THE EXTENT OF EVIL EXAMPLE.

The Philippine atrocities, which have been attract
ing much public attention of late and which are the
subject of the great debate pending in the senate
the United States constitute evil which is very
much far-reachng in its effects than is thought
of by many of our citizens.
OF course the paramount evil is the commission of
the crimes themselves the slaughter the suffering and
torture, often resulting in death, inflicted upon the
Filipino men, women and children. The next evil eff
feet is the brutalizng of the army. Soldiers who
called to do such dirty work as administering the
water cure burning peaceful villages and killing all
people the age of 10, necessarily become
ened and hardened at very rapid rate and to very
extreme degree.
But the evil does not stop here 1t tends to encour-
age crime in this country The desperadoes and thugs
the of low moral calibre with criminal tendencies
when they read of the ofenses for which the officers
Of the army being martaled and acquitted in
the Philippines are much more likely to commit crime
under the influence of the evil examples them than
would otherwise be the case. This result is partly
brought about by the force of the initiative faculty
and partly by the of the known effect
ward the checking of crime that follows a stringent
enforcement of the criminal code.
And not only is there danger from the criminal
classes and from persons with criminal propensities
but such cruelties outrages have a tendency to
lower the moral tone of whole people 1t is true
this tendency may be resisted but there is no doubt
that it exists. The virtue in this country which forms
the basis of American character has been strikingly
shown in the continued denunciations by the press by
the people and by many of the members of congress-
Not only is the demoralzing example felt at home,
but it extends abroad and tends to lower the moral
tone OF the whole world In the cabinet councils of the
nations the of such evil deeds brought up and
bloody-mnded ministers refer to such precedents to
justify their cruel courses. Sherdans ravaging the
Shenandoah valley was quoted as excupatory ex-
ample by Bismarck in 1901, and by Chamberlain in
1902. Sherman's march to the sea and his maxim,
war is hell" which he fully acted up to, have been
referred precedents for outrages whenever

since 1865, and cited presidents for
the Philippine horrors.

If anything were needed to convince
ex-President Cleveland and his fol-
lowers that the democrats of the coun.
try do not want to be lectured by him,
and that the six and one-half millions
who stood Loyalty by the party and
fought it's battles while he sulked and
boted in 1896 and 1900 will be quick to
resent any assumption of party leader
ship or presumption to dictate on his
part. it has been furnished in the com
ments upon the speech delivered by
him at the Tilden Club banquet in
New York on Tuesday night of last
week.
The Tilden Club banquet was her
aided as democratic harmony meet
ing. but the idea of those who were IN
charge of the affair appears to have
been that the harmonizing process
should begin on the basis of having
the 6,502,925 loyal democrats who
voted the ticket in 1896 surrender with
acknowledgements of error upon their
lips to the 1873, las goldbugs who bolted
the party and voted for Palmer and
Buckner. 1t must now be apparent to
Mr.. Cleveland and those who would
aoain nut him in training for party
leadership and another tern in office
that the people have neither forgotten
nor forgiven his apostacy, and that ne
cannot lead again where the democrat
ic hosts are expected to follow. Inc
marty sin OF which he stands convicted
at the bar of public opinion is the un-
nardonable sin in public lite and party
fellowship, and he is today the most
conspicuous dead politician in the
country. Yet there are few mistaken
followers-and we have some OF them
here in Georgia-whose political
homes are conferred in this stuffed
corpse. soo

cratic party is today divided into two

SHIP COMBINE SITUATION.
Some Facts About the New Rival
British Trust.

The definite organization of the Nor
gan steamship combination is proceed
ing with all the speed that could be-
expected from such a large undertake
ing. Clement A. GriscOm, president or
the International Navigation company
and Bernard N. Baker, president OF the
Atlantic Transport company. will sail
for England soon to meet Mr.. Morgan
and the officials of the other steamship
lines that will enter the deal and ar
range the details.
While it is generally understood in
New York that an effort is being made
to form another steamship combination
around the Cunard lire as center, it
is thought that it has not reached
definite stage yet, says the New YORK
Tribune. In regard to the position or
the Cunard line, one prominent steam
ship agent said recently that 1t APP
peared to him that the Cunard line had
received two offers and was now giving
the British government an opportunity
to signify whether it would increase
the subsidy paid to the company. The
circular issued to the stockholders, he
thought, was intended to warn them
thai there was something doing" and
to manipulate their stock accordingly.
AS the stock of the Cunard line, unlike
that of the WhiteaStar line, is listed, 1t
would therefore be possible for an out
slider to pick up some of it without de-
claring his object in buying 1t.
Sir Alfred Jones and Sir Christopher
Furness were mentioned in the Eng
Ush dispatches as being interested In
the so called rival British comblna-
ton. They are among the leading
steamship men of England. The for
mer is at the head of the Elder, Demp-
ster & Co. lines, which control about
$50 ships, with an estimated tonnage
Of 431 ,290. The vessels of this feet
would probably form the basis of the
freight feet of such a combination.
fFurness is an ironmaster, shipbuilder
and interested in several steamship
companies, including the Chesapeake
and Ohio Steamship company, operat-
ing steamers from Newport News and
Norfolk to Liverpool and London in
conjunction with the Chesapeake and
Ohio. the Southern and the Norfolk
and Western railroads. Such a COM
bination would bring together moro
than $50 steamers, with an aggregate
of nearly s million tons. The Morgan
combination, exclusive Of the German
lines. which have a tonnage of about
million and about $50 ocean steam
ships, will number 124 vessels and
have a tonnage of about 100000. 1t Is
said that the British combination
would include the Allan and Union
Castle lines.

A TRUE STATEMENT OF
THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.
Albany Herald Editorial.

for leader. There is great disparity
in the members that figure relatively
in the two factions, but the minority
faction is conceited enough to assume
that it's superior wisdom more than
colnpensates for what it lacks in num-
bers. Upon the other hand, those who
remained loyal to the party in 1896 and
again in 1900 and voted for Bryan point
to the fact that, although defeated, he
poIled larger vote both times than
was ever cast for Cleveland, who was
twice elected. Under these conditions
and they are real conditions-it will
be impossible to bring the party to-
gether. under the leadership OF either
Bryan or Cleveland, and the sooner all
real democrats become recOnclled to
this fact the better. The only hope
for democratic harmony is to be found
in bringing the two factions together
and agreeing upon campaign policy
with reference to the future, Ignoring
past differences and leaving the dead
issues of the past buried in the silent
memories of the past.
Cleveland wrecked the democratic
party during his second term IN office,
as was shown by the result of the con-
gressional elections in 1894, when the
democratic majority in the house OF
representatives was lost in the middle
of his administration and acknowledge
ed leadership. Bryan failed to reha-
bilitate it and restore it to power in
1896 and again in 1900, although it can
be truly said that he did all
thatany living man could have done
under the circumstances and
polled larger vote each time than
was ever cast for Cleveland. These
are the facts-these are the conditions
that confront the democratic party to-
day, and if there is to be harmony in
the party they will have to be met and
dealt with bv our party leaders, includ-
ing the leaders of both factions, in a
matter of fact, cOmmOn-sense way.
Harmony cannot be promoted by invlt-
ing either Bryan or Cleveland to BAN
ouet halls to scratch over old sores to
the raw.
