OBITUARY..
BENJAMIN b. Sanders.

Mr.. b. B. Sanders died at 1875
o'clock last night quite suddenly of a
stroke of paralysis. He was employed
in the Georgia Car Works, and had
Just finished his work for the day, when
he received the attack. He was brought
home in a carriage and medical at
tention given him, but to no purpose
as his condition rendered him beyond
assistance.
Mr.. Sanders was 81 years old. He
was born in South Carolina, but has
lived in Savannah for a number OF
years. Formerly he was a street car
man, but an accident that he received
while so employed, rendered him unfit
longer TO follow that trade.
He is survived by his wife and six
children, four daughters, Mrs. Lille
Seckinger, Mrs. Bannie Carpenter, Miss
Jewel Sanders and Miss Tiny Sanders;
and two sons, Mr.. John Sanders and
Mr.. Benjamin Sanders, all of whom
are in Savannah.
The funeral will take place at his
home this afternoon. The services will
be conducted by Rev. D. S. Edenfield,
pastor of the Southside Baptist Church,
and Will be attended by Resolution
Council, j. o. u. A. M.

of proper balancing of the vegeta-
BILE and animal matter in the aqua
rum. Balanced aquaria is the term
by which the process is known to aqua
rum experts. DO you notice the
great quantity of aquatic vegetation
in these aquariums? Well, that is there
for the purpose of aerating the water,
or to supply oxygen.
"No aquarium, no matter how small,
should be without some living vegeta-
ton. Then you notice a few snails
loafing about among the foliage; they
are the scavengers. That crayfish,
also, has his uses in the general sys-
TEN. The shells, and even the choice
of species, have much to do with the
proper balancing of the whole.
But" continued Mr.. Spencer, with
note of warning, don't let a little
knowledge work to your ruin. Don't
rush away from here and tell all your
aquarium keeping friends that it is
foolish ever to change the water. The
experience necessary to keep an aqua
rum in a healthy state under those
conditions is only gained by long
years of laboratory study. AS a gem
eral proposition" he concluded. with

indianapolis, Ind, April 22.-"Mr.
Harna's rushing to the rescue of or
ganized labor is, when you come to
think of it, somewhat astonishing
spectacle," said D. M. Parry to-day,
when asked for his opinion as to the
attack made upon his labor position
by Senator Hanna at the banquet of
the Analgamated Steel Workers at
Columbus last night. Mr.. Parry said:
"In the campaign of 1896, the very
men that Mr. Hanna now eXtols as the
able leaders of organized labor issued
circular demanding in the name of
all the wealth producers of the coun-
try the reconciliation of silver, and
because he, as chairman of the Nation
al Republican Committee, did all he
could in support of the gold standard,
he was lampooned and abused worse,
perhaps, than any man before or since
by these very men whose friendship he
now so assiduously seeks:
''The genesis of Mr.. Hanna from an
energetic business man with a labor
record not particularly distinguished
for leniency, into a political leader and
finally a United States senator who is
the leading spirit, if not the founder
| of the Civic Federation is a remark
| able instance of what the political bee
will make a man do when it gets to
buzzing in his bonnet. Who knows
where the metamorphosis of Mr.. Han
ma will end? AS good union man, he
may yet think it incumbent upon him
| to look with an indulgent eye upon
| Organism, and l am almost inclined to
| believe it an opportune time to make
| the suggestion that he be made the
next running mate for Mr.. Bryan:
! Bryan and Hanna-how is that for a
ticket?
"Of course, l am aware that all this
| is not argument, but then there was
| little argument in Mr.. Hanna's speech.
| He takes up a paper, which has met
the Endorsement of SO per cent. of the
manufacturers of the country, as be-
| ing a fair exposition of the socialistic
tendency and what Carroll d. Wright
calls the 'damnable practices OF trades
unionism,' and makes what 1 think
| the country will hold as poor at

What has MIR. Hanna to say about
fixing wages by artificial methods?
There is the root of the whole matter.
| If it is right that one class of work.
| men should have their wages fixed ar
bitrarily, then it is only just that the
wages of all classes should be fixed
in the same manner. Does Mr.. Hanna
agree that 1t was perfectly proper for
| the miners union to demand scale OF
wages out of proportion to the wages
paid similar labor in other industries,
and, failing to get it, to go on strike?
II am surprised to see that Mr.. Han
ma so fatty denies the proposition thai
| organized labor is founded on tbs
principle of force, when every day

that l am not against the individual
workman getting the highest price for
his labor that industrial conditions will
permit, nor am l against organized
labor per Sc. What 1 do oppose, how
ever, is any system that seeks to pry
up wages by the use of artificial meth
DDS or physical force, by strikes, boy
colts, joint agreements, coercions, etc.
1 declare that the arbitrary adjustment
of wages is radically wrong. If Mr..
Hanna is not encouraging chaos In
wage relations, what is he doing?
Mr.. Hanna corTalled the manufac-
turers of the country in the first Nc
Kinley campaign because of the fear
of Organism. He led them into the
Mckinley camp because of this fear,
but if he thinks he can ringnose the
manufacturers of tn country on the
labor issues and lead them into he
camp of Gompers and his aggregation.
/ think he overestimates his strength
and influence very much.
"Middling politicians have almost de-
stroyed England induStrially, tying the
country up in all sorts of socialist leg
islation at the behests of the labor
leaders. There is still time to head off
this programme in the United States.
The National Association of Manufac-
turers has taken a determined position
that the factories of this country are to
be operated without the dictation of
labor agitators or politicians, and
firmly believe that they will maintain
that position to the last"

what similar labor gets elsewhere, is
because they were able to compel its
granting by force.
'Mr. Hanna praises the joint agree
ment entered into between the bitumi-
nous miners and operators. He says
that peace has been maintained by
virture of these agreements for FIVE
years in the ,bituminous industry.
Since 1898, the wages of these miners
have been advanced by the joint
agreement method of AZ per cent. for
mine run coal. The miner says to the
operator, Charge the extra wages up
to the consumer and the operator
does so rather than have his mine shut
down. Does Mr.. Hanna mean to ap-
prove of method of adjusting wages,
which so totally disregards the inter-
ests of the consumer?
lone joint agreement is but the pre-
cursor of another. and the only limi-

the capacity of the pocketbooks of the

Nothing 50 annoys fishes as the con-
