The question, Who is likely to be Gov
Gamblers successor? has extraordinary
attractions for the Atlanta papers. 1t has
been only a few months since Gov. Can
dler's second term began, and yet these
papers have something to say relative to
the foregoing question almost every day
Is it their purpose to keep ringing the
changes on the question until the Demo-
Gratis make another nomination for gov
ernor?
1t will be a year and a half nearly be-
fore the nominating convention will meet
Are the people of che state to be given
something about gubernatorial candidates
every day during all of that time? Would
not the people appreciate a little rest
from politics?
Most of the stuff that is printed about
the different candidates has very little
foundation. A story is put out one day
to be denied the next. For instance, Hon.
Pope Brown went as a delegate 20 the
State Baptist convention at Valdosta, and
at once the story was started that he had
pledged himself to the Baptists to be a
prohibition candidate for governor. Mr.
Brown was worried about the matter I'M
til he finally thought it advisable to come
out in a card and deny the story.
1t is probable that other candidates will
have to deny stories of one sort and an
other before the campaign is half over
A little story, based upon what some poll
ticlan thinks might be the case, is start
ed. Before it has travelled far its char
acter has undergone a radical change. 1t
bears no resemblance to the original
story.
AS a general thing the people get err
roneous ideas of the candidates when the
discussion of their qualifications and their
political leanings is begun so long before
the time for nominating a candidate. Be-
sides the people become tired of so much
candidates a couple of years before the
time for making the ticket 1t can be
safely stated that they would be glad
of a rest from politics of a year or so.
1t will be soon enough to begin discuss
ing the claims of the various candidates
for governor year hence It is probable
that the recognized candidates for the
nomination would be glad II their names
did not appear in the newspapers during
the next six months. Readers Of the
appreciate the abandonment for few
months OF what is getting to be tire
some subject.

Took PInmb's Hat.

Several senators who are sti,l in the
city met in one of the committee rooms
a the capitol the other morning. says
the Washington Times. The converse ton
in some way drifted 10 William H. Crane
and his Interpretation of the role of THE
Senator" 1t brought out a story OF how
Crane put the finishing touches upon his
great character study.
LAS you well know" said one of the
group. Crane took the character almost
directly from Senator Plumb of Kansas.
Crane had iust started out with The Sen
ator.' and had opened in Washington. We
had an seen the performance, and liked
1t Immensely. But l thought l saw one
defect Crane wore high silk'ha which
was not at all according to my think
ing, in keeping with his imitation of
Plumb, who always wore the character
istic broad brimmed felt hat of the South
erner. One evening, when Crane, ingalls,,
Plumb and myself happened to be dining
together, l remarked to Crane about the
matter of the high hat
You really ought not to wear 1t, for it
is not in keeping with the character"
said I. You ought to wear one like
Pmmb's."
Crane did not say much in answer, hut
when he arose from the table he reached
out for Plumbs hat, and calmly put it
on Leaving his own hat for Plumb,
Crane went off down the street, with the
old felt affair damned down over his fore
head. The senator was too surprised to
offer objection The next night Crane ap-
peared on the stage with Plumbs hat on
his head. and thereafter wore it at every
performance. -

WHAT WILL RUSSIA DO ABOUT IT,

What will Russia do about the refusal
of China to sign the Manchurian conven-
ton? A few days ago she practically
said to China that the convention must be
signed or there would be war bet ween the
two countries.
China has refused to sign, and there are
reasons for thinking there will be no war
1t is stated that Japan pledged her
self to stand by China, even to the extent
of going to war with Russia, if China
would refuse to sign 1t is difficult TO
see how the other Powers could help up
holding China if Russia should make the
refusal to sign the convention a pretext
for war. All of them urged China not
to sign.
The signing of The Manchurian conven-
ton would have meant the disruption
Of the Chinese Empire because if Russia
had taken Manchuria the other Powers
would have insisted upon having a share
of territory also-that is, the other Euro
pean powers and Japan would. Besides,
it was the understanding of all the Pow
ers, including Russia that no one of them
should demand territory on account of
the Boxer troubles. Russia does not APP
pear to have adhered to this agreement.
1t is true that she pretends that her
occupation of Manchuria is not intended
to be permanent The other Powers,
however. do not trust her. Englands oc-
cupstion of Egypt was not intended 20
be permanent, but she still holds that
country and gives no indication of an
intention to get out of it. If Russia once
got a firm foothold in Manchuria the
chances are that she would stay there.
VIII Russia break off her friendly reIa-
tions with China, as she threatened to do?
That is a question that is just now re-
ceiving a great deal OF attention. not only
in this country but in Europe. And if
Russia should attack China would the
other Powers lend China a helping hand?
The situation is full of danger. If
conflict is avoided it will be by means
of clever diplomatic work. Russia no
doubt feels keenly her failure to get her
grip on Manchuria, but in view of the
fact that the other Powers are arrayed
against her she may think it the wiser
plan to withdraw from the position she
has taken in regard to Manchuria.

Turf Field and Farm tells this story
about the late Charles P. Clark. formerly
president of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad: when the late
Robert Bonner purchased Maud s. he
sent her to Charter Oak Park to be train
ed. One day friend of Mr.. Bonner left
New York to visit him at the park but
found that the train did not stop at that
station. The conductor was polite, but
said that he could not go against orders.
At New Haven a halt was made. and Mr..
Bonner's friend tried to bride the engin-
eer with ten dollar bill, but in vain. He
was then told that President Clark was
on the train, and he went to him. Why
don't you see the conductor? asked Mr..
Clark. i have, but he will not disobey
orders Why not then go forward and
bride the engineer?' I tried bribery at
New Haven, but it would not work The
absence of evasion was the best policy.
Mr.. Clark not only gave orders TO have
the train stopped at Charter Oak but
promised some day to see Maud S. He
had witnessed the little attempt at brib-
cry. and the frank confession of the Of
tense seemed to please him"

sALusBURY,s LONG SERVICE.

The impression in England is that Lord
Salisbury will not remain at the head of
the government much longer. Indeed, his
resignation may be expected at any time.
1t is believed by some that Mr.. A. ]. Bal
four will be prime minister before the re-
assembling of Parliament.
Lord Salisbury's health Is very bad. He
is suffering from a disease that is proba-
bly, beyond the skill of physicians. He
may of course live several years, but he
will not be able to give his attention to
public affairs. In fact, it is well under
stood that if his life is to be prolonged
he must relieve himself from the burdens
of Office as soon as possible.
There is some opposition to Mr. Balfour
as his successor. There is no doubt of his
ability but he is lacking in industry and
force of character. He has not been a
conspicuous success as the leader of the
House of Commons. Indeed, it is said
that there has been felt for a long time
the need of a more energetic character
as parliamentary leader.
Lord Salisbury's career as premier has
been notable one. Oply one prime
minister held office for longer period,
and that was Lord Liverpool, who was
at the head of the ministry for fourteen
years and three hundred and twenty-nine
days. On Thursday of last week Lord
Salisbury had been in power for twelve
years and one hundred and forty-two
days. Mr. Gladstones record was twelve
years and one hundred and forty-one
days.
There is no doubt that the South Afri-
can war has been a heavy strain on Lord
Salisbury. The British met with many
reverses in the beginning of it and there
was a feeling that one or more of the
Continental Powers would intervene, thus
increasing Great Britain's difficulties The
war has also put heavy strain on Brit
ish finances. All of these things have
helped to break down the premier, and
now he finds that his health is gone and
that If he wants a year or two more of
life he must get out of working harness.
No doubt Joseph Chamberlain would
like to succeed him as the head of the
government, but Mr.. Chamberlain has not
reached the point yet where he can COM
mand that honor. But there is no doubt
that he is the most forceful character
connected with Lord Sallsbury's govern
ment

PER SONAL.

In noting the arrival at San Juan of
James S. Harlan, the new attorney gen
eral of Porto Rico, a local paper says
that he is "a fine specimen of physical
manhood" and also informs its readers
that he comes from country where the
snow lies four feet deep"
Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, wife of the
philanthropist, has been his ablest help
meet in all his projects to do good to
his fellowmen. 1t was in fact through
his benevolent work that Mr.. Carnegie
met his wife. She was Miss Louise Whit
field, with a little fortune of $4,000 in her
own right, which she was using in char
liable work. She had also beauty, good
kTmor and good health. Since their mar
riage her benevolent activities, though
continued, have been obscured by her
husbands prodigality. Mr.. and Mrs. Car
Legie have one pretty little daughter.
Three expert biologists from the Unit
ed States Geological Survey have been
detailed to make a geologic and mineral
reconnaissance of the Island of Cuba. They
are Dr. @. Willard Hayes, 7. Wayland
Vaughan and A. c. Spencer. Messrs.
Hayes and Vaughan have reached the
island and taken up their work, after
conference with the military governor. 1t
is expected that these biologists will ac-
complish results of distinct economic
value to the island. Their assignment is
at the request OF Secretary Root and
Maj Gen. Wood, and is with the APP
prevail of Secretary of the Interior Hitch
cock. The expenses will be met by the
Cuban government.
After April 90 on which date Presi-
dent Mckinley will leave Washington for

We congratulate the Louisville Courier
Journal upon it's enterprise and regard
for the eternal fitness of things 1t is
the only newspaper in the United States
that has produced 1901 picture of Kwang
Hsu, Emperor of China. The others have
persistently chung to an old picture OF
about the year 1887, showing the son of
Heaven" to have an infantile face. of pos
sibly dozen years. Apparently these
unprogressive newspapers imagined that
His Majesty OF China would remain in
childish immaturity forever. Not so the
Courier Journal, however. 1t has brought
him down to date. Preserving the gen.
eral contour of the infant Kwang Hsus
face, the Courier Journals artist has add
ed few years of age to it, put a mus
tache and chin beard on the royal coun-
tenance, stuck peacock feather In the
cap and put string of pearls around his
neck. The result is first rate counter
felt presentment of what the Emperor
may possibly look like, since he has grown
to manhood and assumed the burden or
many wives. We wish now that our Louis
vile contemporary would exercise its gen.
ius upon the well-known portrait of the
Duchess of Marlborough that appears in
the New York papers almost every day.
The lady in the picture has worn the
same frock and the same coiffeur, both
OF which are dong out of date, for years.

AGNINALnn,s FInTIRE

The anti-imperialistic league and a few
parently that the government doesn't
know what disposition to make of Agui-
naldo. There are no signs that the gov
eminent is in doubt about the matter
We have already stated that it is prob
able the government had decided upon its
course with regard to the insurgent
leader before he was captured in the
event of his falling into its hands. 1t is
fair to assume that Gen. Funston did
not undertake TO capture Aguinaldo with
out the approval of the government.
The indications are that Aguinaldo will
be utilized in restoring peace in
the Philippines There are no good
reasons why he shouldn't be. lie
has a great deal of influence with
the Filipinos. many of whom are
yet hostile to American rule simply
because they don't understand what il is
that the Americans propose to give them
in the way of government Even Agui-
naldo was greatly surprised when be
was told what the Taft Commission was
doing. He is quoted as having said that
he had no idea that the Americans would
be so liberal
II that is how Aguinaldo feels about
the matter il is but reasonable to sup
pose that the Fnipinos stil in insurrec-
ZION will feel the same way as soon as
they become informed as to what the
Americans are doing and propose to do
Who is there who is so well qualified to
inform them as Aguinaldo? They have
confidence in him. and if he goes among
them and tells them that he is satisfied
that under American rule they will have
liberty and prosperity the chances are
that there win not be an insurgent in
arms against the government of the
United States by June l.
1t is doubtful if there is much in the
rumor that the President has in mind the
advisabilty of inviting Aguinaldo to
visit this country. Still, it may be that
there is some foundation to 1t. If the
President contemplates making Agui-
naldo an important official in the Philip
pines, he could not do a wiser thing, in
thing of the greatness of this country its
wealth and prosperity He might be so
impressed that he would willingly assist
in bringing about conditions in the
Philippines that would tend 20 make
those islands prosperous.
1t is pretty safe to say that there will
be no trouble with Aguinaldo. If he is
half way satisfied with the work of the
Taft Commission he will be only 100 glad
of chance to assist it in it's work. HE
is being kindly treated and has the
largest measure of liberty consistent with
LIS position. 1t is probable that in
very short time he will be given his
liberty and that he will become an i'm
portant factor in the upbuilding of the
islands.

where the Carnage WIN be worst

The war between Russia and Japan
having begun at last, the account of the
first battle was going over the wires,
says the Chicago Tribune.
"At this moment" ran the description,
Gen. Dumbrowski ordered forward his
reserves, under command of Gems. Barle-

artillery fire came from the heights
where Field Marshal Onebejogawata had
posted Wibbertigoolokichi's and Sorabo-

wicz fell while CALAMITY leading his
troops into action The command of his
division devolved upon Gen. Hankypan-

wounded, but refused to leave the field.

was fearful. Among those who were

Many of our Well-known millionaires
have a habit of going about New York
with only few cents of change in their
pockets, and perhaps none carries less of
the coin of the realm than Henry Clews,
says the New York Press. Not long ago
he and Mrs. Clews dined at a place where
the banker broker-author WAS unknown,
and where the rule was strictly cash
down. Knowing that his good wife gen.
orally had sufficient money in her purse
to defray any ordinary expense, be whis-
pered when the finger bowls were
brought: my dear, will you lend me
enough to pay for the dinner? 1 forgot
to bring any money" But Mrs. Clews,
too, had forgotten to bring any money.
and there sat this delectable couple with
millions at home but not cent for hotel
tribute! The bankers explanation to the
waiter was not regarded as satisfa Glory,
neither did the house understand The
proprietor, a fellow without discernment
or tact, was so inclined TO be incredulous
that Mr.. Clews, disdaining a controversy.
quietly deposited his gold watch as "A
pledge that the bill should be paid as soon
as he could send a messenger from his
home. In getting into this scrape Mr..
Clews is not singular. Other millionaires
have had similar difficulties. There is a
well-told story that John d. Rockefeller
happening to find his pockets empty, once
permitted a stranger to pay his fare on
the eleva ted road
