DEMOCRATIC FREE BEER.
Many saloons Open and the Faithful
Rewarded.

Judging from the amount of free beer
which was given away in this city yes
terday in the interest of the Democratic
candidate for mayor it is apparent that the
Democratic managers have come to the
conclusion that they have no time TO waste
in a respectful observance of the Sabbath
day.
The saloons were wide open i'm nearly
every ward in the city and beer could be

IN THE MATTER OF NAMES.

1t is rather unusual for a man to
work hard for years and make his
name famous and then deliberately set
about to change that name. That is
what Ernest Seton Thompson has done.
AS about every magazine reader and
animal lover is aware, he is one of the
best known and most charming writers
on and painters of animal life in this
country. His "Wahb" and other sto-
ries are known in tens of thousands of
households, where young and old have
enjoyed equally the quaint narratives
and the faithful pictures by the au-
thor. But Mr.. Seton-Thompson is no
more. In his place we have Mr. Ernest
Thompson Seton, by the grace of the
court of New York county over which
Judge Bischoff presides. The decree
of the court was published a few days
ago. The public is vouchsafed no rea-
son for the change of name. 1t pleased
Mr.. Seton to make it, and he was able
to convince the court that he had rea-
son enough. And that is all the law
requires.
Mr.. Seton's case, however, is not
without precedent. Voltaire began life
as Arouet and failed even to ask per-
mission of any authority to make a
change when he got tired of the old
name. But we have another and still
more interesting example. 1t is nearer
home to us, also. and will be recalled,
no doubt, by many who read this ar
ticle Some years ago Florida had a
delegate in Congress of the name
of David Levy, a man of such brain
and force of character that he quickly
won recognition. For four years he
served in Congress under that name,
all the while adding to his reputation.
One day, in a most perfunctory man
ner, Mr.. Levy arose in his place an an
nounced to his colleagues that whereas
his name had Heretofore been Levy it
was thereafter and by permission of
the court to be Yulee, for reasons en-
tirely satisfactory to himself. And that
was all Congress ever learned of the
matter. AS Senator Yulee he after
wards served his state twelve years in
the federal Senate, and made that
name better known than the one he
had borne before. His services in
building up Florida are almost a part
of local history. owing to, his promi-
nent connection with the old Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad.

A GREAT ENTERPRISE.

We have printed from several sources
during the past few days stories relat-
ing to the coming of a great English
syndicate into South Georgia for the
purpose of engaging in the business OF
producing, packing and handling farm
products for shipment to. England. one
story had il that Sir Thomas Upton
was interested in the scheme, and two
or more that a line Of ships between
Savannah and Liverpool was part Of
the plan. Options, it is said, have been
secured on 100000 acres of land in
South Georgia, and more lands are
wanted.
We sincerely hope there is a basis of
fact for all of the stories, as such a
scheme carried out would mean much
for Savannah and the whole of the Sec
ton involved. And why should it not
be practicable? Sir Thomas Upton is
operating tea plantations in Ceylon and
India. If he can make them profita-
BILE, why could it not be made profita-
BILE for an English syndicate to operate
truck and fruit farms and canneries
in South Georgia? In this section rich
lands are available at low cost, and the
labor is abundant at a very reasonable
figure. 1t ought to be possible to en-
gage in syndicate farming or canning
in South Georgia upon less expensive
basis than in any other section of the
country. Our climate practically as
sures crop for every planting, and by
'judicious management many farmers
gather two or more crops from the
same land per year. Our transporta-
ton facilities are excellent, making it
easy for produce to be handled between
farms and canneries and ships, as is
said to be the purpose of the syndi-
cate. A direct and fast line of steam
ers between this port and Liverpool
would no doubt be able to secure other
freights than the syndicate's farm
products, if that were deemed desira-
BILE to have them.
We have no means of knowing what
there is in all of this talk to which we
refer, of course. There may be some-
thing, or nothing. But the idea does
not appear to be unreasonable. Eng
land is now taking great quantities of
truck" and other food products, in
cans and otherwise, from without her
own territory. Why should there not
be profit in supplying the demand from
this section of the South?

A CoNDUCTOR TO Each CAR.

The day of freak legislation is not
Of two bills introduced in the General
Assembly on Wednesday by Senator
Wilcox, read the first time and referred
to their appropriate committee. The
Morning News is stin optimistic
enough to believe, even with the recol-
lection of severe jolts to its optimism
received at the hands of former legisla-
lures, that these bills win never sue
coed in passing both houses and re-
ceiving the signature of the Governor
Their full significance can only be
realized when they are considered to-
gether. One of them makes it unlaw-
full for any railroad company to run
regular train as an excursion train,
while the other imposes a penalty upon
any railroad company that runs an eX-
cursion train, without conductor for
every car. Beside the combined wis
dom of these two measures, the best
efforts of the Kansas Legislature, in
the days when it tried the souls of the
citizens of that state whose heads sat
level on their shoulders, pale into an
inconspicuous insignitlcance.
Think of it. No regular train is TO
be run as an excursion train, which
means, if it means anything, that spe-
cial excursion rates shall not be per-
mitted ON trains regularly scheduled
and making regular trips between
points on the line. Think again. No
excursion train is to be run. unless
there is a conductor for every car.
There is hardly anything that can
be said about legislation like this, that
is at all adequate to the case. Excur-
sions to Tybee, unless the officials of
the Central Railway should become
suddenly afflicted with softening of the
brain, would be thing of the past,
for who can imagine one being run,
with a conductor on every car-flf-
teen or more coaches and a conductor
collecting tickets and fares in every
one of them; the excursion trains rum
ming both ways between Savannah and
Tybee, and thirty conductors at least
in the company's employ for that short
division.
We think too much of the Legislature
to entertain the fear that these bills will
be considered seriously. 1t is to be
hoped they will die a painless death in
committee, which is the best fate that
could befaI them. But when these and
other bills are even introduced 1t
strengthens US in the long-cherished
and deep-rooted conviction that bien-
NAL sessions of the Legislature would
be a great thing for the state of Geor-
! gia.

SAMPSON HAD no BE IN 1T.

One of the most interesting facts adj
duced by the Naval Court of Inquiry
came out at the flag end of Rear Adj
miraI Schley's testimony. During all
of the time he was on the stand Ad-
miral Schley scrupulously RETAINED
from rejecting upon the integrity or
good faith of any officer of the service.
Whenever there was testimony adverse
to his interests he preferred to believe
the deponent was honestly mistaken,
giving him always the benefit of the
doubt And he had nothing to say
against Rear Admiral Sampson, al
ways mentioning that officers name
with respect and the Difference due
commander n-chief. But towards the
conclusion of Admiral Schley's story
it was developed that Admiral Samp-
son had declined to receive the first
report of the battle of Santiago writ
ten by Admiral Schley. Why? The
first report had not mentioned the pres
ence of the flagship New York and the
COMMUNICATIVE Chief. And why was
that? Simply because they were not
there. Schley was writing history as
it had actually occurred; and Sampson
did not arrive upon the scene until the
fighting was all over and the last of
the Spanish ships had hauled down
her flag and gone ashore.
When Sampson declined to receive
Schley's original report-which has
never been published by the Navy De-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS it did not give him
prominent place in the picture, Schley
magnanimously wrote another report
in which the New York and Sampson
were included. Il felt that the victory
was big enough for ALL" he says, land
l made this change out of generosity
and because ! knew if the New York
had been present she would have done
as good work as anybody else" Again
SchIeys characteristic fairness, not to
say charity, is observed. He was will
ing to give the New York and Admiral
Sampson credit for what they would
have done, Notwithstanding they were
not in a position to do anything.
But why was. Admiral Sampson so
anxious to have himself and the New
records? We have seen it charged in
public prints that pretty nearly the
whole controversy hinges upon the
matter of prize money. There were in
volved thousands of dollars for the
man in command of the American ships
that potted the Spaniards. 1t would
no doubt be an injustice to Admiral
Sampson to suggest that he had this
money in view, nevertheless the facts
remain that he refused to receive the
Schley report until he had been writ
ten into it and that he got the greater
share in the prize money paid by the
government. 1t so chances that he
was not in the fight but he was pres
ent when the claims for compensation
were made. 1t is unfortunate for Adj
miral Sampson that he is not in phys
ical and mental condition to appear
before the court and show that his
refusal to receive the original report
was not based upon any prize money
consideration.

Magistrate Mott had a contest with
a boilermalxer in the West Side court
to-day, and after smashing his gavel
to make the boilermaker stop yelling

case, says the New York Commercial

o'clock this morning at Ninth avenue

parently trying to moderate his voice

THE VALUE OF PUBLICITY.

That there is money in the judicious
trated in Baltimore a. few days ago,
when the Charles A. Vogeler Company
was sold to an English syndicate for
a. sum said to be not less than 100000.
The company through faulty manage
ment had become practically bankrupt.
1t had nothing of intrinsic value, such
as real estate or collectible assets, to
transfer to the purchasers. All that
the syndicate received was the
trade marks and good will
of the old concern, together
with the formulas of the proprietary
tured. One of these articles, as will
be recalled by most newspaper readers,
is st. Jacobs Oil. In former days one
could scarcely open a daily newspaper
but his glance fell upon the advertise
ment of that preparation. 1t became
famous; a household word. And the
publicity then given it by persistent
and intelligent advertising, to this day
remains a valuable commercial asset.
The formula for a new remedy of the
same sort, possibly just as good, would
have commanded only a small price, II
any price at all. but st. Jacobs Oil,
notwithstanding the vicissitudes of the
firm which originated It and made 1t
famous was still worth 100000 to a
new manufacturing concern. The in
cident embodies a lesson which will
not be lost upon discerning business
man
