The physicians say that it is one ot the most wholesome of all fruits, and the good digestion of the American people is due in no small degree to the fact that we are a nation of apple eaters. Editor Dupont Guerry contin ues to hurl his phillipics at the head of Clark Howell the editor of the Atlanta Constitution. It appears to us thrt in time the helms man of the Georgian would become ashamed of the fact that Howell pays no attention to his denuncia tions.

We thank you kind sirs for giving us the privilege of doing the thing which you never had the right to say nay. Your evident kindly spirit is only exceeded by your imperti nence. ^ Mrs. Julia O’Toole has been the subject of much press comment because a supreme court in one of our northern states reversed a de cision of a lower court because the former held that Mrs. O’Toole was “good looking” and had therefore unduly influenced the jury. This is the first American woman whose beauty has been put on re cord in the Supreme court decis ions of any of our states, ^Though Mrs. O’Toole has lo«t some money by the decision she has gained a victory from a beauty point of view, Castro’s resignation of the pres idency of Venezuela was unani mously rejected by the National congress of that country. Castro must be a billionaire to be able to bribe every member of the legisla ture. The politicians in this country know better. They only pay out enough to gain a bare ma jority and thus save coin and at the same time lessen the sem- blance of bribery. There is a lot for this bold bad man to still learn. Much to our surprise when Sen ator Tillman was lecturing in Minneapolis a short time ago on the race question his very de cided statements were greeted with rouds of applause, The Min neapohs Journal the next day in formed the world that the north had decided to let the south set tle the race question for herself, The Irish leaders are willing to ac cept the bill with a few modifica tions. They believe that the a- mount allowed the land lord is too much. If the bill is passed, and it is believed that it will, it will be a long stride towards home rule for Ireland. A consummation de voutly to be wished. The arbitration board of the strike difficulty in its award gave to the miners a number of conces sions and it is claimed by the Un ionists that the award is a recog nition of their organization. The board took a middle ground in ma king its awards, giving to each side some of the things demanded. It is probable that this middle course will keep down the trouble in the anthracite fields for some time though of course neither side is thoroughly pleased. The Irish Land Bill has recent ly been introduced in the house of Commons in England. The bill provides for the loaning of money to the tenants on the estates of the landlords in Ireland with which funds the tenants are to buy the land on which they live. The money is to be loaned by the govs ernment at a small rate of interest. it gives us the ague to think about it. The gove r nor of New York is to be sent by the state to attend the dedication of the build ings of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition on April 30and May 1 and 2. The trip will cost $50,- 000.00 and the state of New York foots the bill. Since we can’t afford an exhibit to this great fair we think it well for the legislature to pass a bill forb.ding the pub lishing of any such extravagance by papers of this, our empire state of the South. Secretary ot War Root has ig nored the charges made by Estes G. Rathbone against Gen. Wood, in which it is alleged that Gen. Wood received presents from Span ish gentlemen who were conduct ing the demoralizing gambling game of Jai Alai. We think that in ignoring the charge the Secre tary of war has done Gen. Wood an irreparable injury. While we do not believe that Gen. Wood is guilty of taking a virtual bribe, if he is guilty he should be brought to justice and if as we believe, the charge was brought against the soldier through malice, it is only due him that he should be entire ly exonerated and every stigma of doubt removed from the public mind. It is believed by all in au thority that the presents accepted by Gen. Wood, were from persons who were not interested in the game. At any rate the friends of the distinguished soldier hold that it in no wise affected any legisla tion which might h ave had any bearing upon the promoters of the gambling scheme. The New York World, discuss ing England's financial scandal, says: “That Whitaker Wright, now under arrest in this city, has as shareholders in his burst bubble of corporation finance, Premier Balfour, the Earl of Warwick and a score-of lesser lords and notables as exclusively shown in the World yesterday, will shock the British public, but less than if it were not accustomed to the spectacle of noble earls acting as guinea pigs and long lineaged viscounts scram bling for Lombard street commis sions. A deeper wound is felt in the fact the King’s physician, Sir James Reid, and even his own brother, the Duke of Connaught, are caught in the same failure. Thus is not only one near to roy alty, but royalty Itself implicated, with however innocent motives, in an enterprise that at its best could only have been reckless gambling, that at its worst has impoverished thousands. It can not tail to harm in public estima tion in and out ot England ,the dynasty and monarchy.” Notice.
