Russia and the Holy Alliance.
The greet world dnuns which Is being enseted upon
the Russian stage has assumed a more critlcdl aspect
within the past few hours than at any time since the
assembling of the representative douma.
It Is given out that the esar has Anally yielded to
tho persuasion of the reactionaries and has signed the
decree dissolving tho chamber. This means, of course,
that the hope of a peaceful settlement of the great ques
tions 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 In 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 In effect a revival of that Infamous
'instrument known as the Holy Alliance.
It will be recalled that this hypocritical league and
covenant for the support of absolutism In Europe was
proposed by the Russian Emperor Alexander I, Imme
diately after tha fall of Napoleon. Alexander was at
that time under the mystical InAuence of the notorious
Madame Krudener, who attempted to atone for a hey day
of shame by a middle age of pretended piety, and sug-
gested to the Infatuated esar a coalition of the Christian
powers for mutual protection and the support theoretical
ly of "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 Metternlch found It useful In support of abso-
, lutlsm, and he did not hesitate to avail himself of It.
It was the effort to extend Its operation to tho west
ern hemisphere and relmpose upon the revolted states
of South America the yoke of Spain, which gave rise to
the Arst speclAc enunciation of the Monroe doctrine, In
1823. President Monroe announced In hls messago of
that year that we “could not view with complacency"
ttits effort to extend European control to the countries of
this hemisphere and thus was born the policy which has
ever since borne hls name.
But Its operation In Europe, so long as It lasted, was
sufficiently dlastrous. There was little In tho Holy AI-
lanco to Justify Its name, and everything to confirm the
fact that It was Instituted to put down representative
government.
However thinly disguised, such Is In fact the purpose
of the present agreement among the sovereigns of the
same three countries which formulated It 90 years ago. It
Is Intended to uphold the divine right of the autocrat of all
the Russlas.
But the world has progressed a long way since 1815.
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 of troops In 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 weeks
will be absorbing In the highest degree, with a strong
probability that the long anticipated reign of blood pnd
terror has come at last
ufacturera are practically controlling this trade. They
make their shipments via Aden and the annual business Is
estimated at over twenty millions of yards of cloth, repre
senting a total value of about $1,094,000. The leadlgg
markets are DJtbutl, Harrar, and Maasouah. The un
bleached goods arrive In pieces of thirty yards In length
and one In width, the weight of each piece rarely ex
ceeding about ten pounds. There Is a paper wrapper
round every piece and 25 pieces go to the bale, which Is
carefully packed and protected by canvas. Every piece
of cloth has the trade-mark printod 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 "Genial,"
“Lion," “Menellk," <'Ferros," "D," and “Balatur," which
average In price about $2.50 to $3.00 a piece.
Abyssinia Is one of the most enlightened and pro
gressive countries of 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 successful will at once raise a
controversy among people who entertain conAlctlng
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 be had acquired a fortune which was
colossal In the days when half a 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 1n life, bis 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’hls 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 m&ke him famous than aU hls millions.
It has been cunningly whispered more than once
that Russell Sage was, after, ail, ono of those who "do
good by stealth" and would “blush to And It fame,” but If
that were true he was as secret about It as he was In the
manipulation of hls schemes of finance.
Hls benefactions did not become known.
A certain amount of Interest therefore attaches to
tho reading of hls will, to see whether hls Anal 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 hls thrift amounting to actual meanness, will
bo abundant, and will constitute some very diverting
reading. They are not apochryphal, for the most part, for
nothing Is better established than that this man of mill
ions dined on the cheapest lunch the down-town restau
rants afforded, nnd that bis ready made clothes were
such as hls humblest clerk would have* scorned to wear.
Thero la no need to say anything 111 of the dead, but
would be worse than hypocritical to shod any maudlin
tears over him. IIlsAecond wife Is still living, and It goes
without saying that she will miss him and perhaps
mourn for him, but with that possible exeeptlon It Is no
use to deny that be' will not be mourned. The per
functory flowers on hls grave will lack the essential fra
grance of spontaneous love and affection. He lived and
died to himself, and In no sense can he be regarded as
having been a benefactor of society.
The world Is little better for hls having lived and
the even tenor of the world will not be Interrupted by
hls death.

The Fiscal Year’s Cotton Exports.
Statistics are at band 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 figures are at hand giving exports of cotton from
the United States, by months, during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1900. A total of 7,041,168 bales, weighing 3,-
(28,373,110 pounds, valued at $400,426,967, was exported.
During the month of December this movement reached
the maximum for the year, when 1,094,503 bales were sent
abroad. The month of minimum export was July, with
only 220,851 bales.

The value<of last year's exports of cotton was the
largest In the history of the trade. No other crop added
anything like $400,000,000 to the credit of the United.
State* 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 King
Meneltk's dominion of Abyssinia consists of cotton.
We are told that the natives use hardly any other
kind of 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

In Behalf of Small Parks.
The movement In behalf of VtveMilng spaces and
playgrounds for the children should not be allowed to
languish for a moment.
The experiment already made of open'ng up the
Fair street school yard for the children of the vicinity
has proven so much of a benefit and so entirely success
ful from every point of view that the movement In favor
of extending th* system Is growing dally.
This should In no way conflict with the plan for the
city to acquire somewhere comparatively In (he center of
the city a sufficient spaco of ground for a small park,
to he set aside In perpetuity for the genenU public. We
candidly believe that an overwhelming majority of the
oltlsens of Atlanta are In favor of such a step and would
be glad to see definite measures taken to that end at the
earliest possible moment.
T* large cities aro taking to the plan very rapidly
and wherever a new park Is opened It Is balled with de
light Tho Chicago Examiner of recent date says that
black-eyed children with solemn features danced and
clapped their, hands along the crowded streets of Jeffer
son and Union when It was told them that the city was
to give them a park In which they could play.
The sites for tho small parks on the west side, pro
vided for by the authorisation of $1,000,000 bond Issue at
the last election, were selected Thursday by the west
park board. Three porks aro to be Immediately built in
the most thickly settled portions of that side of the city.
One will be between Union and Jefferson streets, Barber
street and Fourteenth place. This Is the very heart of the
Jewish quarter.
The Polish chlldrep will have a park botween Chica
go avenue and Cornell street. Noble and Chase streets.
There Is no public playground anywhere In this'crowded
district.
The 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 matey families crowded Into almost every building.
The same delight with similar propositions Is ex
pressed In St. Ixrnis, New York nnd 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 of The Ooorgian: %
If I, as an humble cltlsen. may be privileged to do so,
1 desire to make a suggestion In regard to the Hoke
8mlth-Clark Howell affair which Is aired dally In two of
our leading papers. It Is this: That we may through some
reliable source find out "who Is who.” The dally paper
Is tho only Bource of Information that the common peo
ple have to rely on and what arc we going to do when one
day Tho 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 bo
almost ridiculous even among the younger class. And
again It Is getting so that you cannot express your opinion
without being criticised and almost Jumped on and claw
ed for having your own "free-born American” opinion.
I think that a committee ought to be appointed to Inves
tigate this affair and see who is In the right and who Is In
the wrong. And If both men are grand scoundrels like
the papers picture them, then 1 move that we start out
another candidate and put these two In a bag together
and let them fight It out and let our papers once more
be respectable and mannerly. Respectfully,
A CITIZEN.
In pursuance of the policy of presenting under this head from time to
tlms 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 day* has begun to
us* on Its system two of the largest locomotive engines In the world.
Events of this kind occur from time to time, and totally escape the
attention they deserve, but the present Instance deserves something more
than passing comment. It Is a notable circumstance, Indeed, when we con
sider the number and extent of th* 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 hls subordinates of the road. Al
though minor changes were suggested and carried out while the engines
were In course of construction at the Baldwin Locomotive Works, the fun
damental principles were unaltered, and It Is to these gentlemen alone that
the credit Is due.
Perhaps some Idea of the slse of engines Nos. 38 and 16, one of which
leaves Atlanta for Montgomery at 4:20 p. m. dally, while the other arrives
at 11:86 p. m., may be gathered from the fact that each weighs 239,000
pounds, has six driving wheels of 6 1-2 feet In diameter, cylinders 21 by 28
Inches, with a steam pressure of 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 would be
wllllqg to ride. It Is 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 on* necessary stop for water. In charge of Engineer
fipurlark or Engineer Connor, two veterans, to whom the engines have been
assigned, and carrying only enough coaches to steady them, they would go
taster than any passenger would desire to travel—at least for the second
time. ' i
On a recent run to 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 eoulpment. It possesses a_number of advantages over the
old system. Mr. Hicks Is now In the North,* where he has gone to equip
a number of engines on the Pennsylvania and th* New York Central rail
roads with these brakes, which are giving complete satisfaction wherever
they are operated, and hls friends are confidant that a large fortune awaits
him In the development of hls Invention.
He Is manufacturing them himself, and has not yet taken any steps to
dispose of hls 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 th* shareholders and
leading spirits In the enterprise. <
Thus another element In Bouthem development, of which the public at
present does not realise the full Importance, will be added to our Industrial
resources.
It Is the purchase and operation of such engines aa those to which
we have called attention, and the Invention and exploitation of this new
air brake, which Is already accepted as entirely practical, which gj$ to
make up the sum of our greatness along the line of Industrial growth and
progress In the South.

By JOHN ANDER80N JAYNE.
On the morning of May 1L 1864.
General Grant was standing In front of
hls tent talking to a congressman who
had come from New York down Into
the "Wilderness" to see how th
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 aa he handed it to him: “This
all that I have to say."
Then bb the roar of the terrible bat
tie of Spotsylvania was lifted higher
and higher. Genera^ Grant turned hls
attention to the progress of the battle,
while the congressman, E. B. Wash
burne, began hls journey to New York.
There would be nothing remarkable
In the episode were It not for the fact
that In those brief two hundred words
there was a short epigrammatic sen
fence that afterwards became a house
hold word all over the country—a sen'
fence that expresses the unconquer
able. Indomitable will of the man who
came, as the monthB rolled by, to bear
the name of “Unconditional Surrender”
Grant.
Those words were these: "I propose
to fight It out on this line If It takes all

Those words have the right ring to
them. They, are like deep sounding

To the Editor of The Georgian:
In a recent Issue of your paper you
publish on article "Philistine and
Pharisee," taken from the New York
Glob*. This article le unjust and un
kind to Mr*. Eddy, whose life purpose
Is to make the world better, healthier,
and happier. In Concord; Mr*. Eddy's
home, she le regarded ae a good cltl-
ten—respected end honored as a good
woman, and her beautiful Christian
life Is such that she has lived down
the otd proverb that "A prophet la not
without honor save In hls own coun
try."
Ae to th* sale of Science and Health,
we quote from Mr. Alfred Farlow, C.
S. D„ who has been In close touch with
the Christian Science movement for
years. "We have no apology to offer
for the enormous sale, of Science and
Health, nor for the faet that It brings
to Mrs. Eddy a handsome profit, for
the book Is well worth the price It
bean and It Is well known to Chris'
tlen Scientists that Mrs. Eddy spends
her money In ways thatiara most ad
vantageous to the cause of Christ and
the general well being of mankind. The
marked demand for the book I* occa
sioned by Its unparralleled value as a
key to the Scriptures. Moreover, the
most of those who hare purchased
Science and Health and have practiced
what It teachee, are ready to testify
that aside from the extraordinary spir
