The Treasury Department has made
a rule that automobiles may be ad

chise law will prove a good thing for
Virginia in more ways than one. Be
sides clarifying the elections it will
create a demand for real estate; and

THE DECISION IN THE LOTTERY
CASE.
Judging from the comments in the
public prints it is not entirely clear
what the Supreme Court decided last
Monday in the lottery cases. In some
of them It is contended that it es
tablished a principle that amounts to
a deadly blow at trusts, and in others
that it was limited to lotteries.
It will be recalled that In his mem
orable address on the trust question
bicfore the Pittsburg Chamber of Com
merce, Attorney General Knox asked
this question, "Has Congress the power
to prohibit?” What he meant of course
was, has Congress general police power,
the power to declare that it is immoral,
inexpedient or illegal to transport this
or that article from one gtate to another,
and then under the power it has to reg
ulate interstate commerce to prohibit
the transportation of such article from
one state to another? The Attorney
General took the ground that it has
such power, and it looks very much
as if the Supreme Court, in the de
cision in the lottery cases, sustained
his view.
In the lottery cases the court held
that lottery tickets were articles of
commerce, and that Congress had the
right to exclude them from Interstate
commerce. Now the question which
presents itself is this: If Congress has
the power to prohibit the transporta
tion of lottery tickets from one state
to another why can it not prohibit the
transportation of an article manufac
tured by a trust that it has declared
to be illegal? It was in 1895 that Con
gress passed a law prohibiting the
transportation of lottery tickets from
one state to another, by express or
otherwise. It would seem to be an
easy matter to reach trusts under this
decision. All that it would be neces
sary to do to reach a trust would be
for Congress to prohibit the transpor
tation of the articles manufactured by
it from one state to another. Judging
from the decision in the lottery cases
the Supreme Court would hold such
prohibition to be constitutional.
It is true that in about every state
lotteries had been declared to be im
moral before Congress denied them
transportation, but In denying them
transportation Congress seems to have
exercised general police power.
The point is made of course by those
who contend that the decision in the
lottery cases goes no further than lot
teries. that the court expressly stated
that its decision had no reference to
questions that might come before It In
the future, but is not the conclusion
that If Congress, in the exercise of its
power to regulate interstate commerce,
should prohibit the transportation of the
articles of any one or more of the great
trusts. Its action would be sustained
by the Supreme Court a fair one? It
is a conclusion that is sustained by
the decision in the lottery case. If
therefore the Littlefield bill, which
prohibits the transportation of trust ar
ticles, and which has been passed by
the House and Is now pending In the
Senate, should become a law it would,
it is safe to say, be held to be consti
tutional by the Supreme Court. It Is
not a matter of wonder therefore that
the Senate will not pass it and that the
administration in not urging its pas
sage.
TILLMAN PRAISED.
Senator Tillman, received a letter
from Bishop Turner of the African
Methodist Church, during the delivery
of his speech on the race question In
the Senate this week, in which he was
praised very highly for his attitude
on that question. As is well known
Bishop Turner believes there is only
one way to settle the race question,
and that is for the negroes to migrate
to the land of their ancestors. He has
been urging emigration to Africa for
many years, but he has never been
able yet to satisfy anybody either that
it is practicable or that the negroes
are willing to emigrate.
And if it were practicable, and the
negroes should all find homes in Af
rica, what would be their future?
What has been the resait of negro self
government in Hayti? Has not the
negro- gone backward there? He cer
tainly has. The great majority of the
Hayti negroes are but little removed
from the negroes of the interior of
Africa, and Hayti is becoming a wil
derness.
Bishop Turner thinks the course Sen
ator Tillman Is pursuing will have the
effect of creating such a strong senti
ment against negroes that they will be
forced to leave this country. He does
not give the Senator credit, however,
for desiring to settle the race question
in that way. Indeed, he does not give
him credit for desiring to do anything
that would be helpful to the negro.
He simply looks upon him as an in
strument of Providence, selected to as
sist in furthering the Bishop's emigra
tion scheme.
In the course of tils letter the Bishop
says: "Others pf my race denounce
you in mass meetings and from the
lecture platform, but I shall praise
you and wish you Godspeed, for I be
lieve you are serving a purpose of
Providence that but few are aware of
and even you do not realize." Provi
dence works in mysterious ways, and
it may be, as Bjshop Turner says, that
Senator Tillman is an instrument of
Providence In settling the race ques
tion, but the probability is that the
Senator would abandon his job if he
thought he was not doing it all him
self.
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts has
been a member of Congress for twen
ty years, as representative and sena
tor, "the whole time getting a little
poorer, year by year,” he says. All
of the income-bearing property he
has in the world, he told a friend re
cently. yields a little less than SI,BOO
a year; and a part of thi* property
is an inheritance. The chief carnal
luxury of the Senator's life, he de
clared, “Is In breakfasting every Sun
day morning with an orthodox friend,
a lady who has the rare gift of mak
ing fishbulls and coffee. You unfortu
nate and benighted Pennsylvanians,”
he continues, "can never kiwvw the ex

SAVANNAH MORXIXG NEWS: FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 27. 1903.
A QUESTION FOR TIME TO SETTLE.
Those who have been booming Judge
Parker of New York for the presiden
tial nomination of the Democratic
party were given a set back on Tues
day by Mr. Frank Campbell, chairman
of the Democratic State Committee of
New Y’ork. In an interview given out
in Buffalo, Mr. Campbell said that if
ex-Senator Hill were a candidate
Judge Parker would not be.
It had been quite generally thought
that as Mr. Hill made a failure in the
management of the campaign in New
York last fall he was no longer regard
ed as a presidential possibility, and
that he had practically decided to
abandon his presidential ambition. Ac
cording to what Mr. Campbell says,
however, he still thinks he has a
chance.
It is true that Judge Parker has not
stated that he is a candidate. In
deed. he has made no statement that
justifies an inference that he is am
bitious to lead his party in the next
presidential contest, but there is no
doubt that there Is a very strong sen
timent among Democrats In all parts
of the country in favor of nominating
him. It is believed by many of the
ablest men in the party that he Is the
strongest man that could be nomi
nated. Of course Mr. Hill has a great
many friends, but there does not
seem to be a noticeable movement in
his behalf in any part of the country.
In the South, some months ago, there
was an attempt to start a Hiil boom,
but it was not noticeably successful.
Mr. Bryan would be against the
nomination of Mr. Hill, and it 13 a
question whether he would give him a
hearty support if he were to be nom
inated. It is true of course that Mr.
Bryan is not the intluential leader he
once was, but he is still very pop
ular with the people in the rural dis
tricts. It is practically certain that
the two factions of the party could
not be united under the leadership of
Mr. Hill, and it is also certain that
the Democratic party wouldn’t have
much chance for success unless its
factions were united.
When the situation becomes fully
understood it is doubtful if Mr. Hill
will seek the nomination. He is very
friendly with Judge Parker. and
doubtless would like to see him nom
inated, provided he cannot get the
nomination himself. .
Probably it was to Mr. Hill that
Mr. Bryan had reference when he said,
in an interview in New York City
the other day, that he thought the
leaders of the New York Democracy
were only putting forward Judge Par
ker at this time in order to keep in
the background for a little while lon
ger the man they really intended to
support for the nomination. What lie
said on that occasion made it very
clear thut he was not likely to regard
the candidacy of Mr. Hill with favor.
A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A Chamber of Commerce in this city
is now assured. The meeting at the
City Exchange last night for the pur
pose of passing upon the report of
the committee appointed to present a
plan for the institution was an en
tirely satisfactory one both as regards
numbers and enthusiasm. The plan
proposed by the committee was adopt
ed, and a large number of members
was secured from among those pres
ent. In fact, pretty nearly all pres
ent became members.
The especially gratifying feature #f
the meeting was the interest and en
thusiasm shown in the movement to
build up the city by encouraging trade
and the establishment of new enter
prises. It looks as if those interested
In the city had got together, and that
in future they would be found work
ing in harmony with each other for
the accomplishment of every object
that promised to increase the city’s
wealth, population and business.
In a Chicago church the other day
the preacher, by way of illustrating
the folly of false pride, held up a dol
lar, saying: “I am going to give it to
any one of you who can bury your
pride long enough to admit that you
need the money.” For a moment there
was a pause. Nobody stirred. The
preacher thought he had made his
point in a striking manner, and re
sumed; "See, I told you so. Not one of
you will sell your worthless pride for
a good American dollar." At this
Juncture a shabby little old woman,
with age-wrinkled face, went slowly
down the aisle, took the dollar and re
treated. As she reached out for the
coin she said to the preacher in a low
voice, "I need the money; I am too
poor to have any pride.” "Take it,
and God bless you,” stammered the
preacher. There must have been tears
in his voice, and the hearts of those
who witnessed the scene must have
been touched. But, as a matter of
fact, the old woman did not sell all of
her pride for sl. She later declined to
give her name, though admitting her
poverty, showing that the pride of
name was still with There can
be no doubt that pride is the cause of
a great deal of suffering that might
be relieved if its existence were made
known; but, is it really desirable to
have pride eradicated? In its good
sense, pride means an abhorrence of
what is beneath or unworthy of one;
lofty self-respect; elevation of charac
ter; dignified bearing. There are other
and less worthy meanings of the
word, but the poor are seldom
proud except in the meanings of the
word given. With a high order of
self-respect taken from the poor, what
would remain?
A resolution introduced into the

The Archduke Leopold Ferdinand of
Saxony, who eloped with an actress at
the same time his sister, the former
Crown Princess ran away with the
French professor of language, has in
formed his parents that he will Join
the navy of the United States "as an
officer,” and cast to the winds his for
mer privileged position. The Arch
duke probably knows very Httle about
the American navy and the means by
which It may be entered "as an of
ficer.” He has never had naval train
ing, but if he were ever so well trained
he would find admission to an Ameri
can quarter deck a matter of extreme
difficulty if not indeed an impossibil
ity. A special act of Congress would
have to be passed for his benefit.
Whether that could be accomplished
can be guessed. However, the Arch
duke might come over here, take out
naturalization papers and enlist as a
seaman; then after several years of
hard and conscientious work he might
rise to be a boatswain’s mate, or gun
ner's mate, or to some other warrant
position. If he is looking for a naval
career, he had better steer clear of the
United Sfates. Possibly he could find
what he Is looking for in Central or
South America.
A number of preachers in Maine are
urging from their puipits that the
state follow the example of New
Hampshire and adopt local option for
the control of the liquor traffic. One
of these preachers In a sermon at
Bangor the other day made some_com
parisons between that city and Brock
ton, Mass. Bangor, with 25,000 pop
ulation and after twenty years of pro
hibition, had 1,044 arrests for drun
kenness last year. Brockton, with 40,-
000 population and after eleven years
of high license under local option, had
435 arrests for drunkenness during the
same time. This, of course, does
prove everything, since different po
lice forces and different courts have
different ideas respecting what con
stitutes drunkenness; nevertheless the
disparity of the figures is so great as
to be worthy of attention.
What is claimed by its pastor to be
the most up-to-date church in the world
is being constructed in New York on
One Hundred and Forty-third street.
In the basement will be a gymnasium,
where several times a week the mem
bers of the church will receive instruc
tions. A large kitchen is to be instal
led for church suppers, and the Sun
day-school room may be thrown into
a large banquet hall. At the head of
the main aisle is a large reception room,
into which brides will pass on entering
the church and in which they will have
a chance to see if their things are ”on
straight” before proceeding to the
chancel.

This is said to be his one vanity. He

tI'RREMT COM MEAT.
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem.)
says: "The ship subsidy bill is again
dead. But just as long as there is a
Republican Congress this measure will
present itself at every session, in the
same manner as Herrmann the Great
will never become extinct so long as
there is a theater.”
The Manchester (N. H.) Guardian
(Rep.) gives the following as the fun
damental principles of the local option
law to be passed by the New Hamp
shire Legislature; “Absolute local op
tion for the cities and towns in deciding
whether liquor shall be sold within
their limits or not; a high license fee,
to render the business unprofitable for
any considerable number to engage in;
licenses unlimited as to number, to do
away with the temptation or oppor
tunity for corruption; and local con
trol by a bdard of commission com
posed of men who can be held ac
countable to the voters of the com
munity.”
• The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: "President Roosevelt and those
Republicans who are so eager to pro
vide negro postmasters and custom
house collectors for the white people
of the South are assured by Senator
Tillman that he is quite ready to join
them when they shall make negroes of
ficers of the army and havy. So far
as the navy of the United States is
concerned, Senator Tillman will ob
serve, no white seaman can become a
commissioned officer in its service, no
matter how efficient and deserving, if
he does not belong to a particular
caste. Prejudice of caste is not merely
confined to color in this Democratic
government.”
The New York Evening Post (Ind.)
says: "Gen. Grosvenor's latest at
tempt to serve the shipping trust has
brought hint and it only fresh disap
pointment. His own committee would
have none of him, or of his unblushing
scheme to help the shipping trust pay
for the English ships which it bought
at three times their value. Subsidies
have always a suspicious, air, but w'hen
it comes to voting doles to a gigantic
combination of which foreign govern
ments stand In awe. we touch the
very sublimity of shameless greed.
That this audsclty was too much for
some of Groavenior’a Republican asso
ciates is matter of congratulation.
They have killed the bill, not only for
this session, but, as we believe, for
all time. The shipping trust will have
inset ms Me ow n bottom.'
A Little Story About Hewitt.
A trait in the charcter of Abram S.
Hewitt, which was his in common with
many another of the great men of the
country’s history, was his painstaking
regard for little things as well as big,
says the Boston Post. There is a man
over in New York who knows this.
He had occasion to visit Mr. Hewitt
a number of times, and each time sent
in his card. One day when he had
similarly announced himself. Mr.
Hewitt came down stairs holding a lit
tle package tied neatly with a rubber
band.
"Here are the cards you’ve sent in
to me during the last month or so,"
said he. “They’re of no use to me, but
I thought you might be able to put
them to work again, and so I gathered
thefh up.”
Corblu’it Son Waives Relationship.
Gen. Corbin’s son is a newspaper re
porter in Washington, says the Balti
more Herald. The other day he was
sent to fhe adjutant general's office
and found the door closed against all
comers. He pulled from his pocket a
card with his name and the paper he
represented on it, and asked the mes
senger to carry it In. A moment later
the messenger returned with the infor
mation:
“Gen. Corbin says he hasn’t time to
talk to reporters just now, but if his
son Rutherford is outside he will be
glad to see him.”
“I’m not his son Rutherford on this
occasion, so I’ll just lay for him here
as he comes out,” replied the young
ster, determined not to sacrifice the
chance for a “story” to a personal in
terview with “the governor.”
A Wise Dog's Trick.
On guard in a beautiful park at
Vichy is a watchman, whose special
duty is to prevent dogs from running
over the beds and destroying the cost
ly flowers, says the Columbus Dis
patch. He is armed with a large club,
which he hurls at any dog he sees,
and generally with such skill that the
animal goes off limping and howling.
The other day a young dog, of no
particular breed, but as bold as a Hon,
determined to punish the watchman
for his misdeeds, and as a first step
he went boldly into the park and
squatted on a beautiful flower bed
right under the nose of the watchman.
In the twinkling of an eye the club
was raised, and down it came, but,
instead of hitting the dog, it smashed
a rose tree laden with .blossoms, and,
worse still, no sooner was it on the
ground' than the dog gripped it with
his teeth and ran off with it at a gal
lop. After him the watchman dashed,
but only for a few yards, since he is
somewhat corpulent and not used to
such violent exercise.
He procured anew club the next
day, but he does not throw it unless
he is absolutely sure of his aim, and,
as the dogs take good care not to get
too near him, something like peace
reigns once more in the beautiful park.
Prayers by Telephone.
At a small dinner in Philadelphia re
cently the guest of .honor was a young
married woman, formerly a resident of
“the West,” says an exchange. She Is
the proud mother of two fine boys,
both under four years of age. In their
education she endeavors to follow a
system, like many, other young mothers,
and she is very careful to live up to
any rule she may have formulated for
them. During an early course in the
dinner, and In the middle of an animat
ed conversation with her host, she sud
denly ceased talking. Her face took
a* a most startled expression. Then,
finding her voice, she exclaimed;
“Mercy, I have forgotten those boys
again! May I use your telephone?”
She was taken to the ’phone by the
host, and the murmur of her voice in
most earnest conversation was wafted
back to the dining room. After a short
time she returned.
”1 beg a thousand pardons,” she sa!d,
“but you must know I have always in
sisted that Sam and Dick says their
prayers for me before they go to sleep.
In the hurry of getting off to-night I
entirely forgot my usual duty. So I
called up the nurse. She brought them
to the ’phone and they said their pray
ers over the wire. I feel quite re
lieved.”
Patriotic All Tliroagli.
"Right over there,” said the old set
tler, according to the Chicago Tribune,
pointing with his cane, “is the place
where Gineral Washin'ton licked the
British Gineral Braddock in the Rev
olutionary War.”
"Surely you mistake," objected one of
the tourists. “If I have read history
correctly Gen. Braddock was defeated.
It happened before the Revolutionary
War. Washington was in that battle,
but he was not a general, and he was
defeated along with Braddock by a
force of French and Indians—mostly
Indians.”
"Do you mean to tell me,” demanded
the old settler, “that Gineral George
Washin'ton fit on the British side and
got licked here?”
“Yes, only he was Col. Washington,
and he fought well and bravely. The
colonies had not rebelled against the
mother country then, and the trouble
was between England and France."
The old settler took him to one side.
“Isn’t that chap over there with the
side whiskers an Englishman?” he
asked.
"No; he's a New York banker.”
“Any Englishman in your crowd?”
“No.”
"Well, that makes a difference,” re
plied the old settler. "Of course I
knowed George Washin'ton got licked,
but I wasn’t goin’ to admit it before
no Britisher.”

I’ve scalded Yny feet; in Iced sheets
I have rolled;
The lemons I’ve eaten have given me
colic.
I tell you It’s tough when a man has
a cold.
My ears with the quinine I’ve taken
are ringing,
I’m smelling of liniments rubbed on
my chest;
Yet other new cures they’re persist
ently bringing,
Until I Just ache for a moment of
rest.
I’m blistered and burned and I’m sog
gy with soaking,
I’ve swallowed more drugs than mere
mortal can hold.
It Isn’t a matter for laughing or Jok
ing—
They’re tough on a man, axe these
sure* for a cold.
