SAVANNAH , Dec. 17. The reception
of President McKlnley and the members of
bis cabinet by the people of Savannah today
more than equaled In hospitality and com
pleteness o arrangement any previous ex
periences which have marked the presiden
tial trip In the Bouth. The party arrived
from Montgomery at 11 a. in. , reviewed
10,000 troops stationed around Savannal } ,
took a trip down the Savannah river and
was entertained this evening at a grand
banquet , tendered by the Chamber of Com
merce and association ot citizens.
The enthusiasm ot the citizens and ths
15,000 persons who , It Is estimated , came
to the city from the surrounding country
to greet the president was fully equal to !
the demonstrations which have distinguished
the trip In other cities.
Previous to the president's speech a cordial -
dial welcome had been extended to htm by
IX Q. Purse , president of the reception
committee , and by the mayor ot Savannah ,
F. W. Meldrlm.
At the banquet tonight In the Do Soto
hotel , where the presidential party Is stayIng -
Ing , President McKlnley , amid applause , ad
dressed his audience as follows :
"There la cause for congratulation that
with the grave problem before us , growing
out of the war with Spain , wo are free from
any divisions at home.
"Our financial and revenue policies can-
Dot bo changed format least four years , and
whatever legislation may be had affecting
them during that period will bo to Improve
and strengthen , not destroy them.
Country Will lie Secure.
"The public mind can , therefore , repose
In reasonable security , while business will
proceed without apprehension of t > erlous und
sudden changes BO disturbing to the com
mercial world and so distracting to the busi
ness men. All of which Is fortunate for
the country , for every Interest and every
section ot the country. Even these who Jo-
tire other and different policies prefer per-
mancnco to constant change , or what Is
almost as hurtful , the fear of change. There
are happily now no domestic differences to
check the progress and prosperity ot the
country which our peaceful relations with
the whole world will encourage and
strengthen.
"This Is fortunate , too , In another sense.
It leaves the country free to consider and
discuss new questions which are Immedi
ately before us , unbiased by party or po
litical alliances. Thcio now questions are
to bo thought out and wrought out , not In
* spirit of partisanship , but in a spirit ot
patriotism , not for the temporary advan
tage to one party or the other , but for the
lasting advantage of the country. Neither
prejudice nor passion , nor previous condi
tion can embarrass the free action and calf
for the Judgment ot the cltlren. We- have
entered upon new paths. Wo are treading
in an unexplored field , which will teat our
wisdom and statesmanship. The chief con
sideration Is one of duty ; our actions must
be controlled by It , No action Is admissible
which will not aid tbo best Interests ot atl
concerned. With A united country and the
gathered wisdom of all tbo people , seeking
only the right. Inspired only by high pur-
poiu , mov l only by duty to humanity , wa

vented.
In Honor Bound.
"If , following the clear precepts of duty ,
territory falls to us and the welfare of an
alien people require our guidance and pro
tection , who will shrink from the responsi
bility , grave- though it may be ?
"Can wo leave those people , who by the
fortunes of war and our own acts , are help
less and without government , to chaos and
anarchy after we have destroyed the only
government they have had ? After destroying
their government It is the duty of the
American government to provide for them
a better one. Shall we-distrust ourselves ;
shall we proclaim to the world our Inability
to give kindly government to oppressed peoples
ples , whoso future by the victories ot war
Is confided to us ? We may wish it were
otherwise , but who will question our duty
now ?
"It Is not a question of keeping the
Islands of the east , but of leaving them.
Dcwcy and Mcrrltt took them and the coun
try instantly and universally applauded.
Could we have brought Dewey away without
universal condemnation at any time from
May 1 the day of his brilliant victory ,
which thrilled the world with its boldness
and heroism ? Was it right to order Dewey
to go to Manila and capture or destroy the
Spanish fleet and dispatch Merrltt to rein
force him ? If it were duty to ecnd them
there and duty required them to remain
there , it was also clear duty to anulhl'ate '
the flout , take the city of Manila and destroy
the Spanish sovereignty in tbo archipelago. " I
"Having done all that In the line of duty
Is there any less duty to remain there and i
give to the inhabitants protection and our' '
guidance to a better government which will
secure to them peace and order and security
In their life and property and In the pursuit
of happiness ? Are wo unable to do this ?
Are wo to Bit down in our Isolation and
recognize no obligation to a struggling people
ple , whose present conditions wo have con
tributed to make ? I would rather have the
confidence ot the poet , Bryant , when be ex
claimed :
Thou , my country , thou Shalt never fall.
Seas and stormy air
Are' the. wide barrier of thy border where ,
Among thy gallant sons that guard theo
well ,
Thou laugrhcst at enemies. Who shall then
declare
The date of thy deep founded strength , or
tell
How hnnpy In thy lap the sons of men
shall dwell ?
"My fellow citizens , whatever covenants
duty has made for us In the year 1898 wo
mutt keep. "

PontninBter ( icnerul on "The Prcn. "
Postmaster General Smith , in reply to
"Tho Press , " said , In part :
i "This memorable Journey of the president
I In tlio south has promoted one thing and
emphasized another , It has greatly advanced
i the fraternity of feeling between the north
and the Bouth , which entered upon a now
atago when both rallied together under a
common nag against a common foe. It may
not affect them. That was the last and
least of all tbo thoughts connected with It ,
for It wan not thought at all. Thought has
not been the Impulse or purpose of this ad-
, ministration.
"And the other truth that this Journey
lir.s emphasized Is the fact that no problem
confronts us with which this nation can
not successfully cope. We have on our own
soil , among our own people , a problem
greater and more difficult In many respects
tban any which is presented in connection
with the new acquisitions , And yet , we
have seen at Tuskogeo that with patience ,
forbearance and honest purpose this momen-
itoua home problem can bo successfully solved
and this witness Inspire * us with hooo and
faith that the difficulties ot the less com
plicated and formidable ot our new pos
sessions , can with honest statesmanship and
courage bo triumphantly mastered. " >
General Wheeler , amid Intense enthusiasm ,
replied to the toast "Woman , " with a grow
ing , chivalrous tribute , which , though very
brief , touched the hearts of his southern
audience.

When the president's train reachcfl Guy- '

Savannah , the reception committee ot Sa
vannah boarded it and accompanied the
party on the rtat ot its trip ,
D. Q. Purse , chairman of the reception .
committee , greeted Mr. McKlnley warmly. I
When the train reached Savannah at 11
o'clock the Georgia hussars , resplendent
with silver facings , were drawn up to re
ceive the president and a salute was fired
with guns captured at Yorktown and pre
sented to Savannah by George Washington.
Review Tun Thousand Troop * .
In twenty-seven carriages drawn by
white horses the presidential party was
drawn through the streets , black with cheering - |
ing thousands , to the city parade grounds ,
where a stand had been erected. Ten thou
sand troops were drawn up opposite where
the president and the members of the cabi
net atood , on the outskirts of the parade
ground. Held bock by sentries about 10.000
sightseers pressed forward to get a gllmpso
of the soldiers. Mrs. McKlnley remained < n
a carriage near the reviewing stand. In the
shadow of a towering monument : o the con
federate dead lay the left of the long line
of troops. Major General Kelter , In com
mand , gave the signal for the march past to
commence. A sheet of steel flashed out
against the gren background of trees as
the bayonets of the men rose to their
shoulders and the line began to form.
After passing the president , beside- whom
stood Major .Generals Wheeler , Shatter and
Lawton , each colonel came on the stand and
witnessed the march past of his own regi
ment. The sight was grand.
Brigadier General Wbeaton , commanding
the First division of the Second corps , fol
lowed General Klefer. Behind him came tbe
following regiments : Second South 'Caro
lina. Ninth Illinois , Fourth Illinois , Third
Georgia , Third Nebraska , First Texas ,
Forty-ninth Iowa and Sixth Missouri.
Then , with their coats on , the red capes
turned back , came the Second artillery reg
ulars , the First Maine battalion ot heavy
artillery and light batteries F ot the Sec
ond. C and F of the Third. D of the Fourth
and D of the Fifth regular artillery. Each
regiment was beaded by Its band. The men
marched In splendid alignment and looked
in excellent condition. The president stood
bareheaded , acknowledging salutes , while
the crowd cheered at tbe companies marched
by. Colonel Bryan's late regiment , the
Third Nebraska , attracted particular atten
tion. _ It was led by Colonel Vlfqualn , wno ,
aftef'salutlng , stood beside President Mc
Klnley and watched bis men from Nebraska
as they filed past.
In a little over an hour the troops had
completed tbe review and the presidential
party drove oft to the river front. The
streets were lined with people , who cheered
Incessantly.
Down the Illver.
At 2 o'clock the president boarded the
steam pilot boat , J. H. Estlll , and proceeded
down to the Savannah river for about ten
miles. Salutes were fired from wharves ,
every ship was gaily strung with bunting
and their cre yelled lustily as the J. H.
Estlll sped by. Whistles screeched , flags
dipped and until tbe outskirts of the city
were reached tbe river bank was dotted with
groups , mostly colored , who sent cheer after
cheer over tbo water. President McKlnley ,
the object of all ot this enthusiasm , stood
cu tlio starboard eldo ot the eliot boat.
waving bis hat or handkerchief to those on ]
sboro and on other vessels.
About nine miles out the Estlll passed
the United States transport Chester , with
the Fourth Virginia regiment aboard , bound
for Havana , It had been held from going
to sea by a heavy morning tog , which now
had disappeared. The Virginia troops
crowded to the bulwarks of the Chester ,
swarmed In the rigging and waving their
campaign hats , cheered the little pilot boat
to the echo. The president Jumped upon
the rail of the Estlll , and holding on to a
shroud , waved back his acknowledgments
to the troops. The regimental band on
board the Chester played "Yankee Doodle , "
" " and both vessels
followed by "Dixie , on
there ensued such a scene of enthusiasm as
bad seldom been witnessed in this state.
Luncheon was served on board the Estlll
and at 4:30 : o'clock the presidential party
returned and disembarked and was driven
to the hotel , where a rest was taken until
the banquet commenced.
The president is deeply touched by his
reception here and is especially gratified
over the review of the troops. General
Shatter and General Lawton expressed sur
prise and intense satisfaction at the splen
did showing of the volunteer troops in the
parade.

I "The timber culture law Is a decided
failure and it might Just as well be re-
[ 1 pealed by congress , " said John T. Grant , a
farmer from Splnk county , South Dakota.
"When the country in the vicinity of where
I rcflldo was opened to settlement people
went wild over tre claims. Men fought for
them and frequently bid high prices for the
rights. For yean they tried raising trees ,
but they froze out in winter or dried out in
summer , until now , when th re is scarcely
a tree claim in the county. Farmers all
have their groves , but they have abandoned
the hope of ever making the timber culture
act a success. "

Hondnr' ' Meeting of Joint Comtnli-
lon the I-a t Until Jnnunry B.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 17. The mooting of
the Canadian Joint commission Monday next
will bo the last before January 5 , when the
commissioners will reassemble in Washing
ton to conclude whatever treaty they are
able to agree up'on for presentation to their
respective governments. It may be definitely
elated that a treaty covering practically nil
the points under consideration except that
ot reciprocity will be signed.
It Is almost eqvolly * ure that some mat
ters of reciprocal trade will be adjusted and
that these will be fewer In number than the
Canadian commissioners had hoped in open
ing negotiations. Any more definite state
ment than this , It is said upon authority ,
would bo speculation upon very insufficient
basis.

ONE OF TUB UI2ST
Of the Pyramid Pile Cure
Is the fact that It cures every form of
plies without one particle of pain. This de
sirable point Is not obtained by ibe , UJB ot
Injurious opiates which simply deaden : and
paralyze the nerves ot the parts and make
matters worse In tbo long run. 'Bui It is
done solely by its remarkable healing and
soothing effects. *
And , while It thus gives Immedlateirollef ,
at the same time tbe disease Is not merely
checked , but a radical cure U rapidly accom
plished. '
And the point we want to make clear la
that all this is done without a particle ot
pain.
f
This fact Is one reason for the great popu
larity of the Pyramid Pile Cure and con
stitutes one very great difference between
It and almost any other kind of treatment
for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for plica
Is excruciatingly painful besides endanger
ing the life of the patient and In moat case *
U not to be compared with , the Pyramid
Cure , neither in making successful cures
without pain nor in cheapness and lately.
Tbe Pyramid Pile Cure has been befora
the public too long , and Its merits recognised
by too mary people to allow It to be' classed
with tbe many salves , Bupposltorles , pills ,
etc. , and you run no rlwk In trying it , as Is
often the case with new and untried prepara
tions.
If you are ever troubled with any form of
piles or rectal dlicaua do not forget the
Pyramid Pile Cure. Prepared by the Pyra
