THE GREAT RETAII. STREET..

Thirty years ago II was seriously pro-
posed 10 open Bull street through the
public squares. with a view 70 making Il
the chief retail business street OF the city:
and thls year Alderman Dixon has adyo-
Gated cutting through certain squares on
Abercorn street, after the manner that
was proposed Tor Bun street. as an OK
pertinent. and 60 LEI the people see how
that street would look and what a con-
%ea!ence the improvement would be. II
the change would be a good ,hlag Ger
Ahercorn street It would be a better one
for Bull. Possibly q may take the pco-
pie thirty years more to come TO this
way Of thinking. but then again IL may
be that, as Ia the case OF the removal OF
the iron fence around Forsyth Park. they
may sooner make up their minds to &C
cept modern, progressive ideas. and con
sent 20 have the central and principal
street OF the city opened up for business
development. That the trend OF retail
trade Is towards Bull street. the logical
situation Tor IL. Is plainly to be seen in
tho new stores that have lately been built
and occupied In both che Old and IN.
newer sections.
The growth OF the city is southwnrd
and the great retail s.-eet must
eventually run lengthwise the city.
And there Is no other street so well
adapted TO retail business purposes a.
Bull street. II It were Gu, through the
squares. leaving small parks on each side
OF che roadway az the present park places.
there would be no more convenient and
Handsome business street TO be found ia
any city.
Il IS noticeable Fac. that very s@-
residences front on Bull street. As rule
'he buildings facing that thoroughfare
are stores churches or public buildings.
and tho number OF commercial houses on
Il are steadily increasing IN number.
Without any injury 70 either public or
private property. the roadway might we'll
be extended not only Through the small
squares. but through the park and the
military parade ground to the southern
extension OF the street 90 the city limits.
And this done. Savannah would have one
OF the finest business streets and prone.

HALE.s INCONSISTENT POSITION.

Senator Hale OF Maine IS making
speeches in his state urging his oonstitu-
onts to support Mr. Mckinley. although
he Is opposed TO the Philippine policy OF
the Republican parry. lie opposed the
ratification OF the Paris treaty by which
this country acquired sovereignty OF the
Philippines. In his speeches he says that
Mr.. Mckinley should be reelected and
the Republican party continued In power
because the Philippine policy OF that
party will ultimately be rejected by the
people.
That is a rather remarkable position to
take II Senator Hale is against hold
ing che Philippines as a permanent pos
session he ought 10 have the courage OF
his convictions and vote with the party
that Is pledged To give the Filipinos an
independent government What assur-
ance haA he. II Mr.. Mckinley is re-
elected. that the people will reject the
Philippine policy OF the Republican party7
VIII not that party take che reelection
OF Mr. Mckinley as an Endorsement OF
its policy7 II certainly will.
The reelection Of Mr.. Mckinley means
the retention Of she Philippines. Nobody
knows that better than Senator Hale.
He IL simply misleading the people when
he tells them that the imperiallstic pol
ley OF the Republican party will no, pre-
vail even Enough that party Is Endorsed
at the polls
Neither Senator Hale nor Senator Hoar
has shown himself big enough to rise
above party lines. They are clear-head-
ed enough 10 see what Is right. but they
haye 10, The courage to do what Is right.
In their speeches In the sehsss they hath
took a position against tho Philippine
policy OF their party. but being unable 10
control their party. they weakly yielded
TO party influences. and are now advo-
eating Mr.. McKinley's reelection.
They are trying 40 excuse their incon-
slstency and weakness by attacking Mr..
Bryan Tor urging the ratification OF the
treaty by which the Philippines were ac-
quired. They seem 10 think that Mr..
Bryan Is TO blame for the spectacle they
are making Of themselves before the
country. What hurts them Is the knowl-
edge that Mr.. Bryan has been consistent
throughout. He did urge the ratinca-
ton OF the treaty. but at che same time
he insisted that resolution should b.
adopted declaring It to be the policy OF
the government 10 give the F'ilipinos their
independence-to deal with them just as
Il was proposed to deal with the Gu
bans. His position on the Philippine
question is impregnable from any point
OF view. and that Is the reason they dis
like him so heartily and abuse him so
viclousfy.

him: and II he repent. forgive him. And
" he trespass against thee seven times
IN a day. and seven times IN a day turn
again 20 thee, saying, I repent. thou shalt
forgive him" This text seems especially
10 fit the case OF The Mayor.
