 TACTICS

A dispatch from London tends to throw some additional light on the protracted struggle which the Boers are still carrying on in South Africa. The correspondent remarks that, by their persistence in refusing to con- slider any terms of settlement, except complete independence, the Boer rep resentatives in Europe are exposing themselves to the gravest suspicion in regard to their motives. The desire of certain continental powers that the war should continue indefinitely, in order that they may be enabled still further to profit in otber parts of the world by Great Britsin's disablement, Is too well known to be overlooked. Boer agents in Europe cannot complain if, when their conduct carries them beyond the bounds of practical things, observers begin to put two and two to- gether and grow suspicious.
 Boer sympa.hizers in the United States might with advantage make a note Of these remarks. If they are anxious to cmbarrass Great Britain, which has been a good friend of the United States during the past few years, and whose friendship we should again, doubtless, find very acceptable In case of further trouble, then they are certainly acting in a logical and consistent manner. If, however, they are merely endeavoring to express their sympathy for a ''dowD-trodden community" then they are as much on the wrong track as are the misguided Filipino sympathizers in Boston and other eastern centers of culture.

Jnt DtCADtNCt OF TMt HOUSE.

When the Nicaragua canal bill was passed by the House of Representa- tives the record of that body was con sidered to be of So little importance by it's own members that this important measure was allowed to go through by a viva voce vote. Such carelessness and indifference are typical The House acts formally. without any idea, apparently, of acting effectively. It is abdicating its functions and throw ing all responsibility upon the Senate, to which we must look for constructive legislation.
 The tendency is a leplorable one, and it is due to a coincidence of a change of methods with change of men. The methods which were intro- duced by Speaker Reed had manifest advantages when they were directed by . man of Mir. Reeds stamp. They brought about great gain in expe- dition without any loss of thorough ness, because the personal force back of them was positive in every way. There was an adequate effort to get at the bottom of public questions. a full sense of responsibility, power of in- itiative which was exercised in man. ner to command respect. If the des- potic leadership aroused enmity it com pelled the admiration of its foes and inspired the enthusiasm of its follow ing. The authority of the House never stood higher. and energy in stead of apathy marked its proceed ings.
 But the mere tyranny O: a party ma. jority cannot accomplish such results. It commands perfunctory support at best, and must be exceedingly irksome even to the majority itself when it is imposed by men of mediocre ability. The distinction can be illustrated by a contrast of such names as Reed and Crisp with Henderson and Richaadson
 Both majority and minority require real leadership under any system of rules, and there is no such leadership now. By virtue of his position at the head of the ways and means commit tee Mir. Payne is called the Replican leader on the floor of the House, but he would have been lost in the storm of an old fashioned debate, and his committee work goes simply because the majority feels itself bound by a committee report. He ranks below Dingley as Dingley ranked below Me Kinley. On the Democratic side there is no one to compare with the eloquent and scholarly Wilson, with Mills, with Morrison, or with that most lucid of debaters and very able speaker, John c. Carlisle.
 Whatever the cause there has been a general deterioration in the person nel, and it is reflected in the legisla tion which is passed up to the Senate for revision.
 At present all legislative initiative in the House is a farcial sham. Bills are tried on the House as plays are said to be tried on a dog. Under the leadership of the speaker and Mir. Payne the House goes through the motions of passing them up to the Sen ate, where they are rejected or licked into shape. Whenever it comes to difference between the two branches the Senate always insists, while the House as invariably recedes.
 So chronic has become the Houses habit of receding that no one looks for 1t to inaugurate or insist on any line of policy or of legislation.-Reeord-H a1d

SYRUP BILL a GOOD MEASURE

Probably but few bills passed by the
Legislature have had for the general
public the interest that the pure syrup
bill, passed recently by the Senate,
has. It's result can not be other than
beneficial both to the consumer, who
will be enabled to get the pure syrup,
admittedly the best in the country, and
to the cane-grower and manufacturer
as well, for pure syrup will find wider
market and bring better prices.
The material chiefly used to adulter-
ate the syrup is glucose. One of the
peculiar features brought out in the eff
fort to get the bill through the House
was an opposition from some of the
manufacturers themselves who had
been taught to believe that the pure
syrup could not be made cheap enough
TO compete with other syfups IN some
of the markets, an argument that had
originated with, and been propagated
by, the middle men.
In thus opposing the bill the manu-
facturers followed very short-sighted
policy, said a gentlemen thoroughly
acquainted with the situation, for, he
continued, the pure syrup will readily
bring a price even in competition, that
will continue to make its manufacture
most profitable, and will drive from
the market the connections that have
been masquerading under the name of
Georgia cane syrup.

THE SUMNER SESSIONS.

The passage of the summer sessions
bill gives the present legislature three
sessions, and it is is stated that each of
these sessions will be of fifty days du-
ration. There was belief in some
quarters, it is stated, that only twenty
five days would be consumed in 1908
and the same time in 1904.
cit is safe to assert that each Of the
summer sessions will be of fifty days
duration. The result will be to give
the present Legislature $50 instead Of
100 days, and each member a salary Of
5000 instead of $500.
Another effect Of the bill will be to
extend the terms Of the present COVER
nor and state house officers for eight
months. The next election will not be
held until October, 1904, after the last
session of the present general assembly
and eight months before the next one
convenes. The present governor and
state house officers, therefore, viii have
to hold over until the new ones can
qualify, which will be in June, 1905,

AN EXPERIMENT IN GEORGIA.

The franchise tax bill as originally
introduced by Mr.. Murphey Gambler,
the distinguished member from De-
Kalb, was adopted during the last
hours of the session of the general as
sembly after one of the hardest fought
battles ever fought on the floor of a
Legislative assembly in Georgia The
passage Of this bill will cost the street
railways of Atlanta about $4,000
year and street railroads of Savannah
about Sc, 900. 1t is estimated that the
additional tax that will be collected
from the two cities named will be
about $40. 600 to $4,000 from Atlanta
and from $1,000 to $40, 900 from the Sa-
vannah company The Macon lines
and the Augusta lines will pay in pro-
portion, as will the Columbus lines.
Georgia is the first state in the south
to pass a law taxing the franchises of
public utility corporations. New York,
New Jersey and one or two other states
in the north and west have such laws,
but they have been untried in the
south. Therefore, it is impossible to
say what will be the result of the law
passed by the present general assem-
bly,.
The passage of this act is looked up
on as the most important work done at
the present session and there is a great
deal Of interest to know what the re-
turn will be to the state as a result of
it. It is impossible to tell what reve-
nue. the state will receive from this
source. There is a prevailing belief
that it will add many millions to the
taxable values in Georgia; many who
have given the question much study
say the increase will be small in com
parison to what is expected 1t is
pointed out that in New York state,
where the value of corporation runs
up into the billions, only something
over $4,000, goo was added to taxable
values. Comparatively speaking, how
ever, many look for betterresults from
the Georgia law
The operations of the law will be
awaited with a great deal Of interest,
but it Will be some time next fall, at
the earliest, before it can be known
what results will be expected. 1t may
be that the law will have to run the
gamut of the courts, in which event
the final effect may not be known I'M
til the following year. How is a fran
chise going to be valued? everybody is |
asking, and every move made under
the bill will be closely watched.

out good reason, for his meddling in
the coal strike and his vague "policy"
in dealing with trusts. The Sun is a
trust organ, it is true, but it presents
reasons for it's faith which its oppo-
nents have difficulty in answering.

Abuse wins no fights. The reckless
use of it, however, sometimes betrays
the weakness of those who indulge in
it. Men confident of the soundness of
their position and assured of victory,
rarely ever resort to abuse, mendacity
and prejudice to accomplish their ends.
1t is only the fellow who is beaten who
founders and berates his fellows.
