Senatorial Wit.

Mr.. Towne's speech on the Philippine
question brought out passage at arms
between him and Senator Depew, which
has been widely circulated, says the Com
moncr.
The New York senator said: 81 con-
graduate you, Mr. Towne. Your delivery
was fine, your diction elegant and your
peroration superb, but your argument was
damnable." Il am delighted to know"
instantly replied the Senator from Mime
sofa, that you approve of the only fea-
lures of It you could comprehend"
This recalls an exchange of compliments
which is reported to have occurred be-
tween Senator Beck of Kentucky and SEN
ator Hoar Of Massachusetts,.
The former likened the Senator from
Massachusetts to a tract of land in Vir-
sinia described by Randolph as barren
by nature and impoverished by cultiva-
ton" The gentleman from the Bay State
awaited his opportunity and when fell
low senator, commenting on Mr.. Beck's
continuous speaking in the discussion of
a tariff bill, asked: when does his mind
rest?' replied, when he talks" Evil
IDENTIFY the Senate is not always prosy.

Senator Stewart lets the days go by
without even referring to the crime of
IS. says the Washington Post. 1t was
not always thus. In days not long
since Stewart talked silver from daylight
until dark-for breakfast, lunch. and din
ner. He preached free coinage as the
panacea for all ills.
One night when Stewart was thus sat-
urated with the silver idea he attended
a dinner party, where he was placed by
the side of a lovely young girl. Into her
ears the Senator poured his tale of silver
decentralization and the distress which It
had caused. Why" he said, 1.-The reason
handsome and attractive girls like your
self do not get married is that the gold
standard keeps men too poor"
Senator" said the girl. breaking into
the monologue with a twinkle in her eye,
II am engaged ito be married in three
weeks"

STREETS on THE INsTALLMENT
PLAN.

The instalment plan of paying for street
paving seems to be the solution Of the i'm
portant question OF how to have all OF
the streets improved without a too sud-
den and great strain upon property own
ers. 1t would, of course. require finan-
cioring and careful management of de-
tails to carry out the plan successfully
but that the city can be paved through
out without doing undue violence to the
pocket nerve of even the poorest prop
erty owner is no longer a question. Clean
brick pavements with good. sanitary
drainage mean cleanliness and healthi-
ness. These considerations in turn en-
courage the building of good ana substan-
tial houses. If all the streets could be
we'll paved, all the parks and squares inn
proved and beautified. and all the side
walks and curbings put into first-class
order. Savannah would be an ideal city,
and people would be contented to stay
here and spend their money at home.

it occurs that they leave because they

A bill introduced IN the House the other
day proposes that the Presidents cabinet
be Increased to forty-five members. Be-
sides the present secretaries it provides
that there shall be a secretary for each
of the following: Public labor, land.
transportation, communication. education,
elections, insurance, works. buildings,
farms, fisheries, mines, manufactures,
merchandise, forests, fluids, roads, meth
DDS, measures, science. inventions, sur
veying, printing, periodicals., documents,
statistics, records. fairs, libraries, lectures.
amusements, comfort, health, hotels,
baths, laundries, warehouses, banks and
penitentiaries. For some unaccountable
reason public kitchens, sculleries. boot
black stands and barber shops are not to
be recognized" in the makeup of this
new cabinet. The oversight is fatal.
The bill cannot be passed. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that the bill was pro-
posed by a Populst-Mr. Ridgely, of Kan
sas, who leaves Congress on the third
day Of next month.

FAXORITES OF EORTUNE.

The richest men in this country did not
inherit money They began with little or
nothing. and have accumulated their
wealth within the last thirty or forty
years. Some of them were poor men as
late as twenty years, or even ten years,
ago. There are those who are saying
that the time for making great fortunes
is past. The same thing was being said
by hundreds and thousands a generation
ago. Yet the greatest fortunes have been
made since then.
Just now the whole wor9d is wondering
at the fortunes of the men in the great
steel deal--a deal involving a thousand
million dollars. Mr.. Carnegie is not yet
s. years old, ana is credited with having
5000. 600 600. Mr.. Rockefeller is still in his
prime. and it is the understanding that
his fortune is greater than that of Mr..
Carnegie. Mr.. Morgan is estimated at
000C0,000, and the probability is that he
has a great deal more than that. Mr..
Frick who is about 50 years of age, has
something like $50, 100000 ard Mr. Schwab,
who is forty-two, has, it is said, $4,000
900. and salary of SIS 600 year as pres
ldent of the Steel Trust. These are only
the prominent figures in the steel comLi-
nation. There are others who are many
times nlillionaires. And about all of
them have accumulated their fortunes.
But one of the most remarkable mill
ionaires in the country is John A. Blunt
ing. Ten years ago he was keeper of
water tank at Tucson. Arizona. He was
promoted until he got to be a brakeman
on a freight train. During the time he
was keeper of a water tank he loaned a
friend Sl70 and took as security a watch
and a mortgage on forty acres of land in
Kern county, California. The money
wasn't paid when it was due. and the
mortgage was foreclosed. Bunting had
to buy the land because nobody else want
ed it, He tried to sell it on several occa-
sions, but could not yet anything for It,
So he paid the taxes and kept it. A few
months ago oil was struck near the land
and Bunting resigned his place on the
railroad and drew his savings from the
bank with the view of finding out
whether or not there was Gil on his land.
Last week he walked into the Office
of the general manager of the road on
which he had been a brakeman and sent
in his card. The general manager sent
out word that he had no place for him.
supposing that he was seeking his oh
place as brakeman. He sent back word
that he did not want a place. but wanted
to get the company to build a private
car for him. And he gave an order for
a private car that is to cost $4,000 His
forty acres of land has made him mil
lionaire. and he proposes to spend some
of his money in riding about the coun-
try in car Of his own. Is there any
thing more wonderful in the Arabian
Nights" than some of the stories OF the
sudden rise to fortune in this country OF
men of this day and generation?

For fool suggestions for legislation, a
certain sta1esmanain the Indiana General
Assembly deserves a leather medal. He
has introduced bin which stipulates
that it shall be lawful to smash saloons
in that state, provided the smashers do
not operate in parties larger than twelve.
A fitting rider on the bin would be a
proviso that lynchlng should be lawful
when twelve or more persons committed
the act.

Tho number Of lynchings in the United
States last year was the smallest in ten
years. In 1891 the number was 1872, and
last year IL was l01. High-water mark
was reached in 1892, when there were 2S5
lynchings in the country. Considering
the fact that there were 100000 more
people in the United States in 1900 than
IN 1890, this would seem to show that the
ana-lynchins agitation had been produc-
i've Of some good.

his usual mistake during the heated de-
bate in the Hou e Of Representa- YES We'd

that American soldiers in the Philippines
are justified in deserving, the Ohio wild
man Is not supported by Democratic SEN
timent. 1t is not the business of a sol
der to question his orders. 1t is the
business of a free people to see to it that
the soldiers under it's flag shall be em-
ployed only in just causes; but If the peo-
pie support an unjust cause, the soldier
has nothing to do but follow his flag I'M
