THE SUN SHINES ON JIM HAM.
One of the many benefits of the
late campaign was the discovery
through it to the New York Sun of
James Hamilton Lewis. It said of
hi recently:
Hou. John Worth Kern, speaking
pieces in Georgia for the "champion
of the people," has been accom
panied and ovtfsuuued by that many
colored and radiant Cracker, Colonel
J i in Haui Lewis, at present of Chi
cago.
Inevitably Col. Lewis is a native
Georgian. He is u titular native of
ever} state he visits. He has the
happy art of so believing. In fact.
h?' is at the expense of maintaining a
littli- log cabin, the right birthplace
of a statesman, iu every state and
territory.
The nomination for governor of
Illinois having gone by right of sen
iority to I'ncle Adali, Col. Jim Ham
returned from the foggy lowlands of
politics to the heights of beauty,
which are his natural home. He
tosses off a political speech when
ever he is asked, and sometimes
when he isn't, from force of habit.
But it is as the stained glass of fash
ion, the dream of the colorist, the
despair of the sculptor, the brilliant
uioting human landscape, the en
chanted forest, the kaleidoscope of
pulchritude, the picture book in
breeches, that he satisfies every eye.
diffuses taste and popularizes art in
Georgia, aud innocently drives into
the background the excellent Mr.
Kern. On with the pit helmets and
smoked glasses; gaze fearfully at
this strange glory in Atlanta.

Th? colonel was almost au (ait.
1 wore a light colored soft bat, a
Mowing ascot tie of Alice blue in
which there nestled a Jeweled June
bug. an immaculate white waistcoat,
d walking suit of smoke colored cloth
m which there was an artistically
draped handkerchief of sky blue. He
carried a light cane and wore a pair
of yellow chamois gloves. He wore
uo spats.
The charmed Constitution reporter
m-vs iu him "grace personified." He
encourages Governor Hoke Staith ?
"Delighted to see you again: 1 am
charmed indeed to see you" ? he is
also charmed to meet that novelist
and tribune of humanity. Col. Sid
Tapp; he even speaks with a proud
humility of hut "pink azure (pink
coral) whiskers." Everywhere he
gave and got pleasure; he beamed
and was beamed upon. We hope he
will be as good to the forty-five
other states he was born in as he
has been to Georgia.
It is no secret, by the way, that if
Mr. Bryan is elected. Col. Lewis will
be the next ambassador to Andorra.
A SUICIDAL DOCTRINE.
"A few children well born and
cared for are worth more to the na
tion than large families and a high
birth rate. Man is the only family
allowed to propagate its weakest
traits. In the lower orders of life
only the fittest survive." These
statements were made by one of the
best known and most brilliant women
of Cleveland before an audience of
women a few days ago. says the
Leader.
This form of logic is not new. It
sounds convincing but the trouble
with it is that it Is controverted by
the history of mankind. Take a list
of the great men of all time ? men
who accomplished the things which
have left a permanent impress? and
it will be found that a large number
of them were not "well born an<L
cared for." Some of the mightiest
and most brilliant among them
sprang from poverty of the hardest
kind ? were born in homes where
modern Ideas of the correct way to
rear children were unknown. Many
of the leaders In American life today,
financiers, railroad builders, mer
chants, authors, scholars and artist;.,
spent their childhood days amid the
roughest and most unintellectual en
vironment where families of from slv
to ten children were the rule rather
than the exception. More than a few
of these men, giants in an era of
gigantic effort and accomplishment,
would not now so easily carry the
burdens they have assumed were, It
not for physical and nervous tough
ness built by hard conditions In early
life.
The hope of the nation lies in the
large families of the artisan, the far
mer, the laborer. From them will
spring, as in all time past, many of
the mighty men of the future. With
the refinements and luxuries of com
petence and wealth comes a lessened
birth rate too small to insure the per
petuity of the nation. The practical
result of the doctrine advocated by
the Cleveland woman would be race'
suicide.
It is more than likely when we
come to get at the facts concerning
that international trust it will be
found to be an Invention of the stand
patters to discredit Carnegie before
the congressional committee and con
gress In any evidnece he might give
looking to a revision of the tariff.

1 NOTE MO COMMENT OF
NORTHERN NEWSPAPERS j:
Itniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinmiiiiiuiiinumg:
Ketchikan Miner: "It Is officially
announced that Rev. Thomas Jenkins
of 9t- John's Mission has been ele
vated to the high office of Archdea
con for the District of Alaska. This
honor comes to Mr. Jenkins after
years of hard labor, and lies lightly
upon his brow. It is the concensus
of opinion that he Is not only a
priest, but a man of the broadest and
most comprehensive understanding of
things apostolic and secular. Liberal
iR construction, kind and charitable
in mind and nature he is peculiarly
adapted for his mission in life, and
that he has by earnestness of pur
pose without bitterness to any and
love of fellowship for all gained the
watchful eyes of his superiors is not
surprising to his many friends and
parishioners. Mr. Jenkins wiN make
his headquarters In Skagway, leaving
here about the last of the present
month. His new position will bring
him In contact with all parts of Al
aska, and we may, therefore, reason
ably expect to see him semi-occa-s
ionally. Mr. Jenkins' successor as
priest will be Rev. Richard Roe, of
the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania."

Juneau Dispatch: Like a voice
from the past comes the announce
ment that Mr. John Lawrence Sulli
van has Just celebrated his fiftieth
birthday. It is ancient history when
Mr. Sullivan was a champion of the
fistic arena; and yet he was such
champion for twelve long and bloody
years? a more extended period than
had before or has since contributed
to any prize fighter's fame. With
Mr. Sullivan only 50, and with his
record of the misty past, referred to
only by historians and archaeologists,
we begin to appreciate as possibly
never before how time files and men
