concerning the railroad commission
saying that Murphy Gambler must be
reelected and ODE Stevens defeated,
Mr.. Smith said the former was the
only member of the commission de-
serving reelection, while the latter
was "a politician who will vote which

said he understood Governor Brown

as a matter of fact, Senator Bacon

minority in the Senate
Gov. Brown being very popular
with the plain people and Senator
Bacon being a statesman who is an
honor to his state it isn't easy to see
how Mr.. Smith is going to break in,
as it were. There are no such is
sues in sight as those which made
him the successful candidate for Gov

franchiseing the negro is settled and
the craze to put the railroads into a

The people seem disposed to give the
railroads a square deal. They are
realizing more and more that the
railroads are the great agents for

that feeling abroad it will be practi-

basis of a successful political cam

IMMORTALITY.
(ViCtOr HugO.)

| (ViCtOr HugO)
The more a man grows the more he
ought to believe. AS he draws nearer
God, the better ought he to recognize
His existence. 1t is the wretched ten
dency of our time to base all calcuIa-
tions, all efforts on this life only-to
crowd everything into this narrow
span. In limiting mans end and aim
to this terrestrial and material exist
ence, aggravate all his miseries by
the terrible negation at it's close. We
add to the burdens of the unfortunate
the insupportable weight of a hopeless
hereafter. Gods law of suffering we
convert, by our unbelief, into helIs
law of despair. Hence these deplor-
able social commissions. That [ am
one of those who desire-I will not
say with sincerity merely, but with in
eKpressible ardor, and by all possible
means-tO ameliorate the material
condition of the suffering classes in
this life, no one in this assembly will
doubt But the first and greatest of
ameliorations is to impart hope! Our
first duty, then, whether we be clergy
men or laymen, bishops or legislators,
priests or writer's, is not merely to di-
rect all our social energies, but, at the
same time, to lift every dropping head
toward heayen-to fix the attention
and the faith of every human soul on
the Interior life where justice shall
preside, where justice shall be award
ed! Let us proclaim it aloud to all,
no one shall unjustly or needIessly
suffer, Death is restitution. The law
of the material world is graviation; Of
the moral world, equity. At the end
of all, reappears God. Let US not for
get-let US everywhere teach it-there
would be no dignity in life, it would
not be worth the holding, if in death
we wholly perish. All that lightens
labor and sanctifes toil-alI that rem
ders man brave, good, wise, patient,
benevolent, just, humble, and, at the
same time, great, worthy of intelli-
gence, worthy of liberty-is to have
perpteually before him the vision of
better world darting its rays of celes-
tial splendor through the dark shad-
ows of the present life.

RAINS HELP ALONG OUR

Providence continues to smile or

not confined to any special locality

the Americas district. Every day
strengthens the impression that the

canal. originally authorized on the
promise that it would be paid for out
of surplus revenues, to be financed
wholly by bond issue.
4. The great predatory trusts rein
forced and reintrenched in privilege
by a new tariff that as to most of
them leaves their tax schedules IN
touched.
5. In short, more extravaganza.
more taxes, more injustice, more mo-
nopoly, more militarism and more
debt.
In the acceptance of this program
there were Democrats who acted with
the majority every step of the way.
No scheme of Republican taxation has
been too onerous or too discriminate
ing and no Republican plan of ex-
penditure has been too lavish to re-
ceive the support of some Democrats.
These things, together with the ex-
tension of Federal activity in all di-
rectiOns, have not been ACCOMPLISHED
exactly by unanimous consent" as
was said last week by Chairman Taw-
new, but there has been Democratic
assent accompanied by Democratic
timidity and Democratic silence. Is
the Democratic party at large to ac-
cept these conditions and assume re-
sponsibility for them, or is it to make
war upon the whole combination of
oppression, waste and plumber?
Notwithstanding the favor which
certain Democrats in Congress have
shown to plutocratic Republican
measures and methods, the Democrat
ic millions are not naturally inclined
to be assistant Republicans. They are
accustomed to opposition They are
capable of making their opposition eff
fective. They are encouraged by a
Republican revolt of unusual proper
lions. The issues involved take root
deep in Democratic tradition. If De
mocracy will not fight unnecessary
taxation, unjust taxation, extrava-
gance, militarism and monopoly, what
particular wrong may be expected tc
awaken it to action?

Democratic opportunity appears
and is lost with such regularity that
it may not be worth while to make
the inquiry, but once more it is here
and once more the question arises:
What is to be done about it? The
new Administration is soon to be on
record. Certain impressive facts are
as clear to-day as they will be a
month or a year hence. BY the action
of the SiXty-frst Congress in special
session and by the approval of the
President these policies have been
Endorsed and made permanent:
L. Expenditures amounting to one
billion dollars a year, largely for war
purposes, and involving extravaganza
in every direction.
2. Increased taxation to cover past
deficits and to meet the wastefulness
of the future.

EX-GOV. SMITHS POLITICAL FL.
TURF.
Savannah Morning News

(SaVdlnan Morning NeWS.)
There is a good deal of speculation
as to ex-Gov. Smiths political plans.
1t is clear that he has a following,
and there appears to be evidence that
the leaders of it have been partic-
ularly active since the Legislature
has been in session. The impression
is that under Mr.. Smiths direction
they have been trying to so shape leg
lation as to strengthen Mr.. Smith 5
chances for whatever position he
may desire.
One idea is that he is being urged
to run against Gov. Brown for Gov
ernor in the next state election, with
the view of reaching the Senate as
the successor of Senator Bacon. 1t
seems to be admitted that he has no
ambition to be Governor again, but
that he will be gubernatorial candi-
date if it be thought necessary to
