LOG ROLLING DISCOURAGED.

The Secretary of War thinks that
millions of dollars are appropriated in
every river and harbor bill for creeks
and bitches that are little better than
frog ponds-that, in fact, vast sums OF
the public money are annually wasted
in trying to improve rivers and har-
bors that are of no account to any
body. He has the New York idea in
regard to this matter, which is that
there is but one harbor which the
government ought to improve, and
that is the harbor of New York. 1t
is probable, however, that If he will
take the trouble to go over the rec
concentrations of the chief of engineers,
he will find that every river and har-
Dor recommends for Improvement has
more or less commercial Importance. 1t
is doubtless true that some of the riv-
ers and harbors which figure in the
recommendations are of very little
account. but the people who seek to be
benefited by their improvement think
they are.
If the secretary thinks that by cut
engineers he will keep the river and
harbor bill within reasonable bounds
he win find that he is mistaken. THE
members of the House make up that
bill. Pretty nearly every one of them
has an appropriation in it. If it were
not for the interest which the mem
bers have in it the bill would be de-
feated oftener than it is. 1t is safe
TO predict that the river and harbor
bill that will be framed by the next
River and Harbor Committee will be
fully as large as the one framed by
the last River and Harbor Committee,
The members of the last committee
have been through the West and to
the Pacific coast, and they will be
loaded with reasons for making large
apDrOpriations.

Out of his varied assortment of cam
ed one of which he will make much
use in his fight for reelection, which
is just beginning, says the Harrison
burg, ILL.,. correspondence of the st.
Louis Globe Democrat. He thinks ii ex-
actly covers his own case, and it re-
ceived such an applause when he told
it to an Egyptian audience recently
that he hopes his narration will help
mend his political fences materially.
The senator will use it as a "crusher'
for those who eriticise his record at
Washington since 1897.
when Henry Clay was running for
reelection ne struck a town in Ken
lucky where there were many former
friends who were opposed to some of
his votes in Congress, and for that rea-
son thought he should stay at home"
said Senator Mason in telling the story.
while making a speech in this neck
of the woods an old mountaineer, who
carried a rifle over his shoulder, inter-
rupted the meeting by roasting Clay
and bluntly telling him he had disap-
pointed his party and should retire
from public life.
Bill. that's a pretty old gun you
have there, said Clay to the old hun
ter, and you think lot of it, don't
your
" That's what do answered Clay's
critic, patting his long barreled squir-
rel rife.
Did she ever miss fire? asked Clay.
oh, maybe once or twice. replied
the hunter
Why don't you throw the old
shooting iron away, them persisted
Clay.
She's done me good service, even
If she has failed me once or twice, and
| think heap of the old gum, answer
ed the mountaineer.
Well, Bill, maybe Henry Clay has
made mistake and missed fire once
or twice, but don't you think you ought
to forgive him and remember what he
tried to do for your asked Clay, and
the mountaineer and his friends saw
the point at once and gave him not only
three cheers. but their votes at the
election.
Now" concluded Senator Mason
drearily, II think maybe the Illinois
Republicans will treat their senator as
the Kentuckians did Clay, and give him
another term"

A COSTLY POSSESSION.

Representative Hull, who has just
returned from a lengthy visit to the
Philippines, is enthusiastic about the
wealth of those islands and the oppor-
tunities they offer to enterprising men
to make fortunes. II we are not mis-
taken he has been somewhat severely
criticized for making investments
there, using the information gained in
his public position to guide him n
making them. Still, it is probable
there has been nothing very reprehen-
sible in his conduct.
The point, however we wish to call
attention to in Mr.. Hull's interview is,
that, in his opinion, it will require 49,
900 men to keep down instructions in
the islands-and that this number will
be required for many years. 1t is go
ing to cost the United States a pretty
penny to maintain order in the Philip
pines, even If there is no organized
insurrection in any part of them. Be-
sides an army of 10000 men there will
be thousands of officeholders in civil
life. The payroll for the Philippines,
therefore, will probably amount to mil
lions of dollars more than the revenues
of the islands.
1t is not clear yet that the benefits
which this country will derive from
the Philippine trade will be very great.
Spain will get the cream of the trade
for the next eight years, and after that
there will be struggle for the trade
between all of the commercial nations
of the world.
But there is no use of complaining
of the cost of the islands. We have
possession Of them, and there is no
question but that the possession will
be permanent. The islands will con-
tinue to figure in the politics of the
country for years. Indeed, they may
be the leading issue in the next presl-
Dental campaign. Political campaigns
will come and go, however, but the
Philippines will remain with US for
ever. To every plan for getting rid of
theme there seems to be an insur-
mountable objection.

A Common Mania.

You never can tell. No one sus-
pected for moment. But you never
can tell. The old gentleman was so
dignified. When he passed down Olive
street in the mornings they used to
say of him: II wonder who that
wealthy banker is?'' or, "I wonder
what brokerage firm he is connected
with?"
He was so dignified. He was so
immaculate. So precise.
But the germ is in the air. You
breathe and you swallow it.
Soon they began to observe on Olive
street, says the ST. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, the old gentleman was less dig
nified. What did he mean by rumpling
letters he took from his pockets and
making them into little spheres?
And then his camel The funny way
he began to manipulate it,
Up goes the paper sphere! Biff goes
the cane! Bang! goes the paper
sphere.
Every day the same old story. Bif!
then Bang!
Mental alteration? Nothing of the
kind
Simply baseball mania
He bats away all his correspondence
in this manner. He also maintains
batting average. Every miss is a
time at bait and striking the paper
sphere is a base hit. He is his own
official scorer. He is impartial. The
old gentleman really has a good eye"
and he is batting now we'll over the

it will be so much greater than that
OF any other South Atlantic city that

earnestly and tremendously for her

their efforts in her behalf in a way
that will leave them nothing of which

The Fools Prayer.

The royal feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to Danish
care,
And to his Jester cried, "sir Fool,
Kneel now and make for us a
prayer"
The jester DOTTED his cap and bells
And stood the hooking court before.
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
Upon the monarch's silken stool.
His pleading voice arose: "Oh, Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool.
"'Tis not by guilt the onward sweep
OF truth and right, oh. Lord, we
stay;
IT'S by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from heaven away.
"These clumsy feet, still in the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard, wellmeaning hands we
thrust
Among the heart-strings of friend.
1.-THE ill-timed truth we might have
Who knows how sharp it pierced and
stung?
The word we have not sense to say
Who knows how grandly 1t had rung?
"Our faults no tenderness should ask:
The Christening stripes must cleanse
them all;
But for our blunders-oh. in shame
Before the eyes of heaven we fall.
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the knave and scourge
the tool
That did their will; but thou, oh, Lord,
Be merciful to me, fool"
The room was hushed. In silence rose
The King and sought his gardens
cool,
And walked apart and murmured low,
God. be merciful to me, a fool"

NEGROES HERE TO STAY.

Bishop Turner of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church is not accom-
plishing anything by his persistent ad-
troubles in the South, his plan being
to send the negroes to Africa. He
ought to know, and probably does
know, that there are insurmountable
obstacles to the adoption of it. In the
first place only a small percentage of
negroes could be induced to go to At
rica, even if means for sending them
there were provided, and if they did
not want to go there is no way to
force them to go. In the second place,
the means for sending them there are
not at hand, and IT is doubtful If they
ships that could be spared from the
commerce of the world to be used in
carrying negroes to Africa is so small
that if the deportation plan were put
into operation there would hardly be
a perceptible decline in the increase in
the negro population. And it is prac-
tically certain that the government
would not undertake to build ships to
transport them to a foreign country,
particularly as there would be no as
surance that the negroes would emil
CRATE If the opportunity to do so were
offered them. But if they were will
ing to go to Africa, how long would
it take to transport them and what
would be the cost?
These are some of the questions
which Bishop Turner should undertake
to answer instead of reiterating his
belief that the only way of settling the
race question is to send the negroes
to Africa. He may be right in say
ing it is the only way, but that way
is not likely to command attention
until it is shown that it is practicable.
Bishop Turner should offer some facts
and figures showing that it is possible
to do what he proposes. Until he is
prepared to do that he will accom-
plish nothing by coming forward with
his plan for adjusting race troubles
every time these troubles receive special
attention from the newspapers. Just
now the public in all probability, re-
CARDS him as a man who is more anx-
ious to get himself quoted in the news
papers than to accomplish a practical
result
The New York Times. in comment \
ing upon Bishop Turner's plan the
other day, said: African migra-
ton is a delusion. The black is here
to stay until his vices, idleness, his
sloth, ana his incapacities shall so
weaken him and put him so far behind
in the struggle for existence that his
race will fade away. some centuries
hence. before the successful races by
which he is environed."
This suggestion of the Times that
the negro will disappear from the
country within the next two or three
centuries is not more comforting than
Bishop Turner's deportation plan. 1t
amounts practically to an admission
that no plan has yet been proposed for
the settlement of the race question
which commends the approval of the
Judgment of the people, and it is prob
able that no satisfactory plan will be
proposed until the relations between
the races become much more strained
than they are now.
