a country town, says the Youths Com
panion. He had in his employ one John
s., whom he had advanced from cash
boy to head clerk Since his promotion
John had several times asked for an
increase of salary, and each time his
request had been granted. One morn

an increase of $40 a month.

Mr.. Calvin of Richmond has intro
duced a bill providing ''for certain OK
ercises to be conducted in the public
schools of this state commemorative
of the memories of Alexander H. Ste
phens and John B. Gordon The
names of Stephens and Gordon
will always be remembered in Georgia
with reverence and love, and the chill
dren will be taught in the schools, and
in their homes. of the services of these
great men to their state and country.
But is it necessary to have special ex-
ercises in the public schools in their
honor? Are not our common schools
already sufficiently handicapped with
studies and exercises that are non-es-
sential to a primary education? Ste
phens and Gordon were not the
only great men produced by Geor-
gia: shall we have special exercises in
the schools for all OF the great Geor-
after live2 The best thing that could
be done for the schools is. not 10 crowd

deserves the friendly consideration OF

there is a mass of local legislation to

that the greater part of this local leg

WHAT WILL BE TRE PARAMOUNT
ISSUEs

IsSOEs
In his interview at Princeton last
Saturday Mr.. Cleveland said that 1t
was impossible at present to determine
what would be the real issues of the
campaign this year. But doesn't it
look as if the paramount issue would
be the negro question? The Repub-
licans injected it into their platform,
in the suffrage plank, for what rea-
son has not yet been clearly deter
mined. At first it was thought their
purpose was simply to strengthen their
hold on the negro vote in the doubt
full states-the states of New York, In
diana, Illinois. New Jersey and one or
two others-but the point is being made
that as the platform was written by
Mr.. Roosevelt the probabilities are
that, thinking himself master of his
party it is his intention to use all
his power to bring about a reduction
in Congress and the Electoral College
of the representation of those states
which have taken the ballot away from
negroes who are too ignorant to use
II DIODft ~. MS ldllNIs view 10 ilON
being accepted. and Mississippi is call
ing for an anti-negro plank in the
Democratic national platform.
Not only that, but in many parts
of the country Democrats who had not
before thought it advisable. to nomi-
nate Mr.. Cleveland, for a number of
reasons not now necessary to mention,
are suggesting that, it being the opin-
ion of some of the ablest members of
the party that he would stand a better
chance than any other candidate of
being elected, it would be advisable
under the circumstances to make him
the party's candidate. simply because
of his popularity.
Mr.. John F.. Ryan, one of the Vir-
ginia delegates, has given to the pub
lie his opinion that the South would
have another force bill fight on her
hands If Mr.. Roosevelt should be
elected And John Sharp Williams,
the leader of the minority Of the
House, points to several things in an
interview, which he gave out two or
three days ago, that seem to indicate
that the President means to make the
suffrage plank of the platform of his
party effective. in the event of his
election.
With the Democratic leaders talking
in this strain, and the Democrats of
Mississippi demanding an anti-negro
plank in the Democratic platform. there
does seem to be enough to justify the
opinion that there is a strong proba-
bility that the tiresome negro ques-
ton will be the paramount one in the
campaign. If the Republicans were
not sincere in writing that suffrage
plank into their platform, why as Mr..
Williams asks. did they put a little
negro boy and two little white girls
on the stage at their National Con-
vention Immediately after the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Roosevelt? What signif-
canoe did that incident have to me-
groes throughout the country? Mr.
Williams says that in his opinion that
act had a deeper meaning than APP
peared on the surface.
With a negro franchise plank in the
Republican platform and an anti-negro
suffrage plank in the Democratic plat
form what is there to hinder the negro
question from taking the leading place
among the issues of the campaign?

THE GEN. sLocum DISASTER.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
cause Of the Gen. Slocum disaster was
known, an inquiry was made by
the coroner with the result
that number of persons
are now held for the action of the
grand jury. namely. the directors OF
the steamboat company, the captain
of the Slocum, Capt. Pease, who is
the commodore of the companys feet,
the inspector who inspected the Slo-
cum and others.
It was practically determined that
the fire started in a barrel in the front
part of the boat in which there was
salt hay. 1t is asserted that when it
began it was so insignificant as to
hardly attract attention, and could
easily have been controlled. Doubt
less it was due to the fact that the
mate and crew were inexperienced in
their duties that it wasn't quenched
at once. If the regulations had been
strictly complied with there would, in
all probability, have been no barrel
containing salt hay where that one
stood, but a fire having broken out in
it the crew. if they had been fitted
for their duties, would have checked
it quickly.
What the action of the grand jury
will be it is, of course, impossible to
say. The chances are, however, that
indictments against the accused per-
sons will be found, but whatever the
outcome of the proceedings against
those held to be criminally liable for
the disaster may be. there is no doubt
that the investigation will have the
effect of causing all the excursion
boats in New York harbor TO he
thoroughly inspected by competent
men, and the boats to be put in a
condition, both as to equipment and
crews, that the laws require.
And more than that. For long
time TO come there will be greater care
in the inspections that are made of
boats plying in New York harbor. No
doubt both owners and officers Of
steam vessels in that harbor had, as a
general rule, become careless in the
discharge of their respective duties
The owners permitted their greed to
have more weight with them than the
human beings that crowded their YES
sci. and the officers, doubtless, had
ceased to think of the probability of
danger. The people of New York were
thoroughly aroused by the accident and
they wouldn't have been satisfied if
the disaster had been passed over as
one of those things which could not
be prevented and are to be looked out
for every once and while, no mat
ter how much care is exercised.
Before those connected with the Slo-
cum disaster get their freedom again
it is probable that they will promise
themselves that they will, in future,
comply strictly with the law govern
ing the running of steam vessels.
