A Little Washington.
From Leslie's Weekly.


The boy stood on the antique chair
An earnest look he wore;
The sun that kissed his golden hair
Shone on the wreath he bore.
A flag that waved it's colors bright
In many battle-storm,
With silver stars and red and white
Outlined his childish form. ~.
At Washington with kindling eyes
He gazed-immortal name!-
1t caused within his breast to rise
A dream of deathless fame.
He spoke, in accents sweet and clear:
Say, were you once" said he,
"Oh, Father of my country, dear,
A little boy like me?'
And did you run, and romp, and slide,
And play with top and toy?"
A flood of sunlight glorified
The patriot and the boy.
Long, long with rapt and reverent
glance.
While fast the minutes sped,
He viewed that lofty countenance,
That proud and stately head.
Once more with features all aglow
The future hero spoke:
"A slender sapling oft may grow
To be sturdy oak,
And If / am brave and true
And never tell lie
The Father of my country, too,
May be, before die"
The sunset through the easement tall
With splendor lit the scene,
The starry banner on the wall,
The picture wreathed in green. 80 %
But north, or south, or east, or west,
From Maine to Oregon,
On nothing nobler did il rest
Than that young Washington.

4 PALACE OF PEACE

Mr. Carnegie may not succeed in at
tanning his ambition to die a poor man.
but he is in a fair way to win undv-
ing fame as peacemaker. 1t will be
recalled that he was much against the
policy of the government in the mat
ter of the Philippines He did not ap-
prove of the war for the subiugation
of the Islands, and he offered the gov
eminent the s20,OOO,0O0 which it paid
for them, with the view of turning
them over to the Filipinos. and letting
the latter govern themselves as they
pleased.
There is no doubt he was in earnest
in that matter, and would have parted
with his gold as quickly for that pur-
pose as he now parts with it for Ii
braries., few days ago it was an
nounced in the dispatches that he had
offered to Mr.. Bowen, Venezuela s. rep
resentative in her troubles with Great
Britain, Germany and Italy, $4,000
which sum 1t was understood Germany
demanded before she would consent to
raise the blockade of venezuela's
Poi 10 4 ne OlIeE was declined, not De-
cause it was not appreciated, but be-
cause Venezuela was able to finance
the difficulty herself
And now Mr.. Carnegie comes forward
with another proposition, namely to
furnish the money necessary to con-
struct a palace of peace at The Hague
Apparently it is his purpose to erect
such a handsome building that all ma
tions will flock to it for the settlement
of the troubles which they may have
with each other.
This palace of peace idea of Mr..
Carnegie is a good one Such palace
would tend to popularize arbitration for
the settlement of international difficult
ties. If the palace should be built
it would attract the attention of the
entire world and lead to greater eff
forts being made to substitute arbitra-
ton for war. If it should be erected
and should be instrumental in prevent
ing even one war Mr.. Carnegie would
be entitled to a place in history along
side of the worlds greatest benefac-
tors. is

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post Dem) says:
will certainly nominate Mr.. Roosevelt
for President. WE'LL if the Democrats
will only be wise enough to turn from
Mr.. Bryan and nominate a conserva-
tive man on their side, Mr.. Roosevelt s
nomination by his party should be q
very satisfactory matter. He would
be easier to beat than others the Re-
publicans might put up"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
when a man of the Senator Quay
pattern can hold up the United States
Senate for weeks, to force the passage
of bill in which he has a big personal
interest-a railway charter in New
Mexico, and also has a man for sena-
tor from that territory-when this hap
pens openly, Americans should be mod
est about criticising government meth
DDS in South America, Russia and
Spain"
The Louisville Courier journal
(Dem.) thus comments: Negro suf-
frage.' says Billy Mason, is not fall
ure in Illinois. This, of course, DEM
onstrates that 1t can be made a sue
cess. How? BY the policy of the IL
linois Governor, who proclaimed that
he would meet negro immigrants at the
states boundaries with cannon, and of
the Illinois town which only last year
expelled its negro citizens and broke up
its negro SCHOOL,"
The New York Post Qnd) says:
There is delightful and mathemati-
cal simplicity in President Castro's
method of meeting his payments under
the protocol. His creditors are to take
80 per cent. of the customs receipts.
Caramba! he raises all the duties 30
per cent, claps on an export duty and
stands pat-all this by decree. Certain
ly President Castro needs the aid of
MIR. Carnegie or any other Teutonic
. financier as little as he Graves the
praise of the German poets. Tariffs
however, refuse to be governed by
aXioms, and 1t is perfectly possible that
he will find that 30 per cent. of his new
whole is less than 80 per cent. Of his
old part. But pay he must somehow.
and doubtless viii cheerfully. for he
has made "A stir out OF all proportion
10 his own Importance. or that of the
nation upon which he has imposed his
rule"

GETTING TOGETHER.

! At last those who are interested in
the upbuilding of this city-the mer-
chants, manufacturers, owners of real
estate and Professional men-are be-
ginning to understand what we have
been trying to tell them these many
years. namely, that in order to bring
trade and investors here. to make this
a great city, the people must get to-
gether, must work in harmony for the
city's welfare.
We advocated a chamber of COM
merce recently for the sole reason that
it seemed to us that such an Organiza-
ton offered the best means for getting
harmonious action from all who are
concerned in the city's upbulding. In
such a body there should be represent
tatives of every business. profession
and occupation. The number of rep
resentatives should not be so large as
to make the body unwieldly, but
should be sufficiently large to insure a
good working attendance on every oc-
casion.
But in the forming of such a body
the thing that should receive the most
attention is the selection of members.
man is wanted in such an organiza-
ton not because he is a good talker,
not because he has wealth, not be-
cause he is popular, but because he
has average intelligence, because he
has good judgment and above all be-
cause he is an earnest worker.
At the meeting at the Screven House
Thursday night the point was made
that business men would not subscribe
to new enterprises because several of
those which have been established
failed, and the money put in them was
lost. And why did they fail? Was
it not because they were not we'll
managed? Was it not because there
was lack of judgment displayed in
iraugurating them. in the purchase of
machinery and in the selection of
managers? A business or a factory
that is not conducted on strictly bust
ness principles is certain to fail. a
business or factory that has brains,
honesty, thrift and industry back of it
is certain to succeed anywhere. Every
enterprise started in this city that has
had the support of these qualities has
succeeded.
A chamber of commerce constructed
properly and conducted with deter
mination to do something can be made
of vast benefit to Savannah. There is
one thing in particular it can do; it
can assist greatly in getting the peo-
pie together, in creating more gem
eral desire to work for the common
good. In the past there has been too
much selfishness, too great an effort
to look out for ones own interests
exclusively The fact has been over
looked that ones own prosperity is
promoted by the prosperity of his
neighbors. If we set ourselves to
work to build up home enterprises, to
assist the various kinds of businesses
which we now have and which may be
established here, we shall be surprised
at and gratified by the result. We
can advertise our city better by talk
ing for it, working for it, investing in
it and spending our money with It's
merchants than in any other way.

\ unique scheme for the collection of
had debts is to be tried in New York,
Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia
shortly. A company known as the
collector of Bad Debts has been in
corporated in New York. 1t will send
out yellow wagons with brilliant red
wheels. the name of the company be-
ing painted in Dig letters on the wag-
Ons, and these wagons will stop be-
fore the doors of persons against whom
bills have been entrusted to the COL
lecting agency. The brilliantly colored
wagon is designed to attract the at
tention of everybody in the neighbor-
hood to the fact that the person be-
fore whose door it stops is bad
debtor. The manager of the enter
prise says he has taken the best legal
advice and is satisfied that he is with
i'm the law. 1t is altogether likely,
however, that some Of the concerns
collectors will find themselves in the
hospital before they have made many

During a visit to the South with an
eclipse expedition some years ago, says
the Omaha Mercury. an eminent Amer
lean professor met an old negro serv-
ant whose duty it was to look after
the chickens of the establishment
where he was staying. The day be-
fore the eclipse took place the profess
sor in an idle moment called the old
man to him and said: Sam if to-
morrow morning at II o'clock you
watch your chickens you will find they
will all go to roost"
Sam" was sceptical, of course, but
when at the appointed time next day
the sun in the heavens was darkened
and the chickens retired to roost the
negroes establishment knew no bounds
He approached the professor in awed
wonder. "Massa,' he asked, chow
long ago did you know dat dem chick
ems would go to roost?"
'Oh, a long time" said the professor
airily.
Did you know year ago, massa?"
YES"
Then dat beats de debil." exclaimed
the astonished old man. "Dem chickens

In a Strange Land.

A Scottish tourist wandering, about
the streets of Paris, some distance
from his hotel, found himself in a maze,
from which he could not escape, and,
to make things worse, he failed through
ignorance of the language to get any
light to guide him homeward, says the
Scottish American.
Then a happy thought struck him. By
dint of signs he concluded a bargain
with fruit hawker for a basketful of
gooseberries, and then, to the amaze
ment>of everybody, went about shout
ing: Fine Scotch grossets, A penny
a punt This went on for a while, till
fellow countryman rushed forward to
him, and Selling him roughly by the
shoulder asked:

relief, we're just the man l was look

The decision of United States Judge
! Grosscup. in overruling the demurrer
| of the Chicago meat packers to the pc
/ tition OF the government asking for an
! injunction restraining the packers from
| conducting their business in violation
/ of the Sherman antitrust law, means
1 trouble for the packers. The purport
of the demurrer was that even IL the
| facts set forth in the governments pc
tition were true they did not cOnsti-
tute violation of the Sherman act.
Judge Grosscup took a different view.
He said that it was stated in the petit
ton that the packers not only combined
to get live stock at their own prices,
| by agreeing not to bid against each
| other and by bidding up stock in order
to induce shipments and then lowering
the prices when the stock arrived, but
that it was alleged that prices at
which dressed meat should be sold and
the amounts of meat which should be
shippsd to the various markets were
agreed upon. In other words there
was an understa ndng to keep down
the prices of live stock and to keep up
the prices of dressed meat. The judge
said that it was also charged that the
combination of packers forced rebates
and discriminating rates from the rail-
roads. In his opinion the Sherman act
was violated if the statements set forth
in the petition were true.
The question which now presents it,
self is. are the statements true?
Whether they are or not will be deter
mined by the referee, to whom the ques-
ton will be referred if the packers de-
termine to go on with the case, and that
they will go on with it there does not
seem to be any doubt 1t is not rea-
sonable to suppose that they will let
the case go against them by default.
They have until March to determine
upon their course. 1t may be that they
will appeal from the decision of Judge
Grosscup to the United States Supreme
Court. In that event no testimony will
be taken, in all probability, as to the
truth of the statements set forth in
the petition until after the Supreme
Court decides the appeal.
There is no doubt that the decision
OF Judge Grosscup is distinct advance
in the fight against trusts. 1t indicates
that the government has been derelict
in its duty in not bringing an action
against the meat trust and other trusts
long ago. The people were complain
ing that they were being robbed BY
trusts and the government knew of
these complaints, but though continu-
ally urged it did nothing in the
direction of enforcing the Sherman act.
1t excused its inaction by saying that
the Sherman act was not broad enough
to enable the government to reach the
alleged offenders. 1t turns out, how
ever, that it is broad enough. and now
that the Attorney General has been
provided with a fund of 100000 with
which to prosecute violations of the
Sherman act, 1t is not improbable that
a general war will be begun on all
trusts which are believed to be Cypress,
ing the people.
