LAWSON AND HIS CRITICS.

And now the critics of Thomas w
Lawson arc beginning to crop up. We
are informed with a great air OF mys-
tory that the doughty Bostonian is not
altogether what he should be. To
prove that statement the New York
Commercial prints a letter which Mr..
Lawson wrote &c Fl r. Rogers. while
those two gentlemen were closely con-
ncctcd in the Bay State Gas deal IN
that communication Mr.. Lawson used
some eNtravasant terms OF praise in
expressing his thanks to the head of
the Standard Oil Company
Some Of our esteemed contcmpora-
rics seem disposed to make much out
of this letter. They point to it as an
illustration Of the fact that Mr. Law
son is inconsistent. holding that such
sentiments expressed a few years ago
are not consonant with the present at
tacks upon what is designated as the
System. There is Just one serious
defect in this chain OF reasoning. Mr.
Lawson himself published the letter
just reproduced by the Commercial
temporary, which is supposed to be

Then. too. Mr.. Lawson has specifically
disclaimad any intention to pose as
better than other men. He has frankly
acknowledged his connection with
many shady deals, and has given the
public valuable information concern
ing the other parties to such ,ransac-
tons Whether or not he was moro to
blame than they can only be deter
mined after the entire matter has been
siftcd to the bottom. 1t is a significant
fact that none Of the persons attack

the integrity Of hisscause to begin
either damage SUITS or proceedings for
criminal libel.

that Mr. Lawson specifically an

WILL HOLD BIG EXPOSITION
ATLANTA BUSINESS MEN ARE AR.
RANGING FOR IMMENSE
FAIR IN 1910.
nave ropes OF Making It the Most
Successful Ever Held in the
United States.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 2S.-The At
iah'a champer OF commerce has great
plans for the future and today, at the
annual meeting and biennial election
of officers in the afternoon and at the
great banquet in the evening the first
direct steps will be taken toward car
rylng out these ambitious plans. The
project which will be launched contem-
plates the holding of a big industrial
exposition In Atlanta in 1910. The
matter will be taken up first in the
annual meeting. at which the officers
Ior the ensuing year will be elected.
Inc two-years terms of the following
ohcers will expire. President r. F..
Maddox;' first vice president, Sam D.
Jones; second vice president, Wylie
Pope; treasurer, Joseph T. Orme, di-
rectors, Louis Newell, r. l.. Foreman
and Harvey L. Anderson. While no
actual rule exists against the presi-
u0iiI iiolulllS more imam one term, IL
has become a precedent to select a new
head every two years. President Mad
doX has been a forceful and able presi-
dent and Their are many who would IA
vOr his reelection, but it is believed,
that the established custom will be ad-
hered to.
The banquet promises to be a big af-
fair. Between three hundred and four
hundred prominent southern men,
among them the governors of fifteen
southern states, have been invited to
attend and most of them are expected
to come. One of the principal guests
will be Hon. David Francis the former
governor of Missouri and head of the
Louisiana purchase exposition. The ex-
position plan will be fully discussed
at the banquet and it is hoped that
such enthusiasm for the project will
be aroused on that occasion, that it
will take some tangible form in the
near future.

NOW A FIGHT ON.
Tremendous Opposition Arises and
Battle Will be Waged.

! WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2S.-It
is not fair to say at this time that the
president is going to oppose a sea-level
canal. His mind is entirely open and
| The recent publication of the fact that
| the expert engineers are in favor of a
a way to suggest the inference that
that report had bowled over the presi-
dent and everyone else, and that sea-
level canal it would be.
1t is this which has caused the state
ment to be given out at the White
House that the president must be con-
WINGED that the level canal is a
better one before he will recommend it.
The practical difficulty in the way
of a sea-level canal, of course, is con-
gress, which, if this canal is to be ia
vored, must be asked for an additional
appropriation, opening up the entire
question in that body again. This the
president, it is believed, would glad
ly avoid.
If the question were turned over to
congress in the form of a request for
more money, Their might be a line of
congressional Investigations, taking
years, and thus delaying the compile
ton of the canal.
With this as the situation, the pres
ident probably might as we'll hang up
his spade at Panama and retire from
the field of active operations, and this,
of course ne does not want to do. If
he should in the end oppose the sea-
level canal, it will probably be for
the reason just given. Meanwhile, he
will hear all the arguments, both as to
cost, time and general policy, before
deciding what he will recommend

"Boss" Lodge.

It's far cry from Alabama to Mas
sachusetts, but 1t so happened that l
lectured in both states in one week.
Everywhere l find that the Democrats
have picked up fresh courage from the
results Of the November elections. In
Massachusetts, the Democrats came
within n Georgetown Craze, as they
used to say In Kentucky, of electing
their lieutenant governor, and, whereas
Colonel Roosevelt had majority Of
more than 100000 in the old Bay State
last year, the head of the ticket pulled
through with majority Of little more
than $4,000 this year. Beyond perad-
venture Governor Douglas would have
been reelected had he been candidate,
but he refused to run again.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodges con-
duct during the campaign is being
much discussed pro and con--mostly

The Color Explained.

"What is the color chatain ?" a
certain young man asked of ven
cradle creole lady, whose hair was
white as snow.
She rummaged through her mind
for terms of explanation, being a
little liable to forget English words
at times. Finally, however, she re-
piled:
"Chatain, dat is the color of my
hair, you understand, when was
young"
And then she smiled with salts
faction at the exact manner in which
she had explained the term, while
the questioner still wondered what
color chatain was. = New Orleans

They Associate Spectral Hounds With
Mountain Storms.

mobHtdiIi OhOifUos
One Of the many curious supersti-
tions Of the Welsh peosantry is that
of Cron Annwn, or "the spirit
hounds of the air." When storm
RACES over the mountains of Wales
the peasant will tell you that his
ear can discern the howl of the Cron
Annwn mingled with that Of the
wind, but sufficiently clear and dis
tinct to admit of no mistake of what
it is.
These spirit hounds" he tells
you, are the spectral dogs which
hunt the souls of the dead, or which
foretell by their expectant cry the
approaching death yof some person
of evil deeds. Few of those who pre-
tend that they can so readily dis
tinguish the cry of the soul hunting
pack are willing to admit that they
have ever actually seen Cron
Annwn, ''for," they say, "who would
linger until such specters dawned
upon the sight?" They are describ-
cd by Faliesin and also in the "Ma-
binogion," where it is said they are
of a clear, shining white, with red
ears. The above seems to be the uni
versal description, and on that ac-
count the author Of Mythology of
the Ancient Druids" gives it as his
opinion that they are really ''mys-
tical transformations of Druidish
priests, with their white robes and
red tiaras."
In the popular superstitions of
Ireland, where a similar belief in
spectral hounds exists, they are said
to be ''jet black, with eyes and teeth
of fire." Old Con McMichael, who
murdered twenty persons in the ear
ly part of the fifteenth century and
who got rid of his victims by burn
ing their bodies, is said to have been
eaten by spectral dogs "that could
be seen high in the air awfully rend-
ing and tearing his flesh" One of
the pecuiiarities of the Cron Annwn
is that the farther away they are the
louder their cries appear, the sound
decreasing as they draw near.

On the Invention of Whisky.

The name of the man who first
staggered humanity by the inven-
ton of whisky is lost in the mists
of the middle ages, and all the in
genuity of counsel now employed
in trying to find out what whisky
is has failed to disclose his identity.
The fiery potion was known in Eng
land in the eleventh century, but in
Scotland not till the fourteenth.
But Scotland made up for lost time.
She gave the bright liquid its allur-
ing name, the water of life" and
made its production cottage indus
try Of noble proportions. When the
execrable exciseman descended upon
the village she carried the still to
the lonely hills. We in these days
are inclined to forget that Glenlivet,
the home of the smuggler, would
never have achieved its bacchanalian
fame but for absurd Georgian Ii
censing laws directed against the in
dividual still and not against the
magnitude of its output t.-London

Tho Now York Republican Row.

The New York Republican Row.
The Republicans of New York are
enjoying regular Kilkenny cat fight,
and all lovers of their country will fer
vently wish more power to their
claws" A year or two ago it was
given out and generally accepted that
Governor Benjamin B. Odell had buried
Senator Thomas Collier Platt, erstwhlle
and for a long time yclept 1.-THE easy
boss" so deep that nothing short of
Gabriel's trump would wake him. Now
Mr.. Platt has crawled from the grave
in which his creature, Odell, had de-
posted him and is doing his best to
deposit Benjamin in the tomb from
which Platt has just escaped. He is
feeble, but he is revengeful. When
Odell heard that President Roosevelt
was preparing to take hand in New
York politics he sneeringly and def
antly remarked SO New York paper
says, that President Arthur tried to
control New York politics from the
White House and that New York went
Democratic for twelve years! Read
ing that defiance of Odell, one is forced
to ask, "Is history about to repeat it.
self?' Let us hope that it Is.
To elucidate Odell's utterance it may
be well to recall few facts. In 1882
the Republicans of New York were di-
vided into two bitter factions, the
Stalwarts and the Featherheads. They
hated each other intensely. This fac
tional fight led to the resignation of
Senators Conkling and Platt. The con.
test so infiamed crack Drained Gui-
teau that he killed General Garfield.
Then President Arthur, at that time of
the Stalwart faction, forced his secre-
tary of the treasury, Judge Charles j.
Folger, ON his party as the Republican
candidate for governor. All sorts Of
charges were made as to how the nonl-
ination was secured. One was to the
effect that a proxy of member of the
state committee had been forged.
Judge Folger was man of high char.
acter, but the Featherhead faction was
SO thoroughly enraged at what they
considered outrageous and high handed
proceedings that they stayed at home on
election day and permitted Grover
Cleveland to defeat Folger by over
10000 majority. Growers first long
step toward the White House Had the
Republicans been united Tolger would
have been easily elected The feud
continued to rage. In 1884 Cleveland
carried the state for president In
1885, and again in 1888. Hill was elect.

to the senate, and In 1898 Murphy.
