to the children The subject of his dis
course hung before him in an engraving
of the Father of His Country, mounted
upon a fine white charger, that adorned
the wall. Pointing to this portrait, the
Bishop asked:
"Who can tell me the name of that fine
looking gentleman

THE SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL CON-
VENTIDN

The Southern Industrial Convention
which meets in Chattanooga on May IS
promises TO be of very great Importance
TO this section, and particularly to this
city. Philadelphia has arranged to send
a large and influential delegation of her
merchants, having two objects in view.
namely, to call the attention of Southar
merchants to the advantages their CITY
possesses as a market in which to pur-
chase such supplies as the South needs.
and to try and awaken deeper interest in
their movement to establish a steamship
line between their city and South Atlantic
ports
The indications are now that the con-
vention will be largely attended, and that
much will be said and done to arouse the
interest of the North in the industrial de-
velopment of the South. II is true that
the South is not asking financial help to
the extent she once did, because now she
has very considerable amount of capital
of her own that is seeking investment.
The money that is being put into cotton
mills in the South is being almost
entirely subscribed by Southern farmers,
merchants and capitalists And there is
a great deal more that is waiting an op-
portunity for investment. In about all
parts of the South the banks have plenty
of money-more, in fact, than they can
loan at the legal rate of interest.
But that is no reason why the South
should not take a deep interest in the
Chattanooga convention, which will be
largely made up OF Southern men and there
will be an opportunity there for the dis
cussion of many things which will be
helpful TO those who are engaged in de-
veloping the South's industrial interests.
Savannah is particularly interested in the
Philadelphia movement TO establish
steamship line between that city
and South Atlantic ports. 1t is certain
that such line would be helpful to this
city. 1t would not take long TO build up
a paying business between Savannah and
Philadelphia. A delegation of Savannah's
representative men ought to attend the
| Chattanooga convention.

THE IMITATION OF THE CURRENCY

The treasury department estimates that
under the new funding act there will be
at least 1000 additional national banks es
tabshed, and that the great majority
of them will nave a capital of $500. Az
suming that this estimate is correct, it is
pretty safe 90 assume that every town
that can support a bank Will have one.
Country districts which have found il diff
ficult to get currency will. IN mary IN
stances, have far less trouble in getting IT
than ever before, provided they have any
thing to Offer as security.
Among financiers who have given the
matter considerable thought he be'icf prc.
walls that the increase in nationa; bank
currency viii be about 100000. CO.. with
such an increase there ough, 90 be no COM
plant of a scarcity of money.
An interesting question is, what effect
will this imitation of the currency have on
the political situation? 1t is evident that
when the Republicans added the refunding
section to the gold standard bill they were
confident that by means of It money would
be made so plentiful that for a while at
least. business the industries and even
speculation would be greatly stimulated.
They believed that a great increase in the
| currency would help them in the presi-
Dental campaign.
Il may be that they were right in this
view. The better the times are the less
disposed the people are to demand a
| change in the government. An era of
wild speculation, however, is always fol-
lowed by period Of depression. over.
| speculation is certain to be followed by
| liquidation. 1t may be so in the presen,
case-ihat is, II the imitation should prove
to be as great as IT is now thought It will
be and a condition of affairs viii be
brought about that will do the Republi-
can, party more harm than imitation will
1 DO It good.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Record Qnd) says: Gen.
Woods recommendation of limited suf-
frage for Cuba and his reasons therefor
are eminently sensible. Complete universal
suffrage Is the aim and ideal of democ-
racy, but il is not well to attempt to re-
alize the ideal too suddenly. Immediate
and wholesale acknowledgment of a peo-
pie, regardless of its qualifications for the
exercise of the suffrage. is now commonly
recognized TO be a mistake. Transfer of
political power TO untried hands should
be gradual The franchise, as Gen. Wood
argues, should not be cheapened. 1t prop
erly may be held in reserve and conferred
only upon those who give evidence of fit
ness for the exercise of the duties of citt-
zenship, provided the test of fitness be such
as any person by due effort can satisfy"
The Pttsburg Dispatch CRep) says:
"our statesmen have failed to explain how
Porto Rico can be a part of the United
States within the meaning of the section
of the constitution which gives authority
OF the raising and expenditures of public
money If l. is not a part of the United
States within che meaning of the same
section requiring that all duties shall be
uniform"
The Washington Post Qnd) says;
Word comes from Florida ostrich farm
that one of the largest female birds in the
bunch has laid an egg with Mr.. Suffers
initials on it. ID viii be recalled that the
very best Mr.. Suffers contemporaries can
show in that line are ordinary chicken
eggs"
The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem)
says: THE kentucky treasury Is the real
prize at stake in the contest for control.
At presenS Mr. Beckham is ahead of Mr..
Taylor. for some of the counties have de-
posted money subject TO his order"

A COLONIAL SCHEME.

In his speech at the Ohio Club dinner
in New York recently the President said
that there could be no Imperialism in this
country. Recent dispatches from Wash
ington say that it is well understood there
that the President is preparing to lead his
party in the direction of a colonial sys-
tenn. similar to that of England. What
does a colonial system mean but i'm
perialism?
1t is fact that some of the Republi-
can senator's, notably Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, is outspoken in favor of
a colonial system. Al the last eau
Gus of the Republican senators on the
Porto Rican bill it is said that he openly
advocated it. 1t is also mentioned that
he has asked Republicans of the House
to strike out of the Hawaiian bill the
provision permitting a delegate in Con-
gress from the Hawaiian Islands That
looks as if he had determined to take a
stand in favor of a colonial system.
AS a matter of fact it is difficult to
see how the Republicans can favor any
other disposition of our insular possess
sions than to make colonies of them If
they should favor holding them as terri
tories they would have to give up the
principle of protection in the tariff, and
they are not prepared to do that. If the
abandonment of that principle were even
suggested by any considerable number of
their party leaders the disruption of their
party would be almost inevitable
1t is probable that when the President
said that imperialism in this country was
impossible he was sincere. He had no in
tention then of favoring a colonial sys-
tenn. A system of that kind means i'm
perialism There cannot be any doubt
about that The great majority of the
Republicans do not like the word impe-
rialism. Most of the Republican leaders
have been even more emphatic than the
President in denying that under Republi-
can direction the government was drift
ing toward Imperialism. Since the in
ability of their party to agree on the
Porto Rican bill, however, they do not
regard imperialism with so much horror.
They see that only by adopting a CO.
lonial system for our insular possessions
can their party be held together. 1t
would not be at all surprising therefore
If the Republican party should occupy
the position of defending imperialism in
the presidential campaign. If it does not
actually defend it, its stump speakers
and newspapers. will have very little to
say against it.

WAR DEPARTMENT EXTRAVA-
GANCE
WAR

Public sentiment will sustain the posi-
ton of Representative briggs. of New
York in favor of an Investigation of the
charge that there was great extrava-
gonce in the furnishing of the transport
Sumner According to Mr.. briggs state
ment the transport was provided, at gov
eminent expense, with service of silver
costing $1,000, and with the finest cut
glass.
Mr.. Hull, who has charge of army mat
tiers in the House, undertook to break
the effect of Mr.. briggs statement by
saying that the Democrats complained,
during the Spanish American war, that
the accommodations for the soldiers on
the transports were insufficient and mean,
end that now they were complaining that
too much money was being spent in fit
ting up the transports.
Mr.. Hun knows very well that the sill
yer service and cut glass are not for the
benefit of the soldiers, who will be car
ried on the Sumner. If they were it is
probable that there would not be a dispo-
stlon to complain of the extravaganza.
They are for the benefit of the officers,
who get everything while the private sol
diers are neglected.
There is no occasion for a silver service
on transport, nor for the other costly
furnishings with which the Sumner is
provided, In furnishing transports the
aim should be 10 secure durability and
comfort. Instead of that it seems that
in the case of the Sumner the effort was
to make a display.
1t is probable that there was no effort
TO protect the government against waste
and extravaganza. In fact those VINO
have the spending of the government
money seem TO think there is no bottom
to the treasury. The fact that the people
are heavily taxed to provide the govern
ment with revenue is a matter of no
consequence to them. 1t would serve
a good purpose if Mr.. briggs should in
slst upon having the extravaganza that
is apparent IN the furnishings of the Sum
ner thoroughly investigated, and if it
should be found that any one was guilty
of wasting the public money, he should
be dismissed from the army.

1t is a rather difficult task to point out

A tenderfoot was standing watching q

was not very wide at that particular
point. so that he had frequent opportu-
mites to converse with the ferryman as
he went back and forth with his load
At one of the pauses between loads the
ferryman lighted his pipe and prepared
to resume the conversation interrupted by
the last trip.
Il notice" observed the tenderfoot
that you address each of your male
passengers either as Captain Colonel
or General or some such distinguished
title Now, is it a fact that these gen
tlemen you have carried over are al
captains, colonels and so forth?'
Laws, no." replied the ferryman
laughing heartily.
Then" asked the tenderfoot, chow dc
you come to give all these titles to these
people?"

Congressman Howard of Georgia evil
IDENTITY struck the nail upon the head
when he remarked in committee that it
looked to him, in the Macrum matter,
as if an effort were being made to concoct
q sensation out of nothing. From the best
available information, there Is nothing In
Macrum, nothing in his charges and
nothing to be made out of either or all OF
them. The young man lacked brain and
