It trill contain a complete and comprehensive review of the trade of the city for the past year, And will show the progress the city has made in everything that helps to make up its wealth and ‘.hat contributes to its prosperity. The facts relating to cotton, naval stores and the different branches of the city's wholesale trade will be so presented as to give a clear idea Sf the city's business forth.; yenrending fk.pt. 1. The business men of Savannah cannot make a better investment than by buying; copies of tho Morning News Annual Special Edition and sending them to their friends and correspon- Ignts. A newspaper like this Special Edition, Containing an accurate account of the business of this city, is tho best advertisement of the energy and activity of the people of Savannah Every citizen, whether he is a capitalist, mer chant, manufacturer, mechanic ora man of leis ure, should feel a pride in the progress the city Is making, and in presenting to the world the Inducements which it offers to those who arc seeking homes in the South. This Special Edition will be sent to all sub scribers of the Daily and Weekly News, aud a large number of extra copies will be mailed, thoroughly covering the territory tributary to Savannah. Advertisers will find this Special Edition of great value, and space in its columns can b ob lalncd upon application to the Business Office. The Tybee road limy huve sunk a little, but it will rise again and eventually con quer all difficulties. The Legislature Ims been in session since early in July, but it lias not yet made much headway with any important nieasure. Little has been heard of Senator Brantloy’s naval stores bill lately. Doubtless it will some to the front soon and be the subject of an interesting discussion. Col. Dan Lament wants to be the boss of a newspaper. There is not much prospect, however, that he will boss Daniel Manning's paper at Albany, N. Y. It Is pretty safe to say that in proclaim tog the Irish Imnd league Lord Salisbury, In the expressive slang of the day, has “bit Dff more than he can chaw.” Tlia recent shipment of Hawaiian sugar to (few York will call out new protests from the Louisiana sugar planters against the Hawaiian treaty. The administration in restoring the in demnity lands to the public domain hasdone Inore to abolish povorty than McGlynn and George would bo able to do if they should live a thousand years. The Mugwumps ap|iear to l>e more in need of Mr. Cleveland than Mr. Cleveland isof the Mugwumps. At least they seem to be more anxious to remain on good terms with him than he does with them. The indorsement which the Kopublienn State Convention of Pennsylvania gave Mr. Blaino was far from being as enthusiastic as that which the Ohio Republican Conven tion gave Mr. Sherman, but it meant n groat deal more. It will probably bo discovered eventually that papers in criminal canes before Justices of the Peace are not the private property of those officials, and that the public Aim a right to see them when the preper request is made for the privilege. If the legislature enacts a law to encour age the establishment of savings hanks throughout the (State the prohibition coun ties would is* goo I places in which to locate them. The money that went into the saloons would iind its way into them. Senator Brantley said, in the coui*o of his remarks in opposition to the sale of the Ktute road, that the Legislature knew noth ing of the value of the road's property in Tennessee. That may be true, but it would know liefore it accepted a hid for the read. The scant water supply in this city has mused a great deal of growling. There is quite a good supply late in the ovoning, and if jxople will 1111 up their bath tubs at night they can have their accustomed bath in tiie morning. It would be well, however, for the water works authorities to get the big ' i>uuu>t> in order as soon os possible. Henry George s Party. ■ Henry Grorge now has a chsuce to see whether h>> has "•> strength outside of New York city. Ho s tit-- leader of the ticket which the United l-tlxu - Convention nominated at Syracuse las’ Friday, and be | is almt the only out' of the nominees who i has a jiersonnl following. The convention possessed several interesting features. - One of them was that it was | made up of men holding very different views upon political questions. It is certain that many of the delegates were not in sympathy with Henry George’s land theory, and it is probable that some of them nor only did not understand it, but did not want to. The United Labor party, however, was committed to that theory, and its campaign this fall will have to be fought upon it. Another curious feature was the refusal to have any connection with tbe Socialists. The Socialists were present, and a few of them succeeded in retaining their seats, but their doctrines were not permitted to bavin place in tho platform. It was agreed that they should not bo antagonized, but that did not satisfy them, and they are busy now in New York city trying to get up a party of their own. The hostility to the Socialists was rather remarkable in view of the fact that Henry George's teachings are only a modified form of socialism. The United Labor party will lie watched with deep interest during the fall campaign in New York. The New York press is certainly paying a great deal of at tention to it. The New York World, a day or two ago, published a lending editorial, the tone of which was so friendly to it as to excite surprise and comment. Tho fact is not forgotten that at the mu nicipal election in New York city last, year tho United Labor pju’ty, witli Ilenry George as its candidate for Mayor, polled (18,000 votes. It ■polled more votes than the Repub lican party, and within a few thousand of as many as the Democratic party. The question which is being asked now is, Can tho ticket which was nominated at Syra cuse poll as many votes as Henry George did for Mayor, and if so, what will be tho effort on the Democratic and Repub lican parties in Now York. Henry George claims that liis ticket will get 100,000 votes, and that tho United Labor party will take part in the Presidential contest next year. From this statement the importance of that party is apparent. If New York is the pivotal .Stale in tbe next national contest, as it was in the last, it becomes a matter of great Interest to know how many votes the United Labor party can control in that State, and from which of the great parties they will be chiefly drawn. There is some reason for thinking that the United Labor party will not poll as many, votes this fall as it did a year ago. When Henry George ran for Mayor there was great dissatisfaction with regard to muni cipal matters in New York city. Thou sands voted for him, not because they be lie visl in his land theory, but because they lielioved him to be an honest man, and that he would make a good Mayor. Other thou sands voted fjr him because it was popular to do so among workingmen. The same reasons for voting for him a year mro do not exist now, and it is not improbable that there will boa fulling off, instead of an in crease, in the Union Labor party vote. Of course, the Henry George ticket will get no support from tho formers. They believe that land pays more taxes than it ought to now, and they will hardly vote for a man who advocates tho taxing of land to such an extent as to make tho State practi cally the owner of it. The Republicans are rather inclined to encourage the new party because they pro fess to believe that it will draw its strength chiefly from tho Democrats. They hope that it will enable them to carry New York. The result may prove, however, that their calculations wore erroneous. Tho doctrines of Ilenry George are so near akin to socialism that they appeal, strongly to the Gormans, who arc in the main Republicans. The chances are that the United Labor party will damage the Republican as much as it will tho Democratic party. Origin of the Tolliver Vendetta. Many stories are told about tho origin of the famous Tolliver vendetta in Kentucky. Some of them ai*o plausible, but most of them doubtless have no other foundation than the imaginations of their authors. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Timex-Star gives wliat is probably the true origin of the vendetta. Ho saVs that during President Arthur’s administration Craig Tolliver and a man named Humphries were candidates for the same county office. The prohibition vote was cast for the latter and he was elected. Tolliver said that Humphries’ election was a disgrace to Kentucky, and assorted that he should not take possession of the office. Nevertheless, Humphries was sworn ill and began the discharge of his duties. Soon after, John Martin, Hum phries’ brother-in-law, met Tolliver's brother, slipped his revolver under his vic tim’s iu'in and emptied its contents into his body. Tolliver and his relations and friends determined to have revenge. Martin was sent to another county for safe keeping, but was brought back upon an order forged by Tolliver and was shot dead. It is said that when Martin’s body was buried, it was nearly double its usual weight be cause of tho lead in it. Succeeding this tragedy, a family of Logans joint<d the Humpbrles-Martiu faction, and then a guerrilla war was begun, with the Hum phries, Martins and Logans on one side and the Tollivers and their relatives and friends on the other. Many were killed, until Anally Craig Tolliver lost his life. Sinco then the fcffnte authorities, aided by tho military, have manuged to maintain tho peace; but, as there are still alive many be longing to both factions, it is believed that more blood will yet be shed. The experiment of paying the United States troops once a month has been very favorably received by hotli officers and men. If the experiment Ixoonws the regular prac tice, it is probable that duplicated pay ac counts will not. bo so common. Secretary of tho Interior has gone to the mountains to seek relief from hay fever. Tho mau who discovers a sure remedy for this disease will have a bigger bonanja than tho man who invented tho telephone. A syndicate of wealthy Western distillers has secured a monopoly on whisky which promises to yield millions. If the Prohibi tionists don’t capture tho country their ex pectations may be realized. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com pany lias consented to abolish tho dangerous “Y” which caused the accident at Washing ton the otbor day. It ought to havo beeu abolished long ago. TIIE MORNING NJJWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 1887. Another Pension Grab Proposed. The new service pension bill, which is to he introduced into Congress and which is now being circulated among the Grand Army Posts for their indorsement, is not meeting with much favor from some of tho lea bug Republican journals. It Is an out rageous bill, and should ho strongly con domned. If it. wore to become a law men who have never boon near a battlefield, and who are in j.he possession of health and wealth, would receive pensions. As much ns $150,000,000 a year would be necessary to meet its requirements. That amount, together with the already heavy pension charges, would make a pension burden much heavier than the peoplo would will ingly bear. The South has uttered no protest against the pensioning of ex Union soldiers who, on account of disabilities received in the con il.ct between the States, are unable to earn a li.ving, although her own disabled veterans have to provide for themselves, but she will certainly protest against this proposed ser vice pension bill. No Congressman, whether from tho North or South, will do his whole duty to his constituents if he ad vocates or votes for it. The pension charge now is an immense one, and will bo very much greater when all the applications for pensions on filo under existing laws are dis posed of. Unfortunately there are more Congress men who seek popularity than there are who look out for the good of the country. They are all the time trying to cultivate tho soldier vote, and are ready to make any sacrifice of principle to gain it. Unless men are sent to Congress who are not afraid of this vote tho pension charge in a few years will lie greater than all the other ex penses of the government combined. It is a question whether pensions have benefited pensioners as a class. Tiiere are many no doubt who would suffer for the actual necessities of life if it were not for tho help they receive from the government, but for every one of these there are doubt less ton who have been made non-producers, and perhaps worthless idlers, by pension money. Being sure of enough to live upon they have ceased to exert themselves to improve their material condition. It is doubtful if the ex-Union soldiers, notwithstanding the hun dreds of millions of dollars which have been paid to them by the government, are as well off to-day as the cx-Confederate soldiers. In fact, poverty is more notice able nt tho North than nt the South among those who took an active part in the war. As soon as the war was ended the necessity was upon the Southern soldier to go to work at once to keep himself and those dependent upon him from starving. Even those who were suffering from sickness and wounds made a brave effort to earn a living. The consoquenoo was that in a few veal's the Southern soldier, while not in prosperous circumstances, was tieyondtho fear of want, and was cheerful and hopeful with regard to the liiture. The Northern soldier, if he were in the least disabled, found a pension ready for him as soon as ho was discharged from the army. He leaned at once upon the govern ment, and has been leaning upon it ever since. The soldiers who wore not provided for immediately began petitioning Congress for help, and they havo never ceased to pre sent their claims for assistance. The re sult is that at the North there is a much larger percentage of paupers in pro portion to the population than at the South. That this is to some extent duo to the pen sion policy there is no doubt. And yet, with this fact so plain that the ex-soldiers cannot fail to see it, they aro about to petition Con gress to pass another pension bill that will give them about 8150,000,000 a year. Con gress will make a gravo mistake if it grants their petition. Senator-elect Pasco, of Florida, called on tho President the other day nt Oak View, and immediately afterwards fell into the hands of tho interviewer. He said; “Mr. Cleveland struck me as a man very easy of approach. I could discover nothing osten tatious alxnit him. lie lives plainly aud democratically. Of course, at Oak View he is' free from official care, and can receive his friends with more freedom than he could properly at the White House. Iffy visit was purely social. Wo did not talk politics. I was very much impressed with the Presi dent’s home. It’s so quiet; and tlieu the surrounding country presents such a changing panorama to tho eye. You'can see tho capitol in the distance. 1 thiuk the President showed excellent taste when he selected the place. ” Senator Pasco may not find the President quite so pleasant when lie visits him for the purpose of soliciting place for some of his Florida constituents, The average Congressman would be much hap pier if he could enjoy all the benefits which patronage confers, without having to beg for places for his friends. Congressman lirumm, a loud-voiced Groenbncker of Pennsylvania, says that, the fighting |>int in the next campaign will lie: Huve the Democrats fulfilhxi their pledges to the country? If Brumin, who is n Hl,duo man, asks this question on the stump he will lie answered with such an affirmative shout that he will he lead to be lieve that he is not well informed n.s to what the fighting )K)int is. However, nobody ever pays much attention to what Brumni says. • It is raid the debate on the Dean bill, which provides for the sale of the State rood, has not as yet changed the views of any of the members of tho Legislature with respect to tho question of the advisability of selling that property. If this statement, is correct it cannot he said that those who have s|>oket) on the bill arc very powerful orators. It must lw admitted, however, that Senator Dean made a strong argument in favor of his measure. Judge Potter, of Now York, takes n long time to make up his mind whether or not Jacob Sharp should have a stay of proceed ings in his case, If ho delays his decision much longer he may have no occasion to render it, as Sharp's physical condition is reported to In* such that, he may die within a very short time. The New York Star, finding that it was making very slow progress in collecting enough money to build a monument to tho memory of (lei). Grant, has agnxxl to boom a steel pen manufacturing 'establishment to help along the fund. The pens are to be sold for $1 50 per gross, and 81 of the amount is to go to the monument fund. The Prohibitiouists of Texas claim that they polled a majority of the Democrats of that State in tho Into |>rohil)ition contest. There is no doubt that they {rolled a good many Democratic votes, but the best au thorities doubt that they polled the mujority of them. CURRENT COMMENT. Dancor Politicians Must Look Out For. From the Boston Globe (.Dent.) The noliti!al wirepullers are at work, and some or them will find that they’ve got hold of tho barl>ed kind. \ To the Point. From the Galveston Newt (Dem.) The platform of every political jwirty is, or should be, the application of it formulated judgment to vita! issues of public iolioy. And this application should be direct and pertinent, and not through the devious medium of specious and misleading words. The End of Their Folly Approach^*?. From the Washington Post (Deni.) Horace Greeley would have his liens lay eggs at ( ’happaqua if they cost him 25c. apiece, and Pennsylvania Republicans intend to produce everything possible in their own State it they can persuade the rest of the country to pay them a profit. The end of this folly anil wickedness is nearer than they think. Georgia and the Celebration. From the Philadelphia News (Rep.) In his adaress.to the people of Georgia in re gard to the Constitutional Centennial, and that state’s relations to it. Gov. Gordon speaks tiie language of a true put riot. He gives no niggard or reluctant support to this great event in this city, but sets forth in eloquent and fitting terms the nature of the celebration, and the reasons why Georgia should bear an important part in it.

A PRETTY WOMAN’S PERIL. Mrs. Ella Dinamore on Trial for Mur. der in the Oil Regions. From the Few York Nun. Oil City, Auk On April 5, a great sensa tion was produced throughout the oil regions by the killing of J. C. Darts, by David King, at the residence of Mrs. Ella Dinsmore, in St. Peters burg* Clarion county. Davis was a wealthy oil operator. King was a dashing handsome man about town, and Mrs. Dinsmorfe was a stylish fine-looking woman, neither pure as snow nor chaste as ice. King was arrested, and, after a sensationaltrial at Clarion, was found guilty ot murder in the first degree. Since then be has been locked up awaiting senteuce. The trial devel oped testimony which pointed to a conspiracy between Mrs. Dinsmore and King to put Davis out of the way* and after the conviction of King, Mrs. Dinsmore was arrested, at 11 o'clock at night,iu her room at the Loomis House, where she was stopping with her daughter Lillian, a hand some girl of 16. Last week the grand jury found a true bill against her for being an accessory before the fact, and she is now on trial for her life. Mrs Dinsmore is 35 years of ago. She is at tended by her daughter Lillian and her mother, •Mrs. Phillips, aged 77 years, of Russell burg. Warren county. Penjisylvania. The sto3 T of the killing is an interesting one. Davis had returned from St. Louis, where be had-been to attempt a reconciliation with his wife, who had refused to live with him on account of bis infatuation for Mrs. Dinsmore. His mission was unsuccessful. King had supplanted him in the affections of Mrs. Dinsmore, and the two men met on the Street and had an angry conversation. King went to the residence of Mrs. Dinsmore, and was soon followed by Davis. A few minutes after the latter entered the house a pistol shot was heard, and Davis was found dead ou the floor with a bullet hole in his eye and King's pistol beside him. Davis was blind in one eye, and the supjjosition is that King had aimed at this defective eye and flred. Davis had a pistol at the time, and Mrs. Dinsmore testified that he had pressed the muzzle against her head, threatening to kill her, and at the time be was shot he had his body part way through a door which he was trying to force open to kill King swore to the same story, and said he snot in self-defifchce. The theory was set up by the lawyers that Davis had been inveigled to Mrs. Diusmore's house, and there taunted into a rage by King ard the woman, and then deliberately mur dered by them to get possession of his property, among which was the house in which Mrs. Dinsmore lived. There was little evidence to bear out this theory, but the jury found a verdict accordingly, and Mrs. Dinsrjiore's arrest fol lowed. There is a great deal of intepest throughout the oil regions in the trial, and the court room is crowded daily. A BUST OF MRS. CLEVELAND. The Ambitious Secret of St. Gaudens, the New York Sculptor. A dispatch from Marion, Mass., to the New York World says: A most interesting and ro mantic story his just leaked out in connection with this sylvan studio. Mr. St. Gaudens, a young and promising New York sculptor, has of late been visiting the Gilders. He is a very intimate friend of the ediror of the Century , and the two spend a great dei 1 of time in the hitters' beautiful rerre.it, cue writing and the other modelling, while Mrs. Gilder, close at hind, busies herself with her pallette and easel. Young St. Gaudens has long been anxious to try his hand upon a subject worthy of his ambitious skill, and the longed-for opportunity presented itself when the l ivsident's wife, at at the solicitation of the Gilders, consented a few days ago to sit for a bust. St. Gaudens, of course, was both grati fied and delighted, and all the preparations were secretly made for the artistic effort. After care ful consultation the secluded literary workshop of Mrs. Gilder was chosen as the place in which to hold the sittings. Thither, therefore, almost every forenoon sine, Mrs. Cleveland has driven with her mother, following the little-used, and shady hack road through the woods in order to escape public notice. So far the secret has been well kept,, as it has been the desire of St. Gaudens not to have the fact that he was making a plaster portrait of the President's wife noised abroad, until the ar tistic success of the effort had been assured. Till the Judgment Day. From the Philadelphia News. The sun shines bright ly o'er land and sea, Bringing sweet memories back to me; Memories of those who have now gone away, Never to return till the Judgment Day. Sweet were the looks of my dying child: Her ways were winning, her temper mild; But God hath taken my darling away, Never to return till the Judgment Day. Dear little Ethel, I loved her well; Yea, more than a thousand tongues can tell; But God thought best to take her away, Never to return till the Judgment Day. God always takes the fairest flower To bloom in his heavenly bower, And one by one he takes them away, Never to return till the Judgment Day. Then, mothers, why do you look so sad? If they lived for them it might have been bad, And soon God will take me also away, Never to return till the Judgment Day. A. G. H. Why She Let Him Go. From the Omaha World.
