A WORD FROM GOMEZ.
The Cuban General Assures Gov. Wood
That the Natives Are Not Restless
Over American Occupation.

Havana, Feb. 27.-Gen. Gomez visit
ed Gov. Gen. Wood Tuesday morning
and assured him that the stories of
unrest and dissatisfaction at the
continuance of the United States Oc-
cuPation were false and that he had
been misrepresented in statements to
the effect that he favored an imme-
date withdrawal of the United States
troops.
Gen. Gomez said if United States
troops would withdraw now he feared
bloodshed. Beyond doubt within 60
days the Cuban's would be fighting
among themselves. Gen. Gomez added:
eff the Americans were to withdraw
to-day, I would go with them"

The Conductor Didn't Wait.

The story published in last Tuesdays
Sun about a woman who tagged a. fast
freight train near Wilkesbarre, Pa, in
order to get the correct time from the
tralnmen because she feared that if
dinner was late her husband would
beat her reminded a reader of an in
cident that took place not long ago
on one of the United Railways Com
pany's cars, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can.
1t is well known that street car con-
ductors have their troubles and that
some of these troubles are caused by
women. OF course, it is not the fault
of the gentler sex, and conductors, as
rule, are gallant enough not to COM
plain.
The woman who is the chief figure in
this tale boarded a northbound car
on Pennsylvania avenue and rode sew
eral squares before she signified her
wish to get off. The conductor accord
ingly pulled the bell, when, to his
amazement, the finely attired passen-
ger suavely asked if he could not wait
minute till she was again ready to
get on and resume her journey.
Il have a prescription, you know
she explained, land 1 want to get it
filled at the drug store on the corner.
1t will only take few seconds"
The conductor did not wait.

At recent dinner given in honor of
a certain man of letters, Hamilton
Wright Mabie, who was one of the
speakers of the evening, said, in the
course of his remarks, that a pessi-
mist might be defined as a person who
has the choice between two evils and
selects both. says the New York Even
ing Sun. A Columbia student who hap
pened to attend the dinner sat the next
morning under Prof. Brander Mat
thews, who delivered a characteristic
lecture, with statistics, on everything
in general. During the lecture Mr.
Matthews remarked, with the air of a
man conscious of tossing off an origi-
nal jewel of epigrammatic WISDOM
You know, gentlemen, we may define
pessimist as a man who has the
choice between two evils and takes
both"
The student, who was certain that
Mr.. Matthews had not been present the
evening before, looked the professor up
at the conclusion of the lecture, say
irg:
Your definition of pessimist struck
me forcibly, but 1 heard Mr.. Mabie
give the same one last night"
rs that so?" replied Mr.. Matthews
sauvely. He forestalled me by half
day then. We both heard it from
Mark Twain two evenings ago.

Hard Man to XIII.

A Frankfort, Ind, dispatch to the
Cincinnati Enquirer says:
Milton Jones, a farmer, yesterday ac-
cidentally shot himself through the left
hand and left leg, and again broke all
known records of accidents.
Four years ago a team of horses ran
away and threw Jones in a creek,
knocking him senseless, and he was
taken out of the stream apparently
dead. He revived, however, and a few
months later was attacked by a mad
bull and frightfully gored. He re-
covered and little later while blow
ing stumps with dynamite, a premature
explosion blew him thirty feet He
escaped with only few bruises and
decorations. Then a horse kicked him,
breaking FIVE ribs and an ARM but a
few months put him in shape to climb
a tree for wild bee honey. He fell
and lodged in fork of the tree, where
he remined for three days and nights
until rescued. He managed to escape
further accidents until this harvest,
when, while helping a neighbor to
thrash, he was struck In the head by a
pitchfork, the tines penetrating his
skull. The surgeons said he would die,
but he recovered.
Yesterday Jones took his revolver to
do a little target shooting and it ac-
cidentally discharged, the ball blowing
through his hand and leg. Bets are
offered that he will recover.

THE RArE-oUrrING PROBLEM.

Notwithstanding the combinations
which have taken place between the
great railroads rate cutting continues.
According to testimony given before
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
now in session in Chicago, the evil is
So great that there is very general
complaint on the part of shippers.
1t seems that the evil is largely con-
fined to the rates on grain and flour
for shipment to Europe. The cutting
can be concealed on these shipments
better than on shipment to points in
this country, because the rates on for
eign freights are not published.
Rate cutting is a great evil 1t not
only Injuries the railroads. but also
shippers. The competition becomes so
keen that freights are carried at a
loss, and shippers are unable TO carry
on business satisfactorily and success
fully when there is lack of uniform
ity in rates-one shipper, simply be-
cause he does larger business, getting
lower rates than another. The railroads
have endeavored to get rid of the rate
cutting evil by combining. but it seems
that the combinations are not yet suf-
ficiently complete to accomplish the
object aimed at.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has been insisting for several
years that the only way to prevent
rate cutting was to give it the power
to make rates, and it is understood that
there will be an effort to so amend the
Cullom bill as to give it that power.
OF course the railroads will object, and
it is probable that they will have in
fluence enough to defeat the amend
nent. 1t is evident, however, that
something must be done for the pro-
lection of shippers. 1t is all wrong that
they should have their business ruined
by the rate cutting of the railroads.
If the railroads fail to get rid of
the evil by means of the combinations
which they are forming Congress will
have to yield to the pressure for relief
from the evil. 1t will either have to
give the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion power to make rates or permit the
railroads to pool their earnings. 1t isn't
just to the business interests to per-
NIT the present condition of affairs to

SAVANNAH DAY AT THE FAIR.

The attendance at the Fair yester-
day was way ahead of that of any
previous day. The grounds were
thronged, and when the races were in
progress the grand stand was crowded
and thousands watched the sport from
along the fences which bound the
track. And everybody seemed to be
having an enjoyable time. There is no
doubt about it, the Fair is the most
successful effort of the kind ever be-
fore seen in Georgia Indeed. 1t is the
opinion of good judges who have seen
other Georgia State Fairs that no
one of them approached 1T in com
pleteness. After one has seen the farm
exhibits-the grain. vegetables, grass
es, the cattle, and the poultry and the
hundred and one other things which
are to be found in the agricultural de-
partment of the Fair, there are the
re ces and the shows to COM
mand attention. One can spend
a whole day at the Fair and be inter-
ested every moment. Indeed there are
many who have visited it every day
and still find it attractive.
There is no doubt that the races are
the inviting features. The people of
this section have always been enthus-
iastic in respect to horses. There are
some of the best horses in the country
at the fair, and they are doing some
good running, trotting and pacing.
There are four more days of the Fair,
and if these days prove to be as good as
yesterday was from the standpoint of
attendance the financial showing will
not be so bad as il promised to be at
the close of last week. And
the Savannah people ought to
turn out and give the Fair
helping hand. They have the
credit OF having gotten up the best of
all the State Fairs and they ought now
to see to IL that it is given the sup
pert it deserves. To-day has been set
apart by the Fair management as Sa-
vannahs day. The stores will be closed
at II o'clock so that employees may
have a chance TO visit the Fair. If
there were 10000 at the Fair yesterday
there ought to be $4,000 to-day. we
ought to be able to say that Savannah
not only had the best of the State
Fairs. but that her Fair excelled them
all in the matter of attendance and
gate receipts. Let us make Savannah's
day big day.

THE BECKHAM-DURBIN CoNTRo-
VERSY.


There can be no doubt that many
of the leaders of the Republican party
sustain Gov. Durbin of IN
diana in the position he has taken
in the matter of the requisition of Gov.
| Beckham of Kentucky for Mr.. Taylor
! of the last named state. Mr.. Taylor.
| as is generally known, is a refugee
| from justice. He is one of those in
dicted for the assassination of Gov.
Goebel. At the time of the assassina-
| ton he was the Governor, the face Of
the election returns having shown that
he was elected. The count before the
Legislature, however, showed that Mr..
Goebel was elected, but before he was
inaugurated he was shot to death in
front of the state capitol. Mr.. Tay-
lor took refuge in Indiana, and the
Governor of that state has persistently
refused to give him up to the Ken
lucky authorities on the ground that
he cannot have a fair trial in the pres
ent condition of public sentiment in
that state.
In letter to Gov. Durbin, synopsis
of which was published in our dis
patches yesterday, Gov. Beckham Sc
verely arraigns that official for his re-
fusal to honor his requisition and
charges that his refusal amounts to a
violation of his oath of office to sup
port the constitution of the United
States, and that he has become a party
after the fact to the most Infamous
crime in the history of this state, the
cold blooded and dastardly murder of
a distinguished citizen of Kentucky"
This is hard language for one Gov
ernor to use to another, and yet the
facts in this case seem to warrant it,
Gov. Durbin undertakes to say
whether or not a person charged with
crime in Kentucky can have a fair
trial in that state. 1t is certainly no
affair of his whether Mr.. Taylor can
have a fair trial in Kentucky or not.
1t is not for him to pass upon the fit
ness of the courts of another state to
try a person charged with crime who
has taken refuge in Indiana when
demand is made upon him for the refu-
gee. If a Governor of a state had
such authority as that which Gov. Dur
bin is exercising person charged with
crime would be pretty safe from jus
tice in this country. He would only
have to escape into a state other than
that in which his alleged crime was
committed and claim that he could not
have a fair trial in the state where he
was wanted. If the Governor of the
state in which he had taken an asylum
chose to believe his plea he would be
safe from arrest and punishment.
Gov. Beckham announces his purpose
to have the entire matter carried be-
fore the United States Supreme Court.
That is the course he ought to pursue.
He ought not to let it rest where it
is. If such a precedent as that which
Gov. Durbin seeks to estab-
lish should be permitted to
stand 1t would soon come
about that few smart criminals would
ever be punished for their crimes. 1t
would amount to a check on the ad-
ministration Of justice. 1t is surprising
that there are leaders of the Repub-
lican party and Republican newspapers
which uphold Gov. Durbin in the course
| he is pursuing.
