The Welcome to Bryan.
Todny William Jennings Bryan will arrive In New
York city proper and will be the honored guest at the
most notable public reception ever accorded a private clt-
isen In this country.
If he were Rome conquering hero returning from
the well fought field, he could not be the recipient of a
more spontaneous outpouring of enthusiasm than that
which greets him today. But he Is no conquering hero.
He has always employed the arts ot peace. He has con-
quered nothing more martial than the minds and- hearts
of men and this be has done by the mere force of his In
tellect and the vigor of his own splendid personality.
There Is something so manifestly sincere In every act
and In every utterance of the man that he cannot fall
to command admiration and attention wherever he may
go. Ever since that August day In 1893 when his speech
on the floor of the House of Representatives sent his
name ringing throughout the country, he has challenged
the admiration of the world. He awoke next day to find
higieelf famous and his reputation has been growing
ever since.
- No finer evidence of the admiration and esteem In
which he Is held could bo furnished than by this great
outpouring of tho people to meet him at the gates of
his native land after a return from a tour around the
world. There la not a state or a territory In the union—
there Is not a city of any considerable site which has not
sent Its ofllclal or unofficial delegation to greet him upon
hla arrival and to participate In the great reception to
be held In Madison Square Garden tonight.
And this outpouring Is essentially spontaneous.
There has been nothing "cut and dried" about it. As ho
neared home a feeling became more and more manifest
that some such tribute should bo paid him upon his ar
rival. The movement has grown day after day until now
it Is a veritable avalanche, and even the metropolis itself
will hardly hold the hundreds of thousands who will
gather there to do him honor.
It may be that in the shitting shuttle of events Wil
liam Jennings Bryan will never become president of
the United Slates. He may fall in the light before the
people havejtn opportunity to place him In the chair of
the chief executive. But It will be a benediction for
him to look back on such a day and such a scene as
that which he la witnessing In Now York, and he can at
least reflect
“’TIs not In mortals to command success,
But we will do more—Sempronlus, we'll deserve it."
An Evangel of Peace.
Tuesday was the anniversary of that great apostle
of peace, Orotlus, and the occasion was fittingly cele
brated In tho land of his birth,
Hugh do Groot, latinised Into Hugo Orotlus, was
born at Delft, Holland, on April 10, 1683, and died at Ros
tock, Germany, while seeking to return from France to
hla adopted country of Sweden, on August 38, 1645. His
Influence upon history has been extraordinary, since it
was In his single mind that the laws of nations first
found formulation, his most important book on the law
of peace and war being conceived by him before he was
31. though not finally published until March, 1626. II
is still of authority, and from It may truly be said to have
grown the International peace tribunal at The Hague.
The life of Orotlus possesses many elements of ro
mance. He was precocious to a degree, publishing good
Latin verses when he was 9, In the university at 12,
editing Capella's works at 15, a doctor of law at Leyden
k( 16, historian of Holland by choice of the states general
at 20, and entering on his studies ot International law
at 21.
Religious difficulties between the orthodox Calvin
ists and the remonstrants reached their cllmnx in 1619,
When Grottus, as n remonstrant, was sentenced to Im
prisonment for life for bis liberal opinions and confined
In the fortrses of Lovestein, near Gorcum. Hts devoted
wife was permitted to share Ills captivity only upon the
condition that she herself remnln a prisoner, and she It
was who contrived his escape in 1621,
The books Grottus had read and wished to ex
change tor others were sent at regular intervals with
the washing In a chest to Gorcum. Repeuted inspec
tions having disclosed nothing but books and linen, Gro-
tiua himself was placed In the chest, and In April, 162\,
was free at last and In Paris. There, though suffering
from extreme poverty, he composed his great work,
Sweden availed herself ot his manifest talents, and
he served aa Swedish ambassador to the court of France
from 1635 to 1646. In this last year he obtained hla
recall, but was stricken with mortal illness during the
Journey.
Lawson Among the Shadows.
It Is a pathetic spectacle which Thomas W. Lawson
presents, as he sits among the shadows, at bis magnifi
cent country home and mourna over the wife of hla
youth. For thirty year* ahe was hts "chum" and com
panion, and now he sits all day beside the unburled
body at hla magnificent estate, Dreamwold, In Scltuate,
and paces the floor ot hla bedroom most of the night.
Each morning he covers the hermetically sealed coffin
with flowers, and there remains with It until dark, atone
and silent
His grief Is heartrending and shows no sign of be
ing less acute today than the day hla wife died suddenly,
nearly a month ago. He has abandoned business com
pletely. having left all hla vast Interests on "the street”
to hla private secretary, Edward F. McBwceney, and all
attempts to Induce him to resume his activities are fall-
urea.
After Mrs. I-awson's funeral In Boston Mr. Lawson
had the body taken to Dreamwold and there placed In
tbe living room ot the little English cottage on the
grounds which Mrs. Lawson had named "Tho Neat"
There It remains, Mr. I-awson refusing to permit Its
burial. All his daughters are with him, and his son,
Arnold, Is also at Dreamwold. Scarcely any others are
permitted within the grounds.
pioneer among the reformers ot tbe day. It was his
aggressive exposure of tbe "system" and Us methods
which precipitated the Inveatigatlops which have been
going on and he was largely Influential In bringing about
the legislation regulating corporaUons.
' He la essentially a fighter, and it seems strange to
think of him aa bowed and crushed by an overmaster
ing sorrow.
He has the tenderest sympathy of the people of the
whole country.
Georgia’s Reduced Taxes.
The reduced rate of taxation decided upon by the
governor and comptroller general on yesterday la another
gratifying evidence of the substantial progress and pros
perity of this grand old state.
The reduction of 10 cents on a thousand dollars
la not In Itself very considerable to be sure. But the
fact that a state like Georgia, In the face of tbe liberal
appropriations made by the last general assembly, can
reduce the tax rate at all, Is worth more than passing
attention.
The appropriations made by tho legislature were all
of them well conaldered and applied to purposes where
they would do the most good. The establishment ot ag
ricultural colleges In every congressional district was in
Itself enough to commend the last legislature to the con
fidence and esteem of the people, but this la only one
of the many good causes for which appropriations were
made.
There could huvo bsen no good grounds for complaint
If the tax rate for the next year had been slightly in
creased, but the contrary la the case and the people of
tbe state are called upon to pay only 64.80 on the thou
sand for next year.
This Is but one more note In the great chorus of
prosperity which Is being sounded throughout the state.
The Georgian has taken particular pleasure In calling
attention to the various evidences ot prosperity as they
have come to light. They have shown- that Atlanta spe
cifically and the si ate In general have oeen growing and
prospering ns the;' never have before.
Industrially and commercially we are waxing greater
with every succeeding year, and whenever to other evi
dences of growth tl ere may be added a reduction In the
rate of taxation, w» find abundant reason to commend
Georgia to the Invoitor and the home-seeker who chooses
to cast In hla lot w.th us, to grow with our growth and
prosper with our prosperity.
War on Mormonism.
Now that our own gubernatorial race la settled we
are In a position to enjoy the contests In the various oth
er states ot the union.
One of the most Interesting of these Is the campaign
out in Idaho. Judge Stockslager, tho Democratic can
didate, has announced hla platform, which la certainly
an Intereating one. He propoaea to go before the peo
ple on a halt dozen Important Isaues; chief among
which la the elimination of the Mormon church from
political domination. Hardly lent Important gre the
planka dealing with the “six bit" Inaurance companies
and change of venue In criminal cases.
On the anti-Mormon Issue Judgo Stockslager ex
pects to win the feminine vote, Idaho being one of the
states where equal auffrage prevails. To the Georgia
cltlxen it sounds strange to hear ot a political candidate
going before the people begging for the woman vote
on the ground that he has taken a firm stand for the
Integrity ot the home. Judge Stockslager hai to meet
local conditions, however, and the woman vote of Idaho
la to be seriously considered. The firm anti-Mormon
stand, he forcsoes, will lose him virtually all the Mor
mon vote, but he fully believes "that this Aatne vigorous
anti-Mormon plank will draw many a gentile Republican
vote. Heretofore the _antl-Mormon plank In our plat
form has been so much less pronounced and emphatic
than It Is this year that mnny Republicans who would
have voted tbe Democratic ticket In order to down Mor
monism did not do so, as they were not sure just where
the Democratic party stood on this Issue. This year there
can be no question. It Is also believed that hundreds of
women voters, Republicans and Democrats alike, will
support the ticket Just on account ot this plank In tho
platform."
This same Issue Is Involved in another plank,
which favors the passage of a law whereby prosecuting
attorneys may bo granted a change of venue In the trial
of criminal actions against Mormons. Judgo fltock-
ilager la the author of this plank. Together with all his
associates on the-supreme bench he attempted to get
such a law pnscsd by tho last legislature, but failed.
The third chief plank ot tho 8tockslager platform
deals with the attitude of certain Insurance companies
which sustained serious loss In the Ban Francisco dis
aster. Becauso of their refusal to pay dollar for dollar
and their attempt to compromise all claims on a basis
of T5 cents on the dollar, these companies have como to
l)o known ns "six bit" concerns. Judge 8tockslsger pro-
|K>ses that Idaho shall take a stand with 8an Francisco
and refuse to permit any “six bit" Insurance company
to contlnuo to do business or to enter the state.
The Des Moines Register says that with such a plat
form It Is to be seen that Judge Stockslager Is going to
wage a campaign that will he l>oth vigorous and pictur
esque. The Idaho campaign will be a center of Interest
In n year that promises much excitement In several
other localities.
Many of the younger children In Jerusalem saw
snow and Ice for the first time In their life Iasi February
One child came In with a piece of Ice and said: “I have
found a-piece of glass, but It Is very cold."
London has five regularly built open-air pulpits from
which there la preaching, and the results have been so
good that other churches are considering the question of
having such pulpits built upon the outside of their edi
fices.
Growth and Progress of the New South
Our Iron and Steel Markets.
The production of pig Iron In our Southern territory show's some Improve
ment. Quotations of the product, however, are steady, though for a few days
recently an effort was made to bring about an advance and a higher price was
named. Sales made In the past two weeks range on a basis ot between 316.26
and 313.60, No, 3 foundry, with the latter price the maximum except for a
few lots which stipulated Immediate delivery and carried other regula
tions. A large amount of Iron has been sold In the put two weeks under
313.50, No. 2 foundry, u the basis. There Is a good inquiry for the product
still being received In this territory, but the prices do not appear to be
Inclined to go above the 318.50 rate. However, at that, price the manu
facturers are accepting orders. The probable make for the first three
mdhthi of the last half of the year has been sold ahead and some busi
ness booked for the latter part of the period mentioned. The deliveries
will be made just as fast as the railroad cars can be procured and men can
load the product. There will be no accumulation In the Southern territory
at all this year, and the Indications point to practically barren furnace
yards at the beginning of the coming year. The consumers Indicate by
their Inquiries the need for a large quantity of Iron for this yfaris melt
yet. The consumption throughout the South Is healthy and the outside
shipments are strong: Selling agencies throughout the country announce
that Southern Iron Is being looked to for delivery during the latter part of
this year and the first of the coming year. In the Southern territory sev
eral furnaces which have been under repairs tor some time will shortly be
manufacturing Iron again. The make'is somewhat better than It has been
In 'three or four months. The prospects for an Increased output are very
bright.
Quotations will remain firm during tho balance of the year. An Im
provement Is expected, 814 per ton iron, No. 2 foundry, being the hope
of the larger companies for the coming month. Special analysis' Iron and
special brands command a better price than the regular quotations.
In rolling mills circles conditions are picking up'again. Puddling de
partments are on In three of the larger mills In the Southern territory,
laying In a good stock of muck for use In other departments. It may be
the second week In August before the finishing department In the big mills
will again resume operation, and then a long and steady operation Is
looked for.
Cast Iron pipe concerns In the Bouthern territory report good business
and successful operation.
Machine shops and foundries aro doing nicely, though there Is room for
some Improvement In the prospects.

At the time when Shakespeare and the

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
From CollUr's for July 7.
In 'M when BUI came forth
To slug the Money Bully,
Tbe Nation gnsped from flouth ti
North:
Good gracious, ain't he woolly?"
Ilut since we've kilted the Kilter Cow
Ami raised the ({olden Heifer,
The “Cyclone from Nebraska" now
Is like nu April sephyr.
'Twlxt William Jen-
Nlngs Itrvnii thru
And WIIIIjiiii Jennings uow
Thera Is a dlf-
Ferencs, ns If
The world bail changed, somehow.
For latterly he’s seen some life
Ami censed to travel steerage.
He's taken fissl with silver knife •
From plates of British |»eerage:
He's tucked lionet!th his massive chin
Fine napkins, beiunicd and crested.
And gone to teas nud luncheons In
An evening coat low-vested.
'Twlxt William wild
And William mild
The gulf Is nearly weird;
To put It frank*
Is low nnd vulgar gammon:
He fe.-trs ton much Reform will mike
. . menllon "Knelnltsin,"
Bill whispers: "Hush!" nnd touches
And reads his catechism.
When Rill was keen
For "Sweet sixteen"
Her hand he arc!*'** prayed;
Rut now he tr's
Those goo-goo eye*
Upon another maid.
For William's drenms of power haws
brought
Koine hankerings nptMlIIng.
And half way ronud the world h#

New York, Aug. 30.—Thst they had
experienced sn esrthqiiake wa, the
firm conviction ot the guests of the
Waldorf-Astoria, who were awake ear
ly this morning, when a huge piece of
stone coping fell from the roof and
wrecked the glass canopy over the
Thirty-third street entrance. In its
descent the huge stone crashed through
the glass' canopy and was shattered
Into many pieces on the sidewalk. One
fragment llew Into the street, striking
an empty cab, badly darning the-side
Fortunately, no person was. near at
the time. The crash, however, quick
ly drew a large crowd, and half a
dozen policemen arrived on the ground
thinking there had been an explosion.
The hotel management put a force of
men to work at once to clear up the
debris, nnd a request wns to made to
the police, to make no report of the
accident.
Love counts more thnn riches to
pretty Loir Allee, typewriter, so when
her employer. Dr. William Real Derlfft,
60 yeara old and a millionaire, aakea
her to marry him, she replied simply:
"1 do not love you nnd cannot marry
you," and sought another place. Miss
Lois Is but 1*.
Although his ambitions are centered
In politics, Jnmes O. Blaine, third, has
token n position as a clerk In the day
nnd night hnnk on Fifth avenue. His
salsry Is 36 a week.
"Young Blaine strongly disapproves
of banking as his future profession,"
said sn official of the bank. "His de
sire Is to get Into politics. He worship,
the memory of his grandfather and
would rather oe a United States sena
tor than amass millions."
In the meantime he Is faced by the
problem which most successful young
Americans have to solve—the making
of a* living, and he has buckled down
to It In earnest.
Gallantry does not go In’yacht rac
ing, even with so chivalrous a South
erner as Pembroke Jones. So, though
Mrs. Alfred O. Vanderbilt sailed her
yacht Caprice In the race for 30 footers
off Newport, Str. Jones beat her with
the Carolina, Just as though she had
been a tnun.
Camilla Adams, valet to Julius
Fleishman, wants to have the million
aire brought In off the high seas and
compelled to give up the trunk of his
employee. Adams was given a two-
hours’ shore leave off Fleishman's
yacht. He did not show up on time,
and the yacht sailed away Without him.
All hla clothes were on the yacht and
he wants them back.
