NO BOUNTY FOB THE SOLDIERS.
According to Circular Issued by
Auditor of War Department,
Bounty Story Was a Pain?
ful Delusion.
The following "Special Circular
Letter," sent to a South Carolinian
who applied for blanks on which to
file claim for a "bounty," as a Span?
ish-American war soldier, seems to
effectually crush all snch hopes:
Treasury Department,
Office of
Auditor of the War Department.,
Washington, D. C., Oct. 8, 1901.
A special dispatch was published in
several of the leading daily papers on
or about Sept 29, 1901, in regard to an
alleged discovery of some old laws by
a Brooklyn lawyer, granting $84 State
and $192 federal bounties to soldiers
for services in the recent Spanish
American war and stating that it
would cost the State about $2,000,000,
and the federal government about $5,
000,000. It was also alleged that some
thousands of cases -were uow before "At?
torney General Knox at Washintgon
for his decision, and that the matter
is expecetd to be settled within the
next ten days.
This dispatch is very vague, and so
far as the United States is concerned
is incorrect and misleading. No such
cases are before the attorney general of
the United States for his action or
decision.
Furthermore, no law has ever been
passed by congress grating any boun?
ties whatever to any soldiers for servi?
ces in the late Spanish-American war
of 1898 and 1899. Certain laws were
passed giving extra pay to such sold?
iers in certain cases, in lieu of a fur?
lough or leave of absence. But in
nearly all such cases the soldiers who
were entitled to such pay have arleady
been paid it.
In regard to bounty due to soldiers
from the United States for service in
the Civil war of 186?-1865, no Tecent
bounty laws have been passed. The
last general bounty law enacted by tho
United States was oh April 22, 1872,
and nearly all soldiers entitled to
bounty under that act, and also under
previous acts passed giving bounty . to
soldiers for service in the Civil "Wari'
have already been paid all the bounty
due them.
It is only necessary to say iii con?
clusion, that there is ito foundation
whatever for any such statements as
set forth inrsaid dispatch, so far as the
United States is concerned, and it is
hoped that those who are interested
this matter wilTnbt be induced to file
worthless claims7 on account of such
misrepresentations.

This good will is natural on the part

all of us have the same feelings, the

Who Will Pay the Margin ?
The last report of the agricultinal
department of the United States, in
referring to the corn crop, presents
some suggestive figures.
The south is a corn consumer.
In 1900 the United States produced
2,105,102,516 bushels of corn.
The south bought its proportion of
this at the prevailing market rates.
In 1901 the United States produced
but 1,133,713,000 bushels-a shortage
of 871,389,516 bushels.
The west will make up this differ?
ence in the charge it will bring
against the south and other points of
consumption.
In this event what will become of
the anticipated profit in cotton?
It is idle for the man who lets an?
other fix the price of his living to talk
about prospering in business. The
highest price ever obtained does not
justify corncrib or smokehouse in the
west. " The prosperous man is the one
that lives at home.
Again, oats was produced in 1900 to
the extent of 809,125,989 bushels: in
1901 onlv 660,757,000 bushels.
Here again the southern man is in
the field as a buyer.
Can he read a lesson in these
figures?-Atlanta Constitution.

The Bible as a Text-Book.
We were much interetsed in the re
j marks of Rev. Dr. R. P. Kerr before
the Richmond Education Association
on Monday night on the subject of
reading and teaching the Bible in the
public schools. We believe that the
children of this land should be taught
the Bible, for, as Dr. Kerr says, it
contains the only code of morals,
j Moreover, we have but recently ex
I pressed the opinion that the Bible is
I the remedy for anarchy. The Bible
is the book of law, and the Ten Com?
mandments, which were delivered to
M?ses, lie at the very foundation of I
all civil law. If the people of this
country believed one and all in the
Bible and followed its teachings, we
should have a land of perfect law and
order, perfect justice and honest deal?
ing between man and man.
But we believe that i% is impractica?
ble under our form of government to
teach the Bible in the public schools
of the land. If that should become
a requirement and a rule of the pub?
lic schools, according to Dr. Kerr's
plan, teachers of . the Jewish faith
.would be required to read the Sermon
on the Mount and to make at least a
tacit confession of the divinity of
/Christ, in which they do not believe.
Moreover, the children of Jewish pa?
rents would be required to listen to
the reading of the New Testament
from the Christian's point of view,
or else they would be retired from
the schoolroom while the reading ' was
in progress, and - that would be a se?
rious interference with discipline and
would cause no end of complications
and confusion. -
' But that is not all. It would be
simply impossible to prevent some very
bigoted teachers from reading the
Bible and teaching"it from "a sectarian
viewpoint, and as surely as the ex?
periment should be tried there would
b? cl?sh?s" between the denominations.
Nor is that'all. There is something
abhorrent to-ns in the thought of
having the children of this land
taught religion by the State. We
think that the great ? danger in the
free-school system is its tendency to?
ward socialism. The prime object
which the founders of this Govern-:
ment had in view was to develop* in?
di vidnaHsm-to* promote independent
manhood. ' They did not design that
the citizens of this ' country should
look to the Government for support;
but/that, thev- should rely upon their
own brain and" "brawn."" Anything
like Government paternalism was ?e
ncranced and discouraged by Thoma's
Jefferson ana* his ?ssociates.
' r?e' believe in the public-school sys?
tem, but within- -.limitations. If the
Government is to assum? authority

Jt is healthful, at times, to get
within sound of a strong man's* voice,
and tb hear "good, old fashioned ' ideas
stated without5 apofogyv
? Such tr man is Mr. F. L. ' Sold?n,
superintendent of the public schools of
Si'L?uis: 'He is in favor' pf miking
the teacher the center of; authority,
and initiating the public into the ?rst
principles of obedience1 thereto. ~ He
holds the interference cf parents with
crank ideas as out of the question.
The' - school ~room con tains a . large
family. It is just as necessary that
these children should be-instrueted . in
submission to rule as that they should
move forward daily in Arithmetic or
grammar. The most powerful agent
of authority is the rod, all the more
needed in controlling some children
because of the absence of it at home.
The pampered child grows up into the
rebellious citizens, and itv is only a
question of time as to when the
penalty will have to be administered.
Well laid on in youth it might dis?
place disgraceful punishment in
maturity. "Freak punishment,"
says the superintendent, "should never
be allowed in the schools. A good,
old-fashioned walloping such as ob?
tained in the times of cur fathers is
the thing when severe punishment is
needed. We still use it in the St.
Louis schools. I believe in suasion to
a certain extent, but there are times
when it falls flat. Then the switch is
mightier than the tongue. The expul?
sion of pupils from public schools for
any cause is a thing I heartily disap?
prove. A change of schools would be
much better. It is the disobedient
and unruly pupil who stands in need
of the school, and educators, have no
right to shirk . their debt to the
public. "
There is no doubt but that plain
hard sense accomplishes more good
than all the coddling of human pas?
sion that can come from dreamers and
impracticables.---Atlanta Journal.

JEFFRIES DEFEATS R?H?M.
An Immense Crowd Sees Ruhiin
Quit in Fifth Round.
San Francisco, Nov. 15.-In one of
the most unsatisfactory prize fights
ever witnessed in this country, James
J. Jeffries proved the victor tonight
over Gus Ruhiin, the Akron giant.
In the fifth round of what was to have
been a twenty round struggle Ruhiin
wilted and then surrendered to his
peer to the disgust of the assembled
thousands. No one was more surprised
at the outcome than Jeffries himself
who asserted that while|be had deliver?
ed one telling blow in the second round
he did not expect to win the victory
so easily. Ruhlin's sole explanation
of the outcome of the fight is that he
received a chance blow which utterly
disabled him and that Jeffries persist?
ed in fighting him low.
While Ruhiin will make no absolute
charge of Jeffries having committed a
foul, he intimates that he was unfairly
handled and injured as a result.
Ruhiin receives the support of his
seconds in this stand, who say that
his was a hopeless case after the
second round.
Almost from the beginning of the
fight Rahlin appeared frightened. The
fight was practically finished in the
second round when Jeffries landed left
hook on jaw that took all fight out of
Ruhiin. His seconds complained bit?
terly, but Ruhiin_ij|si^^ *h?^ h?^was
the victim bf' ?n^'acc?d?nt; Jeffries
walked to Ruhlin's corner, asked what
was the matter, then turned in disgust
and proceeded, to his dressing room
while the ^spectators rose as one man
and cheered thech?mpion while they
denounced Rnhiln as a quitter ' and
fakir. The poKce tumbled into the
ring, stopped two fights in which Cor?
bett, the referee, and officers of the
club were involved.- The utmost ex?
citement prevailed, during which Ruh?
iin made hisjw?'y'ont of the ring.
New York, Nov. 15,-The New Sea?
board company, which has been incor?

pany acquires large; privileges, includ?
ing the' rig?t to build ' and operate
railroad lines, -steamship lines, tele?
phone and telegraph'lines and to deal
in bonds and mortgages. The author?
ized capital of the new company is
$5,000,000, but for the present, it is
said, only $250,000 of capital stock will
be issued. In this company will be
vested the absolute control of the Sea?

NOT PRECEDENTS.
In connection with ,the refusal of
Gov. durbin tte deliver htfjfylot sad
Knley.ttt tte tried for murder in Ken?
tucky ?bme "highly >%s^?em?cT coritem
poaraies have hastened to " 'assure' the'
Courier-Journal that the Governor of
Indiana had many precedents for "his
action. In support of this instances
are cited where ft is plainly intimated
that other Governors have come short
of their duty by refusing to surrender
criminals, or persons charged with
crime. ? . . -
In the proper sense of the term
these are not precedents. No number
of failures of duty is sufficient to
constitute a precedent. No number
of violations of a law operates to
abrogate it. Murders are unhappily
very frequent in the United Staets.
but they do not legalize homicide
with malice aforethought. Nor is
the acquittal of one murderer, where
the evidence is sufficient to justify
conviction, accepted as a reason why
another should not be put upon trial.
? percedent is an act or decision of
such a character as to serve as a
model or rule of action in other simi?
lar cases. This is the only sort of
precedent that merits attention. It
is no excuse for wrong-doing that
others have done wrong at other
places and times and under similar
circumstances. These are not pre?
cedents to be followed, but horrible
examples that show us what we
should avoid.
There are precedents of another
sort in connection with the surrender
of persons accused of crime. There
is always the question whether the
person arrested, or whose arrest is
sought, is the person who is really
accused. While this is more likely
to be a question for a court than for
a Governor, it necessarily enters into
the inquiry. Then there is the fur?
ther question whether the accusation
is properly shown and whether the'
demand for the surrender is in
proper form. All these techinal
questions may be considered without
any necessary implication of a viola?
tion of duty. But it will be observ?
ed that in no case where these ques?
tions have arisen is a precedent for
Gov. Durbin. There was no question
that the Taylor and Finley whose
surrender was asked were the same
Tavlor and Finley indicted for mur?
der in Kentucky. The refusal to
honor the requisition was not on that
ground, nor yet on the ground that
no crime was charged against them,
or that the requisition was not in due
form. Gov. Durbin's objection was
simply that Pe did not like the
quality of Kentucky justice, which
was outside of his jurisdiction. How?
ever, there are many others who do
not like the Kentucky brand or any
other brand of justice. -Courier

An Immense Shortage.
It was known long before the Pan
Aniericcan exposition closed that it
would not pay out, but there is gene?
ral surprise that its expenses exceeded
its receipts by more than $3,500,000.
The exposition was pitched and
carried out on a magnificent scale, and
its patronage fell far short of what
was reasonably expected.
This was due to the fact that so
many great expositions had been held
in this country during the previous
few years.
Another reason of the financial fail?
ure of this great enterprise was the
fact that the countries of Central and
South America did not encourage and
participate in it as they were expected
to, and as several of them had given
assurances that they would.
The Pan-American exposition, in
spite of its big name, was, strictly
speaking, a local enterprise. True, it
was by far the most comprehensive
and magnificent show that any city
ever presented, but the lack of any na?
tional feeling back of it had a great
effect in limiting the extent and
variety of its attractions and attend?
ance.
In the splendor of electrical display
the Buffalo exposition surpassed by
far anything of the kind ever seen be?
fore, not excepting the Columbian ex?
position, or the last world's fair at
Paris.
It is to be regretted that the public
spirited citizens of Buffalo who sub?
scribed so liberally to the fund for this
great exposition and bought its stock
and bonds are to lose all they put up, '
but their city and the country at large
to some extent have been benefited by
the investment.
' It is estimated that $175,000,000 was
brought directly to Buffalo by the ex?
position, and the people of that city
received back ' from many sources a
large part of what they contributed to
the enterprise. There is talk of ap?
pealing to congress to pay the debts of
the Exposition company, but little
probabiity of the success of such an
effort is apparent.-Atlanta Journal.

Port Worth, Tex., Nov. 15.-The
twenty-eighth annual convention of
the* W. ' O.^dR1 U.j l>egan'-its session in
the First Baptist Church at 9 o'clock
today. President Lillian M; N. Ste?
vens, of Maine, was in the chair.
President Stevens spoke in part as
follows :
5 ? While the year has had its sor-,
rows and disappointments, it also has
had its joys and its Victories. Among
the temperance, victories of the past:
year we gratefully record the action of
the senate in ratifying the treaty for
the protection of the African races
and we are reliably told that for 20
months neither Boers nor English in
South Africa have allowed liquors to
officers or men. The good effect of
England's policy in discouraging the
use of liquor in the army is being
felt, and we have reason to believe
that the soldier boys do not feel de?
frauded. The French minister of war
bas sent a message to every command?
ant of an army corps prohibiting the
sale of liquor with an alcoholic basis
in barracks, canteen, in camp or field.
In view of all this it is not at all
strange that the congress of the Uni?
ted States decided that the army sa?
loon in this country must be abolish?
ed. But evidently there is a concerted
plan on the part of anti-temperance
forces to try to prove that the law is
producive of evil results, and testimony
galore to this end is being gathered
and given to the nubile. Meanwhile,
the temperance societies, and others,
are likewise securing testimony of an
entirely opposite character.
"We must make our strongest pro?
test in strongest form against State
regulated vice in the possessions of
the United States."
