The indications for Georgia are fair and warmer weather In Western, and showers in eastern portion, with brisk northerly winds, and tor Eastern Florida, showers, with fresh northwesterly winds. Rhode Island might save money by adopting the Oom Paul style of eapltol, if she is to continue both Providence and Newport as capitals. Almost anybody ought to be able to ac quire a reputation as a weather prophet these days by predicting that it ‘'will taiu to-morrow afternoon.” We shall shortly learn whether the Re publican party considers the “burning questions” of four years ago, to foe still burning or merely dead embers upon the hearthstone. If there is really a tight on between “Old ilan” Quay and “Boss” Hanna, It will be Interesting to watch which gets the other down. We Democrats are in a first rate position to shout: "Go It Quay, go it Hanna!” A Kansas newspaper, ridiculing the or der for a course of agricultural Instruction In the public schools, declares that the average Kansas boy and girl know more about practical farming than the average school teacher could find out in ten years. “The Man That Marched Up San Juan Hill” seems to lack something of the rythmic swing of “The Man That Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo.” Nevertheless it begins to appear that the Republicans will hove to adopt it as one of their cam paign slogans. The Boxers of China have raised an other Eastern question for the considera tion of the people of the United Btitea, but it does not appear that the Philadel phia convention will make any statement respecting it. Possibly the convention will want to leave it to the discretion of the President. If the forecast of the Republican plat form printed yesterday is correct, it Is the intention of the bosses to commit the party to ship subsidies. Should a fhlp subsidy plank be put into the platform, it would afford a vulnerable target, and a good many independent Republican news papers, like the Pittsburg Dispatch, would soon be shooting at it. The most unique nominating speech on rectord. probably, was delivered in the Populist Convention of Nodaway county, Missouri, the other day. "The nnfn I want to nominate,’’ shouted a brawny delegate, "is five feet and ten Inches high, thirty years old. and never et a biscuit!" That was all of the speech. It tvas greeted j with tumultuous applause. On the first , ballot the statesman who "never et a bis cuit" was declared nominated. He may expected to arrive in Congress one of fine days. of South Dakota and Platt of New York represent the extremes of lo quacity and reticence In the Senate. Pet tigrew' burdened the Congressional Record with speeches upon every possible occa sion during the recent session. He talked bo much that he had llttje time left for working. Asa coiiHequem.'e he accom plished very little. Senator Platt, on the other hand, was aeldom heard. Indeed, during the whole session lie made Just one , speech, and that was sixteen llnee long. Meantime he was working all the time, with the result that he got pretty nearly what he wanted. MR It UNDER OF CHINESE FORTS. The delayed news from China is of the most dlsquieCing kind, but ft is not yet clear that the Chinese government in tends to engage in a war with the Power*. It seems that on June 17, the commanders of the foreign warships qi Taku made a demand for the surrender of the forts. The forts at once opened fire on the war ships, but after an engagement of about two hours they surrendered and were tak en possession of by detachments from the warships. The Taku forts are at the mouth of (ho Pel-Ho river, on which Tien Tsin is sit uated. Pekin frs about thirteen miles from the river, and 100 miles from the Taku forts. It is not known yet whether the rcprc% sentive9 of Che foreign governments at Pekin are safe. The impression seems to be that the forces, sent to their assist ance, failed to reach Pekin. On that point, however, there does not appear to be any definite information. At Wash ington, the impression Is that the commander of the Taku forts acted without authority from the Pekin govern* ment. Either he mis u rulers tood his in structions, or else had joined the Boxers. This view is entertained by the Chinese minister, as well as by officials at the state department. ' The % foreign forces are acting to gether. Their purpose seems to bo to put an end to the disturbances as quick ly as possible. The American fleet has been instructed to act with the fleets of the other Pow< rn. A regiment has larn ordered from the Philippines to Taku. When it arrives it will bo employed in protecting American Interests, but it will not act independently. The forces of tee foreign governments will act in concert. At least that is the understanding now. Should one or more of the Powers take steps looking to the dismemberment of the empire, it is probable that the harmony existing between the intervening nations would be destroyed. It is the understanding that our government is opposed to the overthrow of the Chinese government, and it is probable that Great Britain occupies a similar position. But it Is not by any means certain that our government would forcibly oppose the dismemberment of the empire. What it would do if an attempt were made at dismemberment can only be conjectured. Big Indemnity claims will be made against China. She may not be willing to pay them. In that event, she may have trouble that will be more serious than the Boxer trouble. The situation at pres ent in such that no prediction as to what will be the outcome of it is of much value. HAWAII’S AMIIITIOX. The Hawaiian delegates to the Republi can National Convention propose to ask the convention to put a plank in the Re publican platform recommending that Hawaii be admitted to statehood. This programme is doubtless in accordance with the plans of the men who overturned the Hawaiian government several years ago, and finally succeeded in bringing about the annexation of the Islands to this country. No doubt each has decid ed upon the office he will strive to get in the event of the islands becoming a state. It would be more becoming in the men who control the destinies of the islands to watt awhile before making further at tempts to carry out their plans. It is doubtful if the American people are par ticularly anxious to have Hawaii repre sented in the Senate and House and the electoral college yet awhile. There are too many pocket boroughs now: What a ridiculous condition of affairs it would be to give a few white people and some thousands of Asiatics in Hawaii as much power in the United States Senate as the people of New York or of Georgia have! Unless we are greatly mistaken, it will be years before Hawaii is admitted Into the Union. There are territories that have been knocking at the doors of Congress for admission as states for a long time that have far greater right to the privilege than Hawaii. The isl ands have a population of about 100,000. At the last census they had less than 90,- 000. And the vast majority of the people are totally unfit to the right of suffrage. It Is not surprising, of course, that Dole & Cos. should want the islands erect ed into a state. In that event they would be bigger men than they are now. It may be that Mr. Dole thinks that he has been so successful as a revolutionist that there would be a chance for him to reach the presidency. The Republican Convention should sit down hard on the ambitious schemes of the little coterie of men who are direct ing affairs In Hawaii. It is pretty cer tain that the Democratic Convention will, If there Is an effort made to get the Democratic party to recommend the ad mission of Hawaii as a state. There is no probability, however, of Dole & Cos. applying to the Democratic party to ns slst them tn their schemes. They know they would have no success with that party. FOR GREATER PROSPERITY The operations of lumber and turpentine producers have made great Inroads Into the magnificent Georgia pine forests. The two products have played nn Important part in the development of the state and the ports. They have given the farmer landowners a quick and ready return from their lands, and have ltd to the building of railroads into sections that would oth erwise have long lacked for adequate means of transportation. They have brought wealth Into the state with which to build up other wealth-producing indus tries. And as the lands have been cleared of standing timber, they have been put under cultivation by u thrifty, intelligent class of people. The trend of development—how the farmer and the horticulturist follow the lumberman and the turpentine man—may be seen along any of the railroads In the pine belt of Georgia. Attractive and pro ductive farms, orchards, vineyards and gardens now occupy spaces that were formerly wild woods, and from time to time one sees a herd of fine cattle where formerly only ’’scrubs” of the pine barrens were to be found. As noticeable, too, has been the change in the character of the majority of population of such sections. Formerly they were peopled principally by rough, nomadic, shiftless and often crim inal negroes, who worked about the saw mills or upon the turpentine farms. Where the farms and the orchards have sprung up this element has practically disap peared, and in Its place Ims come a class of intelligent and thrifty farmers, who are home builders and most desirable cltisens. | It will, of course, be years before the 1 pine lumber and turpentine industries 1 cease to be profitable in this section. The THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 19. 1900. forests are still vast and the demand for the products* of them Is unabated. The evolution, however, is towards the clearing away of the forests, and replacing the wooded areas with farms, villages, facto ries and a population that will make Geor gia one of the richest Aid most progressive states of the Union. All things ere work ing together for the moral-and material advancement of the state. CLEARING THE WAY FOR THE PL ITFOR >S. The Republican leaders must feel very graieful to Judge Townsend of the I nit t and States Court for the district of New York city for Ilfs decision that Congress was right in assuming that for revenue j purposes Porto Rico was not a part of the j United States. The cases in which this | decision was made involved the payment of duty on tobacco imported by New j York merchants from Porto Rico. Ihe . merchants objected to the payment of duty on the ground that Porto Rico was a part of the United States. The decision docs net settle the matter. The question is as much in doubt now as when it was raised in Congress. Some wr ks ago a Western Judge of the Unit ed States Court held that Porto Rico was a part of the United States from the time that the treaty making peace b - l ween the'United States and Spain was ratified. The opinion of one United States District judge Is just about as good as that of another. The Republicans, however, overlook the and cis on of Judge Loohren. Their news papers arc saying very complimentary things about the decision of Judge Town s nd. The reason is apparent. The Re j üblicans want some foundation for as serting in their national platform that the IP publican majority in Congress and the President were right in putting a tariff on the commerce between this country and Porto Rico. It will be recalled that the President said in h's message to Congress last Decem ber That it was “our plain duty” to give Porto Rico free trade with this country. He did not stand by that position when he found that Congress intended to tax Porto Rico’s commerce with this coun try. His backdown, and the action of Congress * axing Porto Rico’s commerce promised to give him and the Republican I arty trouble in the presidential cam paign. Judge Townsend’s decision came just in time to enable the Republicans to take a bold stand in their platform in support of the party’s position in respect to Porto Rico. It almost seems as if the and c'si.n had been renierei to meet the necessities of the Republican party. How ever there is no ground for saying that it was rendered at the time it was to enable that party to get out of a hole. THE RIG MAN AT PHILADELPHIA. The big man In Philadelphia at this time is Senator Hanna. He is thqi boss of the Republican party. He is the greatest political boss in the country’. He occupies tn national politics about the same posi tion that Mr. Croker does in New Y'ork city politics. There are indications that Mr. Croker is seek ing wider field for the exercise of his abilities as a political boss. It will take him a long time, however, to reach a position of as much power and influence as that occupied by Senator Hanna. The Democratic parly is not quite so willing to be ruled by a boss as the Republican party’ Is. There are other bosses in the Republi can party than Senator Hanna, and there are signs that they are jealous of him. One of them is Senator Platt cf New York and another is Mr. Quay of Pennsylvania. It looks as if Mr. Platt and Mr. Quay had joined hands to down the Ohio boss. In several important particulars the lat ter has been beaterT since the Repub’ican National Committee has been in session. The Ohio bots is still on top, however, and the delegates follow him around s;ek lng a chance to gel a word with him. In the estimation of most of them he is the whole convention. In their opinion the convention will do what he say’s in re spect to the platform, and will name the man he selects for Vice President. But ii Is not so certain that he will be able to name the nominee for Vice Presi dent. His choice Is Mr. Bliss of New York. At least the understanding Is that, he prefers Mr. Bliss. Mr. Platt and Mr. Quay insist upon the nomination of Gov. Ro sevelt. The sentiment among the dele gates Is running strongly towards Gov. Roosevelt. The reason, perhaps, that Senator Hanna is permitted to play so important a part at the convention Is the success with which, he conducted the campaign In 1896. Besides, he Is a man of ability, who Insists upon having his way in every thing in which he Is concerned. The lesser bossts of the party would feel more kind ly towards him if he were less dominating In his manner. They feel that the public should be permitted to get a sight of them once in a while. If Senator Hanna continues to Insist upan being the “whole show" there may tie trouble in the Re publican party in the near future. It is understood to be the purpose of the Philippine Commission to carry from the United States to the Islands “a pool class of government employes who shall eventually replace army officials in the civil administration.” That will make a number of nice places to he filled by the President—for, of course, the Phllippin.s being outside of the constitution, the civil service law will not apply. These offices. Judiciously promised in doubtful states, might be used to good advantage tn the campaign. The Philippines seem doomed to a carpet-bag government. Mark Twain is still a candidate for the presidency. He saytt he has been unable to discover that he has any following, therefore he finds It unneceaary to with draw his candidacy; it will withdraw it self ot the proper time. This puts Maik precisely in line with Admiral Dewey, and gives each good company. Mark is shortly to return to America, “for goal,” he says. Unless for some unforeseen rea sons he will never leave home again. It seems practically impossible for Miss Helen Gould to escape being annoyed by cranks. The other day a negro of the name of Lemuel Hill was arrested, for l he second time, for going to Miss Gould's house and claiming to be her half-brother. On his last visit he announced to the ser vant that he had called to get $1,000,000 from Miss Gould. He was sent to the insanity ward of a hospital. Representative Dolltver, who his a small vice presidential boom at Philadel phia. is said to be without uny ot ihe Vices which are so common among men. He neither drinks, chews, smokes nor .wears. How so model a man manages to remain In Politics-Republican polltßs ls a mystery. The complete disappearance of vessels 1 of the brig type from the American mer ; chant marine, is notl in a dispatch from Bangor, Me. The brig Trios of Bangor, was the last of her kind under the Amer j lean flag, and when she was wrecked on Avcs Island, near Bonaire, W. 1., the <Mnss, in so far as American registry is concerned, become extinct. Formerly j brigs were in favor, and the pumber jof them was considerable, but of late years none has been built. The schooner : type has driven the brig out. The schoon ! cr Is handier and faster than the brig, 1 and requires only a'rx>ut half the crew’ necessary to handle a /brig of similar tonnage. All square rigs, by the way, seem to have fallen into disfavor in this country. The bark, the barkentlne and the ship seem to have had their day. There are still a few American square riggers in commission, but the number of them is growing smaller every year. The business is being carried on now prin cipally in steamers, schooners and barges. Lord Roberts in South Africa is at the head of the biggest end best army that Great Britain ever put under one man; nevertheless the depleted Boer forces have been able to shut off all communication between him and the outside woyld for several days. One c'annot help wondering what would happen if the Boers had half the number of men that Roberts has. The Chicago Tribune’s census forecast gives the following figures of population In the cities named: Savannah, 07,0 JO; Charleston, 70,000; Atlanta, 325,000. In view of these figures, we are inclined to think that the Tribune’s information is not of the most accurate character. PERSON AL. —Frank A.

Discussing the cotton situation, the New Orleans Picayune say a: “While, however, the start of the crop and its present condition do not hold out hopes of a bumper yield, there is every reason to expect a considerably larger yield than Inst year. A larger yield is actually needed to supply the deficiencies an gen eral stocks which will be left by the present short crop. For that reason, far seeing operators do not look for a re turn (o low prices during the coming fall. The situation in ihe eoiton trade is em inently a healthy one, and the South ought to take full advantage ot' It* op portunity.” The Springfield (Mass.) Republican (Ind.) says: “If the United States breaks into ( hina to stay it will he interesting to know just how we got in. Thus far not even an American missionary there has been killed or injured. Dr. Terry, whose murder was reported. Is safe and sound, But the Independent this week is already calling for the Egyptianlzing of the Chinese empire under a Joint pro tectorate- of seven Powers, the United States being one of the seven. Keep your field glasses rubbed, for there are interesting tilings ahead. Imperialism is in the saddle." The l/oulsvllle Courier Journal (Dem.) says: “Wo .hall support Mr. Bryan. In many things we do not agree with him. Hut we agree with him In enough things to suffice. We do not say that Mr. Mc- Kinley is not an honest man. He Is en tirely so. But considering the Influences that arc back of Mr. Bryan, and those that are back of Mr. McKinley, we pre ft r Mr. Bryan. As the canvass proceeds, we .hall give reasons In plenty." 'l'll# Memphis Commercial-Appeal (Dem.) says: “If the Powers keep on Invading China they may tench those 4(10,000,000 Chi nese how to shoot, and then there will is' fireworks to beat tlie hand. As tlie Chinese Invented gunpowder, It would not lie surprising If they eventually learn ed how to use It." The Chicago Record (Ind.) says: "Ad miral Dewey says he thanks God that the people of the United •States do not want htm for President. Which shows how much worry and cHre may he ex. r elsed In attempting to cro.t u bridge be fore one gets to It.” At the Telephone. When Mr. Meddlar tried to use his tel ephone a few days ago the “hello girl,” probably dreaming of her social triumphs, instead of giving him the number he called for. connected him with a line over which a conversation already raged, says a writer in the Smart Set. Mr. Meddlar had listened for only a moment before he discovered that the line had a very iras cible female at one end of it and a not over-bright grocer’s clerk at the other, and that the Indy’s orders were being given somewhat tempestuously. He there fore decided to facilitate proceedings, and the wires began to heat up in about this fashion: Woman’s Voice—And I want a dozen eggs, a dozen eggs—understand?” Mr. Meddler—“ Yes, mum. Do you want them fresh, mum?” # Woman’s Voice—“Of course, stupid. Do you take us for cheap folks?” Clerk’s Voice—“ Yes, mum; a dozen eggs.” Mr. Meddlar—“Did you say a dozen, or a bushel, mum? Woman’s Voice—“A dozen—a doz£n—a dozen, idiot. And I want a bottle of pickles. Got that?” Mr. Meddlar—“Yes, mum; a barrel of olives. Clerk’s Voice—“ Yes, mum; all right, mum.” Woman’s Voice—<No, no, no. Oh, sugar! A bottle of pickles, I said. Mr. Meddlar—Oh, yes mum. Excuse me. mum, I was out with the hoys last night, an’ nm kinder twisted to-day. But you know how' it is. mum. A barrel of su gar. you said? All right, mum. Woman’s Voice—No-o-o-o-o! Can't you hear, you drunken booby? I say a bottle of pickles. Mi. Meddlar—You said sugar, mum. Woman’s Voice—l didn’t. And if—— Clerk’s Voice—What did you say that last was, mum? Woman’s Voice—A bottle—bottle—bottle of pickles—pi kies—pickles. Mr. Meddlar—All right, mum; three bot tles of pickles. Woman’s Voice—Oh, you fool! Well, let it go at hat. And I want two quarts of vinegar. Mr. Meddlar—You don’t need It, mum. Woman’s Voice—What’s that? Mr. Meddlar—Sugar’s whatt you need, mum, and lots of it. Woman’s Voice—Oh, if I only had 1 you here, you—you—you Mr. Meddlar—That's right, mum. U— U—U-se lots of it. Woman’s Voice—Gurgle! Gasp! Choke! Choke! Gasp! Gurgle! Clerk’s Voice—Beg pardon, mum, but I didn’t catch that last. Please repeat it. mum. Woman’s Voice—You impudent imp. You tadpole! You shrimp! Mr. Meddlar—Fresh or canned, mum? Woman’s Voice—Oh. wait till I get my hands on.you! I’m coming round there this instant. You just wait! Mr. Meddlar—All right, mum. How are all the folks? Then the ’phone ./as furiously rung off —it sounded to Mr. Meddlar as if it had been wrung off the wall entirely—and, with a beatific smile gamboling over his countenance, he resumed his seat at his desk, and began drafting his report ns president of the local Christian Endeav orers. Snake Saved This Man’* I.lfe. They had been talking of snakes, says the Detroit Free Press. “Speaking of snakes,” said a man whose manners and attire smacked strongly of the West,” “a cold snap and a snake saved my life once when I was prospect ing in Northern Texas. I had been out and got lost in the mountains, and I reck on I would have starved If it hadn’t been for the change of weather and the snake. You’ve heard about the northers in Texas that come down in autumn and change a summer day in autumn.to a freezer from Freezevllle, haven’t you? Well, it was that kind of thing that caught me. I was stumbling along about dead one day at noon among the cliffs, scared half to death til! the time at two snakes that were stVetched on Ihe rocks punning them selves. I hadn't so much as a stick to defend myself w ith, and I was kept on the watch every minute. All at once before I or the snakes knew what was happening, the sky clouded up and a norther swept down on us. I made my way to a cave I had noticed near by, and getting far hack into it I kept from freezing, but I could not have a tire because there wasn’t any timber up there on the mountains. "Early the next morning I got out and concluded to make for the valley, where somebody might find my dead body, any how, after the starving had finished me. It was colder than Alaska, and I hadn't gone more than a hundred yards before a big gray wolf sneaked out of a chve just beyond mine, and came after me. 1 gave up then, for I was weak as a kit ten and had nothing to fight with, but I couldn't help making some kind of a show, and I looked around to get any old thing to hit the wolf one jick, when I noticed a snake on a flat rock, frozen hard. I grabbed it just as the wolf got near enough to growl, and as he came at me I hit him a three-base hii with that ball club ot a frozen snake that knocked him silly. It was a square one right on the jaw. and he keeled over like a log. Then I hopped on him and thumped the life out of him. "Wolf meat isn't prime eating, but any thing will do for a starving man, and it wasn't long until I had sliced a meal off of him with my penknife, and making a We line for the valley where there were some trees. I soon had a fire and the wolf meat cooking on it. That saved my life ami gave m. enough strength to go back and cut ofr his hams, which I carried away with me and lived on for two days longer, when I was picked up bv some hi her prospectors and restored to my friends. Nowadays when I see a snake I always have a very friendly feeling for aim, whether he is frozen or not.” A Choice of Evil*. “There wa3 a man once ’at lost a leg, and for a long time afterward he flumpin' round on a kick'ry peg. One day Elder Harkins asked him why he didn’t go to Hrother Brigham Y6ung and have hi* lig restored, s ,y. a wit cr in Linplneott’s. ” 'ID' you s'| ose he c’n do It?’ said old Peg-cg's quick's a wind.
