tSeai.)

The following statement in regard to
the penitentiary finances was yesterday
given ont at the State Treasurer's office:
1.-The States Prison has drawn out the
balance It had in the State Treasury
January /. 1899. which was $1.6S4S5.
1t has drawn all the collections turned
into the Treasury from earnings since
January /. which was S20.666.21. 1t
has drawn all the Special appropriations
made by the last General Assembly.
$5.i14. 10. and also S335.517. 10 out of the
$4,000 appropriation for support for
the year 1899. making the total drawn
from the State Treasury since January
/. $G3. 2S2 81 .sT1rllis prison has had in
addition to this all receipts from earn
ings since February 9th. 1899, none
since that time have been turned into
the Treasury.
Figuring just a little will show that
ont of the $4,000 appropriated to sup
plement the earnings and run the en-
terprise this year only S14.4So.91 re-
mains in the Treasury. Out of the S6:3-
2S2.35 spent by the prison this year out
of the Treasury only S22.331.12 was
from earnings, and S40,931.23 was
straight out Of the Treasury. OF these
earnings. Zl,.l.JS WIS ipplleu on ldSt

$Sl3I2 applicable to the current years
accounts. and showing a net total of
$41. 7i435 on this years accounts.
.sDivide the $4,000 appropriation
into twelve months and take 6la months.
the amount will be found to be ST.
0S3.33. While the prison has drawn
everything else in sight and $33511.13
on this account. which shows they have
had over the proportion. SIS, 1880.
IF it has required all the income from
earnings and Si0,93l.23 to run the
Prison for the last G1a months with
no old debts in their way the question
now is, how will the prison pull through
the next 5la months on only $14,4S2.91.
which is all it has to its credit in the
State Treasury for the balance of the
year.
Remember that of the appropriations,
the whole S4093123 added to 1913. =
from earnings Of last year, together with
all other receipts by the prison since
February 9th, have all been used on
this years accounts. The other old ac-
counts prior 10 January 1st having been
provided for by sales of bonds. are not

The kissing Enidemic.

Prof Lombroso's article on Hobson's
kissing, published in the August Pail Mall
Magazine, proves 10 be less about Hobson
than about kissing in general says Pub
lie Opinion. His remarks on the hero are
confined to the following:
We are told that when. otter the war.
the gallant sailor gave an account of his
exploit at Vassar College, a lady who was
a his lecture expressed a wish to kiss the
hero, and her example was followed by all
the ladies present. Hobson subsequently
lectured in all the leading cities of the
United States, and in the course of his
tour he was kissed by no less than 10000
women! Few men are so worthy of ad-
miration and enthusiasm as Hobson, whose
Merrimac exploit Is one of the bravest
deeds gf our own times: and the account
of il given by the hero himself, was bound
TO foment the enthusiasm of his hearers.
who rtust have felt as though they had
been kctually present. Under these cir
cumstances the kissing phenomenon loses
much of its pathological aspect, more es-
pecially as women are always warm adj

A couple Of weeks or so ago il was r.
ported that Admiral Dewey said to "A cor
respondent of the New York Herald that
our next war viii be vita Germany
Wni.e the Admiral wouldn't affirm or
deny that he mad made the statement the
impression was created by what appea AIRED
in the public prints that he had been
wrongly quoted purposely or had been
misunderstood.
a day or two ago another interview ap-
peared in the London Daily News in which
Admiral Dewey was quoted as saying
quite a number Of things which, as a naval
officer it would hardly he proper for him
TO say. As TO whether the interview was
genuine or not there appears 20 be great
deal of doubt There were things in it
which were in harmony with opinions
which he had expressed, but it would
seem as if he would hardly venture to criu-
else the course Of the government as he
did in this Daily News interview.
Among other things he was quoted as
having said: u have the question Of the
Philippines more at heart than any other
American, because l know the Flipiuos in
timately and they know l am their friend.
The Filipinos are capable of governing
themselves; they have all qualifications
for it, II is a question of time, but the
only way to settle the instruction and
assure prosperity to the archipelago is to
concede self-government to the inhabi-
tants. That would be a solution of many
questions and would satisfy all, especially
the Filipinos, who believe themselves
worthy of it and are so.
Il have never been in favor of violence
toward the Finpnos. The islands are at
this moment blockaded by a fleet and war
reigns in the interior. This abnormal state
of things should cease. should like to see
autonomy first conceded, and then an
nexation might be talked about. This is
my opinion. 1 should like to see violence
at once put a stop to. According to my
view the concession of self-goyernment
ought to be the most just aud most logical
solution"
In the foregoing the Admiral is put in
the position of saying that the F1lipiuos
are qualified for government, and that
the way to bring the insurrection to an
end and prosperity to the islands is to give
them control Of their own affairs. He pre-
tends to be well acquainted with the Fill
pinos and to understand what is best for
them. Therefore he wants violence to
cease at once and steps taken to put the
Filpinos in control of their own affairs.
1t is doubtful if the Admiral ever gave
out such an interview. The reasons for
thinking so are that it would be extremely
impolitc for him in his present position to
criticise the course that is being pursued
by his government, and it would be out of
place for a naval officer to practically
condemn the policy of his gov
eminent in SO important a matter as
the Philippine war. In fact. it would be
out of place for a naval officer to discuss
in the public prints questions which are
playing so great a part in the politics of
the country. While Admiral Dewey may
have given out the interview attributed to
him the chances are that he did not If
he did he has less discretion than an Off
Ger holding as important position as he
does ought to have.

His Extemporaneous Effort.

Mr. Sturgeon used to tell a good story
about one of his divinity students, says
the RAMS Horn. 1t was his custom, in
order to test the powers of the young
men for speaking. to give them as they
were about to ascend the pulpit a text to
discourse about on their own plan ana in
their own words. This, of course, was
not before an audience but simply among
themselves for practice On the occa-
sion referred to he gave to young man
who as yet had not tried the ordeal the
simple word ''Zacchaeus." The young
man, trembling from head to foot, said:
Il will divide my subject into three
parts. First we read that Zacchaeus was
small of stature, and I never felt smaller
than at the present moment; second we
read that Zacchaeus climbed tree, which
reminds me of my ascent into this pull
pit third we read that Zacchaeus made
haste to come down, which accordingly I
will now do"
Whether this man ever became a great
preacher or not, we ere not told, but he
certainly showed that he possessed ready
wit.

nr. Denew on DreNfus.

Dr. Chauncey NJ Depew is watching the
progress of the Dreyfus courtmartial at
Rennes with keen professional interest.
Upon his return from Europe a few weeks
ago he diagnosed this case as enc of acute
hysteria on the part Of a large proportion
of the French people. He excited criticism
in some quarters by declaring that among
certain classes of Parisians Dreyfus' Of
Tense was only aggravated by the disclos-
ure of facts tending TO prove his inno-
cence.
rs not the spectacle presented by the
trial at Rennes a remarkable one?" inter
rogated DR.. Depew in his Office In the
Grand Central station, says the New York
Press. Generals of the French army go
on the stand and declare with great dig
nifty and much impressement that they
know Dreyfus is guilty. They submit no
facts, and recite no circumstances that
would have any weight in an ordinary
court of law, yet their statements go on
record as testimony. This situation re-
minds me of the old story about Dooiey
and the judge. A friend of Dooleys was
in the prisoners box, and Dooley was on
hand to help him by his testimony.

whose name was O'Flaherty.

Tense; the prisoner is guilty.

A DESERVED REBUKE.

The rebuke administered to Councilman
Thompson of Atlanta by the Atlanta Con-
sttution of that city was deserved. At
lanta is made up of people from all sec
tons of the country. There are New Eng
land men there and men from the South
and West. 1t is natural of course for
men to have quarrels and In Atlanta, as
elsewhere, a man is supposed to stand on
his merits. and not to depend for his po-
sition in the community on the state OF
his nativity.
Council Thompson, Virginian, sought
Atlanta to mend his fortunes, and Pro-
moter Atkinson Left Massachusetts in
search of a desirable place in which to In
vest his money and the money of those
who have confidence in his financial abil-
ity. OF the merits of the quarrel Of
Messrs. Thompson and Atkinson we know
nothing. Mr.. Atkinson may be in the
right or Mr.. Thompson may have all the
justice on his side. But it would seem
as if Mr.. Atkinson had the better of the
quarrel for the reason that he did not re-
sort to the narrow gauge plan of trying to
create public sentiment against Mr.
Thompson by calling attention 20 the state
in which he was born. Mr. Thompson
evidently thought that it would lessen the
respect for Mr.. Atkinson in Atlanta by
calling him a "blue-bellied Massachusetts,
yankee"
We doubt II there is any part of the
country where a man from one section of
the country is not just as wen thought Of
as a man from another section, other
things being equal. Character, ability
ana material resources fix a mans stand
ing in a community, not the state from
which he halls. There are peop.e of pro-
vlncial ideas who think the state in which
they were born entities them to regard
themselves as superior to people born in
other states. but it is a rather remarkable
fact that many who entertain this view
do not think enough of the state of their
nativity to remain citizens of it. Coun-
Gilman Thompson ana Promoter Atkinson
should stand on their merits as men be-
fore the people of Atlanta not on the
estimation in which the states from which
they have taken their departure is held.
