When Peter showed an anxiety to fight he was rebuked. Britannia rules the wave-When Mr. Morgan waives his rule. The Roosevelt trust busting is all done in the advance notices. Of course the new thresher trust will make the farmers shell out. The harvester men are forming a huge combine-but, hush. Knox might find it out: Why not send General Bragg to Manila? His letters would then he properly censored. Some one seems to have dropped a monkeywrench into the wheels of the Yates-Hopkins senatorial mach ine. The republican campaign book dues not feature the terrible assault the ad ministration made upon the beef trust. Mr. Quay is laid up with a 'tuine foot, but he still has a pair of you hands with which to shake the plum tree. The Tennessee election returns prove beyond a doubt that the Tennes see democracy is not in need of reor ganization. The fishiest part of that restaurant story is that any trust magnate should sneer at Mr. Knox's attitude towards the trusts. Mr. Hanna's Cleveland street rail way interests seem to be experienc ing difficulty in keeping their injunc tions on straight. The man who said that "Language is given us to conceal our thoughts" may have had the republican cam paign text book in mind. By refusing to arbitrate and enjoin ing others from feeding the striking miners the anthracite mine owners ex pect to solve the problem. The newspaper paragrapher that has failed to speak of the Firminta tion of Haytien politics has missed an unusually good opportunity. Mr. Neeley now wants the money he had on his person when arrested and which was taken from him by the federal authorities. Even the arro gant trusts might be benefitted by securing the name of the nerve food Mr. Neeley uses. The news harvester trust come at an opportune time. It will keep the farmers from saving enough money to. make them plutocratic. Mr. Babcock has changed his mind. and he wants it distinctly understood that it is nobody's busin-ess when, why. or how he changed it. The trust are perfectly willing to let the republican party do all that is done to curb the power of the trusts. The trusts know when they are well off. If the republicans are determined to prosecute a campaign of allitera tion they should not overlook the pos sibilities of the "Fatfrying, Fol-de-rol and Fulmination." The president says his tour is to be strictly non-partisan, and all the re publican campaign committees along his route are exerting every effort to make it so. "Mr. Knox is accredited with a de sire to leave the cabinet," says an ex change. Thus it appears that even Mr. Knox may harbor a desire enter -tained by the masses. .Many a trust magnate has said things "at the other table" that has caused American workmen to quit eating-but Attorney General Knox was not ready to interfere. The only difference between the Kankakee, Ill., insane aslyum republi can band and other republican bands is that the Kankakee fellows can play band instruments. It may be that the g. o, p. fat-f ryers will chase the trusts around for cam paign contributions until the trusts' commit the Harry Tracey linish in sheer desperation. The public may be able to realize the full meaning of the horrible an nouncement of an extra session of the senate after pondering for a time on the make-up of the senate. Mr. Morgan is hustling to get his shipping trust all ready to receive the shipping subsidy bounty he expets to secure after he has elected the proper kind of a congress. The Republican campaign book de clares that everything that has been done against the trusts has been done by the Republican party. If this is true the trusts are glad of it. When Mr. Roosevelt said that a good soldier should be anxious to fight' he may have had in mind the feelings! of the Ninth infantry (colored) on a certain memorable day in 1898. People who disbelieve the report that Mr. Roosevelt made five bullseyes with the revolver should not be hasty in forming their opinion. It might have been a pnuematic revolver. Does any wise man believe that a party whose existence and success de pends upon the liberality and favor of the trusts will keep any promise it may make the people to destroy the trusts?____________ Proved Fatal. Charles Mallory. a 19-year-old ama teur bicyle rider, who was throw~n from his wheel in a mixup during an amateur bicycle race at the colisemu cycle track, died at Atlanta Thu rsday night as the result of injuries. which later developed from a blow~ on the head. When the accident occurred Mallory was thrown heavily fromn his *wheel, but to all appearanes w'as not severely hurt, and lef t the track with out assistance. The following day day he was at his place of eiployment, but later suddenly became critically~ ill, and never regained consciousness up to his death.

B ERepublicarn Cardidates to he Norui- 1 natedi in Each Congressional District and a Strong Fight Made. The Washington P'ostsays the atti ude of the president regarding the " ;outhern lRepublicans is not surpris ng in Washington. where his views t ire well known. r. fact. the revivi :at ion of the Republican party in the C ;outh recently has been largely due to a President Roosevelt, who has paid personal attention t+ that section. It is now recalled that some time sc before the tragic death of President Li McKinl y it had been arranged for Mr. T Roosevelt to make a tour through the e souti:h t: acquaint himself with Re- f publican conditions there. le was n carnestly advised to make the tour tt by hooker T. Washington, who is an -t ardent advocate of a complete reor anizat ion of the lrepublican party in ft tie so;bti. As ho slated in his talk ft with Chairman Lyon, of the Texas t Republican State committee, Presi- I t dent 11: sevelt is desirous of avoid- Y in fae ijnal disturbances in the tl ranks (i the southern Republicans, i but he is even more interested in building up in the south a Pepthli- e can party that will conimiii the re spect ofi he blisiness and commercial e intercs s of that sectiop. Ie realizes b that for many years the Republican et machine in each Southern state has been a close corporation. It has been the air of the Southern Republican p managers to admit into their syndi- a cate only enough leaders to till the el federal clices in the state. In many of the southern states it F has been the program of these leaders i to discourage. for inftace, the nomi- u nation of any RIepublican congressman o because, in the event of the election t of the candidate. lie would control the e postotlice' and other patronage and put ther out of business. It will be S remembered that in the last session of congress, when a Republican who clad p made the tight upon 1,!s own respon- r sibility brought bis contest into the a house, Representative Hull read a t severe lecture to the machine of his a state and charged that he had been ti opposed for purely seltish reasons. Mr. Hull, being vice chairman of the o Republican congressional campaign committee, is well acquainted with conditions in the south, and his re marks were based upon actual know ledge. The president, it is said, is also dis- 0 appointed because the Viginia Rte- e publicarps have failed to make domina tions in one or two districts in theb state. Chairman Agnew of the Rie publican state committee in Virgini at1 was not in town Wednesday, but n but when he was here some daiys agon he stated that in the two districts which had been omitted it was utter ly useless for the Republicans to at- c tempt to contest. In eight of the tenu districts, however, a Republican can t diate wll run. Of late years there has been an effort on the part of the Virginia Republicans to capture one or more doubtful districts, and their efforts have not been altogether un- 'A successful. In times past, however, t the conditions which prevail farthers south were noticeable in Virginia, and 0 one year is recalled where the mana-g gers absolutely discouraged the nomi-i nation of a Republican state ticket in t order that they might retain their a position as controllers of the federal b patronage. It is this condition which s' the president desires to remedy. b ie wants the Republican party 'in t b the south. even though it be in a e, minority, to be actuated by unselfish motives aud to proceed upon the same tl lines as the organization in the north. it Thle recent political upheaval in d Louisiana, where men like Wimberly, a; who has been the machine leader, wass given notice of his deposition fromb otlice, is a part of the president's pro- g. gram. He believes that in Louisiana, ~b as in other southern states, there has A been entirely too much attention s iven to selecting delegates and ap- o portioning the otlices and two little n time devoted to furthering the inter- ~ ests of the Republican party. In Ar- P kansas, thererore, there is an entirely a new era, the Republican insurgents, c as they are called, making an effort to ,r break away from the men who have tl itherto had the reins well in hand. h In Alabama, also. under the presi- ti ients intluence, there is to be this i ear an effort to make the Republi- ~ ans a factor in the state. Men of c recognized standing and ability are ~oming to the front and displacing at the ld-time professional oilice seekers. ai [n North Carolina the Republicans p< ire aggressive, and will, as Senator et Pritchard stated in The Post Wednes- ai ay, make a campaign with the pro- P3 :ective principle or their party the Q rincipal issue of the campaign-.a The president believes that the Re- oi mblican party in the south, a section 11: vhich is tast developing commercial- St y, can be raised into a respectability C vhich it has not hitherto enjoyed.

Iauer in his weekly re port says; The temperature was ab normair high during the first, and de cidedly~ cool during the second half of the week ending Monday. August 25, with an average of 7 degrees, a maxi mum of 101 degrees at Anderson on the 20th. Blackille and Longshore on the 21st, and a minimum of 59 de grees at Cheraw and Spartanburg on the 1th. Damaging hail occurred in Anderson, Greenville and Newberry counties, accompanied by destructive high winds, but the injury to crops was contined to limited areas. There was more than a normal amount of sunshine during the first of the week, followed successively by much cloudi ness and then clear weather. Quite general rains fell on the 17th, too late to be reported fir last week's bulletin, and scattered showers oc curred on the 20th, 21st, 22d and 23d, the latter nearly general over the gerater portion of the State. Some points continue to stand in need of rain, but generally the ground has suticient moisture for the present need of crops. In places the rain in terferred with current farmwork, but on the whole it was beneficial to grow ing crops. Late corn continues to make good progress, and with limited exceptions promises fair yields. Bottom land corn isvery line. Cotton failed to share f ully in the general improvement of growing crops due largely to the spread of rust that stopped furthe~r growth, and caused shedding and premature opening, al though on clayey soils there is a new growth that continues to bloom and fruit. The outlook for a large top crop is not promising. except on low spots where there has been plenty of moisture throughout the season. On sandy uplands the plants have put on all the fruit they will do, and are now dying. Cotton is oping rapidly over the whole State. Some correspondents report nearly half the bolls open. Picking is actively under wvay in all sections. but showers and extreme heat interfecrred at times with this work. In places open cotton was' damaged by the heavy rains and high winds. The crop ranges from poor to very good: and this diversity in condi tion exists in all portions of the State, and even in the same townshi ps. The season as whole is earlier than the average. Peas. swveet potatoes and corn im proved. Rice is ripening and harvest has begun in a small way. A Flower Crusade. Several years ago. says The Indian apolis Journal, a flower-loving citizen of Cleveland, 0., organized a club for the ornamentation of the home. Out (if this small beginning has grown the Cleveland H ome Gardening Associa tion. otherwise known as the flower crusade. Children are enlisted in the movement, which is under the man agement of the association. This or gaization distributes seeds among school children. examines the garden exhibits in competition. and distrib utes the prizes, a number of which arc ofered. The seeds wvent to 20.000. homes last year. Not only are-homes l beautiied by these tIowers, but school| yards. Last year the children plantedi in all 170.000 packages of' seeds.1 The results are so evident that the asual observer notes the change in the smoky city, and it is knowvn throughout the Stat~e as the "e~ity of iowers." St. Liuis has now taken the matter up. A botanical club has pre ired a system of seed distribution in co-operation? with one of the seedl omnpanies. The reward offered i this case to the children who are most .ccessful is a diploma signed by the Ior. indicating that the ho lderis Iorty\ of mrit for aiding in the c ieautfy ig of St. Louis.

A plea comes to the women front the udubon Society of South Carolina to ear no birds on thoir headgear. That Ie plea comes just at this time is gniicant. For tile roses that bloom summer hats, be they blue, black, reen or purple, are pathletically crush i and faded; and the feminine heart yearning for tile new fail hats, with ~eir seagulls, egrets, humming birds ad Indian parrots. Here the Andu on Society sends up a protest. The ~agulls, which are now being killed y thousands for use as ornaments, are e scavengers of our bays and har ors. The plumes of the egret are specially sought after; and as the lumage is at its best when nestling, ie naother bird is shot while rearing s young and the orphan family is .stroyed. At a single sale a few years o in one of the large cities 116,490 ins of hlumming birds and 228,289 tdles of Indian parrots were sold ir decorative purposes. From these ets it would seem that the mission of irds is to gratify human vanity. The ndubon Society tells us that to lence the melody of the forest in der to increase the beauty of a wo an's hat is betraying nature for an isignificant reward: and to barter the 3rennial beauty and grace of birds for temporal adornment is a poor bar tin. The And ubon Society of South arolina was organized in Charleston, inuary 4. 19100, with a nembership of iirt y-sig whichm has grown to over two Lndred.

No rule of conduct is less diplomatic in the young man of business than rudeness, althouh some beginners seem to deem the terms "business like" and "ungracious' synonymous; and not a few go out of their way to be sour. abrupt, point-blank and dis agreeable to all and sundry. The theory held by such mistaken persons appears I to be this: That the man who means to wrest success from life must not stop by the way to waste time over politeness. Arguing upon the lines that the world takes each indivdual at his own valuation, the ignorant nincompoop sets himself upas one who has scarcely time to breathe, much less to smile. so vast are the respon sibilities that his important position entails. But he is taking absolutely a mistaken line. His opposite in manners tempers his inexperience with a softened air of diffidence, meets his contemporaries with a smile of greeting instead of with a defiant s(owl, and goes out of his way to be thoughtful and courteous. lie knows the value of making friends, and realizes to the full how bad it is for a young man's future should he earn a reputation for bumptiousness and bad manners. The business king may please himself as to the manner he adopts. To some the reputation of a choleric disposition is useful, for it keeps off tritlers. le who desires not to be jostled must himself jostle others. Such is the modern shibboleth, taught by the storm and strees of existence to the aspirant for wealth and wide prosperity. The old maxim is more subtle, and therefore, less thorougly comprehended. Yet it is a straightforward piece of couusel teaching merely the beauty of each man doing unto others as he would that men should do unto him. Pre sumably, every person prefers to be sboken to with gentle courtesy rather than with brutal insolence, and to do a business not as if he and his cus tomer were bitter enemies, but as friend and friend. Despite this, how ever, there is more than a tendency to ally the haughtiest air to a capacity for commercial qualities.-New York Commercial. Hurrah for the Farmer: Piping times of plenty these should be for the farmers in our great West if the recent government crop report is to be trusted, says the Spartanburg Journal. According to the figures, we shall have invested, when the tields are all cut and the shocks all gathered in, the greatest crop ever known in the history of our agriculture. It will consist, so the otticial estimate runs, of ai corn crop of 2,422,000,000 bushels, 634,000,000 bushels of wheat and 806, 000,000 bushels of oats, an aggregate o'f 3,862.000.000 bushels for the three grains. 'The general effect of the crop prospects is retlected in the way mer chants ip all sections save those in: Texas, where the crops were damaged by the recent droughts, are in the markets as free buyers of goods. Their stocks have been allowed toI run down, and they are buying freely for the trade and taking a bet ter class of goods than heretofore. The feature of the trade is that goods , are wanted earlier than in previous seasons. All the factories are said to be busy. Railroads are having a larger movement of merchandise to tile agri cultural sections than last year, and tratlic generally is fully as heavy as last1 year. Money is plenty and cheap, and the West never had so much prosperi-1 ty in sight. So, hurrah for corn! hurrah for wheat! hurrah for oats: Hurrah for all of us. but especially hurrah for the farsighted, hardworking farmer who planted the crop that has broken the record! In this conntection we would ask why should not the South ern farmer show in this great prosperi ty that has overwhelmed the farmers< of the West? There is but one an-4 swer, and that is that our farmers stick to cotton. while the farmers of the West diversify their crops. Electricity On the Southern. The Southern Railway is titting all its dining cars with electric lights and fans. Some of the cars have already been equipped with the electrical ap paratus and the work is being pushed as fast as the cars can be sent, to the shops. Dining car No. 121, now in service tetween Greensboro. N. C., and Mont gomery, on the Washington and South western limited, is equipped with the fans and lights, and in consequenca the patrons of this train always re joice when they learn that this car is on the run. The electricity is furnished from at dynamo which gets its power from the car axles. The lights are a great im-t provement over the gas lights gener ally in use, while the fans not onily in crease the pleasure of travel in hot weather, but enable the road to keep Its cars in a comfortable condition dnring the winter months, when the excessive dryness caused by the steam a heat often makes the cars feel "stulfy."t Assistant General Passenger Agent r W.

A newly-discovered process for ex tracting gold from ore publicly an nounced at Denver the other day af firms that the present system causes the loss of about 97 per cent. or the gold which might be extracted. Tfit scheme would not attract the atten tion it has done in the city were it not for the fact that Willard Teller, brother of United States Senator Teller and Colorado's greatest expert. has announced himself satisfied that the process is scientific and feasible for the treatment of large bodies of ore. The invention is called the Wynn process after Prof. Wynn, the alleged discoverer. Briefly, it consists of pul verizing the ore, treating it in a tank with chemicals and then extracting the gold by fire. In all chemical processes heretofore invented the gold is precipitated or held in solu tion until extracted by other acids. [n the Wynn process the gold rises with other matter as a scum. On the safe in the office of Mr. Teller is a piece of ore which, accord ing to skilled assayers of Denver, :arries one to three dollars in gold to the ton. Of this ore 1,000 pounds were treated the other day. The re sult was the recovery of $60 worth of gold. At this rate the ore carries $120 to the ton. The fire test loses $117 upon every ton. "I will say that I have gone into this experimentation closely and con scientiously and have reached the bottom," said Mr. Teller. "Every phase of doubt has gradually disap peared and I know the process is a success. I do not say that it will ap ply to all ores, or that its effects are uniformly the same. I do not claim that we know accurately thesspecific treatment that will extract the values apon any set of samples that may be submitted, but we have proceeded far enough .to convince us that we are now ready to pass from the stage of nere experiment to the stage of actual results upon a large scale in the field." LEARNING TO RIDE. Bab? of the Roosevelt !.aUnly Is Being Given Lessons in Rld ing a Pony. There is absolutely nothing as sumed in the love of President Roose relt's family for horseflesh, and there ;as never a prettier sight than the >ther afternoon when Baby Quentin vas put on the back of the spotted pony, held on by a negro boy, and al owed to ride up and down the drives nd walks on the south front of the white house lawn. Archibald showed some inclination to have the pony :ake a livelier gait, but was kept jogging behind the pair, while the 2urse, somewhat out of breath, >rought up the rear. Archibald is already possessed of ~he Roosevelt grace in riding and the spotted pony is not a new toy to him. En fact, it is one of his pleasures to ide about without being held, and ie shows wonderful skill for a little >oy. Quentin, too, showed a rather stubborn inclination, quite commend Lbie in so young a rough rider, to be llowved to ride alone, but as his two small legs stuck out over the round sides of the pony and far too short For a sure purchase, his protestations ended by the negro boy holding fast :o his charge, but keeping up a lively rot to satisfy the baby rider. Sightseeing tourists often stop at :he fence of the south front lawn to watch the antics of the children, but show no disposition to enter into ~onversation with them or in any way nterfere with their p'rivacy. The ~amera fiend stops about the park iow, but since the president's well cnown dislike for snapshots has he-i ome known the children are never Liturbed and he is less pursued than ~ormerly. __ W "me'"* MOORISH PRISON SYSTEM. lultan of Morocco to Begin a Reforwm to Correct a Pitiable and Brutal State of Afairs.

CONIOG tED Surgeon Barris Declres Albany Menaces Health of Sailors., Not Enough Room in the Warship to Seecre Proper Sanitary Co ditions for Crew-Artideial Ventilation Suggested. The United States steamship Al bany, one of the three ships on the European station, and at last ac counts at Genoa, Italy, has been pro nou:ced by naval surgeons unfit for urgecr. M. N. T. Harris, reet:. . eed to the vessel and now (:. cy, in a report to the surgeoun ;.eral of the navy says: "'rom a -:a;:..y point of view this ship. in y op'::.in, is so radically w . g. construction that it is almost impossible to indicate in detail all the changes whieh will be needed to make it a reasonably sani tary vessel. "As a matter of fact, with a large complement required for. the deck and engineers' force of this ship, the space is not in it to meet the require ments of health for the crew. The conditions. 1 think, however, could even now be much improved, but I do not believe they could ever be en tirely remedied. The entire berth deck from the engine-room forward needs ventilation from. the deck. Whether this is feasible from a structural point of view I am not in a position to say. "Artificial ventilation would im prove the condition of the warrant >ficers' quarters, and the wardroom, nessroom; as well as the rooms lo ated in that part of the ship. Port ibie electric blowers should of course be placed in all the living spaces of the ship. The system of ventilation Dy means of which fresh air could be orced into the different parts of the ship should be installed. The air in ill the storerooms, with the excep :ion of those referred to as being ;cntilated, is always bad, though in ,arying degree, according to circum stances. "It is impossible, in my opinion, to >verestimate the danger to the ealth of those who are berthed in he wing passages, should the weath ,r require that the ship be battened lown for several days. With the tem )erature of 136 degrees it is obvious hat people could not live in these paces. In my opinion the reason hat the health of the crew of this hip has been about the average since t went into commission is, in the first )lace, that it has never had its full Complement of men aboard it, and, in he second place, that it has done nost of its cruising in favorable eather. "If these conditions are materially hanged the health of the crew will, a my- opinion, proportionately suf er." MESMERIST SUED BY GIRL."
