Probably the first time the majority
of the British people ever heard of Sir
William Henry White was when IT was
announced in the papers the other day
that he had determined to retire from
the post OF director Of naval construc-
ton, after more than sixteen years OF
arduous service as the person chiefly
responsible for every British war yes
sci built during that time. Since 1888
he has been connected with the con-
struction department of the British ad-
miralty. Since 1855 he has been the
actual or responsible designer OF every
British war vessel that has come Off
the stocks.

ONLY A GOOD TICKET NECESSARY.

ONLY A GOOD TICKET NECESSARY.
Hon. Henry Watterson is about right
in the way he treats the Booker Wash
ington White House dinner incident.
He says that Mr.. Roosevelt will make a
very handsome, perhaps a. very notable
President, but that he will go his own
gait according to his nature. He says
that he is a gentleman and an honest
man, but is rather infirm of Judgment.
He regards the dinner incident but a
pointer. He has no doubt that Mr..
Roosevelt will be continually doing
the same kind of things in other ways,
a second Cleveland without Clevelands
robust sense and selfish perspicacity.
All the Democrats have to do ito win
a victory in 1904 is to get together,
keep their foolishness to themselves
and come down to the post with a
good ticket"
1t is probable that Mr.. Watterson,
in the foregoing, has sized up Mr..
Roosevelt pretty nearly right. He is
a man of ability, and his intentions
are all right, but his Judgment is like
~ " get MN IIllO lTOuDle. ne Will De
doing things all the time that will
have a tendency to disturb the har-
mony of his party. If at the end of
his term, or If at the end Of the next
| two years, the Republican party is
as firmly united as when Mr.. Mckinley
was last inaugurated, there will be a
great many surprised men in this coun-
try, and those who win be the most
surprised are those who know Mr.
Roosevelt best. He lacks the tactful
quality which Mr.. Mckinley possessed
in such marked degree. Few men
have the gifts which make great par
ty leaders and Mr.. Roosevelt hasn't
them. If the Democrats are wise
therefore they will get together, and,
as Mr.. Watterson says, keep their
foolishness to themselves. If they do
this, put a good ticket in the field and
make a platform that will command
the support of the entire party, they
will stand an excellent chance of elect
ing the next President. The mistakes
Mr.. Roosevelt will make will offer
them such an opportunity for getting
control of the government as they
would not have had If Mr.. Mckinley
had lived.

Military circles in Washington are
divided into two camps, one followers

Gen. Corbin. Recently there has been
no difficulty in distinguishing them on

he wears his uniform all the time. and

THE TARIFF AND THE Surplus.

1t is believed that it has been prac-
tically agreed by the President and the
! leaders of the Republican party that
there shall be nothing done at the COM
ing session of Congress in the direc-
ton of reducing the tariff. They are
very much afraid of touching the
tariff. There are so many interests that
would be affected-poweful interests
that the harmony of the party might
be disturbed. But there is a big sur
plus and it must be got rid of in soma
way, or else the business interests of
the country may be injuriously af-
fected by the locking up of so much
money.
1t is an easy matter, of course, to
get rid of it. and there are Republicans
who would like nothing better than to
point out ways for spending it, but ex-
travagant appropriations would have a
bad effect for the Republicans on the
congressional elections next fall-that
is, they would tend 10 make the people
believe that the Republicans had been
in power long enough. Therefore some
other way must be thought Of for get
ting rid of the surplus, and it is init
mated that the Republican leaders
have about concluded that the wisest
thing to do from party standpoint is
to still further cut down the internal
revenue taxes-the taxes on whisky,
beer and tobacco, and perhaps on some
other articles. BY adopting that course
the good will OF the great tobacco and
liquor interests will be gained.
There are tariff taxes which ought
to be reduced. They are not needed for
the protection of any interest. They
simply enable the trusts to charge
higher prices in the home market than
they get In foreign markets. The Re
publican party, however, is the friend
of trusts, and as long as it can assist
them it will do so. No tariff legislation
need be expected from this Congress.
The surplus will be gotten rid of in
some other way.

will the republicans insist that a dem

ed by Gov. Durbin are sound, then it
is perfectly safe for a republican to

governors act upon the same principle,
it Is safe for democrat to kill a re-

To-day will witness the conclusion
of the Georgia State Fair of 1901. The
season has been exceptionally pro-
pitious. The weather has been fine all
the way through, and the temperature
all that could be desired. There have
been no cold and wet days to detract
from the enjoyment of the pleasure
seekers. Had the Fair directors been
in a position to order such weather
as they wanted, they would probably
have asked for just such as they have
had. To-day being the last day of the
show, it should be the purpose and
pleasure of everybody who can do SO
to go out and give the Fair a happy
farewell, and wish for many joyous

The physicians who attended Presi-
dent Mckinley at Buffalo have not yet
sent in a bill for their services, and
it is said to be probable that they
will not do so at all. 1t has been
learned that Senator Hanna requested
that all expense accounts incident to
the Presidents illness and death be
submitted to him. so that he might
pay them out of his own pocket; but
he has received none so far. One Of
the physicians was asked day or two
ago when bill would be submitted.
He replied that he did not know, and
did not care to discuss the matter one
way or another. From a friend of an
other physician it was learned that
the medical men were rather inclined
to leave the whole matter of their
compensation to Congress. That
would be a decided innovation. After
President Garfield's death the doctors
did not hesitate to send in bills, and
good, round ones they were, too.

Johnson shows at his trial that the

and the engine struck him. The train
made enough noise to alarm him If he
had had any idea that he was on the

ImpnIed Alive.

Drink is given as the cause of a
most shocking tragedy in Detroit
early Wednesday evening when 10
year-old Theodore Pirch impaled him
self upon broken fence picket. The
jagged wood penetrated thirteen inches
into the boys intestines. He was Il
teamster for a planning mill and had
been sent out with load of sawdust.
Having picked up some companions,
they began stopping at saloons and
drinking till finally. as a companion
tells the story. 'we all climbed into
the wagon and hit the horse with a
fence picket that Prch had in the
wagon. The picket had been broken
off, leaving a rather sharp end. When
l hit the horse l threw the picket away
and it landed in n ditch.
'Pirch fell out of the wagon when
the horse started and rolled into the
ditch. He was so drunk he could
hardly get up. He picked up the
picket. but. when he started to walk,
he fell backwards and i'm some way
the stick ran into him." Some one
pulled the picket out of him. covered
with blood. He died in an hour.
