THE CENTRAL's INCOMES.

The Central OF Georgia's dividend of
only per cent. on it's first income
bonds is the subject of great deal Of
comment in New York as we'll as here.
If there had been falling off in the
roads earnings a smaller dividend than
was paid the previous year would have
been regarded as a matter of course.
The truth is, however. that the earn
ings were very much larger than they
were the previous year.
In its comments on the three per
cent. dividend in it's financial article,
the New York Evening Post says:
"Since the company has suffered no
diminution of net income, despite an
increase in operating expenses of near
ly $S09,000 the past year, persons inter-
ested in the property were compelled
to attribute the reduction of the inter-
est payment to one of two other posi-
BILE considerations. Even with a per
cent. payment upon the first preference
incomes, and with a ratio of expenses
exclusive OF rates to earnings of SOL
per cent, the company could report a
surplus of $201,352. Critics. therefore.
must assume either that the directors
have under consideration a more elab-
crate programme of expenditure for
Improvements than they have follow
ed hitherto. or that the interests in
control of the road through its stock
prefer better to concentrate the va
rious preference income issues in their
own hands before permitting any adj
ditional advance in these bonds"
The annual report of the company
will be out in few days and 1t will
then appear what was done with the
earnings. 1t will be seen probably that
the company has gone to great expense
for new steamships, for improvements
on its lines and for equipment. and has
adopted the policy of paying for these
things out of the earnings rather than
of issuing bonds for them. If the earn
ings continue to increase as they have
in the last two years the Central will
be paying on all classes of it's incomes
within the next three or four years-at
least its earnings will justify dividends
on all it's incomes and perhaps on its
shares.

Times-Democrat, land it proved to me
more than anything. have seen late
ly the resourcefulness of some of the
men who engage in the smaller activi-
ties OF modern life. 1t was rather late
IN the afternoom when a young man
rushed into my office like he was in a
fearful hurry. He did not knock. did
not speak as he entered, and did not
even favor me with a glance. He had
bundle in each hand, and threw them
down on the floor, and at once began
10 unpaek an outfit of some sort. To
tell the truth. felt just a little alarm
ed at the fellows conduct, for it Seem
ed tn me that I had been swooped
down upon by a crazy man. He was
working in dead run. He unpacked
one OF his bundles, and to my aston.
lshment stretched out a wire frame of
some sort, and stood it up in the mid
die of the floor. All this time he never
looked at me and never said a word

TO tell about 1t. During all this time
the joints of the wire frame had been
popping, and the strange fellow had
been working as if his life depended
upon the result. Looking at me, when
he had finished the task, and waving
his hand at the dummy which stood in
the middle of the floor he asked with
triumphant intonation: Now, what
do you think of that? ?" These were
the first words he uttered. The whole
business was so sudden, and the ped
dler's plan of pushing his wares was so
clever that l had been dazed some
what. But 1 hanged to tell him it was
all right, and before he left he had sold
me one of his curious racks which he
said, made every man the creaser of

Is HE A NfISFITt

Mr.. Schwab is the authority for the
statement that he is not going to resign
the presidency OF the United States
Steel Corporation. He is, however, go
ing to Europe for rest. 1t is stated
in some of the dispatches that he is
suffering from nervous prostration.
1t is rather strange there should be
such conflicting stories concerning his
relations with the great steel trust. 1t
does not seem probable that these stor-
les would be Observation-Disclosures coming
from his relatives and physician-if
there were not some foundation for
them.
The Philadelphia Press. which ap-
pears to keep in touch with the coal,
iron and steel interests of the country,
regards Mr.. Schwab as a misft, as the
president of the steel trust. 1t admits
that he is a. very able man, and that in
some positions is invaluable, but that
as the steel trust is an industrial en-
pire an industrial statesman is needed
to conduct it's affairs. 1t is of the opin-
ion that Mr.. Schwab is not an indus
trial statesman.
Speaking Of him 1t says: HE is a
plunger Plunging does not go swell
with $1,40O, OoO,0OO of capital, $4,000
shareholders, relations with great
banks and a world trade. Some change
has for some time seemed likely. Men
like Mr.. Schwab displace themselves"
Is it fact that Mr.. Schwab is
plunger, or did the idea that he Is arise
from the report that he did little
gambling at Monte Carlo during his
last trip to Europe? 1t will be recalled
that the dispatch that he was one of
the players at Monte Carlo caused a
good deal of stir in financial and in
dustrial circles. May it not be that
confidence in Mr.. Schwab began to de-
cline about the time of his Monte Carlo
experience?
1t Is probable that Mr.. Carnegie's in
fiuence placed Mr.. Schwab at the head
of the steel trust. He proved himself
so capable while with Mr.. Carnegie
that it was thought he was the man
to manage the steel trust Has that
opinion been shown to be incorrect?
Is Mr.. Schwab. as the Philadelphia
Press says, misft?

SECRETARY SHAW'S TARIFF
VIEWS.

1t is evident that the time is not
close at hand when the Republican
party will undertake the revision of
the tariff If MIR. Shaw. the Secretary
of the Treasury, is consulted in respect
to the matter. In his speech at Nor
risville, Vt, on Tuesday ne said there
vas never a time when he would not
change some of the tariff schedules.
but that he would not trust the re-
vision Of the tariff to those who were
not the friends OF protection.
He said that he took ii for granted
that the Republican party. IL it re-
manned in power. would modify the
tariff in important particulars just as
soon as the friends of protection felt
themselves strong enough to control
legislation, IL the tariff revision were
undertaken. In view of the fact that
all through the West Republicans, as
well us Democrats, are demanding a
reduction of the tariff, particularly on
articles which are manufactured ny
trusts, it will be long white Before
the protectionists will feel themselves
strong enough to control the situation
in the event of the opening of the
tariff question.
Secretary Shaw can be put down as
being opposed to an attempt to reduce
the tariff, and 1t is probable that his
position is that of the great majority
of the Republican leaders, though, as
already pointed out, a big percentage
of the Republicans of the West favor
tariff revision. The only hope of put
ting a check upon trusts by lowering
the tariff on protected articles is In
giving the Democratic party control OF
the government.
1t seems, to us that if the Democratic
party will make the tariff the leading
issue in the presidential campaign in
1904 it will stand an excellent
chance of electing not only the Presi-
dent but also the House. Attention is
being directed more and more to the
tariff issue. Secretary Shaw's asser-
ton that a movement in the direction
of tariff for revenue is always fol-
lowed by depression in business is not
sufficiently close to the facts to scare
the country. Better reasons for
hard times can be found than tariff
Legislation.

will be ''in accord with the Presidents

says: And it seems possible that
Justice Shiras is not unfamiliar with

younger men there" If there is a
place in the public service where old,
mature, settled men are wanted. 1t is

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: The sugar makers of the Unit
ed States will have some time in which
to muster their resources for the pro-
lection of their home industry, but they
will be wise to consider the prospect
of the annexation of Cuba as well-nigh
inevitable"
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.) says: IF it be true that it was
Justice Gray and not Justice shiras
who changed his mind and the SUI
preme Court decision on the income
tax, Justice Shiras ought to be enti-
tied to some sort of compensation in
the public mind for the foundations
so long and so patiently borne. The
etiquette of the court has kept the
secret long, but as fierce a light has
beat upon that opinion as ever fell on
a throne"

The mountains tower proudest,

The landscape is the grandest-
And politics the d--dest,

The Manchester IN. H.) Union says
IF cotton manufacturers North and
South insist upon the retention of the
tariff for the benefit of their employees.
why do they not allow the employees,
especially those in the South, to profit
by the protection? Because the diyi-
dend is the important thing. 1t is that,
and not the mill worker. which the
tariff is intended to protect. AS far as
the Northern mills are concerned,
there can be but little difference be-
tween competing with cheap foreign
labor and competing with cheap South
ern labor. IL there is money for the
Northern mill in competing with the
latter land there must be- or they

order is that clerks who play poker

most successful country in the world?
Because OF her schools. No so much
because of her colleges and universi-

because of her public schools. Why is
Spain so backward? Because she does
not devote sufficient attention and
money to the establishment of schools.
