Col. William Jennings Bryan is re
ported to have purchased recently a
massive white marble punch bowl thj)t
once rested on the sideboard of Thomas
Jefferson, the third President of the
United State*. Possibly when Col.
Bryan has brewed a brew in this bowl,
and partaken thereof plentifully, his
writings will be more Jeffersonian
than ever before.
A British court has held that a

may be a gentleman In fact, the court
said, but he cannot be one in law, be
cause under the terms of the law a
gentleman does not work for his liv

chant with an Income of £50,000 a
year is a "tradesman," while the man
of neither trade nor profession who
has an Independent income of £SO a
year is a "gentleman," for court pur
poaes.
Gov. Brady of Alaska asks for “an
influx of good New England girls"
into that territory. It is the common
belief that New England has a consid
erable excess of girls, some of uncer

advantage. But before the New Eng
land girl* arc gathered up and ship
ped out of the country to any of our
"possessions" it would not be a bad
idea to see how we stand at home,
statistics show, as a matter of fact,
that we are somewhat short of girls

MrU Of UMe,
PROVTY TO THF. RAILROADS.
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Prouty is quoted as saying in Chicago
a day or two ago that "there will be
either government ownership or gov
ernment regulation of the railroads."
Further along in his interview he is
quoted as saying: "If the railroads do
not want government ownership they
will cease their opposition to the
President's plan for preventing the en
forcement of rates which are unrea
sonable."
It is hardly probable that Mr. Prou
ty's deliverance will impress the pres
idents and other officials of railroads
greatly. There is no doubt, of course,
that he is very much in earnest apd
very sincere, and it is certain that it
is his judgment that something is going
to happen if the railroads don’t cease
making discriminating rates—that is,
if they don’t stop making unequal
rates —but it is hardly probable that
he is in a position to forecast what is
going to happen if the advice of the
commission of which he is a member—
that advice being, in effect, the Presi
dent’s plan—isn’t accepted by the rail
roads.
Asa matter of fact, there isn’t the
remotest probability that the railroads
will agree that the Interstate Coih
merce Commission shall make rates for
them. They do not hesitate: to say as
much. It is apparent .they think they
have just about as muoh.inflijejige With
Congress as the President has. In that
opinion, howervdr, they may*flnd them
selves mistaken. That the rates of the
railroads on interstate commerce are
very unjust there isn't any" doubt—at
least there isn’t any doubt if pub
lished statements contain the truth.
The big shippers practically dictate to
the railroads what their rates
shall be. The small shippers cannot
do this, and, hence, the big shippers
run them out of business. That is a
condition of affairs that the country
isn’t gonig to stand forever.
The indications are that the Presi
dent is going to press his plan on
the attention of Congress. The rail
roads haven't determined what course
they will pursue. The trunk line pres
idents are to have a meeting soon for
the purpose of mapping out a plan of
action. The impression is that they
will appoint a very select committee
to go to Washington and remain there
as long as there is danger of legisla
tion against the interests of the rail
roads. Mr. Prouty’s forecast may come
true, but not immediately.
THE SWAYSE CASE.
The action of the House in deciding
to impeach Judge Swayne of the
Northern Florida district, in view of
the report of the committee which has
charge of his case, is not a surprise.
The committee has gone into the case
pretty thoroughly. It has faken testi
mony in Florida and Washington, and
it is probable that it has got about all
the facts there are to be had, either
for or against him.
It seems the committee was divided
as to the grounds of impeachment. One
part of it thought he ought to be im
peached for accepting a railroad car
of a road in the' hands of *a receiver
appointed by himself for a trip to the
Pacific coast. Another part of the
committee thought he ought to be Im
peached for charging $lO per day for
his expenses when on his circuit, his
actual expenses being, it is claimed,
much less thfan that amount.
There has been complaint against
Judge Swayne for a long time In Flori
da, and it seems there was reason for
it. Whether or not the Senate will
think he is guilty of the charges that
have been nrfade against him, it is, of
course, impossible to say. No-doubt he
will have more to say in his defense
than he had during the taking of the
testimony by the committee.
He doesn’t seem to have made many
friends In Florida. The fact is, he
doesn’t appear to Wave spent any more
time there than he could possibly help.
That is one of the reasons perhaps for
his lack of friends there. Even though
he stayed but little in the state, there
is no doubt that there is very great
interest there in the outcome of his
case.
The proceedings of the National Cot
ton Convention. In session at Shreve
port, La., for the especial purpose of
considering means for checking or ex
terminating the cotton boll weevil, will
be watched with interest by planters
throughout the cotton belt. For sev
eral years the weevil has been mak
ing its way North and East at the
rate of sixty to seventy-five miles
a year, and it has covered and de
vastated a considerable part of Texas.
It has, indeed, reached ovar into'
Louisiana and Arkansas, though Us
ravages in those states have been so
far confined to small areas. The fed
eral Department of Agriculture recent
ly expressed the opinion that It was
only a matter of time, if no means
were found to check It, when the wee
vil would cover the entire cotton-pro
ducing territory. That tny such oc
currence would be a calamity needs
not to be argued, since U is self-evi
dent. The best informed men in the
country with respect to the menace
are in attendance on the Hhreveport
convention. It is to be hoped their
conference will result In some practi
cal plan being adopted; and if they
conclude that government aid is neces
sary to the achievement of the ends
desired, that aid should be readily
forthcoming. The preservation of the
cotton crop is riot a sectional but a
national matter. . i)
No sympathy is being wasted on the
officers of the wrecked bank at Ober*
lln, 0., whose downfall was brought
about by the ChHdwick woman. The
national banking law restricts loans
that a national bonk may make to
one person or one corporation to to per
cent, of the hank's capital stock; nev
ertheless these people loaned Mrs.
Chadwick a sunt of money amounting
to four or five times the hank's entire
capital. Arid they did It because
■he had promised itiem a handsome
rats of interest for the bank and large
bonuses for themselves. The avari
cious, grasping, get. rich-quick spirit
was upon them. They were willing to
taka eban- e for tbe sake of the profits
they thought they saw. They gats
bled, and lost.
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 14. 1904.
LYNCHING CHECKED.
According to one authority there was
not a lynching in this country during
the month of November. The reason
for this good record isn’t hard to find.
It was the new and very determined
attitude of state authorities against
lynchmgs. The action of the grand
jury in the Huntsville, Ala., cases and
the excitement stirred up by the action
of the state authorities in this state,
showing a purpose to require military
companies to prevent lynchinga when
ordered out for that purpose, has had
a good effect.
It is true none of the accused parties
in the Huntsville cases has been con
victed. but it doesn’t follow thfat there
wouldn’t be convictions in other similar
cases. The evidences of a determina
tion to enforce the law against lynch
ers has no doubt had a most salutary
influence. If it becomes generally un
derstood that no efforts will be scared
to bring lynchers to justice there will
be very few lynchings. The would
be lynchers will let the law take its
course rather than risk the infliction
Of severe punishment upon themselves.
There ought to be the most vigorous
enforcement of the law against all
Sorts of lawlessness. Whitecappers
should be even more severely dealt
with than lynchers. Both lynchings
and whitedapping lead directly to
wards anarchy.
It was stated in our dispatches yes
terday that a number of the most
influential men of Lincoln county. Ala
bama, had been indicted for whitec'ap
ping. It seems there has been a great
deal of that species of violence in that
county, and the Governor determined
to put a stop to it. The men he em
ployed to get evidence against the
guilty parties did their work well.
Many indictments have been found,
and among the indicted are some of the
wealthiest and most prominent men of
the county. If a few of the prominent
and influential whitecappers should be
convicted there would be no more
whitecapping lawlessness in Alabama.
(t is difficult to get capital and im
migrants to settle in communities in
which there is lawlessness of the
whitecapping and lynching kind. They
seek communities where there are
school houses and churches. The rail
roads and other interests ‘are making
every possible effort to bring in im
migrants and the lawless elements are
doing all they can to keep them out.
These elements ought not to be allow
ed to have their way any longer. They
have had it long enough. The courts
are capable of dealing with criminals
of all sorts. There is no call for lynch
ers or whitecappers.
FEATURES OF THE CHADWICK
CASE.
The trial of Mrs. Chadwick will ba
a most interesting one. It Is doubtful
if it will be productive of any sensa
tions because about all there is to be
known about her and her transactions
has been made public: Her dupes, how
ever, will present an interesting spec
tacle on the witness stand. There will
be great eagerness to see men who
gave up. more than a million dollars
to a woman who was practically a
stranger to them, and that, too, with
out any valuable security. Of course,
they had security, but it was of the
kind calculated to arouse suspicion.
The reason Mrs. Chadwick gave for
having notes signed by Andrew Car
negie was sufficient to suggest to bank
ers of ordinary ability that an investi
gation would be in order before ac
cepting such collateral.
And a remarkable feature of the case
is that the directors of the bank which
held the alleged $5,000,000 voted to re
tain in his position the official who was
so gullible as to be "taken in” by the
woman.
‘The public generally is accustomed
to regard a banker as a particularly
shrewd man of business. The ease
with which Oassle Chadwick relieved a
number of them of their money Is
calculated to create the Impression that
the reputation bankers have for busi
ness acumen and shrewdness is not
well founded. There are many boys who
would have dealt with Mrs. Chadwick
with greater shrewdness and ability
than the Massachusetts and Ohio
financiers did.
Secretary of State Hay has felt Im
pelled to recommend that the salary
of our minister to the Argentine Re
public be increased by the sum of
$2,000 a year. This, It is understood,
is because Minister John Barrett re
ported to the department not long ago
that he had been compelled to pay
$9 for a shirt in Buenos Ayres. Of
course, It is highly desirable that our
representative at the Argentine capital
shall be able to afford an adequate
supply of shirts, hence Secretary
Hay'* recommendation. The increase
would enable Minister Barrett to pro
vide himself with anew shirt every
other day, with several extra ones for
Sundays and holidays. Meanwhile,
Secretary Hay has recommended, also,
that the pay of the American Minis
ter to Liberia be increased by $3,500.
it has not been so stated, but if this
,is another case of shirts, t'here is apt
to be some objection raised. The de
'rnands of fashion In Buenos Ayres and
Liberia are entirely different. In the
latter native simplicity and a smile
make up the costume of a great many
of the people.
A current story runs to the effect
that a Washington newspaper man
the other day, for the fun or Instruc
tion of the thing, went out In the
street with a quantity of good silver
dollars which he offered for sale at 25
cents each, and in four hours had suc
ceeded <Ut selling only three of the dol
lars. We do not believe a word of It,
for sixteen reasons. First, no news
paper man could have got dollars
enough together to make a respecta
ble showing as a sidewalk fakir in
the monetary line. The other flfteeu
reasons are immaterial.

Some few months ago the steamer
Bt Louis, of the American line—a line
that it is alleged would profit heavily
by a ship-subsidy bill of the kind that
certain Interests, are trying to force
through Congress—was sent to Eng
land to be overhauled and repaired.
New machinery to the value of some
$500,000 was put Into her. She is now
on her return trip to this country. A
meeting of union machinists in New
York a few days ago passed resolutions
calling the "attention of President
Roosevelt to the St. Louis and de
manding, in view of the fact that she
Is a ship of American registry, that
the full tariff charges on her new ma
chinery be charged and collected by
the customs officials. The tariff rate Is
about 45 per cent, on machinery. That
rate is charged on printing presses
made abroad, and the petitioners to the
President assert that there is no rea
son why printing machinery should be
rrfade to pay the tax while steamship
machinery should be permitted to es
cape payment.
Since the beginning of Ootoiber there
has been an extraordinary drought in
some parts of the United States. Par
ticularly has the deficiency of moisture
been noticeable In the valley of the
Ohio river. Streams and wells have
gone dry, and cattle and humans have
suffered for want of water. During the
same time th! phenomenon of a flood
in a part of the Sahara desert has
been noted. About the middle of Oc
tober, according to cable dispatches,
two sections of the Algerian Sahara
was practically overwhelmed with
floods, and many lives were lost. Sev
eral villages on the edge of the desert
were almost swept away. This seems
to be In line with the theory that a
certain amount of precipitation must
occur each year, in one quarter of the
globe or another, and that when it is
excessively dry in one place it is ex
cessively wet in another.
Seventeen hundred thousand dollars'
worth of automobiles of foreign make
were imported through the port of
New York during the past twelve
months. The consensus of expert
opinion seems to be that American me
chanics are able to build the best au
tomobiles in tlje world, and at a price
(tariff charges considered) lower than
those of any foreign competitors. But
for some reason or other there are cer
tain automobile buyers who, like buy
ers of other commodities, imagine that
a foreign label on a machine makes it
better than anything that can be pro
duced in this country. While we are
exporting locomotives to all parts of
the world, and American locomotives
are to be world leaders,
we are importing European automo
biles—for their labels.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
(Dem.) says: “Any disappointment
the South may feel from a postpone
ment of the work of tariff revision will
be compensated for by the fact that
the postponement of the call for an ex
tra session will render Impossible of
pussage, any of the representative re
duction and other measures hostile to
the South. Congress will be unable to
get through with more than its routine
business in the shbrt time before March
4, when it ceases to exist."
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: “It was not ‘good politics' when
the Republican party conferred the
right of suffrage upon the ignorant aril
unready African male population of
the South. The mistake is now gen
erally recognized by the great mass of
the intelligent membership of the par
ty. Now that the whites of the South
have undertaken to rescue themselves
from the dangers of negro dominance
It would not be ‘good politics' to punish
them by a reduction of their represen
tation In Cong tees because of negro
disfrunehisferhdnt. The burnt child
dreads the Tire.” ' 4
The Louisville Courier-Journal
(Dem.) says. “‘I especially commend
to vour immediate attention the en
couragement of our merchant marine
by appropriate legislation.' Thus
speaks the President In his message,
und'that Is all he has to say on the
subject. There are many schemes by
which 'the tjherchant marine may be
“encouraged," but as devised by the
Republicans they all involve the ex
action of tribute from many people in
order to pay it to a few. The Pres
ident. while approving the proposition
to encourage the merchant murine, de
clines to commit himself openly to any
of the plans for encouraging it. On
occasions when he chooses to exercise
it Mr. Roosevelt's agility as a side
stepper Is not the least notable of his
accomplishments.”
The Richmond New* Leader (Dem.)
says: "Asa laborer, the negro is los
ing ground in the South and Is being
driven North, where he does not find
an enthusiasts welcome. He belongs
to a separate race and wherever he
may go or however widely and gen
erally he may be scattered that line
of separation will be maintained. It
seems to be practically certain that all
but the very best and cream of him
will be crowded out of the South. All
the worst of him will drift North, to
become a potent influence for evil there,
until—
" Until the people of the whole coun
try wake some good day to realize the
Impossibility of maintaining on the
same soil and In the same conditions
two separated races alien to each oth

Five Jack* Heat Four Ace*.
Col. Jim Furlong, who keep* the big
Holland Hotel in this odd corner of
Texas, was thrown into a reminiscent
mood the other evening when some
one brought up the subject of poker,
say* an Orange (Tex.) dispatch to the
New York Sun.
“Poker!” said he. “I used to be quite
fond of poker myself, but after- that
little game I sat down with up in the
Texas Panhandle, a few years ago, I
dropped out of the recreation for
good.”
“Cleaned you up, did they?”, said
Farmer F. C. Hanford of Rochester,
N. Y., who is down here getting in
the rice crop from his 6,000 acre patch
of Cow Bayou prairie.
"Well," replied the Colonel, “they
raked in that particular spot, but that
wasn't why I quit. It was the beat
ing of the hand I held that discour
aged me.”
“Ha, ha!” said Farmer Hanford.
“What did you hold?”
“Four acres,” responded Col. Jim.
"Four beautiful aces, and they might
just as well have been a pair of deuces,
they were downed so easy.”
“Someone held a straight flush
against you, eh?’’ said Farmer Han
ford. “I don't see anything so awful
discouraging about that. You might
have kept on with the game until now,
and not run up against another
straight flush.-”
“Straight flush!” exclaimed the
Colonel. "You don’t suppose a straight
flush would have broken my heart, do
you? No, no! I held four aces. The
other fellow held five jacks.”
“Five jacks!" ejaculated Farmer
Hanford. "Pooh! Impossible!”
Col. Furlong gazed at the owner of
the 6,000 acre rice patch as if he
couldn't believe he had heard aright,
and then concluding that he had, he
said, with an injured air:
“Young man, did you ever play po
ker up in the Texas Panhandle?”
Farmer Hanford said he -never had.
“I might have known that without
asking you,” said Col. Jim. "Well,
then, let me tell you something.
“If you ever do sit down with a
game up there, and when it comes to
a call a tall citizen with fringe on his
trousers, a greasy wide rimmed hat, a
mustache that rests its ends on his col
larbone and with the smell of cattle
wafting from him-, begins carelessly to
whittle the corner off of the table with
a knife a foot long -and reckons that
he's got five jacks, you just bunch your
cards, toss ’em on to the deadwood and
say, cheerful like:
“ ‘Them’s gooder than 30,000 head of
longhorns landed safe at the stock
yards, pardner!’
"Straight flush! Why, a straight
flush ain’t deuce high up in the Texas
Panhandle, young man!”
Col. Jim Furlong was born and grew
up in Buffalo, N. Y„ and although he
has been thirty years in Texas he
seems to be a truthful man.
Virtue in Scotch Whisky.
Two municipal officials entered a cafe
recently to transact other than city
business, says the Baltimore Sun.
Each was aware of the convlval habits
of the other, hence the surprise of
the one when the other ordered Scotch
whisky.
“What’s the matter, John?” Inquired
the friend of the Scotch-whisky advo
cate. “You can't play golf In winter.”
"I am going home,” John replied,
pouring out hig Scotch.
"I am from Missouri and you’ll have
to put me wise. J happen to know
that you take rye iji yours.”
"Take your dose ftest, and I’ll tell
you something you’ll remember as long
as you are able to., swallow alcohol,”
explained John as he downed his
Scotch <is if it were so much medi
cine. >'
"I said I was going home. That
means I am going to see my wife in
a very short while. As you know, she
objects to my drinking; hence the
Scotch.”
"Well, I am still from Missouri,” re
joined the other.
“Well, It's this way. If you went
home now your wife would know you
had been drinking. Mine would not.
The difference Is that you have taken
rye and I have indulged in Scotch.
My breath will be innocent of intoxi
cants. That’s the characteristic of
Scotch whisky. Remember this and
it’ll save you trouble. When you’re
going home and your friends insist
on setting them up make yours Scotch
and all will be well."
Painless. Dentistry.
"Wilt—will it hurt much?” she ask
ed the dentist, when he said that the
tooth must come out, says an ex
change.
"Well, it will jar you a little, of
course,” he replied, with a smile.
"I—l never had a tooth pulled be
fore,” she sgid, as she glanced around
as if seeking some avenue of escape.
“But it will be all over in a sec
ond or two. Now "
"One moment, doctor. I am not sure
I can stand the pain. Folks have
died in the dentist’s chair. Don’t you
think I would better wait until to
morrow ?"
"Madam," sternly replied the dentist,
as he winked at his assistant, “let me
say that I am giving 300 trading
sl'amps to every woman who has a
tooth pulled to-day, and the offer won't
hold good to-morrow! Therefore ”
“Therefore go ahead and pull it as
quick as you can!” she said, as she
leaned back and opened her mouth and
shut her eyes.
EzerolsliiK-
Senator Cockrell of Missouri went
fishing down the Potomac with a
friend not long ago, says the Kansas
City Journal. A stone tied to a rope
held the bout at the place where the
two decided to try their luck. The
fish did not bite, so after an hour or
two the Senator and his friend return
ed, the latter rowing. They noticed
that the boat seemed to be very slug
gish In responding to the ours, but hud
no Idea of the reason until the landing
was reached.
Then the man from whom they rent
ed the boat said:
"Jedge, you don't look drunk, and
you haven’t the smell of liquor on you.
but this Is the first time I ever saw
two sober men pull a bout for three
mile* with the anchor dragging."
"I paid for the boat, didn’t I?" re
plied the Senator, testily, not caring to
