CHAIRMAN GHIGGs.

Reduced Republican majorities in
many of the congressional districts,
ana a reduced Republican majority in
| the House of Representatives from for
ty-one to twenty-five or less, are ex-
cellent evidences of the fact that the
Dmocra tic party made a splendid
/ fight against heavy odds. And much
Of the credit for the very excellent
showing of the party is due to the Hon.
James NJ. Griggs Of Georgia, represen-
tative of the Second District. in his
capacity of chairman of the Democrat
ic National Congressional Committee.
From the time that he became the
head of the committee, Judge Griggs
sounded the only possible keynote for
Democratic success-that of tariff re-
form And it will be the keynote of
the next campaign, which will be
fought on the lines Chairman Griggs
laid down for the campaign that has
just ended. The agitation started I'M
der the auspices of the National Con-
gressional Committee will not lag be-
cause an election has just been held;
it will gather strength during the next
two years and when the people go to
the polls again, the result may be quite
different. The vote of last Tuesday
indicates a drift of public sentiment
away from the high protection policy
of the Republican party.
Chairman Griggs deserves, and will
receive, the gratitude of Democrats ev-
erywhere for his vigorous and intelli-
gent direction of the congressional
campaign. He made a clean and an
aggressive fight. He gave facts and
figures to show the people why the
protective principle of the tariff is
wrong and an injustice to the masses.
He showed among other things that
protection enables the protected indus
tries to charge the people of this coun-
try much higher prices than they
charge the people of Europe for the
same products. Every man. woman
and child who uses a lead pencil-and
who does not?-has in the pencil an
Illustration of the power of the protect
ed manufacturer TO squeeze the con-
sumner through the help of the tariff
AS Judge Griggs pointed out the other
day, American pencils are sold in Eu-
rope for just about half what is charg-
ed for them in the United States. Pen
ellis that cost $3.50 per gross here are
sold to foreign purchasers for S225.
Nor is this an isolated instance of the
grinding of American consumers. Judge
Griggs has pointed out a number of
similar cases. These things have sunk
into the minds of the people, and they
will be heard from again. And so will
Judge Griggs. His grasp of public
affairs and his dignified and agrees
sive conduct of the campaign have
marked him as man who has won
and will continue to occupy a promi-
nent place in the affairs of the coun-
try

HARMoNIzEp DEMOCRACY.

1t cannot be said, of course, that
there is entire harmony in the DEM
ocratic party, but it is evident there
| is a much better feeling throughout
| its rank and file than there was be-
fore Tuesdays elections. The COM
ments in the Democratic papers in all
parts of the country on the result of
the elections show this to be the case.
| There is strong hope now that the
two wings of the party will get to-
gether and that when the presidential
campaign opens the party will be in
a splendid condition to meet its OPP
ponent.
In Tuesdays elections the party
made a good fight all along the line
In New York, particularly, it showed
what It could do when united. In
only a few OF the states was there
emphasis placed upon the differences
growing out of the Kansas City plat
form. and in the instances where The
disturbing issues of that platform We're
brought to the front It was clearly
made apparent that 1t would be wiser
W push NilDot ASSANS AAiAO the BdGh-
ground and give entire attention to
practical Democracy.
Mr.. Bryan seems to want to cling
to the platforms on which he was
twice defeated-to cling to them in
their entirety. He is quoted as say
ing, in his comments on the result
Of the elections, that the people will
come to their senses after awhile. and
that the Democratic party will triumph
eventually; that it will only be neces-
sary for the party to hold fast to it's
prominent issues in order to insure
their acceptance.
If Mr.. Bryan means that the party
ought to still insist upon free silver
and some other things which have
been repudiated in two presidential
campaigns. he is out of touch with
the great majority of other Democratic
leaders who have commented in the
public prints upon the result of last
Tuesdays contests. AS a matter of
fact. the Democratic party, in har-
monizing its differences, is drifting
away from Mr.. Bryan, and his ideas.
This is conspicuously shown by the
result Of the elections in Ohio, where
Hon. Tom L. johnson, having as
sumed the leadership of the party, in
sisted upon a reaffirmation Of the Kan
sas City platform and declarations in
favor of certain notions of his own
The result was so disastrous that all
over the country Democrats are say
ing that Democratic harmony can be
brought about only by abandoning
those issues which have been the
cause of party dissensions.
1t does not look now as if there
would be much difficulty in agreeing
upon platform in 1904 that will COM
mand the support of the entire party.
Those who favor the issues that will
have to be abandoned il there is to
be reasonable hope of success will
admit the necessity for abandoning
them.

All! Polly, do you mind the day
When Dobbin bore a double load.
And YOU and were on the way
To Singin' up the Skinker Road?
Your bonnet caught a briar-spray
That pulled II and your hair awry.
4 freed you in my awkward way,
And-there; don't blush; I won't tell
why,
All! that was many a year ago.
How time does fly when hearts beat
true.
Your cheeks were red as roses blow,
Your eyes like diamonds made OF
dew.
How scenes have changed and faces
passed,
Fond hearts grown still that with
love beat:
Our own heads crowned with SHOWS
at last.
Life's path now trod with hating
feet.
Yet once again the winding ways
We travel 10 the great Worlds Fair
What! this the spot of others DAYS?
And blushing, sweetheart, I declare!

A PATRIOTIC REQuEST.

The Association Of Patriotic Socie-
ties is very DESTROYS that there shall
be splendid showing of the military
OF the city on the occasion of the re-
interment of the remains OF Mai Gen.
Nathaniel Greene, and, as will be
seen from a notice published else
where In this issue. makes a request
of corporations. firms and individuals
TO allow their employees who are mem
bers of the Georgia State Troops to
take part in the parade on the after
noon Of Nov. IA.
The request is a very reasonable
one, and there ought to be no hesita-
ton in granting it. 1t is true of
course that this is the busy season,
but point can be strained on an oc-
casion of this kind. The time which
employees will be absent from their
duties will be short, and though en-
ployers may be put to some inconveni-
ence it is certain that compliance with
the request of the association will be
highly appreciated.
This Association of Patriotic Socie-
ties as is we'll known, is strongly in
trenched in the affections of the peo-
pie of this city. The societies are the
Savannah Chapter of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, The Geor-
gia Society of Colonial Danes of
America, The Georgia Society Sons of
the Revolution, Society of Colonial
Wars in Georgia and the Georgia His
torical Society. The strength and I'M
portance of these societies gives weight
to any request they make.

WHY DID THEY STAY AwAYY

problem which the Republican
leaders of New York are trying to solve
is, why did so many thousands of Re-
publicans in New York city-registered
Republicans-remain away from the
polls last Tuesday? Two years ago, in
that city, the Republican vote for Gov
ernor was 272,O9O and the Democratic
vote was 316,S93. Last Tuesday the
Republican vote was 2O2,559 and the
Democratic vote was S24,564. These
figures show a falling off in the Re-
publican vote of 10000 or more and an
increase in the Democratic vote of
about 5000.
Did 10000 registered Republicans stay
away from the polls or did Democrats
as well as Republicans stay away while
the Democratic vote was partly made
up of Republican voters? 1t is not be-
lieved that the Republicans contrib
uted anything to the Democratic vote
The explanation is that there is much
hostility to Gov. Odell among Repub-
licans of New York city because he
assisted in bringing about the taxation
OF public utility franchises, thus reduc-
ing the taxes of the farmers and peo-
pie of the villages and increasing that
Of the owners franchise properties in
New York city. 1t is also claimed
that the administration of Mayor Low
has been a great disappointment to
the Republicans of New York city, 1t
having been so colorless as to excite no
enthusiasm among them.
Whatever-the cause, it is certain that
Republicans did not rally to Gov. Odell
as they did two years ago. 1t may be
that they have found out that the Re-
publican party is great in making
promises. but that it seldom fulfills it's
promises. 1t promised to do great
things in the way of reform in New
York city. AS matter of fact the
condition of affairs there is just about
what it has been for years. At no time
during Mr.. Croker's rule of Tammany
was it wider open than it is now.
Some of the 10000 Republicans who
remained away from the polls ought TO
be interviewed. Doubtless they would
willingly give their reasons for not
voting, and their reasons would make
interesting reading.

The next important political contest
that will engage the attention of the
public is that of Speaker of the. House
Of Representatives. The office will go
to the Republicans, of course. The
leading candidates so far are Cannon
of Illinois and Dalzell of Pennsylvania.
There has been some talk of Babcock
of Wisconsin. but as yet he has not
developed a great deal of strength.
Mr.. Babcock declared in favor of tariff
reform some time ago, which may
prejudice the high tariff Republicans
against him.

Cotton planters In Mississippi are
complaining of the great scarcity of
rent crop will be lost, they say, because
they cannot secure hands to harvest
it. Farm hands are carried away to
work on railroads. at sawmills and on
the levees, leaving the farms destitute
of the help that is so urgently needed
at the harvest season. Why doesn't
some brilliant inventive genius come
forward with the practical mechanical
cotton picker. and thus at one stroke
win fame and fortune?

The polls at Pine Grove precinct,
West Virginia, were not opened last
Tuesday. The manager of election to
whom had been entrusted the care of
the ballot box saw a dog that he liked
better than he did the receptacle for
the silent voice of freemen. so he
snapped the one for the other. With
his dog tied on the end of a string
he wandered over the hills. while the
anxious patriots of his precinct Won
dered what was the matter and swore
some. The shrewd snapper who secur-
ed the ballot box. knowing that the
poll would be against his party. car
ried the box away and hid It. so no
election was held az Pine Grove

~ convinced Of his divine descent and

providence as any other person of royal
blood; nevertheless he declines to
tempt fate by riding in elevators to
the tops of American skyscrapers. In
Pittsburg the other day banquet had
been prepared for him on the twenty
first floor of a tall building. The
Prince looked up at the hight of the
building, looked at the elevator and
then firmly declined to attend the
feast. He said he would rather take

risk his neck in. the elevator; and eat
at the restaurant he did.

Those candidates who We're elected
or reelected to Congress have addi-
tional cause for rejoicing, in that the
Court of Appeals of the District of
Colombia has just decided that the
canteens in the capitol do not need to
be licensed, but that they may go right
along dispensing thirst-killers to the
members Of the law-making body as
heretofore. The court says that Con-
gress is a self-governing body, and
can regulate affairs at the capitol to
suit its own will; which means. of
course. that Congress can take its
drinks to suit itself. and the dispens-
ing of the drinks at the capitol being
on a government reservation, the Dis
trict of Columbia has nothing to do
with the matter. The canteens OF the
soldiers have been abolished, but the
canteens of the statesmen viii con-
tinue to do business at the old stands
which may be taken as one illustra-
ton of why it is more desirable to be
a statesman than a soldier

terial things they recognize that their
fortunes are irrevocably bound -, to-
gether; that the interests of both are
quite Identical, and that each has lust
as strong a motive for making things
go well as has the others since thew
share equally the labor and the reward
of labor. They may have their private
disagreements, but they front the world
together. The wife takes the keenest
interest in the most minute details of
everything that affects her husbands
welfare. She knows his income to a.
penny. She manages her household as
a chancellor OF the exchequer manages
the nations outlay, so that the annual
budget shall not only avoid a deficit
and shall accurately balance. but so
that 1t shall show a surplus. She will
practice a rigid economy If necessary
and in doing so she will feel that she
is merely carrying out her share of the
marriage contract. 1t is the mans
part to make money; it is her part
to help him save it. She plans nothing

public questions with which he has to
deal so that she may discuss them
with him, and follow his career intel
ligently. She belongs to him, in fact
as he belongs to her. There is NOT
much display Of sentiment in an Eng

married life has ended; but there is the
bond of common interest which grows
stronger every day and every year
and which gives TO man and wife
unity of purpose and OF feeling that

Birds Nests and Poetry

Birds nests have attracted the atten-
ton of inquisitive genius from the days
of Aristotle down to the present time.
This is not wonderful, because the
nests are invariably curious and often
beautiful, besides Offering cradle, as
1t were. for host of romantic specula-
tlons and poetical theories Imagina
tion has taken hold of birds and their
nests with singular affection, drawing
forth meantime some beautiful leg
ends to enrich romance withal and to
add to the sum of what is most per-
sistent in the song of mankind
The ancents told that the halcyon, a
beautiful aquatic bird. had its nest on
the seas breast, a little floating palace
around which the water was always
calm and sweet. Halcyon, or alcyon
was the kingtisher, it is supposed, but
we now know every species Of this
bird, and none of them builds it's nest
to drift about on the sea. Indeed, as
II to make the contrast Of fact with
fancy as great as possible, most of the
kingiishers dig deep holes in the
ground for their homes
