The annna report oi the Central Rail

where this morn t-.‘. shows the affairs ot
the company to be in a very satisfactory
condition. rim in ' amines of theoom
panj were ]r>o ;to greater than they
were tee prevu u- w ar,and the last divi
dend would have been arger but tor the
very satisfactory r -asons tost are given.
The aim of the ma agementat present
appears to be to improve toe proper.y and
increase its earning capacity rather than
to pay large dividends. Tue Central sys
tem is being gradually extended, and the
roads already embraced in it are being
brought up to a first-class condition. The
changing o( the gauge of the system was
expensive, but the advantages obtained by
the change will inuoh more than over
balance the coat.
Attention is called in the report to the
connection that is soon to be made with
the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf road
at Birmingham. This connection can
hardly fail to be of great benefit to Savan
nah. Already Birmingham iron is seek
ing the sea coast at this point, and it Is
among the probabilities that the products
of the greut West which are distributed
to the markets of the world from Kansas
City will also seek the seaboard at this
point.
As the Central is a Georgia institution,
and is mainly owned by Georgians, 'its
Increasing prosperity and its gradual and
healthy extension are matters in whiob
Georgians generally,as well as the stock
holders, feel a pride.
Chattanooga Facts vs. lllaine Fic
tion.
Mr. Blaine is making an extraordinary
effort to oonvioce the workingmen of the
North that the negro labor of the South
threatens to reduce them almost to the
condition of paupers. The most effective
parts of the speeches he is making
i.i Pennsylvania are those relating to ths
effect ot the negro labor of the South upon
the white labor of the North, in the
Maine canvass, in September, this phase
ol the labor question was prominent in
his speeches, but he did not pretend to
state at that time the amount of wages
received by negro laborers, or to make a
comparison between the wages received
by the colored workingmen of the South
and the white workingmen of the North.
Since he has been in Pennsylvania, how
ever, he has, on more than one
oocasion, told the workingmen
of the iron districts of that
State that they would soon fee! the effects
of competition with negro laborers of the
South, who he says receive only 60 or 70
cents a day; and he has pointed out that
unless they support the Republican par
ty, which favors the education of the ne
groes so they will be able to command
fair wages, they will very soon be forced
to work lor the same wages that the ne
groes now reoeive.
It may be that Mr. Blaine may be igno
rant of what the truth Is, and that he has
been misled in this matter by those who
are more interested In making a strong
political point than they are that the
truth shall be known. This view is chari
table to Mt. Blaine. The probabilities
are, however, that he knows that he is
not stating the I act a. and that he doesn’t
care what the faots are so long as be can
wake an effective argument. He knows
that it will take the iron workers and
miners of Pennsylvania a long time to
find out the truth, and that bis statements
will be believed by them notwithstanding
the denials ol them that are made in the
South.
In a dispatch from Chattanooga, pub
lished in the Morning Nkws yesterday,
the statement. Is authoritatively made
that Mr. Blaine's assertion respecting the
wages paid to uegroes at the South is not
true. At Chattanooga, where important
iron manufacturing interests are located,
the negroes who do the same class ot
work the white men do are paid the same
wages. Even boys are paid more than
Mr. Blaine says the men get.
Negro workmen at the larg
est iron works in Chattanooga
are paid from $1 to $3 per day, und some
who rank as skilled workmen receive us
much as $4 per day. The same wages Is
paid at Knoxville, Birmingham and other
places. It has been already pointed out
that negro plaster-rs, masons, carpenters,
and even farm laborers here in the South,
receive tho same pay that while men do
for toe same class of work, and about the
same pay, all things considered, that
white men at the North do. It is proba
ble, however, that Mr. Blaine wili go ou
repeating bis story, notwithstanding the
tact that he knows it isn’t true, because
it promises to serve his purpose better
thau any other that be can Invent.
A Father Hyan Memorial.
The Daily Dispatch, of Montgomery,
Ala., has undertaken the pleasant task of
raising a fund to provido a monument to
Father Kyan, the poet priest of the South.
The memory of Father Hyan Is revered
in the South, and there is no doubt that
the necessary amount for a monument
will he obtained without trouble. The
sum of S2OO has already been subscribed,
and other subscriptions wul be obtained
quioklv, doubtless, as soon as it is well
understood that a memorial fund is being
raised.
Subscriptions will continue to bo re
ceived ov the Daily Dispatch until South
ern Memorial day. On that day U is ex
pected that "The Ladies’ Father Hyan
Fund Association" will take up subscrip
tions tor the monumeut. .No hxed sum is
aimed at. Whatever is subscribed will
he devoted to the monument.

SAVANNAH MORNING NKWS: SATURDAY. OCTOBER 23. 1886.
Chief Arthur’s Address.
Mr. Arthur, the chief of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, lias shown
himself well fin- and I >r tne delicate and
responsible position which be holds. He
has succeeded admirably in keeping
tbe Brotherhood free Irorn labor troubles.
When a difficulty arises between any of
the engineers and their employes he grap
ples with it in a level beaded sort of way
that generally results in a satisfactory
settlement.
His annual address is always well
worth reading. He treats his subject in
a manner that shows that he is a close
observer and a clear thinker. He talks to
the Brotherhood in a common sense sort of
way, and the advice he gives is, as a rule,
sound and practical. •
Since he has been chief his great aim
has been to elevate the engineers and
keep them out of labor troubles. How
well he has succeeded the contented
condition of tbe Brotherhood and the
grievance record for the year show.
There are now twenty thousand mem
bers of the Brotherhood, and tor the
year which closed with the meeting of the
convention there were only ten cases of
grievances in the settlement of which Mr.
Arthur’s assistance was asked. In each
a satisfactory conclusion was reached.
In the course of his address Wednes
day, speaking of the Brotherhood, he
said;
What we are and what wo have accom
plished Is the result of long-continueil,
patient work, and it behooves us to be ex
tremely cautious how wo interest our-
Relves where .here is nothing to gain hut
everything to lose. Not until there is noth
ing more to be done for our Brotherhood
oan we afford to beoorne interested in
other things foreign to our order. We
have taken upon the adoption ot our
motto, “Sobriety, truth, justice and mor
ality.” a strong stand for right. Right
alone ior ltselt and in itself considered
stands upon a bread basis, and is the
only lasting foundation upon which a
man cun build.
We sometimes boastingly allude to our
rights; talk of the usurpation of our
rights. Silt the matter and what have
you? Our lights are limited to our neigh
bor’s wrong; beyond we may not go.
Justloe, however.’steps in as a mediator,
and demands a wise adjustment of things,
that equity may be maintained and the
welfare of all promoted, whether it be
that of the greatest or least. We have
no sympathy for nor 00-operatlon with
any class or set of men who base their
claims upon the principle that might is
right and the rich owe the poor a living.
No man has a right to anything which
does notcoipe to him through the channel
of honest acquirement. If you would bave
name, lame, or wealth, work lor them.
Have an object in life, let it be as exalted
us possible, and if backed by a strong de
termination und honest endeavor, believe
me, you will attain it.
Much has been said and more written
ooncerning the antagonism between capi
tal and labor. To my mind there is no
such thing. Between work and idleness
there has never been any feeling other
than antagonistic, and It is those of tbe
latter class who are attempting to poison
the minds of the industrious.
There seems to be generally prevalent
an idea that all capitalists are rich,
whereas tbe truth is that no great busi
ness enterprise is owned and controlled
by one man, but by many, each contribu
ting something toward the mighty whole.
1 will venture to say that most men of
thrifty, industrious habits are capitalists.
When we consider that capital is only in
vested wealth, I hope there is not one
among you, my bearers, but can count
ill in sell a capitalist, be your pile ever bo
small.
Tbe locomotive engineers are a remark
able body of uien. Sober, steady, and, as
a rule, thrifty, intrusted with the lives of
millions of tbelr fellow beings annually
and fulfilling tbeir trust faithfully, they
are admirable specimens of genuine
American workingmen.
Mineral Products.
Avery Interesting statement has been
issued from Washington showing the
mineral products ol the United States (or
the year 1886. The following are the
facts relating to a few of them: The
value of the coal product was greater
than that of the product of an>y other
mineral. The value of the coal con
sumed, exclusive of that consumed at the
mines, was $162,015,108. The production
In Pennsylvania was valued at some
thing over $811,000,000. The value of the
coke production was $7,629,118, and of
petroleum $19,193,200. The amount of
coal displaced by natural gas was 3,161,-
600 tons, valued at $1,100,000.
The amount of domestic iron ore con
sumed was 7,600,000 long tons. The value
at the mines was $19,000,000. The total
amount of ora consumed was 7,990,786
tons, which at the furnaces was valued
at $64,712,400. The value ot gold nroduced
in 1885 is estimated by the mint authori
ties at $31,801,000, an increase ot $1,001,000
over the previous year, and the prouuo
tion of silver is estimated at $51,600,000,
an Increase ot $2,800,000 over the previous
year.
The value of Amerioan precious stones
produced was $09,900. This includes
$42,800 for stones sold as specimens aud
souvenirs ami $27,100 lor stones to be cut
Into gems. Besides this, gold quartz,
with an estimated value of $140,000, was
sold for specimens and tor oruameuts and
jewelry.
The Boston Journal is authority for the
statement that a prominent internal rev
enue official, who has bad much to do
with the regulations, expresses the opin
ion that the butter men will be disap
pointed in the operation of the oleomarga
rine law, and that they will tlud that tbe
tax will not drive oleomargarine Irom the
market, but that it will give it a charac
ter ami a government trademark which
will establish it on a permanent basis,
and put it in successful competition with
the pure aitide. If this should turn out
to be true toe oleomargarine biil will not.
have been altogether in vain. In other
words, while it may not benefit tho dairy
interests as much as was expeoteu,lt may
greatly benefit tbe country at large, which
ought to have been the leading object of
Congress in passing It. It is not oleo
margarine that the people generally want
ruled out of the market, but bud bogus
butter. When they buy butter they want
to know that tbev gel butter, and when
they buy oleomargarine they want to
know that they get a wholesome article.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Facts for the Uslne preyarioator.
From the Few York Fvening Port ( Ind.)
The fact that such southern Stales as South
Caroliua and Alabama ay the fenu le teach

Biaine raider slry of challenging comparisons
between wages at the N o th and the South.

workingmen that “they cannot call an Inch

Have Not Bettered Their Cause.
From tbe Philadelphia Ledger (fpd.)
The Knights of Labor have not bettered
their cause hy appealing for mercy for the
'hicago anarchists, notwithstanding their
disclaimer of sympathy for the murderous
work of anarchist-. Honest workingmen are
even more interested than capitalists in hav
ing exemplar-, punishment dealt out to men
who attempt to destroy the government and,

An 111 Advised Scheme.
From the yew York Timer Und.)
The Knightsof Labor are altogether human
and they have not a degree of wisdom and
prudence su'mrior to that of humanity in
geueral, which would certainly he needed for
the success of suen a -cheuie of action as the
order seems to contemplate. If they are to
work any real benefit to tbe cause of labor
they wdi have to modify and moderate some
what their pretension for controlling masses
of men through the agency of 0.-g .uization.
They must take individual liberty ami the

A Romance of tile Mill.
From the St. Paul Globe.
“There goes a young man who has a ro
mance,” remarked a well known citizen yes
terday, as he looked through the window, as
a youug man of perhaps twenty five passed
up First avenue, a remarkably handsome
lady leaning upon his arm. "Tell you about
it? Certainly, only i won’t give you the name
of the partie*, for if I did you would print it.
and nearly every one in the city would recog
nize in the couple two well known Minneapo
lis people.
“some years ago the young man worked in
one of the big mills and was looked upon as a
f;ood man in his position. One day a party of
adies visited tne mill, among them the lady
you saw him with. While looking at the diff
erent things around the mill, this joung lady
dropped from her finger into a lot of wheat
which was being stored a valuable diamond
ring, which had been presented to her by her
mother.who had died some years before.
“Of course, the young lady was nearly
heartbroken and refused to he comforted by
lier frieuds. Tnis young man, who was stand
ing near when she dropped the ring, saw the
whole thing and made up bis mind to recover
the ring. That eveuing. as soon as his work
was done, he went to the bin in which the
wbcut had been stored, and there, accom
panied by a friend, sifted ail the wheat and
placed it in bags. It was nearly morning
when he found the ring. The wheat was then
emptied back into the bin and the young man
went hme When he went to work again he
went to the head miller and succeeded in
being released for tbe day. His next move
waste dress himself in bis best suit and re
turn ihe ring to the owner.
“To her he related how he recovered it, and
by h's pleasing manners so captivated her
that she invited him to call. This he did, and
the friendship thus begun soon ripened into
something stronger. The young lady's father
took a great liking to tue young man and gave
liißCOiueut to a marriage arranged between
him and his daughter. VVhen the marriage
took place, the young man left the mill, and
was started in business bv his wife’s father.
He is now worth about SIOO,OOO. and can lay
his good fortune to recovering the lost ring.”
Talbot’s Long Head.
From the Chieajo Herald.
“The Lake shore tolks were awfully glad
when a certain man died up in Buffalo the
other day,” said a conductor “The man’s
name whh Talbot, About twelve years ago
Talbot saved a train from going into a wash
out near his farm, and of course the company
felt very grate.ul. P. P. Wright, superin
tendent ot the Buffalo division, sent for h,m
aud loaded him with thanks for himself and
tho company. Talbot modestly declined a
money present of SSOO. but said he didn’t ob
ject when Wright proposed making out for
him a pass good for the remainder of his life.
While Wright was writing out the pass Tal
bot inquired:
“•Say, Mr. Wright, bave you any objec
tions to making that read good for me and a
friend? I may want to take a friend up to
Cleveland with me some time to see an uncle
of iniue.’
“Wright was so full pf gratitude that he
couldn’t object t > anything, and the mau got
Ills pass, good b r himself aud friend, nd it
was afterward sent on to headquarters and
countersigned b. the President und Geueral
Pa-senger Agent.
“Weil, now. what do you think? For more
than ten years lhat man Talbot lias been
ndiugconstantly between Buffalo and ( hi
cago, ‘Buffalo and Cleveland or Buffalo
ana Toledo. He was never alone. He
always had a friend with him. The
Irlend was usually some commercial
traveler fn short, Talbot has mam
railroad riding his regular business. He
made arrangements with various wholesale
ami jobbing houses to carry their men. and
booted bis engagements months ahead some
times. When these fa led he picked up strav
passenger tier© and there. After paying his
sleeping ear aud other expenses he bad $6 or
IS a day left as clear profit, and out of these
profits he managed to amass a snug little for
tune. He tried to use Ins pass on tue lnni ed
express, but the company wouldn’t have it.
In fact, they wanted to refuse to carry him
altogether, but their lawyer concluded that
the suit lor damages would be too expensive.
Talbot is dead now, though greatly to the re
gret of several traveling inen.”

Deacon Amos l. Kendall, of Palmer,
Mass., died on Saturday of a curious disease
that had caused the leath of his grandfather,
father, and two brothers. In effect it was
paralysis, and yet it c,me on very gradually
without any shock. Less than a year ago
Deacon Kendall noticed a lameness in a finger
on his left hand. Tie disorder developed
gradually, until about five months ago the
left hand became helpltss and dangled from
the wrist. Next the calves of his lags were
attacked, and in a eoupie of months more he
was forced to stop walkng, and soon after he
was unable lo move tho left leg at all. His
mouth and throat were then appcaoned. ihe
musoles controling the salivary gland 9 weak
eued, whioh caused a cease,ess flaw of salivn.
After that the progress o! the disease was
rapid, and at the time of bis death he had lost
his speech save a few guttural sounds, was
unable to swallow or to move any member
save one arm slightly and turn his head some
what. The paralyzed portions retainen the
sense of touch and his misd was perfectly
clear to the last.
A recent number of the Japan Weekly
Mail contains a short account of a night as
cent of the active volcano Asamayama. The
party left Kainisaws in the afternoon, and
commenced the ascent from the eastern side
about sunset. The sky was perfectly dear,
and the summit was reached an hour before
midnight. The wind, blowing from the
.South, carried the sulphurous vapor away to
the northward, and thus the ascent was
made less uncomfortable. The party saw
quite to tire bottom of tile crater, which pre
sented the appearance of a furnace fi led
with glowing coals. The sound of the roar
ing, hissing and bubbling is described as loud
and awful. The walls of the crater are of a
light brown oolor. and are composed of suc
cessive layers marked out, with striking regu
larity. like the seats in an amphitheatre. Al
lowing ten of these layers lo each interval of
twenty feet, the depth from the surface to
the incandescent matter would appear to he
200 feet. The periphery of the craier is about
hall a mile, although the Japanese caloulate
it at two miles and a half.
