In the Senate Wednesday.

Washington, Jan. S.-During the
consideration by the senatestoday OF
private pension legislation, in re-
sponse to an inquiry from Senator Ba-
con. some important statements were
made by Mr. Gallinger, chairman of
the committee on pensons, in respect
to regulations adopted by the com
uittee to govern it in the considera-.
ton and recomnendatio ion of private
pension bills
He announced that none but abb.
solntely meritorious cases would be
presented to the senate for its con-
sideration and thatthe closest. scrutiny
would be given by the committee on
every bill introduced. He said that
no pension exceeding $50 month
would be recommended for the widow
of a general officer and that pensions
for the widows of officers would. be
scaled down proportionately.
The interesting case Of Dr. #Lazeare,
who at the instance Of John Hopkins
university and Of the government,
went to Cuba and submitted himself
to inoculation with yellow fever
through mosquito bites, and died from
the disease thus contracted, was
brought to the senates's attention by
Mr.. McComas, who inquired whether
DIR. Lazeare's widow would identified
to a pension. No decision was reach
ed. but it was the opinion Of Senators
zGallinger and Cockrell that the case
had not pensionable status

schley's Southern Trip.

Admiral Schley will start on visit
to the south, going to Savannah first,
where he will be the guest OF General
w. w. Gordon, of that city.
It need not be said that the hero OF
Santiago will be heartily welcomed by
the people of Savannah and those Of
every other southern city that he may
visit.
There is nothing sectional in the ad-
miration of the southern people for
Admiral Schley. This feeling is not
more general or more pronounced in
the south than it is in. the west or the
north. 1t is very moderate state
ment to say that fully nine-tenths OF
the people of the whole country share
the conviction that he has been gross
sly ill-treate6, and they esteem him all
the more highly because his enemies
have been so persistent and reckless IN
their efforts to rob him OF honors
which are justly his.
Winfield Scott Schley, 1t is true,
was born on southern soil, but be ad-
hered to the cause of the north in the
civil war and fought for it with con-
spicuous courage and ability. Il con-
gress, in which the representatives OF
the south are in comparatively small
minority, were polled on the Schley
case the declaration of an oyerWhelna-
ing majority Of its members would. be
that he has been greatly wroEged by
the navy department. So strong IS
this conviction that we expect to see
it asserted emphatically by congress
at its present session. The country
hopes to see such action and will ap-
plaud it enthusiastically.
Admiral Schley needs the rest and
recreation that be will ind IN the
south, and we trust that his visit will
be greatly beneficial to him.-Atlanta

Mayor Low Desires Publicity.

The new Mayor Of New York has
stated some self-evident truths in an
announcement he made just before his
Inauguration as to the service done by
the press in behalf Of good government
and his personal good will towards
newspapers and their representa tatiVes.s
He said it was his wish that every
department. of thescity administration.
should afford press representatives the
fullest information on all points re-
earding which the public had right
to know. His views as to the extent
to which publicity should be carried
may be judged from his further State
ment that, SO far as he knew, there
was no act Of an administrative or
executive character and none that was
legislative in is nature that. should be
kept from the people. He added that
the coveted daily and complete pub
liciity for his administration, and he
paid compliment in passing both to
The newspapers and those OF their rep
.resentatives who had been assigned to
his departments. He was satisfied they
knew their business. The retiring
District Attorney, Mr.. Philbin, paid
an even higher tribute to the newspa-
per men, saving they had assisted him
greatly in his work and had placed be-
fore the public what it was important
for them to know. Moreover, he said
he had never known any OF the news
paper men with whom be had been
brought into contact to betray his con
fdence, although several times they
had knowledge of important news whose
premature publication would have
seriously embarrassed his department
The enconiums bestowed by man
of such prominence and culture as Mr..
Low are not remarkable in anything
more than that he has clever percep-
ton of the truths for which Milton
and Junius fought in their battles for
a free press, but which many men in
public life do not yet recognize
Junius said in one of his Incompatible
essays that if it were possible to
imagine despotism with a free press
he would choose it in preference to a
humane and enlightened Government
with asfettered press, if that, too could
be imagined. He said this was be-
cause no great abuses were possible
when there were men who could make
them known through the public print.
On the other hand no abuse or usurpa-
ton was impossible to a government
where it had the power to veil its acts,
anything or everything, in secrecy.
IF Mr.Low has begun his admins
tration in the belief that the people
are entitled to know all about its acts.
he adopts different policy from that
of the Emperors. of Germany and Rus
sia, but he is in consonance with the
spirit of republics and especially of
this, the greatest of them all.-Cou-
rier-Jo Journal.

A Gloomy Outlook in Germany.

Berlin, Jan. 9.-The speech frora
the throne, read by the imperial chan
celIor, Count Yon Buelow, at the open
ing of the Prussian diet today, took
a gloomy view Of the economic silas-#
tion. It pointed out that the revenue.
from the State railroads III 1907 fell
considerably short of the estimates.
and that the whole results OF tie fnaK-
ciai year were Disappointing.
In the budget of 1902 the revenue IS
estimated below that Of the cErrents
year: but the balance between the
revenue and the expenditure is to be-
maintained without having recourse
to loan.
The speech announced plans for leg
islation providing for the housing Of
State workmen and Of officials earning
small salaries. Considerable credits
are demanded for the extension of the
State railroads and the promotion and
construction of light RAILROADS a new

eastern Prussia, declared that the up
holding of the political and economic

was necessary for the self preservation

Sugar Growers Appeal TO Congress,
Victims Of the Tariff Hold Session
Thursday.

New Orleans, Jan. 9.-Many Louisi-
ana cane sugar growers in session here
today unanimously adopted a protest
to oscongress against the proposed con-
.cession to the products of cane sugar
IN the Island of Cuba, in part as fol-
lows:
Though the United States has
given to Cuba freedom for which
She was formerly fighting hopelessly,
tie CubaDs now desire that they shall
be helped by the remission by our gov
eminent of the sugar duties levied un-
der the Dingley tariff. We protest.
because this method singles us out
from among all the sons of oursAmer-
ican country as the victims whose
substance is to enrich the canetields of
Cuba.
1--WE protest against their demands
because they will result in establish
ing a rate Of tariff on agriculture pro-
duets from Cuba for all time, and
which will continue to lnjure us so
long as the tariff shall last.
eve trust that nsideration of this
protest will prevent any governmental
action on the lines laid down by the
Cuban delegates we trust so in our
interests as we'll as in those of our fell
low American beet sugar producers,
our vegetable and fruit growers and
our tobacco planters of the United
States
Copies of the protest were ordered
sent to President Roosevelt and to
