CURRENT COMMENT.

The indianapolis News (Dem.) says:
Russia needn't sit up nights worry
ing about our diplomacy. All she has
to do is to mind her own business
and do as she has agreed to, and We
shan't bother her. But, with her hab-
its. will she be able to do these
things?"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
saws: To-day Congress is made up
of weaker stuff than was the case in
the last seventies, while President
Roosevelt is aggressive, dictatorial and
strenuous to a great degree. In any
controversy with Congress during the
next term, if he should be elected, he
will boss the job"
The Philadelphia Enquirer (Rep)
says: 1.-The Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union is moving as a body
to have polygamy declared to be a
crime against the United States. To
accomplish this constitutional
amendment will be necessary. II the
women set themselves at work in earn
est to bring about this desirable result
they will succeed. 1t was the women
who forced the present investigation
of the status of Senator Smoot of
Utah. In any great moral reform
they are all-powerful."
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem) says: Mr.. Bryan comes out
in this weeks Commoner in dispar-
agement of Judge Parker of New York.
Hitherto he has left the judge out
of his black list. Hereafter Democrats
are given to understand that they
must not consider Judge Parker as a
possible presidential nominee under Mr..
Bryan's serious displeasure. Mr..
Bryan spotted Mr.. German long ago.
Then Mr.. Olney. Then Judge Gray.
He will none of Carter Harrison. His
slate. therefore. now carries only two
names, which the party has his leave
TO choose from. Mr.. Hearst and some
unknown celebrity in North or South
Carolina, whose name, we confess, has
wholly escaped our memory. Yet are
there those who think Mr.. Bryan n
well-wisher OF Democracy. There are
those who believe him true Demo-
crat. IL ever a man started out de-
nberately 90 destroy a party-to re-
coup and revenge himself for two sue
cessiye defeats-to make q impossible
for that party 10 elect anybody, is Mr..
Bryan DOING this every day in the
week ana every hour IN the day on
this point there cannot be two opln-
ions among intelligent men"

Custom House Rules.

Strangers who visit this country are
naturally ignorant of it's institutions,
says Life. The following advice in APP
preaching the custom house may be
found useful:
Remove all your clothes and hang
them gracefully over your arm as you
walk down the gang plank This will
enable the officers to scrutinize you
more closely when searching your per-
son.
Remember that every custom house
officer is your superior, and take what
he says meekly. If he hits you play
fully over the head with lead pipe,
laugh nonchalantly as if you had en-
tered America before.
Do not open your baggage yourself.
1t is better to have it ripped open. The
officials lead uninteresting lives, and
this is almost the only pleasure they
have.
If you have any article that you
value highly and it is liable to be
broken, don't mind. Take a course
in Christian Science.
If your wife or daughter should be
retained and roughly treated, don't
give way to your feelings, but call for
an ambulance and send them to a
New York hospital.

THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRIOT

If the spirit which animated the
Democratic Executive Committee of the
First Congressional District at its meet
ing yesterday, is indicative of the
feeling which prevails throughout the
ten counties Of the district, there will
be entire harmony during the pri-
mary campaign. There will be no
scars as reminders of the campaign.
Every member of the committee was
anxious apparently that the best of
feeling should prevail. There was no
hesitation in doing what was necessary
to be done to secure a free and fair
election. Neither Mr.. Lester nor Mr..
Brannen was mentioned at the COM
mttee meeting. or at the luncheon
given by the chairman during the aft
ernoon. Their respective friends SEEM
ed satisfied with what was being done
for them, and did not discuss their
political prospects. If Mr.. Lester gets
the nomination Bullock will seek to
be the banner county, and will give
him a solid vote. On the other hand,
if Mr.. Brannen is the choice Chatham
will give him a majority that will
secure him the district. There will be
no question of Democratic success.
Both candidates. for the nomination are
able men and good Democrats. The
district will be creditably and worthi-
ly represented in the next Congress.
whether Mr.. Lester or Mr.. Brannen is
it's choice. There is no occasion for a
bitter campaign, a campaign that
would leave scars. These were the
views apparently of those Democrats
who met in Savannah yesterday.

why He Didn't Have Pork.

A prominent educator in Phila-
delphia tells the following story on
himself: In his early teaching days
he had a position in country school
house in New England. The people
in the neighborhod worked out their
taxes by giving him board, and when
there was no vacancy in the farm
houses he took a small room, while
the neighbors supplied him with food.
One day a young boy came running
breathlessly toward him. Say, teach
err" he gasped. my pa wants to
know if you like pork ?" Indeed, 1
do like pork the teacher replied,
concluding that the very stingy
father of this boy had determined to
donate some pork to him. You
tell your father if there is anything
in this world that 1 do like, 1t is
pork" Some time transpired, and
there was no pork forthcoming. One
day he met the boy alone in the
school yard. Look here, john" he
said chow about that pork?" "Oh, !"
replied the boy, the pig got WELL"

Babies.

When the May baby and the June
baby had got we'll acquainted they ex-
changed condolences, says Life.
my milk comes from a certified
cow" said the May baby.
80 does mine" said the June baby
"It is MIXED by a man in white
suit, with sterilized hands, through
absorbent cotton, and kept at tenn
perature of As degrees"
$50 is mine"
ut is brought to me in a prophylactic
wagon drawn by modified horses"
80 is mine"
Then how in thunder do you man
age to be so fat and well?"
The June baby winked slyly.
81 chew old paper and the corner of
the rugs and anything L can find that
is dirty, and in that way l manage to
maintain the bacterial balance which
is essential to health" he said, chuck
ling.
The May baby laughed long and
loud.
The mammals heard the goo going,
but they assigned to it only the usual
fantastic significance. 1t was just as
well.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-13

From time to time observant French
men come over here to study us and
write us up. for our delectation and
their profit. Paul Blouet MAX O'RelD
made a key of money by the process.
For some reason or other we take great
pleasure in reading a Frenchman's
opinions of us. and are willing to pay
roundly for the privilege. Jules Huret,
one of the latest of our discoveries, has
lately been saying some clever things
about America and it's people. The ex-
preston. "a good time" he considers
to be very American" and he found
many of the people devoting themselves
to having good time" This he UNI
derstands to mean IAN association Of
rest and carouse."
NJ Huret got his first and therefore
most lasting Impressions from New
York. He didn't find so much rest
there probably as "carouse;" but after
much carousing there must necessarily
be rest, so M. Huret put it in to round
out his sentence. If M. Huret observed
very closely he doubtless found out
that the average New Workers. idea of
a '$ood time" consists first in eating,
and then gadding about in the glare
of the white lights or going to some
place of amusement. The New York
er's first suggestion to a friend or
stranger to whom he proposes to ''show
a good time is, Lets go and get
something to eat" And afterwards,
in all probability, 1t is a visit to the
theater. Among certain classes in New
York, as in all other cities of the coun-
try, a good time" means a round of
the barrooms. a heroic effort to create
whisky and beer famine, and an
aching head the next morning; and the
more violently the little limos WELD
their hammers inside the skull, the
more convinced is the participant in
the jamboree that he had "a corking
good time last night" AT the other
extreme is the person of the Carrie
Nation type, who never has so good
a time as when smashing bottles and
bar fixtures.
Still. NJ. Huret was safe in making
use of the expression. To have "a good
time" is the desire of every person;
but not all persons take their pleasures
in the same manner. The society wom-
an has a good time" at her teas and
receptions, while her husband finds
them almost intolerable bores. One
mans good time" consists in sitting
in one position for five hours waiting
for a fish to bite, while another wouldn't
sit still five minutes if he knew that
at the end of that time the biggest
trout in ten miles would take his hook
Some persons are fond of horses and
find keenest enjoyment in pulling the
ribbons over sleek and handsome trot-
tiers: others wouldn't have horse as
a gracious gift, but find their ''good
times" with guns and dogs in the stub
BILE. MIR. Rockefeller's enjoyment is in
the making of money. No diversion
could possibly give him such good
| times" Instances and contrasts might
be multiplied almost indefinitely, going
to show that human tastes are. hap
PLY, diverse; that one mans good
time" is a bore to another. 1t would
be dull and colorless life If this were
not so. Meanwhile. we are all striv-
ing to crowd as many periods of good
times" into our short lives as circum-
| stances will permit.

PERSONAL.

-Victorien Sardou and an enterpris-
ing group of academicians and histo-
rians continue to make researches with
a view of clearing the mystery sur
rounding the death of the son of Louis
XVI.
DR.. M. Wahlstrom has resigned the
presidency of Gustanio Adolphus Col
lege at Minneapolis, Mimi, and the
board of trustees are looking around
for a successor. Thus far there are
three candidates, Rev. P. A. Nation,
c. G. Schulz and DR.. L. A. Johnston.
John Morley, who is a great lover
of animals, always has a pet dog sit
ting on his lap when he is writing in
his study, and when he used to live
in a house at the top of hill he in
variably alighted from his carriage at
a certain point in order to relieve the
horse.

Agreed Win the Judge.

A writer in Law Notes retails some
memories of the Irish bar, and gives
impressions of several barristers, in
Guiding the late John MacMahon. Mac
Mahon's style was painfully heavy,
his utterance little thick, and he
was entirely devoid of humor His
hearing at times was not of the best,
and for that reason he thought 1t was
the best policy to agree with any re-
mark that might be made by the judge
before whom he was appearing, even
though he did not happen to hear what
had been said. On one occasion he
was appearing before a Master Of the
Rolls, who thought that MacMahon
was arguing rather elementary law
for such a court as his. You are
speaking as If I were a mere tyro in
the law, Mr.. MacMahon,' said the
Master Of the Rolls testify. quite
so, my lord" said counsel airily, pro-
ceeding with his argument oblivious
to and regardless of what the judge
had said

guided in their action by Mr.. Shoots
interests might be of assistance to him.
The country has about made up its
mind that Mr.. Smoot ought not to be
allowed to retain his seat. It has been
shown beyond question that he is but
a puppet of the Mormon Church. He
has no will of his own. He must obey
the church in everything. He had to
get the consent Of the church before
he could be a candidate for senator.
Mr.. +. B. Critchlow. at one time
United States district attorney for the
Salt Lake district. in his testimony,
gave an account of the candidacy of
Moses Thatcher, for United States SEN
ator. Thatcher was a Mormon ard
did not get the consent of the church
to be a candidate. He was beaten, of
course, and then he was dealt with by
the church in a way that broke his
spirit His treatment was such that
no other Mormon in Utah will try to
get an office against the wishes of the
Mormon Church.
That Mr.. Smoot places the Mormon
Church above his country. that he
would obey the church before the laws
of his state or the United States, there
isn't much ground for doubling. OF
course such man shouldn't be per-
mitted to occupy a seat in the Senate.
II the Republican senators should de-
eide in his favor they would arouse
suspicion against the honesty OF their
party throughout the entire country.
