Reused by the Fire Bells.

Our fire company was called out
Friday evening at about 8 O'Clock by
the furious changing of the fire bell
and made a record-breaking run for
Pigott & Co.'S store, where a heavy
smoke seemed to originate, filling the
air with the smell of burning pine,
says the Hudson, S. D., Hudsonite
Ladders were hoisted and Roy Par
kin was the first man on the roof,
but nary fire could he see, only ter
chimney on Olson & Whites store.
A thorough investigation brought
nothing further to light and it finally
dawned on Arthur Amundson that he
had thrown a big pile of pine boxes
and dry kindling into the furnace that
heats this store and the drug store.
So the excitement was quelled, the
hose company wound up its hose and
a halo of peace prevailed once more
over good old Hudson.
We were taking care of our sick
baby when the alarm sounded. We
had our shoes Off as we make too
much racket in the sick room with
them on, and we BECAME so alarmed
and excited that we only put one
shoe on and carried the other one
around in our hand until the excite
ment abated. Almost equal to the
Akron ALARM, where a kid woke the
folks at 114O p. m, by blowing the fire
whistle, thinking 1t was 6 a. m. be-
cause he happened to look at his watch

BRYAN,s WANING POPULARITY

Mr.. Bryan's popularity is on the
wane in his own state. AT the meet
ing OF the Democratic State Central
Committee of Nebraska, at Lincoln, ON
Tuesday night, his friends were so bad
ly defeated that there Is a serious
doubt whether he will be able to retain
his leadership of his party in his state
at the approaching Democratic State
Convention.
Mr.. Bryan wanted the State Conven-
tion to meet on April i. so as to be
in a position to take the lead in in
structing delegates to the ST. Louis
convention. The committee ordered
the convention for June /. Therefore
the Democrats of Nebraska will not be
able to show Democrats Of other
states that they should instruct their
delegates TO the nominating conven-
ticn.
Those who controlled the committee
that If Mr.. Bryan retained his leader
ship OF the party in Nebraska he
would have to fight for it, with the
chances against his retaining Il. 1t
seems that there is among the Demo-
Gratis of that state a strong and grow
ing sentiment against the demand OF
Mr.. Bryan that the Kansas City plat
form shall be reafiirmed at the next
Democratic National Convention.
1t is claimed that the action Of the
committee at Lincoln is admitted to
be defeat for the Bryan wing OF
the party in Nebraska. II It was. in
fact, defeat. Mr.. Bryans influence
will not be as great IN other states.
whore Il was thought he was stlll
strong as Il WAS expected 10 be.
For months Mr.. Bryan has been tell
ing Democrats all over the country 10

gates 10 the ~. Louis convention were
instructed. Now that he has been un-
able 20 carry out his programme IN his

A CONVERSATIONAL sherlock.

A Southern senator, who heard that
the merger case had been decided in
favor of the government by a vote of
s to 4, the same as the decision in the
insular cases, was moved to a story
how he secured advance information
about the latter litigation, says the
Washington Post. He met one of the
learned justices, now on the bench,
who is very fond of anecdotes. There
was some mention of the case, then
pending, and the justice Immediately
related the following, as an incident
of how close decisions sometimes are;
Il was walking once through the
country in a certain Western state
when / saw the tail of a steer pro-
truding through small hole in the
fence. 1 don't know why / fell to
thinking of the matter in that fashion.
Anyhow, kept wondering how that
steer could get through such a small
hole.
But" concluded the justice. ''he got
through"
Nothing more on that subject was
said, but the Senator drew the conclu-
sion that the government would win
the insular cases by the smallest pos
sble margin, and it did.

GOOD WORK OF THE CHAMBER or
COMMERCE.,

A careful investigation by the Sec
rotary of the Chamber of Commerce
shows that there has been a saving to
the people of Savannah, by the reduce
ton in the rates of fire insurance in this
city, of $4,000 per annum. This
amount is below the estimate of some
Of the insurance agents, who think the
saving is between $4,000 and $4,000
per annum. In one instance alone,
that of leading Broughton street firm,
reduction OF 5000. year has been
made. In another instance the rate
was reduced IS per cent. Thus one
years savings in fire insurance would
pay for maintaining the Chamber Of
Commerce seven years. The insurance
reduction was secured by the com
bined efforts of the Mayor and City
Council. the insurance agents and the
Chamber OF Commerce. The success
full outcome of the effort shows what
can be accomplished by organized,
systematic work. AT the figures Of
the secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, the saving represents the in
terest. at per cent, on 100000. Il
may be mentioned that there is a large
saving to the congregations who wor-
ship in the brick churches. and also
to the railroads. On the Union depot
the saving was $500.

MORE MERGER SUITS PROBABLE.

There seems to be an impression
that the question of the real meaning
of the antitrust law is not yet set
tied. The strong opinion of the dis
senting justices, together with the fact
that Mr.. Justice Brewer. although he
agreed with the conclusion OF the opin-
ion of the court, did not approve OF
the reasoning by which the conclu-
sion was reached, seems to justify the
belief that IL another case is sent TO
the Supreme Court a decision less
sweeping than the one in the North
ern Securities case will be obtained.
AS far as known there is no move
ment to send another case to the Su-
preme Court for the purpose Of get
ting a decision less threatening to
! combinations that are supposed to be
in restraint of trade, but there are
reports of suits about to be begun for
the purpose of bringing about the
dissolution Of combinations. For in
stance, it is reported that the Attor-
ney General of Virginia is consider
ing the advisability of bringing a suit
to have the combination existing be-
tween the Pennsylvania and the Nor
folk and Ohio or the Norfolk and
Western railroads dissolved, and that
the Attorney General of Texas has
under advisement the question of
bringing suits against the Rock Island
and the Southern Pacific roads. since
they were both holding companies,
and. it is claimed, are violating the
antitrust law.
No doubt it would be an easy mat
ter to find dozens of combinations
that are in violation of the antitrust
act. But what would be the result
il the Attorney General of the United
States were to begin suits against all
of the companies and corporations
which are believed to be violating that
act? There would undoubtedly be a
panic because they represent billions
of dollars worth OF securities, and II
panic were once started there is no
telling where 1t would end. The
President therefore is placed in a po-
sition where he may not be able to
get any political benefit from his ac-
ton in attacking trusts. If he were
to go right ahead and prosecute other
trusts he might bring about a condi-
ton of panic and depression that
would certainly defeat him IL he should
be a candidate for President, AMI
there doesn't seem to be any doubt
now that he will be a candidate. II
he doesn't go on with the prosecutions
he will be in position to be attacked
on the ground that he is afraid to
prosecute the trusts, not because of
financial troubles that might ensue,
but because he is friendly to them,
and attacked only one of them for
the political benefit he would get from
such action.
Just now 1t looks as if the merger
decision, in one way and another, were
going to play a most important part
in the presidential campaign. 1t has
already become the subject of very
lively political discussion in Congress.

Sir Weetman Dickinson Pearson, M.
p, president of S. Pearson & SON.,
Limited, contractors for public works,
and who is also connected with nume-
rous other large concerns. arrived here
the other day from London, says the
New York Globe. Sir Weetman viii
leave shortly for Central America,
where he has railroad interests. In the
course of conversation he related the
following:
you Americans are so much adj
dicted to the use of colloquial phrases
that you frequently lose sight of the
other meanings entirely. Often they
don't quite fit the situation. To give
you an instance: The evening after
my arrival here I received an invita-
ton to dine from q friend. / was TAX
ing a bath at the time the note ar
rived, and the bellboy, thinking, l sup

momentous Importance, showed the let
ter under my bathroom door. Well,

said, If you have nothing on, will
you dine with me tonight quietly?

CURRENT COMMENT.


The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) Says:
Representative Payne, one of the Re-
publican leaders in the House, says
that in prosecuting the merger suit
President Roosevelt has done what
Grover Cleveland never accomplished
in his administration. That is quite
true. The Northern Securities merger
was organized in 1901, and President
Cleveland went out OF Office in 1897.
Most of the charges against Grover
Cleveland are of about the same
character"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
There really doesn't seem to be any
hope for Mormonism as long as it
glories in maintaining the sdivinely APP
pointed origin of polygamy.' Any re-
ligious sect that chooses to maintain
allegiance to laWlessness, even though
il may come in the questionable shape
of a professed revelation, is entirely
too religious for this American re-
public, and il might be relegated 70
the islands of the sea, where its prac-
tees will be at least congenial TO the
pagan ideas of the savage nations
There's no place left in the United
States for polygamy."
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
hlsntiy unoefstoous the Noflnefn Sc
curities decision Is wholly conserva-
tive In its effect, and should eliminate
the antitrust agitation from present
politics. The judgment which sus-
tains the administration In the action
heretofore taken carries with II no
sweeping assertion OF indiscriminate
control over corporations. The Su-
preme Court clearly reserves the right
and power of judicial review In every
case Of combination affecting CONF
merce between the states, 20 the safe
guarding of both public and private
Interests. This judicial power more 20
be trusted that iil-conEldered leEisla-
ton, and Justly commanding universal
respect IL sufficient for the curblng

sULLY,s FAILURE.

The failure of Daniel j. Suiiy, the
famous Spectator in cotton, while not
expected, caused no great amount of
surprise. His career in the cotton
market thus far is similar to that OF
other great spectators in cotton whose
careers have ended. 1t would DC an
easy matter to name dozen other
spectators who became rich and
known all over the country for their
operations in cotton futures, but who
died comparatively poor. Mr. Sully
came to the front last season when. it
was said, he made several millions of
dollars. OF course it isn't known Low
much he had when the season closed.
The reports of the amount varied from
5000, 900 to about 100000. He was
bull in the market and succeeded in
pushing the price much higher than
thought it would go.
At the beginning of this season he
was again bull, and at one time he,
with the assistance of New Orleans
parties. forced the price Of futures as
high as IL cents. There is no doubt
that at one time he was ahead OF the
market to the amount of many mil
lions of dollars. According to current
reports he had an ambition to push
the price as high as 20 cents a pound.
1t is probable that he thought the
price would go as high as that. There
is no doubt of course that he believed
that it would go much higher than it
was at the time of his failure. be-
cause he was buyer, and ii reports
are correct was the holder Of at least
100000 bales at the time the crash
came in his affairs.
The amount for which he failed &c
placed as high as $5,0OO,OO0. 1t may be
great deal more than that. Doubt
less it will take time to discover ex-
actly what his liabilities and assets
are.
He is young man, and has chance
to try his luck again in the cotton
market but it is pretty safe state
ment that If he continues to speculate
he will not leave the market a sicn
man. When the fever for specializing
in cotton takes hold of a man it seldom
leaves him while life lasts. and there
is never a time when he doesn't think
he knows the direction the market is
going to take.
There is often much talk of syn
dicates4 or individuals that have so
much money that they absolutely con-
troll the market, and are able to put
the price up or down as they please.
1t is worthy of notice, however, that
the man with millions frequently can
not take his profits when he would
like to have them, but has to keep on
buying or selling until the burden be-
comes heavier than can be carried.
That was the case with Mr.. suiiy. His
burden got too heavy for him and he
had to drop it.
AS far as learned his failure didn't
affect any interest here In Savannah
injuriously 1t may be that there were
some who lost by the decline of the
future market. but If there were they
will not make their losses known.
