enjoyed it.

West was the exception that is sup

A small boy. a dog and a rabbit led
to the discovery in Kentucky the other
day of what is believed to be a very
rich zinc mine. The dog chased the
rabbit into a hollow in the side of a
hill. The boy, eager to bag his game,
proceeded to dig the rabbit out. In
excavating he found lumps of a queer
looking mineral. These he put into
his Docket and carried home. They
proved to be lumps of “turkey fat”
zinc, almost 95 per cent. pure. Alining
is now going on in the boy's rabbit
hole.

The Republican majority of the New
York Legislature sees a chance for
creating six new and rather fat of
fices, and it may grab them. A bill
has been introduced in the House le
galizing boxing in the state and creat
ing the office of state commissioner
of athletic sports, under whose di
rection boxing matches may be held.
The commissioner, whose salary is to
be $3,000 a year, is to have five depu
ties to assist him in keeping the "no
ble art” moving along in lawful chan
nels. The opportunities for “shake
downs" and “rake-offs” that will be
afforded by these new offices will
make some of the old Tammany
crowd's mouths water, ,
INFRIENDLY TO MR. HILL.
Mr. Bryan is beginning hts war on
j ex-Senator David B. Hill early. Evl
! dently he wants it understood that he
propose® to prevent his nomination for
President by the Democratic party If
it is possible to do so. Mr. Bryan de
votes a page of his paper. The Com
moner, this week to Air. Hill and his
candidacy. He assumes that it was
Air. Kill's purpose to have it under
stood that the speech he delivered at
the Manhattan Club banquet on Feb.
22 was an announcement of his can
didacy for the presidential nomination
of the Democratic party in 1904. and.
also that it contained the issues on
which the Democratic party should
conduct the presidential campaign.
It is a fair inference from what Mr.
Bryan stays that he is opposed to Air.
Hill, because, among other reason, Air.
Hill did not give him an enthusiastic
support in 1196 and 1900. He says that
Mr. Hill was a skulker and a repudi
ator during those two campaigns. “He
refused," said Mr. Bryan, "to give a
single word of encouragement to the
Democratic ticket during the cam
paign, and, as a result, whatever in
fluent e he had was thrown against
the party. When the campaign was
over he wrote a carefully prepared
campaign article assailing the Demo
cratic platform and argued in favor
of repudiating it.”
Very naturally Air. Bryan feels ag
grieved at the course that Mr. HHI
pursued in the last two national cam
paigns, and it is hardly to be expect
ed that he would say a kind word for
him, even if he believed that the party
was about to follow Air. Hill’s advice
as to the issues on whioh the Demo
cratic party should conduct the next
national campaign, but if he thinks
that the party will sympathize with
him to the extent of repudiating Mr.
Kill, if the latter seems to be the man
to lead it in 1904, he is greatly mis
taken.
The party is not so much concerned
•about a quarrel that Mr. Bryan and
Mr. Hill may have as it is to win the
control of the government in the
next national contest. The party Will
not think the less of Mr. Bryan for
his opposition to Air. Hill, but it will
not follow him in opposing Mr. Hill if
it believes that Air. Hill can unite the
Democrats and lead them to victory.
It is not yet certain of course that
the wing of the party with which Mr.
Hill is indentified 4s going to domi
nate in the next national oampaign,
but in view of the fact that the two
campaigns under Mr. Bryan's leader
ship resulted in defeats it would not
be surprising if there should be a con
trolling sentiment in favor of giving It
a trial.
THE IRRIGATION BILL.
The Senate passed the other day,
with very little debate and practically
no opposition, the bill providing for
the irrigation of the arid lands of the
West. So little stir was created by the
bringing of the measure before the Sen
ate that it appears the friends of irri
gation have the passage of the bill
“cinched." And yet it is a bill Involving
the ultimate expenditure of literally
hundreds of millions of dollars. The
New York Journal of Commerce dis
cussing the bill the other day said re
specting it; “The'financial undertak
ing is the most extensive that has ever
been proposed by any government
apart from a war for the nation’s hon
or or existence.”
It is estimated that 20,000,000 acres of
land are now available for irrigation.
The average cost of irrigation is placed
at sls per acre. Thus there is an ex
penditure of $300,000,000 already in
sight. The scheme contemplates the
irrigation of all of the accessible arid
lands of the public domain, the work
to be extended as rapidly as may he
possible. These accessible lands are
calculated at 60,000,000 acres. There is
therefore a possible expenditure of
$900,000,000 or more involved in the bill
that went through the Senate so
smoothly the other day. The lands
thus irrigated are to be disposed of
under the homestead law and not un
der the pre-emption law.
One argument for the passage of the
irrigation law is on the ground that
more lands for farms and homes are
wanted. Are the possibilities of those
Darts of the West where nature pro
vides sufficient moisture exhausted? If
they are, those of the South are abun
dant. There is room in the South for
hundreds of thousands of farmers on
acres that are just as rich as those
that would he reclaimed in the West by
irrigation. These Southern lands are
watered by nature. Their cost would
be no more, and probably less, than
the ultimate cost of the irrigated West
ern lands. In the South the home
seekers would take no risk of trouble
over water rights, such as are almost
inevitably bound to occur in the Irri
gated sections because of the conflict
ing and involved water laws of the
arid states and territories. Nature has
already done for the South, without
cost to anybody, what it is proposed
Congress shall do for the West; and in
addition the South’s climate is more
genial than that of the arid section.
It may be that Congress is being
given some very strong reasons why
the irrigation scheme should go
through, but it cannot be that one of
the good reasons is a need for more
farming lands. That reason cannot be
consistently urged while there are so
many acres of unoccupied, idle lands
ir. the South, only waiting to be tickled
to smile crops.

The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court denying the right
of the City Council of Detroit to reg
ulate fares on the street railways in
that city during the life of existing
franchises, is the culmination of a
fight that was begun by the late ex-
Mayor Pingrce nearly twelve years
ago. In view of this decision, the
time for cities to regulate their street
railways is when they grant franchises
to them.

The Virginia Constitutional Conven
tion has been In session nine months,
and the date of adjournment is still
not in sight. It has been impossible
to reach an agreement with respect to
the franchise question. From present
indications the convention will round

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MARCH 8. 1902.
THE MISSIJMITI MOVEMENT.
As we predicted, the resolution,
adopted by the lower branch of the
Alississippi Legislature by an almost
unanimous vote, favoring an alliance
between the South and the North and
East—a political and business alliance
—is attracting a great deal of atten
tion. In the East it is understood to
mean that the Democrats of Mississippi
are ready to drop free silver and to
unite with the Democrats of the North
and East in making a platform and
nominating a candidate for President
that will command the united support
of the Northern and Eastern Demo
crats .
There is no doubt that if the Demo
cratic party is to win in the next na
tional campaign it must be united. It
cannot be unSted on a platform that
contains a declaration in favor of free
sliver. That appears to be the opin
ion of the Democrats of Alississippi,
ar.d they have practically said, through
their representatives in the Legisla
ture of their state, that they are ready
to abandon the free silver declaration
—at least for the time berfng.
If the other Southern states take
a similar position there is no doubt
that the sliver declaration will not ap
pear in the next national platform of
the Democratic party. The delegates
from the South, North, and East will
compose an overwhelming majority of
the national convention.
Will Democrats in other Southern
states take an early opportunity to in
dicate their purpose in respect to free
silver? If they do the question as to
the character of the next Democratic
platform will be pretty clearly under
stood a long time before the meeting
of the Democratic National Convention.
It is not improbable that the purpose
of the Southern Democrats will be
made evident in the conventions nom
inating candidates for Congress. It is
in the power of the South, to a very
great extent, to say what the character
of the next Democratic national plat
form shall be. In fact, since the ac
tion taken by the Mississippi Legisla
ture, it Is probable that the Democrats
in other parts of the coun
try will expect the Democrats
of the South to take the lead in that
matter. It would not be surprising
therefore if the South should play the
most conspicuous part in harmonizing
the Democratic party-—should practi
cally dictate the platform and name
the presidential candidate.
A LIVELY INFANT INDUSTRY.
About the liveliest infant industry
that has bothered Congress for many
a day is that of beet sugar. The Re
publicans of the House have been try
ing for weeks to find a way to give
some relief to the Cuban sugar plant
ers that would not result in ill-feel
ing in their party, and thus far they
have been unsuccessful. They say it'
is all on account of the beet sugar in
dustry. In view of the fact that it has
been but a few years since that in
dustry came into existence in this
country its influence in Congress is
surprisingly great.
Some of the Republican leaders
want to reduce the tariff on Cuban
sugar 20 per cent., provided Cuba will
reduce her tariff on certain American
imports to that extent and adopt our
immigration and exclusion laws. The
beet sugar growers won’t agree to
that. Their plan is to collect the full
duty on Cuban sugar and then give
the Cuban planters a bounty amount
ing to 20 per cent, of the amount col
lected, That plan would not do at
all, for the reason that the American
people are opposed to the bounty sys
tem and also because it would be cer
tain to be attended by scandal.
And there seems to be a desire on
the part of some Republicans to give
Cuba no relief whatever. The point
they make is that if Cuba is given as
sistance she will not ask for annex
ation in the next fifty years.
It is pretty hard to get at the truth
of what is going on in Washington.
There are no doubt schemes of which
thei public hears nothing. Asa matter
of fact if we are under obligations to
lend Cuba a helping hand we ought
to discharge the obligation promptly,
and without any regard to the ques
tion as to whether or not annexation
would be delayed. It is by no means
certain that annexation would be a
good thing for this country. We have
got about as much of the race ques
tion now as we know what to do with.
Annexation would make that question
even more troublesome than it Is.
Mr. Nikola Tesla, who is one of the
most promising workers in the whole
field of electricity, says that “the ulti
mate use of the wireless system will be
the supplying of power sufficient to run
machinery in London with the power
created at Niagara Falls.” What a
marvelous prospect! When the prob
lem has been worked out, the coal
mines and the steam engines will have
to go out of business. There will be
heat, light and power everywhere. All
the consumer will need to do will be
to reach up Into the air and draw
down a supply of electricity to do
whatever may be desired. Distance
will then be literally annihilated, in so
far as power is concerned. Ships will
throw their boilers and engines over
board and plow the waves under the
impulse of propellers energized at Ni
agara Falls. All the Powers will need
to construct new navies, since the old
ships with their great weight of ma
chinery and coal will immediately be
come obsolete. Indeed, It staggers the
imagination to think of the marvelous
things that will occur when Mr. Tesla
perfects his apparatus for transmitting
power by wireless method from Niag
ara to London.
The Connecticut Constitutional Con
vention lias refused to strike out of the
constitution the word "Christian,”
written into the instrument 150 years
ago. The word appears in the pre
amble of the constitution in a clause
of the declaration of rights which pro
hibits the granting of any special ad
, vantage to “any Christian sect.” Ac
cording to Delegate Davenport, Con
necticut is the only state of the union
that now
gious any form of worship except that
of Christianity. He urged that tho
proper v ord to precede "sect” was
“religious" and not “Christian,”
Bishop Potter of New York congrat
ulated President Roosevelt upon hav
ing entertained Booker Washington.
"Since that time,” said Bishop Potter
the other evening at Carnegie Hall, “I
have received numerous letters from
people South of Mason and Dixon's
line entreating me not to show
myseif in their neighborhood, as
their Citizens had no desire to
entertain me.” There are some per
sons in the South, as there are in the
North and West, who write foolish
lelters. Some of these appear to have
addressed communications to Bishop
Potter. And the Bishop, it would seem,
is a man of some timidity. He has per
mitted the letter writers to create in
his mind the impression tha't if he
were to visit the South he would be
subjected to affront or indignity. As
a matter of fact, he would be as safe
in the South as in Brooklyn. It was
hardly in keeping with Bishop Pot
ter’s reputation as a broad-minded
man for him to reflect upon the whole
South by calling attention to these
letters as he did in Carnegie Hall. It
would have been more generous in the
Bishop to drop the letters in his waste
basket and forget them, except in his
prayers. The South doesn't approve
either the Bishop’s act in entertaining
Booker Washington at dinner or the
conduct of those who wrote threatening
letters to him in regard to it.
Is Count Leo Tolstoi dead? Nobody
seems to know. The last authentic ad
vices from him said he was in a pre
carious condition of healtl) and his
death was expected to occur at about
any time. But no word of him has
reached the public since about the mid
dle of last month. A New York lawyer
claims to have received a letter from
Russia a day or two ago in which It
was stated positively that Tolstoi died
on Feb. 15 at Yalta, in the Crimea. The
Russian government is believed to be
suppressing the news of his death,
fearing student riots would follow the
announcement. Under the rigid sys
tem of press censorship that obtains in
Russia no news reaches the public
against the wishes of the government.
A unique congressional campaign is
in progress in the Paducah district
of Kentucky—the district now repre
sented by Air. Wheeler of “little
Dutchman” fame. Mr. Greenup is
stumping the district for the nomina
tion. He is accompanied by his daugh
ter Lotta, who is an accomplished vio
linist. When her father has spoken,
Aliss Lotta plays the violin and sings
before the audiences. The innovation
is said to please the people.
Jacob S. Coxey, who leaped into no
toriety some years ago by leading an
army of tramps to Washington, is now
glad that he was made to "keep off the
grass.” He is in the iron and steel
business, and says he is making money.
"Business beats politics every time,”
he said to an interviewer a day or two
ago. _ |

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says:
“Albert J. Beveridge, the junior sen
ator from Indiana, was the Wash
ington’s birthday orator before the
Chicago Union League Club. In his
speech Air. Beveridge said the Wall
street wizard has disappeared, mean
ing probably that the capitalists who
a few years ago wielded an influence
with a .million dollars has dropped
from the throbbing contest. He seems,
however, tp have forgotten the high
priest of wizards, who regards a sin
gle million as a mere bagatelle and
builds upon billions. Day after day
newspapers show that the wizard is
still in the flesh. The only difference
is that he is so mighty that he has
swallowed the smaller fry either to
destroy or make them a part of his
corporate self.”
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
(Ind.) says: “The monetary circula
tion of the country suffered some con
traction during February, for the first
time in many months. Gold exports
formed one cause, and national bank
note withdrawals another. Notwith
standing the organization of new
banks, the not circulation has experi
enced a net decline (luring each of the
past two months, and the withdrawals
continue. But the act of March. 1900.
liberalizing the note issuing provisions
of the national bank law at least
served Its purpose of stimulating a
heavy monetary inflation to spread
the speculative boom through the pres
idential year and beyond.”
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: “The Washington correspon
dent of the New York Herald inti
mates that the pushers of the ship
subsidy bill, which is likely to pass
the Senate, will force it upon the re
luctant House by holding up the river
and harbor bill until a logrolling ar
rangement can be perfected to pass
both measures. Against this sort of
pressure the opponents of subsidy
should tight till the last gasp. The at
tempt to burglarize the Federal treas
ury in this fashion, if it shall be made,
will be of itself a sufficient argument
of condemnation.” ,
He Was Not —Ben Hur.”
Out in San Francisco a few days
ago, says the New York Commercial,
a man garbed after the fashion of a
Roman senator walked into the South
ern Pacific Railroad station and
bought a ticket for a suburban town.
He was bareheaded, and a light gray
blanket was gracefully draped about
his athletic figure. His legs were with
out clothing, and there were Roman
sandals on his feet. His chest was
rather exposed, but he bore himself
with the demeanor of an actor play
ing "Brutus” in "Julius Caesar.”
The policeman who guards the rail
road station thought at first that he
was dreaming when he saw the strange
figure loom up on the sidewalk, but
after looking at him critically he con
cluded that the gentleman in the toga
was mad or was an advertising de
vice.
San Francisco has been filled lately
with all sorts of queer street figures—
some dressed as cavaliers heralding
the merits of a brand of cigars, and
others dressed as Indians calling at
tention to a smoking tobacco. Only
recently thg policeman at the South
ern Pacific station arrested a man-who
walked on stilts nine feet high, and
who had been ordered to keep of the
streets on account of the excitement
that his presence aroused. That ar
rest had proved a difficult task, as
the patrol wagon was not long enough
to hold the man’s six feet and the nine
feet of stilts, and the fellow was land
ed at the city prison only after hav
ing had his legs cut off. However,
Policeman O'Conifbr thought the Ro
man senator legitimate prey and sent
him to the emergency hospital, where
injured and insane persons are exam
ined. The stranger protested at first,
but finally accompanied the policeman.
At the hospital he said that his name
was Herr, and smiled pleasantly when
asked if his first name was Ben. When
examined by the physicians he proved
himself possessed of extreme intelli
gence and a healthy body and mind,
and he entertained the doctors with
and recitation on his plan for preserv
ing strength and not growing old. He
said:
“Some years ago my physicians told
me that I would die from consump
tion. I was advised by a friend to
wear this costume, and to live out
doors. I am now in splendid condi
tion and, though one lung is gone,
I enjoy life immensely and expect to
be a centenarian. I allow the wind to
blow’ freely on my person, and thus
ward off any microbes that may be
circulated. I have lately come from
Portland, and make a good living by
lecturing upon this new health* cos
tume that I have adopted. I am also
an artist and a lover of nature.”
Then, turning to the red-faced “cop”
who was standing dismayed and open
mouthed nearby, the Roman Senator
said: “My good man, if you would
shake off those heavy clothes you wear,
doff that helmet and those heavy bro
gans, and wear nothing but my blan
ket and sandals, you would not have
that great paunch, and yod would be
a different man.”
Mr. Herr expresses his intention of
coming to New York in the summer,
and Broadway “cops” may have a
chance to take him in.
Stories by mid of Bacon.
Senator Bacon of Georgia, is fond
of telling a story about Allison, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American. It dates
back to the- days before the Republi
cans declared themselves opposed to
free silver, and when Allison, regard
ing himself as a very decided presi
dential possibility, was waiting to see
how affairs would shape themselves
before making up his own mind on the
subject.
Allison, Bacon, Chandler and sev
eral other senators had gone to Phil
adelphia to witness a launching, and
were seated upon the upper deck of
a steamer provided for their use. The
senator from lowa was in the best of
spirits, told stories and discussed pub
lic questions with great freedom and
spirit. Suddenly the conversation
shifted to the silver question.
Bacon himself had made a statement
bearing upon the subject, and he turn
ed to Allison for confirmation of his
views. To his astonishment he saw
that the lowa man had dropped into
a deep slumber, from which it was im
possible to arouse him until silver had
been eliminated from the discussion.
Senator Bacon is, himself, the sub
ject of a story that explains why he
no longer wears the flowing side-whis
kers which were once his pride and
chief claim to distinction.
Anew roller skating rink was open
ed in the senator’s town, and'he was
invited to attend the preliminary ex
ercises. When these were concluded,
the senator allowed someone to strap
a pair of skates to his feet, and he
glided across the floor with much
grace, and with his whiskers floating
out on either side in the breeze.
The place was crowded, and the sen
ator, making his way through the
throng, was suddenly confronted by
a young man and a young woman,
engaged in the last struggle to remain
upon their feet. They were holding
each other by the hand, and as the
senator bore down on them they re
ceived him as a drowning man would
a rope.
With one spasmodic effort, the pair
threw themselves at the startled
statesman: each seized, a whisker and
clung to it like a frightened woman
to a car strap while going around a
curve. For a moment the senator sup
ported the two, but the strain and
the phock and the pain were too much
for him. His feet went from under him
and the trio fell in a heap, while low
browed and unsympathetic men of
coarse fibre laughed until the tears
•streamed down their brutal faces.
When the senator had extricated him
self he went directly to a barber shop
and had his face shaved as smooth as
it is to-day.
How the Archbishop Escaped.
It is credibly reported that Arch
bishop Corrigan’s acceptance of the
invitation to the banquet in honor of
Brince Henry gave offense to a por
tion of hi3 priesthood, says the New
York Times. They did not perceive
any justification for an agreement, on
the part of so conspicuous a prelate of
the church, to do this honor to a no
toriously Protestant Prince. But the
Archbishop silenced them and closed
the opening question by falling into
the fresh excavation behind the Cathe
dral, and so severely bruising him
self that it was physically impossible
for him to take part in the festivity.
Said one of the disaffected ecclesias
tics:
"That was not a bad notion of
‘Mike’s,’ to get himself out of one hole
by falling into another!”

Representative Cowherd of Alissouri,
was stopped in a corridor of the Capitol
to-day, says the Washington corre
spondence of the Philadelphia North
American, by a man who greeted him
with the inquiry: “What do you
know?”
"That," said Cowherd, “reminds me
of a constituent of mine. He was a
brainy young lawyer, but no business
came to him, and he was getting des
perate. His affaire were in very ex
asperating shape one day, when a man
stopped him and asked him in all
friendliness what he knew’.
"What do I know?” he cried angrily.
"I’ll tell you what I know’. I know a
blank sight more than there seems
to be any market for in these parts."
ABOUT CATARRH CURES.
The Heason Why Inhalers and Local
Application!! Are Useless.
For many years catarrh was consid
ered to be a lccal disease and was
treated entirely by local remedies,
salves, ointments, powders, sprays and
inhalers, and nearly all of these gave
a temporary relief, but a genuine per
manent cure was very rare.
It is true the most annoying symp
toms, like stoppage of the nose and
throat trouble, are purely local, but 1
they are simply symptoms and the real
seat of disease is far removed.
Catarrh is a constitutional disease, a
blood disorder, • complicated usually
with disease of the liver and to sup
pose that local applications of sprays,
powders, inhalers, could ever reach the
real cause of the trouble is ridiculous.
The sensible and successful treat
ment is to remove the catarrhal pois
on from the system by regulating the
liver and purilying the blood, and this
can only be done by an internal reme
dy, which should consist of antisep
tics and retnedies to act vigorously on
the blood and liver.
The best preparation of this kind
which fills all the requirements of a
safe constitutional treatment is Stu
art’s Catarrh Tablets, composed of
Blood Root, Red Gum and similar
wholesome antiseptics, which are ab
solutely safe to take into the stomach
and which act upon the liver, stom
ach and mucous membrane.
Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges to be slowly
dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching
the mucous membrane and wind-pipe
and finally reaching the stomach.
Dr. Edmondson, in speaking of the
new treatment for catarrh, says: “I
have accomplished the most satisfac
tory results in all forms of catarrh of
the head, throat, bronchial tubes, as
well as catarrh of the stomach and
liver by using nothing else but Stu
art’s Catarrh Tablets. I long since
threw’ aside sprays and inhalers as be
ing inconvenient and at the best mere
temporary make-shifts.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets act imme
diately upon the liver and blood and
clear the whole system of catarrhal
poison. They are pleasant and very
convenient to use, and they are not
only the latest, but I believe them to
be the best and certainly the safest
treatment fer any form of catarrh."
All druggists Sell Stuart’s Catarrh
Tablets at 50 cents for full-sized pack
age.
