SPECIAL. FEATURES IN THE
MORNING NEWS.
Special features are all the time being added
to tin- Morning News. The atm is to make
It the most desirable newspaper iu the South
rom every standpoint. Arraugements have
been perfected by which the sermons of Hr.
T. He Witt Taimage will appear in Its columns
the morning after their delivery. These ser
mons are now eagerly read in all parts of the
country.
Arrangements have also been made for a
■weekly European letter from Mar O’Kell
the celebrated English correspondent, and for
a weekly letter from “Eli Perkins” (Melville
I>. Langdon), the well-known humorist, who
is about to make a tour of the Western States
and Territories. He expects to travel 24,000
miles within the next six months, auil will
see many things winch his graphic pen will
describe for the amusement of liis readers.
Our regular Washington and New Y'ork cor
respondents, besides their interesting special
dispatches, will furnish weekly letters, which
will be bright, gossipy, and full of Interest.
The special features of no other Southern
journal exceed those of the Morning News,
The New York Herald continues to im
prove. It wax for many years regarded
fcs a political weather-cock. Now it is
making an average reputation as
weather prophet.
It seems to be a ‘‘ground hog” case with
Senator Sherman. Tuis is very sad for
him, especially as it is more than doubt
ful whether he will be able to get the
meat.
It is rumored that Mr. lilaine feels the
necessity ol an immediate vindication,
and wants to bo elected Governor of
Maine. A Maine vindication would hardly
vindicate the plumed knight.
The Prince of ilaltenberg will prove
himself to be a base ingrate it he does not
soon request the poet laureate to write
a piece to embody the noble sentiment.
‘•What is home withouta mother-in-law?”
If Rev. Ham Jones could only be in
duced to pitch his gospel tent towards
Atlanta, probably the adjournment of the
General Assembly would be somewhat
hastened. Legislators cannot stand
much hot shot.
Gen. Logan is determined to work tb*
Grand Army of the Republic for a'l it is
•wo:th. lie believes the section of the
constitution of the order that makes It
non-polltlcal should be nullified withouta
moment’s delay.
The reason Mr. Rlaino done not write
more than five pages per day on the
second volume of his book is probably
owing to the fact that be has to boll a pot
of soft soap ea”h morning before sitting
down to bis lilerary labors.
A oompanv has been organized at
Niagara Kalis to save tourists from the
rapacity of the hacknicn and other local
brigands, and to have them robbed in a
■vstemaftc and enlightened manner. A
grand hotel will be erected at once.
Pistols, butcher knives, and razors can
not be denied to the colored jieople of H*-
vannab. The average colored citizen
must be allowed all b:s rights under the
( jaw. and outside the luw where it can be
dodged, no matter what the effect may be
on the mortality report* of the city.
Ex-Post master Genera) Prank Hat
ton tb'nks that “Hlaok Jaok” Lo
gan would have been elected had
he been at the head of the Re
publican ticket, and that he Is a much
stronger man before the country than the
plumed knight, yet tho latter certainly
exposed a very strong and odorous record.
The Kail t oad Commission.
The position which the Railroad Com
mission is understood to occupy with
respect to the bill to amend the Railroad
Commission law excites surprise and
comment. Why the commissioners
! should take an active part in oppos.
■ ing the bill It would be difficult,
perhaps, tor them to explain. There is
i no intention to legislate them out of office
or to reduce their salaries. No interest
of theirs is to be affected in any way. So
far as they are concerned the only thing
tbo bill does is to limit their power.
But it seems that they don’t want to
have their power limited, and why?
Does not the tenacity with which they
ding to the extraordinary powers with
which they are clothed indicate that they
entertain for the railroads no good
Will, and that they want the law to re
main as It is. in order that they may hold
the railroads within their grasp to do
with them as they please—to punish
them, perhaps, for daring to attempt to
recover control of what belongs to them ?
Was not the commission created with
the understanding that it should hold the
scales o( justice evenly balanced between
the railroads and the people, and was it
not understood that the railroads were to
he protected against the demands for
ruinous rates as well as the people were
to be protected against burden
some and discriminating rates? Of
course it was, and yet it is
said that the commission is directing the
opposition to the bill to amend the com
mission law. How can the commission
take such a position as this and dis
charge its legitimate duties impartially ?
is it not, by going outside of its duties to
oppose the railroads, showing that itjs
hostile to the railroads, and, if hostile,
how can it discharge its duties im
partially?
This is a matter for members ol the
1-egislature to look at earetully. The
railroads charge that the commission
lixes rates that are pushing them towards
bankruptcy. Is not the proof of tbi“
charge found In the present hostile atti
tude of the commission ? It is the extra
ordinary powers which the commissiou
enjoys which makes it inimical to the
railroads, and it will always be so as long
as Us powers remain as they are.
The commission ought not to have taken
sides In the present contest belore the
Legislature. It ought to have held itself
aloof, volunteering nothing, but furnish
ing such Information as it could when re
quested.
The Public (Schools.
The thought that strikos one In reading
the report of the Superintendent of the
public schools, Mr. Baker, is that there
are not near as many of the children of
the county, who have arrived at the
school age, in the public schools as there
ought to be. His report shows that in the
city there are 3,923 white and 3,822 colored
children who ought to attend school. It
seems, however, that there are only 2,2*7
white and 923 colored children enrolled in
the schools. In the whole county there
are 13,801 children who ought to he In thg
schools, but the report shows that, ns a
matter of fact, only 4,889 are enrolled as
pupils.
What is the reason of this? Are the
school facilities not sufficient? More than
three-fourths of the colored children of
the city, who are of a proper age, do not
attend school, and nearly two-thirds of
all the children of the county are growing
up without the advantages of education.
Is not this a condition of affairs to be de
plored? If education is good for some It
is good for all.
We have always been the advocates of
tho public schools, and we not only want
ample school facilities provided, but we
waut the children to attend the schools.
Those who have the management of
school matters ought to inquire at once
why so many of the children are out of
lhe schools. If for want ol accommoda
tions, then additional aooemmodai ions
ought to be provided, and if for other
'•auses these causes ought to be removed
as far as possible.
The fuller the attendance at the schools
the higher will the morality of the com
munity be. There will be less crime ami
inure thrift. We can't afford to permit
so large a percentage of the children of
our city and county to grow up iu Igno
rance.
The Phosphate Bill.
It Is evident that tho fertilizer business
1 will assume much larger proportions in
the South than it has yet assumed. Every
year the demand for fertilizers increases,
aud every year many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars are sent North to pur
chuso them. Why not, as far as possible,
keep this money tu the South? That was
Representative Gordon’s idea, doubtless,
when he introduced the bill, whioh passed
the House a few days ago, to encourage
search for phosphate rook and pbosphatic
deposits.
li Is believed that there are vast depos
its of fertilizing material in this State.
The evidences of its existence are said to
be quite numerous.
Representative Gordon’s bill secures to
any discoverer on public land, or in tbo
navigable streams of the State, of phos.
phate rock or phosphatio deposits, the ex
clusive right to remove the same for a pe
riod ot ten years. The area to which the
exclusive right will apply will extend
live mill-sin ail directions from tho spot
whore the disoovery was made. The bill
will, doubtless, stimulate search tor phos
phatio deposits.
Counterfeit United States currenoy is
said to bo unusually plentiful in New
York lust now, and even the number of bo
gus dollars of our daddies in circulation is
not small. There are doubtless a good
many business men there who would wel
come the advent of u good supply of $1
and 42 bills, if well executed, whether
they should be as genuine as they ought
to be or not.
Editor Dana, of the New York Sun, Is
•till complaining that Republicans are
filling tnauy offices which of right belong
to tbo Democrats. Editor Dana Is eu.
titled to Democratic thanks, more eapecij
ally as be does not pretend to claim that
the members of his late alleged “People's
party” are entitled to any of these offices.
The Msssachusetts Club of Boston Is
agitated over the question, “What is the
true attitude of the South In a political
sense?” It I* possible that Senator Hoar
has not been able to convince the niein.
her* of the olub that bis ideas in regard
to tho political attitude of the South are
correot.
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1885.
Senator Pugh and Silver.
Senator l’ugh, of Alabama, is con
vinced that, notwithstanding numerous
evidences to the contrary, tho South Is
strongly in favor of a continuance of the
present silver policy. He thinks that the
South is just as anxious as the West is
for more silver dollars.
It would be difficult for the Senator to !
point to anything which seems to.|
justify his opinion. There tire]
no meetings held anywhere in the Sontlt i
to give expression to public sentiment on' ]
this matter. There have been only two j
gatherings of importance in the South, at.j
which this silver question was peaenteji, j
sinoe Congress adjourned. One of them
was the Atlanta commercial convention,
and the other was the national cotton
exchange meeting. At both of these meet-,
tugs the present silver policy was almost
unanimouslv condemned.
There are some Southern statesmen who
think, perhaps, that if silver becomes the’. 1
basis our currenoy money will be much
cheaper than at present, and that the
South, therefore, would be able to pay her
debts much more easily.
If the present silver policy is continued
they will find that they have made a mis.
take. In the first place, tho South is not
so deeply in debt as she was a few years
ago, and, in the second place, she would
have to pay a great d“al more than she
does now for the supplies that she so
largely draws from tho North and West.
if the coinage of silver dollars is con
tinued at. the present rate it will not be
possible much longer to pass the silver
dollar, or the silver certificate, at its face
value. The real value of the silver dollar
is now only 800. The price of silver has
steadily fallen, notwithstanding that we
tiave been trying to bolster it up by the
purchase of $2,00:1,1KK) worth of
silver a month. The effect of the
policy of this government has
been to stimulate the production of silver
in Mexico and other silver-producing
countries. On account of the increased
supply it is pretty certain that tho price
of it will go lower, even though this gov
ernment continues to buy it and store it
in its vaults.
Senator Hugh will find out whon the
silver question comes up in Congress
next winter that national bank people are
not alone in demanding a silver policy
that will greatly reduce the supply of sil
ver dollars.
II there should be a sudden refusal to
take silver for more than its market value
the loss to the people would he enormous.
The government wouldn’t lose very much,
because the dollar it pays out cost it
much less than a dollar. It will not be
able much longer, however, to do that
sort of business. A depreciated currency
never permanently benefited any
country.
'l’he New York Herald , corn men tine; on
the effort being made to sell some Nash
ville city bonds in New York, says: “Our
people recently turned a cold shoulder
upon the new bonds of Georgia, and they
assume a similar attitude toward these
bonds from Tennessee. Bonds issued by
or in repudiating States will not be wel
come here until the people of those States
bring forth deeds meet for repentance by
paying their repudiated debts.” The Her
ald seems to have forgotten how eager
New York capitalists were for the new
Georgia bonds and how they actually paid
a premium for 4V, percent, bonds. Tnere
was no cold shoulder turned on Georgia
bonds. Even Henry Clews got very hot
when the honest New Yorkers showed
such high regard for Georgia's credit.
Tbo New York State Republican Com
mittee has increased the number of dele
gates to the State convention from 497 to
6911. The prospect that the convention
will be large enough to embrace the Mug
wumps is not good. Although these al
leged prodigals have been earnestly in
vited by the Republican leaders to return
to the fold, those who live in New Y’ork
city nre yet expressly excluded from the
party by tlve constitutional provision
which puts all who declined to vote for
Blaine and Logan down as worse than
Democrats and ex-Confederates. In the
meantime the Mugwumps say they do not
want to get back into tho Republican
ranks, and allege that they will In the fu
ture, as they did in the late election, vote
independently of party dictation.
The Houston (Tex.) Post has been
purchased by a. joint stock company, and
Mr. K. M. Johnston continues as man
aging editor. Mr. Johnston is a Georgian,
and at one time edited the Bainbridge
Sun, and alterwards was on the Morn
ing News staff' as news editor. He is a
ready writer, and, though still a young
man, has developed excellent editorial
ability. He was familiarly known to his
eonfreers in this State as “Hlenal” John
ston. A good newspaper like the Post is
a credit to the city in which it is pub
lished, and should receive a generous sup
port.
The New York Republicans do not take
very kindly to the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher’s ad\ ice to put a high license
plank in their State platform. They do
not feel much confidence in Mr. Heeeher
since ho has become a Mugwump, and
they fear that any proposition to inject
the liquor question in any shape into the
canvass would be fatal to their chances
of success. The leaders will probably
drink with those who drink, and talk tem
perance with those who are opposed to
the Indiscriminate sale of liquor.
When Senator Sherman introduces a
bill to base representation in Congress on
white population, the colored voters of
Ohio will feel even less confidence and, 1
re#peot for the Republican party of that
State than they have felt heretofore. It is
very evident that tho Republicans only
want the votes of tho negroes, and when
their voles can't be bad all Interest'ln
their future welfare will be lost.
An interesting item is going the rounds
to the effect that the Duke of Edinburgh
has deoided to give up his Eastweli park
farm, which has entailed upon blm an an
nual lost of $2,500 a year, instead of the
SIO,OOO profit he expected. It Is a questing
whether the Duke kept too many dogs, or
whether he bought his corn and bacou on
credit and mortgaged bis crop to pay
therefor.
It Is stated that John Roach's assignees
will employ no Democratic workmen in
completing the new cruisers. It Is
probably an open question whether the
assignees will he allowed to control tbis
business, as the details of the plans for
completing tho vessels have not yet lieen
agreed to.

Cable’ll Canting Conaequence.
From the St Lou in Republican ( Lem.)
Mr. George W. < aMe, who has made for
himnelf friends of the cant of Boston, and
consequently of the mammon of unrighteous
ness, thrusts himself forward as the champion
of the negro in the -South, who. iu his view, is
still no better than a slave. This sort of stuff
is popular in Boston, and brings a belter price
there than the truth. Appealing to the class
whose patron saint is John Brown, whose
prophet is Albion W. Tourgce, Mr. Cable may
increase his notoriety and his bank account,
but lie will win also the lasting contempt of
all who despise cant and hate alike treachery
and hypocrisy.

A True Allegory.
From the, Brooklyn Eagle.
Beautiful white-browed Truth sat at her
desk in the editorial room, calmly and sweet
ly revising the circulation affidavits which
had just been sent up from the business office.
A weary, haggard Joke came in from the
darkened street and tottered feebly to a chair.
The letters and t f were stenciled on the back
of bis fluttering duster. As he took his ac
customed place the white browed gathered
her white robes about her and prepared to
leave, but a pleading look of long-enduring
patience in the eyes of the Joke detained her.
“Where are you going'”’ he asked.
”1 am going to the composing room,” she
sa'd, “there is anew sub on slug 9 to-mght,
and I want to Keep him from telling that he
was the only man who could get up Horace
Greeley’s manuscript, and how he once set up
the President’s message all alone in four
hours, while the rest of tho boys wore out on
a Hoot,’ as he calls it.”
“Y’ou look so young and beautiful,” said
the poor Joke, “and yet there is but little dif
ference between our ages. And I—look at
me! My gray beard reaches to my waist, my
teeth are gone, inv tottering knees scarce sup
port my emaciated frame,l am bald and halt
blind—tell me—” but ins voice was choked
with sobs.
“I am 3,0(10 years older than you,” said
Truth, gently, “but then I am always young. - ’
“Aud I,” sobbed the miserable Joke, “I was
always Old!”
Truth paused; her heart yearned for the
wretched outcast; she hunt tenderly over him
and drew a broad, blue pencil mark around
bun, and lo! radiant, fair as the morn, fresh
and youthful, the Joke sprang into new being,
the latest scintillation of that peerless wag.

What a Itaby Cali Do.
From the Newman Indepemten t.
It can wear out a 41 pair of kid shoes in 24
hours.
It can keep its father busy advertising in
tile newspapers for a nurse.
It can occupy both sides of the largest-sized
bed manufactured simultaneously.
It can cause its lather to lie insulted liy
overy second-class boarding-house keeper in
the city who “never take children,” which iu
nine cases out of ten is very fortunate for the
children.
it enn make itself look like a fiend just
when mamma wants to show “what a pretty
baby slie has.”
It can make an old bachelor in the room
adjoining use language that, if uttered on the
street, would get him in the penitentiary for
two years.
It can go from the furthest end of the room
to the foot of the stairs In the hall adjoining
quicker than its mother can just step into the
closet and out again.
It can go to sleep-‘like a little angel,” and
just as mamma aud papa are starting for the
theatre it can wake up aud stay aw ake until
the last act.
'these are some of the things that abahvean
do. But there are other things as well. A
baby can make the commonest home the
brightest spot on earth. It can lighten the
burdens of a loving mother’s life by adding to
them. It can flatten its dirty little fare
against the window pane in such a way that
the tired father can see it as a picture before
he rounds tho corner. Y’es, babies are great
institutions, particularly one's own baby.
At the Piano,
From the Argonaut.
Before the ivory keys she sat
And touched the notes; but all of that
Was much like other people at
A grand piano.
But suddenly, when all was still,
Across mv heart there came a thrill.
Responsive to a mellow trill
Of soft soprano.
Then all seemed changed: the little room
Was fragrant with a faint perfume,
As i( a ruse bush burst in bloom
And showed a blossom.
’Twas enly one, I knew full well—
How happily it seemed to dwell.
Where first it lifted and then fell.
Upon her bosom.
Outstretched a little was her chin,
A solitary dimple in.
Which seemed to say: “When I begin
To change and alter,
Beware! Y’onng Cupid lurketh uear!”
Alas, I did not choose to hear,
Aadsoon my lips a timid “Dear,”
Began to falter.
And on, and on. throughout that song—
The notes now faint, now clear and strong—
My heart grew restless, till ere long
I touched her shoulder.
The fingers from the white keys dropped,
Down from her lips the songster hopped,
Tne music note by note was stopped.
And then I told her.
Lighting His Own Funeral I’jrre,
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
John Rosenmeyer, a well-to-do farmer in
Wciaenburg, ml., lias been dnuking deeply
of late, and day before yesterday was in a
slate bordering on delirium tremens. Re
turning to his home, he began a violent at
tack upon the members of bis fumily, and
drove each in terror irom the house. Still
imagining himself pursued by devils and hiss
ing serpents, he piled the bedding in heaps
upon the lloor aud set them on dre. Then,
armed with a gun, he placed a chair upon a
tahle 111 tho centre of the room, and. amid
the roar and cackle of the blazing combusti
bles, sat upon his elevated scat, with Ins
weapon In his hands, shouting deflanro to the
imaginary swarm of snakes uud devils th mi
were, In Hie light of his imaginary brain,
seeking to ilevour him.
The tierce flames spread, and the entire
building was -con wrapped In the consuming
element, yet in the imdst of it all could be
seen the maniac. Like a monarch on his
tbrono. he sat laughing and exulting at the
ruin and liaroe around linn, and shouting at
the top of his voice defiance to fire, devil and
death. Not until the Haines had entirely sur
rounded him and bn had toppled from Ins
loftv seat were tee alarmed spectators able to
reach him and drag him from certain destruc
tion. While thus engaged 111 their humane
work ho threatened with loaded gun to shoot
them.
An examination of his burns ihows that he
cannot possibly live many hours. The house,
with all its oontente, was destroyed.

The latest dodge of the genteel dead-beat
in New r York is to dine at a good restaurant
and hand the cashier his check with a fried
cockroach pinned to it, expecting that his bill
will be canceled or largely reduced, to avoid

But the cashiers have “tumbled” to the game,

thev have not gone to the length of charging
extra for the cockroach.
A number of dogs were recently dosed with
morphine until they became insensible, the

to the principle derived from lea.

Anew insect pest which has appeared in
the western part of New Y’ork State is causing
much alarm to the farmers because of the
mischief threatened to the potato cr*p. It is
about half the size of the potato hug, its dark
brown shell is much harder, and its legs nre
unusually long and strong. Its operations are
entirely underground, and it burrows its way
into a hill of potatoes near the stem of the
plants; hence it is almost impossible to deter
mine the extent of the injury until the potato
hills are dug.

to shoot an arrow 200 yards.

At about midnight on July 29 a remarkanl®
phenomenon was urn at Joiikoping (Sweden),
over Lake YVettern. A strong luminosity was
suddenly seen in the north, where some very

seen almost to touch the water. From these
clouds electrical discharges continually pro
ceeded, imparting to them a bluish, phos
phorescent light, somewhat ruddy near the
water and intensely yellow at their sides. It
seemed like a constant discharge of tin works
from the lake. It was remarkahlo that tho
light-as I* generally the esse with an elec

assume the form ot bunches of streamers, but
at one time flared up Intensely and at others
formed narrow bands across tho clouds
