TIE ADNiRALs VISIT.

The ovation that was given to Admiral
Dewey yesterday afternoon, and the well
come with which he has been greeted
continuously since his arrival in this city,
must have been very gratifying TO him,
both personally and as a representative
American. He rode TO the review through
the midst of sea of humanity which was
continuously agitated by waves of en-
thusiasm that Were not short of being
tempestuous. Practically the population
Of the city turned out 10 greet him, and
this multitude was augmented by an in
flux of thousands from the cities and
towns adjacent. And apparently every
individual deemed it necessary to split her
gloves or crack his voice as the Admiral
rode by.
The &arade and review were features
calcui& pa to impress all observers, pro-
fessional or otherwise, with the intrin-
sic worth of the material of which the
American soldiery is composed. In the
long line were companies from all parts
of Georgia and South Carolina; and a
finer, sturdier, more wholesome looking
lot of men bearing guns never passed in
review before any high official
Upon the whole. the entertainment
of the great Admiral has been
success in every sense. 1t was con-
ceived and carried out in manner to
reflect credit upon the city. 1t is safe
to say Admiral and Mrs. Dewey will re-
member their visit to Savannah with
pleasure; and it is quite certain that the
incident will be one of the most pleasant
memories of those who had the fortune

Gordon, the Money Lender,

The will of Isaac Gordon, the notorious
money lender, who died recently, cannot
be found and is being advertised for, says
a London cable. 1t appears that this well
known name in the English courts
though Gordon himself rarely appeared,
was borne by a man of only thirty-five
who is credited with leaving $4,000 On
his body was found $4,000, and in his
office 1855, 900 in cash. This accumula ton
was due to the fact that the banks final
ly would not have anything to do with
his accounts. This scathing obituary APP
pears in IN. A. P" (Mainly About
PeopleO.
A TALL we'll built, erect, ruthless, daring
bird of prey, he seemed to spend on his
business of extortion all the passion which
an ordinary human being would divide
between home pleasures and other inter
ests of life. During the last months he
suffered agony from a disease of the jaw
and when his voice was reduced to a hid
eous croak he kept on working feverish-
ly at his DEVILS job of breaking up homes
and hearts.
The eight months which Gordon spent
in Jail when starting in on his usurious
career ruined his health and embittered
his life. Among his victims he numbered
clergymen. widows, orphans and spend
thrifts Of all classes in England and he
frankly said in court that the tears of
neither the widow nor the orphan would
have the slightest effect on him in press
ing claim. Though his interest general
ly exceeded the principal, and though.
through agents or directly, he rendered
homeless hundreds of people, he never
charged interest to his co-religionists,
Jews, and once he took a fancy to t.
year-od boy to the extent of sending him
candies regularly. Few dead men have
ever received the merciless obituaries that
appear everywhere ON the death of this
millionaire.

The Sultan of Turkey has yielded in all
essential particulars 10 the Russian de-
mands respecting railway concessions in
Asa Minor In this case the Turk did NOT
follow his usual policy of procrastnation.
He came to an adoption of the Russian
view of things in a remarkably short
space of time, for him. The reason proba-
bly, is that Russia brought extraordinary
pressure to bear, in order to get all of her
Asia Minor railway schemes into work
ing shape before England had relieved
herself of her difficulties in South AT
RIGA. When the time comes that England
can once more give careful attention to
the Far East she will find that Muscovite
influences have been considerably advanc-
ed in that section. There is a rumor that
the car has asked for a coaling station
in the Greek archipelago. If that is true,
and if the request should be granted, it
would not take many more moves TO
make the situation acute.

TOO MICH POPULIsM.

The comment of Democratic leaders in
Washington on the Nebraska platform ap-
pears to be that it contains too much
Populism. The suggestion is thrown out
that its Populstic flavor is due TO con-
cessions to the very large Popullstic ele-
ment in Nebraska which IS acting with
the Democratic party. II chat is the
case it is pretty safe to assume that the
Democratic national platform will have
no such flavor.
1t seems to be agreed that the Nebraska
platform was dictated by Mr.. Bryan, and
that it contains his views on the political
questions now before the public. If it is
the case it is evident that steps win be
taken at once to adjust any differences
which may exist between Mr.. organs
views and those held by other Democratic
leaders. 1t would not be advisable for
the delegates TO the Democratic National
Convention to go 90 Kansas City with tho
understanding that Mr.. Bryan was 10 be
the nominee for President, without know
ing beforehand that he would be willing
to accept the platform adopted by the
convention.
q
difficult position to fiji. He is the choice
for President of both Democrats and Pop
uiists. At the same time he is an out and
out Democrat. Stin he can hardly say
20 the Populists, if he wants their sup
port that he is against making any con-
cessions to them in the Democratic plat
form.
1t seems TO be clear that the concessions
he made 10 them in the Nebraska plat
form are not wholly approved by some OF
the most prominent of the Democratic
leaders. The question which presents it
self is this: What concessions will Mr..
Bryan be willing to make to the Populsts
in the Democratic platform? II is about
certain that they are going to demand
some concessions as the price of their sup
port of the Democratic ticket. is it
likely that Mr. Bryan will advise going
further in the direction of concihating the
Populists than other Democratic leaders
are willing to go? This is a question tina
will receive good deal of attention from
Democrats between now and the time for
the meeting of the Democratic National
Convention.
The PoDulistic flavor of the Nebraska
platform would have a tendency to lessen
Mr.. Bryan's chances for the presidential
nomination of his party. if there were
other desirable candidates seeking it.
There is nobody in his way, however, and
the indications now are that there will
not be anybody. But it would not take
long to find candidate If the Democratic
leaders should become dissatisfied with
Mr.. Bryan. One thing seems to be Ger
tain, If the comments by Democratic lead
ers in Washington mean anything, and
that is that the Democratic national plat
form will not carry the amount of Popu-
ism there is in the Nebraska platform.

There is only one way to cure deaf

flammed condition of the mucuos lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumb-

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. and unless the infIamma-

will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
