AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS.

An Illustration Of what an indus

Gainesville. Ca Mr.. Smith has had
no Use OF his legs since birth, but he

wrong. unintentional, no doubt. 1t is
claimed by South Georgia Democrat"
that Col. Estil's newspaper. the Sa-
vannah News, refused to support
Spencer r. Atkinson in his race for
Governor, and claiming for Mr.. At
kinson that he was a resident of South
Georgia Mr.. Atkinson al the time of
his candidacy for Governor. had been
a resident of Atlanta, Ga, for two
years. To prove this, South Georgia
Democrat" will only have TO investi-
gate Mr.. Atkinson-s election to the
Judgeship of the Supreme Court. TO
which office Mr. Atkinson was elected
by the same Legislature that defeated
Hon. Henry G. Turner for the United
States Senate. If the date of these
events is looked up the statement that
Mr.. Atkinson was a resident of Allan
ia at the time of his candidacy will
be found to be correct.
Col. Estill has been soldier, is con-
nected with various charitable institu-
lions, is a successful man and a Chris
tan gentleman and is in every respect
equal 10 the other two candidates for
Governor. South Georgia should stick
TO him.

Another South Ga. Democrt.

Albany Herald: 1t is all right for
pious people to be politicians; for de-
Voutly pious men to run for Office or
take an active part in politics. The
more real piety in politics the better.
But church and state must be kept
separate, and whenever a clergyman
goes to making campaign speeches or
sending out cards or circulars in the
interest of any political candidate or
faction right then and there his peo-
pie ought to ask him to vacate his pull
pit. There are some preacher poll
ticians in Georgia to-day who are
prejudicing the world against the
church and doing Christianity more
harm than they are doing politics good.
To man who has been reared to re-
gard the Christian ministry as a sa-
cred calling, if there is anything more
disgusting than a he woman il is a
preacher politician.

amusing if Estill were to walk off
with the nomination. while Query and

TWO CLASSES OF FILIPINos.
The Better Element in Accord With
the Americans.

tue Americans.
David p. Barrows. chief Of the bureau
or non-Christian tribes of the Philippine
Islands, today gave. testimony before the
senate committee on Philippines. He sep
arated the F'ilfpinos into two elements, the
cultivated class and the subordinate class,
although the dominant cultured class is
small-only about a dozen families in every
town or a population of 10000 The re-
ma1nder have no education and no wealth,
and are controlled economically and socially
by the upper class. For two years. he said,
this latter class and the Americans labored
under great misrepresentation Of each
other, but there was an understanding now.
He agreed with Governor Taft that small
garrisons Quartered in the midst of the
Filipinos hindered the life of the town and
acted as an frritant to the natives. The
upper class, he said, possessed an influence
over the lower class that the United States
authorities have been slow to appreciate.
Among the lower class, Mr. Barrows
sa1d there is strong desire for social bet
terment, as evidenced by the sending Of
the children to school.
In response to question by Mr.. Hale, he
described the masses being uncultured
and uneducated, closely following the direc-
tlOnS and feelings of their leaders, whether
In hostility to the authority Of the United
States or in the exhibition of friendly
spirit.
Mr. BarrowS said that the declaration by
congress that liberal policy is not to be
followed would disappoint the influential
F1lipinoS and undoubtedly ALLEVIATE them
MT Barrows gave an extended account of
the efforts being made to educate the Fill
pinos He did not think it possible or de-
sirable to eradicate the old dialects

SERIOUS DAMAGE PREVENTED
Col. Aliens Tribute to Those Who
Opened the River.

Col. Allen, the engineer officer in charge
of the Improvement of the Potomac river.
gives the local authorities credit for their
action In preventing serious damage from
the recent floods. During the greater part
of February, he says, in a report to the
War Department, the river was covered
with ice which was from four to eight
inches In thickness and navigation was
largely suspended The Norfolk steamers,
however, were able to make their regular
trips On the 2oth ultimo the river, having
risen from heavy rains and melting snow,
the ice began to move out. BY the end Of
the month the ice had disappeared from the
channel, but the freshet was still increas-
ing. The highest elevation reached by the
freShet at Long bridge while the ice was
going out was 70 feet above mean low tide
No serious damage was done by the ice
in moving, which, Col. Allen says, may be
due to the fact that the ice had been well
broken up in front of and below Washing
ton by tugs under the direction of the
city authorities. Col. Allen adds the con-
servative statement that the water was
unusually muddy during the freshet and
some deposits Of silt occurred. The avail
able balance at his disposal is too small
to undertake dredging operations at this
time.
During the month complete repairs were
made to four of the twelve outlet gates Of
the basin, which had been slightly injured
by the constant washing of swells from
passing steamers since 1899.

Bill Authorizing Expenditure of ST.,

A bill authorizing the expenditure of ST.

and making $4,000 of the amount immedi-
ately available for the preparation of plans
under the direction of the District Commits

According to a statement made by Mr..
Mudd his proposition for the Improvement
of the Anacostia branch differs somewhat t
from the plans of the park commission on
the same subject. He makes the Pennsyl-
vania avenue bridge the line between the
portion of the river that can reasonably
be dredged for commercial purposes and the
portion which should be dredged for the
health and Identification of Washington.
Mr.. Mudd added that it is his belief the

CHINA'S PROTEST,
Opposes Further Restrictive Legisla
ton Against Her Citizens.

The protest lodged by the Chinese gov
ernment with Mr.. Conger at Pekin against
further restrictive legislation upon Chinese
emigration to the United States, and es-
pecially the Philippines, is in continuation
of the efforts initiated by Minister WI in
Washington. The minister soon after he
assumed office here began to file protests
with the State Department and he has since
conducted a vigorous agitation against Chi
nese exclusion. 1t is supposed that Mr.. WI
has acquainted his home government with
the situation here, and the danger to HIM
self of further activity in this matter, and
that the Chinese foreign office has accord
iEgly taken up the work itself.
The propriety of limiting Chinese immi-
grafton into the Philippines was the suo-
ject of a most exhaustive treatment by
General Otis, who assumed the response
bility of applying a system of exclusion
based in principle upon our own laws. hut

which to relieve the distress of the Boer
women and children. but were unable to
send 1t to them because Lord Pauncefote,
the British ambassador at Washington, OBJ
jected to 1t. He further charged that Lord

There were eighteen counts and specific

Just before the beginning Of the Spanish

tOcracy, meddled in our affairs and tried
ing joint protest against Americas inter-
ference on behalf OF Cuba. But when the

Sailors From the Vicksburg Maltreated
in Their Own Club Room.

1t may be that the collision which oc-
Cured between the Russian soldiers and
the crew of the United States steamship
Vicksburg at the beginning of the year,
while the gunboat was in a mud dock at
Niuchwang, will be the subject of further
representations to the Russian government
The mail advices which are now coming
to hand make out a strong case for the
American sailors. 1t Is shown that they
were attacked without reasons in their
own club room by the Russian guard and
were cruelty handled. The representations
made by Henry E. Miller. United States
Consul at Niuchwang, to the Russian COM
mander were extremely vigoruos and
caused protest to be lodged by the Rus
sian government, but a subsequent inves-
ttgation is believed to have established the

GOLD STRIKE IN KLoNDIKE
Pelly River is the Mecca Of the Miners
Now

portant gold strike made in February on a
tributary of the Pelly river, between that
stream and Yukon, forty. miles from Fort

When the news reached Dawson the STAN

scores of miners started for Pelly river.
The discovery was made by Dick Butler, an
old Yukon prospector, who staked a dis
covery claim and then went out to Yukon
to spread the news. Up to March 1 about
200 claims had been staked. Prospecting
showed that most of them were rich in gold
from the surface down.
