CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post (Dem.) says:
''In the meantime, Mr.. Greene and Mr..
Gaynor are wishing success to the peo-
pie who are keeping the other squab-
bles and complications alive"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem. }
says: I'm his Maryland speech Mr..
Bryan took great pains to declare that
he did not desire a denomination. This
declaration, coming from him as it did
after his Eastern tour, made deliber-
ately. and not as a result of interro-
cation, must be deemed final. 1t will
help to simplify and clarity the politi-
cal situa ton, and will be received by
the great mass of the Democratic par
ty with satisfaction"
The Baltimore Sun CDem.) says:
Iowa and the other prairie states
have never reaped the advantage from
the high tariff that has come to the
manufacturing states. Iowa is a farm
ing state and has been helping to bear
the burdens imposed for the benefit of
the great corporations in other states
1t now looks as if they are trying to
ease their shoulders of the burden. 1t
is also significant that a number of
the Republican members of the House
from the Middle West, who were con-
spicuous in opposing the reciprocity
policy of Mckinley and Roosevelt, have
signally failed of denomination.
The Louisville COURIER Journal
(Dem) says: 1.-The sale of goods
abroad at lower prices than at home
is defended by Mr.. Babcock, chairman
of the Republican Congressional Cam
paign Committee, in defiance of all that
he has said against it in past years.
1t Is, therefore. to be taken rather as
the position of the Republican party
IN this campaign than as the personal
opinion Of Mr.. Babcock. The logic of
it is that wages must be reduced in
other industries as well in order 20
enable our producers to sell cheaply
TO foreigners while keeping up prices
at home. That is what is apparently
proposed for our workingmen general
~. The reduction of the wages Of the
tinplate workers Is an entering wedge
To test the temper Of the workngmen
and 20 see how much they viii stand
without revolt"

He Was A Real Boy, After All.

He was the sort of child to inspire
and Express. A sturdy little figure,
clad in clean, cool garments. A round
chubby face so tanned that the con-
trast made his big blue eyes seem
lighter in color than they really were,
though even then they matched the
mass of yellow hair that ended in
curls reaching below his neck. He
wore no hat and his feet and legs be-
low the knees were bare, though one
needed not to look at them to tell that
he had been well fed, at least during
the five or six years he had been In
the world.
Many an admiring glance was cast
at him by men and women alike as
he stood in the shadow of the elevated
road near the lower end of Greenwich
street, and held aloft in one plump lit
tie hand bunch of daisies some one
had given to him. He called to other
and larger boys across the street to
see what he had received, and they
ran over and stole them from him.
The little fellow sobbed aloud, and a
kindly faced old gentleman and a
couple of young women stepped up to
him and sought to assuage his grief.
Don't cry, my little man." they
said. "Be brave. Can we help you?
You're too nice a boy to cry like
that"
The little fists were drawn out of
his eyes, and while the tears still
glistened in them he turned on his
sympathizers and with a ring of &C.
fiance in his voice, said:
Quit yer kiddin'. You'd squeal. too,
wouldn't yer, if a bunch of guys like
them ID swiped yer bouquet"

Judges Last Game At Faro.

1.-The other day when l was in Phil
adelphia," said New York man, ac-
cording to the Sun, 81 was told how
one of their millionaires, Peter A. B.
Widener, walked the streets of Phila-
delphia all night once with $4,000 in
his pocket, wondering how he was go
ing to invest it so as to double it.
Now, I'll tell you a story of another
man who walked all night
"A judge of a, County Court in the
upper end of my state came to town
to play faro. His name was Bertram.
He never played cards at home, but
he used to come to my town and go up
against it for week at stretch. He
was usually a winner.
THE night 1 have in mind Judge
Betram met an old friend who had
been running down at the heel finan-
cially until he looked like cripple.
He frescoed his story up pretty we'll
to the Judge, who was peculiar COM
bination. When Bertram was a win
ner at faro he would divide his pile
with any friend, but he would let the
same friend starve before he would
help him until he had shaken the bank,
as he put it when he won. His I'M
fortunate friend told him he was go
ing to jump into the river that night
unless he got some help. The faro
bank was on the upper floor of a build
ing that stood facing the river. Ber-
tram said to the rundown man:
a." You go down on the levee and
walk up and down until I give you a
signal that l have made a winning. If
l shake the bank, you'll get some of
the dust. If you don't see me signal.
jump into the river. You are no good
without money, anyway
sfIf was an fhpv coma
ated, the judge to win or lose, his
friend to win or die. All night the
judge won and lost alternately. Some
times he had stacks of reds and blues
so high that they cast a shadow on
the dealers box: sometimes he had a
few measly whites on a card which
looked like a poor relation.
Meanwhile the man on the river
front was walking, looking at the dark
flow of the water like the poor unfor-
tunate in Hoods Bridge of Sighs,'
anon glancing up at the windows in
the gambling room. A terrific thun-
dershower broke over the town and
still the man walked along the river
front until he was drenched to the
marrow in his shivering bones.
I'm the gray of the morning, with
sheets of rain still falling upon the
scene, Judge Bertram left the game,
$lO,OO0 winner, and walked down 10
the river front where his impecunious
friend was shivering.
" I expected to find you in the
river said the judge. 4 didn't signal,
because L made it all in a heap.
=" If it hadn't been for the rain said
his friend, I might have jumped, but
I said to myself, What's the use, you
are already wet through and if the
rain keeps on you'll drown on land
1.-The judge called a hack and the
two drove to the best hotel in town
and had breakfast. They left town to-
gether. A year later they owned one
of the biggest cattle ranches in Colo
RADIO.
1T was the judges last game, and
it was the last time his friend ever did
any walking. Bertram is dead, but his
partner has interests stretching across
the continent, N Hawaii and Japan"

THE BEEF TRCsT,s DEMURRER.

1t seems that in the demurrer which
the beef trust has filed to the complaint
of the government the facts set up by
the government are practically admit
ted. 1t does not follow. however, that
if the demurrer is decided adversely to
the trust these admissions will be
made in the answer 1t will file. There
fore the admissions of the demurrer
are not to be taken to mean that the
meat packers say that the allegations
set forth in the complaint are true.
They simply mean that assuming that
the allegations are true they are not
sufficient to constitute a cause of
action-are not sufficient under the law
to justify making permanent the in
junction which has been issued.
1t may be long time before the
merits of the case will be reached. If
the decision on the demurrer should be
against the government 1t is probable
that the government would Immediate
~ amend it's complaint, if it could do
so consistently with the facts in its
possession. If the decision should be
against the meat packers the probab-
ility is they would appeal from it. In
that event there would hardly be a
trial on the merits until final de-
cision on the demurrer was obtained.
How long it would take to reach such
a decision it is of course impossible to
say, but certainly a year or two.
1t is not improbable therefore
that the question as to whether
or not there is meat trust
will net be reached before the
| next presidential campaign is well
under way. 1t is the policy of the
meat packers doubtless to keep the
case in the courts as long as possible
at least long enough to enable them
to get into shape to meet an adverse
| decision. 1t has been stated several
times recently that they are now en-
gagged in forming a great corporation
like the United States Steel Corpor-
| ation--a corporation which. it is claim
ed, is not violation of the anti trust
| law.

Senator Beveridge is giving the Re-
publican Congressional Campaign Com
mittee some uneasiness. He has ac-
oepted invitations to speak in Texas
during the campaign, and made known
his determination to keep the appoint
ments. Now, the Republican mana
gers are desirous of choking Mr. Bev-
eridge off. They are perfectly well
aware that the young man from In
diana would not be able to change any
precincts by an invasion of the Lone
Star state, and that his presence there
would only arouse Senator Bailey to
renewed activity. Beveridge on the
Texas stump would be apt to reopen
the trouble between Bailey and him
self, which the friends of the two are
anxious should be smoothed over. But
whether the Republican managers will
be able to influence Mr.. Beveridge re-
mains to be seen. Regarding himself
as a man Of destiny, he is anxious to
try his powers of spellbinding wherever
and as often as may be possible.

A NEW ENTERPRIsE.

The formation of the Savannah Dry
Dock and Ship Building Company is
another and big step along the line
| of Savannah's commercial develop
ment. A dry dock, one that will &C
| commodate the largest vessels that
visit this port, is something that has
| long been greatly needed. 1t is very
often that ships passing Tybee, hav-
| are in need of repairs and almost as
often that ships passing Tybee hay-
/ ing suffered from storms or from ac-
| cidents to machinery, would put in
| here TO have their disabilities removed
! if there were the necessary facilities
A dry dock of the proportions of the
one projected will call attention to Sa-
vannah and increase her commercial
! Importance, which is already far
! greater than that of any other South
Atlantic port. 1t will have the effect
of drawing to her other investments
of capital because capitalists favor
those places which have been found
by other capitalists to possess adj
vantages for business and industrial
undertakings.
1t is the purpose of the Savannah
Dry Dock and Ship Building Company
to build not only a dry dock, but also
to erect plant for shipbuilding,
though attention will at first be con-
centrated on the dry dock. We have
no doubt, however, that the shipbuild-
ing plant will not be delayed long after
the dry dock is built. 1t has long been
the consensus of opinion of those who
have given the matter consideration,
that there should be a shipyard On
the South Atlantic coast, and there
is no question but that this is the very
best place south of Norfolk for a ship
building plant.
Savannah's channel to the sea has
now a depth of twenty-six feet and
work on the plan for a twenty-eight-
foot channel will soon be begun, the
money for it having been appropriate
ed. The fresh water here is an excel
lent cleanser of foul bottoms of vessels
and materials for the construction of
either steel or wooden ships can be OBJ
tanned here as cheaply as at any of
the North Atlantic shipyards. Indeed,
when Birmingham begins making ma
terials for steel ships it is probable
that she will furnish them, owing to
the cheapness of her iron ore and
coal, at lower prices than they are
furnished to Northern shipbuilders by
Pittsburg. And Savannah is connect
ed now with Birmingham by two sys-
TENS of railroad and will soon be con-
nected by a third.
1t is a safe prediction that the be-
ginning of the construction of dry
dock will quickly be followed by the
establishment of various other enter
prises. The confidence shown in Sa-
vannah's future by those who compose
the Savannah Dry Dock and Ship
Building Company will inspire others
with like confidence. and there need
be no surprise if her progress during
the next few years exceeds the ex-
pectations of her most enthusiastic
citizens

A preventive of sea sickness advo-
Gated by a party of Frenchmen. who
recently demonstrated its efficacy to
their own satisfaction, is total alb
ocean. The party arrived in New
York a few days ago, having eaten
only vegetables and cereals on the
way across, and not one of them suf-
fered the slightest qualms. 1t occurs.
by the way that the trip was an ex-
ceptionally smooth one, and that not
one of the meat-eaters aboard was
seasick, hence the value of the demon
stration is not so conclusive as it
might have been.

Brander Matthews. as a playwright
has always refused to accept free seats
for theatrical entertainments from 9th
err authors, feeling that the acceptance
of such courtesies leads to log rolling
even among the most conscientious
writer's, says the Philadelphia Times.
Last season. however. he was unable
to buy seats for the first performance
of a new and pretentious play, and,
as he desired to be present, he used
the seats sent him by the author. The
following morning, several students in
his class at Columbia College asked
his opinion of the entertainment. He
answered:
well. gentlemen. the play was in
four acts. / was there as the author S
guest. The first act was bad; the aud
fence, cold. The second act was
worse; the audience Missed: / sat quiet
ly. The third act-well. when the cur
tain fell. went to the box -office.

turned and joined in the Kissing"

Atlanta has it's third daily newspa-
per, the News, the first issue of which
appeared on Monday. Its editor-in-
chief is that silver-tongued orator
John Temple Graves, who, as he writes
as we'll as he speaks, will give its edi-
torial columns character and tone. He
Is an editor whose experience goes
back so many years that it bellies his
youthful looks. Mr.. Charles Daniel. a
gentleman well known in newspaper
circles, is the managing editor of the

newspaper man of experience, is the
business manager. Atlanta had al
ready two daily newspapers. but can
doubtless afford a third, since the CITY

that extent the enterprise may be a

Verusing to make up the deficiencies
incurred by the low price and have a
profit is a question that is to be dem

undertaken the work of esta blishing

situation, and it is not for others to
criticize. The Morning News wishes
its new contemporary and namesake,
and its editors and proprietors, good
luck with their undertaking.

Mr.. Kipling is of the opinion that
young Englishmen should be taught
rife shooting the same as are the A
B C's." Such a course. he is sure,
would not produce barbarians. "Ev-
erything must be subordinated to
shooting quickly" There are those
who think England's prestige should
be based upon her civilization and her
arts of peace. But the truculent poet
and story-teller can see no safe foun-
dalton for his country but that based
upon powder and shot, hence no doubt
he would have the shooting class in
stituted in the public schools on the
same footing with the spelling and
reading classes.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
issued an order that inhabitants of
Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands
shall be regarded as aliens when they
come to this country, and be treated
as immigrants from any other foreign
country are treated. This, it is said,
is for the purpose of testing the ques-
ton of the relations which the island
ers bear to the United States. 1t seems
little odd, by the way that the Porto
Ricans and the Filipinos should have
been punched, or put upon the same
plane. There is considerable difference
between the two peoples in race, and
the Porto Ricans have in good spirit
and with good grace acknowledged the
sovereignty of the United States.

Mr.. William C. Whitney says that
If he MADE any such remark as that
in which the Republican papers have

use of the expression. The Republic

were to give it publicity without veri-
flying it. Meanwhile. II the Demo-
cratic party really had no issue OF its
own. il could make a fine campaign

1t appears that Mr.. Adolph Ochs is
developing, or has developed, into a
newspaper Napoleon. He is already
the owner of four magnificent newspa-
per properties, the Chattanooga
Times. the New York Times, the Phil
Public Ledger. and there is a runlor,
said to be well authenticated, to the
effect that he will shortly become the
owner of the New York Commercial
Advertiser and an influential paper in
Washington, the name of which has
not been given. 1t is the under
standing that the Commercial Ad-
vertiser will be made the afternoon
edition of the New York Times, and
it has been surmised that the Phila-
delphia Times will become the after
noon edition of the Public Ledger.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Ochs has just COM
pleted contracts for a new twenty
story home for his New York Times.
The building will cost something like
81. 000, 600, and will stand at the inter
section of Broadway, Seventh avenue
and Sixty-second street, in the triangle
facing Long Acre Square. A New York
special to a Tennessee paper, referring
to Mr.. Ochs' newspaper enterprises,
makes this rather doubtful statement:

time each one of the newspapers con-
trolled by Mr.. Ochs will boldly an
nounce its support of Grover Cleveland
