EXTRAVAGANCE AND IMPERIAL
ISM.
Among the last lingering echoes
of the Republican National con
vention were the boasts of Senator
Foraker and other orators over the
"economy” of the Mckinley Ad
ministration. It might have been
assumed that upon this point that
at least the Republican polit cia s
would ve a becoming silence
tn presence di all the evidences of
waste and extravagance, says the
Philadelphia Record, in the com
parison there is not a former ad
ministration since the formation of
this Government that would not be
he distinguished for its wise econ
omy in expenditure.
The appropriations for the next
fiscal year amount in round figures
to the enormus sum of $710,000,-
000, This is for the mere ordinary
expenditures of the Government,
and does not include the Nicara
gua canal with a cost of $140,000,-
000, and the Steamsnip Subsidy
bill, with an expenditure of 9,000,-
©OO annually for ten years to come.
Nor does it include the cost of the
new battleships, amounting to 56,-
000,000; nor the cost of river and
harbor improvements and of public
buildings for which the appropri
ation has been postponed to next
session. All this delayed appropia
uon belonging to the admini-tra
toion programme would have swol
len the expenditure to a billion
dollars or more. But what is ac
tually appropriated reveals an ex
travagance f.tr exceeding that of
notorious billion dollar congress.
Coming to details, there is
scarcely a department of adminis
tration that is not implicated in
reckless and wasteful expenditure
©f public money, whether that of
the American people or of the im
poverished Cubans. Hardly have
the postal scandals in Cuba sub
sided than is discovered a hideous
job in the educational department
of the island, covering numerous
high salaries for supernumerary
professors in the College of Hav
ana. On the heels of this comes
ike accouut of the scandalons be
stowal of fat sineenres upon Ad
ministration favorites in the Paris
Exposition. In order to fasten
politicians out of a job upon the
public Treasury, commission after
commission has been created for
file performance of services for

Of the purchase of steamships
at extravagant prices for the Gov
ernment by politicians having a
‘ pull” and of the wasteful refitting
of these transports the scandalous
s'ory is not yet half told. The la
te t is the conversion af the yacht
M ivflower as a floating palace for
Charles H. Allen, the carpetbag
satrap of Porto Rico. The New
York Herald of Sunday gives an
elaborate description of the ex
quisite rosewood furniture of an
tique design, the woodwork of the
staterooms finish-d in white and
gold; the canopy bed with its crim
st 11 satin damask; the luxurious
Assyrian rugs and carpets, and the
library with its 2000 volumes in
expensive bindings. In keeping
.yitli this are all the rest of the fur
nishings—the French cut glass,
t e china and Dresden porcelain
and the sumptuous bath of an im
perial yacht which Heliogabalus
might have envied. All this, too,
for a plain Massachusetts paper
manufacturer and politician. But
whilst a simple Republican might
disdain such ostentation and lux
ury it was doubtless deemed expe
dient to impress the native subjects
of Porto Rico with the magnificence
of the Government to which they
have become annexed.
The American people have been
patient and long suffering under
burdens of needless taxation, but
the murmurs that have at last risen
on all sides bode no good for the
Republican politicians who have
inaugurated a system of extrava
gance and waste which bears with
weight on the toiliug masses.
What the workers in the mines
and mills and fields are obliged to
pay in indirect taxes for the support
of such a system deprives them and
their families inevitably of many
of the comforts and even necessar
ies of decent living. But after the
carnival of extravagance comes
the sober second thought. Thou
sands of the American people who
have followed the administration
and sustained it up to a certain
point are now convinced of return
ing to the maintenance of the dem
ocratic institutions of the land.
Asia contains half the earth’s
population and the white man’s
burden there is likely to be a sub
ject of concern throughout the
c .lining century, says the Globe
Democrat.

PROSPECT OF BIG STRIKE.
Coal Miners at Birmingham May Go
Out July Ist
Memphis, Tenn., June 23.—A
special to the Commercial-Appeal
from Birmingham, Ala., says:
‘‘Contrary to general expectat
ions, the indictaious are that the
Birmingham district is to witness
a general coal mines strike on July
1. Such a strike would involve 10,
000 miners directly and the closing
down of the mines would throw
nearly 10,000 other men out of
work because such action would
compel the furnaces and other
large coal consuming industries to
cease operations. The state min
er’s convention has been in session
here since Wednesday formulating
the miner’s demands, including a
new wage scale. The details as to
the scale have not yet been made
public and will not be until thecon
erence between both parties has
been concluded. The present mi
nimum is 45 cents per ton when
pig iron is selling at SB, and the
maximum is 55 cents per ton for
mining, when iron is selling at $lO
or over. The miners are now re
ceiving this maximum and the
price of iron is on the decline.
Leading operators say they are
unable to grant a raise and they
even intimate they may not be able
to-obtain the old scale.
TWO ARE FROM THE SOUTH-
Correspondent Furnishes Infor
mation About Missionaries.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
Seale, Ala., June 23rd
When the first Baptist mission
ary from the Uuited States to
China sailed in 1835, a few years
after that he buried his wife in
Macoa, a port on the Chinese caast
belonging to Portugal. When he
went to China a second time, this
time as the first missionary sent
there by the Southern Baptist Con
vention in 1845, his second wife
died a few years after, and was
buried in Shanghai- Most of the
southern Baptists as well as the
southern Methodist missionaries in
China have labored in a line run
ning between Shanghai and Macoa,
which is the reason why we hear
of few southern missionaries in
danger in the provinces around Pe
kin,as there are few working that
far north. In fact, we have heard
of but two southern missionaries
where friends cannot hear of their
safety, and both of them are from
Georgia
Rev. Joseph Bailie, of Augusta,
when last heard from, January
15th, 1899, was professor of Eng
lish in the Imperial university of
Pekin. For eight years previous
he was in Soochow, a missionary
from the northern Presbyterian
church. His sister, Miss M. E.
Bailie, 450 Telfair street, Augusta,
is very anxious to hear any news
from him.
The o.her Georgia missionary
about whom his friends are anx
ious is Rev. W. D. King of Sav
annah, who, when last heard from,
was at Tai Au Fu. The viceroys
of the three great Yang Tse pro
vinces, as well as the two of Hu
nan and Hu Pe, in which are Can
ton and Shanghai, while cut off
from Pekin, have cabled Wu Ting
Fung, the Chinese minister at
Washington, that they are protect
ing all foreigners in their five pro
vinces, and will be able to continue
to do so. The viceroy of Hu Nan
is said to be cutting off the head
of every man he suspects of being
a boxer in his province. The wise
Li Hung Chang, who is now vice
roy of Canton, has been summoned
by the empress of Pekin to assist
in straightening out matters; but
he prefers to remain at Canton,
where he will be of great service to
the few foreigners who are in peril
and it may be that he wall be able
to save these five provinces, which
contain over a hundred millions of
people, when the impending col
lapse of the Chinese empire comes.

River Above the Danger Line-
Much Harm Done to the Crops.
Macon, Ga., June 25. —Owing to
the recent heavy rains the Ocmul
gee river at this point is now far
above the danger line, and is a rag
ing torrent. This morning the
lorce of the water tore away one
half of the substructure of anew
bridge in course of construction.
The loss will be large. All the
streams in this section are at flood
tide, but thus far trains, with the
exception of the Atlanta division
of the Southern, are running on
time.
Reports from all sections of the
state show great damage to fruit
and other crops and the damage to
bridges and farm buildings will be
enormous. The cotton crop is
considerably injured.
Advices have been received of
several persons being drowned in
attempting to ford swollen streams.
West Point, Ga. June 25. —The
heavy rains of the past few days
have been playing havoc with
farm operations throught this sect
ion. The rainfall from 7 o’clock
yesterday morning until 8 o’clock
last evening was 4.65 inches. The
Chattahooche river at this point is
out of its banks and only lacks
three feet of being as high as it
was last February. The farmers
along the banks are heavy losers.
