A GROWING EVIL.

EDITOR OF THE NEWS; In every city
and town of my acquaintance there ex-
lists an evil for which the merchants
and business men are largely respon-
sible, and which they can remedy to
great and good extent if they will.
The evil of which 1 speak is the ut
ter disregard which some people have
for their word and obligations. | dare
say that every merchant in every town
has a feeling recollection of the para
site commonly known as the dead
beat, but who should be recognized in
his true light as the unpublished thief,
who is guilty of the lowest order of
tealing-larceny after trust-and if
Justice was melted out to them the
chaingangs would be overrun. To
tolerate this is to place premium on
rascality and bring Encouragement
to the young men who are living hon
estly within their means, for the man
who beats his way wears the best
clothes, smokes the best cigars and
hires the most stable teams: in fact,
he buys any and everything he wants
that he can secure without the ready
cash.
THE REMEDY.
Let all business men see to it that
no man remains in their employ who
will not meet, or try honestly to meet,
his obligations. When a man seeks
employment he ought to answer at
least these two questions in the affirm
ative.
Are you sober?
Are you honest enough to pay your
debts?
Why should l keep man in my
employ to rob my neighbor? or vice
versa.
| have known municipalities to re-
tain men whose salaries were paid by
extra taxes imposed on the merchants
and business men and knowing at the
same time that these men were beating
their way by refusing to pay accounts
which had been made on the presump-
ton that surely the cities would not
employ any but good, honest men.
It's time for business men to call
halt, for the good of themselves and
the robbers. ONE OF THEM

AN UNFoUNDED REPORT.

The report comes pretty straight
that Judge Spence will run for
congress in the second district
next time, Mr.. Griggs having de-
termined not to run for his present
position any more. In this event
the next race promises lively times
in the old second, not only for
congressman, but for judge of the
Albany circuit. The judge may
safely rely upon Grady county,
and equally depend upon Decatur
and Seminole going against him.
cambridge Democrat.
We don't know where the Bainbridg'
paper got the information that Judge
Griggs had determined not to be
for reelection to his pres
ent position, but for the reason tina
some one may give the report ere
dence we will state that its informan
was mistaken. Judge Griggs will ro1
only run again, but he will win the
race if he should have opposition,
which is not at all likely.

GLOOM IN PARIS.
The News of the Fall Received With
 Sadness.

Paris, Jan. 2.-The news of the sur
 render of Port Arthur created a pro
 found impression here and was the universal theme of conversation in of ficial and diplomatic quarters and by
 the public generally. The newspapers
 discuss it at much length and in a tone of sadness. Russian officials here learned the situation from the Asso- ciated Press ~dispatches from Tokio and the Japanese legation received a 1 brief official summary of the progress of negotiations. The prevailing French view is summed up by the Temps, which says the heroic defense of Se- vastopol has now been surpassed, Port
 Arthur adding a glorious page to mil itary annals, which will long remain
 unequalIed. Continuing the Temps
 points out that the surrender will eX-
 ert a tremendous moral effect favor
 able to Japan. The Japanese, the pa | per says, are now revenged for the loss
 Of Port Arthur after the China Jap
 anese war.
 1 French military critics regard the
 surrender of Port Arthur as rendering i General Kuropatkins position increas- ! ingly dangerous as the besieging army | of SC. 600 men is now released and will
 reinforce the Japanese army in the
 north It is expected that Admiral 1 ROjestvensky's squadron will proceed
 no further in the direction of the seat
 of war. Hope is expressed in some of | fcial quarters that the surrender of
 the fortress will hasten peace but the prevailing view is that the fall will ac- centuate Russias resistance. Some 1 Paris journals asert that the Japanese occupation of Port Arthur will con stitute a menace to all Europe. which the chancellories should prepare to meet.

THE LAST DAYS FIGHTING.
The Surrender by the Russians of
 kekwan Mountain.

Tokio, Jan "A dispatch from the Japanese army before Port Arthur at noon today says ''The enemy's forces are occupying Kekwan noun tain and the fort. Following an ex- p1osion at 12:3O this morning they opened a sudden fierce rifle fire which suddenly stopped. Our scouts dis patched to the scene immediately af- terward found the enemy evacuating those places. Our forces immediately occupied the two forts and also the heights known as M and N south of the forts
 ''This morning almost all the enc my's ships, both large and small were blown up in the entrance and in the inside harbor. Our offensive move ments are suspended, pending negotia- tions."
 It is believed here that the garrison received liberal terms The general disposition will be magnanimous in view of the marvellous defense. The public isknot informed of the result of the meeting of the capitulating com missioners today, but it is believed that terms have been agreed upon. It is possible that Japan will permit the garrison to return to Russia upon their parole

PREPARING FOR THE FALL.
The 2uasians Blew the End Of the
 Peninsula.

London, Jan. 2.-The Daily Mails correspondent with General Nogi says the capture of Wantai involved six hours of the fiercest~ fighting, while the attacks on the forts to the south east were carried on simultaneously.
 Describing the final siege, the cor respondent says: "The slacked fire at points on the northern and eastern forts seemed to show that the Russian ammunition was failing. The position was now desperate. Great explosions around forts proclaimed that the Rus sians were exploding their magazines. Flames and smoke in the harbor were followed by explosion after explosion which revealed the destruction of the Russian ships. The Russians also ap- parently blew up two of their own forts The battleship Sevastopol was blown up and the other .warships were destroyed as thoroughly as possible. The battleships Retvizan and Polta- va and protected cruiser Pallada caught fire"

THE TALK OF LONDON.

 Surprise.

News Of the Surrender Created No
 Surprise.
 London, Jan. 2.-The equalization of Port Arthur was the sensation of Lon don today. It was the one topic of dis cussion from the street corners, where groups were sheltered from a driving snow to the comfortable service clubs, legations and residences, and offices of cabinet ministers. Everywhere the ut most admiration was. expressed for the defenders and the attacking army and the probability that General Nogi has made concessions to the gallant Gen eral Stoessel is received with much satisfaction.
 The announcement, of the fall of the Russian stronghold created little sur prise in official and diplomatic circles where it had been discounted by recent events It was known as early as last October that notwithstanding the brave showing in official dispatches. Stoessers resources were nearly at all end. Nowhere, not even at the Rus sian embassy was there a doubt con- eerning the generosity of the Japanese.

The Czar Advised That the Last Ditch
 Should Not Be Awaited.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 2.-While there IS no longer any doubt in official cir cles in St. Petersburg that the fate of Port Arthur has been decided and General Stoessers long and gallant defense ended. news of the surrender has not yet been allowed to reach the public. Foreign telegranls regarding the matter (have been withheld from the newspapers pending the issue or an official announcement here The government is following the dictates of it's Judgment in it's course but the public so far is entirely unprepared for the news, which must prove a serious blow when it comes. The newspapers so far merely intimate that the de- fense of the garrison is proceeding as usual but everyone has realized for some time that the end was approach ing and there is no question that the majority, if they were prepared / by preliminary announcement by the gov ernment, could forgive the loss of the fortress in admiration of the garrison's heroic defense.

COLORADO LEGISLATURE
Its Organization Will He Favorable to Gov. Peabody.

Denver. Colo, Jan. 2.-The cause of Governor Peabody made a distinct gain this afternoon when the repub- lican caucus selected w. H. Dickson. of this city as speaker in the house of the Colorado legislature. Although Dickson has been a resident of this state nearly three years. he has not been active in the interest of any of the republican factions but his candidacy was pushed by the friends of Cover nor Peabody and his selection by the caucus is regarded with much com placency by the Peabody people,
 Frank w. Frewenn of Teller county the candidate of the Wolcott faction made strong fight for. several hours. but matters were finally adjusted har- moniously and everybody in the eau GUS joined in naming Dickson for speaker by exclamation. The repub- lican leaders are not yet determined positively upon their line of action af- ter the legislature is opened, but they have no hesitancy declaring that one of the first things will be done in the unseating of the democratic senators. Born and Healy, who two years, ago were given the seats of the republicans Dick and Mcdonald. It is believed that the probable fate of Born and Healy will be shared by four other de- mocratic senators also.
 Chairman Fairley, of the republican state central committee declared this afternoon that Peabody will hold his seat until a successor has qualified as expressly provided by the state consti- tuition and that the claim that the iI- auguration of a new governor is re- uuired by the constitution on Nthe first Tuesday after the first Wednesday of the legislative session is erroneous.

Kuropatkin has been receiving from Russia since the battle of the Shakhe.
 The spirit of Russians may be judg- eG by the statement of the secretary of the embassy at London that the campaign will be renewed with fresh vigor in the spring and that the nation will not be content to permit Port Arr thur to remain in the hands of the Japanese.
 Both ia Paris and/in London the opinion is the squadron under Vice Admiral Rojestvensly which started from Libau for the far east three months ago will have toretrace it's way home as an adherence to the original plans would invite disaster without the probability of effecting a junction with the warships at present in the haroor of Vladivostok.
 That Japan may not be permitted to retain possession of Port AEthur without dispute is shown in the fact that Paris newspapers are already re- viving the claim made in 1901, that tine holding of that position. command ing the eastern seas by Japanese would be menace to European powers.
 There is an expectation in diplomat ic circles in St. Petersburg that some one or the powers may make ten der of friendly offices and the intiEa- tion is conveyed that the United States may take the initiative. Should that be the case it could only be upon as surance from both the warning powers that the tender would be received by them in good part.
 Early today %Mo Russian torpedo launches arrived at Chefoo and there were then seven Japanese torpedo boat destroyers in the harbor. Later in the

Possibly some of the hesitation Of the authorities here to make an an nouncement of the fall of the fort is due to threats and rumor5 of radical demonstrations, coupled with the ab- sence of the emperor, but it is certain that no demonstration is likely which could assume serious proportions and the radical leaders would be sure to alienate the sympathy of many even of the more liberal Russians if they chose such a moment for a revolution ary demonstration.
 It has been learned that the last telegram sent by Emperor Nicholas to General Stoessel vested the commando CT of the Port Arthur forces with dis cretionary powers and urged him to exercise them rather than allow the defense to go to the last ditch. This may account for the apparently brief time required to conclude the negoti- ations between the Russian and Jap anese commanders, no time having been occupied in communicating with the emperor. It is~ equally certain that General Stoesse1 did not surrender without previous authorization.
 In diplomatic circles tonight there is every reason to believe from the best information regarding the plans of the Japanese, that the fall of Port Arthur will be promptly followed by an offer of peace from Japan. It is understood that a strong effort will be made to have the offer come through President Roosevelt. It. is ev- en suggested that the terms might in- clude an arrangement which would give Russi3 an outlet through the Per sian Gulf. There is. however, no in dication as to whether an effort to in duce President Roosevelt to move in the. matter would be likely to sue ceed. It is regarded as unlikely that such suggestion should come through the United States unless the president has the strongest previous informa- tion that it would be favorably con sidered by the Russian government It may be added that, while it is known that Emperor Nicholas from the beginning fregarded the war with great adherence there is nothing yet to indicate that his government in Tends to recede from the programme of fighting to a finish which has been repeatedly announced.

Port Arthur whose hills have for months run red with blood of the brav- est of two warlike nations, has at last succumbed to the fierce tenacity of the JaDanese attack General StoesseI, most stubborn in carrying out the will of his sovereign has seen the advance of the besieging army gain in momen- tum and energy until to hold out long CT would have been a crime against humanity.
 The conditions of the surrender are not yet known but in all quarters it is anticipated that they are such as an honorable soldier may accept from a brave and victorious enemy. The au- thorities at St. Petersburg in the. ab- senca of direct official news from Gen eraI Stoessel that Port Arthur has surrendered have not permitted the news to become public. Emperor Nicholas is in the south of Russia and his ministers are for the time be- ing in the dark as to what dispatches have been sent to him from the front.
 Tokio is the scene of rejoicing. peo- pie of all ranks finding in the outcome compensation for all sacrifices of life and money that was entailed in the ten months siege.
 TO what extent the fall of Port Ar thur will make for the restoration of peace is an open question. There is an encouraging note ir aii expression by Baron Hayashi, the Japanese min ister at London, of "a hope that in some way it will facilitate the final peace" though the pacific note is per haps lost Tn later words of the minis ter in rwhieh he calls attention to the fact that the besieging army will now be free to go north where it will be an offset to the endorsements General

A rEMpoRARY Loss.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Although he had no official news regarding the sur render of Port Arthur, Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, had no hesi- tation in reiterating what he has re- peatedly said, that the loss of Port Arthur would not have the slightest effect on Russia's de>>rmination to fight to the end
 Russia will pursue the war to the end" said he. and the temporary loss of Port Arthur after such a valiant defense can only spur Russia on to an ultimate victory"

Washington, Jan. 2-The senate committee on foreign relations has not yet taken up the several arbitration treaties negotiated last autumn and sent to the senate before the holiday recess. It is expected that a meeting of the committee will be Dheld next week and that these treaties will be favorably reported.
 Several southern senators who have been examining them have raised the question as to whether under them the bonds of southern states issued during the reconstruction period could be ar bitrated and declared valid. They have given notice that if the treaties pro vide for the adjudication of such bonds they will oppose them unless an amendment is inserted which in eX- press terms will declare that bonds of a state shall not be arbitrated.
