The indications for Georgia to-day are fair weather in southern and showers in northern portion; and fresh southerly winds; and for Eastern Florida fair weath er, with variable winds. There are Indications that the next Vice President win be a New York man. The education of the North with respect to the race question goes on apace. At BridgeviUe. in Delaware, a day or two ago. nine-year-old Resale Warrington, white, was assaulted by a negro man. The Supreme Court of Tennessee has decided that women cannot practice law in that state. The decision is to the effect that attorneys, being officers of the court, must be persons possessed of full civil rights. It begins to appear that it is Qulgg. and mot McKinley, that is a bigger man than hie party, since the former had the nerve and backbone to cut out of the platform several bad features tbst others of the bosses had put into it. New York's strenuous young Governor, who haa been commandeered to put life In to the Republ.can cmpgn, is iW'lrd a "io. comotive tn trousers" by Senator Foraker. If "Teddy" ta the locomotive, they have got him on the wrong end of the train. Once again Admiral Dewey repeats that he stands precisely where he has stood all along *?■* respect to the nomination. Really, why does not the Admiral sit down? The American people would not think him guilty of disrespect if he would be seated and make himself comfortable. Mr. Richard Croker has given anew definition to anti-imperialism which car ries with it. of course, his Idea of what imperialism means. "My idea of anti imperialism," says Mr. Croker. "Is oppo sition to the fashion of shooting every one who does not speak English." Mr. Croker has now been back from Eu rope several days, and that promised ex plosion under some of the leaders of Tam many Hall in consequence of the ice busi ness, has not yet occurred. Presumably Mr. Croker was as little impressed by the shouting of the yellow Journals as the court was. There Is a matrimonial ruah In the Pittsburg coke district. Pome of the ovens are going to reduce their forces.end It h been announced that married men will Jje retained and single men discharg ed. The bachelors, therefore, are hunting up wives as fast as they can, and women who arrive at the stations near the ovens receive several proposals of marriage be fore they have time lo get off the plat forms. Congressman Livingston, of the Fifth District of Georgia. Is out for Bryan and Hill. The situation, ha says. Is a prac tical one. and must be looked at from a practical point of view. It Is necessary to carry New York state, and h# believes Hill Is the man to carry It. Col. Livingston expresses the opinion that Hill can '•hold the bucking bronco ell right." The Colonel, however, Is not a delegate to the convention. Director of the Mint Roberts estimates that the phenomenal output of gold last year will be about equalled this year, not withstanding the shutdown of the mines in South Africa In consequence of the war. Mr. Roberts thinks thta year's pro duction will be fully *300.000,000. When pence has been restored la South Africa and mining resumed, ha thinks the time will not be long before the world's pro duction of gold will be *400.000,00 pee year. With this great stream ot gold flowing Into the chaimefa ot commerce, how long will it be before the question *1 geld and alher wtU etna itself* THE CHIEF ISSUE OF THE CAM PAIGN. There will of course be several Important issues In the presidential campaign, but the chief one will be imperialism. The public mind is more fully occupied with the question as to whether the Republi can or the Democratic policy respecting Porto Rico and the Philippines shall pre vail than with any other. Gen. Grosvenor was not so very far wrong when he said that the most Important question in the presidential campaign had been left out of the Republican platform—the question as to whether the constitution extended to territory acquired by the United States without any action on the part ot congress, or whether Congress had authority to ex ercise authority in such territory outside of the constitution, with certain limita tions. It seems that there was a plank in the platform stating the position of the Republican party in respect to this mat ter when it left the hands of tho President and his advisers, but, according to Mr. Qulgg of New York, the Platform Com mittee left it out of the platform on the ground that it presented a question that the Supreme Court was likely to pass up on before the end of the presidential cam paign, and the Republican party would be tn a rather unenviable position If the court should decide against the position taken In its platform. But because it was left out of the plat form it does not follow that it will play no part in the presidential campaign. As already stated the Indications are that It will play the most important part. The parts that will be played by trusts and silver will be only secondary to it. The people are dividing on the question as to whether or not this country shall be an empire. If the constitution follows the flag, then the Filipinos are now under the constitution and are entitled to all the rights and privileges which that instru ment guarantees. If, on the other hand, as the Republicans contend, the constitu tion does not follow the flag, the Phil ippines are mere dependencies to be gove erned as Congress pleases. The treaty by which the Philippines were acquired differs In a very important par ticular from previous treaties by which the United States came into possession of territory. In previous treaties it was stip ulated that the inhabitants of the acquir ed territory should ultimately become cit izens. In the treaty by which the Philip pines were acquired It is left to Congress to say what the political rights and civil status of the Inhabitants of the ceded isl ands shall be. It is claimed that the ef fect of this provision of the treaty is to give the late Spanish possessions a “dis tinct existence under, but without the United States.” A point is made against Mr. Bryan that he urged the ratification of the treaty, and now takes the position that the Filipinos ought to have their in dependence. There is nothing Inconsistent in Mr. Bryan s position. Ha knew of course what the provisions of the treaty were when he advised Its ratification, but at no time did he favor holding the isl ands as colonies. He believes that the Filipinos should be dealt with Just as it is proposed that the Cubans shall be dealt with. He believes that they should have their independence when they are ready for self government, and he Is Inclined to think that they are now able to manage their own public 1 affairs. The whole country is waiting with deep Interest to see how the Democratic Na tional Convention will deal with the Phil ippine question. It is undoubtedly the question in which the people at this time are the most deeply concerned. COTTON FIELDS 4\l) COTTON MILLS The New York Commercial, in comment ing upon the rapid increase in the num ber of cotton mills in the South, says: “If England does not know it, she ought to know it, and know it quickly, that the time is not very far distant when she must cease to make cotton goods for anybody but herself and cease also for herself, unless she puts up one of those infamous Chi nese walls against the irwtrift of foreign competition In her markets.” Further along lu Its article tho Commercial says: •'With the brisk development of the cotton mill alongside of the cotton field which Is now going on in this country and Mexico, Great Britain wHI be hopelessly handi capped. unless she begins to grow cotton hot-seif In the fields of Lancashire." In our dispatches yesterday it was stat ed that the traffic officials of the railroads had Just met in Atlanta for the puriose of fixing the rate on cotton from the fields to the cotton mills of the Carollnas. It seems that the capacity of the cotton mills In those states Is now so great that the mills have to depend upon olher elates for their supply of cotton. It will not be very many years. Judging from the rapid Increase In the number of mills In this stale, before Georgia will need all the cotton she produces to supply her own mills. It will, of oourse. be years yet be fore there will be enough mills near the cotton fields to consume the entire cotton crop, but that there will be enough event ually there is no reason to doubt. The Southern people are beginning to understand that there Is a great deal of money to be made in ■ending their cotton to market manufac tured Into cloth and a9 their wealth In creases they will put it into cotton mills until they are able to manufacture their entire cotton crop. The New York Commercial, therefore. Is not so very far out out the way In warning England that her cotton trade is In danger, and that she ought to be look ing out for other employment for her cot ton mill operatives. It Is about as certain as anything can be that Is not actually known that the United States are g< Ing to supply the world wKh the bulk of cotton goods ss they now practlcaily supply it with raw cotton. Gen. Adna K. Chaffee, who has been or dered to China lo take charge of the American forces there, was on the lists of the Naval College at Newport for lec tures this summer on the lesson of the Spaisish-American War. The young fight ers will miss the lectures, but if they will watch Chaffee# movements In China, fie will show them probably better than he could have told them what up-to-dale lighting Is. Fbflodelphla saw a unique procession the other day. It was made up of express wagons, and they were transporting 71.- 000,000 sliver dollars from the old mint to the new one. These dollars were coined as security for tha last Issue of silver cer tificates. They have remained, nd will remain. In the vaults, while their paper representative* will do their work til the circulation. THE MOENING KEW& FEIDAY,’ JUNE 29, 1900. THE LAST GREAT LYND Rl H. A picturesque feature of Western life has been the periodical rush of home seekers into Indian lands thrown open to the settlement of white men. The most famous of these rushes of late years were those Into Oklahoma and the Cherokee Strip, upon which occasions literally thousands of men and a consid erable number of women camped for weeks on the border line of the territory about to be opened, awaiting the mo ment the President's proclamation be came operative to dash into the reserva tion and stake quarter-sections of land. Many of the rushes have been attended with tragedies, while there has probably never been one that did not furnish its crop of scandals touching government of ficials, who were to have given secret information, for a consideration, or to have succeeded in grabbing choice lots of land through agents smuggled across the border in advance of the legal opening. The last great land rush, however, will take place shortly. The precise date is not known, and will not be known until the President has Issued his proclama tion opening the land. This proclama tion may he made public In n week, or it may be a month before it Is published, under the terms of the bill which was passed at the recent session of Congress. The land to be opened is the reservation of the Kiowa and Comanche Indians, in Oklahoma territory, and embodies 2.000,- 000 acres. It is well-wooded, well-watered, and la said to be the richest and most productive land In that section; far su perior to the land of the Cherokee Strip. Divided into quarter-sections of 160 acres each, there will be room for 10.000 farms, or. rather, claims, as some of the coun try is mountainous. The mountain sec tions, however, may, as a matter of fact, be found more valuable than the farming sections, since rich gold and silver de posits are known to exist In the Wichita mountains, which are included in the res ervation. There is a legend of Spaniards having worked fabulously productive mines in these mountains. The government Is to give these lands practically free. It is true that after five years the homesteaders will have to pay the government a filing fee of $1.50 per acre; but with five crop seasons be fore the fee becomes due, every indus trious homesteader ought to be able to discharge his Indebtedness and have a surplus left from his operations. The government is to pay the Indians $2,000,- 000 for the land. Great numbers of boomers and home steaders are already gathering along the frontier in anticipation of the race, while government officials are clearing all ■white men out of the reservation. It is probable, therefore, that the great free for-all. go-as-you-please event will not be long deferred. And. as dhis will be the last race of the kind for any consid erable body’ of land, the probabilities are that it will be quite as exciting as any which has preceded it. THE “ORIGINAL" MKINLBY MAN. Many persons have, thought Mark Han na to be the original McKinley man. This, however. Is disputed by’ Magnus A. Hess of Chicago, who claims the distinction for himself. Moreover, Air. Hess claims 58,- 113.09, which he says he expended of his own good money for the purpose of bring ing the Canton man into notoriety. This sum, he says, has never been refunded to him, nor has he ever received any sort of recompense for either his cash or his patriotism. Naturally, therefore. Air. Hess Is sore. He feels that he has been badly used by a man whom he looks upon as his benefk'iary, and from whom he had a right to expect both recognition and a good thing or two. Mr. Hess has laid his grievance, and also his bill, before 'President McKinley and every member of the Republican Na tional Committee, including Chairman Hanna. The letter of transmission re calls that in 1892, (when McKinley was smarting under the sting of defeat for re election lo Congress, and when financial difficulties were fretting his soul,) Mr. Hess formed the Cook County McKinley Club and forthwith began booming him for the presidency. MaJ. McKinley was, ac cording to he testimony of Mr. Hess, very grateful for the compliment which was then paid him. Mr. Hess says he has several letters from his candidate of those days which would make very in teresting reading In the current campaign. He may conclude to publish them later, in the event that the check for the bill is not forthcoming. The bill, by the way. Is a model docu ment. There Is no subterfuge or evasion about It. Every item is set down in black and white for Just what it means. There Is no covering up of expenditures under the elastic blanket of "incidentals," such as we see oodasionaily In statements from the Paris Exposition or from the Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico. When Mr. Hess means whisky, beer and cigars he makes his Item read: "Wet and dry goods; An heuser-Milwaukee and smoke-up, to keep the boys in line for McK." There is no mistaking the meaning of that entry. There is also the amount of about *B7B for printing McKinley's picture on posters, envelopes and badges, and the rent of two club rooms at the very reasonable rental of *25 and *3O per month. These latter items Mr. Hess might easily have made *IOO per month each if It had been his pur pose to play "practical” politics on his proposed beneficiary. On the whole the bill appears to be one that would stand the closest scrutiny; and Mr. Hess says he has a signed voucher for every item in It. Hanna Is blamed for the President's fail ure to take care of his original boomer. Mr. Hess writes to MaJ. McKinley: "You have gone back on your best friends that helped you in tho presidential chair, and now you have affiliated yourself with Combines, Trusts, Millionaires, Syndicates, etc. You won't be a second Lincoln. Where was King Marcus Hanna, Dawes, Platt and that bunch when I started the McKinley movement? I only want what Is honest and fair, my money back." And it seems, really, that the Chicago boomer ought to receive the most distinguished consideration from those to whom he has addressed his complaint and bill. If he cannot have an office, he ought at least lo gel his money hack. If Minister Wu could convince the Washington authorities that LI Hung Chang has ary Intention of going to Pe kin. and that he could put down the In surrection once he had got there, they might consent to hia proposition lo with hold the troops. But from all appearances LI Is seeking by every means at his com mand (o avoid going to the capital Mr. S. H. Rodgers, editor of the Palmet to Post, was 1, the city a day or two ago id the interest of the port Royal naval station. For years Mr. Rodgers has devoted his talents and space ci his excellent little paper to the upbuildiag of the port of Port Royal. His labors have been as uneeltsb as they have been uoccasr.g and much of the credit for what has been accomplish ed at the port is due to him. It is now his purpose to prevent,if possible.the removal of the station from Port Royal. He has a plenty of strong a-gumems In favor of his position. What lj desired now is to have them so strongly presented ut Wash ington that they catr.ot be brushed aside for the sake of political expediency. Sa vannahians should bs willing to aid him in this work. An interesting stoty comes from Texas with respect to Cong-e -strum Joe Bailey's new farm. It was pwchased bora ex-Gov. Gibbs. The story gees that only a short time ago Gov. Gibbs refused s39>,oX> tor the property, though he sold it to Mr. Bailey’s friends for\s2o>.oCo. His purpose in sacrificing 530,060 is said to be to “get Bailey and Culbersqi into the same coun ty,” so that he can/'witness the scrap be tween them when tie*. shall both be Unit ed States senators.’ Prince Charles de Looz. who descended from Charles IV of Spain, has been awarded danjages ft one farthing by a British court in a tjiit against a newspa per that had called him a swindler.

Some time ago, says a writer in the Chi cago Journal, I was talking with a man about the implied autocracy conveyed by the names of some people we come upon in ftumble walks of life, the only claim to distinction or high birth those people can offer being their names. The curious little shock of surprise and disillusion caused by the mismating of high-sounding names and humble people has. of course, been experienced by everybody who is idle enough to notice such trivialities. "There are some servants," said the man with whom 1 talked of this matter. "who have been with the branch of my family which remained back In an east ern state ever since I can remember. They wear names that make mine look plebein. I'm going down there for my va cation, and I'i! send you a memorandum on the matter." Yesterday he wrote: “Here are the names of those serving people. Aren't they wonders? VERNON WHIT- ARTHUR STAN TEMORE HOPE (milks cows) (stableman and JANNIES WHIT- housekeeper) TEMOBE MRS. HAMERTON (helps Vernon) BRADSHAW MISS ALICE ST. (nurse) GERMAINE.

He adds: “I feel mysetf an anachronism here, a parvenue of the newest, and when I was compelled to inform Miss Alice St. Ger maine yesterday morning that the shaving water was of small use unless It was hot I„blushed horribly and felt that she might turn upon me—and very properly so—to ask from what cheap new family I had sprung. You see you can decorate her name very slightly, and it carries over whelming conviction. For instance, could 'Hon. Alice St. Germaine' be. by any possibility, anything lees than a peer's daughter? But her countenance, my boy, her countenance ” Here this part of the letter breaks off abruptly. Mixed in Hln Remingtons. As Frederic Remington, the artist, who lives in New Rochelle, stepped from his Irain in the Grand Central station yes terday morning, says the New York Sun. a thin man with an alert expression, who was standing near the waiting-room with a fat. red-faced man from Chicago, caught sight of him. “Hello.'' he said, "there's Frederic Remington." "Where?” asked the Chicago man with great interest. "There he comes, the big fellow. Would you like to meet him?" You can gamble on it that I would." said the Chicago man. "I don't know a citizen of your town that I would rather meet than Remington." "I didn't know that you eared for his work, but I will be glad to Introduce you." "Care for it!" exclaimed the Chicago man." It's the best thing In the market,” The thin man greeted Mr. Remington as an old acquaintance, and then present ed the Chicago man as a great admirer of his work. "Indeed. I am. Mr. Remington. I am proud to meet you. Remington is a house hold word with us," said the Chicago man. “Indeed,” said Mr. Remington, looking as any modest man might at such a tri bute from the West. “It is, for a fact," said the Chicago man, "and when I tell my wife that I have met Frederic Bemington she will want lo know all about you. She wag my stenographer before we were married, and she used your typewriter. I wouldn't have any other machine in the factory and •” Air. Remington w Red away abruptly and the thin man gC-ped and then ex plained to ihe Chicago man. "Artist, did you say?" asked the latter. ■"Why, I thought he invented the type writer. Now Isn't that enough to freeze your feet?" He Was Going. It was a one-horse wagon loaded with boxes and barrels, and the driver suddenly turned Into the curb and go! down and stood off a few feet and looked earnestly at the horse, rays the St. Paul Dispatch. Four or five pedestrians came to a halt, and one of them promptly called out; "That horse has go* a chill end you ought to unhitch him!" "It’s a case of bots!” added a second. "He's got the blind staggers, or I don't know anything about horses." put in a third. The four or five pedestrians grew to five or ten and ten to twenty or thirty. “He's balky, eh?” queried a fat man, as he forced his way into the crowd. "Holler in his ear!" shouted a boy who was up on |alky horses. "All you fellers get hold and push the wagin'." commanded a citizen, who ap peared to be a born leader of men. The crowd grew to fifty, eighty, one hundred, and the street was blocked. Men examined the wheels on the wagon, the feet of the horse and the harness. The driver stood there with lines and whip In hand and said nothing and made no move until a policeman forced his way Into the crowd and excitedly asked: "Now, then; whata all this about? What's the matter here?” "Xuthin’." was the calm reply. "Horse sick?" "Naw." • "Is he balky?" "Naw.” "Then why don't you go On ?" “I'm goin'." And he put hss foot on the hub of a front wheel and sprang to his seat and drove off at a sharp trot, and all the wondering crowd said as it looked after him was: "I thought so ell Ihe time."

When Jim Bridges, the famous scout of the plains, grew old. he thought he would like to retire from the somewhat arduous life of a plainsman and settle down to the ease of the East— which meant to him Missouri. So he used his best endeavors to find a compe tent man to take his place and went back •o Missouri. A year or two passed, and one day Capt. Russeil, the commandant of the post which Bildger left, was sur prised lo see the old scout heave in sight. When he came in the captain asked "Well, Bridger, what brings jou back here?" •■Captain,” said Bridger. "I want to go hack to scouting again." "Indeed?"

This tendency toward symmetry is, however, interfered with by several disturbing causes, internal and external." The most important of the former is the varying degree of vigor in the buds, which be have like distinct plants, some of them growing Into strong branches, while oth ers produce comparatively small shoots. Even if all buds were of equal vitality, regularity would not result. Many of the buds and tender shoots are devoured by birds, insects or squirrels. When of larger size, branches are often torn away by high winds, blasted by lightning, or broken off by accident. A tree will some times grow into an irregular form through the pressure of prevailing winds. This irregularly has also its use. In a gale of wind it will be observed that the branches sway In ail directions and the various movements counterbalance each other. If the branches were arranged with perfect regularity they would all sway together, and the leverage would be so great that the tree might often be uprooted or broken off short. —locked securely away In the big safe which is suesr a conspicuous feature of the office of the librarian of Congress, is a package which ranks in mystery with "The Alan of the Iron Alask," says the St. Louis Republic.

Inscribed upon the covering Is the date upon w-hich the package was re ceived. together with the names ot Libra rian Putnam and Chief Clerk Alvord, both of whom attest that its contents are un known even to themselves.
