Here I* a little sketch of Confucius' seventy-sixth' lineal descendant, Duke K'unr. who lives In a yamen In China: "Duke K'ung received us In ble official g bes. and was most kind and affable. t la a tall, strongly made man of IS years of age. The duke speaks no English. Hla highness does not often leave hi* home, and has only twice visited Pekin. The large number of members of his establishment who crowded Into the hall to ltiten to the audience caused me to aek the duke If he kept a large establishment, and he Informed me that It consisted of fully <00 souls. His revenue Is derived from the villages of the neighborhood for many miles around, one village u far away from Chufou aa 400 ll (lio miles) paying an annual sum. His highness expressed friendly sentiments toward foreigners, whom he alleges he Ir always glad to receive when they visit Chufou. He expressed the opin ion that English was practically the •BeM language of China." Four peers, 11 baronets and M knights were crested by the king of Great Britain on bis last birthday. Nominally, ihe king did It; In reality, the Liberal ministry did It, tbe "blrth- *day honors" being one of the perqui sites of office. , GEORGIA MILLIONAIRES, OCTOPUS CHASERS AND RAIL ROADS. . A distinguished citizen of that state declares that West Virginia Is in sore need of additional railroads aggregating 2,000 miles. Between the Potomac and the Rio Grande there Is need of additional railroads aggregating 80,000 miles. Aa the orow files It la alxty miles from Somerset, Ky.,.to Glasgows Ky. v and the erow can Journey from one to the other of these towns with out crossing a railroad track, though It Is aa fair a land as the eye of bird ever viewed and rich In mo3t of the natural energies of field, of forest and of mine. But this Is the age of octopus chasing. Where Is the capital ist that will construct a railroad for Hoke Smith and Tom Wat son to play with? Mr. Moses Wetmore Is a man of millions, proprietor of a harm)Ini estate In the Osark region that might challenge the envy of a Hapsburg or a Hohenzollern; but Mr. Moses Wetmore Is not building railroads for th& octopus chasers to practice on. It la narrated that Mr. Tom Watson haa become disreputably rich, and In an honest way, but Mr. Watson is not making railroads for Mr. Hoke Smith to toss In a blanket. Mr. Hoke Smith Is also disgracefully rich—a millionaire, his wealth honestly acquired, we make not the smallest doubt—but Mr. Smith is not building any railroads for Tom Watson or Ben Tillman to chase. • There Is a deal of amusement In the octopus chase. We all got our money's worth out of the Hepbum-Tlliman bill, but It has pretty nearly stopped railroad building, except extensions and connections Imperatively demanded. We are not picking any quarrel with the octopus chasers. They are a noble army of patriots, triumphant and militant. They are all right; but wo do believe they would be publfc benefactors to adjourn the chase until the South gets at least 50,000 miles additional railroad lines to chase.—Washington Post. , The carelessness of The Post as to facts' arid its unreliability In rela tion to men and things. Is perhapsi fitly Illustrated In the estimate of the wealth of Governor Smith and Mr. Watson. These Oeorglahs whom The Post recklessly rates as millionaires are comparatively men of moderate means. Governor Smith bos been a suc cessful lawyer and a judicious Investor and Is doubtless worth about' $250,000, with an Income of perhaps $20,000. Mr. Watson by hla law practice and his books has amassed a fortune of about the same propor tions, but to make lta point and emphasize Its contention The Post cred its them with millions. A bad start. The Post Is owned by John R. McLean, himself many times a mil lionaire, and It 1^ not surprising. In view of Mr. McLean'a Investments, that The Post should be exceedingly kind to the railroads. Behind Its weapon of raillery The Post’s contention la that all rail road agitation ought to atop In order that the railroad men may build more railroads and so develop the country. Which Is a plausible argument enough, and one so commonly, used that It may well be suspected of a general Inspiration from the camps of the railroad magnates themselves. Language and lino of thought aro al most Identical In every section of the country. Wei), we do need more railroads—not vitally or Indispensably, but generally throughout the country the railroads would open new territory and help to develop the country. But we are doing fairly well as It Is. Tho country Is prosperous, farmers and merchants aro alike growing rich. Nobody Is making any particular complaint of business or pros pects for the future'. We might easily manage without any serious loss to scuffle along for a few years, without any more railroads, and still have enough to keep the wolf from the door of the farm house or the mansion. , The only question Is, do we need new railroads bad enough In this country to surrender to thorn after wo have set out to regulate them? Are new railroads so necessary to our continued llfo and prosperity that we can afford to lay down our arms In this militant struggle and permit the railroads to take up their position of advtntage from which tho peo ple have dlslo'dged them, and to regain In a night all the power of their lobbies, th^ subtlety of their passes, the arbitrary tyranny of their ratos, and the almost Insolent Indifference of their offices to the convenience and comfort of the' people? Who can doubt that the fine Italian hand of the railroads Is manu facturing this special plea that Is designed to restore the status In which tho railroads were masters and the people slaves? It would be a bril liant corporate triumph If It should succeed, and It Is evident that the corporations are massing their strength and marshalling their forces, and "seeing" the publicists of doubtful morals about this matter right now, and organising the chorus of protest which Is rolling against the clean, wholesome tide of reform. Whenever you hesr, thoughtful render, a politician or a newspaper sneering at the groat reform movemont and spelling ’It "Refawnt" "be- gosh" and calling Its leaders “octopus chasers," you may Just make up your mind that somebody high In corporate authority has "Interviewed" that politician or editor, and that he la getting ready right now to grad ually "veer back" Into the "conservatism" which has never failed to mean corporate rule In tbe past, and Is equally sure to mean the same thing In the future. t If the people of Georgia, or 0? any other state, should be weak and foolish enough to listen to the oily tongues of corporate sirens, and be either seduced or frightened Into a surrender of what they hare won, until this great question of railroad and corporate regulation Is settled they do not deserve to be free, and will richly msrlt all the Injustice, tho discrimination and the actual tyranny which corporate control has In time past fostered upon the country. This Is a time for tho people to stand Arm and vindicate their intel ligence and their character, and to encourage their great leaders to go forward to tac great ends to which tho people have called them. good government becomes one of the foremost If not the foremost ques tions of the time. Atlanta In the main has been one of the best governed cities In the country, but even Atlantans In and out of official life would find .It ad visable to connect themselves with this splendid organization, and learn how to vote and how td counsel and how to execute In city affairs. THE INDUSTRIAL INDEX. The steady advance and Improvement of The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index Is only another proof of the prosperity that wraps Itself about Southern business In all lta forms. The Index wax started In modest dimensions In Columbus some twelve months ago, aad now, with finely printed pages, with a largo and Increasing circulation, it goes out every woqli preaching the gospel of sunshine and buslnsss cheer to thousands of people In the two states, aa to many In other states. The Index Is doing-a good work for Georgia and Alabama and richly deserving the good will of the business people of the country. < THE QUESTION OF GOVERNING THE CITIES WELL. Secretary Charles Bonaparte Is president of tbe National Munici pal League and also chairman of Itts executive committee. It may be aupposed that when a cabinet officer gives his name and a certain portion of his valuable time to an outsldo organization. It must have something In It of practical force and benefit to good govern ment and to the people. The league Is an educational and non* partisan organisation, formed for the purpose of advancing reforms in our cities. And the work fcf this national league Is very practical and help ful. More than eighty American cities havo up to the Riresent time availed themselves of the schedule for uniform accounting and report ing prepared by the league committee. It’s "Municipal Program" has been used In every constitutional convention and charter commission held since Its publication. Its proceedings are used In the Important college and public li braries In the country. Dr. Amos Parker Wilder, American consul to Hong Kong, In a recent speech before the league, said: "Six months from now. In one hundred universities, students will be found taking notes from remarks made here." Hon. D. P. Jones, when mayor of Minneapolis, strikingly put the case when he declared; "I greatly appreciate the aplendld work of the league, and (or one, lay great stress upon‘the effectiveness of tbe kind of work the league has been doing for the past ten yean or more, and feel that much of the present splendid public sentiment all over this country has been deve! oped and encouraged by the work of the league and similar organisations all over the country." In The Milwaukee Free Press. Mayor John A. Bntler said: "The National Municipal l-eaguc, established In Philadelphia In 1894 and composed of experts In'its official ranks, long ago anticipated, and clearly defined, nearly all of the practical 'Issues’ which form the stock In trade of municipal political aspirants of the better order. In all parts of the country. The clear thought and practical educational work of that organisation form one of our most genuine political asseta and deserve the utmost financial support on all sides."

LEADING NEGRO NEWSPAPERS COMMENT ON MR. GRAVES FROM THE ATLANTA INDEPEND ENT. It makes no difference what may be Mr. Graves’ editorial opinion on the race problem, It esn not be denied that, personally, he Is of a most happy per sonality, and of a sunshiny disposition, scattering kindness and flowers In the pathway of his fellow man, rather than thorns. We have differed from him radically and still do so on ntany questions of political and economic moment, but ouf differences do not blind us to the good In the man, John Temple Graves In common with mankind, has his vices as well ns his virtues, but happily, In hls great character his virtues pre dominate. There Is much more In the man to praise ahd admire than to con demn, and even the negro whom he has often maligned, though we believe without malice or forethought, must feel a distinct loss In hls removal to the North. John Temple Graves filled q place In Southern Journalism distinctly hls own. free from the Intrusion or domination of hls contemporaries. He performed the happy feat without prejudice to the Individualism of Howard. Loyless, Pen dleton, Gray or Estlll. Neither of the great editors felt that Mr. Graves’ In dividuality Interfered with their per sonal Impress because John Temple Graves ts In a class by himself. It has been often said that there was more rhetoric In hls writing than logic; that he lost sight of the force of helpful argument In the beauty of hls platitudes; that Mr. ^Graves dealt more tn the superficial and the liter ary than In tho creative nnd correct ive, yet jnone of these things lessen the appreciation of hls work, or the force of hie personalism In the na tional life. In plain and simple truth John Tetripje' Graves Is a real editor, and a man you can build a newspaper around. The paper adds nothing to Mr.' Graves; h# contributes all to It. The people will read and appreciate Whatever 1 publication he directs, and hls separation from 8outhern Journal ism U an Irreparable loss.’ Mr. Graves has said many hard things against the raco, but there has never been a time when he would not let us stats our case In hls columns. We have, from time to time, disagreed with hint, and roundly denounced hls doctrine, but We have never lost re spect for hie ability and high charac ter. We will miss John Temple Graves In our community life, and hope that he will spend ns much .time tn hls ma ture years discovering and advertising our virtues ns he has in tbe past, mak ing our vices prominent. There Js too much sunshine and heart In the Ufe of John Temple Graves for him to con tinue to make any people, miserable. Mr. Graves, as you go to New York and begin your work In a larger and more useful field, when you write on the negro problem, bear In mind that "flowers on the coftlh cost no fra grance backward over life’s weary way." We are your friends, and have help, ed you to the place you now succeed to by our support. In your most pros perous years we sail, as a matter of gratitude, that.you at least, now that you are well around the corner, fill our lives with some sweetness and hope. BALANCE OF TRADE FROM 1789 TO 1905. To the Editor of The Georgian: Onr so-called "farorSblo bn In nee of trade" bis been one of the most potont arguments of the high protectionists. They hare dem onstrated oiir unbounded prosperity par-' tleularly by our great excess of exports over imports. McKinley nud Hunna, In sit their tariff speeches, declared that ' lids balance Is peld to ua In purr gold." Rut thnt enu not be, for gold as well as sliver and merchandise.

A part re. FROM THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Stronger things have happened than that In which the present editor of The Atlanta Georgian Is now the central figure. Andrew Carnegie rose from the ranks of the newsboy to the sphere of «o International arbiter of peace. Abra ham Lincoln stepped over hls pine rails Into the presidency of the great Ameri can Union. Frederick Douglass took the Implements of slavery q*bd shaped and welded the finest form of Ameri can manhood to which the nation lias ever given Its respect and shown Its esteem. Any man with merit can and will rlne. This Is the secret of the promotion of Editor John Temple Grayer. The Georgia editor has been writing beautifully and weightily, and the promotion to a Hearst paper natu rally follows. The emphasis must, however, fall on the one thing that above all others made It possible for Editor Graves- to reach possibly the highest notch In hls Journalistic career—ability. No man has read after John Temple Graves without the feeling following the thought forced on by the Impressive touch of a hand trained to the art of the written word. Whether ho has engaged In reflective mood nnd dwelt calmly by to advise hls common breth ren as to the Ills and the ends not best for the general good; whether he was seized with a passionate love for hls own race or an Intensified hate for the offending negro; whether he was wrought up In the advocacy of mu nlclpal ownership or tangled In the network of. labor problems and .of finance; whether he was pleased or vexed, dead sure or uncertain, or right or wrong; whether or not he wanted for president Hearat or Bryan or Roosevelt, or nobody at all, one thing could, always, be counted on: John Tehipte Graves wrote like he himself was thinking the thoughts he was writ ing nnd like he himself was writing the thoughts he was thinking. They were hts and that Is the first and last Im- S reunion made on you. Ability la at the ottom of a strong and Impressive per sonality In the man and ability sup ports the Individuality of a man's work. Above all, John Temple Graves has the courage to speak hts convictions. On the race question In the South no man has stood more firmly and un- equlvocably In hls original attitude as to the disposition he thought wan wise In tho solution of It all, Tho world has Infinitely more respect for the man who shows plainly and boldly under what flag he offers bln life-blood than for the man who slips up after the bat tle Is over and Joins In "me too” with no fixed allegiance beforehand. It does not require much courage now to say that ono Is against the colored man. It does require a large amount of cour age for a white man to say he Is for the colored man. Since no Southern white man has come squarely out and taken an unapologlslng stand for the negro, we had much rather trust our cause In the hands of one who has stated hls position nnd remains true to hls first enunciation, Mr. Graves Is less harmful than the man who does hls work against us secretly nnd strikes us unawares. One should appreciate manliness even In hls enemy. We ap preciate manliness. • • • We believe that most of the colored people nre - In hearty accord In the wish that Editor John Templo Graves will find new Inspiration In the work which ho Is about to t enter upon as edltor-tn-chlef of The NeWr York American. We believe that the op portunity now at hls hand to rise above mere sectionalism and above mere color lines In the doing of genuine service to all the people. North and South, white and black, great and small, will not go unheeded, and, bet ter still, will not be abused. In the name of the best colored peo ple of this magnificent cltj- w e wish for the brilliant John Temple Graves a bigger, brighter, better nnd happier life aa edltar-ln-chlef of Tho New York American.
