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 schoolmaster is no gentleman, in the view of the law, however well-to-do, educated and refined he may be. He 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 ing or income. For instance, the mer 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 tain age, that could be disposed of to 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 In the United Hiatus, According to •he census figures there ars 21* more young men thui. young women In avery 100,ouo of population. That knocks into a e<M Itsi the theory that there is an affinity somewhere for every man ttiat is horn—unless the man is to go to Canada or somewhere else to find hla affinity. In the country at targe 'here are pretty nearly t, ooojkw more me tea than females. Careless young bachelors might go well to make a 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. Cot. Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston tie must bes colonel at leaat—ia doubt less having the time of hie life, mak ing Wall straet dance to hla piping. ('<•l. Lawson's success In forcing the nfarket his way during the past week le sti added proof that there Is nothing In the world so timed, so easily fright. ii# ittonty. 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. PERSONAL. —‘Arrangements are being made for the establishment of a colony on the Dowie plan at JTjpes Spur, Beltrami county, Minn., where a tract of over 3,000 acres has been purchased. A man named Jake Hines has charge of the enterprise grid under his direc tion building operations have been be gun. He refuses to give any specific information, but .it is thought the colony is intended to be an independent one, having no direct connection with the Chicago “prophet.” BRIGHT BITS. —The Lawyer—" H’m!

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 er, one far stronger than the other, resenting Its rivalry and intent on sup pressing It. Then, too, we will realise that with our wealth and power a whnlsesle assisted and kindly esdus of the weaker race to sum * place set apart foi It and offering it Independent opportunity wilt be not only necessary, but eas). 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 admit his forgetfulness. “Well, then, it Is none of your business If we wanted to get a little extra exercise.” Not a l.ndac Member. In Guthrie, Okla., every one be longs to tome Masonic, lodge. Re cently anew man came to Guthrie and located just across the street from H. T. Swearengln, a prominent Scot tish Rite Mason, saya an exchange. One day, about a week later. Swear engtn saw a 6-year-old boy of the new neighbor, as the lad was passing, and after a few preliminaries, asked if his father was a Mason. "No, sir," an swered the boy. "Probably, then, he Is an Odd Fellow," suggested Hwenren gln, but the boy again denied it, "Then hr must be a Pythian," sqld the Krot tlsh Rita man, but the boy said "No.” "Isn't your father a member of any lodge?" asked Hwesrengln, Incredulous ly.
