CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark Dem.)
says: Senator Beveridge insists that
the tariff does not help the trusts.
Senator Lodge admits that the tariff
does help the beef trust; and, of
course, if the tariff helps that trust,
it helps others. The tariff trust ques-
ton is likely to develop a serious split
in the Republican party"
The Philadelphia North American
Rep.) says: There was quite a
furry in Wall street when it became
known that Russell Sage had eaten a
melon and some peaches for break
fast and was subsequently attacked
by pains in the seat of digestion.
What would happen if it became
known that Mr.. Morgan was indis-
posed? Truly capital is timid thing
to take fright because of the rebel
lious conduct of one mans liver"
The Louisville Courier-J ournal
Oem.) says: During our Civil War
the death of officers made little diff
ference in the fighting qualities of the
troops they led. Sometimes a regi-
ment would be so decimated that the
command would fall on a lieutenant;
sometimes a company would be COM
manded by a corporal: sometimes by
ranks and assumed command, and
the fight would proceed as if nothing
had happened. This would be impos-
sible in the German army, or in any
other European army"

PATTIsoN MAKING A STRONG CAM
PAIGN


Ex-Gov. Pattison, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Pennsylva-
MIA, is making such a strong campaign
that the Republican leaders in that
state are becoming seriously alarmed.
/ The Philadelphia Inquirer, one of the
I ablest of the Republican papers and a
! Quay organ, complains that while in
every other state the campaign is be-
ing conducted on national issues it is
/ being conducted in Pennsylvania on
only local issues for the reason that
Mr.. Pattison would have no chance of
/ being elected on a platform containing
national issues.
1t points out that Mr.. PattisOn's
friends think that if he should carry
his state he would be the strongest
candidate for the Democratic nominal
ton for President, and that they hope
to elect him by keeping national issues
out of the campaign and directing the
attention of the people to only local
issues"
The Inquirer says that while it is
true that Mr.. Pattson was elected
Governor in 1882 and again in 1890, the
years in which Mr.. Cleveland was
Elected President, history is not likely
to repeat itself. Evidently the In
quirer is whistling to keep up its cour-
age. If it thought there was no prob
ability of Mr.. Pattisons election it
would not care. whether the campaign
was being conducted by him on only
local issues or not. 1t would be willing
to meet Mr.. Pattison on any issues he
might select. The fact that it is COM
planning that Mr.. Pattison is aiming at
national position, although discus
sing "only local issues" is pretty good
evidence that the Republican leaders in
Pennsylvania view the progress which
Mr.. Pattison is making in his canvass
with great uneasiness.
There is no doubt of course that Mr..
Pattson is ambitious to be the Demo-
cratic nominee for President, and there
is no doubt that he has a chance of get
ting that honor. If he thinks he can
be elected Governor by discussing
only local issues" in the gubernatorial
campaign there is no good reason why
he should not confine himself to those
issues. The Republicans must be
afraid Of such issues, or one of their
leading organs would not intimate that
the Democratic candidate ought to let
them alone and take up national is
sues. Indeed, the Inquirer, by taking
the position it does, practically tells
the people that there are things be-
ing done in the states affairs that the
Republican party cannot defend. What
stronger argument could there be in
favor of electing Mr.. Pattison Gov
ernor?

WHY NOT LooI1 AT HOME,


We haven't a word to say in defense
of the employment of children between
seven and fourteen years of age stead
/ lily in factories, but from the number
of articles in the newspapers of the
North dealing with child labor in
4 Southern cotton mills. and the guam
I tity of pamphlets and leaflets treating
/ of the same subject which are being
: scattered over the South, il would seem
/ that the motive of the Northern agita-
/ tors Of this child-labor was not wholly
the welfare of Southern children,
/ but the elimination of cheap labor from
Southern mills.
There are two reasons for this view.
/ One Is that the seat of the cotton mill
industry in this country is gradually
being moved from the North to the
/ South. The report of the secretary of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange for
the year ending Aug. 81 last showed
that for that year the consumption of
cotton by Southern mills was only
about 100, 900 bales less than that of
the Northern mills. In another year.
Z
more cotton consumed in Southern,
than in Northern. mills.
The other reason is Chat in the coal
fields of Pennsylvania, if reports are
to be credited, there are thousands of
children employed in picking slate
from coal who have never seen the in
side of a school house, and many of
them are not more than seven years
of age. There was published in one
of the Philadelphia papers not long
ago a statement of a correspondent
who had just visited the scene of the
coal strike, showing the extent to
which the children of the anthracite
coal region were employed in the min
ing and movement of coal. According
to this account they were out in all
kinds of weather and at all seasons of
the year.
Why is it that the philanthropists
of the North who are so troubled about
child labor in the mills of the South
have nothing to say in regard to the
employment of children in the coal
fields? If they were sincerely interested
in the children, if they were moved by
motives of humanity would it not seem
as if they would undertake to institute
reforms at home before invading the
South?
We are not defending the employ
ment of children of tender years in the
mills of the South, children who ought
to be in school or engaged in the sports
and amusements which belong to child
hood and which are necessary to a
healthy body and sound mind, but it
is doubtful if children are employed in
the mills of the South as extensively
as these would-be Northern philan-
thropists would have the world believe.
We have no doubt that the Legisla-
lures Of the cotton states will take
this child labor question up and make
proper regulations for the employment
of children in mills now that cotton
manufacturing is assuming such i'm
portance in the South.

A PHASE OF THE COAL STRIKE.

A phase of the coal strike that is
attracting much attention in Pennsyl-
vania is the sympathy of the soldiers
in the disturbed section with the
strikers. Since the troops have been
on duty the terms of enlistment of
many of them have expired, and very
few have re-enlisted. The reason thew
give is that they do not wish to assist
in preventing the miners from winning
the strike.
On Saturday three men were dismiss
ed from the service and sent home be-
cause they refused to obey orders.
They told their officers that they re-
fused simply because they were in
sympathy with the strikers. The off,
GERS have no doubt that many of the
troops feel, in regard to the strike,
about as the three do who were dis
question if the troops could be depend
ed upon in an emergency. Certainly
some of them could not.
1t Is understood the officers feel that
way about it, and the purpose now
seems to be to send home the two regi-
ments on duty and to call out other
troops whose places of residence are
far removed from the coal fields. In
that way it is hoped to get regiments
on which entire dependence can be
placed
No doubt the sentiment in favor of
the strikers is pretty general in Penn
sylvania, particularly among all classes
of wage earners. 1t is a safe assertion
that more than half of the men in the
militia are wage earners. 1t is to be
hoped that a settlement will be reached
without such an exhibition of violence
as will make it necessary to use the
troops.

Personal.

Princess Victoria, the 10-year-old
daughter of the German Emperor, is
said to be a most naughty little lady,
with very exalted idea of her posi-
ton as a royal princess. She is much
beloved by her father, to whom her
mperious manner is the source of
much amusement. Speaking of her to
a friend recently the Kaiser said:
Sometimes when talking to me she
quite forgets that am Emperor, but
| am confident that she never for one
moment forgets that she is the EN-
peror's daughter"
Miss Rose Cleveland, the sister of
ex-President Cleveland, is a success
full farmer. She now owns about one
half of a 700-acre island near Isles
boro, Me, having within few days
acquired an additional tract of land.
Miss Cleveland has about 800 chick
ems, a large herd of COWS and a big
vegetable garden on her island, where
she raises prize pumpkins, fat chick
ems and makes prime dairy butter
She handles her affairs herself, it is
said, but employs a large force of
men. There is but one other cottage
on the island.

Chatham county occupies a position
OF high honor on the state pension list
In proportion to population. it proba-
bly, sent the greatest number of SOL
diers To he Civn Var of any county
in the state. yet it has fewer pension
ers than counties with one-hfth its
population. Fulton coutny has eleven
pensioners to Chatham's one. Bib
county four to Chatham's one, and
Richmond three to Chatham's one
Several OF the least populous counties
have two to Chatham's one. The Chat
ham veterans do not put in applications
for state aid like those of some of the
other counties. Is it because Chatham is
more prosperous than all of her sisters?
At all events, and whatever may be
the explanation, it remains fact that
may be referred to without dis2arag-
ing others that Chatham's soldiers
went into the war with the purest of
patriotic motives and came out of it
with unbroken courage and the deter
mination to rest their fortunes upon
their own energies. That so few of
them-eighty-n counting both pen
siOners and applicants-have asked
state aid may be taken as an evidence
that the old spirit still lives in this
section.

THE GOSPEL OF GOOD ROADS.

A few days ago Hon. w. G.. Brant-
ley, Representatives in Congress from
the Eleventh district of this state was
speaking with a representative of the
Morning News on the subject of trusts
and the Presidents policy of control.
He turned from 1t abruptly to say:
There is matter in which feel
more vital and immediate interest
1t is the building of good roads
throughout the state. If they were
constructed generally and the farmer
in the country placed in easy commun-
ication with the towns. his financial
condition would be more largely i'm
proved than by any solution of the
trust evil, as it at present exists.
that could be invented or applied"
Which expresses a very obvious
truth, though it does not seem to have
become obvious to the country people
of Georgia. Ease and rapidity of com
munication between communities more
or less widely scattered measure to a
large extent the degree of a country's
civilization and country's progress.
Certainly agriculture cannot largely
thrive when its profits are consumed
in the expense of carriage.
1t has been suggested that the con-
victs of the state be employed in this
manner, instead of being leased as
they now are to private parties. II IS
large question, offering much room
for difference and argument; it means
the expenditure of much money and
probable increase in taxation. Whether
the state should adopt the expedient
is a question for the Legislatures care
full and wise consideration.
But if not this, some other. Many
of the counties of the state, Chatham
among them, have good roads already
built at their separate expense, and
others are following the example that
has been set. When they are all in
line, when a chain of good roads
stretches from the mountains to the
sea, connecting every farm with its
market, Georgia will see dawn an era
of prosperity that has not been hers
before. She will be able to smile then
even at the trusts.

With her customary progressiveness
Savannah has taken to" the automo-
bile, and a considerable number of the
machines are to be seen on the streets
daily, for business or pleasure pur-
poses. The city has also become a ia
vorite resort for Northern AUTOMOBILE
lists, who come South in winter with
their apparatus, by reason of the mile
age of good roads in the suburban and
country districts. They are welcome.
and we all wish them a good time.
Meanwhile, there is one matter which
local and visiting automobllists would
do well to bear in mind. 1t is to re-
frain from excessive speed on the
streets and the highways frequented
by pedestrians and vehicles, and to pay
a strict regard 10 the rights of others.
We all want good roads, the auto peo-
pie as well as the people who drive
