Senator Quay and a man who is dead
have been elected delegates from
Quay’s county to the State Republi

really makes no material difference in
so far as the work of the convention
is concerned, since Quay is the whole
thing anyway.
Some of our esteemed contemporaries,
the Mobile Register and the New Or
leans Item, for instance, are disposed
to refer to Savannah as an example
of how asphalt streets get out of re

observers, and of the difficulty of get

Sir Thomas Upton is quoted as say
ing that he has spent considerably
more than $2,000,000 in his several ef
forts to capture the America’s cup.
His present venture he estimates will
cost him not less than $1,000,000, which
means as much as the other two com
bined. Should he fail this time, he
says he still has "a little more money"
that he is willing to spend to get the
coveted prize. He is said to favor
seagoing schooners for future cup
races. It was such a schooner that
brought the cup to this country.
Of the 613 new graduates of Yale, 137

no other specialty, however, will so
many as 100 graduates be engaged. It
Is probable that the other institutions
of higher education turn out relatively
as great a number of lawyers. Are so
many lawyers needed? In the Yale list
of the year there does not appear one
solitary “agriculturalist" or farmer.
Wouldn't it be better for the country if
more college boys followed farming and
fewer took up the law?

THE CONVICT QUESTION.
It is well understood of course that
one of the most important questions
which the Legislature will have to set
tle at this session is that of the dis
position to be made of the state con
victs. The present convict system is
not satisfactory to a very considerable
percentage of the people, and it is
probable that an effort will be made to
abandon it. Since there has grown up
such a strong sentiment in favor of
good roads there seems to be a pretty
widely entertained opinion that the
benefit the state would receive in the
long run from working the convicts on
the roads would be greater than in
leasing them.
The chief objection to using them in
road-making is the state’s financial
needs. The state's revenue is now
hardly equal to the demands upon it,
and it is practically certain that the
amendment to the constitution limiting
the tax rate to five mills for all pur
poses will be passed by the Legisla
ture and approved by the people.
Where would the money come from
with which to maintain the convicts if
employed by the state on the roads?
It is estimated that if the present
system is continued for another term
of five years the state will be able to
get for the hire of the convicts from
75 to per cent, more for their labor
than it is now getting, adding to the
income of the state 2350,000 to $400,000 a
year. If the convicts were to be put
at work on the highways the state
would not only get no income from
them, but would be at a very large
expense for their support. The ques
tion which then presents itself is this:
If the tax rate is limited to 5 mills can
the state afford to use the convicts in
improving the public roads?
We have not heard the arguments on
this point of those who are urging a
change in the system. If they can
point out how the state is to meet its
obligations if the income from the hire
of the convicts is given up and the
burden of supporting them is added to
its other obligations they will remove
the main objection to the adoption of
their views.
At the last session the Senate passed
a bill authorizing the leasing of the
convicts for another term of five years.
It is probable therefore that the chief
objectors to the present system are
members of the House. If they can
remove the financial difficulties in the
way of the adoption of the road build
ing system there may a chance for the
adoption of that system.
THE “LAWSON’S” FAILURE.
About a year ago the schooner
Thomas W. Lawson was put into com
mission, with a great flourish of trump
ets. She was a world-beater—39s feet
lung, 60 feet wide, 34 feet deep, draught
loaded 26 % feet, displacement 10,000
tons, seven masts, steel hull, 43,000
feet spread of canvas, and cost $250,-
000. Nothing like her was ever seen
before. It was believed s'hq w-ould rev
olutionize the coastwise carrying trade;
that her great carrying capacity would
enable her to transport freights at a
low rate and thus she rvould never
want for cargoes. A few days ago the
announcement was made that the Law
son would be dismantled and turned
into a barge, to be towed at sea from
port to port, and that her cargoes would
be coal. Thus passes the glory of the
greatest schooner ever launched, and
with it the prospect of similar vessels
for the coastwise trade.
The owners who invested a quarter
of a million dollars in a sailing vessel
would never have gone to the length
of dismantling her after a bare twelve
months’ experience except for the very
best reasons. One year was enough
to convince them that the Law-son
was too big, deep and unwieldy. Her
great draught limited her trade to a
few- ports. At those ports it was not
possible to secure cargoes regularly and
quickly; and waits by so costly a craft
as the Law-son were expensive. At sea,
too, so large a vessel in schooner rig
was found to be unhandy. It is said
that even in favorable weather it re
quired about an hour to bring her
about from one tack to the other, while
in adverse winds more time was neces
sary. It is said, further, that there
was practically no demand for coast
wise vessels of the carrying capacity
of the Lawson.
It is probable, in view of these facts,
that there will be no more sailing ves
sels of such size as the Lawson built,
at least for a number of years. There
must be more deep harbors and a
greater demand for large freight room
on single voyages before they will
he needed. Meanwhile steam vessels
for coastwise trade are Increasing In
size and capacity. The ships of the
Savannah line to-day are as large as
were the transatlantic liners of a few
years ago, and they are operated prof
itably.
Judge Alton R. Parker of New York
comes to Georgia this week to deliver
an address before the Georgia Bar As
sociation at Tallulah Falls, His visit
is regarded with interest in all parts of
the country, since he is a presidential
possibility and the impression has gone
abroad that he will say something hav
ing political significance in the course
of his speech. It is quite probable that
this expectation will be disappointed,
since Judge Parker is to address a
body of lawyers as a lawyer and not
as a candidate for political prefer
ment. Meanwhile, the distinguished
New Yorker will be accorded a cordial
welcome in a hospitable Georgia town
that Is surrounded with scenic beuuty
unsurpassed In the world.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. JUNE 30, 190.3.
THE SEC I RITIES OF THE STEEL
TRYST.
Stock brokers in New York are hav
ing very little to do. Nobody seems to
be anxious to sfieculate. There has
been such a remarkable fall In the
prices of nearly all securities that there
is timidity in buying. Besides, there
seems to be a quite general desire to
see what the crops promise. With the
exception of the wheat crop little can
be said about the crop outlook that is
definite.
The dullness in the stock market is
not causing uneasiness, however. It
is rather welcomed by conservative
brokers and financiers. It removes
the strain from the banks and affords
them an opportunity to get rid of some
of the undigested securities which they
are carrying.
It is thought to be strange that the
securities of the United States Steel
Corporation are so weak. Last week
the bonds, which pay 5 per cent., sold
for less than 83 cents on the dollar,
the first preferred stock, which pays 7
per cent., for less than 80 cents, and
the common stock, which pays 4 per
cent., for less than 30 cents.
If this great corporation were not
in a prosperous condition these prices
would cause no comment, but, as a
matter of fact, its last report showed
that after it had paid all of its fixed
charges and the dividend on the com
mon strock, it had a surplus of $35,000,-
000. That surplus was earned in one
year. Its net earnings would have to
fall off $90,000,000 a year before there
would be a default In the Interest on
the bonds.
Clearly the investing public has but
little confidence in the big corporation.
It Is believed there is too much water
in its stock and bond.4 —that the va
rious plants which are in the combina
tion are not worth what they are cap
italized at, and that if hard times
should come the earnings would fall off
to such an extent that the corporation
might be wrecked.
And, perhaps, there is another thing
they are afraid of, and that is that
the people in the near future will in
sist upon a very substantial reduction
in the steel and iron schedules of the
tariff. A reduction in these schedules
would force a reduction in the prices
of steel and iron products.
Avery small reduction would Inter
fere very materially with the earnings
of all iron and steel plants, though a
pretty large reduction would be neces
sary to wipe out the United States
Steei Corporation's surplus. A ‘period
of hard times, such as the country ex
perienced in 1893, would hurt that cor
poration, and all other iron and steel
plants, more than a reduction in the
?teel schedules of the tariff. Inves
tors are probably a little anxious as
to the effect hard times would have
upon iron and steel manufacturing, and
they prefer to wait and see how the
billion dollar steel trust would stand
a period of business depression before
putting money in Us securities. But,
whatever the reason, its securities do
not seem to be favorites with inves
tors.
THE COTTON CORNER.
The success of William P. Brown in
cornering July cotton has given rise
to a variety of rumors, one of which
is that Brown and those associated
with him in his cotton speculation have
organized a gigantic trust which will
control absolutely the cotton trade of
this country, and hence of the world.
According to this sensational report,
which tfad its origin in New Orleans,
those associated with Mr. Brown in
clude some of the wealthiest men in
New York, London, Liverpool and Ant
werp. It is also said that in the com
bination are many prominent business
men and cotton planters of the South,
the planters agreeing not to sell a bale
of cotton for less than a price agreed
upon by the combination.
It is doubtful if there is any founda
tion for this story. It is a fact, of
course, that Mr. Brown and his asso
ciates have shown that they have com
mand of a very large amount of money.
On last Friday 95,000 bales of cotton
were tendered to them on their July
deal which they took, paid for and
they were ready to take any
amount offered. No doubt many thou
sands of bales were delivered to them
yesterday and many thousands more
will be delivered to them to-day. They
will take the cotton and pay cash for it,
showing that they are well prepared for
carrying through their deal to the end.
Settlement, of course, will have to
be irtade to-day, and Mr. Brown and
his associates will doubtless be able
to dictate the terms of it. The amount
of their profits is not known to the
public and will not be known definite
ly to them until the deal is closed.
One estimate places it as high as #lO,-
000,000. It seems that Mr. Brown and
his friends have been buying July op
tions ever since last August, and that
their holdings are enormous. Much of
the cotton they hold cost them
less than 8 cents a pound. On Satur
day July cotton sold as high as 14
cents. It is evident, therefore, that
Mr. Brown and his associates could
settle with the shorts at 10 cents a
pound and still make an immense sum.
That they have made a wonderfully
successful deal in cotton futures is
certain, but It is pretty rfafe to ray
that there is no truth in the report
that they are in a great combination
to control the cotton output of this
country. That would be a too big an
undertaking.
"The Influx of dangerous negro crim
inals” Into the state of Delaware “Is
due to political crime,” says the Phil
adelphia Ledger, which goes on to ar
gue that Addlcks Is responsible for the
low ebb of political morality In that
stute. We felt sure that after a while
Addbks would be- held responsible for
the burning alive of the White negro,
und now tt has come. It seems to be
the fushinn to tiuce all of the ||U of
Delaware buck to Addlcks.

It is rather surprising that no “yel
low” playwright has yet dramatized
the recent tragedy of Belgrade. It con
tains all of the elements of a 10, 20, 30
thriller—the fascinating widow, the
susceptible young King, the midnight
rush upon the palace, the hurried light
ing of candles in the dark, the leaping
from stairs to stairs, the shrieks of
royal ladies and the curses of noble
gentlemen, the come and go of soldiers
and guards of the royal apartments,
and at the climax the splendid duel of
Alexander with the traducers of his
wife. All told, the plot is one that
should appeal to the “popular priced”
aggregations. It is a plot ready-made
and wanting only in a little papier
mache and red-light embellishment.
The next theatrical season ought, real
ly, to see the production of “The Doom
of Draga, or the Last of the Obreno
vitches,” on the stage, with such emi
nent stars as, say, “Young Corbett”
and Florence Burns in the leading
parts.
Immigration Commissioner Williams
is right when he says th'at “aliens
have no inherent right to come to the
United States,” hence if they do come
It must be under the terms fixed by
the people of the United States, whose
right it is to stop any or all immi
gration. Nobody wants to stop all
immigration; we want good people,
millions of them. But we do not want
emptied into the country vast hordes
of such aliens as will threaten the na
tional character. Ignodance, pauperism,
vice and criminality ought to be shut
out.
A Kansas court has decided that to
call a man a “Kansas jackass” is slan
derous, and that the nVan to whom the
epithet is applied may recover dam
ages by process of law. An appeal has
been taken and the matter will go to
the Supreme Court. We have no doubt
that the lower court will be sustained.
It is bad enough to be called a jack
ass, but 'Kansas jackass” Is simply
outrageous.

of the Boxers,” records his surprise at
meeting In a Chinese city a pigtailed
individual who addressed him in fluent
English with a Yankee twang. “ ‘Do
you live in Samchun?’ I asked him, in
surprise. ‘Not much, you bet!’ he re
plied: ‘I don’t belong to this darned
country any more. I live in 'Frisco.' ”

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem.)
says: "What they call the Socialist
party in Germany does not at all cor
respond to the American idea of Social
ism. These German Socialists are so
called from a monarchical point of
view. They are opposed to the Em
peror, who regards them as his per
sonal enemies and remarked, before
the recent election, that anybody who
voted for a Socialist candidate would
have him to reckon with! The enor
mous gains made by the Socialists in
that election ought to help the Kaiser
to realize that he had better put oft
the time of reckoning as long as he
can.”
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
(Ind.) says; “T. Thomas Fortune re
turns from the Philippines convinced
that the islands are just the place for
the negroes but no place at all for
white men. Senator Morgan of Ala
bama ought to be pleased by such a
report from the President s’special la
bor commissioner. For Mr. ivlorgah
says he favdred the acquisition of the
islands In order that the negroes of
Ihe United States might be sent there
as settlers. Gen. George W. Davis,
however, has written a strong report
on the Impracticability of a negro he
gira to the archipelago. The scheme
Is on a par with the African emigration
idea of Bishop Turner."
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says; "July 1 being at hand, the cot
ton corner has now reached the sum
mit, and the interesting problem con
fronts the gentlemen who arc running
It how lhey are to get down the other
side without being crushed under the

Reminded Him of Home.
It was one of those early-morning
cars, says the New York Press, with
al! of the passengers in a hurry and
the conductor nervous. They were
making good time until they struck a
downtown street with a wagon loaded
with hay on the tracks. The motor
man approached it cautiously, until
his fender almost touched the rural
team. Then silently he allowed his
car to creep along behind the hay
wagon. The passengers began to get
nervous during the first block; the sec
ond block found them mad, and the
third block had them kicking. Still the
motorman crept along, not so much as
ringing his bell. Finally the conductor
went to the front platform and ex
claimed:
"Say. why don't you ring your bell
and get that hay wagon out of the
way?”
“I just can't do it,” answered the
motorman; "it reminds me so of
home.”
Picture Frame Sprouted.
The dryness of the present summer
was the subject under discussion, says
the Philadelphia Record. The talk, in
a little while, veered naturally to the
dampness of some of the summers of
the past, A clergyman then told an
appropriate story.
"The dampest summer I remember
was in the year 18—, but I am no good
at dates," he said. “At any rate,
there happened in my house during
that summer an almost incredible
thing.
"I had bought in the spring a frame
of oak, decorated at the corners with
acorns. I had put in this frame my
wife’s picture. Well, we went away to
Chester Heights for the season, all
of us, and the house was closed from
June till September. That was a very
damp summer. Violins and cameras
fell apart. Furniture came unglued.
Your clothes would mildew while you
slept—one morning I even found a
little mildew on my whiskers.
“In September, on returning home, I
discovered nothing but mold and un
glued furniture, and in the library I
discovered a little oak tree growing
from each corner of the frame of my
wife’s picture. The exhilarating ef
feot of the dampness on the frame's
four acorns, together with the rich soil
that a thick coating of dust supplied,
had caused the acorns to sprout.
There, on the frame, were four little
trees, each several inches high. It
was a pretty and an unusual sight.”
Husbands of Parnonn Wired.
The unknown man walked down the
aisle of the smoking car and stopped
where another unknown man sat read
ing voraciously, says the Princeton
Tiger. •
•'May I sit by you?” he asked meek
ly.
“Certainly,” replied the occupant,
without looking up. "May as well be
sociable. Rice is my name.”
“And Freeman is mine. May I ask
what you are reading?”
“Certainly.”
"Well, what are you reading?”
“ 'Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage
Patch.’ "
“Pure trash, I have my wife's word
for it.”
“Who's your wife?” inquired the
original occupant, beginning to betray
signs of interest.
“My wife is Mrs. Freeman,” with
some signs of pique.
“Never heard of her. Literary shark,
is she? My wife's strong for Mrs.
Wiggs. You see-er, why, she wrote
it."
"My dear sir,” shouted the quondam
critic, "there seems to be a fatal mis
understanding somewhere. Let me in
troduce myself again as Mr. Mary E.
Wilkins Freeman.”
"And I,” grinned the man with the
book, "am Mr. Alice Caldwell Hegan
Rice, of course. Why didn’t we do this
before? Happy to know you.”
The Tate of Butterby’s Kid.
From the New York Times.
Old man Butterby hated Bob,
And Bob, he equally hated him,
Arid as each was onto his shooting job,
It seemed that someone's show was
slim.
For from Butterby’s ranch to Bob's
home place
Was a mile or so, and that was all;
So the boys all said, as they viewed
they case:
“I reckon the coroner’ll git a call.”
Well, Bob and Butterby met one day—
'Twas a thing, of course, they were
bound to an—
and each of them put a tree in his
way,
And then, you bet, the bullets flew.
Bob s arm stuck out, and he got a
ball
Right where its passage was bound
to hurt.
And old man Butterby h*ad a call
From a bullet that injured the side of
his shirt.
But they stuck to their trees as if
they were glued.
And they hurled some names that are
not in the books.
“Come out!” said Bob, and his tone
was rude.
"You dassent,' said Butterby; “dern
your looks!”
And the air was full of bullets and
flings.
And adjectives dire of a red-hot
brand.
And they knew that Death on nis mis
ty wings
Was waiting about to take a hand.
"Come out,” cried Bob, "you cowardly
cur!”
For his shoulder burned and his
thoughts were hot—
A laugh rang out where the bushes
were, *
And into the open there strayed a
tot.
A wee little tot with curly hair.
And eyes with dreams in their blue
depths hid,
The fairest thing on the mountain
there,
And her laughter was sweet—it was
Butterby's kid.
Her eyes met Bob’s, arid she laughed
again
As she toddled straight to the tree
where he stood.
“I’ve lost my dolly,” she said, “but,
zen,
I dess 'at oo’ll find it; I 'pose 'at oo
could.”
Boh kissed the babe, and he left the
tree.
“Shoot If you please," he cried, “dern
you!
There's a Job right here that Is callin'
tne."
Butd Butterby then: "I'm dimmed
if I do!"
Thera Is iieace to-day on Huttrbv’s
kill,
Thar# Is peace In the home und the
heart of Bob,
And the sounds of strife are hushed
and still,
And the coroner yet Is minus a lob,
I doli l go much on cussing Mod such,
Hut I hope the otig*l the re> ord hid
Of Huitervy'i oath, or, with gent!*
teuch.
Wrote only: ' Forgiven because of
the kid.”

Impaired Digestion
May not be all that is meant by dyspepsia
now, but it will be if neglected.
The uneasiness after eating, fits ot nerv
ous headache, sourness of the stomach, and
disagreeable belching may not be very bad
now, but they will be if the stomach is
suffered to grow weaker.
Dyspepsia is such a miserable disease
that the tendency to it should be given
early attention. This is completely over
come by
Hood's Sarsaparilla
which strengthens thewhole digestive system
