LATE NEWS IN BRIEF.

The death Of Queen Victoria has
resulted in great scarcity OF
mourning goods, while dealers in
ceiored goods will lose heavily.
The uprising OF the Creek In
dams is due to the CARTS law pass
ed in 1893, which abolishes all
tribal laws and declares that the
Indians shall be governed BY laws
of the United States.
L is thought probable that an
extra session Of congress will be
held, the chief purpose of which
will be the enactment of laws for
the government OF the Philippines.
Mrs. Nations visited Topeka,
Kan, on her anti saloon crusade.
She was beaten with a broOmstick
by the wife of one saloon keeper.
She did no smashing, but lectured.
There are over a hundred saloons
in Topeka.
An interview with Aguinaldo,
claimed to be well authenticated,
is published by the New York
World, in which tile Filipino lead
er is reported as saying that he
will never accept amnesty, but will
continue to fight to the end.

The fact that Kansas is prohi
hilton state, and that liqH0ur can
not be sold legally in the STATE,
gives Mrs Nation immunity from
legal punishment for smashing
SALOON furniture. She at least pats
Ia shame the officers of the law
who wink at open violation of the
state law, and who are thus guilty
of violating their own oath TO ell
force the laws.

ALREADY MAKING EXCUSES.

The leaders and newspapers of the
Fusion party, which ousted Tammany
from the control of New York in the
recent municipal fight in that city, are
already pointing out why their party
will not be able to carry on public i'm
provement work as Tammany
did. They say that Tammany
ran the city into debt to
it's limit, and hence it will not be
possible to borrow money for several
years. They don't want to raise the
tax rate because that would make
their party unpopular. The consequence
is that the new administration will not
be able to do anything in the direction
of street paving, street opening, put
ting up new buildings, etc. The prob
abilities are therefore that the Fusion
lists will lose large part of the large
labor vote. Tammany's strength was
due largely to the fact that it kept
thousands of men employed all the
time at good wages.
The Fusionists claimed, however,
that Tammany was extravagant-tha
annually that could have been saved
without injury to any public interest.
If they can make this claim good they
will have plenty of money for making
public Improvements. They will have
a hard time, however, in abolishine
any offices, for the reason that they
have thousands of men in their own
ranks who are office hungry
1t is little curious that the reform
leaders are favoring the open saloon
for certain hours on Sunday. An ex-
PLANTATION of this is that thousands of
East Side voters voted with them be-
cause they wanted to get rid of the
exactions of Tammany officials, but it
seems that they will go back to Tam
many at the next municipal election IL
they are not permitted to have their
beer on Sundays. 1t is to hold these
voters therefore that 1t is proposed to
open the saloons on Sundays.
1t is thought that there will be a
good deal of disappointment with the
Low administration expressed before
it has had control OF the city very
long. and Mayor Low will not find the
plain sailing that he hoped for. Still,
it is probable that all things consid-
cred the people viii be thankful that
they were delivered from Tammany
rule. 1t had become corrupt and very
burdensome

Yesterday we published very inter
esting interview with Mr.. w. P. Car
michael. who. at one time, was large
rice planter on the Savannah river
and who knows about all there Is TO he
known about rice lands in this vicin-
ity, on the subject of consolidating the
ownership of all the Savannah river
rice lands He called attention to the
effort that was made year or two
ago to put these lands under the con-
troll of a company. and so improve
them that there would be no danger
of losing a crop from freshets or
storms. That effort failed because the
owners of two of the plantations re-
fused TO part with the control of their
property
There is no doubt that the putting Of
the lands in control of a company
would be the very best thing that could
be done for the lands and for the own
ers Of them. The lands would then
be improved, as Mr. Carmichael points
out, so that there would be certainty
of a crop every year. Now about one
crop out of three is lost, and its loss
prevents the rice planter from making
anything more than a. living. Indeed,
there are planters who have planted
rice on the Savannah river for many
years and they are not much better
off now than when they began plant
ing. They have raised good crops and
have received, on an average, fair
prices for rice, but their losses from
storms and freshets have taken all of
their surplus earnings.
1t would cost a good deal of money
of course to carry Mr.. Carmichaels
plan into effect, but the lands would
be far more valuable when the plan
was completed than they are now. In
fact, it is a safe assertion that If the
lands are worth an average of $50 an
acre now they would be worth 500 an
acre when improved as proposed. And
they would pay a big interest on the
valuation of 500 an acre, and pay it
every year.
1t seems to us that another effort
should be made to form company to
control the lands. How this could be
done Mr. Carmichael points out. And
as far as we can see, there is no rea-
son why the planters should not un-
dertake to form the company them
selves. They would find no difficulty
in raising sufficient amount of
money, on the land as security. to put
all of the plantations beyond danger
from storms and freshets. When the
improvement was once made it would
require but little money annually to
keep the entire property in good condi-
ton. If the planters are unwilling to
undertake to finance such a scheme
they ought not to find any difficulty
in getting capitalists to undertake it.
To have all the rice lands in this VI
entity put in condition that would
make a crop certain every year would
be a good thing for this city and for
the owners of the stock in the proposed
company.

The Professors Homeopathy.

Senator w. A Clark of Montana,
tells story on Prof. N. r. Leonard,
who for years was dean of the faculty
of the Iowa State University and who
was called recently to the presidency
of the Mining College at Butte, Mont,
SAYS the Saturday Evening Post Sen
ator Clark says that though Montana
is somewhat out of the circle of pro-
hibition influences, il can boast in
President Leonard rare apostle and
advocate of temperance.
Not long ago Prof. Leonard, feeling
indisposed. consulted his physician, a
German. very scientific and acknowl-
edged as one of the leading men in his
profession in Nor tana. The doctor
advised Mr.. Leonard to work less at
the desk. exercise more outdoors and
take beer as tonic.
The Professors labors were such that
he felt that he could not devote fewer
hours to them, but he concluded at
least to try some beer, which he had
never before tasted. He did not APP
prove of it as a beverage, but as a
medicine he felt justified in taking it,
especially on the recommendation Of
so eminent a practitioner.
The doctor met his patient a. few
days later as he was leaving the col
lege and stopped to inquire how he
was feeling.
About the same" replied the Pro-
fessor.
did you take beer as I directed?"
inquired the physician.
Yes" responded the Professor. "I
took it a few times. but it became so
nauseous that had to discontinue it.
How much did you take?"
why, I bought a whole bottle and
took a spoonful before each meal"
answered the Professor

PENSION FRAUDS.

What has become of. the bill, recon-
mended by Mr.. ]. w. Lindsey, Com
missioner of Pensions, providing for
the appointment of competent officer
10 make complete and authentic rec
ord of every soldier sent into the SER
vice, both State and Confederate, from
Georgia? According to a statement
made by the Commissioner. in his an
nual report, the Importance of such a
record cannot we'll be overestimated. 1t
would go long way towards prevent
fraud. And the record should be made
without unnecessary delay. because
death is all the time removing those
who could give valuable information.
If we understand the Commissioner
rightly, applicants are getting on the
pension list who have no right to be
there, simply because they are able to
get men to swear to statements which
have little or no foundation in fact. On
this point the Commissioner says: THE
absence of this record subjects the pen
sion system to abuses on the part of
men who rendered the state no service
when she needed them, and now want
pensions for that which they did not
do. This class will swear. and do
swear, one for the other, and good men
will let their sympathy for the pres
ent needs of the applicant, without re-
gard to his record as a soldier, sweep
away their judgment and reason, and
become clamorous for the grant of a
pension to such. His success in a COM
munity will start a dozen others to
make the effort. Hence, the pension
office is burdened with applications
which should never have been made"
The foregoing statement is sufficient
to Justify the belief that there are
many persons on the pension list who
should not be there. 1t is not to be
wondered at. therefore, that there is a
quite general demand for a thorough
revision of the pension list. That list
is growing all the time. notwithstand
ing the fact that the number removed
by death every year is quite large. The
amount required for pensions for the
year 1902 is $3.50, 500. and it would not
be surprising If the pension charge
should amount to $1,000,OOO a year with
In a very few years, unless the PEN,
sion list is thoroughly overhauled or
pensioners are placed on an INDECENT
basis. Up to date the state has paid
out in pensions nearly 100000. While
every worthy Confederate veteran and
every worthy widow of a Confederate
veteran should share in the states
bounty, care should be taken to pre-
vent the unworthy from getting on the
pension roll. The burden which the
people have to carry is heavy enough
without giving pensions to the unde-
/ serving

TRoUpLEsoME MR.. BABoocK.

The leaders Of the Republican party
do not want tariff legislation of any
! kind during the approaching session of
| Congress, but they have Representative
/ Babcock to deal with He holds an in
| fiuential position in their party and is
| the. representative of a very strong
sentiment in the West in favor of tar
if legislation. It is stated that they
are trying to devise a plan to suppress
him. and the understanding is that
they intend to hold caucus within a.
day or two for that purpose. A steer
ing committee is talked of which shall
decide upon the measures that shall be
taken up for consideration. The Repub-
llcan leaders sec trouble ahead IL their
party undertakes to revise the tariff
or favors reciprocity treaties. On both
of these questions the Republican par
ty is divided.
The trusts, which depend upon the
Republican party to protect them from
hostile legislation, are against tariff
changes, and. as a rule, reciprocity
treaties They realize that the mo-
ment the tariff question is opened they
will be threatened with legislation in
imical to their interest. In the West
particularly there is a strong and grow
ing sentiment against trusts, and, in
that section, ii is believed that one of
the ways to prevent them from OPP
pressing the pepole is to reduce the tar
if on articles which they produce.
The combining Of great railroad sys-
tens under the control of the North
ern Securities Company is having the
effect of strengthening the sentiment
against trusts. The Governor OF Mime
sofa and the Governors Of several 9TH
err northwestern states have given no
tice that the railroad combination in
question will not be tolerated, and they
are preparing to fight it. This action
on their part will not be without its eff
feet on Congress.
The situation as 1T now presents it.
self is therefore that it will be difficult,
if not impossible, for the Republican
leaders to prevent efforts to cut down
the tariff and also to provide for gov
eminent control of interstate railroads
and also of industrial trusts which do
business in many states. Representa-
tive Babcock is not disposed to be die
tated to by the leaders of his party. He
seems to feel that his first duty is to
his constituents and the people of his
section. He has an opportunity to make
a name for himself and it is but nat
ural that he should take advantage Of
it, Unless the President is better par
ty manager than he has yet shown
himself to be he will find a great lack
of harmony in his party before the first
session of this Congress comes to an
end

Vice President Roosevelt was not al
ways the mighty hunter he is now. He
has had his day Of being afraid of big
game. But that was many years ago.
when he was a wee little boy in short
trousers and used to play tag in Mad
ison Square in New York, says Har-
per's Weekly. Opposite the square on
the east side stood a Presbyterian
church and the sexton, while airing the
building one Saturday, noticed a. small
boy peering curiously in at the half
open door, but making no move to en-
ter.
Come in, my little man, if you wish
to- said the sexton.
mo, thank YOU" said the boy. 81
know what you've got in there"
Il haven't anything that little boys
mayn't see. Come in"
I'D rather not" And the juvenile
Theodore cast a sweeping and some
what apprehensive glance around the
pews and galleries and bounded off to
play again.
Still the lad kept returning once in
a while and peeping in. When he went
home that day he told his mother OF
the sections invitation and his unwill-
ingness 10 accept it.
but why didn't you go in, my
of God, but there is no harm in enter
ing it quietly and looking about"
With some shyness the little fellow
confessed that he was afraid to go in
because the zeal might jump out at
him from under a pew or somewhere.
THE zeal? What is the zeal?" the
mother inquired.
why" explained Theodore, 81 sup
pose it is some big animal like dra-
gon or an alligator. I went there to
church last Sunday with uncle R.
and / heard the minister read from
the Bible about the zeal, and it fright
ened me.
Down came the Concordance from
the library shelf, and one after an
other of the texts containing the word
"zeaP was read to the child, whose
eyes suddenly grew big and his voice
excited as he exclaimed:
