The happiest days of Queen Victorias
Leopold at Claremont Soon after her mar
riage she was there again with the Prince
Consort and the little Princess Victoria;
and then Her Majesty wrote to King Leo

Members of the medical profession in
England have decided to erect a marble
statue of Dr. William Gilbert, the famous
physician to Queen Elizabeth, in a niche
in the main facade of the new Town Hall
at Colchester. the city in which he was
born, and where his remains are buried.
Already the sum of $50 has been con-
tributed, and as the minimum amount re-
quired is only $50, it will no doubt soon
be subscribed.
In all the expressions of feeling called
forth by the death of Queen Victoria few
things were more touching than the hon.
age of the poor. A wreath of violets and
pink anemones tied with purple rib
bon, was placed in the closter at Wind
sor, bearing this inscription: "Our dear
Queen-A humble offering from twenty-siX
children in Southwark. London" The
twenty-siX names are inscribed in childish
writing on the reverse side of the card.

THE 1oERs uARD PRESSED.

1t is almost impossible to form an opin-
ion respecting the situation in South At
RIGA that is worth anything. One day
it looks from the dispatches as if every
thing were in favor of the Beers and the
next day che announcement is made that
Gen. Kitchener will soon force the Beers
to surrender.
The latest reports are to the effect that
both DeWet and Botha are having a hard
time to escape capture, and that all the
indications now point to an ending of the
war about July /, with the complete tri-
umph of the British. There have been
reports similar to this several times, but
it always turned out that the writer's of
the British dispatches were too sanguine.
1t may be that DeWet and Botha are
struggling with great difficulties and that
they are almost on the point of surren-
dering, but the world will not believe that
they are in such desperate straits, I'M
less news to that effect comes in such
shape that there is no reason for doubt
ing it.
1t has been stated a number of times
that the Beers could easily hold out for
two years. Assuming that the statement
is correct, it does not appear 10 be rea-
sonable that the situation has undergone
such a radical change in two or three
weeks. as to justify the statement that
Gen. DeWet has been entrapped, and that
peace will be restored within four months.
OF course the Beers are fighting against
great odds, but they have the advantage
of knowing the country and being accli-
mated. Besides, they are fighting for in
dependence and their homes. Ii is but
natural under such circumstances thad
the Beers should suffer much less from
the diseases of the country than the
British.
The indications are of course that the
British viii triumph eventually Their
army in South Africa is more than ten
times as large as that of their foes. The
wonder is therefore that the Beers have
been able to continue the war so long A
people that have endured what they have
are not likely to be conquered within
very few days.

CHANDLER AS A REEOR MER.

Now that Senator Chandler will soon
be out of public life he is becoming
great reformer A few days ago he in
troduced a bill prohibiting corporations
from contributing money to be used in
elections. Now he is quoted as being I'm
favor of a rule in the Senate to shut off
debate-that is, to prevent the minority
from trying to defeat a bill by simply
talking against it.
! Mr.. Chandler has been in the Senate a
| long time, but it seems to have Just oc-
Cured to him that such a rule would
be good thing for the country Is it be-
cause the Democrats have talked Senator
Hanna's ship-subsidy bill to death that
Mr.. Chandler is so anxious to have a cule
that would enable the majority to take a
vote on a bill whenever it thinks enough
has been heard against 1T?
OF course Mr.. Hanna is very much put
out by the failure of his ship-subsidy bill
to pass. 1t seems to be quite generally
believed that he promised certain parties
who, last year, made large contributions
to the Republican campaign fund, that
they would lose nothing by being liberal
in giving the Republican party financial
help. This ship-subsidy bill is intend
ed, ii is asserted, to make that promise
good, though MIR. Hanna has said num-
Der of times on the floor of the Senate
and in interviews that the bill is in
tended for one purpose only, and that is
the promotion of the best interest of the
country.
II the Senate had a cloture rule Mr..
Hanna would be able to get a vote on his
bill, though, from all accounts, it would
be very difficult to get a majority for it.
A number of Republican senators are out
spoken against it. and there are others
who are glad that there is but little, IL
any, chance of a vote being taken on it.
| They are against it, but for party rea-
sons might vote for it. With Mr.. Roose-
welt in the chair and a cloture rule, the
! Republican majority would be in posi-
tion to put through any job for footing
! the treasury with ease and dispatch.

COMING TO THE STATE FAIR.

BulIoch county is going to take a promi-
nent place in the State Fair to be held
in this city next fall. Already prepara-
lions are going forward TO have the coun-
ty represented by large and fine eX-
hibit The Pioneer Agricultural Club held
meeting the other. day, and determined
to go to work for the fair at once. This
action practically assures first rate
showing by Bulloch county, since
the club numbers in its membership
many of the most progressive resi-
dents of the county. And they have
got good material to work upon.
The resources OF Builoch are very great
in agriculture, forestry, stock raising, etc.
BY illustrating these resources at the
State Fair, the attention of home seek
ers, investors and other developers Will
be directed to BulIoch, to the advantage
of the whole section. The county exhib-
il will prove to be in the nature of an in
vestment; and meanwhile it will be an
incentive to the farmers and others to
put forth their best efforts in order TO
produce exhibits worthy of the county
The Pioneer Agricultural Club is a public
spirited organization, and should receive
the enthusiastic encouragement and sup
port of all citizens.
And now, which will be the next South
Georgia county to fall into line with Bull
loch for the success of the fair? While
II is to be a State Fair, representing Geor-
gia as a whole, in the very nature of
things it will be more especially repre-
sentative of the southern section of the
state. Such fairs invariably draw most
of their exhibits from nearby territory.
For many years until last year North and
Middle Georgia had the State Fair. Last
year South Georgia showed, at Valdosta,
that she could get up as good an eXposi-
ton as the other parts of the state. Now,
this year, having secured the fair again,
it is within the power OF South Georgia
to demonstrate in a spirit of friendly
rivalry that she can actually go ahead of
the other sections. And that is what we
should try to do. We can do it, by going
to work in time, and working with
will.
One Of the most attractive features of
the Valdosta fair was the county eX-
hibits. We hope to see those exhibits
duplicated and bettered, at the Savannah
fair. Bunoch has led the way. Now,
will not Efingham, Emanuel, Liberty.
Bryan, Screven Mcintosh, Glynn, Brooks
and the others come along too and help
US to glorify South Georgia? 1t is desired
that every county from the Savannah to
the Chattahoochee shall have a place in
the picture And the present is not too
early to begin TO prepare for il.

NOT TO SHARE IN THE PROSPER


According to the New York Mail and
have recently been consolidated or be-
tween which a community of. interests
has been established, have agreed upon
an elaborate scheme for reducing ex-
penses. Thousands of employees are to be
discharged because there will be no need
for their services. As there will be no
competition there will be no need for
solicitors, and at most points there VIII
be but one agent for all of the roads. The
scheme also includes the taking off all
useless trains and the operating of the
roads according to the per ton" method
This will make it possible TO do without
the services of thousands of men whose
services are now absolutely necessary.
The saving that is to be effected by the
economical methods which have been
agreed upon will it is claimed amount
to many millions of dollars annually. But
what is to become of the men who will
be dismissed? 1t is expected of course
that they will find places elsewhere. But
If the new methods are generally adopted
there will be no places for them. It looks
therefore as If there would soon be thous-
ands Of men without employment, scat
tered throughout the country, through no
fault of their own. Naturally they will
begin to wonder why 1t is. II the country
is so prosperous the opportunities for
earning bread are less than when the cry
OF hard times was heard on every hand.

OUTLOOK FOR AN EXTRA SESSION.

/ There does not seem to be much dou 81
/ that there viii be an extra session of
/ Congress beginning as soon as the Cuban
constitutional convention has completed
/ its work The Republican leaders don't
want an extra session-at least the great
majority of them don't-because they don't
want 10 assume any part of the respon-
sibility for passing upon the Cuban con-
sttution. There is a grave doubt in the
minds of many of them as to whether
Congress has any right 10 review It. The
Teller resolution distinctly declares that
Cuba is a free and independent state. The
only purpose Congress would have in re-
viewing the constitution is to suggest and
insist upon such changes in it as would
give the United States certain rights
rights which would amount practically
to protectorate. To insist upon changes
would be tantamoUnt to a refusal TO adj
here to the Teller resolution.
But the same Republican leaders insist
that the United States shall have certain
ton that unless the United States are
granted sites for naval stations and are
given the right to supervise the islands
finances and treaties with European ma
tons, Cuba will be in danger from Euro
pean aggression, and in few years,
might be greater annoyance to the Uni
ted States than she was prior to the
Spanish-American war.
The President however, is not disposed
TO take the responsibility of accepting the
constitution as it comes from the Cuban
convention nor of requiring changes to be
made in it, il it should not prove to be
acceptable. That is the reason that he
has made up his mind that there must
be an extra session of Congress. He
takes the position that Congress brought
on the war by which the United States
were brought into their present relations
with Cuba, and he thinks It no more than
right that it should bear it's full share of
responsibility for the adjustment of these
relations. II he felt free to follow his own
inclination in the matter il is probable
there would be no extra session, because
it is almost certain if Congress were call
ed together the session would last well
into the summer, and other things than
the Cuban constitution would receive at
tention. Indeed there are those who in
sist that Senator Hanna is favoring an
extra session because he hopes he will
be able to get his ship-subsidy bill passed
There is no doubt that If the President
were willing to handle the questions in
connection with the Cuban constitution he
would not call Congress together, because
there are reasons for thinking that an
extra session would do the Republican
party harm rather than good. That party
is already losing ground with the people
because of its extravaganza in appropria-
tons.

or so of being censured by the home Leg
