The keen business sense and the keener wit of the genial financier will be sadly missed. The country refuses to accept “Spees” •s the correct way of pronouncing the name of the Anarchist whom Miss Van Zandt wants to marry. The truth is there is a great deal of despise in the country’s estimate of Spies. The grass widow appears to he a natural Outgrowth of Washington society. Just now she is figuring extensively in the public prints and seems to enjoy her notoriety. A brief season of Sam Jones ■would do Washington no harm. The New York Anarchists have fallen out with the Socialists. They declare that “those Socialists are mere hum bugs.’’ Now if these mild-mannered vil lains will fall to and exterminate each other the country will be gratetul. England has sent four war vessels to Canada and the Canadians are amusing themselves by fishing in waters belonging to the United States. In the meantime Uncle Sam is discussing retaliation, with one eye ruefully fixed upon his defense less seaports. It is said that the smile of Senator Bate, •f Tennessee, is so comprehensive that it |s visible to a man standing directly be hind him. This is nothing extraordinary. The smiles ot some Senators can ,be smelled at a distance of twenty paces, front or rear. Republican members of Congress are pxpecting Virginia and North Carolina to vote against the Democrats in the next Presidential election. They will be dis appointed.

A deputy sergeant-at-arms ol the Sen ate has gone to Texas with summonses for fifty-flvo witnesses to he used in the Investigation or the alleged political out faces in Washington county, of that State.

It is said that President Cleveland at tributes his Indisposition to a lack of oui of-door exercise, and that in consequence he contemplates aa extended trip through the country next summer. It would not be amiss for him to take such a trip, aud he should by all means Include the South in it. A visit from President Cleveland would bs appreciated, especially if he should bring Mrs. Cleveland with him. It Is proposed to make the Hon. Bam Randall Mayor of Philadelphia. '1 he last Mayor of that city was a “dandy.’’ Ran dall is no dandy, but be baa a soft and seductive way about him that wouiil suit the Philadelphians. They have several thousands of barrooms in Philadelphia, •nd Randall’s apple-jack bill seems to indicate that he wishes to reduce the prioe ot the stufl sold in such places. This is the soft and seductive way that ' aishes the Philadelphians Ttie iiir.it .-Strike. The sir ks Ir. Naw York and Jersey | City has reaofit’d enormous proporuona. I It is ptobahlo that not far from 50.CCK' men are Idle. How many more will strike be fore there is a settlement of pending ; trouW'-a cannot be predicted with, any do . gri’i of certainty. Trade of alruost ali | kinds is seriously obstructed. Our dis i patches this morning state that tho strike lam the railroad wharves is the most seri ous blow the Knights of Labor have ever i dealt commerce. Many of tfcestrikeis do not appear to have any grievance. Others have found grievances since the difficulty between the coal handlers and the coal companies began. By far ihe largest number, how ever, has been called out by the leaders of the different labor organizations to support the coal handlers. Jn view of the greatness of the strike, and the immense losses it has already caused those affected by it, a statement at this time ot Us origin may not be un interesting. The coai handlers of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company at Weebawken inaugurated it. They were receiving 22■ *O. an hour when they re ceived notice that tbelr pay would be re duced almost immediately to 20c. an hour. They refused to submit to the reduction. They declared they would quit work rather than accept tho latter price. In support of their action they said that even at the reduced rate they were not given steady work. They were required to be within call, however, throughout the day, to accept any work the company might have tor them. They would, perhaps, have accepted 20e. an hour with a guar antee of steady work. The strike ex tended to the coal handlers at Hoboken and Jersey City. They were all dissatis fied and were only waiting for a favorablo opportunity to strike. As the strike gained strength and pro portions a demand was made on the coal companies foi 25c. an hour, and, in some Instances, for 30c. The demand for un increase in wages was coupled with other demands. The strikers said to the com panies: You have advanced tne price of coal 50c. a ton since last summer, although coal is costing you no more now than it did then. A part of the in crease by rights belongs to us. This argu ment had no influence cn the companies. Thoy let their trained hands go aud en deavored to get along with new men. In order to cut off the supply of coal from other sources ’longshoremen, and brakemen, and laborers on coal roads, were induced to strike. The Old Do miuion Steamship Company became mixed up in the strike by reducing the wages of its men from 25c. an hour to sl2 for sixty hours’ work. The men struck for the union scale of 30c. an hour. Vigorous w ar was made on the company. Agents of steamship lines were threat ened with strikes and boycotts if they accepted any freight tendered by the Old Dominion Company. In some instances tho agents acceded to tho demands of the strikers, und the manager ol the Old D„minion Company had the agents and leaders of the strikers called into court on civil suits for damaging his company. Day by day the situation has become more complicated. Tue number of strik ers has increased rapidly. Factories have been compelled to close their doors, and transportation lines are either idle or are operated under the greatest difficul ties. The labor organizations appear to be determined to give tue country an ex hibition of their power. There has been little or no disorder of any kind as yet, but how long it will be before tne police and even the militia will bo needed no one can say. Among the 50,000 idle men there ars many,doubtless, who are hungry and who have wives and children who are hungry, l'ast experience justifies the conclusion that serious disturbances may be expected when hunger becomes pinching. It is to be hoped that there will be a settlement of existing difficul ties before that point is reached. Ileac-liing; Many Headers. Whatever Is published in the Morning News reaohes an immense number of widely scattered readers. A few days ago there was published in its columns an interview pointing out the advantages this city possesses for sulphuric acid works, and suggesting the advisability of capitalists putting money in such an en terprise. Yesterday there was received from Davis, Franklin county. Mass., a communication stating that the article in the Morning News had been read there, aud that the writer, as agent ol a company, was ready to luruiatt all the bi-sulphide of iron that was necessary for the manufacture of auy amount oi sulphuric acid. The Massachusetts man is ready to do business, but, unfortunately, the founda tion of the acid factory is not yet laid. It ought not to be very long, however, before sufficient capital to build the works is obtained. It is certain that the works would pay a good return on the money invested in them. Inlact.it is doubtful if there is auytbing in the way of manu facturing that would pay better. Defenseless women have a hard time of it in New York. Detective I'rioe, wno arrested Mrs. Elizabeth Lawrence, Mrs, Mamie Graham, and Miss Laura Brent at Mrs. Lawrence's house, on the night ol Jan.'do, says that they were drunk and assaulted him. His explanation is re garded as a weak sub'.erfuge to escape punishment. Of course he will escape, because it is isn’t fashionable in New York to punish policemen for any outrage less than failure to vote for the bosses. New York city licenses 9,000 barrooms, and the fact, say the Excise Commission ers, is wholly inconsistent with a high degree of public morality and safety, but is directly couduoive to poverty, wretch edness and crime. Yes, and the board mi ht justly have added that so many barrooms are wholly inconsistent with : decency in tDe administration of the j affairs of the city. A “comblue" on the part ol temperanoo people for a crusade in New York would not be out of place The quiet Hie is best. Men who dazzle I the world with great deeds are sure to | have all their little deeds held up to the j gaze of the world. It Is unfortunate, too, i that the latter are generally brought to j light after death has prevented those who committed them from defending ! themselves. The attack upon the moniory of Uen. Grant is a case in point. It begins to look as if bis litilo deeds are to be , made more prominent than his great ones. SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 2. 1837. Give the City Room. Tfot more than tlve years ago that sec- I tion of fho city immediately beyond the I Savannah Hospital was considered to be i out Id the country, and the tew who had built tomes there were looked upon by their friends as living out of town. The i lot* commanded from SIOO to SSOO, and tne latter price was thought to be very ■ high ■ h'-re Is not a lot in thtt neighbor hood now that can be obtained for $1,500, and for some o! them the prices asked range from $3,000t054,000. The advance in the price of lots has uot been alone in that section of the city. It 13 referred to because some very handsome residences have been built there recently. There are other sections south o( Gaston street where the advance has been about as marked. There Is no doubt that the policy pur sued by the City Council ten years ago greatly aided in building up the southern part of the city, and that the large and valuable improvements which have been made there have reduced the cost of liv ing by decreasing rents, given the city thousands of permanent residents aud increased the taxable property of the city hundreds of thousands of dollars. What was tnat policy of the Council? It was to open and grade the streets and to encourage the building ot street rail roads. In other words, the Council opened the way for the city to grow. Was not the policy a wise one? If it was why would it not answer now as well as it did then. If the Coun cil will open the streets in the new additiou south of Anderson street the city will quickly cover the addition. All that is wanted is the opportunity. Savannah is destined to be the great com mercial city of the South Atlantic coast, and it is folly for the city authorities to pursue a policy calculated to hinder the city’s growth. Let it have room for a free exhibition of whatever vigor aud vi tality it has. No petty scheming should be permitted to hinder the opening ol additions or to check the extension or building of street railways. Let improvements of all kinds be encouraged. It is for the Council just elected to determine to a great extent what the progress of Savannah shall be in the next two years. It is to be hoped that it will not be influenced by the cramped and prejudiced ideas of one or two men. A Danger anil a Duty. The remarkable exhibition of industrial spirit and manufacturing enterprise in Alabama and Tennessee suggest adanger and a duty which ought to receive the earnest consideration of those who have the welfare of the South at heart. Alabama and Tennessee are dealing with great figures. It Is no uncommon thing to be told that this iron property in Alabama, or that coal property in Ten nessee, is valued at ten thousands or ten millions of dollars, 'this, together with the rush of peonle to these two States bent upon speculation, is likely to cause an exaggeration of values. Wherever a similar exaggeration has occurred !n other sections ot the country an injuri ous collapse has invariably resulted. The trouble with speculation la that when ever it once takes firm hold upon people it seems impossible to shake it off until, in the expressive slang of the day, the bottom drops out. There is another view of the matter. It Is easy to mark up the price of lots in Birmingham or Chattanooga, or to hold iron and coal properties in the mountains of Alabama and Tennessee at many times their actual value; but to do so will sooner or later deter investors from investing and delay development. The result is easily seen. There will be an end to booms, and genuine in dustrial and manufacturing progress will receive a depressing check. Nobody who wishes the South well would like to see suoh a check. To prevent it, wild cat schemes should De discouraged, and investors should be fairly treated. Lured by the promiseof rapidly acquir ing fortunes, a by no means inconsidera ble number ot Georgians have gone to Alabama and Tennessee and invested their money. They, of course, have the right to do as they please, but it is none the less true that they, and all other Geor gians, owe a duty to the State ol their birth. In no respect have Alabama and Ten nessee the advantage over Georgia. Dur ing the short time that the Geological Bureau was in operation .it was demon strated that Georgia has a wonderful wealth of iron and coal, not to mention other minerals. The mountains of North Georgia hold within their rugged bosoms untold riches, while the fertile larm lands of Middle Georgia and the almost in exhaustible forests of South Geor gia contain riches fully as great, ilt is the duty of Georgians to stay at home and develop the resources of their State. I’atriotism means something more than the mere defense of life and home. It means the upbuilding of the land of ones nativity, and to this task Georgians should not hesitate to address themselves. Why follow the will-o'-the-wisp promise of fortunes in Alabama and Tennessee, when fortunes may be had in Georgia for the asking? The same amount of labor expended upon the mountains end [arm lands and forests of Gsorgla that is expended in Alabama and Tennessee will bring fortunes just as readily here as there. Moreover, these fortunes will be acquired without the necessity of sunder ing home ties; and, while they enrich their possessors, they will add to the greatness of the Stale. The Boston Sunday Record makes fun of Got. Gordon’s stall. It says that the Governor has gone back on tho Colonols to a reprehensible extent, “ills staff,’’ continued the Record, “has only three ( olonels, while no less than twenty-one Lieutenant Colonels are honored by places In this glittering array of oourage and beauty," The Record Is mistaken, the Governor has not gone back on the Colonels. He is simply trying to strike a proper balance. The late Alexander 11. Stephens, when Governor, created a small army of Colonels, and Gov. Gordon wishes to give the subordinate office a chance. At Bar. Francisco a man named T. S. Baldwin has ‘just taken a leap of over 1,000 feet through tho air. He jumped from a balloon, and came down clinging to a parachute. The ease with which he made the lean suggests that Baldwin ought to become a politician. He could jump from one side of a question to the other without exerting himself. CURRENT COMMENT.

From the Washington Poet (Pern,) It Is not a pleasant sight to see ten Demo crats ally themselves with fourteen Kemtbli cans to postpone and defeat Beck’s bill to purge the Senate of railroad attorneys.

Ac Astonished Boniface. From the B elon Poet. When the iate Rev. Dr. Kirkland waapress dent of Harvard College. Porter's famous hostelrv in North Cambridge was a favorite resort, and mauv a merry party gathered in the cold winter days and nights about its roaring wood fires. One of tbc chief attrac tions of Porter’s was the “flip,” a delectable compound of a decidedly spirituous flavor which acquired a characteristic "tone" by b ung heated with a hot iron The farmers and drovers who freouented the noted hos telry were not the only customers for the flip. The college students keenly appreciated its attractions, and did not hest'ate to brave the csldost weather to enjoy them. Of course these practices did not escape the attention of President Kirkland, who re solved to ascertain for himself the nature of the beverage which tne student* indulged in. So he went up to the o!d hostelry and asked to ree the landlord. Porter, who knew the President, was greatly disturbed, as be knew he should receive a severe rebuke from the head of the college for catering to the tastes of convivially-inclintd student's. “Porter.” said Dr. Ivirklaud in a grave tone, "I under stand my young men come up here and drink your flip,” "Yes, sir.” replied the tavern keeper in a voice which told how he depre cated the expected admonition, “they do.” “Let me have some of that flip.” said the dig nilied President. Whereupon a mug of the beverage was brought out and was tasted by Dr. Kirkland. Then, fixing a stern glance upon Toner, who almost trembled under it, the President said: "And my yonng men come out here and drink this stuff, do they?” "Yes. sir,” meeklv replied the tavern keeper. "Well.” said Dr. Kirkland, draining the mug, "I should think they would.” Materials for Another “Evatigeline.' From the Providence Journal, A story of "utrage upon and cruelty to a civilized Indian community on the part ot the Dominion of Canada has just been made Known in Washington through an application for asylum in American territory. About thirty yeurs ago the Rev. Mr. Durham, a Method:- 1 clergyman, went from London, Eng., as missionary to an Indian tribe near Fort Simpson, British Columbia. This post is upon the Pacific, and upon the inlet which divides Columbia from Aiaska. The Indufns were then cannibals. Under Mr. Durham's teachings the tribe gradually became civil ized. Last year they numbered i,COO souls. They live in a well-built village, with schools and churches. Nearly every adult Indian owns a home. They have wharves and fish ing stations and packing hou-es. Since these lai ter were established the tribe has received $300,000 for canned salmon shipped to Liver pool. The village was in every respect well ordered, thoroughly civilized, and flour ishing. but ludians. under Dominion law, cannot hold land. Some sharks happened to beco ue acquainted wnb the facilities for trade offered at this place, and made entry at a British Columbia land oflice of the whole tract. It was sold to them, aod with it all tne homes, schools, stores and packing houses. The Indians protested. A gunboat went up from Victoria and brought down eight of the chief men, and they were thrown into jail. The case was appealed to :-ir John Alacdon ald, aud he confirmed the ea e. Application lias been made by Mr. Durham, who is in Washington, for permission to have the In dians move over into Alaska. Senators Teller and Plumb have advised that they move at once without waiting for official permission, a* they are sure to be given a place to live. Meantime some American tribes in Washing ton Territory have invited the despoiled com munity to come down and live with them until they can determine what to do. A Society Conversation. From the Neio York Woild. There was a society conversation at the en - trance of Delmonico’s Mondav night after the theatre. A gentleman with a solemn and de serted looking face stood staring at his boots morosely. Ills trousers fell in graceful folds around a pair of rather insecure looking legs, and his neck was encompassed bv a high col lar that was evidently a size or two tighter than was absolutely necessary. His hands were in his pocket# and his shoulders drawn forward. He was wrapped iu evening dress, fur coat and gloom At ihe moment of his deepest despondency a young lady, who was one of a theatre party of six, stopped, stared, gave a coy little flut ter, and, running over to where the howling swell stood, put out her hand and burst into a radiaut smile. ••M hy, Mr. Lamson.” she gushed happily, “how exceedingly odd to see you here. I thought, of course, you would go to Mrs. Browu-Jones’ dinner, at everybody’s tbeah. It's the mostextraordmary thing I ever hea’d of in m' life. How have you been these ages and ages? 1 really thought you had deserted New York.” Mr. Lamson slowly raised his head, looked at the rosebud with a shade less of harrowing agonv in his eve*, put Ins right forefinger calmly in her gloved hand, and openiDg'his mouth, stood there for a moment, slowlv gathering enough energy to speak.
