MIR. wATSON,s PLANS.

And so Mr. Watson doesn't deny
or admit that he is to become an ed
itor of one of Mr.. Hearst's papers.
The inference seems permissible that
he is to shape the political policy of
Mr.. Hearst's newspapers after the
presidential campaign.
If this Inference is correct Mr..
Hearst and Mr.. Watson cannot be far
apart in their political views. Mr..
Hearst is now supporting the Demo-
cratic ticket. Mr.. Watson is of course
supporting his own candidacy. Will
they have much difficulty in harmonic
ing their political views after the pres
to join hands with Mr.. Hearst it is
a fair inference that Mr.. Hearst's am
bition to be President is as great as
it ever was, and that he proposes
to make an effort to get the Demo-
cratic nomination for President in 1908
or to start a new party with the view
of becoming its presidential candi-
date?
There is an element in the Demo-
cratic party-a radical element-that
isn't satisfied with the doctrines of
the party. There is a similar element
in the Republican party. These ele-
ments together with the Populists and
what strength can be drawn from the
ranks of labor are perhaps to be made
the basis of a new party.
. et,o,,IA
be successful this year a new party
would have a very slow growth. The
Democratic party would give such
general satisfaction that its members
would be slow to leave 1t for an UNI
tried party. And dissatisfied Republic
cans would prefer to trust it TO trust
ing a new party.
OF course we do not know what Mr..
Watson's plans are, hut it does look
as II he would prefer the success of
the Republican to that of the Demo
cratic party this year. His candidacy
is calculated to hurt the Democratic
party In the doubtful states by draw
ing from it votes II would get IL there
were no Populist ticket.
While Mr.. Hearst and MIR. Watson
will follow the lines they have marked
out for themselves during this cam
paign ii wouldn't be surprising IL they
should be in accord after the cam
paign either to put the Democratic
party on the basis It occupied during
Bryan's campaigns or II that is not
l,ractica hIa 10 establish a new MARTY
1t can be stated that there is a very
slight probability Of the radical ele-
ment Of the Democratic party ever get
ting control of it again. A new party
will not amount to anything unless
II is based upon a new issue that
touches the consciences or the pockets
of the people deeply. Such an issue
isn't In sight at present. A great part y
cannot be formed by simply trying tc
get together those who are dissa tished
with existing parties.

He ohexed His Orders.

John was the new English butler in
the employ of a Philadelphia family,
says Lippincott's. When John first
came he was told by the mistress of
the house that she was always at home
to her sister, who was a frequent Wis
itor to the house. The sister in ques-
ton was pointed out to John on her
next visit, and the mistress was sat
isfied in her mind that John would
obey his orders.
Every time the sister called John
would admit the welcome guest with
reverent respect. 1t was his custom
to ask before entering if his mistress
vas in, and it always happened that
she was, so John would nod and pro-
foundry bow her in.
But one day it happened that his
mistress was out when the sister call
ed. When John went to the door, she,
as usual, asked if her sister was in, to
which John nodded in the affirmative
and bowed her in. Johns business at
that moment took him out in the yard,
and he left her in the parlor. Divesting
herself of her wraps, the visitor began
to look for her sister, but seeing no
signs Of her downstairs, concluded that
she was On one of the upper floors,
and went upstairs. Of course, she fail
ed to find her, and, thinking that the
butler might be mistaken, went down.
stairs to inquire of him again. She
found him out in the yard, and calling
to him asked if he thought his mis-
tress had gone out, as she could not
find her in the house.
John, after meditating a moment, re-
piled:
Yes, Mum, she his h'out.'
Out" exclaimed the sister: "why,
1 thought you said she was at homer"
Yes, Num-" came the solemn reply,
but she tot me that she was always

LODGES IDEA.

It is the idea Of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts that the Republican par
~ ought to rule forever. He thinks
the Democratic party isn't qualified to
rule the country and that it isn't prob
able it ever viii be. In his article on
Theodore Roosevelt in the current
number Of the North American Re
view. he says the ruling element in
the Democratic party is furnished by
the South, and that Southern senator's
and Representatives are elected on a
single issue, the race issue, and that
they agree upon that issue, but upon
no other. Hence they couldn't carry
on the government. They couldn't
agree upon policies.
Prior to the Civil War the South fur
nished the greater portion of the states
men. and if the Democratic party were
to be given control Of the government
she would again demonstrate her fitness
to rule. 1t is true that there is prac-
tically only one party in the South, but
the South isn't responsible for that.
If the Republican party were the party
of wisdom Senator Lodge would have
the country think it is it wouldn't have
given a race of people just released
from slavery the ballot and thus made
one great section of the coun-
try solid politically. That act
doesn't Indicate that the Re-
publican party is gifted with an abund-
ance Of political sagacity. If it sought
to do that which was best for the
whole country. and it isn't it to rule
if it didn't, it made a mistake South
ern statesmen wouldn't have made.
And there is another thing which
shows the Republican party isn't as
well fitted to rule as Senator Lodge
thinks it is, and that is it's protective
tariff system. That system is respon-
sible for the trusts. 1t shelters them.
If it we're not for it there would be
no trusts. and yet the Republican par
~ is pretending it is against trusts,
that it is doing all that can be done to
crush them. If it were sincere it would
remove the cause of trusts It ad-
mits that trusts are robbing the peo-
PIC VI 'iSii oubHtaIiS0' anu yet IL Coll-
cedes, by its inactivity, that it is pow
erless to suppress them. Surely a par
ty that cannot give the people proper
protection isn't a party to rule for
ever. 1t ought not to be permitted to
rule at all. Its leaders may be able to
agree upon public issues, though it is
notorious that some of them do pro-
test against a tariff that makes trusts
possible, but if their agreement upon
the chief of these issues is in the di-
rection Of unfolding trusts and rob-
bling the people. wouldn't the country
be governed better by Southern men.
even if they are able to agree on only
one issue? ..Is,h.s.

Excitement of many kinds was
caused at the wedding reception of
Mr. and Mrs. John Doerung of 5214
stiles street, last night, by the ar
rival of large box containing, it was
supposed, a handsome wedding pres
ent. The curiosity Of the guests was
aroused and the box was carried into
the parlor and laid upon the floor.
Surrounded by his friends, all Of
whom watched his every movement,
the bridegroom started to open the
box. After much effort he finally man
aged to open the lid.
A snake, a big black one, writhed
cut. In a second he had the room TO
himself.
Gazing about him with wonderment
the snake slowly glided over the floor
and into the entry. No one greeted
him here so. he worked his way
through the dining room into the
kitchen and finally disappeared under
the gate.
Then the guests returned.

The baseball season, now drawing to
a close, has been the most successful
in the history of Savannah. The game
has been patronized literally from first

been maintained throughout. The
South Atlantic League, taken as a
whole, is composed of material that will
compare favorably with the material
Of any league in the country, and
there hasn't been better and cleaner
ball played anywhere than in the six
cities of this tight little league. In
this statement not even the great
leagues are barred OF the Savannah
team specifically there is much in praise
to be said. The men have conducted
themselves like gentlemen and sports

The striking packing house workers
Of Chicago announce that "a meat
famine will be forced at all costs. )"
That must be very interesting to the
vast army of meat consumers. There
are a thousand consumers to every
packer and operative, and a meat
famine will react upon every consumer.
But neither the packers nor the strikers
care anything about that. The con-
sumner may go hang for all either
packer or striker cares. And the poor.
patient, helpless, thick-headed con-
sumner will vince under the burden Of
fancy prices for meats-the merciless
extortion of the situation-but will
never think of kicking vigorously for
his rights. The American consumer
dearly loves to be kicked and cuffed.

WHAT THE NATIVES NEED.

The needs of these people are: The abolition of the present fee system, whereby the native is degraded, impos- ed upon, and taught the injustice of law The establishment of hospitals at central points, so that contagious diseases that are brought to them con- tinually by incoming whites may be To. calized and not allowed to become epi- demic, to spread death and destitution over great areas. The development of the educational system in the form of practical training in such industries as will assure the Indians self-support under the changed conditions in which they will have to live.
 GOVERNOR TO SUPERVISE INDIAN AFFAIRS.
 The duties of the office of governor should be extended to include the SUD- ervision of Indian affairs, with neces- sary assistants in different districts. He should be provided with the means and the power to protect and advise the native people, to furnish medical treatment in case of epidemics, and to extend material relief in periods of famine and extreme destitution.
 NATIVES TO BECOME CITIZENS.
 The Alaskan natives should be given the right to acquire, hold, and dispose of property upon the same conditions as given other inhabitants: and the privilege of citizenship should be given to such as may be able to meet certain definite requirements.

THE GRUB OUTLOOK DOUBTFUL.

Concerning the food outlook at Fair banks, the News of that place says;
 "Because of it being almost an inn possibility to estimate even approXi- mately the number of people in this district, provision dealers of Fairbanks are at sea on the question of supply. They declare it is out of the question at this time to figure whether the camp will be seriously short before spring.
 "In a season-end interview, Manager Turner, of the Northern Commercial Company's store, the largest outftting concern in the district, summed up the situation in the following manner:
 "'While it is almost certain that no serious shortages of staples will occur it must be admitted some lines will give out before spring. This is evil denced by the fact that one staple, hams, has already been exhausted.
 sowing to condition brought about by the clamor for outfits, the mistaken impression that our company and oth- CTS had quit selling had gone abroad The idea is wrong, we are selling hun- dreds of tons of provisions right along.
 "'The system we are following, 1 be- lieVe, should be explained for the Dene- fit of buyers. We are simply filling orders as they come. That is, one day is devoted to taking orders and listing them in the order in which they are re- ceived. The next day these are filled. To avoid taking orders for some line or lines that might possibly have been ex. hausted selling is stopped the second day.
 6'This was made necessary by the remarkably big trade. Whole carloads are being sold each day. The difficulty of keeping check on stock is evident. The only way we can be sure of it is to fill orders as the goods are sold.
 "'Hams are given out. We have plenty of other staples, and it does not seem possible that so great stock can be depleted. This, however, is some thing no one can tell for certain at the present time.'"
