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. THE APT QUOTATION AGE LIMIT By MR8. JOHN A. LOGAN.

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.
