A GROWING REVoLT.

II seems certain that Speaker Hender-
son will have trouble with his Republi-
can constituents. A large and increasing
number Of them are so strongly in favor
Of tariff revision that they will not sup
port any candidate who refuses to pledge
himself to 1T. Many Republicans in his
own county have presented to him pc
titIon to use his influence in support of a
general and substantial reduction of tariff
duties. They consider that Justice de-
mands the removal of all duties on articles
made in this country and sold abroad
cheaper than at home. These petitioners
say that the revision of the tariff is in
evitable, and. in their opinion, 1t would
be much better to have IT made by friends
of protection than by it's enemies.
Speaker Henderson declines to make the
pledge thus asked for. He admits that
the steel and glass schedule should be
modified. but fears that If the house
should pass a very limited measure of
tariff reform the senate would widen it
so as to interfere with the policy Of pro-
lection very seriously.
OF course the house has the power to
reject any bill that the senate may pass,
and Speaker Henderson is evidently afraid
to give either that body or the senate a
chance at the tariff at all. He knows
that there is a large proportion of Re
publicans in both houses who are ready
to go much further in the direction Of tar
III reform than he would desire and is re-
solved to use the great power of his office
to hold back any such legislation.
One of his constituents, a prominent
business man, writes that he does not like
to have Colonel Henderson profess that
he is in favor of a reduction of steel and
glass duties and then make himself a
stumbling block to any legislation on the
question. Another OF the speakers con-
stituents says:
'It is all bosh for any congressman to
state that If one article on the tariff list
is touched the entire subject with all OF
its ramifcations will have to be entered
into. Modify the tariff, gentle
men. or the Democrats will win in the
next congressional elections"
A leading Republican newspaper in Col
onel Henderson's district says:
1.-THE business interests of the country
would be disturbed less by Republican
revision of the tariff than by a Democrat
ic, and matters have reached a point
where one party or the other will per-
form the act"
Such expressions are coming from many
Republicans in different parts of the
country and indicate a growing alarm
among protectionists.
We may see some lively times on the
tariff question in congress at this session
and it viii certainly be a controlling issue
in many districts at the next COMPRESSION
al election.

Now that it has been decided by Presi-
dent Roosevelt with apparent fairness
that it was captains fight at Santiago
and Cervera also, who ought to know, said
1t was a captains fight, the question arises
what captain did most for the success OF
that glorious day? This is readily deter
mined by the vessel that did most to
knock the Spaniards to pieces. All say it
was the BROOKLYN Three-fifths OF nearly
two-thirds of the shells that hit the Span
ish ships came from the Brooklyn. Who
was captain of the Brooklyn? Captain
Frank Cook, and yet his name has hardly
been mentioned among the distinguished
heroes Of the day. 1t may be said that
Schley conducted the BroOklyn's fight. He
did not. He was in command practically
of the whole squadron and busted himself
with giving signals which were not re-
spected because of the hatred and preju-
dice of his brother officers while Cook did
the fighting. Cook himself testified before
the court of inquiry that he was RESPONSE
BILE for the famous loop, which verify
believe will go down in history as the best
strategic move of the war. Schley's order
was Prepare to ram when the grim
looking Spanird just out of the harbor was
making for him, but Cook got out Of his
way by the loop, which got him out of
close range and gave him better vantage
ground from which. with his long-range
superior guns, enabled him to have won
derful advantage and saved the day. Then
with the fast sailing Brooklyn he went for
them till one after another Of the enemy's
ships went down, while all admit the
Brooklyns skill did it. If, then, it was a
captains fight. the glory is due, not to
Clarke, whose highest distinction was his
long and safe voyage from the Pacific
coast. nor to Evans, whose chief notoriety
was that he was the champion "cusser'
of the occasion; nor TO Wainwright, who
exposed his frail craft perhaps unneces-
sarily; nor to the noble Phillips, who said.
at the close: Don't cheer. the poor devils
are dying" and who called his men tot
prayer to thank God for the victory; nor
to Chadwick, in whose lap Sampson lay on
Siboney while his locks were shorn from
him; nor even to Schley, brave and in

A GREAT ENTERPRISE.


1t is gratifying to know that the project
Of establishing a great publishing house
in the south is receiving encouragement
from many quarters. A meeting Of prom
inent men was held in Charleston last
month for the purpose Of promoting this
object, and Governor Gambler, in a notable
address set forth the need OF such an
institution. other addresses were made
on the same line.
Atlanta was chosen as the headquarters
OF the committee on organization, which
will soon meet here. 1t is understood that
the aim OF this committee will be to form
a corporation with a very large capital
and to establish at some prominent point
in the south a printing establishment
great enough to undertake the work OF
publishing text books for this region,
which is now so dependent upon the north
in this respect. Mr.. W. c. Chase, who has
been active in arousing interest in this
matter, has received from public men,
educators and newspapers some strong as
surances Of sympathy and support. There
have been many and just complaints about
the difficulty Of obtaining text books for
public schools which will treat historic
and present public questions fairly. All
that the south asks is that her children
shall not have their minds warped by
transformation or colored by misrepresen-
tations and the best protection against
such a misfortune could be given by a
great southern publishing house.
Hon. Arthur LeFevre, superintendent Of
public education of Texas, put the matter
in a nutshell when he said recently: The
establishment OF such an institution Is
duty which the south owes TO herself. 1t
would unquestionably work manifold ad-
vantages to many Of our vital interests.
II is a field in which our best business
and literary talent may be wOrthily and
profitably engaged
The general design of this enterprise, as
we understand il, is to benefit the peo-
pie Of the south by furnishing text books
and also general literature equal to the
best and at the lowest price consistent
With the best quality.
The millions OF dollars which the south
now sends out for text books could be
devoted to uses at home If we had a source
Of supply such as the promoters Of this
grand object hope to establish.
The south is developing in nearly every
other direction and should not remain be-
hind in this.
There are surely enough brains, patriot
ism and money in this section TO meet the
requirements Of this situation. This is
not only a matter of pride, but it has a
business side that could be made very at
traetive with the proper effort and under
right AUSPICES. 1t is a good sign when our
mn 9lic men are giving this matter earnest
attention and our newspapers are discuss
ing II so freely.
The Journal feels lively interest and
a profound concern in IL.
We shall watch it's progress most hope
fully and are convinced that ~ the early
future we shall see developments that Will
point to its complete success.
The south is amply able 20 equip herself
for the work of production at home of
most Of the books OF every kind that she
needs and she should be moving practical
~ toward that end.

Observation-Disclosures
WITH THE STATE PRESS.

Rome Tribune: The race between the
Tillmans to see which one can make the
biggest display of himself promises to
have a hot finish.
Waycross Evening Herald: The Georgia
Cracker calls for a clean election. Might
as well call for a clean towel as Sec
ond class boarding house.
Augusta Tribune: Teddy may be impul-
sive, but there is nothing small about
him.
Macon Telegraph: 1t has been pointed
out that South Carolina is misrepresented
and Delaware unrepresented in the Uni
ted States senate Too much gas in both
cases.
Athens Banner: Since she christened
the emperor's yacht, the newspapers hav-
been calling her Sweet Alice" She is
no doubt typical American girl and as
such entitled to the name.
Macon News: Judging from the enor-
nous cost of the dinners being given in
honor of Prince Henry, eggs must appear
on all of the menu cards.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: South Carolina
will hardly re-elect Mr.. Tillman to the
senate since he has acknowledged on the
floor of the senate that he is unfit to hold
the place. A large proportion of the peo-
pie of the country thought as much before
he made this statement.
Lincolnton Home Journal: Tillman by
his repeated bullying and coarse conceited
jibes has placed himself in a very low po-
sition in the minds of all decent people.
Mi1edgeville Union Record: 1t Is gen.
orally a fight betweens the 'ins" and
''outs'' and in great many instances the
"outs' should be kept out.
Albany Herald: All things considered,
the president should be able to contem-
plate with entire satisfaction the Jen-
kins sword incident. Should he now at
tend the Charleston exposition he will be
warmly greeted by the southern people
and applauded by public opinion as a
broad minded man too we'll balanced to be
disturbed by the cheap maneuvering of a
cheap politician.
Sandersville Progress: Bishop Warren
Gambler is contributing some fine arti-
cles to the Saturday evening edition of
the Atlanta Journal. Any subject which
he handles is made interesting because he
expresses. deep thought in terse and COM
prehensive language. The south has no
brainier son than the bishop, and his con-
tributions to the press are worthy of pres
ervation.

HEAVENS MILLIONAIRE.
By Robert OusIey Smith.

Not rich is he, o'er-stocl1ed with earthly pelf,
Who hath no care for other than himself
Who only lives for worldly gain and ease,
And best is pleased when he himself doth
please;
Who robs the poor to satisfy his greed,
And hath no God in all his silly creed;
Who only gains that he may gain the more;
Why rate him rich. this man whom God calls
poor?
But rather rich Is ne, whose honest heart
Hath chosen Christ true riches as his part;
Who with his Lords approval is content;
And in his service spendeth and is spent; d
Who for anOther's veal delights TO lves-
And only gains that he may have to give;
This man whose home is heaven, whose wealth
is there, -
Why call him poorl He's heavens millionaire

MRS. FUssER.

Did vol see Mrs. Fusser,
OF FusseTville Town.
As she drove in the Park
In her gorgeous new gown1
All berigged top to toe
In the finest, you know,
OF exquisite things
From the late Paris Show:
The women all staring
Admiringly so.
And yet. yet, yet,
She would fret. fret, fret,
Because the old
Vandergould, Asterbilt set
Had costlier jewels
Than she e'er could get
This beautiful fusser,

From Fusserviile Town.
Did you watch, as she sat
In the velvet-iined pew
OF the goddess Swell" church
On Firth avenue.
That she prayed with one eye
On Miss Bankers new bonnet
And trilled from gold prayer TO
An opera sonnet?
This beautiful fusser
From Fusserville Town.
Did you notice her baggage,
Just landed from ship,
When IL sailed into harbor
Back from a long trip
On a voyage of pleasure
Around the wide world?
Did you count all her trunks,
Satchels. bandboxes each,
AS they lay, helter-skelter.
Strewn on the long beach2
If you did. YOU can answer
This truly, I'm sure,
There were two to five dozen,
Perhaps even more
All filled with gems, diadems,
Rich treasures galore,
Culled, gathered from every
Conceivable shore;
And yet. yet. yet.
She would fret, fret, fret.
Because the old

are we going now? asked a large but not
