THE GEORGIAN COMES TO flL im GEORGIA* AS THE SUNSHINE TS A man may wall bring a horse to the water. But he cannot make him drink without he will. —Heywood. Russia and the Holy Alliance. The great world drama which la being enacted upon the Rnaalan eta go baa assumed a more criUcal aspect within the past tew hours than at any tlmo since the assembling ot the representative douma. It Is given out that the esar has Anally yielded' to the persuasion of the reactionaries and has signed the decree dissolving the chamber. This means, ot courae, that the hope ot a peaceful settlement of the great qups* tlons at Issue is no longer possible and the reign of ter ror may be expected to begin at any time. The most startling of the new developments Is the announcement that Germany and Austria have reached an agreement to Intervene tn behalf of Russia In the event of a great uprising of the people. It Is announced that they will occupy Poland and the Baltic provinces with the end In view of restoring order. This would be tn effect a revival ot that Infamous Instrument known as the Holy Alliance. It will be recalled that this hypocritical league and covenant for the support ot absolutism In Europe was proposed by the Russian Emperor Alexander I, Imme diately after the fait of Napoleon. Alexander wae at that time under the mystical Influence of the notorious Madamo Krudener, who attempted to atone tor a hoy day of shame by a middle age of pretended piety, and sug gested to the Infatuated exar a coalition of the Christian powers for mutual protection and the support theoretical ly ot “Justice, Christian charity and peace.” The rulers who signed It laughed In their sleeves at the fraud they were practicing on mankind In veiling so cunningly their common design to overthrow repre sentative government wherever It should show Its head, but Prince Mettemlch found It useful In support ot abso lutism, and he did not hesitate to avail himself of It It was the effort to extend Its operation to the west- em hemisphere and retmpose upon the revolted states ol South America the yoke of Spain, which gave rise to the flrat apeclflo enunciation of the Monroe doctrine, In 1833. President Monroe announced In his message ot that year that we “could not view with complacency" this effort to extend European control to the countries of this hemisphere and thus.was born the policy which has ever since borne his name. But Its operation In Europe, so long as It lasted, was sufficiently dtastrous. There was little In the Holy A1 lance to justify Its name, and everything to conflrm the fact that It was Instituted to put down representative government. However thinly disguised, such is In fact the purpose ot (he present agreement among the sovereigns of the same three countripe which formulated It 90 years ago. It is intended to uphold the divine right of the autocrat ot all the Russlas. But the world has progressed a long way since 1816. The spirit of democratic republicanism has been growing and expanding every year, and the people of Russia are themselves fully awake to the perils of the hour. The douma may be dissolved, at the point of the bayonet, as now seems probable from the concentra tion ot troops tn the capital, but the loyalty of the army is gravely doubted, while the determination of the revo lutionists Is beyond all speculation. We are living In a momentous period. The map of the world Is quivering and oscillating. It needs no prophet or son of a prophet to teach us that the next few woeks wlU be absorbing in the highest degree, with a strong probability that the long anticipated reign of blood nnd terror has come at last. The Fiscal Year’s Cotton Exports. Statistics are at hand showing the marvelous growth of the cotton Industry during recent years, and particu larly for the last season. As furnished by The Wall Street Journal, the prelim inary flgures are at hand giving exports of cotton from the United States, by months, during tho flscal year end ing June SO, lSOA. A total of 7,041,168 bales, weighing 3,- 618,373,110 pounds, valued at 1400,426,967, was exported. During the month of December this movement reachod the maximum for the year, when 1,094,603 bales were sent abroad. The 'month of minimum export was July, with only 320,861 bales. Months. Bales.

No other crop added anything like $400,000,000 to the credit ot the United States In foreign exchange. Of the principal domestic products exported raw cotton contributed 45 per cent In 1904. - A German consular report, recently Issued, Is respon sible for the statement that half the total Imports of Kiog Mcnellk’s dominion of’Abyssinia consists of cotton. We are told that the natives use hardly any other kind ot cloth, and have It bleached or unbleached, ac cording to their means. Rough unbleached cotton cloth, the article which enjoys the largest demand, Is sold local ly under tho name of "Abu-djedld.” Owing to the low price at which they offer their goods the Ameqjcan man ufacturers are practically controlling this trade. They make their shipments vis Aden and the annual business estimated at over twenty millions of yards ot cloth, repre* sentlng a total value of about $1,094,000. The leadlgg markets are DJIbutl, Harrar, and Massouah. The un bleached goods arrive In pieces of thirty yards In length and one In width, the weight ot each piece rarely ex ceeding about ten pounds. There Is a paper wrapper round ayery piece and 26 pieces go to the bale, which Is carefully packed and protected by canvas. Every piece of cloth has the trade-mark printed at the end and the na tives, as a rule, have their own particular fancies In this respect The brands most In demand are the “Gemal “Lion,” “Menellk,” "Ferros," “D," and “Balatur,” which average In price about $2.60 to $3.00 a piece. Abyssinia Is one ot the most enlightened and pro gressive countries ot Africa and the growing favor In which American cotton goods are held Is worthy of more than passing notice on the part of Southern spinners. The Passing of Sage. The death of Russell Sage brings to a close a long and eventful career. To say that he was suoeessful will at once raise controversy among people who entertain conflicting opinions as to what constitutes success. He began life as a clerk In a grocery store and by the time he was two score years of age he had acquired a fortune which was colossal In the days when half a f million went much further and was a more Infrequent accumulation than It Is today. He observed the laws of health to such an ex tent that he lengthened out the span of life almost to 90 years. If to "put money in thy purse” be the only thing worth while in life, his career was not only an abounding success but an example to the rising generation of every land and time. As soon as he had acquired his fortune of half a million dollars he began those railroad opera tions which made him many times over a millionaire. That many of these operations were In the nature of what we now call ’high finance cannot be denied, and they must be Judged according to the standards of the various observers. But the eccentricities, and If one must be candid, the niggardly parsimony of the shrewd little man have done more to make him famous than nil his millions. It has been cunningly whispered more than once that Russell Sago was, after all, ono of those who "do good by stealth" nnd would “blush to And It fame," but If that were truo he was as secret about It as he was In tho manipulation of his schemes of finance. His benefactions did not become known. A certain amount of Interest therefore attaches to the reading ot hfs will, to see whether his final bequests reveal a more generous man than he was reputed to be In life. The stories that will be printed during the next few weeks of his thrift amounting to actual meanness, will be abundant, and will oonntltuto some very diverting reading. They are not apochrypbal, for the most part, for nothing is better established then that this man of mill ions dined on the cheapest lunch the down-town restau rants afforded, and that his ready made clothes were such as bis humblest clerk would have scorned to wear. There Is no need to say anything 111 of the dead, but It would be worse than hypocritical to shed any maudlin tears over him. His second wife Is still living, and It goes without saying that she will miss him and perhaps mourn for him, but with that possible exception tt Is no use to deny that he will not be mourned.. The per- functory flowers on Jils grave will lack the essential fra grance of spontaneous love and affection. He lived and died to himself, and In no sonse can he be regarded as having been a benefactor of society. The world Is little better for hts having lived and the even tenor of the world will not be Interrupted by his death. In Behalf of Small Parks. The movement In behalf of InvA-thlng spaces and playgrounds for the. children should not be allowed to languish for a moment The experiment already made oi open’ng up the Fair street sohool yard for tho children ot the vicinity ban proven so much of a benefit and so entirely success ful from every point of view that the movement In favor ot extending the system Is growing dally. This should In no way conflict with the plan for the city to acquire somewhere comparatively In the center ot the city a sufficient space of ground for a small park, to be set aside in perpetuity for the general public. We candidly believe that an overwhelming majority of the cttlxens ot Atlanta are in favor of such a step ahd would bo glad to see definite measures taken to that end at the earliest possible moment. The large cities are taking to the plan very rapidly and wherever a new park Is opened It Is hailed with de light. The Chicago Examiner of recent date says that black-eyed children with solemn features danced and clapped their hands along the crowded streets ot Jeffer son and Union when It was told them that the city was to give them a park In which they could plsy. Tho sites for the small parks on tho west side, pro vided tor by the authorisation of $1,000,000 bond Issue at tho last election, were selected Thursday by the west park board. Three parks are to be Immediately built In the most thickly settled portions of that side of the city. One will be between Union and Jefforson streets, Barber street and Fourteenth place. This Is the very heart ot the Jewish quarter. The PoJUU children will have a park botwoen Chica go avenue and Cornell street. Noble and Chase streets. There Is no public playground anywhere In this crowded district Tho Bohemian quarter will also have Its park, be tween Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, Fisk and May streets. This playground will occupy the only vacant property In a thickly settled area covering several miles, with many families crowded Into almost every building. The same delight with similar propositions Is ex pressed In 8t. Louis, New York and everywhere that such steps are taken and Atlanta could not do better than to follow the example of these larger cities. TIRED OF RECRIMINATION. To the Editor ot The Georgian: If I. as an humble clttxen, may be privileged to do so, I desire to make a suggestion In regard to the Hoke Smlth-Clark Howell affair which Is aired dally In two ot our leading papers. It Is this: That we may through some reliable source find out “who Is who." The dally paper Is the only source of Information that the common peo ple hare to rely on and what are we going to do when one day The Journal comes out with one statement and the next day The Constitution comes out and directly con tradicts It and vice versa. The affair Is getting to be almost ridiculous even among the younger class. And again tt Is getting so that you cannot express your opinion without being criticised and almost Jumped on and claw ed for having your own “freo-born American" opinion. I think that a committee ought to be appointed to Inves tigate this affair dnd see who Is In the right and who is In the wrong. And If both men are grand scoundrels like the papers plcturo them, then I move that we start out another candidate nnd put these two In a bag together and let them fight It out and let our papers once more be respectable and mdnnerly. Respectfully, A CITIZEN. Growth and Progress of the New South The Largest Engines in the World Operated Here. In pursuance of the policy ot presenting under this head from time to time Information concerning the growth and progress of the South, The Georgian calls attention to the fact that the Atlanta and West Point rail road has recently purchased and within the past thirty days has begun to use on Its system two of the largest locomotive engines tn the world. Events of this kind occur from time to lime, and totally escape the attention they deserve, but the present Instance deserves something more then passing comment It Is a notable circumstance. Indeed, when we con sider the number and extent of the railroads of the world, that right here In Georgia a railroad has equipped Itself with two such monster engines, which easily carry off the palm. It Is also a matter worthy of comment that these engines were de signed by President Wickers ham and hts subordinates of the road. A1 though minor changes were suggested and carried out while the engines were In course of construction at tha Baldwin Locomotive Works, the fun dements! principles were unaltered, and It Is to these gentlemen alone that the credit ts due. Perhaps some Idea of the site of engines Noe. 88 and IS, one of which leaves Atlanta for Montgomery at 4:20 p. m. dally, while the other arrives at 11:35 p. m., may be gathered from the fact that each weighs 229,000 pounds, has six driving wheels of 6 1-2 feet In diameter, cylinders 21 by 21 Inches, with a steam pressure ot 400 pounds to the square Inch. These engines cost $18,000 each, and carry 7,000 gallons of water. It would be almost Impossible to say what speed they would be able to develop If they were put to the extreme test, for nothing Is more cer tain than that they would go a great deal faster than anybody wopld be willing to ride. It ts well established that they can draw a train of twelve heavy coaches at the rate of 60 miles an hour, and can make the trip with such a train from Atlanta to Montgomery, a distance of 176 miles, In three hours. Including one necessary stop for water. In charge of Engineer Spuriark or Engineer Connor, two veterans, to whom the engines have been assigned, and carrying Only enough coaches to steady them, they would go faster than any passenger would desire to travel—at teait for the second time. , On a recent run ts Atlanta seven miles were covered In eight minutes flat, on a 1 per cent up grade, carrying a heavy train of cars. These engines have been equipped with a new patent air brake. In vented by Engineer Hicks, which promises to work a revolution In this de partment of train enulpment. It possesses a number of advantages over ths old system. Mr. Hicks Is now In the North, where he has gone to equip a number of engines on the Pennsylvania and the New York Central rail roads with these brakes, which are giving complete satisfaction wherever they are operated, and hts friends are confident that a large fortune awaits him In the development of his Invention. He Is manufacturing them himself, and has not yet taken any steps to dispose of his rights. It Is more than probable that a large plant In the near future will be erected here In Atlanta for the manufacture of these brakes, with Atlanta men, Including Mr. Hicks, as the shareholders and leading spirits In the enterprise. • Thus another element In Southern development, of which the public at present does not realize the full Importance, will be added to our Industrial resources. • • It Is the purchase and operation of such engines as those to which we have called attention, and the Invention and exploitation of this new air broke, which Is already accepted as entirely practical, which, go to make up the sum of our greatness along the line ot Industrial growth and progress In the South.

To the Editor of The Georgian: In a recent Issue of your paper you publish an article “Philistine and Pharisee,” taken from the New York Globe. This article Is unjust and un kind to Mrs. Eddy, whose life purpose la to make the world better, healthier, and happier. In Concord, Mrs. Eddy's home, she la regarded as a good cltl- sen—respected and honored as a good woman, and her beautiful Christian life la such that she has lived down the old proverb that "A prophet la not without honor save tn hts own coun try." As to the sale ot Science and Health, we quote from Mr. Alfred Fariow, C. 8. D., who has been In close touch with the Christian Science movement for years. "We have no apology to offer for the enormous sate of Science and Health, nor fop the fact that tt brings to Mrs. Eddy a handsome profit, for the book ts well worth the price It bears and tt Is well known to Chris tian Scientists that Mrs. Eddy spends her money tn ways that, are most ad vantageous to the cause ot Christ and the general well being ot mankind. The marked demand for the book Is occa sioned by Its unparralleled value as a key to the Scriptures Moreover, the moat of those who have purchased Science and Health and have practiced what It teaches, are ready to testify that aside from the extraordinary spir itual benefits which they have de rived therefrom, It has saved them a good many- times Its value In dollars and cents by doing away with doctors bills.

STICKABILITY VERSUS QUITABIUTY By JOHN ANDER80N JAYNE. On the morning of May 1L 1164 General Grant was standing In front bit tent talking to a congressman w had come from New York down Into the "Wilderness” to see how the tide of battle was going. After a long conversation the congressman asked General Grant to give some message to the people of the North relative what he proposed doing. The great general hesitated, and then turned and wrote a message of two hundred more words, and said to the congress man as he handed It to him: "This all that I have to say." Then as the roar of the terrtbta bat tle of Spotsylvania was lifted higher and higher. General Grant turned his attention to the progress of the battle, while the congressman, E. B. Wash burne, began his journey to New York. There would be nothing remarkable in the episode were It not for the tact that In those brief two hundred words there was a short epigrammatic sen tence that afterwards became a house, hold word all over the country—a sen tence that expresses the unconquer able, Indomitable will of the man who came, as the months rolled by, to bear the name ot “Unconditional Surrender" Grant. Those words were these: "I propose to fight It out on this line If It takes all suthmer." Those words have the right ring to them. They are like deep sounding bells erected on the spires of hope In the cathedral of the heart, spires of hops that are built on ths Itppregnable rock of an unwavering purpose, and Joined and mortised onp to the other with the cement of a heroic resolu tlon. ' There are two words frequently- used tn our American life that as yet have found no pjace tn our dictionaries. One Is the word stlckablllty. The other Is the word qultabtllty. Stlckablllty Is that noble quality of the soul that enables Its owner to hang right on to the work In hand though the heavens reel and the earth shakes. Qultabtllty never forced a march, never won a victory, never saved a buslnesa enterprise from the rocks of failure. It Is continually on the look out for “the lion that may be In the way." It satis no new seas, discovers no new continents, explores no untrav eled West and opens up no possible mines ot Golconda. It Ts dys and is constantly fed on bread o ardtee made from the skimmed and soured milk of Irresolution. Stlckablllty, when one of Its vessels Is put to the bad. Immediately seises Old Glory In one hand and, placing the other on the rail of the sinking ship, jumps Into a little cockle shell boat and transfers Its courage to another ship and shouts: "I have Just begun to fight.” Stlckablllty has the courage of Its own enthusiastic convictions poised to ward the right. It paints on the side of Its desert wagons “Pike’s Peak or Bust." It sees a Messalia winning the race, and, darting across the trail of Its opponent, guides ths horses round the dangerous turn, and wins the race. It says with Martin Luther: "I'm go ing to Worms, though there are a thousand devils on the tiles of the roof °History does not record the name of a single quitter, only In conjunction with a splendid sticker. No cathedrals are ever erected In honor ot the quitter. No songs ever spread to future srenera- ttons his glory; no bronse tablets ever emblason his triumphs, so all may read. The world honors the sticker—never the quitter. And the sticker has just as hard a time In life as the quitter. His line of life Is no more smooth, his conquests no more easy of attainment than life or possibility of conquests has been for the quitter. The sticker simply be gins, continues and hangs on, while the quitter lets go, drops and comes down with a thud. The cultivation of the grace of stlckablllty leads to the vic tory and the victor’s reward. Qulta- btllty knows none of these things. It sees them afar off, but nsver comes Into possession. In the midst of your struggles and battles say with Grant: "I propose to fight It out on this line If It takes all summer." It may take all winter, but If you’re right and go ahead, you’ll come out ahead. Don't quit—stick; and, sticking, win. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 0 POLITICS AND POLITICIANS. O O 00O0000000000000000 Upton Sinclair, author of "The Jun gle. has consented to accept the con gressional nomination from the Soclal- i ets of hie district in New Jersey. There Is to be no fusion between the Democrats and the Populists In tbs Kansas elections this fall. The withdrawal of Colonel W. W.

Socialists of Michigan have put full state ticket In the field, headed by James Walker, of Muskegon, as candi date for governor. Winston Churchill, the author, has entered the race as a candidate for the i Republican nomination for governor ot New Hampshire. The Socialists of North Dakota have nominated a state ticket, headed by L. F. Dow, of Grand Forks, for governor. This Is the date set'for the Demo crats of Alaska to meet In convention at Juneau to name their first candidal’s for delegate In congreea. Chairman John F. Rutherford has called the Democratic state committee of Arkansas to meet In Little Rock to morrow to dlaecuss plans for the com ing campaign. The Democratic state central com mittee of Washington meets In Seattle today to eall a convention for the nom ination of four candidates for Justice of the supreme Court and three con gressional candidates. The convention will not be held until fall, probably about tbs middle of September. Republicans of Michigan are to meet i state convention In Detroit the last day of this month, and on the following day the G. O. P. of Iowa will hold forth In Des Moines.

July 21.—Cardinal Gib bons declares that "a young man born to great wealth Is handlcapepd tn many Instances." While this may be true there would be no lack of candidates for the handicap if it were a matter which ambition could affect. The pre late goes on to say: "iris probable that the temptations which assail a young man born to wealth will be stronger than they might have been under any other circum stances, where hts personal responsl- bltltles were greater. But reltgloui In- struction and careful training win overcome even the disadvantages of birth." Cardinal Gibbons was 72 years old a week ago. Instead of being feeble, as many reports have pictured him re- cently, he Is In ths best of health. Senator W. A. Clark Is hastenlns from Butte, Mont, to this city to sail for Paris, where Mrs. Clark has Just presented him with another daughter Tbe senator, wbo bad gone west to vis it his son and daughter-inlaw, started for New York aa soon as the news reached him by telegraph. It Is said that Senator Clark In the autumn will organize a social campaign on behalf of himself and hts wife. He expects to become an Important factor In the activities of the "400." President Stuyveaant Fish, of the Il linois Central railroad, has taken as much aa four days off, which he spent at Newport.
