If the best Informed financier in the

attempt npon the Ufe of the President

anything like a panlo In stocks or led to
a run on the banks he wonld probably

of Monday devotes several columns to a
graphic report of the Impending crisis
that hung like a pall over the country
throughout Friday night and of how
Wall Street polled things‘together and
restored confidence on Saturday. The

"there are heroes in commercial life as
well as on the field of battle," and con.

"patriotism and honor of Wall Street,
The truth is, Wall Street was only
looking oat for its own. There have
been extensive transactions in stocks
reoently, and many of the brokers are
no doubt overloaded, but all the condi

Btreet, anything like a money panlo at
this time wonld be well nigh impossible.
The government treasury has more
money In Its vaults now than ever be

on It that Morgan and h.s associates
worked so suooessf ally daring the Cleve

SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP.
A "prominent Southwest Georgia Pol
itician” has been talking politics for the
newspaper reporters in Atlanta, and the
Constitution of yesterday quotes him as
follows:
There was a prominent Southwest
Georgia politician at the capitol yester
day who enjoys talking- over the situa
tion with his friends, bnt he bus some
irons of his {own in the fire, and he is
usually silent when newspaper men are
around, though occasionally he talks
and asks them nit to qubti him. That,
however, is a way politicians have.
"I think I.oan safely ,zay,” he said,
"that Joe Terrell will oarry Lee, Dough

A WAR BLESSING.
A war that brings blessings to
humanity and civilization Is not in vain.
Of the changes wrought by the late
Spanlah-Amerioan war perhaps none
will prove to be a greater blessing than
the ridding of thiB country of the yel

menace to the Galt and South Atlantio
coasts for many years.
The renovation ot 'Havana aud San
tiago, and the introduction of sanitary
metbods with energy and thoroughness
has wrought a marvelous ohange in the
health cf Onba, and rendered tho coast

from this horrible disease, which almost
annually visited and devastated this
country, inflicting thousands of deaths
and paralyzing all classes of bnsiness.

officer for Havana, states in his report

Whether President McKinley recovers

Senator Wellington, of Maryland,
