DIDN'T PRACTICE HIS DOCTRINE.
Advocate of Prohibition Not a Strong
Practitioner

A Church street family is still laugh
ing heartily at the discontinue of a
guest in their home few days ago.
There are others like him, but his
discovery was very amusing.
Il believe AmerIcus is a dry town
remarked the visitor the next day after
he anchored here.
Supposed to be" was the nonoha-
lent reply of his host who, while he
knew better, was willing for his guest
to have that impression.
Oh Z love dry town; SO orderly,
SO sweet and far removed from the in
huence of the demon, drink. Fol
drink is verify demon that depraYe:
the son of man. he sighed.
And thus for an hour this advocate
of drouth preached on.
That evening, shortly after the ar
rival of tie Macon train here, there
was ring at the bell.
The gentleman of the house respond

meeting of the city council yesterday
afternoon when Mr.. Henry G. Mitchell,
city clerk and treasurer, rendered to
that body his resignation, effective

Among some Of his close friends it
was known that he had this step in
contemplation.
Clerk Mitchell has been rendered re
Gently very desirable and lucrative
position with the AmerlcUs Oil Com

prompted his resignation yesterday.
He has filled his present position
with the city most acceptably aud the

valuable services.

THREE CLASSES OF RAILROADS
Railroad Commission Issues Import
ant Circular.

Americas shippers and others will
be interested in the fact that the Rail-
road Commission has just issued an
unusually important and interesting
circular abolishing the old classified
ton of railroads and creating an en-
tirely new one, Under the old CLASH
fcation there were seven different
kinds of railroads, and these are al
lowed to charge the standard tariff
plus certain percentage according to
the class they were placed in. Under
the new classification there are only
three classes, which greatly simpllties
the situation. This new order goes
into effect, Oct. 18th, 1902. II
abolishes the seven classes of roads as
stated and creates three new classes,
The Southern, Central, Coast Line and
the Seaboard Air Line are all IN the
second class.

OUR fIsHER!Es.

Prof. Gilbert OF the Albatross tells
US that the food fishes of Hawaii are
lew IN number and poor In quality. In
mat case II seems incumbent on the
united states Fish Commission to do
what II can to remedy the lack. Other
tropical islands, similar as to shore line
ihlets ana sea bottom to these of Ha-
wan have edible fish which ought to
thrive here. Cannot these varieties be
introduced? Cannot we have our sea
preserves replenished and grated with
new stock just the same as we are add
ing TO and improving, through govern
inent aid, our timber and plant re-
sources?
These islands in particular need fish
and plenty OF them. japanese, who
form the majority population, are all
iish-eaters. The natives prefer fish to
anything else than poi. Chinese and
whites make much use OF all forms of
sea food. Mullet ponds cannot alone
meet this supply. There must be plenty
OF deep sea fishing to depend upon.
Something could be done, of course.
TO Increase the number of fishes we
now have by stopping the methods

FREEDOM FOR THE PHILIPPINES.

So far as the Philippines are concern
Ell we are getting uut N the woods. IN
MS Memorial address at Arlington the
President. FOR the first time, spoke OF
Phiiippine Independence as The ultimate
goal OF our efforts In the East Indies.
Independent Is a word which has been
studiously avoided in the past both by
Roosevelt and Mckinley. There have
been mild substitutes FOR IL but nothing
that Indicated purpose or even VIII
ingness on the part Of the Government
to let the Philippines GO Now, now
ever, the President speaks OF the Amer
lean design as being the SLOW intro
duction Of the orderly liberty, the law
abiding freedom of the lndlNlduhl
which is THE ONLY SURE FOUNDA-
TON UPON WHICH NATIONAL
INDEPENDENCE CAN BE BUILT
We are, therefore, building founda-
lion upon which the Filipinos, when
they are able. will be permitted to erect
their own edifice OF self-government.
1t is a project which ought to add
zest to our Fourth of july celebration.
To hold the Philippines as a conquered
province and make their people subjects
OF the United States. would be to sharp
~ dissent from the principles out of
which the Fourth of July derives its
meaning Moreover, to stay there In
any case would be to pile up military
and naval expenses, threaten the Mon
roe doctrine, weaken our line of ma
tional defence and invest us with dan
gserous local problems due to possible
changes i'm the tariff From every point
of view we are better out Of the Phil
lppines than in them.
Assuming that independence is not n
tentative decision it should be the duty
Of Congress to follow up the idea with
JOINT resolution such as was passed
for the benefit of Cuba proclaiming the
purpose OF the United States to ulti-
rnately leave the Philippines a republi
can form of government. If that were
done fighting would cease and two
thirds of the army might be called
hstue at once.

There is no likelihood that Marti-
nique will be abandoned. Even If the
Inhabitants who survived the eruptions
go, others viii come to take their
places. Where Nesuvus buried cities
the grape growers soon gathered ON
the ruins and that region is now COW
cred with villages and farms, Lisbon
was not abandoned when 10000 people
were swept into eternity by volcanic
wave. In the broken country where
Bandai-san blew up and came down
again the Japanese husbandman has
built his matched house and planted
his trees. Central America has been re-
peatedly crushed and riven by earth
quakes but the human tribe hangs on.
1t will be the same way at Martinique
and st. Vincent when the fires die down
and the country smiles again.
