THE PROPRIETOR OF THE
NEW PARTY.

Mr.. Hearst is too strenuous and
too radical, but he is a man of great
natural ability. He is either taking
politics too seriously or not serious
ly enough in going off with a new
party movement. If he seeks a lit
tie diversion it seems to be ill-timed,
for the tendency of the republican
party will lead us into a monarchy
if not crushed. MI Hearst should
use his great influence to antagontze
the republican party, and not to
draw from democracy. He will no
doubt see as the campaign progresses
that he is sacrificing patriotism to
ayenge some fancied wrong. 1t is
hoped he will yet line up for Mr..
Bryan.

Perhaps the Same in Every County

From the Nashville (Ga) Herald.
Every newspaper in the state
should give publicity to the changes
in the registration laws made by the
recent legislature Few things are
more sacred to a free people than
their privilege to vote at elections
wherein their public officers are
chosen.
Perhaps in no county in Georg.
are the county authorities so lax in
the enforcement Of the registration
law as in Berrien. The candidates
take possession of the registration
lists and carry them around and reg
lister the voters. Names of voters
are often put down without their
knowledge or consent. 1t is our I'M
derstanding that the new and more
stringent law just enacted will make
such practices impossible The tax
collector gets five cents a name for
every registered voter, and he should
be required to do the work.

1,009 bales. No other market
could reach this figure, probably
none more than half. Beats the
world and sets the limit for measly
competitors. We let Quitman and
Albany and Americas speak up for
themselves. Dawson, we knew,
would get more cotton than She'll

Dawson has the larger territory,
and then it's hard, too, to keep up
with a section where the farmers
use from eight to fifteen tons of

Mr. Bryan has cancelled his en-
gagemeut to speak in Macon on Sep

taken because almost every town and
city of any size and prominence in

headquarters since the announcement
of the Macon appointment was made
urging him to visit those places also.
While we all would have been glad

There was nothing startling
in this WatsOnian endorsement

people have long since learned
that so long as there are only

shifting affiliations of the dis

a different tune our Atlanta cOntem.

years ago, when it just as vehement

dared to protest against the eminent
populist leader meddling with the

Mr.. Watson was no more a democrat
then than he is today. And it seems

whose conduct is marked by the

Judge Alton B. Parker, democratic
nominee for the presidency four years
ago, made a speech in Los Angeles,
Cal, few days ago in which he
vigorously pleaded for support Of
Bryan and Kern in the current cam

and loyalty from a prominent demo
crat who four years ago was put
forward by a contingent intensely
inimical to Mr.. Bryan argues well for
the spirit of harmony now pervading

with regret Of the death of Ira B.

been blind, and a few days ago died
at his home in Brooklyn. His blind

There was no good reason for
continuing the investigation of the
charges made against the prison
commission. Enough had been
brought out to convince the legisla-
ture and the people of the state that
the convict lease system should be
abolished at the earliest possible day
consistent with the means available
for inaugurating a new system for
keeping and caring for the convicts.
The legislature should have been
permitted to dispose of the matter
before the regular session adjourned.

steamship Larache. The rescued num'

the ship.
Most of the passengers on the La
rache were residents Of the Argentine
republic. The I,arache was little more
than an old tub and she proved yer
table death trap when she struck on
the rocks near Muros. She sank In
few minutes. leaving the passengers
and crew struggling in the water. The
small boats on the Larache were either
smashed or capsized. There was
fleet of fishing boats in the neighbor'
hood, and these rushed to the rescue,
but the heavy fog prevailing serious
ly interfeIed with their work The
fishermen succeeded in rescuing sixty
one persons In addition to the cap
tain. the ships doctor and the first
officer were drowned. The disaster
occurred at 5 o'clock In the morning
on Thursday, and most Of those who
we're saved are without clothing.
1t has been ascertained that the
number of passengers and crew of
the Larache totaled $50. Sixty-five
persons are known to have been saved,

PAY LAST TRIBUTE TO
EI-PRES|DENT CLEVELAND
Body Of Statesmen Laid to Rest a,
Sun Was Sinking in the West,
After Simple Services.

Princeton. N. J.-At 6 O'clock, just
as the sun was sinking in the west
distinguished company silently
watched as the body OF ex-President
Grover Cleveland was lowered int
the grave, on Friday.
Then the simple burial service OF
the Presbyterian church was read
and before the last carriage In the
cortege had driven up to the path
leading to the burial place the bene
diction had been pronounced and the
members of the family, President
Roosevelt and others who had gath
cred about the grave were leaving the
cemetery.
Many of the personal friends of the
dead statesman fingered about the
spot which was to mark his last rest
ing place, and each in turn was =.
mltted to cast shovelful of earth
into the grave.
Agreeable to the wishes of Mrs
Cleveland, the services. both at the
house and at the cemetery, were Of
the simplest character.
An invocation, Scripture reading, q
brief prayer and the reading of Will
liam Wadsworth's poem, Character
of the Happy Warrior" constituted
the services at the house, while the
reading of the burial service at the
grave was a brief and impressive
ceremony.
Although the funeral was of a
strictly private nature, those in at
tendance numbered many distin
guished citizens, including President
Roosevelt, Governors Fort of New Jer'
sey, Hughes of New York, Hoke Smith
of Georgia. former members of Pres.
ident Clevelands cabinet, officials OF
the Equitable Life Assurance society
members of the Princeton university
faculty and friends and neighbors.

semAkiNe OF AMERICAN SOL
plERs IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Demands Of the Service In the Far
East Being Met by Specially
Arranged Tournaments
and Drills.

The American army in the Philip
pines is doing things which not only
are making for the efficiency OF the
service in the islands, but which Is
likely to set a new pace for the drill
ing of the soldiers at home. Here is
one of the tests for the cavalry at the
recent military maneuvers at Pasay,
near Manila: A laundering gallop
down a straight course, over low
fence and across a sixfoot ditch; bang
with a revolver at target on the
right, bang at another on the left;
double slashes with the sabre and on
with the heads of two dummy infantry
men; another gallop; tugging down
suspended ring; finish in minute or
less.
Seven branches of the service were
represented and $4,000 men were at
the scene 1t was the greatest thing
of the kind ever held in the army, far
surprising every previous attempt. 1t
is expected by Maj. Gen. Wood that
the idea will sweep through the whole
army and be put into operation all
over the country.
The real purpose of the meet was to
inculcate preparedness for war. And
it did. Before the finish of events at
the end of the week, soldiers and
civilian spectators had seen every con-
ceivable maneuver and test Of skill.
There was fencing with broadsword
and bayopet. There was wall scaling
by infantrymen and by artillery pla-
toons that carried field guns over 12-
foot wall and discharged them on the
other side within three minutes. There
was individual scouting. There was
shooting down the enemy's scouts.
fording streams under arms and ac-
coutrements and rescue races under
fire by hospital corps were other tests.
The usual events of track meets
were run off, such as running, hurd-
ling, jumping, pole vaulting and shot
putting. There were wrestling and
boxing matches, and, to the chagrin
of the Americans, a Filipino won the
welterweight championship.
The whole thing was marked by the
greatest rivalry. No score was an
nounced until the whole meet had
been finished, but the individuals and
the various companies kept close track
of theil points. Toward the end the
camp was tremendously excited.
Perhaps the most striking exhibi-
tions of all were those in the water 1t
