CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
1.-The present is always the best time
for abandoning -unwise course. We
do not say that the South must needs
insist upon Southern man for the
Democratic nominee this year. What
we do say is that il cannot too soon
abandon the self-imposed humiliation
of asking the North to furnish 1t with
candidates and policies and leaders"
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
(Dem) says: Somebody wants to call
it the Hanna canal, but the Boston
Globe very pertinently remarks II
anybody is to be honored in connection
with the big ditch across the isthmus,
Senator Morgan is the man. That is
literally true. He was for another route
to be sure, but it is hardly too much
to say that but for Senator Morgan
there never would have been canal" =
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: 1.-The Northern Securities hold
ing company will no doubt immediate
ly abandon its plan of merger. Other
combinations that stand in like rela-
ton to the antitrust act will abandon
the community of interest evasion and
substitute some other means of COM
batting destructive competition. The
cioseness of decision and the contrary
reasoning upon which dissenting opin-
ions are based will suggest both amen
datory legislation and new means of
evading the sharp letter of the law
without mourning its penalties"
The New York Commercial Qnd.)
says: Evidently the Wall street say
ing that a new flock OF lambs is born

A Real Moral Campaigner.

"Hobson has gone all the campaign
ers in this country one better. He's not
only speaking six days in a week at
all the halls and schoolhouses in the
Sixth Alabama district, but he's
preaching to the voters in the churches
on Sunday. Even Bryan never thought
of that" remarked an Alabama politi-
clan, who has been watching Rich
mond Pearson Hobsons campaign for
Congress in Representative Blank
heads district says the New York
Tribune's Washington correspondence
Tom Johnson, with his red devil and
his circus tent and minstrel perform
ance, was not in it with this young
product of the United States Naval
Academy, who is giving oldtimers a
line on how to make friends. He's
showing the same spirit in his political
work that made him the hero of the
Merrimac incident, and no bluffs go
with him.
1T is not unusual for a layman to
get into the pulpits of many churches,
but when Hobson began to invade
Episcopal pulpits a short time ago
some of his opponents thought they
would call him.
" What right have you to enter
these churches?" Hobson was asked.
His only reply was credentials
showing that he is an authorized lay
reader in the Episcopal Church. And
now he's preaching and speaking with
out interruption and making the live
hest campaign the district has ever
seen"

TIE GREAT OGEECHEE BRII

1t is hoped that at an early day the
County Commissioners will secure
plans and estimates for the building
of bridge across the Great Ogeechee
river, and that as soon thereafter as
possible they will have ready a bill to
present to the General Assembly au-
thorizing an issue of bonds to pay
for the structure. How easily bond
ed debt can be paid is Illustrated in
the case of the bonds issued to pay
for the erection of the Chatham County
Court House. The tax for that build
ing has hardly been felt by the peo-
pie, and the county has secured
handsome, modern building that will
meet all requirements for many years
to come.
The bridging of the Great Ogeechee
will be of greatest benefit to Bryan,
Liberty and Tattnall counties, as we'll
as to Chatham. In the three counties
first named there are hundreds of
thousands of acres of fine lands that
will be opened up to improvement and
settlement, and viii thus be made prof
liable, as soon as there is a convent
ent and safe public highway
provided for travel to and from them.
The building up of these counties, and
the increase in their population that
will result, will tend towards the
building up of Chatham and the city
Of Savannah.
The automobile wagon is in use in some
of the Northern and Western states.
With good roads and good bridges in
this section, it will not be a great
while before that vehicle will make its
appearance here, in competition with
the railroads for certain classes of
freights. In txe construction of the
Great Ogeechee bridge the County
! Commissioners should anticipate COM
ing changes in methods of communion
ton by having it built with a view not
only to accommodating automobile
wagons, but a trolley road as well. In
! the course of a few years there will
be business for a trolley line from
this city through the counties of Bry-
an, Liberty and Tattnall, and possibly
beyond, and all new roads and bridges
should be constructed with an eye to
| their use by this very handy and pop
ular adjunct to modern travel and
traffic. We are only at the beginning
of the development of the trolley for
suburban traffic. and its future is a
great one.

GEN. wheeler and Peaches.

A Michigan officer in the Spanish
War had negro attendant whose
ideas of military discipline were strict,
saws the Philadelphia Ledger. Owing
especially to the thieving proclivitles or
some Of the Cuban hangers-on, he was
under strict command not to let any
thing go from the officers quarters
without a personal order from him.
One evening, as the officer and Gen.
Wheeler met some distance from the
camp the General said, with a smack
of his lips:
II hear, sir, that you received some
very fine branded peaches from
home"
Eyes, General. they're prime, and
I'm going to send you some. Mean
time you had better stop at my tent
on the way in and have my man give
you a can"
When the officer reached the quar-
tiers he was approached by his at
tendant with an elaborate salute, who
said:
"Did you tell dat GenI Wheelah, sab,
dat he could call heah, sab, and procu'
a can OBJ dem branded peaches, sab?
Eyes; of course, you gave them to
him."

observe the desire of the government
in their expressions respecting either
Russia or Japan. but the people are
not likely to be guided by his proc
lamation. They form their own opin-
ions and express them as freely as
they please.
No doubt sympathy has been, and
perhaps is still. with Japan, mainly
for two reasons. One is that Japan
is the weaker nation, and the other
is that Russia brought about the war
by violating her pledges in respect
to Manchuria. She promised to evac-
uate that province Of China, and she
failed 10 do it. On the contrary she
proceeded to tighten her grip on it.
Even our government was disposed to
complain because of her violation of
her promises. Russia can hardly ex-
pect sympathy from this country if
she shows so little regard for her
word

oUR COOP OPINION DESIRED.

Both Russia and Japan are extreme
ly anxious to have the good opinion
of the other nations, especially the
United States. Each is trying all the
time to put the other in the wrong in
respect to some matter in which the
other nations are interested. For in
stance, Russia has been trying to show
recently that Japan has violated Ko-
rea's neutrality. This Japan does not
deny, but responds by asserting that
she has done nothing more than Rus
STA has done-that Russia violated the
neutrality of China before the war was
begun.
Russias anxiety to have the good will
of this country is particularly notice.
able. She complained bitterly of the
manifestations OF sympathy with ia
pan by the American people. She was
disposed to hold the government at
Washington responsible for this con-
dition of affairs. She declared she
could not understand how the United
States could take sides with Japan in
face of the fact that Russia had al
ways been their friend-had, in fact,
been their friend at a time when her
friendship was worth something to
them.
The Presidents proclamation issued
a few days ago, instructing all off,
