The indications for Georgia for to day are for fair weather, with light to fresh southeast to south winds. East ern Florida, partly cloudy weather, with light to fresh northeast to east winds. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican is pleased by the report that the President will nominate Dr. Crum again for collector of the port of Charleston; not so much on account of either Crum or Charleston, but be cause it will put the matter ‘‘up to" the Senate. The Toronto World declines to take a sentimental view of the returning of the Ascoli cope to the Italian govern ment. It bluntly says: "For returning stolen property, J. Pierpont Morgan is to be knighted by the King of Italy. Buying stolen property will now be a favorite pastime among title-huntlhg Americans.” Why is it that Kansas men have such a penchant for burning their shirts for political purposes? An Em poria man is under pledge to burn his shirt on the State Capitol steps on Thanksgiving Day, as a consequence of an election bet. This recalls the fact that Assistant Secretary of War Mieklejohn, ulso of Kansas, made a flambeau of his night-shirt during the McKinley campaign for the glory and honor of his party. Dispatches from the West say that wheat Is going to be scarce and the prices high this winter. Already in several cities the price of bread has been advanced. Well, the people can eat corn and rice. There are no more tasty and nutritious cereals grown than these, and there are fifty ways of cooking each of them into palata ble dishes. It would probably be a good thing if more corn and rice and less wheat were oaten, anyway. "By the way," says the Norfolk Landmark, in commenting on an ob servation of the Morning Newa. "doea anybody know who was the Demo cratic candidate for Governor of Penn sylvania? Don’t look it up. but Juat answer from memory." It seams that the Joke Is on our esteemed contem porary. There wasn’t any candldats for Governor of Pennaylvanla In the recent general election. Pennsylvania atacted her Governor I’ennypacker two years ago. The man who ran against him was tbs lamented Robert E. Pat tlson, than whom there was no more high-minded md I eepec led Democrat In the countijr. THE SOUTH’S ALOOFNESS. If some of the Northern papers would do a little quiet thinking they would dis cover that there wasn't so much aloof ness in the South in the recent elec tion as they are trying to make out. It seems to give them profound pleas ure to make it appear that the South had no part in that election, that her people didn’t discuss the issues of the campaign and that the candi dates of only one party were voted for. For Instance, the Philadelphia Ledger says: "A disheartening feature of re cent American politics has been the continued aloofness of the South. In other parts of the country the people divide according to the opinions pre vailing 'at the time, and the parties contend for the mastery: the South has remained solid and immovable. In the recent election, when President Roosevelt may be said to have swept the country by popular acclamation, the Southern states alone maintained their attitude of dissent.” The New York World says: "Last week’s politi cal earthquake seems to have shaken the South into a thoughtful mood, and the result is an interesting variety of more or less novel reflections.” Let us flake up the comments of the Philadelphia paper, in W'hich it is stat ed that the South stood aloof In the recent election, and maintained an at titude of dissent to the action of the rest of the country. The inference from this is that there was no division of the vote in the South. Whatt are the facts? Here in Georgia, for in stance, was there not a more nearly even division of the vote than in Penn sylvania, the state in whieh the Phil adelphia Ledger is published? We do not know just what the vote for of the tickets in Pennsylvania was, but we know there was a very small vote for Parker and an enormous vote for Roosevelt. What was the vote here in Georgia? According to the best es timate obtainable at present it was as follows: Parker 88,331, Roosevelt 25,- 335, Watson 23,490. From these figures it appears that Mr. Roosevelt receiv ed not quite a quarter of the whole vote cast, that Watson received almost as large a vote and that Roosevelt and Watson together received not quite half of the vote. What we would like to know Is .this: Was Pennsylvania’s vote as well scat tered as was the vote of Georg.’a? In proportion to the vote cast didn’t Roosevelt get a larger part of the vote of Georgia than Parker got of the vote of Pennsylvania? We think he did, though we cannot say until the official figures are published. And we ven ture to stay that Watson got a larger proportion of the vote of Georgia than he did of the vote of Pennsylvania. And if the vote of each of the other Northern states is examined and com pared with that of Georgia, we think it will be found that the people of Geor gia divided in the recent election about the same extent as did those of most of the Northern states. We cannot speak for the other Southern states at present for the reason that their com plete returns have not been published yet. But Pennsylvania and Georgia fur nished sufficient data for the purpose we have in view, which Is to show that the Philadelphia Ledger and other Northern papers have been Indulging In comments respecting the attitude of the South in the recent election and criticising her for aloofness without taking the trouble to find out the facts. Surely it isn’t for such a hide-bound Republican state as Pennsylvania to criticise Georgia for not turning in and casting her vote for Roosevelt, simply because Pennsylvania and the other Northern states gave their elec toral votes to him. It is by no means certain that Roosevelt will make a better President .than Parker would, and, on that questldn, Georgia Is Just as well qualified to hold an opinion as Pennsylvania. It is true of course that, with the exception of one state, the South stood solid for Parker, but then didn’t the North stand solid for Roosevelt? Taking Georgia as a sam ple the Southern voters divided as be tween Roosevelt and Parker about as evenly as the voters of the North did, taking Pennsylvania as an indication as to how they voted. NECTBAU HKI.IMVt; THE RUSSIANS. The Japanese are complaining that the Baltic fleet of the Russians now on its way to the Far East is receiv ing assistance from neutral nations In the shape of coal at their ports. The rule of international law Is stated to be that belligerent vessels are entitled to receive at neutral ports only so much fuel as will enable them to reach the next port on their way home. When the Baltic fleet started on its journey the newspapers called atten tion to the difficulty that would be en countered in supplying It with coal. They pointed out that a great many coalers would have to accompany the warships, and that the coaling would have to be done at sea, a difficult thing, particularly in bad weather. It seems, however, that the Russian warships are getting all the coal they want at neutral ports. The ports of only one nation have refused them coal thus far. and that one is Italy. It Is stated that the war fleet got what coal It wanted at Cherburg, and also at Vigo. After leaving the lat ter port It divided, a part crossing the Mediterranean, while the other took the Cape of Good Hope route. It is reported that the latter was given a supply of coal at a French port on the West Coast of Africa, and that the other section was expecting to get a supply of coal at Port Said. Naturally the Japanese feel they are not being treated rightly by some of the neutral powers. If the rule of International law Is os we have stated It, then the Japanese have a right to complain. They may not be able to compel neutral nations to comply with the law, but it is certain they will not forget the fact that it was disregard ed at a time when it was Important to them that If should be respected. Japan is already a great power on the sea, and the time la likely to come when the nations that are now diare gelding the law may want her to re spect It. Mhe will be practically free to do as her interests direct In the SAVAXXATI MORXIXG XEWS: SATURDAY. XOVEMBER 19. 1904. matter. Then It may be that the na tions that are now lending Russia a helping hand while claiming to be ned tral will realize their mistake. THE PRESIDENT AND THE TARIFF. It has been announced in our dis patches that it is the purpose of the President to recommend to Congress reductions of the tariff. It is probable that some things cropped out during the campaign that w'arn him that un less his party takes hold of the ques tion of tariff revision in earnest, and makes such reductions as will be sat isfactory to the people, he will have trouble In the ranks of his party. There is no doubt that one of the reasons Mr. Douglas, the Democratic candidate for Governor in Massachu setts. was elected, was his strong and Intelligent presentation of the tariff is sue. He is a manufacturer of shoes, and there are phases of the tariff that are hurtful to his business. And he be lieves generally that the .high protective system Is hurtful to the country and burdensome to the working people, be cause it tends to put the wealth of the country into the possession of the great tariff-protected corporations and makes the cost of living higher. In the West there Is a very strong sentiment among Republicans as well •as Democrats in favor of lower tariff duties, and that fact is no doubt hav ing its effect upon the President. It is doubtful, however, if Congress will do anything in the direction of re ducing the tariff schedules. The great protected Interests have influence enough to prevent it. Asa malter of fact, the tariff-shel tefarl trusts prac tically own the Republican pfarty. In an interview In New York on Monday, Henry Watterson expressed the opinion that the protective tariff nfaintained by the Republican party is as great an oligarchlstn as slavery was, and that It may wreck that party as slavery wrecked the Democratic party in 1860. The trusts are not going to give up any of the protection they enjoy if they can help It, even though there is danger t)iat the protective system will wreck the party that maintains it. The President may recommend tariff ►changes, but his recommendation will not be heeded. A SOUTHERN MAN IN THE CABINET. It is stated that pressure is being brougt to bear upon the President to have him appoint a Southern man to a place in his new cabinet. The argu ment is made that the South Is going to break up politically and that the appointment of a Southern man would have the effect of bringing about bet ter relations between the South and the administration. Of course argu ments like these are being used by men who have axes to grind. They have a friend they want to get into the cabinet either because the friend wants the position or because they want him to have it for some purpose of their own. It is said that a Virginia man is seeking the place. We see no reason why he shouldn’t have it, but if he should be appointed he could hardly be called a real representative of the South. He wouldn’t be in sympathy with the people who control the South. It wouldn't be surprising, however, if the President should put a man from the South In his new cabinet. From many sources comes the statement that the President is anxious to con vince the Southern people that he is their friend, and that he has been misunderstood by them. Dispatches are going out from Washington, evi dently inspired by him or his advisers, that he Isn’t now nor has ever been in favor of social equality, and that all he claims is that the negro should have full liberty in the matter of edu cation and in seeking and holding em ployment. These things have never been denied the negro in the South, though he doesn’t have them at the North. Doubtless we shall hear many things as to the President’s attitude in regard to the South before he enters upon the term for which he has just been elect ed, but before accepting them it will be advisable to wait and see what he does. Our dispatches of yesterday con tained a summary of what purported to be the message of Gen. Stoessei, at Port Arthur, to the Czar, brought out by the torpedo boat destroyer Ras toropny, that was blown up and sunk at Chee Foo by her commander. The story of the destroyer’s perilous trip and tragic end, is to the efTect that she was ordered out of Port Arthur to bear a certain message to be trans mitted to the Czar, ,and that, having dispatched the message, her officers were to blow her up if necessary to prevent her from falling Into the hands of the enemy. Japanese torpedo boats appeared oft Chee Foo shortly after the Rastoropny entered that port, and she was blown up in accordance with instructions. Now, according to the news dispatches, the world is ask ed to believe that the message brought out from Port Arthur and delivered at such great expense was merely one of congratulation from Gen. Stoessei to the Czar on the recurrence of the anni versary of his accession to the throne, accompanied with the assurance that the garrison was loyal and determined to hold out to the bitter end. Is it likely that a crew would have been sent out on so hazardous a Journey, and that a destroyer would have been sacrificed, for so unimportant a pur pose? There were originally twelve destroyers at Port Arthur. Of these five are reported to have been sunk from one cause or another. The Ras toropny was the sixth to be sent to the bottom. Would the Russian commander have been apt to reduce his destroyer force by one-seventh merely for the purpose of sending the Csar a message of congratulation? The Inference that Is to be naturally drawn Is that the destroyer thnt was blown up at Chee Foo carried a much more Important message than that reported in the newa dispatches. In the classical language of (Thlcago the Tribune of that city advises ran didste# for senatorial honors to "Hold yar boss; Fairbanks hatn’t unbridled nut'll yet." New York state has a law which re quires that candidates for public office shall make a sworn statement, and file it with the Secretary of State, giv ing a detail statement of their election eering and election expenses. Govern or-elect Higgins' statement shows that his election cost him in round figures a bit more than $22,000. He was will ing to give up this great sum of mon ey for the honor of serving hie state two years as chief executive. This, it is said, is the greatest sum that has ever been expended by a candidate for Governor stnee the law went into ef fect. It is the understanding that Gen. John C. Black of Illinois has been selected by President Roosevelt as the successor of Commissioner Ware in the Pension Bureau. Gen. Black is known aa a “Gold Democrat” who voted for McKinley. He stands high in the councils of the Grand Army of the Republic. Gen. Black, however, is to take office only after March 4 next. Meanwhile the pension office is to be under the direction of James L. Davenport of New Hampshire. In Illinois the other day a young man of the name of McKane was sentenced to the penitentiary for life for murder. In addition to this he received a sentence of fifty years in the penitentiary for manslaughter in a different case. There is little hope for a man whose term of penal servi tude extends half a century beyond the grave.

CURRENT COMMENT. The Wilmington (N. C.) Star says: "The steadily advancing value of the securities of the Atlantic Coast Line in dicates confidence in the management of that system’s fine properties, as well as the substantial business yielded by a prosperous South to its various lines of paying railways.” The New Orleans States (Dem.) says: "The Socialist party, however, dif fers from the Populist party in the re spect that it possesses stronger ele ments of cohesion, hence it is not too much to say that it will in the next four years absorb what is left of the Populist organization." The Spartanburg (S. C.) Journal (Dem.) says: "A great deal is being said concerning President Roosevelt's attitude toward the South hereafter. The President's course toward this sec tion has never been hostile in our opin ion and we believe that the South will come to realize It within the next four years. Southern politicians vastly ex aggerate the race question and need lessly Inflame the people against the Republicans on account of It." The Louisville Courier-Journal says: "The Postofllce Department’s refusal to issue any more nonunemoratlve pos tage stamps Is to be commended. Those heretofore leaued have been nuloancee, as wall as artlstlcslly hideous. The regular series of stamps are bad enough: the commemorative series ars twice as bad because twice as large, and several time as bed because they attempt U taka the place at a picture gallery'." A Busiiart From New York. The New York Times tells the fol lowing good stories of men and things: Senator Stone of Missouri, while din ing with a party of friends a few nights ago in an uptown hotel, told this story after a concurrence of ideas among the party that there were fewer campaign lies told during this cam paign than any other they could re member. ’’The son of a friend of mine, a poli tician in Missouri, has a young and precocious boy who got interested In politics from hearing his father talk so much. They boy came to his father one day and asked: “ Pape, are all these things they say about you true?’ “ ‘No, my son, they are not; they are campaign lies.’ “I thought so,’ was the little boy’s reply, ‘and I nailed every one of them.’ “ ‘How did you nail them?* “ ‘Why, I cut them all out and nail ed them to the trees In front of the house! Isn’t that whafl they mean by nailing a campaign lie?’ ” Col. Robert A. Pinkerton was talk ing about old times in Chicago. "I used to know a man there who was an ardent gambler,” he said. “He lost his week's wages regularly in ‘Dinner Pail’ Hankins’ game. "One Saturday evening the man started home, via the gambling house, as usual. A spasm of reform had struck Chicago and the place had been pulled. The man tried to enter the door, but failed. He walked out into the street and gazed up inquiringly at the closed windows. “Then he walked back to the door, tried It again, but It would not open, so he drew his pay envelope form his pocket, shoved It under the door and walked calmly down the street.” Dr. Abbott, of the English Depart ment at Columbia University, used to rock back and forth In his swinging desk chair as he talked to hls auditors, but he has been cured of that habit,” said one who attended his classes last year. “It was this way.” he said. “One member of his class on com position handed In. as his weekly theme, an exposition on ’disagreeable sounds.’ In its application this was a vivid description of a man addicted to this rocking habit who once, while addressing an audience, found himself In a chntr that squeaked. The dis tress of the audience was so cleverly pictured in the theme that the doctor singled It out to read to the class. "Singularly enough the doctor was, while reading, rocking back and forth In a chair the metal parts of which badly needed oil. He had not pro ceeded far in the reading, however, when it dawned upon him that he him self was the subject of the writer and that he was at that moment very apt ly guilty of causing the kind of distress complained of In the writing. "His comments on the theme were delivered while standing, and now he never rocks while speaking to a class.” Didn’t Have to Remove His Arms. Congressman W. H. Jackson of Maryland, was arguing that the con versational delivery of speech was as effective with an intelligent audience as the declamation of a man whose brilliant periods are always accompa nied by arm-swinging. “You are right,” said a listener, “and your statement reminds me of a young lady who had two suitors. Both men had about the same advantages and prospects, but gossip declared that the girl would decide in favor of the man who was a lawyer, for he knew better how to present and win his case, but gossip erred: the lawyer was rejected. Later It was learned from a friend in whom the betrothed had confided the reason for her choice. ‘Harry is convincing, but John is just as convincing and does not have to remove his arms ev ery time he wants to say something.’ ” The Boy’s Obloquy. In the schools of a Connecticut town measures were recently taken to test the children’s eyesight, says the Bal timore Herald. As the doctor finished each school he gave the principal a list of the pupils whose eyes needed attention, and requested him to notify the children’s parents to that effect. One night, soon after the opening of the fall term, a little hoy came home and gave his father the following note, duly signed by the principal: "Mr. : Dear Sir —It becomes my duty to inform you that your son shows decided indications of astigma tism, and his case is one that should be attended to without delay.” The next day the father sent the fol lowing answer: "Dear Sir; Whip it out of him. truly, .” The Kaiser’s Son Took the Hint. While the Crown Prince of Germany was a student at the gymnasium at Heidelberg he lost heavily one even ing at cards, and on applying to his royal father for reimbursement he received the required number of bank notes bound together like a book. Later, after another disastrous game, he wrote the Emperor: “I have finished the interesting book you sent me, and am impatiently awaiting the second volume." In answer to this the Emperor sent another book of hank notes, similar to the first except that on the cover he had ■ inscribed "Volume Second and Last.” The Crown Prince took the hint and Indulged in no more games of chance. Notes In tlie Case. What she wrote, according to Tit- Bits: "Dear Fred: As you are aware, I shall marry Mr. Gotrox this coming week. Will you kindly burn all the little notes I have sent you? I shall do so with yours. Good by. Ethel." What he wrote: "Dear Miss Ethel: Tour request Shall be compiled with. And, by the way, your affianced also holds a few notes of mine that I wish you would prevail upon him to let you burn with the rest. Ever your friend, Fred.” The Common Things.

GTE ST AT SWELL WEDDING. From the Chicago Tribune. New York, Nov. 15—While the last preparations were going on in the res idence of Thomas E. Stillman, the mil lionaire lawyer, of 9 East Seventy eighth street, for the wedding of his daughter, Miss Mary E. Stillman, to Edward S. Harkness, to-day, a rickety old farm wagon, occupied by a white haired negro mammy and a wee pick aninny, drawn by a horse whose bones almost broke through its mud-colored hide, clattered from Fifth avenue into Seventy-eighth street and halted be fore the Stillman doorway. Down the stoop and across the side walk an awning had been erected. Un derneath a width of soft carpet had been laid. Around the entrance uni formed policemen and detectives stood as a guard against curious loiterers. As the strange vehicle drew up be side the curb the old negro woman rose to her feet, handed the reins to the little boy at her side, and began to smooth out the wrinkles in the gor geous velvet gown she wore. As she patted her finery two policemen dart ed forward. The first to reach her said, “Move on." Then he moved for ward toward the horse as if he would lead It away. "Yo, jes' let dat hawse ’lone, mister,” retorted mammy. Before the copper had time to think the old negro had made a leap to the velvet carpet and grabbed his coat tail. "But you can’t stop here, auntie," he said. “Can’t stop hyah? Who can’t?” she snorted. “Shucks, chile, you go ’way fum hyah.” jjßut” —began the officer. 4i “Now, now,” droned the old woman, “doan you reckon I knows what I wants? Heh?” “Tommy,” she said to the small boy in the wagon, “you take good keer o' dat wagln till grannie come back." Without more ado, still shooing off the policemen, she marched up the car peted steps and opened the front door. A liveried servant got in the way here, but his objections were no more suc cessful than those of the policemen. “Doan kou tlnk I knows what I wants?” she repeated. “I'se gwine to see my honey Alissy before she gets married. J’se.” The first liveried servant called an other. The negress shooed both of them a wav. About that time Mr. Stillman, hear ing the commotion, hurried to the door. ’’Why, it’s Aunt Celia,” he said. “Sure, ’tis, honey,” cried the old woman. "I’se des came to de weddin’ an’ dere’s a lettle present out der in der wagon fer Missy.” The policemen, detectives, (butlers and footmen retired, defeated, as the lawyer ordered the door opened to the guest—“ Celia Johnson, dat’s mah name," as she described herself—who was the family servant of the Still mans for thirty years, until the bride's father bought her a farm over Jersey The present in the "wagin’’ was a huge pumpkin. THE FATAL FANGS) A ROMANCE, From the New York Sun. The Sun received last night this painful tale of the truse cause of the lameness of , prima donna: She is a native of Salt Lake City, and last year spent her summer vaca tion with a party of friends on an overland trip on horseback from that city down through the Rocky Moun tains by trail into New Mexico. While passing through the Mora valley, the party met one evening Jim Hayes ** * nephew of the famous Wild Bill, a well-known scout, con temporaneous with ’Buffalo Bill’ in his palmy days. Hayes was so charm ed by the remarkable ease with which Miss handled her horse that he presented her with two rattlesnake skins as a souvenir of the meeting. “On returning to this city, Miss had the skins made into garters of the circular kind. But a fatal mistake was made in not removing the fangs from the head of one of the snakes. This snake, or rather garter, Miss wore on her right limb last Tuesday, on her way to rehearsal. In getting off a Broadway car, she fell to the ground. This caused a tremendous shock, but above it all the prima don na felt a sharp pain like that of a nee dle, enter her body below the knee. In vestigation showed a tiny drop of blood oozing from the injured spot. Her experiences in the West revealed the truth to her Immediately and, un clasping the offending hose supporter, she found In the head of the viper the fatal fangs. "Fortunately, however, she was ac companied by , the basso profundo of the company, who has spent some time in Florida on his houseboat, and who is one of the few men that the Seminole Indians have allowed to see their sacred corn dance. From his familiarity with these abo rigines, he became acquainted with their method of treating a snake bite. He was carrying with him at the time a portion of the snakeroot which these Indians use to cure this poison. Coolly and calmly he applied this root according to the method of the In dians.

From the New York Sun. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 13. —A request was mailed to Judge Alton B. Parker yesterday from Ellis county, Kansas, which he probably will not grant. Eight years ago Dudley township, in Haskell county, was the only town ship in the United States that gave Palmer and Buckner a majority. When Judge Buckner heard of this he ship ped a Jug of whisky to the voters of the township, which was drunk at a big barbecue in celebrating the event. This year Ellis is the only county in Kansas which gave Judge Parker a majority. A majority of the voters of Ellis are Russians and they voted the Democratic ticket, because they be lieved the powers at Washington are in sympathy with Japan in the Far East war. To test Judge Parker’s generosity they have asked him to emulate the example of Judge Buck ner and send the Pussians of Ellis county a cask of whisky. If the whisky comes the rails county Russians will kill a dozen beeves and Invite the people of the county to a barbecue. NORTH STAR NEVER CHANGES. From an Exchange. The pole star is really the most im portant of the stars In the sky. It marks the north at all times. It alone is fixed In the heavens. All the other stars seem to swing around it once In twenty-four hours. But the pole star of Polaris Is not a very bright one, and It would be hard to Identify, but for the help of the so-called pointers in the Big Dip per or Great Bear. The outer rim of the dipper points nearly to Polaris, at a distance equal to three times the ejface that separates the two stars of the dipper's outer side. Various Indians call the pole star the "home star" and *'the star that never moves." and the dipper they call the "broken back," The Great Bear is also to be remem bered h* the pointers for another rea son It I* the hour hand of the wood man's clock. It goes once around the north star In about twenty-four hours, the reverse way of the hands of a watch -that la. It goes the tame way aa the tun and for the kune reason that It Is the earth that to going and leaving tb-m behind. Peculiar To Itself In what it is an/, what it does—con. taining the best blood-purifying, alterative and tonic substances and effecting the most radical and per manent cures of all humors and all eruptions, relieving weak, tired, languid feelings, and building up the whole system—is true only of Hood's Sarsaparilla No other medicine acts like it; no other medicine has done so much real, substantial good, no other medicine has restored health and strength at so little cost. “I was troubled with scrofula and cams Bear losing my eyesight.
