MORGAN OUT OF FAVOR.

Senator Morgan, chairman Of the In
| teroceanic Canal Committee, is out of
| favor it seems with some of the leading
| Republicans of the Senate. 1t is said
| that there is a movement TO remove
| him from the craftsmanship of that
! committee, on the ground that he is
! too old for the position, and that he
is so set in his determination to have
q bill passed authorizing the building
of an isthmian canal on the Nicaragua
route that he makes it disagreeable for
every witness favoring the Panama
route who comes before the committee.
This cutlery against Senator Morgan
seems to have had it's origin in the at
tack which he made on Senator Hanna.
The latter. as is we'll known, favors
the Panama route, provided a good
title can be obtained to the Panama
canal property. In one of the meet
ings of the Interoceanic Canal Com
mittee the other day Senator Morgan
told Senator Hanna that he was an
obstructionist. That meant in effect,
that Senator Hanna was simply trying
to prevent the building of any canal.
Naturally Senator Hanna hotly resent
ed the charge. and Senator Morgan
threatened to make the same charge In
the Senate.
Senator Hanna is one of the most
influential of the Republican Senators,
and it is not improbable that he IS
behind the movement to GUST Senator
Morgan from the craftsmanship of the
committee. When it is recalled that
Senator Morgan is a Democrat. and
was permitted to remain chairman of
the committee only because he had
been so long the leader in the effort to
have an isthmian canal constructed, It
would not be surprising if the Repub-
licans should take the Craftsmanship
from him.
OF Senator Morgan's sincerity in try
ing to get a bill passed authorizing
the construction of a canal connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans there
is no doubt. 1t may be that he is a
little more aggressive than he ought to
be sometimes in advocating the Mica
delay in the talk of the Panama route.
He does not believe that a good title
to the property of the Panama Canal
Company can be obtained, and he is
satisfied that if an effort were to be
made to secure title to that property
years would be spent without any
satisfactory result being achieved.
1t is because he looks upon the ef-
forts in behalf of the Panama route,
and the route which calls for a ship
tunnel five miles in length, as being In
the interest of those who don't want
any canal legislation, that he shows
the irritation of which complaint is
made. 1t is probable that those who
are earnestly striving to bring about
the building of an isthmian canal have
no fault to find with him.
The Republicans will hardly dare TO
remove him from the craftsmanship of
the Interoceanic Canal Committee. If
they were to do so the impression
would go abroad that the Republican
majority in the Senate was under the
! influence of the transcontinental rail-
reads, and an impression of that kind
would have a damaging effect on the
+ Republican party in the congressional
! elections.

SECTIONAL LEGISLATION UNPoPU-

Representative Crumpacker of Indi-
ana ought to be satisfied by this time
that Congress does not want to follow
his lead in an attack on the South.
There have now been two caucuses OF
the Republican members of the House
on his bill to cut down the representa-
ton in Congress and the Electoral Col.
lege of those states which have elimi-
mated from their voting populations
the iliterate negro voters. There was
a full attendance al the first caucus,
but at the second, which occurred on
Monday night, there was not a quorum
present, showing that there is among
the Republicans a lack of interest in
the subject Efforts we're made by Mr..
Crumpacl1er and those who are in
sympathy with him to get some sort
of action that would save them from
being put in the position Of having to-
tally failed in accomplishing their OBJ
ject, but the caucus would do nothing
more than continue the matter until
anotherepeeting.
That was a pretty good indication
that nothing will be done with the
Crumpacker bin or any similar bill.
In fact Mr.. Cannon, one of the leaders
of the House, said the proposed legis-
lation would do cne negro no good,
and that tire agitation that would result
from the discussion of the subject
would do the Republican party harm
in the North and West. He pointed
out that the discussion of the force
bill in the Fifty-first Congress result
ed in the defeat of the Republicans in
the following Congressional elections.
What Mr.. Cannon says on party mat
ters has a great deal more weight with
his party than anything that MIR.
Crumpacker says on such matters. The
reason there was not a quorum pres
ent at the caucus was no doubt be-
cause it was understood that the Re
publican leaders are against legisla-
ton of the kind proposed by Mr.. Crum-
packer and Mr. Moody. We have point
ed out number of times that the i'm
preston is gaining ground among the
Republican leaders that their party
has nothing more to gain by making
fight in behalf of illterate negro vo-
ters in the South-that it will stand
better chance of increasing it's strength
in the South by letting the Southern
people deal with the race problem in
their own way. Whether this statement
is correct or not it is apparent that
the Crumpacker bill has no chance of
becoming law

WHY ALL COUGHS
ARE DANGEROUS
NO MATTER HOW SLIGHT.

All coughs are caused by an irrita-
ton or Inflammation of the membrane
lining the air passages in the throat,
bronchial tubes and lungs, and no
matter how slight, are a menace to the
life of the individual suffering from
the same.
All cases of bronchitis, pneumonia
and consumption are, in the first place,
contracted through the membrane lin
ing the air passages. Every day, es>
pecially at this season of the year,
we inhale the germs of these diseases
in every breath. If the respiratory or
gans are infiamed or irritated, no mat
ter to how small an extent, these germs
find lGdgment on the infiamed sur
faces, receive nourishment, and null
tiply with great rapidity
The germs of an ordinary cough only
live from five to nine days, during
their life infiame the membrane and
thus the germs of other diseases are
enabled to obtain a foothOld
Heretofore there was some excuse
for neglecting a cough or cold, as no
stomach medicines ever invented could
do anything but deaden the effects of
cough germs.
Now, however, it is only through
negligence that these germs are al
lowed to exist for twenty four hours,
for HYOMEI, the new dry air germi-
eide, is the first and only remedy
known that will destroy the germs
causing respiratory diseases and
which can be inhaled in the air we
breathe, the method by which such
germs can be reached.
There is now no necessity for any
man, woman or child suffering with
coughs. colds, catarrh, Group, bron-
chitis or consumption. if they will take
the advice of the United States Health
Reports and breathe HYOMEI daily.
HYOMEI is sold by all druggists or

1t seems odd that so many courts
martial by regular army officers, to try
volunteers, should have been held
without anybody connected with them
having taken the pains to familiarlze
himself with the Articles of War. 1t
has remained for the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals at st. Louis
to discover. after some 200 volunteers
have been sent to the penitentiary,
that Article n of the Articles of War,
distinctly provides that officers of the
regular army shall not be competent
to sit on courts martial for the trial
of officers and soldiers of other forces.
Thus the time and trouble and expense
involved in these cases go for nothing.
for the reason that the officers and
lawyers connected with them did not
know the law under which they were
proceeding.

WHERE TREES ARE NEEDED.

We have no doubt that the Park
and Tree Commission is planning to
plant a good many trees before the
cold weather ends. 1t has seemed to
us for a long time that it ought to
remove the dead trees from the neu-
trail ground on Liberty street, and put
other trees in their places. Several
years ago two rows of Magnolia
trees We're planted on that street
Only a few of them lived. Is it not
time the dead ones were removed and
live ones put in their places? Liberty
is one of the principal streets of the
city. 1t is so situated that the atten-
ton of strangers is drawn to it. There
fore it ought to be made one of the
city's handsomest streets. We feel sure
that the people would approve the
policy of the Park and Tree Commits
sion if it would give its attention to
this street.
in favor of permitting the boys to use
the squares as Fairgrounds. If that
privilege is granted we might as well
give UP undertaking to beautify the
city. If there were no park extension
there might be a strong sentiment in
favor of turning the squares into play
grounds, but that great playground is
in the very center of the residence por-
ton of the city. AS a matter of fact
the hackmen are doing more to dis
figure Johnson square than the hOvs-
that is the parts of the square Dor
dering on the sections of the street
which they use as hack stands.

Some of the Northern newspapers
apparently take great delight in re-
ferring to the fact that there is no
color line in the Danish West Indies,
but that blacks and whites intermarry
at will and many prominent white men

strong reason why the island should
be taken in by the United States. We
note, however, that there are no black

Georgia can boast a drummer who
probably isn't paralleled in any other
state. He travels for a Savannah dry
goods and notions house, but he pos
itively draws the line at corsets and
playing cards. He will neither permit
such things in his sample cases nor
take orders for them. Formerly this
drummer was on the road for a Sa-
vannah grocery firm, and at that time
he refused to sell liquors and tobacco.
Since he has been in the service of
the drygoods concern he has been
elected to the Legislature from one
of the interior counties. AS a legisla-
tor, he receives free passes over some
of the railroads. When he travels on
public business he makes use of the
passes, but when he travels to sell
goods he pays his fare spot cash, on
