air, thereby causing great vacuums into
vrhich the air rushes with a circular mo
tion, and creates a wind which carries
the cyclone with It. He proposes to pre
vent cyclones by draining swamps and
burning dead bodies so as to prevent the
formation of these dangerous gases. He
seems to have no idea that there is any
harm in tbe gas he puts in the papers on
this subject.

The Rate War Question.
Our esteemed contemporary, the At
lanta Constitution, in discussing the an
nouncement of the withdrawal of tbe
|E,ist Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Road from the Southern pool, and the pro
bability of a rate war, reaches the con
clusion that tbe pool is a foolish make
shift, and advises the roads interested In
it to abolish it. We have no fault
to find with this conclusion, or
advice, provided it can be shown that
some other arrangement can be made by
which the interests of those who have
business with the roads and of share
holders will be better served. The pool
has not benefited Savannah. It has been
inimical, ratber, to Savannah's interests.
But we do not wholly agree with tbe
views expressed in tbe following extract
from the Constitution’s article:
The Savannah News has printed an
opinion to the effect that in the event of
a rate war, the Central Road can more
than hold its own. From a superficial
point of view that is undoubtedly true;
but there are other things to be taken into
consideration besides equipment and con
nections. The Central Road is as well
equipped and as wisely managed as any
corporation in tbe South, and yet it is
not in a condition to cripple itself
by entering upon a rate war. It
cannot afford it. The stock of the East
Tennessee is mainly held in blocks
by capitalists, and they can easily afford
to pocket whatever losses may accrue
from the flurry in rates. The stockhold
ers of the Central Road, on the other
hand, represent another class altogether.
The majority of the stockholders are men
and women who have been investors in
the road for years. Some of them have
inherited their investments; some hold
tbe stock as trustees for estates and for
widows and orphan children. Those who
manage the property of such people can
not afford to waste it in a rate war from
which nothing is to be gained but actual
loss—if we may be pardoned the bull.
The three points we take exception to
in the above are, first, that the Central is
prepared only from a superficial point of
view to hold its own in the event of a rate
war; second, that the Central cannot af
ford to engage in a rate war; and, third,
that the Central can gain nothing from a
rate war.
What is there beneath the surface that
impairs the ability of the Central to re
tain what belongs to it in a contest with
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor
gia* The contest will be for the business
of certain territory, and the road that can
hold out the longest will win. The
Morning News has expressed the
opinion that the Central will win
in the event of a contest lor the follow
ing reasons: It is in a far better finan
cial condition than its rival; it is better
equipped; it ha* more and better connec
tions; it has a much shorter haul to reach
the seaboard, and, therefore, can get a
relatively higher rate for carrying freight
to the seaboard; being a home institution
it will be favored to a certain extent, and
it can be run cheaper.
With respect to the second point: Why
cannot the Central afford to engage in a
rate war? The Constitution says because
those who hold the stock cannot afford to'
have their dividends cut off or the price
of the stock to go down. But will a refu
sal to engage in a war of rates save the
dividends and stock? If the Central
maintains its rates and the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia carries out
what is supposed to be its programme,
what will be the result? Will not the
Central lose a very large portion of its
business? In that case the shareholders
will not only lose their dividends, but
their stock will not be worth very much,
and the loss would be permanent. A rate
war means a temporary loss of dividends
and a shrinkage in the value of the stock.
Would it not be better to suffer a tempo
rary loss than a permanent loss? The
question is not whether the Central can
afford to engage in a rate war, but
whether it can afford not to engage in it.
A rate war can l>e avoided, perhaps, by
making concession to the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia, but these con
cessions mean the loss of an immense
amount of business which legitimately
belongs to the Central. They mean more
than that. They mean the gradual ruin
of the Central Railroad system. If re
ports are correct the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia is not only hostile,
but is aggressively so. The probability,
therefore, of making an agreement fair to
both sides is very remote.
With respect to the third point: The
Central has everything to gain by engag
ing in a rate war, provided the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia encroaches
upon its territory and seeks to get control
of its business by lowering rates. To re
main inactive would be a slow death; to
fight and win, and it would win, would be
to secure a firmer foundation for future
prosperity.
Give Savannah a Chance.
Iu speaking of the effect of the sale of
the Brunswick and Western Road to the
Savannah, Florida and Western Road, on
the future of the city of Brunswick, our
esteemed and sprightly contemporary, the
Brunswick Herald, says:
The Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway have no water privileges in Sa
vannah, and here in Brunswick water
privileges may now be secured forslo,ooo,
that they could not secure at all in Savau
nah, or, if so, at an outlay of fully half a
million dollars!
This is a rather remarkable statement.
It will surprise tbe officers of the Savan
nah, Florida and Western. Perhaps our
contemporary meant to surprise them.
For a good long while they have rested
under the belief that their road owned
about hall a mile of the best wharf pro
perty of Savannah. Can it he possible
that they have been mistaken all this
time? The road certainly occupies some
very line wharves, which cost a good deal
more than SIO,OOO.
We haven’t a word to say, however,
against the ambitious little city of Bruns
wick. We want to see her prosper, and
we are willing to do all we can to make
her prosperous.
She certainly has a vigorous and plucky
champion of her cause in the Herald. If
the Herald's efforts are as successful as
they ought to be, Brunswick will cover a
good deal more ground in a few years
than she does now. We hope, however,
that the Herald will not be too hat and on
Savannah.
MistakAtf the Blaineites.
The Blaine people laughed scornfully
when the Independent Republicans an
nounced their intention to bolt Blame’s
nomination. They will soon fall into the
ranks, said the Blaine leaders, who
stnik-d confidently and complacently.
But they didn't fall intQ the ranks. On
the contrary, they are more defiant to
day than they were on the day they an
nounced their purpose to bolt. Their or
ganization is more complete than that of
either of the great parties, and they ap
pear to be more abundantly supplied with
money.
They are sowing the seeds of dissen
sion in the Republican ranks. They are
arraying the stalwart against the half
breed in New York. They have some
documents in store that will do Blaine
more harm than any campaign publica
tion that has yet been made.
They are doing good work among the
Germans, and. after all, the Germans may
determine the result of the election by
voting the Democratic ticket in the doubt
ful States. Tbe Blaineites made a mis
take in despising the Independents.
An interesting incident at yorktown,
X. J., the other day was the photograph
ing of the eyes of the girl, Ella Watson,
who was mysteriously murdered near
that town last week. It was hoped that
the image of the murderer would be pre
served in the retina, hut such was not the
case. French detectives have olten traced
murderers by obtaining their photographs
from the eyes of their victims. A Phila
delphia photographer stood in front of a
cow and shot her a few months ago. The
cow’s eyes were afterwards photographed
and the picture of the man with bis gun
in his bands was obtained.
That was dire vengeance that an Oil
City (Pa.) roan took on the masher who
eloped with his wife and three children
the other day. The wronged husband
overtook the guilty pair, and recovered
the children. The gay Lothario repented
of his bargain, and begged the husband
to take the wife also. This be refused to
do. He thought that it was much better
to turn tbe villain over to the tender mer
cies of a spirited woman than to kill him.
Bntlcr’s Bought Boom.
The picturesque boom for Gen. Butler
for President has all along been regarded
by tbe two principal political parties as
little short of a gigantic practical joke.
There have been so many ludicrous fea
tures connected with it that it has been
laughed at ratber than dreaded, and few
have thought it necessary to make a seri
ous fight against thisextreinelv vulnerable
son ot Massachusetts.
Evidence has now come to light which
goes to make the Butler campaign more
notorious, if not more amusing than ever.
It is stated that his boom was so reluctant
when he ran for'Governor the first time,
after he abandoned the Republican party,
that he was compelled to resort to heroic
measures to give it life and activity.
In other words, it is charged that be
was loreed to hire a large number of can
vassers to secure signatures to a docu
ment requesting him to be a candidate
for Governor. He boasted that 87,000
people requested him to be a candidate.
It is asserted that nine-tenths of the
signers were procured by the solicitation
of the canvassers. One of these canvass
ers, says a New York paper, was inter
viewed Saturday and declared that the
story was true. He was employed at $3
per day to get up signatures. He was
very successful, not on ac
count of Butler’s popularity, but
because the Democrats were anxious to
use Butler to get the Republicans out of
power.' He was selected because he had
a personal following of some 30,000 Re
publicans at that time. This monster pe
tition, accompanied by divers other tricks,
enabled him to get the Democratic nomi
nation. When he was elected it was by
the liberal use of money among his paid
retainers, with whose aid he conducted
probably the best organized political fight
that had been known up to that time in
the history of Massachusetts.
In the present campaign it Is not be
lieved he will have the support of any
considerable number of Democrats, and
the Independent Republicans who have
bolted Blaine’s nomination will certainly
not vote for him. They are solid for
Cleveland. Butler can hardly command
more than 40,000 or 50,000 votes in the
coming election, but this will doubtless
be enough to give the electoral vote of
the State to Blaine, as the Democrats
and Independents can hardly foot up
much over 100,000. Were it not for But
ler’s organization and bar’l it is not
thought his vote in the State would go
over 25,000 or 30,000. Massachusetts
Democrats laugh at tbe idea of his carry
ing the State as preposterous, and if, con
trary to all expectations, he should poll a
large vote he must get it from the Repub
lican ranks. In that event the Democrats
would carry the State, for it is not likely
that the large vote of last year will be
equaled in the Presidential election.
Mahone in Trouble.
It is said that all of Mahone’s Read
juster lieutenants, except Wise and
Brady, have deserted him. Even Gov.
Cameron has given him the cold
shoulder. It is said that the aim of the
lieutenants is to overthrow Mahone. They
are tired of him and his overbearing, dic
tatorial ways. They look upon him
anyway as the man who reached the ze
nith of his power sometime ago, and who
will soon sink into comparative obscurity.
A good many of the rank and file of the
Readjusters are dropping back into the
Democratic party, where they are likely
to remain.
It is only lately that Riddleberger and
Cameron have shown open hostility to
Mahone. Their hostility is so marked,
however, that there is not much chance
of a reconciliation. Mahone appears to
find pleasure in telling his troubles to
McPherson, Secretary of the Republican
Congressional Committee. McPherson,
however, hasn’t much use for him if he
cannot insure any Republican Congress
men from Virginia. Instead of being an
object of hate Mahone promises to become
an object of pity.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Cleveland’s Crime.
Philadelphia Time* Und.).
The London papers no longer support Cleve
land. He committed the awful crime of send
ing a courteous note to the Irish National
Convention in Boston last week. This will
never be pardoned by the London papers.
Blaine sent no such note.
How Cleveland will Withdraw.
Few York World {Dem.).
Sensible people are about tired of the per
sistent repetition lw some of the feebler rural
Blaine organs of the conundrum, “Will
Cleveland Withdraw?” Undoubtedly—lie
will vvttbdraw thousands of votes from J.
Mulligan Illaine, as the daily increasing
strength of the Independenbmovcment makes
manifest.
Sneering at the Irish.
Detroit Free Press ( Dem.).
The Republicans have been so long in the
habit of sneering at the Irish that they can
not abandon the practice even for the purpose
of catching votes for Blaine. Judge Horace
Bussell, of Saratoga, in warning his feliow-
Kepublicans not to lie too confident of the
Irish vote, tells them; “They may come out
with some cock-and-bull story that Blaine
once discharged an Irish girl for going to
mass before breakfast, or something of that
sort, and we shall find ourselves minus the
Irisn vote.” A charming tribute to the intel
ligence of the Irish-American citizeus.
Scraps of Butler's Record.
Philadelphia Record (Ind.).
Benjamin F. Butler was the most violent and
unscrupulous of the impeacliers of An
drew Johnson in 1868. There was
rothing to which this malignant
demagogue did not resort in order to
procure the removal of the President. He
hired spies to dog the steps of President
Johnson's friends and invaded tlie sanctity of
the mails and the telegraph to accomplish his
desperate purpose. At last his colleagues in
the trial were compelled to protest against his
brutal ami villainous methods. Andrew
Johnson was emphatically a man of the peo
ple. During his service in Congress he ac
complished more bv his advocacy of the
homeslead bill and other measures in the in
terest of the worki: g people than the whole
breed of Butlers. President Johnson’s close
sympathy with the cause of the people was
one of the reasons why he was so rcmorsely
persecuted bv such men as Butler, who sought
to usurp control of the government to promote
their selfish and corrupt ends. Now the chief
perseutor of Andrew Johnson parades be
fore the country as the friend of the people!

The Emperor of Russia has lately started

The private circus promises to be an inter

amateur theatricals, the private circus will
enlist the ardent efforts of those who have
nothing better to do, and perhaps serve a good
puroose in becoming an instrument of physi

The tail is flat, with sharp edges. The thrash

of the water, at the same time swaying it
from side to side, until with a swift motion it
is brought down upon the whale with terrific
force, cutting into him like the strokes of a
knife. Sometimes three thrashers were seen
alongside one whale. Mr. Waddell has in his

with four wings and a beard of brown sub
etanse fully three inches long. He has pre
served it in a bottle.

female companion if it hurt much, replied:
“Well, I suppose it did, but I was so excited
because he had his arm right around my neck
that 1 didn’t feel but very little pain.”—Ken

The New York Journal offers to amateur
poets a prize of a bottle of “cherry bounce”
for the liest short poem on the subject. “Why
Did Washington Cut Down the Cherry Tree?”
This is anew departure in the way of com
pensating amateur poets. Heretofore edi
tors have given them the “grand bounce” for
their productions.
It is said that the sanitary condition of Tou
lon is so bad that it catches all the infectious
diseases going. Up to the hour of going to
press, however, it had not caught the base

tlint the town lie torn down and rebuilt.—

“You must think I have no mind at all,”
wrathfullv exclaimed Mrs. Rackett, as she
pau-ed in her sweeping long enough to give a
double concerted glare at the old man. “Good
reason to think so,” retorted Kackett; “you’re
giving a piece of your mind to the neighbors
so often I’m sure you can’t have any left by
this time.”— Wilmington Star.
Henry Watterson’s private poet puts the
fol owing irreverent strain into the mouth of
Maud S.:
I once did love old Billy —
’Twas when I was a filly;
But now I’m mashed severely on old Boh,
I tell you, on my honor,
I’m dead iu love with Bonner,
And I’ll get away with Jay-Eye-See, the cob.
There is a tale about Gen. Butler in New r
Orleans which has never been told in the
North. He placarded the city with bulletins,
ordering this, that and the other, and the
people came to know that every order was
certain to he enforced. A market gardener
of the suburbs drove in one morning with his
little son beside him on his wagon scat. He
saw a placard on a fence. “Johnny, read that
to me,” the father said. “Buy Leighton’s
shirts,” the boy read. “You bet I will, first
store we come to,” said the father. “I don't
want to have any trouble with the Y'ankees.”

Little Nell—“But, mamma, 1 can’t have
a picnic without sending invitations, you
know.” Mamma—“Well, f will write them
for you.” Little Nell—“But they have to he
printed. Jennie Blank’s ma had hers printed,
and there was a ’propriate motto—that’s what
Jennie called it—in one corner. I can’t re
member what it was, though.” Mamma—
“Well, it would not do to use the same motto,
of course. Can’t you think of one?” Little
Nell—“Oh! yes, the verse I had in Sunday
school last week would he just the thing.”
Mamma—“lndeed! What was it?” Little
Nell—“ ‘Go to the ant, thou sluggard.’ ”

As I strolled ou the beach with fair Isabella—
We were friends of long standing. I’d known
her a w’eek—
Was it love or the shade of her gorgeous um
brella
That fluttered in crimson across her soft
cheek?
Hope tugged at my heart-strings and made
me audacious,
For when Coquetry blooms like a Provencal
rose,
It is a sure sign that she means to be gracious,
And bless with sweet favor someone of her
beaux.
So I set me to wooing, both blithely and
bravely,
Caught in mine a small hand in a brown
gant de Suede ,
Snatched a kiss from her lips, and was beg
ging her suavely
To leave out my heart from the list of be
trayed.
When she stopped me. “I’m sorry,” she mur
mured discreetly,
“But, you see, I’m engaged!” and pre
tended to sigh.
While a swift recollection upset me complete
ly—
“ Great heaven 1” I gasped, “I forgot. So
am 1.” —M. E. W. in Ltfe.

his face was, like mine, on the full grin. We

THE CROWD OF PURCHASERS
That thronged onr store last week proved this effectually,
WE PROPOSE
Not only to continue our efforts, but to redouble them, and, low as were our figures
last week, we shall make a still better record this week.
Our Summer Dress Goods Stock,
Our stock of Sun Umbrellas and Parasols,
Our stock of Choice Fans,
Our stock of Laces,
Our stock of Embroideries,

Our stock of Gents’ and Ladies’ Vests,
Our stock of Ladies’ Underwear,
Our stock of Victoria Lawns and Dotted Swisses,
Our stock of Marseilles and Checked Nainsooks,
Our stock of Lace Bobinets and Mosquito Nets, etc.,
Being reduced to more than half that such goods of equal quality can be had else
where, we doubt not our ability to please every one and to be enabled soon to an
nounce the closing sale of the season, for we have determined to dispose ol our entire
summer stock at any sacrifice, so that we shall not be hampered next season with
any stock which we have carried over. We find it to be a very poor policy to carry
stock over from season to season, hence we rather slaughter our goods now.
