THE WIZ MONUMENT.

We are hearing much less about the
Wirz monument. 1t was not unyailed
on jeff Davis-s birthday. and 1t is said
that the consideration OF the inscrip-
tons to be put upon it will be continued
until some time next Fall. All this
seems to indicate that the sane and sem
sible men of Georgia have seen the per-
nicious effect upon their State of the
Daughters of the Confederacy's intern
perate malice and are bringing infiu-
ences to repress them. Georgia is an
applicant for many fayors from the
Government and from the people of the
rest of the country. Atlanta, wants the
Government to appropriate 100000
for boulevard around the city mark
ing the line of war time defanses That
would be an immense improvement to
Atlanta. 1t is something that the vet
Grams of the Union army feel favorable
to. In addition to identifying the city
it would be of immense benefit to the
holders of the acre property traversed
by the proposed boulevard. 1t would
mean millions of dollars of profits to
these real estate men. Georgia is anx-
ious for National Soldiers Home and
for other favors from the Government.
Above all Georgia wants her immense
resources developed, with enterprising
Northeners to bring the skill and money
into the State necessary for this pur-
pose. All these highly important inter-
ests which appeal strongly to the real
men and women of Georgia are men,
aced by the insanity of the Daughters
of the Confederacy. A monument to
Wirz. whose name is associated with the
massacre OF $4,000 young American
boys, is a flaming insult to every man
and woman in the North. 1t is the
strongest prohibition against Northern
men with capital entering the State.
With so many opportunities offered
them elsewhere men with energy, en-
terprise and capital will not have any
temptation to enter country which is
advertised as the hotbed of secession
and where the feelings of the war are
still rancorous. This is what the nonu-
nent to Wirz means, and it can only
mean it. and it can possibly have no
other effect than TO drive away from
Georgia into ether States the invest
ments that Georgia is so anxious to Sc
cure. We may begin to hope that We
have heard the last of the Wirz monu-
ment

AGAINST ABOLiSHING THE

At the recent Annual Encampment
of the Department of New York, G.. A.
r., the following decisive resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That the members of the
AID Annual Encampment of the De-
partment of New York, Grand Army of
the Republic. for themselves and all
whom they represent, respectfully and
earnestly appeal to our soldier Presi-
dent to withhold his approval from any
plan of consolidation of agencies which
may and likely will work ineonveni-
ence and hardship to the aged and in
firm survivors of the civil war and
their dependents. who prayerfully pc
tition that our President, the soldiers
friend will let well enough alone"
and preserve present methods and pol
icy in the payment of pensions which
have won the approval, for over 80
years, of expert officials and patriotic
citizens
The Departments of Wisconsin and
Michigan, G.. A. R., took similar action.
and the veterans everywhere are unan-
imous in the strong disapproval of the
proposed consolidation.

Next to Gov. Hughes the hero of the
ansi-race track gambling victory was
Senator Foelker, of Brooklyn. Senator
Foeiker came 10 this country from Ger
many a pennileFs boy and began work
as bakers apprentice. He managed to
acquire common school education and
then enough knowledge of the law to
gain admission to the bar. At the time
that the race track gambling bill came
up for vote Senator Foelker was lying
on bed from the results of an opera
ton for appendicitis which left him in
critical condition. His physician for
babe him to leave his bed, but he was so
determined to cast his vote that, at the
risk of his life, he was conveyed to AL
bany. helped into the Senate Chamber,
voted and then returned to his bed. The
moral herOism of this is that it was GER
tain to bring down upon him the perse-
cution Of the wealthy race track gam
blers, who have not hesitated to expend
enormous amounts of money to defeat
legislators who would not vote as they
wished. 1t is on record that a man
named Sanford who IS one of the richest
of the gamblers, spent 100000 at one
time to defeat candidate who had not
done his bidding.

as swift as its enlargement, but exceed
ingly more painful The boycott against
Japanese merchants BIZ the Chinese has
brot the latter to q condition Of humble
apology. The effect of this boycott Illus
trates strangely the strength of secret
forces at work in China. The merchant
guilds have the trade of the country in
their hands and they have decided to
continue the boycott until Japan mate
rally changes her attitude toward the
country. They are OrientaIs enough not
to be misled by any howery speeches or
assurances of eternal Friendship. but in
sist on very material concessions. The
Japanese merchants are quite ready for
anything and the first step they propose
is TO return the Tatsu Maru indemnity
which Japan haughtily exacted from

to submit. but the boycott has proved
more effective than an army and navy

farther
AS for the primaries, experience
has already demonstrated that instead
of fulfilling their alleged purpose of
preventing wealthy men from buying
their way into office they have had just
the contrary affect. The expenses of
holding primaries are very much great
er than under the old system, and in
creasing each year,. 1t has become so
that only rich man can afford the
enormous outlays involved by the
primaries. Several of the Senators
who have been recently elected have
admitted that the costs absolutely re-
quired by the primaries have been all
the way from $4,000 to $4,000, or
more than the entire salary of the Of
flee. Everybody except the political
workers who derive their revenue from
candidates is getting quite tired of the
primaries and is ready for any sugges-
ton as to radical change or complete
abolition.

Gov. Hughes emerges from the tur-

other devices of the politician, his
friends stood firmly by him at Chicago.
and every man that he had reason to eX-
pect voted for him. Not one deserted

that places him at the front of the pub

to victory with absolute fairness and
forcefuIness. The race track gamblers
had millions Of dollars at stake and
used every means to defeat the bill.
They were so powerful as to make a tie
vote in a Legislature which had been
elected upon promises of public reform.
Had Gov. Hughes been more of a poll
tician he might have won his victory by
trading one bill for another and using
the methods common in Legislatures
against recalcitrants. He did nothing
of the kind, but appealed squarely to
the members upon their sense of honor
and decency and what their constitu-
ents expected of them. He made no bar
gains. bartered no patronage and used
no big stick. He simply allowed it to
be- seen that the people of New York
were aroused on the matter, that they
believed in his unseIfishness of purpose
and they would accept no excuses from
their Representatives for not voting for
