The exploitation of copper mines in
Peru, through the investment of ten
millions of American money, is one
sort of reciprocity to which nobody can
object. The mines are said to be
among the richest in the world and
once opened and shipments of copper
begun, trade relations between the
United States and Peru are bound to
be strengthened. The ships that bring
copper to this country must carry
American merchandise to Peru and
reciprocity in trade, if not in trade
duties, win be the inevitable conse-
ouence.

The Montague and CapuIet incident,
anent which the Bard of Avon sang
one Of his sweetest, if one OF his sad
dest songs, is to find repetition in its
happier aspect in the prosaic life of
modern New York. Briefly. young
Frank Gould. son of the late amiable
gentleman who used to wreck rail-
roads for a pastime, and Miss Helen
Kelly, daughter of the late Commodore
Edward Kelly, are TO wed. The father
of the groom and the grandfather
of the bride-to-be fought as earnestly
on Change, with the modern weapons
of finance, as did the old Montagues
and Capulets with their knightly
blades. And now Cupid has cried a
truce over the graves Of two dead men.
1t is a story as pretty as the other;
may it have a happier ending.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd) says:
"Of what benefit to Booker Washing
ton and his work is this empty and
arduous round of banquets and parlor
functions? Wherein does it profit him
or the cause he has at heart that he
figures in Hartford or Boston drawing
rooms, sits at luxurious tables-even
that of the President himself-and
gives his time to what we call 80
ciety?" These people really see in him
nothing more than caprice. He has
become a fashion, a fad, with men
who have no more comprehension of
his real value to the country than they
have of the political conditions in
Saturn. They are merely putting him
on exhibition, clarifying themselves by
a patronage of one who is worth more
to humanity and civilization than any
dozen of them. And the end OF 1t can
be only the cancellation of Booker
Washington as a potent factor in the
social question. He and his race will
be the victims of this stupid and mis-
chievous folly. He win be shorn of
his usefulness and influence. He will
strut his little hour on the tinsel stage
and be cast away when the idle fancy
shall have run its course"

THE CITY EXTENSION.

The project of extending the city
limits is a movement in the right d.
rection, provided 1t is carried out in
the proper spirit; namely, to arrange
for the prosperity and growth of the
city, and not to squeeze tax money out
of corporations and individuals who do
business or reside just beyond the
present boundary lines. This feature
of the matter we have touched on be-
fore and we believe we have voiced
the sentiment of the people as we'll as
the city government respecting it. We
all want to see Savannah grow bigger
and better.
Another phase of the subject, and
one that is worth present careful at
tention, is the plan upon which the ex-
tended area should be laid out. We
are to build not only for the present,
but the future-a great future. 1t may
seem a long time to look ahead, but
provision should be made for the
growth of the city during the next fifty
years, or even hundred years. When
it is remembered that Savannah's pop
ulation has increased three-fold in
thirty years it is we'll to consider what
number of inhabitants it will have
thirty or sixty years hence; and, if the
ratio of increase is maintained, what
accommodations will have to be pro-
vided for housing the people and
providing them with the comforts and
conveniences of a modern and pro-
gressive city.
In planning the new part of the city
upon the best possible lines time with
have to be taken to study out the to-
biography of the land to be included,
where parks should be placed, where
lots should be reserved for school
houses, fire engine stations and other
public buildings. 1t is a bigger UNI
| deptaking than it looks at first glance
this laying out of practically a new
city around the old one, and 1t should
have careful and ample study.

4 GREAT RUG SEASON.

This Is great year for bugs. The flying boring bug" is the very latest This interesting and attractive insect has made its appearance in New York State. It is as large as bumblebee and has a long, dagger shaped bill, which it jabs into fruit trees, destroy ing the growth and ruining the fruit The flying boring bugs were first seen in northern Orange county, and cloud of them landed in many Westchester county townships. It has been found that a plague of the bugs will destroy whole grain field, and also damage lawns by boring into the clover tops
 And the humbug flourisheth peren- nially. No heat is too hot for 1t and no cold is too cold. The flying boring bug will live Its little day and go its little way, but the humbug hath all seasons for it's own.

blue-b and French modistes, but the traits of that giddy headed young lady.
 You can depend upon them to never neglect their persanal appearance, and unless all signs fail they will be as likely these days as even their neigh bors across the channel-much more likely than their fashionable sisters in America, if l am any judge-to ein- force nature by art both as regards the coiffure and, if need be, the com plexion. But if they thus care for themselves, so do they also in ever in- creasing measure care for others, and one must remember this in judging them. They have an eye for other compleXons than their own, and it will be through no lack of effort on the part of some of them if hereafter there shall not be more bloom, and more of na- tures bloom, on the cheeks of the Eng fish factory girl.

There Is progress of many kinds in | the new South. For instance, in the treatment of convicts in Louisiana. | The legislature of Louisiana In 1900 passed an act forbidding the leasing of convicts to private parties and provd- ing that they should remain constantly under the control of the State, to be
 employed In manufacturing, agricul- ture and In such public works as the construction of roads and leveeS. The
 manufacturing Is confined to the mak- ing of clothing and such other articles as are needed for the convicts, while the greatest number of the able-bodied
 prisoners are employed in agriculture and the building of public roads and levees. The State has purchased S,o00 acres of land in one body on the Miss issippi river, In West Feliciana parish, to be operated as cotton plantation, and 5000 acres in St. Mary parish, to be cultivated in sugar cane. Crops are now being cultivated on these planta- tions and everything is working smoothly. The control of the prisoners is entrusted to State commission, and every provision has been made for the health and comfort of the convicts.
 When convicts were leased in Louisi-
 \ ana there was constant wrong and trouble. The new system is wise and humane.

N---------------------- IN INTER ESTING COMPLAT INT.

Some of the Germans in Germany think there are too many foreign stu dents in the universities there and that the native students suffer from that fact. It appears that the names of more than 2,50O foreigners are on the books of the different institutions. Of these s55 are at Berlin, 370 at Leipsic 232 at Munich, 159 at Heidelberg, Al at Halle, 14O at Freiburg, and 102 at Goettingen. The Russians are most strongly represented with 717 students, the result, of course of the troubles in their own country. In addition to the Russians, there are 507 Austrians, 256 Swiss, 157 Englishmen. 323 Americans, 154 Asiatics (mostly from Japan), 6S Bulgarians, 50 Dutchmen, 47 French men, and 35 Turks. The complaint is made that 1t Is unjust that so many strangers should reap the benefit of the sacrifices made by the German States for the higher education of their youth.
 
 Professors declare that the majority of the foreign students lack preliminary training, and thus retard the progress of the classes in which they take part. German students protest that dispro- portionate share of the accommodation in the laboratories is occupied by for eigners, to the disadvantage of the na- tive students for whom it was primar- fly intended. The foreign students, moreover, being more or less ignorant of the German language. absorb large part of the time and the attention of the professors and their assistants. The native students of the Technical High School of Munich have signed a petition requesting that the question of the admission of foreign students be re- considered.

NOT LIKE TIM OLD TFM ES.

The Hon. David Mills, Canada's min- ister of justice, is much pained by the disappearance of the New Englanders of the old school He says that the New Englanders of the present day are upon the soil but not of it; that they dislike farming as much as their women eigners who have taken up their resi- dence in the New England States fields would not be cultivated or children born there. "A descendant of the Pill grim Fathers would be as rare as the great auk, and the race is sure to share the fate of the dodo." MT. Mills thinks that this decline presents a serious as we'll as a curious problem to the coun- try. There is, he says, something wrong with a people who under condi- tions so favorable have such small fam flies. And he makes this charge: The United States woman does not realize her duties to God and her country, and thinks more of her own pleasure than she does of the responsibilities which the Creator has imposed upon her" Then, applying the same logic to the whole country that he has to New Eng land, the Canadian statesman declares that if it were not for immigration our population would not increase.
 This is sad and the saddest part of 1t is that there Is some truth In it. But MT. Mills probably wouldn't like the Puritars If this country were full of them
