REPRESENTATIVE TALBERTrs SER.
VICE.

Congressman Talbert of South Carolina
is no doubt making himself many enemies
by Directing to action on pension bills by
the House in the absence of a quorum
but the country applauds his course 1t
may be that he does not prevent many
pension bills from passing, but he calls
attention to the reckless manner in which
Congress is increasing the pension bur
den. After awhile there VIII be such a
protest against pension jobbery that Con-
gress will be compelled to heed It,
These pension bills which are passed by
Congress have very little merit-at least
the great majority of them have. They
are. in fact, claims which have been re-
jected by the Commissioner of Pensions
Not being able to get anything under the
regular pension laws the applicants go
TO Congress and their claims are referred
to the Committee on Pensions. Generally
one member of that committee passes on
them, and the chances are that he does
not give much time to taking evidence
He probably hears what the applicants
have to say in their own behalf, and per-
haps what a few of their witnesses have
TO say for them. With a batch of bills
he goes into the House at the
time set apart for pension claims
and. in the presence of a few mem.
bers who DO not pay the least attention to
the claims. he has the whole batch allow
ed. In this way tens, even hundreds of
thousands of dollars in pensions are voted
at every session. 1t is certainly time that
hoy fr, h.
business.
The country has paid thousands of mil
lions Of dollars In pensions since the War
Of Secession and the outlook is that 1t
Will pay thousands of millions more before
the last of the Civil War pensions disap-
pear from the pension list. The pension
appropriation which passed the House the
other day carried $4,000 more than the
pension bill of last year The government
is paying out more than $l45, 600 600 annual
ly in pensions, and IL is now about thirty
five years since the close OF the War of
Secession. Applications for pensions from
those who participated in the war with
Spain are now reaching the Commissioner
of Pensions in large numbers. Every SOL
der that returns from the Philippines or
cuba or Porto Rico is besieged by
pension attorneys who try to make him
believe that he has has some ailment
which entities him to a pension. It would
not be surprising If before two years pass
the pension burden should be heavier than
ever before.
The people have a right to protest againt
the federal treasury being made use of by
politicians in Congress to get themselves
reelected. There are pension bills intro
duced into Congress, than have no real
merit They are intended to catch the SOL
der vote. The goat majority Of the peo-
pie never know about them. because they
don't interest themselves in such matters

COTTON MILL PROFITS.

There Is no doubt that a well managed
cotton mill anywhere in the cotton re-
gion will pay a good dividend on the
money invested in it. 1t is evident that
the people in this and other Southern
states believe it will. In all parts Of this
state cotton factory companies are be
ing formed. Yesterday We published no
tees of the formation of companies at
State sboro. Triton and Valdosta. The day
before a dispatch gave an account of a
mill that is soon to be erected in Moultrie,
and to-day it is stated in dispatches from
Gainesville and Millen that money is be-
ing raised for mills at those places.
Mr. W. S. Whitman talked TO some of
the business men of this city on Thurs
day respecting the profits which cotton
mills in this state yield He is the pro-
prietor of several mills, and. hence, spoke
from experience. His mills during the
last year paid large dividends. One re-
turned dividend of 20 per cent. and an
other of 100 per cent. He believes that
small mills are more profitable than large
ones, though why they should be is not
altogether apparent. He also believes in
fact probably that mill operatives are
more contented in the villages than in
the cities, because there are not so many
inducements to spend money, but it does
not follow that cotton mills in cities do
not pay well While villages have adj
vantages over cities in some respects. the
cities also have advantages. Many of the
grea test cotton mills are in large cities
and they appear to be doing bout as well
as those in the small towns and villages
Mr. William is very naturally pre- bldced
in favor of small mills located in viii
lagos because he has banks in many of
the small towns of the state, and he has
made a success of them.
There seems to be plenty of money in
the small towns in this state. 1t is only
necessary apparently for trustworthy men
in any of them to form a company to
build and operate a cotton mill to get all
the financial assistance that is necessary.
This shows that the people of Georgia are
in very good financial condition. And
there is money in this city that is seek
ing investment plenty of it. Those who
have il should invest it here. They made
1t here Instead of sending it to neigh
boring towns or to other states to be put
in factories. they should organize factories
at home and give employment to the
hundreds of people who are in need of
it, The opportunities and advantages for
manufacturing here are as good as in any
other city in the country. There are doa.
ems of small industries here that are do
ing well Any industry is certain to do
well here that is wisely managed Some
that failed were ruined by bad manage
ment

How GOV. shaw Was Complimented

Gov. Shaw of Iowa passed through Chi
cago on his way home from the East
yesterday, says the Chicago Times-Her
aid. Referring to his trip, he said ne
had been the subject of some funny para
graphs. The Governor is a good-looking
man of middle age. about the medium
hight and very affable
"One reporter" he said referred to me
as a dapper little old man. another said
my clothes didn't fit me, and that I was
no orator, according to classical stand
ards but the funniest compliment l ever
received was during the campaign last fall
in my own state. After / had made a
speech before a crowd that had gathered
to hear a debate between Jim Weaver
and myself, an old farmer pushed his way
through to where l stood, grasped my
hand. and said, with every indication of
sincere admration:
" Governor, that was a fine speech-an
excellent speech! Do you know, you re-
mind me very strongly of Abraham Lin
coin in your powers of illustration OF
course you are a better-looking man than
Lincoln was. Then stepping back and
| taking another look at me from head to
feet, and evidently intending to emphasize
the compliment, he added: But not much,
ether"

HILL AND THE NATIONAL CoNvEN.
VION

VIII ex-senator David b. Hill of New
York play an important part in the Dem
ocratic National Convention? 1t seems to
be understood that he is to be one of the
delegates at large
Mr.. Ihl is still a power in New York
politics, but he has not the influence he
once possessed In the National Conven-
ton Of 1896 he made a strong stand
against some Ct the provisions of the
advice had been needed in respect to
some Of his objections the party would
have polled a larger vote
No one knows, Of course, what stand
he win take in regard to platform declar-
ations in the event he is a delegate to
the Kansas City Convention. The under
standing seems TO be that he is prepared
to accept whatever platform the party
secs fit to adopt, though It is probable
that he has not abated in the least his
opposition to the l6 to 1 idea
What he particularly desires is that
the party shall be united es-
pecially the party in the state
Of New York. He believes that
with united party the Democrats can
carry that state. There are few men IN
New York who understand the political
situation in that state as Wen as he. lie
has made thorough study Of state pol
itics' ana speaks therefore as an authority
on that subject.
Mr.. Hin was one Of those who, It is I'M
derstood. opposed the wish Of Mr.. Bryan

to have the National Convention held
prior 10 that Of the Republican National
Convention. Mr.. German stood with him
in that matter. Their position was that
the Republican party, being the majority
party. should hold its convention frst, so
that the Democrats would have chance
to take advantage of any mistakes 1t
might make in its ticket or its platform.
It is not riskiBg too much 10 say. how
ever, that he VIII not have a great deal
Of influence in the National Convention.
The men who will control il have no
love for him, because OF his attitude dur
ing the campaign Of 1856. He may come
10 the front again this year in state
politics, but it viii be a long while be-
fore he VIII be again a prominent fig
IRE in national politics.

A Miissionary's Mistake.

1t is well known that the Chinese Ian
guage is one of the most difficult To mas
ter, says Mrs. Emil Dorm in Leslie's
Weekly, and for us TO attempt this task
after we have finished our school years is
excessively trying and difficult; and Ger
tainly the mistakes one hears OF as being
made by those who begin TO talk and
worse stiR, preach in a language they
fondly imagine they have mastered are
ludicrous in the extreme. l heard of a
clergyman who was preaching 10 a Chi

sternation when he found he had been
saying CAL the pigs, Oh my friends: call
the pigs His mistake, | believe, was
due entirely to putting the accent on the
wrong syliables, which altered the whole
sense of the words. The Chinese seem TO

The Clark contest from Montana seems
to involve great sums of money in all of
its phases. Within the last few days, it is
said, the Senate has paid to witnesses and
others connected with the case $4,000 in
fees and expenses, and it is estimated that
al least $4,000 more will be expended in
printing and other expenses. The committee
has finished taking testimony in the case,
but 1t is not expected that the Senate will
decide the matter for several weeks. There
are those who do not believe the case will
be acted upon at this session.

Very little has been heard recently re-
speeding the Frick Carnegie case. It was
rather expected that Mr.. Carnegie would
make a warm answer to the suit filed by
his former partner, and that the public
would get a further insight into the won
derfully profitable business of the mon
ster steel corporation. But of late bo n
parties have been as dumb as Oysters, and
now there is talk to the effect that the
matter at issue between Prick and Carne-
gle may be compromised and the case TAX
en- out of court.

The Northern Pacific Railway will take
up to the Supreme Court a case involving
the validity of the revenue tax on bills of
lading for export The question will turn
on that clause of Article /, Section 9. of
the constitution, which says that mo tax
or duty shall be laid on articles exported
from any state" The federal court at
Minneapolis recently decided the war tax
to be valid and constitutional holding
that the tax was not laid on the goods ex-
ported, but on the bill of lading as docu-
ment.
