CURRENT COMMENT.

The Mobile Register (Dem.) says:
Georgia instructed for Parker. There
is no doubt that such action has great
ly improved Parker's chances. Why
did not Alabama do the same thing?
II Parker is the man on whom to unite
why not say so and rivet the saying
with a good resolution of instructions?
Georgia is all right"
The Charleston Post (Dem.) says:
while the North Carolinians are
making a great howl about the tyran-
ny of the federal courts in the matter
of the contempt proceedings against
Editor Josephus Daniels, they are
dancing with glee at the authority OF
the federal courts exercised to remove
the receivers of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad, and Gov. Aycock

A Hnrd Luck story.

The following invitation, says the
New York Press, was sent to nearly a
hundred friends by wellknown club
man:
You are cordially invited to meet
me at "a prominent hoteD on
Thursday at p. m. for the purpose of
buying me a dinner. I have been called
good fellow long enough. In the last
ten years I have contributed my pres
ence and money toward 1872 dinners
given in honor of one friend or another,
yet no man or set of men has ever
bought morsel of food for me i'll all
that time. 1t is a shame that I have
to propose a dinner to myself, but as
my friends seem to overlook me except
when they want my dough, am rot
going to let modesty stand in the way.

Forty-three men sent regrets. Fifty

A story of skehelien.

In his editorial chronique on the war,
the editor of the Bibliotheque Univer-
selle has some severe things to say
about the false reports which are cir
culated from St. Petersburg. The Rus
sian people, he says, are kept in abso-
lutte Ignorance of the fact that their
navy is being defeated by the Japa-
nese. He cannot condemn this too Sc
verely, and in the course of his remarks
he recalls the fact Che insists that it
Is fact) Of the peasant belief that
Gen. Skobelieff, the hero of the Turkish
and the Turkestan wars who died some
twenty years ago, is still living in
prison. This legend, he declares, us
quite characteristic of the Russian peo-
pies notions of geography and the re-
lation of Russia to other Pews." He
gives the legend as follows:
MikhaH Dmitrich Skobelieff once
sought the Little Father, the Gear, and
said: Permit me, 1 pray you, oh,
mans" But the Little Father replied:
mo, General, will not permit you to
fight against the Germans, for they
are our good neighbors.' Mikhail
Dmitrich was not discouraged. He re-
manned quiet for several years. Then
he again sought the Little Father.
Permit me, oh, sire, to go to war
against the English. But the car
refused for the second time, and said:
Il cannot permit you to make war
upon the English, for you must know
that they are our richest and most
industrious merchants" Shobelieff re-
turned to his home discontinued; but
soon came, for the third time, to the
Gar and said: II have come to ask,
oh, Little Father, permission to go
against the Turks" Then the Gear
was angry; he grew red, and ordered
Skobelieff imprisoned in the Tower of
Soukharevo, in Moscow. There" he
said-"there you will remain until you
have learned to speak Japanese. I am
not sure about the others, but the
day will come when 1 will command
you to make war on Japan" The
peasants believe that Gen. Skobelieff
is still in the prison, that the Car
will soon give him his liberty, and that
he will not let one single Japanese
remain alive after the war.

Pennsylvania have nothing to do vir-
tually with selecting the men who fill
their highest offices-or, in fact, any
offices? A political boss who lives in
Philadelphia has the credit OF doing all
of that. Pennsylvania is n state in
which one man rules, and that man not
res ponsible to anybody.
When Mr.. Durham makes up his
mind what he wants done ne will tell
the Governor to appoint Mr.. ---
to the vacancy in the Senate, If 1t
should be decided it isn't necessary to
call an extra session of the Legislature
for the purpose of electing a senator,
and If an extra session is necessary he
will tell the Legislature whom to elect.
If the people of Pennsylvania are
satisfied with that condition of affairs
there is no reason why outsiders should
complain. But why don't they have 1t
understood that a political boss names
the officials and says what laws shall
be enacted? They might save them
selves a great deal of expense ~ that
arrangement. What is the Use of 60
ing through the farce of electing ottt-
Gals who have already been determined
upon? Pennsylvania is perhaps the
most boss-ridden state in the Union.

A Truthful Recommendation.

Col. Thomas Wentworth Higgins son
brought back a good story from Rich
.nond, Va. which he utilized Saturday
at the Twentieth Century Club to illus
trate point, says the Boston Globe.
"A lady who had considerable trouble
with her servants engaged a new one
upon the recommendations produced
and for a week or two everything SEEM
ed satisfactory. After awhile the hus-
bands favorite brandy began strangely
and rapidly to diminish, and the wife,
Ky observing the girl, became convinced
that she was responsible for the disap-
pearance, and discharged her. A few
DAYS later the servant returned, and in
distress and tears besought her former
mistress to give her recommendation.
The lady was puzzled as to what she
might say, but finally concocted this:
i have not been entirely satisfied that
this woman is just what I wanted, but
/ am reasonably sure that she has
something good inside of her.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORK

The Chamber of Commerce congratu-
lates itself upon having secured an
other factory for this city. 1t is a
modern machine cooperage plant, and
will have capital of about S25,00o
Every factory helps. even it If is a
small one. Savannah needs more fac
tories. They will enable people to earn
a living when they come here to live,
and they will attract people.
Yesterday we pointed out one way In
which our commerce could be in
creased. We refer to the need of fac
tors for handling the products OF the
pine tree obtained by the new process
of distilling from the wood. The Cham
Der of Commerce ought TO look into this
new industry with the view of pre-
venting another port from getting the
business of handling the output of it.
From all accounts the business win be
a large one in the course of a few
years.
Everybody is interested in having
the city increase in population. wheth-
er II will increase greatly or not will
depend upon whether or not there is an
Increase in the means Of earning a
living. People are not coming here
unless there is something for them to
do. Just now It seems TO be the bust
ness of the Chamber of Commerce 20
provide them with something to do.
II cannot announce too many kinds
of new businesses or too many new
factories. The public receives every
announcement with satisfaction-with
fully as much satisfaction, in fact. as
It does the announcement of the COM
ing OF a convention; probably more.

has announced that he will give cen

be worth from 5000 TO $500 each. Some
of the pastors critics have thrown out
the suggestion that there is "a string
tied" to the offer, but his friends assert
that he is man of his word and not
given to sensational advertising

are that there will be standing room

services. Many men who would not
go to church to hear a sermon will go
to get building lot.
