them is the large Mohammedan

stirred to revolt. Furthermore the jsal-
ousy and distrust which prevail among
the European powers IL serious bandi-
against the Sultan. We are largely free
from these emharrsssmants. On the other
hand We have the embarrassment Of long
distance, and the still more serious en-
brrassment Of having no troops anywher,
near the Turks dominions with which
to back up any attack by our navy. Ex-
perisnce has shown that bombsrdments

IMPERIALIsTIC PROGRAM.

Atlanta Journal.
Evidence that the spirit of Imperialism
is permeating the Republican party more
and more continues to accumulate.
The interference of the administration
with the Cuban constitutional convention
and it's dictation that the relations of
Cuba to the United States must be fixed
by the convention, are limitations of the
right of self government which was so
gushingly pledged to Cuba when we vent
to war with Spain, nominally with Cuba. S
liberation as our only motive.
The party which has control of the con-
vention is opposed to needing the orders
sent from Washington and claims the full
and absolute right to shape its work and
frame the constitution as it pleases. PUB
lie opinion in Cuba is certainly with this
element, and it is probable that an at
tempt to enforce the proposed supervision
OF the conventions work will cause trou-
bic between our government and the Gu
bans.
There is a growing belief among the
people of this country that the Republican
party is looking for some pretext for the
annexation of Cuba, that the administra-
lion is going to shape its policy SO as TO
provoke Cuba to some act that will give
it such pretext
The greed of conquest, the avarice Of
territorial gain and the virus of imperial
ism have struck deep into the very soul
Of the Republican party, and we shall not
be surprised to see our express pledges to
the Cubans violated as grossly as our i'm
piled promises to the Filipinos have been.

ANTI.CIGARETTE LAW.

The United States Supreme Court
yesterday gave a black eye to the
American Tobacco Company by a de-
cision in which the Tennessee anti
cigarette law is held to be constitu-
tional.
A year or SO ago the Legislature OF
Tennessee passed an act prohibiting
the sale of cigarettes IN that State.
The Tobacco Trust at once pronounced
the law unconstitutional and promptly
proceeded to disregard it, whereupon
one OF its agents was indicted. The
case went to the Supreme Court of
Tennessee, which held the law con-
stitutional, on the ground that it was
a police regulation for the suppression
of nuisance. The Trust appealed
to the Supreme Court of the United
States, and now that tribunal says
the Tennessee court was correct in its
construction of the law.
The decision will likely seriously af-
feet the business of the American To-
bacco Company in the South. The
sale of its goods will not only be stop
ped in Tennessee, but other States
will no doubt enact similar legisla-
ton.

SPIRIT OF The PRESS.
MR.. BRYAN's FUTURE.
Springfield Republican.

| Springfield Republican.
OF few men in a century of American
| public life can it be said that they perma-
nently identified their names with a new
ism" Hamilton did it, so did Jefferson
and Jackson. For "Hamiltonianisrn >
"Jeffersonianism" and "Jacksonianisn'
are still familiar phrases in political lit
erature. OF those now alive, no one
seems more likely than the youthful Mr..
Bryan to be permanently associated. in
the history of the United States, with an
| ism" The word Organism has GER
tainly become one of the stock phrases of
the time. Coined by political opponents.
| it speedily attained a vogue which 'Mc-
kinleyism" never has had, and, most in
teresting to observe, it enjoys a currency
even now, when Mr.. Bryan himself is in
eclipse, which surpasses that of any other
political expression known to modern
| journalism.
In considering Mr.. Bryan's future, it
would be foolish to omit a consideration
of Organism" Has it no element of
vitality? If in the future the struggle
between democracy and plutocracy" is
| to go on; if the natural man" must
struggle for his foothold against the car
tificial man." then Organism" will re-
main vital force. In that case Mr.. Bry-
an will have future, not in the sense,
necessarily, that he will again be a can
didate for President-for he seems past
the point of availability-but in the sense
that there will be work for him to do.
With his talents-and his faults-we can
conceive for Mr.. Bryan a mission which
may make for the good of the common
people in this country, if he should never
hold an office. He retains influence and
a following. There is room for an honest,
unmuzzled man of great popular qualities,
to be a kind of tribune of the common
people, to voice their feelings against I'M
due encroachments of power in whatever
guse, and to force great political parties
to meet squarely the real issues of the
time.
Already Mr.. Bryan has performed gen.
uine service by his eloquent arraignment
of Imperialism and his attacks on a
threatened militarism. He is young and
has a long life before him. Let him dedi-
cate himself, not to the pursuit of office,
but to the cause of humanity.

The Georgia Legislature now has be-
fore it a bill proposing to appropriate
$4,000 year to defray the expenses OF
holding farmers institutes, which are
provided for in the measure. Such a
bill is a good one, not only for Geor-
gia, but for North Carolina. These in
stitutes may, broadly, be called nor
NAL schools of agriculture. They pro-
mote gatherings of the farmers, at
which an interchange of opinion and a
recounting of experiments and success
ses is the general order. When ore
farmer learns a new way of accom-
plishing a certain object, or finds a
method of cheapening production, lie
gives the benefit of his discovery to
his fellow-farmers at the institute.
The social side of the institute is also
very attractive to the farmers wives
and daughters. Already in this State
the institutes have become a fixture,
and good results have been achieved
by them, but much more could be
done than is being done. They should
be encouraged.

LIFE SAVED BY ELECTRIC LIGHT


An interesting calculation has recently
been made which shows that when the
electric light has entirely displaced gas,
oil lamps and candles, there will .,e 5000
less death annually, these being so much
more unhealthful that electricity In
like manner there will be far less sick
ness in the world, when every one learns
to check the inroads of dyspepsia with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Constipa-
tion indigestion, biliousness, fever and

Oklahoma must soon be among the

her q well-grown child. 1t puts her

enumerators found 61,3S4 persons in

THE BANE OF sEcT1oNAL1sM.

The people of Alabama honored
themselves in re-electing Senator Nor
gan, though disagreeing with him on
some of his foreign views. No State
ought to- turn down it's greatest man,
who has served it conspicuously, be-
cause of difference of opinion after
an honest conviction. The report of
his speech accepting reelection is thus
given:
He said that while all political par
ties denied it, that sectionalism was
even now the bane of government. and
that the South would never have
its dues so long as Northern States
had two-thirds of the votes in the Sen
ate. He favored the annexation of Gu
ba and other recent acquisitions and
the making of States out of them, for
the reason that they would be free
from sectionalsm. He deplored the
existence of the national bank system,
by which the banks were enabled to
control the money of the country
If the bane of sectionalism can be
removed only by the South's having
equal representation with the North
in the Senate, we fear that it is per-
manently saddled upon us. The dis
tinguished Seuator may be right about
annexing Cuba and other islands peo-
pied by an inferior race, but we cam
not see it that way. The experiment
of negro suffrage in the South has
not been so. successful as to warrant
the hope that the black or yellow
people of the tropical regions would
be desirable additions to our voting
