Many of those ‘‘gratifying conditions" Which are cabled from Manila turn out to be mere theories. Jones of Toledo protests too much. The country has not yet been kept awake of nights by delegations with brass bands trying to chase him into the gubernatorial runways. Havana newspapers sometimes print queer "news." One of them the other day had an item saying the late Mr. Plant had left Gen. Fitzhugh Lee a comfortable for tune by his will. No one can blame the germs in telephone transmitters for being tough and wicked creatures, in view of some of the breaths they have to inhale and some of the con versations they must perforce overhear. One cannot correctly forecast the possi ble penalties of greatness. Mr. Bryan him self probably never dreamed that he would be called upon to direct a carload of wa termelons into a channel where they would fetch good prices. It has been decided by Judge Traux, of the Supreme Court of New York, that it is unlawful for the members of a trade or ganization to prevent those outside the pale of such organization from procuring and retaining employment. Friends of popular education in New Y'ork are advocating the propriety of naming the schools of the city for Ameri can soldiers, sailors, authors and states men. The custom has been iong in prac tice in Philadelphia. In Savannah we have the schools named after the county, streets, .churches and persons. The Birmingham newspapers are fairly confident that a government armor plate plant will he authorized by the next Con gress, and they are moving to secure the plant for Birmingham. Should the plant Vie ordered we would he pleased to see the enterprising Alabama city secure it. We have no doubt that armor plate of the best quality could be made in Alabama more cheaply than in any other iron district of the country. The Englishmen—or ii Sir Thomas I.ipion would prefer it, the Irishmen—have un doubtedly got a fine and fast yacht In ihe Shamrock, and one that will probably keep the sporting public guessing untit the in ternal ional race shall have been conclud ed. Bui ii pusses understanding why Sir Thomas should persist in hedging his yacht about w;!h so much secrecy, ll is now al together too late for the Americans lo pro fit by any knowledge of the Shamrock's lines and sails which might come to them. Our naval monitors are notoriously un onifortah.e vessels. They have only about two feet of freeboard, hence when they go to sea their decks are constantly swept by water, and all hatches must be bat tened down and made secure. Even the ventilators must be closed, to keep the water out. The only opening to the out side oir is through the turrets. Asa consequence, they ai" veritable roasting boxes. Last summer Ihe men on -the monitors doing blockade duty off Cuba 'Uffeted horribly from heat, and during the present summer the crews of the monitors at Manila are going through the same sort of thing. There Isn't much chance for improving the vessels by means of ventilation, but H Is said that liquid air bold, out the promise making the craft more habitual*. if (; can i )e manufac tured aaoard, the temperature of the liv ing quarters may he reduced and the at mosphere freshened with the liquid air. THE TARIFF WALL >ll ST COMB now N. In the course of an interview with the newspaper reporters on his return from Europe last Saturday Senator I.)epew said: “The competition of our products in European markets proves that the time is coming when a great many protected articles must be put on the frte list. If they cun l* sold cheaper and better than foreign manufactures, our tariff wall must be gradually taken down to meet the changed conditions.” That was a remarkable admission for Senator Depew to make. He is one of the Republicans who always contended for the protective principle. He is beginning to see, however, what lead ers have asserted to be a fact for many years, namely, that the tariff is used by certain of our manufacturers to compel domestic consumers of their products to pay more for them than the same articles are sold for in foreign markets. For in stance, Mr. Carlisle pointed out years ago in his speeches in the Senate, that agri cultural implements and machinery' of American manufacture were sold in South America and other foreign markets at lower prices than those for which farmers, living within a few’ miles of the factories in which they were made, could get them. It is a fact that we are selling to Eu ropeans many articles on which there is a high protective duty, thus showing that we can beat the rest of the world in man ufacturing them, and that the manufac turers of them have no need of a protect ive tariff. Why is it then that they con tinue to insist on having a protective tar iff? The reason is that they can combine and make the home consumer pay higher prices for their products. There is no doubt that a demand for tar iff reform will be one of the issues of the national campaign next year. Evidently Senator Depew thmks it will, or he wouldn’t have said what he did relative to the time coming soon when our tariff wall would be crumbling. He heard enough while in Europe about tlie successful com petition of our manufacturers with those of England and other European countries to convince him that our ad vancement in manufacturing has been so great that wo have nothing to fear from the manufacturers of any other country. The chief reason of our superiority in manufacturing is that our workmen are better. They are more; skillful, and can turn out a great deal more work in a day*. They get about 26 per cent, higher wages than the workmen of England, hut they turn out 33Vs per cent more product, which is of a better quality than the product of English skilled labor. With such an ad vantage there is no need for protection In this country. The work of taking down the protective tar.ff wall ought to be be gun as soon as xx>ssible. THE IH Ll. STREET PAVKMRXT The city authorities ought not to hesi tate about the kind of pavement they will use on the north end of BuU street. There i9 only a small part of the street to be paved, and the wiser plan would be to have the pavement of that part of the street south of New Houston street uni form. It would be a mistake, it seems to us, to pave a couple of squares with eith er brick or asphalt. If we understand the situation correctly there is no fault to he fount! with that part of the gravel pavement which is com posed wholly of Augusta gravel. Complaint is made of that part on*which gravel from Liberty county was laid. If there is no fault found with the Augusta gravel the proposition of the Augusta Gravel Com pany should be accepted by all means. The proposition is an extremely liberal one, al though it is practically a business one. If it should be accepted the entire street from New Houston street to the govern ment hospital would have an extra coat ing of gravel furnished free at the pits by the gravel company. Such an ad dition ought to be sufficient to keep the street in first class condition for several yea-s. In order to insure the permanency of the pavement it is probable that the street, instead of having shallow brick gutters at the sides, should have pretty deep drains. The drains would permit the water which soaks into the road bed during heavy rains to pass off quickly. A water soaked road of gravel yields easily' to heavy traffic. The reason probably why the county roads have stood the traffic on them so well is that they have ditches of con siderable depth on either side of them, so that the road bed becomes dry very quick ly after a heavy' rain. On Bull street the surface water runs off promptly, but that which soaks into the gravel, and into the soil beneath stays there untif it gradually dries out or is absorbed by the surrounding soil. With proper care in putting down Augusta gravel it is pretty certain that it would make an admirable paving material for this, city. In a recent bulletin of the Department of Agricuture, Prof. Haecker states that the farmers of tne cotton licit are undergoing an experience which comet? sooner or later to every section of our country. Wheat was grown almost exclusively in the North until the soil refused to respond. No one seemed to know why, but when the wheal failed the farmers began to depend upon live stock. As the live stock in creased, the land brought better crops, end it gradually dawned upon them that the failure of crops was due to lack of fertil ity. and that by diversified farming they could restore it and secure as good if not better returns than they had received from the virgin soil. In the same way the roll of the cotton belt has been Impoverished by constant cropping and inadequate fer tilizing. It is not in the cotton nor in the oil extracted from the seeds that the fer tility is lost, but it is in the parting with the cotton seed cake or meal that the loss occurs. If the cake and meal be fed to dairy cows all the fertility will remain on the plantation. Tne professor’s advice to cotton growers is. therefore: “Go into dairying with the dairy cow.'' There will be a session of Congress be fore the next national platforms are made by the great parties. The Republicans will have a clear working majority in that session. If tlie Republicans are in earn est in their anti-trust protestations, they need not wait until the time of their con vention to inaugurate an anti-trust cru sade; they can start the bull a-roiling in Congress. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. JULY 11. 1803. THE ALE OF FALSEHOOD ( Is this the age of falsehood? Bishop Morrison of th* j Southern M hodi-t Church, in a sermon delivered in Atlanta on Sunday, said it was. He declared tha: thousands of men would not tell the trutn unless they could make money by doing so. Among the statement he made v. is the following: “Lies are put up in pa k agf-s. sent out in barrels, and hung up on hooks.” And there is some reason for thinking that what he said true. It is a noto rious fact that the adulteration of articles of food is carried on to such an extent that a very large percentage of everything that is eaten is impure. A few days ago we published an article showing the extent of the adulteration of flour. The statements made by persons in positions to speak au thoritatively were startling. And what is true of flour is true of many other ar ticles. Bishop Morrison said that the lives of persons, in his opinion, were materially shortened by* the consumption of adult r ated articles of food. There is no doubt that the opinion is a correct one. Why is it then that the laws against tne aduter alion of articles of food are not made more stringent, and why is it that such laws, already in existence, are not en forced? These are questions in which ev ery human being is interested. Wo have laws to punish those who are guilty of fraud and ihos who commit murder. But are not those who adulterate articles of food and sell them for what they are not practically guilty f fraud and of murder? They represent an impure article as pure, and sell it at the price asked for a pure article, and the adulterated articles they* , sell shorten the lives of those who con sume them. Those who put the adulterated articles on the market as pure articles deceive the public and therefore are guilty of false hood. They not only defraud and kill people, hut they are guilty, in their greed for money, of lying on a most stupendous scale. As the Bishop said, lies are put up in packages and sent out in barrels. Must not the condition of society which permits such a state of affairs be very bad? Yet those w ho make money by adulterat ing articles of food, by' defrauding and killing people, are regarded as among the best citizens. Asa rule they have riches, and riches cover a multitude of sins in the estimation of the public. It is time that the Jaw took hold, with a strongh hand, of those who adulterate foods, and it will, it public sentiment become aroused on this subject of food adulteration. The pulpit and the press ought to join hands and wage a relentless war on those who pros per by fraud and send misery and death into every home. THE Al TOMOBILE BUSINESS. The growth of American interest in the automobile carriage, which may be said to have begun less than a year ago, has not been short of marvelous, and the in terest continue? to become greater day by day. We began to develop the automo bile three or four years behind France, but according io Mr. Thomas A. Edison we are now making )*“tter machine* than France and in the next six months we shall be a long way ahead of the rest of the world. Since last winter, or say, within six months, there have been corporations formed for manufacturing or using auto mobiles the aggregate capital stock of which is estimated to be more than $250.- 000,000, and during the past few weeks new corporations have been chartered at the rate of four iier week. Meanwhile the patent office in Washington is flooded with new inventions calculated to cheapen the cost of the carriages or their motive ]K>wer, or otherwise increase their popu larity. There are said to be at the time not less than seventy manufacturing con cerns in the United States engaged in building automobiles. Many of the bi cycle, sewing machine and carriage man ufactories have established departments in which automobiles are being manufac tured. It is estimated that in actual cash value, not less than $50,000,000 is at present devoted to the production of horseless ve hicles. This does not include, of course, corporations the purpose of which is to operate or sell the vehicles, but merely those concerns which ore at present or will shortly bo engaged in building them. With so much money represented in the business, it is surb that the general intro duction of the automobiles will be pushed vigorously. It is a matter of much interest to know that Mr. Edison, <he wizard of invention, has recently’ perfected anew automobile which lie says wi.l considerably cheapen the price of the carriages. His vehicle, he says, is light, compact, simple and safe, and so easily managed -that a child can run ir. ‘.‘lt is as safe as a church,” says Mr. Edison, to which he adds that “keep” w’iil cost less than one-fifth that of a horse, while the price will be no more than S3OO or $400; about what a fair ly good pair of horses and buggy now cost. During the course of his interview Mr. Edison made this rather startling pre diction: “From present indications 90 per cent, of the horses now in use (in the cities) will be replaced by this late inven tion (the automobile) in the next year and a half.” Dr. Chauncey M. Dopew, who returned front Europe the other day, does not think the new French Cabinet will last long. To appreciate W a ldeek-Rousseau’s ef fort. he says, “we must suppose that our own institutions were in peril, and that as a supreme effort President McKinley had made up his cabinet thus: Secretory of State—Thornes B. Reed. Secretary of the Treasury—William J. Bryan. Secretary of War—'Theodore Roosevelt. Secretary of the Navy—Edward Atkin son. Secretary of Agriculture—Jerry Simpson. Secretary of the Interior—Gov. Pingree. Attorney General—Simon Buckner. It is not risking anything to say that such a cabinet w’ould not hold together much beyond the passing of the national crisis. New' England cotton mills are once more paying their owners. The Wool and Cot ton Reporter gives a list of eighteen of the largest of those mills, all of which have lately paid dvi.lends. One year ago one-third of the number of these mills passed their dividends, while the others t hr> nni/l umciller dividends than now. ! The* remove! of M.

Ct HR ENT COMMENT. The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dcm.) thinks these are not good days for trust makers. It enumerates a list of thirty eight proposed consolidations, many of which have lately been abandoned or are likely to fall through, and says: “The chances are that nearly all these schemes will have to be abandoned. The bad suc cess of ihe oldest and most skillfully or ganized of all the combinations, in keep ing up the price of their securities have made the market for new securities an exceedingly hazardous undertaking. The promoters can no longer raise enough cash to induce manufacturers to give up con trol of their plants, and only in rare cases are they willing to accept shares. The ex perience of the month of June indicates that the trust movement is about to be launched on a toboggan.” The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.) says: “It is reported that the Czar of Russia is very much disappointed nt. the evident fail ure of the peace conference, and that, as a result, the position of Count Mouravieff, his foreign minister, has been much shak en. Disarmament has proven entirely unac ceptable to all of the Powers, and arbitra tion has been about the only subject upon which there has developed a remote pros pect o fagreement. It is now evident that pect of agreement. It is now' evident that promising, and that at best but negative results are to be looked for. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal (Dem.) which is favorably disposed towards ex pansion, says: “It is well enough to theo rize and strive after ideals, but the reali ties and practical affairs must not be neglected. While other nations are arm ing we must arm. While other nations are seeking terriiorial and commercial ad vantages we must do likewise. The peace conference admonishes us. by its failure, that human nature is as it used to be, and that the struggle is still on.” The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser (Dem.) says: Some of our contempora ries are advocating Bryan and Morgan as the next national ticket, but that would be as incongruous as was Bryan and Sew ell. Bryan is dead against expansion, while Morgan wants everything in sight. It would be interesting to hear them from am*> Ktltmn.” Took Senator Clark at Hi* Word. In the tierce rivalry for the I'nited States senatorship in Mon tana. between the Clark and Marcus Da.'y faction?, many amusing stori ?. true and false, were ioid by heated |)artisans ?avs the Philadelphia Evening Post. The point in most cases consisted by the contrast afforded by the early careers of the two men. Marcus Daly rose from a poor miner to be one of the copixr kings of the West, while Clark began his .western career as a col lege-bred man. The speeches and letters of the latter were models or good English, but on one occasion his fastidousness in expression worked unexpected results. He had laid out a handsome lawn in front of his house, and to prevent the towns people from walking on the grass he built a board walk over it and put up the fol lowing sign: •TAKE THE BOARDWALK." This sign instantly caught the public eye, and next morning the sign and board walk had both vanished, and in place of the former was i rudely lettered placard bearing this inscription: "WE HAVE.” Hon* Paris Cabmen Fight, Guy Duval, recently returned from Paris, tells the following story, according to the New York Tribune, as an illustration of the irresponsibility of the average French man: "1 was riding one afternoon in the Bols de Boulogne.” he said, "when I no ticed a tremendous disturbance Just ahead of my carriage. Two thoroughly angry tourists were standing in the street, rub. blng their heads, and swearing with an ease and force which convinced me at once that they were Americans. Two empty cabs, which had evidently been oc cupied by the tourists, were standing near by, and the drivers were hurling in distinguishable Jargon at each other, to the delectation of a crowd of on.ookers. My driver immediately stopped to Join in the excitement. With some difficulty I per suaded him to proceed, ami when we were out of sound of the unroar, I asked him what the trouble was. ‘Why, Monsieur,' he said, ‘Jaspard ran into Pierre’s cab and scraped some of the paint from the wheel. Pierre was nat urally very angry and swore at Jaspard, whereupon Jaspard said: "If you don't shut up I’ll hit your customer on the head with my whip!” and and Pierre retorted: ''it you hit my customer I’ll hit your cus tomer! Then Jaspard struck Pierre's cus tomer and Pierre resented the insult by hitting Jaspard's customer. That man Jaspard is always getting into fights.' ” Lends Without Yrgnment. There was a finest ion of importance be fore the local lodge of a leading fraternal order, says the Detroit Free Press, The membership is large and the attendance comprised about all those whose names ap pear on the roster. A statesman, a min ister, a lawyer and a leading business man s|x>ke in favor of the proposed men ure. They were eloquent, impressive ;ml logical, the audience approving with rounds of applause. A vote when they were through would have assured a sweep ing triumph for their cause and they con gratulated themselves. But a little man rose up in the back part of the hall. He had done more than any other man living to strengthen the order and promote its best objects. lie had helped the poor, waited on the sick and cheered the despondent. The hundreds as sembled had faith in him and after half a dozen sentences from him in opposition to the measure, it was rejected by an over whelming majority. The defeated orators were noisily indignant and insisted that neither reason nor judgment had been ex ercised by the crowd. “I’ll tell you how it is,” snapped the statesman, after adjournment, “You take a blackboard and set it up on the platform there. To make sure that it is black, give it a couple of extra black coats and then paint a white border around it to empha size the black. A dozen of the ablest speakers you can find may get up and tell that the board is black, why it is black and how it was made black. Then that same little man may take the floor for a minute and simply say: 'Boys’ that board is white and the border is black,' and 93 per cent, of the membership will swear he is right.” And it's not far from the truth. The Cry of the Little Peoples. Richard LeGallienhe In London Chronicle. I. The Cry of the Little Peoples went up lo God in vain: The Czech, and the Pole, and the Firm,and the Schleswig Dane. We ask but a little portion of the green and ancient earth: Only to sow and sing and reap in the land of our birth. I We ask not coaling stations, nor ports in the China seas, We leave to the big child-nations such rivalries as these. We have learned the lesson of lime, and we know three things of worth: Only to sow and sing and reap in the land of our birth. 11. ■ O leave us our little margins, waste ends of land and sea, A little grass and a hill or two, and a shadowing- tree; O leave us our little rivers that sweetly catch the sky, To drive our mills, and to carry our wood, and to ripple by. One Tong ago, like you, with hollow pur suit of fame. We tilled all the shaking world with the sound of our name; But now we are glad to rest, our battles and boasting done. Glad just to sow and sing and reap in our share of the sun. in. And what shall you gain if you take us and bind us and boat us with thongs, And drive us to sing underground in a whisper our sad little songs? Forbid us the very use of our heart's own nursery tongue— Is this to be strong, you nations, is this to be strong? Your vulgar battles to fight. and your shopman conquests to keep, For this-shall we break our hearts, for this shall our old men weep? What gain tn the day of battle—to the Russ, to the German, what gain. The Czech, and the Pole, and the Finn, and the Schleswig Dane? rv. The Cry of the Little Peoples goes up to God in vain, For the world is given over to the cruel sons of Cain; The hand that would bless us Is weak, and the hand that would break us is strong, And the power of pity is naught but the power of song. The dreams that our fathers dreamed to day are laughter and dust, And nothing at all in the world Is left for a man to trust. Let us hope no more, or dream, or proph esy, or pray. For the Iron world no less will crash on Its iron way; And nothing is left but to watch, with a helpless, pitying eye, The kind old aims for the world, and the Wind old fashions die.
