—Heywood.
Russia and the Holy Alliance.
The great world drama which la being enacted upon
the Rusalan stage has assumed a more critical aspect
within the past few hours than at any time since the
assembling of the representative douma.
It Is given out that the czar has finally yielded to
the persuasion of the reactionaries and has signed the
decree dissolving the chamber. This means, of course,
that the hope of a peaceful settlement of the great ques
tions at Issue Is no longer possible and the reign of ter
ror may be expected to begin at any time.
The most startling of the new developments la the
announcement that Germany and Austria have reached
an agreement to Intervene In behalf of Russia In the
event of a-great uprising of the people. It Is announced
that they will occupy Poland and the Baltic provinces
with the end In view of restoring order.
This would be In effect a revival of that Infamous
Instrument known as the Holy Alliance.
It will be recalled that this hypocritical league and
covenant for the support of absolutism In Europe was
proposed by the Russian Emperor Alexander I, Imme
diately after the fall of Napoleon. Alexander was at
that time under the mystical Influence of tho notorious
Madame Krudener, who attempted to atone for a hey day
of shame by a middle age of pretended piety, and sug
gested to the Infatuated czar a coalition of the Christian
powers for mutual protection and the support theoretical
ly of “Justice, Christian charity and peace."
The rulers who signed It laughed in their sleeves at
the fraud they were practicing on mankind In veiling
so cunningly their common design to overthrow repre
sentative government wherever It should show Its head,
but Prince Metternlch found It useful In support of abso
lutism, and he did not hesitate to avail himself of It.
It was the effort to extend Its operation to the west
ern hemisphere and relmpose upon the revolted states
of South America tho yoke of Bpaln, which gave rise to
the first specific enunciation of the Monroe doctrine, In
1833. President Monroe announced In his message of
that year that we "could not view with complacency"
this effort to extend European control to the countries of
this hemisphere and thus was born the policy which has
ever since borne bis name.
But Its operation In Europe, so long as It lasted, was
sutflctently dlastrous. There was little in the Holy Al-
lanco to Justify Its name, and everything to confirm the
fact that it was Instituted to put down representative
government
However thinly disguised, such Is In fact the purpose
of the present agreement among the sovereigns of the
same three countries which formulated It 90 years ago. It
Is Intended to uphold the divine right of the autocrat of all
the Russlas.
But the world has progressed a long way since 1815.
The spirit of democratic republicanism has been growing
and expanding every year, and tho people of Russia are
themselves fully awake to the perils of the hour.
The douma may be dissolved, at the point of the
bayonet, as now seems probablo from the concentra
tion of troops In the capital, but the loyalty of the army
Is gravely doubted, while the determination of the revo
lutionists Is beyond all speculation.
We are living In a momentous period. The map of
the world Is quivering and oscillating. It needs no prophet
or son of a prophet to teach us that tho next few weeks
will be absorbing In the highest degree, with a strong
probability that'the long anticipated reign of blood and
terror has come at last.

The Fiscal Year’s Cotton Exports.
Statistics aro at hand showing the marvelous growth
of the cotton Industry during recent years, and particu
larly for the last season.
AS furnished by The Wnll Street Journal, the prelim
inary figures aro at hand giving exports of cotton from
the United States, by months, during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1906. A total of 7,041,168 bales, weighing 3,*
698,378,110 pounds, valued at $400,426,967, was exported.
During the month of December this movement reached
the maximum for the year, when 1,094,503 bales were sent
abroad. The month of minimum export was July, with

The value of last year's exports of cotton was the
largest In the history of the trade. No other crop added
anything like $400,000,000 to the credit of the United
States In foreign exchange. Of the principal domestic
products exported raw cotton contributed 45 per cent In
1904.
A German consular report, recently Issued, ts resiion-
slble for the statement that half the total imports of King
Menellk’s dominion of Abyssinia consists of cotton.
We are told that the natives use hardly any other
kind of cloth, and have It bleached or unbleached, ac
cording to their means. Rough unbleached cotton cloth,
the article which enjoys the largest demand. Is sold local
ly under the name of "Abu-djedid." Owing to the low
price at which they offer their goods the American mam
ufacturers are practically controlling thin trade. They
make their shipments via Aden and the annual badness Is
estimated at over twenty millions of yards of cloth, repre
senting a total value of about $1,094,000. The leadlgg
markets are DJIbutl, Harrar, and Massouah. The un
bleached goods arrive In pieces of thirty yards In length
and one In wldth.'the ‘weight of each piece rarely ex
ceeding about ten pounds. There Is a paper wrapper
round every piece and 25 pieces go to the bale, which Is
carefully packed and protected by canvas. Every piece
of cloth has the trade-mark printed at the end and the na
tives, as a rule, have their own particular fancies In this
respect The brands most In demand are the "Gemal,"
Lion,” "Menellk," "Ferros," "D," and "Balatur," which
average In price about $2.60 to $3.00 a piece.
Abyssinia Is one of the most enlightened and pro
gressive countries of Africa and tbe growing favor In
which American cotton goods are held Is worthy of more
than passing notice on the part of Southern spinners.
The Passing of Sage.
The death of Russell Sage brings to a close a long
and eventful career.
To say that he was successful will at once raise a
controversy among people who entertain conflicting
opinions as to what constitutes success. He began life
as a clerk In a grocery store and by the time he was two
score years of age he had acquired a fortune which was
colossal In tbe days when half a million went much
further and* was a more Infrequent accumulation than
It Is today. He observed tbe laws of health to such an ex
tent that he lengthened out the span of life almost to 90 {
years.
If to "put money In thy purse” be tbe only thing
worth while In life, bis career was not only an abounding
success but an example to the rising generation of every
fhnd and time. As soon as he had acquired his fortune
of half a million dollars he began those railroad opera
tions which made him many times over a millionaire.
That many of these operations were In the nature of
what we now call high finance cannot be denied, and
they must be Judged according to the standards of the
various observers.
But the eccentricities, and If one must be candid, the
niggardly parsimony of the shrewd little man have done
more to make him famous than all his millions.
It has been cunningly whispered more than once
that Russell Sage was, nfter all, ono of those who “do
good by stealth” and would "blush to find It fame,” but If
that were true ho was as secret about It as he was in the
manipulation, of his schemes of finance.
His benefactions did not become known.
A certain amount of Interest therefore attaches to
the reading of his will, to see whether his final bequests
reveal a more generous man than he was reputed to be In
life.
The stories that will be printed during the next few
weeks of his thrift amounting to actual meanness, will
be abundant, and will constitute some very diverting
reading. They are not apochryphal, for the most part, for
nothing Is better established than that this man of mill
ions dined on the cheapost lunch the down-town restau
rants afforded, and that his ready made clothes were
such as his humblest clork would have scorned to wear.
There Is no need to sat anything 111 of the dead, but
It would be worse than hypocritical to shed any maudlin
tears over him. Ills second wife Is still living, and It goes
without saying that she will miss him and perhaps
mourn for him, but with that possible exception It Is no
use to deny that be will not be mourned. Tbe per
functory flowers on his grave will lack tho essential fra
grance of spontaneous love and affection. He lived and
died to himself, and In no senso can he be regarded as
having been a benefnetor of society. (
Tho world Is little better for his having lived and
the even tenor of tbe world will not be interrupted by
his death.
In Behalf of Small Parks.
The movement In behalf of V:<AV.hlng spaces and
playgrounds for the children should not bo allowed to
languish for a moment.
The experiment already made of open'ng up the
Fair street school yard for tbe children of the vicinity
has proven so much of a benefit and so entirely success
ful from every point of view that the movement In favor
of extending the system Is growing dally.
This should In no way conflict with the plan for tho
city to acquire somewhore comparatively In tho center of
tho city a sufficient space of ground for a small park,
to be set aside In perpetuity for the general public. \Ve
candidly believe that an overwhelming majority of the
citizens of Atlanta are In favor of such a step and would
be glad to see deflnlto measures taken to that end at the
earliest possible moment.
TV. large cities aro taking to the plan very rapidly
and wherever a new park Is opened It Is hailed with de
light Tho Chicago Examiner of recent date snys that
black-eyed children with solemn features danced and
clappod their hands along tho crowded streets of Jeffer
son and Union when It was told them that the city was
to give them a park In which they could play.
The sites for the small parks on the west side, pro
vided for by the authorization of $1,000,000 bond Issue at
the last election, wero selected Thursday by the west
park board. Three parks aro to bo Immediately built In
the most thickly settled portions of that side of tho city.
One will be between Union and Jefferson streets, Barber
street and Fourteenth place. This Is the very heart of the
Jewish quarter.
Tho Polish children will have n park between Chica
go avenue and Cornell street. Noble and Chose streets.
There Is no public playground anywhere In this crowded
district.
The Bohemian quarter will also have Its park, be
tween Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, Fisk and May
streets. This playground will occupy the only vacant
property In a thickly settled area covering several miles,
with many families crowded Into almost every building.
The saute delight with similar propositions Is ex
pressed In 8b I/tills, New York and everywhere that such
steps are taken and Atlanta could not do better than to
follow the example of these larger, cities.
TIRED OF RECRIMINATION.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
If I, as an humble citizen, may be privileged to do so,
I desire to make a suggestion In regard to the Hoke
Smlth-Clark Howell affair which Is aired daily In two of
our leading papers. It ts this: That we msy through some
reliable source find out "who Is who.” The dally paper
Is tbe only source of Information that tbe common peo
ple have to rely on and dhat are we going to do when one
day The Journal comes out with one statement and the
next day The Constitution comes out and directly con
tradicts It and vice versa. The affair Is getting to be
almost ridiculous even among the younger class. And
again It Is getting so that you cannot express your opinion
without being criticised and almost Jumped on and claw
ed for having your own "free-born American" opinion.
1 think thnt a committee ought to be appointed to Inves
tigate this affair and see who Is In the right and who Is In
the wrong. And If both men are grand scoundrels like
the palters picture them, then I move that we start out
another candidate and put these two In a bag together
and let them fight it out and let our papers once more
be respectable aud mannerly. Respectfully,
A CITIZEN.
The Largest Engines in the World Operated Here.
In pursuance of the policy of presenting under this head from time to
time Information concerning the growth and progress of the South, The
Georgian calls attention to the fact that the Atlanta and West Point rail
road has recently purchased and within the past thirty days has begun to
use on Its system two of the largest locomotive engines In the world.
Events of this kind occur from time to time, and totally escape the
attention they deserve, but the present Instance deserves something more
than passing comment. It la a notable circumstance, Indeed, when we con
sider the number and extent of the rail road e of the world, that right here
In Oeorgla a railroad has equipped Itself with two such monster engines,
which easily carry off the palm.
It Is also a matter worthy of comment that these engines were de
signed by President Wlckereham and his subordinates of the road. Al
though minor changes were suggested and carried out while the engines
were In course of construction at the Baldwin Locomotive Works, the fun
damental principles were unaltered, and It Is to these gentlemen alone that
the credit Is due.
Perhaps some Idea of the else of engines Nos. $3 and 15, one of which
leaves Atlanta for Montgomery at 4:20 p. m. dally, while the other arrives
at 11:35 p. m., may be gathered from the fact that each weighs 219,000
pounds, has six driving wheels of 6 1-3 feet In diameter, cylinders 21 by 36
Inches, with a steam pressure of 400 pounds to the square Inch. These
engines cost $16,000 each, and carry 7,000 gallons of water.
It would be almost Impossible to lay what speed they would be able
to develop If they were put to the extreme test, for nothing Is more cer
tain than that they would go a great deal faster than anybody wopld be
willing to ride. It Is well -established that they can draw a train of twelve
heavy coaches at the rate of <0 miles an hour, and can make the trip with
such a train from Atlanta to Montgomery, a distance of 175 milts, In three
hours, Including one necessary stop for water. In charge of Engineer
flpurlark or Engineer Connor, two veterans, to whom the engines have been
assigned, and carrying only enough coaches to steady them, they would go
faster than any passenger would desire to travel—at least for the second
time. i
On a recent run to Atlanta seven miles were covered In eight minutes
flat, on a 1 per cent up grade, carrying a heavy train of cars.
These engines have been equipped with a new patent air brake. In
vented by Engineer Hicks, which promises to work a revolution In this de
partment of train euulpment. It possesses a number of advantages over the
old system. Mr. Hicks |9 now In the North, tvhere he has gone to equip
a number of engines on the Pennsylvania and'the New York Central rail
roads with these brakes, which are giving complete satisfaction wherever
they are operated, and his friends are confident that a large fortune awaits
him In the development of his Invention. '
He Is manufacturing them himself, and has not yet taken any steps to
dispose of his rights. It Is more than probable that a large plant in the
near future will be erected here In Atlanta for the manufacture- of these
brakes, with Atlanta men, Including Mr. Hicks, as the shareholders and-
leadlng spirits In the enterprise. ' 1
Thus another clement In Southern development, of which the public at
present does not realize the full Importance, will be added to our Industrial
resources.
It Is the purchase and operation of such engines as those to which
we have called attention, and the Invention and exploitation of this new
air brake, which Is already accepted as entirely practical, which go to
make up the sum of our greatness along the tine of industrial growth and
progress In the South.

PHILI8TINE AND PHARI8EE.'
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In a recent Issue of your paper you
publish an article "Philistine and
Pharisee,” taken from the New York
Globe. This article Is unjust and un
kind to Mrs. Eddy, whose life purpose
Is to make the world better, healthier,
and happier. In Concord, Mrs. Eddy's
home, she Is regarded as a good citi
zen—respected and honored as a good
woman, and her beautiful Christian
life Is such that she bas lived down
the old proverb that "A prophet Is not
without honor save In hts own coun
try.”
As to the sale of Science and Health,
we quote from Mr. Alfred Farlow, C.
8. D., who has been In close touch with
the Christian Sclencs movement for
years. "We have no apology to offer
for the enormous sale of Science and
Health, nor for the fact that It brings
to Mrs. Eddy a handsome profit, for
the book Is well worth the price It
bears and It Is well known to Chris
tian Scientists that Mrs. Eddy spends
her money In ways that are most ad
vantageous to the cause of Christ and
the general well being of mankind. The
marked demand for the book Is occa
sioned by Its unparralleled value as a
key to the Scriptures. Moreover, the
most of those who have purchased
Science and Health and have practiced
what It teaches, are ready to testlfy
that aside from the extraordinary spir
itual benefits which they have de
rived therefrom. It has saved them a
good many times Its value In dollars
and cents by doing away with doctors
bills. Yours truly,

STICKABILITY
VERSUS
QUITABIL1TY
By JOHN ANDER80N JAYNE.
On the morning of May 1L 1654,
General Grant was standing In front
his tent talking to a congressman who
had come from New York down into
the "Wilderness” to see how the tide
of battle was going. After a long
conversation the congressman asked
General Grant to give some message
to tbe people of the North relative
what he proposed doing. The great
general hesitated, and then turned and
wrote a message of two hundred
more words, and said to the congress
man as he handed It to him: "This
all that I have to say.”
Then aa the roar of the terrible bat
tle of Spotsylvania was lifted higher
and higher, General Grant turned his
attention to the progress of the battle,
while the conkressman, EL B. Wash
burne, began his Journey to New York.
There would be nothing remarkable
In the episode were It not for the fact
that In those brief two hundred words
there was a short epigrammatic sen
tence that afterwards became a house-
bold word all over the country—a sen
tence that expresses the unconquer
able, Indomitable will of the man who
came, as the months rolled by, to bear
the name of “Unconditional Surrender"
Grant.
Those word* were these: "I propose
to fight 15 out on this line If It takes all
summer.
Those words have the- right ring to
them. They are like deep sounding
bells erected on the spires of hope In
the cathedral of the heart, spires of
hope that are built on the Impregnable
rock of an unwavering purpose, and

Qultabillty never forced a march,
never won a victory, never saved a
business enterprise from the rocks of
failure. It Is continually on the look

And the sticker has Just as hard a
time In life as the quitter. Hts line of
life la no more smooth, hts conquests
no more easy of attainment than life
or possibility of conquests has been
for the quitter. The sticker simply be
gins, continues and hangs on, while the
quitter lets go, drops and comes down
with a thud. The cultivation of the
grace of stlckabllity leads to the vic
tory and the victor's reward., Qultn-
blllty knows none of these things. It
sees them afar off, *but never comes
Into possession.
In the midst of your struggles and
battles say with Grant: ”1 propose to
fight It out on this line If It takes all
summer."
It may take all winter, but If you're
right and go ahead, you'll come out
ahead.
Don't quit—stick; and, sticking, win.
