The Weather.
The indications for Georgia and

partly cloudy weather, with occasion
al rains, with light variable winds.
The protectionist campaign In Eng
land seems to have collapsed. At all
events, it is Inactive at present. Not
even Mr. Chamberlain’s return to Lon

stir up any Interest in the movement.
What plans Mr. Chamberlain has for
the future nobody seems able to find
out.
The great fire in Baltimore present

Henry James, the English economist,

This view, of course, will not meet
with approval at the White House and

against of late.
Hon. John H. Reagan, of Texas, the
only surviving member of the Con
federate Cabinet, a life-long Democrat
and a man of recognized ability and
probity, has written Mr. W. J. Bryan
a letter pointing out what he con
ceives to be the only way to Democrat
ic success in the next election. Here
is how Mr. Reagan says the party can
win: "By the adoption by the National
Democratic Convention when it meets
of a platform covering the recognized
cardinal principles of the party, and
leaving questions of differences of opin
ions among Democrats to be settled
within the party after it shall have
gotten the control of the government,
uniting the whole strength of the par
ty for this purpose, and offering this
inducement to the floating vote of the
country and to dissatisfied Republicans.
This plan would open the whole field
for political discussion, and It seems
to me offers the only possible chance
for the success of the Democratic par
fcly in the coming national election.”
MR, BRYAN SHOULD EXPLAIN.
In his speech at Chicago, a week ago
last Saturday, Mr. Bryan said:
"Judge Parker is not a fit man to be
nominated either by the Democratic
party or any othpr party that stands
for honest or fair dealing in politics.”
In 1900, according to a recent interview
with J. T. Woods Merrill, of Kansas
City, he said: "I consider Judge
Parker an able, conscientious and
energetic statesman, broad minded and
full of progressive ideas.”
Which is Mr. Bryan's opinion of
Judge Parker, that which he ex
pressed in his Chicago speech or that
which he expressed to Mr. Merrill?
He ought to enlighten the public.
There is certainly reason why he
should make an explanation.
In a special dispatch to the New
York World from Kansas City, it is
stated that Mr. Merrill is a close
friend of Mr. Bryan, and In 1896 and
1900 was among his staunchest sup
porters. He was chairman of the Fi
nance Committee of Jackson county,
and all through those campaigns was
in close communication with Mr.
Bryan.
Some time before the meeting of the
Kansas City convention in 1900 Mr.
Bryan, according to Mr. Merrill, was
anxious to have Judge Parker on the
ticket with him. He said to Mr. Mer
rill; "With Judge Parker we would
be sure of Nev. York, Connecticut and
New Jersey,” and he asked Mr. Mer
rill to push the Parker movement. In
accordance with Mr. Bryans request,
Mr. Merrill telegraphed to Judge Par
ker asking him to accept the second
place on the ticket with Mr. Bryan.
In response Judge Parker telegraphed’
that he had no ambition whatever for
either executive or legislative office.
It seems he was then, as he is now,
satisfied with the high judicial office
which he holds. He has consented to
be a candidate for the nomination for
President only of the extra
ordinary pressure that has been
brought to bear upon him to permit
his name to go before the St. Louis
convention.
Mr. Merrill says that Mr. Bryan did
not say a word against Judge Parker
until after Mr. Cleveland voluntarily
said he thought the nomination of
Judge Parker would be a good one.
Apparently Mr. Bryan has made up
his mind not to approve of any candi
date that has the approval of Mr.
Cleveland. In other words, he doesn’t
Intend, if he can help it, that there
shall be harmony in the Democratic
party. It looks as if he were deter
mined to smash the Democratic party
rather than permit any of those who
didn't give him a hearty support in
1896 and 1900 to have anything to say
in its affairs.
But how is Mr. Bryan going to
satisfy his fellow Democrats that
Judge Parker is not a fit man to be
nominated for President? He thought
he was a fit man to be nominated for
Vice President in 1900, and if he was
fit to be nominated then why isn’t he
fit to be nominated now? Judge Par-,
ker 1b the same “able, conscientious
and enerfcetic statesman” now that
he was then. His political views have
not undergone any radical change.
Mr. Bryan has no fault to find with
anything he has said or done since
1900. As far as the public is able to
observe Mr. Bryan thinks Judge Par
ker is not a fit man to nominate sim
ply because Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Hill
and some other Democrats whom Mr.
Bryan doesn’t like, favor his nomina
tion.
This being the case. Is Mr. Bryan a
good man to follow? Is he not show
ing a willingness to wreck the Demo
cratic party out of spite?
If the Democratic party is to win
the presidential election It must be
harmonious. Its factions must get to
gether. It Is evident that there is no
other candidate who can so com
pletely unite the factions as Judge
Parker can. Still, Mr. Bryan is
against him, because the leaders of
one of the factions favors his nomina
tion. Is It not about time for the
Democratic party to say to Mr. Bryan
that it has had enough of him, and
that it will not pay any attention to
his wishes in future?
TIIK JAPAXESK ADVANCE.
The Japanese have succeeded in
crossing the Yalu river and now have
a large force in Manchuria. Prom
the account* thus far received the
crossing was attended by some severe
fighting, but, as yet, there has been
no general battle.
It is evident that the Russians are
not well prepared to resist the ad
vance of the Japanese, and It is stat
ed in the dispatches that they hardly
expected to be able to prevent
them from crossing the Yalu.
What the plans of the contending
forces are does not appear from any
thing which has been, as yet, made
public. No doubt it is the pur
pose of the Japanese to do ail the in
jury to the Russians they can in
pursuance of their purpose to drive
them out of Manchuria. They are in
a position now to reach the railroad
leading to Port Arthur. If they reach
It, and hold it, they will command
Port Arthur, and practically the whole
of the Liaotung peninsula. The Rus
sians can't get supplies to Port Ar
thur by water, since what is left of
their fleet there is bottled up. If they
can’t prevent the Japanese from tak
ing possession of the Port Arthur
railroad they may consider it advis
able to abandon Port Arthur.
Of course, with control of the penin
sula of Liaotung the Japanese will be
far from accomplishing their purpose
of forcing the Russians out of Man
churia. but they will be in a good posi
tion for accomplishing it.
It is stated that the Russian gen
era!, Kuropatkin, is well satisfied with
the situation, and that he is conduct
ing a waiting campaign—that is. he is
doing what he can to retard the ad
vance of the Japanese until he has a
sufficient force at his command to
Justify him in risking a general en
gagement. At that time he expects
be able to chose his own position.
Of course, the Japanese understand
the difficulties under which the Rus
sians are laboring, and perhaps they
have a pretty good understanding of
Gen. Kuropatkln’s plans. They have
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MAY 3. 1004.
shown thus far that they are wide
awake, and there isn’t much danger
of their falling into any trap the Rus
sians are likely to set for them. If
Gen. Kuropatkin is seeking to entice
them inland, away from their base
of supplies, with the view of attacking
them with an overwhelming force in a
position of his own choosing, there Is
a probability of his being disappointed.
SOI DAN COTTON CONDEMNED.
We have heard recently a good deal
of England’s project to produce vast
quantities of cotton in the Soudan, and
thus relieve her cotton manufacturers
from dependence upon American cot
ton. Last week there was a meeting
in the Chamber of Commerce of Paris
of the representatives of a syndicate
of cotton manufacturers of Roubalx
and Lille, for the purpose of consid
ering the question of joining English
and Belgian manufacturers in a scheme
to suppress American speculation in
cotton by experimenting in the culti
vation of cotton in new fields. The
European manufacturers of cotton
goods contend that American specula
tors in cotton ruin their industry by
making the price of cotton uncertain.
The chief speaker at the Chnmber of
Commerce meeting was Gaston Sin
ette. one of the most prominent of the
cotton manufacturers of France. In
the course of his remarks he said that
Soudan cotton was unfit for manufac
turing purposes, and that it could nev
er come into competition with American
cotton. According to a cablegram in
the New Y’ork World, he said that no
where else in the world could cotton
be grown equal to that grown in the
United States, and that the European
manufacturers would have to put up
with American speculation in cotton,
no matter how reckless it might be.
He pointed out that millionaire manu
facturers had spent large sums in times
past trying to grow cotton in various
parts of the world in competition with
American cotton, and had failed, and
that therefore it was folly for this new
organization, with its limited resources,
to embark in the undertaking.
Gaston Sinette takes the position in
regard to the cultivation of cotton that
has been occupied for a long time by
Edward Atkinson of Boston. In an
article published quite recently, he said
the cotton farmers of the Southern
states were in no danger of competition
in the growing of cotton.
If the present season proves to be a
favorable one for the cultivation of
cotton the European spinners will have
no occasion to complain of the supply
of cotton, and perhaps the price will
come nearer being acceptable to them
than it has been during the past few
months. The cotton acreage this sea
son Is much larger than it was last,
and there is talk of a crop of 12,000,-
000 bales. If this talk should prove
to be well founded the price would
hardly be above 12 cents a pound.
A NOVEL EXHIBIT.
One of the most remarkable exhibits
which will be seen at the St. Louis
exposition Is a collection of that spe
cies of mosquitoes which are supposed
to carry germs of yellow fever. The
collection is in charge of Dr. Fred
erieo Torralbas, a member of the
Board of Health of Havana. Dr. Tor
ralbas was at one .time a surgeon of
the Marine Hospital Service, and he
took part in the series of experiments
that were made In Havana two or
three years ago for the purpose of
discovering whether or not the germ
of yellow fever was carried by the
mosquito, and, If so, what species of
the Insect conveys It.
In the collection that is at the ex
position there is none that has been
innoculated with yellow fever. There
fore if they should escape they
wouldn’t be a source of danger. They
are In a cage, and are fed on sugar
and water. They live three or four
days, long enough to deposit larvae,
from which comes anew crop. Thus
the Insects go on increasing, and Dr.
Torralbas says that by the first of
June he will have In his cage between
800 and 1,000 mosquitoes.
Of Course the mosquitoes, unaccom
panied by experiments, wouldn’t be of
much interest, but It is the purpose to
have demonstrations, showing exactly
how yellow fever is spread by them.
There will be no yellow fever patients,
but subjects will be brought in con
tact with the Insects and there will
be practical demonstrations which, it
is expected will help to educate the
public in regard to the subject.
It is doubtful if the mosquito theory
is as yet fully accepted. It is worthy
of notice that the Texas authorities
arp not depending upon killing mosqui
toes that may escape from Mexico
to keep the yellow fever out of that
state next summer. They are depend
ing upon the old-fashioned quarantine.
They have made a regulation that per
sons coming from the yellow fever dis
trict of Mexico shall be quarantined
a certain number of days at the bor
der before entering Texas.
If the Mexican authorities can get
the Texas authorities to accept the
mosquito theory the quarantine may
be raised, and a war on mosquitoes
begun. At present, here in the South,
more dependence is placed upon quar
antine than upon freedom from mos
quitoes for protectioA against yellow
fever.
An odd circumstance In connection
with the Inaugural ceremonies at the
St. Douis Exposition the other day is
the fact that both the state of Mis
souri and its Governor, the Hon. A.
M. Dockery, were overlooked in the
programme. There were people to
stand up on the platform for the city,
for Congress and for various other
corporations and organizations, but
Missouri had no place in the picture.
Gov. Dockery is said to be much pro
voked.
An ethnologist of Columbia Uni
versity says that In the vocabularies
of savage races there are no words
to represent the color blue. They have
words for other colors. Why they
have none for blue, the ethnologist
thinks, may be accounted for by the
fact that they do not see that color.
He is going to make tests at the
World's F'atr to ascertain, If possible,
if It Is true that savages cannot see
blue.
In Derby, Conn., there la a young
woman. Miss Mary Way. who Is
credited with having made money
enough at farming in five years to re
tire and live at ease hereafter; and
her farm was not a very good one,
either. Miss Way was left an orphan
five years ago, with her living to make
from a stony and worn-out farm. She
immediately Invested every cent she
could raise in blooded cattle and went
Into the stock business. She bought
all of the Jersey and Holstein calves
she could find, and devoted herself to
making them the best stock that high
feeding and unremitting care could
produce. She arose at 4 o’clock in the
morning and personally supervised
even the smallest details of caring for
the stock. Soon her cattle became
famous, and wealthy people wanted
cows from her farm. She charged fan
cy prices for them, and got what she
demanded. Now she has transferred
her business to other hands, and has
money enough to enable her to quit
work.
The steamship Craigneuk is ashore
and wrecked on Brigantine Shoals, as
a consequence of her captain’s efforts
to save a human life. A fisherman
at sea In his dory, in a gale, was
sighted by Capt. Calvin on the Craig
neuk. Under the circumstances it
seemed inevitable that the fisherman
must perish unless help reached him
quickly. Capt. Calvin endeavored to
go to his assistance, and his ship went
on the shoals and was lost, with her
cargo worth $250,000. The fisherman,
however, escaped unaided by the big
hearted mariner. Now the question
arises, was Capt. Calvin justified in
risking his ship and her cargo to save
a single life? Public opinion will be
apt to answer In the affirmative, but
the caiptain’s owners may take a dif
ferent view of the matter.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The New York World (Dem.) says:
"Mr. Bryan was always strong on the
atrics. His pose and recitation of The
boy stood on the burning deck, whence
ail but him had fled,’ is very realistic.
It ought to be. He is the modern Cas
ablanca.”
The Galveston News (Dem.) says;
“Chairman Jones, of the Democratic
Executive Committee, refuses to talk
for publication lest he stir up strife
within the party. Chairman Jones is
a good man and is right in doing this
much for harmony, but he might do
more by saying something .that would
tend to make for peace.”
The Houston Post (Dem.) says:
"Some wiseacre at Dallas who styles
himself 'Old Politician.' says Mr. Bry
an will visit Texas in May and make
several speeches against Judge Par
ker. It Is very kind of Mr. Bryan
to protect the benighted people of Tex
as from the dark schemes of Judge
John H. Reagan, Joe Bailey, Senator
Culberson, ex-Gov. Sayers, Col. Tom
Campbell, Gov, Lanh&m, the congress
men and other public enemies.”
The Albany (N. Y.) Argus (Dem.)
says: “‘A Congress that has done
nothing but spend money' is the apt
characterization of Representative
Bartlett of Georgia, In speaking of the
session so abruptly terminated yester
day. This phrase will stick, and with
it will go the damning knowledge that
the money spent came from the pock
ets of overburdened American con
sumer, who must pay more for Amer
ican trust-made goods than they are
sold for abroad, on account of the
‘stand pat' tariff robbery."
Mean Things About Chicago.
This little old town is a good enough
place for most New Yorkers—New
Yorkers by birth or by saturation —and
it doesn’t lose much by comparison,
says the New York Sun. One of'the
inoculated who Is now at Mount Clem
ens, Mich., winding up a season's ex
ile, has written home a few ideas of
the other places gathered by the way.
There are reasons for not telling why
he picked out the Michigan health re
sort to prepare for home in—anyway,
ideas weren’t all he gathered on the
road. Here Is Chicago as the New
Yorker saw it after three months -of
"Rum, roulette and the i‘aces” in New
Orleans.
"Have you ever spent five weeks
alone with your soul in Chicago? To
begin with, it isn’t a city; It’s a geo
graphical ulcer. The bacilli who in
habit it defy analysis. You can walk
for ten hours* without meeting a
cldun shirt or a clean conscience.
“At the end of two weeks I felt like
the illegitimate child of Lucretiaißor
gia, by Benedict Arnold. At the end
of four I was a moral Caius M’arius,
sitting among the ruins of the Ten
Commandments.
"After Chicago, what was-left f me
was sent here for repairs. This is a
sort of medical Saragossa Sea to .which,
nearly all the physical wrecks of the
nation finally drift.
“Here they bathe in a delightful min
eral water which can be reproduced at
home by placing a gross of .cheap
matches in a tub of water and leaving
them to soak all night.
“A person who can use all of his limbs
is the object of gossip and suspicion.
The man who could walk went away
yesterday, but we are cheered by the
rumor that another will arrive to-d‘ay
who can use both his hands. And it
is among these surroundings that I
seek to eliminate the remaining R’s
of this rotten winter—remorse and
rheumatism.”
He’s coming home soon.
Short Personal Stories.
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, says
the best speech of introduction he
ever heard Was delivered by a German
mayor of a smal town in Wisconsin
where Spooner had engaged to speak.
The mayor said; ‘Toadies and Shentle
mens: I ask haf been indrotoose you to
the Honorable Senator Spooner, who
to you will m’ake a speech yes. I haf
now done so, and he will now do so.”
The late Henry W. Oliver, the Pitts
burg capitalist, took great Interest
in poor children and left numerous be
quests in their behalf. One day he
tried to test all urchin’s intelligence.
Pointing to a pile of stones, he asked
how they were made. The boy replied
that ‘‘tfiey growed, just like potatoes.”
Mr. Oliver shook his head. “No, my
lad, you are wrong,” he said. “Stones
can’t grow. If you were to come back
to these stones five years or ten years
or twenty years from now they would
still be the same size.” “Of course,"
said the little boy, sneering. ‘‘They’ve
been taken out o’ the ground now, and
have stopped growin’—same as pota
toes would.”
Leonard D. Baldwin, of ex-Attorney
General Gvigg's law firm, told the other
day of an Irishman who was taken by
his priest in an intoxicated condition
to a cemetery and propped up against
a . gravestone. The priest had a lot
of ;the Irishnfan’s friends come to the
cemetery dressed in winding sheets to
scare him. The friends watched, while
one of them went behind the grave
stone and poured enough cold water on
the Irishman's face to wake him up.
The Isishman looked around him. He
saw the tombs, the tombstones and the
figures in winding sheets. "Shay, you
fellers,’ he said, "ye’ve been here longer
than Oi 'h'ave. Whar kin Oi. git a
drink?”
Some Unexpected Evidence.
Mrs. Neiswanger of Beloit sued the
Missouri Pacific Company for *IO,OOO
damages for injuries received In a fall
for -which, she alleged, the company
\Vas responsible, says the Topeka
Capital. .The case was tried in Rooks
county.
B. P. Waggener wanted to prove
that there was a full moon at the
time the accident happened and to
place the responsibility on the plain
tiff. He sent a boy downtown to a
drugstore to get* an almanac of that
year. Without examining it, except
to see that it contained the proof which
he desired, he offered it in evidence.
The attorney for Mrs. Neiswanger,
in his argument, said that the defen
dant company was the property of Jay
Gould and other millionaires, who had
amassed fortunes amounting to hun
dreds of millions. Mr. Waggener pro
tested against this line of discussion,
declaring that there was nothing in
the evidence to warrant the state
ment.
“But there is, may it please your
Honor,” the other lawyer declared.
"It is in the evidence offered by Mr.
Waggener himself.”
“Where?” exclaimed Mr. Waggener.
“In this almanac," the opposing law
yer said, and sure enough In the book
were pictures and short sketches of
Jay Gould. Russell Sage, Henry Mar
quand and other associates of Gould,
and every one of them said to be
worth from 175,000,000 to *100,000,000.
The jury returned a verdict of *5,000
for Mrs. Neiswanger.
An Attorney’s Assurance.
Representative Henry, of Texas, dis
cussing the Cockran-Dalzell Incident in
the House, was telling how Thomas
Fannin Smith, of Texas, was accustom
ed to bullyrag the judges before whom
he practiced, says the New York
World.
“Does counsel think this Court is
a fool?” asked the Judge of Smith
after a particularly boastful statement
had been made by counsel.
"1 should not like to answer Your
Honor's question, and would be glad
to be excused,” Smith answered, “aa
I might subject myself to contempt
of court.”
“You are fined *lO for contempt,”
the judge answered.
With a great display of bills Smith
paid the fine to the clerk, at the same
time muttering: "Anyhow, it is *lO
more than the Court can show.”
“You are fined *SO additional for
contempt,” the court ordered, and as
Smith did not have this amount he
was to raise it before the next day or
go to jail.
“Your Honor,” he finally said, “in
view of all the circumstances, I am
convinced Your Honor was Joking
about that *SO fine, and I move that it
be remitted.”
Smith's assurance was so great that
the Judge remitted the *SO fine.

Viceroy Alexieff, the Ruslan soldier,
visited America in 1878. A Washing
ton official said of him the other day:
"Alexieff came here on the Cimbria
with a number of Russians of high
rank, and the quantity of wine these
men could consume without being af
fected by it was the talk of the day.
There were even editorials in the news
papers on this matter.
”1 remember entering the Russians'
suite in Washington one day with
Alexieff. and coming upon a young
colonel who sat at a table smoking
with four empty champagne bottles
before him.
Alexieff looked at the empty bottles
and laughed.
" 'Did you drink all that without as
sistance?' he asked.
” 'No,' replied the young officec, lan
guidly, 'I had the assistance of a bot
tle of burgundy.’"

You cannot afford to grow old.
In these days of strenuous competi
tion it is necessary to maintain, as
long as possible, one’s youthful ap
pearance.
It Is impossible to do this without
retaining a luxurious growth of hair.
The presence of Dandruff indicates
the presence of a burrowing germ
which lives and thrives on the roots of
the hair until it causes total baldness.
Newbro’s Herptcide is the only
known destroyer of this pest, and it is
as effective as it is delightful to use.
Herpiclde makes an elegant hair
dressing as well as Dandruff cure.
