The indications for Georgia for to day *are for fair and cooler weather, ■with fresh to brisk north winds. East ern Florida fair weather and cooler in south portion, with fresh west to north winds. Mascagni, the Italian cotnpoSer, says America is not the land of liberty and of dollars, but of combinations with out the aid of which success is ex tremely difficult. And is not Mas cagni partly right? Some slate-makers in Boston have framed up a ticket of Harrison and Quincy for the Democratic party— Carter Harrison of Chicago and Jo siah Quincy of Boston. The names have a good ring about them, but more is wanted than that. The Supreme Court of Kansas lias decided that the various local boards of education have the right and power to enforce the separation of the races in schools. The case before the court grew out of the attempt of negroes to force their children into white schools in Topeka. A Norwegian scientist Claims to have invented an electric gun that will hurl a projective further and with greater accuracy than a gun of simi lar calibre employing powder or other explosive. The shot is hurled by a system of electro-magnets, and there is neither flame nor explosion. There seems to be a preponderance of the personal pronoun “I” in Post master General Payne’s statement relative to the investigation into the scandal In the Postoffice Department. It is ae though Mr. Payne were afraid that somebody else than himself would get the credit for having discovered the crookedness and moved to straighten It. And yet Mr. Payne was out of Washington and away on a Junket at the time the work of in vestigation was in progress. Now that President Roosevelt is In the tall timber and out of sight, Pat Crowe comes once more into vision. It will be recalled that he stole Mil lionaire Cudahy’s small son at Omaha more than a year ago and that the police have been hunting for him ever since. A day or two ago the police of St. Joseph, Mo., received a letter from Pat In which he informed them that he was residing in a suburb of that town, that he had been there for three months, and that as soon as the frost was out of the ground he proposed to sow a crop of pumpkins. Upon receipt of the letter the police hied them to the suburb mentioned. Mr. Crowe had flown, but they got evi dence to show that he had told the truth about having been there for three months. W, FINANCIAL SITUATION. It is reported that Mr. Shaw, the Secretary of the Treasury, is afraid there will be financial trouble of a more or less serious character before the end of this year. He is not talking alxmt the financial situation, but it is the understanding that he is trying to put the Treasury in such a shape that it Avould be able to assist in check ibg a panic if there should be one. The purpose of his offer to take up the 1908-18 three per cetit. bonds, and certain of the four per cent, bonds, and issue for them two per cent, bonds, is to put the banka in a better position to respond to calls upon them for money. To the ordinary observer there do not seem to be any signs of a panic. The crop prospect is very fine and all of the industries and the railways seem to have all of the business they can do. Still, there is a lack of con fidence in the continuance of the pres ent period of prosperity. That there is sudh a lack is apparent from the gradually falling prices of both rail road and industrial securities. On Monday there was a very mark ed decline in the prices of stocks and bonds. Even the very best bonds and stocks fell three to five cents on the dollar, and other securities suffered a decline of 10 and even 20 cents on the dollar. Just what the cause is of these fall ing prices is not apparent. It may be that more securities have been put on the market than the people Want more, In fact, than they have the mon ey to pay for, or It may be that there Is a belief that both stocks and bonds are held at prices that are too high. Whatever the cause, there seems to be a desire on the part of a great many of those who haVe beeh purchasing freely of both railway and industrial shares during the last two or three yearh to get rid of their holdings. No doubt the decision In the case of the government against the Northern Securities Company has had something to do with the fall in prices. There is no information to be had as to what the government’s position in regard to other trusts is, and therefore there Is a feeling of uncertainty as to the ac tual value of all kinds of securities which have the taint of a trust upon them. Indeed It is most difficult to determine exactly what securities are not trust securities But it is probable that the main cause of the feeling of apprehension is the fear that the market is over loaded with securities which are not desired by the public. The know- ledge that these securities are stowed away in strong boxes, waiting for a market has doubtless alarmed the holders not only of similar securities, but also of securities of the very best kind, and they are hastening to dispose of their holdings. It may be that it is this rush to sell that is causing uneasiness in financial circles in New York city. But whether it is or not the fact remains that there Is an uneasy feeling in financial circles, and that owing to the large Offerings prices of stocks and bonds have fallen considerably within a very short time. Secretary Shaw couldn’t do very much to stop a money panic if one should start, but there is no doubt that it is his purpose to be ready for any emergency that may arise. CAN’T RE ( OMPfel i-Ell TO COMPETE Judging from expressions that are finding their way into publications that are in sympathy With Wall stfCCt in fluences the leading stockholders of the Northern Securities Company, the stockholders who were instrumental in having that company formed, are saying that if the Supreme Court should affirm the decision of the Cir cuit Court of Appeals, and the North ern Securities Company should be dis solved, the Northern Pacific and the threat Northern railroads could not be compelled to compete. It is true of course that they Could not be compelled to compete, but there is no doubt they would compete with out any effort at compulsion. If there had been any way to prevent compe tition between them, disastrous compe tition, the Northern Securities Com pany wouldn’t have been formed. It is true the managements of the two companies could refuse to cut rates or give rebates or do any other thing that is a part of what is called ruinous competition, but it is doubtful if under the Northern Securities decision they would be permitted to enter into any agreement as to rates. They can find very little satisfaction In the thought that they cannot be compelled to compete. Just as soon as the company that controls them is out of the way they will compete. There will at once begin a scramble for business, and that means rebates, cut rates and other features of a rail road war. It is doubtful If the railroad problem will be solved until railroads are per mitted to pool their earnings and com missions are appointed to fix the rates. There are of course grave objections, to this solution of the problem, but there does not seem to be any better solution. The public wants rates that are stable and fair and it objects to rebates and other favors that are given to the big ship pers. It may be that now’ that the anti-trust law’ has been upheld Con gress will set to work to find some way to overcome the difficulties under which railroads labor. Dr. Wiley's corps of preserved food eaters in Washington, with whom he is making tests of chemicals as pre servatives of meats and other food products, are said to have recently taken on a most beautiful baby-pink complexion. At the beginning of the experiment, it is said, some of the young men had complexions more like one of the ‘‘s7 varieties” than anything else, but now they are all fair, pink and pretty of skin. What is the chemical that has worked this change? If Prof. Wiley will consent to sell It, he can get thousands of dollars for his secret. What a de mand there Would be for a breakfast food guaranteed to give Us users a .delicate pink complexion! SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. APRIL 15. 1005. A YOUNG MAN AT FIFTY-SIX. Not very long ago there was a great deal said in the newspapers to the ef fect that employers were seeking young men for responsible positions, in fact, for positions of any kind, and that a man over 45 stood but little chance of getting employment If he lost his place. There is no doubt of course that the preference is for young men, and although there are plenty of men beyond 45 who are just as capable, and In every respect as ef ficient, as when they were 25, the rule doilbtles is that a man Who has passed that age has passed his prime. We are led to make these remarks by the fact that the mafi who has been chosen from among a hundred or mote applicants to manage the elevated and sub-way railroads of Greater New York is 56 years old. He has been given a contract for five years at $20,- 000 a year. The task that he will have to per form is a very difficult one, and will test his ability to the utmost. There isn't much doubt, however, that lie will prove himself equal to the respon sibilities he has assumed. He is a Western man and made his reputation as a railroad man in Louisville, Ky., and St. Louis, Mo. In the latter city he handled the vast traffic that passes over the great bridge that crosses the river there. When the time came for selecting a man to handle the traffic on the new sub-way system in connection with that on the elevated roads in New York city, this man, Edward C. Bryan, was asked to take the place, notwith standing the fact that he was well on towards 60 years of age. The men at the head of the new sub-way system knew Mr. Bryan, and they believed he could fill the position better than any other man they could find. So all of the many applicants, many of them men of the greatest merit, were passed by in favor of this Western man who had not applied for the place. Mr. Bryan does not look like a man of 56. He has the appearance ot a man of 45. That is because he has al ways been careful of his health and has lived a quiet life, avoiding all ex cesses. The chances are that he will be able to fill the position to which he has been called for ten, and perhaps fifteen, years, and at the end of that time will still be a very valuable man to the company. ANOTHER MISSISSIPPI RIVER SCHEME. It is said that there is a movement on foot to have a model made, for ex hibit at the St. Louis exposition, of a dam and a reservoir for the control of the Mississippi river. It seems to be admitted that the levee plan has proven a failure, at least the levees were badly wrecked by the flood that is now passing off, and It will cost mil lions of dollars to put them back where they were prior to the present flood. Besides, the levees did not protect the adjacent lands from overflow this spring. Just how much money has been spent on the levee system of the Lower Mississippi, It is, of course, impossible to say, because there has been no record kept, but it is known that the government has spent more than $30,000,000 and It is safe to say that the states have spent a great deal more than that. The amounts spent by planters, and citi eetis of towns along the route of the river, are Unknown. It is a question whether the levee plan will be a success if persisted In. It seems as If the floods rise higher and higher as the hight of the levees are increased, and the levees are cer tain to be swept away sooner or later. They may hold for two or three years, but there is certain to come along a flood that will break and destroy them. It Is said that an Officer of the Engi neer Corps of the army has been sent to points above St. LOuis to inspect the country with the view of suggest ing the building of a dam and reser voir, such as has been built by Great Britain at Assouan for the control of the river Nile. According to this statement it Is thought that a dam and a reservoir could be constructed at a point about fifteen miles above St. Louis that would serve to control the river. The point that is being aimed at now Is to have a model made of the pro posed dam and reservoir for exhibit at the St. Louis exposition, the idea be ing to Interest the people In It and through them Congress. A dam that would cheek the Mississippi in flood times and turn back the waters into a reservoir would cost a mint of money. The dam at Assouan cost $10,000,600 and the reservoir is to cost about the same amount, but it would be a safe statement that a dam that would check the floods that come down the Mississippi Would cost ten times as much as the Nile dam cost, and as for a reservoir, It would cost about as much as the estimated cost of the Panama eahal. But there is no objection to a model. That would be Interesting. The condition of the hull of the Spanish flagship Reina Christina, Which has been raised from the bot tom of Manila Bay, where it had rest ed since that momentous May morn ing in IS9B when Admiral Dew’ey sail ed in and conquered, seems to indi cate that It was not the shots of the Americans that sent the vessel to her watery grave. A sea valve was miss ing, showing that the vessel was scut tled by her crew before they aban doned her. Nevertheless there were fifteen shell holes in the hull, show ing that the fire of Dewey’s ships was accurate and, as to the result, effective. Dewey’s object was to put the enemy’s vessels out of action. This he did with out exception. The precise manner in which they sank is merely an inconse quential detail. Truly there is no telling where Cu pid may be lurking and from what unexpected source he may make his appearance. At Derby, Conn., the other day a deputy sheriff went to serve a summons to court on a widow’. He was good looking and she was rich. They fell in love with each Other and are shortly to be married. Admiral Higginson reports that the lowa's big gun was not burst because of the explosion of a defective shell in the bore. Witnesses say they saw the shell fall near the target after the explosion. The report says a "full charge of smokeless powder” was used for the shot to be fired, and which wrecked the piece. There was noth ing to Indicate that the gun had reach ed the limit of its life. Was it the case that the smokeless powder proved treacherous, with such disastrous re sults? It is a fact that smokeless pow der lacks the full confidence of ex perts. They do not know just what it is going to do when they throw a detonating spark into it. Ordinarily it behaves very well and gives the re sults calculated upon, but at unex pected times it plays pranks, with more or less serious results. A novel society dinner is that to be served in the Tombs prison, New York city, to-day in honor of Miss Sargent, who is shortly to be married to Oscar Pouch, son of one of the founders of the Standard Oil Company. The dinner' will be in the private dining room of the warden, the wait ers will be “trusty” prisoners, and after the feast the guests will be shown through the prison. PERSONAL. —Rev. Charles M3.

"I’m the father of twenty-one children!”— Chicago Tribune. CURRENT COMMENT. The Charleston Post (Dem). says: “As soon as President Roosevelt learns how happily the country Is getting along without him we think he will come out of his fastness and get Into the gnme again. He couldn’t rest easy if he thought we could do without him.” The Washington Post (Ind.) says: "Some enterprising Alabama gentle men have struck an odor of what they believe to be oil. and are permitting their New York and other Eastern friends to subscribe to the stock of a company that have organized on ac count mf their keen scent. We can not ixmiplain of a lack of money as long as the promoters are able to capitalize a smell.” The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says: “Mr. Roosevelt applauds congress for affording the Filipinos some relief from the wretchedness W’rought by war and pestilence by making a cut of 25 per cent, in the Dingley rates on Imports from their islands. But never before our conquests of 1898 did Congress im pose Dingley rates or any other rates on articles Imported Into the United States from any territory of the United States." The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.) thus quotes and comments: “The negro Is not fit for self-government. It is in evitable that whenever he comes in contact w ith the white race he should be governed by it. The reasons why are beyond the control of either; they are part of the law of our be4ng and of his. His progress toward a higher nienta: ana moral standard can and should be aided, but it must necessar ily be slow-.—Providence (R. I.) Jour nal.’ This comes from New England: not from South Carolina. It is from an editor in a conservative section; not from Senator Tillman. It is not necessary to discuss the proposition as to its truth at great length; but it may be safety assumed that President Roosevelt and those who are associat ed with him in his Southern policy be lieve in It thoroughly in their hearts.” Funeral For Fun. Persons traversing Lamonte street. Manayunk, yesterday, witnessed a curi ous sight, says the Philadelphia Tele graph. Attention was first attracted by a long black ribbon floating from the doorbell of a house near the corner of an intersecting street. About a dozen or more children were walking up and down the pavement, some with black on their dresses and others with handkerchiefs to their eyes and ap parently weeping as though their hearts would break. The sight was such an unusual one that one df the girls was stopped and asked what was the mat ter. “Oh, we're just playing a funeral with Dollie,” said she, pointing to the step, and there in the entry lay the (foil, whose funeral services were .be ing held, in a black pasteboard box decorated with all the finery dear to the hearts of smali girls. ■ . “Bolis" Forgave the Colonel. Richard Harding Davis relates this Incident, which happened while he was acting as correspondent during the late war, savs Answers. A regiment of Scottish Highlanders, noted for their bravery in action, dur ing the heat of one battle were sud denly seen to break ranks and run in all directions. The officers as well shared in the stampede, and apparent ly made no attempts to urge the men under them into line. Their behavior was a surprise to everybody on the field, and aftpr the battle was over the colonel of the regiment was sum moned before Gen. Roberts. “What the goodness was the matter with your regiment?” asked “Bobs.” “Well,” replied the colonel, “there is not a man in the regiment afraid of a. Dutchman’s bullet, but we were steered into a field literally infested with wasps' nests, and you know, gen eral, we were all in kilts, and with bare legs.” Some lae For It. A Philadelphian, according to the Ledger, tells this story of his nephew” Five-year-old Robin shared my couch the other night. He was a prop er bed fellow, noiseless and kickless. When I awoke Robin was revealed flat oh his stomach, with elbows down, shin on his hands ar.d studying my very aquiline nose as intently as ever Darwin studied anew toad. He was manifestly wrestling with a problem. As soon as my eyes opened he broke out: "Uncle Will did you ever have an accident on your nose?” As Is my custom. 1 replied to him in the stately phrase of story book heroes: “No, Robin: I realize that my nose is not all that one could wish hs an ornament. But I was born that way, and it has always been a good nose to me. Hence, I am fairly sat isfied with it.” "Well,'' he sighed: rather hopeless ly, though trying to put the best face on a very had matter. "I suppose it is good enough to smell with.” Then I laughed. Wicked. But a Good Bet. The Parsons Herald notes that the Rev. J. E. Brant has been placed upon the superannuated list of Methodist preachers, says the Kansas City Jour nal. Years ago the Rev. Brant was pastor of a church in Parsons. He was a godly man, sedate and self-contented, but he could be aroused to much en thusiasm in a Presidential campaign. Like most Methodist ministers, he was a Republican. In 1888 he was an earn est supporter of Harrison against Cleveland. On the night of the election he foregathered with a crowd in a hall where the returns were being received. Sortie betting W’as being done, and he protested in his gentle way, but without avail. At last a party of Democrats came whooping in with some news which they conceived to be favorable to the election of Cleveland. They of fered a big bet, and George Radcliff, who was standing near the preacher, covered their money. "George,” said the parson, with great earnestness, "don’t you know that It is wicked to wager money?” Then, his enthusiasm getting the better of his godliness, he fetched his Republican friend a mighty whack on the back and shouted: You 11 win that bet, George, hands down!” Wit of a London Judge. Judge Bacon relieved a long and monotonous day’s proceedings at Bloomsburg County Court, London, the other day by a number of flashes of characteristic humor, says the Lon don Telegraph. "I am afraid I have been unbusiness like in this matter,’ ’said a lady. ‘Do not do yourself such an injustice,” re plied his honor, "no woman is unbus inesslike.’ ’ “I cannot listen in patience to such a story," exclaimed and excitable lady, who was being sued by a milkman. "And why not?” said the Judge wearily: “remember,'l will have to lis ten to you, too.” “Good advice,” said his honor with a sigh, “is at once the most valuable and the cheapest thing in existence. Everybody needs it, but most people 'would not give twopence fob a bar rowful.” .. . “What do you mean by the word ‘foundation’ which you are using so often?” inquired his honor of a gar rulous foreigner. “I mean he is telling you lie, your honor." “Ah,” said his honor, “you mean ‘fabrication.’ There is a gerat differ ence between the two things. Remem ber that a foundation is something solid, while a fabrication Is an airy structure which has ho foundation whatever.” Tile Finest of All. From the Los Angeles Herald. God made the streams gurgle down the purple mountainside; He made the gorgeous coloring with which the sunset's dyed; He made .the hills and covered them with glory; and He made The sparkle on the dewdrops and the flecks of light and shade.
