From the Chicago Record-Herald.
''Tll pass this way but once" fool cried
out,
And therefore 1 will laugh and take my
ease:
Let others toll and sweat and fret and
doubt.
And miss the chance God gives them, if
they please
But I will journey down the careless
ways
And ope my eyes to none but happy
days"
"I'l pass this way but once" another
said,
Hence all that God laid out for me to
must be doing as I fare ahead.
That He may say We'll DONE" when
am through
BY word and deed I'll do my best to
Good cheer along the pathways that
tread"
The wise man did his work and did it
well,
And people blessed him as he went
along,
And higher swelled the chorus of the
song
The song of joy God meant that men
should raise,
The splendid song of brotherhood and
praise.
The useless fool went dawdling here and
there,
Unmindful OF all feelings but his own;
What if men sang or sobbed? He didn't
care
One morn he woke to find all pleasures
flown!
His tongue was thick and dry-he cursed
his lot
And shriveled up-and passed-and was
forgot S.. e. Kiser.

Col. w. II. Venable Of Atlanta does not
regard the outlook for the election OF
Democratic President in 1904 as very hope
full whether the nominee be Hill or an
other. The matters of Cuba and the
Philippines have got to be settled, he
thinks. before the country will consent
20 change parties In the White House. And
such settlement Is not yet In sight Col.
Nenable is OF the opinion that cuba ought
20 be a part Of the United States, and
that there can be no permanent settle
ment until annexation has been accom-
plished. BY all that is fair and just. Cuba
must be given an opportunity TO try self
government before annexation can be
brought about, hence several years will
be required fof that purpose. When our
relations with Cuba and the Philippines
have been settled, Col. Venable thinks,
the Democratic party viii have its day

The Atlanta Constitution gives a mean
ing to an interview with Mr.. C. c. Han
son relative to cotton congresses, pub
lished in the Morning News, which was
not intended by Mr.. Hanson and which,
it seems to us, cannot be legitimately
drawn from what Mr.. Hanson said. What
Mr.. Hanson said was that in his opinion
the cotton congresses at the towns would
go out of use in very few years because
congresses We're being established at the
ginneries-compresse that do about as
satisfactory work as the big congresses
in the towns. The Constitution interpreted
this to mean that, in Mr.. Hanson's opin-
ion, the roundlap bale would take the
place of the standard bale. In the course
of its article it says: with the compress
will disappear an interesting relic of the
old South. In its day it performed a use
full service, but at best it was only a
makeshift. tolerated because there was
nothing better. Its passing will cause no
regret, except among those directly in
terested as owners or stockholders. Nor
will any tears be shed over the passing
of bagging and ties"
Mr.. Hanson had not the remotest idea
of saying anything from which the in
ference could be drawn that the roundlap
bale would take the place of the stand
ard bale, the bale with bagging and ties,
and If the Constitution will read the in
teIview again it will see that he said
nothing from which such an inference
could be drawn. What he said was that
the standard bale, instead of being COM
pressed at the big congresses in the
towns, would be compressed at the gin
neries, machinery having been invented
for that purpose. Bagging and ties will
not pass quite as quickly as the Consti-
tuition seems to wish, and not quickly
enough to please those interested in the
American Cotton Company. Indeed the
square bale, the standard "A by "a bale,
is the bale in which the cotton of the
South will go to market for many years,
If not for all time. The round bale has
gained some friends but it is not likely
to be popular with the cotton planter as
long as the machines with which ii is
made cannot be purchased. The Constitu-
ton, doubtless, will hasten to put Mr..
Hanson right before its readers.

Russell Sage, the noted inencier, is per
sistent in his prediction that the present
craze for speculation win end in
another Black Friday" and that it will
be more disastrous than the original
BLACK Friday" because there are so
many more people who will be utterly
ruined when the crash comes.
In his opinion, and there are many who
agree with him, the present high prices
for railway stocks cannot be maintained,
and the industrial stocks which have
been put on the market by the hundreds
Of millions of dollars are not worth the
prices which are being paid for them. The
lack OF confidence in these stocks may be-
come apparent any day, and then there
will be a rush to sell. The people who
have been buying with such confidence
with the expectation OF getting rich will
tumble over each other in their haste to
get rid of their holdings before their mar
gins are exhausted. People who now think
they are rich will find themselves without
a dollar.
Just now all the talk in New York, and,
in fact, in all of the cities of the country,
is of the stock market. Even women are
affected by the craze and in New York
hundreds of them are risking their money
in the great gambling game that is going
on in the Stock Exchange. Some of them
have made a large amount of money. In
fact, about all of them have been fortu-
nate, because there has been almost a
steady rise in stocks during the last few
weeks. But it is probable that most of
them have reinvested all of their win
nings on margins, and will be caught
when prices take a tumble.
Men like Russell Sage, who have been
through more than one panic in Wall
Street, recognize the signs of coming
storm, and no doubt they will be prepar-
ed for it. Those who are less able to suf-
fer losses are the ones who will be caught
and stripped of their all when the pres
ent madness for speculation has run its
course. Indeed, the most conservative of
the banking houses of Wall Street have
been saying for weeks that stocks were
bringing prices above their intrinsic
value, and that there would be a down.
ward movement in the very near future
This downward movement has been de-
layed longer than was expected, but it is
believed that it will come before long.

Richard Croker has written from Eng
land that he will return TO New York
about the middle of June. This is taken
TO mean that he has no fear of the oppo-
sition to Tammany Hall that has been
worked tip during his absence, and hopes
to lead the organization to victory at the
polls again. 1.-The reformers are killing
themselves, and we shall win hands
down." he is said to have written a
friend. Many persons are inclined to
think this view is the correct one, and
that the anti-Tammany movement was
begun too soon. Already there are signs
of interest in it falling.

THE JACKsoNvILLE CALAMITY.

The sympathy of the whole country will
go out TO Jacksonville. She has suffered
a calamity. large part of the city

away whole blocks of buildings. Bust

o'clock at night. 1t originated in the
western part Of the city and went north

Most of the buildings being of wood, it
spread with great rapidity and was soon
beyond the control of the fire department.
