The Weather.
The indications for Georgia for to
day are for fair weather on the coast
and showers in the interior, with light
variable winds. Eastern Florida, show
ers, With light south winds.
King Peter of Servia has ordered an
automobile. The army may not find it
necessary to uphold the honor of the
country in his case as they did in Al
exander's.
It really doesn't seem that July is
going to be any better than June was
in the matter of bloody crimes. A bad
start has been made, and here is a
Saturday holiday at hand.
Should the state determine to build
its railroad to the sea, Savannah is, of
course, the logical outlet for it. There
may be a question as to whether it
should build the extension, but there
is no question as to where the exten
sion should lead in case it is ordered.
If any other town would like to have
the Georgia Legislature assist it in the
celebration of the day to-morrow, let
the invitation go in to-day. The Leg
islature has accepted only three invi
tations for the Fourth, and it is prob
ably in a frame of mind to accept
three or four more.
A letter from Judge Alton B. Parker
is to be read at the Fourth of July
celebration of Tammany Hall in New
York to-morrow. The letter will prob
ably contain much more about politics
than will his speech before the Geor
gia Bar Association at Tallulah Falls
tO-day, though there is no likelihood
that there will be anything suggesting
his own candidacy for the presidency.
Letters from David B. Hill, Grover
Cleveland and William Jennhegs Bryan
will also be read at the Tammany cele
bration, and fhe “long talk" will be
mode by Senator Bailey of Texas.
The automobile horsethlef is the lat
est addition to the criminal brother
hood. He ha# successfully worked sev
eral New' Jersey farmers during the
past few weeks. The way he goes
about it is this; He appears at a farm
house about meal time and says that
his automobile has broken down some
distance away. He asks to hire a horse
and buggy to drive to the nearest
town, where he can get aid. He is
dressed in the latest automobile outfit,
leather cap, goggle# and ail. His out
fit and his offer to pay a liberal price
for the hire of the rig usually has the
desired effect, and the farmer gives
him the best in his stables. When the
automobilist in distress arrives in the
nearest town with the farmer's rig he
•ells it for the best flgiire he can got,
lumps on a train and disappears
.rrnoE pahkbb s reception.
The very cordial reception given
Judge Alton B. Parker at Atlanta and
by the Georgia Bar Association at
Tallulah Falls indicates, that he is
thought of very favorably by many
Georgia Democrats for the Democratic
nomination for President.
Outside of the legal fraternity he is
not of course very well known in the
| South. The people have learned some
thing about him during the last fee
month* through the public prints.
What they have learned from that
source, however, has given them a
very favorable Impression of him.
Of those mentioned for the nomi
nation there is only one perhaps who
has greater popularity in the South.
That one is Senator Gorman. Hy
has been in public life so long, and
has stood the friend of the South
so often when she was in great need
of friends, that it is not at all strange
that the Southern people would re
gard his nomination for President with
great favor.
From the time the name of Judge
Parker was mentioned, however, in
| connection with the presidential nom
ination there has been only kindly
mention of him in the Southern news
papers, and public men of the South
have spoken of him as not only well
fitted for the presidency, but as hav
ing those qualities which would make
him a strong candidate.
Of course the campolgn for the
nomination has not yet progreesed far
enough to justify an expression of
opinion as to Judge Parker's chances
for the nomination. Indeed it is not
known that he is a candidate. He
has never given an indication that
he desired the nomination. It is as
sumed, however, that he wouldn't de
cline such a high honor, that he would
be willing to yield to the wiahes of his
partv.
It is to be said in Judge Parker's
favor, viewing him as a candidate for
the nomination, that he would prob
ably come nearer satisfying both
factions of his party than arty other
one of those mentioned for the nom
ination. The reorganizers have no
particular fault to find wfith him and
the Bryanites cannot say that he
has not always been a Steadfast, party
man.
While it Is true that not as much
is being said in the newspapers about
Judge Parker in connection with the
presidency as there was a few' month*
ago, it I# quite certain that his chances
for the nomination are fully as good
as they were when his name was men
tioned In the newspapers in all parts
of the country about every day. Un
less something Occurs to change the
situation in the Democratic party he
will be a strong candidate before the
nominating convention.
THE IOWA REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
The platform adopted by the lowa
Republicans is just such a one as was
to be expected. It is admitted that it
w'as drawn by Senator Allison, and
it is well understood that he does rot
take a positive position on any ques
tion. Gov. Cummins, who was re
nominated, said that he approved the
platform, but he should continue to
fast to the tbriff ideas to which he
has been giving expression for a year
or two past. He is an advocate of
tariff changes, particularly changes in
the schedules which shelter trusts.
The platform, after glorifying the
tariff system, says there ought to be
changes in the tariff to meet the vary
ing conditions incident “to the progress
of our industries and their changing
relations to our foreign and domestic
commerce.” It also says that “duties
that are too low should be increased
and duties that are too high should be
reduced.”
In other words, the sum and sub
stance of the platform utterance is that
if the duties are not just right they
ought to be made right. Gf course they
ought, but does the Republican party
believe they are not right? That Is the
question. But there is nothing in the
platform that indicates that the Re
publican party intends to take up that
question.
The platform is, of course, a strad
dle. It was so written as not to give
offense to either faction of the Re
publican party in lowa, and to indi
cate that there would be no promise of
a reduction of the tariff in the plat
form that the party w’ill adopt at its
national convention in 1904.
GETTING AT THE VALUE OF A
FRANCHISE.
An interesting suit is pending in one
of the courts of Detroit. It is a friend
ly suit, and the purpose of it is to set
tle the question of the value of a fran
chise once held by the Michigan Cen
tral Railw r ay. Some years ago the
Legislature of Michigan enacted a law
providing that railway passenger fares
in that state should be two cents a
mile. The law did not apply to the
Michigan Central Railway because it
held a special charter from the state
in which it was permitted to charge a
higher rate than two cents. It agreed,
however, to accept the new law, pro
vided the state would pay it what it
would lose by doing so—that is, would
compensate it for the loss it would suf
fer by charging the lower rate.
The railway claimed that its loss
amounted 'to $8,000,000. That- claim
rather startled the state. Neverthe
less it had agreed to pay the loss
whatever it was, and now the court is
trying to find out whether the claim
of the railway is correct—whether it
will, in fact, lose $6,000,000 by having
its passenger fare cut to two cents a
mile.
The state has called for a bill of par
ticulars, and the railway is going over
Its books for many years, separating
its passenger earnings from its other
earnings. What the books will show
is not of course known, but it is Inti
mated in the dispatches that the
books will sustain the claim of the
railway. In that event the state will
have to pay the full amount of the
claim. If it does, it is probable that
the people will come to the conclusion
that the Legislature was rather hasty
in mnking the contract with 4he rail
way to pay for its franchise.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEATS: FRIDAY. JULY 3. 1003.
_ V
THE MILL-HAVEN LINE.
No doubt the invitations to attend
the opening of the Mill-Haven line of
the Savannah Electric Company will
be very generally accepted. NVe ven
ture to say that a very considerable
percentage of the business men of the
city do not know how extensive the
improvements are in what can be prop
erly called the factory district. There
are nine large plants, nearly all of
which have been established, or have
reached their present proportions,
within the last few years. The river
front for a long distance up the river
is about all occupied. In this district
thousands of people earn a living.
Jt was a happy thought of the Sa
vannah Electric Company to> make the
opening of its line leading to these fac
tories the occasion for showing the
business men of the city the size and
importance of these manufacturing
plants. After they see them they will
be satisfied the city hasn't been stand
ing still. They will be ready to admit
that it is growing, and, that too, in a
very substantial way.
One reason why these factories west
of the city are so prosperous is that
they are carefully and wisely managed.
At one time there was a disposition on
the part of Savannah's business men
to put no more money in factories, be
cause some of those in which they had
invested had not been successful. The
cause of*their failure was doubtless the
lack of the right kind of management.
No business undertaking stands a
chance of success unless carefully and
intelligently managed.
The Chamber of Commerce is now
making efforts to get other factories
here, and there is no doubt it will be
successful, but it will require persistent
and well-directed effort to accomplish
a great deal. It is prepared for effort
of that kind, and with the sympathy of
the people supporting it we have every
reason to believe that Savannah will
become a great manufacturing, as it is
a great commercial, city.
CANNON AGAINST THE CURRENCY
BILLS.
As Mr. Cannon is practically certain
to be elected Speaker of the House
some views on currency legislation to
which he gave expression a day
or two ago are causing un
easiness to the friends of both
the Fowler and Aldrich bills. Mr.
Cannon is one of those statesmen
who are of the opinion that there is
money enough now to transact (he
legitimate business of the country, and
that there, is no need for what the
financiers call a more elastic currency.
He ha# given some attention to the
money question, being president of a
national bank. His idea seems to be
that the first thing to be considered in
oonneetSou with the currency is its
safety. Therefore He is against the
Aldrich bill which provides that other
bonds than those of the United States
shall be the basis of it. And he is
against permitting the Secretary of the
Treasury to accept other than United
States bonds as security for govern
ment deposits in national banks. It
seems that he has been studying the
financial situation from the standpoint
of the banks, and has come to the con
clusion that in the West and South the
banks have all the money they want
and that the cry for more money and
an elastic currency comes from New
.York and other Eastern cities where
it is wanted for speculative purposes.
Mr. Cannon says that in all parts of
the country there Is a sufficient
amount of currency for legitimate bus
iness purposes, and that the scarcity at
times in New York is due to the de
mand for it by those engaged in stock
gambling.
Of course there is much truth in what
Mr. Cannon says—-that is, that when
there is a stringency in the money mar
ket it is due largely to the requirements
of the speculators in securities and the
products of the farm—but there are
seasons of the year when the demand
for money for strictly business pur
poses is greater than at other seasons.
When the wheat, com and cotton
crop# are being moved it is doubtful if
the banks of the West and South have
all the money that is required for that
purpose. The currency therefore should
be given an elasticity sufficient to meet
the legitimate demands upon it.
As Mr. Cannon will have the appoint
pointment of the committee on Bank
ing and Currency, his opposition to
both the Fowler and Aldrich bills nat
urally creates uneasiness among the
friends of these measures. It indicates
that he intends that there shall be no
hasty currency legislation simply be
cause the banking and other financial
interests of New York are calling for
more money.
Hotels at Atlantic City find them
selves in a rather queer predicament.
Some days ago a man drove up to one
of them and announced that he want
ed accommodations for himself and his
horse. He was informed that he could
be accommodated, but that his horse
would have to be sent to a livery sta
ble. He demanded that the horse be
taken care of at the hotel. The hotel
people laughed at him. “Don't you
know the law?” asked the visitor.
“Under the charter of this City,” he
went on, “no hotel can be licensed to
do business unless it provides accom
modations 'for man and beast.' If you
haven't arrangements for my horse,
your license is illegal and not worth
the paper it is written on.” Still the
hotel people laughed, “I’ll see a lawyer
about this!” exclaimed the now exas
perated visitor. And he did. The char
ier was looked up. It contained the
identical provision that the man had
quoted. The district attorney’s atten
tion was called to the matter. He has
notified the hotels that each of them
must provide itself with stables, so that
it. can entertain “beasts” as well as
men, on pain of revocation of license.
The Chicago girl is improving. That
is the announcement officially made
after the physical examination of 100
applicants for teachers' places in the
public schools. Instead of running to
feet, the Chicago girl is now develop
ing shoulders and torso, and her feet
are growing smaller. From No. 4 shoes
she has now dropped to 2s, with room
in them to spare. Physical culture is
. given as the cause of the change.
In the editorial columns of his news
paper, the Philadelphia Press, former
Postmaster General Smith has Called
Mr. Tulloch of Washington a number
of hard names, even intimating that
Ananias was not in the same class
with him as a prevaricator. There is
talk of Mr. Tulloch instituting suit
against him for libel. If Mr. Tulloch
were a citizen of Pennsylvania he
would find the Pennypacker libel law
most convenient, but since he is a res
ident of the District of Columbia he
would have to proceed under the fed
eral statutes. And there has always
been trouble about bringing proceed
ings by Washington people against
outside editors. Mr. Noyes of Wash
ington some years ago tried it on the
late Charles A. Dana without success.
The Hon. John Barrett of Oregon,
who has come to be known as a politi
cal "Johnny-on-the-spot,'' has once
more landed in a snug berth. A minis
ter to the Argentine Republic was
wanted; Mr. Barrett had just got
back from a trip to Oriental countries
in the interest of the St. Louts exposi
tion; the President’s eye fell upon him,
and he was appointed. He has accept
ed. The place pays SIO,OOO a year. Mr.
Barrett began his political career as a
Democrat, and Cleveland sent him as
minister to Slhm. He is now a Repub
lican. Trying to lose Barrett Is like
trying to drop a cat on its back.
A strike of the police force of Peoria,
111., is imminent; and it is on account
of the color question. There are a
number of negro voters In Peoria. To
make itself solid with them, the city
administration has appointed two col
ored men on the police force. The
white policemen refuse to work with
the black ones, and say they will re
sign unless the blacks are removed.
The chief says that in order to main
tain discipline he will not remove the
Objectionable officers.
PERSONAL.
—The man who has profited most by
the recent Wall street declines is gen
erally supposed to be Harry Weil, the
St. Louis operator. Mr. Weil's win
nings are estimated to be between $2,-
000,000 and $3,000,000. Over a month
ago Mr. Weil told his friends that Atch
ison common would sell below' 65, Union
Pacific at 77 and Canadian Pacific be
low 120. Every one of these predic
tions has been fulfilled.
—While arguing a case in the United
States court in Wheeling, W. Va„ c-n
Monday, ex-Judge Blizzard was sud
denly stricken dumb. He was in the
midst of a heated address when he be
gan to stammer in his speech. A phy
sician ordered complete rest, but it is
feared Mr. Blizzard's vocal organs have
sustained permanent injury. He had
been prominently mentioned as Repub
lican candidate for Governor next year.
—Harvest hands on the farm of Col.
Charles L. Daugherty, near Bowling
Green, Ky., went on strike a few days
ago, demanding an increase in pay. The
Colonel was aw'ay from home, but Mrs.
Daugherty, a club and society woman,
refused to raise wages. Nearly all of
the farm hands left, whereupon Mrs.
Daugherty mounted the binder and,
aided by a few’ men who remained, cut
twenty acres of wheat before anew
force could be secured.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Louisville Courier-Journal
(Dem.) says: “Mills in Lowell have
sold back to the South 8.000 bales of
cotton because it is more profitable to
sell cotton at present prices than to
make it into cloth. Of course, they
are counting on buying their cotton
later on at lower rates, and there is
every reason to believe that they will
succeed in doing this, to the discomfit
ure of the rampant bulls who are now
making fictitious prices.”
The New York Journal of Commerce
(Ind.) says: "A proper elasticity
would furnish an adjustable factor in
the money market that would bring
rates into a legitimate relation to sup
ply and demand and give them stabil
ity. It is quite possible that remedial
legislation will be staved off at the
next session of Congress, but Mr. Can
non cannot prevent the agitation and
discussion of the subject even at Wash
ington, and the policy of suppressing
the only issues of importance before
the country cannot long prevail, be
cause events will force them upon the
attention of the people.”
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
“Wage earners are opposed to child
labor in the abstract, and in favor of
it in the concrete. Collectively, In their
unions, they denounce it as one of the
greatest outrages of the time; indi
vidually, as the fathers of healthy chil
dren, especially boys, who are capable
of contributing to the family income,
and are not too easy to mb n a go, they
are heartily in favor of child labor. In
short, they wish their own children
employed, but not the children of other
people. Child labor is denounced as a
gross outrage when It can be made to
appear that the parents have to put
their ohilcb-en to work in order to eke
out their <nvn scanty incomes, but some
parents whose incomes are not scanty
are just as anxious as other parents
to get whatever additional income may
be obtained through the children. The
legislation of last winter prohibiting
the employment of boys under 16 in
coal mines was Inspired by the pitiful
tales told by the miners when they
were trying to get their wages raised,
and now the miners are in a state of
high indignation because their hoys
are compelled *.o be idle. The bitum
inous miners say ingenuously that they
did not object to the bill when it was
pending because they thought It would
apply only to the anthracite miners; it
was no concern of theirs how idle other
peoples boys were.’*
Ah Knrncut Drinker.
"Talking about moderate drinking,”
said Father Lawler of the Cathedral
parish, after he had addressed the del
egates at the meeting of the Total Ab
stinence L T nion, and walked down the
street toward the parochial residence,
according to the St. Paul Globe, “I
know a physician in this town who
ordered a patient of his to take a glass
of wine four times each day. This
patient is a well-known man in St.
Paul, noted for being a strict abstain

the physician called, and seeing little
change, asked the wife of this pa

"I understand,” said the dramatic
author, according to an exchange, “that

and spectacle.'
"That’s it' That's what I've got.

Rebuke of the Sentry.
They are laughing in Washington
over a rebuke that a sentry of one of
the departments adrriiriistered recently
to the Russian ambassador’s coachman.
The coachman, it appears, wished
to drive his master’s carriage along
a roadway that for some reason was
barred. When the sentry refused to
let the carriage pass, the coachman
remonstrated.
“I drive,” he said, "ze Russian min
ister.”
"I can’t help it,” returned the sentry.
"Let me Trough,” persisted the
coachman. "My master is ze Count
Cassini, ze ambassador extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary of ze
Czar of all ze Russias."
“Frenchy, 1 ’ said the sentry, “I
wouldn't let you through even if your
master was a free born American cit
izen."
Why He Wanted to Run.
The late Gen. Alexander McDowell
McCook had a story illustrative of
readiness in excuse, which he used to
tell occasionally. Some raw troops
were drawn up for their first battle.
They were on marshy ground, under
fire, and ankle deep in slush. One of
the soldiers was noticed to be tremb
ling excessively, and his fear might
communicate itself to his comrades.
An officer ; iproached him.
"Here, you, what are you trembling
for?” demanded the officer. “Stop it.
or you’U demoralize the company. You
are in no more danger than any one
else. Don't be afraid.”
“I-I-I am no-t-t a-a-afraid," chat
tered the soldier. ‘‘l-I-I had the ague
last year, and —and standing still in
this m-m-mud so long has b-brought
it on aga-again. .W-w-wouldn’t it-t-t
be a g-g-good idea to r-r-run a lit-lit
tle and get warmed up?”
"Hello. Heaven!”
Secretary Shaw, who is just back at
his desk from a round of visits to his
old neighbors in lOwa, has goodnatur
edly tried to impart some of the pleas
antries of his trin to officials of his
department who had to stay at home
and work while he romped with the
President, says the New York Tribune.
The secretary visited a college presi
dent, who is also a “reverend,” and
was invited to stay for supper wijh
the doctor and his family. A tele
phone had just been added to the lux
uries of the household, and the aged
preacher was at the moment some
what wrought up in an effort to com
municate with a nearby town. He had
sat at the telephone desk with the re
ceiver to his ear, held in place by rest
ing his elbow on the table, and ejacu
lating "Hello” with nearly every breath
for something like fifteen minutes. In
the mean time his wife had been urg
ing him to leave the instrument and
conie to the supper table. This he
finally did. He sat down, and the fam
ily composed itself for the usual gruoe.
The doctor rested his elbow on the ta
ble, placed his hand to his head and,
greatly to the surprise and horror of
the family, he ejaculated in a sub
dued tone. “Hello!”
Col. Lewis' Whiskers.
"Col.” J. Hamilton Lewis has been
insulted again, says the New York
Tribune. It appears that the insult was
unintentional. Mr. Lewis was strolling
through the corridor of a hotel in Chi
cago, when he encountered Col. Wil
liam D. Snyman, the expatriated Boer,
who is in the United States completing
plans for the colonisation in Chihua
hua, Mexico, of those of his country
man who refuse to submit to British
rule. The Mexican government has
promised to assist the Boer exiles to
pay for farms, and Col. Snyman is
making the final arrangements for the
transportation of his countrymen to
Chihuahua.
“How do you do, sir?” he said to
Mr. Lewis. “Have we not met be
fore?”
Mr. Lewis could not remember that
they h'ad, but he is not the man to say
"no.”
"Delighted to see you,” he remarked
suavely, offering his hand. The two
men fell to talking, and matters pro
gressed swimmingly. Before they had
conversed five minutes Col. Snyman de
cided that it would not be amiss to of
fer his new friend a farm in Chihua
hua. Mr. Lewis received the offer good
naturedly. He thanked the stranger,
and w 4 as about to ask for an explana
tion when the insult came. "Do you
know,” said Col. Snyman, and his tone
was warm with good fellowship, "do
you know, I recognized you as a Boer
the moment my eyes fell on you. I
think it was your whiskers that first
drew my attention. No one but a
Boer could grow whiskers like yours."
The Way to the Sea.
From the Youth's. Companion.
Two mountain lakes serenely He
Beneath the peaceful Slimmer sky.
Close guarded by the hills that stand
Protecttngly on either hand.
With rugged crags upreaching high.
But breezes come and breezes go.
And whisper soft, and whisper low
A wondrous story of the sea;
The waters listen restlessly;
If they could know, could only know!
Two mountain brooks rejoicing leap
From stone to stone. The way is steep
For one: its waters swift and strong,
Resistless, reckless, dash along,
And make themseives a channel deep,.
The other finds a smoother way
O'er moss-grown banks where sun
beams play.
Its waters to the river flow
Which onward moves sedate and/slow,
And broader grows from day to'day.
From lake to sea the ways must be
Apart, and only the breezes free
Know that wherever the streams mav
flow.
And whether swift or whether slow
They both, at last, shall Qnd the sea.
