His homely tastes have not, however, i'm

Almost all the new senator's who are
to take their seats next December have
been house hunting in Washington, and
all demand houses with big dining rooms.
Senator Clark, the multi-millionaire from
montana, started this boom by declaring
that he would not take a house unless it

There is no use in concealing the truth
In respect to the Georgia Naval Militia.
The simple fact is that the organization is
practically non-existent, at least In so far
as this city is concerned; and the condi-
tons do not appear to be a great deal bet
ter at Brunswick. Almost from the first
there was friction between the two cities
respecting the organization, which
now has very few members. 1t will be
a matter Of impossibnity to reorganize the
reserve under the old plan. In view of
this fact, 1t seems that the proper thing
for Gov. Gambler to do, and the best thing
that could be done, would be to disband
the existing organization, so as to permit
OF a new organization upon a scheme that
would prove permanent and popular. And
It is important that the disarmament and
reorganization should take place speedily.
II has been announced in our Washington
dispatches that the general government is
disposed to assign a ship to the Georgia
naval reserves. Under existing conditions
the ship cannot be assigned, because the
reserves are practically non-existent.
Should the command be reformed and re-
cruited up to the required limit fine yes
sci could and would be secured. The time
to take the initiative is the present. We
hope the Governor will give the matter his
attention

They Look AIiLe

A prominent south side minister relates
an experience, says the Chicago Daily
News which he had night before last in a
street car while he was returning home.
There was but one other passenger IN
the car, jovial looking man, who sat IN
one corner with his hat pulled down IN
shade his eyes. The minister felt that the
other man was watching him, but every
time he turned his eyes in that direction
the passenger was looking out of the win
dow and smiling. Finally their glances mot
and the pleasant looking passenger kent
his eyes fixed on the minister's face. srrn-
tinizing him carefully. The minister cough
ed and looked embarrassed, and then the
other man, looking fitue sheepish. came
over and. sitting down beside him ev~
tended hand, at the same time saving.
Stranger I've been thinking thar We
look so much alike we'd ought to GET sc-
quainted." The minister smiled ana shoe,
the hand and they soon were chatting Insa
old friends. AS the stranger rose 70 leavs
the car he passed out card, saying,
Come around when you're down nv
way"
After he had gone the minister glanced
at the card and read after the mans name

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican Gnd
says: THE country may wake up some
morning and find Nicaragua done I'D in a
neat parcel on the front door step and adj
dressed to Uncle Sam. These things are so
"suddint!'
Suspicious signs are the cali for a war
ship at Bluefields, the official request Of
New Orleans merchants for United States
intervention in the Bluefelds customs dis
trict and the alleged growth of annexation
sentiment in the highest social circles of
Nicaragua itself. Ii is impossible to saw
how the whole people would welcome a
moonlight raid on Nicaragua, but stranger
things have happened within one short
year than a grab of the canal country
Writing of the Cars approaching peace
conference, the New York Times Dem)
says: IF it were possible to bring about
leges should be granted in all territory ac-
CURED by any nation, the chances of quar-
refing over the acquisition of territory
would be greatly reduced. This now is the
avowed policy of Great Britain. 1t is the
policy to which the United States is COM
mitted IN the Philippines. If these two
governments could unite their influence
a t The Hague to secure consideration for
a general understanding in this sense, good
might be done. And surely there could be
no harm in seeking it,"
The Columbia Is. CO State Dem) saws:
THE people of the South will appreciate
the reasons given by the Governor of Penn
sylvania for refusing to sign a petition urg-
ing the name Gettysburg for one of our
new cruisers; although there was no like
lihood that the administration would, I'M
der any pressure, have chosen a battle
name of the civil war. For If a precedent
were ever set for naming ships after feder-
al victories, the South would insist on
compensatory names OF Confederate vic
tories, and in time the navy would, like
Bill APPS children, commemorate Bun
Run, Chickahominy and so forth"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says:
MT Bryan's book is fresh proof. II any
were needed. that he intends TO make anti
expansion a leading issue of his campaign
next year. But there is stan more than a
years time for the Republican administra-
ton 20 crush the instruction and establish
n stable government In the Philippines, in
dependent. but under American protection
Would not that spike some Of MI Bryan's
heaviest artillery?

HISTORY OF THE SPANISH WA

There is no dearlh of histories of the
recent war with Spain AS matter of
fact there is on the other hand, a pie
| thora Of so-caled histories of the conflict.
Almost before Deweys guns were cool,
after the first battle at the beginning of
The war, the Observation-Disclosures as
such out of courtesy, which costs nothing
were scrlbbiing away at making copy,
and sending it 10 publishers with linotype
machines standing hot and eager for the
story. Long before the peace treaty was
signed histories" of the war with Spain
were on the market. The newspaper peo-
pie had the advantage. The narratives
Of the correspondents were in type. Henry
Watterson had a history on sale two
months ago. 1t abounded in stories and
graphic descriptions yof engagements,
taken from the reports of correspondents
on the spot. Then followed the histories,
or stories, of Richard Harding Davis, Ste
phen Bonsal. Edward Marshal, william
Goode and probably half a dozen others.
And then the military gentlemen began
TO write-the generals, the colonies, the
majors and the captains. Even the ad-
mirals have taken dip into the historical
ink. Admiral Sampson has written a chap
ter or two, and so has Commodore Evans,
and one or two others of the navy. And
Gen. Joseph Wheeler is the author of
history of the war
And here is where the trouble begins.
The historians do not agree with each
other The correspondents and the mill
tary gentlemen are at variance respecting
essential details The same sort of thing
was noted after the war of thirty-odd
years ago between the states. So long as
the historians of that great epoch-making
event wrote from the newspaper reports
they had plain sailing But after awhile
the military men began to write; and then
there were noted discrepancies between
the stories told At the present moment
there is a controversy of considerable pro-
portions respecting the really. truly, true
history of the war between the states.
And II seems likely that history will re-
peat Itself in the matter of the history of
the war with Spain. Gen. Wheeler takes
direct issue with Stephen Bonsal, and pro-
nounces many of his Historical facts"
false and without semblance of foundation
in fact. Admiral Sampson joins issue with
some of the newspaper historians and
shows that what they have told is not cor
rect. And thus it goes. One person writes
a history Another persons detects errors
in it, and writes another history in order
to correct the first one. And then still
another person writes history to correct
the errors discovered in the history writ
ten to correct the errors in the original one
1t is almost an endless chain. Meantime
the market is flooded with the several his.
tories. And about the only thing left for
the seeker after information to do is to
pay his money and take his choice"

THE CONGRESSMAN AND THE PIN

Woman has no vote, In most of the
states, but in all of them her influence
in politics is acknowledged by the poll
ticians. who keep their wits at work de-
vising means whereby they may win and
hold her good wishes. kissing the ba-
bies is an Old trick. but being still a good
one, it is played whenever a good oppor-
tunity presents itself. Getting a rural
housewife to darn hole snagged in one
trousers, which is alleged to have been
a speciality of a former senator of the
United States during his campaign visits
through the country, is another trick con-
corning which much has been written and
said. But, according to Judge Hill. OF
Newport KY, Congressman Berry, Of the
Sixth district of that state, has hit upon
new and bright idea, the practice of
which should warm the hearts Of the wo-
men of his constituency towards his can
didacy.
Congressman Berry's scheme was seen
in practice on a Newport-C ovington belt
line car the other day. In the car with the
colonel-for of course the Kentucky con-
gresham is a colonel, by virtue OF both
his birth and his office-were a number
of Newport women going TO a convention
in Covington. While boarding the car one
of the women displayed signs of sudden
but deep agitation. Something had given
way. There was an immediate and earn
estly whispered demand for pins Two or
three were produced by the other women.
but the whole stock seemed inadequate
to the emergency Col. Berry had been
buried behind a newspaper, very discreet
~, during this time. But he got inforrna-
ton somehow-it must have been by
telepathy-that there was still a woful
want of proper plnning. At all events.
with the utmost delicacy, he produced a
very large safety pin and rendered it to
beauty in distress, with the informa ton
that If one was not enough, there were
more where that one came from, and they
were all at her service. Then the colonel
went off behind his paper again The big
safety proved just the thing; and the res
cued one was so grateful that she could
almost have Hobsonized the rescuer Nat
urally every woman in the car Instantly
felt an increased interest in Col Berry;
he was so thoughtful in carrying safety
pins, and so prompt and tactful in offer
ing them.
Now. Judge Hall Of Newport, who is the
colonels friend and also something of a
Joker, declares solemnly that Berry makes
1t a practice to carry several papers of
safety pins in his pockets, for just such
emergencies, and that he has attached
more votes to himself with safety pins
than any other man in public life.

The ordinance against the riding OF
dark" wheels, or wheels without lighted
lanterns, seems to be entirely disregarded
by the Savannah police. Any night, on
any of the asphalted streets, fifty wheels
without lights may be counted in an hour
or two. Very often their riders come
hurting out of the darkness, at breakneck
speed, to the imminent danger of pedes-
TRANS and riders of lighted wheels. DARK
wheels are not only a menace and a nul-
sance, but that they should be permitted
is an injustice TO those riders who comply
with the law by keeping their lanterns
scrubbed and lighted after dark.

weather comes, the city of Savannah will
be thoroughly clean and in a position to
practically defy disease. It Is sincerely
to be hoped that there will be no let-up In
the work. The cleaning will cost some
money, to be sure, but it will be money
well expended. The people will not OBJ
