No Sense Of Humor.

An old Georgia darkey owned a
small and ancient mule, which at a
casual question as to the price at
which it was held became suddenly
endowed with all the virtues of the
best blood of Kentucky.
"But he is at least 20 years old,
UNCLE" the would-be purchaser pre-
tested.
"Dat mule?" Uncle Moses said in
dignantly. ''No, sab. Eff dat mules

Upon visiting his stable the next
day Uncle Nose was struck with con-

lifeless on the ground.

Board of Health Issues Advice to Con-
sumers After Consulting the Physi-
clans.
The executive committee of the city
board of health at meeting yester-
day morning decided to request all
consumers of city water to boilit
thoroughly before using it for cooking
or drinking purposes. The committee
thought it best to issue this warning
because of the fact that the water
used now is coming from the canal as
well as the river. While this water
has been used every year in the sum-
mer the members of the board, accord
ing to their statement and the state
ment of physicians who have looked
into the matter, think that the water
would be purer if boiled, especially in
view of the fact that the new plant is
being installed and that the old plant
is not in the best condition.
No particular danger is apprehend-
ed by the physicians, who think that
the canal and river water is now
about the same so far as purity is con-
cerned.

Cotton Acrare.

1t is now claimed that there is an
increase of 635,227 acres, or 2.2s per
cent. in the cotton acreage this year
over last year. The Southern Cotton
Association sums it as follows:
In Georgia the estimate is about the
same as last year. Crop two weeks
late and labor scarce.
North Carolina, decrease of per
cent. Crop late and labor scarce.
South Carolina, acreage same as last
year. Labor scarce.
Texas, an increase of 40 per cent.
with fair labor conditions.
Florida, Missouri and Virginia, an
increase of q per cent.
This acreage estimate is made up
from comparison of last years crop
with a good deal of guess work, of
course.

Mr.. Haldane, the British Minister of
War, has had his attention strongly d.
rected to the one defect in the army
system: that is, that it turns a discharg-
ed soldier into the world at an age when
he has lost his adaptiveness and when
without a trade he finds himself at a
great disadvantage in competing with
younger men. Therefore. Mr.. Haldane
has appointed a committee to consider
the training of the soldiers in various
trades. 1t is believed that something
can be found in this way which will be
better for the ex-solder than the pres
ent system. Something has been done
il providing by enlisting the interests of
the great railroad companies, who have
been giving berths to ex-soldiers, and
they are also being taken in larger num-
bers into the postal service as carriers
and postmen. AS the standard of edu-
cation in the army has been raised in
recent years, the soldiers are well fitted
for these latter employments, but it is
thought that more can be done for them
in other directions.

There is little hope of the two wings
of the Democratic Party Topping to-
gether when such distinguished lead
er of the Southern Wing as Senator
Bailey will say the things that he has of
that standard bearer of the New York
Wing-Wm. Randolph Hearst. and Mr..
Hearst will reply with such hot stuff
as this:
'.As for Senator Bailey personally he
began his career in Washington by eX-
pressing unwillinsness to wear even the
conventional dress suit. He ended by
wearing tamely and humbly the scarlet
livery of the corporations. But while
Bailey is willing to wear the trust liv-
cry and answer the Rockefeller bell as
readily as any other Standard Oil
lackey. he does not like to have atten-
ton called to his badge of seryitude and
at present he is doing his best to hide
it and shield himself behind the grave
of the dead Senator German"

DEATH OF MRS. TANNER.

The deepest sympathies of all the
comrades of the Grand Army of the
Republic go out to COMMANDMENTS
Chief Tanner over the loss of his dearly
loved wife. Mrs. Tanner was a woman
of exceptional qualities of head and
heart. Strong. earnest, indefatigable,
she has stood by her husbands side
through these many years. nursing him
tenderly in his long periods of disa bility
from his wounds and assisting him in
his great work for the veterans of the
Union army and their widows and or
phans From first to last she was a
true helpmate, because in addition to
her affection for her gifted husband her
heart was thoroughly in the cause.
Wherever there was a chance for her
to be useful she helped with marked
efficiency and success. as the women of
all the Orders allied to the Grand Army
&C the nrn"blic will cordially testify.
Her loss Is not only irreparable to her
husband and interesting family, but 1t
is great to every member of the Grand
Army of the Republic and to the pa
triotic Orders of women.

Government fare matters for a deter
minations bye the voters of the several
congresstonal Districts. 1t congratulates
the country that the only good things
that the Republican National Admins
tration has 'fone are those which have
been suggested and urged by Demo-
Gratis, and of whom William J. Bryan.
"the great cbmmoner," is the leader.
The platfofm urges improved election
laws; favers "a complete and rigid reg
uiation of an corporations engaged in
public Service" the prohibition of
transportatioh by companies engaged In
the mining OF coal and other minerals,
or the Manufacture of any commodities
in the transportation of which they are
engaged as common carriers;" de-
nounces the giving of rebates: favors
such change in the food laws "as will
insure the protection of public health,
and favors a "strict prohibition by civil
and criminal enactment of all contri-
buttons by corporations to parties. or
ganizations, committees or individuals
for political purposes"
1t must be said in all fairness that
the latter part of the platform suffers in
comparison with the same portions of
the Republican platform. The latter
demands and promises specific and we'll
defined reforms, where the Democratic
has only evasive generalities. For ex-
ample. the Republican platform de-
mands a .two-cent fare on all the rail-
roads of the State, mileage books with
out the $40 deposit, and several specific
distinctly-worded plans for reforms in
internal administration which the peo-
pie very much want. All these things
being in the nature of definite and we'll
specified pledges the party can be held
to strict responsibility for carrying
them out IL elected.
On the other hand, the Democratic
platform has the vagueness and uncer-
tainty generally favored by writer's of
"planks" and politicians; that is. it
hints and suggests things that people
want. but leaves the actual promises so
vague that those who may be elected on
the ticket can interpret them as they
wish or disregard them altogether. In
short, it resembles too much Jerry
Simpsons famous description of plat
form as Something to get in upon"

Secretary Root has the unpleasant
duty of explaining to Germany that
Congress proposes to stand quite pat on
the tariff, and if she wants tariff war
she can begin the hostilities at any mo-
ment. This will be exceedingly dis
agreeable both to the Secretary and to
Germany. The Secretary was badly
scared when Germany announced her
intention to open up the campaign, but
Congress refused to show a tremor
enough, the usually timid
business interests were behind Con-
gress. and laughed at Germany's
threats. whereupon Germany climbed
down off her perch. Germanys inter-
ests would be far worse hurt than ours
by any such l,lly. We can make Ger
man goods here quite easily. or buy

The safe and sane common people of
the country can view the revelations
and incidents in New York with entire
equanimity. 1t is a process as old as
human society, where women, whisky
and other vices remove the loafers from
society, and make room for better
blood 1t is the worlds way of skim
ming off its scum. Every man who
goes to the devil swiftly by whisky and
sexual sins is weed pulled up out of
the field of fair humanity. That he re-
moves himself under the belief that he
is having a good time makes the pro-
cess all the more agreeable to right
thinking men. No judge or jury could
visit upon these worthless men the pun
ishment they bring upon themselves,
and all in the pleasant Eelief that they
are enjoying life.

The Canadians are boasting, with
some little reason, that they are getting
the cream of the European immigra-
ton. The total migration to Canada
last year was about 10000 and this
year it will be increased to about 140.-
900, where ours is about 100000 a
year. On the other nand, the people
from northwest Europe are going into
Canada and taking there precisely the
same elements which built this country
up to it's present greatness. while the
immigration which Is pouring into this
country comes from the inferior and
beaten races of the south and southeast
of Europe. Nearly $4,000 of our own
people have crossed the boundary and
settled in Canada, and taken out of this
country a large number of valuable
farmers and tradesmen whom we can
i'll afford to lose.

How gentle end tame the leading pa

Of the business interests" was clearly
exhibited In the first flush of public in
dignation over the packing house reve-
lations. The 10 leading packers of Chi

Another example of change merely
for the sake of change, which seems to
reign in the War Department. is exem-
plified in the artillery bill before Con-
gress. A few years ago the whole ar
tillery system was torn up and remod-
eIed. the regiments abolished and a
corps instituted with batteries of vary
ing strength. There were 80 field bat
teries numbered cOnsecutively, and 126
seacoast batteries, also numbered con-
secutively, and all under Chief of Ar
ti.lery with the rank of Brigadier-Gen-
eraI. The new bill provides for a re-
storation of the regiments for the field
artillery, and there are to be six of
them, with the usual field officers, Colo
nels, observation-disclosures and Majors.
The condition in the Artillery Corps is
decidedly unsatisfactory for some un-
explained reason. since out of 1,190 dis
charges in year but 96 men re-enlisted
in the artillery. The others re-enlisted
in the cavalry or infantry. or did not
re-enlist at all.
