The indications for Georgia to-day are lor generally fair weather, except show ers on the coast and light to fresh eouth easte r ly wiude; and for Eastern Florida, local rains, with fresh easterly winds. The desire to be possesaed of a pedigree, a family tree, with which to show one’s elf to be the ‘ son of somebody,” must be inborn and ineradicable. There dkd in Boston recently an old man who for more than thirty years had made a handsome income by tracing and tabulating the an cestry of persons w ho applied to him. Stanley, the explorer, has had enough of public life. He is a member of the House of Commons, but announces that he will not be a candidate for re-election. When he entered the House he no doubt had an idea that his prominence as an ex plorer and man of affairs would at once make him a leader in politics; tut he has discovered that there are mere nimble win all around him, with the result that he has been known as a “silent member.” "United States” Is becoming quite a popular national name. Besides our own United States, there are now the United States of Colombia and the United States of Bean], and there wiil shortly be the United Staites of Australia. The Aus tralians are considering- a project for confederation, and in a vote upon the scheme recently taken in the province of West Australia the majority was near ly three to one In favor of It. Mr. Bryan has concluded the writing of hls speech of acceptance, and it deals al most entirely with the subject of imper ialism, which the Kansas City platform says is the pat amount Issue. This must be very discouraging to thost Republican politician® and newspapers that have been so industriously at work trying to stir up a sixteen-to-one scare. The New York Mall and Express, normally a very intel ligent paper, is one of the organs affect ing to be badly frghiened by the free silver bugaboo. But between the lines it Is rosy enough to see that the paper it self does not behove all of the poppycock that it Is printing along that line. It is gratifying to note wiHi what promptness the authorities are acting with respect o complaints of brutality In the Georgia convict camps. For a long time the treatment of convicts In the oarape, under the old system, was a hor rid scandal upon the state. But under the new order of things, when it is dis covered that there is cruelty at a rump, retribution upon the responsible parties follows quickly. There is no desire on the part of anybody that the convicts shall pass the time as if at a pleasure resort, but It is desired, and demanded, that they shall be treated fairly and humanely. There must be no more beating prisoners to death in Georgia. One of the political stories that are abroad in New York is that Gov. Roose velt has snubbed Senator Hanna, the chairman of the National Republican Committee. It seems that the governor Is not pleased with the senator's recent crit icism of his speeches and hls style of dress. What hurls him more than any thing else, however, is some remarks which Mr. Godkln, ex-editor of the Even ing Post, made about him. In a recent article Mr. Godkln wrote: "It grieves me when I hear ihe applause which greets Roosevelt. Why is ii so many attach im portance lo Roosevelt ond consider him a statesman and a soldier? I cannot under stand it. It shows u marked decline of public sentiment. Mark my word. Roose velt won't last long. There will be a col lapse shortly.” Then in discussing the troubles In China, Mr. Godkln sakl: "You know that erratic monarch of Germany la the Teddy Roosevelt of Europe!" A CAMPAIGN CAYAHD. The open season for campaign canards has now fairly begun, and one which has just made its appearance tends to give tome idea of the desperate straits in which the Republicans find themselves tor vote-winning campaign material The Republican parly is on the defensive. Its policies of imperialism and militarism re being attacked so strongly that it fears the outcome. It would like to make prosperity” and “sixteen to one” the leading issues. To this end it is doing what it can to distract aitenticn from the rfal issues. The lately rromulgated canard, referred to above, was sent out from New York. It, alleged that the discovery had been made that partisans of Mr. Bryan, hoping to improve the chances of his election, attempted to precipitate strikes and kin dred disorders among the laboring class es. The theory was that by bringing on strikes, lock-outs and other labor dis turbances. the semblance of the boasted prosperity would be destroyed, and there would be a large discontented element to vote against the party in power. It has been alleged that the workmen of several large corporations, among them the New York Central Railway, were approached at the Instance of Democrats by agita tors who used their best efforts to foment trouble among the men. This yarn, remarkable as it may seem, has been given publicity by so conserva tive and careful a journal os the Phila delphia Public Ledger. It is charitable to assume that it crept into the Ledger’s columns through the inadvertence of the editors. It is improbable that a high class journal, one w hich justly prides itself upon its reputation fer fairness and accuracy as the Lrdg*r does, would wittingly and willingly have given circulation to so pal pable a canard; a story having no au thority further than the broad assertion of an unnamed correspondent that the matter stated was true. Absolutely no proof is offered to substantiate the alle gation. ro doubt for the cogent reason that none could he obtained. It i-s prepos terous to suppose for one instant that any of the leaders of the Democratic party would give countenance to a con spiracy to bring on labor troubles, know ing that such troubles would involve in calculable suffering among many thou sands of men, women and children be fore they could assume proportion’s large enough to affect the national election. The slander upon the party is as gross and cruel .its that uttered by Gov. Roosevelt when he s.id that Democrats were cow ards and shirkers. THE STARS AGAINST WeKIM.BY, Everybody wants to know who is going to be the next President, and pretty near ly everybody is guessing as to the outcome of the election, each individual reaching the conclusion that his favorite will win. Several prominent Democrats and Repub licans have submitted estimates of how the states will go in November, but the probabilities are that no estimate ydt made by the politicians is more valuable than the guess of the average citizen. In short, neither politicians nor people know a great deal about how it will be politically three months hence. With matters thus in doubt, and every body with a dollar to bet on the result anxiously looking for something that will give a straight tip, an astrologer of Yonk ers, N. Y , comes forward with the. infor mation that he has cast President Mc- Kinley's political horoscope and ascertain ed from the stars that the President will probably be an "ex-” after next March. The nomination was declared at 12:46 p. m., June 21, At that time the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and other celestial bodies occupied such position to wards each other as to constitute a fair warning to Mr. McKinley to get all his friends that he can into office and under the protection of the civil service law at earliest possible moment. His path has been crossed by a large man with dark hair and square-set Jaw, whose words are like apples of gold in pictures of silver; and this stranger, who comes out of the West, is going to cause the President no end of trouble, politically. The stars further show, according to the astrologer, that the Republican party is going to have a campaign fund of almost unprecedented size, which will be spent liberally, while the Democrats will go in to the tight with most meagre funds, com paratively speaking. Nevertheless the Democratic party will be benefited by the lavish expenditure of Republican money. Voters will revolt at the corruption and cast their ballots for the other party. The position of Mars, the god of war, at the time of the nomination indicated that the war in the Philippines would become un popular. and that the President would suf fer because of that unpopularity. Asa matter of fact the astrologer regards the whole situation as being bad from a Re publican point of view. Most of the planets were either in retrograde move ment or in such position with respect to other planets as to occasion evil influences. The astrologer insists that hls prediction is worthy of full credence, because of the fact that in 1896 he cast a similar horo scope, which was published in the New York Herald, and from which he deduced that Maj. McKinley would be elected. Four years ago the McKinley stars were all In the ascendancy or in fine positions; now the conditions are reversed. Meanwhile, without the aid of a horo scope, it may be predicted with confidence, that notwithstanding rhis plain statement from the oracle, Mark Hanna and hls com mittee will go right ahead on the lines of the campaign as originally planned, spend ing money with a lavish hand, just as if they had not been warned by the stars through the Yonkers astrologer of the Im pending defeat. "If," says Gov. Voorhees of New Jer sey, “evidence can be procured to show that a plot to kill King Humbert and others was hatched by anarchists in New Jersey, the parties to the plot in this state will be prosecuted.” The anar chists ore probably not worried In the least by this Announcement. Many of them ore naturalised and have votes, and there is an election coming on In which the Republican party will need every bal lot that It can got. Roger Wolcott, who has accepted the api>olntmont as embassador to Italy, to succeed Mr. Draper, Is said' lo have been <be handnomest Governor in the United States when he was Massachu setts’ chief executive. In case there should ever be a diplomatic beauty ahotv. we would, therefore, be right in line for the -(due ribbon. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 6. 1900. THE WRONG VIEW. j The Republican papers are trying to I make it appear that Mr. Bryan the i Democrats are opposing the Philippine j policy of the Republican party because of | their sympathy for the Filipinos. The i New York Bun. for instance, speaks of | Mr. Bryan and his people “lashing them- I selves into indignation for the Filipinos.” We do not understand that the Demo* ! crats are very deeply moved by sympathy for the Filipinos. They are opposing the imperialistic policy of the Republican parry because that policy threatens to change the character of the government of this country—to change the republic into an empire. The Democrats are fight ing for republican institutions, not for ’he independence of the Filipinos. Their great concern is for the American people, net for the people who are fighting Amer ican rule in the Philippines. Of course the Republicans are * doing everything they can to cloud the real is sue. They are finding that they will not be able to make silver the paramount i®- sue of the campaign—that they will have to tight the issue that has been made by the Democratic party. Therefore they are trying to mislead the people as to what that issue really Is. There may be some doubt in the public mind now as to what that issue if*, but there will be none be fore the campaign has progressed very far. It will not take the people long to see the difference between a republic and an empire, and to understand that the ultimate result of the Philippine policy of the Republican party would be the establishment of an empire on the ruins of the republic. , ELECTH H ITY FOR SHIP POWER. In a recent magazine article Mr. Niko la Tesla discussed electricity as the pro polling power for ships, in a manner that indicated his belief that at no very dis tant day the steam engine would be dis placed at the propeller shaft, and the electric motor would take its place. Mr. Tesla spoke of employing steam to gen erate the electricity with which to turn the shafts, and also suggested that gas engines might be employed in the place of steam engines. The probabilities are that the article in question did not en hance Mr. Tesla’s reputation among the engineering profession. Technical experts have had no difficulty in picking what they believe to be fatal flaws in his the ories. Mr. W. F. Durand, a marine con structor. is one of the experts who take issue with Mr. Tesla. In the Marine Engineering magazine Mr. Durand points out how a ship propelled by either of the Tesla plans would be both slower and more expensive than a steamship. Supposing, he says, that steam appa ratus were used to generate electricity with which to actuate motors driving the propellers; the process would necessitate two transformations of the power before it reached the propellers, involving a lo®s of not less than 10 to 15 per cent, of the energy. That would require a correspond ing increase in the consumption of coal, and the increased weight carried by the 6hip would make her travel slower for a given coal consumption. The storage bat tery plan would be impracticable, for the reason that batteries capable of running n ship across the ocean, would be heavier than the ship itself. It has, of course, been demonstrated that light launches can be run with storage batteries where they can be re-charged every five or six hours, but it is quite a different matter when one comes to consider the running of a great ship for two hundred to two bun dled and fifty hours continuously with out touching a station for re-charging. No engine and no battery is at present in sight which would change the facts as stated above. With respect to gas engines as the ini tial source of energy, Mr. Durand points out that the gas would have to be manu factured from coo! aboard ship. That would require the carrying of a heavy gas plant, and an increased staff of expert operatives. The loss of power in the trans formation into electrical energy would be as great as if steam Instead of gas were used. Gas engines of a stated horsepow er.are always heavier than steam engines of similar power. Thus a gas establish ment, besides costing mere for operation, would sink the skip'deeper in the water and make her progress slower and more expensive. Furthermore, no gas engine of more than a few hundred horsepower has ever been constructed, and it might prove diflioult to get any builder to contract for gas engines that would develop the 10,000 or more horsepower required by the mod ern ocean-going vessel. It is possible that gasoline might be employed, as in automobiles, but it would prove so ex pensive that it could not be made profita ble. Gas, gasoline and electricity are un questionably good things; according to Mr. Durand, but there is a limit to their avail ability. The time may come when inven tion will adapt them to ocean going ships; but that time is not present, nor Is it in sight. During the past week or two a num ber of Northern Republican newspapers have shown symptoms of the deepest an guish. and almost despair for our civili zation, because of the plainly proclaimed purpose of the white people of North Carolina to take from the blacks the priv ilege of voting and thus exercising the balance of political power. But not one of those Northern papers, so far as we have observed, has had a word to say In protest against the taking away, at Niagara Falls, In New York state, of the privilege of the negroes to earn a living by driving hacks and carriages. Whether the black man shall be permitted to earn a living by honest work Is a matter of much more interest to him than whether he shall be permitted to cast a ballot. In North Carolina the negro has been put on notice that he cannot vote except un der certain conditions. At Niagara Falls, In New York, he has been informed that he cannot work If he comes into competi tion with white men. The Georgia Academy for the Blind, nt Macon, is making efforts to ascertain Ihe names, and addresses of all blind young persons of the school nge in the state, with a view to rendering them the aid which has been generously offered by the slate. It is said that the number of pupils now in attendance at the school Is smaller than, there is reason to believe. It should be. No doubt many parents or guardians of blind children are not aware that there is such an institution in Geor gia as that at Macon. In that case, they will be pleased to receive the informa tion embodied above, and will lose no time dn communicating with the superin tendent. Notfedy Is this country feels any sym pathy for William Waldorf Asior because of the trouble into which he got himself in England by insulting Sir Berkeley Milne. It is said that he has closed his magnificent mansion on the Thames and has offered his newspaper for sale. The belief Is that he has about made up his mind to quit England. The question is. where will he go? He has given up his citizenship in this country and if he gives up his citizenship in England he will be a man without a country. If he should de cide to return to New York it is doubtful if his reception would be such as to make him glad. It has been given out that Ex-Senator Gorman will be the Democratic campaign manager. He is without an equal as a political manager. If it is true that he will have control of the campaign for the Democrats it can be stated with consid erable certainty that nothing will be want ing in the effort to achieve victory.

CURRENT comment. The New York Evening Post (Ind.) says: “Silence somelimes has a significance more impressive than speech. Such is the cose when the man who was McKinley's chief rival for the Republican nomination in 1896, and who was elected 'Speaker of the Republican House in 1897, says that he is 'too busy a man' to make any speeches for the party this year. The election in Mr. Reed's own state comes next month, and it will be the first time in thirty years that he has not been on the stump." Speaking of the adoption in North Caro lina of the constitutional amendment elim inating the negro vote, the Philadelphia Times (Ind.) says: “For the present it makes North Carolina overwhelmingly Democratic, but with the race Issue elimi nated. that for many years has held the whltee in political bondage because of the fear of negro supremacy, new political lines are likely to be speedily formed in the stale aud permanent Democratic* su premacy is far from being sure.” The Nashville American (Dem.) says: “This is a free country and any man can advocate what he wills—free trade, high tariff, prohibition, common ownership of everything (Socialism) and still be within the law. Anything but anarchy, for an archy means without government, and It means murder. The man that advocates anarchy should be arrested on tl\e spot and expelled from the United States' Con gress should pass a law giving United States courts power to do this.” The Hartford (Conn.) Times (Dem.) says: "The anarchy which throws bombs and plots murder Is much more startling and shocking than that which overthrows so ciety hy making c*lvil officers corrupt, or stealing elections, but It probably does less actual harm to civilization, and those who practice it are much more likely to iiuy the proper penalty for their offense." A < harmed Life. The scenery along the Kentucky river above and below Harrodsburg has been justly compared to the highlands of the Hudson, says the Youth’s Companion. Towering cliffs, hundreds of feet in height, impress the beholder. In “His torical Sketches of Kentucky” an inci dent is told of one of the highest of these. Jolham Strout was hoeing corn in the bottom just opposite the ferry, when his attention was attracted by a rattling noise above his head. Looking up he was staggered at seeing a man tumbling down the fearful precipice, now touching and grasping at a twig, now at a root, with out being ahV to check himself. Finally, with a crashing of limbs, he landed in the top of a buckeye tree, about fifty feet above the general level of the bottom. Mr. Strout ran to the place with all haste, dreading to find a dead man. and not doubting he would be terribly in jured, if alive; for the distance the man had fallen waa 170 feet, and from the last point where he had touched the rock to the top of the tree where he lodged was forty-five feet. Fancy Mr. Strouf’s surprise, then, to find the man standing erect at the foot of the tree, feeling of his arms and body. ‘Are you hurt?” cried Mr. Strout. “That's what I m trying to find out. my friend.” was the answer. It’s my im pression that I am alive, but rather sore.” Not a bone was broken, and despite a few bruises, the man seemed to be as sound as before the terrible fall. “That fellow bore a charmed life,” was Mr. Strout’s remark whenever he told the story. Proved It to Him. “Whew!” exclaimed the ordinary man In the car. turning to his neighbor, “is this hot enough for you?” The one addressed carefully laid down his i a per. removed his glasses and faced his questioner, says the Indianapolis Sun. “My friend,” he commenced, “in order for us to discuss this question with any degree of intelligence, we must first un derstand each other. By ‘this.’ I suppose you refer to the weather. Yes, sir this is hot enough for me, and I will prove, my dear sir. why such a thing is possible. Tne thermometer —at lest the last one I noticed—registered 115 degrees in the shade. That is something like blood heat. I believe, and, according to physicians, is dangerous. Five or six persons have suf fered sunstrokes, I understand, and with out the slightest doubt it was hot enough for them. Another thing. I saw you were wiping your brow. That alone would prove that your brow was heated, or else, as is possible, understand, you may be suffering from a cold sweat. However. I believe the i* rspiration on your brow is caused by heat. Therefore, with five or six sunstrokes within the last hour, the sweat running from your brow' and the thermometer registcrirg 115 degrees in the shade, we have three distinct ar guments to prove that it is hot enough for both of us Have you any argument to advance to the contrary, sir?” But the ordinary man had turned his back, noi even responding when his friend reached over and pulled him violently by the shoulders. Into the Bine Empyrean, I was whispering low to the girl in the gauzy glimmer of lace and tulle, says a writer in London Answers, She had bent her lovely, nedk to catch my words. Murmurously they floated outward and fell upon the pearly, pink-white ear as crystal drops touch silver cords and waken sweetest music sleeping there. "You are so much to me,” I said. “In all the dozen years since first my heart responsive grew to woman's sweet solici tude, there has been none whose fingers spanned the octave of my soul and wrought the manly harmonies dormant there into a living theme. “No face but yours has brought to me the face of angels, fair and pure, beyond ths skies that bend above the earth, far, far removed from all its sordid thoughts, its groveling cares, its motiveless material ism. In you concentered all my dreams ure realized, my hopes to full fruition come, my dearest wishes made my own.” Slowly she lifted that fair, sweet face, until her soft blue eyes looked into mine. Then she laid her little hand upon my arm. “William.” she murmured, "won’t you please come off the roof?” And as I clambered down I recalled the fact that I hod tackled an American girl. Ilian anil W urn an. From the Boston Globe. Once Woman took a hint from Man, And at the same time took his shirt; If now he takes a hint from her And take her shirtwaist, too, who's hurt? Shall he be shamed? Shall Woman show More courage and more sense than he? Since her shirt doesn't, why should his, Uncovered, shock propriety? Shall Woman now monopolize The comfort that a shirt confers On humid, hot humanity When it is worn as she wears hers? Why should he swelter on, nor dare To dream that he's for dinner dressed Until hls shirt is all but hid From sight beneath a coat and vest?

Saving: Himself. Speaking of green reporters, says the Salt Lake Herald, Col. D. C. Dcdge, vice president of the Rio Grande Western, upon the occasion of his last visit here, told a story at the expense of the fra ternity that will bear repeating. “Some time ago, after an absence from Denver.” he said, "I was approached by a young man whom I had not seen be fore, to my recollection. 'How are you, orlonel?’ he said, by way of introduction. ‘I have been sent down to interview you.’ ” Yes.' I answered; 'what do you want to know?’ ” ‘Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know myself,' answered the reporter. “ ‘Well, that is strange.' I said 'The Post man has been down here, and he knew what to ask me, and 1 answered him.' •' 'Well, tell me Just what you told him and we wdl call it square,’ said th? young fellow.

Mr. Reed was silent, but the good Con gressman opened hls Bible and read aloud chapter after chapter, and as he read, something of his childhood faith came buck to Thomas B.

Greene by name, claims some degree of fame by reason of the fact that on a pos tal card 8x5% inches in extent he has written 14.685 words, consisting of this mixture: Declaration of Independence, 1.309; constitution of the United Srates, with preamble and amendments. 5.800; the articles of confederation of the original states, 3,460; the Lord’s prayer. 67; the One Hundred and Nineteenth Psalm, 2,435; 145 lines of Longfellow’s “Evangeline,” 1.614. —The Rev. W. F Sheridan, of Pontiac, Mich., tells this story: *‘A large and heavy woman, accompanied by a compar atively small and meek looking man, had come in and asked to he married. Every thing was regular, and the ceremony performed. After it was all over the bride explained h€r position. ‘You see, Mr. Sheridan,’ she said, ‘farm hands are mighty hard to get in this part of ihp country, and they are even harder to keep. You get a good hired man and get him well broke in to work around the farm, and the first thing you know he quits the job and goes off to town or somewhere else. Last spring I had a first class hand, about as good as I ever ex pect to get, but just when the season got right busy he up and quit me. I just made up my mind that I wasn’t going to be left in the same fix this summer, so here we are.’ The bridegroom in the case simply stood and smiled meekly. He had nothing at all to say.” —A series of experiments has been car ried on in Russia recently on plant life as referred to electricity. They were on three different lines, one being a repeti tion of the well known one showing that electrified seeds germinate more rapidly and give better crops than those that have not been so treated. The nexA ex periment was burying in the soil one copper and one zinc plate between which electricity was allowed to pass. It was found that potatoes and roots grown in the space electrified gave crops three times heavier than those not so treated. In his third test, M. Spveshnoff, the in vestigator, started out on original lines. He placed on his experimental plat, about ten yards apart, wooden posts surmount ed with metallic aigrettes connected by wires, so as to cultivate his plants under a network of wire®. One of the most striking of the barley crop was acceler ated by.< twelve days. The cost of the proeees would prevent its use in a prac tical way by farmers, but it is believed that it might be adopted with advantage in hot houses. —Experimental work has been going on for some time at Milwaukee, Wis.. on a submarine boat of the Raddatz type, and those conducting it seem to be pleased with the result®. The boat is about six ty-five feet long and four feet diameter in the middle, tapering to a point at the ends, and is of the typical cigar shape. At the top of the boat are two conning towers twenty inches in diameter. When cruieing on the surface the boat is driven by an oil engine of about ten horse-power, which is capable of giving the vfessel a speed of from six to seven miles an hour. When submerged the boat is driven by an electric motor fed from sixty-two cells of storage battery, and giving power to produce a speed of four to four and a half miles an hour. The boat can sink in from thirty to forty second®, and reaches a depth of forty feet below the surface. The ascent is made just as quickly. It is claimed that three men could remain below the surface eight hours, and two men at least twelve hours without any inconvenience; this In the small experi mental boat. The boat carries its own supply of compressed air. —“One of the leaders of the revolt of the Indians in Southern Yucatan is an out and-out American hobo," said a well know*n Central American business man who arrived in the last steamer from Be lize, says the New York Telegraph. "The name of the fellow is George Harris, and no doubt there is a very interesting story behind the role he has assumed at pres ent Harris went to Belize as a roust about on a banana steamer over three years ago. I saw him soon after he struck town and I never laid eyes on a finer Spec imen of the genus tramp. He looked ex actly like the Weary Willie caricatures one sees on the variety stage and in the comic weeklies, and he boldly declared that 'he didn’t propose to do a lick of any kind of work. He said if we didn't feed him he would starve and disgrace the community. That passed as a Joke for a while, but finally the people got tired of him. and he found it advisable to mi grate up the coast. The next I saw of Mr. Harris was when he put in on ap pearance with a party to sell some ma hogany and logwood. He told me he had been adopted Into the tribe, and I could see by the way he was'treated that he was regarded as a personage of impor tance. That was his first and last trip lo town, but 1 have since heard of him frequently. He is now head man of a frlbe of several thousand which has fig ured prominently in the recent uprising, and when all the facts are known it wouldn't surprise me if Harris turned out to be the main Instigator of the whole af fair. I believe he comes from Detroit. Mich. It Is certainly a strange freak oi (cue that a lazy, good-nacured American tramp should eventually turn out a* th leader of a band of hostile Indians and an .embryo nation-maker."
