CURRENT COMMENT.

The Nashville American Dem) says:
Reports from reputable sources show
that the American soldiers in the Philip
pines are doing their duty as soldiers.
Gen. Macarthur is a gentleman whose
word no one who knows anything of his
character will doubt. He is a brave sol
der, truthful, modest man. Replying
to Gen. Corbin's inquiry concerning re-
ports of drunkenness among the troops,
Gen. Macarthur declares that drunken
ness among the army in the Philippines
is no more noticeable than in garrisons
in the United States, and reports that
the army is in splendid discipline. high
state of efficiency, doing the hardest kind
of service in the most faithful inspiring
manner Gen. Macarthur also denies the
story that disordery houses in the Phil
ippines are licensed, protected or en-
couraged.'
The Philadelphia Ledger commenting on
the recent great railroad deal, says: THE
purchase of the Southern Pacific Railroad
by the Union Pacific syndicate. with the
allied interests. gives the purchasers not
only a line from ocean to ocean. under
one management, but almost a monopolv
of the railroad business of the whole
Pacific coast, monopoly which will be-

The grand jury OF the Superior Court
of Laurens county the other day made a
presehtment to the court that is worthy
OF more than passing notice, embodying
as 1t does a broad public spirit that
is worthy of commendation and en-
ulation. Only two members of the jury
were residents of the city of Dublin, not
withstanding which it was unanimously
recommended that the Board of Commits
sioners of Roads and Revenues of the
county cooperate in every manner pos
sible with the citizens and business bod
les of Dublin for the upbuilding of the
city, knowing that as the city increases
in Importance the county will increase
in Importance, and every interest in the
county will be thereby benefited" That
is the right spirit; no antagonism or jeal-
ousy between town and country, but a
purpose to pull together for the common
good.

Senatorial Repartee

once III the senate chamber John !
ingalls, was directing some remarks 10
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,. The
other senator from that state. Mr..
Dawes, having come in while Mr.. In
GailS was speaking, thought the words
were meant for his ear, and so, inter
rupting, he asked Ingalls, If he was di.
rectlng the remarks at him. The tall
senator turned slowly around, for Mr..
Dawes sat behind him. and then, with
delicious intonation. but an instant
wit, he said, Il was directing nv re-
marks to the successor of Charles Sum
ner and not to the successor of Daniel
Webster"
The repartee has become traditional.
and the utterance was at once placed
alongside of that reply of Conkling
to Senator Thurman, which is also ira
ditional in the senate chamber.
Conkling was speaking. and Thur
man had said, interrupting him, Does
the senator aim his remarks at me; {;
he constantly turns to me-" when
Mr.. Conkling, with delicious gravity,
bowing to Thurman, with whom he
was very friendly, said; when | turn

Rusie will remain with the league,
but another great player and a heavy
hitter, one of the leaders at the bat for
several seasons, Lajoie, will leave the
league to play with the Philadelphia
association. This is one of the latest
players to desert the old league. When
all the teams are announced. many an
old favorite will be found in new
clothes. New York will have hardly
any of the public favOrites. Brooklyn,
however, is fortunate, as is Pittsburg.
These two teams will show the same
faces to the fans.

PhOtOs That Would Paw.

Everybody is trying to make money
quickly nowadays. and photographers
amateur and expert, form a goodly per.
centage of the total included In 'every.
body" Here are a few subjects that
would fetch very high prices:
A house being struck by lightning.
We have photos Of lightning flashes,
but no picture of the kind which shows
flash actually striking house.
Two trains in collision. Photos of
wrecked trains are common enough,
but snap shot at the very occurrence
Of the smash remains unrecorded.
The crew of a lifeboat in the act of
rescuing the sailors of a sinking ship
in fierce storm.
A negative of an Atlantic liner bat
ting with an ocean tempest If you
could take a snap shot of this subject
from the deck of another liner it would
be worth a good sum.
A photograph of sprightly earth
quake In Japan or some other country
which Is troubled In this way. 1t
would be well to hang up your camera
and make it work automatically, as
earthquakes are not to be played with.
Such picture would be jumped at.

"Spellbindera'" ways.

"Spellbinding" is the happy name
given TO the platform speaking which
plays such an important part in every
campaign. The national chairman de-
termines who shall be the stars I'm this
department. An ex-president is most
In demand, a speaker or an ex-speaker
comes next as rule. and senators and
representatives are Invited to speak in
the order of their usefulness. One
speech by an ex-presdent is worth half
a dozen efforts by other men. though
they may be more logical and eloquent.
The candidate himself, when an ora
tor, will draw greater crowds than any
body else, but if he is wise he will let
the national committee arrange his itin-
erary and schedule. Headquarters are
always overrun with volunteers for the
stump; the star, or man with repu-
tatlon, waits to be invited or urged.
Most of the lesser men are laborers for
hire, but others are ambitious to make
reputation as a stepping stone TO po-
litical office, and some are intensely in
earnest and eager to be useful to their
party.
The national committee settles for
the expenses of spellbinders, unless
they insist on paying their own way,
which is unusual, Some of the great

their services and travel in state
