The indications for Georgia for to day are for rain, with increasing south east winds; Eastern Florida fair wea ther, with fresh southeast winds. At this season of the year every one is willing to admit the desirability of an elastic currency. The old French proverb, "Cherchez la femme,” does not fit the Chadwick case. In this instance it is. Search for the man. Miss Bertha Krupp’s income of $2,- 400,000 a year ought to enabe her to buy any sort of automobile, nobleman and bonnet that she may desire. There Is probably not a “popular” magazine In the country but would give Mrs. Chadwick a good price for an article explaining her system of frenzied finance. Should President Roosevelt accept half of the invitations to visit South ern cities that are being extended to him it would take him a month or more to get around the circuit. The New York newspapers continue to plume themselves and their munic ipality upon the fact that Richard Canfield was fined SI,OOO for keeping a gambling house in that city. The Innocent creatures! We have had that sort of thing in this section for years. The Russian fleet in Port Arthur is said to have represented an invest ment of upwards of $50,000,000. If re ports are to be credited, the Japanese have come pretty near to knocking it into Junk. The American-built ship Retvlzan seems to have been about as vulnerable as any of her consorts. Several of Venezuela’s custom houses are being administered by foreign gov ernments that have liens on the cus toms receipts. The Venezuelan govern ment, however. Is reported to be ar ranging to establish custom houses at other ports, and will thus divert the re ceipts from the ports that are In the hands of the creditors. It Ip by such tricks that ths Hpanish-Arnerleen re publics keen themselves In hot water. The etatement of a Connecticut doctor, that he believes the diphtheria germ to be the anti-toxin of cerebro spinal meningitis, seems to open the way for the query, is It possible that tor every dlaoaae there Is another dis ease that is Its counter-agent?

Mr. Brown is a native of Alabama, a graduate of Harvard and was a lecturer on American his tory of that university. His nativity, training and broad mindedness have rendered him peculiarly fitted to a con servative study of the subject of eco nomic conditions at the South. He has lately made an extended trip through this section for the purpose of inquir ing especially into those conditions. His tour extended from Virginia to Texas, through practically all of the cotton belt. What he saw and learned convinced him that a great and mo mentous change is quietly taking place in the basis of the entire industrial system of the South. “The white peril,” as Mr. Brown sees it, threatens the negro. Reduced to its lowest terms, it means that the white race is pushing the black race out of its position of advantage as the mainstay of labor In the South. There are noted two movements of population, an exodus and an immigration. There is a steady move ment of negroes from the country to the towns and to the North, and at the same time there is a fairly steady, and apparently increasing, inflow of whites into the country districts. The gain of whites from without is not as large as that of some of the Northern and Western states, but it is persistent and of a character that is likely to add to the permanent population. Farmers from the North and West are continually moving in and settling on lands that were formerly cultivated by negroes. And the lands, under white cultivation, are proving more produc tive than ever before. The complaint is common that the negro, as a farm hand, is deteriorating. Nor is this all. It is harder and harder to bind him to any sort of service for a considera ble and profitable length of time. This latter statement Is true of the cities as well as of the country, and white men in ever increasing numbers are being found to do the work that was formerly done exclusively by ne groes; and they invariably do it bet ter. Domestic service seems to of fer about the only exception, but abundant fault is being found with the negro as a domestic servant and it is by no means certain that the negro’s practical monopoly in that line will be long continued. The negro has failed to establish himself in the new industries of the South. He is not to be found in the cotton factories. He has been tried in several such factories and has failed in every instance to prove himself a satisfactory operative. The same is true of the tobacco factories. Wher ever there is machinery to be handled the negro has failed to measure up to the requirements of efficient service. As common laborers, too, the negroes have lost ground. They have been re placed on many of the New Orleans docks by white men from Southern Eu rope, and several of the lines of Mis sissippi steamers have replaced their negro roustabouts with Italians. The proportion of negroes employed as truckmen, draymen, teamsters, rail road workers, fishermen, oystermen, engineers, firemen, barbers, launderers, carpenters and masons is said to have been shown by the census reports to be much smaller in 1900 than in 1890. In this city it is to be noticed that white persons are now employed in lines of gainful occupation that were formerly monopolized by negroes. Fif teen years or so ago the barbers, wait ers, bootblacks and hackmen were practically all black. Now a fair pro portion of such workers are white and the number of them is steadily increas ing. It is Mr. Brown’s belief that the change that Is taking place in Indus trial conditions is not only an In vasion by the white race of the field formerly occupied by the black race, but also indicates an increase in the demanded standard of efficiency, which the negro has not met. The negro’s future, therefore, depends upon him self and his industry. If he would survive he must meet the fierce compe tition to which he is being subjected. He must demonstrate by work—hard and intelligent work—that he is worthy of a place in the economic scheme of things. “The white man whom the ne gro has to fear is no longer the man who would force him to work. It is the man who would take work away from him. The danger, the immedi ate menace, is rivalry rather than op pression." ELECTRICITY VS. STEAM. For a number of years the predic tion has been frequently made that electricity would eventually replace steam as the motive power of trunk line railroads. Many practical engin eers are still of this opinion, basing It on the changes that have been made in suburban transportation since the perfection of the electrical trolley. Still, the time does not seem to be close at hand when the steam locomo tives will be sent to the scrap heap. They are abundantly in evidence now, and are doing good service; and the railroads are building more and more of them. Meanwhile some of the great railway systems are making progress in exper iments with electricity as an adjunct to steam. The New York Central Rail road a few days ago tested one of the seventy electric locomotives that it has ordered to hundle its passenger traffic into and out of New York city. This sample electric machine devel oped a speed of sixty miles an hour with nine heavy sleeping cars, and in one spurt run at the rata of seventy miles an hour. In a brush with the regular st earn “flyer” of the road, the electric machine mude considerably greater speed than the steam machine. The Hartford and New Haven road la aald lo be preparing (o follow the lead of Ihe New York Optra! In (he adoption of electric apparelue for haul ing its paaaenger trains from a subur ban point tuts and out of New York city. In the nourae of a few years It g noeslMe that ••!< IrlHtv will tie oeeJ SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. DECEMBER 12. 1904. for the propulsion of through trains and not merely to haul them out of town, where a steam engine will be coupled on. But the future of electrical traction depends upon the cheapening of the motive power. At present steam pow er must be converted Into electricity before it can be used in locomotives. As is very well known, every time power is converted from one form to another, it suffers considerable loss. The steam locomotive is a direct-act ing machine; the electrical locomotive is a machine the power for which must be converted one, two or three times, with accompanying loss of en ergy, before it becomes available. Un der existing conditions, therefore, the steam locomotive Is the more economi cal. But the day may not be far dis tant when water power will be made available for railroad energy; then we may expect to see a fight to a finish between steam and electric locomo tives. ITALIANS FOlt THE SOUTH. It is understood that the Italian am bassador at Washington, Sig. Mayor des Planches, Is devoting himself to the task of turning the tide of Italian immigration from the North and East into the South. The ambassador be lieves, and no doubt correctly, that it would be better for his countrymen who come to the United States from agricultural districts in Italy to seek the South rather than to stop in the crowded cities of the North and East or the coal mines or railroad camps of the Middle West He has gathered statistics which show that the vast majority of the Italian immigrants are from agricultural communities. That they do not seek to become farm la borers or If arm owners when they reach America Is due to the fact that they are very poor and must begin earning money at once to provide for their immediate wants. Their urgent necessities drive them Into the ac ceptance of the first work they can find at any wages they can get. Ambassador des Planches is sure that, with the proper sort of encour agement, a considerable percentage of these incoming Italians could be di verted to the South, with profit to the immigrants and as well to the South ern section. During several seasons past the South has lacked for farm laborers, and in the cities the servant problem has bepome more or less acute. The ambassador feels that a reasonable influx of Italian immigra tion would remedy these conditions, and might indeed help In the solution of the race problem. Recently some tens of thousands of Italians, from the ag ricultural districts of Southern Italy, have settled in Louisiana. They are said to have prospered and become good citizens. They become small farmers, buying their lands on time and paying for them from the results of their crops. They have engaged In cotton and rice planting. All of the members of the family work in the fields, and there Is no trouble experi enced by them In either cultivating or harvesting the crops. They are frugal and energetic, and some families that have been in the state three years have already paid for their lands. Some time in January the ambassa dor purposes visiting the South to see what he can do in the matter of plac ing more of his countrymen in this section. He will visit the Carolina*, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas for the purpose of ascertaining the prices of lands, the area of lands available for settlement by Immigrants and how the immigra tion of agricultural Italians would be regarded by the people of the states named, AN ALL-NIGHT BANK. An Innovation that is to be tried in New York is an all-night bank. All hours, both day and night, will be “banking hours” with it. Its doors will never be closed, and relays of clerks, cashiers and tellers will be ready at all times to transact busi ness. It will be situated In tihe heart of the hotel and theater district, through which the great night crowds surge and where emergency needs for money are apt to be most felt. It seems rather strange that an in stitution of this kind has not been established before, in the great city with its Immense floating population. But night emergency demands for money are not peculiar to New York. They occur in every city. And when ever a man, with a bank account, finds himself unexpectedly short of money after “banking hours” he must de pend upon finding some personal or business friend who is willing to cash his check for him, or else must bor row of a friend to tide him over until morning, if such accommodating per son can be found. And there can be no doubt that much indiscreet borrow ing and lending results from the ln abality to do business with banks of evenings and nights. It is the custom of a very great many, probably a majority, of em ploye™ of labor to pay off their help late in the afternoon, after the day's work is done. In the pockets of too many workingmen the pay envelopes are both heavy and hot, hence they are depleted before "banking hours" ar rive after pay day. The all-night bank will afford an opportunity for such workers to put their wuges away and save them, and to remove from them selves the temptation to spend more than they can afford. The complexities of modern life make a large night population a necessity in every city, and the army of night workers and night travelers Is steadi ly becoming larger. Various other kinds of business have provided for the night people, hence It seems mere ly In the line of progress that the banking business should do so too. - *—o l —f - Mrs. Chadwicks "latest” photo graphs ars now a feature of the metro politan dallies, every day. The papers are apparently endeavor ing to catch iter In the pre dee prate that had the effect of hypnotising sedate hankers into opening their strong boxes to her and bidding her twig herself to gi! eh* The Washington Post says the South Is wrong in paying any attention what ever to Senator Platt of New York, Keifer of Ohio, Morrell of Pennsylvania and other disturbers of the peace, who are trying to gain a little notoriety by introducing into Congress bills to re duce the South's representation. “What perplexes us,” says the Post, “is the South’s simplicity in lending itself to this astounding comedy. The specta cle is touching enough. Here are cer tain Republican gentlemen who think It worth their while to broach a con troversy in which they have nothing to lose and everything to gain, but which would fall flat and expire of Inanition if no one noticed it.” The notice that the Southern men are taking of the thing is what gives it life. There is no more prospect of Platt's bill, or of Morrell’s bill, passing Congress than there is of the sky falling; and yet a whole lot of pother is being made about them. Platt’s power is broken, and nobody knows or cares anything about Morrell. The investigation into the charges against Federal Judge Swayne of Flor ida seems to have greatly strength ened the case against him. From the evidence and the report of the Con gressional Committee, it appears that Judge Swayne must have been under the Impression that a railroad thrown into a receivership under his jurisdic tion became, to all Intents and pur poses, his private property, in so far as making personal use of it was concerned. It furthermore ap pears that the judge did not keep very close tab on what It cost him to live, but charged the score to the government at the rate of 810 per day, whatever the waiters’ checks might have shown. All things considered, it looks at present as if the Judge would have to go. The republic of Colombia, before the secession of Panama, had issued a large amount of bonds that are still outstanding. The Colombian govern ment thinks that Panama should as sume responsibility for a considerable proportion of those bonds. Panama has replied to Colombia that she is willing to assume her proportion of this debt, based on relative popula tion. But Colombia don’t want to have it that way. She thinks that Panama, having received a large sum for the canal concession, and being sure of a considerable income In fu ture, should assume liability for and pay pretty nearly all of the bonds. Colombia has made an appeal to the President of the United States in the matter, but it is not likely that she will get a great deal of satisfaction. Representative Hay of Virginia ob jects to the use of the terms “minority party” and “majority party” in Con gress. “We are in the vocative now, and you are in the nominative,” said Mr. Hav in the course of a debate with a Republican member the other day. And that seems to be about the size of it. PERSONAL —Miss Henrietta Szold, of Endland, Is in New York, with the intention of taking the difficult training of a rabbi. She i9 the first woman to take -this course of studies in America. —Mrs. Susan Stringer Bennett, the only real Daughter of the Revolution in Kentucky, and probably the old est of sixty in the United States, has Just died at her home, in Livingston county, from old age. —Henry H.

BRIGHT BITS. “Yes,” said the tall tramp, "I told dat lady in de wayside cottage dat I was once a senator. She actually believed it.” “Great hobos!” exclaimed his chum of the ties. “In what way do you resemble a senator?” “Oh, I told her two or three after-dinner stores. Dey were so stale she said I must be a senator.”—Chicago Daily News. The teacher of a colored school here in Washington recently asked a pupil to go to the blackboard and write a sentence containing the word “delight.” Young Pinckney Jackson went pom pously to the front blackboard, and wrote In large, sprawling, uphill hand these words; “De win blowed so hard it put out de light.”—Washington Life. CIRREJiT COMMENT. The New York Evening Post (Ind.) says: “It Is a fair question, after all, whether it is not harder for a Chinese traveler to get Into the United States than it is for an American Jew to get Into Russia. Public affairs are full of such delightful inconsistencies! The President complains in his message because Russia does not issue pass ports to our Jews, yet a Chinaman can go through the eye of a needle almost as easily as he can pass through the port of San Francisco." The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says: “If Mr. Williams and Senator Bacon will go to their places In the National Congress and do all they can to main tain the full representation of the South and lend themselves to the main tenance of the Democratic party on Its old time principles and policies, they will go a long way toward pre venting a division of Southern politi cal sentiment and reconcile the people to the cheerful acceptance of what ever legislation radicalism may at this time have hi store for them. The new Congress may reduce Southern representation, but a later one may re store it. Let us get right and stay right, and then we will be safe against the Injury radicalism In either party inay do us.” The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says; ‘The spollsmongere In Congress, led by Grosvenor of Ohio, and Hep burn of lows, are at It again In their opposition to the civil service law. In stead. however, of manfully attacking the law their hostility exhibits Itself In paltry efforts to abolish or cut down the salaries of the members and offi cers of the Civil Hervics Commission, llut they overlook the fact that there are many competent and public-spirit rd men in the country who would per form the duties of the commission without salary, strange as this may appear to Cirosvstior, Hepburn and the other apollamongertng patriots. The only way lo restore the spoils system is to repeal the rlvtl sendee laws, and these pat riots are not quits strong i t, <„ do *• " Fed on Moonshine. Congressman John Sharp Williams asserts that Henry Watterson solemn ly warned him against saying any thing humorous, writes Julius Cham bers in the Brooklyn Eagle. “Be sol emn!” Watterson Is said to have ad vised. “Wrap a mantel of dignity about you and never let It slip off.” Col. Watterson’s advice reminds me of some very sage wisdom I heard the late Charles Nordhoff give to a young man who seriously contemplated going Into journalism. The youngster had taken a degree in college and came to Mr. Nordhoff with a letter of Intro duction. The aged editor, who began life as a sailor before the mast and never ef faced the glamor of that career, stud ied the boy a while and then said gravely: “I can only give you advice, because I do not hold an executive po sition and have no authority to make appointment. “But what I shall say to you is of great value, if you can understand it. Remejnber this; Every time you walk up Broadway and every time you walk down Broadway something happens that never has happened before and never will occur again. Discover it. See it. Describe it, and—and, well, if you do that your future is assured.” I heard this myself and didn’t know whether to smile or not. The young man went out profoundly impressed, and, I dare say, grateful. He had been handed out a bit of moonshine and nothing more. If a man who has to earn his living by writing could see what nobody else can behold and put it on paper as nobody else can, he would be a prod igy like Kipling or Hawthorne. Lift Ip Our Voice. A professor at the head of the de partment of music, in one of our col leges, asked a young man, not long ago, at a rehearsal, in which the whole college took part, why he did not join in the singing, says Success. “I cannot sing,” the young man an swered. “I have no voice.” “Shout, then,” replied the professor, “make a noice with the others, for we need it.” “I was studying once in Berlin,” he continued, to the students, “and we were drilled in some of the great ora torio choruses every noon by Herr H —, one of the finest directors in the world. I had never sung a note In my life, and refrained from taking part, because I was afraid of putting the others out of pitch. “After three rehearsals he came to me, saying; ‘Young man, why do you not sing?’ “ ‘Oh,’ I replied, ‘I cannot sing a note, and should only put the others out.' “ ‘Bah!’ returned the great man, 'in the chorus your voice will be grand. I have missed It already, and shall look for you at the next rehearsal.’ “So, you see,” he said, “that, when we work together, every one counts, and the man who does not take part is either over-modest or lazy, both very bad fraults.” An Ambiguous Answer. J. Sloat Fassett, the lawyer and cap italist of Elmira, who was at the Fifth Avenue a day or two ago, gives an il lustration of how good intentions thoughtlessly expressed may some times be wrongfully interpreted, says the New York Globe. “While waiting for a train In the Albany station a few weeks ago a man stepped up to the news stand where I happened to be customer. He appeared to be a regular customer. Picking up a 10-cent magazine, he began fumbling in his pockets for the money to pay for it when he discovered he was short of the necessary amount. “ ‘Oh, never mind; pay to-morrow,’ said the newsman, noting his custom ers' embarrassment. “ ‘But what if I should die before then?’ Inquired the other. “ ‘Oh, veil, it won’t be much of a loss,’ was the reply. “Well, the man actually took of fense at the remark, and slamming down the magazine, walked away.” He Shot the Fire In. A bright Pelham lad was given a dime the other day by a visitor to whom he had been exhibited as the pride of the household, says the Phil adelphia Record. The youngster promptly lost the coin under the bed In his room, and in searching for it with a lighted candle set fire to the bedding. He found the dime and went downstairs without saying a word about the conflagration. A few min utes later the head of the houae sniff ed suspiciously. “I smell smoke,” he remarked. "Something's burning." “It's my room,” admitted the youthful prodigy, “but,” he added reassuringly, with a flash of the brightness in which the family took so much pride, “the fire can't get out. I closed the door tight.” The fire department arrived in time to save the house. “llncl* Joe” Telia a Story, “Some of these Republicans are pret ty fierce for tariff revision," said Rep resentative Jacob Beidler of Ohio to Speaker Cannon to-day, according to the New York World. “Reminds me of a lady out In my town wiho met a little boy on the street one day,” said the speaker. “The boy was leading an ornery looking pup. The lady stopped and looked at the PUD. “ ‘ls he fierce?’ she asked. " ‘He’s the blankety-blankest fiercest pup you ever seen,' said the boy. ” ‘O,’ said the ladv, ‘I didn't want a fierce dog.’ ” ‘Well,’ replied the boy, ‘he ain’t so blankety - blanked blank - -blank - blank fierce.’ ” Pnaartl It Up. The wise old rat approached the tempting bit of cheese that hung from the top of a harmless looking structure made of wood and wire, says the Chi cago Tribune. As he did so he saw another rat ap proaching it from the opposite direc tion. He stopped. The other rat stopped also. He winked with his right eye. The other rat winked with the left eye. “Huh!” he said. “That settles It. It‘ a looking glass. I think I don’t want any cheese this time. What won't these Ingenious Yankees Invent next?” Thereupon he sniffed contemptuously and passed on. The Town Stood the Loss. While the engine was taking water the passenger with the imposing watchchaln and eyeglass strolled out on ths platform and looked with Inter est about him, says the Chicago Tribune. “Hr Jove!” he aald to the solitary native who was sitting on a flour bar rel. “Ihla village looks Just esactly ss it did twenty .tsars ago. when I moved away from here.
