Money spent in lanes. already pretty wen
paved, while not actually wasted, comes
pretty nearly under that head
A fact that is attracting a great deal
of notice in connection with this paving
of the lanes Is that the soil is being dis
turbed at time of the year when 1t has
not been considered advisable to disturb -.
Heretofore it has been regarded as rather
dangerous in hot weather. to dig up the
soil in the lanes in the older part of the
city. The reason is well understood by
the older citizens If money has to be
spent al this season Of the year In order
to keep men employed. it would seem TO
be a part of wisdom to spend 1t in i'm
provements which would be of real benefit
to the city

OPPORTUNITIES NOT EXHAUSTED

An exchange notes that the late Frank
Thomson, president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, was a self-made man; that
James j. Hill, president of the Northern
Pacific. once worked for 81 day; that NJ.
r. ingalls,, president of the Big Four and
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroads, began
his railroad career as brakeman, and
that NJ. J. O'Brien, who has succeeded the
late II. B. Plant as president of the South
ern Express Company, began at the very
bottom of the ladder. Our contemporary
might well have added that Mr.. Plant
himself began his career practically as a
laborer, from which humble start he be-
came the creator of vast properties.
Indeed, the list of successful Americans
who began with no capital save ability and
a purpose to win might be drawn out 10 a
considerable length. In no country of the
world are there more and better opportuni-
ties for the success of merit than in the
United States And. the croakers to the

THE CITY'S PAVING POLICY

1t looks like waste of money, or n
misdirected use of it, to repave lanes al
ready sufficiently paved for all practical
purposes. when there are so many streets
badly in need of paving Attention was
called to West Broad street by the Morn
ing News a few days ago. 1t is street
on which there is a great deal of traffic.

senger depot of the Central of Georgia
Railway is In just the same condition it

such a sand bed that it is heart-rending
to see horses pun heavy loads along 1t
these hot days
East Broad street, from Jones street
south is another sandy waste, and many
other streets might be mention
ed on which little paving would
be great advantage and a
great Improvement. 1t would of course
be an expensive undertaking to pave the
streets mentioned their fun width. A
pavement twenty feet ia width would re-
ieve the situation immensely. and then

The refusal of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the
Canadian premier, to accept an invitation
to visit Chicago on the occasion of the lay
ing of the corner stone Of the great post
office that is being constructed in that
city, because of the fear that he wouldn't
! be well treated, will cause amusement in
all parts of this country. To Assistant
Architect Fitzpatrick, who went to Otta-
wa TO invite him, he said he had thought
the matter over carefully and discussed it
with other members of the government
who had been invited, and had finally
come to the conclusion that. in the pres
ent excited state of feeling in this country
over the Alaskan boundary dispute it
would be advisable for him to remain
outside of the United States.
Evidently the Canadian premier isn't nc
quainted with the American people. If
he were he wouldn't have hesitated to ac-
cept the invitation. 1t is doubtful if one
person in ten in Chicago has investiga ed
the merits of the Alaskan boundary dis
pute or even sought Information about it.
The newspapers have, of course discuss
ed it, and have expressed their opinions
pretty freely in regard to Canadas effort
to get strip of Alaska which doesn't be-
long to her, but these same papers would
have shown Sir Wilfrid every possible
courtesy if he and his friends had con-
scented to be Chicago's guest on the occa-
sion of the postoftice celebration. It is
certain that there would have been no dem
onstrauons against the Canadian visitors
It may be that at the bottom of the re-
fusal of Sir Wilfrid Laurier to accept the
invitation was the feeling that Canada had
claimed more than she was entitled to in
the Alaskan case. As a matter of fact
all of the maps bearing upon the boundary
under dispute-the American, the Russian
and the Brtish-sustain the position taken
by the United States. 1t was not until
1895, after gold had been discovered on the
Upper Yukon, that the Canadian govern
ment set up the present absurd claim
This claim is based on a map drawn by
the Commissioner of Lands and Works of
British Columbia, who drew a line that
gave Canada the Lynn canal and the Port
land channel, both being important high
ways to the interior and, therefore, after
the discovery of gold in Alaska, of great
value TO Canada, Before that time she
never thought Of claiming either the canal
or the channel. The British charts made
the United States.
OF course, Canada Will not be permitted
to have what doesn't belong to her. The
Canadian premier viii not benefit his case
any by display of feeling in respect to it,

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle Dem) says:
Gov. Gambler of Georgia is entitled to the
hearty sympathy and support of
alb civilized Americans in his ef-
fort to vindcate the majesty of
the law in his state. And he and all
Georgians who deplore the existing state
of affairs should be made to feel that
Americans outside of that state who have
said severe things not only of Georgia but
of other Southern states. have not been
prompted by malice, but only because they
are panied by acts which bring discredit
upon our common country as a land where
law is supreme and where the humblest
may not appeal in vain for Justice
The Chattanooga Times Dem) says.
1--WE believe that there was a time when
it was the duty of the press to criticise the
acts of the government touching our Far
Eastern possessions; but that time we hold

MIR. BRYAN,s POSITION.

The New York Times quotes some Dem
ocrats from the South as expressing the
opinion that Mr.. Bryan win decline to be
a candidate for the presidential nominal
ton of his party if he becomes convinced
that there are other Democrats who would
stand better chance of being elected.
These Southern Democrats speak of Mr.
Bryan as being courageous and sincere
and anxious to do what is for the best
interests of the party. They admit,
however, that if Mr.. Bryan decided to
take the nomination he would be the nom
nee.
1t Is worthy of notice that within the
last few days dispatches have been APP
pearing in the newspapers to the effect
that there is a pretty general feeling
among God Democrats in the Eastern
states in favor of going back into the
party 1t seems that in Boston the senti-
nent is so strong against the admnistra-
TONS course in respect to the Philippines
that Gold Democrats are frankly saying
that even if the Democratic party reaffirms
the Chicago platform they will vote the
Democratic ticket, pa divided the silver
In New York city and in Albany N. Y
meetings of Democrats have been held
recently for the purpose of forming or
CARNATIONS in favor of reaffirming the
Chicago platform. There appears to be
some ground for saying that the opposi-
ton to the Chicago platform viii be very
weak in the Democratic national conven-
ton.
The feeling seems to be that while il
may be necessary to reaffirm the Chicago
platform il will not be necessary to make
the silver issue the leading one, and that
it win not be the leading one. Whether or
not this impression rests upon any solid
foundation no one appears to know. 1t
may be based upon the belief that MIR,
Stone, Vice Chairman of the Democratic
national committee, thinks it advisable
to give less prominence to silver in 1900
than was given to ii in 1896 1t is being
gradually understood that Mr. Stone is
the leading factor in the committee. He
has force of character and is quick to
grasp changes in the political situation
and in public sentiment. There are many
comments in the newspapers to the effect
that he is in many respects better fitted
for directing the affairs of the committee
than Chairman Jones is. 1t may be that
he will shape the policy of the party so
discretely, and with such judgment, that.
without sacrificing any principles or alien
| atng any of the radical silverites, he will
open the way for the Gold Democrats to
return to their party

One great need in the south at present
is technically educated young men, com
peteut to take charge Of the new indus
tries which are springug up every day
or to succeed 10 vacancies in the old and
established mills, factories and mines. The
Georgia School of Technology is doing a
great work towards supplying this need.
II teaches not only theory. but practice.
When a young man leaves its halls he
knows not only how a mill or machine
should be built, but he can bui.d it him
self; and after the plant has been estab-
lished he can run it so Is to secure the
best results. The Georgia Tech is now
excenenty equipped Its curriculum en-
braces everything that is essential in en-
cheering both civil and mechanical, the
latter including steam, electrical and by
draulic. There is a.so a textile depart
ment, in which is taught how to card,
spin, weave, design, dye and pack cotton
and other fabrics This department will
fit Georgia boys to lake charge of the
Georgia cotton mills which are becoming
more plentiful every year One of the
excellent features Of the Tech" is the low
cost of the high-grade. practical education
which it provides II is virtually within
reach of everybody. Last year this school
had more than 300 students It ought to
have AGO this year and 500 the next.
