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 Largest Engines in the World Operated Here. ISTICKABILITY VERSUS QUITABILITY 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. Months.

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 ly under the name of “Abu-djedld.” Owing to the low ►::r—— 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.

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 summer.' 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 hopo that are built on tho Impregnable rock of an unwavering purpose, and Joined and mortised one to the other with the cement of a'heroic resolu tlon.

"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 itual benefits which they have de rived therefrom.
