EAcIs EoR FORMERS.

Farm statistics furnish an unan-
swerable argument in favor of the
continued supremacy of the Republi-
can party and it's protective tariff
policy, and suggests that we compare
farm valses in 1892 with those in
1902. This we gladly do, incidentally
taking in 1896 also.
The following figures are taken
from the reports of the Chicago Board
of Trade, the Daily Trade Bulletin
and the Daily Inter Ocean. The
mean price per bushel of cash corn
in Chicago, March /. 1892, was Al
cents; March l, 1898. 40 cents.
Cleveland was sworn in as president
three days later on the 4th of March,
1893. He went out of Office March 4,
1897. at which time he was succeeded
by.Willlam Mckinley. The Cleveland
administration had succeeded in re
ducing the price of corn to % cents.
Under a Republican administration it
has steadily increased until March /,
1902, the Chicago price was 60 cents
and June l. 1902. it was 81 cents.
March !, 1893, when Cleveland came
into Office the price of No. l timothy
hay in Chicago was $l1.50. -Four
years of Democratic administration re-
duced the price to $7.75 per ton, thai
being the price March ], 1897. Under
the present Republican administration
the price March 1. 1902, was S12.75
and June I, 1902, s13.75 in Chicago. r

fact that the war ended more thar

population" But the census report
show also corresponding increase in
the acreage of farm lands. In any
event, our population doesn't eat hay.
There was considerable increase In
population from 1892 to 1897 during
the Democratic reign. but farm prices
went down instead of up. So that
argument won't work. The real reas-
on for difference in farm prices is that
the Democratic Wilson bill closed so
many mills, factories and mines, and
people who have no employment are
never good customers for farm prod
ucts. Under the Dingley tariff bill
three millions more of men are at
work in the United States than there
were in 1895. All laborers get bet
ter wages and are better customers
of farm products.

TELLER AND THE
BUCkLlN AMENDMENT

A few days ago we commented on
the fact that Senator Teller was using
his congressional frank to send ont
state matter for the Democratic cam
paign, and expressed a doubt as TO
whether it could be true. We have re-
ceived proof of it in a form of a letter
from the senator, enclosing a docu-
ment called the report of the Colorado
state senate committee on the Austria
lasian tax system. The document was
prepared by a committee of which Sen
ator Bucklin was chairman, in the last
Colorado legislature. 1t was evidently
sent to Washington, and Senator Tel
Ter obtained leave to print it as a SEN
ate document, by taking advantage of
senatorial courtesy" Now he is dis
tributing it broadcast throughout the
state under his congressional frank,
because 1t is a senate document. Tech
aically he has right to do this, but
it looks like a piece of sharp practice
nevertheless.
1t is a little queer that the main
activity of Senator Teller in the cam
paign thus far should be the promotion
of the agitation for this new form of
taxation. and in support of a measure
which was ignored by the Democratic
state convention, and which is opposed
by many leading Democrats. 1t will
be news to many to know that the SEN
ator has become a convert in his old
age to the doctrines of Tom l.. John
son and Henry George. and to the
Bucklin amendment. Only the other
day we heard one of the most promi
uent Democrats of Arapahoe county
declare that he was Single TaXer,
but against the Bucklin amendment.
He said that a bill for the Single Tax
throughout the state he would sup
port; but this amendment would SIM
ply throw the finances of the state into
chaotic condition, and he could not
support it. There are many other be-
levers in the Single Tax theory who
take the same view of this particular
application of it; but Senator Teller is
doing all he can to induce the voters
of the state to approve this wild and
chimerical and chaotic scheme for de-
moralizing the state finances still fur
ther. 1t is only another evidence that
the old man has lost his grip.-Colo-

pointed to the vacancy left by the res
ignation of Judge Samuel B. Adams
as city attorney. Mayor Myers said
yesterday that he would appoint Col.
Garrard to the position. 1t is probable
that the appointment will be made
within a few days.
The election for city attorney, Mayor
Myers said, cannot be held until Oct.
Is, when a regular meeting of Council
will be held. At the next meeting of
the board, to be held on Oct. l, a reso-
luton will be adopted, advertising an
election of city attorney for the fol-
lowing meeting.
At the meeting on Oct, 1 Mayor My
ers will inform the board of his ap-
pointment of Col. Garrard to fill the
position temporarily. 1t is not doubt
ed that the board will rat
ify the appointment. By the
vote then, when it is moved that the
appointment be confirmed, an idea of
Col. Garrard's strength may possibly
be given.
1t is practically conceded by many
who are in position to know that Col.
Garrard will be elected on Oct. Is to
fill the unexpired term. Mr.. F. M.
Oliver is now said to be the only OPP
posing candidate though the name of
Mr. w. H. Wade is mentioned. Hon.
j. Ferris Cam has not offered for the
race, his friends say, and he will not
be a candidate.
Considerable interest has been man
ifested in the city attorneyship sue
cession, and the result of the election
on Oct. Is will be watched with inter-
est. Some predict, however, that the
field will be left to Col. Garrard and
that he will not be opposed.

Y. M. C. A. DIRECTOR.
j. NJ. Graham of Richmond to Take
That Position Oct. L.

j. NJ. Graham of Richmond to Take
That Position Oct. L.
The Y. M. c. A. has secured a new
physical director to succeed Mr.. ]. c.
Blake, recently resigned, and he will
be in Savannah and take charge of
the gymnasium classes by Oct. l. The
new director is Mr.. j. NJ. Graham of
Richmond, Va.
Mr.. Graham has been physical d.
rector of the Richmond Y. NJ. c. A.,
probably the largest in the South, and
leaves that position for the one here
only that he may have the opportunity
of entering the other lines of assocla-
ton work. This he will have the
chance to do in Savannah, as besides
being physical director, he will be as
sistant secretary.
The new director is a young man,
though married. He bears the very
highest recommendations, and was, in
fact, the first choice of the board of
direction of the local association when
Mr.. Blake's intention to resign was
made known. There was some delay
about closing contract with him at
first, because of the salary demanded,
but the directors have finally made
the desired returns.
Mr.. Graham. upon his arrival, will
find the work of the gymnasium in
good shape, the result of the careful
and consistent efforts of Mr. Blake.
In fact, the outlook of the association
for this fall is the brightest in its
history. The classes have been kept
up all summer and the continued and
healthy interest that is shown in the
work is proved by the fact that there
is even now an average nightly at
tendance of over thirty.

CAN'T LEVY EXECUTIONS.
Creditor of Steamboat Company in
Queer Legal Fix.

Creditor of Steamboat Company in
Queer Legal Fix.
DR.. ]. G.. farrell filed petition in
the Superior Court yesterday asking
for permission to levy upon the prop
erty of the Savannah River Steamboat
Company, for the purpose of satisfy
ing two small judgments against the
company that he holds. The allega-
tons of fact in the petition reveal a
rather peculiar and unusual state or
affairs.
1t is set forth in the petition that,
though the litigation in which the de-
PENDANT has been involved has been
ended and the property of the COM
pany released from the control of the
receiver and returned to it, the re-
Ownership itself still exists, and for
that reason the plaintiff cannot secure
the satisfaction of his judgments by
levy. The officers of the company say
they can't pay them for a like rea-
son.
In the meantime some of the prop
erty has been already removed be-
yond the jurisdiction of the court, and
it is possible that other parts of it
may suffer like fate.
The plaintiff asks for the privileges
of having issued an execution for the
amount of his Judgments and the de-
PENDANT has been directed to appear
and show cause on Sept. % why the
prayer of the petition should not be
allowed. The plaintiff is represented
by Travis & Edwards.

Furnishings for Building.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
was held yesterday afternoon at the
residence of Mrs. Richard Webb, on
Oglethorpe avenue, west. There was a
large attendance, and the meeting was
a most enthusiastic one. Mr.. j. r. Nc
Cornica, the new superintendent, was
present, and, with his wife, assisted
the ladies in formulating their plans.
The furnishing of the new w. G. L.
U. building, on Liberty street, west,
was one of the most important ques-
tons discussed. 1t was decided to
furnish the building newly throughout.
as soon as practicable. This work, it
is probable, will be finished within
three weeks. The building will then
be dedicated.
Some little discussion as to the exer-
cises was entered into, but nothing
definite will be decided upon until after
the building has been completely fur
nished. 1t was practically determined
that these exercises would be simple,
but Impressive.
A letter was read 10 the meeting
from a young lady, who proffered the
society a set of books for the reading
room. The books were received with
thanks. The ladies will be glad to re-
ceive books or donations of any kind
to aid them in establishing a library of
some proportions. 1t is not their pur-
pose to solicit subscriptions. but they
desire it known that donations of cash
or in kind will be gratefully received.
The members of the Union are all
pleased with the new home, and, with
the able assistance of their new super
intendent, expect to accomplish a great
deal of good in the community. As
soon as the furnishing of the building
is completed, another meeting will be
held, and plans for the dedication for

Old Case Long Pending in Court of
Ordinary Wound Up.
A case that has been pending in the
Court of Ordinary for the past eleven
years was brought to an end yester-
day, by the grant of an order permit
ting the fiduciary to file final return
and receive letters dismissory from his
trust.
In August, 1891, John F. Tietjen was
appointed guardian of the person and
estate of James o. Dewawdosky, for
the sole purpose of facilitating the col
lection of a small claim, representing
the wards share of an estate in Ger
many. The collection was made long
ago and the actual work concluded
but because of forgetfulness the case
was never wound up and according to
the court records the guardian still
remained responsible for the property
involved.
This was brought to his attention
and the application for leave to file a
final return and be granted letters dis
missory was made. Yesterday Judge
McAlpin granted the application.

ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY.

James JinI<ins Accused of Having
Entered Two Homes TO Steal.
Acting Detective Nose Davis yester-
day morning arrested a negro, James
Jinkins, who is a familiar figure in
police circles. and had him locked up
on a charge of burglary. Two offenses
are laid at his door and in both the
parties who claim to have lost goods
by Jinkins' depredations have identi-
fed the man as the one seen in their
houses.
The burglaries happened some days
ago and have been kept quiet in order
to facilitate the work of the depart
ment. Jinkins is accused of having
entered the houses of Wash Simmons
and Thomas Monroe, and from the
former had a narrow escape. The
householder and the burglar clinched.
and Simmons was considerably shaken
up by the time Jinkins got away.
