A wide-Open Policy shop.

Some men there are who will talk
politics in season and out of season,
and of such a class are two down. town
business men of opposing political
views, but withal good friends, says
the New York Commercial. They are
still thrashing over the recent munici-
pal campaign, but the acute stage has
so far passed that their controversies
now usually take the form of good-na-
tured chaff
Now you Fusionists," said the Tam
manyite, the other day, as they met
at lunch, "made your campaign largely
I might say, wholly-on the issue of
police administration. And now here
you are-your Mayor and your police
commissioner, both in the saddle-and
what have you accomplished? Right
at this moment, I'll wager you the
price of a dinner. I can take you and
show you a pOlicy-shop in full opera
ticn-not hidden but doing business
here on Broadway, and with not a
word said"
The bet was made, and out they
started to locate the den of vice" At
ter short walk, the Tammanyite
halted his friend before the New York
Life Building.
Behold and be convinced said he
grandiloquently, with a wave of his
hand at the palatial structure
We'll, they do play a little policy in
there, I'll admit. Name the place for
the dinner"

senator MASON TeIIs a storv.

Senator Mason, the rotund statesman
from Illinois. told a story to-day, says
the Washington correspondence of
the Philadelphia North American,
about friend of his. Bill visscher by
name, newspaper man, of Chicago
Visscher, he said, was in Deadwood,
. D., before that state had been cut
IN two, and was a victim of exceed
ing BAD luck. He had no money, and
was walking the streets wondering
how he could get a drink of whisky
10 cheer him up. He saw num-
ner of miners and cowboys enter a
saloon, and, noticing that they were
particularly disreputable in appear
ance and all carried guns, he follow
ed them in.
When he got inside he addressed the
assemblage without waiting for the
formaiity Of an introduction.
Gentlemen he said, II have just
witnessed a most deplorable incident.
IN saloon down the street a man
with gun forced an unarmed strang-
er from the East 70 take a drink of
whisky, even though the stranger pro-
tested that he had never tasted liquor
in his life, and was morally opposed
glaring around him, Il would like to
see some one try to make me take a
drink against my WILL
He had hardly uttered the words,
when there was a pistol shot, and a
bullet buried itself in the floor at his
feet.
Hold on" he shouted You have
me at disadvantage. left my gun
at the hotell''
Never mind that said the man
who had fired the shot. Here, bar
keeper" he cried to the man behind
the bar. Put up six glasses there,
and fill them all. YOU" he said. turn
ing fiercely upon Visscher, will drink
all of them"
Visscher protested, but another bull
let struck the floor at his feet and
he thereupon turned his attention to
the bar. The glasses had all been
filled, and Visscher emptied each in
turn, while the man with the gun
stood ready to enforce his command.
When Visscher had taken the last
drink and a row of empty glasses
stood before him on the bar he turn
ed a glowing and a smiling face upon
the bad men around him.
Now, gentlemen" he said, cheer
fully, "if any one will fill those glasses
up again I'll drink my way back up
the line again"

NAVAL STORES RECEIPrs.

During the season of 19O1-1902 Sa-
vannah's naval stores receipts were
not quite as large as those of the pre-
vious year, the shortage being about
10000 barrels of turpentine and about
5000. barrels of rosin. This is a small
shortage, however, in view of the to-
tai receipts, those of turpentine being
$4,000 barrels and of rosin LOO, 900
barrels. The shortage does not mean
that there will be steady falling off
in the receipts each succeeding season,
though, of course, if the present reck-
less methods of dealing with the
source of supply are continued it will
not be many seasons before there will
be a very decided drop in the amount
of the receipts. The shortage this sea-
son is satisfactorily explained without
reference to the gradual destruction of
the pine forests. And it is expected
that the receipts next season will show
a shortage. The naval stores opera
tors are trying to reduce the output
with the view of getting better prices.
The lowest price at which spirits sold
this season was 81 cents a gallon. At
that price there is little or nothing
for the operator, especially at the pres
ent prices of labor and supplies. The
present price of spirits is so cents. If
that price could be maintained oper-
ators could afford to pay good wages,
and they would make money. Last
season and the season before, however,
the price of spirits rose considerably
above so cents. Savannah is still the
great naval stores market of the
world, and there is reason to think
viii continue to be for many years.
The factors here understand the BUSH
ness thoroughly and make it to the
! advantage of operators to send their
| products here.

Yale's austere corporation, the Rev

Hartford, Conn, as Joe Twichell
says the New York Times. This, his
latest story, told by him at a St. Pat

of this loved and very lovable apostle
of the congregational faith:
Il became very much interested in a

of italian birth or extraction, and So
remarked to him.
Where were you born?" l asked.

name?" 1 asked instinctively.
Il took it," replied the young man.
why did you choose such a name ~
Because l wanted people to think
l was an American was his reply.

1t has just leaked out that Mr.. Car
negie might have been King Andrew
/ if he had so chosen, but like Cesar,
he thrust the temptation away from
him. There died in Paris the other day
a person known as Achilles 1, King
of Patagonia and Arucania." 1t is
said that some years ago Achilles,
being. rather hard up for money, offer
ed to sell his throne End country to
Andrew Carnegie. In view of the fact
that there are valuable iron deposits
in the country claimed by Achilles. Mr..
Carnegie took the matter under advise
ment; probably not because he cared
a rap for the throne. but if there were
good iron deposits lying around loose
he wanted to be in a position to pick
them up. After a time. however, Mr..
Carnegie came to the conclusion that
he would not go into the king business,
in it's political sense. He was content
to be the American iron king.

THE suB-rREAsuRY APPLICATIONS

1t was our understanding sometime
ago that Atlanta had abandoned her
purpose to make an effort to get a
sub-treasury, but it seems that this
was a mistake. An Atlanta delega-
ton of bankers and business men was
in Washington on Monday for the pur-
pose of urging the establishing of
sub-treasury in that city.
The inference from our Washington
dispatches is that the delegation did
not receive much encouragement
There was no good reason why it
should. Atlanta can present no argu-
ment for a sub treasury that Savannah
has not already presented, except per-
haps that her location is a little more
central. AS an offset to that, however,
there are arguments in Savannah's
favor which do not exist in the case
of Atlanta.
One great advantage of a sub-treas-
ury is that money can be obtained
promptly in large amounts. Savannah
has need of much larger amounts of
money on occasions than Atlanta, be-
cause her cotton, naval stores, lumber
and phosphate rock receipts for ship
ment abroad and to Northern ports are
enormous. A glance at Savannah
bank clearings shows this. These clear
ings are far greater than those of At
lanta. And it is at Savannah that the
planters get money for making and
harvesting their crops. 1t is true that
Atlanta is quite an important
mule market, but the sale of
a few hundred or a few thous-
and mules a year is not a
matter of such Importance as to make
a sub-treasury necessary.
OF course Atlanta has the right to
make an application for sub-treas-
ury but it is probable that the result
will be to prevent either Savannah or
Atlanta from getting it. Charleston's
application prevented Savannah from
getting it for a long time, but when
that city withdrew Savannah's pros
poets became brighter. 1t was unfor-
tunate, it seems to US, so far as getting
sub-treasury in this part of the
South is concerned, that Atlanta be-
came an applicant while Savannah's
application was pending.
