IN MERORY OF FRANCIS s. BAR
TOW.

The movement to raise fund with
which to erect monument to the men,
DRY of Francis s. Barlow, which for va
rious reasons has not yet enlisted the at
tention of the public, is about to be
pushed by the committee having il in
charge. Carnivals and holidays being now
over, and the first year of the century
having opened so auspiciously. it is to be
expected that one and all will contribute
to the already 100 long delayed monument
to one of savannahs MODEST citizens and
soldiers, who in every station in life did
honor to his native city, and dying, illus
trated the valor of its soldiery.
1t is nearly forty years since he left
Savannah in command OF his company,
the Oglethorpe Light Infantry. to make
part of an army that was destined to
cover itself with glory in the struggle 20
repel the invaders of the South. He was
made colonel of the Eighth Regiment OF
Georgia Volunteers, and became comman-
der Of a brigade. at the head of which
he fell on the battlefield of Manassas on
July q. 1851. A country mourned his loss
and the people of Savannah did honor 20
his memory. His resting place in Laurel
Grove is marked by simple stone.
1t is the purpose of those who have I'M
dertaken the sacred duty of establishing
a more notable evidence of the esteem in
which he was held and the part he per-
formed in the great civil struggle, to
erect monument or memorial in this city
to his memory-the gallant soldier who
in his last letter 20 the executive of Geor-
gia, having been charged by that official
with leaving his state which 1t was his
duty to defend to go to Virginia, said that
he went ito illustrate Georgia"
The generation to which Col Barlow
belonged is passing away. but the deeds
of heroes belong to all time and are hon
ored by all people. To a great extent it
is to those who know of Col. Barlow and
the cause for which he laid down his life
only by history and tradition that the
committee will apply for contributions,
and doubtless no one who is able to re-
spond will refuse to aid in the laudable
undertaking.

One Of our dear old Methodist preach
ers tells this story on himself, says Vic
tor Smith IN the New York Press: mot
long ago I undertook 20 fill the pulpit OF
a brother who was i'll. The church was in
Virginia, and in the congregation were
woman nanny, looking so picturesque
in her bandanna and pinafore as particu-
larry to attract my attention. In pre-
senting the subject of my discourse I re-
marked that the commentators did not
agree with me, whereupon the old woman
arose and quietly slipped out of the
church. After the service 1 found her
standing outside the door with bag in
her hand. and this she presented to me,
saying, with low curtesy: 1 hyear yo'
say, sab. dat de common taters dom
agree wild yo.' en- l hurry home TO git yo'
some sweet Virginny yams. 4"

GOV. Jennings, Iy.rGrRA1.

II Gov Jennings makes as good a gov
crnor as Gov. BloXham did there viii be
little opposition TO him IL he seeks sec
ond term. Judging from his inaugural adj
dress his inclinations and purposes are
all in the right direction. While not a
native Of Florida he is proud of her, an1
If determined to do all that he can for
her upbuiding. Her progress has been
such. especially within the last few years,
as TO justify the belief that notwithstsnd-
INF the setbecks she has had. she will be
enc of the most prosperous states in the
Union within the next quarter of a cen
fury.
Her public affairs have been wisely and
economically managed. That this is true
IS shown by her very small public debt
and her small tax burden One Of the
best advertisements she has is her low
rate of taxation. People who are seeking
homes always inquire about che rate of
taxation in the states Offering induce
ments TO settlers. In his inaugural Gov.
Jennings called attention to the necessity
for equalizing the tax burden. 1t seems
that there is little complaint on that
score, the last report Of board of equal
izaticn having been made almost thirty
years ago,
There is another important thing con-
corning which there appears to be need
of legislation, and that is che courts. The
Supreme Court has more work thrust
upon it than it can perform satisfactorily,
end it seems also that there is need of re-
form in regard to the Circuit Courts.
Courts should not be so overburdened
with business as to prevent them from
disposing of cases promptly. Delay in the
trial of cases amounts almost to denial
Ct justice. Gov. Jennings called attention
to this matter in his inaugural, and no
Coubt the Legislature will take notice of
it as soon as it meets.
Gov. Jennings enters upon the discharge
Of his duties with the confidence of the
people, and there are reasons for saying
that his course will be such, as the states
chief executive, as to retain their con-
fidence. He has fine opportunity to make
u reputation as a statesman and his
friends will be much disappointed in him
If he fails to come up to the high stand
ard they have set for him.

ACROSS CONTINENT AND OCEAN.


Americas greatest railroad man. James
]. Hill, greatest financier, J Pierpont
Morgan, and richest man John D. Rookie
Teller, have copbiued to make the great
est transportation system in the world.
This system includes line OF steamships
from Southampton to New York, system
of railroads from New York to the Pa
Pacific coast to the leading ports of
China and Japan.
The Standard OIL Company, of which
Mr.. Rockefeller is the chief member,
owns, it is said, the majority of the stock
of the American line of steamships to
Europe. The ships of this line are the
st. Paul, St. Louis, New York and Paris.
It is this line which, it is said. would
be chiefly benefited by the Hanna ship
subsidy bill now pending in the Senate.
The roads included in this immense
railroad and steamship system are con-
trolled by the three foregoing men. These
roads are the Erie, the Baltimore and Ohio,
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, the
Great Northern and the Northern Pacific
the ports on the Pacific being Tacoma
Wash, and Portland. Ore.
Mr.. Hin is having built in New London
Conn, two of the largest steamships in
the world. They will have an immense
carrying capacity, and there is no doubt
that they will be powerful factors in
building up a great trade with the Far
East. Mr. Hill is not waiting for sub
sides. He is confident that he can make
his ships earn a profit on their cost with
QUE government aid. He has built one of
the most successful railroads in the world
"a road that is operated for 50 per cent
of its gross earnings.
1t really looks as if we are just on the
eve of tremendous things in the trans
portation line 1t was thought that won
ders had been accomplished when a COM
bination of railroads had been formed that
reached from New York to Chicago. Now
at the beginning of the twentieth CEN
fury, we have a combination of steam
ships and railroads reaching from
Southampton. Eng. to Yokohama, Japan.
About everything is possible. however,
where money is unlimited. The capital
which Morgan, Rockefeller and Hill can
control is practically unlimited. If they
want as much as slOO,O0O,OOO for their en-
terprises they can get it for the asking.
Men who have money have confidence in
them and their undertakings. No doubt
the great system of railroads and steam
ships which they have organized will pay
enormous dividends. An of the railroads
are paying properties now and IL is only
a question of time when the steamship
lines will be. 1t has been predicted that
the richest cities of this country before
the end of this century will be on the
Pacific coast. The prediction is not an
unreasonable one.

Gov. Gambler is correct when he says
that It would be q good thing TO hang
few white men in Georgia for murder.
The extreme difficulty OF securing the
conviction and punishment of a white
man for murder is so notorious that II has
passed into saying that a white man
cannot be hanged in this state; and yet
murders are committed by white as
well as black men. Another good idea
would he 10 stop perdoning and turning
out OF the penitentiary white men who
have been convicted and sentenced Cor
long terms Tor atroclous crimes.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record, Dem) saws:
such a change in the laws of the coun-
try as would make the election of United
States Senators a matter TO be decided
by popular vote might be of possible adj
vantage in some states; but it would not
improve political conditions in Pennsyl-
vania under present circumstances. AS
the election laws are now framed in
Pennsylvania, il is impossible to prevent
fraud. Nothing could he easier for the
corrupt leaders who now have the mas
terry OF the Republican organization in
Pennsylvania than to east and count 100
900 fraudulent votes. They would elect
Senators at will and there would always

Peculiar Transaction by ex.County Attor

There is discussion among attorneys
of this city Of the propriety Of instituting
disbarment proceedings against Lewis S.
Young for matters growing out OF the
Jerome estate settlement. One very
serious charge preferred by gentleman
who claims to know is that Young at
tempted, without authority. to collect
$4,000 in life insurance held by Mrs
Jerome late husband and had the draft
for the full amount sent to him. 1t is as
serted that he advised the widow that he
held the draft and demanded fee ct
$500 for the collection. There was 70
contes. by the company and an attorneys
services were not at all essential The
lady was advised by friends not to pay it
but Young is said to Lave threatened and
cajoled to the point Of securing the fee.
If this is a fact, the attorneys of the
Boulder bar owe it to their profession to
drive Young out Of it.

Manila, March 77-Gen. Funston with
the assistance Of nine Americans and a
number of Maccabee scouts, captured
Agu;nal 20 in the country near Casiguror,
nine miles from Baler. on the northeast
coast of the Island Of Luzon. The rebel
leader and his entire staff are now in
Manila. Gen. Funston employed very
clever ruse to reach Aguinaldo. His
plan worked successfully. with the result
that the head and front OF the insurrec-
ZION is now where he will do no more
harm to American interests.
Gen. Funston and party landed as
near as possible to the place where
Aguinaldo was in hiding. and the ma i've
scouts passed themselves of as insur.
gents who, having captured Gen. Fun
ston and other Americans were convey
ing them to Aguinaldo.
When the supposed prisoners were
brought by their alleged captors before
Aguinaldo. they suddenly appeared IN
their true character, seized the Filipino
leader and his staff and made their way
back to the coast, where the gunboa,

'enate Committee Votes to Give 1t Library

Harry Casaday, who has been spend
ing several days in Denver in the inter

high feather. after hard and successful
fight before the senate finance committee.
Mr. Casaday succeeded in enlistng the
support Of the Democratic machine for

Frank Ad ans, julius Archele and all the
other state esmen with him. They went
before the committee and demanded
that Boulder be treated right. At II
o'clock last night the committee, on N =
tisn of Senator Ward voted to report
$4,000 for library building and $4,000
for maintenance. Should the revenues
Of the state be sufficient las they doubt
less will be) additional $4,000 was auth.
orized for maintenance, making a total
appropriation Of $4,000. The house
bill gave $4,000. but this included tie
re endorsement to the university of s37.-
900 invested in illegal warrants. This
item was stricken out by the senate com.
mittee but will be left to some future
legislature to ADJUST 1t still stands as
lust debt due the university.
There is little question that Senator
Ward will be able to secure the adoption
of the report, thus ably seconding the
efforts so gallantly put forth by Repre-.
