With the first touch of winter comes
the announcement that the coal trust
is going to put up the price of coal

It must be highly gratifying to Mr.

But has not the trust been making

AMERICAN SHIPPING.
How can American shipping be In
creased? That Is the question that will
be Inquired into by the Congressional
Committee that meets at Brunswick
to-day. A committee from this city
appointed by the trade bodies will be
present to discuss the question with
the Congressional Committee.
There is great interest In the sub
ject in this city, as there is in Bruns
wick, and other ports of the South
ern states, owing largely to the bene
fits that are expected to be derived
from the Panama canal. Besides these
benefits, it is felt that the greater part
of the {200,000,000 a year which this
country pays in ocean freight charges
ought to remain in this country, in
stead of going into the pockets of
foreigners. When it is recalled that at
one time in our history—in 1826—more
than 92 per cent, of American com
merce was carried In American bot
toms, it seems to be a reflection upon
American genius and enterprise that
only about 9 per cent, of this trade is
now carried in vessels flying the Amer
can flag.
No doubt there are plenty of Ameri
cans who would engage in a seafaring
life if the opportunity were presented
to them in American ships. Why not
then adopt a policy that would in
sure the greater part of American
commerce being carried In American
ships, a policy that would make the
American flag as well known in practi
cally all parts of the world as it once
was—as well as, if not better than, that
of any other nation?
There are three methods suggested
for the building up of American ship
ping, namely, the subsidy method of
the Republican party, the methods of
discriminating duties by which the
Democratic party made the American
marine about the greatest in the world
and the free ships method. There Is
no doubt that if American citizens
had the privilege of American registry
for ships purchased wherever they
could be obtained the cheapest, it
wouldn’t be long before the bulk of
the country’s foreign commeroe would
be transported in ships carrying the
American flag; but there is no use dis
cussing the question of free ships. The
Republican party is strong enough now
and promises to be strong enough for
some years to come, to prevent any
thing approaching free ship legislation.
And there is strong opposition to the
subsidy method, even among Republi
cans. The Republicans have been try
ing for several years to get a ship
subsidy bill through Congress, and they
don’t seem to be any nearer success
than when the first ship subsidy bill
was introduced. The Impression is
strong that the subsidy method would
simply build up another great trust,
that the people would be taxed for the
support of another giant combination.
And then it is practically certain that
it would be found that the subsidies
provided at the outset wouldn't be suf
ficient to accomplish the object aimed
at, and that other and greater sub
sidies would have to be voted to make
the method a success, If it ever could
be made a success. The chances are
that the enriching of a.few capitalists
is the only thing the subsidy method
would accomplish. We might have fast
lines of steamers to two or three Eu
ropean ports, but not great fleets of
steamers carrying the nation’s com
merce to and from all parts of the
world.
Shipping men who have studied the
shipping question and congressmen who
are interesting themselves in it seem
to regard With favor the method of
discriminating duties. By discriminat
ing import and tonnage duties the na
tion’s merchant marine was built up
in the early days of the republic, and
it seems reasonable that the Same
method would be successful now.
It is true we are (bound by treaties
and conventions with about all nations
to make no discrimination against for
eign ships In import and tonnage du
ties, but It is provided in these treaties
and conventions that they can be abro
gated by one year's notice. Of course
there would be a tremendous outcry
by nations which are now doing our
foreign carrying trade. They would
threaten retaliation probably, but, as
some of our public men have said in
discussing this subject, if they submit
without retaliation to the Dlngley tar
iff rates they would probably submit
without retaliation to discriminating
Import and tonage duties.
The discrimination would not have to
be so great as to seriously impair our
custom receipts or to be intolerably
burdensome to foreign ships. It should
be Just sufficient to Insure the ship
ment of American imports and exports
In ships carrying the American flag.
If the policy of discriminating du
ties were adopted it is certain that it
wouldn’t be long before American ship
yards would be busy. There would be
such competition in shipbuilding that it
is probable that ships would be built
as cheaply In American as foreign
yards.
WANT TO LIVE 100 YEARS!
Statistics go to show that the aver
age of human life In becoming longer
year after year; that, in the language
of Insurance people, the “expectation”
of life is higher now than ever before,
with a tendency towards Improve
ment. Should the improvement con
tinue in the present ratio, towards the
conclusion of the next century peo
ple 100 years old will not be uncom
mon. The Insurance Press publishes
a table showing the death rates In
some fifty Anerloan cities, compared
with the rates of the same cities ten
years ago. In almost every Instance
the rate shows a decided falling off.
The average ten years ago was about
20 deaths per year to each 1,000 of
population. The average now Is a lit
tle over 18 per 1,000. The causes re
sulting In this better condition are
many, of course, but in all probability
the principal one# aro a better un
derstanding of hygiene and sanitation,
1n connection Kh the sdvance made
in the science of tnedteal practice.
The Insurance Press, going soms
whei into details with respect to dis
eases, says that the average number
of deaths from consumption In New
Ougleu.d lUea 4u IMMA per ot
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1904.
population, was 307; in 1900 it was
only 214. In cities in the Middle States,
the deaths from consumption averaged
314 In 1890; in 1900 only 234. In cities
in the Lake States the record was 178
in 1890; 142 In 1900. In cities in the
Southern stales the consumption death
rate was 316 in 1890; 252 in 1900. In
cities in the Western Central states
no Improvement is recorded. In those
cities there were 178 consumption
deaths, per 100,000 population, in 1890,
and a precisely equal number in 1900.
Pneumonia is claiming more victims
Instead of fewer. Some diminution is
noticed in the death rate from typhoid
fever, but the mortality from that
cause has varied greatly, in different
cities, in different years, due to epi
demic outbreaks of greater or less se
verity. The death rates from diph
theria and croup have diminished, but
not systematically and continuously.
The mortality from pneumonia, can
cer, heart disease, apoplexy, diseases
of the kidney and other diseases of
old age have increased. But this is
for the very satisfactory reason that
more persons attain the higher ages.
REMOVAL OF THE NEGRO HOSPI
TAL.
The agitation for the removal of the
Ceorgla Infirmary, the hospital for ne
groes, one of the ancient institutions
of the city, from its present location,
has resulted in the crystalization of
public sentiment that it shall no longer
be permitted to obstruct the growth of
the southern section of the city. There
is, however, another reason why the
institution should be removed. It is
this: It is too far away from the
homes of the negroes.
When the infirmary was established
on its present site, only a part of which
is now its property, it was more than
a mile from the built up part of the
city, and it was seldom used, for the
reason that the negroes were well
taken care of by their owners. Con
ditions have changed, and the infirm
ary is now the only place to which
ill or injured negroes in need of spe
cial attention can be taken. Hence,
it should be closer than it is to the sec
tion in which the greater part of the
negroes have their homes. A a it is,
if a negro suffering from illness at his
home is ordered to the hospital, he
has to be taken a mile or two.
The most densely populated part of
the negro section Is on the extreme
western edge of the city, and it is to
that locality the infirmary should be
removed, because it is needed oftener
there than elsewhere.
The city is as interested in the In
firmary as much as its trustees are,
if not more, as It is its duty to make
provision for its support, just as It
makes provision for the support of the
hospital for white people. It could
well afford to be liberal in dealing with
the question of the infirmary's re
moval.
It should purchase the present site
at its full market value, and should
see to It that another hospital, In a
more convenient section of the city, is
erected. r .. 1
There should be no dickering about
the price of the infirmary's property.
Whatever the land is worth should be
paid for if, and the new hospital should
be a great improvement upon the pres
ent one. even if the city has to con
tribute something towards it. And
the inducements of a better hospital and
a better locat'on. from the standpoint
of convenience, should be strong ar
guments with the hospital trustees in
favor of a removal of the present in
stitution.
During the hey-day ot Populism that
party had no more prominent or in
fluential spokeeman than the atten
uated, bewhiskered Peffer ot Kansas.
He sat high in the party councils, and
took all of the government patronage
that chanced to be lying around with
in reach. He is alleged to have placed
about every member of his family on
the government pay rolls. In clerk
ships or other positions, and to have
made a considerable lot of money out
of his single-hearted patriotism. Pef
fer, who is now back in the Republican
party, has lately broken into the pub
lic prints with an Interview on the re
cent election in which he advises all
former Populists to become Republi
cans and stand loyally by the party.
Asa matter of fact all Populists who
are like Peffer. and regard the gov
ernment as a "good thing,” to be
"worked for all it is worth,” ought to
be in the Republican party. But those
who think that the government's basic
principle should be equal opportunities
for ail and special privilege* for none
will Quit their rainbow-chasing and
adhere to the only "party of the peo
ple" that there is in this country.
The Philadelphia Press (Rep.) com
menting on the outcome of the elec
tion, wants to know “why should not
the South have joined in this national
movement?” To which the Record of
the same city replies: ”No one is
more capable of answering the ques
tion than the Press itself; for no Re
publican organ in the land has been
more industrious in stirring the ashes
ot sectionalism bv Its denunciations of
the Southern states for putting re
strictions upon ignorant negro suf
frage and by its threats of limiting
Southern representation In Congress
and the electoral college. In the very
issue wh'ch contains this inflated par
tisan appeal to the South Is an edi
torial paragraph repeating the menace
of an attack upon Southern represen
tation." Republican organs, like the
Press, delight In slapping the South In
the tool and at the name time profess
to fall of understanding why the South
has no klndlv feeling for the Republi
can party.
An English scientist has discovered
that rays of light are emitted from

The severe storm of a few days ago
played havoc with telegraph and tele
phone wires along the coast from
Maryland northward. To a very great
extent business was interfered with for
two days or more. How long will the
commercial interests of the country be
willing to suffer isolation from corre
spondents in other cities than their
own every time a wind of more
than usual velocity blows? The
losses Incident upon the interrup
tion of communication caused by
the Btorm must have amounted to
many thousands of dollars, and the re
pairs made necessary by the damage
must have amounted to other thou
sands of dollars. And incidents of the
kind occur year after year. Will not
the demand for the putting of wires
under ground become so strong after
a while that it will have to be grant
ed? It would, of course, be imprac
tical to put all of the minor wires un
der ground, ibut it seems that the tele
graph and telephone companies would
find it a matter of economy to insure
the continuity of service between the
great commercial centers by burying
the wires connecting them.
The country continues to remain on
the tenter-hooks of anxiety with re
spect to how the recent election re
sulted. Neither James K. Jones of Ar
kansas, nor Charles H. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, has yet been heard from on the
subject. Mr. Jones, it will be recalled,
never concedes anything, and Gen.
Grosvenor -always claims everything.
But when neither of them utters a
word, as in the present instance, the
country is left groping and disconso
late.

orthodox, point of view, they appear
much bigger and better men than they
probably would if we got too close to
them.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: “Mr. Watson is entirely cor
rect; the Populists should get together
and use their own party name. They
have no business masquerading as
Democrats, and those who profess to
be Democrats are in honor bound to
promote the interests of the Democ
racy and not those of Populism. Mr.
Watson's political and economic views
are nearly all wrong, and most of his
facts are fictions; but on the point of
political honor he Is entirely sound.
If there be Socialists or Populists, let
them have their own party and not
try to sneak into power under tho
name and flag of some other party.’*
The Louisville Courier-Journal
(Dem.) says: “Governor-elect Douglas
of Massachusetts, says of his success
ful campaign: “I told our people that
Massachusetts put {6 In the protection
pool for every dollar it took out: that
our 650,000 homes contributed 165,000,-
000 a year to the tru te; that the steel
trust alone reaps {80,000,000 a year out
of protection, and pockets It, selling
abroad cheaper than we can buy from
It. And yet they have the assurance to
tell us the trust question has nothing
to do with the tariff.' The people of
Massachusetts seem to have voted for
both the man who told them that they
were being robbed and for the men
who are robbing them.’*
The Columbia IS. C.) State says:
“If the advice of Mr. Harvle Jordan
of Georgia could be carried Into effect,
the farmers would within a short time
be offered 12 cents per pound for the
cotton they held, but then If they all
offered to sell the prices would Imme
diately take a precipitous tumble. The
farmers should not attempt to 'hold
up' the manufacturers, but they should
be prepared to resist the holding up
process by the manufacturers and
speculators. To succeed there must

is that giving profit to producer and
weaver, an even market having the
Iwsst fluctuation. The farmers will,
we dare say, be eatlefled to sell their
cotton for 10 oents per pound for all
time and the manufacturers can af
ford to pay that much. That result
may be brought about only with the
cordial, earnast support of Uie oulUmi

The Geographical Baby.
The baby sat In his buggy with an
Afghan made of Saxony over his lap,
a Fez on his head, while his shoes of
Morocco pepped out from the cover
ings, says the Baltimore American.
Under his buggy was a Smyrna rug,
while his tippet of Astrakhan lay close
by. A faint odor of Cologne emanat
ed from his garments as he waved
his hands at a reflection of himself in
the French mirror. This reflection the
baby regarded as a cousin German of
himself, and, as a true Bohemian, he
offered to share his bottle with the
other baby.
His underclothes were of Egyptian
wool, his dress of India linen, his ker
chief of China silk: the fur on his
stormooat was of Thibet, while a Japa
nese chrysanthemum and a Siberian
crabapple lay just out of his reach.
The lace on his gown was Irish
point, his socks were of Spanish me
rino.
His mother was finishing her dinner
of Sicilian olives and Turkey, of which
she would give the baby none on ac
count of the Greece, while the father
was somewhere hitting Scotch and
soda, Swiss cheese and English wal
nuts. The goldfish near by showed
their Finns, and the Poles of the globe
in the corner were distinctly visible.
At length the mother returned, in
her Russian Blue Paris gown trimmed
in Valenciennes, her breath fragrant
with Russian tea, telling the baby he
had been a regular Spartan for wait
ing so patiently while she had been
Roman elsewhere, and declaring she
would never let another Dago by with
out getting him a Canary; that she had
promised it to him, honest Injun, and
didn’t want him to think she was a
Welsher.
Then she gave him a Brazil nut and
a piece of tamale flavored with Chili
sauce, declared she was colder than
Greenland, called the colored attend
ant a Hottentot and tipped him with
a Canada dime, murmured something
derogatory to Dutch treats and started
home.
On the way she stopped and ordered
some Brussels sprouts and the mate
rial for a Spanish stew, sampled some
cream of Tartar and hustled on.
And yet she expects that child to
grow up a loyal American.
Our Great Country.
In a Pullman c'ar a pleasant old gen
tleman came and settled himself oppo
site Robert Edeson.
‘T beg your pardon,” affably began
the former. “I always take the liberty
to approach my fellow travelers. I

I am not one,*’ smiled the actor, who
seemed to regret the circumstance be
cause 'the spirit of the other was so
loyal.
The old gentleman put him at ease
"It doesn’t matter. Have you no
ticed that we are traversing a very
beautiful stretch of country?"
“Charming."
“I Judge you to be a German, like
myself.” *
"1? No, no!”
“Of course, you enjoy traveling?”
"For a change, yes.”
"Quite so. I judge you to be a
Frenchman, like myself.”
"I am not.”
The actor began to marvel secretly
and frowned in order not to smile at
the racial discrepancies of his com
panion.
“Did you vote?” pursued the old gen
man, imperturbably. '
"Oh, yes.”
“I thought as much. Like myself, I
judged you to be a public spirited citi
zen, being an Irishman. lam one.”
“I am not an Irishman,” laughed
Edeson, outright. B

The old gentleman eagerly extended
his hand.
"Shake! I knew we were brothers.
I have Scotch and Spanish in me, too
Say, this is a great nation, isn’t it?”
There Were No Profits.
“Pa,” said the speculator's son, ac
cording -to an exchange, ”1 want some
money for a little speculation.”
"I am pleased, my boy,” returned the
father, as he fished a sovereign from
his pocket, "to see that you 'are tak
ing an Interest in the business af
fairs of life. Now, I won't ask you
what this speculation is, tout I will
go halves with you on it. I will fur
nish the money and you engineer the
business, and we will go halves on the
profits. Of course, if there are none, I
lose my money and you your time.”
’’All sight, pa. I’ll make the invest
ment to-day and report progress to
morrow.”
The next evening, when the father
returned home, he inquired about the
"deal.”
“No good!” was the sententious re
mark of the youth.
“No good?” exclaimed the old man
ir. surprise.
”Yes, no good,” replied the boy.
Never saw such a decline In stocks In
my life. Shrunk quite out of sight

a "® ut :,, for heaven’s sake, Georgle,

"Theater tickets for last night’s per

The old man thought very hard for
a time’ and then expressed himself to
the effect that the boy was fitted for
a company promoter rather than a
speculator.
Reminiscent of Senator Hoar.
Private John Allen was reminded of
Senator Hoar's cross-examination of
Dan Houser, of Helena, when the leg
ality of Senator Clark’s election was
being Investigated by the committee
on privileges and elections, says an
Exchange. Mr. Houser testified that
Mr. Clark consulted with him prev
ious to the campaign, and Inquired
whether In Mr. Houser's Judgment he
had any prospects of election, says W
E. Curtis, In Philadelphia Press. Mr’
Houser replied that there would be
no difficulty If Mr. Clark would loosen
up.”
“Wl/at’s that,” asked Senator Hoar.
*T said he could be elected all right
If he'd loosen up,” repeated Mr. Hous
er.
”1 do not understand you,” said Mr
Hoar.
"He did," said Mr. Houser.
“That was more important,” retorted
Mr. Hoar. “I suppose that loosen up
Is some occult mining term **
"Not a bit of It.” said Houser. “It’s
a flnanefal phrase of wide and deep
significance.” • ’
“And what did you want him to loos
en up?” persisted Mr. Hoar.
"His dough, of course. I wanted him
to loosen up his dough.”
"Did he do It?" suggested the senator

customer went in the other day for
dinner. After receiving his order the
waitress handed him a newspaper to

elapse before dinner was served. He

HOW TO STORE KNOWLEDGE.
From the Address by Dr. P. H. Pye-
Smlth at the Opening of the Medi
cal Faculty of the University of
Birmingham. England.
Learn to use your senses, be quick
to notice any changes in the house
you live in, or in the clouds and sky,
open your eyes to sights of birds and
insects as you walk, your ears to their
songs, and your heart and intellect to
the impressions of nature. Look as
w r ell as see. listen as well as hear,
touch as well as feel. Practice judg
ing distances and making allowance
for different kinds of illumination,
learn to detect the optical and sensory
fallacies of which you read in books
on mental physiology. Exercise not
only your muscles, but your power of
discriminating weights. Cultivate
walking and make it a pleasure as well
as a convenience. Take every oppor
tunity of learning any bodily exercise,
whether riding or swimming, rowing or
sailing, and whatever you do do it,
as Fox said he did, “with all your re
sources at the time.” Learn, as you
may very well without being artists,
to draw sufficiently to explain your
meaning. Never waste time over
worthless literature, and in order to be
sure what is good read chiefly that
which has withstood devouring time
and remains to us as the carefully
winnowed and approved result of the
imagination, the wisdom and the wit
of past centuries. Beware of preju
dices, prejudices of your profession,
prejudices of your education, prejudices
of your country. Remember that all
that you think of England, and which
you rightly ought to think, is also
thought by French and Germans and
Americans and Hungarians and Chi
nese concerning their own country;
the strength of its inhabitants, the
beauty of its women, the courage of
its soldiers, and its excellence in all
the arts and refinements of life.
RE EEII OLD LAW.
From the Pittsburg Gazette.
In the code of laws passed by the
towns of Windsor, Hartford and Weth
ersfield in the year 1738-39 may be
found the following on tobacco chew
ing:
"Forasmuch as it is observed that
many abuses are crept in and commit
ted by the frequent taking of tobacko,
it is ordered by the authority of this
court that no person under the age of
twenty-one years nor any other that
hath not already accustomed himselfe
to the use thereof shall take any to
bacco until hee hath bought a certifi
cate under the hands of someone who
are approved for knowledge and skill
in physicks that it is useful for him,
and also that hee hath received a ly
cense from the courts for the same.
“And for the regulating of those who
either by theire former taking it have,
to theire apprehensions, made it nec
essary to them or upon due advice are
to the use thereof, it is or
dered that no man within this colonye
after the publication hereof shall take
any tobacko publiquely in the streets,
highways Or any barnyards or upon
training days, in any open places, un
der the penalty of sixpence for each
offence against this order in any of the
particulars thereof, to bee paid with
out gainsaying, uppon conviction by
the testimony of one witness—that !
without just exception—before any one
magistrate.
"And the constables in the several
towns are required to make present
ment to each particular court of such
as they do understand and can con
vict to be transgressors of this order.”
SOUNDS HARD TO IMITATE.
From the Baltimore Herald.
"That man can imitate perfectly the
Jingle of money,” said, In a tone of
eulogy, a young woman.
“Well, what of that?" objected her
companion. “That ought not to be
hard to do.”
"Try to do it.”
The objector, after summoning Into
his mind the sound of jingling money,
tried. “R-r-r-tat-tat,” he went. "Br
br-bra-ra-ra. Chk-chk-chk.” Then he
smiled apologetically, for he had failed.
Not by the furthest stretch of the im
agination could it be said that he had
uttered a sound that resembled money's
Jingle in the least degree.
"I knew you couldn’t do it,” said the
ypung woman. “It is amazing how
many simple sounds there that we
can’t imitate, try as we will. There is,
for instance, the sound of a person
walking, the sound of a typewriting
machine in operation, the sound of run
ning water, the sound of a breaking
dish. You can’t imitate those common
place noises, and I doubt if anyone in
the world dan. Our vocal capacity
seems to us large, but it is really lim
ited enough—as limited as many ani
mals, and muoh more limited than cer
tain birds. That is why I honor a man
who has extended his vocal Capacity
sufficiently to Imitate the pleasant, sil
very sound of money’s jingle.”
LIVELY YOUNG ALFONSO.
From the London Chronicle.
There is a grave crisis in the history
of Spanish etiquette. King Alfonso
XIII, who is described by a French
Journal as ‘‘impulsive, and at the same
time ‘sporty,” wishes to make a royal
progress through his kingdom in an
automobile. Horror of the Prime Min
ister! Such a vehicle, says he, is be
neath the dignity of a monarch to
whom the constitution has intrusted
the “sumptuous car of the state." The
sumptuous car must not be driven by
petrol. Horses are still harnessed to
the chariot of the sun.
But Spanish etiquette does not pre
vent the monarch from 1 traveling by
railway. Lady Currie tells a story of
a young man who jumped into a com
partment one day on an English train
and started a conversation with an old
lady who greatly admired his pleas
ant manners. When he was alighting
she asked his name, and he answered,
blithely, “Alfonso.” He was Alfonso
XIII. then a cadet at Sandhurst. The
anecdote probably will be read at Mad
rid with pain and Incredulity.
TIIE TIP IN POMPEII.
From the London Chronicle.
The necessity of tipping with a lav
ish hand Is strongly enforced in a res
taurant near the station at Pompeii.
In a prominent position is placed a
gaudily framed sketch of the interior
of the dining-room, with two clients
taking their departure. One of them,
a cowed-looking individual, is strug
gling into his overcoat, while two
waiters stand near him, the one smil
ing derisively at the other, who dis
plays a tiny coin with a gesture df
fierce contempt. On the opposite side
of the room a guest Is seen, surround
ed by three waiters, one helping him
with his coat, another brushing his
hat, the third bowing obsequiously and
holding his walking stick. The moral
is obvious, but allowance is made for
the proverbial obtuseness of northern
nations, and underneath the picture Is
Inscribed, in large letters, “The Results
of Benevolence.”
