A CHANGE OF POLICY.

Mr. Roosevelt announced when he
became President that he would ap-
point to office in the South the best
men he could find, but that he would
give preference TO Republicans. BY
that he was understood to mean that
when he could find worthy Republi-
can he would give him preference over
a Democrat, but it was clearly UNDER
stood that he would appoint a
Democrat in all cases in which he
could not find a satisfactory Republi-
can. There are indications that he has
changed his policy.
In November last he appointed
George r. Rooster a Gold Democrat,
Collector of Internal Revenue for
South Carolina. The appointment has
not yet been confirmed, and it is said
that the President is not anxious that
it shall be. The leaders of the Re-
publican organizations in the South
have been pointing out to him that
if he wants to be renominated he must
have some support from the South
The way to get it is not to turn down
the Republicans. So it seems that the
President has practically decided to
appoint Republicans to offices in the
South-at least it is given out that he
has changed his policy in respect to
Southern appointments, and that the
reason of his change is his ambition to
be nominated for President in 1904. 1t
is undoubtedly true that the negro Re-
publicans can do more for him in the
South than Gold Democrats. If he is
after votes in the next Republican
| National Convention he will appoint
few if any more Democrats to federal
| offices.

An English writer gives good ex-
APPLE of those bubbles in legal prac-
tice that have a sort of fascination for
certain minds, says the Youths Com
panion. Some years ago, while travel
ing on the continent, he met the princi-
pal lawyer for the government of one
of the principalities, who told him of
a curious legal question. 1t had refer
ence to a railway station at the boun-
dairy between two principalities.
Some one standing outside the win
dow of the ticket office had put his
hand through and robbed the till in
side. The boundary line lay between
where the thief stood and the till. SO
that he was actually in one territory
while the crime was committed in the
other. Here was a nice nut for the
gentlemen learned in the law to crack.
Which of the principalities should I'M
dertake the prosecution of the culprit?
At it they went in good earnest, and
the arguments on either side were long
embalmed in many volumes. At last
one side yielded so far as to say:
I'VE will permit you, as an act CT
courtesy, to prosecute. while at the
same time reserving all our sovereign
rights"
At this point of the recital I asked,
"And how did the prosecution end?"
"Ah that is quite another matter, ="
said my friend. There was no prose-
cution; we were only arranging what
we should do when we caught the rob-
Der; but we never caught him"

To THE EDITOR:


Dear Sir-We have had a great many
letters from people of your city since
"Blood Wine" was first introduced, and
while we have tried to reply direct to
each inquiry, there may be some we have
overlooked. If so, we wishto apologize;
and when we say that our mail amounts
to over thousand letters day, we are
sure that your readers will pardon us, and
accept this letter in lieu of a personal
one. Many people ask us if "Blood
Wine" will cure consumption. To these
we will say that as far as we have been
able to learn, excepting in few cases,
where the disease was of old standing
and advanced to a stat9 where the lungs
were literally decompos>d before our
treatment was commenced, blood Wine"
has cured this and the allied diseases,
which include coughs, colds, bronchial

What is this issue Mr.. Bryan is talk
ing about concerning the care of Con-
federate graves by the federal govern

not be brought into politics. If the
United States government wants to
care for the graves of those brave men
who brought honor and fame to their
cause. though they died in a losing
cause. it has only 40 make the propo-
sition, but not upon any urging of the

The man who reads much stroked

his eyes grew small and penetrating.

HANNA RUMoRs.

If frequent mention in the newspa-
pers is an indication of prominence and
influence, Senator Hanna is altogether
the biggest Republican in Washington.
One day it is stated that he is a candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
President. Another day it is reported
that he is carrying the ship subsidy bill
on his shoulders and blocking inter
oceanic canal legislation. Only last week
IL was declared that it depended upon
him as to whether or not there would be
a strike throughout the coal regions of
the entire country and now IL is said
the President is determined to have
him in the cabinet, either as Secretary
of State or as Secretary of the Interior
No doubt the President would like to
have him in his cabinet, though hardly
as Secretary of State. 1t is doubtful
if he is gifted with the kind of talents
needed in the State Department,
though he is not lacking in brains. If
he were to enter the cabinet it would
be an announcement, practically, to his
party that he would not be candidate
for the nomination for President
against Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t can be stated, however. with a
goo5 deal of certainty that Mr. Hanna
is not going into the cabinet. The po-
sition he has now seems to satisfy him
pretty well, and he would gain but lit
tie in honor if he were to give it up
for place in the cabinet. Besides, he
would take upon himself great deal

The magician then pulled cards out
of the Secretary's pockets from down
the back of his neck, from up his
sleeves and from under his coat, and
then asked the Secretary to arise from
his chair. Then he pointed reproach-
fully to half dozen cards scattered on
the seat and said sorrowfully:
"I didn't think you'd do it, Mr.. Shaw.

tricks
The Secretary looked his bewilder-
ment, as he had not been out of his
chair since the magician entered the
room.

THE STEEL TRUST CRITICISED.

At the meeting of the@bnlion dollar
steel trust the other day it was decided
to issue $3.50, 10000 in five per cent.
bonds, with which to take up 5000, O0O-
600 of the seven per cent. preferred
stock, and to make improvements in
the plants of the trust. The opinion
is being expressed that it would have
been a much wiser plan to have re-
tanned the preferred stock and to have
made the improvements out of the
earnings.
According to the published report
the amount remaining, after paying all
of the fixed charges. seven per cent.
on the preferred and four per cent. on
the common stock, was over $4,000, 900.
If s5O,O00,00O was needed for i'm
provements a less per cent. could have
been paid on the common stock.
The net earnings of the trust for
the year just closed We're enormous
being about Sill 900, 900. But it is by no
means certain that the earnings will
continue to be as great as that for a
series of years. 1t has been said that
the iron and steel trade is either a
prince or a pauper Some years it
pays enormous profits and other years
it pays nothing. That is why it is now
said that the directors of the trust
would have acted with greater wisdom
if they had not increased it's bonded
Indebtedness. While in the fruitful
years there will be no difficulty in
paying the fixed charges, it may be
impossible to pay them in barren
years. Attention is called to the fact
that some of the great railroad cor
porations are turning their bonds into
preferred stock as they fall due. al
though they have to pay higher div
idend. for the reason that if the divi-
dend on the preferred stock is not
earned it does not have to be paid
A fixed charge, such as the interest
on bonds, has to be paid. If it isn't
paid the bonded property goes into the
hands of a receiver.
OF course the steel trust saves S4,-
100000 a year by taking up $500, OO0, OOC
of preferred stock and issuing bonds
for it. but in a year of bad business
the chances are that it will wish it had
preferred stock instead of bonds to
deal with. because it would not have
to pay dividends on the stock if it did
not earn them.

If Mr.. Rourke needs any concession
from the city to help along his dry
dock scheme, he ought TO have it,
promptly and cheerfully. The need for
docking facilities at this port is recog-
rlized on all hands. 1t frequently oc-
ours that vessel finding herself in
distress along this coast is compelled
to go all the way to Newport News
for necessary repairs, the trip involv-
ing considerable cost in towage and
loss of time as we'll as the dangers
of the North Carolina capes. A dry
dock of large capacity here would not
only be of benefit to shipping. but
would add greatly to the trade and
Importance of the port. And in all
probability the establishment of such
a dock would be followed before very
long by the erection of a shipbuilding
plant. With no such plant on this
coast south of Virginia. there would
seem to be an opening for shipbuilding
in Savannah. At all events, there is
an opening for high-class repair sta

no adequate return, unless he were able
to demonstrate TO the world that he
was a great cabinet minister. Just
now there is nothing that promises any
cabinet officer an opportunity to make
a great reputation.
But the mention Of all of these things
in connection with Mr.. Hanna's name
indicates that he is the real leader of
his party. There may be ADLER Repub-
licans in some particular direction, but
for an all-around man he doubtless
stands at the head of his party. He
has been it's boss for a number of years
and the evidence seems to be conclu-
sive that he will hold the position a
while longer.
