WIND ON THE FREE LIST.
Congress seems to have put the
wind on the tree list, too, along with
sugar and iron and the other things
Nothing else can explain the unpre
cedcnted rush of that article into
this country from Labrador and
Manitobia and the territory of Great
Bear Lake.
Os course the rush of foreign pro
ducts might be expected from those
countries nearest to ns and most
accessible to our markets. The
Canadians and Esquimaux and the
while bears have long desired to
trade us their greet output of hliz
zards in the production of which
they immeasurably surpass all the
rest of the world.
It seems that the white bears and
the Esquimaux were about ruined
by an overproduction of blizzards
and frozen attuosphe-e and as soon
as they learned that congress had
made wind free they dumped their
entire stoi kon us at once. There
js no earthly chance for our Ameri
can wind producers to compete with
the Esquim tux mills, because the
quality of the article which wc have
just received is very inferior and is
produced from materials with which
we are entirely unacquainted.
Sugar we can expect from Cuba
andiron products from England but
we must always look t.> the Cana
dians for blizzards and fresh air.
SUMMERVILLE’S BANK.
The News this week states that
the bank of Summerville will be
closed on Feb. 12th and that Mr.
Smith its principal owner will move
away.
The News very properly refers
with regret to the closing of the
bank,and urges the cit zens of Chat
tooga to buy Mr. Smith’s stock and
keep the bank open.
Summerville has for many years
been one of the oest business towns
in Georgia and its citizens should
net allow its reputation to sutler
by the closing of the bank.
The late statement of the bank of
Calhoun shows an interesting com- i
parison with that of Summerville- '
Both were started about the same
time with the same capital stock,
and in point of business both towns
have been regarded as about equal.
By its annual statement the Cal
Bonn bank shows a clean profit of
SI,GOO, which wo'dd be hard to beat
for a panic year.
Summerville cannot afford to do
without its bank, and if its citizens
allow it to be closed they wi.l make
a mistake.
GORDON IN PHILADELPHIA.
General John B. Gordon delivered
his famous lecture in Philadelphia a
few days ago and is thus compli
mented by the Times of that city:
‘•Eloquently voicing the spirit of
reun ted brotherhood between North
and South, and honoring the memo
ry of both the Blue and the Gray
benea'h the one flag of the Stars
and Stripes, General John B. Gor
don, of Lee’s old army, now United
States Senator from Georgia, review
ed at the Academy of Music last
evening the ‘ Last Days of the Con
federacy.” The fall of that forlorn
cause was tragically set forth from
Gettysburg to Appomattox, but not
as a rehearsal of battles and cam
paigns. The gallant general strove
to picture against that background
of gloom for the South,the character
of the American soldier, his devoted
patroilism to duty, his bravery und
martyrdom, Lis grim humor triumph
ing ever the deepest despondency,
his wonderful fellowship, drawing
even the foes into friendship upon
the border lines of battle. As the
friend and comrade of Lee, the gen
eral of one of those two wings that
guarded him to the last, he bad
many stirring and inspiring anec
dotes to relate of that last act cf
the great conflict; but his lecture
from opening to close was really a
panegyiic upon the true American:
ism which distinguished ‘-Yauks”
and ••Johnnies’’ alike, and makes
North and South one indissoluble
brotherhood and nation today.”
Since the death oi Air. Jay Gould,
and the revelations concerning the
magnitude of his estate and the
amount ot current taxes paid there
on, there has been a rev vat of the
discussion of the propriety of some
form ot pursuing legislation which
should prevent escape from pnb'ic
burdens by rich men. or which
should at least over'ake them at
death, if not before. Mr. R T. Col
burn, who has devoted much time
to the study of this question, has
evol ed a plan which will do this,
and sets forth his plan in his recent
essay, on ‘‘Taxation of Large Es
tates.” issued in the series of Pub
lication- of the American Acade < y
of Political and Social Science. Ah
he says, the excuse offered by these
men for their avoiding pat ing taxes,
is that they fear the money will be
put to corrupt, instead of good, n<-c
essary, and philanthropic uses, lie
then fore incorporates in tiie model
law which he has drawn up and ap
pended to the p.-per, a plan for the
ci cation of a special board or conn
cil whose duty it shall lie to devote
the proceeds of all inheritance
taxes to the work of masinjr society
belter and happier.
According l<> Mr. Astor’s Pall Mull
Gazette, “u m in at Birmingham, ( U
S. A.), has been libed $lO for greet
ing the Chief Magistrate in thestreet
with 'Hello! old boss.’ This mode
of address hears the stamp of repub
lican simplicity,and is,l believe,pop
ti’ar in the States. But in this case it
whs clearly bad in (act as well as in
form. It is not only rude, but in
accurate, to call a Mayor a ‘hoss.’ ’’
This U a sample of 140 proof Anglo-
American sterilized wit. If Mr. Astor
nad only known that our ‘•mare’’
was a Eox, it is appalling to con
jeeture what he might have perpe
trated.—Birmingham News.
A Topeka dispatch says that Mis.
Lease has grown tired of politics
and will become a fruit raiser in Cal
ifornia. The lady’s elfoits at rais
ing official plums in Kansas have
not been attended with the most
brilliant success, it is true; proba
bly because she acted on the line of
the advice given by an eminent,
populist to the Southern farmers
some time ago, to “raise more h—
and less cotion.”
