AN EARLY CANDIDATE.

From the amount of talking that the
friends of Senator Foraker are doing it
might be supposed that the question was
Republican nominee for President 1904. The
fact that he is an Ohio man accounts for
this. The Republican politicians of that
state have the idea firmly fixed in their
minds that they have a lien on all of the
offices in the gift of the people. 1t is safe
to say that there are more natives of
Ohio living on the government at this
time than there are of any other state.
1t seems now that Foraker's friends were
particularly anxious to have Roosevelt ac-
cept the nomination for Vice President in
order to get him out of the way of For
aker But will the nomination put him
out of Foraker's way? 1t is doubtful. In
the first place it is by no means certain
that Roosevelt win be elected Vice Presi-
dent. II he should be he would aim TO be
something more than mere fgurehead
for the Senate. He is a Fesourceful man,
and he would likely find ways to keep
himself before the public. If he should fail
in doing that it would not be because of
any lack of effort on his part. 1t is true
the Vice President has no patronage to
distribute and he has no opportunity 10
express his views on public questions, ex-
cept through the public prints, but before
this campaign is over the Republican
leader may consider 1t advisable to enter
into an arrangement with Roosevelt by
which he would have a certain amount of
influence In distributing patronage. The
President could help him immensely in
keeping himself in touch with the party
workers if he were SO disposed, and it
may be that he will find it to his interest
to help him. 1t is within the bounds of
probability that the friends of Foraker
have begun shouting for their favorite too
soon,

OVERLOOKING FORTUNES.

The New York Commercial says that the
farmers of the South are overlooking for
tunes" And there is no question that the
Commercial is right It had asparagus in
mind at the time of making the observa-
ton, and was commenting on the oppor-
tunties for profits offered by that high
priced vegeta ole. AN asparagus bed"
it says, will last a lifetime, and will
yield a profit after the second year of
from $500 to 81, 600 an acre. The farmer To-
Gated out of reach of the large cities thinks
he is prohibited from raising this remuner-
alive vegetable, a he has no market. This
difficulty is easily overcome, IL he will in
ierest himself and neighbors in a canning
factory. The process of canning asparagus
is very simple, and so with all other veg
etables and fruits. The market for canned
asparagus has never been fully supplied,
consequently it brings a very high price"
There isn't any doubt that this section
of the South is well adapted to the grow
ing Of fine asparagus One. of the largest
asparagus farms in the world is in Berke-
ely county, South Carolina, near the coast.
That farm has produced two or three for
tunes within the past dozen years. Its
success might be duplicated almost any
where in the Georgia coast counties 1t
would seem that the rich lands of Chat
ham county, reclaimed by the public
drainage system, ought to make especial
ly good and productive asparagus farms
Asparagus, however, is but one source
of wealth that we overlook. Celery is an
other high-priced vegetable to which we
give practically no attention. 1T seems
that We prefer to pay Michigan fancy
price for the stuff than to raise ID for our
selves. We ought, as matter of fact
to be able to compete with Kalamazoo in
supplying the markets of New York, Bos-
cry since We have cheaper transportation
to those cities than is enjoyed by the
Michigan town. Florida, by the way, has
lately given some attention 10 celery, and
she is producing a very nice and tender
quality of ii.
There are, as matter of fact, dozens
of kinds of vegetables which might be
grown around Savannah, and marketed in
the natural state or in cans at a good
profit. The canning of tomatoes, peas,
beans, corn, etc, ought to be a big indus
try here. We can raise such things at
North or the West. Nevertheless the peo-
pie of Savannah consume annually tons
of canned vegetables that are grown and
packed where labor is dearer and the soil
is less fertile than In Chatham county

A BURNING POLITICAL QUESTION.

In his address to the graduating class
of the Yale Law School on last Monday
afternoon Mr.. Bourke Cochran, among
other things, said: 1T Is not impossible
that twelve months hence the annexation
of part of the wall of China may be a
burning political question" Il is hardly
probable that there will be question in
this country of annexing a part of the
territory of China in the near future 1t
is to the interest of this country that
the Chinese empire shall not be broken
up The ablest men in China are looking
to the United States to prevent Il
from being broken up. Mr.. John Barrett,
former minister to Siam, in an interview
published on Monday last, said: In re-
storing peace in China the United States
should be the principal influence to de-
termine the future and fate of China. 1t
is their influence only that can keep
China from an impending break up. They
must stand for the integrity of the
Chinese empire. They have everything
to lose and nothing to gain by its parti-
ton among the European Powers"
of its influence to have the integrity of
the Chinese empire preserved. II it
should be broken up and its fragments
taken possession of by European Powers,
our commerce with China would be de-
pendent upon their policies. The United
States are not seeking the commerce of
only a part of China; they want the OPP
portunity to get what they can of the
commerce of the whole empire
1t is well understood in China and
Europe that the United States are not
seeking Chinese territory. 1t is admitted
that they desire nothing more than an
equal chance with other nations to get a
share of China's commerce. Owing to
their DISTINGUISHED attitude they may
be the most important factor, after
the present trouble is over. in bringing
about readjustment OF the relations be-
tween China and the foreign governments
whose treaty rights have been disre-
garded.

THE MOVEMENT TO DROP SILVER

The fact that several times within the
last two or three weeks Mr.. Bryan has
taken occasion to say that under no cir
cumstances will the IS to / idea be drop
ped from the platform that will be adopt
ed at Kansas City justifies the belief that
he thinks that a strong effort will be
made al the Kansas City Convention to
make no reference whatever in the plat
form to financial matters. In our dis
patches yesterday ne was quoted as say
ing that the issues set forth in the Chi
csgo platform would be reaffirmed. BY
that he meant that the silver question
would occupy a place in the platform
that would be adopted this year.
1t is the understanding that some of
the strongest of the supporters of Mr..
Bryan are doing what they can to have
no reference to the money question made
i'm the platform. 1t is said that Senator
Daniel of Virginia, former Senator Cor
man OF Maryland and former Senator Hill
OF New York will lead the movement
to keep silver out OF the platform. 1t
can be safely stated that they will not
be successful. They may succeed, how
ever. in keeping the financial question
in the background-that is, in making it
one Of the minor issues.
That the sentiment in favor of the Is
to 1 idea is not as strong as it was four
years ago is evident from the way in
which the suggestion that former Senator
Hill be nominated for Vice President is
being received in Democratic states. Even
in Arkansas. the home of Senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, Mr.. Hill appears to be
favorIte for the vice presidential nomina-
ton. 1t is well known, of course, that lie
Is not in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and If the silver senti-
ment were as strong as it was in the
last presidential campaign he would not
have any support in the South for the
second place on the presidential ticket
There is not much If any probability Of
Mr.. Hilrs nomination. He says he would
not accept The second place, and il Mr.
Bryan controls the convention, and the
indications are that he will, the nomina-
ton will not be offered him. Mr..
Bryan declares that silver must be pre-
scented as an issue in the platform and
that no man should be nominated for Vice
President who is not in sympathy with
the platform. That statement practically
rules Mr.. Hill out of the list of vice pres
idential candidates.
Senator Daniel and other supporters of
Mr.. Bryan are just as strongly in favor
of the free coinage of silver as they ever
were but they think that in the campaign
this year the silver issue would lessen
the chances of the Democratic party for
electng its ticket. They want the DEM
ocratic party to concentrate its whole
strength against imperialism and trusts.
II It should do that, they believe it would
elect the next President.

Took Him for nm Insane Man.

It is a difficult job to suppress the the
atrical pass fiend, says the Utica OBJ
server. Tim Murphy, the comedian. says
ii can't be done. Last spring. when Mr.,
Murphy was playing THE Carpetbagger"
in an interior town, a hotel waiter asked
him for two "complimentaries, and as the
actors generosity towards walters, boot
blacks and hotel employees is proverbial,
he received them. The recipient lost no
time in selling the passes to a drummer
and pocketed 81 for his enterprise. A few
weeks ago The Carpetbagger" revisited
the town, and the same waiter again ask
ed for a ticket. This time he said one
would do.
do you want to see the play yourself?''
inquired the elongated comedian.
Yes, sir, il you please"
IF I give you a pass will you use it
yOurself?"
You bet 1 willr was the emphatic re-
ply.
Come here, then" said the actor. Draw
ing pencil from his pocket he wrote
across the polished shirt of the waiter,
Pass this man to-night-if he is sober,
and dated the line. Show that at the box
Office window" he added, land they will
give you seat coupon"
Al O'Clock the waiter presented him
self at the box office window, and point
ing toward his wishbone inquired, 'Is this
ticket good?"
Certainly" replied the ticket seller.
Give me coupon, please"
IAN right. but I'll have to punch THAI
ticket if it is a complimentary
What, punch a whole through my
Shirt"
Yes, sir, or else I must stamp it. Those
are my instructions"
For moment the pass fiend hesitated;
then he returned to the attack. go
ahead" he said.
But I'm afraid 1t will spoil your shirt"
This is purple ink and is indelible."
81 don't care, l want to see the show"
A rubber stamp was pressed against the
linen and the waiter approached the door,
holding up the coupon for inspection
Ticket, please; l can't let you in on
that" politely remarked the doorkeeper
We'll. here is my ticket" replied the
deadhead. I'm wearing it tonight"
I'm sorry, sir, but all tickets must go
into the box so that We can count up the

fiend. do you really mean it?"

There was only a moment of wavering.
