastern Fair week, could not
have failed to notice the marked change
in our sister city. 1t is no longer the Bruins
wick of the past, with many hopes and
little else, but a substantially built up and
prosperous looking city. The boom which
helped it some and hurt ii almost as much
gave il many handsome buildings. and
improved it in other ways. There is, a
feeling among the people that they are now
on a solid basis and that whatever hap.
pens 1t must be beneficial to them aud the
city.
The Plant System has improved its COM
merciaf facilities by dredging out a o.
foot channel along the company's wharves,
and used the mud and other materials thus
obtained to fiji up the extensive marsh
which existed in that locality.
The harbor is well filed with ships
which have no difficulty in getting cargoes
from wharves crowded with humber, naval
stores and other products.
The Southeastern Fair is attracting great
attention throughout the state. The ex-
hibits speak well for the energy of those
who have charge Of the enterprise. 1t is
not an exposition" but an old-tinle home
affair, In which neighbors are showing
TO each other what they arc accomplish
ing The art exhibit, the pictures
being ala the work of Brunswick
artists, is excellent, as is also
the display of the handiwork OF the IA
dies, comprising the thousand ana one
things that men so often see and yet know
80 little about. Savannah Is glad to know
OF the Increasing prosperity OF her sister

A TIMELY MESSAGE.

There isn't a thoughtful man In the state
having anything at stake who does not
approve the message the Governor sent
10 the Legislatu on Tuesday recommend
ing legislation to protect corporations,
firms and individuals against that
class Of men who thrive on the
ruin of others. 1t was the grand
jury of Fulton county which sug-
gested the legislation, but the Governor
was prompt TO act on it. This state has
suffered greatly from the evils at which
the Governors message Is aimed. COrpo-
ratlons and business men. temporarily en-
barrassed, have been thrown into the
hands of receivers, and helpless creditors
have seen the assets of the corporations
and business wholly swallowed up In court
costs, and extravagant allowances to re-
celvers and attorneys.
on this point the Governor says:
Men licensed to practice law and their
paid agents and coadjutors have in many
instances brought unnecessary ruin upon
railroads and factories and mercantile
corporations and firms and individuals.
and at the same time brought reproach
upon the honorable profession of law.
Honest, safe business men and corpora
tons doing legitimate business but tenn
porarlly emba rrassed financially are often
forced by constituencies barra tors and
shysters into the hands of receivers, and
are ruined, when If let alone they would
extricate themselves, pay all honest debts
and live in comfort. 1t Is true, too. that
when corpora tons and individuals are
wrecked by the nefarious methods of
these enemies of society and of the bust
ness of the country, the creditors usually
suffer with the debtor He most frequent
~ at the end of the litigation gets moth
ing. while the debtor and his children are
reduced to perjury, the entire estate being
consumed In court costs, receivers salaries
and lawyers fees.
Never were truer words written than
the foregoing. If the Legislature desires
20 do the state real service it will put
the Governors recommendation into bill
and pass it at the earliest possible mo-
ment. of the many bills pending there is
no one. with one or two exceptions, that
is more important than this one would
be.
Long ago when the people of this city
were suffering to the extent of millions of
dollars from a receivership, in fact they
are suffering from II still, we suggested
that there ought to be a law that required
a bond with every application for a re-
ceiver for any corporation, business firm
or individual. and that the amount of the
bond should be regulated by the interests
involved. If those seeking to put railroads,
factories, business firms or individuals into
the hands of receivers were held RESPONSE
Bile for damages growing out of their APP
plcatlons they would hesitate before TAX
ing such a radical step. At the same time
there would be no hesitation in giving the
necessary bond II 1t were clear that a re-
ownership was necessary to save property
or to protect creditors.

Rev. ]. d. Brooks. pastor Of a Baptist
church in Germantown Pa, and president
OF the Woman's Home Missionary Society,
has just returned 10 his home from a visit
10 the South. Speaking 10 a reporter for
the Philadelphia Press ne said: THE col
ored man in the South has advantages
over the coiored man IN the North TO earn
an honest livelihood. He can and does
Work at the trades that he may be master
Of The colored and white bricklayers,
Dlacksmiths and carpenters work side by
side" This is precisely what the South
ern newspapers and representative men
have been saying for years; nevertheless
it seems necessary for Northern man
to see it with his own eyes before he can
bring himself TO believe it, Certain MEM
bers of the Northern press have so per-
sistenuy asserted that the most prolific
fruit Of the trees Of the South is lynched
negroes that many of their readers are
convinced that it is true and are surpris-
ed when they visit the South and find that
it is not.

Adam; the Man Who Never Was a
Boy.


From the PittstAlrg Dispatch.
OF all the men the world has seen
Since Time his rounds began,
There's one l pity every day
Earths first and foremost man:
Just think of all the fun he missed
BY failing to enjoy
The dear delights of youthtime,
For-he never was boy.
lie never STUDDED his naked toe
Against a root or stone.
Iie never with pin-hook fished
For minnows all alone.
He never sought the bumblebee,
Among the daisies coy
Nor felt its business end,
Because-he never was a boy.
He never hockey played, not tied
A bright and shining pail
Down in the alley all alone,
To trusting poodles tail
And when he home from swimming came
His pleasure to destroy
No slipper interfered
Because-he never was a boy.
He might remember splendid tunes
In Edeu's bowers-yet
He never acted Romeo
To a six-year Juliet.
He never sent valentine
Intended to annoy
His good but maiden, aunt,
Because-he never was a boy.
He never cut kite string, no;
Nor hid an Easter egg.
He never spoiled his pantaloons
A playin mumbley-peg.
He never from the attic stole
A coon hunt to enjoy
Nor found the "old man" waiting,
For-he never was boy.
1 pity him. why should I not?
1 even drop a tear;
He never knew how much he missed;
He never will, fear.
Aud always when those dear old days
My memories employ
/ pity him, Earth's only Nor
Who-never was a boy.

A few days ago. says the New York Ev-
ening Post, we referred to a story about
Queen Victoria throwing one of her shoes
to a company of guards parading before
her previous to their departure for the
Crimean war This may be capped by an
other which the Hon. Mrs. Norton used
to tell of Lord Panmure Minister of War
in those days, and one of the most matter
of-fact and slow-witted of men. The war
was ended and the Queen once again held
a review this time of the remnants of her
troops who had survived the ordeals of
disease and battle. Some of the Veterans,
who had especially distinguished them
selves, were decorated by the Queen, and
after the ceremony, Mrs. Norton asked
Lord Panmure whether Her Majesty had
been touched? "Touchedr' he exclaimed
in courtly horror, Bless my SOUL no. She
had railing in front of her" 81 mean"
said Mrs. Norton, was she moved?"
why, of course not" replied Lord Pan
mure in growing bewilderment, there
was not any occasion TO move her." At
ter this Mrs Norton discreetly dropped the
whole subject.

cannot eat them. Does not that prove con-
clusiyely that neither gold nor diamonds
have any intrinsic value? Any popuSstic

Gen. Methuen telegraphs the London war
office respecting the fight at Modder River:
THE battle was the bloodiest of the cen
fury" The casualties were 50 killed and
2f wounded 1t is evident that Gen Me
thuen is deficient in his knowledge of the
history of The wars of the century Pos
sibly he never heard anything OF Antietam
and Gettysburg, where the killed ran into
the thousands and the cal casualties into
the tens of thousands. In the American
war of the sixties a battle like that of the
Modder River would have been counted
merely as an appetizer for a real fight

Speaking of soulless corporations, that
Franklin Syndicate of Miller's seems to
have been absolutely devoid of either soul
or conscience; nevertheless people trod on
each others heels to pour their earnings
into its insatiate nav, upon the promise
of fabulous percentages of profit. Many
investments early in the game, knowing
very well that somebody would have to be
leeced in order for them to get their
rake-off but caring nothing for the losses
that others would suffer just so they got
their money. Are there corporations more
soulless than that?
