Hew York Sun Declares War Upon
Roosevelt.
The New York Sun, which since
the first nomination of McKinley, has
"been one of the staunchest Republican
^pBxponents in the country, and, during
"the McKinley administration of Presi?
dent's term, was regarded as. the ad?
ministrations, organ, has squarely turn?
ed against Roosevelt.* The Sun is con?
sidered the representative of .J. P.
?Morgan's views and capitalistic inter
Hpsts generally, and, since Roosevelt's j
anti-trust campaign has shown a dis
Rgeatisfacton with the administration.
This has reached a culmination in the
following double-leaded editorial in
Its issue of Wednesday last :
President Roosevelt holds that his
nomination by the national Republican
convention, in 1904, is an assured
thing, fie makes no concealment of
Ms conrvictioh, and it is unreservedly
shared by his friends. We think Presi
endt Roosevelt is right
From the day that the President
took up 'his quarters in the White
Bouse, he has never hesitated frankly
to avow his barning desire to be elect
: -ed to the chief magistracy. He has
proclaimed it on all occasions with
engaging candor, and has unreservedly
avowed his intention of gratifying his
honorable ambition by every rightful
means within his reach.
There are strong and convincing
reasons why the President should feel
that success is within his grasp. He
lias used the opportunities that he
Ifoand or created, and he has used
them with consummate skill and unde?
niable success.
When, at Buffalo, over the remains
of the murdered President, Mr. Roose?
velt pledged his honor to the American
: '-people that he would carry on to their I
fruition and conclusion the policies
framed ^by William McEInley, the
whole country rose up at him in accla?
mation and approval Never was an
utterance of a public man more thank?
fully or gladly received. No one
thought for a moment of questioning
3Cr. roosevelt's sincerity, and up to
the present time no one has question?
ed it. There has been naturally, some
difference of opinion as to his ideas
and methods of carrying out Mr. Mc?
Kinley's policies, but no one has
thought cf impugning the President's
honesty in the matter.
Mr. Roosevelt is a self-reliant, self
contained man. He works out his con?
clusions unaided, shapes Iiis lines of
procedure on his own initiative and
depends for his action solely upon- his
own innate convictions of what is good
-ami expedient. Approbative and cor?
roborative counsels he gratefully and
eagerly accepis. Dissuasive and dep?
recatory advice he does not under?
stand.
Keenly sensitive to the drift of pub- .
lie feeling and profoundly impressed '
-by current discussion, the President I
saw his way to the sympathies of the
people and never hesitated for a mo- J
anent. Since the day that he penned ,
-his first message to Congress, there '
lias been no-public act of Mr. Roose- 1
velt's which has not been undertaken '
^and executed with an eye single to its (
effect upon his candidacy. He has 1
done nothing perfunctorily or as a
maa might who was only conscious -.'
that he was President of the United :
* States and that he was doing his duty. ?
*^fit Roosevelt* with that fateful in- 1
irensity of purpose which so singularly
distinguishes his character, has per?
mitted nothing to obscure his vision.
The Presidency by election, as well
as by the decree of* Fate, has never i
"passed from before-his waking vision
for a moment. Now, however, that be
sees himself intrenched in the confi?
dence and in the affctions of the j
American people he permits himself a :
little relaxation.
55ie President has disarmed ali his
enemies." Every weapon they had, new
or old, has been taken from them, and .
added to the now unassailable Roose?
velt arsenal Every popular idol,
W*ry favorite son, stands forth today
incapable of offence. Why should
people wonder that Mr. Bryan clings '
10 silver? What else has he* left to
jsHng to? Has not Mr. Roosevelt
-absorbed and sequestered every vestige
of the Kansas City platform that had
a shred of practical value? Suppose,
that Mr. , Bryan had been elected
President I What could he have accom?
plished, compared wita what Mr.
fiooseyelt has accomplished? Will his
most jjassionate followers pretend for
-<*one moment that Mr. Bryan could have
wneeived, much less i-mforced, any
sach pursuit of the trusts as; that which
| 3tr." Roosevelt has just wrought to a
triumphant issue? Will Mr. Bryan
himself intimate that the Federal
courts would have turned to his pro?
jects the friendly countenance which
they have lent to those of Mr. Roose- '
.reit? v
"Where is "government by injunc
-tion" gone to? The very emptiness of
that once potent phrase is beyond de?
scription I A regiment of Bryans could
not compete with Mr. Roosevelt in har?
rying the trusts, in bringing wealth to
its knees and in converting into the'
palpable actualities of action the
wildest dreams of Bryan's campaign
orators. He has outdone them all.
And how utterly the President has
routed the pretensions of Bryan and
-of the whole Democratic horde in re?
spect to organized labor! How empty
were all their professions, their
montbings and their howlings in the
face of the simple and unpretentious
achievements of the President ? In his
own straight-forward fashion he in?
flicted upon capital in one short hour
of the coal strike a greater humiliation ;
than Bryan could have visited upon
it in a century. He is the leader of
the labor unions of the United States,
and they never trusted Bryan and they
-?ever voted for him. Mr. Roosevelt
^as put them above the law and above
the constitution, because, for him,
they are the American people, and
they proclaim today that they are for
'Mm, to a man : and they are.
Mr. Bryan never could have acom
plished what Mr. Roosevelt has done,
fie never could have acquired the
?oral support that bas been the Presi?
dent's. He lacked the essential
things, the personal force, the dignity,
the individual distinction, and the
.style.
The President is the strong man,
the leader of the masses. There is a
growing feeling that if we do not
seed a strong man now the time is
sear at hand when we shall need
him. Then let us reassure ourselves
ghat he is on hand. People compare
3?r. Roosevelt to Germany's strong
man, her forceful William. They
-?ven compare him to Napoleon.
^Napoleon Bonaparte was a strong
nan, aman for gres.t crises, great
emergencies. Napoleon mowed down
the mob around the Tuileries. But
Napoleon did not incite the mob to
come to the Tuileries.
Rice Culture.
Rice culture is making considerable
progress in Texas and Louisiana,
where in years past put little was
grown, while, strange to say, its pro?
duction has decreased in sections along
?the Seuth Atlantic, where years ago it
was extensively cultivated.
In the new rice belt they seem to
have much confidence in the future of
this industry as a growing and profi?
table one. There was an address deliv?
ered before th6 Savannah Chamber of
Commerce a few nights ago in which
reference was made to rice growing in
Tesas, which suggested the following
editorial by the News:
In the course of his remarks before
the Chamber of Commerce meeting on
Tuesday night Hon* G. Gunby Jordan
referred to the cultivation of rice in
Texas, saying that there was more
money in rice than in the oil wells of
Beaumont. Success in the growing of
rice in Texas, he said, was due to the
new and improved methods introduced
by the "Western farmers who have
moved into that State. They have ap?
plied to rice the same system that is
employed in the West in the growing
of wheat. The land is thoroughly
broken by improved apparatus and the
planting and harvesting are done by
machinery. The same methods of ir?
rigation by means of wells and pumps
are used on the rice lands as on the
dry wheat lands of the West. The result
is large and certain crops. This should
be interesting information for the
farmers of Georgia, and especially
those who own old rice lands. Hiere
are tens of thousands of acres of such
lands near Savannah that are available
for rice culture, many of which were
never profitably planted under slave
labor. They are rich lands and the
only drawback to their being made
productive is the want of intelligent
and reliable labor to cultivate them. ,
The labor question could be reduced ?
to a minimum by the introduction of :
Western methods of farm organization, ,
and there is ample room and oppor- ;
tunity in Lower Georgia and South ,
Carolina for the experiment The j
consumption of rice is increasing every ,
day. It is as wholesome a food as any
grain that grows. The market for it
is ready made and the demand is con?
tinuously strong. . There is a great
opening in this rice section for Wes?
tern farmers.
The Wastes of the Body. ;

bones of a man of average size loses two ?
pounds of workout tissue. This waste can- j
not be replenished and the health and ?

the strength lets down, health gives way. ?

Tlie safe of Rouse Bros., bankers, was
blown open atfer midnight last night
and about $3,500 taken by burglars,
who effected their escape. There were
six men in the gang and it is believed
they left in a stolen rig, owned by

School Taxes in Florida.
Tallahassee, Fla., April 28.-Re?
presentative Long introduced today
a Joint resolution proposing an amend?
ment to the Constitution, providing
that in the collection of taxes a
separate record be kept of all taxes
paid by white and colored tax payers,
and that the school fund derived, from
taxing each race be devoted exclusive?
ly to schools of that race. Thirty-nine
voted for the amendment to four
against it. A change in the Constitu?
tion requires a three-fifths vote of all
the members elected to each house.
Many did not vote on the amend?
ment, ~and it lacked two of receiving
tonrequired majority.
the Cause of Smallpox.
_
.
Boston, April 28.-The announce?
ment of the discovery of the cause of
smallpox was made tonight by Dr. Wm.
T. Councilman, professor of pathology
in the Harvard Medical School, at a
meeting of the Boston Society of Medi?
cal science. The announcement is the
outcome of the investigations con?
ducted by Dr. Councilman, Dr. George
Burgess and Dr. Walter Ramsen
Brinckerhoff, with the co-operation of
the Boston board of health during the
recent epidemic of the disease in this
city. It has been determined that
smallpox is caused by a micro-organ?
ism repesentative of the lowest form
of animal life. This fact serves to show
a relation between smallpox and such
diseases as malaria and to distinguish
it from many other infectious diseases
cused by bacteria.

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT HEDICINE.
MR. ALFRED BRO^N,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says :
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
I Am Now in the Best of Health."
The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvelous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by Dr. Phelps regarding his incompar?
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widei'y
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr. Alfred Brown, 91
O'Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Brown's
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
It proves, too, that the great medicine main?
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masse;.
Mr. Brown says:
"I acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that I have been cured of a
I very painful illness of eight years' standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. I had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the' advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. I was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case. ";
M I was getting worse, and was told I was
incurable. I was indeed in a critical condi?
tion. I could not go from the house alone,
as I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. I could not sleep; anything that
I ate increased my agonies; I was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and despondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at a time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for a time, I am now in the best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God I am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound."
