ALMOST the only objection which has
been made to the passage of the Post
check currency bill now pending in
Congress has been made on the ground
that it will give the Government clerks
a little more work and trouble and to
the average citizen this would hardly
seem to be valid objection. The bill
has the endorsement of LEADING fnan-
cial experts, and to those who have
given the matter any thought it ap-
pears to be the most simple scheme
ever devised to give the people who are
dependent to any extent upon the
mails for the transaction of this bust
mess a safe medium of exchange. Con-
gress should give heed to the growing
demand of the people for some system
of exchange whereby small amounts
can be sent through the mails with the
least risk and without the sender being
obliged to go to the trouble and ex-
pense of purchasing a bank draft,
postal order, or express order and pass
this bill. 1t is step in the right di-
rsction.

sPOONER DATE CANCELLED.
Senior SpoOner Finds 1t Impossible for
Him to Speak In KenOsha Wednesday.

Chairman A. E. Buckmaster of the
Republican County Committee this
morning received telegram from SEN
ator John Z. Spooner stating that It
would be impossible for him to keep
his engagement in Kenosha on We'd
nesday, on account of the condition of
his throat. The Senator is now under
treatment at his home in Madison, and
1t is probable that he will be forced to
cancel all his engagements for the re-
ma1nder OF the campaign. Senator
Spooner expressed regret that he would
not be able to greet the people of Ra-
cine and Kenosha on Wednesday after
noon and evening, and promised to
come to these cities some time in the
future when his throat would permit
speaking.
The telegram from the Senator came
as great disappointment to the Com
mlttee, but there is no help for the
conditions and all arrangements for
the big meeting have been declared off.
Chairman Buckmaster this morning
gave out the following schedule of
speeches to be made in the county dur
ing the next two weeks of the CAM
paign:
Friday, Oct. 24--Wal1ace Ingalls, of
Racine, in Salem.
Saturday, Oct. Wallace Ingalls,,
of Racine, at New Munster.

The following is the proposed
amendment to the constitution relat-
ing to the office of State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction to be voted
on at the next election.
Amendment to Section 1, Article x:
"The supervision of public instruc-
ton shall be vested in State Super
intendent and such other officers as
the Legislature shall direct, and their
qualifications, powers, duties and COM
pensation shall be prescribed by law.
"The State Superintendent shall be
chosen by the qualified electors of the
State at the same time and in the
same manner as members of the SUI
preme Court, and shall hold his, Office
for four years from the succeeding
first Monday in July. The State Su-
perintendent chosen at the general
election in November, 1902, shall hold
and continue in his Office until the
first Monday in July, 1905, and his
successor shall be chosen at the time
of the judicial election in April, 1905.
ne CCIu1 VI On4OOS LILLY ohO AA4dd-
ner of electing or appointing all other
officers of supervision of public in
struction shall be fixed by law"
This amendment is in no sense a
party measure, for it was supported by
the great ma jority of the members of
the Legislatures of 1899 and 1901 ire
spective of party. Of the 268 members
of the Legislatures which have voted
upon this amendment, but FIVE voted
against it. The amendment has re-
ceived the unqualified endorsement OF
the State Teachers Association and
all of the more prominent educators OF
the State, including Superintendent
Harvey, whose defeat for re-nomina'
ton is in itself an illustration of the
evil results of subordinating the inter
ests of the schools to political consid
erations and it should be supported By
all members of both parties who be
lieve that the interests of the schools
will be best served by divorcing then
from politics.

If the enemies Of Theodore Roose-
Welt are counting on Wall Street to de-
feat him in 1904 they are going to be
disappointed. If his course during the
coal strike has made him few hum
dred enemies among the stock gam
blers of Wall Street, it has also made
him a few hundred thousand firm
friends among the plain people and he
can safely entrust his future to them.
Roosevelt has grown amazingly in
strength and popularity among the
people during the past year. Never
before in the history of the country
have so many States been pledged to
the support of any candidate so far IN
advance of the time for the regular
campaign for the nomination to COM
mence. During the past year fifteen
States have pledged their support to
Roosevelt in 1904 and not single Re-
publican State Convention has failed
to endorse his administration. The
States that have pledged themselves
represent 394 of the 984 votes in the
National Convention of the Repub-
lican party, and while it is true that nc
convention can actually pledge it's sue.
cessors to support any particular can.
didate, it now seems almost certain
that Roosevelt will be re-nominated
and that any fight against him that
may be made by Wall Street will helr
rather than iniure his chances.

lat Zeefontein Battle
christmas Eve

The London war office Saturday at.
ternoon issued a list OF the British cas-
ualties at Zeefontein December "a,
when Colonel Firman's camp, consist
ing of three companies Of yeomanry
and two guns was successfully rushed
by Boer force under the command OF
General DeWet. The length OF the list
demonstrates the entire success OF De-
Vets attack. Six officers and fifty
men were killed, eight officers were
wounded and four are missing. 1t is
presumed that the missing officers
were taken along with the captured
guns.
The Beers, who apparently number.
ed about 1900, under General DeWet,
behaved we'll, leaving men to look af-
ter the younded.
The Imperial light horse were IA
miles away. They heard OF the fight
At 4:30 and arrived on the scene at
$50. After breathing their horses,
they galloped after the Beers, who,
however, succeeded in reaching the
broken country, where the light horse
was useless against superior numbers.
Simultaneously with the above the
war Office gave out a dispatch from
Lord Kitchener chronicling minor
success Of the South African constabu-
larry, who raiaed Bothaville and cap
tured thirty-six Beers.

pear on any of the maps in the pos

assumed that the surrender took place
in the island of Bohol, as 1t was there
that Sam son Of late has been operating
with his followers, having crossed over
from the former scene Of his depreda-
ton, the island of Cebu.

IGNORE RIGHTS OF THE CITY.
Owners of Atlanta Public Utilities
Make Sensational and Surprising
Move Toward Consolidation.

The first move in what is believed
to be the contemplated consolidation
of the street railway, electric lighting
and steam heat properties Of Atlanta,
Ga., was announced Thursday morn
ing by the application to the secretary
of state for a new charter for an en-
tirely new corporation, to be called the
Georgia Railway and Electric Compa-
ny, with a capitalization of S3,OOO,OO0
Failing to come to any agreement
with the city in regard to terms OF con-
solidation, after public hearings and
negotiations which extended over Pc
rioG of several weeks, the owners OF
the street railway properties OF Allan
ia. the Georgia electric lighting plant
and the power plant, from all indica'
tions, abandoned all idea of an open
consolidation and have flung down the
gauntlet.
The last move of the street railway
people is the most surprising and SEN
sational that has yet been made. The
city is practically ignored, from all out
ward indications, and it would seem
that Mr.. Atkinson and his associates
feel CERTAIN that they can consolidate
without coming under the ordinance,
placing the city in the attitude OF col
1ecting it's taxes as best it may.
Mr. Atkinson and others whose
names appear among the list Of incor-
porators were asked for a statement
regarding the effect Of the charter that
has been advertised, but they declined
to make any statement, saying that the
advertisement spoke for itself and that
they had nothing further to add to Its
contents.
The application for charter Is for l0l
years, and includes all the streets and
roads in Fulton and DeKalb counties
on which lines Of both the Atlanta
Railway and Power Company and the
Atlanta Rapid Transit Company are
now operating. The charter applied
for also gives the right to own and op'
crate electric plants, furnish electric
power and steam heat.
The applicants for the charter are
H. M. Atkinson, F. M. Sisk, P. S. Ark
wright, G. w. Brine, R. E. Cullinane, j.
G.. Rossman, S. j. Bradley, ]. r. Hun
ter, M. 3. Lipscomb and W. B. StoVall
all of whom are connected as officers
or employees with the companies in
question.

In a general fight between white

: The trouble grew out Of a crap

negroes to stop fighting. Holley, be-.
coming angered at the interference

Birds two sons, George and Reuben,
were with their father and saw when
he was shot. Reuben rushed tC MS
side, while George shot the negro, Hol'
lev. inflicting a fatal wound.
BY this time the negroes began mr.
ing on both boys, and then began TO
seek shelter. Reuben went to his "a
ther, who was dying, and was ordered
by George Woods, a negro, to run. The
boy begged to remain by his father,
but on failure to move, was shot dead.
