The Indications for Georgia to-day arc for fair weather in southern, and rain in northern portion, with brisk northerly, Bhifting to easterly winds, and for East ern Florida, fair weather, with fresh to couth wine’s. Some of the best ''pure, old Holland gin 4 ’ that is now sold in this country, it Is said, is made of corn. Those old cannon brought up the other day by the dredge Babcock from the be 1 of the river might make interesting orna ments for one of the squares. Speaker Henderson's letter writing eeems to draw attention to nothing so much as the fact that Thomas B. Reed of Maine was his predecessor in office. To judge from the results of the munic ipal elections in Michigan on Monday, the people of that part of our territory are fast getting into a condition for self-gov ernment. It is against the law in Boston to sell cigars or cigarettes on Sunday, but it Is not against the law to sell matches and give away cigars. The shopkeei>ers are therefore selling matches at 5 cents each and making a present of a cigar or a pack age of cigarettes with each match -pur chased. Last month the New Orleans mint mide anew record by coining two. million standard silver dollars. Large quantities of sliver dollars ere being held at Now Orleans for shipment to Cuba, the au thorities believing that the people of the Island will want American dollars before a great while. Notwithstanding the growing popularity of the automobile in England, it does not appear that there has been any diminu tion of the popularity of the American horse in that country. Last year there were more than 11.000 horses shipped from the port of New York alone to the cities of London and Liverpool, where they were to be used In drawing 'busses and trucks. “Why, even the News and Courier and Col. Hemphill have been converted to Bryan, and the News and Courier is loy ally supporting the Democratic ticket." Thus Is Senator Tillman quoted in our Washington dispatches. Then arc two minor Inaccuracies in the'statement.First, it is "Maj.” and not "Col." Hemphill, and second," there Is no Democratic ticket at present for the Major and his excellent pater to support. We hive no doubt, how ever, that they will support the ticket when it shall have been made. Still, it is Interesting to hear that the News and Courier "has been converted to Bryan." Jt would lie still more Interesting to hear Utt it had been converted to Tillman. THE GRAND JI HY HEARD FROM. The action taken yesterday by the United States grand jury in the Greene- Gaynor cose, is not at all surprising. The effort, thus far unsuccessful, running through three months and more, to bring the defendants from New York to answer before the United States Court here, the indictment found against th- m, amounts to a national scandal. It is not to be won dered at, therefore, that the grand jury asks Congress to enact a law by which persons indicted In one state can be taken from another state, under proper legal process, to (he court in which the indict ment was found without unnecessary de lay. This question, as pointed out by Judge Speer, has nothing to do wilh the guilt or innocence of the accused parties. It has only to do with the proper administra tion of justice. In this Grcene-Gaynor ease, a United States commissioner de layed for two months deciding whether (he accused persons were the ones de scribed in the indictment against them, and now a United States district judge bos had the matter before him for six weeks, and has not yet come to a deris ion whether he will order them sent to tills city or set free. The grand jury, in its presentments, calls attention to the fact that, since Greene and Gaynor were arrested in New York, for the purpose of bringing them here to answer the indict ment pending against them, an alleged embezzler was Indicted in a state court and brought back from Morocco, whither he bad fled. And it seems that persons in dict, *1 in the United Stntis Court in this state cannot be brought back from New York In three ani a half months! Surely there must tie something wrong wilh (he judicial machinery of the United States. Clearly the recommendation of the grand jury to Congress, for legislation that will prevent such delays, is timely. This action of the grand jury will call the attention of the whole country to this Greene-Gaynor case. There are members of Congress who are anxious to get a chance to have something to say in re spect to it. They think there is need for in vestigation in addition to that which was had before the Carter courtmnrtial. They have held off, however, because of this case against Greene and Gaynor. But the extraordinary delay in getting the accused parties before the court here may cause them to think that their inquiry should take a wider range than at first contem plated. If politics is interfering with the administration of justice the country ought to know it. Asa matter of fact, there ought not to have been more than a week's delay from the time the warrants were served on the accused parties in New York and their arrival here. If there is a reasonable ex planation of the extraordinary delay in requiring them to obey the writs which have been served upon them—a delay amounting to three months and a half and still continuing—the country would like to know it. THE BATTLESHIP KE UtSAHGE. The navy department is congratulating itself on the result of the test cf the new system of mounting (he main batteries of battleships. The batteries arc located in superposed turrets. The Kearsarge is the only battleship In the world that has this system. One of the double-deckel turrets Is located in the forepart and the other in the aft part of the ship. In the upper turret there are two 8-inch gunsond in the lower two 13-inch guns. Thq advantag es of this system are greater concentration of the ehiji's "battle energy" and an "in crease in its gun fire intensity.” AI! of the officers who were present at the test—that is the operating of the tur rets and the firing of the guns—made en thusiastic reports in favor of the newsy - tern. The system originated in this coun try and is wholly American. That it greatly increases the effeci Iveness of a battleship there does not seem to be any doubt in the minds of Admiral Sampson and other naval officers. Indeed Admiral Sampson is of the opin ion that there Is no warship in the world that Is the equal of the Kearsarge. As suming that he is correct it !s probable that other battleships that are now being constructed for our navy will have double decked turrets like those of (he Kearsarge, and that other nations, in building battle ships, will begin to follow the United States. The test that was given the Kearsarge's turrets was not a complete one because some of the .electrical machinery for handling the tur rets was not in working order. F, r instance, all of the four guns of the tur rets were not fired at one and the same lime. The opinion was 'expressed by the officers, however, that all of the guns could be fired at once without injury to the ship. Still, until this test Is made the order that the new battleships shall be provided with the superposed turret syel.m will probably be withheld. The theory has been advanced that a shot striking one of the turrets might put an entire battery out of use. This theory is well worth considering. It Is claimed, however, the turret would hive (o be hit In a certain way to disable the en tire battery. Beskles. it Is said that the double turret Is In no more danger of b - ing rendered useless than a single turret. It would seem as If the machinery fo controlling the double-decked turret would lie much more complicated and delicate than that for hondling the slngl ■ turret and therefore would be much more likely to get out of order during an engagement. Naval officers, however, have answers for all of the objections which have been rais ed, and are so enthusiastic in support of the new system that it is probable that the superposed turrets will be a feature of battleships which we build In future. Many of the Spanish officers and eodler< who ire leaving Manila for Spain are said to be experiencing considerable trouble with their Filipino wives. They do nor wish to carry the women to Spain wiiti them. In many instances, Indeed, It is said the Spaniards have wives of their own race at home, and the appearance of ad ditional dark-skinned stiouses would be apt to cause trouble. Recently several Spanish officers have tried (o make their Flllpln > wives charges upon the public by alegin; them to Ik- insane. The American g v, ro ment has notified the Spaniards who ur' leaving that they must take tueir Flllp.no wit ■ s with them. THE MOFJMJSG KEWS: WEDNESDAY, 1 APRIL 4, 1900. THE EARLY STATE ELECTIONS. State elections will be held in eight states in advance of the general elec tion in November. These states are Al-‘ abama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Vermont. There is probably not a great deal of doubt about how any state in (he list will go In its election. Any novice can separate the Democratic from the Republican states. It is true that North Carolina is at present under a Populist-Republican government, tfut it is normally a Democratic state, and there are reasons for thinking It will return to its ancient allegiance at the next elec tion. At the same time, the pluralities by which the winning parties will carry the states will be watched with close inter est, since they will indicate the drift of public opinion on questions of the day. These expressions, however, will be lim ited to the North and the South. There is no Western state in the list of thoee to hold elections before November. Rhode Island will lead off with her elec tion to-day. The state will go Republi can, of course. In the election of last year—for “Little Rhody” clings to the old fashion of electing a Governor every year—the Republican majority was 9,706 in a total vote of 13.130. It is believed thai the lotal vote will be somewhat larg er this year, so that an average Republi can majority ought io be in the neighbor hood of 10.000. Should it fall Vk>w that figure, it would indicate Democratic gains. Louisiana will follow Rhode Island, holding her election April 17. Special in terest is centered in this election because the Legislature which will be chosen wall select the successor to Senator Caffery. There is no regular Republican ticket in the field, but there Is an Independent ticket backed by disgruntled Democrats, Populists and Republicans. In the Inst election Gov. Foster received a plurality of 55,183 in a total vote of 101,016. It Is expected thot the majority in the ap proaching election will be cut down from Ihe foregoing figures, through the efforts of Senator Caffery, who is opposing the regular Democratic ticket; but there i little If any doubt that the regular De mocracy will be triumphant by a safe ma jority. In North Carolina, whose election will occur Aug. 2, there will be elected a Gov ernor and other state house officers, and the people will vole on the constitutional amendment passed by the Legislature and designed to. virtually eliminate the black race from state politics. In the proposed amendment there are qualifi cations which will disfranchise a large majority of the blacks, and a "grand father clause" which will except the whites from Ihe operations of the law. It is practically a copy of the Louisiana elective franchise law, the constitution ality of which has been questioned. In the last election the fusionists carj-’ied the state by a plurality of 17,938 in a total vote of 336,960. Since the Wilmington riots, however, the tvhite people have got ten more closely together than for sev eral years, and a good Democratic vic tory is confidently expected. Alabama is an August state. The elec tion will be held on the first Monday in that month. It will go safely Democratic, of course. The chief point of interest in the election is whether or not Gov. John ston will succeed in having himself elected (o the Senate as the successor to the Hon, John TANARUS, Morgan. Maine and Vermont will go to the polls in September. It is unnecessary to say how they will go, or to speculate upon the result that will be reached In Georgia, when she holds her election on Oct. 3. SELECTING THE RIGHT AI IN. Success in about every undertaking de pends upon those chosen to fill the respon sible positions. The failures in most un dertakings are due to the incapacity of those chosen to manage thorn. Doubtless the whole country has noticed that Americans who visit Havana—sena tors and repr sentatives as well as pri vate citizens—agree that Gen. Wood is doing wonders as governor general of Cuba. He is the right man for the place. His predecessor was a good man for some things, but not for governor general. The President made a mi3.ake when he appointed the first governor general, and It is probable that he thought at the time of the appointment that he was making a mistake. If Gen. Wood had been ap pointed at the start Cuba would be much nearer ready for independence than she is. Gen. Wood was an admirable adminis trative officer at Santiago. The reputation he made there secured for him the posi tion he now occupies. He has tact and judgment, and he knows the thing that ought to be done to bring about the best result*. AVe have no doubt that the Cubans are anxious to have a government of their cwn and are particularly desircus that it shall be successful. It is a question wheth er they have the experience to govern themselves. Und. übtedl.v they have con fidence in their ability to do so. Unlbss the very best judgment were exercised, however, the island would be In the clutches of civil war within a few months after an independent government had been established unless the ship of state had a strong and wise hand on the helm. The Cubans could not do a wiser thing than to elect Gen. Wood the r first Presi dent. He could do more than any other man, perhaps, to establish the n<w repub lic on a firm foundation. It Is cer.a’n that he would do his utmost to make it a suc cess. It is doubtful, however, If the Cu bans could be induced to do anything so sensible as to make him their President. In the first place they would think that by electing an American they would admit that they had no man among themselves sufficiently aide to till the office of Presi ditit. In the second place they would be afiald that an American might not be true, to the interests of Cuba. While, there fore, the election of Gen. Wood would, in all probability, lie the best thing that could happen for Cuba, there Is very little if any probability of Ills being asked to accept that position. In two transports that are now on their way from Manila to San Francisco there are thirty-! lx Insane soldiers. If is said that Insanity Is on the increase umong the As the fate of the world wa* once bal anced on Cleopatra’s nose, so Is the fate of a Chicago lawsuit balanced upon the nose of Admiral Dewey. The point at is sue Is not the point of the Admiral s nose, but whether there Is or not a wart on the side of that organ. The Admiral is going tc* visit Chicago shortly. Wishing: to do the distinguished pallor full honors, a Chi cago firm sen? to New York and ordered some thousands of Dewey badges. Wheth er the New York make s were true to na ture, or whether they worked off some old stock likenesses of med icine tasters and others on the Chicagoans, the fact is that the pictures on the badges show a decided and proturberant wart on the nose. The Chi cago firm refused payment for the badges because of the wart, and the New York ers brought suit. It is intimated that the Admira? may be summoned to attend court as a witness, in order that the court and jury may see for themselves whether' he has a wart on his nose. Senator Pettus’ humorous speech in the Senate the other day has raised a point which is being discussed by some learn ed genetlemcnwhoare more interested in the antiquities than they are in either the Porto Rico question or whether Sheldon made a success of his newspaper. Sena tor Pettus referred to the fact that Aaron was chosen to do the talking for Moses, who was not a man of words before the people. Now the question is. was Moses a stammerer? The New Testament says he was educated in all of the wisdom of the Egyptians and was mighty in words and deeds. But it has been alleged that he had some sort of impediment in the speech; that he stuttered, or stammered, and therefore was somewhat averse to making an address to a crowd. On the other hand, there is no positive evidence that Moses was not as eloquent las Demos thenes or any other famous orator. It is the lack of conclusive information either way, of course, is what makes it a debata ble question. The Republican party es the perty in power in this country, is face to face with a terrible responsibility; and Boston is ag itated to know what that party is going to do about it. The trouble is this: The Republicans have passed a tariff law which places a tax of 50 per cent, or more on works of art—pictures, statuary, etc. Now. Mrs. "Jack” Gardner of 80-ton owns some tons of statuary and square miles of pictures in Europe, and they aie all Art, with a capital A. She desires to bring all of this Art to Boston, where she proposes to build a marble palace to house it in. But she refuses to pay the 50 per cent, duty which the Republican party says her Art must pay, and says if the tariff is not changed at once so that her statuary ani pictures may come in free, she will remove her residence to Europe. It is the possi bility of Mrs. “Jack s” doing anything so cruel that has got Boston worse agiiaud than she was when Cervera’s fleet arrived at the Canary Islands. No, it was not Pathrick O’Toole in the Emerald Debating Club, but the Hon. Ohauncey M.* Pepew r in the Senate of the United States, who asked: “What is the apple of discord that is lashing some of our friends to fury?” A fitting reply would have been, it is the hydra-headed monster of protection which you are try ing to cram down poor Porto Rico’s threat to bind her hand and foot. PERSONAL. —lt is rumored in Dondon that Joseph Chamberlain expects to visit this country by way of a vacation at the close o the South African war. —Somebody recently showed cx-Spenke' Reed a copy of a Manila paper in which appeared this paragraph; “The difference between Tom Reed and Billy Mas ‘n s that when Tom Reed says he will resign h resigns.” “Ah.” said Mr. Reed, re Tec ive ly, “a great journalist is evidently wal-iing his talents on ihe Filipinos.” —Prof. W. E. D. Scott, curat:r of t e ornithological department of Princt n University, has gone to England to study the collection of birds in British Mu seum and to compare them with the spec imens recently procured from Patagvni-i. The result of his research will be emb d ied in a monograph on the birds of Pata gonia, which work is to be the first of a series of publications dealing wi h the Princeton Patagonian expedition. —The Boston Transcript says that during a recent session of the Senate, Mr. Petti grew, who is a tireless talker, insisted on using the phrase “ad infinitum with great frequency, pronouncing the longer word with the accent on the second sylla ble. Finally one of his associates- correct ed him. saying: “Give it the long ‘i,’ Sena tor.” Senator Hoar overheard this and re marked: “The Senator is probab y mak ng the short i’ to save’ the time of the Sen ate.” CIKRBKT COMMENT. The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: "The edict seems to have gone forth, however, from the White House that the Porto Ri cans must be taxed as even King George dared not tax the American colonists. Mr. McKinley has decided to out-Hered Her-xl and it is feared that there are noi enough Republican senators like Mr. Proctor ta hold ihe tyrant in check. But thifc Is the year of a presidential election and retri bution may come upon the party sooner than even Mr. Proctor Imagines. The Aofrertcan people do not like King George’s methods of taxation any better now than they did in ihe days preceding the Rev olution.” The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.) says: "The shortcomings of the consular service have long been appreciated by business men. and of recent years a few spasmoJic efforts have been made*to bring abou re form. It was at one time proposed to ea lablish a regular consular service under the protection of the civil service ays em. but the ottempts the present adm nlstra tlon has made to get over civil service re strictions hold out small hop of anything being done by the present Congress.” The Nashville American (Dem.) says: "It would seem Southern capital might find profit in life and fire Insurance. Mil ons of dollars of Southern money are steadily flowing into the coffers of Eastern, North ern and European insurance companies. Why not keep some of this money at home?” The Springfield (Mass.) Republican (Ind.) says “Mr. Cleveland’s opinion that ihe United State* is big enough to contribute the isthmian canal cscivillr.*tior> ani ded icate l to peace rather stump* the ‘large Americans.’ Will they tike the posliioi that th United built* lt>> too small a.i.d WMk'f" Delayed Retribution. "I suppose there are chances in all pro fessions,” said ihe con. man, wearily, ac cording to the Detroit Free Press, "but there seems to be more in mine than any business I know of. The experience that I have Just gone through with has been enough to drive me to throw up my graft and seek something else to .give me a liv ing without working. Business was pretty slack with me the other day, so when I chanced to run across an old man from the country I thought I had reason to con gratulate myself. The sequel proved what little faith one clan put in first impres sions. "Well, I pointed him out to one of my cappers, who engaged him in conversa tion amd soon had all he knew. Then I was ready for him. I rushed up, gave him the glad hand, and exclaimed: “ ‘lsn’t this SI Perkins, from Squash vllle?' “ ‘Yes, that’s my name,’ he answered, ‘and I’m darned if yer face ain’t kinder natural, but I can’t place ye.’ “ ‘Do you mean to say,’ said I, ‘that you don’t know Willie Beanblossom, the son of Zcb Beanblossom, who left home twen ty years ago?’ " ’Gosh!’ said he. ‘Are ye Willum Bean blossom?’ ‘The same!’ I cried. ‘How is your wife, Hannah, and all the rest of the folks?’ ‘By gosh,’ said he, ‘come up to my room and we will talk over old times.’ "Well, I followed the old man up to his room, and after we had entered he closed the door and locked proceeding that made me uneasy. ‘Willum,’ said he. as he put the key in his pocket, ‘do you remember the last time I saw you?’ “ ‘Twenty years is a long time,’ said I, feeling my way. •Wul. I’ll enlighten ye,’ he answered, grimly. ‘Ye was in my apple orchard, stealing apples. I didn’t catch ye, but I promised ye the all-ffredest thrashing ye ever got when I did. That was twenty years ago, Willum, but it ain’t too late yer.’ he said, as he took off his coat. ‘See here,’ I Vegan. ‘Willum,’ said he, rolling up his sleeves and placing a hair brush where it was handy. ‘ck>me here!’ "Well, what is the use of saying any more about a painful subject? He was bigger man than.l, and was applying the hairbrush where it would do the most good before I knew’ it, and—well, I’m looking for ‘Y\ ilium,’ who left homo twenty years ago, and if I find him and he isn’t a big ger man than I, there is going to be a fight!” A Tribute to Longfellow. Nearly fifty years ago Longfellow visit ed the Ojibway tribe of Indians, in the land of Hiawatha, on the shores of Lake Superior, and was the guest of the chief, Bukwujjinene. On Monday, says the New York Tribune, Wabunosa, the grandson of the chief, and Kabaoos-a, his nephew’, vis ited the home of Longfellow, in Cam bridge, Mass., and w ere the guests of th j poet's daughters. Mrs. Dana, Mrs. Thorp and Miss Longfellow. Kabaosa .-ang twj Indian songs for his hostesses, one a love song and the other a war song, which his grandfather had composed after the vi - tory which his tribe, as allies of the Brit ish, gained over another tribe aided with the colonists at the battle of Queenstown Heights in the War of 1812. This is a translation of an invitation which they extended to their hostesses: "Ladies: We loved your father. The memory of our people will never dp as long as your father’s song lives, and that will live forever. “Will you and your husbands nnd Miss Longfellow come and see us and stay in our royal wigwams on an is'and in Hia watha’s playground, in he lard of the Ojibways?
