GEORGIA DEVELOPING.

Savannah is getting 4 good bit of ad-
vertisement out of the great automobile
carnival held there this week. We are
glad of it. 1t gives the people some
thing to talk about besides Sherman's
march and the Wirz Monument, and
helps to bring into public notice the
great resources and possibilities of the
imperial State of Georgia. Georgia
should be one of the greatest States in
the Union. She is the largest of the
States east Of the Mississippi, with a
fertile soil.C delightful climate and
boundless mineral resources She could
be made readily much greater in every
way than many of the smaller King
doms of Europe. She has been sadly
misrepresented and hurt by the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy and her abom-
Unable prison camp scandals. These are
not at all representative of Georgians,
who are IN the main as high-minded ana
Christian as can be found anywhere
and have been making astonishing
of righteousness compelled an end of
the prison scandals, precisely as the
moral sense of the good people of LoI-
isiana compelled the abolition of the
lottery system. They have frowned re-
pressingly upon the Incorporate squad
Of the Daughters of the Confederacy,
who would insult all loyal people by a
monument to Wirz. Therefore. we can
cheerfully anticipate Georgia's coming
up from the rear and taking her place
alongside of such great, splendidly pro-
gressive States as New York, Pennsy1-
vania. Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. There
is where she belongs.

Pension committees are to become
very familiar features OF British insti-

every British subject, on arriving at
the age of 70, is entitled to an allow

five shillings (s1.2D per week. These

The Russian Duma has under con.
sideration a bill for compulsory insur-
ance of all employees, the expense to be
paid Jointly by the employers and en-
ployes. The Russian workingfnan re-
ceives on an average 220 rubles (s1a0)
a year, of which he will be required to
pay from one to three per cent, while
the employer will pay two-thirds as

Chairman Hitchcock has appointed
E. J. Stellwagen. a prominent business
man of Washington, Chairman of the
Inaugural Committee. and the appoint

Washington. He is well fitted for the

Austria is going into Socialism with
Che highest voltage, the generator will

not exceed $500 must insure against
sickness, accidents and old age. This
includes agricultural laborers and all
classes of workmen, mechanics and
clerks. In all about 5000, 900 men will
come under the provisions of the bill

The gold belt of the Appalachian
chain terminates in the east central
portion of Alabama. and there is a
little gold and silver produced there
every year Last year the value of
both metals was s26.272. an increase of
s1.26s over the production for the pre-
yious year.

1t is surprising to learn that Mexico
has no fruit approximating the good
mess of American apples, pears. peaches
and grapes. These are extensively i'm

put them out of the reach of any but

The storm in Germany over the Kais-
er's course, so far from abating, seems
to be increasing. with the people and
papers speaking out with a freedom
very startling in country which is
supposed to be under personal despot-
ism. The Imperial Chancellor has vain
ly tried to shield his master from the
storm by claiming all the responsibility
and blame for himself, but the people
brush him impatiently aside. Die Zu-
kunft actually goes to the length of
declaring that the Kaiser has shown
himself incapable of disckarging the
simplest political tasks.'' The Tages-
zeitung, Berlin, says that the "Kaiser's
action is the most painful expose that
has been made since the founding of
the Empire" AS we have predicted,
the turmoil will end in the Kaiser being
reduced to the position of the King of
England-that is, a mere fgurehead,
with the real power in the hands of a
committee of the Reichstag.

a Halter of Principle.


1--WE should keep steadily before our
| minds the fact that Americanism is a
question of principle. of purpose, of
| idealism, of character; that it is not a
| matter of birthplace, or creed, or line
of descent Here in this country the
representatives of many old-world races
are being fused together into a new
type, type the main features of-which
are already determined, and were de-
termfned at the time of the Revolu-
tionary War; for the crucible in which
all the new types are melted into one
was shaped from 1875 to 1882 and our
nationality was definitely fixed in all
its essentials by the men of Washing
toms day
''Phe strains will not continue to ex-
ist separately in this country as IN the
old world. They will be combined in
one; and of this new type those men
will best represent what is lOftiest in
the Nations past, what is finest in her
hope for the future, who stand each
solely on his worth as man; who scorn
to do evil to others, and who refuse to
submit to wrongdoing themselves: who
have in them no taint of weakness:
who never fear to fight when fighting is
demanded by sound and high moraii-
ty, but who hope by their lives to bring
ever nearer the day when justice and
peace shall prevail within our own bor-
ders and in our relations with all for
eign powers.
Much Of the usefulness of any career
must lie in the impress that it makes
uponr and the lessons that it teaches to.
the generations that come after We
of this generation have our own prob
lens to solve, and the condition of our
solving them is that we shall all work
together as American citizens without
regard to differences of section or creed
or birthplace, copying. not the divisions
which so lamentably sundered our faith
ers one from another. but the spirit of
burning devotion to duty which drove
them forward. each to do the right as
it was given him to see the right. In
the years when Grant Farragut. Sher-
man, Thomas and Sheridan, when Lee
and Jackson and the Johnstons, the va
lient men of the North and the valiant
men of the South, fought to a finish
the great civil war.
"They did not themselves realize, in
the bitterness of the struggle, that the
blood and the grim suffering marked
the death throes of what was worn out,
and the birth pangs of new and more
glorious National life. Mighty is the
heritage which we have received from
the men of the mighty days. We, in
our turn, must grid up our loins to meet
the new issues with the same stern

THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.

Commander-in-Chi Nevius went to
Boston last week to formally present to
Mrs. Blackmar the resolution of thanks
ordered by the National Encampment
for her generous donation to the funds
of the Grand Army of the Republic, of
which her beloved husband was Com
mander-in-C Chief After performing this
duty he was entertained by E. w. Kins-

Haiti is having fine experience with
irredeemable paper money. The stand
ard is the gourde. nominally worth a
silver dollar, but for years not bringing
10 cents in American gold. The Halt
ians are trying the old Greenbacker
plan of improving the currency by rssu-
ing more notes, and have just put in
circulation 100000 more gourdes, in
very finely engraved notes printed in
New York In spite of these being
countersigned by three prominent Off
Gals, neither the bankers, market peo-
pie nor shopkeepers will take them.
tho a s5 gourde brings only As cents.
Besides these notes the Government had
100000 gourdes coined :n nickels at the
United States Mint. which it rushed into
circulation before the people had time
to think of anything but the Brightness
and beauty of the new money"

The Real American Defined.

There is another point in Gen Sheri-
dams career which it is good for all OF
us to remember. Whereas Grant. Sher-
man and Thomas were of the old ma
tive American stock. the parents of
Sheridan, like the parents of Farragut,
were born on the other side of the wa
ter. Any one of the five was Just as
much type of the real American. of
what is best in America, as the other
four.
