commander of he allied powers who
proved to the country and to the world
that he was ihorOushly capable for
the rssponslble task assigned to him,
he dcelined to commit any act q war,
ans the suns Of his beet were silent
when the war vess is OF the other ma
tlons were destroying the Chinese
forts; but later under direct orders,
when II was necessary to take the
promptest measures to try and save
the lives cf those who had been so
Ewantcniy exposed TO murder he landed
marines; and we are now, by the ac-
ton Of the administration. and of the
admittedly allied powers. at war with
China. and none can tell what inter
uaaonal complications may arise from
our present connection With the s,rug-
gle.
II Il be true. as now seems to be
only too Wen established, that Ameri-
cans and other foreigners in China
have been indiscriminately butchered
by the Chinese troops. we must accept
the duty Of Furnishing this tiagrant viO-
laton Of the laws OF war. and OF pro-
tectlng any of our residents there who
have escaped the sword of the Chinese
warrior. Regardless OF the provOeation
gwen China, there must be fearful
atonement for the inhuman and in
discriminate butehery Of foreigners. At
the worst We joined in declaring cause
less war against China; but war among
all civilized nations. and even among
semi civilized peoples, protects the
non-cOmbatant and the helpless from
savagery; and when China accepts war
as an inspiration to murder men, wo-
men and children. there must be fear
ful atonement for such barbarism.
We must now take our part in the
punishment Of the barbarian for in
discriminate murder. and assure pro-
lection to our citizens yet remaining:
but when that duty shall have been
discharged. We can have no business
III Asiatic complications. and our naval
and military forces should be prompt
ly withdrawn.
We can have no part in the parH-
tion OF China that now seems newt
able. without departing from the most
sacred landmarks Of our free govern
ment, and for such spoilation Of Chi
ma BY the great European powers. II
they shall make war upon China 1t
is their own AFFAIR; If they shall des-
poil China Of her territory they will
be answerable to the civilized world.
and II they shall involve themselves
in war in their lust for new posses
sions. We can have no part in it what
ever.
We are fortunate in holding the Phil
ippines and they will ever remain our
stronghold in the Eastern sea. 1t is the
key to the commerce and trade Of the
cradle Of the human race. and while
We hold it. there can be no refining Of
the map of China by foreign powers
without giving open doors for our COM
merce and products Of our industry.
If we shall 80 one step beyond the
line Of defending our own people in
China we must falsify every teaching
Of the fathers Of the republic. and
prove to the world that the greatest
republic ever known fiaunts lie in
the fact of mankind when it claims to
maintain government "of the people.
BY the people and for the people"

The Masonic Fair, which viii be opened
tomorrow night, will probably be the
largest bazaar ever given in Savannah, and
the Masons who are looking after the
opening are determined that 1t shall be
with ceremonies in keeping with its mag
nitude and the success that it is hoped
and thought it win achieve
The programme, as now arranged, is for
the doors of the building TO be opened at

expected to arrive and put the finishing
touches by s o'clock. At that hour. DR..
A. e Simmons, president of the Fair As
ISOLATION will introduce Mayor Myers. who
will welcome in the name of Savannah and
it's people, Grand Master w. A. Davis of
Macon. After Mayor Myers address Grand
Master Davis will declare the fair formal
ly open.
Despite the nearness of the opening
there is still a great deal of work to be
done in asserting and arranging the goods
in the booths. A great number Of ladies
visited the building yesterday and spent
several hours in decorating the booths
and planning the campaign in which each
lodge is detel Mined according to its work
ers, to make the best showing both as TO
the attractiveness of the booth and the
results in the shape of cash at the end
CT the Fair. OF the booths so far, that of
Lsandrum is the nearest ready as the
workers of the auxiliary spent several
hours last night decorating ID with BAN
boo, cedar, and other evergreens arrang
ing, ard trying the effect of the electric
lights, and making preparations for dis
playing the goods that are allotted to the
booth.
Mr. Noble f. Martin, manager of the

ly as possible after O'Clock. Badges viii
be given out and the final plans before

Mrs. w. F. Chaplin, chairman of the
Supper Committee asks that all the ladies
interested in that part of The work be at

The Mutual Gas Company has donated to

Chairmanship of the Executive
Committee Is stin in Doubt-COI
MeIdrim Hesitating.
The registration for the Democratic pri-
mary on May IS closed shortly after
O'Clock yesterday Afternoon. At that hour
there were still a number of applicants in
waiting in the Office of the tax collector,
and for their convenience a point was
strained and the office kept open few
minutes longer than is required by law.
When the registration books closed there
were 1894 names on the list. OF this num-
Der there were go negroes leaving a total
white registration Of 5,764. Never before
in the history of Chatham county politics
has the registration for the primary APP
preached this figure. At the regular cleo
ton 1t has been exceeded, but for prima-
ries. as the play hath it. 'it bears the
palm alone"
There were prospective voters in line
during all of the morning and the two
hours of the Afternoon that were permitted
for purposes of registration. There was
much good-natured rivalry as to who
should have the first and the best places
in the line and some alterations that
were not good-natured. Occasionally an
enthusiastic partisan on one side or the
other would demand rather more than was
his due and would be promptly suppressed
by Deputy Sheriff Hartigan, who has been
placed in the tax collectors office for the
special purpose of preserving peace and
order
For the day the total registration foot
ed up 10S, the largest number that has
been added to the list for the past sew
eral months. To make up this addition
the services of Registrar Sullivan were
in constant and busy requisition, and
there was not a moment of The time thar
the hooks were opened that he was not
busily engaged in investigating the status
of the prospective voters and administer
ing 10 them che voters oath. When he
finally declared that he could no longer
entertain applications for registration
there were a number from various parts
of the city " no were regretting that they
had not taken earlier advantage OF their
opportunities.
What percentage of those who have
teen registered will be removed from the
list by the Purging Committee remains
to be seen.
Tt is doubtless true that many of them
should not be on the list, as Mr.. Sulli-
can says that some of those who have
applied for registration could not even
remember the number of the house in
which they lived To which faction In
local politics this condition of things is
ascribable remains to be seen.

COLONIAL DANES OFFICERS.
work of the Georgia society's An
nuaI Meeting Concluded.

The beard of managers of the Georgia
Society of Colonial Danes of America
met yesterday morning at the home Of
the president. Mrs. Joseph ]. Wilder, on
Charlton street, east, to elect officers for
the ensuing year. The retiring members
of the board were also in attendance.
One or two of the ladies on the board
who held official positions were not elect
ed, owing to the expiration of their terms
of membership on the board. Those chos-
en- were as follows:
Corresponding Secretary-Mrs. Robert
Ellington.
Recording Secretary-Miss Mary Ellis.
Historian--Mrs. L. G. Young.
Registrar-Miss Eugenia n. Johnston.
Treasurer-Mrs. w. G. Charlton.
State Genealogist-Mrs T. S. Morgan.
Mrs. Edward Karow had very efficient
ly filled the position of recording secre-
tary, but her three years on the board
expired and she was therefore unable to
accept reelection. Mrs. Young has filled
the position of historian in the past, and
the members know full well that she is
well qualified. The Office 10 which Mrs
Morgan was elected was created, and the
Danes felt they were lucky in securing
one of Mrs Morgan's ability to fill it.
The meeting of the board completed the
business of the annual meeting of the So
ciety The ladies' who were visiting
friends in the city TO attend teh meeting

Some in Savannah Are Hearty Eat
ers at Eighty.

The Chicago Times-Herald recently
wrote up the old folks in one of its Sum
day issues. and the showing was that a
good many are still there who knew the
city in its infancy. In other cities 1t is
not unusual to see restaurants crowded
with old people, some of theuS co. and
others 10 years of age, all eating like
hungry people. Perhaps the spectacle is
so common as to have escaped your OBJ
servation, but nevertheless il is an object
lesson that means something.
Take look at the things these old folks
are eating, and you viii find 1t is not
bran crackers and toasted bread, but
food of the best sort. They are not stumb-

that nourish. These chaps are customers

COL. MELDRIM is RELUCTANT.
Professional engagements Prevent
His Positive Accordance.

Col p. w. Meldrim is still undecided
as to his acceptance of the position of
chairman of the Democratic party of
Chatham county. HIS professional en-
gsgements, as has been said before, are
engrosgtng, and it is very doubtful that
he will find himself ultimately able to ac-
cept the honor that has been rendered
him.
Col Meldrlm said to a Morning News
reporter last night that he had not yet
been able TO come 40 any decision. He re-
iteTated his statement as to his unwlll-
ingness to be a mere fgurehead and said
he could not bring himself 10 an accept
ance of the office unless he were per-
suaded that his accept ance would result
in real good to the party Al this unfor-
tunate juncture he realized, he said, that
the party needed the best efforts of a
good man and it was with extreme reluc-
lance that he considered abe matter at ALL
Col Meldrim was approached during the
day by representatives of both factions,
who urged his acceptance OF the Office
These gentlemen assured him that his ac-
ceptance would be a source of public COM
graduation, and pointed out to him that
his services were urgently needed. En-
gagements In the Superior Court of Bryan
county are now keeping Col. Meldrim
back; If they can be reconciled in his
mind with his acceptance of the appoint
ment he will become the party chairman.
