Special attention will be given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. The Hartford Times Is mistaken in say ing that the South had no cotton mills lie fore the war. Georgia had several. The new two-cent postage stamp is to be green. Uncle Sam evidently means to keep the public reminded of the color of the shin plasters which represent money. The General Assembly of Georgia is not the only legislative body that is hard at work this warm weather. The New Hamp shire Legislature is also in session. The star spangled banner was adopted as the national ensign just 100 years ago this month. It is strange that nobody has pro posed a centennial celebration of the event. The Boston Traveler says: “The grip of Grover Cleveland on the - National Democ racy seems complete." The Traveler is right, and the grip of Grover Cleveland on the country is also complete. In Upper Neck, N. J., a man who is C foet 0 inches in height has a wife who measures only 4 feet. It hardly seems reasonable, but it is said that he is as much afraid of her as he would tie if she wore a giantess. George Gould will spend the summer in New York. Money making must have very great charms for him, or he would hardly swelter in New York when he might follow his father’s example and keep cotd at sea. Down in Alabama they are talking of Gov. Seay as a possible Democratic candi date for Vico President It is strange how many Southern States seem to be anxious to got rid of their Governors. They will all be disappointed, however. It is stabe< 1 that if all the railroads on earth were placed end to end the result would lie a double iron band which would go around the world eight times. Fifty years heneo it is likely that the railroads, if so placed, will go around the earth sixteen times. Mr. George M. Steams, of Massachusetts, says; “There ought to bo no ‘soldier vote.’ Evory vote should be that of an American citizen." Mr. Stearns is quite right, hut there will contiuue to be “soldier votes’’ as long os there are politicians to manipulate the veterans of the war. During tin- hot weather many of tho citi zen* of Pittsburg, Pa., sieop out on tho cel lar doors and grocer stands at night, and tho Mayor has decided t hat none hut those who snore shall be arrested for thus making bed rooms of the streets. To catch those who snore must keep tho police continually on the run. The proprietor of an Alban}-, N. Y., res taurant shot himself dead the other day, while waiting for a breakfast that he hail ordered in his owu establishment. Perhaps ether restaurant proprietors might end their lives iu a similar way If they should under take to wait for moals prepared iu their es tablishments. Patience has it3 limits, anil to a nan unused to the delays iu restaurants suicide is likely to result after his patience is exhausted. Kays tho Nashville Anwrican: “A hill malting lying a penal olfenso is ponding iu tins Georgia Legislature. If it passes, the throe or four free trade editors of that Ktuto will have to go out o? business.” This beautiful utterance is a sample of the arguments used by the high tarilf organs. Iking entirely without n reasonable founda tion for their udvocacy of the iniquities of protection, they resort to abusoof those who favor tariff reduction. Perhaps the most novel invitation yet extended to President Cleveland was that sent liim the other day from Colorado. Home fifty persons, teproaenting almost every Btnle in tho Union, aaoended Pike’s Peak, and when on top organized. Tho mooting appointed 8. J. Kisher, of bt. Louis, Judge Keer. of Colorado, and Kate P. Ham ilton. of Mouth Carolina, a committee to draft resolution* inviting the President to extend his Western visit to Colorado and Pike’s Peak. The invitation was forwarded uiunisLuUiir. i Higgins and the Mugwumps. Sons - of the Mugwump journals are de termined that Treasury Appointment Clerk Higgins shall not sink into obscurity. They improve every opportunity to keep him lief ore the public, and he appears to ap preciate the notoriety which they give him. The position which he holds is a rather in significant one, and it is remarkable that they devote so much attention 1o him. He hasn’t the power to make appointments and it is extremely doubtful if he have ayy influ ence whatever in disposing of tie/ public patronage. All that ho does is to keep a record of the vacancies, and of the appliea tion for places in his department. Why such an unimportant official should boa target for so many Mugwupip journals is one of the tilings that are past finding out. It is alleged that lie took au active part in the recent Ilemocratio primaries in Balti more, and that lie proved himself to be, while the primaries were in progress, a loud mouthed partisan and on aggr*issivo op ponent of civil service reform. It is also alleged that the Civil Service Reform Asso ciation of that city noted bis conduct and announced its purpose to prefer charges against him. It is worthy of notice that it has not yet profeiTed charges, and the latest report is that it has Concluded not to do so. Why it has changed its intention does not appear. Perhaps it never had any ground for making charges, and that all the stories about Higgins having rim the Baltimore primaries in the interest of his political friends originated in the imaginations of not very-voracious mugwump scribes. The Baltimore Sun says Higgins’ only offense is that ho happened to be in Balti more on the dhy that the primaries were held, and that ho shares the views expressed in the platform of his party in Maryland on the civil service question. The Sun further says that there has not been a party contest in that city for years that was so free from outside interference ns tho recent one, and that the defeated candidates have made no serious complaints respecting tho tuunnor in which the primaries were conducted. This is pretty good evidence that Higgins did nothing for which he could ho called to ac count. and it would be a mistake, therefore, to follow the advice of tho Mugwump jour nals and give him a chance to pose as a martyr. Higgins is not a civil service reformer and doesn’t pretend to be. He suid in an in terview a few days ago, however, that the President was only enforcing tho law and complying with the platform upon which he was elected. Ho further said that while he did not’lieliovo in civil service reform he was iloipg what he could in his humble way to enforce the civil service law. There are plenty of Republicans and some Democrats doubtless holding more important positions in the public service than Higgiqs who arc not civil service reformers. Why not at tack them instead of Higgins; Why should this Baltimore ward politician, whoso views on civil service reform, or any other sub ject, don’t affect the administration a feather’s weight, be continually thrust into prominence? The Florida Railroad Commission. Tho Governor of Florida delayed appoint ing the Railroad Commissioners until tin last moment. The Commissioners were ap pointed the day the commission law went into effect. The appointments were made soon enough, however, for all practical pur poses. The Governor appears to have sought for eapuble Commissioners, and time alone can determine whether he was wholly successful. They are all men of ability and integrity, but because they have those qualities it doesn’t follow that they will administer the rail road commission law wisely. Judge Mc- Whorter has the confidence of tho people of the -State in an eminent dogreo. A little more than a month ago he resigned the office of Chief Justice, a position which ho fillod with ability and great acceptability. He has a fortune and doubtless accepts the ap pointment of railroad commissioner more because ho is anxious to bo of service to the State (lion for uny other reason. Judge Vann is held in high esteem by tho bar of the Htato, and as a Judge ho has dis played qualities which mark him as a man of strong character and fine attainments. Mr. Himes is a farmer, and is known as a practical man with a good head for affairs and plenty sound, common senso. Ho has had some experience as a legislator. These three men will have some trouble some questions to settle, doubtless, while they are getting the law into working sha)ie, but if they keep steadily in view the fact that tho interests of tho whole people are not nat urally hostile to those of the railroads, and, also, that the aim should lie to promote the welfare of the whole btute ralh >r thau any jiaj-tieulnr part of it, they will bo nblo to administer the law with very little friction. The popular wish is that unjust discrimina tion shall be cheeked and that railroad building shall he promoted. Referring to Mr. John 11. Inman’s pur chase of 10,000 shares of Control railroad stock, tho New York Times says that he thus becomes a director in over 10,000 miles of Southern railroad, and that no other man has unv such record. “It isdilllcult to realise,” continues the Times, “that this man, who has poured millions of money into tho New South, enmo out of tho war with but a tattered Confederate uniform for his solo possession in the whole world. His ca reer has much that is wonderful in it. Every dollar that he owns, and ho is u mil lionaire many times over, he has made him self since tho war time, when he come to Now York for n clerkship. Now York has adopted no son that has brought her more honor." This is high praise, but it is not undeserved. • George C. Meade Post, No. 1, of tho Grand Army of the Republic, has mode a discov ery which it ought to bring to the atten tion of Pnirchlld, Tuttle, etal. At a pri vnfo meeting in Philadelphia, the other night, the Post considered a proposition to invito President Cleveland to h i o[k<ii camp lire upon the occasion of the centennial cele bration of tho adoption of the constitution. The proposition was rejected, upon tho ground that the invitation might lie con strued into a political movement, “and the Grand Army of tho Republic was not a political organization." Fairchild. Tuttle, etal.. have a different view of the Grand Army of tbo Republic from that cutertuiu od by Post No. 1. George E. McNeill, who some time ago was the labor Candida ts for Mayor of bow ton, appears to have learned b valuable lesson, lie says that the Knights Of Labor have tried to do too much. They have thus weakened their forces and scattered their lire instead of concentrating it upon one given idea. The Knights of Labor will never accomplish much as long oh they cou- Uuuu the course pointed out by McNeill. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1887. Gen. Gillmore’e Recommendation. Gen. Gillmore in his annual report makes a recommendation with respect to tho ap propriation for the Savannah harbor which ought to tie adopted by Congress. It is that the whole amount estimated to bo necessary to complete the improvement, Vie made available in oneappropriation. The wisdom of this recommendation is apparent to all who have any knowledge of the delays and losses which are inseparably connected with tho i eiiicy which Congress has heretofore pursued in making river and harbor ap propriations. In its anxiety to make the river and harbor bill as small as possible, with the view of impressing the country with the idea that it is extremely economical, Con gress appropriates only about one-third of the amount that, according to the estimates of the engineers in charge of public works, can be profitably expended during the next fiscal year. Tho result, so far as tho Savannah hurbor is concerned, has been that the appropriation for one year has been expended long lietore that for tho fol lowing year has become available, and, con sequently. work on the improvement has been abandoned for wveral months each year. Within tho last few years Congress has twice failed to pass a riwr and harbor bill, and as a consequence of these failures work on the Savannah harlior has been suspended for very considerable periods. Whenever work is suspended the incom plete improvement* suffer damage, and it costs a greut deal to put them In the condi tion they were when work on them was stopped. Besides this additional expense the river shoals and commerce is very seri ously obstructed. It is evident, therefore, that, it is t<i the interest of the government, as well as of the section of country concern ed in tho improvement of the Havaimab harbor, that the whole amount necessary to complete t!e improvement should be appropriated In one lump sum. The money will be used only as it is needed, but it will be possible to push the improve ment forward rapidly and continuously until it is complete.!. By adopting Gen, Gillmore’* recommendation Savannah will have her harlior improved years sooner than it will otherwise be and the government will save many thousands of dollars. Grand Army Soptiment The resolutions adopted by tho National Veterans’ Association, of Des Moines, la,, and presented to the President on Wednes day by Get). Roseerans show that men like Fairchild and Tuttle do not voice the sentiments of all the ex-Union soldiers with respect to the President. The resolutions repudiate the utterances of those members of the Grand Army who wereehiefly instru mental in causing the President to with draw his acceptance of tho invitation to visit St. Louis, and who used the flag inci dent to stir up sectional feeling. They also commend the President for his voto of the dejiendent pension bill, and compliment Gen. Black’s administration of the pen sion oflico. In presenting the resolutions Gen. Rose orans said that there wins good reason for saying that they expressed the sentiments of a much larger part of the Grand Army of the Republic than tho speeches of those who lately tried to array that organization against the Executive of tho nation. Indi cations have been cropping out lately that the effort to control the Grand Army iu the interest of the Republican party will not be successful There is no doubt that the most noisy members of the Grand Army uro Re publican iioliticinns, and they have suc ceeded in creating an impression that the organization is hostile to the President. The President, however, is not without friends, and plenty of them among tho Grand Army men, and that fact will make itself apparent before the next national campaign is over. The veto of tho deixmdont pension bill was a wise act, and it was so declared by a majority of the leading newspapers of tho country. Several Grand Army posts passed resolutions indorsing it. The fact that the President has signed more pension bills than any one of his predecessors is satisfactory evidence that ho has no objection to proper pension legislation. He does object, how ever, to pension legislation that is not founded on justice and right, and ho has tho courage to put the stamp of liis disapproval upon it. His integrity and courage cannot fail to win the admiration of right-thinking men, whether they are members of the So ciety of the Grand Army or not. Partifau attacks may create false impressions with regard to him iu tho minds of many, but it is impossible to prevent the great majority from getting a correct understanding of his true character. Women are in demand in Crosby county, Tex., and that they nro appreciated there the following advertisement printed iu the county paper will show: “Wanted Imme diately--Olio hundred single young women who are prepared to rough it for a time, to come to tho Panhandle and marry our thrifty young men who have located on 040 acres of laud and are now living in dug outs. tents nnd cabins. Wo cun speak a good word for every one of tho boys: they are all noble American citizens except one, und bo is a little unfortunate in being the son of on English lord. Girls, this is a good chance. Besides married life will beat single blessedness overy time. In a few months time the du<rnuts will lie turned into cellars nnd con 'o table houses erected when the railroads bring in lumber.” For some time a paragraph has bean going the rounds to tbo effect that Senator John Sherman’s only child, u daughter named Mary, is a great favorite in Washington society. The lJt)iladclphia .Ycies declares th it the paragraph contains a grave mis take. Senator and Mrs. Sherman have never hud any children. The young Italy known as their daughter was fougd liy them 1 in an orphan asylum when sho was an iu funt. They adopted her, and she lias since been treated as their own daughter. According to tne last census of Chicago there are in that city I,WJS lawyers. Of these, MX) are supposed to earn $750 a year each. Five ore believed to have an income of $.100,000 each. Tho entire sutu jiaid nn nually to Chicago’s lawyers is estimated to be $10,000,000, most of which comes out of the pockets of people who seek divorces. It is probable that Now York lawyers average larger fees than any others in the country. Bostou, which is tho homo of all the “isms,” is soon to be visited by a Parse© priest.

(Deni. ) Hauled before the Interstate Commerce Com mission for putting negroes iu “jlm crow cars," the Georgia railroad responds that these coaches are not, in fact, "jim crow cars,' but are so called by evil-disposed persons without its con sent, and to its detriment and injury. Against these evil disposed persons it therefore prays relief from the commission "if its large powers extend to such a case." This resixinse leaves no doubt that tho Georgia railroad nos lawyers who six: the humorous side of attempting to en force the exploded civil rights bill as a ’natter of interstate commerdß. Abolishing Poverty. Prom the Poston Herald (Ind.) It would tie amusing, were there not a pain ful side to it, to hear men talk about aliollshing iioverty by shifting the bearing of one of our lightest burdens. At the outside, what the workingman |su sin taxes, direct and indirect, is not a fifth of his expenses, and a large part of it comes in the rent of his dwellings, which would cost more were ail the taxes laid oil land. Of course, the uien who talk this nonsense about the abolition of poverty by a device so inade quate are either fools or knaves. Generally, we presume, they aim at abolishing their own pov erty by talk rather than work. BRJGIIT BITS.

I A CHILD’S TEARS. What the Mother of a Dying: Child Saw in the Mirror of Life. From the Detroit Free Press. Once wlieu a child was ill unto death its mother kneeled and prayed to heaven that Its life might be spared. As she prayed and wept an angei softly took its place beside her and whispered: “Heaven has sent me in answer to your prayer. Her'- is (he mirror of life; watch well and tell me what you see. ' And then us the mother wiped away her tears and held the mirror before her the angel asked: “What is the picture?” “It is that of a fair-faced boy of 10.” “Are there tears in his eyes?’’ “There are no tears.” “Then the angels of heaven are weeping for him. Look again and tell me what you see.” “This time it is a youth of 15 It is the same boy as before, hut older grown, and the face is not so gentlo ” “Are there tears in his eyes?" “There are no tears.” ' Then there is sadness among the angels in Heaven. When human eyes are dry of tears the heart is full of evil ” Then the mother looked again, and when the angel asked what she saw she answered : “One just coming to man's ‘■state It is the same face as before, but it is in the darkness, and I see lines of evil.” "Look closer and tell me if you see tears." “There are no tears.” “Then there is grief in Ilenven. and heart aches on earth. lie who never weeps has gone far wrong. Look again and tell me what you see.” "This time it is a man in convict's garb, and his evil look appals the heart.” “Are there no tears in his eyes?” “There are no tears.” “Then the angels of heaven weep. Without tears there can be no repentance. I charge you to look once more." "This time it is one lying dead in the darkness —no watchers no one to weep—nothing but the gloom of night around him.” “And are there tears upon the face of the dead?" “There are no tears.” “Then, alas! it is another soul consigned to everlasting darkness! Turn the glass and look for the last time. What do you behold?" “A child—my child- upon its bed of sickness. Oh! Angel of Mercy, 1 pray thee to spare its sweet young life!" “Are there tears?” “Aye! there are tears!” “Then I shall kiss them away, and the angel of heaven will rejoice as I hear the innocent spirit within the golden gates.” THE KIMBALL ARCADE. A Good Story Told There On a News paper Traveling Man. From the Atlanta Journal. Col. Ed. Calloway, of the Kimball, tells a good K'.ory on Mr. Gontry, the veteran newspaper traveling man. Some years ago Gentry, who was at that time representing the Savannah Moknino News, came to Camilla at a time when Judge Pete Strozier was holding court. He and another mao were smoking as they talked at the court house door; and ttie probability is that their cigars were not of t he best, for his honor caught an unpleasant whilf of tobacco smoke and or dered the smokers into court. Gentry heard the order and quietly extinguished his cigar. The other man still puffed away and the Sheriff brought him up before the judge, who lectured him sharply aud fined him Si. “Mr. Sheriff," said his honor, “that other man in the door was smoking, too; bring him into court." Gentry was brought in, and the court asked him what he was doing there, anyway. "May it please the court," said Uentry, with great dignity, “I am here representing an insti tution which has a great and beneficent influ ence upon the lives and characters of a large number of people throughout this section. It not only disseminates the truth on a great many questions, but performs the office of a moral educator of the people. Not only this, but it very largely increases the prosperity of this section, in that it furnishes informa tion upon which those who sell cot ton, naval stores, and other important commodities may safely act in marketing their products. This institution is a powerful auxil iary to the courts in maintaining the peace, good order and dignity of the State and the ma jesty of the law. I refer to the Savannah Moknino News, which I now represent, both in the daily and weekly editions. The daily is $lO per annum and tee weekly sl. I w ould be pleased to take your honor's subscription to either edition, and——” “Mr. Sheriff, take this man out of court; he’s crazy!" roared the Judge. Gentry retreated in good order and established himself in the court yard, where he did a big business in subscriptions. Soldier, Maiden and Flower. From, the Chicago News. “Sweetheart, take this,” a soldier said, “Anil bill me brave good-by; It may befall we no’er shall wed, But love can never die. “Bo steadfast in thy troth to me, Aud then wbate'er my lot, ‘My soul to God. my heart to thee'— Sweetheart, forget me not!” The maiden took the tiny flower And fed it with her tears; Lo. he who left her in that hour Came not iu after years. Upon the field a-demon rode ’Mid shower of flame and shot, While iu the maiden's heart abode The flower forget-me-not. And when he came not with the rest Fr an out those years of blood, Closely unto her widowed breast She pressed the withered bud. Ob, there is love and there is pain. And there is peace, God wot; And these dear three do live again 111 sweet forget-me-not, *Tis to his unmarked grave to-day That I should love to go; AVhether ho wore the blue or gray, Whut need that we should know? “He loved a woman,” let us say, And on that hallowed spot. To woman's love fhut lives for aye We ll btrew forget-me-not. El’cene Field. A Logical Child F>'om the Boston Transcript.
