THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS

In the current number of Harper's
Weekly there is an article by a writer
who has the opportunity of talking free
ly with President Mckinley once in a
while on public questions, with the IN
Outstanding that the views expressed by
the President may be published. but in
such way that it shall not appear that
he has been interviewed.
From this article it seems that the
President wants Congress to decide ia
retain possession of the Philippines, though
it is by no means certain that he will
make any such recommendation in his
next message.
He has two reasons for desiring
TO retain the islands one is thai
the F'itipinos will be far better
off under American control than
they would be under a government of
their own. The chief reason, however. is
that they are necessary TO this country
in connection with the trade of China. He
doesn't think that the trade of the Philip
pines will cut much Of a figure IN the
commerce of the Pacific, but is certain
that the trade of China VIII, and in order
to have our share OF that trade we must

ing interests of this country are growing

sHorLn BE AMERIcANs.

The question of the nationality Of the
crew Of the American yacht Columbia
which is to race for international honors
with Sir Thomas Liptons Shamrock, has
cut no little figure in the preparations for
the great race now being made on this
side Of the water. The employment of
Capt Barr. a sailor Of foreign birth to
sail the Columbia, however has not
brought forth so much criticism from
Americans as the efforts of the owners
OF the Columbia 20 procure an entirely
American born crew have caused on the
part Of foreigners in this country, or of
Americans who were foreign born. Crews
Of the defenders of the Americas cup
have frequently included foreign sailors
chosen unquestionably on account of
their merits, and sometimes there were
Englshmen among them. This time, how
ever the syndicate headed by Mr.. c. DIV
er Iselin, undertook to secure an entirely
American born crew, which has resulted
in certain caustic criticism on the part
of Americans of foreign birth.
We fail 10 see the reason for criticism
from any standpoint. We take it for
granted that Capt. Barr, though foreign
born, is now an American. There is a
certain sentiment around such an inter
national contest, a contest TO which all
American eyes are turned that seems to
demand that the American yacht shall
be sailed by an American crew. There
is a sort of patriotism in the American
heart which, in such efforts, makes him
put forth the whole energy of his hand
and brain, and this may be said without
the slightest detraction from the integrity
or ability of the foreigner. In demanding
that every member of the crew shall be
American born, however, the syndicate
may have stretched the matter a little
too far in its efforts to secure a thoroughly
patriotic crew. II is sufficient that the
entire crew of the American yacht be
Americans. 1t takes five years for for
eigner to become an American. and in
that time he absorbs almost enough Amer
lean patriotism to have forgotten where
he came from. A foreign born American
therefore need not be objected to, for ma
turalization has made him an American
and he is nothing else. If, however it
IS insisted that all the members of the
Columbia's crew shall be American born,
there need be no criticism, for it is well
known that in such sporting contests SEN
timent and even ultra sentiment is bound
to play a part. In that event, however.
it may be pertinently asked why should
not also the captain be of American
birth?

The Credit Mnn.s co.tIr Error.

Sometimes a credit man goes all wrong
but not often. says the Chicago Evening
Post. A country merchant came up from
Indiana with "a written list of the things
he wanted. He said he was new to the
business, but he meant to have a partner
who was wise. After he had picked out
goods amounting to 5000 he was intro
duced to The credit man, and he looked so
uncouth and inefficient that the credit
man wondered how good clerks had been
wasting their time on him.
What terms do you want, Mr.. -?''
He stopped, and the visitor supplied the
name.
"Well, down in our country We always
pay after harvest"
But harvest is past You don't mean
next harvest-iu 19OO-do your"

even at that he wanted TO know a great
many things about his visitors prospects.
How much if I pay all in sixty days?''
The credit man quoted the terms.
How much in thirty?"
A discount was mentioned.
How much for cash?' IN
spot cash? Money down."
'Yes-cuTrency."
1t was a wild question. The credit man
knew he had no chance to get S, 600 out OF
that man, and he quoted beautiful dis
count.
'Well, receipt the bill" was the coun-
tryman's rejoinder. And out from the
folds of a SO suit of clothes he dragged
money enough to buy a yacht and run 1t

AS he staggers up the street
With his load;
And I've seen him in the town
Drunk and almost down
In the road.
Old citizens do say
He has always been this way
Since they knew;
Not one has seen him sober
For many years and over,
II is true.
I am sure / can not say
How much throughout the day
He pours down;
But learn from good hearsay
He drank a gallon in one day
In the town.
He dwells beyond the cove,
In thickly wooded grove,
Quite alone;
In a battered, leaky house
Which can shelter scarce a mouse,
Since cyclone.
But the colonel never yet
Has complained of being wet,
Nor yet damp;
For, though wet to the skin,
He is always dry within,
The old scamp!

And often in the night,
When in sorry plight
From the rain,
He will raise his groggy head,
And, reaching cross the bed,
Ascertain

If the cork is in it tight,
Just as might

Across a skid he rides,
Every day;
Not on horse, it's true,
But between me and you,
Another way.

Does this venerable tank,

Pulls slowly-by degrees
With his cane.

sAvANNAH's COTTON FACTORY.

It is somewhat remarkable that no eff
fort is being made to start the Savannah
cotton factory. 1t is a well equipped fac
tory for making yarns It's spindles have
been motionless for many months. During
all that time there has been great actiy-
ity in the building of cotton factories in
different parts of this state, and the adj
joining states. And, as far as we are in
formed, cotton factories in all parts of the
South are paying big dividends, and have
been paying handsomely on the money in
vested in them for a long time. There
isn't any doubt that if the Savannah cot
ton mill had been in operation during the
past year ii would have earned a large
dividend on its stock
Why is II then that no movement look
ing TO the operating of the factory is
made? We ask this question because the
whole town is interested in having the
factory operated There are people here
who want employment-people who would
accept any reasonable wages. Besides. If
it were demonstrated that a cotton fac
tory pays here other factories-cotton
factories-would be established. And
there are good reasons for saying that
The factory, if well managed, would pay.
one reason is that at one time, when it
was managed economically, it paved such
dividends that the stock was above par.
What has been done once can be done
again.
A cotton factory here has some advan-
tages which a factory in the interior
hasn't, These advantages about off set the
advantages claimed for the interior. But
because the factory here was permitted 10
run down, and because a knitting mill
which was started here was a failure, our
business men have got il into
their minds that cotton manu-
featuring will not pay here
They don't know that it will not. 1t did
pay as long as our mill was well man
aged, and the knitting mill would have
paid also, probably if man had been put
at the head of 1t who was thoroughly ac-
Quainted with manufacturing of that kind
No business or industry win pay unless
It Is wisely and economically MANAGED
Unless we misunderstood the situation
Savannah is suffering from the mistakes
which were made in the management of
the cotton mill and the knitting mill es-
tablished here If both enterprises had
proven successful the probabilities are
that there would now be several such en-
terprises here, and enterprises of that
Kind are needed. because there are people
who need the employmnt which factories
would afford Give the Savannah cotton
factory another chance, but let the ex-
pertinent be made under the direction OF
some one who is well up in the manage
mcnt Of a cotton factory. Under manage
ment Of that sort 1t is safe TO say that
the stockholders would again see their
stock above par

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says:
''The latest delineation of Richard Crok-
er's political position is that he is work.
ing for a dominant place in national poll
tics. To that end. it is said, he is trying TO
arrange for a Democratic national ticket
in 1900 consisting of William Jennings
Bryan for President and Augustus Van
Wyok for vice president with Tammany
man, selected by himself. for national
chairman. and a platform condemning
trusts and expansion, but saying little or
nothing about silver. If this clever scheme
can be carried through Mr.. Croker will
own the vice president and have great con-
troll over the President. but the trouble
TO be feared by him is that he cannot per-
suade the country TO carry it through"
