Is lo excellent health, uml has been In
every particular a well matt since the
latter part of August, but for some rea
-1 -on unknown to the public he lingers on
I his New Hampshire "State, although mat
in's of the greatest Importance ore all the
lime occupying the atti ntloet of the state
department.
There la. of course, a great deal of spec
u’atlon as to why Mr llay does not re
turn to Wa-hlugtott. Aa already stated It
Is pretty generally believed that lie has
not conducted the foretell affairs of the
governin'at In a manner satisfactory to
•he President. This belief may not. of
c.'Urve, It* well founded, hut It Is the only
r asotiatdc explanation of the action of
the H* retarv in remaining away from bis
duties at a lime when the office of
which he Is th official head t* playing *
Important part In the affairs of tha
wo. Id
The supposition I* that the policy of the
Mate d-partin'nt In Chines* (natters was
too closely patterned after that of Oroat
Britain. Before Mr. Hay went to his New
Hampshire estate on the plea that he
was ill and Heeded rt. the newspapers
sere saying that he wos so British In his
sympathies and sen' 1 merits that It was
impossible for him to tfo anything that he
thought would not have the approval of
his British frier <ts New spa per talk of
that k;nd wa doing the Republican party
a good deal of harm. As much as the
Ataeri<xit>- admire ar.d rcr-p'Ot the British
people they are no! divosed to play the
second fiddle to them They ara willing to
admit all that Is calmed for the British
as long as the aim l*>n Is accompanied
with the understanding that America
leads the way and Great Britain follows.
It is probably true that Mr. Hay became
pretty thoroughly saturated with British
Ideas and sentiments while he represented
this country at the Court of Ht James.
Since hi* return he has not got fully
Americanised again No doubt he tried lo
bay* a distinct American policy when ho
was placed at the head of the state de
part ment, hot he could not hide hi* real
feelings from the pubic, and many mer
ciless cartoons were published—cartoons
that were galling to the prido of the
American people and must have caused
the President some ; leepless nights.
There Is no tntlm.'tton that Mr Hay Is
to leave the cabinet. He ha* done, some
good we k In the state department Per
haps It Is the plan of the President to have
him remain In the cool climate of New
Hampshire until the campaign is so far
advanced that there will be but little
chance for his British leanings. If they
should be delected, to have a damaging
• fleet on the prospects of the Republican
party for success. But Mr. Hay cannot
be having a very happy time under such
circumstance*.

THIS INITIAL R ALLY.
| The political meeting held at the Thea-
I ter oei Thursday night should be follow
| ,and by a number of others In thia county
i before the end of the national campaign.
| The r.-solutions adopted point out why the
! people of this county should he active In
j the • Hinpiigo-mui h more active than they
have been since the campaign began. Ow-
I ing to the growing commerce of this port
there t* need for still deeper water In
, Savannah harbor. The 'lepth of the
hincl Is now about twenty-six feet
I rum the city's wliarvew to the sea at
n■ m high water Theie -houkl be 'wen
i ty-etght or thirty fee It Is the Inlest
| tlon to mik' n effort next winter to get
| en approptiaiton for deeper water.
It Is well understood that Savannah m
largely dependent njvin her commerce,
i She has great nalurtil advantages and
splendid railroad communication with a
vast extent of rich and productive coun
try. The tendency Is towards bigger
-hips, because bigger ships mean lower
ocean fn ight rates.
Our pre-in' representative In Congress,
Col. lower, has served this district and
tins county remarkably well. He has been
• long m Congreas that he iwa a great
deal of influence In that body. He In able
therefore to get more from the govern
ment for this port than anew man
would.
It Is Important to Havannah. In fact to
the whole district, because the whole dis
trict I* interested in deeper water nt this
port, that Col. Lester shall be sent back
to Washington. We do not. of course,
■aive any douhl aimut his re-*tectloii.

and safety pi this matter Is lor the pe.
pie to go to the polls on election day and
vote for bun
Even If he should not have opposition. It
wculd be a mure* of satisfaction to him to
get a big vote, because n big vote shows
that his efforts to promote the welfare of
his district are appro lated. A man who
feels that his work 1* appreciated, will
do more than if he have reason to think
that those to whom he is responsible are
Indifferent Therefore, there ought to b
many more political meetings In rhts city,
snd Cos! Leister should be re-elected by
a big vole.
A RIM CMHIU'PTIO* FI AD.
On Ihe authority of Senator I*. If. Mc-
Carren. the New York Times publishes a
statement that Senator Hanna bos ralsted
a corruption fund of between S.OOU.OOC
snd pn.th'.klO. The eenator said that he
had the names of the corporations which
Mr. Hanna had “held up." but that he
would not give them at this time, because
he would violate a pledge by doing so.
According lo Rotator McCarren. It Is
ihe intention of the Republicans to lit
erally buy the presidency. It Is not their
purpose to use the money | n New York
City, but In the rural eountles of New
York state, and in Indiana. Illinois and
other doubtful stales.
There is no doubt that the Republicans
have plenty of money. They had all the
money they wanted |n 18. It |g assert
ed by Senator McCarren that the Republi
can lenders have promised that there shall
bo no legislation during the next four
years hostile to trusts if the Republican
purly Is successful, and that there shall
he no reduction In the tariff Assuming
that the statement which Senator McCar
ren makes Is true, tt Is a question how
long the people will stand such wholesale
Corruption In politics.
It Is probable that the Democrats would
uee more money also If they had It. They
have not got It. and there Is no probabil
ity of their getting R. Home of the Mary
hind lea-ier* of the Democratic party are
romplalnmg that the Democrats are like
ly to lose that s:ate because of the lack
of mone> with which to hunt up Demo
crat* and get them to register. The Re
lat hi leans are seeing to It that the ntem.
hers of their party or* registered.
The truth |s that the Democrat* have
not money enough to eend out speeches
and other campaign material. It is safe
t© say that the great majority of their
speakers are not getting a cent for their
services. 1# Is certain that if Mr. McKin
ley should be elected he would owe his
success largely to the free use of money
AN UNIItpPf |,OT OF It 111 FATOtI a.
The directors of the Trailers* Fire In
surance Company of New York are fnr
from being in a happy frame of mind.
They Include a doxen of more of the most
prominent men tn the ffnanct*! and so
cial life of the metropolis. Among them
are two of the Gould brothers, Senator
De|n w, John Jacob Aster, ex-Beerotary
of the Navy BonJ. F. Tracey, ex-Seoator
Warner Miller, and other men of Ihut
class.
They certified that tho capital of the
comptny was unimpaired and that there
was a surplus ot shout U.©> In bank As
a matter of fact the capital had disappear
ed and ihe surplus was not to be found
when wanted. The law Is quite
severe, holding everybody responst
be who signs a fradulent state
ment by which the public Is de
ceived." It terms that many policies are
outstanding, about all of which were tak
en chit on the strength of the statement
published over the signatures of the ex
ceptionally strong board of directors.
Of course every one of the directors now
says that he knows nothing about the
matter—that he signed the statement be
rause the accountant* who have rhnrge
of the company's affairs slated to the
board that tl was correct.
The fad Is probably that not a single
one of the directors ever took the trouble
to Inquire Into the affairs of the company.
They permitted themselves doubtless to be
elected directors of the concern either to
oblige friends or to get the compensation
provided for attendance at directors’
meetings- They must hove been aware,
of course, that thetr names were a big
advertise tuna for the company. They do
not seem to have bothered themselves,
however, as to whether or not the public
was being misled.
They ought not to be excused because of
their prominence. It Is satd not to be the
Intention of the district attorney to pass
unnoticed their offense. The mailer Is
to be thoroughly Investigated. Prosevutlon
of the directors will doubtless have a good
effect. It will teach other directors that
If they accept places of responsibility they
must be faithful In the discharge of Ihelr
duties. They cannot have the honors and
emoluments and then. wbn trouble comes
from neglect of duty. Head Ignorance.
Yes, the weather Is unseasonably warm.
But then there are mitigating ctr urn
stances. The price of coal is soaring sky
ward. and the end ot the strike Is aoi
yet in sight.
Advertisement* are appearing In ecmt
of the PenueylvauL newapapi-rs offering
thouaands of Southern neg roe* for work
In the anthracite coal region*. Just where
the adveettner* expect to get their negro
laborers la a question. Commenting on the
appearance of the advert toomonts Ihs
Philadelphia Record says: "No order for
the Importation of negro miners from Iho
Southern atates to work In the Pennsyl
vania mine* In place of the striker* should
be given without a previous Investigation
Into ihe character of tl* negroes. The at
tempt of the min* owners at Vlrden. 111.,
two years ago, to Import Alabama miners
led to bloodshed and to an Inquiry which
Induced the Governor of Illinois to pro
hllill Ihe bringing of Southern negroes In
to that state It was found that In tha
neighborhood of Birmingham <tnl at other
coal center* In the South there were many
ex-convtcts who had served In the stats
mines a* miners under compulsion. In
cluded In their numbers were many of
the dangerous and turbulent criminal
blacks of the South, of whom the Ala
bama communities were glad to tic ri I on
any terms " The Record will hardly flnd
tenable the position that the reason the
blacks were not permitted to wotk at
Vlrdea and elsewhere In Illinois ww* be
cause there were ex-convtrte among thoir
number*. The fact was, no doubt, that
they were not wanted In the Vlrden mines,
and the Governor prohibited them from
entering the state, because they were ne
groes; because their skins were black,
and they wve coming into competition
with the labor of white men
Magistrate Elsehbrown of Philadelphia,
silting recently In the trial of a rnrtn ac
cused of ballot box frauds, Indignantly
exclaimed "The pollution of the ballot

Cored tlMalkand of Profanity.
Women who have , profane husbands
would do well to take a leaf from the book
of the wife of a Houth Hide doctor, save
an exchange. The young physician In
question had permitted himself to fall in
to the habit of Indulging In profanity
about the house on any and ail oceaslons
when thing* dkt not go Jut to suit him.
Her pleading lo have him stop had no of
fers. so she deetded that whenever he
swot*' 111 the house she- would do a little
cursing herself. Th> remedy proved lo be
a Isxanerang. and greatly humiliated them
both, but It certainly was effectual.
One evening they earn* home together
at Just about the dinner hour, and the
drs-tor, having call to make, was con
siderably vex'd to tlud the evening meal

'That cook I* never on time,” he
said, using an adjective not fit for publi

another."
"Ye*, that —— cook U n nuisance."
-hod hi* wife, repeating the adjective.
"I’ll certainly hove to get rid of her."
T!i. doctor was somewhat taken aback
at hearing hi* wife u*e an oath, but he
went on damning things In general, and
every time he swore his wife swore nftcr
him.
They hud pi I eat up quite n <ho Ice collec

a slight rough and the movement of some

fice. which vjiened off the hall. The doc
