GEoRGrA's INCREASE IN WEALTH.

The Picayune of New Orleans is pub
fishing articles from tax assessors and
others residing in various parts of Louisi-
ana showing the growth in wealth and
population there has been in the last few
years in that state. The showing is very
gratifying.
There has been a great change in the
material condition OF the Southern states
within the last five years. Unless we are
greatly mistaken the census that win be
, taken this year will show that Georgia
has made great strides in wealth and pop
ulation since the last census was taken.
There are many new towns, and the old
towns have greatly improved. Hundreds
of thousands of acres of land which
comparatively short time ago were covered
with forests, have been brought under cui-
tivauon. This is especially the case in
the southwestern part of The state. There
must be a half dozen cotton mills now 10
every one there was a decade ago The
fruit orchards. particularly peach orch
ards, have Increased greatly in size and
number The cities will show very great
increase in population and the farmers
are better off than they have been since
the close of the war of secession.
1t would be impossible of course to give
even an approximately correct estimate Of
the increase in the states wealth but we
are confident that the showing that will
be made by the census returns will not
be disappointing AT the rate a which
the state is now growing, it will not be
very many years before all of its avail
able lands will be under cultivation It's
villages win be so numerous that no one
of them will be out of sight of another,
and in every village and town there will
be one or more factories.
Georgia is maintaining its position as
the Empire State OF the South. Great as
the growth of some of its sister Southern
states Is it is doubtful! if the growth of
any one of them equals that of Georgia.
This is because of the progressive and
perseVering character of GeOrgians, who,
if given half a chance, either in their own
state or in some one of the other states,
are sure to make their way in the world.
There are many Georgians in the big
cities of the East and in the states that
have been carved out of the plains of the
West. and everywhere they display the
qualities which are keeping Georgia
among the most prosperous states of the
Union

HOnOred Them All.

A writer in the Milwaukee Wisconsin
tells this story of the late Senator Saw
yer: about two years before Mr.. Sawyer
retired from the Senate his mail one
morning contained a touching letter from
a man in Maryland. whose home had just
been frightened by the arrival of
bouncing boy. The fond parent went on
to tell that the boy would be named Phil
etus Sawyer Jones, and expressed the
hope that the child would grow up an
honor to the name, and the possessor of
the fine traits of character that distin
guished the generous hearted man whose
name would be borne by himself. Senator
SAWYER went to the Senate chamber with
a warm glow in his heart and the de
termination to send that fond parent
nice big check. He felt so good that he
showed the letter to Senator Allison. The
Iowa man chuckled as he read it, and pro-
duced a letter almost Identical except that
the young prodigy was to be named Will
liam Allison Jones. 1t was too good to
keep, and they told the story to Senator
Edmunds, of Vermont. That stately old
gentleman melted sufficiently to smiling
ly produce a letter of similar purport.
Then there ensued a comparison of sena-
torial notes, showing that the youthful
Marylander had been fairly loaded with
distinguished names from Justin Morrill,
Jones to Don Cameron Jones. That Mary
land infant received no birthday present"

A striking story of Religion.

A very remarkable story was told by
Senator Vest of Missouri a day or two
ago says the Washington Post.
THE most pathetic scene l ever wit
messed in my life said he, was the out
come of a very singular and curious con-
dition of affairs. Up in British North
America there was a tribe of Indians I'M
der the control of native sorcerers, and
practicing all manners of savage rites.
Among other things, these Indians were
cannibals A Scotchman, named Dun
can, went among them, and at the risk OF
his own life, civilized them. He taught
them every dogma of our religion except
the Lords supper His great work had
been to win them from cannibalism, to
teach them hat capturing and then roast
ing and devouring human beings was
barbarous. lie was, therefore, afraid to
acquaint them with the sacrament of the
Lords supper. because they would, in
turn, ask him why it was wrong to eat
each other and yet a part of religion to
eat their God. He doubted his ability to
explain the matter satisfactory TO their
untutored minds, and so, for fear that
they would regard him as an imposter
and return 90 their barbarous ways, he
let the matter rest.
This was not satisfactory" continued
Senator Vest, as he told the story, ito
the Governor of the province of Van
couver or the Bishop of the English
church. both of whom demanded that he
should either administer the sacrament
or else give up his lay ministry in the
church. Duncan explained the reasons
which had actuated him. but they were
not accepted as sufficient. He appealed
to the highest authorities of the Church
of England and was overruled. He went
back to his Indians and asked them if
they would accompany him to Alaska
where they could be under a flag that
guaranteed religious freedom. Almost
the entire tribe of 1900 Indians decided to
follow him.
when I was there the Indians were
taking the doors from off their houses,
the sashes from their windows, and their
scanty furniture from their rooms, pre-
paratory to sailing away in their great
canoes, in order to start life over again
in new country. 1t was. as 1 have said,
the most pathetic scene / ever witnessed
IT was more than this" added Senator
Vest explaining with almost vehement
emphasis. 1T was the most conspicuous
example of religious prejudice and IA
naticism 1 have ever known

ROOSEVELT WANTED.

The suggestion that Admiral Dewey
be the nominee for Vice President on
the Democratic ticket has made the Pres
ident uneasy, and it is freely said that he
is insisting that Gov. Roosevelt shall be
the nominee for Vice President on the Re-
publican ticket. Gov Roosevelt has been
the choice Of the President for that po-
sition ever since vice pres dental candi-
dates for the approaching presidential
contest began to be talked about He
wishes, however, to be reelected Cover
nor of New York. He has the idea that
he is about the most popular man in the
Republican party. and that he will be in
demand four years hence as the candi-
date Of his party for President.
1t IS true of course that he is popular
with his party, but his popularity has
suffered somewhat since he has been Gov
crnor. He has not en- quite as indie
pendent as he promised to be when he
accepted that Office. He has not been
able to do jest as he pleased and yet re-
main on good terms with Senator Plat,
the boss of the party in New York. 1t is
not even ceIta n that he can have a re-
not find it an easy matter to be elected.
Senator Plat and some Of the o,her lead
ers would ir,fer to have me one in tn
Governors office on whom they could
always depend to comply with their
wishes.
The President believes that Gov. Rose
welt wouli great strengthen the presi-
Dental ticket of the Republicans, and he
is beginning to see the necessity for hav-
ing a popular nan in the second place on
the ticket. If Admiral Dewey should be
on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan the Demo-
Gratis would get the benefit of the popu
larity which the party that conducts a
successful war generally enjoys, unless
the Republicans should secure a war hero
on their ticket That is why the President
is so persistent in his request that Gov.
Roosevelt shall be the nominee for Vice
President.
Gov Roosevelt knows, however that a
Vice President or a candidate for vice
president, stands very little chance for
reaching the presidency. If he thought he
could have the nomination four years
hence if he should accept the vice presi-
Dental nomination this year, it is prob
able that he would not hesitate to accept
it. But he is looking out for his own po-
litcal future. He is not willing to sacri-
flee himself for the benefit of Mr.. Nc
Kinley. 1t is not improbable, however,
that his party will prevail upon him to
take the second place on the presidential
ticket. 1t will certainly make him all the
promises it is in a position to make.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep), dis
cussing the BUSTING from the Senate of
Mr.. Clark of Montana, says: 1.-THE case

THE imposition of tariff duties. however

What's In n Name.

We telephoned to the intelligence office
for cook, says writer in Lippincotts.
AS Annie was the only name given on her
card from The office, we inquired her sur
name
Annie" I said, what is the rest Of
your name?"
THAT is it," was the reply.

THAT is it. I tell you, missus," she said
with a broad smile

Now, what is your second name?"
ooh missus," she exclaimed with some
impatience. II tell you that is it."
With rising displeasure, thinking she
was trifing, I said very defiantly, Your
name is Annie what?"
"Oh" she cried enthusiastically. 1T am
so glad you know tink you will never
know Yes, that is it!'
For while I sat in silent despair, the
girl cycling me with rueful countenance.
Finally happy thought struck me.

your fathers name?"

Michael what?" I almost gasped, feel

REGISTRATION FOR THE PRIMARY

A vast amount of discomfort has been
expressed through the public prints with
the action of the State Democratic Com
mttee in holding that registration this
year is necessary in order to vote at
the May Is primary, but nothing has been
accomplished by it. The committee stands
by its action, and gives some pretty good
reasons for its course. In view of the
fact that the committee said from the
start that it would not reverse it's action
there has been more said about the mat
GER than there was any occasion for. It
is probable that there would have been
more satisfaction If the committee had
authorized the use of the last certified
registration list. but II did noe do so. and
that is the end OF the matter
Now the question as to whose duty II is
70 make up the list of those entitled to
vote at the primary is being asked. The
law provides who shall make up the list
for an election 1t is hardly proba bic
there will be any trouble as TO those en-
titled to vote. According to reports. in
some of the counties a list will not be
NEEDED. The voting viii be done at mass

PROGRESS OF THE DEWEY MOVE
MENT.

The Herald of New York seems to have
become the organ of the Dewey move
ment 1t is authority for the statement
that as soon as Mr. Croker and Hugh
Mclaughlin heard that Mayor Van Wyck
went to Philadelphia 10 have an inter
view with Admiral Dewey, during the Wis
it of the Admiral to that city recently,
they started for home, the former from
England and the latter from Florida. Il
is we'll understood of course that Mr..
Croker is the head of Tammany, and that
Mr.. Laughlin the head of the Brooklyn
Democracy.
AS a matter of fact however, Mayor
Van Wyck did not have an interview with
the Admiral. Il is doubtful if he has any
thing to do with the Dewey movement.
The Herald insists, however that the
Dewey movement is assuming immense
proportions, and that the plan TO get one
third of the delegates to the Democratic
National Convention pledged against Mi.
Bryan, is being carried out with great
vigor.
The Herald's information may be cor
rect, but there are grounds for doubling
it. At present. it looks as if there would
be no opposition whatever to the renom-
ina ton of Mr.. Bryan. All of the delegates
thus far elected have been instructed for
him. The number is about 124. If there
had been any hesitation in instructing for
Mr.. Bryan in the states which have
chosen delegates, there might be some
reason for supposing that a sentiment
strong enough to prevent his nomination
could be worked up against him, but I'M
der the circumstances it does not look at
all probable that If a movement to defeat
his nomination should be started it would
be given much encouragement. Indeed
there does not seem to be anybody who
is willing to lead movement against him.
At first it was thought that Mr.. Whitney
would lead it, but he has announced that
he is not in politics this year, and there
are reasons for thinking that he was sin
cere in making that statement.
The suggestion that Admiral Dewey
may take the nomination for Vice Pres
ident on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan has
not thus far received a great deal of at
tention, but 1t would not be surprising if
he should be MIR. Bryan's running mate
