THE STATE CONVENTION.

The state convention will be COM
posed of $50 delegates. The majority
rule governs, hence it will require 176
votes to nominate. The counties are
entitled to representation in the con-
vention on the basis of two delegates
for each representative in the lower
house Of the General Assembly.
At its last session the General As
sembly passed an act Reproducing
the representation in accordance with
the federal census of 1900. Under this
act seven of the counties lost one rep
resentative each, and seven gained one
each, leaving the total unaffected. The
counties are divided into three classes,
those of the first class having three
representatives EACH those of the sec
ond having two, and those of the third
one. They will therefore be represent
ed in the convention by six, four and
two delegates, respectively.
The counties of the first class are Full
ton, Chatham, Floyd, Bibb, Richmond
and Thomas.
The counties of the second class.
twenty-six in number, are Burke, Mus
cogee, Decatur, Washington, Carroll,
Dooley, Sumter Laurens, Gwinnett,
Coweta, Cobb, Jackson, Troupe, Meri-
wether Houston, Bulloch, Emanuel,
DeKalb, Walton, Wilkes, Barlow, Hall,
Monroe, Tattnall, Lowndes and FL
bert.
The counties of the third class, 105 in
number, are all of those not included
in the foregoing lists. These for con-
venience are sometimes called the
country counties" They will have 21O
votes in the convention, against 40 for
the city" or more populous counties.

Mrs. Garthmier of Philadelphia is
missing again. She is twenty-four
years old, and has been married about
four years. That she is missing how
ever, is nothing strange. Her husband
says that in their four years of mar
ried life he has gone home nineteen
times and found himself temporarily
wifeless. With the accuracy of Sher-
lock Holmes he has, on eighteen of
these occasions. traced the woman and
found her employed as a cook, a house
maid or something of the sort, and
she would always explain that she only
wanted a little change of scene, and
dutifully accompany him home. On
this nineteenth occasion, however,
Garthmier's detective instinct has
failed him. Should he succeed in dis
covering the whereabouts of the lady,
he might do we'll to follow the example
of the world renowned Mr.. Peter

other portions of the state or to claim
recognition for this part of Georgia.
South Georgia should have the gov
ernorship. She should have it now. The
material growth of sthis part of the
state shows that we are deserving of
the prestige which the governorship
would bring.
Col. EstilIs opponents concede to him
the counties of Bryan, Bulloch Burke,
Chatham, Charlton, Camden, Dawson,
Efingham, Emanuel, Glynn. Forsyth,
Hall. Laurens, Liberty Lumpkin, Mont
gomery, Mcintosh, Pierce, Screven,
Tattnall, Towns, Wayne, Ware. White,
Whitfield and Worth. These are more
counties than will be carried by Mr..
Query. Besides these Col. Estill will
carry many others. In case there is
no nomination in the primary and the
matter is referred to the state conven-
ton it is very obvious that Col. EstilPs
chances are better than either of the
other candidates. There will be little
possibility of the Query men going
over to Terrell or vice versa. 1t is
probable that in a convention where
neither candidate secured a majority
vote on the first ballot Col. Estill would
make a better showing on the final
vote than either of his colleagues. His
campaign has been one of conserva-
tism throughout. He has made a clean,
respectable contest, and, if elected
business-like executive.

From yesterdays Savannah Press.
Col. j. H. Estin of Savannah will be
voted for in to-morrows primary. He
has made an excellent canvass of the
state. He has gone about quietly,
meeting the people. He has made no
charges, INDUCED in no boastful claims,
injected no bitterness into the cam
paign. For the past year Col. Estill
has been in the race and he has pur
sued strong, dignifed campaign. He
has won the respect of people in Geor-
gia and in to-morrow's primary will
have very fattering vote.
Col. Estill should have the hearty
and undivided support of Chatham
tomorrow That he will carry his
home county overwhelmingly goes
without saying. His friends should
turn out promptly and see that he gets
the benefit of his full strength in Chat
nam. Col. Estill has been a public
spirited, useful man in Savannah. He
has given to all public enterprises and
has been prominent in every move
ment looking to the upbuilding of the
city. He goes into the state primary
as a South Georgia candidate for Gov

THE President AND THE SENATE.

I
! The question of granting tariff con-
| cessions on Cuban products threatens
| to cause trouble between the President
| and some of the Republican senators.
| The President insists that Cuba must
be given assistance-that there must
be a reduction of the tariff on Cuban
imports-and eighteen Republican SEN
ators say that there shall be no such
reduction. The eighteen senators held
a meeting on Monday night and
pledged themselves to stand together
solidly in opposition to any measure
that let's down the tariff bars in the
interest of Cuban products. They rep
resent states in which the beet sugar
interests have attained considerable i'm
portance.
The Democrats do not intend to fill
buster to prevent assistance being
granted to Cuba. They say frankly
that if the Republicans will agree upon
bill they Will let it pass, if a reason
able time for its discussion is allowed.
The committee which has the Cuban
relief matter in charge is prepared to
report a bin which make a reduction
in the tariff of 20 per cent. on Cuban
imports, the bill to remain in force for
the period of five years. 1t contains
no reference to the differential on re-
fined sugar which the Cuban relief bill
passed by the House abolished, nor
does it contain references to our inn
migration and exclusion laws. 1t will
be recalled that the House bill pro-
vided that Cuba should adopt our i'm
migration and Chinese exclusion laws.
The only thing the eighteen rebellious
Republican senators will agree to, they
say, is a rebate on Cuban products
the full tariff to be collected and the
rebate to be paid to the Cuban pro-
ducers. There are objections to this
plan that are practically impossible to
overcome.
What is the President going to do
about the matter? That is a question
that is greatly bothering the Republic
can leaders of the Senate. The Pres
ident is in consultation with them, and
it is expected that some plan will be
decided upon for carrying out the ad-
ministration's Cuban policy.
1t is important that the administra-
ton should not be defeated in this
matter. If it should be the impression
that would be made on the country
would have a bad effect on the Repub-
lican campaign for control of the next
House. At the beginning of this Con-
gress the President said in his message
that this country was bound by every
consideration of honor and expedien-
cy'' to grant a substantial reduction in
the tariff duties on Cuban imports. 1t
can be readily seen therefore that he
cannot well afford to be defeated in
this matter, and yet it looks as if he
would have to accept the terms offered
by the eighteen beet sugar senators or
admit a total defeat. The Republicans
have 55 votes in the Senate. Without
the eighteen who have taken a stand
against the administration they would
not have a majority.

A CHEcK To a pRoposEp ARrsE

On Monday the House very properly
refused to pass bill advancing Sur
geon General Sternberg to the grade
of Major General. He now holds the
rank of Brigadier General. He will be
retired at the end. of this week on ac-
count of age. The purpose of the bill
is to give him the pay of a retired Ma
jor General. The bill passed the SEN
ate and had been reported favorably
by the House Military Committee but
the House refused to pass it by vote
of So yeas to 1903 nays.
The House took the position that IL
1t passed the bill it would be called
on to pass a number of similar bills.
Besides, there was no reason why Sur
geon General Sternberg should be adj
vanced in rank and pay just on the
eve of his retirement.
There is a similar bill pending to
advance Major General Brooke to the
grade of Lieutenant General. The ac-
ton of the House in the case of Sur>
geon General Sternberg justifes the
conclusion that the efforts in behalf of
Gen. Brooke will fail He will reach
the retiring age the latter part of
July.
There are several other general off,
GERS who will reach the retiring age
within the next twelve months, and
it is safe to say that if the bill for
the advancement of Surgeon General
Sternberg had passed bills would have
been introduced for the advancement
of each of them. Thus the burden on
the treasury would have been increased
many thousands of dollars a year, for
no other good reason than to show the
world how very generous Uncle Sam is.
There is now and then an officer of
the army who, for special reasons, is
entitled to advancement just before the
age of retirement is reached. There
is no difficulty in singing them out.
AS a rule, however, the law ought to
be adhered to strictly. By making
such a precedent as is proposed in the
Sternberg case Congress would be ex-
pected to advance every officer just
before reaching the retiring age, sim
ply to give him an increase in his in
come.

Travelled in great style, always accom-
panied by a valet, says the New York
Commercial. His name was frequently
seen on the hotel register at the st.
James and Windsor hotels in Jackson
Vile, and the word valet always con-
spicuously followed the autograph.
One day Mart Bartleson, son of the
we'll known wholesale grocer of jack
sonville, entered the Windsor Hotel and
saw Buch register. Bartleson was a
drummer for his father, and his name
followed Bucks on the register, which
read thus:
&C. l.. Bucki and valet"
Mart Bartleson and valise."
Bucki was furious. Since then he has
lost his millions in lawsuits, it is said,
and foreign travel, and Bartleson was
murdered in Miami, Fla, about three
months ago.

Judge Barrow of the Superior Court
was evidently in touch with public SEN
timent when the other day he charged
his grand jury on the subject of the
beef trust, instructing it to investigate
the matter and bring indictments if the
facts were found as represented. The
trust seems to be having some unpleas-
ant quarters of an hour in various
cities, owing to the activity of the
courts. Action has been brought in
New Orleans against the packers
whose agents have endeavored to run
away with and hide the companies

probable that the Louisiana Legisla-
ture also, will order an investigation
of the trust.
