APPALLING DEpRAVITY.
Helpless and Deformed Girls Taught
Vice from BabyhoOd.

That is an appalling story of human
depravity which comes from the Cen
trial New York Institute for Deaf
Mutes at Rome, N. y. The facts
stated in brief are that the helpless
deformed female wards of the state
were taught vice from their babyhood
by some of the persons who were en-
trusted with their charge and educa-
ton, while the other authorities OF
the institution looked on in silence
and acquiescence. The story is one
calculated to shake faith in human ma
ture.
The full story of the outrageous
abuses perpetrated on the inmates OF
the institution is such, it is said, as
can never be written; lit can only be
outlined. For twenty years a fiend in
human shape named Professor Forte
Lewis Satiney was permitted to work
his will among the human lambs com
mitted to his care, and when exposure
finally came he was allowed to escape
without punishment.

nately, however, many add to their
shortcomings the grave fault OF in
difference. Their ambition does
not seem to rise any higher than to
get military rank by election to
commissioned rank, and to acquire
uniform and equipments at the
expense of the state They are ig-
norant of the laws and regulations,
because they do not read them. The
records are in bad shape, etc, and,
worst of all, no one seemed asham-
ed of the dirty and neglected condi-
ton in which everything was found.
The condition of the companies re-
fleets the characters of their officers.
The men appeared in badly soiled
uniforms, sOiled leggings, soiled
cartridge belts, in hats washed out
of shape and perched on the backs
of their heads, equipments not fitted
to the men, who were unframed and
uninstructed, and unable to execute
any movement correctly. Some
companies were unable to execute
any movements whatever; rifles
rusty and dirty the whole picture
of slovenliness and slothfulness, a
travesty of everything that is neat,
! dignified and soldierly. The strict
ures contained in this paragraph do
not apply to companies B and NJ
(Moultrie Rifles and Fitzgerald
Guards).
The Fort Gaines, Columbus, Tiff
| ton and Dawson companies are Civ
en- particularly severe roasts. Some
of t he captains are branded as "ig-
norant and inefficient Some of the
companies are deemed valueless.
The regimental band is severely
criticised, and qualification is eX-
pressed that it is tobe discontinued,
promise of the colonel commanding
having been given to that effect.
The Albany Guards, which were
recently reorganized and are now in
probation, are characterized as

In the Baptist convention which has
Just been in session in Covington the
report of the temperance committee

report contained a reference to the

Lively speeches were made by Judge

The officer making the report is

The report commends Col. r. L.
Wylly for thoroughness and enthu-
siasm. His regiment is declared to
be in bad shape, but it is inferred
that the commanding officer will do
a great deal for its Improvement
One paragraph sets forth the fol-
lowing, which is like an oasis in a
desert:
THE enlisted men are of the very
best material, but they lack train

training them. The regiment labors
under a number of disadvantages.

to think of the militia, and there is

companies up to the minimum lega

AND TOBACCO
The Uprising in Cuba viii Affect the Market Slaves of
MY Lady Nicotine Have Cause to Fear Strife.

It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
slaves of My Lady Nicotine" the
world over have just cause to regard
the instruction in Cuba with fear and
trembling, American tobacco growers
in the Sunny South are likely to reap
rich profit in consequence. A mo-
ment more deadly in it's effects on the
tobacco industry could not have been
chosen for the uprising. Some of the
choicest tobacco in the world is raised
in the Pinar del Rio province of Cuba,
where the revOlutionists are holding
forth with an earnestness which makes
it impossible for the tobacco growers
to attend to the now fully ripened
crop. A few days more and it will be
hOpelessly ruined. Last years crop
was short because of heavy rains in
the island, which not only ruined the
unharvested crop, but rendered large
areas of the finest tobacco lands unfit
for tiIlage. This fact accounted, in
large measure, for the very satisfac-
tory prices received for the American
product. Reserve supplies were very
much depleted, and if the present Gu
ban crop is not forthcoming at the
proper time, prices for domestic grades
are likely to go sky high. The situa-
ton is viewed with particular anxiety
by Washington cigar manufacturers
and dealers, whose trade demands the
finest qualities of tobacco in large
quantities Much of this comes from
the famous Vuolto Abayo district, and
if the instruction should extend to
that province, the results are too dire
for contemplation. Very little tobacco
from Cuba has been received by local
manufacturers this year, and they de-
clare that all appeals for a fresh sup
ply are vain.

PIE Wildly Cheered the Nebraskan
When He Started South.
\ tremendous ovation was rendered
William j. Bryan by $1,000 persons
/ in st. Louis Tuesday night. When
he stepped upon the platform the spec
tators arose, waved flags and shouted.
The ovation continued four minutes.
Motoining for silence with palm leaf

81 want to show you it is better to
trust democratic principles to the
democratic party than to trust them
to the one man whose party denounces
him for following them. l want to
remind you that the most popular act
of Mr.. Roosevelt's administration was
his bringing peace between two ma
tions. He settled the coal strike af-
ter a loss of 500, 900, 900 to employers,
employees and the public. 1t was a
grand act. | applauded him for it,
But where did he get the doctrine
in the republican platform? No; he
got it from the democratic platform,
and wrote the plank myself
'If the president can become the
only popular man in the republican
party because he does something spas
medically along democratic lines
what would be the popularity of the
man who does something and has al
ways been a democrat? Where did
Mr.. Roosevelt find his mandate for
his action regarding the rate bill?
He had to go to the democratic plat
form. The law was suggested by the
democratic party.
II shall soon have occasion to talk
on railroads again, but tonight |
want to impress it on you that the
railroad question solution was the
product of the democratic party.
1.-The president has now been in Of
fee almost five years. How many
trust magnates are in the penitentiary?
We have a great many trusts in this
country violating the law. | ask you
to figure out on the basis of the num-
Der of trust magnates imprisoned dur
ing the past five years how many gen
erations it will take to solve the trust
question.
"If these things prove to you that
democratic forethought is better than
republican forethought, wouldn't it be
better to vote for democrats than for
those who have followed at the tail
end of the democratic prOcessiOn?"

in Mr.. Bryan's itinerary of the south,
which will end in Indian territory late
this month.
Mr.. Bryan will be in Atlanta to-
morrow, September 20.
