OUR HUSTLERS ABROAD.

American imperial tendencies crop
up in more than party policies They
are we'll eXemplifed in specific cases
OF individuals who have energetically
pushed the cause of empire into cor
ners of the world which it was sup
posed were Theoretically sealed In
these cases there is no question of
ilational principles, only an illustra-
ton of exceptional push.
1t seems that one of our citizens,
who rejoiced in the euphonious name
Of O'Keefe, got himself created King
Of the Zip Yaps somewhere down in
the South Sea Islands. Another. it
IS declared, has bought up a good Sec
ton of the Soudan and proposes TO
start stock company to colonize

american negroes on his preserves.
A third, apparently, is so far in the
good graces of the King of Abyssinia
that he is practically the royal treas
urer and will finance the king through
New York connections.
O'Keefe, no doubt, was Irish orig
finally. But he was the transplan:ed
article and was fully Americanized
tefore he was elevated to the digni-
t. of King of the Zip Yaps. He left
one wife in America, secured two
others among the Zip Yaps, and died
leaving them something like a mil
lion apiece. He probably bodied
while king, but the Zip Yaps cared
not one whit about that and were
broken-hearted when he died. 1t is
dc clared that no less than six of
them were so inconsolable that they
jumped into the funeral pyre and
were burned up with King O'Keefe.
AS for the other two, the Soudan
magnate and the Abyssinian financier
even Ireland cannot substantiate the
shadow of a claim to them.
The moral is that no person can
tell what an American cant do, and
that it is often more difficult to tell
what he will do. One Of these days
an American may be Gar of all the
Russians. One of them is press agent
to the sultan now, which is almost
the same thing as being the Sublime
one-and safer.

POWER OF THE POPE.

THE International Position of the
Pope" is the title of an article con
tributed to the October number Of
The North American Review by James
Gustavus Whiteley, associate of the
Institute of International Law. Mr.
Whiteley gives an account of the
origin and development of the tenn
poral power Of the papacy in the cen
turtles when the pope claimed to be
and was acknowledged as, lord para
mount Of the kings of the earth 1t
might have seemed that the interna-
tiOnal influence of the pope would
come to an end when, thirty years
ed in the kingdom of Italy, so that the
supreme pontiff ceased to be a reign
ing sovereign of temporal state.
But that was far from being the case; ;
for the pope, by the general consent
Of the powers, is still treated as d
sovereign. He has the right to send
and to receive diplomatic representa-
tives, and at certain courts the apOs-
t0lic nunciO has precedence over
other ambassadors No is it only
Catholic countries that maintain dip
lOmatic relations with the Vatican
Even the Car of Russia has a repre-
sentative at the papal court and pro-
testant dynasties like those Of HOl-
land and Prussia have found it advan-
tageOus to keep up relations with the
head Of that church which numbers
multitudes Of their subjects in its
communion. On special occasions,
indeed, even England has sent mis-
siOns to the pope. Mr. Whitley says,
referring to the vast influence welded
by the pope in past centuries:
The power of the pope rested not
on armed hosts nor on wide lands,
but on divine right and on authority
over mems souls. Whether we be-
lieve in the logic Of the pontificial
claims or not, there can be no doubt
of the immense power of the popes
and the exalted position which they
attained with regard to other sover-
eigns. They dispensed crowns to
monarchs. they arbitrated disputes,
they put down one and raised up an
other, they apportioned territory to
kings. 1t was by the bull of Alexan-
der VI. that nearly all the newly dis
covered western hemisphere was di-
vided between the crowns of Spain
and Portugal. To this day, kings still
proudly bear titles which were con-
ferred by the popes, and which jndi-
cate the subordinatiou of the secular
power to the spiritual authority Of the
Holy See. The king Of Spain is
still His Catholic Majesty the king
Of Portugal is His Most Faithful Ma
jesty,' the emperor of Austria is His
Apostolic Majesty His Most Chris
tan Majesty of France and His Or
ttodox Majesty Of Poland have
ceased to be. but the king of England
still claims to be the Defender of the
Faith
while bestOwing these titles upon
others. as a mark of the favor Of the
church, the pope reserved for himself
a modest yet proud qualification, Ser
vus Servorum Del Servant Of the
Servants of Cod

THE NEWPORT DISEASE.

Mrs Stuyvesant Fish is a leader
of the so-called -Four Hundred" II
is unfair to regard her lightly or to
permit the personality Of a refined
woman to become the object Of the
ridicule heaped upon the exclusive
Newport circle. She is gifted and
beautiful. She is cultured, and she
is frank.
The pith of the discourse she vouch-
safed to local reporters lies in her
defense of Newport. accepting that
as a sample of the characteristic
American high life She declares
that most of the reports concerning
the doings Of Harry Lehr are false.
"All such Stories" she says, tend to
make the lower classes hate the rich,
and it will have the effect of forming
sOcialistic or anarchistic class that
may do great harm to the country.
That is true. But the fault is not al
together with the newspapers, nor
even with the yellow journals. There
is reason which gives rise to the
stories. whether or not they be true.
1t is that most Of the principals in
these Newport doings are literally OF
no practical use on earth.
They pass their time in amuse-
ments innocent enough perhaps, but
often silly. 1t is their right to be
amused, and one cannot always be act
ing the part Of WISDOM but it is an
other thing to make a business of it.
If Newport leaders do. take an inter
est in the problems of the day-as
Mrs. Fish shows herself to be doing
if they have higher aims at heart, it
they do attempt to use part of their
wealth philanthropically, they con-
ceal these virtues. Because they ap-
pear before the world devoting all
their time to trif1ing things, they get
credit for vapidity.
Very few thinking men, rich or
poor, will uphold equality between
men save in theory. Mrs. Roosevelt
in $500 a year gowns, and looking it,
may be immeasurably superior to
anybody in Newport The trouble
lies in the fact that the chief charac-
teristic of the aristocracy Of which
Mrs. Fish speaks is idleness. Newport
has the right to be exclusive, but not
the right to be idle. All men and wo-
men are privileged to associate with
whom they please. That is part Of
freedom. But public opinion DEGREES
that every individual shall render his
due TO society at large-shall share
the burden Of progress.
Mrs. Fish herself suggests the rem
edy which would relieve Newport
from the obloquy-the word is fairly
used-under which it rests. She
says. naively, that Newport is often
"stupid"; and that she is interested
in the larger world, in public affairs,
and wishes there were field for wo-
men in politics. 1t would be an anti
dote for stupidness. If women, ana
men. too. of her position were to give
portion of their abilities and ener-
gies-better that than money-to
some work of consequence. their crit
les would be disarmed. Honore Palm
er of Chicago is a gratifying example.

Only few hammocks left at Holli-
days. They are being sold at cost for
the cash. Phone 246.
Americas realty always commands a
good price. AS evidence of this fact,
note the figures paid in real estate
sales recently.
The total shipments of peaches and
plums in car load lots from all points
in Georgia, up till midnight Satur 7ay
Aug. /, was 1871 cars.
On some farms near Americas there
has been no rain in four or five weeks,
while in other localities here the rains
have been abundant.
With the mercury at the hundred
notch the Americus man thinks it a
t,ifie inconsistent to be now placing or
ders for his coal supply.
Work upon Americus' new carshed
will begin very shortly now, The At
lanta spirit" has spread here, and to
some purpose, it appears.
The report that one of the Windsor
nine was handed bass fiddle IN lieu
of bat yesterday is wholly false. AS
batters they take the cake.
With two courts in session and the
county commissioners IN meeting, the
erstwhlle deserted temple presented a
busy appearance yesterday.
From the standpoint of the local fan,
Americus is now the baseball centre of
the Universe. Certain Is it, some
good ball is being played here. :
Americas rarely has such intensely
hot weather as during the past few
days. Certainly a rain will come
shortly and bring us relief.
Many of the great old oaks in the
grove near the Central depot are being
felled to make room for the building of
the Glover Grocery Company.
The county commissioners sat in SOL
emn conclave yesterday, but aside
from paying bills aud the routine
work, there was nothing doing.
There is not case of typhoid fever
in Americus, SO far as known, and
there will be none if surface closets
and pippens are barred bv council.
The mayors matinee yesterday was
we'll attended and PANIED out a round
sum. AS it was payday at the city
hall the money came in right handy.
A city official yesterday made pnr-
chase of two whitewash brushes. But
they are to be used upon the back
fence, as one might readily suppose.
Two colored clubs played one of
those games of ball yesterday after
noon in which the score board was en-
tirely too small to hold the innings.
Why not build street railway and
utilize the cars stored in the old car
barn down by the electric light works
There's lot of life IN the old cars yet.
The local market is depleted in the
vegetable line. The hot, dry weather
is parching up the gardens, and moth
ing but the freckled watermelon re-
mains.

the Hotel Windsor as the home plate,
convinced that their places in future
were on the bleachers.
The grandstand was we'll filled when
the game started, and las every gpecta-
tor had been searched for brickbats,
knives and razors the challengers were
safe from assault, though they did not
escape the bowls of the popuIace and
the merry guying of the ubiquitous
and omnipresent small boy who knew
the difference between baseball and
cakewalking.
The champions" were attired in
iauntY blue Jumpers white caps and
female hosiery, but this semi feminine
garb did not Eprove mascatosh.
Seeing at the first that they were up
against nine innocents abroad the
Giants, who know baseball from high
ball, went to sleep in the first inning
and allowed the lambs to gambol
around the diamond some eight or
nine times.
But there was nothing diding" for
the hotellers after that, and even when
a cotton basket was kindly handed
Col. Bob Lee by sympathetic by
stander he failed to catch anything in
it. Lee Hansford caught fowl, but it
belonged to farmer living near by
and he gave it back. Two of the others
caught cold only.
OFT Johnson umpired the game and
fortunately escaped unhurt.
The Giants put just enough ginger
in theirs to keep them awake, while
the other fellows pulled about and
worked like hired men in vain effort
to transform the cipher into one
straight line.
With the hotellers afield the ball
would go rolling about the grounds,
and as they dug for it the other team
would add half dozeu runs every in
ming to the already overworked score.
1t was a comedy of errors, and the
supposed champions are going to
practice ball playing couple of years
before they issue another challenge.
Nine Jaunty new jumpers and white
caps, but little used, can be had at q
bargain by applying early to Col.
Lee, financial agent.
