Admiral Dewey has arranged to leave
Washington next week for a trip that
will take him as far west as Grand
Rapids, Mich. The trip is to have no
political significance. He accepted invi
tations from three Western cities before
he announced his candidacy, and he will
keep the engagements as Admiral of the
Navy, Just as he did his Chicago en
gagement. The probability are that the
Admiral Is already tlrvd of politics, with
out ever having been into It to any ap

nothing more will be ever heurd of his
candidacy.

THE SEA lIOARO AIR LITiE.
The formal opening of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway is a matter of great
interest to rhe whole South Atlantic
section. The event marks the consum
mation* of the consolidation of many
separate companies, some . having in
different connections and being other
wise deficient in the means of attaining
the highest efficiency, into one great and
strong system of 2,600 miles, reaching from
Richmond on the north to Tampa on
the south, and having ramifications
into the rich cotton, turpentine, lumber,
granite, fruit and grain sections of the
South. The system also practically taps
the center of the coal and iron fields of
Alabama, and may be expected to receive
a considerable tonnage of those commodi
ties. Furthermore, the Seaboard’s terri
tory takes in those sections in which mill
and factory building has recently been
carried on with so much spirit and suc
cess.
It may be said, therefore, that the gen
ius which conceived and brought about
the formation of the greater Seaboard
System builded for a career which is
likely to be one of the most prosperous
in the history of American railroads. The
system is in a section where there is a
plenty of raw material for industry to
work upon, and where great industrial
development is inevitably bound to go
forward from the present time.
The system, however, is not dependent
upon future development for its prosper
ity. It has been shown to be already
upon a solid basis. Bui i is in the po
sition of one who has “got in on the
ground floor,” and will, therefore, reap
the benefits of the growth of the indus
trial interests of the South; and that
this section will lead the country for the
next dozen or more years in new indus
tries seems to be practically admitted on
all hands. The legitimate competition
that will be opened up between the two
great north and south systems cannot
fall to be of benefit to the cities which
they serve.
A most gratifying circumstance, from
a local view point, in connection with
the formation of this great new system
is the display of perfect faith in the
future of the port of Savannah by the
gentlemen of the Seaboard corporation.
The indisputable evidences of this faith
are to be seen on Hutchinson’s Island,
where terminals that will compare favor
ably with any in the world ar# rapidly
nearing completion. Only a great, strong
and far-seeing corporation could have un
dertaken such an enterprise, and they
would have planted it nowhere save at a
great port; and the conditions on the
part of each principal were met in the
case of the builders of the Hutchinson’s
Island terminals and the port of Savan
nah. This is the natural outlet to the
sea for the great portion of the Sea
board’s territory, and the railroad has
determined to avail Itself fully of the ad
vantages ofTered by the situation.
The Seaboard Air Line officials are cor
dially welcomed to Savannah, and an
equally friendly reception Is given to the
system. We hope and believe that “Sal”
and Savannah will grow greater and
richer together. Their interests are now
closely interwoven, and we have no doubt
that they will work together in harmony.
THE SOUTH AFRICAN REPUBLICS,
There does not seem to be any doubt
that 4be South African republics will dis
appear from the map. The Orange Free
Stale has already been declared to be a
British colony, to be known as the Orange
River Colony, and it Is probable that the
British army will reach the Transvaal
capital within a day or two. It is not
even certain that It will meet with re
sistance at Pretoria. The Boer army
seems to have gone to pieces—at least,
the greater part, of it. It saw the use
lessness of fighting longer. It is doubt
ful if at any time it was as large as it
was represented to be. The claim is
made that at the beginning of the war
the number of Boers subject to military
service in the Transvaal was not oven
33,000 and in the Orange Free State about
20,000. Therefore the entire force which
it was possible for the Boers to put into
the field was only 53,000 men. But It is
clear that at no time could they bring
into service every man subject to m’li
lary duty. -A fair estimate of the num
ber of men the Boers had in the field
would be probably 40,000. There were some
foreigners—soldiers of fortune and men
who enlisted In the Boer service when
the mines at Johannesburg were closed—
probably 1,000 in all. If this estimate Is
approximately correct it must be admit
ted that the Boers have made a remark
able defense of their independence.
If they should yield now and ask for
terms of peace they would not be permit
ted to remain an independent state. They
know that. Indeed they understood be
fore they began the war that if they
should be defeated they would sink to
the position of British colonists. In a
speech delivered in London last Tuesday
Lord Salisbury said that not “a shred of
the former independence of the republics
shall remain." It is clear from this that
the English government has decided upon
its policy with respect to the Transvaal.
It does not intend that there shall re
main h chance for resistance to British
authority In South Africa In the future.
Dr. George F. Shrady, the eminent phy
sician and l editor of the Medical Record,
is 1n San Francisco, where he went to ex
amine into the 'bubonic plague, alleged to
exist In that city. Dr. Shrady telegraphs
to the Herald that he has had every facil
ity for getting down to the botton facts;
that he examined a number of specimens
and bacteria cultures, and that the ex
istence of the bubonic plague admits of
no shadow of a doubt. In view of this
testimony from so high an authoity, cor
roborative of the statements -made by the
San Francisco Board of Health, drastic
measures for stamping out the diseases
will no doubt be adopted at once.
It Is understood that Senator Fairbanks
of Indiana, has been deckled upon to write
the anti-trust plank of the Philadelphia
platform. The plunk will probably be
upon the lines of the bill Introduced Into
the Hopse recently by Mr. Kay of New
York. providing for a constitutional
amendment. It is pretty generally ac
cepted that the Ray bill Is a blufT, intro
duced for campaign purposes solely.
THE GROWING SOUTH.
sion in the South" the Phi'adeiphia In
quirer ra>s; “Commerce has turned its
eyes to the South. No section of the
country is at the present time showing
such refistless energy and nervous
strength, such indomitable determina
tion to meet the commercial problems of
the day Intelligently, and such willing
ness to adapt its methods to the condi
tions that confront the country.” There
is much truth in the foregoing. The
South Just beginning to realize ap
parently the greatness of her resources
and the possibilities within her reach for
building up vast commercial and manu
facturing interests. Her great crop, cot
ton, brings her big returns, but It can
be made to bring her many times as
much as It does. She is beginning to un
derstand this, and that is why cotton
mills are being built near the cotton
fields. Many more mills have been built
within the last twelve months in the
Southern States than in the same number
of months at any previous time in their
history. Unless all signs fail the build
ing of cott< n mills will be continued until
there will be enough cf them to manu
facture the bulk of the cotton crop.
The manufactured cotton will bring to
her several times as much as the raw
material does now, and this additional
capital will be employed in other kinds
of manufacturing. Her immense mineral
resources will be developed, and the iron
and steel plants of Alabama and Ten
nessee will rival those of Pennsylvania.
Her fields and the mills will make a
commerce that will be as great, If not
greater, than that cf the East. It will,
of course, take time to do all of this, but
her growth in wealth having once fairly
begun will be rapid. She has a popula
tion differ nt from that of any other sec
tion of the country. It is a population
(hat is almost purely native American,
and It is capable of accomplishing great
things when the way is open for It to dis
play its energy and strength. The way
is opening now. The South is only just
beginning to accumulate the wealth that
is necessary for the building up of great
manufacturing and commercial interests.
The young men are here—genuine young
Americans, possessing all the qualities
necessary for the upbuilding of a coun
try—and now that capital Is accumulating
it may be reasonably expected that the
growth of the South In material wealth
will be one of the wonderful things of
the ceTjtury soon to begin.
There Is confidence in the South’s fu
ture. Otherwise capital would not be
seeking investment within her limits. To
day, in this city, will be celebrated the
completion of a great railroad system. In
which a vast amount of money has been
invested. Those who are interested in this
enterprise have faith in the South’s fu
ture. and they will not be disappointed.
THE "BOXER” HOVBMEJIT IN CHINA
The "Boxer” movement in China has
assumed such proportions as to cause the
question to be asked whether it does not
threaten the integrity of the empire. It
Is developing, apparently, into a revolu
tion. It had its origin in an agitation
against foreign influences and interests,
and it was supposed to be favorable to
the Manchu dynasty. There are reasons
for thinking that it was encouraged by
the Dowager Empress, who is the real
power in the government. At first there
were attacks here and there on mission
aries, but lately hostility against all
Christians has become very marked, and
a number of Christian families have been
massacred. The outrages have become so
numerous, and the lives and property of
foreigners so greatly endangered, that
some of the Powers have ordered war ves
sels to Chinese ports nearest the seat of
the trouble, and, according to our dis
patches yesterday, guards have been
landed ot Shanghai from British, French,
Russian and Japanese war ships.
In the neighborhood of Pekin, the con
dition of affairs is alarming. Although
the fanatical "Boxers" are not provided
with arms, they do not stand in awe of
the imperial troops. Indeed, the troops
appear to be in sympathy with them. It
is alleged that many of the soldiers have
openly Joined the "Boxers.”
On Wednesday the government issued an
edict prohibiting the “Boxers’ " organiza
tion, under penalty of death. It was so
worded, however, that it seemed an ex
cuse for the movement of the “Boxers,"
rather than a condemnation of it. It is
safe to say that it will not be productive
of any good results. Asa matter of fact
the government appears to be too weak
to cope with the movement. Both the
army and navy of China are in a very
disorganized condition. The "Boxers,”
therefore, are having everything pretty
much their own way.
It is a question as to how long the Pow
ers will submit to having their interests
in China
pelled to protect their interests with
force, they may take steps that will lead
eventually to the dismemberment of the
empire. It is evident that they do not
Intend to abandon the policy that has been
adopted of opening up China to commerce.
They will not permit themselves to be
driven out of the country by the “Boxers,”
or any other organization. They want the
trade of China, end they will have it,
even though it becomes necessary for
them to exercise far greater authority in
that empire than they have yet attempted
to do.
A petition has been sent to the Chicago
City Council, praying the removal of the
police monument from Haymarket Square
to one of the parks. This monument was
erected to the memory of tho policemen,
Who lost their lives in the anarc hists' riots
of several years ago, and stands upon the
spot where the deadly bomb was explod
ed. Some hucksters and other traders
think they could do more business in the
square if the monument were out of the
way, and so little sentiment is there in
the Council, that the chances are the re
rhoval will be ordered.
A Washington paper says that Senator
Pepew ha3 taken to golf, and now play?
In u red coat and striped Tam o'Shanter.
"while admiring crowds follow him around

information in this part of the country,
the speeches that are Induced by golf, es
pecially when one misses an easy stroke,
..are apt to be explosive rather than witty.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1900.
Certain French interests, It is said, are
alarmed at thr popularity that Is being
won by dishes made from corn in the
American ccrti kitchen at the Paris Ex
position, ar.d are exerting themselves <o
discredit the grain as human food. Among
the stories b'ing givm c’rculation is one
to the effect that in Italy the use of
maize (or corn) causes a disease called
pellagra. Thomas' Medical Dictionary
says this Is ask n disease common In
certain parts of Italy, but does not sug
gest the ea lng of corn as a cause of It.
In this part ef the world some of the
healthiest, hardiest, strongest, longest
lived men and women are those who eat
corn In some shape three times a day,
who eat wheat hardly oftener than once
or twice a week, and who probably never
see rye at all. It is probably something
else than com which causes the Italians
to have pellagra.
A hearty welcome to the Maris, and her
gallant captain and crew! The yacht is a

thusiasm, we Savannahians shall have
a hard task keeping that cup. Mean

the cup to be safe, Wi'.h the good friend

And we are quite sure that the victors

The famous old schooner yacht Gray
ling has been burned at Greenport, L. I.
In her day, which was not so very long
ago. the Grayling was one of the fastest
and finest craft of the New York Yacht
Club, but of late she has been so badly
outclassed that her usefulness as a racer
has been at an end. Owing to his af
fection for the old yacht, her owner, Mr.
Fish, would never consent for her to be
come a fisher’s boat, so he sold her fit
tings for a song with the proviso that
the hull and spars be burned. The fisher
folks of Long Island could not under
stand the sentiment which prompted Mr.
Fish to sacrifice the craft, but then they
never owned a racing yacht and sailed
her for trophies.
Here is a sample of Candidate Ignatius
Donnelly’s wit: “If the Lord had taken
an inch off Mr. Bryan's jawbone and
placed It between Ms temples, he might
have been President of the United States.”
It may be remarked incidentally that Mr.
Bryan’s chances for being President are
several million times better than Mr. Don
nelly’s are for being Vice President. Pre
sumably, therefore, something is radically
wrong with the proportions of Donnelly's
jaw and head.

Cl niIENT COMMENT.
The New York Evening Post (Ind.) says:
“The new wine of expansion, is putting the
old bottles of protectionism to a terrible
test. Senator Lodge Is evidently overcome
by the intoxicating effect of the new doc
trines, and not content with his recent
proclamation of war, he now expatiates
on ihe coming of free trade. He rhapso
dizes over the growth of our commerce
with Hawaii, which is, of course, due to
our abolition of Hie duty on Hawaiian su
gar, and declares that he looks for equally
rapid improvement in our trade with Porto
Rico end the Philippines. Undoubtedly
there would be a prodigious improvement
In that trade were our protective duties
abolished. We could have an immense
trade with Cuba and with the rest of the
world on those terms. But Senator Lodge
will have to be careful not to frighten the
protected Interests by declaring this policy
too openly."
The New York Tribune (Rep.) says:
“Great Britain keeps right on sending
troops to South Africa by tens of thous
ands Just as though the campaign were
only beginning instead of drawing to a tri
umphant close. That Is partly, of course,
to make sure of having plenty of men on
hand for any possible emergency. But
there is another reason, and perhaps a
stronger one, for it. Great Britain means
to take advantage of this war for the mil
itarizing, so to speak, of the whole nation.
Every man who enlists for South Africa
now becomes a soldier, and adds to the
effective and expert force Great Britain
will henceforth have at call In case of
other need. The great fighting race of
the world is getting Its fighting blood up
and putting itself Into fighting trim,”
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
“The productive capacity of the Southern
states has been only so far developed as
to baffle estimate; but the fringe, or out
line, has been made apparent. The cotton
crop of ten or eleven million bales, worth
from thro, hundred million* to four hun
dred millions of dollars, could all be raised
in the single state of Texas, If necessary.
Not 5 per cent, of the cotton growing land
has yet been planted. The capacity for
mineral production is equally a matter of
Ihe future. The South is a storehouse 6f
untouched wealth.”
The Chicago Times-Herald says: "As
the twelfth census will be the most Im
portant mid comprehensive picture of our
national life and growth ever prepared by
the government it should also be the most
accurate, and the way to Insure Its ac
curacy is for every citizen to co-operate
with the enumerators to that end and to
answer faithfully and truthfully every
Inquiry propounded. Every family or
household should compile a brief census
of lis own on the points mentioned above
to aid the enumerators in their task.”
Story of Chou. A. Pillabnry.
The late Charles A. Plllsbury, the big
miller of Minneapolis, whos active life
was punctuated at ten-minute intervals
with good stories, gained just fame among
the men of his class for unostentatious
generosity, say3 the New York Commer
cial. Here Is a true recital of an incident
that occurred just three weeks prior to
Mr. PUlsbury’s death.
An employe of the Mississippi Telephone
Company was putting In wires on his of
fice desk. During the operation Mr. PlUs
bury sat aside waiting to resume business
and watching the man’s proceedings with
evident interest. While he was thus wait
ing, a poorly dressed woman and two
boys, evidently her sods, were ushered In.
The woman, seemed much embarrassed,
but Mr. Plllsbury encouraged her to tell
her story, and to that story he listened
with an expression of surprise! compas
sion .
The miller. It appeared, had five years
before lent thl3 woman's husband SSO to
keep the w-olf from the door at a time
when he was 111 and out of employment.
The man’s health subsequently broke down
and he died without being able to repay
the debt.
In this extremity the. wife had taken to
washing to support herself and two chil
dren. the 12 and lt-year-old boys who ac
companied her. She recited in an apolo
getic manner her story of the difficulty
encountered in maintaining her little fam
ily, and at the same time, saving some
thing for the removal of the debt to Mr.
Plllsbury; but she added, With evident
pride, that at last she had the money and
had come to pay it.
When the woman had told her story,
Mr. Plllsbury sat looking at her in blank
astonishment.
“My good woman,” he said, “you have
no doubt worked very hard and denied
yourself many necessaries to save this
money; is that right?”
The debtor admitted that it had been
pretty hard, but insisted that she was
prrud and glad to be able to pay, and
with this she laid the 'money on t.he
de-k, bowed her thanks for the favor
b stowed and took the boys’ hands pre
paratory to withdrawal.
"Hold on, madam,” Mr. Pillsbury, now
determined on a policy—“l have a plan
that suits me better.”
Touching a bell, he instructed a clerk to
make out two notes of $25 each, payable
ten years from date. The woman heard
but did not understand.
When the notes were brought, Mr. Pills
bury looked them over and then called
up the two boys. In easily comprehended
terms he explained that he proposed to
lend those two boys $25 each on the con
ditions named in the notes, and that he
expected them to pay when the notes were
due. The lads took the matter very se
iiously and agreed to pay the money.
Then Mr. Plllsbury Informed the mother
that her boys had canceled their father’s
obligation, and that there remained noth
ing for her to do but to take the SSO home
with her.
Incidentally the miller said a few words
to the woman which made her face
brighten and brought tears to her eyes,
whereupon Mr. Pillsbury coughed in that
peculiar way of his and retreated pre
cipitately. What he said to the woman
was something about an employment for
those lads when they finished school.
Hale's Vitriolic Tongue.
"It Is not often,” said Former Repre
sentative Benedict of New York, who was
in Congress more than, twenty years ago,
says the St. Louis Star, “that a speech
in the House affects a vote one way or
the other, but I remember one occasion
when a vote was made by a speech deliv
ered by Representative (now Senator)
Hale. The vote, though, was influenced
in the opposite way intended by the gentle
man from Maine. Colorado had just been
admitted to the Union, end James B. Bel
ford, a Republican, occupied the one seat
to which the Centennial state was then en
titled. His right to the seat was being con
tested by Thomas iM. Patterson, Demo
crat. The House was pretty evenly divid
ed, and party lines were not drawn so
tight as is usual in such cases.
There was a Democrat in the House
named Mackay, and he was disposed to
vote for Belford. As I knew him pretty
well, I was asked by Patterson to labor
with him. I could do nothing with him,
however, as he emphatically declared that
he would vote for the sitting member. At
last Hale arose to speak.' His remarks
were venomous in the extreme. He could
not say mean enough things about the
Democratic party, and at last he aroused
the ire of Mackay. Mackay came over to
my seat boiling with rage. The language
he used in characterizing Hale’s speech
would be unfit for publication. He declared
that after listening to Hale’s blistering
speech he would vote for no Republican
alive or dead, and he voted against Bei
ford. The resolution which gave Patterson
his seat was adopted by a vote of 117 to
116.”
Joke on a Tombstone,
People who visit the ancient “public
burying ground" beside the Old Concord
Schoolhouse, in Germantown, are apt to
receive a shock; that is, if they fall to
reading the epitaphs, as visitors in a
graveyard usually do, says the Philadel
phia North American.
Concealed in a modest, unfrequented
corner is a grave which, half hidden in
tangled grass, seems in nowise different
from its sunken fellows. It is only when
the eye of the explorer falls upon the
tombstone at its head that the? shock is
received. For the inscription, in time
worn letters, reads:

Luckily, the oldest inhabitant is usually
near at hand to explain the situation and
chuckle anew over an ancient Joke.
Adam Shisler, so he explains, was gath
ered to his fathers at the age of 69 years.
The stone-cutter mistook his directions
and hail already cut 96 years upon the

Thrifty, unwilling to lose his hours of
toll, he covered up the first nine with
cement, and added another after the six.
In the course of years the cement wore
away, and some ghoulish wag with a
pocketknlfe did the rest.
The Inaccuracy of the epitaph is prover
bial, but that of poor Adam Shisler, as It
stands, must carry off the palm for pre
varication.
Clarke's Disobedient Dog.
The late Dr. James Freeman Clarke,
according to the Outlook, used to tell
this amusing story of his dog:
"At one time my dog was fond of go
ing to the railway stalion to see the
people, and I always ordered him to go
home, fearing he would be hurt by the
cars. He easily understood that if he went
there it was contrary to my wishes. So,
whenever he was mar the station, if he
saw me coming, he would look the other
way and pretend not to know me. If he
met me anywhere else, he always bound
el to met mo with great delight. But
at the station it was qnlte different. He
would pay no attention to my whistle
or my call. He ev n pretended to be an
other dog, and would look me right In
the face without apparently recognizing
me He gave me the cut direct in the
most impertinent manner, the reason evi
dently being that he knew he was doing
what was wrong and did not like to be
found out. Possibly he may have relied
a little on my near-sightedness in his
maneuver,."
