MISS STONE STILL A PRISONER.

It would be interesting to know Just
what the facts are concerning the ef-
forts to secure the release of Miss
Stone, the missionary who was cap
tured by Bulgarian brigands. One day
there is an account that the ransom
is to be paid at once, and another day
it is stated that the brigands will &C
cept nothing less than the amount they
originally demanded. In the dispatches
Wednesday il was announced that Mr..
Dickinson, the American diplomatic
agent at Sofia, having located Miss
Stone in defle of the mountains, had
called upon the Bulgarian government
to send troops to rescue her, believing
that under no circumstances would her
captors harm her.
1t is pretty nearly three months since
Miss Stone was captured, and negotia-
tions have been going on all the time
for her release. A great number and
variety of stories have been told as to
the character of the men who cap
tured her 1t has been stated that
they are professional brigands, patri-
OTIS, farmers who embarked in the
scheme to capture her for the sake of
the ransom they might get, and some
Of the accounts have intimated that
they are Turkish soldiers. AS a matter
Of fact very little that is reliable seems
to be known about the affair. The
only thing that is certain is that since
Miss Stones capture on Sept. 2 the
papers have contained dispatches al
most daily bearing upon some phase of
her case.
1t seems that Miss Stone is well
known in Sofia, in fact, in all of the
Balkan provinces. having been a mis-
sionary in that section of the world for
many years. Her residence is in Sa-
lonica, and at the time of her capture
she was on her way, with quite a large
party, from Bansko in Bulgaria to Di-
umar!a in Turkey. In fact, she had
crossed the border into Turkey. The
fact that she was captured in Turkey
led to the talk that it was the purpose
of our government to hold the Sultans
government responsible for the cap
ture and detention of Miss Stone. In
deed, according to statements which
have appeared in the public prints. our
government has assumed a very ag-
gressive tone in what it has said to
both the Turkish government and that
of Bulgaria, in regard to the outrage.
1t is probable that the bandits
thought the ransom they asked would
be paid promptly. There has been so
much delay, however and the Turkish
and the Bulgarian governments are
showing so much activity in respect to
the matter, that it is probable that the
bandits are becoming alarmed. In that
case it is not improbable that Miss
Stone will be released without the pay
ment of an excessive ransom. In fact
she may be returned to her friends
without the payment OF any ransom.

1t is a bit surprising how little the
average Northern newspaper knows of
the geography of the South, however
well informed it may be otherwise.
For instance the Philadelphia North
American, printing a story about the
coastwise trip to Florida of the Edi-
son party in a small launch says: "Af-
ter leaving Charleston the only really
dangerous part of the journey will
commence. For about fifty miles, from
Charleston to Sapelo, the party will
have to take it's chances on the broad
Atlantic. From Sapelo, however. there
will be another long stretch through
Georgia and Florida waters" The lit
tie craft, it will be remembered, is
coming down by the inside route"
That route. to the northward, is bro
ken at Wrightsville Sound, near Will
mington, N. C., and picked up again at
Georgetown, S. c. 1t is between these
two points that the party must put to
sea. From Georgetown southwark to
Charleston, through Mosquito creek ca
nal and Bulls Bay, there is an inside
route and smooth water, and from
Charleston south to Florida by way of
Tybee there is an excellent inland wa
terway over which a considerable COM
merce is carried. The distance from
Charleston to Sapelo. too, is much near
er 12e miles than 50 miles. 1t would
be an act Of wisdom on the part of
Congress to perfect the inside route be-
tween the North and the South by
cutting canal that would connect the
headwaters of the Waccamaw river
with the Cape Fear river near Will
mington. That would make the route
continuous and perfectly safe to small
craft.

President a story Teller.

The cabinet has a new rule of pro-
cedure, says the Washington CORE
spondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch. 1t
used to be the law that when that
illustrious body assembled at II o'clock
on Tuesday and Friday mornings bust
ness should be taken up at once. But
that is not the practice now. Instead
of getting to work at once on the sup
posedly great questions of state, the
President takes from fifteen to twenty
five minutes to tell his advisers the ex-
periences he has had with the gentle
men who have been giving him hot
air" about offices and schemes they
want him to recommend to Congress.
The President is a good narrator and,
therefore, the first half hour is unusu-
ally interesting. He doesn't tell stories
to illustrate a point he is making, as
Lincoln did, but tells everything that
has been happening that has impressed
itself upon his mind. His sense of hui
NOR is good and the humorous side OF
the pictures that pass before him is
not overlooked.

The value of the volunteer soldiers
of the state as protectors of the COM
monwealth and preservers of the peace
is too well known to need discussion.
They have not only given their time
and risked their lives in serving the
state-that is, their fellow citizens
but have provided arInories and all in
cidentals appertaining to the mainten-
ance of the military organizations at
their own expense. Without this or
ganized body of citizen soldiers the
laws, in some instances, could not
be enforced. 1t is not alone moral
support which a well organized and
disciplined soldiery gives the law;
sometimes the soldiers are called upon,
when prompt action means much, to
give physical force to the civil estab-
lishment. The unfailing promptness
of the military to respond to calls made
by those in authority should make
every one willing and ready to con-
tribute to the support of the volunteer
militia. As il is. the individuals who
perform the services referred to and
the members of the communities in
which the organizations have their
headquarters. bear the burden of pro-
viding and maintaining this bulwark
of the states defense. 1t is the duty
of the State TO contribute. out of the
general fund coming from the people.
TO the support Of the militia as a re-
turn for the defense which the state
enjoys. II Is hardly conceivable that
any right thinking body OF men would
hesitate a moment in providing for and
encouraging our volunteers by a lib
eral appropriation towards their ex-
penEcs.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Discussing the anti-anarchy bill in
the Georgia Legislature, the Charles
ton News and Courier (Dem.) says:
TT is reassuring to be told that the
Georgia bill defines the offense in ques-
ton so clearly as to avoid trouble on
this score, but that is not the point
we wished to submit to the over-the-
river legislators. 1t is rather that they
had better let this matter alone. 1t is
not good to put notions into peoples
heads by unnecessary legislation. AS
soon as there is law in Georgia
against anarchy some man or men will
be moved to break it. and possibly
some of the societies in New Jersey
or Ohio will be impelled to organize
branches in Georgia, where they have
never been thought of before. More
over, il is not we'll for the Legislature
of any state to go off half cooked An
archy has a very small foothold in this
country. Only one President has been
killed by anarchists so farm hum
bred years. If there must be legis-
lation against lawless killings in our
part of the world, let it take the form
of more effective laws against lynch
ings and other murders. There are
thousands of such affairs among us
every year, and all the crimes of all

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
(Ind.) says: Georgia cotton manufac-
turers individually denounce child
labor, like those in Alabama, and, like
the latter also, they oppose child labor
legislation. The bill now pending in
the Georgia Legislature follows the
resolutions of the mill-owners adopted
last summer-prohibiting employment
of all children under 10 years. of all
children under II whose parents are
not INDECENT. and of all children under
IA unless they can read and write.
Nevertheless. this bill is meeting with
strong opposition, which can only
come from the mill-owners. They seem
TO resemble that Massachusetts treas
urer of the Alabama cotton mill, who
denounced child labor as an unmiti-
gated evil without the merit OF being
economical, and then permitted his

SAVANNAH HARBOR IMPRovEMENT.

Representative Burton, Chairman of
the River and Harbor Committees, is
satisfied that a river and harbor bill
will be passed at the coming session
of Congress. but he expects there will
be some difficulty in passing it, for
two reasons. One is the amount it
will carry, and the other is the diff
Guilty in harmonizing conflicting inter-
ests. He says that the demands for
appropriations for new improvements
are going to be very great, and that
the refusal of these demands will make
enemies for the bill.
The Committee, he says. feels bet
ter qualified TO frame the river and
harbor bill since its trip to the Pa
cific coast last summer than it was
before that trip, but it is it's purpose
to visit some sections in the South
before the bill is completed.
OF course it is impossible to say
what amount the bill is likely to carry,
but Mr.. Burton says that it will be
considerably greater than the amount
of the bill that was framed at the
last session, and was talked to death
by Senator Carter. That bill, how
ever, will be the basis of the new bill.
Some of it's items will be stricken out
altogether and others will be increased
OF course new items will be added.
Savannah is profoundly interested in
the bill that is to be framed this VIM
ter The bill that was defeated last
winter carried a large appropriation
for the deepening of Savannah harbor
to 2S feet, and it is expected that the
new bill will contain an appropriation
for that work. The Importance of the
bill to Savannah cannot therefore be
overestimated. .
There is no reason to doubt that
Savannah will get the appropriation.
Representative Lester occupies prom
inent place on the River and Harbor
Committee, besides being a very influ-
entail member of it. The fact also
that the bill of last year carried an
appropriation for this work justifies
the conclusion that there will be no
serious opposition to giving to Savan-
nah an improvement which her grow
ing commerce demands.
