They Smiled Then. All Right.

In the United States Supreme Court the other day Justice Shiras was delivering with all proper solemnity an opinion in a patent medicine suit. A pretty little child sat with her mother among the specta- tors. The court was the embodiment of dignity, so much so that it was almost place as the Justice in monotonous tones

 Why should any man want the day before Ash Wednesday. commonly known as Mardi Gras. kept as legal holiday Except in Mobile there is no demonstra- tion of any kind yet every bank in the State must close its doors when that day comes around because of its being le- gal holiday. Tho law ought to be repeal ed, except as to Mobile.

FAKES SECOND PLACE
THE CUBAN TREATY FOLLOWS
 STATEHOOD BILL.
Appropriation Measures and Confer. ence Reports Will Be Given
 Precedence Over All Other Matters in the Senate.


 Washington. Jan 2o.-The prospect of a congestion of business in the senaae is such that tine Senators constituting the Republican Committee on Order of Busi- ness met today to adjust the claims of conflicting measures. The conference was without appreciable results except in the one respect that there was unani- nous agreement to give precedence to appropriation bills and conference reports over all Ather matters.
 It also was decided that the Statehood bill should continue to occupy the posi- ton 1t now holds as the unfinished busi- ness of the Senate and that the Cuban reciprocity treaty should be given second place. It was agreed that the effect of the notice given in the Senate by MT. Quay that tomorrow he would move to take up the Statehood bill at the con- clusion of the morning business It such motion should prevail, would be to ad- vance consideration an hour or more Tn the day, and there was considerable talk on the part of some of the opponents or the bill of resisting such motion, put Jnere was no recOrQe0 OppOslloh to tHO proposition to allow Mir. Quay's motion to prevail without protest when made, The opinion of the staunchest opponents of the Statehood bill was that it would be preferable to have a test vote as be- tween the Statehood bill and some one of the appropriation bills if the friends of the Statehood bill should invite such a trest.
 When the Cuban treaty was given sec ond place, the understanding was distinct that its consideration should not be post poned until the appropriation bills are out of the way, but that all possible oppor- tunities, many of which are anticipated. should be availed of to take it up while the Statehoo1 bill Is still before the Sen- ate. All the Senators present, ten in number, were agreed as to the import anee of securing the ratification of the treaty, but they also were agreed that as between 1t and the appropriation bills. the prompt consideration of the latter was more important for the reason that if the treaty should fail, it's consideration could be continued by an extra session of the Senate alone, while the failure of the appropriation bills would involve an ex- tra session of the entire Congress.
 There was a brief reference of the necessity of getting through an antitrust bill. but the committee did not seem in- cllned to give formal attention to the subject in view of the fact that no trust bill Is before the Senate.

DoUBLE GOLDEN sYMBoI..

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer. tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdom which comes under it's notice, and one of these signs IS the mystic symbol [ Sl denoting golden" which stands for high quality. and is thus explained:
 Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for thu antre number of copies printed.''
 Such papers are credited with a single sym bol: but there is higher grade, according to this standard authority, which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL VI. to desertDs adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol OsUl and is the only paper 50 distinguished in this section of the south.

The Richmond Dispatch declares that ''the thing for the Democratic Party to do is to stop booming candidates and boom principles" and there is sense Tn the suggestion. If the party gan be har- monized and united on the old-time prin- ciples and policies the man will be found. He may be one of the number who have been prominently spoken of or he may be some new man, but he will be forth coming. If Democratic leaders and news papers will set themselves to work to boom principles we have no fear of not finding the man when the time comes.

The Savannah Press decalres that there are babies in Savannah and Macon to give away" and adds that mothers have appealed to The Savannah Press and The Macon Evening News to find some one to adopt their infants" Our contempo- rary has said too much or not enough. It should let its readers know what sort of mothers these are who are so anxious to get rid of their helpless offspring and whether there are many of them, other wise people abroad may form a wrong conception of the two cities.

ANTITRUST BILL.
Committee and Knox Finally Reach
 an Undersfanding.

Washington, Jan. 2o.-Representative Littlefeld (Me.). overstreet Qnd) and Powers CMass.), the Republican mem bers of the subcommittee of the Judi ciary Committee have practically com pleted the antitrust bill on which they have been at work since early in the session.
 A meeting of the full subcommittee will be held tomorrow. If report is agreed on by the subcommittee 1t is probable that the Judiciary Committee which was adjourned Monday to meet at the call of the chairman, will be con- vened Thursday to receive the report. It Is said that the differences of opinion that have existed between the sub-com- mittee and the Attorney General related to forms of expressions, the extent to which publicity should be provided for and questions of punishment but that there has been no conflict of opinion as to the general purposes of the bill.
 It is said the bill as it now stands provides for publicity throug hthe Inter- state Commerce Commission and that provision is made with reference to the matter of rebates.

Russell Sage has fin- ally employed a valet Years and years ago Mrs. Sage urged him to do so, but the old gentleman always declared he was able to look after himself. His re- cent illness, however, has left him rather to look after him. The same influence which brought about this reform induced MT.
