The Welcome to Bryan.
Today William Jennlnga Brynn will arrive In New
York city proper and will be the honored guest at the
most notable public reception ever nccorded a private clt-
Ixen In this country.
K he were some 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 of peace. He has con
quered nothing more martial than the minds and hearts
of men and this ty> 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 mnn 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 tbe House of Representatives sent his
name ringing throughout the country, he has challenged
the admiration of the world. He awoke next day to And
himself famous and hlB reputation hns been growing
ever since.
No Oner evidence of the admiration and esteem In
which he Is held could be furnished than by this great
Outpouring of the people to meet him at the gates of
bis native land after a return from a tour around the
world. There Is not a state or a territory In the union—
there Is not n city of any considerable size which has not
sent Its ofllclnl or unofllcial delegation to greet him upon
bis arrival and to participate In the great reception to
be held In Madison Square Garden tonight.
And this outiiourlng Is essentially spontaneous.
There has been nothing "cut and dried" about It. As he
neared home a feeling became more and more manifest
that some such tribute should be paid him upon his ar
rival. The movement has grown dny 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 bo that in the shifting shuttle of events Wil
liam Jennings Bryan will never become president of
the United States. He may fall In the light before the
people have an opportunity to placo him In the chair of
the chief executive. But It will be a benediction for
> him to look br'-k on such a day and such a scene as
that which he Is witnessing In New York, and he can at
least reflect
"'Tia not In mortals to command success.
But we will do more—Sempronlus. we'll deserve tt."
An Evangel of Peace.
Tuesday was tho anniversary of that great apostle
of peace, Grotlus, and the occasion was fittingly cele
brated In the land of his birth.
Hugh de Groot, latinized Into Hugo Grotlus, was
born at Delft, Holland, on April 10, 1583. and died at Ros
tock, Germany, while seeking to return from France to
his adopted country of Sweden, on August 28, 1646. His
influence upon history has been extraordinary, since it
was In his single ntlnd 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
21, though not Anally published until March, 1625. It
is still of authority, and from It may truly be said to have
grown the International peace tribunal at The Hague.
The life of Grotlus possesses many elements of ro
mance. He was precocious to a degree, publishing good
Latin verses when ho was 9, In the university at 12,
editing Capella's works at 16, a doctor of law at Leyden
at 16, historian of Holland by choice of tho states general
st 20, and entering on his studies of International law
at 21.
Religious difficulties between the orthodox Calvin
ists and the romonstrants reached their climax In 1619,
when Grotlus, as a remonstrant, was sentenced to Im
prisonment for life for his liberal opinions and confined
In the fortress of Lovestetn, near Gorcum. His devoted
wife was permitted to share his captivity only upon the
condition that she herself remain n prisoner, and she it
was who contrived his escape lu 1621.
The books Grotlus had read and wished to ex
change for others were sent at regular Intervals with
the washing In a chest to Gorcum. Repeated Inspec
tions having disclosed nothing but books and linen, Gro-
tins himself was placed In the chest, and In April, 1621,
was free at last and In Paris. There, though suffering
from extreme poverty, he composed hts great work.
Sweden availed herself of his manifest talents, and
he served as Swedish ambassador to the court of France
from 1635 to 1646. In this last year he obtained hts
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, st hip magnifi
cent country home and mourns over the wife of his
youth. For thirty years she was his "chum" and com
panion, and now bo sits all day beside the unburied
body at his magnificent estate, Drcamwold, In Scttunte,
and paces the floor of his bedroom most of the night.
Each morning he covers the hermetically sealed coflln
with flowers, and there remains with It until dark, alone
and silent.
His grief Is heartrending and shows no sign of be
ing less acute today than the day his wife died suddenly,
nearly a month ago. He has abandoned business com
pletely, having left all his vast Interests on "the street"
to his private secretary, Edward F. McSweeney, and all
attempts to Induce him to resume his activities ate fail
ures.
After Mrs. Igiwson's funeral In Boston Mr. Lawson
had the body taken to Dreamwold and there placed in
tbe living room of tbe little English cottage on the
^grounds which Mrs. Lawson had named "The Nest."
here it remains, Mr. Lawson refusing to permit Its
'burial. All his daughters are with him, and bis son,
Arnold, Is also at Dreamwold. Scarcely any others are
permitted within the grounds.
Whatever may be said of the motives which actu
ated him, it cannot b» denied that Lawson was the
pioneer among the reformers of the day. It was hts
aggressive exposure of the "system” and Its methods
which precipitated the Investigations which have been
going on and he was largely Influential In bringing about
the legislation regulating corporations.
He Is essentially a lighter, and it seems strange to
think of him as bowed and crushed by an overmaster
ing sorrow.
He has the tenderest sympathy of tbe people of the
whole country.
Georgia’s Reduced Taxes.
The reduced rate of taxation decided upon by the
governor and comptroller general on yesterday Is another
gratifying evidence of the substantial progress and pros
perity of this grand old state.
The reduction of 10 cents on a thousand dollars
Is not in Itself very considerable to be sure. But the
fact that a state like Georgia, in the face of tt^e liberal
appropriations made by tbe last general assembly, can
reduce tbe tax rate at all, is worth more than passing
attention.
The appropriations made by the legislature were all
of them well considered and applied to purposes where
they would do the most good. The establishment of ag
ricultural colleges In erery congressional district was In
Itself enough to commend the last legislature to the con
fidence and esteem of the people, but this Is only one
of the many good causes for which appropriations were
made.
There could have been no good grounds for complaint
It the tax rate for the next year had been slightly In
creasod, but the contrary la the case and the people of
the state are called upon to pay only |4.80 on the thou-
ann<l for next yeir.
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 larlous evidences of prosperity as they
have come to light. They have shown that Atlanta spe
cifically and the mate In general have neen growing and
prospering as 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 ndded a reduction In the
rate of taxation, w) And abundant reason to commend
Georgia to the investor and the home-seeker who chooses
to cast In his lot w th us, to grow with our growth and
prosper with our prosperity.

Ing attention.
Our Iron and Steel Markets.
The production of pig Iron In our Southern territory shows 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 of between 212.26
and 111.60, No. 2 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 past two weeks under
>13.60, No. 2 foundry, as the basts. 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 112.60 rate. However, at that price the manu
facturers are accepting orders. The probable make for the first three
months 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 ; far's 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 for 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 Arm during the balance of the year. An Im
provement is expected, 114 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.
Caet Iron pipe concerns In the Southern territory report good business
and successful operation.
Machine shops and foundries are doing nicely, though there Is room for
some Improvement In the prospects.

War on Mormonism.
Now that our own gubernatorial race Is settled we
ars In a position to enjoy the contests U the various oth
er states of tho union
One of the most Interesting of these la the campaign
out In Idaho. Judge Stockslager, the Democratic can
didate, has announced his platform, which la certainly
an Interesting one. He proposes to go before the peo
ple on a half dozen Important Issues; chief among
which Is the elimination of the Mormon church from
political domination. Hardly less Important are the
planks dealing with the "six bit" Insurance companies
and change of venue In criminal cases.
On the anti-Mormon Issue Judge Stockslager ex
pects to win tho fomlnlne vote, Idaho being one ot the
states where equal suffrage prevails. To the Georgia
citizen It sounds strange to hear of a political candidate
going before the people begRlng for the woman vote
op the ground that he hae taken a firm stand for the
Integrity of the home. Judge Stockslager has to meet
local conditions, however, and the woman vote of Idaho
Is to be seriously considered. The Arm anti-Mormon
stand, he. foresoes, will lose him virtually all the Mor
mon vote, but he fully believes "that this same vigorous
anti-Mormon plank will draw many a gentile Republican
vote. Heretofore the .anti-Mormon plank In our plat
form haa been so much leas pronounced and emphatic
than it la this year that many Republicans who would
have voted the 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
dupport the ticket Just on account ot this plank in tho
platform."
This same Issue- Is Involved In another plank,
which favors the passage ot a law whereby proseouting
attorneys may be granted n change of venue In the trial
of criminal actions ngnlnst Mormons. Judge Stock
slager Is the author of this plank. Together with all hia
associates on the supreme bench ho attempted to get
such a law pasesd by the last legislature, but tailed.
The third chief plank of tho 8tocka!ager platform
dealt with tho attitude ot certain Insurance companies
which sustained serious loss In the San Francisco dis
aster. Becirtiso of their refusal to pay dollar for dollar
and their attempt to compromise all clalmt on a basis
of 75 cents on the dollar, these companies have come to
be known ns "six hit" concerns. Judge Stockslager pro
poses that Idaho shall tqke a stand with San Francisco
and refuse to permit any "alx bit" Insurance company
to continue 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 be both vigorous and pictur
esque. The Idaho campaign will be a center of Interest
In a year that promises much excitement In several
other localities.
