The steamship California sailed from

leans with 800 Porto Ricans, who are
on their way to Hawaii. The eniigrants
were amazed at the quarters provided
for them and the quality of the food
furnished. Governor Allen and Seere-
tary Hunt of Porto Rico inspected the
facilities on the steamship before she
was allowed to depart.

THE WORLD IN THEIR GRASP.

The big steel deal has been completed
The Carnegie Company exists now only
by courtesy. The men who control the
great steel combination which has just
been formed, have the world in their
grasp. Out of steel the cities of the flu
ture will be built, out of it the ships
and cars, by means of which the worlds
products are moved are constructed. Steel
is far more necessary than gold. and the
demand for it is increasing with wonder
full rapidity.
The United States have a monopoly of
steel production. This is because they
have the ore from which the steel Is
made and the coal with which to make It.
And in their mills steel can be made at
a less cost than elsewhere in the world.
That this is true is evident from the sur
prisingiy great Increase in our exports of
steel products
The value of these exports in 1880 was
only $l2.95 800. In 1900 It was $129 633, 4SO.
In twenty years the increase was about
S107 100000. What wiA be the value of
our annual exports of steel products
twenty years hence? If the increase
is as great as in the last twenty years
ana there is no reason why it should not
bottle export value of these products
Will reach $1,000 100000 year.
And this vast business Is now in the
hands of a few men-the men who have
purchased the Carnegie steel plant and
own most of the other steel producing
plants of the country. Is 1t too much 10
say that they have the world in their
grasp? Is it not almost certain that they
viii control the markets of the world for
steel products? Where are competitors
to be found? Surely not in Europe, where
the coal supply is showing signs Of ex-
haustion.
1t may be that rival steel plants may
be established in Asia or Africa, but,
if SO. it will be long years hence. AS
far as can be seen now the trust which
Morgan and his associates have created
win be more powerful than kings or en-
perors or governments-that is as long as
law and order prevail

THE CARTER CASE.

The case of former Capt. Carter has ex-
traordinary vitality. Is this because there
is money in 1t for lawyers or because It
possesses merit? There have been many
other cases in which officers of the army
have been convicted of offenses of one
kind and another, but it would be difficult.
If not impossible, to find another in which
the convicted officer was so unwilling to
accept as final the finding of the court
martial.
Mr.. Carter insists that he is innocent.
so but some of the assertions made in
his behalf are far from reasonable. For
instance. at Leavenworth. Kan. where
there was an application before United
States Judge Hook for bail for Mr.. Car
ter last week. there was a report circu-
lated that Mr.. Carriers only purpose in
wanting bail was to be free to answer
the indictment in the United States Court
at Savannah, and show his innocence.
According to this report, Capt. Gillette.
District Attorney Erwin and other civil
and military officials fear the exposures
of such a trial. and would. IL he We're
granted bail. have him arres ted, carried
to New York and held there until the de-
termination of the habeas corpus proceed
ings would make it necessary for him to
return to prison,
Could 1t be possible to conceive of
greater nonsense? Unless we are very
much mistaken, nothing would please
Capt. Gillette and District Attorney Err
win more than to have Mr.. Carter and
the contractors indicted with him before
the court here in Savannah. 1t is GER
tain that Mr.. Erwin has been making her
culean efforts to get the indicted contrac-
tors here. The way they are resisting
these efforts does not indicate that they
are anxious for a trial.
If they are not guilty Mr.. Carter is not,
and if they were to be acquitted on the
facts. it is almost certain that Mr. Car
ter would be pardoned at once. 1t would
seem, therefore, that Mr. Carriers attor-
neys. instead of wasting time in trying
to get d reversal of the verdict of the
court-martial, could serve their client bet
ter by using their influence to get the
accused contractors to answer the indict-
ment against them at Savannah.

MONEY MAKES THE MARE GO.

Birth and breeding count for little these
DAYS. Money is what the word worships.
The man who has it is sought and court
ed, although his merit may be but little.
Fridays New York papers contain long
accounts of a dinner and dance given by
James Henry Smith, a resident OF that
city. 1t was given at Sherry's, a wei
known and fashionable restaurant. The
guests were the best known people of
the metropois-the multi-millionaires apd
the members of the smart set. II is said
that the entertainment cost $4,000 and the
number of guests was not large
And who is James Henry Smith? \
very good fellow no doubt, and a worthy
man in every respect. But, from all &C
counts he was not a social lion year
or so ago. lie was a well-to-do bachelor
and stock broker who was a member Of
several good clubs and lived very quietly.
His uncle, close-hsted old Scotchman
who had made his money in the Western
states, and who had lived during his later
years in London. died and left him $780,,
O00C00., At once he became man of inn
portance in the eyes of those who have
the reputation Of leading society.
He was overwhelmed with invitations
to this and that function and society was
unwilling to be satisfied until it had this
quiet bachelor in its grasp. Now he is in
the swim for certain-not probably with
his entire consent-but because he could
not help himself His money made him
so attractive that a nearer view of him
was insisted upon. II his old uncle had
not made him his heir it is probable that
he would still be unknown outside of his
clubs and a few Wall street offices. Now
lie has his picture in the public prints
and columns are written about him and
his dinner and dance. Money makes the
mare so.

WHAT WE ARE READING.

There is food for thought In the annual
report of the lib ar.an of the Georgia His
torical Society for the year recent end
ed. If it is true that a community may be
judged by what 1t reads then the table
showing the character of the volumes
taken from the library during the y.ar
becomes of special interest. There We're
1887 visitors to the library as readers of
books. What these visitors actually read
cannot be told, but a record has been
kept of the S39S books taken out of the
library by members and it is fair to as
sumo that the percentages of the less r
number represent with a considerable de-
gree of accuracy the percentages of the
larger; that Is to say. the eighteen thous-
and visitors read pretty much the same
kinds of books as did the eight thousand
persons who carried volumes home with
them.
Savannah is known as a cultured city.
She has the most complete and beautiful
art academy south of Baltimore, in which
there are paintings and statuary that will
compare favorably with SINH ar works in
much more pretentious gal cries Never
theless, for every 1000 books taken out of
the library less than three were on the
subject of art, less than four treated of
the drama, and just a fraction more than
seven Of poetry. Does this Indicate a
loss Of appreciation for the fine arts? If
so, then not much else can be said of the
oloGy and literature. for only thirteen
out of thousand books taken out were
on religion, and only eighteen were on
literature. Science, too. is represented by
the small proportion OF fraction over

der the heading of light literature. Fol-

greatest number of readers: more maya

tive Of the best citizenship. We do not
know how the record compares with the
records OF similar organizations else
where. 1t may be that the trend Of the
times is towards light reading, and away
from subjects which require time and

come a very busy people. Our heads are
crammed with commercial matters all

A knack of His own.

When the father kept little hotel not
far from the Michigan Central depot he
told his troubles to several of his init
mate friends, says the Detroit Free
Press.
THAT boy of mine is a perfect Junk
head" he candidly admitted. He don't
know enough to carry in wood, and when
il comes to 'rithmetic, he don't know the
difference between multiplication and sub

much of a figure less it's on the hay
scales, but I'm going to do my duty by
him and take him out on farm and see
IL l can't put some gimp into him."
A few years later one of these conf
dental friends found the father running
an old-fashioned tavern not far from
Kalamazoo.
"Hello!" was the greeting. Last time
1 saw you you were going to take your
boy into the country to put some gimp
into him.
