AN OBJECT LESSON.

Prohibition in Kansas is an object
lesson from which Georgia Democrats,
who want state prohibition, ought to
learn something. We are sure if they
were to study state prohibition as it
presents itself in Kansas they would
not asked for it in this state.
We have pointed out time and time
again that there is more liquor con-
sumed in Kansas in proportion to the
population than there is in Georgia.
In fact, that is the case in every other
prohibition state. This is shown by
the number of liquor licenses issued
by the general government. We have
presented the figures on this point sew
eral times and there is no use in re-
peating them.
We are calling attention to prohibi
tion in Kansas again simply to i'm
press upon our readers the fact that
on Thursday last the Democratic state
convention of that state adopted a
resolution providing for the submission
of the question of repeating the pro-
hibition law to the people. That shows
that the Democratic party of Kansas
is confident that the prohibitive law
has done more harm than good.
And there is no doubt it has, if the
best testimony obtainable is to be re-
lied upon. Only a day or two ago Gov.
Stanley, the prohibition Governor, said
that in future it would be matter Of
individual opinion as to whether the
prohibition law in that state would be
obeyed. In other words, it had been
found to be impossible to enforce the
law, and only those would obey it who
wanted to do so.
1t is because of the existence of
such a condition of affairs that the
Democrats of Kansas have taken
step in the direction of having the pro-
hibitive law repealed. And just when
they have come to the conclusion that
state prohibition is a bad thing, quite
a large number of Democrats of this
state are insisting that 1t shall be Civ
en- a trial in Georgia. If it has been
found impossible to enforce a prohibi-
tive liquor law in Kansas, in New
Hampshire, Vermont and Maine what
reason is there for thinking that such
a law could be enforced in Georgia?
That is a question prohibtionists do
not pretend to answer. In fact, they
cannot answer it.
And a state prohibitive law has the
effect of debauching the public con-
science in many ways. 1t encourages
the bribery of public officials, the Sc
cret selling of intoxicants, the selling
of alcoholic preparations and other
things The other day the Bangor
(Me) Commercial Qnd) called atten-
ton to a large seizure of liquor in
Lewiston of that state, because the
owner of it refused to pay to the Off
Gals, as a bride, more than $3.50 a
month for the privilege of selling IL
uuors without molestation. He had
been paying that amount, and great
er demand was made upon him. Sure
ly such condition of affairs is not de-
sired in this state.

A Yachting Experience of james
Gordon Bennett.

His yachting experience was of much
benefit to Mr. Bennett, as an incident
will show, says Pearson's.
What's the news this evening"?
asked Mr.. Bennett one night, dropping
into the city room.
"A National liner has just arrived
with the captain, crew, and passengers
of L'Amerique-nobody lost"
What are the circumstances? he
asked with animation.
The French boat became unman-
ageable; the engins broke down; Capt
Lamaria hoisted distress signals, and,
when the British steamer came along
abandoned his ship. Capt. Queen of
the British boat. put prize crew on
the derelict. Then the Frenchman
wanted to return to his ship and re-
sumo command; but the Britisher
wouldn't let him. So Frenchy is hot
mad and swears he will have the Brit
isher's commission taken from him.
Mr.. Bennett listened attentively,
finally exclaiming:
That's good! Now, what do you say?
Did the Englishman do right in stop
ping Lamaria's return? Will he be
sustained?"
The city editor took an even chance
and boldly said:
Capt. Queen is undoubtedly right;
the sea belongs to no man, and prop
erty once abandoned thereon goes to
the finder"
You are right" promptly added Mr.
Bennett. I'm tell you why 1 know
and he told the following characteristic
story:
Il had a party of friends on the
Dauntless. Becalmed off the Isle of
Wight, we drifted on a bar. Tide was
at the ebb and we were stuck for sew
eral hours. Somebody suggested that
we could kill snipe ashore; and, taking
guns, we left the yacht in the cutter.
l had a steward who thought a great
deal of me and wanted to do me a real
service. He saw a tug coming up the
Solent, called her, took a line, and had
my boat pulled off into deep water.
The captain of the tug at once libelled
the yacht for salvage. and the good in
tentions of my steward cost me 1900!
That's why know your opinion is cor
rect. The Herald must stand by the
Brtisher, because he is in the right.
Tell Levein I want him to say this, -
and he outlined the leading editorial
for the next morning.

THE IMMIGRATION MENACE,

The discussion of the immigra ton
bill in the House discloses the fact
that there is a wide difference of opin-
ion in that body as to the kind of Inn
migrants that should be shut out.
There is a disposition to be very lib
eral, but, at the same time, it is no
ticeable that Congress realizes that too
many undesirable immigrants are be-
ing admitted. Those particularly who
remain in the great cities and herd by
themselves, forming distinct foreign
communities, are regarded with dis
favor. In such communities sufficient
attention is not given to the education
of children, and hence all of the vices
and Objectionable habits which imm-
grants bring with them from Europe
are retained from generation to gener-
alton.
Not long ago Prof. Masaryk of the
University of Prague, and a member of
the Austrian Reichsrath, after a tour
of this country, expressed the opinion
that large percentage of the inmi-
grafton to the United States was
menace to the Republic. He saw the
foreign element sections of New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago and came to
the conclusion that they were preg-
nant with danger to those cities.
The educational test for admission
of immigrants is far from satisfac-
tory, because some of those who are
least able to read and write make the
best citizens, while those who hold the
views of anarchists are, as a rule,
pretty well educated. A better rule
would be to look with suspicion upon
those who intend to herd together in
cities or who propose to seek a living
in the coal mines. AS a general thing
such Immigrants are much less desir-
able than those who seek the country
and aim to make homes for themselves
on farms. Some of the very best citi-
zens of the West are foreigners who
took up government lands on the
prairies and fashioned fine farms from
them.
Our government, it seems, is about
to raise a question with Canada for
assisting immigrants in avoiding our
immigration laws. Three Canadian
steamship companies carry immigrants
from Europe to Canada, giving them
a guarantee that they shall be landed
in the United States. They send these
immigrants across the border at some
point where detection is rather diff
cult In that way many undesirable
immigrants get into this country. The
pending immigration bill will, it is
thought, contain a provision which will
check this business of the Canadian
steamship companies.

Simultaneous Hmmor.

That the Irishman still holds the palm
for spontaneous humor is shown by an
incident which Mr.. Bennett Burleigh,
the cores pondent in South Africa of
the London Telegraph, relates in a
recent letter. says the Baltimore Sun.
A son of Erin, fighting under the Brit
ish flag, was caught on the plain by
a party of Beers. He refused to sur
render and resisted until he was shot
in a dozen places and left for dead.
He was found the next day uncon-
scious and carried to a field hospital
AS soon as he recovered consciousness
a nurse asked him If he were badly
shot. Badly shot?" he replied. 1
am so full of bullet holes that the man
in the next cot has caught cold from
the drafts through me-" There spoke
the typical Irishman-hghting to the
last extremity and waking to con-
sciousness with a pleasantly on his lips.
1t is a pity that the farce comedians
do not understand him better.

THE sENAron AND THE BISHOP.

When senators and bishops disagree
as to what the United States should
do with the Philippines it is not to be
wondered at that plain people are in
doubt as to the course that ought to be
pursued in regard to them. On Thurs
day Senator Hoar delivered a speech
in the Senate, on the Philippine ques-
ton. that commanded the rapt atten-
ton of that body. and which has made
a profound impression upon the whole
country. He denounced the attitude of
the government in the Philippines as
one of the most wicked and foolish
chapters in American history. He
urged that the United States withdraw
from the islands and that the Filipinos
be permitted to set up a government
of their own. He declared that If our
government continued to pursue its
present course the Declaration of Inde-
pendence would be repealed and moth
ing would be left of the Monroe doc
trine except the principal of brutal
selfshness.
On the same day, before the Senate
Committee on the Philippines, Bishop
Thoburn, of the Methodist Church Of
India and Malaysia, said that the
American occupation of the Philip
pines should be continued, because, in
his opinion, 1t was an act of God.
From what the bishop said it is inferred
that he believes that through the pres
anpp Of tho A poarinonS l., tho ;eIo,odc
the Filipinos will be raised to a high
level of civilization and will reach a
condition of prosperity and happiness
that they would never attain if left to
themselves. He said that the people
were fiocking to the churches and that
the demand for teachers was so great
that 1t could not be supplied.
Which is right, the senator or the
bishop? Should we withdraw from the
Philippines and let the Filipinos shift
vises, or should we retain possession
Of the islands and endeavor to fit the
people for taking charge of their own
affairs, in accordance with the views
of the bishop?
According to Senator Hoar the Phil
ippines have cost us many lives and
about $6OO,OOO,OOO. If we were to with
draw now all the islands have cost us
would be thrown away. But if we
stay we run the risk of doing irreme-
diable damage to our own institutions.
The wiser plan would be that which
is favored by the Democratic party,
namely to declare that the Filpinos
are to have their independence when
they are ready for it, and then set
about preparing them for it. 1t was
three years after our occupation of
Cuba before we turned that island over
to the Cubans 1t might take us q
quarter of a century or more to pre-
pare the Filipinos to take care of them
selves. But it is certain that the Fill
pinos would make greater efforts for
self-improvement if assured of indie
pendence eventually.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Hartford (Conn.) Times CDem.)
says Senator Bacon of Georgia
showed conclusively in the debate on
the Philippine bill that the main and
in fact almost the only object to be
accomplished by it was to facilitate
the exploitation of the islands by
American corporations"

ing fun with Capt. Greene and Col
Gaynor 1t says: The way Gaynor
and Greene are being hustled around
Canada by tug and train is an indi-
cation that they are certainly getting
a run for their money. 1t re-
manned for Mr.. Gaynor and Mr..
Greene to demonstrate that self-incar-
ceration is the only safe refuge for in
nocent men who are pursued by in
justice"

The status of the Isle of Pines is vet
to be determined, it seems. Is the ISL
and Cuban, or American, or independ-
ent? 1t was not specifically named
in the treaty of Paris. hence the I'M
certainty. A dispatch from Havana re-
Gently said the people of the Isle of
Pines-"Pineros," they are called-were
talking of rising to proclaim them
selves free and independent. The ISL
and has heretofore been regarded as
a part or dependency of Cuba. There
are about 200 American residents on
the island who have in contemplation
an appeal to the United States for
protection. 1t is alleged the "Pineros"
do not wish to be included in the Gu

that government is unstable. What
the outcome will be cannot be guessed,
but there are reasons for thinking that
the political ownership of the Isle of
Pines will be an interesting question
