Mrs. Coins had left her house about
o'clock, going down town, and her
husband who Is plasterer, going over
to the Country Club, not far distant,

and steal.
There are no other houses near

and deep gully at that place lends

In Georgia.

The most widely known men in the
Georgia senatorial race are Hoke Smith
and Thomas E. Watson. Both have been
in the public eye for nearly score of
years. and in that period added much to
the gayety and something to the benefit
OF the Cracker state. Now they have
been friends, and now enemies. When
friends they have had monte a canty
day with ane anither." When enemies
they have been the f1ercer for former
friendships.
Mr.. Smith entered politics as a protege
of Grover Cleveland. At that time Mr..
Cleveland was the powerful leader Of
united democracy. and Mr.. Smith young
man OF promise at the bar The Geor-
gian became Secretary of the Interior in
the second Cleveland cabinet.
Though bred lawyer, Mr.. Smith de-
veloped into a practical politician. When
the stir over free coinage of silver shook
the country In 1896, and the Cleveland
people gave sympathy, and practically
support, to the republican national tick
ct. Mr.. Smith withdrew from the cabinet.
He was no more in agreement with Mr..
Bryan and the latter's platform than
were his associates around the cabinet
Mr.. Smith decided to go with his state.
Had he remained at his post, and be-
come associated openly with the Palmer
and Buckner movement. or secretly with
the Mckinley ticket, his political career
would have closed with the Cleveland ad
ministration. Georgia would never have
condoned in his case what Ohio has
done in the case of Judson Harmon.
Mr.. Watson was a politician Ito come
in on a born politician. to employ
popular expression. Success at the bar
had not kept Office out of his calcula-
tons, and his election to Congress seemed
to open the way to a successful career
in politics. Had he remained faithful to
his party he might have reached the SEN
ate years ago.
But fate drew Mr.. Watson away from
democracy and into the camp of popu-
lism, where, until a short time ago he
disported himself more to his entertain
ment than advantage. Populism did not
develop as he had calculated. Georgia
trembled in the balance for a while. but
in the end remained democratic, and Mr..
Watson paid the penalty of his change
of coat His recent putting off OF the
new garment and temperance in the old
will avail him nothing in the present
contest
1t is thought likely Mr.. Smith will be
chosen senator. All things considered, he
is probably the strongest man in the
race. He speaks well. and has been
making study of questions which are
just now much in evidence. But he is no
longer reckoned as Of the Cleveland
school. Rather is he classed as Of the
Bryan school. going far in the direction
of rigid regulation Of trusts. and Of other
things embraced in the propaganda Of
what is known as Organism.

odds while in action than Henry Clay
and Andrew Jackson. They seemed made
to oppose each other. Their contentious
contributed both to the gayety and the
welfare OF their day and country.
Harry Of the West" and 'Old Hickory
were gamecocks keyed for battle and
with each other. The crow Of each was
a challenge to the other, and answered
that purpose to the end.
Nor did the spirit of opposition stop
at the grave. If Mr.. Hobson will put
himself in communication with the Ely
sian Fields he will discover that 1t is
taxing the authorities there to the ut
from renewing their controversies even
in a land Of moonshine and reflection.
The ilIustrious shades do not speak as
they pass by. and a duel between them
at any time would not surprise the dim
community They have changed shapes
and habitations, but not natures Both
have their nerve with them. and each is
filled with the ardor Of command.
And yet Mr.. Hobson proposes a Clay
Jackson memorial highway. to extend
from Niagara Falls to New Orleans. to
be built by the national government and
opened with elaborate ceremonies on the
hundredth anniversary Of the battle of
New Orleans. Mr.. Clay when In Con-
gress advocated a great road from Nj
agara Falls to Florence, Ala. and the
route Is remembered which Gen. Jack
son took from New Orleans to Florence
after his victory over the British.
Let the proposition be examined on its
merits. but not mischristened. The names
of Clay and Jackson do not consist

Water Rates.

The water consumers of Washington
are waiting for the statistics that. 1t
Is understood. are to be forthcoming
from the District building to justify
the proposed increase in the water
rates
IL what has already been put forth
from headquarters in the way of show
ing of cost of water department oper-
alton and distribution is good ex-
ample of the ultimate reckoning upon
which the Commissioners are to base
their suggestion of a raise. the con-
sumers need have no fear of the out
come unless the new rates are de-
clared and enforced in utter disregard
for justice and public sentiment.
The idea of charging the water con-
sumers of the District interest on the
capital invested by the United States
government in the plant is a most
remarkable stroke of financial enter
prise. Suppose the city were TO build
a street railway entirely at its own ex
pense and turn ii, tracks and power
plant. cars and stations, over to a pri
vate corporation to serve the people.
Suppose then the corporation enjoying
this free use of a city-built street rail
way system were to fix its fares in &C
cordance not with the cost of opera
alton and upkeep. plus a reasonable
profit but with :he initial investment
OF the city. plus cost of operation and
upkeep. plus a profit Would not the
public rage with resentment at such
an eXtortion? Yet that is precisely
what is suggested that the District
government is about to do. In the mat
ter of the water rates. Having been
granted by the federal government the
use of water plant built by the
United States for. its own purposes. it
private consumers, who alone bear
the burden of maintenance cost. be-
cause forsooth, it throws into the reck-
oning of cost over half d million dol
lars of annual interest on d capital
investment, interest that has never
been paid by any one to any one and
that has never before figured in the
equation as a factor for determining
the real cost of the service
Water should be served to the peo-
pie of every community as free as pos
sible Where it is necessary to
charge price for it, that price should
be reckoned strictly upon the cost of
impounding and distributing it. with
reasonable profit for private water
company-which is in truth an anom-
ally in these days of good municipal
organization-or a reasonable margin
for deterioration. Anything beyond
the lowest price compatible with good
service is resented by the water con-
sumner. and is to be avoided scrupu-
lousy by municipal officials as an I'M
necessary imposition upon ihe tax
payers.

A Hoodooed Statesman.

Representative Hobson is hoodooed.
And he should take something for it,
Observe:
When there is peace he seeks to pro-
duce war. No two powers have more
reason for friendship than America and
japan. And they are friendly. The
former looks with admiration upon the
progress of the latter. and the latter
with admiration and gratitude combined
upon the former. America opened the
door of opportunity to Japan. And yet
Mr.. Hobson would bring the two powers
into armed conflict. His proposition is
that Japan meditates evil. and only
awaits good opportunity to do evil.
Hence his advice that America put Japan
on notice. and square of for fight.
