AS the upstate express stood await

young man came bustling into the
smoking car, says the New York Press.
1t was evident he was drummer: AS
he stood in the aisle and pulled off his
spring overcoat he beamed on the pas
sengers as if he was glad to see them
all looking so well. He dropped into a
seat beside a morose-looking indivld-
ual and tried to engage him in con-
versation. After several Intellectual at
tempts he asked
Where you from?"

"Aha Nice place is Buffalo, amt 1t

"Well, well! That's pleasant. Might

other. Then there was pause, which
the gloomy one enjoyed more than he
had anything so far.
well what is your name?" the
drummer persisted.

Smith, Ell? I had a friend once
named Smith. Mighty fine chap. What
line re you in?"
"What?''
II say what line re you in? What

"B-r-a-i-n-s, young man. I'm a lawyer

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
(Dem.) says: The public school sys-
tenn of the country seeks to make
readers, and writer's, and speakers, and
$4,000 900 of these is too many. The
world wants people who can do things,
and the sooner industrial education be-
comes part of the general education
the better"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
"Of course it is improper to look d
gift horse in the mouth, but it really
does seem that Mr.. Carnegie's $500, 900
donation to Booker Washington's
Tuskegee school would have a rather
more satisfactory look if it had been
made in cash instead of securities of
the steel trust, now selling around 50
and likely to so lower"
The Mobile (A1a-) Register (Dem.)
says: Senator Morgan is the only
public man who has had the courage
to call attention to the fact that the
remedy for any action by organized
labor that is contrary to the general
welfare is obtainable by state legisla-
ton. At the same time he does not
tell us how to get politicians to in
troduce any legislation of the sort. 4"

AT ODDS IN RESPECT TO DISIN-
FICTION.

A difference of opinion has arisen
between Surgeon General Wyman of
the Marine Hospital Service and the
health officers of Louisiana and Ala
bama as to the need for disinfecting
vessels arriving at South Atlantic and
Gulf ports from Havana and other
Cuban ports. The health officers of
these states are insisting upon disin-
lection just as they did before SO much
sanitary work had been done in Cuban
cities.
Surgeon General Wyman takes the
position that there is no longer neces-
sity for disinfecting every ship that
arrives at a Southern port from a Gu
ban port for the reason that it can no
longer be considered that yellow fever
is endemic in Havana or any other
one of the Cuban cities. He says that
there is no yellow fever anywhere in
Cuba, and that a case of that disease
has not originated in Havana within
the last two years. He looks upon that
city as one of the most sanitary cities
in the world. He says, however, that
vessels from Mexican ports which
touch at Havana will be disinfected.
1t is true, of course, that for two
years Havana has been practically free
from yellow fever, and the hope in all
parts of this country. particularly in
the Southern states, is that it will re-
main so, but it does not follow that
because no cases of that disease have
originated in Havana within the last
two years there will be no more yell
low fever there.
There has been a great deal of sani-
tary work done not only in Havana,
but in all of the other Cuban cities,
but is it of a character to insure good
sanitary conditions? Is the absence
of yellow fever from Havana during
the last two years due wholly to the
sanitary regulations which have been
put in force or to other causes-causes
which may not continue to exist? Ev-
cry once in while the fever makes
its appearance in some city in the
Southern states of this country-a city
that has been free from it for years.
The wiser course for Surgeon Gen.
eral Wyman to pursue is to keep on
the safe side for few years, at least
until it is demonstrated beyond a
doubt that the disease has been BAN
ished from Havana. BY keeping on the
safe side we mean that vessels from
Cuban ports should be disinfected.
That is the opinion of the health off,
GERS of Louisiana and of Alabama,
and they are better informed in re-
spect to yellow fever than Surgeon
General Wyman is. having had far
greater experience with it.

Out in Chattanooga they tell this
story of Civil War days: Chattanooga
Creek was the dividing line between
the outposts Of the Federal and Con-
federate armies, and during lull in
hostilities the pickets of both cult
waited one another's acquaintance, hav-
ing agreed not to fire on one another.
One day when the captain of the Union
guard saw Gen. Grant with his staff
approaching he said to his men: Turn
out the guard for the commanding gen
eral." The Confederates on the other
side of the creek, not more than fifty
feet away. heard the order, and their
captain, conceiving the idea of paying
a compliment to the enemy, shouted;
Turn out the guard for. the command
ing general of the Federal army" The
ragged Confederate pickets stood at at
tention for several moments. and then
saluted Grant as he rode away.

The Georgia Chautauqua is in fif-
tcenth annual session this week at AL
bany with one of the most attractive
programmes that it has ever present
ed. The list of speakers contains
many of the best known and most elo-
quent preachers and teachers in this
section of the country, and in addition
there will be entertainers of wide and
deserved reputation. There are indica-
lions that the Chautauqua of this
year will be the most largely attended
and successful that Albany has ever
had which is saying a great deal,
since that city has never had an I'M
successful one. Ample accommodations
have been provided for all who may
care to attend, and attractive rates
have been made by the railroads for
the occasion.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
1 wouldn't be single thing on earth
Except a boy;
And yet it's just an accident OF birth
That I'm a boy;
And, goodness gracious! When l stop
and think
That / once trembled on the very brink
OF making my appearance here a girl
1t fairly makes my ears and eyebrows
curl
But I'm boy.
Just think of all the jolly fun there is
When you're a boy;
I tell you. you're just full of business
When you're a boyi
There's fires to build in all the vacant
lots,
Go swimmin', tie the fellers' clothes in
knots,
Tie tin cans on the tails of dogs-why,
The days amt half as long as they
should be
When you're a boy!
There's lots of foolish things that make
you tired
When you're boy!
There's heaps of grouchy men that
can't be hired
So like boy;
There's wood to chop at home and coal
to bring
And here, do this-do that-the other
thing!"
And, worse than all. there's girls-O,
holly smoke!
Are they a crime, or are they just a
joke
Upon boy?
And then, there's always somebody to
jaw,
When you're boy!
Somebody always laying down the law
To every boy!
Pick up your coat; see where you've
put your hat;
Don't stone the dog; Don't tease the
poor old cat;
Don't race around the house"-why,
suff'rin' Moses!
The only time you have to practice
things like those is
When you're a boy!
And yet don't believe I'd change a
thing
For any boy;
You've got to laugh, to cry, to work.
to sing,
To be a boy;
With all his thoughtless noise and
careless play
With all his heartfelt trials day by
day,
With all his boyish hopes and all his
fears,
I'd like to live on earth a thousand
years
And be a boy.

ITO educate the negroes as teach
ers, physicians, lawyers and other oc-
equations of that kind is to invite
failure" says the Montgomery Adver-
tiser. The New York Post takes this
to mean that the South is against
the really educated negro" and that
philanthropy will not be allowed even
to educate" That, of course, is not
the South's position. The fact is that
there is slight demand for the negro
in the learned professions. When a ne
gro needs the services of lawyer or
a doctor he goes to white man, not
to a black one, because he has more
confidence in the white mans abil-
fly and integrity. And the same is
the case when a white man had need of
a lawyer or a doctor. This is true
both North and South. To create a
number of colored professional men,
therefore, is to provide supply for
which there is no demand; and with
out patients and clients. how are the
colored doctors and lawyers going to
exist? Manifestly. therefore. to edu-
cate the blacks for learned professions

A MEMORIAL DAY SUGGESTION.

In his address at Madison yesterday
Gov. Terrell made suggestion, which,
there is good reason to believe, will be
heartily approved. 1t is that the state
assume the care and the marking of
the graves of her sons in Confederate
cemeteries who fell fighting for the
rights of the states and the cause of
the South in the Civil War. He does
not think the expense would be much,
since the work would be under the
supervision of the local memorial as
sociations.
His plan is that state memorial
board be established with authority
to accept all deeds conveying title to
the state in Confederate cemeteries.
With such a board it would not be
difficult to get from the Legislature
annual appropriations for the proper
care and marking of the graves.
The Governor called attention to the
fact that Georgia has been exception
ally kind to her veterans and the wild
ows of veterans. He pointed out that
she gives in pensions very nearly as
much as all the other Southern
States combined.
And because she has been so liberal
in the matter of pensions it is proba-
BILE that she will undertake this other
duty which the Governor points out.
1t will be only few mora years before
about all of the veterans will have
passed away. Nearly forty years have
come and gone since the close of the
conflict in which they sacrificed so
much, and those who are still with us
are showing in a marked degree the
infirnities of age. There is but little
more that can be done that would
contribute to the happiness of their
remaining years. Whatever shows
that they have a place in the hearts
of the people, and that they will not
be forgotten when they shall have
passed from the scene of action will
add TO their happiness. The care and
marking of the graves in Confederate
cemeteries will help to show them this.
1t is a duty therefore that ought to be
performed. We have no doubt that
the Governors suggestion will receive
favorable considera ton from the Leg
islature.
