i The Edmunds Resolutions.
Tbe long partisan debate in tbe Senate,
which closed with the adoption
of the Edmunds resolutions on Friday,
was a profitless one so tar as set
| tling the question is concerned of the right
of the Senate to have all the papers pre
sented to the President, or the head of any
department, in eases where removals have
I been made. It was apparent in the be
ginning of the debate that the Republican
Senators would take one side of the
qu.-stion and the Democratic Senators the
other. Neither side succeeded in bring
ing out any new argument, and the dis
cussion ended without any Senator hav
ing been influenced to vote other
wise than he would had the resolutions
been acted upon the day they were intro
duced.
The Democrats, however, made a strong
er presental ion of their side of the case
than the Republicans did of theirs. They
not only overthrew Mr. Edmunds 1 strong
est precedents, but tbev presented prece
dents which the Republicans were not
able to explain away. Mr. Edmunds
quoted a letter of Mr. Thurman which
seemed to sustain the Renubiicans, but
the Democrats ware able to show that it
did not. The Democrats read a letter,
written by Senator Sherman when he was
Secretary of the Treasury, which clearly
sustained the President in refusing to
furnish the papers for which the Senate
called. Mr. Sherman did nit undertake
to explain away this letter, for the rea
son, doubtless, that he could not.
The debate brought out the fact that
there are several Senators in both parties
who do not believe in civil service reform
and who are ready to vote for the repeal
of the ciyil service reform law. They
are, however, a very small mi
nority. But there is no doubt
that public sentiment would sus
tain the President in removing very
generally officials who do not come within
the jurisdiction of the civil service law.
because the importance of having the
principal offices occupied by those who
are In sympathy with the administration
is recognized.
The Republican Senators have bound
themselves by passing the Edmunds’ res
olutions not to confirm nominations .In
cases where removals have been made,
unless such papers as the Senate calls
for are furnished. It can hardly he prob
able that they intend to permit 600 or
more uouijnations to be suspended in the
committees indefinitely. It would not be
surprising if they should find that they
have adopted a course full of trouble and
annoyance. The country understands
very well that the power of removal is
vested by the constitution in the Presi
dent alone, and the Republicans produced
nothing during the long debate calcula
ted to disturb that understanding. The
Republican Senators, therefore, may soon
expect to leel the pressure of public sen
timent in favor of confirming nomina
tions.
Mr. Edmunds may feel some satisfac
tion in being supported by his Republican
associates, but he can hardly claim to
have won a victory. He has not got the
papers which were refused to him, and
there is no probability that he will get
them.
African Colonization.
The Rev. Dr. Sunderland, of Washing
ton, lectured in Boston the other evening
on the subject of colonization in Liberia.
He is an advocate of the policy of the
American Colonization Society, which is
the founder of the republic of Liberia.
While tne lecturer covered the subject
of the enlightenment and colonization of
Africa generally, his principal aim was
to revive interest in Liberia. That coun
try has not been in a prosperous condition
for a good many years, and the outlook
for it is not very encouraging. The Doc
tor thinks that tbe American people
ought to feel a moral obligation to do all
they can to promote the interests ot
Liberia, as offering a promising and prac
tical opportunity for the regeneration of
the African continent. He thinks the
United States ought to stand as the
friend of tbe Black Republic, and
protect it from the encroachments ot
England which threatens to eeize a val
uable strip of territory in the Southeast
ern portion of the country. This position
will hardly meet with much favor, for
while we deny the right of tbe powers of
the Old World to interfere with affairs that
concern the New World, we are not in a
condition to take part in matters which
concern the Old W orld alone. Dr. Sun
derland thinks a practical way of saving
tbe territory in dispute would be to send
out a colony ot 10,000 freedinen to occupy
it. This suggestion should have much
force with the American Coloni
zation Society, which is espe
cially interested in Liberia, but
this interest does not appear to he as
keen juet now as it perhaps might and
ought to be. Probably Liberia needs the
oversight and assistance of its parent so-
ciety now as much as at any
time in the past, but it does not seem
probable that tbe society will be in a con
dition to do much for its offspring in the
ueartuture. Besides any offers the so
ciety might make to improve the methods
of administration in Liberia, and to shape
the policy of its government so as to ad
vauce the interests and condition of tbs
people, would doubtless be resented as au
impertinence.
Since Liberia has been found to be rich
in minerals, timber and fertile lands, it
will probtibly not be long before it will
esase to lie independent, aud tbe people
w 11 become virtually. If not nominally,
slaves to the traders and money lenders
of Kngland.
Some of the Republican papers are furi
ous because a school history is iu use in
some parts of the South which gives a cor
rect account of Sherman's incendiary
march through Georgia aud the burning
of Columbia. Tbe |>eople of the South
have forgiven and forgotten much, but
tbsss Republican howlers may rest as
sured that Hhurmau’s barbarity will not
be forgotten for generations.
Some of the anti-Proulbttionists of Penn
sylvania argue from tbe Bible tbat Noah
and several other great biblical characters
weredrunkards. Perhaps they would not

prohibition law in force when they were
citizens of tbe world.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MARCH 28, 1886.
The Danger of the Boycott.
Mr. Powderly, the cblel of the Execu
live Board of the Knights of Labor, ap
pears to have a pretty fair understanding
ot the danger there is not only to the in
terests of the Knights, but, also, to all the
great business and industrial interests of
the country in the unrestrained use of the
boycott and strike. He apparently sees
very plainly that it the different local or
ganizations of the Knights are permitted
to declares boycott,or order a strike when
ever they or any of their members have
a grievance, and that, too, often before
there has been an investigation of the
grievance by those sufficiently intelli
gent and free from prejudice to
form a fair judgment, there will be
constant interruptions in all kinds of
business, widespread uncertainty that
will cause capital to be witbdra wn from
all enterprises and obstructions that will
paralyze trade and bring disaster and
ruin everywhere. In a condition of affairs
like this it is not difficult to see what the
late o( the workingman will be.
Tuere is nothing that is more necessary
to the welfare of the workingman than
that tne commerce and industries of the
country should suffer no interruptions.
His comfort and his happiness depend
upon bis daily earnings. Without work
his family goon suffers from want. What
folly it is, then, lor tnousands of men to
abandon their employment wnenever a
fellow-workingman is discharged, or
whenever an employer fails or refuses to
comply with the demands of one or more
ot his employes!
The power which some of the labor or
ganizations propose to exercise is more
despotic and threatens greater danger
than any that it was ever before thought
possible to exercise in this country. It
proposes, without being intelligently di
rected, to control the commerce aud in
dustries of the entire country. It is not
to be wondered at that Grand Master
Powderly has become alarmed, and nas
attempted to gain a firmer hold upon the
great organization that appears to be
slipping from his control. He ought to
have the support of every true working
man in his efforts to restrain the organi
zation within the limits that it origi
nally marked out for itself. Within
those limits it may be made
useful to the laboring classes, but outside
of them it is not only a menace to the
prosnarity of the country and the best in
terests of the workingmen, but will speed
ily bring about its own destruction. Il
the Knights of Labor waut the support of
public sentiment let them heed the words
of Grand Master Powderly. The less fre
quently they use the boycott and tbe
strike to enlorce their demands in trivial
matters, and matters with which they
have no legitimate concern, the greater
will their chances be of getting conces
sions to which they are entitled.
Complaints of Slow and Irregular
Mails.
A subscriber at Baniord, Fla., writes to
inquire why it is that the newsboys de
liver the Morning Nbws in that city on
the day oi its publication, while sub
scribers don’t get it by mail until the fol
lowing morning. The writer asks, and he
is not tbe only one who wants information
on the subject, why this condition of af
fairs exists, and if there is any way of
remedying the delay. The Morning
Nrws has been trying for some time to
bring about an Improvement in tbe mail
service in Georgia and Florida, but thus
far has not met with much success. Ref
erence has already been made to the out
rageous schedule of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railway, and also
to the lack of proper mail facilities in
Florida, especially in Middle West Flor
ida. Tbe Sanford mails, as well as the
mails for all points in South Florida are
delayed for want of proper mail arrange
ments.
The fast mail from the North, which
also carries the Morning News, reaches
Jacksonville at 12 m., several hours after
tbe morning trains for South and West
Florida have departed. This mail is
sent South by rail as tar as Pa
latka, arriving at that city at
3:48 p. m. There it remains until
8 p. m., when it is sent by steamer to San
ford, arriving there tbe next morning at
7 o’clock. The newsboys leave Jackson
ville on the same train, but don’t stop at
l’alatka, and therefore arrive at Sanford
at 6:30 p. in., about 12 hours in advance of
the mail.
From tbe beginning of tbe building of
railroads up to a few years ago tbe effort
was to keep out of Florida the railroad
lines of other States. The effort 1b not
very apparent now, but the schedules of
tbe railroads of that State are such as to
almost justify the belief that they are ar
ranged to prevent the people from enjoy,
ing a regular and prompt mall service.
Each railroad says it is not its fault if the
mail service is bad. and that it is doing
the best it can under the circumstances.
It is not probable that the service will
be much improved until tbe Post Office
Department ie made to understand that
tbe people of tbie section of tbe Fnion are
tired ot being imposed upon in tbe matter
of mails. A good service is paid lor, and
it is the duty of tbe government to see
that the people get It. If the railroads
caunot afford to arrauge their schedules
so as to facilitate the movement of the
mails, let them say so, and the people
will petition to have tbeir compensation
increased. The people are determined to
have tbeir mails more promptly and
regularly.
A Worcester, Mass., doctor is to have
over bis grave a stone with the inscrip
tion: “Here lies the body of John McLean
Hayward, a" man who never voted. Of
such is the kingdom of heaven.’’ The
habit of putting falsehoods on tombstones
is not yet dying out. No man can be sure
of heaven who ie too cynical or haa too
little public eplrit to vote. Now, if the
inscription were to read: “A man who
never voted the Republican ticket,’’ the
latter part of it might be something to be
proud of. •
Tbe story ot a remarkable pbeaomena
comes from I’lckens, 8. C. In a parlor in
tbat county the other day, several notes
were sounded on tbe piano when it was
positively known tkat there wasn’t a aoui
in the room. It seems tbat on the same
day several notes were carried by a 00l
lector to tbe residence of an Atlanta man
and not a soul would answer the door
bell.
It looks as if the Senatorial revolution
ists may turn out to be tbe worst kind of
conspirators. Does Edmunds really
think he bee the daggers ready?

From the Philadelphia Record ( Den.)
While sacrificing the wool duty on the altar
of the common good the Representatives and
people of Texas ju-tlv demand at the same
lime that other sacrifices shall be made in the
repeal of burdensome duties on necessaries of
living. They ask that salt. coal, iron ore and
lumber shall aisobe made free from taxation,
and in demanding this for themselves they ore
seeking what would be advantageous to the
Interests of the whole people. The people of
Texas will derive no more benefit from a gen
uine reform of tbe tariff'than the rest of the
country, but tbev are liberal enough to make
some surrender to obtain it.

right that changes should he made, and many

of Christian as contrasted from Mormon saints
and sinners.
"Mr. Lamar, I heard tbat speech.” said the
long-haired Mississippian. “and it astonished
me. I didn't suppose Joe Brown conld get up
such a speech as that.”
“Oh. yes,” sid Lamar, “Joe Brown is a
remarkable man.”
A few minutes later another friend of La
mar’s met him.
• That was a good speech of Joe Brown’s,”
be said.
“Yes, yes,” said the Mississippi Senator, ab
sent-mindedly; and then, wilh a bright, hu

“It ought to be a good speech, for I wrote it
myself.”
A Bit of Sharp Practice.
Prom the Boeton Budget.
Avery sharp corner was turned a week or
two ago in a neighboring town by acburoh
member. There was a piece of land which
was thought to be a very desirable site for a
church, and a committee or three was ap
pointed to see the owner and obtain the low
est lerms for the property. One of the com
mittee said that he would be in the neighbor
hood of the gentleman’s house the next day,
and that he would transact all the business
that was necessary. He was commissioned to
act for the other two member-, ami be did
this with a vengeance. He found that the
proprietor would sell the land for a very
moderate price, and he bought it for himself
and held on to il, with a grip like grim deai h,
as the saying goes. He has since sold a fotiri h
of it for more than ihe original price of his
purchase He is evidently determined to lay
up treasures on earth, if not in heaven.
California's New Senator.
From the Phil.idelphia Prese.
Mr. George Hearst, who has been appointed
by 6ov. Stoneman, of California, to succeed
the late Senator Miller, has had an eventful
history. He went to California across the
plains in 1850, anil commenr,ed as a common
laborer in the mines. Finally he made some
money and formed a partnership with Haggin
A Tevis, and the firm has amassed a lar.e
fortune in jumping and buying claims. They
now own one of the largest and most profita
ble mines in Butte City, M. TANARUS„ and also
mines in Arizona, Colorado. Oregon. Mexico,
Idaho anil California. Mr. Ilearst is consid
ered tbe most expert prospector on tbe Pacif
ic coast, and his judgment in regard to a
mine has never yet been at fault. He is a tall,
web-formed man, about 55 years old. At the
time of Senator Stanford’s election in 1885 Mr.
Hearst recadved the complimentary votes of
the Democrats He Is a very wealihy man.

A Woman Receives a Soldier's Burial.
From the. Pittsburg Com mercial-Gazette.
The first woman buried with honors of war
in Pennsylvania was Mrs. Elmira Simmons,
wnose funeral took place in Harrisburg. Pa.
a few days ago, the interment taking place at
Pottsville. Mrs. Simmons was the widow of
Cos . Seneca U. Simmons, the gallant com
mander of the famous Fifth Pennsylvania Re
serves, who fell at Charles City .Cross Roads
under McClellan and whose i*ody was never
recovered. She was idolized by the veteran
soldiers here and especially by Post No. HO,
G. A. R . which is named for her husband.
Before dying sne wrote in a book directions
for her funeral, among them that the post
should follow her to the grave, thedrum corps
playing the regular army dead march. The
request was complied with, and on the way to
take the ears for Pottsville the drum corns
played the dead march and the post marched
with reversed canes in front of the hearse in
which was the coffin, covered with ibe Amer
ican flag and guarded by soldiers who marched
on both sides • f the hearse. Veteran soldiers
followed, bearing floral tributes.
What They Whispered.
Prom the Washington Critic.
A Washington correspondent, writing about
the recent meeting at a reception at tlis
White House of President Cleveland and Sen
ator Edmunds on tbe evening of the day upon
which the Utter made a few remarks in the
Senate personal to the former, says that there
was some embarrassment when they shook
hand-. This did not last long, for .Senator
Edmunds leaned forward and whispered
something in the President’s left ear. The
President then leaned forward and whispered
something in Mr. Edmunds’ right ear. This
is the conversation, according to the corre
spondent, which took place:
Mr. Edmunds—“Did 1 hurt you much, Mr.
President ?”
The President—" Not mnch. Senator .”
The correspondent is wrong. For the bene
fit of history we will print exactly what the
conversation was. •
Mr. Edmunds—“Where do you keep it?”
The President—“lii the lower right hand

Love's First Kiss.
Prom the Few Orleans Picayune.
All quivering like the (coder leaf
When storms around prevail—
My frame shook like an anxious thief
Who hears disclosed bis tale.
Y’et in the trembling of my heart
I felt unwonted bliss;
And through the fears that inward start,
The joy of Love’s first kiss.
Though kisses fanned mv cheek before,
And fond caresses warmed;
To that they no resembia ce bore
Which all my soul alarmed:
Tie true they stirr’d my nature oft.
But nothing like to this!
They were not half so warm and soft,
bo sweet as Love’s first kiss.
Ah, then tbe rspturs lingered long.
And lulled my heart to rest
As doih the melody of song
When tunefully exprest!
'Mid earthly hopes and fears and strife
My heart hath taught me this—
That nothing clings so long to life
As our true Love’e first kiss.

A Virginia City butcher killed a steer
the other day whose teeth were completely
incrusted with gold and silver bullion. The
animal came from a ranch on Carson river,
and the precious metal on the enamel of the
teeth doubtless accumulated from drinking
the waterof the river, which is impregnated
with the tailings from the mills reducing
Comstock ores. Thiscircumst&nce is not new,
however, as Sam Davis mentioned something
similar before in the Carson Appeal. Most of
the cattle along the river have iheir teeth af
flicted in the same way. Their owners might
scrape off quite a revenue from them if they
had any financial sense.
By means of the new and ingenious little
instrument known as the hyalolyphotype, or
hot pen, drawings can be made on glass or
glassy substances with a waxy composition,
which is solid and somewhat hard at ordinary
temperatures. The pen is so contrived that it
can lie heated either by gas or bv an electric
current, and the waxy material flows easily
from the heated pen, setting so quickly on the
glass that cnoss-halching can lie done more
rapidly than with ordinary pen and ink. with
out risk of blocking up the angles; correc
tions. too. can be made with the g-ciue-t ease
by means of a penknife, which leaves the sur
face afterward in'tet. After the drawing nas
been made, the plate is etched by fluoric acid,
and when complete it can tie either electro
typed, stereotyped, used direct or applied to
any purpose for which engraved surfaces are
required.
Goons are made to a considerable extent
in Saxony from a textile fibre obtained frdm
tbe needles of the fir tree. The needles, young
and green, are dried and subjected to a set
tling and fermenting process similar tithat
in use for flax, which softens the woody parts
and loosens them from the fibre, though the
complete separation Is only obtained after a
lengthy boiliug by steam. During this boil
ing a by-product appears, called lr-wood oil.
which Issimilnr to mrp-ntine. The fibre is
pas-ed through a milling machine like those
used for woolen cloth, and Is rardi-d and spun
like cotton. Generally the carded fibre Is
mixed with a certain prooortiou of cotton or
wool, and thus a kind of merino yarn is pro
duced. which is worked In the hosiery frames
into singlets, drawer*, stocking*, e'c., these
fabrics being then sold a* anti-rheumatics and
