Today William Jennlnga Brynn will arrive In New York city proper and will be the honored guest at the most notable public reception ever nccorded a private clt- Ixen In this country. K he were some conquering hero returning from the well fought field, he could not be 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 ty> has done by the mere force of 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 mnn that he cannot fall to command admiration and attention wherever he may go. Ever since that August day In 1893 when his speech on the floor of tbe House of Representatives sent his name ringing throughout the country, he has challenged the admiration of the world. He awoke next day to And himself famous and hlB reputation hns been growing ever since. No Oner evidence of the admiration and esteem In which he Is held could be furnished than by this great Outpouring of the people to meet him at the gates of bis 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 n city of any considerable size which has not sent Its ofllclnl or unofllcial delegation to greet him upon bis arrival and to participate In the great reception to be held In Madison Square Garden tonight. And this outiiourlng 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 dny after day until now It is a veritable avalanche, and even the metropolis Itself will hardly hold the hundreds of thousands who will gather there to do him honor. It may bo that in the shifting shuttle of events Wil liam Jennings Bryan will never become president of the United States. He may fall In the light before the people have an opportunity to placo him In the chair of the chief executive. But It will be a benediction for > him to look br'-k on such a day and such a scene as that which he Is witnessing In New York, and he can at least reflect "'Tia not In mortals to command success. But we will do more—Sempronlus. we'll deserve tt." An Evangel of Peace. Tuesday was tho anniversary of that great apostle of peace, Grotlus, and the occasion was fittingly cele brated In the land of his birth. Hugh de Groot, latinized Into Hugo Grotlus, was born at Delft, Holland, on April 10, 1583. and died at Ros tock, Germany, while seeking to return from France to his adopted country of Sweden, on August 28, 1646. His influence upon history has been extraordinary, since it was In his single ntlnd that the laws of nations first 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, 1625. It is still of authority, and from It may truly be said to have grown the International peace tribunal at The Hague. The life of Grotlus possesses many elements of ro mance. He was precocious to a degree, publishing good Latin verses when ho was 9, In the university at 12, editing Capella's works at 16, a doctor of law at Leyden at 16, historian of Holland by choice of tho states general st 20, and entering on his studies of International law at 21. Religious difficulties between the orthodox Calvin ists and the romonstrants reached their climax In 1619, when Grotlus, as a remonstrant, was sentenced to Im prisonment for life for his liberal opinions and confined In the fortress of Lovestetn, near Gorcum. His devoted wife was permitted to share his captivity only upon the condition that she herself remain n prisoner, and she it was who contrived his escape lu 1621. The books Grotlus had read and wished to ex change for others were sent at regular Intervals with the washing In a chest to Gorcum. Repeated Inspec tions having disclosed nothing but books and linen, Gro- tins himself was placed In the chest, and In April, 1621, was free at last and In Paris. There, though suffering from extreme poverty, he composed hts great work. Sweden availed herself of his manifest talents, and he served as Swedish ambassador to the court of France from 1635 to 1646. In this last year he obtained hts recall, but was stricken with mortal Illness during the journey. Lawson Among the Shadows. It is a pathetic spectacle which Thomas W. Lawson presents, as he sits among the shadows, st hip magnifi cent country home and mourns over the wife of his youth. For thirty years she was his "chum" and com panion, and now bo sits all day beside the unburied body at his magnificent estate, Drcamwold, In Scttunte, and paces the floor of his bedroom most of the night. Each morning he covers the hermetically sealed coflln 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 all his vast Interests on "the street" to his private secretary, Edward F. McSweeney, and all attempts to Induce him to resume his activities ate fail ures. After Mrs. Igiwson's funeral In Boston Mr. Lawson had the body taken to Dreamwold and there placed in tbe living room of tbe little English cottage on the ^grounds which Mrs. Lawson had named "The Nest." here it remains, Mr. Lawson refusing to permit Its 'burial. All his daughters are with him, and bis son, Arnold, Is also at Dreamwold. Scarcely any others are permitted within the grounds. Whatever may be said of the motives which actu ated him, it cannot b» denied that Lawson was the pioneer among the reformers of the day. It was hts aggressive exposure of the "system” and Its methods which precipitated the Investigations which have been going on and he was largely Influential In bringing about the legislation regulating corporations. He Is essentially a lighter, and it seems strange to think of him as bowed and crushed by an overmaster ing sorrow. He has the tenderest sympathy of tbe 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 tt^e liberal appropriations made by tbe last general assembly, can reduce tbe 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 erery congressional district was In Itself enough to commend the last legislature to the con fidence and esteem of the people, but this Is only one of the many good causes for which appropriations were made. There could have been no good grounds for complaint It the tax rate for the next year had been slightly In creasod, but the contrary la the case and the people of the state are called upon to pay only |4.80 on the thou- ann<l 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 larlous evidences of prosperity as they have come to light. They have shown that Atlanta spe cifically and the mate In general have neen growing and prospering as the.' never have before. Industrially and commercially we are waxing greater with every succeeding year, and whenever to other evi dences of growth tl ere may be ndded a reduction In the rate of taxation, w) 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 Und<*r this brad will Appear from time to time Information Illustrating the remarkable development of the 8outb which deserves something more than pass* Ing attention. Our Iron and Steel Markets. The production of pig Iron In our Southern territory shows 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 212.26 and 111.60, 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 >13.60, No. 2 foundry, as the basts. 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 112.60 rate. However, at that price the manu facturers are accepting orders. The 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 Just 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 furnace yards at the beginning of the coming year. The consumers Indicate by their Inquiries the need for a large quantity of Iron for this ; far'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 It 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 is expected, 114 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. Puddling de partments are on 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. Caet 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.

"Weil, J got War on Mormonism. Now that our own gubernatorial race Is settled we ars In a position to enjoy the contests U the various oth er states of tho union One of the most Interesting of these la the campaign out In Idaho. Judge Stockslager, the Democratic can didate, has announced his platform, which la 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. Hardly less Important are the planks dealing with the "six bit" Insurance companies and change of venue In criminal cases. On the anti-Mormon Issue Judge Stockslager ex pects to win tho fomlnlne vote, Idaho being one ot the states where equal suffrage prevails. To the Georgia citizen It sounds strange to hear of a political candidate going before the people begRlng for the woman vote op the ground that he hae taken a firm stand for the Integrity of the home. Judge Stockslager has to meet local conditions, however, and the woman vote of Idaho Is to be seriously considered. The Arm anti-Mormon stand, he. foresoes, 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 the .anti-Mormon plank In our plat form haa been so much leas pronounced and emphatic than it la this year that many Republicans who would have voted the Democratic ticket In order to down Mor monism did not do so, as they- were 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 dupport the ticket Just on account ot this plank in tho platform." This same Issue- Is Involved In another plank, which favors the passage ot a law whereby proseouting attorneys may be granted n change of venue In the trial of criminal actions ngnlnst Mormons. Judge Stock slager Is the author of this plank. Together with all hia associates on the supreme bench ho attempted to get such a law pasesd by the last legislature, but tailed. The third chief plank of tho 8tocka!ager platform dealt with tho attitude ot certain Insurance companies which sustained serious loss In the San Francisco dis aster. Becirtiso of their refusal to pay dollar for dollar and their attempt to compromise all clalmt on a basis of 75 cents on the dollar, these companies have come to be known ns "six hit" concerns. Judge Stockslager pro poses that Idaho shall tqke a stand with San Francisco and refuse to permit any "alx bit" Insurance company to continue to do business or to enter the state. The Des Moines Register says that with such a plat form It Is to be seen that Judge Stockslager Is going to wage a campaign that will be both vigorous and pictur esque. The Idaho campaign will be a center of Interest In a year that promises much excitement In several other localities.

Ixuulon has live regularly built opea-alr pulpits from which there Is preaching, and the results havo been so good that other churches are considering the question of having such pulpits built upon the outside ot their edl- flees.
