A libs ms Street, Atlsnte; Gs. EsCsrsd *■ seread-etats natter April A ISA at the Peatoflea At Attests, Ga.. under act at eaasma of March 1 U71 The Welcome to Bryan. Today William Jennings Bryan will arrive in New Tork city proper and will be the honored guest at the most notable public reception ever accorded a private clt* lien In this country. If he were some conquering hero returning from the well fought field, he could not lie the recipient of a more spontaneous outpouring of enthusiasm than that which greets him today. But he Is no conquering hero. He has always employed the arts of peace. He has con' quered nothing more martial than the minds and hearts of men and this ho has dqne by the mere tone ot his In- tellect and the vigor of his own splendid personality. There Is something so manifestly sincere In every act and In every utterance of the man that he cannot fall to command admiration and attention wherever ho may go. Ever since that August day In 1823 when his speech on the floor of the House of Representatives sent his name ringing throughout the country, he has challenged the admiration of the world. He awoke next day to find himself famous and his reputation has been growing ever since. No liner evidence of the admiration and esteem In which he Is held could he furnished thnn by this great outpouring of the |>eoplc to meet him at the gates of his native land after a return from a tour around the world. There Is not a state or a territory In the union— there is not a city of any considerable alee which has not sent Its official or unofficial delegation to greet him upon his arrival and to participate In the great reception to be held In Madison 8quare Garden tonight. And this outpouring Is essentially spontaneous. There has been nothing "cut and dried” about It As he neared home a feeling became more and more manifest that some such tribute should be paid him upon his ar rival. The movement has grown day after day until now It Is a veritable avalanche, and even the metropolis Itself will hardly hold the hundreds ot thousands who will gather there to do him honor. It may be that in the shifting shuttle of events Wil liam Jennings Bryan will never become president of the United Btates. He may fall In tho light before the people havojin opportunity to place him In the chair of the chief executive. But it will be a benediction for him to look back on such a day and such a scene as that which be Is witnessing In New York, and he can at least reflect pioneer among the reformers of the day. It was hlB aggressive exposure of the "system" and Its methods which precipitated the Inveatlgatlons which have been going on and he was largely Influential In bringing about the legislation regulating corporations He Is essentially a tighter, and It seems strange to think of him as bowed and crushed by an overmaster- Ing sorrow. He has the tenderest sympathy of the people of the whole country. Georgia’s Reduced Taxes. The reduced rate of taxation decided upon by the governor and comptroller general on yesterday Is another gratifying evidence'of the substantial progress and pros perity of this grand old state. The reduction of 10 cents on a thousand dollars Is not In Itself very considerable to be sure. But the fact that a state like Georgia, In the face of the liberal appropriations made by the last general assembly, can reduce the tax rate at all. Is worth more than passing attention. The appropriations made by the legislature were all of them well considered and applied to purposes where they would do the most good. The establishment of ag ricultural colleges In every congressional district was In Itself enough to commend tho last legislature to the con- fldenco and esteem of the people, but this Is only one of the many good causes for which appropriaUons were made. There could have been no good grounds for complaint If the tax rate for the next year, had been slightly In- creased, but the contrary Is the case and the people of the state are called upon to pay only $4.80 on the thou sand for-next yeir. This Is but one more note In the great chorus of prosperity which Is being sounded throughout the state. The Georgian has taken particular pleasure In calling attention to the various evidences of prosperity as they have come to light. They have shown that Atlanta spe cifically and the s<ate In general have seen growing and prospering as the/ never have before. Induatrially ami commercially we are waxing greater with every succeeding year, and whenever to other evi dences of growth tl ere may be added a reduction In the rate of taxation, wr And abundant reason to commend Georgia to the Investor and the home-seeker who chooses to cast In his lot w.th us, to grow with our growth and prosper with our prosperity. Growth and Progress of the New South Under Ibis bead will appear from time to time Information Illustrating the remarkable development ot Ute Booth which deaenres something more than pass ing attention. • Our Iron and Steel Markets. The production of pig iron In our Southern territory ahowa some Improve ment. Quotations of the product, however, are ■steady, though for a few days recently an effort was made to bring about an advance and a higher price was named. Sales .made In the past two weeks range on a basis of between 111.35 and 811.50, No. 2 foundry, with the latter price the maximum except for a few lots which stipulated Immediate delivery and carried other regula tions. A large amount of iron has been sold In the past two weeks under $12.50, No. 2 foundry, as the basis. There Is a good Inquiry for the product still being received In this territory, but the prices do not appear to be Inclined to go above'the 212.50 rate. However, at that price the manu facturers are accepting orders. TYie probable make for the first three months of the last half of the year has been sold ahead and some busi ness booked for the latter part of the period mentioned. The deliveries will be made fust as fast as the railroad cars can be procured and men can load the product. There will be no accumulation In the Southern territory at all this year, and the Indications point to practically barren furnuce yards at the beginning of the coming year. The consumers Indicate by their Inquiries the need for a large quantity of Iron for this jfar's melt yet. The consumption throughout the South Is healthy and the outside shipments are strong Selling agencies throughout • the country announce that Southern Iron Is being looked to for delivery during the latter part of this year and the first of the coming year. In the Southern territory sev eral furnaces which have been under repairs for some time will shortly be manufacturing Iron again. The make Is somewhat better than U has been In three or four months. The prospects for an Increased output are very bright. Quotations will remain Arm during the balance of the year. An Im provement la expected, 214 per ton Iron, No. 2 foundry, being the hope of the larger companies for the coming month. Special analysis Iron and special brands command a better price than the regular quotations. In rolling mills circles conditions are picking up again. Fuddling de partments are qn In three of the larger mills'In the Southern territory, laying In a good stock of muck for use In other departments. It may be the second week In August before the finishing department In the big mills will again resume operation, and then a long and steady operation Is looked for. Cast Iron pipe concerns In the Southern territory report good business and successful operation. Machine shops and foundries are doing nicely, though there Is room for some Improvement In the prospects. THE APT QUOTATION “ ‘Tla not In mortals to command success, But we will do more—Sempronlua. we’ll deserve it.” An Evangel of Peace Tuesday was tho anniversary of that great apostle of peace, Grotlus. and the occasion was llttlngly cele brated In the land of his birth. Hugh de Groot, Istlnlxcd Into Hugo Grotlus, was born at Delft, Hollnnd, on April 10. 1683, and died at Ros took, Germany, while seeking to return from France to bis adopted country of Sweden, on August 28, 1046. Ills Influence upon history has been extraordinary, since It was In his single mind that the laws of nations flrst found formulation, his most Important book on the law of peace and war being conceived by him before he was 21, though not Anally published until March, 1026. It is still of authority, and from It may truly be aald to have grown the International penco tribunal at The Hague. The life of Grotlus possesses ninny elements ot nr mance. He was precocious to a degree, publishing good Latin verses when he was 0, In tho university at 12, editing Capelin’s works at 15, a doctor of law at Leyden at 16, historian of Holland by cholco of the states general at 20, and entering on his studies of International law at 21. Reltglobs difficulties between the orthodox Calvin ists and the remonstrants renched their cllmnx In 161V, when Grotlus, as a remonstrant, was sentenced to Itn prlsonment for life for his liberal opinions and confined In the fortress of I-ovcateln, near Gorcum. His devoted wife was permitted to aharo Ills captivity only upon the condition that she herself remain a prisoner, and she It was who contrived his esenpo In 1621. The books Grotlus had read and wished to ex change -for others were sent at regular Intervals with tbe washing In a chest to Gorcum. Repeated Inspec tions haring disclosed nothing but books and linen, Gro tlus himself was placed In the chest, and In April. 1621, was tree at last and In Pnrls. There, though suffering from extreme poverty, he composed his great work. Sweden availed herself of hla manifest talents, and be served as Swedish ambassador lo the court of France trem 1635 to 1645. In this last year he obtained his retail, but was stricken with mortal Illness during the Jou'ney. Lawson Among the Shadows. It Is a pathetic spectacle which Thomas W. I-nwson presents, as he sits among the shadows, at bis magnifi cent country home and mourns over the wife ot hts youth. For thirty years she was his ’’chum” and com panion, and now he alls all day beside the unburted body at his magnificent estate, Dreamwold, In Scltuate, and paces tbe floor ot his bedroom moat of the night. Each morning he covers the hermetically sealed coffin with flowers, and there remains with It until dark, alone and silent His grief Is heartrending and shows no sign of be ing less acute today than the day his wife died suddenly, nearly a month ago. He has abandoned business com pletely, having left sll his vast Interests on “the street" to his private secretary, Edward F. MrSwcency, nnd all attempts to induce him to resume his activities are fail ures. After Mrs. I-awson’s funeral In Boston Mr. I-awson had tbe body taken to Dreamwold and there placed lit the living room of the little English cottage on tho grounds which Mrs. Lawson had named "The Nest." There It remains, Mr. Lawson refusing to jiermtt lls hartal. All his daughters are with hint, and Ills son. Arnold. Is also at Dreamwold. Scarcely any others nre permitted within the grounds. War on Mormonism. Now that our own gubernatorial race Is settled we are In a position to enjoy the contests In the variotis oth er states ot the union. One of the most Interesting of these Is tho campaign out In Idaho. Judge Stockslager, the Democratic can didate, baa announced his platform, which is certainly an Interesting one. He proposes to go before the peo ple on a half dozen Important Issues; chief among which Is the elimination of the Mormon church from political domination. Hnrdly leifs Important are the plsnks dealing with the “six bit" insurance companies and change ot venue In criminal cases. On the anti-Mormon Issue Judge Stockslager ex pects to win tho feminine vote, Idaho being one of the states where equal suffrage prevails. To the Georgia citizen It sounds strange to hear of a political candidate golnp before the people begging for the woman vote on the ground thnt he has taken a firm stand for the Integrity of the home. Judge Stockslager has to meet local conditions, however, and the woman vote ot Idaho Is to be sorlously considered. The firm antf-Mormon stand, he foresees,' will lose him virtually all the Mor mon vote, but he fully believes "that this same vigorous anti-Mormon plank will draw many a gentile Republican vote. Heretofore thp jintl-Mormon plank In our plat form has been so much less pronounced and emphatic than It Is this year that many Republicans who would have voted the Democratic ticket In order to down Mor monism did not do so, as they wero not sure Just where the Democratic party stood on this Issue. This year there can be no question. It Is also believed that hundreds of women voters, Republicans and Democrats alike, will supiiort the ticket Just on account of this plank In the platform." This same Issue Is involved In another plank, which favors the passage of a law whereby prosecuting attorneys may be granted n change of venue In,the trial at criminal actions against Mormons. Judge Stock slager Is tho author ot this plank. Together‘with all his associates on the supreme bench he attempted to get such a law pascsd by the last legislature, but fatlod. The third chief plank of the 8tockslager platform deals with tho attitude of certain Insurance companies which sustained serious loss in the San Francisco dis aster. Because of their refusal to pay dollar for dollar and their attempt to compromise all claims on a basts of 76 cents on tho dollar, these companies have come to bo known ns "six bit” concerns. Judge Stockslager pro poses that Idaho shall take a aland with San Francisco and refuse to permit any "six bit” Insurance company to continue to do bualndfcs or to enter the state. The Des Moines Register says that with such a plat form it Is to be seen that Judgo Stockslager Is going to wage a campaign that will be 'both vigorous and pictur esque. The Idaho campaign will be a confer of Interest In a year that promises much excitement In several other localities. AGE LIMIT By MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN. By CLARA MOllUIM At tb* time when Hhakesp«*fir<» and tbe old comedies were constantly on tbe bosrds tbe elasticity of the chosen lines, their per fect adaptability to ever-varying* rlreuui- stsnrrs, was truly wonderful.
