CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: "All previous records in
private pension legislation were broken
by the House at Washington Saturday,
when 325 bills went through in much
less time than as many minutes. This
granting of pensions by favor of pull
rather than by rule is vicious to the
last degree, but there appears to be no
help for it. Grover Cleveland set himself
against the practice sixteen years ago
with all the power he could command,
but to little purpose"
The Chattanooga Times Dem.) says:
The statement of Mr.. William E.
Curtis. that no official copy of the
constitution of the Southern Confed-
eracy is known to be in existence, is
interesting. Gen. Ainsworth believes
the document was never engrossed;
that no official copy was ever made.
There ought to be still living clerical
and other employees of the convention
that framed the constitution, who
would remember so important a fact
as the formal engrossnent of the con-
stitution on parchment. OF course it
is a historical item more curious than
important; but we'll worth the trouble
required for settling it definitely, one
way or the other"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem)
says: by a curious ineptitude of leg
islation the Interstate Commerce Com
mission remains as an independent bu-
reau outside of the new department,
within whose province the commission
as obviously belongs as does the Bu-
reau of immigration. When the crea-
ton of the department was first ag-
itated much was said of the admins
trative advantages of grouping all the
bureaus relating to foreign and domes-
tic commerce under it's control. But
1t was concluded to let the Interstate
Commerce Commission remain an inde-
pendent bureau on the more or less
plausible ground that under the law
its as were largely of a judicial char
acter. At any rate, the anomalous
result is a Department OF Commerce
and Labor with the Interstate Com
merce Commission independent Of It's
administrative operation"

The Greater Georgia movement that
was inaugurated at Atlanta Tuesday
night cannot help being productive of
beneficial results. There is a pretty
steady immigration to the state now,
and it can be easily increased. There
is also a great deal of capital being
invested along the lines of the rail-
roads. This is especially the case
along the lines of the Central of Geor-
gia Railway We mention this road
for the reason that within the last
few days one of its officials stated that
the number OF new enterprises that
was being established along its lines
was so great that it seems almost GER
tain now that the road would have a
freight business in the near future that
would not admit of any dull months.
One of the great drawbacks to the
class of immigrants that seeks farms
is the price of lands. This price is
very low for taxation, a dollar or two
an acre, but it gets to BE- very much
more than that just as soon as there
is a demand for lands. We have
cheap lands and plenty of them, but if
we are to have an immigration of
farmers, and that is the kind of inn
migration we are most IN need of, we
must take steps to place our lands on
the market at what they are really
worth not at what the owners hope
to get for them.
Some of the foreign immigrants
come from farms in their native lands
and they make excellent farmers IN
this country. They are thrifty and
intelligent. In the West they make
very desirable citizens. 1t does not
take them long to become American
lied and no state could wish for better
citizens than their children make.
Would it not be advisable for those
entrusted with the management of the
Greater Georgia movement to use
some of the money that will be sub
scribed in securing options on lands
and for encouraging Scandinavian i'm
migrants desirous of settling on farms
to come to Georgia? If we could get
a few families of this class of people
scattered over the state they would
draw others, and in the course of a
few years there would be a steady
movement into the state of foreign
farm seekers who would contribute
greatly to the development OF our ag-
ricultural resources.

Archbishop Kane of st. Louis has
announced that he will grant dietary
dispensations, during the Lenten sea-
son to workingmen only on condition
that they abstain from the use of in
toxicants. Only total abstainers will be
permitted to deviate from the strict
rules of the church.
Congressman Burton is being urged
by some of his friends to run as Re-

feating the rotund single taxer.
Sheriff Dickmann of ST. Louis has
refused to issue permits to citizens to
witness executions in the Jail of that
city and hereafter all executions will be

"You can't very well miss it," said
neck-whiskered and pessimistically in
clined Farmer Bentover. in reply to
the inquiry of the stranger, according
to the Smart Set. Just keep on along

considerably like clothes horse, trim

something of the sort, and at the same
time putting up preserves, rocking the
cradle, believing in predestination and
literal hell, picking flaws in the en-
tire neighborhood, watching to see
everybody that passes by, wondering
to gracious where they are going and
what for, and giving large, angular
pieces of her mind to a small, fright
ened-looking husband, who appears TO
be on the point, most of the time, of

How Two Princes Played "Iniuns..

Prince Henry and his imperial
brother William had a strenuous.
rough-and-tumble boyhood, not at all
what is supposed to be the lot of
young princes, says London Answers.
They had no fiunkyish private tutors to
pamper them, but were sent to a COM
mon public school, with uncommonly
hard wooden benches.
Henry and William received the
same discipline as the other children,
and had no special privileges either in
the school or on the playground. Both
took THAR share of the hard knocks
bravely.
1t was the great delight of both boys
to play Indian. They had read Coop
er's Misunderstanding Tales" from
beginning to end, and nothing pleased
them more than to daub their faces
with charcoal arm themselves with
spears and clubs, and crawl fiat on
their stomachs through the underbrush
for the purpose of scalping some i'm
aginary pale face"
For Prince Henry's especial benefit
the masts and rigging of a ship were
planted in the playground Netting
was stretched out underneath to catch
the young sailor prince when he lost
his hold.

Odd Kind of Revenge.

Senator Tillman, at the end of the
first part of his antitrust speech in
the Senate on Jan. IA, told to number
of reporters an odd travellers yarn,
says the Chicago Tribune.
Speaking of queer revenges,'' he
said--he had been discussing the ways
in which people might get even with
the trusts-'I remember how, accord
ing to a friend of mine. the natives of
certain villages in India treat their en-
emies. They get a few handfuls of
rice and sprinkle it on the roofs of the
people they hate. Then what do you
think happens? Why, the monkeys
come flocking down from all the trees
onto that roof after the rice. They
eat all there is on the surface and then
to get the stray grains that have
lodged in the crannies they begin to
pull the shingles off. Wherever there
is grain to be seen far down in some
crack or other they pull the roof up to
get at it and finally-lo! and behold
there is no roof left-the monkeys have
torn it all away. Then the man who
spread the rice laughs subtly, for he
has had his revenge and yet no one
knows and he cannot be punished.

A Safe Proceeding.

Lord Lyons, English minister at
Washington during the Civil War, and
afterward ambassador to France, was
diplomatist to the core, says the
Youths Companion. He was exceed
ingly tactful in action, and had the
rare art of keeping his own counsel.
When Sir Edward Blount called upon
him one day at the embassy in Paris,
he found that a well-known journalist
had preceded him. The visitor was
laying down the law in a loud tone,
and when, after his departure. Sir Ed
ward was received, he took the liber-
ty of saying:
MAY l be allowed to ask if it is
quite wise to discuss state secrets in
such a loud tone? 1 heard every word
that was said, my lord, as l sat in the
ante-room."
"Ahl" said Lord Lyons. But even
then you could not hear what l said,
for l said nothing"

Any Kind of a Doctor.

While in Pittsburg last week DR..
Bertha Caldwell of India told some
good anecdotes OH the doctors of that
country, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
One day she was riding in the cars
with a Mohammedan DOCTOR She ask
ed him what kind he was-an allopath-
ist, homeopathist or an osteopath.
He answered.: 81 don't know"
DR. Caldwell asked him how he prac-
ticed and what kind of medicine he
gave. Opening up box he carried he
exhibited seven bottles containing Ii
quids of all the colors of the rainbow.
You see" said the Mohammedan
doctor. fever makes the patient red.
and then l give him red medicine. A
cold makes him blue, and then 1 give
him blue medicine. If he is bilious he
is yellow, and then 1 give him yellow
medicine" And thus he went on to the
end. She remarked: You must be a
homeopathist."
Imagine my amusement" said Dr.
Caldwell, when, on walking down the
street the next day, ] saw this sign in
front of the doctors door:

The batt1eship Oregon, the most IA
nous vessel in the navy, had a mar
row escape from wreck off the Japanese
coast n few days ago. She was caught
in a typhoon, during which she careen-
ed and rolled as much as thirty-five
degrees. Several huge waves swept
over her and flooded the ammunition
hoists, putting the auxiliary machinery
out of order. For a time it was feared
she would capsize, so fierce was the
wind and so high the seas. Fortu-
nately she managed TO live out the
storm and reach Yokohama safely. The
loss of the Oregon would have been
sincerely regretted by the country at
large.

Missionary workers in Philadelphia
are considerably exercised over the
report that certain Americans are to
engage in the work of manufacturing
idols, to be worshipped by heathens in
Corea and China. Bishop c. D. Foss,
of the Methodist church, regretted that
Americans were to engage in this bus
iness, when Christian people are
spending so much effort and money in
foreign missionary work" But the
manufacturers will say, THE heath
ems will get their idols somewhere,
and we might as we'll take their mon
ey as permit it to go to England or
Germany; besides, when we get it, we
can contribute to the missionary

Universal suffrage will have a test
In the new commonwealth of Australia
when the federal election is held there
next year. Under the terms of the new
confederation the rights of women and
men with respect TO the elective fran
chise are precisely the same. 1t is es-
tilnated that there are $4,000 women
in Australia qualified to vote, as
against $4,000 men. So far as the in
formation goes, the women are about
as evenly divided on political questions
as the men, hence there is not much
prospect that universal suffrage will
have much effect on the government
policies.

But it takes an expert who has had
years of study on the anatomy of the
eye and reflection of light to give
PERFECT SIGHT and at the same
time relieve all strain from the nerves
and muscles of the eyes. In the seven
months l have been in Savannah I
have tested and fitted glasses to over
1000 people, over half of which was
wearing glasses that did not fit, and a
great many with second and third
quality lenses. Does this speak we'll

run any risk in getting your glasses

WORK FOR NEGRO LEADERS.

The colored ministers of Savannah,
we have no doubt, are close and intel
ligent readers of the Morning News.
Such being the case, the local pages
each day should have the effect OF
pointing out to them a matter which
deserves their immediate and earnest
attention. We have reference to the
number of crimes, both of violence
and against property, that are COM
mitted by people of their race. Almost
every day there may be found in the
paper accounts of from one to a dozen
crimes, committed during the previous
twenty-four hours by colored persons
in the city or the country Immediately
around 1t. The criminally inclined seem
to be no respecters of persons or races.
They rob, shoot and cut people of their
own color quite as readily as they do
white people. These criminals and
criminally inclined are a terrible incu-
bus upon the colored people who are
self-respecting and law-abiding and
who are trying to lift UP themselves
and their race. Their immortality and
criminality react upon the whole race;
unjust!y so, perhaps, nevertheless it is
a fact that they do so react. 1t is for
the colored leaders, therefore, to or
ganize strong, active campaign
against lawlessness. 1t must be a
campaign of education, and may be a
little slow in giving results. The work
will be hard, but it should be under
taken, and pushed vigorously. At the
moment, it is the very best work that
a colored leader can engage in for the
good of his race and the community. In
Importance it far surpasses all ques-
tions Of politics or oftice-holding.

A New York court is hearing a suit

asks $5O0,0OO damages, on the ground
that the boy must have constant at
