BY JOHN A. JOYCE.

Pink and blue, and yellow and white,
Red and black as the shades of night,
Purple and violet. green and gray,
Growing in beauty the live long day.
Chrysanthemums with auburn curls,
Fickle and fair as beautiful girls;
The lily white in peaceful rest,
Might lie on my lady's billowy breast,
And Dolly Warden here reposes,
Nieing with rarest rainbow roses,
While all around exhale perfume
Flowers in glorious, beautiful bloom.

Independent Voters.

The legislature of New York state
has hit u pom novel scheme to force
business men and non-partisan voters to
come to the polls on election day. Here
tofore all the jury lists in New York
were made up from the polling and
voting lists. Men who under ordinary
circumstances would not go a square out
of their way to vote, were sure for this
reason to walk many squares to get away
from polling places.
The ne jury law in New York now
compsls the jury commissioners to take
the names, first, Of citizens, who did not
vote at the last previous election, and
then when this source gives out to take
those on the voting lists.
This novel plan should certainly have
a tendency TO make future elections in
New York more uncertain, and to weak
en- the strength of any machine, roi
either party. With the large indepen-
dent. vote going to the polls the sure
ness and the certainty OF elec ions viii
b. thing of the past, and personal re
cords and popularity Ill! have much
more weight than The power of the ma
chine that any candidate may repre-
sent.

Is Cuba Sulking?

It would be mistake to consider re-
cent advices concerning Cuba as reveal
irg any sudden alarm of the admins
tration on account of alleged hostility in
official circles at Havana. That the
Cuban government is slow about ac-
cepting a treaty on the lines of the
Platt amendment may be true, but the
conditions that would naturally cause
a disposition to do SO have long been
considered and regretted at Washington
Nor is it in the leas. surprising that the
Cuban government and people should
be lukewarm in regard to fulfilling their
obligations under the Platt amendment
They accepted the latter largely because
they expected measures of reciprocity
President Palma and his supporters
know perfectly that the administration
at Washington has not deserted Cuba
and, what is more to the point. they
know that in recent political tests ol
Cuba's case before the American people
much significant support of the Presi-
dents policy has been given. State con-
ventions of the Republican party have
almost unanimously indorsed a recipro-
city measure for Cuba and commended
the Presidents course in regard to it
Let the Cuban leaders be patient unit
congress meets and until action is taken
as it undoubtedly viii be, on the distinc
mandate that the Republican party ha
reiterated to it's supporters in congress
in regard to this question.

No Alliance With France-Build-
ing Up Her Commerce.

A member of the Spanish Ministry,
now in England, who was questioned
regarding the reiterated rumors of a
Franco-Spanish alliance, in conjunction
with SPANS increased naval program
me, said to representative OF the AS
sociated Press:
There is absolutely no such move
ment on foot, though the reports on the
subject are an interesting indication
that in some quarters 'the wish is father
to the thought At the present mo-
ment we are taking a large leaf from
Americas diplomatic book. We are
not making entangling alliances, but
we are strenuously building up COM
lmerclaI relations With all parts of the
world. It is now SPANS watchword
that successfully to accomplish the lat
ter we must BE- excellent friends with
the other Powers. These rumors of
| alliances are rather complimentary to
the degree of success. we have already
achieved in that direction. However.
SO far as France is concerned, there are.
perhaps, 0 her motives involved. For
various reasons, many Frenchmen like
Italy, and England thinks Spain is pro-
French in all matter relating to North
Africa That portion of the world
recently has been causing no little
anxiety 10 the Cabinet Ministers at Pa
ris, and it would not be surprising if
scnle ef the newspaper reports had
inspiration.
1t must be distinctly understood,
however; that, except where their in
terests in North Africa are Identical,
there is not agreement between France
and Spain. We have troubles of our
own, and We are not looking for any
more.
Il sincerely trust the Dake of Vera
qua MARINE Minister will be able to
carry out a naval policy by which we
shall have in few years a fleet ade-
qllate to protect our commerce. That
is the sole objective of the progressive
naval policy. When you compare our
present fleet with our immense sea-
board, the inadequacy of the former is
pa1pable.
The King is very popular and gives
really extraordinary evidences of intel
lectuality and common sense. He has
all a boys natural desire to see the
world, yet he is determined not to leave
Spain until he has visited every provin-
ce and has come in contact with all
classes of his subjects. Thereafter he
IS likely to visit one or two foreign
Courts. He is extremely anxious to
see America, and perhaps is might be
arranged. Thanks chiefly to the tact
sulness of the American Minister at ,
Madrid and the expressions voiced byl
he American Special Envoy at the
Kings accession, there is now nothing
'lt the most friendly feeling in Spain
owards that country IL

The Friars' Lands.

A Washington paper. says that the
War Department has practically decid-
ed that the settlement of the friars
land question on the present basis will
take three years. As an injurious
consequences of the delay viii be felt
mainly by the friars themselves, the
doubtfulness of the Vatican's rejection
of Governor Tafl's offer to purchase the
lands for lump sum is apparent. The
detailed investigation Of the titles to
these lands will, as the despatch points
out, be necessarily tedious and expen-
sive, but If the Vatican -adheres TO its
present terms this cannot be avoided.
The actual possession of many of
these lands BY the Philippine govern
ment and By the munich laiities tends
to increase the friction between Fnpi-.
nos, friars AM also the Arnerican atl-
thorities, who are trying 10 preserve an
impartial asti.ule, and the only way
by which q peaceful settle en- Z aqf the
Whole question may be expedited is a
reconsideration BY the Vatican Of IFS
present terms. Three eafs time
will be saved for the interest Of the.
Church as veil as the political advance-
ment Of the islands, aad L is to be
hoped that S secretary Root and Gog-
ernor Fafts orig slsal plan o immediate
purchase may i q se adopted. Ii IS in
the highest degree unlikely that nrga-
tlatlons for slle iill llnedia & purchase Of |
the lands will fail for lack Of IibeTal
terms from the American side.

TALKS OF
RIFLEMEN
COL. WILLY SAYS THE BRUINS.
WICK COMPANY MUST RE-
cRuIT UP NOW.

Yesterdays Savannah News says:
Colonel t. s. Wylly, Jr., commanding
the First Infantry, has commenced
The new year by the adoption Of
vigorous policy in dealing with delin-
quent companies. He has recommend
ed to the Adjutant General the dis
bandment at once of the Kell Rifles
Of Statesboro, and that he Scriven
Guards Of Sylvania, be inspected with
a view to their immediate disband-
ment If found inefficient. Both these
companies have been given ample
opportunity for improvement, but the
interest in Statesboro and Sylyania,
where they are respectively located,
seems dead. The company in Bruins
wick is practically on probation, and
unless its new captain, who is soon
to be examined, succeeds in building
1t up, It, too, will be recommended for
disarmament.
The shaking up Of the out of town
companies of the First Regiment now
promises to be general. and may re-
suit in the disarmament of companies
besides those mentioned, unless the
officers and members evince greater
interest. Col. Wylly, no doubt, hates
to cut down the strength OF the regI.
ment. but seems to feel that the time
Of the states officers. and its money
and equipment, should not be expend-
ed upon any but effective companies
j Reports from many o. tae compa-
MES throughout the state show this
apathy, and 1t is not improbable that
there would be number of them dis
banded were their regimentaI com
manders to decide upon the same
course as that which is to be followed
by Col. WILLY. The wedding out of
the companies IN which no adequate
interest is manifested would mean the
Improvement Of the others, for the
reason that the fund received from
the government and the states ap-
preparation would be subjected to
shorter division and would tend to
the betterment Of the troops.

in it they recommended that the liquor

The action of the committee does
not necessarily mean that the license
will be raised and no fight win be
made until 1t comes up for its sec

have been settled last night, but ow-
ing to the absence of Alderman KAT

committee, final action was postponed.
The saloon men Of the city are very
anxious to know what will be the
final result with reference to the IL
|cense. They think, however, that the
recommendation viii be defeated when
it comes before open council, as some
of the aldermen are known to be in
favor of leaving the license as it has
been in the past.
