President Eoosevelt probably
realizes now that there are others
with big sticks—Bailey and Till
man, for instance.
Atlanta is organizing a new po
litical party upon socialistic lines.
It will be Atlanta’s with the name
blown in the bottle.
The Traders Insurance Co. which
recently went into the hands of a
receiver on account of the Frisco
fire, will settle up and resume
business.
The great Methodist conference
at Birmingham has gone upon rec
ord as favoring the new statement
of faith, much discussed by that
body since the conference met last
week.
Cordele has a Board of Trade
with a secretary at a salary of 8100
per month. They evidently re
gard their board as a very excel
lent investment, the Moultrie Ob
server thinks.
Another awful tragedy trans
pires in North Georgia, wherein a
crazed brute sheds innocent blood
before he is put out of the way.
The Clark tragedy is a terrible
one.
They are still finding the dead
body of “Pap” Gapon every morn
ing, and in different places. So
far 411 of his bodies have been
found in various towns all over
Kussia.
Teddy regards that rate bill
with the studied care that a mar
ried man would watch a flat iron
in the hands of an irate wife. It
may be the banana peel of his un
doing.
Here’s another hard blow. It
has been discovered that the
Egyptian mummy harbors mi
crobes and we must dispense with
these souvenirs, which only the
rich can afford.
And now the friends of Senator
Carmack may insist upon his ac
cepting the governorship—Bob
Taylor’s old job. This would
merely be a swapping of places,
even if Carmack is willing.
With his eloquence, and the
music of fiddle and melody of voice
Tennessee's Bob Taylor triumph
antly entered Congress, the first
and only Democrat to represent
his district in national counsels.
The Marietta Journal says it is
a pity that the gubernatorial race
cannot be conducted without one
part of the Democratic party as
persing the other part. This
“holier than thou” is Pharisaical.
Up in Deleware, the girls are
selling kisses at a dollar each for

The Southern field says Hoke
Smith is now on his second round

FLUNKED AT CRITICAL MOMENT
Assuming that Senator Allison's
amendment to the Hepburn bill,
upon which all the republican sen
ators as well as the president have
agreed, marks the end of active
contention over the rate bill, let us
see where we stand. There has
been some heavily-charged ammu
nition exploded during the rate
bill discussion. The president
started it off with a “ringing mes
sage” and burning eloquence has
been scorching the atmosphere ever
since.
Writers have infested Washing
ton excoriating the senate, Aldrich
has been denounced, Elkins blis
tered, Foraker pilloried and Spoon
er damned.
And now the pyrotechnics fade,
leaving us with the unpleasant
conviction that the public has
been buncoed.
The interstate commerce com
mission will have some authority
that it does not now possess, but
the law which is to be enacted
fails to provide imprisonment as
an ultimate punishment, confers
no authority over classifications,
which are prolific of injustice, nor
does it invest the commission with
sufficient authority to effectually
correct discrimination between lo
calities.
The president has fluked. That’s
the situation in a nutshell.
The chance for a splendid vic
tory the president has inglorious
forfeited. He had democratic sup
port enough to have finally won,
had he persevered, but he was
either narrow enough to disdain a
big victory won by democraticand,
fearing there might have been po
litical advantage for the minority
in the approaching campaign, else
he lost his nerve ai.d surrendered
at the display of power by those
of his republican compatriots who
hate him.
THE PROVISION AS TO PASSES
Ihe anti-free pass amendment
to the rate bill provides that no
railroad engaged in interstate com
merce shall directly or indirectly
give a free ticket, fiee pass or free
transportation to any person ex
cept to its own agents or employes,
or to ministers of religions, in
mates of hospitals, eloemosynary
or charitable institutions. Per
haps the phraesology of this
amendment may not have been in
tended to reflect on ministers of
the gospel, but to the average lay
man it looks as if grouping them
with paupers and invalids was
anything but complimentary treat
ment.
The gubernatorial campaign,
the Columbus Ledger declares, has
furnished bo fine a field for pre
varication the man who goes fish
ing and sees snakes has had no en
couragement to draw upon his im
agination.
.Surs»*.% it mi x »cry.
A prominent I.oinlof) clergyman, in
refertin;' to tin* fact that the tendency
to encourage the visitation by the cler
gy of the s’ck in acute eases is less than
it was,’remarked that "this is probably
one of the results of the more careful
system of modern nursing, which lays
stress on the importance of keeping the
sickroom quiet. The old idea was that
the friends of the sick person should
he allowed to crowd into the room
Now the nurse shuts them out, with
good results in the main. The nurse
has. therefore, hecoine an exceedingly
powerful force in regulating the ar
rangements of the modern household
when there is illness in the home, and
it often practically rests with her, more
than with the doctor, to determine
whether the patibnt shall be visited by
the parish priest.”
Cartons Chinese Plajinj: Cards.
A pack of Chinese playing cards is a
genuine curiosity. They are generally
printed in black on thin cardboard, the
average width and breadth being about
that of the finger of a human being. In
some eases they are only half an inch
broad and about three and a half Inch
es in length. The length, no odds what
the size, is always at least six times
that of the width. Some of the packs
have queer representations of our
"kings,’ “queens” and “knaves” stamp
ed upon them in black. Others are dec
orated with the figures of animals,
birds and fishes. Those used by man
darins and h.gli officials bear only fig
ures of mythological creatures.
He Had Been There.
The clergyman was holding a chil
dren’s service at a continental resort.
During the lesson he had occasion to
catechise his hearers on the parable
of the unjust steward. “What is a
steward?” he asked. A little boy, who
had arrived from England a few days
before, held up his hand. “He Is the
man, sir,” he replied, with a reminis
cent look on his face, “who brings you
a basin.”—London Globe.
NUNNALLY ON FREE PASSES
In his speech over at Washing
ton, Monday, Dr. Nunnally made
the following lively raps at those
who berated the use of free passes
in Georgia:
“Hoke Smith has raised a great
hue and cry about free passes, and
yet he has ridden farther on free
passes than all the citizens of
Wilkes county put together. If
free passes influence a newspaper,
Colonel Estill ought to be able to
tall us about it. If they corrupt
legislators Clark Howell and Jim
Smith ought to know it. If they
disable thejudieiary Judge Bussell
should be able to say so. If they
degrade a lawyer, Hoke Smith’s
testimony should be ably accepted
for he ought to know. I never
rode a mile on a free pass in my
life, but Ido say if a man hasn’t
got backbone and moral stamina
enough to stand against a free pass
he ought not to be governor.”
(Applause and cheers.)
TOO MANY EGGS IN NEST
The Chicago Tribune, apropos
of the failure of the big fire insur
ance companies of that city, on ac
count of losses sustained in San
Francisco, remarks that it might
reasonably have been assumed a
month ago that it was unwise to
risk in a single city losses which
exceed the available assets of the
insurance company. There is a
law which forbids a national bank
to loan to one individual more than
10 per cent of its capital, yet it is
no more dangerous lor a bank to
make larger loans than it is to risk
all the capital of an insurance com
pany in one city, and that an extra
dangerous one. But no one thought
ofita month ago. Quite likely
more attention will be paid to this
subject hereafter.
ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
StmOing For a Seal la Parliament
Is Expensive.
Although there are strict laws
against bribery in the English elec
tions, standing for a seat in pailia
ment is by no means an inexpensive
matter. Even a small constituency
will cost not less than $3,000, and the
expenses run from that up to SIO,OOO.
At one election a candidate paid out
on an average of SSO for each vote,
but this Is regarded as the record
price, the cost running as low as $1
a bead.
The purchasing of a vote disqualifies
the candidate, even though he may be
innocent of any participation in the
bribery, and as a result candidates
and their workers—“agents” they call
them in England—are most careful
that their actions shall be above sus
picion.
Dinners may be served a constitu
ency, but payment even to the women
of a family Is regarded as bribery, and
the candidates are compelled to trust
