A SANE VIEW.
The New Tork Sun prints an extract
from a letter received from a man of
business in the South and makes some
particularly sound comments upon it
This Southern business man says:
“The Democracy is dead, especially
that of the South,” and proceeds to
say that until sectional lines no longer
exist the South need not expect as
sistance from Washington for the im
provement of her waterways or a
share of the appropriations for pubilo
buildings or protection for her sugar
or other industries.
The Sun’s comment is that the
Southern Democracy was no more de
feated than the Northern Democracy,
and that there are about twice as
many Democrats in the North as there
are in the South, that the Democracy
this year polled about as many votes
as it did in 1896 and 1900, and about
1,000,000 more than it did in 1892 when
was a Democratic landslide. As
for assistance from Washington, the
Sun points out that the South has
generally got a pretty good share of
the rivers and harbors and public
building appropriations and been tak
en care of in the tariff legislation
about as well as the North whether
the complexion of the administration
was Democratic or Republican, all of
which is true.
There is no particular reason, there
fore, as far as we can see for such
nonsense as that expressed in the let
ter of a business man of the South,
an extract of which was printed by
the Sun. From some of the things said
to have emanated from Southern men
since the election, relative to the fu
ture of the South and the Democratic
party, the impression might be drawn
that neither the South nor the Dem
ocratic party have any future. It is
some satisfaction to know, however,
that these men do not speak for the
South, and it is a mistake, therefore,
for the Northern papers to comment
on what they say as if they did.
Of course the South wanted the De
mocracy to win, and did what she
could to have It win, but she doesn’t
see only blackness and despair in the
future because it didn’t. The mate
rial condition of her people is better
than ever it was and she is confident
that victory will perch upon the ban
ners of the party that has her confi
dence sometime, it may be in the very
near future. In the meantime she will
have her share of the benefits the gov
ernment has to bestow. We venture to
say she would take it as a kindness
if the Northern papers wouldn’t insist
that the few of her citizens who write
hysterical letters to them are her real
representatives.
BISHOP POTTER’S SALOON IDEA.
Notwithstanding the storm of adverse
criticism with which Bishop Potter’s
Subway Tavern scheme was received
by ministers of the gospel and many
other good church people, announce
ment Is made now and then of a con
vert of prominence to it. On Thurs
day Right Rev. Bishop Cortland White
head of Pittsburg, Pa., expressed him
self as being very much in favor of it,
and he called on the moneyed men of
that city to establish drinking places
similar to it.
Bishop Whitehead is of the opinion
that such refortners as Carrie Nation
should be suppressed, and that there
are many other temperance reformers
who, though zealous in the temperance
cause, do much more harm than good.
According to his view most of the
harm in drinking places comes from
the practice of treating. If that prac
tice were abolished there would at
once be a marked decline in drunkness
and In the amount of intoxicants con
sumed.
In the course of his remarks. Bishop
Whitehead said: “We all admire
Bishop Potter as a man who has the
courage of his convictions, and I cer
tainly think that if Pittsburg capital
ists would unite in the establishments
of drinking places where there would
be no treating, where the line would
be drawn between malt and spirituous
liquors and where there would be no
temptation to get drunk, it might be
a step in the right direction.” Further
along in his talk he said. "The chil
dren should be brought up with the
proper idea of this question. They
shouldn't be taught that to take a
drink is a wicked thing, for they will
find out differently; but they should be
taught that there Is temperance in all
things, even In reform.”
Bishop Potter thinks such a reform
can be wrought In drinking places as
to make them comparatively harm
less. Such places are to be found, for
Instance, in Copenhagen. In the course
of an address which he made last week
at Cooper Union, New York city,
Bishop Potter said: "I do not believe
In the smallest degree that the doc
trine of prohibition, wherever it has
been presented, has produced anything
else than hypocrisy. I do believe it
is entirely possible to persuade ra
tional human beings of the peril of
Intemperance and that Is the only rule
for curing It.”
Of course. Bishop Potter doesn’t
mean to be understood that those who
advocate prohibition are hypocrite. He
simply means to say that the doctrine
of prohibition produces hypocrisy, and
there is, no doubt, a great deal of
truth In this view. The Subway Tav
ven, to which he gave encouragement
when It was opened, has not proved to
be all he hoped It would, for the rea
son that the promoters of It were more
concerned in making money than In
advancing the cause of temperance;
and also because the advocates of strict
prohibition have done lall they could
to break It down.
But, doesn’t It seem as If the prohi
bitionists ought to b willing to give
his pr.rn for lessening the saloon evil
a fair chance? They have been try.
Ing their way for many years without
much success. That ought to convince
them that In regard to the drink ques
tion they are not endowed with all
of the wisdom. Besides, they ought
to be willing to ’admit that the re
formers along the line advocated by
Bishop Potter are just an honest a*
they are In their endeavor to lessen
the peril of drink. If rite bishops
plan should fail after being given a
fair trial, it would then be time enough
to condemn It. This is a fact well worth
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 20. 1901.
noticing, n'amely, that drunkenness
among the soldiers in the army has
greatly increased since the canteen
was abolished, and the leading army
offioers in their reports recommend that
it be restored.
Here in this state local option has
done a grdat deal towards lessening
the drink evil, much more, there Is
reason to believe, than if a prohibition
law had been enacted instead of the
local option measure. With two bish
ops of the prominence of Bishops Pot
ter and Whitehead advocating temper
ance by means of education there is
reason for thinking that that method
of dealing with the drink evil will
steadily gain friends.
Jl'IXiE TAFT’S MISSION.
Judge Taft is on his way to Panama
to adjust the differences which have
cropped out between the natives and
our rulers of the canal zone, and to
nip in the bud, as it were, the revolu
tion, signs of which have been appar
ent for several weeks. The fact that
he is the War Minister of the govern
ment and carries with him a pretty big
company of senators and their wives
is expected to have a favorable im
pression upon the Panamans. The be
lief is gaining ground in Washington
that before many months Panama will
be a little province of the United
States. On what this belief is based
doesn't appear. It is thought, however,
that annexation is the Inevitable out
oome of the condition of affairs exist
ing on the Isthmus. It is said there
would have been a revolution before
the election if United States gunboats
had not been placed in such a position
os to convey a warning to keep the
peace.
It is not probable that a revolution
would amount to a great deal, because
we have troops enough on the isthmus
to put a stop to any disturbance
quickly, and there is no doubt there
would be no hesitation to use the
blue jackets to restrain the fiery Im
petuosity ot Panama patriots who are
eager to get their hands on the $lO,-
000,000 which this country paid for
canal concessions.
For a while the United States will
hold up the infant republic for the
sake of appearances, but the condi
tions are bound to be such that, long
before the canal is completed, it will
be to the best Interest of all parties
for the United States to annex the
infant republic. It is practically cer
tain that the republic will make little
or no progress as a separate state. Its
people are not of the progressive kind.
THE SHOEMAKER OF BROCKTON.
Some of the admirers of William L.
Douglas, the shoe manufacturer of
Brockton, who was elected Governor of
Massachusetts by about 36,000 major
ity, although the state Is Republican
and gave Roosevelt a majority of 86,-
000, are so jubilent over his success
that, if they are to be believed, he is
the man who is to lead the Democratic
party to victory in 1908. They are call
ing him the second Lincoln, and are
saying that as Lincoln saved the
Union, so Douglas will emancipate the
nation from the grasp of the tariff
barons. In their opinion he Is a man
who Is able to get Into touch with
what is In the minds and hearts of
the people, and at the same time can
think so clearly as to be a safe leader.
There is no doubt that Mr. Douglas
won a notable victory, 'but it doesn’t
follow that he Is qualified to lead in a
great national contest. He may have
the ability for such leadership, but it
remains to be proved that he has. As
far as known he is simply a shrewd
business man. He believed that if the
people were informed in regard to reci
procity with Canada and some other
phases of the tariff question they
would support a tariff reform candi
date. He, therefore, spent money free
ly advertising his reciprocity views,
spending as much as $35,000 in that
way. And he talked to the people—
chiefly the wage-earners with whom
he is popular, because he sympathizes
with them. Although he is one of the
largest manufacturers in Massachu
setts he has never had a strike in
his factory. The results of his efforts
surprised both him and his friends.
Republican leaders In Massachusetts,
however, say that the question of reci
procity with Canada played but an in
significant piart In the campaign; that
the real reason of Mr. Douglas’ suc
cess was the unpopularity of Gov.
Bates, the Republican candidate. No
doubt Gov. Bates is unpopular with his
party, but the dislike of the Republi
cans for their own candidate doesn’t
fully account for the victory which Mr.
Douglas won. It may account for
some of the Republican votes he re
ceived, j>ut the fact that he turned a
Republican majority of 86,000 for Mr.
Roosevelt to a majority of 36,000 for
himself must be taken Into account
There wasn't 60,000 or more Republi
cans who were dissatisfied with Gov.
Bates.
There is no objection to talking about
Mr. Douglas In connection with the
Democratic nomination in 1908, but the
chances are that he and his phenome
nal victory will have passed pAoti
cally out at the public mind before
the time comes for selecting a candi
date for the next presidential contest.
THE NAN PATTERSON CASE.
The interest In the Nan Patterson
case scents to be strong In ail parts
of the country. There have been oth
er murder cases, more mysterious and
fuller of tragic features, that have not
attracted half so much notice.
it Is because she is described as a
very handsome woman, probably, that
all the world Is reading accounts of
her trial. It seems she is taking an
active part In the selection of the Jury.
It was satd she would have as Jurors
only men having eyes of a certain
color. She has authorized a denial of
that story. Hhe admits, however, that
she has asked her lawyers to reject
all talesmen who cannot look her
squarely In the eyes. When a tales
man Is being examined she places her
self in a position from which she cun
look Into his face. If he meets her
gose fairly and squarely she seems
to be satisfied with him, and is willing
to accept him.
The Mats must have evldenoe which
it hasn’t given to the publio or it
wouldn’t take the care it Is showing
In the preliminary stages of the trial.
The impression seems to be that the
defendant will be acquitted easily
since, according to newspaper stories,
at least two men have come forward
prepared to testify that Ceasar Young,
the man who was killed, shot himself.
It is probable that the trial will be
concluded this week.
One of the biggest blow-outs ever
witnessed in Washington will occur on
March 4 next, in connection with the
inauguration. It. hasn’t been a hun
dred ytfars since a successful candidate
for President rode horse-back down
the avenue, hitched his horse to a
sapling and took the oath of office in
Democratic simplicity. But the Roose
velt inauguration is to be nothing of
the kind. Arrangements are being
made for one of the most elaborate mili
tary disprays ever seen on this con
tinent in connection with a civil func
tion, when Col. Roosevelt takes the
oath. Both the regular army and the
militia of neighboring states are to
be called on to furnish some thousands
of soldiers to give the strenuous Pres
ident a proper setting, while he swears
allegiance to the constitution.
Statistics of the world’s savings
banks deposits show that Japan, with
considerably less population than the
United States, has something more
than 100,000 more depositors in the
bank savings departments. Thus it ap
pears that the Japanese are more
thrifty than the Americans. But while
there are more Japanese depositors
than American, the American savings
amount to $3,061,178,611, against $40,-
887,186 for the Japanese, showing that
the Americans are much more prosper
ous and wealthy.
J. Reginald Burton of Brooklyn paid

PERSONAL.
From ragpicker to United States
senator is a pretty big Jump, and yet
that is just what the new senator from
Massachusetts has made. Not "rag
picker" exactly as we might under
stand it, but almost that. His grand
father, Zilnas Crane, founded a small
paper mill at Dalton, in the western
part of Massachusetts, and his father,
also Zilnas, succeeded to the business.
When Murray Crane was 17 years old
he left the public schools to take a
place in the mill, beginning at the low
est place, that of ragpicker.
A story has been going the rounds
of how Henry Gassaway Davis was
once startled out of a dream while he
was a member of the United States
Senate. Senator Thurman rose to
speak and began his remarks by blow
ing his nose loudly a couple of times.
Mr. Davis was thinking of the days
of long ago when he was 'a brake
man on the road and when he heard
the “down brakes” signal from Thur
man’s handkerchief he at once came
to life and began wildly to twist a vol
ume of the Record around on his desk
thinking it Was a brake wheel.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Pittsburg Post (Dem.) says: “A
great impediment to the prospective
growth of socialism in the United
States will be the power, the education
and the political training of the Dem
ocratic party. It is anti-socialist from
its Inception, especially In the South
ern and the agricultural states. In
some of the New England manufactur
ing states and in the great cities it is
making Its greatest headway at this
time. The subject is an Interesting one
for political speculation at this time,
and its developments may be aston
ishing or they may be dangerous.”
The Raleigh News and Observer
(Dem.) says: "The Philadelphia pa
pers are engaged in their biennial
business of showing the tremendous
election frauds regularly practiced In
that city. The Philadelphia Record
says one ward with a total registra
tion of 777 had 675 fraudulent regis
trations. It says further that ‘a
chicken coop and a dog kennel were
given as places of residence for fifteen
voters,* and Intimates that chickens,
dogs and fleas were voted. And Phil
adelphia is virtuously Indignant be
cause the South denies the ballot to
ignorant negroes. If the Philadelphia
crowd controlled In the South every
negro would vote five times and every
time for the Republican candidates.”
The Columbia State (Dem.) says:
"A one-party system ts not productive
of statesmen. Yet the attitude of the
North is such that it precludes the
South's entering with greater inde
pendence into political contests. The
North Insists upon those conditions
which force the Southern whites to
stand as a unit. There is no escaping
from them. There are tens of thou
sands of white men In the South, good
white men, who believe in the prin
ciples for which the Republican party
stands, yet they ere never heard of.
If they vote, they vote the Democratic
ticket. Unfortunate as the condition
Is, unfortunate ae it ts felt to be by
many Democrats. It esists and the
Southern whites havs not tbs power to
fres themselves.*
Odd Checks.
A tom linen collar, & piece of Bath, a
tuff and a half dozen other odd ob
jects hung above a certain bank clerk's
desk In this city, says the Philadelphia
Press.
“My collection of queer checks," the
young man said. “Each of those
things is a check. Each was duly hon
ored. Each has a story.
"I have been collecting queer checks
for three years. That piece of lath
started me. A bank honored the lath
for $250. It was made Into a check
by the owner of a sawmill, who Was
out at the plant with his son, thirty
miles from any house and totally with
out paper, let alone a checkbook. The
money was needed to pay off the hands.
The sawmiller wrote on the lath just
what a check correctly drawn has on
it, and he sent his son in to the bank
to get the money and to explain. The
lath check was honored after some
discussion among the bank’s officers.
“The cuff check was drawn by an
actor who had become slightly intoxi
cated, gotten into a fight and been ar
rested. He was treated cavalierly in
his cell; they wouldn't give him any
paper, and he bribed a boy to take the
check to a bank. The boy got the
money, and with it the actor paid his
fine. Otherwise he’d have been Jailed
for ten days. Thus the cuff check
may be said to have saved a man from
prison.
“The check written on the linen col
lar won a bet of $5. A man bet a
woman that a check made on a col
ar would be cashed, and, of course,
he won his bet.
“Your bank, if you carry a good ac
count, will honor the most freaky
checks you can draw up. In suoh
monkey business, though I won’t en
courage you.”
Hard ou Junes.
The early morning sun came strag
gling into the suburban street and
pereing through the window-blinds of
Lavender Villa, says Tit-Bits.
It even violated the sanctuary of the
best bedroom of that establishment,
and there is discovered Jones, the
head of the household, very silently
and stealthily divesting himself of his
garments.
Conscious that the situation required
a little explanation, it promptly shone
on the eyelids of the slumbering Mrs.
Jones. She awoke.
She looked at her husband, glanced
at the clock, and then she spoke.
“Gracious me, John,” she exclaimed,
"what on earth are you getting up at
5 o’clock in the morning for?”
“Beg pardon, m'dear?” replied
Jones.
"Oh! um! yes,” answered J., grasp
ing the situation, and hurriedly pull
ing on his trousers again; “fact is,
m’dear, it’s such a lovely morning
that I thought I’d get up and weed
the garden.”
“Really!” cried his better half;
“well, you are a good boy,” and she
lay watching him with a smile of ap
probation while he painfully crawled
into the rest of his clothes.
The smile broadened into a positive
grin when, five minutes later, she
heard him at work outside, and then,
with a wink at the clock, she gave a
satisfied chuckle, murmured something
about “teaching him a lesson,” and
lapsed once more into slumber.
Gen. Lee’s Famous War Horse.
In "Recollections and Letters of
Gen. Robert E. Lee,” there Is much
about “Traveler,” the famous war
horse that carried the great Confed
erate general through all his cam
paigns. To an artist, who wanted to
paint the horse, Gen. Lee wrote:
“If I were an artist, like you, I
would draw a true picture of 'Trav
eller'—representing his fine propor
tions, muscular figure, deep chest and
short back, strong haunches, flat legs,
small head, broad forehead, delicate
ears, quick eye, small feet, and black
mane and tail. Such a picture would
inspire a poet, whose genius could then
depict his worth and describe his en
durance of toil, hunger, thirst, heat,
cold and the dangers and sufferings
through which he passed. He could
dilate upon his sagacity and affection,
and his invariably response to every
wish of his rider. He might even
imagine his thoughts, through the long
night marches and days of battle,
through which he has passed. But I
am no artist; I can only say he is a
Confederate Gray.”
Gen. Lee had the strongest affec
tion for "Traveller,” which he showed
on ail occasions. Once, after the war,
ho met the children riding an old horse.
He was on "Traveller.” One of the
children was just recovering from the
mumps, whereupon Gen. Lee play
fully said: ”1 hope you won’t give
’Traveller’ the mumps. What shall
I do if ‘Traveller’ has the mumps?”
John Liked the Hymns.
"You know, John was an usher at
our church when I met him,” said
Mrs. Dorcas, according to the New
York Press. “He looked so handsome
and well groomed as he led visitors
to seats in the center aisle that one
could not help falling in love with
him. As we went in John shook hands
with the ushers, some of whom were
Sunday-school boys when he was there.
He remained behind to talk with them,
while I went on to our pew. *
“When the first hymn was announc
ed John smiled, He was in good humor
all through the scriptural readings.
When the second hymn was announced
he became positively elated. All my
fears of his sleeping through the ser
mon vanished. He sang the closing
hymn as fervently as in the good old
days. As we came out the head usher
shook hands with John, and I saw John
tuck a bill into his waistcoat pocket.
“ ‘What is that?’ I asked not without
suspicion.
” ‘Ss-sh-sh, my dear. Wait until we
get in the car.’
“ ’What is It. John?* I asked a few
moments later.
“ "A fiver I cleaned up from the boys
on the number of the hymns,’ he re
plied, smilingly. ‘I was sls behind the

“No I'M,” He’s a Democrat.
Marinette has a presidential election
story that matches the reply of Quen
tin Roosevelt that the President voted
for Parker because Parker needed the
vote. One of the Garfield teachers was
questioning her pupils upon citizen
ship. says an exchange.
"Now,” she said, slowly, "as every
boy has ambition, I would like to know
how many boys would like to be Presi
dent of the United States?”
Every boy save one raised his hand.
The teacher looked in a surprised
manner at one little fellow whoss
hands remained in his lap.
“Why, Willie,” she exclaimed,
"haven't you any desire to become
President of this great country?"
“I’d like to. all right,” replied the
boy mournfully, “but ’taln’t no use; I’m
a Democrat."

SOUTH'S BRAINS AND DEEDS.
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The United States cannot get along
without the South and her splendid
sons. It was a Southerner that wrote
the Declaration of Independence and
framed the first measure abolishing
slavery. It was a Southerner who con
ducted the Revolution to a successful
issue. It was a South Carolinian who
drew the framework of our immortal
constitution that was adopted and fol
lowed by the Colonial Convention. It
was a Virginian that promulgated the
Monroe doctrine. It was another Vir
ginian, about a hundred years ago,
who announced the cardinal principles
of civil ser vice reform.
It was a Kentuckian who originated
and fathered protection the cardinal
principle of the Republican party—in
this country. It was a Southerner who
added to the republic the great em
pire of the West embraced in the
Louisiana purchase. It was a Ten
nesseean who smashed the British at
New Orleans and crowned the war of
ISI2 with success. It was a military
genius of the South that won the Mex
ican War. It was a Southern who
marked out the Gulf Stream and
brought about the establishment of the
Naval Academy. It was a Kentuckian
who guided the ship of state through
the War of Secession and freed the
slaves.
It was a Tennesseean who command
ed the Federal fleets during the Civil
War and became one of the three ad
mirals the country has had. It was a
Southerner who was in command of
the fleet at Santiago that destroyed the
naval power of Spain. Instances might
be multiplied of the genius, the enter
prise and the valor of the sons of the
South; but we have named enough to
prove that the country cannot do with
out the South.
MOTOR CARS HYPNOTIZE BIRDS.
From the Chicago Journal.
The motor sucked the road up at the
rate of fifty miles an hour, and to
the novice at the chauffeur’s side the
world seemed to comprise three lines—
two black lines, where were the for
ests on either hand, and one white
line, which was the highway.
Suddenly—plop— something like a
soft football struck the novice in the
face. He gasped, and the chauffeur
shouted above the roaring wind:
"A chicken. You want to look out
for them.”
Then, when the car had slowed down
a little, the chauffeur explained:
"A speeding car seems to hypnotize
some chickens. They stand in the
middle of the road till it is almost on
them; then they rise up and fly
straight into your face. I suppose, in
the past year, I have collided in this
manner with fully fifty chickens. Do
you see this scar under my eye? Well,
its the mark of a chicken’s claw.
“A motor car's lights at night hyp
notize birds, too. In the country, If
your lamps are powerful, you will oft
en hear as you speed along a soft, un
pleasant sound, followed by a little
squeak. That sound marks the collis
ion of a bird’s body with one of your
lamps. Such a collision kills the bird,
and often it leaves on the lamps ugly
smears of blood.”
GAVE BURGLAR A NICKEL.
As Isador Nathan, who keeps a small
jewelry store at No. 92 Newark ave
nue, Jersey City, was closing up last
night a young man entered.
"I want some Jewelry,” he said, "and
I ain’t going to pay for it either,"
pointing a revolver at Nathan.
“I’m a poor man,” said Nathan,
looking down the barrel of the re
volver; “please don’t rob me.”
"I’m hungry and must eat,” was the
man’s answer.
"Here is a nickel, all I have,” said
Nathan, passing over the coin.
The man picked it up. put the re
volver back in his pocket and. thank
ing the Jeweler, started to walk out.
Policeman Foley happened along and
Nathan shouted "Police!”
The man with the revolver said he
was Joseph Farrell, Just in from Chi
cago.
”1 intended to make a big haul,” he
said at the Gregory street police sta
tion, "but when I saw the Jeweler
shaking like a leaf, I lost my nerve.
I knew I would have to kill him to
get awav with anything.” The re
volver was loaded with 44 calibre car
ridges.
Nathan got back.
WOMAN, 134, SMOKES PIPE.
From the New York Herald.
Philadelphia, Pa.. Nov. 13.—Mrs.
Mary McDonald, an inmate of the
Home for Aged and Infirm Colored
Persons, to-day celebrated her 134th
birthday. It was not much of a cele
bration, for the aged woman is con
fined to her bed, but she enjoyed it.
Mrs. McDonald is an Inveterate user
of tobacco, and she filled and lighted
her little black pipe to-day and looked
on her 134th birthday through olouds
of smoke. Worn by the years through
which she has passed, Mrs. McDonald
Is scarcely more than three feet high
and weighs about seventy pounds.
She lost her eyesight two years ago,
but her memory is still remarkably
strong on events of long ago. Things
that happened recently she cannot re
call so well.
The year of Mrs. McDonald’s birth Is
on record as 1770.
AS THEY DO IN RUSSIA.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The methods of the Russian govern
ment have been brought home an a
New York woman in a curious manner.
Last August she sent a Bible to friends
in Warsaw through a firm of local
bankers. Nothing was heard from the
Bible until to-day, when the firm re
ceived a letter from their Bremen for
warding agents, In which It was stated
that the Bible had been confiscated
by the Russian government. About
the most curious part of the whole
business is the fact that the Russian
censor charged a fee of 91 cents for
confiscating the book. This feo In
cludes goth duty and censor fees. The
bankers believe that the seizure was
due to the fact that the Bible was not
the authorized Bible of the Greek
Church, which is the Russian notional
religion.
