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 an election bet the other day by walk ing through the streets drawing nour ishment from a sucking bottle. It was a fool bet, of course. But what could have been expected of a man named “J. Reginald?" It seems there is in Texas a big re ward offered by somebody for a sure way 'to exterminate the cotton boll wee vil. Why don’t they give the weevil the Republican nomination for Gover nor of the state? 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.

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 game when I quit ushering and mar ried you.’ ” “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." Oas on Postmaster Moarral Wynne. During the trial of the postal graft ers R. J. Wynne was violently attack ed In court by the Attorney General of Maryland, who said that tho As sistant Postmaster General was a "high roller," who lived on canvosbaek duck and green peae. The President, who read the speech, asked Wynne what he was going to do about this assertion regarding his epicurean diet *1 have concluded." gravely answered Wynne, to cut eut the yeas." 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. PAPER WEDDING PARTY. Chicago Telegram to the Philadelphia Inquirer. A paper-gowned bride and a bride groom wearing a suit of paper cut aft er the conventional full dress pattern, were the principals at a wedding cele bration this evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. L.

It cannot really Be doubted that there are various species of birds whose mar riages extend over a far greated period than that merely of the nesting sea son. l4>ng before the nesting season begins one sees the goldfinches In psirs; lon* after it has ended one sees tbs blue Unifies in pairs.
