There has not been time in several
years when the streets of Savannah were
In worst state of disrepair The asphalt
is in positively disreputabIe condition,
and at some places the holes are not short
OF dangerous. The asphalted streets, how
ever, are not the only ones needing atten-
ton. AT the corner of Whitaker and Bry-
an the earth has sunk under the cobbles
making what promises to develop into a
dangerous hole If 1t is not fixed at once.
Would 1t not, as a matter of economy,
be better to give street repairing more
prompt attention? small break repaired
as soon as it is discovered will often save
a big and costly break. At present the
streets are full Of the costly kind of
breaks.

The fun list of judges for the Hall Of
Fame of the University of New York,
has been made up. The board consists
of twenty-five college professors and ed
ucators, twenty-four professors of his
tory and scientists, and twenty-three pub
licists, editors and authors. The South
ern members are: President Alderman
of the University of North Carolina, Pres
ident Dabney of the University of Viz
ginia, Prof Mcpherson of the University
of Georgia, prof kirkland of Vanderbilt
University, Nashville; Justice Mcclellan
of Alabama. Justice Taylor of Florida,
Justice Simmons of Georgia, Justice Haz-
lergg of Kentucky, Justice Nichols of
Louisiana, Justice Woods of Mississippi
Justice Faircloth of North Carolina, Jus
tiee Snodgrass of Tennessee, Justice
Gaines of Texas and Justice Keith of Vir-
ginia. Thus 1t appears that the South is
given fourteen members out of seventy
two. Unless we are mistaken. 1t Will be
found when the selections of famous men
have been made. there will be a greater
percentage of Southern men in the Hall
of Fame than there is on the board of
judges.

There is said to be considerable doubt
that the Griggs extradition bill, drawn to
fit the Greene and Gaynor case will ever
get out of the House Committee to which
1t has been referred. So much opposition
10 it has been developed, II is said, that
only the influence of the administration
has saved it from speedy death in COM
mfttee. The bill is now in che hands of a
subcommittee composed OF Mr.. Alexander
of New York. Mr.. Kerr of Ohio, and Mr..
Elliott of South Carolina 1t is entirely
problematical whether it will be reported
at this session of Congress.

MAY BE A FACTOR IN THE CAM
PAIGN.

II is intimated that the demand which
our government has made on Turkey, for
damages to the amount Of 900 for the
destruction of certain buildings in the Sui
tan's domains belonging to American mis-
eionaries. may be an important factor in
the presidential campaign. 1t can hardly
be possible that the administration would
involve the country in war with Turkey If
it thought by so doing the chances of the
Republican party for winning the election
would be increased.
1t is asserted to be a fact, however, that
among the Republican leaders in New
York it is thought to be by no means I'M
probable that If Turkey does not show a
disposition to comply with the demand for
the money, which the Sultan has promised
to pay, a demonstration against her
will be made by a feet Of American war
ships about the beginning Of the presiden-
tial campaign, or very soon thereafter.
Such a demonstration would have the eff
feet undoubtedly of drawing attention
away from the presidential campaign TO
some extent. 1t is not clear, however,
how this would benefit the Republican par
ty. except on the theory that in time CT
war the feeling is that 1t is better to keep
in power the party which has control of
the government. But if It should appear
that the war was entered upon TO gain
party advantage the party in power would
likely suffer from the resentment of the
people.
1t is said that pending a settlement of
the American claim by the Sultan it is not
improbable that American interests in Tur-
key will be turned over to Germany. 1t
seems that that Power has more influences
with the Porte than any other, and the
German government would willingly I'M
dertake to look after American interests
1t is said at Washington that the select on
of Germany to watch American interests
in Turkey would have the effect of remov-
ing the idea which prevails 10 some extent
in both this country and Germany, that
the relations between the two countries
are not as cordial as they might be. There
is no doubt that American interests would
be well cared for by Germany. Indeed, 1t
is said that owing 10 the very friendly re-
lations between the German government
and the Porte American missionaries
would likely fare better in the Sultan's
domains under the protection of Germany
than under American protection. Just
now, however, the matter of chief import
ance in connection with American mission
aries in Turkey is whether our govern
ment will use force, If necessary, 10 col
lect our 500, 900 missionary claim.

The Philadelphia Convention will be
largely made up of federal office holders
"There was once a theory" says the
Pittsburg Dispatch, that federal office
holders should not be delegates to the
National Convention" The only President
of late years who has had the courage to
condemn and punish pernicious political
activity on the part of Office holders was
a Democrat, of the name OF Grover Cleve-
land. But, If the Office holders in the
South did not go to the Philadelphia Con-
vention, how could the South be repre-
scented there? They constitute pretty near
ly the whole party in this section.

Senator Tillman must feel a little dazed,
after the explosion under him of that
"soft-nosed' sensation around which he
threw such a transparent cloak of secrecy
the other day The Senator, indeed, has
made the Senate the butt of q joke, by
carrying it into secret session to discuss a
wonderful new armor-piercing shell, ca
pable of knocking into smithereens the
best armor plate In the world, concerning
which there was no secret at all. The
navy Al see ms, has been experimenting
with these "soft-nosed" projecties for
years and the foreign governments no
doubt know all about them. The military
attaches OF the foreign governments In
Washington must have enjoyed a hearty
laugh at the Senate hiding behind closed
doors to keep them from hearing a discus
sion Of projectile that they have known
all about for years.

The European Powers sympathize with
Dom Paul and would like to see him chase
the British out of South Africa and into
the ocean; but they are not going to per-
means to that end. There is a lot of good
French, German and other European
money besides British invested in the
South African mines, and the European
Powers think more of their dollars than
they do of Dom Paul's independence.

"What do you know ?" it is too
often non-meaning phrase to the
person addressed. He is no doubt
interested in what is going on in

ten he will answer, Nothing" :"
The condition should be reversed,
for if the party would think for a
moment he would no doubt call to
mind some item that would be of
interest to hundreds of people,
and the newspaper man would be
glad to tell it. 1t is often the case
that readers wonder why the paper
