4 STRANGE COINCIDENCE.


Just on the eve of the trial before
the United States Supreme Court of
the Porto Ricsn question, President
Mckinley appointed the son of JUS
tice Harlan to be attorney general
of that island. 1t is admitted that
the president is very ANXIOUS to have
a decision favorable to this policy.
\ Some one has described young
Harlan's appointment just at this
particular moment as a mere coinci
dence.
Now, it is but proper to say tina,
Justice Harlan is an honest man and
would not be Influenced by the APP
pointment of his son to position
which may depend upon his inter
probation of the constitution.
But to say the least, it seems
strange that the president should
have singled out young Mr.. Harlan
from among thousands of eminent
lawyers, equally qualified to fill the
office.
The high character of the grea,
tribunal should be above suspicion.
Americans love TO refer to the abil-
ity and incoIruptlbility of the So
preme court, which is justly entitled
to the confidence of the nation. Blu,
the question is, how long will it con-
tinue to enjoy the respect of the
masses if the president himself in
vi1es suspicion to it by ignoring the
rules of common decency which
should be observed by cit,zens in
the ordinary relations of life?
The preside,.s no doubt knew tina,
such an act on his pat would Occa
sion ugly criticisms OF the court in
tue event of decision UNFOLDING
the policy Of the administration 1t
is, therefore,, clearly evident that he
cares very little for the good name
of the court.

Roosevelt, our vice-president
elect, is making another bloody
record for himself. This time 1t
isn't Spaniards he is after. He is
securing the Rockies for mountain
lions and other beasts Of the for
ests- Roosevelt believes in 'stren-
uous life" and the character of his
victims is of no consequence to him.
His recent exploits in Colorado
stamp him as fierce and fearless
extermlnator Of mountain lions,
bears, wild cats and any and every
thing that lives. He has not yet
attacked any windmills, but these
historic foes of knight errantry will
hardly escape the attention of this

What lot of hypocr1tes are the
Americans! They declare war against
Spain professedly to give independ-
ence to the Cubans, yet they send an
army to subjugate the Philippines.
They pirate of their love for liberty,
but send ship loads of horses to be
used by the British army in the OPP
preston of a gallant people fighting
for self-government. The conduct
of the American nation is surely not
calculated to inspire the youth Of
the country with respect for, and
been selected to carry out the grand
principles enunciated by the fathers
of the republic.

Better without The Flag!

houston fOSt
Some Of those "commercial ex-
pansionists" who are protesting to
see a great thing for this country in
the forcible conquest of the Philip
pine. islands, where our total foreign
trade is infinitesirnal comparatively,
and will remain SO for the next
twenty years i" the very nature of
things, ought to look while in
other directions and ascertain where
our commercial interests really lie
and where our commercial progress
is greatest.
We are making the greatest head
way, in short, where the trade goes
without the flag. In the Orient the
most remark able increase has been
with japan, nearer to us than the
Philippines, and in no way Con-
nected With our occupancy of the
latter. In Europe, leaving out our
largest customers, the British, our
"commercIal expansion" has been
greatest with Germany, although
there has been an active hostility
toward our exports among the Ger
mans.
The less than a dozen millions of
total trade with the Philippines,
notwithstanding our expenditure of
500, 100000 year over there for
purposes of conquest, fades into
insignificance by the side of the
S17o, 900, 900 of exports to Ger
many during the eleven months of
last year ending with December I.
In 1895 our total exports to Ger
many were S7e, 56s,5o4. Five years
afteward they had increased to the
extent of just about an even $780,
100000, being s17o,134, 400. And
the largest item in the list was cot
ton, our Southern cotton, which in
creased more than 100 per cent or
from $4,000. 900 in 1895 to $685.
100000 in 1900. This is nut for
some of our Southern .sexpansion-
lists" to crack.
1t cost not a dollar for either SOL
diers or naval account to secure
this "expansion" in Germany. 1t
has not cost dollar for military or
naval operations to almost double
our trade with Japan and China In
the same time. And yet some Peo-
pie have the impudence or the stu
pidity to tell us that we must go
1000 miles beyond japan, and at 2
sacrifice of thousands of men, Of
hundreds of millions of money anG
our best National traditions, seize
a trade of a few millions in order
to give us s'door to Japan ana
China" and promote our ''commer-
cial expanslon!"

Despite the fact that the German
emperor's visit to the death bed of the
queen of England has been the sub
ject of favorable comment through
out the world, there are many plain
people in this country who fail to
see anything particularly startling
because man has gone to see his
dying grandma Their. Empernrs and
queens are only human, after all.
Crowley is much perturbed be-
cause the Southern Pacific is offer
ing inducements to the Crowley1tes
to visit the rice lands in Texas. 1t
strikes US that Crowley is unneces-
sar1ly alarmed, for surely that town s

sound foundation as to be injuri-
ously affected by cheap excursion
rates. The people Of Lafayette could
not be induced to emigrate by a
thousand excursions to Texas OF

WANTS ST. JAMES SQUARE.
Salvation Army Would Like 10 Erect
Gospel Tent There.

The Salvation Army wants to set up a
place of worship in one of the public
square of the city, following the exam
pie of those who established the Taber-
nacle in the Park Extension. The Sal
walton Army does not want to build its
house to God in the Park Extension,
however, but would be content with St
James Square, which is that upon which
Trinity Methodist Church fronts.
A delegation from the Army called on
the Mayor and asked for permission to
erect a gospel tent in the square. He
referred them to the City Council. say
ing that he could give no permission.
The Army, therefore. through its attor-
neys, Harrison & Myrick, has petitioned
that body for the right to establish its
tent.
1t is set forth In the petition that II is
desired to maintain the tent in the square
from June l until Oct. !. If the drums
that are used in the service should dis
turb the congregation of Trinity Church,
the petition further sets forth that por-
ton of the musical accompaniment to
the Army's methods of worshiping God
could be abandoned when there might be
a conflict of services.
The Mayor was asked yesterday IL he
thought permission would be granted for
the use of the square. He declined to say,
remarking that he would let Council give
the first expression as to what it would
do

We take pleasure in announcing that,
by recent action of our board of directors,
our New York Office has been abolished
and Savannah once more becomes, as she
is entitled to rank, the headquarters for
all business pertaining to the old relia-
BILE Ludden & Bates Southern Music
House, which, as is well known, has
placed in Southern homes, upward Of 49,
900 pianos and organs since 1870. and which
proposes to double that quantity in the
same number of years to come. At a
recent meeting of stockholders the follow
ing entire new board of officers were
elected to manage the affairs Of this
company: H. S. Parmelee, president; F.
S. Parmelee, vice president; c. G. Buck
ingham secretary and treasurer-men of
brains, who by reason of long experience
as manufacturers, and in handling large
business interests, are fully competent to
manage successfully everything they I'M
dertake, and by the infusion of new life,
together with almost unlimited capital
and enterprise, be prepared to cater TO
the wants of the public even to better
advantage than has ever heretofore been
possible.
AS we are now constituted actual piano
llldIluldClui6IS, we Cdi give pdLEOHlS
] the benefit by furnishing strictly first
Class instruments at lowest possible prices
for cash or upon accommodating terms.
We shall continue to handle the Stein
way, Mathushek and Ludden & Bates
pianos-Mason & Hamlin and Sterling or
gans, all of which are well ada pied for
use in the trying climate of the Southern
states, which by the way is known to
be so severe upon musical instruments
that very few makes will stand success
fully its peculiar atmospheric conditions.
For the past thirty years Ludden &
Bates Southern Music House has been
the synonym of all that is best in the
piano and organ trade in the South, and
in the future as in the past, we propose
by fair dealings to all, and by carrying
absolutely the best line of instruments
made, to not only retain our old friends
and customers. but to make new ones.
Aside from the very important changes
above mentioned, the business will con-
tinue as of old. and all orders, payments
remittances, ETC., should continue to be
sent to us as heretofore. Ludden s.

SHOT AIMED TO KILL.
Bullet Missed Intended Victim and
Nearly Killed a Woman.

Nearly Killed a Woman.
George Brooks, colored, was arrested
last night by Detective Murphy and is
held at the police station on a charge Of
assault with intent to murder. The pros
ecutor is William kaufman, also colored
and according TO the statements made by
witnesses his call was a close one.
Brooks fired at kaufman on West
Broad and Harrison streets at an early
hour yesterday morning and the bullet
only missed its intended victim a few
feet. 1t passed through the clothing of
Laura Green and grazed the abdomen
The woman was badly frightened and dur
ing the excitement Brooks made his escape.
The shooting was reported at police head
quarters and Brooks was located near the
city market last night
1t appears that a woman was the real
cause of the trouble, and that with blood
in his eye Brooks made up his mind to
put his rival out of this world The
prisoner will be given a preliminary ex-
animation by Recorder Myrick in Police
