concluded its session with the Duffy
Street Baptist Church yesterday morning.
The union adjourned to meet next year
one day i'm advance of the State Baptist
Convention and at the same place. The
meeting at Savannah one day in advance
of the convention was an experiment, the
union having heretofore held its meetings
without tegard to the convention. The
experiment resulted so satisfactorily, how
ever, that II was decided to continue this
plan in future.
The meeting which has just concluded
was the most largely attended the union
has ever held. and was generally voted
by the members TO be the most success
full IN many respects.
The most important action taken at the
meeting yesterday was the Endorsement Of
the action of the central committee Of the
union of the Southern Baptist Convention
in issuing an appeal 10 the women OF

a Great Discourse Delivered to a
Great Congregation.

A large congregation greeted Rev. w.
w. Landrum last night to hear the annual
convention sermon. 1t was undoubtedly
the largest audience the church has held
in recent years. Every seat in the large
auditorium was taken and the galleries
were filled. The convention delegates and
the Baptists of the city were there in force
and many of their friends of other denom-
nations with them.
1t was a great congregation, but the ser
mon was fully equal TO the congregation.
Many of the boyhood friends of the speak
er were present, and their hearts flied
with pride as they realized the eminence
which he had attained in his noble calling.
No Better selection to deliver the conven-
ton sermon could have been made, espe-
cially for Savannah.

eloquence he doubtless exceeds him: in

THAT NEW YORK DEATH TRAP.

| The revelations about the Windsor | hotel of New York are shocking. per- haps more shocking than surprising
 It seems the infammability of the building has been the subject of discus sion among the firemen. A fire com missioner tells the New York Herald:
 Tt was literally a tinderbox. Place a piece of furniture in Q drying room and it will soon fall apart. That was what had been happening to the Wind sor for twenty-seven years. It was a wooden structure within, and for years it had been preparing for the flames. The joists pulled apart and the walls separated. The wood became as in fammable as old paper, the building went in one sheet of flame. It was crime, but the law cannot take cOgniz- ance. Fifty hotel pIoprietOrs are today preparing New York for series of Windsor horrors. If they do not come it will be through sheer good luck. Now is the time for the press to warn the public to keep away from those ho- tels erected under the ancient laws"
 The assurance that there are fifty others ready to burn is not reassuring, but who doubts it's accuracy? Cannot many of us name several hotels in New York that we believe to be dangerous? For a newspaper tc do so would be simply to invite prosecution for injury to the business, but what are the fire officials for, if not to protect the public? They can make the list and the papers will print it quickly enough.
 A bill is now being prepared for the present legislature in New York that will require licenses from hotels and forbid granting license to any building that is not safe for guests. It should be hurried along.

PARLIAMENTARY CRISIS,

Empercr William, having set his heart on a military bill that provided for an increase of 230G0 men in the army, finds that the reichstag will aI- low him only 1000. Even the hint that refusal to comply with the em- peror's wishes would result in a disso- lutiOn of the reichstag failed to secure Q vote for the additional 16,000 in fantrymenI and so the emperor has been obliged to accept what was al lowed him without going to the ex- treme of calling for the election of a new reichstag. Of chief importance in this crisis is the fact that the Ger man people, extremely loyal to the house of HOhenzOllern though they are, have apparently reached a point beyond which they will not go in yield ing to their young rulers personal whims. Ever since the accession of William II to the throne of Germany the tendency of the court and of the emperor himself has been toward ab- solutism of a distinctly military char acter. The failure of the emperor to carry his point in this struggle with the reichstag may be the beginning of the pendulum's swing toward thor Cughly representative government - Chicago Record.

THE coURTER's $ TRIBUTE.

The Prescott CQ1rier, accepting our invitation tc 1rea It's mind concerning
 the performance of the Twentieth leg lslaedre, contributes several para [ graphs of praise to Governor Murphy i and incidentally tries tot create the inn pression that The Republican has neg lected to give the governor full credit
 for his work in the interest of Arizona, It says The Republican and tits newspaper apes " whoever they may be, fail to state that what little was ac- complished was done by the sanction and signature of N. O. Murphy" This is pretty hard on us, in view of our att tempt to show that the governor was the "whcle thing" during the recent
 session, but we take it as evidence that
 the Courier man did not read The Re
 publican carefully while the legislative
 mill was grinding. Rather than argue
 the question we endorse the Courier's
 statement that what little was ac-
 complished," was due to the stand taken by the governor. The Courier
 has not always done the governor jus
 tice and he ought to be grateful to it for this admission, even though 1t came late. Bearing in mind the ridlcu- lous, if not anarchistic, pledges of the democratic platform, there is another further declaration that 'the failure of such sanction and signature is the only reason why every pledge made in the democratic platform has not been carried out to the letter" There have been many good things written about the way the governor handled the leg islature, but this is easily the best. The fact that the democrats are cred tied by the Courier with having done all in their power. but accentuates the importance of the governors perform ance.
 There is a diseordant strain in the Courier's reference to the initiative and referendum bill which failed-that bill which made even the popuiists laugh, drawn, as it was, simply to make the initiative and referendum idea it was not to be ex- pected that the Courier could sing a new song sweetIy without some prelim- mary practice. The humor in the as sertion that the governor defeated the best" of the legislatures work will be apparent to all who have knowledge of the villainous bills that died and of the | really good ones that have been added | to the statutes.
 We take off our hat to the esteemed | Courier. It has met disagreeable situation in a way that will be ap preciated by people who know some thing of the difficulties of a paper that tries to be an organ of 'the common people,
