Winston Churchill, the novelist, la showing some of the elements of the reformer in a more Impressive and uneelflah manner than any of the good people In other states who are out hunting for grafters and oppressors of the people. 1 Just as New York has Its Hearat and Jerome, Mas sachusetts Its Moran, Missouri Its Polk, and so on, so New Hampshire has Its Churchill*und he has been cre ating more of a sensation than any of them, perhaps. One cannot avoid the sneaking Idea when he dis cusses some of the other reformers that they hsve their left eye on the loaves and Ashes. Not but what they would really establish reforms and things would be great deal better than before, but then they seem to think that in order to bring about these reforms they themselves must be placed In office. They have no con fidence In the ability of any one else to do It quite so effectively. , But such Is not the case with young Churchill. He comes out with the announcement that If the other can didates will accept his platform—or rather that of the Lincoln Republicans—he will retire from the race for the governorship. He evidently means It, and this Is a spe cies of unselfishness which the world at large has not yet become accustomed to. tt was only a short Ume ago, comparatively speak ing, that a little group of thirteen young men met In Con cord, N. H., and organised what they called the Lincoln Republican Club. They met but little encouragement The newspapers even refused at first to publish the pro ceedings of their meetings. But this did not fease them for a moment They went right ahead. The agitation waa against the domination of the state by the Boston and Maine railroad, and that corporation was unmerci fully lambasted. It waa tot long before the people be- gnn to alt up and take notice. They came to the conclu. slon that there must be something In that young tel low Churchill betides the ability to write a "one of the beat six sellers," and gradually he drew around him a strong support, which I* making the old Republican ma chine quake In Ita sockota. The platform has already been drafted. It Is strong and ablfe document and one which Is well cal culated to appeal to the people. The old guard are about getting ready to capitulate. So now cornea Churchill with his unselfish nouncement that he will renounce b|s candidacy for the governorship If one of tho other aspirants within the party will accept the platform adopted by the Lincoln- Itea. They are considering the matter and considering It very deeply, too. But the point is that there are very few reformers who are willing to taka this lofty position on any ques tion. Churchill has been making a remarkable campaign. He has even had the asslgtance of Richard Harding Da vis—whatever that may have been worth—and there was certainly a fair chance of his election. But he feels that there would be even a better chance of victory hereafter If the Republicans, placed In power under existing circumstances, failed or refused to carry out their pledges and give the people the relief they need. The election up in Maine, where the Republican majority was smaller than It has been since 1881, has attracted considerable attention, but that In New Hamp shire will be watched with even greater Interest. At any rate .they are not laughing at Winston Churchill and tha Lincoln Republicans any more. The Republican Campaign Book. The Republican campaign textbook has at last been Issued and la ready for circulation among the unen- lightened who have a sincere desire to know what the Republican administration has done and what It hopes to accomplish In the future. Whether Mr. Taft or Mr. Bonaparte expressed the sentiments of the administration—whether it favors a "stand pat" policy or tariff revision—there can be no uncertainty In the terms expressed In the campaign text book. It clearly declares that Mr. Roosevelt and a pro tective tariff are the taauea on which the party Is willing to go before the people. Tariff revisionists. It declares, are practically free traders, snd hence should*be cast Into outer darkness. The legislation adopted under the Roosevelt adminis tration is alluded to a number of times In terms of cor dial congratulation, and deserves an Indorsement. It says, at the hands of the people. The brazenness with which It defends the protection ists is something almost amusing. It acknowledges that manofaclnred products In many Instances are sent •broad and sold In the open market over there more cheaply than they can be bought In this country, but in effect It ssks whose business Is It It these manufactur ing concerns wish to sell their goods at cost or very near it in order to secure a foothold In the raarketa across the teas. * , How many people are In any degree prepared to be lieve that American manufacturers are sailing their com modities In the European markets at cost or anything like cost? They are not actuated by any such charita ble Impulses. They are out for the money and It may be depended upon that when they sell goods In England at less than the American purchaser would have to pay for them they are nevertheless realising a snug profit on the transaction. The facts are so well known that we wonder how j nre here and are more thnn willing to meet here the geniuses who devised this campaign book could J the offer 'of anj other city in the South for the tlrely Ignorant on the subject The trusts are enabled to sell these goods abroad simply because a high protective tariff makes It possible, and Instead of trying to equivocate as usual the party, through Its campaign textbook, boldly puts In a plea of confession and avoidance. We are at least grateful to the compilers of the book for having taken the country so far Into Its confi dence as to let It be known what will be the leading Is sues in the coming campaign. If they make any more such confessions as the one to which we refer—boldly acknowledging Inequalities and seeking to defend them- the Democrats will know how to act in the premises. The tariff issue wonld be hailed with delight A Great Organization and Its Georgia President. The National Farmers' Union of America, 750,- 000 strong, has paid a distinct compliment to Geor gia, and at the samo time given a well merited recognition to one of the ablest and most effec tive members of that great organisation, in the election of Mr. Charles S. Barrett to be president and executive head of the National Union for the ensuing year. Mr. Barrett is a citizen qf Upson county and has been for the past two years president of the Georgia state organization of the Farmers’ Union. It is only the recording of a fact to say that Mr. Barrett’s administration of the affairs of the state association has been so effective, so strong, so productive of fine results, and withal so genial and so agreeable to the great interests which he represents, that his elevation at Texarkana by an absolutely unanimous vote of one of the greatest organizations ever assembled in the interest of ag riculture, is a joint tribute both to his genial and charming personality and to his tireless and effec tive services in the real and practical interests of the organization. The people of Georgia are not aware of the extent and magnitude of this great organization known as the Farmers’ Union. They are a quiet people and an unostentatious people who compose They do not seek notoriety. They do not as pire to live in the white light of publicity, nnd they are far removed from politics and vainglo rious boasting. , But it is by all odds and far and away tha greatest farmers’ organization in this country. It numbers 750,000 farmers in the South and in tho middle and further west. It took into its ranks 20.000 farmers in Illinois in a single day. In the state of Georgia, thanks to the brilliant and effi cient executive work of President Barrett, the as sociation numbers 54,000 Georgia fanners. There are 225,000 members in the state of Texas, and 108.000 members in the state of Arkansas. Thero are 02,000 members in the new state of Oklahoma just admitted to the union. There are 69,000 in our sister state of Alabama. And so, with these splendid figures the people of Georgia can realize that it is an organization of magnificent proportions and of equally magnifi cent possibilities over which this young and able citizen of our own state has been called to pre side. The magnitude of the honor will be felt equally by the state Bnd by the multitude of friends who realize the noble nnd effective work and the splendid qualities of the new president of the National Fanners’ Union. In all Georgia there is no man who joins to liis business capacity, to his sectional loyalty, and to his devotion to the great organization which he represents, a more genial and tireless devotion to his friends and to tho public good than Ch'arlcs Barrett, of Upson, who has just boon elevated to one of the highest and most responsible positions in the republic. Now we come down to a practical question. It within the power of the president and the board of directors of the National Farmers' Union to chooso tho city which, shall bo the headquarters of this association. President Barrett and the board directors are absolutely unselfish about this matter nnd arc anxious to locate tho head of the Union in that place which will be the most central nnd from which its interests esn be most fully ad vocated and maintained. Tho Georgian itself sim ply calls attention to the fact that different sec tions and different cities of this country are com peting eagerly for the honor and advantages of being the head of this association. Texarkana has offered to the union dll its floor spaca that it cares occupy with light and heating for all the of fices which they may require. Dallas, Texas, is now eagerly making a bid along' these lines. Both these states are in tho further west, and The Georgian suggests that the city of Atlanta be not lacking in the same enterprise and public spirit nor permit these generous cities in our sister states carry off the honor and the advantage of being the capital of an organization over which one of our distinguished citizens is the executive head, We are fully confident that when the magni tude of this great body and its importance to our industrial and our social development is thor oughly understood, that Atlanta will not fail to meet in full any offer which is made by other cities for the privilege and the profit of being the headquarters of the National Farmers’ Union with 750,1100 Southern agriculturists behind it. We sug gest that the Chamber of Commerce and the City Council take this matter under consideration, and we confidently believe that when the magnitude and the Importance of this great interest is un derstood, that these bodies with the full and en- thusihstic co-operation of the citizens of Atlanta, —ill he able within n short time to say to Presi- nt Barrett and to the executive committee, “we this great organization. The Georgian may be used to an unlimited ex tent to bring about this greatly to be desired re sult both in our columns and in the services of our staff which may be enlisted in the effort that looks toward tho planting of the central office of this great organization in the metropolis of Georgia and the real capital of Dixie. The Cuban Revolution. The situation In Cuba appears to be growing more and more acute every day and there Is no one who can predict what the end will be. Marines hare been landed from the Denver and the Marietta, and It necessary the enUre Island Will be sur rounded by a cordon of American war vessels. ' Those who claim to be on the inside and to have special Infor mation tell us that the outside world does not fully ap preciate the gravity of tho situation. This, It Is said, 1s not merely tho uprising of a few political discontents, but haB Its roots deep down In tho hearts of the people, who feel that they have Just grievances which have been Ignored by tho government. No relief Is expected by those who are most familiar with the situation until the United States takes a firm hand In the matter. The large sugar planters and Americans having other Interests on the Island have long slnco adopted a policy of arming their retainers nnd keeping them on guard around their plantations for protection against both revolutionists and govern' tnent troops. Tho end of It all, It seems, will be the establishment of at least a protectorate over the island by the United State*. It cannot be said ihat this country has not kept ab solute faith with the Cuban poopfe as a whole. We re deemed our promise to turn the Island over to them for self-government as soon as they were even apparently capable of self-government They have had every chance to conduct their own affairs without Interfer ence of any kind from this country. But tho Indications are that the time Is rapidly ap proaching when we must take a hand, and the* tew marines which have been landed on the Island may be Increased at any time to an army of occupation. Tho moral affect on the world, It the Cuban republic should fall, would be very disastrous. It would give color to the c6ntentlon of many of the older governments that the Latin races of the new world are constitution ally incapable of self-government, and that Cuba is simply in .tbs same category with the states of South America, where revolution Is the normal condition. The developments of the Immediate future will be watched with something more than passing Interest grnpher on his newspaper to Mr. James B. Nevln, of The Rome Tribune. This |3 h worthy and timely compliment to one of the best and most brilliant writers of the Georgia press. There are few men in Georgia Journalism who have more Individuality of thought Joined to more vivid and picturesque ex pression than James B. Nevln. Time and again his pungent paragraphs have shot to the core of public questions In Georgia, and his wit Is as keen as his satire and as bright as his own genial and generous spirit It is understood that Mr.' Nevln, on account of his other business Interests In Rome, v/lU not be able tff accept the offer of The Washington Herald, but' The Georgian, which knows him and heartily ad mires him.

Bone, late of The Washington Post, Is Just about to launch a new dally paper In Washington to be called The Herald, and the fact that Mr. Bone Is at the head of It guarantees that The Herald will be a paper worth reading. One of the best evidences of the good judgment which Mr. Bone hat always dis played In his newspaper ventures is In the fact that he has offered tho position of editorial para- The Death of Henry M. Neill. The death of Henry M. Neill, of New Orleans, re moves one of the most striking figures from the world of cotton. He was In fila 78th year, and while the accident bo sustained in being struck by a street car was not for a time regarded as particularly serious, tbe shock to his aged frame was such that It was impossible for him to recover. Sir. Neill was an Englishman, and came to ,thls country Immediately after the civil war. He establish ed the firm of Henry M. Neill & Co., In. New Orleans, with a branch house In London In charge of his elder brother. * During the latter sixties he was one of the largest cotton buyers in the South, and in 1871 he was one of the founders of the New Orlenns cotton exchange. . Early In his business career he conceived the Idea of gathering data on which to estimate the growing cot ton crop and for a long time he enjoyed a prestige which no Individual In the South has ever approximated. It was no uncommon thing tor the market to fluctuate 50 points one way or the other on the announcement of his estimates. There came a time when be was the storm center of a rather bitter controversy. Unfortunately'his lean ings always seemed to be on the bull side of the market, and It was but natural that this should awaken the re sentment and criticism of a very considerable element In the South. It was even whispered at times that he was retained In the Interests of the English spinners. He lived to overcome all these sinister suggestions, but In more recent years be seemed not to have the clear prevision or the accuracy of forecast which had once made his name something to conjure with. That he was honest in his convictions Is freely conceded to day, and It Is recalled that on more than one occasion he sent out estimates of a bullish character which took the world by surprise and yet were subsequently ful filled. But something of tho old charm and prestige had pasted away, and added to his declining years, he has not been so conspicuous a figure as he once was. When the record Is written no man will bo more Intimately associated with the 'post-bellum development of the cotton trade ot the South than Henry M. Ne111, and the tragedy ot which he was the victim lends ad ditional pathos to hi* death. Nooks and Corners of American History JACOB LEISLER Br REV. THOMAS B.

Sept. 14.—While It Is not claimed by the friends of Miss Blanche Leroy Shoemaker, daugther of the rich New York banker, that she would refuse to marry a man simply because he had a title. It has been demonstrated that a great title cuta very little fig ur . In her life by the fact that she refuses to have anything to do with Due De Cholseul-Praslln, who has Just followed her to the United States, determined to marry her. “ Those who know Miss Shoemaker are sure she will not marry the duke The duke's family Is one of the oldest in France. Its one great scandal oc- curred, when In the reign of Loot. Philippe, the then Due De Praslln b<at out the brains of his wife In a 'lit nf Jculousy.

Finally the tug drove hint back to the pier, where a noose was dropped over his head and a notched plank lowered by which he was nblc to walk up to the pier.
