Savannah Hospitality Dangerous

From Savannah to Chicago Tribune.
 Savannah has a few croakers They are of a wholly innocuous order. so Tar as intent is concerned They may be even Yirtuous in their bilious view Of things But they are croaking.
 Ut is going to surprise me said one of them If Admiral Schley gets out or this town without doctors bill to pay. Mind you, I don't know a thing about what the Admiral is doing or eating, or drinking, save as I read it in the papers. I'm simply quoting Savannah history Tn proof of what l say"
 When one listens to this story of how Savannah's hospitality has played havoc with the digestive apparatus of various notable victors he may be pardoned for asking closely after the Admirals health.
 According to the croaker. Savannah 8 disposition to kill with kindness dates hack to colonial times. Then, however. there was no special agent which the city had at its command and called Its own. It was not until the famous Chat ham artillery punch was concocted, years and years ago, that Savannah final lv came into it's own with a hospitality that began to be marked, "Handle with care. This side up."
 This artillery punch dates far hack into the history of the battery, which Is now IF years old. Nobody is certain as to who originated it. Thousands of per sons who have drunk the insidiouS draft have wondered as to the persons object in making a second brew of it. But in spite of all this the artillery punch of Savannah goes into nearly every bowl of Wassail that is set before representa- tives of the navy, the army, and all kindred organizations.

The. Atlanta Constitution declares that there is a racial dead-line beyond which it is impossible to go, and quotes the late Dr. Warren Stone of New Orleans. who. for thirty years, had a standing offer of one thousand dollars reward for a hu- man being of one-sixteenth negro blood. The position of The Constitution can be safely taken. and the reward could be safely offered, because 1t is impossible to prove or disprove the position of either. We see on our streets, as can be seen on the streets of any large city, persons who evidently have a trace of negro blood in their veins. but no human being can trace their lives back with such certainty or accuracy as to warrant the payment of wager or a reward. The contention Is an old one that octoroons and persons Of less negro blood never increase and multiply" but no one has yet proven it satisfactorily, for no evidence on the sub 1ect can be reliable.

A Pertinent Argument.

CentreViIle Press.
 At times ex-Governor John Anthony Winston was very emphatic in his man. ner of expression. Away back in 1S65-6 white men were required to take the oath or lose, their free-born citizenship friend of Governor Winston's asked him if he was going to take the oath. ' Yes" he replied, "I dent know that will ever want to vote for any man again but it may be I may wish to vote against some --- Scoundrel some day and I am going to qualify myself to ex- ercise that privilege-Fll take the oath.

The English people are noted for their bull -doggishness and their faculty for holding on to anything, whether it be material or ideal Sir Thomas Lipton must have d great deal of that peculiar ity about him. as he is said to be con- structing another yacht for the purpose of having one more try at that cup which has already cost him so many thousands of dollars. If he loses this time he will probably come again, for he seems of the kind who never give mp or become dis couraged. If the cup must leave Amer flea, Lipton ought to have it. for he is as courteous and fair as he is determined and persevering.

Another instance of absurd and utterly lndefensible legislation is shown by the Mississippi State Senate in passing, a res Dlution that hereafter mo textbook shall be used in the schools of the State that give to any other officer than Admiral Schley the credit for the Santiago vic tory" It is difficult to understand how legislators can so completely lose their heads as to pass such a resolution as this. for there is no defence for it and nothing good to be gained by it.

THAT aHosTLY MARRIAGE.

The more we read or that splrlt inai risee" in Detroit, the more we are ini- pressed with it. The poet tells us VI ..two so,,ls with but a single thought and though we are not sure that there were two in this case, we can proEe that there weren't, so there's no room for argument on that point. Ihere ""' one present, we are bound to admit' TUT Mrs Williams was present in person ana wa must take it for granted, in the ao- sence of evidence to the contrary 'na' she has a soul, or a spirit as sne P'e fers to call 1t. :,
 The spirit to which she was married belonged to man who quit using IL five hundred years ago. At any rate' he died then. and the presumption is that bis ghost has been wandering around ever since. waiting for a leap year proposal for we do not learn that there was any courtship or any proposal on the man mart. Poor Theodore, as he was caheo' .aa,ns to have been roped in, as 1t were without a chance to do any courtlhs or make a proposal. Mrs. Williams "lth the assistance of another spirituahsuc woman, seems to have had the power 10 ..call up spirits from the vasty deep like Glendower, and when they called Tor Theodore he evidently came a runmh and they hung to him till he was married They even stuck him up for a speech and he naturally promised all they required ot him.
 As for the woman, she declares that she is bannier than if she had married the g,andest man on earth, and we are not .u,prised at it. She's married, or tmnKs she is. and has no mah to boss or order her around. We really don't kno" whether ghosts have lodges and things to keep them out late at night, but II thev have. this one may expect to be called up and put through the mill when ever she suspects him of having been out with the boys. And the pity of II is that he'll have no way to detend himself, for sn.'u do all the talking. That is where she'll have the ropes on him. and that is probably the reason why she married him, She is the kind of woman who likes to boss things.
 There's one hitch in this kind of combi- nation that we don't see any way out ot' looking at it from material point Of view. Suppose she gets weary of married fife and wants a divorce-how will she go about it? Divorce courts have ma terial way of looking at things, and may want to hear from the other party be- fore granting a decree. Then, again. Theodore may object to being divorced and decide to hang on. What will she do about it? She might get the medium who married her to unmarry her, but if Theo- dore's ghost gets contrary, he may make it unpleasant for her when she tries to shake him off.
 She she acted wisely in getting hitched to man who had been dead half thousand years. He is not supposed to know anything about things and manners and customs of the present day, and is not liable to growl over her fashions and milliner's bills like lately emancipated ghost would. The older the ghost is the better he will be likely to behave. But it was a great scheme.

ouMM1Ns JARS PARTY.
Iowa's New Governor Strikes Hard
 Blow at Trusts.

From Des Moines to Chicago Chronicle.
 Governor A. B. Cummins came out practically for free trade in his inaugural address today and thereby angered a large element of the Republican Party that elected him chief executive of iewa. He declared that the tariff was oppressive and responsible for the trusts and that the interests of the people of this country demanded competition. If composition within the nation was not possible, then competition with the na- tons of the world must be obtained. By cutting off the tariff that fostered the monopoly of the trusts he thought compe- tition could be secured at-home.
 By making reciprocity treaties with other nations Governor CummIns was certain that world competition could be secured. Hence he was in favor of reel procity. He took a further step in ad- vance of his party advisers by arguing that this cutting off of high tariff for protected industries would prove the boon of the laboring element of the United States.

In California the court decides that a party which calls itself "Socialist-Demo- crat' must do so to deceive the people since the terms are contradictory. Why is not "Populist- Democrat equally ob- jectionabe on the ground of law and grammar as well as morals? Socialism and Populism are as different from De mocracy as darkness and light, and they mix with it as readily as oil and water Why should the law be silent when frauds are attempted on the voter?

Chances for Canal Bill Growing Less

From Washington to Chicago Tribune.
 Prospects for legislation for a canal less bright every day. and the practical determination of the Isthmian Canal Commission to reverse itself and re- port in favor of a canal by the Panama the leading Republican Senators, de- stroyed all hopes of action during either session of this Congress. If the Canal Commission has decided to recommend Panama route everything has gone to smash" said a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today.
 Such a recommendation would upset this character would have great weight with Congress, and that body would not be justified in authorizing the cxpend; ture of millions of dollars in the con struction of the canal without knowing exactly what it was doing.
 Therefore the recommendation of the Panama route would kill the Nicaragua route, and Congress would desire full This, of course, would require consider able time. and it is extremely doubtful If d report could be made to Congress by next December This would make 1t im- possible to do anything during the pres ent session. and as the next session Is a short one, and practically. all the time will be consumed in considering appro- priation bills, there would not be the
 
 at the next session.
 This would throw the matter over into the Fifty-eighth Congress, and as that is so far In the future it is inn possible to tell what wlls then be done mother member os the Foreign Re- lations Committee said: If the commis- sion should recommend the Panama route after taking into consideration the reduced offer this project would be in a much more advantageous position than the Nicaragua scheme: l am not pre- pared to say that such recommenda- tion would have the effect of deferrins legislation for any great length of time. but that is a matter which must be de- termined later. Few Senators and mem- bers of the other branch of Congress have had an opportunity to investigate this question for themselves and they must necessarily depend upon the judg- ment of those who have had that op- Dortunity
 Congress will consider the matter ju- diciously. and. of course, this will take some time.
 Even if the Canal Commission should recommend the Panama route, that does not necessarily mean that it would be adopted as ,he two routes will be con- sidered on their merits"
