A TOTTERING EMPIRE.
The crisis which the world expected
would rapidly follow the defiant action
of the Russian douma on Saturday In
not only reiterating Its affront to the
czar, but in demanding the resignation
of the ministry, has been temporarily
averted. But the course adopted by
the government yeBterday only post
pones what Beeras Inevitable—a civil
war In which the masses will be ar
rayed against the bureaucracy, and
which may terminate In the downfall
of the empire.
The decision of the government to
Ignore the affront of tho parliament
and at the same time treat the de
mand for the resignation of the min-
Istry as a matter beyond that body's
competence'was a clever piece of di
plomacy, not to say strategy, yet It Is
an evidence of weakness which the
proletariat and the world at large will
not fall to observe.
Just when a clash was expected, the
czar has dodged the Issue and again,
resorted to temporizing and delay.
But the Slavic parliament has drawn:
the line sharply and vylll only take
courage at the weak-kneed policy of
the government which the masses of
Russia now thoroughly despise.
There Is more Internal trouble In
Btore for the Russian empire, and a
revolution of greater proportions than
over before witnessed In that country
seems to be drawing near.
WATERMELON VS. CHICKEN.
Watermelons and chickens;' the
relative Importance of the two Georgia
products, religiously speaking. This
seems to be a fair statement of the
features pad nature of a rather sec
tional controversy that has arisen be
tween tho Savannah Press anil the
Grllfin Nows.
While the peach belt Is split In half
by tho new line dividing Georgia Into
two dioceses, the Savannah Press re-
jotcos in the fact that the biggest and
best watermelons grow on Its stdo 6f
the church line. #
“True," retorts the Griffin News,
"but tho host and most chickens grow
up this way, which Is of a great deal
moro religious Importance."
on the committee. Something must be
done.
So the Atlanta Journal called a turn
In the tune. Sunday It labored hard
with the Populist brethren. It told
them that after all the pledge was all
right, and that they should walk up
like little men, swallow It, and vote
for Its candidate for governor; that
the obligation to support the nominees
—“both Btate and national”—did not
refer to the presidential election In
1908, but referred to the congressional
election this year.
Now wasn’t that cute!
Took It all back.
The “future loyalty pledge” 1b then
all a myth. The discovery makes the
Journal so happy It could all but dance
"the short dog’.’ In Its very exuberance
of Joy.
After nil there Is no ’"pledge of fu
ture loyalty”—none at all! Glory be
to Watson!
But the Journal has convinced the
McRae Enterprise, and the Fitzgerald
Enterprise, and several others, that
there Is a base "pledge of future loy
alty,” and the Journal will find It hard,
we fear, to get these brethren to shift
as suddenly as It has done.
Nevertheless the Atlanta, “ hyme
hyster” has raised a new tune, and
all are expected to rise and sing; a
Bhort out to long metre soekdology.
It all shows that the whole of the
racket from start to finish Is a loosely
played game of politics, .engineered
for the purpose of capturing the Popu
list vote, and casting It solidly for a
certain faction In a Democratic pri
mary- If there Is the least Sincerity
about It—tf the Populists are so “pa
triotic," and the Democratic leaders so
“corrupt”—the wonder grows, as the
question rises and shines like a dead
mackerel In the sun, why these accus
ers of the one, and praise-singers o£
the other, were not .Populists from the
start. But so far from being Populists
originally the bell-wethers of the flock j
were the chief persecutors of the
saints of Populism. Their conversion
has been as sudden as the conversion
of Sol of Tarsus without ttge attendant
miracle. The light which encompassed
them about seems to have been shed
upon them from —— Thomson, Geor
gia. And their apologies, their repent
ance went up to Thomson, Geor
gia.
Oh, weak humanity! how very weak
you are when the lust of political
power presses down upon your earthy
parts!

A count of noses is said to show
that there are decided majorities In
both houses of congress in favor of a
sea-lovel canal. Yet these majorities,
though convinced of the correctness of
their position, propose to leave the
matter to President Roosevelt, who is
known to favor a canal with locks at
: .the present time, liable as he may bo
to qhange his opinion. A congress
which thus deliberately abdicates one
of its highest legislative functions
condemns itself before the whole
country.
- Mdbs by j special train—that’s the
latest. Our telegraphic dispatches yes
terday reported the lynching of Rob
ert T. Rogers, a white man. at Tallu
lah, La., on Monday night. There had
been a change of venue and a lot of
exasperating delay in the trial of Rog
ers. who had murdered a merchant
named Jesse Brown at Girard, Rich
land parish, and the people, or some
of them, concluded t.o take the case
Into their own hands. The mob went
to Tallulah on a special train from the
west over the Vicksburg, Shreveport
& Pacific railroad. The mob appeared
after 10 o’clock and came fully pre
pared with locksmiths. who had no
trouble breaking into the jail. The
jatl was unguarded and tho sheriff,
who lived some distance away, was not
aware of what was going on until he
saw the mob leading the man off.
Rogers wafc strung up to a telegraph
pole and ns soon as they felt assured
he was dead, the mob quickly dis
persed. Rogers’ crime was a most
atrocious one, and the case had been
pending In the courts since 1904. This
Is another hint to the courts.
• An experiment recently conducted
at Yale seems to settle affirmatively a
much discussed proposition, which,
.jsrhile it had many believers, was yet
I opposed by some. The experiment, as
I
. the minutes state, consisted In finding
“a timer food instinct.” Nine Yale
! graduates dieted four months upon
foods named by the appetite, the quan
tity being limited only by desire; but
tiie food was eaten'slowly and thor-
, oughly masticated before being sent
r to the stomach. The result was, great
er physical and mental strength and
activity than by the usual process of
• “bolting” half masticated food. More-
. over the amount consumed was 10 to
40 per cent, less, with endurance and
working power inerdased from 15 to
100 per cent

The Savannah Press alludes to “Old
Dougherty, tho stronghold of solid
Democracy.” Ahem!
A Change of Tune.
From tho Macon Telegraph,
When the State Democratic Execu
tive Committee adopted a rule that
voters In tlie primary must pledge to
support tlie Democratic nominees,
“both state and national,” a great out
cry went up from certain quarters
against, an alleged pledge “for all time
to come.” How they heat 4he tom
toms, ayd sounded the doodlesacks!
This “pledge of future loyalty,” they
syid, was an “insult” to the Populists,
and so forth, and po forth. They
rubbefi it in so hard and so often that
the unreconstructed Populists began to
take it to heart a little more than was
expected for them to do. They had
been convinced that tlielr feelings had
been hurt, and they began to talk
about preserving their organization
and putting out the r own ticket. But,
hello I that would not do! That would
defeat the object of the whole attack
