THE AMERICAS WEEKLY TIMES--RECORDER: FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1902.
LOOKS LIKE OU& TIKE AGAIN.
There is a strong feeling not only
r.raong the Democrats, of whom it
eight be laid that the with is father
t o the tbongbt, bat atro ambng the Re
publicans, that tbe next oongreae will
be Democratic. This resalt, it is be
lieved, will be brongbt about not only
because of tbe alienation of the people
from tbe folly and extravagance of Re
publican measures and policies, bnt
also because of the precedents, which
are supposed to govern in the matter of
uajorities on no known theory except
:bat tbe popular will, as other forms of
motion, is supposed to proceed ryth-
mically.
In 1872, Orant was elected president
by an overwhelming majority that car
ried tbe honse of representatives to
gether with the presidency. /
In 1894, the reaction set in and a
Democratic bonse was elected, fore-
t hallowing the election of Tilden with
a Democratic bonseagain in 1870. There
is a precedent that alarms the Repnblt
cans when they think of tbe election of
1902 and 1004. Again, the Demoorats
carried ti)e bouse in 1878, in the middle
c f Hayes' term, and also in 1882, in tbe
middle of Arthnr’a term. This seems
more than a coincidence. Note again
that in 1890, in the middle of Harrison'
term, a Democratic congress was again
elected, foreshadowing Cleveland'
election to his second term in 1892.
Does not that seem to change the ooin
ci dence into a certainty?
In the middle of tbe terms of Orant,
Bayes, Artbnr and Harrison the people
elected a Democratic house. Will they
not elect a Democratic bonse in 1902,
tbe middle of Roosevelt's term?
The present congress is not a popu-
lar congress. There is good Demo
cratic material in it, bnt tbe Repnbll
can majority has not distinguished it'
sell. Legislation for the benefit of the
classes at the. expense of tbe masses
has been its sole occupation, with tbe
despotic gag role to cat off debate.
The people know when they are not
represented, bnt misrepresented,
that, rstber than in the precedents
theory, lies the surest ground upon
which to base predictions of Democratic
victory.
HEAVY LOSS TO BOTH
BRIYISIUND BOERS
late Transvaal Confliot Most
Disastrous One.
A special to theSavannah News from
Zebnlon, Pike county, says: “The
following telegram was sent to Col.
Dupont Uneny, candidate for Gov-
ernor today by ( the Qnerry club of
Zebnlon: 'Querry Club met today. Ad'
vise you come out of the race before em
barrasslng friends any farther. Take
our advice.’” The Telegraph wiredlast
uigbt to its correspondent at Zebnlon
for a confirmation and lie replied that
the dispatch was genuine afid the state
ment made was true.
Why does the skilled mechanic get
$5 per day for his services and the com'
mon laborer $1 ? Why does one farmer
clear $50 or $100 per acre, while many
others barely come ont even at tbe etid
of the year? The answers are easy.
One is learned in bis art, while the
other labors as his ancestors have for
generations; one studies his soil, his
crops and the market*, while the other
labors only with his arms, legs and
Inn bar mnacles.
It is all well enongb to talk about
Democrats presenting “an unbroken
front to tne enemy,” bnt who can tell
ne how to do it? It strikes ns that
neither tbe Republican nor Democratic
party has enoh a thing in stock as an
unbroken front. We might go at ’em
with a repaired front, and that is about
the best we can see.—Montgomery
Advertiser.
Tbe Macon Telegraph is jnst now
paying its respects to Candidate Qnerry
in a very pointed manner. Mr. Querry
stands no shadow of a chance of being
nominated for governor ofr Georgia.
Watch this prediction. He is too too-
too.—Cordele News.
MANY OFFICERS FELL, IN FIGHT

Mounted Rifles Had Four Officers
Wounded, Nine Men Killed, Forty
Wounded.

Isli losses in jh>- engagement In the
neighborhood of Harts river, in the
southwestern extremity of the Trans

eral Delarey's defeat of General Meth
uen. The Boers, who are command
ed by Generals Kemp and Potgteter,
attacked with great determination,
hut the Canadian contingent which
was the last to arrive in South Africa
from Canada, and two squadrons of
yeomanry, under Colonel Cookson and
the artillery nml mounted rifles, under
Colonel Kelr, presented such a stout
front that the burghers were finally
forced to retreat.

Second Canadian mounted rifles had
four officers wounded, nine men killed
and 40 men wounded.

the United 8tates his check for over
$500, representing the contributions of
the ministers and others In Sweden

ed States minister has rtlsed this sum
chiefly among the diplomatic and eon
aular corps of Sweden and Norway
and among frlenda of America at
Stockholm.
Cave-In Threatens Dwellings.
Butte, Mont., April 5.—A serious
eave-ln In the 300-foot tunnel of the
East Cotnsa mine last night on lower
Main street threatens the destruction
of many dwellings and endangered tbe
lives of a score of miners. There Is a
gap now 100 feet long, and It Is con
stantly enlarging, vast chunks of sur

GERMAN8 COME TO GEORGIA.
Colony In Glynn County Is on the
Increase.
Brunswick, Ga., April 5.—Seventeen
additional members of the GermaA
American colonists have arrived via
the Southern railway and gone out to
their settlement a few miles from tilts
city. This makes about 100 increase
of the citizenship of Glynn county
within a lew weeks, and of that sturdy
class of people who. more Ilian any
ether within the past 50 years, havi
developed tie great nqythwcst coun
try.
It has been the dream of land own
ere and railroads and emigrant agents
to get a movement of German emigra
tion flowing to this country through
southern ports and this Is the first
time ft has taken definite shape, al
though efforts have been made in the
r«ft.
These people are coming from
province in southern Russia, which Is
about the same parallel latitude as
our own, and. therefore, there will lie
little trouble of acclimation.
There Is no telling to what propor
tions this movement may grow, and
the Glynn county authorities have de
cided to do all In their power to aid
In this matter by having the lands
about their colony settlepient drained
to as to prevent-slckners and fever
during the coming summer. These
people hare their own schools and their
own churches and are apparently good
nafured and happy.

Colonel Huguenln Writes to Colonel
Cann About It
Savannah. April 5.—Macon wants to
have the encampment of military rifle
teams this summer. Colonel Ed Hu-
guentn. of the Second regiment, has
written Colonel George T. Cann, In
spector general of rifle practice, under
whose direction the shoot la to be
held, asking that he name Magon as
the place. It la urged by Colonel Hu
guentn that Macon la centrally located
and should therefore have the shoot.
Colonel Capn has not yet replied, tie
will go to Atlanta within a few days,
when be will talk over the shoot with
the governor. There has been $3,000
the military appropriation allotted
for the expenses of the shoot, which
will be held upon a more Important
scale this year than' ever before.
Teams from every company In the
state will participate.
Though Colonel Candler would give
no expression as between Savannah
and Macon, it is probable that Savan
nah will get the shoot. The fact that
Macon is centrally located does not
offset tbe advantage that Is Savan
nah s through the vastly superior
range that this city has. There Is
nowhere in the state so well equipped
and complete a range aa that at Sa
vannah.
COLLEGE FOR JE8UIT&
Tampa Bay Hotel May Be Used aa
Such.
Tampa, Fla., April 4.—Negotiations
are in progress by which the Tampa
Bay hotel, which was built by the late
Henry Plant at a cost of $1,000,000,
together with Its extensive grounds
and annex buildings may be convert
ed Into a Jesuit college.
Mrs. Plant, widow of the deceased
millionaire, has proposed to Morton F.
Plant, Mr. Plant's son by his first
wife, that if he will donate hiB inter
est in the property to the Catholic
church she. will do likewise and will
also endow the college with $1,000,01*0.
Morton Plant, under the division of
the estate, owns a large per cent of
the hotel property‘and tils consent
would be necessary to carry out Mrs.
Plant's plan.
At the dqse of the present tourist
season Morton Plant refused to sign
a contract with the management for
another season, owing to the pending
negotiations. Mrs. Plant la a devout
Catholic and she .la anxious to carry
out the plan to establish In this city
the largest Jesuit Institution in this
country.
The official* of thp Plant Investment
company are said to be opposed to the
Idea, but If Mrs. Plant succeeds
getting Morton Plant's consent there
Is but little doubt that the Tampa
Bay property will undergo a trans
formation from an institution of pleas
ure to one of learning.
