Bat we do not bellere title can no done now, nnd It may be tome year* before wo arc ready for ao bit an undertaking. Still Atlanta Sho'dd att Ha taco In that direction Th* Fair of the Fifth Regiment. Atlanta will rally with Interest and enthusiasm to the fair of the Fifth Regiment announced for the second week In May. The Fifth must go to represent At lanta and Georgia at tho Jamestown Exposition. This necessity may havo been casual upon other occasions and at other fairs, but at Jamestown where the representative soldiery of the world, regular and volunteer, Is gathered to stand for tho various countries and tho several states and the many cities surely the Twentieth Century City of tho South cannot fall to havo that regiment which ia the very flower of its cltlsenshlp, on hand. * There should bo nothing perfunctory In the Interest which Atlanta takes In this institution. Tho Fifth Is made up of our own gallant sons and has done ■ signal service In the past and we know IL It has represented us on all occasions with distinguished honor and credit and we nro grateful, and now when the occasion comes when Atlanta In turn can respond to the laudable aspiration of tho Fifth, we trust that them will bo no hesitation In the responso with which tho dtl sens rally to the fair. We feel euro that the regiment and Its friends will provtdo entertainment and attractions sufficient to recom pense all who attend, and wo have only to say that our municipal pride has not bad a more stirring and Ir resistible appeal than In the whole some ambition of our gallant soldier boys to don their bright uniforms and with their shining swords and gallant bearing to stand for Georgia at the finest representative gathering of sol dlers that the world has ever seen. "Raney Sniffles" still runs around among the churches, “toting tales” of discord. Or. Wharton Is rapidly earning In Atlanta tho title of the "Model Revi valist." He Illustrates simplicity without self-seeking and love without dissimulation. He Is moving mightily upon the heart of Atlanta. The Republican field of candidates U swarming toward the presidency. We have but one in all the Democratic rank. Dr. Henry Houck will assume the of- flee of secretary of Internal affairs of Pennsylvania on May 1. His first act was to appoint his chief rival, Mr. James H. Craig, of Altoona, as his dep uty, and the good sense and catholic spirit of the appointment has made Mr. Houck already so popular that he Is already being considered as a candi date for governor In the next electron. The world bates llttlenesa and like* big minded ness everywhere. There Is excellent truth In Mr. Ury- sn's remark that If the Democratic par ty could patent its Ideas It would win hands down. Mr. Brysn's recent d eels ration that the people are capable of self-gotern- tnent. and that the initiative and refer endum should be established, thereby Installing the people's rale, raises a more vital Issue than the qpestlon of government ownership of railroads, for It raises the question, "Shall the People own the government?" that Is, "Shall the people role or ahall they be ruled r* MR. HARVIE JORDAN’S REPLY. Mr. Harvle Jordan replies with equal warmth to tho attack of The Tradesman upon ills Birmingham Warrant Warehouse Company. Having given an extract from one side of the controversy, we cannot fail In impartial justlco to give place to the answer In part from the other aide. Out of the hearing of both aides we may perhaps be given light to see the way of prudence and safety. In a public letter replying to The Tradesman’s editorial, Mr. Jordan said In part: The Warrant Warehouse Company, which was organized at Birmingham and which constructed the most modern and up-to- date warehouse in tho South, Was the direct result of the agita tion for better warehouses by our association. The recent effort to start an exchange In Birmingham where spot cotton can be dealt In, bringing tho grower in direct contact with the world’s msrket and legitimate buyers, will st once tend to simplify and broaden the facilities for marketing spot cotton and sound tho death knell to sil speculative exchanges where futures are traded in and no deliveries of the aetual cotton made. The plan is to list actual cotton when the owner la ready to sell it, with tho grades and weights guaranteed. This system will be made effective by such warehouses as are willing to adopt tho plnn and whoso receipts show the weights and grades as guaranteed for ail cotton offered for sale. Instead of tho buy ers going from warehouse to warehouse or buying cotton on the streets, tho exchange will provide a central avenuo where the buyeri and the representative of tho growers can meet and trans actions made on a far more satisfactory basis nnd with far less cost to the growors than under our present ante-bellum methods. The business men of Birmingham have gotten together, conceiv ed the plan and determined to give It a thorough trial. , If It proves a success, and there !b scarcely any doubt that It will, other cotton points In the South will establish similar trad ing centers, adopting such rules and regulations as will conform to the laws of the states and simplify spot cotton trading. The recent efforts of the mossbtek editor of Tho Tradesman, published at Chattanooga, to try and mgke it appear that these plans aro schemes to Inaugurate a gigantic system of speculation need not be surprising when It is so well known that the editor of that paper is In the employ of New York people, that his paper is published solely In the Interest of the manufacturers and that he would not know a sound business proposition if be mot it in tho middle of the road in broad daylight. Likewise his efforts to make it appear that some Wall street interest is bohlnd these movements Is as maliciously faiso as many other statements which appear from his pen. His statement that I havo In any way, shape or form Induced tho business men of Birmingham to back these plans, because of some Imaginary grudge I had against Atlanta, Is a lie out of the whole cloth. It Is undoubtedly true that Mr. Jordan has onllsted with him In this scheme men not only In New York and in Birmingham, but mon In Geor gia as woll whoso names and characters are too good to admit tho sugges tion of trlckory or bad dealing. The scliemo must needs be extraordinary In the gonlus of trlckory, or the business sense of these sound men must have greatly deteriorat ed, If men of the stamp of John D. Walker, of Hancock, could be either per suaded or tricked Into any scheme that is not honest and loyal In ovory way. We shall have to wait for more proofs and other specifications before we can adopt The Tradesman's apprehensions. A FRIEND OF THE SOUTH. Mr. William E. Carhart, of tho Arm of Carhart & Bros., New York, died at his home in Brooklyn on Sunday evening after a brief Illness. A purely news Item like this Is repeated In the editorial column be cause there aro somo things In connection with Mr. Carhart which aro worthy of editorial comment and of grateful acknowledgment No Arm Is more popular with tho Southern trade than this, having been In the business since the early fifties and widely known for Its strict integrity and liberal manner of dealing with Its customers. The point, however, that justifies our editorial comment upon Mr. Carhart's death Is tho fact that soon after the war, when the South was in sore financial distress and sorely needed help, this firm ot New York merchants extended long credit on cheap Interest, and helped mfny mer chants of the South to got a new start In llfo. They were therefore among our benefactors at a tlmo when we needed most the help of those who had capital. Moro than this tho sympathy of theso men for tho South was so great that at the beginning ot the war tboy came South and fought through It In tho Southern army. They havo always been Democrats ot the most pronouncod type, and Mr. W. A. Calloway, of At lanta, who has for twelve years been their representative, Is our authority for the statement that no sontlmont In tho lives ot these great merchants was stronger than the sontlmont of love and loyalty to tho South, ex pressed In an ever prompt and willing helpfulness toward every Southern merchant and ovory Southern enterprise. And so In grateful and kindly memories The Georgian In behalf of the 8outh of theso later days sends this little flower ot remembrance to the grave of the Now York merchant who was our friend when wo needod friends. then In tho name of history nnd of heroic necessity let the Democratic people get together and demand some sort of union and some degree of co herency ir. the rankc ami among the leaders of the party. If this cannot be done then we do not hesitate to say that the peo ple are above parties and that their apparent and vita! interests utterly outweigh tbe claims of any organization.

"Have wo, Indeed, In the old, historic sense, a Democratic party? Tho South la held togotber under tho Democratic label by tho raco question, nnd the raco question alone. At tho North wo sco two factions, neither of which will vote for the other. Yet as a party platform, tho constitution of the United States ought to be broad enough for each ot theso elements to stand upon.”—Cour ier-Journal. There aro times when Colonel Watterson speaks with very great In telligence, and his summary of tbe situation hero makes In part tbe Idea that Inspired the Chattanooga speech. Tho divisions In the Democratic party aro so patent and so evidently remediless at tho present time, that they leave small hopo of any offectlvo relict for tho pcoplo to bo attainod through tho establishment at Washing ton of a Democratic administration. , What we deplore la tho lack of coherency and ot united sentiment In tbe ranks of tho party that has always stood and ought now to stand for the real and vital Interests of the people. And what wo nee Is the profound neceislty which surround! the peo ple st this tlmo for active, vigorous and effective relief along certain lines. There are some reforms which the people need now more than they have ever ueeded them beforehand their necessity along theso lines trahacends and overshadows every other necessity of doctrine or of dogma over which wo have wrangled in times past The problems with which the people are grappling now are problems which must be settled at this time or they may not be settled short of tho economic slavery ot this people. Unless tbe relations ot predatory wealth to the mass of the people (s clearly defined and duly regulated now by legislation and by executive authority, we seriously apprehend that the rallied and reinforced powers of predatory wealt)i. which have heretofore been omnipotent, will ac quire such new force and vitality by emerging In triumph out ot this tre mendous struggle, that we shall not be able In the future to rally the In terests, the seal and the numbers to establish tbe rights of the people and our equality with tbe corporate wealth of tbe country. Least of all do we see along our horizon any shadow of proven ex ecutive capacity large enough and well enough established to offer the well founded hope of leading these reforms to a successful culmination. And eo tbe question I* whether out of mere simple loyalty to “names” and "shadows” and "terms” we should He still and permit this tremen dous era with tremendous movement already crystallized, to pass with out fruit and without triumph, and with a meek dog-like devotion to par ty names be driven dumbly by the party laeh Into another failure, while the railroad*, the trusts and the syndicate*—the meat truats and tha coal trusts, tbe Ice trusts and tha giant mergera—laugh in their aleevee while they rally and triumph and entrench themselves behind Impregnable fort- reaaea for tbe future, laughing In tlfelr sleevea at the cowardice and the folly of the people who were afraid ot their caucuses and afraid of their poHtlclane. It la only at last In the Individuality of the people and In the Indepen dent courage of an intelligent euffrage that tblc great and strenuous struggle can pass out of current history Into permanent aucceas. And from first to laat It la the noise and clamor of tha politicians, the cures of the caucus, tbe crack of tbe party lash and the eelflsh coward ice of the office holder* and the offlea seekers that threatens the dura ble peace and permanent prosperity of the people.

I stood on the streets of Atlanta today As the noble old heroes passed by And pardon me, friend, for the weak ness I showed, But a tear slowly dropped from my eye.

And followed so gallant and brave, Blit r knew what It meant for I stood years ago On the streets of old Richmond and saw These same gallant men, this tame • flag unfurled As they bravely marched off to the war.

And I saw them leave Richmond on April the third; In ashes—forsaken—forlorn. That grandest of chieftains, brave Rob ert E.

Two features not down on the program proved genuine surprises, end gave ss much Uotte, the well-known baritone. Th**.- two features were entirely unexpected, the gen tlemen being prevailed upon at the list minute, tnd their efforts proved entirely To the Editor of The Georgian: What is the attitude of the press to ward the peace movement? Ia It friend, ly and co-operative, or Is It distinctly hostile, or is It serenely Indifferent? Much depends upon the answer, much upon the real condition. In earlier etage of the contention the moralist urged that war was a violation of law, that It was wicked and should be aban doned; later the economist urged Its cost and wastefulness, affirming that whatever good resulted from any war better result could be had through e in ference and mutual agreement, N?w, If a practice be wrong, evil In Its out come, costly and the cause of human suffering, what reason exists for Its continuance? There Is no real reason, only a blind clinging to traditions which have long ago demonstrated their own fallacies. Brought Into the realm of Intelligent discussion, the war advocate must go down In defeat; the present age offers him not even stand ing room. Japan goes to war with a superior power and gains a great and glorious (?) victory; today her people pay the coet and the starving victims wonder what good ? The Russian peas ant, confronted by starvation, prefers to end the suffering and Is slain by the brutal Cossack, who obeys orders, and so peace Is attained. Woe to the victor; woe to the vanquished! An Intelligent writer well versed In matters of which he treats says: "Th# estimated cost of the battleship of the future will be from 27,000,000 to 29,000,- 000 each, and only the great pew. ers can afford them." The economist who Is sano asks: "Can the great pow ers afford such outlay?" Suppose that the nations meet In friendly conference and agree that for a period of live years there shall be no war. no preparation for war. no building of costly battleships; but that the amount needed for such protectors shall be expended In the cause of edu cation? At the expiration of the term an other meeting should bo held and In quiry made. What Is the loss? What Is the gain? Shall we continue as now or return to the old methods? Who can doubt the answer? What valid argument doeB the war advocate advance? Wo expend 28,000,000 and produce a battleship; 21, will pay the cost of a small school house, which will you choose—one battleship or 8,000 school houses? In 1843 Cobden wrote: “Battleships ever form a suggestion for their use, and as long as we havt armies men will kill, light and destroy. Soldiers who do not want to light are not of this earth. Prepare for war and war will come. When government gives to the arts of peace tho same thought and attention that It gives to the arts of war. we will have peace on earth and good will among men. But so long as the soldier takes precedence of the business man In the political courts of the world, famine, death, disease and want will crouch at our doors. Commerce Is production; war Is destruction. Tho laws of production and destruction must and will be made a science; then, and not until then, will happiness come to mankind and this earth serve as pattern for the paradise of another life. Instead of be ing a pandemonium." How can a Christian advocate or engage In war? Wo send our boy* to a military school, where they are taught the gentle art of killing their (ellows, yet even there the ten com mandments aro Inculcated and their practice advocated. How Is It possible for the boy to harmonize two Impossi ble maxims? In days past the gold lace and -brass buttons appealed to the Imagination of the young enthu siast, male and female, but now with the present nondescript wrapping of neutral hue much of Inducement Is re moved, and whatever motive Induces a boy or man to enter the military serv ice It Is no longer the glorious beauty of the uniform; for eo much let the lover of peace return thanks. Recently a preacher In Savannah Is reported as justifying -righteous war." I wrote asking him to define his mean ing; he made no reply, which made me realise the wisdom of his attitude. How can any war bo righteous? Ths question Is up to the public for dis cussion and wise decision; what say the editors? "Which shall It be? Which shall It be?” I looked at John, and John looked st ' me."’ We stand In the presence of eternal verities, and these can not be dis placed. Mr. Garrison, writing of th# "Christian Soldier," saya: "The pulpits bless the victor arms sad praise the bloody work.
