SIBlEl on DEMOCRACY

Congressman Sibley OF Pennsyl-
vania, who was fnvorably mentioned
in connection with the vire-prcsi-
dency on the Bryan ticket four years
ago, has renowned everything the
Bryanites adhere To now. He made
a notable address some time since in
which he recanted from the Chicago
platform ON the money question and
voted for the gold standard bill.
Last week he further emphasized his
disagreement with the Bryan people
by Joining the Republicans In the
Porto Rican legislation with his vote.
Before doing 50 he stigmatized the
Democratic party on general prin,
ciples. He did 1t in rhyme at the
conclusion of n speech full Of repudi-
alton of the policies and tactics OF his
former associates. He described the
Democratic party Of today as
Living in serfdom through year. that have
flown,
Clinging to dogmas the world has nutgrown,
Choosing to march in the dust of the rear.
Failing ia vision 10 duty; that's clear.
Sluggard in planting for harvest Of grain.
Threshing old straw with laborious pain;
Lacking in force to inaugurate good.
Hindering and carping at Others who would.
Chained to a corpse, you darken the room.
Hanging DER windows the curtainsu of gloom.
Dreading the morrow and stunning the light
Creeping in shadows and cropping In night,
Playing in statecraft an ignoble part,
Obstrncting commerce in LIES busy mart.
Forbidding new methods a place in your brain
Acting the brake, never moving life's train,
Fighting phantoms for foemen, Boosting you
bravery,
Proving yourselves honest, charging other
with knavcry:
Abandoning principles. having no plan.
Lauding as craftsmanship, catch as catch can

address will be found worthy of the
man and the occasion. His opening
sentences nv To the true condition OF
the country at the present time will
impress every onc with our greatness
and the change which has been
brought about in a few years. As
to new duties and questions growing
out Of the war, President Mckinley
maps out the only course II brave,

pursue. He rightly soys there can

MAY GET OLD wArEawoRKs.
PierpOnt Manufacturing Company to
Remove to. Savannah.

A large box and crate factory employ
ing $50 10 200 hands is likely 10 be one Of
the new manufacturing industries Of Sa-
vannah in the near future. Mr.. W. J.
Pierpont president of the Pierpont Man
ufacturing Company of Crescent city, Fla,
returned home last night, after having had
a conference with Mayor Myers relative TO
securing the old water works tract for the
removal of his factory to Savannah.
Mr. Pierpont stated that he is now do
ing large business at Crescent City n
the Manufacture of orange boxes, truck
crates and packages of all kinds for the
shipment of fruit, truck and goods of ev-
cry description. The reason given by Mr.
Pierpont for his desire to remove to Savan-
nah is that his company does a large eX-
port business and that a location at a sea-
port would be much more advantage Gus
than one in the interior, He was offered
a site at Macon, he stated. but prefe red
Savannah on account of its port fac llties
Mr. Pierpont stated that there are other
advantages which Savannah offers to his
business including an ample Sup.ly OF
suitable timber on the Savannah river
aud the large truck growing interest here
which would in itself furnish a consider
able demand He would not rely upon the
local demand, however but would manu-
facture for the Georgia and Florida trade
generally as well as for export The wa
ter works site would be especially suit bic
for the business. he stated. because of the
facilities ii would offer not only for hand
ling shipments by water, but for securing
timber at small expense. He desi. ed to
secure the property at a reasonable lease
for a term of years.
Mayor Myers was interested in MIR. Pi r
points proposition and instructed him to
place it in writing that it might be p oper-
ly brought before Council. The Mayor
regards the proposition favorably and viii
probably recommend its acceptance ny
Council The city is not disposed to let
the old water works tract pass out of IS
hands as it regards the location as a val

of the property, except as an adjunct TO
the new water works, the proposition to
locate manufacturing establishment
there will doubtless meet with favor. ANY
arrangement which may be made will
doubtless require that The old water works
plant be left intact for emergency uses as
at present.

factory here at an early date.

HE WANTS HIS CHILDREN BACK,
Alleged Distressed Father Sues for
Their Custody and Control.

Their Custody and Control.
Judge Falllgant has pending before him
a case of habees corpus, that has for its
object the recovery of two children, now
held by their mother The plaintiff in the
case is the father of the children, who
AYERS and swears that the circumstances
demand that the children should be turn
ed over to him.
The plaintiff is John Carr. With his
wife he has resided until recently in one
of the suburbs of the city, happily, it is
10 be presumed, and without visible dis
content The petition charges that dur
ing last month the defendant deserted the
plaintiff without just cause, and that she
has since steadfastly and emphatically re-
fused to return TO his bed and board She
cherishes, so ii is said deadly prejudice
against him, and her intercourse with the
children is likely to result in their being
brought up without being taught the ,oV-
ing reverence TO which the father of the
family is entitled by the laws of God and
man.
Therefore it is asked that the defendant
be required by the court to produce the
bodies of the children, so that the right
to their possession may be inquired into
fully and impartally. Judge Falligant
signed an order directing that the hear
ing Of the case be held on Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock The plaintiff is repre-
scented by Mr.. Frederick T. Saussy.
