CRONJE HAS SURRENDERED Brave Boer General Forced by Overwhelming Numbers to Capitulate Unconditionally. V)L. XV. CRONJE HAS Brave Boer General For Numbers to Capitu ROBERTS STRIKES BLOW Four Thousand Bürghers Lay Down Their Arms at Paardebarg--England Rejoices. General Piet Cronje, the Boer leader, early Tuesday morning surrendered his army of 4,000 men to Lord Roberts, unconditionally. The details of the surrender for which England and Europe had waited anxiously, were received in London in the following telegram from Lord Roberts: "PAARDEBEG, 11 o'clock, Tuesday Evening.—From information furnished daily to me by the intelligence department it became apparent that General Cronje's force was becoming more depressed, and that the discontent of the troops and the discord among the leaders were rapidly increasing. "Ease night the trenches were pushed toward the enemy's laager, so as to gradually contract his position, and at the same time I bombarded it heavily with artillery, which was yesterday materially aided by the arrival of four 6-inch howitzers, which I had ordered up from DeAar. "At 3 a.m. today a most dashing advance was made by the Canadian regiment and some engineers, supported by the First Gordon Highlanders and Second Shropshire, resulting in our gaining a point some six hundred yards nearer the enemy and within about eighty yards of his trenches, where our men intrenched themselves and maintained their position till morning, a gallant deed worthy of our colonial comrades. "This apparently clinched matters, for at daylight today a letter signed by General Crouse, in which he stated that he surrendered unconditionally, was brought to our outposts under a flag of truce. "In my reply I told General Cronje he must present himself at my camp, and that his forces must come out of their laster after laying down their arms. By 7 a.m. I received General Cronje and dispatched a telegram to you announcing the fact. "In the course of conversation he asked for kind treatment at our hands and also that his wife, grandson, private secretary, adjunct and servants might accompany him wherever he might be sent. I reassured him and told him that his request would be complied with. I informed him that a general officer would be sent with him to Cape Town, to insure his being treated with proper respect en route. He will start this afternoon under charge of Major General Prettyman, who will hand him over to the general commanding at Cape Town." ENGLAND REJOICES "Majuba avenged," "Cronje surrenders," "Great British victory," were some of the expressions shouted all over London Tuesday, yet there were few outward signs of the natural joy that Lord Roberts' dispatch really caused. The capitulation of General Cronje had been looked upon as almost a certainly for a week past and enthusiasm found itself discounted by anticipation. The magnificent success of "Little Bobs" is almost overlooked in the fact that it synchronized with the anniversary of Majuba hill and wiped out a dishonor of nineteen years' standing. There was a much more outward display of rejoicing in the provinces than in London over the surrender of Cronja. The Glasgow and Liverpool stock exchanges were greatly excited. The members sang "God Save the Queen" repeatedly and cheered for "Little Bobs." Flags were liberally displayed on the municipal and public buildings in all the large towns. While the afternoon papers all commented upon this happy coincident, they did not forget the splendid bravery of the enemy. The St. James Gazette says: "The splendid courage of the Boers has not been able to withstand any longer the IS WAR PRIZE. Supreme Court Altrusa Decision of Georgia Court in the Abdula Case. In the opinion by Justice Brown, the United States supreme court has decided naval prize money case involving the seizure of the British steamer Abdula. This ship was owned by the Atlas Steamship Company of Kingston, Jamaica, and was leased to a Spanish citizen for carrying refugees from Guantanamo, Cuban. The vessel was captured June 29, 1898, when entering Guantanamo bay, and was condemned as a prize vessel. The opinion holds that the American blockade was effective; that the purpose of the voyage was pecuniary and not charitable. bombardment which few, modern soldiers could have withstood for so many hours as they have days. The influence of the surrender not only upon the situation at Ladysmith, but on the whole conduct of the war will be immense." Already the Briton is taking stock of the situation and measuring the future. There is no disposition to overestimate the success. The government entertains no illusion. As announced by the house of commons, 10,000 additional troops will go out and the effective will be kept near 200,000. Lord Roberts has done more than the capture of 4,000 Boers and a few guns. He is within striking distance of one of the Boer capitals, and is master of a large district of the Free State. He has given a shock to Boer confidence and immeasurably restored the spirit of his own troops. In capturing Cronje he has taken a leader whose presence alone was worth thousands to the Boer cause. The best opinion in London is that the Transvaalers are certain to continue the fight with undiminished valor, but it is not so certain about the Free Staters. Lord Roberts has not allowed the corps of descriptive writers with him to supplement his plain narrative as yet and there are some points in doubt. It is not clear whether the 4,000 prisoners include those taken in small parties before the occupation. What has become of the rest of the Boers who held the Magersfontein lines, and where are the large guns? The smallness of Cronje's force causes some wonderment. Spenser Wilkinson, reviewing the military situation in the light of General Cronje's capitulation, says: "On a moderate estimate one-tenth of the Boer army has been taken out of account by the capture of Cronje. The battle of Paardeberg is a miniature Sedan. The whole of Lord Roberts's army, say 45,000 men, are ready for a fresh advance. The objective must be the next Boer army of importance, which is in Natal. "The next move, therefore, with a view of drawing the Boer army from Natal, implies an advance on Bloemfontein and Wineberg, which would sever the connection between the Boers in Natal and those south of the Orange river." "If the Boars make a stand west of Bloemfoutein, so much the better. With 45,000 men Lord Roberts may be able to destroy a respectable force there. The effect of the Paardeberg victory will probably by a movement northward of the Boer forces south of Orange river. ARE WITHOUT MONEY. Neither of the State Governments at Frankfort Can Draw Funds. Two state governments, completely officered and each claiming to be regular and legal officials, are in Frankfort, Ky., and will remain, each claiming the right to administer the affairs of state till the question is adjudicated in the courts. The only indicous thing about the contests came into the situation Tuesday. As anticipated, the banks refused to recognize either of the contending factions, and as a result both are without money and the state funds are as securely tied up as they could well be. Legislators, county as well as state officials, and all kinds of contractors of the state will have to wait until somebody is authorized by a decision of the courts to pay them and the state will have to wait on what is due it till the courts say who is authorized to receive it. The Democratic state officers have opened offices in the Capitol hotel. The charitable and penal state institutions are among the sufferers. Anplaston's Fifth Cotton Mill. William Noble, John H. Noble and James Keith, Jr., will erect a hundred thousand dollar cotton mill in Anniston, Ala., at once and are arranging for the machinery. This will be Anniston's fifth cotton mill. CAROLINA MONUMENT. Palmetto State To Erect a Memorial at Chickamauga. South Carolina has been tardy in erecting a monument at Chickamauga, but the legislature has made an appropriation of $10,000 for that purpose. A handsome shaft of South Carolina granite will be erected, surmounted with a bronze palmetto tree. The monument will be erected on Suodgrass hill, where the Carolinians fought fiercely, and there will be markers for Kershaw's, Gist's and Manigault's brigades and Culpepper's battery. The work will be completed by September 15th. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 3. 1900. TILLMAN ATTACKS MORGAN. Accuses the Alabamian of Alleged Breach of Senatorial Courtesy. Throughout the session Saturday the senate had under consideration the Hawaiian government bill. The discussion took a wide range, but the basis of it was an amendment offered by Mr. Platt, of Connecticut, as to the appointment and tenure of offices of the judges of the Hawaiian courts. Mr. Tillman of South Carolina embraced the opportunity to deliver a characteristic speech, in course of which he made an attack upon Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, for alleged lack of courtesy, and vigorously opposed many provisions of the bill, particularly those which related to suffrage. "The oligarchy which exists in Hawaii," declared Mr. Tillman, "and which this bill perpetuates is powerful and unscrupulous. It is an autocracy greater than ever existed outside Russia. I sympathize with the senator from Connecticut in his efforts to secure a properly appointed judiciary for the islands—a judiciary, not controlled by the oligarchy which now has its grip on the islands." Referring to an incident which occurred the other day in which Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, declined to yield to Mr. Tillman to reply to a statement made by Mr. Wolcott, of Colorado, concerning the "suppressed vote," Mr. Tillman said: "I have felt indignant at the treatment I received from Senator Morgan. Never in my experience in the senate have I been treated so discourteously by a member of the senate." Mr. Morgan endeavored to interrupt Mr. Tillman, but the latter waved him aside, saying: "I decline to yield to the senator. He has put himself outside the pale of courtesy and consideration so far as I am concerned." Mr. Tillman then explained the circumstances of Mr. Morgan's refusal to permit him to reply to Mr. Wolcott. "When I arose to explain the situation in South Carolina as it was presented by the senator from Colarado," said Mr. Tillman, "the senator from Alabama said: 'No, I cannot permit you to speak now. I'll leave you to fight it out some other time.' It was the first time in my experience that I had ever been refused a hearing in like circumstances. No Republican would have denied me the privilege, because there is no man on that side of the chamber so lacking in courtesy and decency." Mr. Tillman then explained that under the present constitution of South Carolina there were about 114,000 registered voters, 14,000 of whom were colored. Ninety-nine per cent of the white vote in the state, he said, was Democratic. In the summer primaries 90 per cent of the registered votes were cast. At these primaries the contests for the state offices were made. "There is no lethargy in the politics of South Carolina," said Mr. Tillman. "We have as much politics to the square mile as any state in the union. There is no Republican party in the state. The Republican machine is composed of federal office holders who control the patronage and send the delegates to Republican national conventions. The elections in November are simply ratifications of the primaries. Naturally the results being a foregone conclusion only 4,000 or 5,000 voters turn out in each district to vote." After calling attention to the fact that at the general election in Massachusetts in 1890 only 285,000 votes were cast out of a voting population of 665,000; and that at the same'election in Connecticut the vote was 125,000 out of 224,000 legal voters, he said: "Why do they accuse us of the south of suppressing the vote when they are doing the same thing in Massachusetts? Why, we don't do half the devilment in South Carolina as this bill proposes to do in Hawaii. This bill will give four or five years more of contract labor—of slave labor—to the sugar barons, who in remitted duties on sugar will make $8,000,000." In the course of a criticism of the measure Mr. Tillman said: "I do not object to a protection of the whites of Hawaii, but what I do object to is the hypocrisy of those in this chamber who maintain that the people of Hawaii are to be treated differently from those who reside in Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and other southern states." CASTELLANE IN PARIS. The Count Says He Will Sue Figaro For Libel. Count Boni de Castellane, who, with the Countess de Castellane, left New York February 15th on the steamer La Gascogne, appeared in the chamber of deputies at Paris Saturday afternoon. In conversation with the Associated Press, the count said: "I have not yet had the opportunity to consult all my friends, which I shall do before I reach a final decision as to what definite steps I shall take as to The Figaro and De Rodays. However, it has been agreed to institute proceedings against the Figaro for libel." DEATH AT CROSSING Fast Train Dashes Into a Closely Crowded Carriage. FIVE LIVES QUICKLY CRUSHED OUT Heavy Storm Was Raging and Victims Heard Not the Approaching Midnight Express. Shortly after midnight Saturday night the midnight express on the Lehigh Valley railroad struck a carriage, containing seven persons, at Tuttle's crossing, about twenty-five miles east from Rochester, N. Y., instantly killing five of the occupants, fatally injuring another and badly bruising the other. All were members of a family who had spent the evening at a friend's house, near Tuttle's crossing, and were on their way home. Those killed were: Mrs. Amy Smith, forty-eight years old, Bert Smith, twenty-three years old; Miss Miranda Smith, twenty-four years old; Glee Smith, fourteen, and Catherine Smith, eight years old. The injured are Porter Smith, husband of Mrs. Smith and father of the other victims. Gardner Smith, twenty-one years old. Before reaching the crossing the carriage was stopped and Mr. Smith listened for the train, but did not hear it in the howling gale. The horses had just crossed the track in safety when the engine of the express crashed down upon the carriage and its occupants. Gardner Smith, who was the least injured, crawled to a station nearby and secured assistance. The bodies of Mrs. Smith and her daughter Miranda were carried off for a mile on the cowcatcher of the engine. The bodies of the little girl and her two brothers were found near the scene of the accident. ENGINES TURNED OYER. Fireman Killed, Two Engineers Train No. 2. northbound, on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, was wrecked half a mile north of Flomaton, Ala., at 4:05 o'clock Sunday morning, killing one negro fireman and injuring both engineers and another fireman. The train, which was a double header on account of heavy mardi gras traffic, had been somewhat late, and was running at a high rate of speed in order to regain her schedule time. When half a mile north of Flomaton she ran into a switch which had been set for the Pensacola branch to allow a freight train to pass to that division, and which had not been reset for the main line. When the forward engine of No. 2 struck the switch the wheels went between the open points, almost immediately were on the ground. Engineer Copeland immediately applied the brakes, but before the train could be sufficiently checked, both engines had plowed the gravel for a distance of 100 yards, and turned over. BIG BLAZE IN BIRMINGHAM. Business Blocks Burned Entailing a Loss Aggregating $140,000. The explosion of a gasoline stove in the basement of the Metropolitan hotel in Birmingham, Ala., Friday afternoon, was followed by a fire which burned that building and the Hewlett block adjoining, both three stories high, causing a loss estimated approximately at $140,000, the insurance on which amounted to about three-fourths of the loss. The fire spread rapidly, and great difficulty was encountered by the firemen in reaching it. Before the flames were gotten under control everything on Twentieth street from First avenue to Morris avenue was a wreck, but a strong fire wall back of the Hewlett building and the Metropolitan hotel prevented the fire from extending any further toward Annetteeth street. SEWALL MET BRYAN. Rode to Atlanta From Williamson With His Old Running Mate. Arthur Sowall, of Maine, who ran with Bryan in 1896 on the National Democratic ticket, has demonstrated very effectually how high the Nebraskan stands in his estimation and regard. He climbed out of bed in Atlanta at an early hour to get aboard a special train and go down the Southern road as far as Williamson, Ga., to meet Mr. Bryan and have a long friendly talk while on his way to Atlanta. Shortly before his departure for Washington Mr. Sowall said concerning his talk with Mr. Bryan: "I enjoyed seeing Mr. Bryan again very much. "We discussed the political situation briefly. Br. Bryan and I are in perfect accord on all of the issues of the day. If you know what his views are you know what mime are." Tribune.

The general debate on the Porto Rico tariff bill in the house closed in a blaze of glory Tuesday. The galleries were banked to the doors and every seat on the floor was occupied when the rival champions of the respective sides, Mr. Dolliver, of Iowa, and Mr. Bailoy, of Texas, made closing arguments. Each spoke for an hour and a half. The speech of Mr. Bailey, devoted as it was, almost exclusively to the legal phases of the controversy, while it was profound and impressive, did not arouse the unbounded enthusiasm which swept the galleries and floor while Mr. Dolliver was speaking. The Iowan was at his best and his wit, eloquence and sarcasm in turn drew salvos of applause from his Republican associates. Before these closing speeches were made Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, chairman of the appropriations committee, and one of the veterans on the Republican side, made an exceptionally effective speech in support of the bill. Messrs. Carmack, Democrat, of Tennessee; Clayton, Democrat, of Alabama; Kleberg, Democrat, of Texas; Pearce and DeArmond, Democrats of Missouri, had made speeches in opposition to the bill. The debate opened with a twenty-minute speech by Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee, in opposition to the bill. The alternative presented by the bill, he said, was the abandonment of our principles or of our new possessions. The country had been dazzled with the gorgeous picture of empire, yet at the very threshold of the new departure, he said, gentlemen on the other side had been appalled lest the trade which they had looked at with covetous eyes would bring ruin and destruction to American labor. Therefore the new possessions were to become colonies and be turned over to carpet-bagger adventurers. He read from the Republican platform of 1860 to show that it set up the very contention maintained by the Democrats now—that the constitution was supreme in the territories and extended over every foot of ground over which the United States had jurisdiction. Mr. Clayton, of Alabama, created much amusement and enthusiasm by reading a letter written by Chairman Payne to W. H. Curtis, Palmyra, N. Y., January 24, 1900, in which he advocated free trade with Porto Rico on the ground that it would give relief to the stricken island. The letter also contained the following reference to the Philippines: "Under the treaty the Philippine islands are to have free trade with Spain for ten years. We cannot extend these tariff laws to the Philippine islands even if we would." Mr. Kleberg, of Texas, and Mr. Pearce, of Tennessee, also opposed the bill. Mr. Dolliver, of Iowa, closed the debate for the majority. Long and loud was the demonstration which greeted him. CAN CONSOLIDATE. Georgia Supreme Court Hauls Down Important Decision. A decision handed down by the supreme court of Georgia Tuesday morning reverses the judgment of Judge Candler in the case of the state versus the Atlanta Railway and Power company and the Trust Company of Georgia, and allows the combination of the lines of the old Atlanta Consolidated Street Railway company and the Atlanta Railway company, which certain citizens living on Richardson street, in Atlanta, through the state, attempted to prevent in a suit for injunction and receiver filed several months ago. Under the decision the consolidation can be made, which will include all lines in the city except those of the Collins Park and Belt line. PAYING FOR FRANCHISE. Rapid Transit Company Hands Over First InstantUptake The Chattanooga Rapid Transit Railroad Company paid $400 to the city Tuesday, being the first installment of $4,000 assessed them by the city in granting a franchise on a short stretch of street. This is the first money ever received by Chattanooga for a public franchise. Will Meet In Philadelphia. The Students' Missionary Association of the Protestant Episcopal church has elected for the place of its next annual convention the theological seminary at Philadelphia. FIVE LIVES LOST. Captain and Four Little Children swept From Barge and Drowned A dispatch from Providence, R. L., says: A tragedy happened off Narramsett Pier shortly after 1 o'clock Sunday morning, when the barge General Wiley founded during a southeast gale. Captain Harold and four little children were drowned in spite of all attempts to save them. H. M. COMER DEAD Prominent Georgian and President of the Central Railway. PIONEER OF THE CITY OF SAYANNAM His Illness Extended Over Five Months and His Passing Away Not Unexpected. Hugh M. Comer, president of the Central of Georgia railway, died shortly after 4 o'clock Monday morning at his home in Savannah. His illness had endured for five months, and his death not unexpected, as for several days preceding his demise it had been known that he could not long survive. Mr. Comer was conscious to the last. He talked with his sons and other members of his family; gave directions about his servants, even arranging the plans of his funeral. He stated where he wanted to be buried, and then conversed cheerfully about his approaching end. There was no man in Savannah more thoroughly identified with its business interests than Mr. Comer. He was mainly instrumental in having the handsome hotel, the DeSoto, erected, subscribing $10,000 to the enterprise himself, and inducing others to subscribe like amounts. Hugh Moses Comer was born near Clinton, Jones county, Georgia, September 1, 1842. His mother, Mrs. Fletcher Comer, was there on a visit at that time. Shortly after Mr. Comer's birth she returned to the family plantation in Barbour county, Alabama, near Midway. It was there Mr. Comer was raised. Shortly before the war his father died and he ran the plantation. After the war the young man went to Eufaula, Ala., where he married Miss Mary Bates. In 1867 he removed to Savannah and entered the cotton business, the firm being Comer & Bates. Afterwards it became H. M. Comer & Co. His first wife died in 1875. In 1880 Mr. Comer married a second time, his last wife, who survives him, being Miss Lilla Hall, of Wallingford, Conn. The deceased was president of the Central Railway of Georgia, the Ocean Steamship Company, the Savannah Hotel Company, the Georgia Import and Exchange Company of Savannah, the Bibib Manufacturing Company of Macon, and the Columbus Power Company of Columbus. Until a few years ago he was largely interested in cattle business in the west, and the fertilizer business in Florida. He disposed of all these interests. His wealth is estimated at $1,250,000. Flags on the ocean steamship vessels in port and on the Savannah cotton exchange were placed at half-mast Monday on account of the death of Mr. Comer. Vice-President John M. Egan, of the Central railway, sent a circular to all employees of the Central railway notifying them of Mr. Comer's death. He also telegraphed Governor Candler, Judge Emory Speer and others. The Central railway's buildings have been draped in mourning. REWARD IS OFFERED. Insurance Company Will Pay $250 for Apprehension of Kelly Brinsfield. The Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland has offered a reward of $250 for the capture of Kelly Brinsfield, the defaulting bookkeeper of the southeastern agent of the Manhattan Life Insurance Company. The reward was offered through the Atlanta agents of the surety company, Aaron Haas & Son, and will be paid on the delivery of Brinsfield in any jail in the United States. JOURNALIST PARALYZED. Harry Weldon, Well Known Sporting Editor, in Bad Way. Harry Weldon, for twenty years the sporting editor of The Cincinnati Enquirer, was stricken with paralysis early Sunday morning. He is conscious, though unable to speak. The stroke affects chiefly the vocal organs and the right arm, and the latter only partially. His great weight, 300 pounds, is somewhat against him, yet his physicians say his chances for recovery are good. The Subject of Amendment To the Pending Tidancial Bill. A Washington dispatch says: Mr. Aldrich, chairman of the finance com- mittee, offered an amendment to the pending financial bill providing that nothing in the bill shall interfere with efforts to secure international bimetal- ism with the concurrence of the leading nations of the world. Mr. Pettus, of Alabama, offered an other amendment providing that the bill shall not be construed to affect the present legal tender quality of silver dollars coined by the United States.

SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1900. MEN with sensitive feelings should shun the political arena. If they do not act right hard things will be said about them despite their feelings. The college boys and girls have been told to be loyal to their institution. That is grand advice but it is pernicious to tell them to defend anything that is said against the president. Recent events have caused us to say so. The religious-political sheet says that we lied and misquoted sons of the ministers. If we have done so let the ministers misquoted be manly enough to call and see us about it. Our columnus are open to them. We do not think seriously of what this sheet says. If any one doubt that Col Deveaux donated $25.00 to the Georgia State Industrial College and collected $18.75 for the same purpose they can call and see the cancelled checks. We do not care about convincing the doubting editor but only those whom he seeks to mislead. The republicans of Augusta rebuked their postmaster for refusing to carry into effect sacred promises he made, which was the cause of his appointment. The rebuke is just. Politicians must remember that they can not trifle with the public nor either cast reflection upon any class that compose the party. Resentment is just and should be vigorously given. LAST week Chancellor Hill delivered an address at the State Industrial College on Thomas Jefferson. In the course of his remarks he took time to tell the students and others present that education and politics should not be mixed. The president of the college was present as was also "his man Friday." They heard what the chancellor said, but we are sure that they are so bent on carrying their point that they will cast such excellent advice to the winds. IN Atlanta on Monday a white man was accused of attempted assault on a white girl. He was found in a room with locked doors. He was quietly arrested and taken to jail, where a bond of $1,000 was required. There was no excitement about it, nor no crowd gathered to lynch the prisoner, nor has there been any demonstration since. If the prisoner was a black man, the headlines of the papers would have been glowing and he, no doubt, would have been in another world. NEXT Wednesday the state convention will convene in Atlanta. The meeting will be an interesting one. Capt. J. W. Lyons, Col. W. H. Johnson, Hon. H. A. Rucker, and Col. H. L. Johnson will be the delegates from the state at large. The bolters will be on hand to carry out the usual game, but the chief bolters will be unable to have any more voice in the convention than an ordinary citizen. Other than this bolting element the convention will be harmonious in every way. REV. C. MAX MANNING published in this paper last week an article in which he saw fit to make a half hearted explanation in signing Prof. R. R. Wright's statement as to Col. Deveaux and his friends alleged failure to contribute to assist the Georgia State Industrial College, and intimating that he had nothing to deny in said statement. Mr. Manning knew when he wrote the card to THE TRIBUNE that the article he signed his named to published in Rev. E. K. Love's paper was false yet he has not shown the manliness to deny the same, much to our DR. LOVE, the editor of the political-religious sheet has cast the following asperSION on the Negro politicians of this State. He says: "It is seldom that an educated man is found among Negro politicians. They are usually made up of the most ignorant, rowdy and lawless set. They know nothing of the science of government and care less. They are only conversant with raciality, whisky, sons and conspirators against the will of the people. They know and practice nothing else but low, dirty raciality." Did he become a politician to better the state of those whom he here indicts? No doubt they fail d to allow him to "run things", and for that reason he is cursing them out. We view the asperSION coming from such a source, lightly. The politicians of the State know exactly how to treat such a political break. The chief of the ignisfatus tribe of this country is the blatant one eyed senator from South Carolina. He is a stench in the nostril of every cultured person in the United States. His great hobby is to allude to the Negro, and he is never happier nor heard to better advantage than when he is ex crating on this subject. This blatant senator is anxious to have the constitution of South Carolina adopted for the Hawaiian Island and in the course of his heated remarks he admitted that he and his party "Stuffed ballot boxes. We buldozed the 'niggers' and we shot 'em. And are not ashamed of it." And what man of Tillman's ilk would be ashame of anything that is done, which means the degredation of a weak race. GAN our mothers. allow with a clear conscience, their girls of a tender age to be out at nights attending various kinds of entertainments with unknown escorts, or even those whose morals are not the very best? Parents who allow this to be done are committing sins that will blight them in their old age, bringing disgrace upon them and lowering the standard, of our race. We implore these parents to be more careful about the conduct of their children. Make their home environments so pleasant that they will have no cause to go so constantly elsewhere to secure enjoyment, and when they do go, accompany them yourselves, or have a person of good character to do so. Mr. H. M. Comer. President of the Central of Georgia Railway Company, died after a lingering illness on Monday morning. Mr. Comer was one of the most successful business men of the state, and was respected by all classes regardless of station in life. The writer knew him well and somewhat intimately for many years, and know that beneath the inflexible business qualities, for which he was famed that there was a kindness and spirit that commended veneration from all. The family of Mr. Comer have our deepest sympathy. THERE are some of our teachers who do more than draw their salaries. They are truly interested in their work and the child that gets the opportunity to be under the influence of such a teacher is blessed indeed. Keep Politics Out of The Schools. One of the saddest sights that has come before our eyes of late is, that some of our teachers of high schools and colleges have left their schools almost to their fate and turned their attention almost wholly to politics. This is sad, because, above all things, the colored schools ought to be raised above the corrupting influences of politics, and as for that matter, any thing else that is pernicious and unwholesome. A teacher, above all, ought to be pure and unspotted before both pupil and parent, if he is to do the most good. Now, we do not mean that a teacher should not vote or have political preferences and alternatives. We believe it is even his right to advocate, reasonably, a person whom he believes best qualified for office; but to go into an active political campaign, using the methods of the practical politician while at the head of some of our colored schools, is what we believe to be wrong, absolutely and unequivocably wrong. The schools ought to be our fountain heads of intelligence and light, morality and honesty, and if they be corrupted there is no reason why in the future that our whole race may not be corrupted. For the surest way to corrupt a stream is to corrupt its source. In this matter our white friends have set us a wholesome example. They do not allow politics to enter their schools, nor do we believe they would tolerate it for a minute in their schools. Let our people arouse themselves and see that our schools are kept above at least, the corrupting influence of politics.—Progressive Era. The Baptist's Truths. The following paragraphs are taken from the veteran newspaper, the Georgia Baptist: Col. J. H. Deveaux and Col. W. R. Leaken, were elected delegates from the First Congressional District to the National Republican Convention last week. We congratulate our friends upon their triumphant election over the disorganizing elements. We note with pleasure that our old friend Capt. L. M. Pleasant is continued by the Republicans of the First Congressional district, as chairman of the district executive committee. He is true and tried and worthy of the confidence of the people. In the first congressional district Postmastar Doyle of Savannah has been put on a contesting delegation to the National Republican Convention; he is surely anxious to go if the company in which he goes is a crusier by which to judge. The election of Col. J. H. Deveaux as delegate to the National Convention, from the First Congressional District, leaves the field to Col. W. H. Johnson Capt. J. W. Lyons, Hon H. A. Rucker and Col. H. L. Johnson to go from the state at large. This will make among a delegation as could be chosen. "SOUTH'S DUAL SYSTEM." Prof. Young's Article From The Independent. The following excellent article on "The South's Dual System of Education," by Prof. N B. Young of the Georgia State College, was published in the N. Y. Independent of a recent date, and is worthy of careful perusal: That the South has a dual system of public instruction is generally known as is also the raison d'etre. This fact, to say the least, has made heavier her educational burden and more difficult the problem of her illiteracy. This system is managed by boards composed entirely of white men—here and there an exception. This fact is the cause of the appearance of certain evils in that branch of the system devoted to the education of Negro youth. To call attention, in a friendly and a conservative spirit, to two of the most serious of these evils and to suggest remedies for them is the object of this article. The first evil is the too frequent retention of immoral teachers in the Negro schools. The corps of teachers in these schools is not as closely scrutinized, as to morals especially, as the corps of teachers in the white schools. The reason is not far to seek. Being white men, the members of the educational boards, for evident reasons, are not reliably informed as to the status of Negro society, and are, therefore, incompetent judges of the social standing among the Negroes of the applicants for election or re-election to positions in their Negro schools. Indeed, many of them, judging from insufficient data, doubt that there is any de facto "Negro society," that there is any genuine evidence of his coming into a higher differentiated social life. Debarred by any unyielding race prejudice from social contact with him, they know nothing of his present-day fireside life—nothing of its practices, or of its ideals. Especially are they ignorant of the social life of the educated Negro, with whom they come in contact less often than with the uneducated Negro. It requires no argument to prove that those whose duty it is to select teachers should have full and direct information regarding the social status of the intending or actual teacher. His reputation among his own people, if not his character, should certainly be known to them. Fortunately the remedy is as near as the evil is apparent. The Negro patron, just as the white patron, should have direct official relation with all boards that manage separate schools and colleges for him. Where race prejudice yields thus much to reason and fair play, as it does already in some places, he should have representatives on the board. Where it does not yet so yield, there should be selected an advisory committee of Negroes, to be a medium of communication between the board and its Negro constituents. The members of this committee should be nominated by them and confirmed by the board. It is a business matter, pure and simple, and no mandlin sentiment growing out of this or that conception of the inherent or relative worth of race types can rightfully have any weight in its consideration. The second evil is the lax supervision of the work of Negro schools. This laxity, it is needless to say, places that work in its results far below that of closely supervised schools. Negro teachers need the spur and the inspiration of close sympathetic supervision as much as [indeed, more than, for their task is more difficult] their fellow teachers in the white schools; and to deprive them of it is seriously to handicap them and their work. It is an open secret that not only do the white schools, as a rule, get the lion's share of all school appropriations and equipments, and that, too, where the Negro population equals, or exceeds, the white population, but the white teachers also get the lion's share of the professional supervision. This particular phase of the question must be treated as the Scottish dominie treated the difficult scriptural passage which he "gazed squarely in the face, and passed on." However [recurring to the main question.] the blame cannot be wholly placed upon the superintendents of education, but rather upon the conditions that eniron them. One of these conditions is the fact that they are required to supervise a duplex system of schools. This practically doubles their work, and renders it more difficult, even were all other conditions favorable, for them to give both sides pro rata attention. Again, each branch of schools presents problems arising out of conditions peculiar to itself; and a supervisor identified with either one of the races concerned cannot impartially meet and solve them. The remedy for this evil, too, is near at hand. There should be Negro supervisors, or superintendents, for Negro schools. In this connection it can be remarked parenthetically that the public institutions for the Negro's secondary, industrial and higher education, with one or two needless exceptions, are presided over by Negroes, tho yet under the general direction of white trustees for the most part. The same conditions [indicated in part above] which make duplicate schools necessary, make equally necessary duplicate supervisors as well as duplicate teachers. All superintendents of dual schools should have Negro assistants whose time can be devoted wholly to strengthening the class work of the Negro schools, and thus secure in efficient service "value received" from the teachers. To do this requires constant, sympathetic contact with teacher, patron and pupil, both socially and professionally—an impossible task under present circumstances for white superintendents. Unless every precaution is taken by these boards to keep their Negro teachers also professionally abreast with the times, as well as morally clean, a large per cent. of the funds set aside for their Negro schools (certainly larger than the cost of the extra supervision) will be worse than wasted, and the end of these institutions will be proportionally defeated. This remedy is also both practical and business-like. But some one may think that the points raised in this paper are without foundation, because, under the present educational regime, the Negro schools are as carefully guarded and as wisely guided as the white schools. This opinion cannot be substantiated by the facts in the case. And this statement is made in the light of an eighteen years' experience as teacher in all grades of Negro public schools. There are exceptions in those communities where the policy here advocated is enforced in some form. The blame, as indicated elsewhere, cannot be placed upon individuals so much as union the system of political, economic and social ideas under which the Southern people live. Others may think that the Negro, tho a freedman for nearly the score years, is not yet at the place where his wealth, intelligence and moral stamina guarantee his having any such decisive voice in the management of his educational institutions; that the Negro does not desire it. I speak advisedly when I say that there is a strong undertone of opinion that is becoming audible that this right should be granted him. His apparent inactivity in this matter is the inactivity of despair, born of a dogged opposition to his exercising any executive function in public matters. Besides, he meets on all sides that specious argument that, since the money for these schools, comes mainly from the white man's pocket, the Negro should have no voice in determining the methods and direction of its disbursement. He should accept it gladly and silently as a free-will offering from his white fellow citizens. Of course this soothing argument is contrary to the principles underlying civic taxation for the support of popular institutions. As to his ability to manage and supervise his own schools, the query arises, how else can he ever acquire this ability other than by having the fair test of a trial. In these bright days of our new nationalism, when sectional lines are literally being obliterated by the loss of citizen soldiers marching from all sections to carry the blessings of this republic to other climes, would it not be at once a delicate and a prophetic step to grant them (as an earnest of good faith the privileges—rather the rights—here abound), and thus throw around their Negro institutions of public instruction the same professional and moral safeguards that they rightly throw around their own educational institutions? What State or municipal law has the wisdom and the courage to take the initiative in this matter—indeed it follows the initiative already taken by this nation's capital? College, Ga. COL. J. H. DEVEAUX. Collector of the Port of Savannah. Courteous: gentlemauly, cultured, Col. Deveaux is a living example that a man can be a gentleman and in public life at the same time. As refined as he is, there is no man in the party in Georgia who can fight more fiercely when occasion demands, nor is there one who can yield more gracefully to the wishes of the people. He has just emerged from a terrible contest in the First district with flying colors, and will go as a delegate to the National Convention at Philadelphia. Col Deveaux has been collector of the port of Brunswick and is now collector of one the most important southern ports in the United States. He has won his present place as Secretary of the State Executive Committee and one of the leaders of his party by sheer merit and hard work. Born under a southern sky, with an intimate knowledge of the southern people, he has never done anything to make himself persona non grata to the best people of the South, while at the same time he has never yielded one iota from what he conceives to be his duty as a Republican and a man.—Progressive Era. Rambler and Gabe. "Lives of great men all remind us. We can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." This thrilling thought comes o'er me this week when the postman came ladened with letters addressed to "Rambler and Gabe," congratulating us on our column in this paper. Now, me and Gabe are not averse to a little soft-soaping, indeed, we like whole tubfulls of it on wash-days. But that thought of Longfellow's came to me when that package of congratulatory letters came, first, that we are making tracks, that is, Gabe is making the hoof-points on the sand of the street while I rub it out of my eyes; and it is certainly sublime to have a column in the papers and people writing us letters of praise and paying their subscription for a paper that has never missed an issue since it started fifteen years ago. We must be making the life of a great man and a great donkey. Me and Gabe know we are exerting a better influence for good upon the world than a lot of soft-brained dudes and dudettes that walk the streets ATTENTION!

This expression may appear to some a little egotistic but its the gospel truth; nevertheless. FIRST-CLASS WORK, Why Gabe has a lot more brains than some two-legged donkeys that I know, for he knows its his business to bray and does it to the queen's taste at times, but a lot of miserable excuses for men who make bills seem to think it is not their business to pay them. They make fair promises, but have too much of the character of Annanias to keep them. Why, the word of some men, and women too, are not as heavy on the billowy sea of the business world as a piece of cork is on the turbulent waves of the muddy Savannah river. But I started out to give the dudes proper a rap. We have a lot of young men that have been regularly employed in good paying positions for ten, fifteen and twenty years, but have nothing to show for it but their trunks. If you meet them on the street you would readily think they were once substantial business men who had retired on a competency, but follow them home—home! why, they have no home! In some dirty hole which they dignify by calling it a room these miserable make-shifts for men rent, and oft times don't pay for that. All they own here is a trunk, yet for years they have been making from thirty to fifty dollars a month. They are so trifling that no good woman will have them for husbands, and the poor widows who board them, who can recount the anguish of their souls for their losses on these vagabonds? Know What You Sign? Do they stand by the lying circular that each one of them signed against Col. J. H. Deveaux, that he did not do anything to have the college located here, nor his crowd Col Deveaux gave his check for $25.00 for himself and another for $18.75 that he collected from other friends in Brunswick. That was a lie pure and simple and was signed by Revs. C Max. Manning, H. L Haywood, W. A. Doughtry, N. H Whitmire, E. K. Love, C. O. Mitchel, J. S. Wiggins, and others who claim that thinking the document was alright signed it without reading it. Among this number was Revs. T. N. M. Smith, John Crolly, C. C. Cargile, R H. Singleton, Rev. J. B.

The pamphlet contains an introduction of the Doctor especially prepared for the Georgia Baptist by our "J. T. W." and is printed by our contemporary. THE TRIBUNE in a neat and attractive manner. The address, as are all the literary production of Dr. Durham, is an able one. He treats these propositions: 1. Is this country the home of the American Negro? 2. What is his legal status here? 3. What should be the policy of this country towards him? The propositions are ably discussed and a copy of the address should be in the hands of every American citizen. No price is given on the publication, but we unhesitatingly recommend every reader to send ten cents to Dr. J. J. Durham, Savannah, Georgia, and secure one.—Georgia Baptist.

Where to Hunt for the Octopus, A correspondent writes as follows from Rivage de Questichou, a small watering place on the coast of the Cherbourg promontory: "For the last two or three months this coast has been visited by a perfect octopus plague. They have quite ruined the fisheries, and many men have laid up their boats in despair. They devour everything, even crabs, and lobsters any oysters and all kinds of shell fish. The other day a man employed at the large oyster beds near here told me he find that day found one that had eaten eighteen oysters that tide. The shore is strewn with octopus, and the other morning along high-water mark I counted 68 in a distance of 200 yards. A friend here measured one, and it was 5 feet 7 inches across the tentacles, but there are far larger ones than that. Some of the suckers are as large as a two-shilling piece. They are most loathsome beasts. Unless the cold winter destroys them, there will be no bathing next summer along this coast. —Pall Mall Gazette.

Stocking Remedy Company, Chicago, Central, New York, 115 NO-TO-BAC Sold and guaranteed by all dru-gers to CURE Tobacco Habit MANY OPPOSE TARIFF BILL The Porto Rican Measure Proves a Stumbling Block. REPUBLICANS IN CONFERENCE Differences Hard to Adjust---Both Factions Averse to Yielding Their Contentions. A Washington special says: The efforts to unite the Republicans of the house on a PortoRican bill failed again Sunday, and after prolonged conferences, it was stated that matters were substantially where they were after the first meeting. A long conference was held Sunday night at the residence of Representative McCall of Massachusetts, between the committee appointed at a Republican conference Saturday night, representing the Republicans in favor of the pending Porto Rican tariff bill, and a committee agreed upon by those Republicans who are opposed to the measure. The latter committee was made up of Massrs. Powers, of Vermont; Crumpacker, of Indiana; Lorimer, of Illinois; McCall, of Massachusetts, and Littlefield, of Maine. Preliminary to this meeting the opponents of the bill to the number of about ten, had assembled at Mr. McCall's house during the afternoon and determined upon the stand they would take and upon their five representatives. Mr. Weeks, of Michigan, was among those at the afternoon session and he remained with the committee of five to participate in Saturday night's meeting. NO AGRBEMENT REACHED. Propositions pro and corn were made by both sides, but none of those made on behalf of the advocacy of the pending bill amounted to abandonment of the principle of the issue, viz: The right of the United States to levy, a tax on imports from Porto Rico; and as its opponents consider this the fundamental objection to the measure, no agreement could be reached. It was stated after the conference by members opposed to the bill that both sides were practically in the same position as they had been before the meeting, and that there was no probability of another gathering before the conference of Republicans called for Monday night. From their statements it was evident they intended to maintain the position they have held all along, that under the constitution the government has no right to tax the products of territory under control of the United States. It was suggested by opponents of the pending bill that the whole matter be left in the hands of the president with the understanding that-Porto Rico should have free trade with the United States, but this was objected to and nothing came of it. The opponents of the committee bill also suggested that the original bill introduced by Mr. Payne providing-for free trade be substituted on the floor of the house for the committee bill, but this likewise failed to receive favorable consideration by the advocates of the pending measure. Considerable talk was indulged in over the proposition made by the committee bill advocates to fix a time limit during which the tariff of 25 per cent against the imports of Porto Rico shall remain effective, this time varying from two years to an indefinite period, but the opposition indicated their unalterable opposition to any tariff, no matter how short the time of its imposition may be. With a view to meeting some of the objections to the bill, its advocates suggested a change in its title, which would indicate that it was intended as an exigency measure for the purpose of raising revenue, but this also found no favor with the opposition who reiterated their hostility to the bill on principle. One of the advocates of the measure after the conference expressed it to be his opinion that bill finally would become a law with a provision limiting the time during which it shall remain in force. SPANISH FORCE INFERIOR. Dewey Falls To Get Amount of Prize Money Asked For. The United States court of claims has rendered a decision on the claim of Admiral Dewey for prize money on account of the destruction of the Spanish fleet in Manila bay. The court decided against the admiral's contention that the enemy's force was superior to his, and awarded $9,570. The decision excludes the supporting shore batteries, mines and torpedoes in the determination of the enemy's force. Admiral Dewey's claim was for $200 for each man belonging to the enemy's fleet, including those in charge of the fortifications. HOOSIERS HAD NO FIRE. Gas Pipes Frozen and Many Indiana People Suffer in Consequence. A fall from 42 degrees to 5 below zero throughout eastern Indiana within a few hours, Saturday, caused much suffering in the entire gas belt. The pipes were frozen and little or no fire could be had in many homes, there being no wood or coal at hand. Many homes were abandoned and hotels resorted to, while families in hundreds of cases, left home and crowded into houses where there was fire. Character in Finger Nails. In days when superstition was more prevalent than it is now the shape and appearance of the finger nails were considered to have reference to one's destiny. To learn the message of the finger nails it was necessary to rub them over with a compound of wax and soot, and then to hold them so that the sunlight fell fully on them. Then, on the horny, transparent substance certain signs and characters were supposed to appear from which the future could be interpreted. Persons having certain kinds of nails were credited with the possession of certain characteristics. Thus a man with red and spotted nails was supposed to have a hot temper, while pale, lead-colored nails were considered to denote a melancholy-temperament. Narrow nails were supposed to betray ambition and a quarrelsome nature, while round-shaped nails were the distinguishing marks of lovers of knowledge and people of liberal sentiment. Concelted, narrow-minded and obstinate folk were supposed to have small nails, indolent people fleshy and those of a gentle, retiring nature broad nails, Kitchener Is Not a Ladies' Man. Perhaps the most striking trait in Lord Kitchener's character is his disinclination to put a married man in a position of responsibility under him. He appears to hold the opinion that matrimony interferes with business. He backs up his precept by example, for, as everybody knows, Lord Kitchener is a bachelor. Like many a notable personage before him, he does not shine in the society of ladies. It is related that on one occasion he was presented to a certain well-known countess at Calro, and opened the conversation by asking: "Do you find Calro nice at this season of the year?" "Delightful," she replied. There was a pause of five minutes, during which Kitchener tugged thoughtfully at his mustache. Then he said: "Ah, I am glad." Lord Kitchener does not claim to be "a ladies' man." Each package of PUTNAM FADLESS DYE colors more goods than any other dye and colors them better too. Sold by all druggists.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. Deafness is caused by a molluscous or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and the tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be deformed. Deafness is caused by cataract, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Sore Hands 8 Years Cured. Pain So Intense Would Nearly Twist Fingers From Sockets. Hands Puffed Up Like a Toad. Water Ran Through Bandages to Floor. Had to Walk the Floor Until Would Fall Asleep. Fingers Would Peel Like an Onion. Doctors Could Not Cure. Eight years ago I got sore hands, commencing with a burning sensation on my fingers and on top of the hand. When I rubbed them, you could see little white pimples. I felt like twisting my fingers out of their sockets. I had high fever, and cold chills ran over me, and so I kept it going until I was tired out. Nights, I had to walk the floor until I fell asleep. My hands pecked like an onlone, the finger nails got loose, and the water ran out, and wherever there was a little pimple there the burning fire was that happened at least ten times. I am running a blacksmith shop, horse-shoeing, and I would not shut up the shop for anybody, but it was hard. My hands puffed up worse than a toad. When I drove horse nails, the water from my hands ran through the bandage, on to the floor. My customers refused to look at my hand. I had a friend take me to the doctor; he gave a solution of something to bathe my hands. I went to another doctor, I think, for a year. I found your advertisement in a Utica newspaper, and I got the CUTICURA remedies. As soon as I used them I began to gain, and after using a small quantity of them I was entirely cured. I would not take fifty dollars for a cake of CUTICURA SOAP if I could not get any more. I would not suffer any more as I did, for the whole country. Feb. 22, 1988. CASPER DIETSCHLER.
