as ever in his conviction that the canal
will at last be built across Nicaragua In
stead OF Panama, because we cannot get
a perfect title to the Panama property
There Is much discussion in France over
the matter.
In a recent interview published by the
Paris Figaro Charles De Lesseps said that
the Panama canal can be completed with
out locks in six years. He was in charge
for his father of the work done there by
the original company and should know
what he is talking about when he states
that $252, 600 was expended by that
company.
He considers that the United States got
a great bargain when Il secured the right
TO take the entire assets of the company
for 100000. Much of the work that was
done years ago on this great enterprise
is stIIl in good condition and, according
to Charles De Lesseps, s15O.00oOO0 will
complete the canal with locks. He per-
'sists. however. in his preference for the
original plan Of building II without locks
and predicts that IT will be finally adopted.
The son rejoiees in the prospect of see
ing his fathers pet project carried out
would be pleased also. He adds: This is

II seems to be conceded that Colombia
will interpose no serious objection to any
thing that may be necessary to our gov
ernment's canal work on its territory. In
fact, all Colombian difficulties that seemed
not long ago to loom up In the way OF this
magnificent undertaking are disappearing
rapidly.
But there is very general and perhaps
weIl-founded scepticism as to the average
estimates of the time necessary to the
completion Of the work.
The opinion OF Charles De Lesseps that
the canal can be completed in six years
is ridiculed by eminent engineers, both in
h rance and the United States.

War to the knife between the president
and the obstructionists of Cuban recip-
rocity seems certain.
The New York Tribune, one of the
presidents stanchest supporters. declares
that the enemies of his Cuban policy are
in a conspiracy to ruin the island first,
and then steal II"
This is very ferocious attack upon a
large number of prominent Republicans
in both houses Of congress to come from
the leading organ Of their party.
Senator Burton, of Kansas, has added
fuel to the flames by asserting that most
of the Republican senator's who posed as
friends OF the Cuban reciprocity bill were
hypocrites, and that there are not Is
Republican senators out of the "a who are
honestly in favor Of the present bill"
President Roosevelt is said to realize
that he has been tricked by some men
upon whom he relied, and his wrath
against them burns hot
All subterfuges and DISCUSSES that may
have been resorted to by the presidents
pretended supporters win be exposed be-
fore long.
The last session of congress was marked
by an almost unprecedented amount of
strife among Republicans, but we may
expect to see a conflict In that divided
political household at the next session
that will make its former wrangles seem
tame indeed.
President Roosevelt has need of all the
strenuosity that his most ardent admirers
have ever given him credit for.

ENLIsTMENrs ron PENSIONS.

The Journal published Sunday a state
ment relative to the rush for pensions by
volunteers in the war with Spain. which
would be absolutely incredible IL it had
not been compiled from the records of the
pension office. ...
The official figures are given for FIVE
regular and five volunteer regiments who
were in the United States army during the
war with Spain.
The regular regiments are the Sixth,
Seventh, Sixteenth, Twenty-fourth and
Thirtieth infantry. The volunteer regi-
ments are the Thirty-third and Thirty
fourth Michigan, the First District of Co
lumbia, the Ninth Massachusetts, and the
Eighth Ohio.
It is shown that claims for pensions on
account Of service in the war with Spain
have been filed by no less than 1881 men
who enlisted in these volunteer regiments,
though not single man in any one OF
the FIVE was killed. or even wounded, and
not one was missing.
Many more than half the entire number
of troops who were in these commands
made break for the pension office soon
after the lighting in which they took no
part. e-.
Not a drop of blood was shed for their
country by any man in any one Of these
five regiments. Not one Of them carried
home a scar received in battle. but nearly
three thousand Of them have Joined In
scandalous raid upon the treasury.
The record Of the five named regiments
of regulars during the Spanish war and
since contrasts very. glaringiy with that
Of these five gallant volunteer regiments.
These regiments of regulars had % men
killed, All wounded and 10 missing, and
from all five regiments have come only 764
applications fer pensions.
The only reasonable conclusion from
these figures is that a very large proper
ton of the five volunteer regiments nam
ed enlisted for the money which they
calculated to be in the job.
They knew that a. war between the
United States and Spain could not be a
very serious matter and must be over IN
a short time, and so they rushed into It
as a good speculation.
It certainly proved to be so for these
unscathed heroes.
Not one OF their entire number smelled
gunpowder, or received so much as a
scratch. But 1887 are now begging for
pensions which viii, II granted, cost the
country millions of dollars to be paid out
for nothing and worse than nothing.
Such pensions viii disgrace what should
be roll Of honor through and through.
We are glad to know that the fame Of
no regiment that went from the south to
the war with Spain has been besmirched
as the records show the i've regiments we
named have been.

WOMEN I'M Japan,

About the best evidence that Japan has
in recent years made marvellous progress
I'm civilization is to be found in the great
~ increased respect for the rights OF wo-
men.
Thirty years ago japanese women had
practically no rights before the law; now
they have many. Their emancipation has
progressed remarkably during this gem
Grafton. Already Japan is setting an ex-
ample in this respect to some nations who
boast much more loudly than she does
about civilization and refinement.
A recent instance in Yokohama indicates
10 what extent this real reform has ad-
vanced.
A japanese wife refused 10 perform GER
tain labor at her husbands command be-
cause she considered Il degrading. II a
Japanese wife had taken that stand 80
years ago she would probably have been
beaten into submission. But the Japan OF
today Is not the Japan Of that period.
When the husband OF this protesting wife
attempted to divorce her on account Of
disobedienee. she laid her case before the
court, which took her side. declaring that
she was not bound to obey demands OF
her husband which were clearly unreason-
able.
The liberal japanese press halls this de-
cision as a righteous victory for women,
and declares that it viii be Of immense
benefit TO many wives who have been OPP
pressed by brutal husbands.
We wonder If japan has any laws like
those Of 50 Of the IS states OF this dazzling
center Of civilization which give a father
an authority over his children superior TO
that Of their mother, without regard TO the
relative parental qualifications Of the two?

OUR sPAr WITH JAPAN.

The relations between the United States
and Japan for more than fifty years have
been so cordial that whatver differences
may arise between them now will surely
be settled in a friendly way.
The two governments, however, have
conflicting claims to Marcos Island in the
Pacific. which contains very valuable gu
ano deposits. The island lies about
thousand miles west OF Japan and about
$500 miles from our shores.
1t is contended that the island was dis
covered thirteen years ago by Captain
Rosehill, citizen of the United States,
who promptly raised his country's flag
over 1t and wrote out paper setting forth
his claim to the discovery.
But japanese have settled on Marcos
Island and taken possession OF 1t.
Rosehil complained to our state depart
ment and asked its protection.
He was informed that the United States
could interfere no further than to con-
firm the priority Of his claim. If he can
prove It.
The impatient captain. however, has set
out from Honolulu, two thousand miles
away to assert his own claim to Marcos
Island. He goes on a schooner with a
small force OF men.
The japanese government, hearing OF
this movement, sent an American-built
battleship with a message from our gov
eminent that he must not attempt at
present to evict the japanese occupants Of
the island.
When Rosehill arrives he will be con-
fronted with this order and will, Of course
have TO desist.
The Japanese claim that they discovered
the island as far back as 1873 and for
mally annexed II in 1898.
II is therefore a question of fact to be
settled.
II Captain Rosehill can prove that he
is the real discoverer OF the island our
government will take and hold II.
II, on the contrary, Japan can establish
her right OF discovery the United States
viii recognize 1t.
There does not seem TO be the slightest
possibility Of fight over the matter

IMMENSE FARM VALUES.

The value Of the farm property in the
United States is so enormous that very
few persons know how many figures 1t re-
quires to express II.
The extent to which It has increased be-
tween 1890 and 1900 is astounding.
But II is not after all surprising that a
country containing three million square
miles of territory. by far the greater part
of which is productive, and more than
seventy-ive millions of people should
make showing of agricultural wealth
that can be approached by no other ma
ton.
In 1900 there were four times as many
farms in the United States as there were
in 1850. The increase OF the number of
farms between 1890 and 1900 was % per
cent, a rate that no other country approx
imated.
The increase in the value OF farms in the
United States has been as remarkable as
that OF their number.
In 1900 the number Of farms was 5,73s .657
and their total value was $l6.674 694,274.
The value Of farm property increased 24s
per cent from 1890 to 1900. thus keeping
pace almost exactly with the increase of
the number of farms.
The increase Of farm values was Z per

me it has rained here q days and
they look for 10 more. but their
crops stand the excess of rain better
than the southern crops have stood the
continual droughts. The crops are the
finest in Missouri, Illinois. Indiana and
Kentucky, where the rains have not
been so excessive. The corn acreage is
largest in history Of United States,
and promises largest yield per acre.
The railroad travel was never heavier
then now. All the hotels in Chicago
are crowded, and this has been al

gust nearly everybody is either going

crowded, street cars crowded. passen-
ger trains crowded and depots crow

My wife and two daughters Joined me
IN Cairo last Wednesday. They are
right out of the Georgia drought and
heat and they are tired OF the rain and
cool atmosphere already. We spent one
day In Chicago and visited some OF the
mammoth department stores. We
dined at the restaurant IN Marshall
Fields great store and the table was
as immense as the great store. The
service and the grub were immense.
I said as / sat at the table with them
that was glad there were rich folks
in the world. No poor man could run
such a store or such q restaurant as
that, and prices were so moderate.
The store itself dazed us Georgians.
We bought 81 worth of dry goods, ate
50 worth Of grub and got out. 1t look

cent greater than that Of the country's
population. ~
The statement of the census bureau to
the effect that the total value of farm
products was s2.6 per cent greater in 1900
than It was in 1890 seems incredible until
the qualification which the bureau places
on 1t is considered.
1t is explained that the enumeration was
much more complete in 1900 than 1t had
ever been before.
The big item Of farm animals sold and
slaughtered was not included in the farm
values Of 1890. but was taken In by the
census of 1900 and increased those values
40 per cent.
The wonderful growth of farm interests
has not, however, been sufficient to check
the trend OF population to the cities.
The comparative growth of Chicago and
that of the state of Illinois is a striking
illustration in point. Chicago, with 1.O99, $50
people in 1890. had 1.69e.575 in 1900, gain of
SOS. TBS. Illinois, outside Of Chicago. start
ing with 2,726,5O1 people in 1890. had S,l22,-
975, a gain of only $685. 74. in 1900.
Many other comparisons of like charac-
ter and hardly less impressive could be
made. p
Another and an even more alarming ten
dency is the rapid increase Of wealth In
few hands.
There is now one concern in the United
States that has a capitalization one
twelfth as great as the total value Of all
the farms in the country.
Every year the number Of immense for
tunes increases and there is a correspond
ing increase Of the number Of very poor
persons.
The drift of population to cities and of
wealth into the hands Of comparatively a
few persons is one OF the greatest misfor-
tunes and gravest dangers Of our time.

OUR JURY SYSTEM.

A determined effort Is being made in Illl-
nois TO abolish the requirement Of
unanimity for the verdict OF a jury.
Some OF the leading lawyers OF that
state have Joined in a recommendation
that three-fourths OF a jury may make a
verdict in civil suits and the proposed
change will be considered by the next
legislature.
A jury reform like that now being advo-
Gated In Illinois has been proposed in
other states but. so far as we have OBJ
served. has not found much favor in any
OF them.
The question has been discussed at sew
eral meetings OF the Georgia Bar Associa-
ton. but there is reason TO believe that
a large majority OF the lawyers OF this
state and a stu larger proportion of the
people are decidedly opposed to any de-
parture from the rule Of unanimity for
Jurors.
The south Is notably the most conserva-
tive part Of the country. and it will be
a long time before any state in this sec
ton viii consent that the present jury
system shall be tempered with in any
way.
