him TO be a savage"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
"Mr. Cleveland is Enthusiastically
sound, frank and forcible on the duty
of the Democrats to make the best
fight they can for control of the next
House. Victory, he says, is attained
by first driving in your enemies out
posts. Constant fighting is the law of
party survival, as it is the law of mil
itary success. But the real pith in the
veteran leaders counsel is the advice
to stick to the tariff reform issue, make
1t the hub, the center round which
all else shall revolve, the rallying cry,
the ground never to be surrendered
until our taxing system shall be made
just to the masses, the consumers. If
the opposition cannot get together and
fight it out on the lines here sketched
out, it cannot be gotten together at
all, and the leaders might as well sur
render in advance of the final pitched
battle of 1904"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
''The peoples chief magistrate, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, has brought to an end

Gus conflicts that ever threatened the
stability of government and the peace
of the country. That all the possible
evils of it, some of which were grave
beyond contemplation, were averted
solely by his patriotic purpose and his
indomotable strength of will is now a
page of our history. In other fields
of achievement Theodore Roosevelt has
won distinction, honor and the admira-
ton of his couutrymen, but in no pre-
vious endeavor or achievement did he
render them such patriotic and impor-
tant service--service for which they
should be so grateful-as he rendered
them when he made peace between

The Sample Sufficient.

The late Augustin Daily, in spite of
the gloom that ever seemed to envelop
him, had his pet story, which the few
persons who were at all intimate with
him personally must have heard over
and over again, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. 1t was about a big Jerseyman
who casting his eye along Broadway
for likely show" was attracted and
tempted by the highly-colored posters
announcing spectacular piece called
THE Forty Thieves" and determined
to spend the evening in the theater
where it was offered. He went to the
box office, laid down a SIS BILL and
asked for one of the best seats. A
punched coupon and SO were handed
him. When he asked what the ticket
cost and was told 50, it was evident
he had not calculated higher than half
a-dollar.
1.-TWO dollars to see The Forty
Thieves eh?" he repeated.
Eyes, SIR" courteously replied the
ticket-seller. please do not block the
window"
We'll, keep your burned seat!" ex-
claimed the Jerseyman, picking up the
50 change. 'I don't think I care to see
the other thirty-ninei"

Personal.

The Sultan OF Turkey, according to
stantinople, has finally dismissed EMS
Pasha, the vail of Aleppo, notorious as
the organizer of the atrocities at Dia-
bekir in 1895. when $500 Armenians
were massacred. For more than two
years the British embassy, supported by
French and Austrian representations,
has been constant in its efforts to have
EMS removed.
King Edwards second daughter,
Princess Charles Of Denmark, is MAX
ing a success in literature from a roy
alist standpoint. She has written a
book, but 1t has not been printed. 1t
is circulated in manuscript among the
crowned heads of Europe. Not to be
outdone by her royal literary aunt,
Queen Helena of Italy has written a
poem, which is to appear shortly in
the German review, Berliner Leben. 1t
is entitled 1.-THE Other Crown" and
gives the reverse of the medal of roy
atty as usually seen by popular eyes.
Doc" Brown of Morgansfield KY,
who represents his district in the State
Legislature, is one of Kentucky
unique characters. To illustrate a point
in a recent speech he gave the follow
ing account of his courtship: Take
my advice and never give a woman
anything she can't eat and never make
love to her out of an ink bottle. Why,
when / courted my wife ! Just grab
bed hold of her and said: 'Sallie, you
are the sweetest thing on earth and
your beauty battles the skill of man
and subdueS his ferocious nature and
I got her."

Cork Leg Made Him a Hero.

Capt. Tom Lord Of the Twentieth In
fantry Regiment has figured as the
hero of several amusing anecdotes, due
to the fact that he wore an artificial
leg, the result of his having had one
leg amputated just below the knee,
says the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
When walking he lmped very little
and a person who did not know would
never have suspected that he was
minus a leg. Some years ago at the
Standing Rock Indian agency the
Sioux were indulging in the sun dance.
In the sun dance the bucks, in their
war paint and feathers, arrange them
selves facing the setting sun, and at
the appointed time began their wild
dancing, slashing themselves the while
with their knives, so that they soon be-
come covered with blood. This is ac-
companied by chanting in a monotone,
each warrior calling on the Great Spir-
it. the sun, the white man and all his
fellow bucks to witness his bravery.
The dance keeps up until the Indians
fall from sheer exhaustion. 1t was
deemed advisable to have troops on
hand in case any trouble should occur,
and, accordingly, Capt. Lords COM
pany was ordered to the agency.
On the evening of Lords arrival at
the agency he met a young brave who
had cut himself more than usual in the
dance. Lord asked him in a contempt
uous voice if he thought he was a
brave man, to which the Indian re-
piled with gutteral ugh" The officer
then told him if he and the other In
dams wanted to see an exhibition of
the white mans bravery they should
come into the agency at a certain time
the next dav.
At the appointed time Lord entered
the room, to find it well filed with In
dams, sitting or rather squatting on
the floor. Going into the middle of the
room he talked to the Indians about
their sun dance and their bravery in
a contemptuous manner and wound up
by calling them a lot of old women,
which, to the Indian, is the greatest
insult. When he had them sufficiently
worked up and the Indians were rest
less he said:
See, my red brothers; see the white
mans bravery"
He then raised his wooden leg and
drove his sharp hunting knife through
so that it came out on the other side.
See, too" he added, 81 am a medi-
cine man, for no blood comes"
This was enough for the Indians. One
by one without a word they rose and
walked out of the room, each bucks
face showing plainly his respect for the
bravery Of the white officer BY night
the Indian village had disappeared and
not a Sioux was to be seen about the
agency.

Turnip Time.

TITS disgraceful the way children are
taught" she began, with painful dis
regard of tact and diplomacy, says
London Answers. Their studies are so
jumbled together that they don't know
when they have finished with arith-
metic and taken up geography. The
other day Bessie came home and saio
that the teacher had stopped in the
middle of the singing lesson, right in
the middle of a song, to ask how many
turnips were in a peck"
You must be mistaken" said the as
tonished principal
"No, ma'am. Bessie told me, and
Bessie never lies" said Bessie,s moth
err, with complacency that irritated
the atmosphere.
The teacher was sent for. She denied
that she had interrupted the music les
son to satisfy her curiosity in regard
to turnips and pecks. She went back
with unkindly feelings, but three min
utes later she returned smiling.
81 know now what she meant" said
she. 81 asked the children how many
beats there were in a measure"

Salvation Army. as q matter Of fact,
rag time" to very excellent purpose
in its work. 1t has adapted religious
poems to the worldly" tunes and used
them with good effect. It is by no
means uncommon to hear the Army's
street choirs singing the most serious
words to the latest popular tunes. and
the words seem to lose nothing of their
religious character, except possibly in
the minds of the frivolous.
In the consideration of the subject of
religious music, it should be borne in
mind that there has been a change in
religious opinion and practice since the
days of the Puritans and the Wesleys.
The church was formerly rather dole
full institution, and religion was al
most synonymous with asceticism. The
songs were rather lugubrious than joy
full, and the services and sermons were
rather oppressive than uplifting. Now
things are different. We are taught
that religion brings light and happi-
ness and joy into the life; that it
should influence us to lift up our hearts
in glad, cheerful songs of praise. Are
these songs to be limited by the meas
ure in which they are written? Is ma
jestic music, splendid harmony, to be
outlawed because it is written in meas
ures which may be danced, or because
1t forms a. part of the score of a
worldly opera? 1t seems we have
arrived at an age when we can afford
to be more liberal and take for our
churches and Sunday-schools good
music wherever we may find it. There
is very little If any really well-writ-
ten music, however light in character
it may be, that is of itself pernicious.
Practically all genuine harmony is ele-
waiting.

A COSTLY CITIZEN.

j. e. Addicks is proving himself to
be a costly citizen for the little state
of Delaware. He insists upon being
elected one OF her senators, and for a
couple of years or so he has been able
to prevent an election for senator.
The Republicans have control of the
Legislature and he has control, ap-
pRrently, of enough of the Republican
members to prevent an election.
Now the outlook is that the Demo-
Gratis will carry the Legislature at the
approaching election, and the Repub-
lican leaders are getting alarmed
about Delaware's two senator's, both
senatorships being vacant. Therefore
1t is announced that, in all probability,
the Governor-he is a Republican
will call the Legislature together in
extra session for the purpose of elect
ing two senators.
And Addicks will be responsible for the
expense to which the state will be put
for this extra session. If he had been
out of the way senators would have
been elected long ago. 1t is by no
means certain that there will be an
election if there is an extra session.
Addicks is still in the field, and the
opposition to him is as great as ever
1t was.
1t would be a good thing for the
state If the Republican members hos
tile to him should still refuse to be
bulldozed into voting for him. In that
event the chances are that two DEM
ocrats would be elected and Delaware
would have representation in the Sem
ate that would be creditable to her.

SOME FINE BUILDINGS.

Savannah is to have quite an addi-
ton TO the number of her really fine
buildings in the near future. The
building for a branch bank, which the
Citizens Bank is erecting on Liberty
street, near West Broad, will be a
handsome one. 1t will be five stories
in hight, and in some respects will be
a handsomer building than that of the
parent institution.
Then there is to be a magnificent
eight-story building on the corner of
Bull and Congress street. Work on it
will begin early next year. 1t is to be
the home of the Germania Bank. On
the corner of Broughton and Bull
streets a superb ten-story building for
the National Bank of Savannah and
the OglethOrpe Savings and Trust
Company is to be erected. The plans
for the Germania Bank building are al
reay drawn, and it is the understand
ing that plans for the National Bank
of Savannah building have been called
for.
A hospital for the Marine Hospital
Service has been authorized by Con-
gress, the money having been appro-
priated. The government owns the
lot the hospital is to occupy and there
is no good reason, as far as we know.
why the construction of the building
should not be begun at an early day.
Here then are four magnificent
buildings that are to be erected with
ing the next twelve months, or, at
least, within the next year and half.
They will be a great addition to the
city.
One of the chief reasons why the
people of this city have a feeling of
satisfaction in regard to these build
ings is that the buildings emphasize the
Importance of the city and indicate
that there Is confidence in the city's
future. 1t will be noticed that three
of the buildings are to be erected by
banks. Bankers are not in the habit
of putting their money where there is
doubt about its return. They look at
the situation carefully before they
make a decision. All three, or rather
in course of erection, or have bought
sites for buildings, are entirely salts
fed with the outlook for Savannah's
future. And they have good reasons
to be. Their confidence will inspire
confidence in others, and we shall not
be surprised to see more building in
this city in the next year than in any
previous year of it's history. The fame
of these bank buildings will go
abroad, asd Savannah will be sought
by those who are seeking places in
which to make profitable investments.
Unless we are very much mistaken
there will be a hardening of real es-
tate values, and lots will not be bought
six months from now as cheaply as
they can be bought at present.
And the Marine Hospital Service
would never have recommended this
port for hospital building and Con-
gress would not have appropriated the
necessary money if all of the indica-
tons had NOT been in the direction of
Savannah's steady and solid growth in
business, wealth and population.

How difficult 1t is to live down a
bad reputation was illustrated in New
York the other day, during the investi-
cation Of the charges against Fire
Chief Croker. One of the witnesses
was John Rush. supervising engineer
of the department. No sooner was he
upon the stand than the prosecuting
attorney sought to discredit his testi-
mony by proving that he was an ex-
convict. He had been convicted of
grand larceny in the second degree in
1888 and sentenced to the penitentiary.
from which he was pardoned by the
Governor. 1t appears that he returned
to New York and has since been living
an honest life. So able a man is he
in his trade of machinist that he has
worked himself up to a place of re-
sponsibility in the fire department. But
his appearance on the witness stand
was the signal for the lawyers to at
tack him and his record was dragged
into the newspapers again. He had
signally failed to live it down."

MITCHELL,s RESPONSE,

Unless all the circumstances are TAX
en- into consideration the response of
Mr.. Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers, to President Roosevelt
announcement that he had appointed
commission to settle the coal strike
issues, seems pitched in a key not alto
gether in harmony with the situation.
He appears to think it incumbent upon
MIN to crow over what appears to him
to be a great victory for the miners
He calls attention to the offer made
by him to arbitrate at the very be-
ginning of the trouble, and says that
if it had been accepted there would
not have been a strike. He indirectly
taunts the operators with the fact
that, although they arrogantly refused
to listen to the offer to arbitrate, they
were finally forced to accept arbitra-
ton, and he says that the miners for
give them for their arrogance.
1t is practically certain that Mr..
Mitchell would not have assumed a
tone of this sort if he did not have
point to gain by doing so. He is
to humiliate an opponent after he has
obtained victory over him.
The truth no doubt is that Mr.
Mitchell understands that there is dis
satisfaction in the ranks of the min
ers over the fact that the miners union
did not get distinct recognition, and
that the men employed to take the
nj Of CD,
| charged. Therefore, when the conven-
| ton of miners meets tomorrow there
is likely to be much opposition to the
acceptance of the plan of arbitration.
Just how strong this opposition will
be Mr.. Mitchell does not know. His
purpose is to do what he can to les
sen it before the convention meets.
One step in that direction he took in
his response to the Presidents notifi-
cation. He lets it be understood that
the miners gained great victory, and
that they have every reason to re-
joice. In fact, the impression crops
out in that response that the miners
union gained a stronger foothold than
it ever had before if in fact, it did
not succeed in getting recognition.
The response, read with this under
standing of the situation, is unobjec-
tionable. 1t is not probable that the
plan of arbitration will be rejected.
The leaders seem to be on the side
of accepting it. That being the case
it is practically certain that the min
ers will be at work next Thursday.
