Shin without a Country.

TAS oma Wash, Saturday. Sailing from port to port. with no country she can claim as home-in fact a ship with out country-is the barkentine' Alta, which left Tacoma laden with lumber tor Callao. m
 Although owned by American citi- zens and paid for with American money the Alta is not an American vessel and Is not entitled to claim Uncle Sam's pro- tection or to fly the Stars and Stripes. The United States will not give her reg tster. and the Shipping Commissioner would not sign her crew before she de- parted from this port. She could not even clear her cargo here.
 Upon arrival on the sound the Alta entered at the Custom House at Port Townsend, under protest, it is said, and from that port she will have to clear Captain Thonagei states that the vessel encounters the same difficulties where ever she goes. The experience is no new one.
 The Atlas last flag was the Chillian. She Is owned by Americans at Manila and when they bought her she was put under a Philippine register for the coasting trade there. The end of her troubles, which have excited more or less commons on sundry occasions. will be when the Philippine Islands are de- dared a territory.

Well Known Character at Capitol In
 Washington Passes Away. Washington Special.
 ! Amzi Smith, superintendent Of thN Senate document room for forty years, who died at his home here recently, was personally known to every public man of his generation, and was gifted with a memory almost marvellous ana which made him nearly indispensable: For two score years he had presided over the document room and for three years previous to that he had been an assistant. He entered the public ser vice as a page~in the Senate. He was born in Westmoreland county, Penn, and made an annual visit to his otrtn- place. He was taken i'll with typhoid fever there while on his vacation this summer, ana was brought home to die.
 MT. Smith familiarized himself with the work of Congress and systematlzed his zofice, until he could. on five min utes' notice, aided by wonderful mem ory, recall any act of past Legislation He could supply any Senator with in- formation and frequently did so in the midst of running debates In which scurrying Senate pages carried the ammunition for both sides from the document room. MT. Smith was a Un- ion soldier in the civil war. He was of temperate habits, modest and gem erally respected. So highly esteemed was he by Congress that he was men tioned by name each year in the leg islative executive and judicial bill, which carried the appropriation for his salary.

 What and why is a lockera may be asked. Well, each member of the club has a locker or drawer of his own in which he can keep his own whiskey and other drinks When the club as sembles, or any of its members. they can each drink from his own bottles. or one can hand around to all his friends and no one need be any the wiser. If they choose to sell some to visitors 1t may be managed without difficulty, we should say. Tn short, un- der this prohibition law there may be a free saloon wherever few men can be found who are willing to pay the license That Is the view of Senator Stephens and he probably knows. These locker clubs are likely to become legal ised blind tigers.

4 HOLE IN THE LAW.

After all that has been said and writ ten about Georgia's new prohibition law it seems plain, according to the opinion of Senator stephens, of savan- nah, that there is a gap In 1t through which a coach and four can easily be driven. Nor is that the, worst for the new law largely nullifies what had al ready been done in the way of prohibi- ton. At least 12O of the counties of the State are dry" under the operation of present local option laws, but they may all be wet" in future. if the Sem ator Is correct
 The mischief comes about through the adoption of an amendment to the general bill, which amendment provides that what is known as locker clubs may be formed in any county in the state. even though prohibition is now in force in said county. Under this provision any number of men in any

WATER PRACTICALLY ASSURED.


 It really seems that our neighbor city Of Columbus is going to have an aftesian water supply, and Georgia water, at that. The test well being bored near the city has reached water and in an imperfect test made on last Monday evening the fluid was pumped up at a rate of 1853 gallons per minute. They are going still deeper, and the superintendent thinks that a mini mum of 200 gallons per minute will be obtained.
 Of course this Is a comparatively small quantity of water to supply the needs of a large and growing city, but it was not supposed or expected that one well would give them the water they need That well was merely a test, for it was argued by many we'll informed people that no artesion water could be obtained anywhere in the vicinity of Columbus on the Georgia side of the chattahoochee. If this well is a succes, as now seems assured, it is reasonable to suppose that other wells in the same region will be equal fly successful. and all that remains to be done Is to bore others UT til the de- sired quantity of water is assured It may require fifteen or twenty wells to produce the five million gallons day which Is promised but if nothing stands in the way but boring more wells time and money will surely ac- complish it. If there should be fail ure, either in quantity or quality Ala. bama's offer to lend them all tho pure water they need still holds good,

EXPLAINING TT.

No doubt a majority of newspaper readers who have tried to keep them selves informed regarding the convic- tion and fning of the Standard oil stand why the company should have been fined for getting reduced rates for the transportation of their products. They will ask how or why there can be any harm in a railroad granting reduced rates to a large shipper that it would not give to a small one. An swering a correspondent The Brooklyn Eagle thus explains:
 Rates charged by a railroad must be published. Rates exacted and accepted must correspond. The Chicago and AL ton published eighteen cents as the which was the head and front of it's offending as well as that of the oil company. Accept this statement just as it stands and guilt is clearly estab- said. The oil company had a choice of routes. Two other lines would have served Its transportation purposes equally well and these two lines had ing, therefore. was saved by the oil company when 1t patronized the Chi- cago and Alton. Much would have been lost had 1t paid the rate pub lished by the line 1t chose, the diff ference between six and eighteen being material. Of course, the failure of the railroad to give public notice of reduc- ton was an oversight, which It's of- fcials were prepared to prove. Tes- timony to this effect was offered to the court but Judge Landis ruled 1t out. hold ing it to be the duty of the defendant to know not only the law, but the pub lished rate. So, the company was fined many millions for its ignorance of the fact that the railroad had overlooked the legal formality of publicly an nouncing it's revision of charges. This is what 1t meant by the statement that conviction came upon technicaltty.
 So 1t appears that the oil company was fined because it took advantage as is claimed-of the failure of a rail road official to do. his duty. As the only published rate of the Chicago ant Alton was eighteen cents, and they charged the oil company only six cents | it was assumed that there was a secre understanding between the company and the railroad by which the formel only paid one-third the published rat' for transporting its products. It vii strike most lay readers as being { tangled affair, whatever the courts ant the lawyers may think of it.

 A new school building Is going ur now and will soon be completed.

Viscount Selby (William Court Gull ly) who some time since was appoint ed by King Edward to be a perma- nent representative of Great Britain at The Hague arbitration tribunal, was born in London August 2S. 1885. He went to school in the metropolis and later completed his educaton at Trim ity College, Cambridge. where he took his degree in 1856.

LINES OF EmIaRAr1ox.


 Recently dispatch appeared in some of the newspapers coming from Wind sor, Canada. stating that during the seven months of the present year, end- ing July 30. 100000 settlers passed through Windsor Station on their way to what Is called "the last West" of the great British-American country, being part of the sparsely settled DOT ton of the Northwest territory. com- menting on this statement The Kansas ciy Journal says:
 It is estimated by conservative ex- perts Tn such matters that 10000 home- seekers pass through Kansas City every month in the season in which such ex- cursions are run on theiE way to the Southwest, which term includes Kan sas, Oklahoma, Texas and the two ter- ritories, New Mexico and Arizona. The admirable feature of this movement consists in the fact that these home seekers are not of the immigrant class ike those going te Western .;sntsn Sssnada. tial American citizens. well-to-do farm CTS from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, who are selling their high priced farms in those land land of tn the newly opened region of the Southwest. Much of this land can be had at almost nominal figures and yet it is fully as fertile as any in the farmer finds it an easy way to better his fortunes by selling his farm at any where from $75 to $200 an acre and buying land in Oklahoma, Kansas or Texas at from s5 to sS0 an acre The bargain looks still better when 1t is considered from the standpoint of com forsable lying for he leaves bleak and delightful in every respect as any un- der the sun.
 Here is something we'll worth read ing and reflecting on. The peorle who are thus leaving their homes in the Northern part of the Middle West are independent farmers who have the money to purchase homes in the South west and the ability and means to make these homes comfortable and profitable. Out of the immense num- Der referred to by The Journal not one comes to Alabama or to any other of the old slave States. This Is partly due to the restless desire on the part of many Americans to leave the older States and make for themselves homes in the new States and territories which furnish opportunities for freshness and expansion not present in their old homes. The comparative cheapness of the land and the opportunities afforded in new country are irresistible.
 But we suspect that there Is another reason besides the desire to get to a new country, and that is the misappre- hension and prejudice still lingering in the minds of many Of the Northern people with regard to the old South. They evidently consider this an unde- sirable part of the country to live in. and no doubt this feeling Is encouraged and taken advantage of by the im- migration agents of the newer regions West of us If they want a milder I climate and cheaper lands than they areaeaving they can find both in Ala bama, for example, but they do not come here. Why, will some on inform us?

Massachusetts must be a fine region for milk production. judging from the low price of the article. We notice that the farmers about Westport and Swansea in that State are now selling milk at thirty-fve cents per can of eight and one-halt quarts. That is just trlfle more than two cents per pint. They are talking of combining and putting the price up to forty-five cents per can. but as that will be but little more than two and one-half cents a pint 1t still would be regarded as cheap if sold here at that price Pos sibly good water is handy up there so that the supply of milk can be easily increased.
