In an article in the Atlanta Journal
the Rev. Walker Lewis attacks the
Wright dispensary bill. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the author Of the
bill is a prohibitionist, and stands high
in the prohibition councils, and the
further fact that some of the warmest
supporters OF the bill are either pro-
hibltionists or temperance people the
extreme prohibitionists are against it,
az least. we infer from some things APP
pearing in print that they are.
The Rev. Mr. Lewis seems TO think
that the liquor men are behind the bin
for the reason that they do not seem
70 be lighting H. II IL probable that
the breweries favor the bin simply be-
cause they are tired OF the liauor guess
ton agitation. They would like legls-
lation that would insure peace between
the liquor Interests aud the prohibition

CUBANs WANT TOO MUCH.

The Cubans want too much. We
have given them independence and
now they want their products admit
ted to our markets free of duty. 1t
is probable that those Cubans who are
on their way to Washington to urge
that the duty be taken off of Cuban
sugar, and reduced on Cuban cigars,
cigarettes, tobacco, fruits, wines, ETC.,
will meet with disappointment. If our
market were to be made free for Gu
ban sugar our own sugar interests
would suffer, and if our tariff on all
other Cuban products were to be reduc-
ed, as the Cubans propose, our revenue
would suffer considerable loss. If Gu
ba should get the advantage arising
from a free market for her products in
this country, she would be about as
well off. so far as her material inter
ests were concerned, as if she were an
nexed. And she would get all of
these benefits without having to bear
any of the burden of supporting the
government which home producers
have to bear.
1t is true she has something to offer
in return-her trade, but we get a
great deal of the trade of other coun-
tries to which we do not grant the
freedom of our markets. England
buys from us much more than Cuba
is likely to buy within the next GEN.
fury, and Germany is a big customer
of ours. Germany would like to have
the privilege of getting her beet sugar
into our market free of duty.
If these Cuban gentlemen are grant
ed all they want it will be many day
before the annexation sentiment in Gu
ba will be much greater than it is now.
1t is probable that the visiting Cubans
will be told to wait awhile-at least
until Cuba is in shape to negotiate 4

wholesale and retail liquor dealers
have no interest in having the bill
passed. Indeed, it would injure the
wholesale liquor dealers of the cities OF
the state, because dispensaries would
get their supplies direct from distillers'
just as the South Carolina dispensaries
do, and the wholesale dealers would
lose whatever of the jug trade they
now have in counties which should
establish dispensaries.
AS far as we are able to see there
fore the breweries may favor the bill,
but the liquor dealers do not. Our
understanding is that Mr.. Wright pre-
pared and introduced the bill because
he believed that the effect of it would
be to promote temperance. He has
about come to the conclusion, in all
probability. that prohibition does not
accomplish what is claimed for it, and
being an earnest temperance man, and
DESTROYS OF promoting temperance in
every way that he possibly can, he
has come to the conclusion. after CIV
ing the subject very careful considera-
ton, that some good in the direction
of temperance could be done by means
of dispensaries. 1t has seemed to us
that if there are counties that want
to try dispensaries they should be CIV
en- the opportunity to do so. 1t is GER
tain that a county with a well con-
Quoted dispensary would be better off
than if it had blind tigers" scattered
all over it. The liquor evil in such a
county would certainly be less.
The Rev. Mr.. Lewis presents his side
of the question with considerable feel
ing, but it seems to us that he does
not look at the question in a practical
way. He ignores some very important
facts

Extraordinary Cure
A Statement Given by Thos.
c. Hall of Belleview, Fla,
the well known Merchant
and firm of Hall Bros.

This is to certify that I have been
afhicted with very severe case of
structure for the last twenty years and
have suffered untold misery 1 have,
been treated by over fifty physicians
in the states of Florida and Georgia.
some of them recommended to me as
being the very best physicians in the
South. They have used all forms of
treatment, some of them even operat-
ed upon me and came very near kill
ing me. At last they gave me up and
l started for New York to have a sur
gical operation performed by a spe-
cialist who was recommended to me by
these different physicians. While in
Savannah 1 was recommended to con-
suit DR.. j. Newton Hathaway, a spe-
cialist of that city, before going to
New York. I did so but with little
faith. However. after talking with the
doctor somehow felt as if he were the
man I had been looking for, as his con-
f1dence in his ability to cure me SEEM
ed to be sure and positive. so I placed
my case into his hands for treatment,
and to my surprise and delight in a
very few days l commenced to get bet
ter and after about two months treat
ment I was discharged thoroughly
cured and have not had any trouble
whatever since that time. The pleasant
part of the treatment was that I was
not under any surgical operation,
neither was there any amount of pain
caused by the treatment. This, / con-
slider, wonderful, and 1 certainly be-
lieve if all persons who are suffering
with structure could avail themselves
of the skill of DR.. Hathaway that they
would save themselves much suffering,
besides a great deal of expense. l
was advised by large number of reg
ulaI physicians that DR.. Hathaway
could not do anything for me, there
fore, while / had heard of his reputa-
ton, would not come to see him be-
cause of their statements. 1 WISH
however, now that I had gone to him
when / first heard of his reputation.
/ write this testimoniay for pur-
pose of benehting humanity, regardless
of my personal feelings in the case.

And such a stylish hattum!

And bet on games and equi:

At combats gladiatorial,
And ate enough to feed
Ten boarders at Memorial;
He often went on sprees,
And said, on starting homus,

THE REcIPRocITY coNvENrrnN

1t Is intimated that the reciproeitv
convention, which met in Washing
ton yesterday, was called in the in
terest of the sugar trust 1t is certain
that 1t was called through the efforts
OF those who want an enlarged market
for manufactured products, and are
willing to open our markets to agri-
cultural products of other countries in
order to get the concessions they want.
1t is claimed that the sugar trust
wants raw sugar admitted free of duty
and the duty retained on the refined
product. That would give it a rnonop-
oily of the American market and enable
1t, perhaps, to export refined sugar.
To admit raw sugar free, however, the
government would have to give up
revenue amounting to more than $780,
100000 a year, and our sugar indus
try, both cane and beet. would be
ruined, because our sugar producers
could not compete successfully with
those of Cuba and Europe.
In fact, the farmers do not appear
to be in sympathy with the Washing
Wal ANNAbASNAhy SOhNGAllOl. AS INey
see it, the convention wants to pro-
mote reciprocity at their expense. The
manufacturers concerned in it are will
ing that sugar, tobacco. wool, cotton
fruits and some other agricultural
products shall come into our markets
free, provided their manufactured pro-
ducts are permitted to enter certain
foreign markets free.
When this question of reciprocity is
viewed from all points it be-
comes apparent that it is one that is
not easy of settlement In order to
negotiate reciprocity treaties some in
terests have to be sacrificed. There
isn't any interest that is going to per-
NIT itself to be sacrificed. 1t was de-
monstrated in the last Congress that
the Senate was not likely to be in a
hurry to ratify reciprocity treaties.
If the convention that is in session in
Washington is in the interest of the
sugar trust, it will not have a great
deal of influence with that body.

BLOCKING A RAILROAD DEAL.

Gov. Van Zant of Minnesota is quot
ed as saying that he intends to do
everything in his power to break up
the great railroad combination that
was formed in New York city a week
or two ago by the creation of the
Northern Securities Company, incor-
porated in New Jersey. This company
is to control the Great Northern.
Northern Pacific, Union Pacific South
ern Pacific and the Burlington and
Quincy roads. The Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroads are in
corporated under the laws of Minneso-
ia, and hence that state has juris-
dict;on of them. 1t is claimed that be-
ing parallel lines they cannot be con-
solidated under existing laws. Gov.
Van Zant is quoted as saying that if
there is not at present sufficient au-
thority for preventing the two roads
in question from consolidating their
interests he will call the Legislature
together, and have additional legisla-
ton enacted. The people of Minnesota
appear to be stirred up in respect to
the matter.
1t is probable, however, that it will
be found that the consolidation has
been made without violating any law,
1t is not reasonable that such a tres
mendous deal would have been under
taken unless it were well within the
law. The men who engineered it are
far too shrewd to run the risk of being
made ridiculous by having their work
torn to pieces before it is fairly COM
pleted on the ground that it is con-
trary to law. 1t is safe assertion
that the law was well studied before
the deal was undertaken.

THE NEW TREATY WITH GREAT
BRITAIN

The new treaty with Great Britain
has been signed by Secretary Hay and
Ambassador Pauncefote, and now it is
for the Senate to say whether or not
it shall be accepted. 1t is fair to as
sumo that it will be ratified, because
! it is not probable that Secretary Hay
! would have agreed to treaty that he
had reason to think the Senate would
not ratify. He had before him, when
the treaty was being negotiated, the
objections to what was known as the
Hay Pauncefote treaty. When the Sem
ate discussed that treaty it made it
clear what it would accept and what
it would not There is no reason for
thinking therefore that the new treaty
contains anything that the Senate will
consider as sufficient ground for it's
rejection.
The text of the treaty will not of
course be made public until after it
is sent to the Senate but it seems to
be pretty generally understood that it
practically abrogates the Clayton Bull
wer treaty and that it grants all of the
concessions asked for by this country
in connection with the Nicaragua ca
nal. The English papers appear to be
rather pleased than otherwise that the
concessions have been made, though
some Of them think, or pretend to
think, that their government should
have obtained something for them
concessions along the Canadian boun-
dairy or colonial trade privileges. How
ever, they do not complain much. Per
haps they think that by yielding to
the wishes of this country in the mat
ter of the Nicaragua canal, the public
sentiment here, in favor of lending the
struggling Beers a helping hand, will
be prevented from becoming so de-
monstrative as to influence the gov
eminent
There is no doubt very strong feel
ing among the American people in ia
vor of doing something to assist the
Beers. 1t would require very little
to excite enthusiastic demonstrations
in their behalf. I
A great pro-Boer movement in the
United States would start similar
movements, in all probability, in Ger
many, France, Holland and perhaps
Russia. 1t is of the utmost Importance
to Great Britain therefore that she
shall retain the good will of the Amer
lean people. That is of more import
ance to her at this time than any con-
cessions she could get in such a treaty
as that which has just been negotiat-
ed. 1t is probable that the British pa
pers recognize that it is. and therefore
they are not disposed to go further in
commenting upon the treaty than TO
complain that the English government
obtained nothing for what they insist
upon regarding as very important and
valuable concessions. AS a matter of
fact, however, it is better for Eng
lands commercial welfare that the
Nicaragua canal should be built even
II 1T is to be wholly under the control
OF the United States, than that it
should not be built at ALL Therefore
outside of gaining our good will, she
VIII be benefited by the treaty. The
English papers haven't any reason TO,
complain. and it is safe to say that
they know they haven't. 1t NAV be
that their complaints are intended to
create the impression that their gov
eminent has been extremely generous.
