ROOSEVELT and HANNA.
Republican Nomination Belongs
by Right to McKinley's
Captain.

War and politics are much the same.
The rurnor that Hanna's candidacy
will be announced in a few days is
perfectly reasonable if he has made
up his mind to try to overthrow the
President. There are only two ways
to do it. One is to declare himself a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion at once and give open battle IN
every State for the delegations to the
Chicago Convention.
The other is still hunt with coup
in the Convention. But to hold back
his declaration and keep the situation
on a nervous tiptoe Of suspense has
the bad feature of success-if success
there behaving the color and smell
of conspiracy.
A coup in the Convention would put
Senator Hanna before the country as
an arch conspirator, and arouse a
tidal wave of sympathy for Roosevelt
as Q great man struck down by hand
out of the dark.
Roosevelt's friends are prepared.
The declaration of the Senator would
be the signal for mass meetings every
where endorsing the President, and
demanding his nomination as the voice
of the masses of the party.
Nothing succeeds like success and
nothing fails like failure.
II Senator Hanna casts the die; II
Hanna assumes that Roosevelt does
not deserve the. victory that belongs
by ali Justice of plan and labor, to
McKinley's great captain; if Hanna
claims the glory be missed when l5
fell By chance and lawful right to the
Trough Rider and fails, let no man
who is not a god refuse Marcus Aure-

English Government clerks do not
serve an unappreciative nation: A
chief clerk in the estate duty Office at
Somerset House receives 81, 600 year
for his work during the seven hours
of each lawful day Except Saturday, J
from 10 O'Clock till 3. He has lately
enjoyed in addition the valuable priv
ilege of working overtime at double
rates, and the opportunity has been
turned to most profitable account:
One chief clerk in six months earned
$500 extra. For this addition to
his emoluments he remained on duty
till s O'Clock, instead of going home
at 5. Two principal clerks, with
salaries of s., 500, received s724 each
extra, while two assistant principal
clerks, with salaries of 81, 500, had
1928 each.

The caterpillar plague in Australia
is assuming alarming proportions and
aericu!turists are beginning to fear for
the hountiful crops which have result
ed from the recent splendid rails. The
invasion is now extending from the
southern part of New South Wales to
the western border of the colony.
Trains are frequently stopped through
the rails being rendered slippery by
the crushed bodies of the insects,
which cross the track in countess
numbers. An extraurst, where a
travelling army OF caterpillars, said
by eyewitnesses to be several inches
deep utterly consumed the oats IN a
seventeen acre field and the wheat in
an adjoining field within a few hours

Richard Grant White, the philolo-
gist, was asked once upon time to
conjugate the verb "kiss." He be-
lieved and maintained that English
is a grammarless tongue, hence he
felt no compunction when he gave this /:
"Buss, to kiss, rebus, to kiss again ;
plurobus, to kiss without regard to
number; sillybus, to kiss the hand
instead Of the lips; blunderbus, to kiss
the wrong person; omnibus. to kiss

New York Cotton Market.

New York, Jan. 15.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance Of
l2a21 points, following higher Liver
pool cables than expected and the out
look for continued light receipts which
promoted both covering by yesterdays
late sellers and some fresh buying for
long accounts. The advance as had
been the case recently seemed to attract
quite heavy iquide etion and almost
at once the market developed down
ward tendency that continued until
|. the active months had been depressed
until only ? to 5 we're net gain. At
this level brokers with New Orleans
connections executed light buying
orders and the market began to do
better, selling up to about the highest
point so far for the day just before
the noon hour. There was very little
demand from outside sources and the
local contingent by moderate scalplng
trades soon brought about another
downturn that carried prices back
to nearly the previous low point. Fol
lowing this the market continud more
or less irregular, but turned quite firm
and more active toward the close on
what appeared to be New Orleans and
Philadelphia buying. The market was
finally steady with January net %
points higher and the other months at
an advance of u to y points. Sales
were estimated at 300, 900 bales.

New York, Jan. 15.--Our market

buving was reported as the cause Of
the sharp recovery in Liverpool to-
gether with covering by Egyptian
operators. Our market opened with
an active demand. which was supplied
apparently from the same source that
have been noticeable as sellers during
the past week. Finally running
break carried prices back to last even
iug's quotations, but this was recover
ed on the small estimates for tomorrow.
The market is decidedly quieter, with
ont the same outside demand, which
was so marked feature during Decem.
Der. This is a surprise in view OF
the falling off in the movement, which
should have attracted more buying:
"A slightly better demand is reported
for spots, but it requires an active
demand from spinners to determine
whether the cotton is in the south or
not. At present spinners are waiting
while outside speculation appears will
ing to realize. The closing tone was
firm with indications of a higher
market tomorrow in Liverpool. The
spot market was still quiet and un-
changed. Hubbard Bros. i Go.

CAB HORSE KICKED
ITSELF TO FREEDOM.

Becoming Disguised with the hilarity
of its very aggressive master and the
two dusky soubrettes in the hack be-
hind it, the horse drawing John Proc
tors cab kicked to freedom early yes
terday morning, leaving the cab and
occupants standing in the middle of
Oglethorpe avenue while it galloped
back to the stable.
Attached to the resentful beast was
the harness and shafts Of the vehicle,
and it is said by an eyewitness that
such varied and perfectly aimed kick
ing has never been witnessed in Sa-
vannah before. According to this very
appreciative bystander the old nag
actually kicked Dixie on the dashboard,
until the shafts finally gave way at
their moorings.

WILL PROBABLY CONDEMN
CASTOR ST. PAVEMENT.
Mayor Myers FavOrs Repairing the
Street with Brick.


Now that the CASTOR street paving
case has been withdrawn from the
United States court it is probable the
street will be paved with vitrified brick,
as was proposed in the ordinance to
which the residents objected.
1t is not thought that the residents
will again object to the pavement A
number of them, who formerly OPP
posed it, have expressed themselves as
not Directing to it now. The city de-
sires to pave the street and will do
so if there is no objection from the
property owners. It has been suggest
ed that the owners be credited, when
the street is paved, with the amounts
paid on the old shell pavement, but
it is not believed the aldermen will
agree to this.
Mayor Myers stated yesterday that
he favored repaving the street. me
pavement now down will be examined
by the proper officials, the Mayor says,
to see If a new pavement is needed.
If they report it is needed, an ordi-
nance for the paving of the street will
be introduced. If the property own
ers should make serious objection to
the pavement, the city will not press
the matter, the Mayor says.
There are too many streets where
the owners want the paving explain
ed the Mayor, TO bother with this
street if the owners are against 1t.
l think the street should be paved,
though, and / doubt if there will be
the same objection this time"

ALDERMAN'S SQUIRRELS
AND CHAIRMAN DAFFIN.
AID. Dixon Has Things to Say About
baltimore Pets.

Baltimore Pets.
chairman Daffin of the Park and
Tree Commission is for all the world
like an old setting hen that has lost
all of her chickens-He's always
scratching for trouble"
The above from Chairman of Coun-
ell James NJ. Dixon yesterday was
prompted bv the fact that Chairman
Daffin of the Park and Tree Commits
sion had stated. in an interview in
the Morning News, that only the SPUR
rels put in Forsyth Park by the Com
mission are there. and that he had seen
nothing of the Baltimore squirrels.
Chairman Daffin is always looking
for trouble" said Alderman Dixon,
"but l cannot permit his latest state
ment to pass unnOticed. ] know he is
never happier than when rowing with
somebody connected with the city gov
him the pleasure of knowing he has
managed to pull a shot or two from me
| cannot. under the circumstances, re-
frain from having a word to say.
The readers of the Morning News
knew that several gray squirrels were
to be shipped me by the authorities In
Baltimore, and they knew when they
arrived. I was accompanied by a rep
resentative of the Morning News when
I released the squirrels in the park.
They were carried out in wagon from
the police department. Now it may
be true that Chairman Daffin has not
seen them. But there are so many
things he does see there is no wonder
little thing like a squirrel should be
overlooked.
Still the squirrels have not starved,
because the very excellent chairman
of the Park and Tree Commission has
not seen them. No indeed, for quite
a number of people have told me they
have seen the squirrels. and some of
them have induced the little fellows to
eat what has been offered. The squir-
rels from Baltimore are much larger
than those that were put into the park
by Mr.. Daffins commission.
"Of course l know Mr.. Daffin is not
jealous of the Baltimore squirrels, and
l am equally as certain he is glad to
have citizens, or even city officials, put
the proper sort of pets in the parks and
squares. This takes me back to where
1 started. Chairman Daffin appears
never to be happy unless he is in a
quarrel with some one"

CITY BUSINESS CENSUS
HAS BEEN STARTED.

Deputy Marshal Expects to Find
Healthy Increase in Trade.
The annual business census, which is
pepared by the city, was started by
Deputy Marshal Hussey yesterday. 1t
will probably take a week or more to
complete the census, though a large
section of the city was covered in the
days work.
i, of course, have not yet progressed
far enough to tell how it is going to
turn out this year." said Deputy Hus-
sey, but l am satisfied there will be
quite an increase in almost all lines
of trade shown. The new places 1
know of having been opened during the
year leads me to this conclusion
The business census is prepared for
use by the marshals office in collecting
specific taxes. A classified list of ey-
cry individual and firm in the city en-
gagged in business is made so they may
be readily found when licenses become
due.

ed with the knottiest problem in the
history of his connection with the city

a coolie cook. was carried to police
headquarters by Emigrant Commits
sioner Currie yesterday afternoon for
detention until the facts of the deser-
ton of the man from the British
steamship Indrimayo could be ascer-
tanned and arrangements be made for
returning the man to India.
Bonano deserted his vessel about a
week ago, and was arrested by the
ships Waterman yesterday. He was
Immediately turned over to Commits
sioner Currie. When he was carried
before Sergt Baughn the sergeant pre-
emptorily demanded his name. The
appearance of the prisoner suggested
he was one of the specie usually
brought up from Yamacraw on Sat
urday nights. The man stared at the
desk sergeant in blank amazement,
and Commissioner Currie informed the
sergeant that the man was a coolie.
The. sergeant, while not an expert
linguist, can make himself understood
fairly well in most of the modern ver-
sions of the English language, but he
is a little backward in his Tibeto- Bur-
man dialect. After making due ex-
cuses to the commissioner for his ig-
norance of what the prisoner was try
ing to say the sergeant entered his
name on the blotter as Charlie Ka-
man, which is sufficiently in the prox-
unity to the title borne by the coolie
ip his native land. The coolie will be
deported to India.

for attempted assault against Isaiah

when he recovered the blanket and used
it Tuesday night, the possession of
his bed was disputed by strange bed
fellows. When he mentioned the fact
next morning. Jane did not seem to
like the insinuation. BY way Of ex-
pressing her extreme dislike for his
remarks, she caught him in the collar
and proceeded to give him a strenuous
lecture. Isaiah demonstrated by pick
ing up an AK with the mild intention
of stopping Jane. He was prevented
from carrying out his intentions, it is
alleged by several negro women.

ARGUED HIS OWN CASE
BEFORE JUDGE SPEER.

Hosts to Witness.

Hosts to witness.
Isaac Whitehead. an aged country
negro, was convicted yesterday in the
United States court of having made a
false claim for pension.
The old man was very ignorant and
Judge Speer stated under the circum-
stances he thought light sentence
should be imposed. He sentenced the
prisoner to pay a fine of 500 or serve
60 days in jail. Whitehead goes to
Jail.
The feature of the case was the way
the old man plead his cause. His voice
was loud and his gestures wild, and MS
expressions were far from those usual
ly heard in a court room. A plea of
guilty was entered by counsel for the
old man and then, when asked to
make a statement he said:
I'm the name of God before the most
noblest man In our state. l am thank
full to know I'm prepared to talk for
myself, trusting in the Lord and pray
ing that everyone in this house may
take notice of what / say. In the name
of the Lord in 1856, I was mustered
in as a soldier and in SO was muster
ed out and come home.

ing Mr.. Harrison's term, but let 1t

R OSEVELT To Be
INVITED TO COME
ON VISIT TO SAVANNAH
IF SOUTHERN TRIP FOR PREsI-
DENT is CARRIED OUT.

Even IL the Proposed Trip Is Aban-
dOned, the President and His Cab
met VIII Probably Be Invited
Here, when the New City Hall Is
opened-MayOr Myers Says There
Is no Occasion Now for the CITY
to Invite MIR. Roosevelt.
If President Roosevelt decides upon
trip South as is thought, he will be in
vited to come TO Savannah.
Mayor Myers made this announce
nnent yesterday. though he said just
at this time there is no occasion for
the city to issue an invitation.
An invitation from the trade bodies
here at this time might be all right, the
Mayor thinks. but he does not believe
the city should issue an invitation I'M
less there is some special occasion. II
the Southern trip is positively deter
mined, the Mayor says Savannah VIII
ask President Roosevelt to come here'
ssI think it would be a very desira-
BILE thing to have the President come
to Savannah" said Mayor Myers. i
think he would understand the people
better after visit to Southern
city"
Even before the Southern trip for
the President was suggested, Mayor
Myers had been thinking of inviting
the President and the cabinet to Visit
the city on some special occasion.
He intimated yesterday that this
might still be done. regardless OF
whether the trip now proposed is made.
The opening of the City Hall will prob
ably be the occasion for the invita-
ton.
Though no plans have been made by
the city officials at all yet, it is known
that the completion and opening OF
the CITY Hall will be marked with
elaborate ceremonies.
The occasion will be gala one, as
the erection of the building is gen
orally regarded as marking the pro-
gressive era upon which the city has
entered.
The probabilities are that President
Roosevelt and his cabinet officers VIII
be invited to visit the city at that time,
as guests of the city, though an invita-
ton may be issued at an earlier oate'

ARTIFICIAL STONE WALK
BESIDE COL NIAL PARK.
Among the improvements Proposed
for Next Year by City.

Among the improvements Proposed
for Next Year by City.
Among the minor improvements con-
templated by the city officials for next
year is the laying of an artificial stone
sidewalk on Oglethorpe avenue adjoin-
ing Colonial Park. The brick walk is
badly worn and the new pavement is
needed.
Now that the city offices are located
at police headquarters, the walk is
used a great deal. not only by the
city officials and employees, but also by
the public generally. The walk, bound
ed on either side by beautiful palmet-
tos, is naturally one of the prettiest
in the city. With stone pavement
it would make one of the most attrac-
tive promenades in the country.
1t is also proposed to move the poles,
which mar the beauty of the avenue of
palmettos. Those officials who favor
the improvement say the walk can cas-
fly be made the prettiest in the coun-
try. Connecting with the cement walks
already laid in the park, it will make
the park itself much more attractive.
