Instead of one general building for all purposes. We believe that the home could thus be ■side more comfortable, there attractive. Safer from destruction by fire and In ev ery way an improvement on what It was before, handsome as the former struc ture was. ■ The trustees have abundant room for a quadrangle of buildings on any scale they may see fit to adopt. The cottage plan could be worked up beautifully and we beheve would be found more satMfactory hi every way than any other The veterans could be grouped mage congenially by separating them in a number of cottages than by mossing them in one buiMibg and the consideration otpreater safety Is a very strong one. It would be easy to afford better fire pro tection to comparatively small buOdings. well spaced out. than eoald possibly be given to one great structure If the home had been built originally on the cottage plan it would not have been tottJly destroyed last Monday. Prepara- Ue«s for the rebuilding of the home are praceeding moot hopefully. The iaturance money. d.SCO. has been increased by eub- to the amount of about M.OM, and every day the fund receives addltloht frotn all parts of the state. • The trustees have resolved th issue gs Address todhv people of Georgia asking for subscriptions to the fund which it is ddNred to carry up to MO.Cd6. » There is less than to be raised m the whole, of this great state for a saass which is near to the heart of Geor- Tb doubt that this wiU be done and dene right early is to oast upon Georgia such a -W.*tctior. as stiebas never deserved. ’ JAPAN’! GRaND OLD MAN. Mie man who has more than any other it <o with the transformation of Japan from a comparatively Insignificant and country into a great power is now in the United -States. Count Ito must be racked among the great statesmen of this filtration- 1 U may be 'Mild without exaggeration rfrat with the<&vption of Bismarck ho ngAfr statesman during the •’Mt 38 years ran accomplished so much for the exten of hfcs coi{qt|>-V power ban 1* eie- j ■ frUpn in- the scale of nations. ' welded together its tjuaai-lndepend ent provinces and made united Germany the first power in Continental Europe. When Count Ito began his work Japan waa considered hardly more in interna tional affairs than China is today. Now Japan is nniversaily recognised as a power to be reckoned with whenever euestfons arise affecting the orient. Japan's greet statesman began many years agd the study of Western civillsa t!o' and government. Me vieited England 10 company with Count laonye hnd learn-. ed much that has proved of immense ben efit to him and his country. He is the au thor of a new constitutional order of things tn Japan and undertook the task at a time when its accomplishment seem ed to almost every one else very difficult, if not actunlty impossible. He has held constantly the confidence of the mikado. Whom he converted to his great ideas. Count Ito has had the mikmfo’o unfail ing aid in prosecuting his great tchemea. He has. in fact, aa prime minister, pres ident Os the house of peers and president Os the privy council, for years past borne a great part of the burden of Japan’s gov ernment. ' ’ ’’ In IMB. Rt the request of the mikado. Ctrtnt Ito formed a cabinet and con structed the governmental policy which tea roeulted In giving Japan • place at the table of the great natft.w He has succeeded th liberalising Japan’s govern ment. and thus making it exceedingly popular with the fftasbes. He ha* encoun tered the stubborn opposition of both ths extreme conservative and the radical ele ments, but has. over come both. He haa been described a* having the combined powers of oriental and occidental states manship. Japan, mainly through his W forta, has become possessed of a mode* army, a powerful navy. « general system of public education, a gold standard cur rency and many other elements of strength and progress. He tea HteraUy uplifted his country .to a position which nobody dreamed ten years ago it cotfid possibly occupy at least, not for genera tions to come. Count Ito will make a good long stay in this country, visiting every section ot It and making a study of Its Institutions and policies. That he will learn much by Oils experience is certain, for he has Won derful faculties of observation and adap tation. The relations between the United States and Japan are very cordial and whertwr mir distinguished vteltor may go in this country he will bo received with treat consideration. ALABAMA’S NEW CONSTITUTION. The frfefids of the proposed new Ala bama constitution on Which the peoplh of Alabama are te pass next month are ton fident that it will be adopted, but they are endeavoring to arouse the voters in all parts of the state to Its hearty support. Al! the leading Alabama newspapers ad vocate Its adoption. Even the Montgom ery Journal has taken this line, although it has been the especial champion bf ex- Governor Johnston, who is opposed to the new eomrtitutlon. Governor Jelks han taken the stump and Thursday made an effective plea for rati fication to a large popular assemblage tn Huntsville. The Montgomery Advertiser says: “Ths more the new constitution !• «»fi ths better it is liked.” The committee which is managing the campaign tor the ratification of the eon stltution hk* Issued ah address setting forth its many points and urging the peo ple to vote for It. It makes a very strong argument for ratification and we are reliably informed that the new constitution will be adopted by a decided majority. AMERICANS ALL. Bishop Candiet In his admirable lecture at Grand opera house Friday night, ar gued In favor of. a ‘ liberal Immigration policy, but said that, wherever they may come from, all men after they have made this country thieir home, should be AtnerU cana. He said they should subordinate always concerns 1n Berlin, in Dublin, in Paris and all other centers of politics to the affairs and Interests of this country. This sentiment waa liberally applauded. Il expresses the right view of the respon sibilities and duties of all who come to ■share.the benefit*«nd take advantage* of the opportunities of our. tavernthent. ' Al* who join ua ia this spirit are tearttly wekbkie; those Who come In any ether spirit are not wanted. .. A BRITISH VIEW OF HIM. While there is no more independent and self-sufficient people than ours to be found any where, we would not be human if we did nqt desire and value the gopd opinion ot others. A*d Stere is no nation whose friendship ia s* valuable to us at Is th*t of Great Britata. It is gratifying,- therefore, to know that reprewntattve exponents of British public opinion hold a high esti mate of our new president and have con fidence in hto character and abHlty. The London Spectator, wifich is notably . .cordial in Hs feelings toward the United States, says. “Ms. Roosevelt is fgr mote like the men bf'th* fttst three decades of the republic than the convention-made presidents of modern tliq e9 » When we say he is an 4>ld-fteh»oned American we meaa thaj; he belongs to that etrong. vigorous, hutßbri latfve type which has always existed in American and always been apparent onougk w.iiWM aqd ifi peivfifo Mfo, thengb of lets It has bean sunhjrW ,ul> ' THB SEMI-WEEKLY .lOOENAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 10, 1901 merged in poUUcs. He ia essentially one of those men who know exactly whet they want and mean to Set It.” The Spectator takes no stock in the the ory that President Roosevelt i* a aort of Hotspur, spoiling for a row. TMe idea Wils suggested more In this Country than wnywher* else, but there 1s no reasonable foundation for tt, and since the accesalosi of Mr. Roosevelt to the presidency its fallacy has been exposed in the light of his former record, as well as his later ut terances. The Spectator considers President Roosevelt “a man of foofleration” and to sustain this correct view cltas his mes sages and acts as governor ot.New York., his writings and speeches on the tariff,- the trust* and Other public questions. It adds: "Bren in the case of imperial ism and a vigorous foreign policy Mr. Roosevelt has never gtfoe to extremes.” The Spectator finds In President Roose velt a striking resemblance to Lord Pal merston. one of the greatest and most ’successful of England'* prime ministers. It says: “Os course, no tiro men are ever quite alike, but impulsiveness combined with an abstract moderation ot view, and au thoritativeness coupled with a strict recognition of law and constitutional right, undoubtedly belong to both Char acters.” This is a very high .estimate qf the Ident, but we dn not think It Ik more than * fafr analysis of Ms striking cterantes tsflcs. — — AN IMMENSE IMPROVEMENT. Convincing proof of the effect of several yeara* prosperity and ptesent fovorable oondltfori* In the south is seen in the fact that the south has to borrow much less money than usual this year for moving Rs crops. This to, of course, bacause she has much more money of her own than she his formerly had at thft season.: ' In the fall of last yqar New Orleans drew from the north H,05,W0, but this year with a cotton crop ot nearly tan and a hAlf million baits going to market, with New Orteans aa Rs chief port, the bank ers of that city have hU to ffily lAaw.OM. Them wiM probably be calls for -mere currency for the. business centers of the south, but it is a foregone conclu sion that the eeuth will need lees assW tance of this kind than sne has bebn com pelled to ask In a long time. The south has mor* money, better bank ing faoHltlee and more cordial relations between the people and the banks than at any former period. This is a very hap py condition and we may reasonably ex pect it to become still better. AN AGE OF~RAPID RISES. We live in a time when men rise from small beginnings to positions of great honor and power with almost incredible rapidity, and we live In a country where the instances of swift success are the most numerous. ? , The present president of. the United State* was a college boy a little more than twenty years ago and in the interim h*s filled many placet o{ high trust and responsibility and become f*mous in sev eral lines of effort. It seems but yesterday to those who have watched hia career when a Georgia boy left borne to accept a position as rogman in the engineer corps of’the Bal timore and OJilo railroad. Me lias been at the head of that big tfystem and id now president of the greatest railroad aysteih in the south, th* Southern. Which is reaching out for Immense importance in the west also. Nbt many years have passed since * braytny, determined, bigh-hcarted Geor gia youth was ploughing the slopes of Cobb county, twenty mtlCs above Atlanta. He Is now an honored and influential sen ator of the United States. Who woqld llbve predicted even five years ago that w*ry little Fred Funston on a Kansas farm would at th!* time be a fuH fledged Brigadier in th« Unit-, ed States army? The present governor of New York, one of tac ablest and best chief executives the Empire State has had since Samuel J. TfMen. fifteen years ago was the driver of an Ice wagon> The president of the greatest business corporation ever formed, ona that has a billion dollars of capital and controls the steel trade of half the world. Is barely pist thirty and Was a poOr boy. Hundreds of men now conspicuous in affaire have come up from insignificance and eame with a rush that would make disay any head not set and held vary firmly on the level. The a*W fleet vice president of the great Louisville and Nashville railroad, Walker D. Hines, Is a striking Illustration of a rapid rise. Ten years ago he held a lit tle clerkship with the company, of which he is flow thh toicond highest and Its head men probably did not know that any such man was anywhere about them. Well did Emerson say: “America is but another naipe for opportunity.”., It Is reported on what seems tb be- goofl. authority that Sanford B. Dole, governor of Hawaii, has been asked by the admin istration at Washington to resign. In other word*. Pole haa bpen deposed, and for good reason. He |e an adventurer who went to Hawaii some ten dr twelve years ago. With the aid of a few other bold and ambitious Americans he formed the conspiracy which succeeded in over throwing the monarchy and placing Dole at the.held «f a bo-eai!ed fopublfo. The success of the scheme was made possible by the aid of a United States man-of-war that happened to be at Hono lulu and which, for some unexplained reason, placed «s marine* as Dole's ner vlce. The attempt to annex Hawaii by treaty failed because the requisite two-thirds vote could not be obtained in the sen ate. Congress then proceeded to annex the country by a resolution which Presi dent McKinley approved; ’ Dole was appointed governor under the forth of government Which Wat estab lished by tire United States for Hawaii and seems to have been more of an au tocrat than the head of a republic, as HpwStl Ik called.

I suppose the most interesting subject before the people of Georgia today is the fact that the tax collector soon begins hi* rounds and' when his rfrunds are made . then execution is to be Issued. For the legislature to appropriate funds is a very e,aay matter; for the comjn<> n people to pay tlielr taxes a very hard matter.

W’hen you pull the money out .of the pocket of tht poor man to put fnto the potket of a mart who 1* far bettor off financially than the poor man, then you outrage the principles of honesty, to say nothing bf charity. I heard some negroes talking during the Spanish-American war about going Ihto the Army. They said they didn’t Want to fight, but that if they would join the army they would not have . to work any the balance of their lives, that they would draw a pension. FktrlotUm is running at a mighty low Obb when pensions furnish the motive for service to one’s country. George Wash ington led as valiant an army from L*X ingtoh to Yorktown as the world ever knew, and so far as my knowledge goes they never drew a pension until after the war between the states and it became common to pension everything that had pat on bfoe <W washed and rubbed up an Old gun. The Ude set* now towards ap propriations. The governor has just an nounced that Georgia in spite of heavy taxes on the people is *138.000 short.

Complaints ot Irts administration have gone up to Washington in increasing vol ume. It appears that he has not only failed to carry out the spirit of the terms of annexation; but has violated time and Hine ugktn the plainest promises of re form. , The administration at Washington seems to have realised that it should no longer folbfate and this daring find tricky usurper will be made to give way to some rnati who, it is hoped, will be more' satisfactory both to the people of Rawa.lT and our government. President Diaz, of Mexico, is said to work 16 hours a day. But, then, Diaz gets 16 hours pay.

And what a blessed thing It is that there are not. Atlanta will soon be able to get even with those Georgia legislators. They will have to arrive at the union depot.
