The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-06-18

A COW and-a young lawyer supplied
one of the humorous incidents of the
flood at Topeka. The cow succeeded
in reaching the big Melan bridge. She
wandered back and forth discOnsolate-
ly, and occasionally gave voice to a
mournful below. On Saturday the
heart of young lawyer was touched
by the spectacle of such distress. He
got boat and bale of hay and start
ed to the relief of the animal. On
striking the current in one of the
streets he was promptly upset, and
nearly drowned. Not discouraged he
got another bale of hay and another
boat and for the second time heroical-
ly essayed the passage. This time he
succeeded. He carried the bale we'll
up on the bridge, cut the wires,
spread out the hay, and drove the COW
up to it. She gave one sniff and con-
temptuously walked away. She had
been just twelve hours off grass, and
her paunch was still full. Under the
circumstances she might have become
induced to eat hay in about a week.
The young lawyer now knows more
about the wants and the habits of
cattle

A Polite Pickpocket.

In the gentle art of separating a
man from his wealth the French are
not so far behind the times as might
be supposed, says the New York Press.
An Englishman. with all the egotism
and assurance of his race, was display
ing his money and other 'milor' at
tributes on the Boulevard Des Italiens
the other day when a polite French
man approached him and said in good
English:
Would monsieur be so kind as so
far to crafty the desire of a lady ar
fist in an opposite window as to stand
still for five seconds until she sue
ceeded in taking a photograph of
milor's face, which, she declared, ex-
hibited beau-coup characters"
Oh. certainly"
Just little turn of milor's head. If
you please. There, that will do. A
thousand thanks"
And the Frenchman departed with
milor's watch. Vanity had stuck out
all over the Briton and the French
man had been quick to take advantage
of his weakness.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appea
(Dem.) says: I'VE are becoming quite
fashionable. When 5000 miners went
on a strike in Arizona troops were sent
from Colorado to preserve order The
strikers are all foreigners and the SOL
diers will not seem so strange to them.
The fact that we must keep a stand
ing army to make us behave ourselves
is not a pleasant one to contemplate,
however"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem) says:
Ex-senator Marion Butler, who stated
the other day that the Populists would
hold convention and nominate a
ticket in 1904, failed to state whether
the platforms of 1896 and 1900 would be
reatfirmed and the same candidates
nominated. If he could make a posi-
lively affirmative statement with ref
erence to this matter he would some

REJOICING TOO SOON.

The New York Press devotes a long
editorial in its issue of Tuesday TO an
explanation as to Why the Iowa idea
died young" 1t seemed to overlook the
fact that it presented no evidence that
the idea was dead As a matter of
fact it will discover when the Repub-
lcans of Iowa and some of the other
Western states hold their state con-
ventions this year that the idea has
great deal of vitality yet-more, in
fact. than it has had at any previous
time
1t is true the President tried to kill
it during his Western trip, but it is
quite certain he did not succeed. The
Western farmers have never yet been
convinced that they were benefited by
having to pay for trust articles prices
which are about double the prices for
which these are sold in foreign mar
kets. And the Press doesn't attempt
to enlighten them. 1t simply tells
them they ought TO be satisfied with
the good prices which they are now
getting for their products.
II IL lIu tuty are getting DelteE
prices than they were during the
panicky time of 1898. and it is but nat
ural they should, but there is no as
surance that the present good times
will continue. The tariff had nothing
to do with the hard times of 1898 The
Western farmers know that, and the
effort TO make them think it did has
been fiat failure.
The Western farmers understand the
tariff situation. The Press isn't con-
trolling their opinions in regard to it
in the least. 1t may be deceiving it.
self. 1t will find when the Republican
conventions in the West meet this year
there will be a pretty strongly worded
demand for a reduction of the tariff.
The reasons the Press offers for the
death of the Iowa Idea" are not such
as will make an impression on the
clear-headed farmers of the prairies
They know all about exports and i'm
ports and they know where the prices
for their products are fixed. If the Re-
publican leaders and newspapers are
thinking they have choked the life out
of the Iowa Idea" they are going to
suffer a big disappointment.

WEAK SPOTS IN THE SOCIAL FAB
RIG

WEAK SPOTS IN THE SOCIAL FAB
RIG.
It is worthy of notice that in their
addresses this year college presidents
have given special attention to evils
in society which threaten the repub-
lie. For instance the Rev. DR.. w.
II. P. Faunce, president of Brown
University at Providence, r. l.. in his
baccalaureate sermon last Sunday
said: There are men and women in
America who seem to think that re-
lease from all responsibility is the
ideal of living. Supported by the re-
suits of their fathers toll, they them
selves bring nothing to pass. Con-
cealng mental vacuity behind the arts
of the caterer and the upholsterer
they live without thinking, swing
nothing heavier than a golf club, con-
tribute to society nothing more novel
than simian banquets and by lives of
luxury and alimony' SOW the seeds of
social revolt whose unwelcome harvest
their children must surely reap"
1t is of course a rather popular to
rail at the rich and leisure class. but
there seems to be some ground for
the complaints that are being lodged
against that class. The lives they
live and the examples they set are
bearing fruit. The evidence of this is
the unrest of the masses that shows
itself so frequently and signs of the
corruption in places of honor and trust.
President Angel of Michigan Uni
yersity addressed a part of his bac-
calaureate address to women. partic-
ularly educated women, asking them
to use their influence against immor-
ality as shown in the increase of
gambling in good society and the
growing laxness of divorce laws. In
this connection he said: Certain GUS
toms which are rapidly gaining
ground among women in what are
called the higher social circles de-
mand vigorous effort on the part of
intelligent and high-minded women to
secure the elimination of the element
of gambling from amusements and
games innocent in themselves. Fur
thermore We have a right to expect
from educated women pronounced con-
demnation rather than indulgent views
of the rapidly growing practice, for
which both sexes are guilty respon-
sible, of procuring under loose laws,
laxily administered, divorces on tri-
vial grounds or by collision and of
contracting subsequent marriages with
unseemly haste"
1t is a good sign that presidents of
educational institutions of the highest
class regard it their duty to call at
tention to evils which afflict society.
and are gradually undermining it
evils which are encouraged by those
who, in a measure, are looked to for
examples. If those who hold them
| selves to be the best people of a COM
munity give encouragement to things
which, if not wholly evil in them
selves, are calculated to lead to evil,
they should not be surprised If evil
things find an abiding place among
them.

Stuart Robson's Joke.

Of Stuart Robson it is said that in
his youth he was an incorrigible prac-
teal joker. says the Detroit News
Tribune. He was travelling in Eng
land with a friend "a man called Bill
one summer, and on the Liverpool
train Bill fell asleep. While he slept
Robson stole his ticket from his pocket.
In a little while the conductor was tC
be seen approaching.
Tickets Bill. Get out your ticket"
Robson said.
Bill, after a frantic search, said with
an oath that his ticket was lost. Rob
son then advised him to escape paying
by hiding under his seat. This Bill
decided to do, and when the conductor
appeared he lay on his back on the
floor, quite invisible.
Robson surrendered both tickets,
whereupOn the conductor said:
Here are two tickets. Where is
your friend, sir?"
Under the seat there the actor
answered. Il don't know why he
wanted to avoid you"
The conductor. surprised, looked I'M
der the seat, and Bill smiled at him
sheepishly and then crawled awk-
wardly forth.

THE BREATHITT COUNTY CASES.

1t is certain there is one place in
this country where law does not reign,
and that is Breathtt county, Ken
! lucky. A very remarkable murder trial
Is IN progress there, and the grand jury
of the county has just given evidence
that it cannot be relied upon to uphold
| the law
The trial is that of the case of the
state against Curtis Jet and Thomas
| White for the murder of a prominent
| lawyer named Marcum, who, against
the protest of the dominant political
| faction, had undertaken to show in the
courts that a recent county election
was fraudulent. He sought to secure
a recount of the votes, and was shot
| down in the Court House. The men
| indicted for the crime are now being
| tried.
| The principal witness for the state is
Capt. Even. He did not want to testi-
! fly because he knew his life would not
be safe If he did. He happened to be
near Marcum when the fatal shot was
| fired He was called before the grand
jury and had to give the name of the
man he believed to be the murderer.
He was offered $1,000 to testify at the
! trial that he was mistaken. He re-
| fused to accept the bride. Notwith-
standing the fact that he and his fam
lily and his hotel We're guarded by state
soldiers, his hotel, valued at $4,000, was
burned in the presence of the soldiers.

ran to the fire with the view of saving
his property. The opinion is that the
desire was not particularly to destroy
his hotel but to shoot him as he left
the protection of the soldiers to save
his hotel.
Two men, Crawford and Thorpe,
teamsters, were arrested for setting fire
to the hotel The evidence against
them was thought to be strong The
grand jury was drawn from Breathitt
| county, and it refused to find true bills
against them. They, therefore, were
released. And it is freely predicted in
Kentucky that Jet and White will rot
be convicted.
Grand juries are afraid to indiet and
| juries to convict in cases of crimes
of violence. Breathitt county grand
juries are ready enough to indict in
cases of crimes against property and
petit juries have no hesitation in con-
victing. But where blood has been
spilled they cannot be depended upon.
AS far as murder is concerned there
is a reign of lawlessness in Breathitt
county. 1t is said it is seldom an at
tempt is made in that and some other
mountain counties of Kentucky to
bring murderers to justice. And the
people of those counties, outside of a
determination to settle their private
grievances in their own way, are said
to be a very good sort. They have a
reputation for honesty in all matters
pertaining to property, and are quite
strict in their attendance at church.
1t is probable that the jury in the
Jett and White case will return a ver-
diet of not guilty if there is the least
ground for doing so. The jurors fee
probably that their lives would not be
safe in their old homes if they should
convict the accused men. And the
chances are they wouldn't

LICENSED COTTON WAREHOUSES;.

we have referred in our telegraphic
and local columns to the plan formu-
lated by the Board of Managers of the
New York Cotton Exchange for ex-
tending the present plan of certificat-
ing cotton to licensed warehouses in
the South, for the purpose of broaden
ing the scope of cotton deliveries so
as to make them practically national
in character. The committee that
worked up the plan is composed of
Fergus Reid of Norfolk, Va, James f.
MCGOWAN of Augusta, Ga, and Henry
Schaefer, p. A. Fachiri and James f.
Maury of New York. As we have
heretofore stated, it is proposed to
establish five districts in the South
with a licensed warehouse in each.
There will be one district for Norfolk
and Wilmington, one for Charleston.
Savannah and Augusta, one for New
Orleans and Mobile, one for Galveston
and Houston, and one for Memphis,
etc. The rules which govern classifi-
cation and inspection in New York are
to obtain at the several district ware
houses. Each warehouse must be
carefully inspected as to size, charac-
ter, rate of insurance. protection, ease
of receipts and delivery. etc. The
warehouse must furnish bond and
agree to abide by the rules of the
managers. Cotton will be sampled as
at New York. Transferring of cotton
from one licensed warehouse to an
other is to be provided for by a sys-
tenn like the governments system of
moving bonded goods. When cotton
has been received at a licensed ware
house and certificated. it becomes de-
liverable on contracts. The advan-
tages of the plan Will appeal to those
in the cotton business.
The details of the proposed plan
have been worked out. reduced TO a
pamphlet and mailed to all parties in
terested Whether it will be adopted
or not will probably be determined in
short while.
Anticipating the adoption of the
| plan, it would seem to be the part of
wisdom for Savannah interests to
take steps to have the licensed ware
house for this district located in this
city. There are abundant reasons why
it should be established here. Savan-
nah is the leading cotton port of the
South Atlantic section. 1t handles
more cotton than any other South At
lantic port, and in transporta-
ton facilities it is not approach
ed by any other market of the section.
Thus, for lease of delivery and re-
ceipt," it stands pre-emnent. In all
probability the determination of the
Board of Managers would be in favor
OF Savannah as the location of the IL
censed warehouse, because of the
many advantages of the port and mar
ket; but no chances should be taken.
II the warehouse is TO be established,
II should be IN savannah, and local
interests would do well 20 get at once
In touch with the authorities with a
view 20 planting II here.
