In yesterday’s Hersld we referred to the great heart of the American people which never falls to respond to the cry of distress, and to how the well -springs of sympathy are opened wide when misfortune or devastation lays heavy hand upon some commun ity In our common country. And today we are reminded by the great mUfortune that has been visited upon San Francisco that our country Is much richer and better able to give tl^hn It was thirty-live years ago. The Chicago relief fund amounted, all told, to about $5,000,000. For San Francisco there has been raised more than double that amount In five days, and systematic collection has Just begun. And at the time of the Chicago dis aster we were thankful to get help from England; now we are neither asking nor expecting any foreign aid. Then the South had not recovered from the poverty into which the en tire section was hurled by the Civil War; while today no part of the coun try Is contributing more liberally to the San Francisco relief fund. The truth Is, our entire country Is much richer than It was thlrty-flve years ago, and It Is not unreasonable to believe that we are more generous ns a people. = TELEPHONES: [ Composing Room arid Job Printing Offish, 60 — 3 rings, t Editorial Rooms and Bualneas Of fice, 60.

Yes, Paulino, The 1 Herald people are having to do things In a rush today. But they are doing It. it, The crowd In Albany today Is a rec •breaker, even for Military Day of p.'V the Georgia Chautauqua. , The Governor und the soldiers are wlth’us today, and great Is this Mili tary Day of the Georgia Chautauqua. The scientists urc now talking and writing a lot about earthquakes, but raerj Is precious little to be learned . . from them on the subject. Liverpool agents of Transatlantic 'steamship companies state that the rush of wealthy Americans to Englnnd j will exceed all previous records dur- &S'- la * the coming summer. The question of ‘draining the ever- 5jj. glades is now "ui) to" the people of 'j. Florida, with Gov. Bvownrd on deck ami ready to begin the work. Soihe of the taxpayers are protesting, how ever. There is evidently a uniform ru*ke- Off of 75 conts for somebody In the Atlanta police court. The flues lin- 1 posed by Recorder "Brlles" invariably l- ‘ have 75 cents tacked on to the even or ■HMSKh',;: Odd number of dollars named by him In assessing fines. Many of the women or San Fran- ciaco, who'are now living In tents and camping out In the parks and on the beach, have donned men's attire. Clothing for women Is Bcarce, and the women who have donned overalls or ,trousers say it Is no time tor false ■ modesty. .Our telegraphic dispatches have made only brief reference to the cele bration in .Philadelphia this week of jthfe bi-centennnry of Presbyterianism . . in: the United States. Two hundred ye&rs ago the first presbytery was or ganized in Philadelphia, and for a long tlnie that city was the recognised H headquarters of Presbyterianism in || this country. But the country has 'grown so large and the Presbyterians C hare spread themselves over It tnorqughly that the City of Brotherly I-ove »can no longer claim' the same ; {relative pre-eminence; yet the city where the General Assembly was so long in the habit of meeting annually i must always be regarded by Presby- -.terlans with affection as the early le of their communion. There are tent speakers in Philadelphia this sk to tell of the achievements of years of Presbyterianism. iiv. mm PROTECTING THE WOMEN IN SAN FRANCI8CO. A presB dispatch from San Fran cisco says that the soldiers on guard in Golden Gate Park, where most of the refugees are campoj, shot and killed a riumbet- 'of mrin who had been attacking wdinen. No mercy was shown these bruteB. In every case they wore shot down without parley. A terrible example was made of one of these fiends. Two guards attracted by the piercing Bcreams of a young girl, caught the man, and between them led him to n corner of the park free from shrubbery. (There with bay onets ready to run him through, they compelled him to dig a grave. That grave, he knew, was his own. As he finished, each of the soldiers brought his rifle to his shoulder and fired. The man stumbled forward Into the grave, shot twice through the henrt. He was burled on the spot and a wooden tablet placed there to worn others of u like fate. All night long marauders skulked about the business section of the city. A number of men were caught In the act of trying to rifle the safes and the ruins of Jewelry shops. The soldier guards fired two volleys. Every one of the thloves died In their tracks. The steel buildings In Sun Fran cisco stood not only the earthquake, but the fire, with but little damage, It 1b said that the mint and the post- ofllce are but little damn jed and sev eral privately owned buildings only suffered from fire In the Interior. In this fact, perhaps, there lies the prom ise of really fireproof cities in the fu ture, but private prudence and munici pal supervision should combine to se cure Hre-reslstlng construction In fu ture buildings without waiting for general devastation. It may be expected that the groat catastrophe at San Francisco will bring about some perturbation In the money market. The sudden draft on the resources of the Insurance com panies—both foreign nnd domestic— falling contemporaneously with the heavy borrowing of Russia, will be sure to create financial disturbance nnd possible stringency. There ig, however, no apprehension of panic. The general condition of trade and industry Is on too solid and secure a footing to be readily disturbed. KEEPING THE RECORD STRAIGHT. From the Savannah News. In some of his speeches, Hon. Hpke Smith is saying that Col. Estill, tho South Georgia candidate for governor, visited Atlanta .and appeared before the Railroad Commission and objected to any reduction in railroad rates. The distinguished gentleman, ,who is. or was, tho attorney for the. Atlanta Freight Bureau, hasn't told all he knows about Col. Estill and his oppo sition to the reduction in railroad rates; and a story half told often cre ates a wrong Impression.' The facts In the case are that Col. Estill, as president of the Savannah Chamber of Commerce, with other members of that respectable and con servative organization, went before the Railroad Commission and opposed the proposition to reduce freight rates by which Atlanta would have secured an advantage over Savannah and all oth er cities of the state. Some time ago the jobbing cities of the state outside of Atlanta witnessed another attempt to Injure thetr trade In the special favors dealt out to At lanta In stove rates for the benefit of Atlanta, and Its one stove manufac turer, at the expense of every other Jobbing city of Georgia. The attorl nCy-general admitted the gross dis crimination of the Railroad Commis sion In favor of Atlanta and after the case was carried into court, the fa vored rates granted to Atlanta were extended to other Jobbing cities of the state. This was the fight made by Col. Estill; as president of the Cham ber of Commerce; not, as Hon. Hoke Smith would have some believe, against reduced rates, but against special favors and discriminating rates In favor of Atlanta. The South Georgia candidate also opposed, and still opposes, the propo sition by which Atlanta, through a reduction In railroad rates, would be able to drive out of business every job bing house south and east of her In the state, among them being those of Albany, Americas, Bainbrldge, Colum bus, Cordele, Douglas, Dublin, Fitzger ald, Macon, Thomasvllle, Quitman, Valdosta, Waycross, etc. • Col. Estill Is not the only one who opposes this cheeky project by which some of Atlanta's merchants propose to secure a monopoly of the Jobbing trade of the state. The cities and towns whose interests have been threatened have taken notice of the matter. Much of this may be news to those who have not followed the ac tivity of the Atlanta Freight Bureau and Its attorney, Hon. Hoke Smith. The latter Is so provoked because the Railroad Commission refused to agree to his project to transfer all trade to Atlanta that he 1 has promised to re move Commissioner James M. Brown in the event of his election to the gov ernorship. A petition three times pre sented to the Railroad Commission, and as often denied, tells the tale of Atlantas’ persistent effortn to profit at the expense of the rest of the state. When Railroad Commissioner Jos. M. Brown, an Atlanta man, was ap pointed it was expected that he would do everything he consistently could for Ills home city. But when Atlanta’s unfair proposition for special favors came before Commissioner Brown he replied In effect; “I can’t do It; I am a railroad commissioner of Georgia, not of Atlanta.” When the merchants of the city of Griffin proposed a horizontal cut of 25 per cent. In freight rates Atlanta re fused to co-operate, on the ground that she didn’t want to share with any city In reduced rates. Atlanta wanted es pecially low rates for herself, and her self only. It would require pages of a news paper to go Into details with respect to Atlanta’s efforts to secure unfair advantages over other Georgia towns and cities through discriminating freight rates. And Mr. Smith Is, or was, the attorney of the organization that exerted Itself to tear down other Georgia towns for the benefit of At lanta. The South Georgia candidate neither personally, nor as president of the Chamber of Commerce, nor through the medium of his newspaper, ever said that the railroad rates were just or unjust, but ho has always advocated the principle of law under which the railroad commission was established, which Is based In even-handed justice between the roads and tho people. Un der the law there arc no favored cities and towns. Atlanta Is entitled to what every, other city Is entitled to, and nothing more Or less, the Hon. Hoke Smith to tho contrary notwithstanding. Tho South Georgia candidate believes in and insists upon a square deal for HEALTHY PLANT8 Require the Moat Careful Attention M Well as Good Soli.
