Tin: SOUTH AMERICAN ATT1TUD*
Rumors have been plentiful from the
time sines the Spanlsh-Atnerlcan war
that the statei of Hou^h America har
bor suspicion and are hot very friend
ly In their disposition toward this coun
try. It ha* also become certainly
known that European countries are
boatlns us In the game of building up
a paying trade with Bouth America.
Germany, moreover. Is.colonising Ura-
zll at a pretty promising rate, having
sent fully 300.000 settlers to that coun
try. and this. It Is believed, will make
still stronger the ties binding the south
ern continent to Europe.
All this adds Interest to an expres
sion of Mouth American sentiment con
tained In an article by Senor Qransac,
librarian of the national library In Bu
enos Ayres, reported In the New York
Evening Post a short time since. Dis
cussing the Monroe doctrine. Honor
Grsnsac makes much of tho serloua
modification In the altitude of the lurg
er Bouth American nations toward the
United Btates resulting from latter-day
"Diming Yankee Imperialism." He de
Clares that the mom Important and
growing republics of South America,
such aa Chile, Argentina nnd Brasil,
consider themselves much more In dan
gor from ths United Slate* than from
Europe. “These republic*/’ so
“have no fear of civilised and Indus
trial Europe—tho only Europe
know'. Hhe exchanges her goods for
ours without trying to shut out our
products, nnd sends us thousands
sons every year to become full dtl
sens and defenders of their new coun
try." <1
The larger South American states,
according to Honor Oranaac, now need
no protection against Europe, and
therefore, he frankly adds, the Mnn
roe doctrine Is "played out.” Discus
sing the' moral effect of our recently
Inaugurated colonial policy, Brnor
Grsnsac declares that an attack has
been made "not upon our autonomy,
hut upon our political beliefs, and an
attack dellvorsd by the very pcopto
who lmd Impressed them upon us, by
both precept and example; we nnd our
selves U'wlldered like a,scholar In tho
presence of the apostasy of his teacher.
Having lost all faith In the apostle,
we are to danger of losing faith in hla
go-iwl. The historian'will not regard
It aa the smallest of the crimes of
American Imperialism that It gave this
profound shock to the souls of us
South Americans." All this la sad In
deed. hut If the South Americana are
strong enough as wsll as ungrateful
enough to regard the Monroe .doctrine
as "played out." ws may at least hop*
that their souls nr* not entirely shat
tered and that they will survive the
shock which the spectacle of the btial
ness of their protectors has caused
them.
Hut. overlooking their manifest un
becoming spirit, and accepting the con
dltlona as outlined, II may pertinently
ho asked what la to be don* about It?
One thing that can be don* la to fol
low Europe's example and establish
freer trade relation* with Bouth Amer
ican ooentries, thus taking away their
reproach that we "shut out” their pro
ducts. Much a policy will pay us In
the long run better than II will pay
them. Another thing that can and
should he don* Is to make them un
derstand thst there I* no real ground
tor their suspicion that wo covet their
territory and art only awaiting a fa
vorable opportunity lo march In and
like possession.
Because this country, without pre
meditation and without real power to
Chooae to do otherwise, fall heir to the
remnant of Bpaln'a empire, It doe* not

An Ottawa. Ont, dispatch gives the
following quotation from "a remarka

published In that city by the Hon. Da

What the Canadian critic pays of
New England Is confirmed by reports
from other sources, but luckily New
England Is not the United Btates, as
the Hon. Mr. Mills seems to suppose,
being, on the contrary, only‘a very

T HE ANNOUNCEMENT of Han.
Flem duBlgnon’s withdrawal
from the gubernatorial race on
account of III health has given our pol
iticians something to talk about.
Mr. duBIgnon had no personal oppo
sition here, but there Is a strong locsl
sentiment In favor of a candidate from
the northern or middle aectlon of the
state. Attorney-General Terrell has a
large following, but It is believed that
Hon. J. Pope Brown Is in the lead, and
will be the winning man, unless some
thing unexpected occurs.
As a rule, the business classes of the
cities and towns art opposed to stale
prohibition, and they do not look fa
vorably upon a candidate who desires
lo make hi* race mainly upon that Is
sue. This weakens Hon. Dunont Querry.
If we are lo have a prohibition candi
date, why not bring Hon. Beaborn
Wright or Rev. Bam Jones Into the
race?
Hon. I/>n Livingston’s statement
thst J. Pope Brown favors state pro
hibition la doubted by many. Doubt
less Mr. Brown. If elected -governor,
would faithfully execute a prohibition
law, but our local option system works
so satlrfactory that he Is not likely to
favor any experiment that would over
throw It.

about 11:30 a. m. Returning, trains will

Editor Howell of the Constitution Is
In dead earnest when he says that he
does -not propose to think of the gov
ernorship for at least four years to
come. It Is reasonably certain that he
will go to the elate senate again, and
will be re-elected president of that
body.
The rumor that Editor Estlll of the
Savannah Newt will be in the race
causes some of the go,sips to say that
Col. AV. A. Hemphill will be brought
out by hls friends.
But this Is only Idle talk. The col
onel Is well satisfied with hi* honors
as on Industrial leader, and it Is safe
to say that he will not enter politics.
It will be very hard to persuade an
Atlanta man to mako the race next
year. Hon. Hoke Smith has been ap
proached. but he laughs st the sugges
tion. He Is too busy with hls law
practice, and with other buslners In
terests, to accept the office, even If It
should be unanimously tendered to him.
Hon. Porter King Is one of the
strongest men In this section of the

platform did not mean that he would
attempt to revive any of Its dead Is
sues.
In hi* Interview he said that he be
lieved In political parties meeting is
sues as they arise. Some new Issues
overshadow free sliver and we must
give these the preference. He referred
to trusts, Imperialism, bosslam and ex

Col. Albert Cox made a remark this
morning that set me to thinking.
"There Is so much personation In pol
itics at present that I have no desire
to plunge Into the political cauldron.
Nobody seems to be propounding any
policy to either redeem the party, or
forward our state, or tho south In po

Thla Is the truth. We aro wrangling
too much about the claims of our fa-

creasing rivalry between localities for
the promotion of their leading men.

people here began to despair of ever
securing thla road. The Information
given out last night that all arrange

day a regular schedule would be put on

seaport was therefore a most welcome
surprise.

of three routes to Savannah.

Inning* nnd Scored One Each.
• LEESBURG, Ga., July 18.—Yesterday
afternoon at baseball park, Albany,
th*re was one of the best and fastest
grumes of ball ever played on a South
ern diamond. For eleven innings only
one run could be made on either side,
and everybody was disappointed when
the game was called on account of
darkness. Fleming, Forrester and
Brown pitched fine ball, nnd the In
field and outfield of both teams was
perfect. Isoesburg scored their run in
the third Inning, when Yoemnn toed
the plate and went to first on a safe
hit over second. Martin hit to Moore
and was thrown out at first. Ragan
hit safe and Yoeman scored. Albany
made their run In the sixth Inning on
nn error. The features of the gam*
were McAfee’s sensational fielding nnd
Brown’s base running.

a tt-ialtbre pistol entering ths stomach
of Hood, from which wound he died on
the 16th following. Hood had no pis
tol. and the stuck of Tripp was un-
provoked.
It Is expected that Bheriff Prince will
arrive today or tomorrow from Ala
bama with Tripp. Few In this city
know that Tripp has been arrested, it
being th* desire of Sheriff Prince to
get hack tn Georgia before hls Georgia
relatives were aware of hls arrest
thinking thst ro.rltily they would ad-
\!«e him lo resist being brought back
to this state.
The arrest of Tripp makes twelve
capital eases to be tried In thi* county
at the July term of the superior court,
“hlih convene* next Monday.
