T BY HON. W. W. OSBORNE.
r The overwhelming defeat of the
KJemocratic party last Tuesday has
been followed by a well-nigh universal
feeling of despondency. That the de
feat was an utter rout we cannot
deny, but it certainly does not mean
annihilation, as some of our friends
teem to predict.
We can and we will re-form within
the next four years and securely and
safely entrench ourselves behind the
breastworks of public opinion. Democ
racy is a living force. Through the
(want of wise counsel on the part of
Its leaders it may sometimes be led
astray temporarily, but that is the
■worst than can happen. The ship is
eff the.course. We have but to glance
at the compass, port the helm and the
(course is again properly laid.
To-day, more than any other time in
the history of the party, do we need
the consolation of this reflection. Suc
cessive defeats during three presiden
tial elections Indicate conclusively that
in some way, and at some point, the
party is out of harmony with the pop
ular will. For ten years the Demo
cratic party has been like unto a self
willed 111 man, sick with some distem
per that does not put him abed.
What is the Remedyf
There has not been an honest Intelli
gent effort to diagnose the disease and
ascertain the remedy that means a
fcure. And so we would have contin
ued to the end of time and each re
curring presidential election receive
added marks of disapproval from the
people, were It not for this overwhelm
ingly, crushing defeat that puts the
sick man to bed and forces that In
trospection which will result, I doubt
not, in the proper diagnosis of the com
plaint, and the application of proper
remedies.
The Democratic party is the party
of the common people. I understand
this to mean the great middle class of
our citizens who always make up a
great majority of the voting public.
The Democratic party Is the medium,
and the only medium through which
the common people can register their
protests against monopolistic greed
and oppression, brought about by the
passage of laws which give special fa
vors to some people and deny It to
Others.
The issue between Democracy and
Republicanism is sharply defined. The
one stands for what is misnamed pro
tection, but which should in fact, and
In truth, be called favoritism. It is
the power acquired corruptly through
legislative action by a few men by
Which they exact from their fellow
citizens more money for a commodity
than they would charge foreigners. De
mocracy antagonizes this idea.
What the Issue Is .
This makes an issue and the only
vital issue between these great par
ties at this time. And yet how
faintly was this issue pressed
throughout the last contest With what
tremendous elfect could an agijres
•ive campaign of education along
these lines have been made. We would
have attacked a train of evils which
grow out of this unjust robbery. With
the search light upon the ingenuous
corrupt methods employed by plutoc
racy to obtain these unjust and un-,
fair advantages we could have put
Republicanism upon the defensive.
Stop and ask yourself how these
monopolists and trusts and plutocrats
ever succeeded in inducing legislative
assemblies to give them these exclu
sive privileges. Did they do so by
honest argument? No man thinks so.
They have had an exceedingly difficult
task, but one which they have master
fully accomplished.
They had to satisfy the American
public that robbery was right. That
tt was conducive to prosperity to per
pilt these money barons by means of
discriminating laws to indirectly ex
tort stupendous fortunes from the
people of this country. They went at
It with skill that almost passes com
prehension. They organized bureaus,
in charge of which they placed high
priced men of great intelligence,
whose sole duty was to Influence leg
islative action.
Inflninclnsr Letlalatloa.
The business of Influencing legisla
tion has grown and grown, and to-day
there Isn't a legislative body In the
United States that Is safe from the
hirelings of these gigantic corpora
tions.
It is not an extravagant statement
to make when I say that there is not
a corporation In the United States to
day of national Importance that does
not have upon Its pay rolls a force of
high salaried men who have no other
duty than to beg, badger, cajofe and
Intimidate legislative assemblies into
granting the monied Interests some
advantage which the public does not
•hare.
So far the South has not been af
flicted In this way to the same extent
as has been the North and West, but
the reason Is be explained only by our
poverty.
Crusade far Georgia.
Even now we are dangerously close
■Ho the necessity for a crusade In our
own state to arrest the Insidious ap
proach of this baleful influence.
Let us reorganize Democracy, having
In view solely the cardinal Idea of De
mocracy. Let us have for our golden
rule the wisest of party maxims,
“equal rights for all and special fav
ors to none.” Let us re-form our lines
*ind light it out on this Une, making
the first assault upon the effort of cor
porate greed to obtain unfair advan
tages by corruptly Influencing legisla
tive action.
The first blow should be struck by
requiring every corporation In this
country to disclose truthfully the
•mount of money It paid out this ysar
from Its various treasuries for no other
purpose than to Influence legislation
unfairly In Its favor. Let us light an
offensive light along those lines antf<
In uty Judgment you will find Dsmoc-
racy enthusiastic behind the standard
and a victory once more possible.
Mouthpiece of Common People.
It will disabuse the public mind of
the Idea becoming prevalent that
Democracy needs a panic to have a
victory. We will have a victory when
ever we become Democrats again. We
will be Democrats again when the par
ty again becomes the mouthpiece of
the common people, crying out against
the unjust and unfair advantages that
the money barons now have.
There is no denying the fact that
much of our present trouble grows out
of the lack of intelligent leadership.
The Republican party has been mas
terfully led. Their leaders can lend our
leaders brains and still have enough to
do business on for themselves. With
artful skill they have obscured and
avoided the cardinal issue of this cam
paign by an aggressive 'attack upon
Democracy, upon a number of collat
eral issues. Not only is this true, but
in these collateral issues they have out
generaled and out-maneuvered us
.whenever they saw fit.
They have taken the popular side of
most of these propositions and Demo
cratic leaders have, in the most docile
manner, just to be on the other side,
taken up the unpopular view. When
ever by some good fortune, rather
than by good judgment, we have been
on the rteht side of these minor is
sues, the Republicans, with their ears
always to the ground, have been smart
enough to find it out, and take the is
sue away from us. Whereupon our
leaders, purely In a spirit of antagon
ism, would immediately take the other
side. In fact, we may safely say that
for years Democracy’s course has been
north, east, south or west, at the will
of smart Republican leaders.
A Leader flndly Wanted.
We sorely lack at the helm of our
ship some big, broad-minded, safe,
sensible, astute, patriotic politicians.
The occasion is there. The man hasn’t
appeared.
A reference or two will serve to il
lustrate what I mean. The Spanish-
Amerlcan War was first advocated by
the Democrats. It was precipitated by
the Democrats. The Democrat leaders
claimed it to be their war and taunt
ed Republicans because they were
dragged into it.
Undeniably the Spanish-Amerlcan
War was popular with the people of
this country. Democracy gained
prestige by bringing it on. The war
was successfully fought and gloriously
ended. Immediately after this the
leaders of the Democratic party threw
ice water all over an enthused Ameri
can public by taking the extraordinary
position that this country should not
reap some benefit as the fruit of its
victory.
Whereupon the Republicans promptly
with audacity we must admire, claimed
the credit for everything that was done
from the time the fleet set sail from
Key West until the treaty of peace was
declared. The Democratic leaders lost
sight of the fact that our party was
entitled to any credit whatever and
spent their days and nights in useless
criticism,—conjuring up some consti
tutional bug-a-boo which they thought
might interfere with their conscien
tious scruples In framing up a treaty
of peace.
Panama Canal and Soath.
The project of building the Panama
canal by Americans with American
money originated with a Democratic
newspaper and was taken up by Dem
ocratic leaders. As soon as the Re
publicans saw it was a popular idea
they promptly adopted it and carried
it to a successful conclusion.
The canal is now an assured fact. It
will belong to us: It is the greatest
step forward that civilization has
taken in centuries. To the South it
means untold, boundless possibilities.
The people, to a man, were enthusias
tically behind the project. The Re
publicans were smart enough to see it
and give the people what they wanted.
But it seems that a small coterie of
Colombian dictators, thieves and graft
ers banded together to "hold up” the
American public. How and why they
failed in this thieving effort, the
American public doesn’t care, except to
commend those that prevented the
theft. It is enough to know that the
great, international, unselfish project
for the benefit of the human race is
assured without first paying tribute
to Colombia's aggregation of grafters.
The Democratic leaders in Congress
promptly took the unpopular side of
the popular movement. They ascend
ed a high plane. They hid behind con
scientious constitutional scruples. In
the face of the denial of our own
American government of any complic
ity in the Panama revolution, and
without a scintilla of evidence upon
which to base r charge eo grave, they
did all they could tq thwart this great
beneficent project, upon the Idea that
our people had not treated these graft
ers right.
I’rlcelees to Mankind.
Asa matter of fact that great
American, public knows that Panama
Is but a miasmatic swamp. It deals out
death. It is utterly useless to the
thieves and grafters who claim to
own It. It is priceless to mankind.
If the President used forced In ac
quiring the right of way for this ca
nal. I for one would not fuss with
him about it. We paid for the priv
ilege an amount In excess of Us value
Mankind needs that strip of land. The
Amertcnn public to-day thinks It
would have been Justified In a legal
Innovation by declaring that we took
this territory by right of International
eminent domain. And yet the records
show that the Democratic party lead
ers antagonized this great project.
Surely they had no Just reason for
such course.
For this last ten years we have been
pursuing an Irrational and illogical
course In our attitude on the money
question. Home years sgo, when times
were hard, It was essential to business
prosperity that there should be an ex
paneton of our currency.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 13. 1904.
FIRE DESTROYED
S. A. L. WAREHOUSES
BLAZE COST ABOUT $30,000.
FIRE BROKE OCT JCBT AS BUILD
ING WAS BRING CLOSED.
Delivery Clerk Morton Saw Flames
Rising; From Carload of Hay ana
Turned In Alarm—Fire Depart
ment Responded and Was Aided
Materially By Tugs—Two Firemen
Hart and Cltlsen Fell Into tho
River—Blase Was a Stubborn One.
A Are that resulted in the burning
of the delivery warehouses of the Sea
board Air Line on River street, west
of West Broad, the injuring of two
firemen, the narrow escape of a citi
zen from drowning and the loss of
property valued at about $30,000, oc
curred last night shortly after 6 o'clock.
For five hours almost all of the fire
apparatus and three tugs were in serv
ice at the warehouses. A general alarm
was sounded by Chief Maguire a few
minutes after box 91. at River and
West Broad streets, had been pulled,
and with the exception of the appara
tus at station No. 6 and hose oompany
No. 1, for the southern section, and
the chemical at the central fire sta
tion, for the northern section, all of
the apparatus answered the call.
Discovery of the Fire.
At 6 o’clock the warehouse was
closed, as is the custom, and the iron
doors facing the river were shut and
locked. In the office was Mr. Robert
Morton, the delivery clerk, who was
preparing to leave the building for
the night. Happening to glance to
wards the storeroom, he saw a flame
of fire shooting up from the midst of
a carload of hay, the tongues of flame
being even then two or three feet
above the top of the hay.
Without taking time to make, any
further investigation Mr. Morton ran
to box 91 and sounded an alarm.
Rushing back Into the office he sent
In a telephone call for Mr. C. C. Mar
tin, who has charge of the warehouses
of the Seaboard, and comunicated to
him hastily that the warehouse was
on fire.
By the time all this was done the
warehouse behind him had become a
roaring furnace, and he had barely
time to seize the books and papers of
the office, and carry them to a place
of safety before the entire structure
became too hot for occupancy.
Tug Boats Render Aid.
Responding to the call and to the
general alarm, the fire apparatus were
soon on the scene. From the river
side the flames were bursting from the
roof and doors, and the sight attracted
the attention of the harbor craft.
Just arcross the river in slip No. 3
was the tug Regis, Capt. Finister. The
tug hastened to the scene, accompan
ied by Capt. Clark, superintendent of
the litherage company. The Dauntless
and the Tybee soon Joined the Regis,
and the three tugs soon had streams
of water playing on the burning ware
houses.
Owing to the darkness and inac
cessibility of the building the firemen
were at first greatly handicapped.
When the tugs arrived the iron doors
on the river side of the warehouse were
white with heat, but they were quickly
cooled sufficiently to permit of their
opening by the firemen. Through the
three doorways, streams of water
played with telling effect upon the
seething caldron of flames which en
veloped the entire interior, and sent
red and angry tongues high In the air.
Heavens Glowed With Fire.
So fiercely and brightly did the fire
burn that the northwestern sky was
rendered lurid and the flames them-
Relves were visible from many parts
of the city. Hundreds of p*ople gath
ered in the neighborhood of the fire,
but a comparatively small number
were able to get near enough to see
what was going on.
At the front there was darkness,
rendered blinding by the smoke, which
issued from the building, so that it
hardly needed the services of the po
lice to keep the people back. The rear
of the building was only reached by a
circuitous route, through Thomas' coal
yard, and over 'plies of wood and along
a narrow edge of the wharf which
hardly permitted two to pass.
Within an hour and a half after the
fire department began its fight on the
flames it was evident that the fire
would not spread, and soon the flames
began to subside in a measure. In an
other hour the interior could be seen
by the light of the flames, a charred
and blazing mass of debris. It was
nearly 11 o’clock before the fire Was
fully conquered.
Estimate of the Loas.
Inside the warehouse was Way, grain,
cement, flour, and general merchan
dise, with a few bales of cotton. The
goods were consigned to local dealers,
and had nearly all been brought over
yesterday in lighters from the ter
minals of (the SeabcUrd on Hutchinson's
Island. It is estimated roughly that
there was between $15,000 and $20,000
worth of goods In the warehouse, all
of which was covered by insurance.
The goods will be a total loss.
The warehouse was badly damaged.
It was built at a cost of about $26.-
000, and extended about 100 feet along
the river front, being about 300 feet
deep from River street. The loss on
the building, which was fully Insur
ed, will be more than half of its val
ue. The walls ’are still standing and
can no doubt be used in rebuilding
the structure.
The warehouse was burned a few
years ago in the rice mill fire. It is
known as the Duckworth Warehouse
and Is bounded on the west by the rice
mill and on the east by Thomas’ wood
and coal yard.
Casualties at Fire.
During the progress of the Are As
sistant Foreman Tom Hamilton of
Are station No. 1, fell down the steps
at the rear of the Savannah Electric
Company's plant and had his right
ankle sprained and was bruised about
the body. He was taken to his home.
Fireman Paul H. Moehrke of the
Central Station had his right hand
badly wrenched In trying to hold a
hose pipe which had been released by
other llremen who were blinded by the
smoke. He was painfully but not se
riously hurt.
Charles Hern, an onlooker, while
walking along the edge of the slip
stepped oft Into the river. Capt.
George T. Clark, who was on the
Regis, threw him a rope and after
sotne difficulty the man was Ashed
out of the wntef. His escape was a
narrow one on account of the presence
of the tugs and of the darkness.
The origin of the Are Is a mystery.
There had been no Are of any kind
near the hay, and a few minutes be
fore the flames broke out Mr. Morton
passed by and saw nothing unusual.
It Is possible that It was a case of
spontaneous combustion.

TO APPOINT COMMITTEE
TO MOVE INFIRMARY.
SDlers Are Going to Moke a
Lively Fight for Ttalg.
A committee of twentv-flve property
owners to take up the fight to get the
Georgia Infirmary tnoved from its pres
ent location on Abercorn street will be
appointed at the meeting of the South
Side Administration Club Friday night.
This committee will take the mat
ter up with the City Council and the
County Commissioners before the ap
propriations for the infirmary for next
year are made. An effort will be made
to get the infirmary to move.
As both the city and the county give
the institution a good appropriation
each year, the aldermen and the Coun
ty Commissioners could, of course,
very easily make the trustees agree to
move. A fight will be made on that
line by the South Siders.
Petitions ore to be circulated among
the residents and property owners in
the South Side, asking that the in
firirory be moved. These petitions
wul be filed with Council and with
the County Commissioners.
NEGRO SNATCHED PURSE
AND MADE HIS ESCAPE.
Grabbed It From Hand at Lady oa
street Late in Afternoon.
A burly negro man snatched a purse
from Miss Lang, near Anderson and
Burroughs streets, late yesterday aft
ernoon as she was going from the E.
& vv. laundry to her home on Ander
son street.
The negro ran down Burroughs
street and disappeared, before Miss
Lang could summon assistance. The
matter was later reported to the po
lice and officers are at work on the
case. The purse contained onlv ten
cents and a knife.

COLD STORAGE
FOR SAVANNAH
WILL BE BUILT AT ONCE
KNICKERBOCKER ICE GO. WILL ES
TABLISH ONE AT ITS PLANT.
This Will Be the Only Commercial
Cold Storage South of Richmond—
Will Have All Modern Appliances
and Any Temperature Desired-
Manager Park Says He Hopes to
Have the Plant Working by
April 1.
Savannah Is soon to have the only
commercial cold storage plant south
of Richmond.
Plans have been drawn, machinery
purchased and the contract given for
the enterprise. Work will be com
menced within a short while.
The cold storage will be built by the
Knickerbocker Ice Company, in connec
tion with its ice plant at Indian and
Waters streets. It will be two stories
with all of the most modem refrigerat
ing devices, electric elevators, etc.
There will be ten or twelve separate
departments, permitting of any tem
perature thfat patrons may desire from
70 degrees down to freezing.
F.nterprlse Badly Needed.
When seen yesterday regarding the
proposed building, Mr. R. L. M. Parks,
manager for the Knickerbocker Ice
Company, said the idea of establishing
a cold storage for commercial pur
poses was first suggested to him by
the number of inquiries which were
made by those who had commodities
which they wished to store. “We were
told in every instance that nothing of
the kind could be found here.
"This led us to look Into the mat
ter of cold storage for commercial pur
poses. We found that in both the
East and West, there were many im
mense cold-storage plants, which were
carrying In their buildings large quant
ities of various commodities, and ship
ping this stuff all over the country,
as called for by the various merchants.
Such things as eggs, apples, butter,
cheese, etc., being sent out of these
oold-storage plants In small quantities,
to our merchants here, and elsewhere,
as they were needed.
Ekcca>i>e Ice Making Capacity.
“With this Information before us,
together with the additional reason
that, despite the fact there Is a much
larger ice-making capacity In Savan
nah now than is used in the hottest
weather, new ice manufacturing plants
are being erected and projected. This,
of course, will give additional surplus
refrigerating capacity, hence we de
cided to utilize this surplus refrigera
tion for commercial cold storage pur
poses.
“We have arranged with one of the
largest and most prominent manufac
turers of refrigerating machines in
this country, to equip for us an up
to-date commercial cold-storage plant.
The building will be a two-story brick
structure, equipped with all the latest
appliances for handling and caring for
the various commodities which go into
cold-storaae.
"We will have about 200,000 cubic
feet of cold-storage apace, with 100
tons of refrigeration to do the work.
This space will be divided into ten or
twelve rooms, properly piped and with
electric elevators for handling the
stores. The rooms will be so arranged
that we can furnish any temperature
that may be needed, different tempera
tures in the different rooms.
“Under these conditions we will be.
in a position to care for eggs, butter,
cheese, apples, potatoes, plants, bulbs,
poultry, game and, in fact, any com
modity that may be offered us, being
able to furnish any desired tempera
ture for their preservation.
In Nature of Experiment.
’’Of course, we realize that this busi
ness is In the nature of an experi
ment In this part of the country, but
feel that if we can have the support
of our merchants, produce and commis
sion men, butchers, etc., together with
the help of our farmers In Savannah’s
territory, we can eventually build up a
business that will mean much to our
city and furnish them better facilities
for handling their business right at
their doors than they can secure hun
dreds of miles away.
' ’’With Savannah’s ‘go forward’ spirit
and 'pull together for Savannah,’ as
represented by our Chamber of Com
merce and various merchants’ associa
tions, we confidently look to them to
give this new enterprise, undertaken by
own home people, their hearty sup
port and encouragement, for it means
more to Savannah and her merchants
than one would imagine who had not
made a study of the possibilities it will
open up for them.
“The plant will be erected on the
property adjoining our present ice
making plant. The work will begin at
once, and we hope to be in operation
by April next.”
