Pres.dent Harrison seems t > 1)3 gr *wing
rapidly in unpopularity. His record in this
respect promises t > be phenome: al.
A Bostonian, named Dudley, is in South
Carolina, trying to reorganize the Republi
can party of that state. His idea is to
ignore the colored republicans, and to pay
particular ettei.ti* n to in dependent demo
crats. Hr. Dudley has undertaken a tough
job.
The Shah of Persia is notv visiting various
countries, but the Persian minister at
Washington announces tuathe ca not c line
to the United States, because there is
nobody h re with rank e louth to receive
him. What bas become of Crown Prince
Russell Harrison!
A funny state of affairs exist i among the
southern republicans. P>r instance, in
Alabama and South Carolina there is a
movemeut to organize a riiito Republican
party, while- iu Virginia colored republicans
have resolved to black all the white repub
licans. The blacks do not s *e,u to be with
out pride.
Col. Elliott F. S iepart lectured again
last Sunday, and he was particularly severe
upon Sunday newspapers. It happous that
tbe colonel owns an evening newspaper,
and that evening newspupe-s don’t print
Sunday editions. If he owned a morning
newspaper it would be interesting to
observe what he would do as each Sabbath
approached.
Since Slugger .Sullivan’s last big spres he
has been sen: into the country, and he is
now learning something concerning the life
of a farmer, and at the s i no ti ne h * is b *-
ing trained for the slugging in itch in which
he is expected to take part soo.i. When ap
proached by a repo ter the other day, he
was engaged iu the peaceful occupation of
splitting wood.
The Baltimore American seems to think
that it is a disgraci to the country that
Minister Reid is to be paid only $17,500 a
year, and that lie must pay $20,000 a year
for the rent of o house in B n is. It stnk s
most people that $17,500 a year is vorv giod
pay. Mr Reid is not required to live iu a
palace. A less expensive houso would
shelter himself and family very comfortu
bly.
The cotton seel oil industry is growing
rapidly in South Carolina. Since Jan. 1.
1889, t. ere have been sixteen applications
for charters for cotton seed oil mills iu that
state. This is very good evidence that the
industry is a paying one. The miLs give
abcut fly a ton for cotton seed, and, if all
of tbe seed in the state were consumed, the
amount paid it would be about fy, 000,000 a
year.
Senator Edmunds is auother republican
who ha recently expressed his disapproval
of the use of money in e.oc ions, except for
legitimate purpi.es. In a magazine article
he suggests better registration laws, a
secret bullot, restriction of Immigration
and natu. alization and the publication
of ca npaign expomes as a remedy for
dishonest election methods. No doubt the
senator has forward and a marked copy of tbe

Mr. Cleveland’s Spesctt.
The speech of Mr. Cleveland, at the din
ner given in his honor, on M today night,
by the You g Men’s Democratic Club < f
New York, the full t xt of which was
printed in our dispatches yesterday, was on
the hgh plane of all of his public utter
ances. It was a short speech, bit an excel
lent one. It was in harmony with his
political career. In it he presented clearly
the thought that has guided him since he
entered public life.
Waen Mr. Cleveland was in offlte ha kept
steadily iu view the fact that he was a sar -
vant of tho people, and that he was the
administrator of a great tru3t. He recog
nized that this trust was to be ad ministered
for the public good, and not to grati v bis
own wishes, or to advance his political
fortunes. The result is that although he is
now without political power or influence
his popularity is undiminished, and his
public remarks are received with profound
interest.
In his speech Mr. Cleveland laid special
stress upon the necessity fora political p arty
to be honest. In this connection he said; “But
in this day of partisan feeling and attach
ment it is well for us to unu*o and recall
the truth, that the only justification for the
existence of any party is the claim that in
principal ad performance its object and
purposes arc the promotion of the public
go *d, and tho advancement of t e welfa e
aud pr sp.nty of the e tirecountry. Taere
never was a party platform or declara
tion of principles which did not
profess these things a nd make
them tbe foundation of party creed; and
any bo iy of men who sho ild openly pro
claim that they were a sociatod togeth-sr
for the express )e of gaining su
premacy in the givenfment, with the sole
i.:te t of distributing tbe offi-js and the
spoils of victory among their associates,
would be treated with ridicule aid scorn.
Thus are we brought f ice to face with the
proposition that parties should, no more
tha l individuals, die untruthful aud dis
honest.”
Mr. Cleveland incurred the hostility of
many of the politicians of his party when
he was President because he woul 1 not
place the demands of the office seekers
above party principles. He acted upon the
idea that tbe Democratic party had been
put into power by the people iu order that
the government might be admmis’ered on
democratic principles, and not in order
that the offices might be enjoyed by de no
crats. In this respect his administration
prj.uDes to occupy a much higher place
in the estimation of the peop e than
that of President Harrison. The
latter is now rein ving postm is tors at the
rate of about a thousand a week, aud if it
were not for the civil se vice law, it is not
improbable that he would turn every demo
crat out of office. There is another tiling
tbit Mr. Cleveland did not and > that Presi
dent Harrison is charged with and nog. He
did not atte npt to influence tha press in
his favor. Gen. Harrison has no mi ated
for s mo of the most important offices iu his
gift editors of leading reDubiican news
papers.
Mr. Cleveland’s speech was a quiet and
thoughtful one, and was well calculated to
keep the peoole talking about him. He
may not be the democratic standard bea er
in 1892, but if he is, it will not bs by any
direct effort on his part. It is certain that
he ha a strong hold upon the people, aud
unless he does something to injure his
popularity his name will bo prominently
before the next national democratic con
vention.
Senator Brown’s Illness.
Our Atlaut - dis latches state that Senator
Brown is so seriously ill that it is not be
lieved that hi s recovery is p .ssdile. This is
sad news. It is to bs uo >ed, however, that
his condition is far from being as bad as it
is represented to ba. He woul 1 be greatly
missed ia the Senate, a id this state would
regard the loss of his services there as a
very serious one.
Senator Brown’s term in the Senate ends
March 4, 1891. It is intimated that even if
bis health should improve somew at he
would resign before the end of the suuime
session of tbe present legislature. Of
course this is mere speculation. It is quite
safe to say that as long as the senator feels
strong enougli to travel to Washington and
attend tohisduti *s there h i will not re
sign. He is one of that class of men who
placa duty above everything else, aud he
will not give up the trust which the people
have confide*! to him as loug as ho is able
to di charge the duties of it.
If, however, tho condition of his health
should make it nec-ssarv for him to resign
it is probable that he would be succeeded
by Gov. Gordon. The governor is about
the most popular man in the state, and tha
impression appears to bo that he would not
objoit to going back to the Senate. Of
course he would have oppjsition, but it
would hardly be sufficient to justifiy a
doubt of his success.
If Senator Brown should resign and Gov.
Gord n sh >uld be chosen to fill out his un
expired term, Mr. dußignon would become
the acting governor by reason of his posi
tion o; president of the senate. While a
lav. ruble termination f Senator Brown’s
illness is earnestly hope! for, news of his
condition will be eagerly awai ed, not only
on iicdfftiht of the' 'jiolitical changes do
j ende.it upon him, but chiefly because of
the profound interest felt iu him.
The New York Star directs attention to
the fact that; the wonderful industrial
growth of the Booth has beou attained since
the southern state governme its became
democratic. To this fact, by the wny, tho
republican organs never nllude. The Star
kavs; “The first manifestations of this
growth were almost con tern; loratieous with
tbe e dof the scandalous republican mis
rule iu the south. It bus b*en pursued ex
clusively under dsmocratic administrations
of tho various south ru states aud muni
cipalities. It has found its leaders in
democratic souther o s t etnselvei, and so
far us there is any real c mnectini bet*Yen
politi *s and business it has been democratic
from the s’art.” Th*e tilings are so well
known tuat not even a republican organ
will deny teem.
Home of the newspaper* are commenting
upon two significant facts in connection
with the reduction of wages at Mr. Andrew
Ctrnugle's steel workl nt Pittsburg, I'n.
One is that tile reduction was demanded by
Mr. ( arnegio, the ■ npubltcau and protec
tionist, wgo is ver y fmd of descanting
upon tue h*.*u>-flt to workingmen of a high
tariff. The other Is that the reducs'l ***n!o
of price* will re mat il in operation three
year*—that is unlit the rummer of 1892, in
1*92 uu* thur presidential election will tw
iieid, aud probably Mr. ( arm gle will allow
lilt vuio|uye to be paid a little in >ro during
too * umpo.gu, so ib it he can illustrate to
tUtia the UmuV.es of protection.
THE MORNING NEWS! WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1889.
A Suggestion to the Mayor.
The foilowing communication is from a
prominent citizen who takes a deep interest
in everythirg that tends to beautify and
tm* rove Savannah:
Editor Morning Sexes: Our worthy
mayor is ready not only to entertain but
to adopt proper suggestions tending to the
public good. I therefore ve iture to make
one through you. Our street and lane com
mittee bas just as much as it can do in at
tending to tho streets and lanes proper. It
has neither time n r opportunity to expend
upon the ornamentation of the parks and
pub.ic areas, mi l the practical duties of
leveling, paving and keeoiug in order the
tuorougufares of the city are very differ
ent from the more aesthetic office of beau
tifying our parks and squares. That the
latter are not at present maintained iu
cleanly and becoming condition is best at
tested by their appearance. The square in
which the noble Jasper mo iumeut is lo
cated has attained the acme of municipal
neglect and uutidi ess.
My suggestion is tha: anew committee,say
of three, to bo known as the committee on
parks a id squares, be appointa 1, and if this
be impracticable, that a sub-committee,
from t e commit ee on streets ad lanes, be
designa ed for tHis purpose. Such com
mitte ■ should be especially* charged with
the ornamentation of our parks, squares
and public areas, aid of all spaces n t
owued bv private parties, and not iu actual
use for pub. c passage. The couditiou of
the ground, the grass plats and the
trees sh mid be submitted to th) intelli
gent scrutiny a id care of such a com
mittee. Decaying and unsightly trees
should be replaced, and tue arboriculture
of the city should be conducted upon scien
tific principles. We have many beautiful
flowering trees which would greatly orna
ment our areas, among them the mimosa,
tha lagustraiua, the fri ige tree, some species
of hollyhock*, the olea ider, and many
others; and the adaptability of new vari*-
ties of trees to our climate aud soil should
be tested and utilized. It is very apparent
that the plan'ing of the water oak,
tho pr dominant tae in our city,
should he checked. Its rapid growth has
caused its popularity, but it is Dally a
swamp tree, needing a damp soil, an t the
under drainage of our city has withdrawn
its proper nourishment. It is, besides, an
uncleanly tree, shedding its leaves at all
seasons. It is peculiarly the prey of the
mistletoe, and at 30 or 40 it becomes hollow
hearted and presents a mela choly spectacle
of pre nature senility. Who ca i prop
erly apply the remedy except an
iutellige it c unmittee e-pecially charge 1
with the work? Such, committee could co
operate with an in elligent and earnest com
mittee from the Savannah Floral and Art
Association, and the certain result would
be a marked progress in tue aesthetic de
rd'inw it and beauty of Savannah. What
the intelligent eo-ooerarion of the public
can do for municipal welfare is now ; eing
art“sted by tbe volu itary efforts of the
Public H-*alth Association and the persist
e c, ot its zea.o >s inspector, Mr. Drs
vergei-s. Surely it is not necessary to arg le
the value, to a city an 1 its peop.e, of public
clea liness and adornment. These must
ai ways be close allies of municipal advance
ment. From an educational point of view
alone they p ssoss the highest s g nflca ice.
Our city has attracted far gr ater atten
tion from its fine trees and foliage than
from the chor-eter of its huil ti igs. It is
kn iwn t)ou siders a; the-‘Forest Citv.”
Assuredly it c ncerns every inhabita it
that, neither thr ugh ignorance nor n -gleet,
shall it become iisfo ested. Citizen*.
The suggestion contained in the foregoing
communication is a good one and ought to
be carefully considered by the mayor. Our
peopl * a e just beginning to appreciate the
possibilities whica Savannah posiessesof
becoming one of the most beautiful cities of
the country, if not, in some respects, the
most beautiful. The improvements which
have (seen made within the last two or
three years have awakened in them a de
sire for other improvements of an or.ia
mental charac er, a id if the council will
only taka the lead they will gladly lead a
helping ha id,
More trees ought to be planted and the
planting of them ought to be under the
direction of those who k ;o w what trees
thrive best in the soil and climate of this
locality, and which are most desirable for
beauty and sba le. Tnere are a great many
trees whica Bkould be removed at once,
because they are rapidly dyiug, and their
places ought to be supplied with lathers.
Indeed, tree planting in the city ought to be
made a constant study, and the youug trees
should be carefully looked after. Ia times
of drought they s louid be watered, and
they should be protected, as far ai possible,
from di-ease and from animals which still
have the freedom of tbe streets.
Some of the public squares are in an un
sightly condition. With a little effort they
could be made as greeu and pretty as John
son square. How beautifully green the
yard in front of the Chatham academy is!
The success whie'u lias attended the efforts
to beautify that place shows what can be
done in the public squares. The time ought
not to be distant wtien the neutral ground
on Sout t Broad street will be a baauti
ful sward from one end of it to the
other. It should be usod no longer by tho
soldiery, and when its improvement is be
gun the people should not be permitted to
disfigure it with paths.
There is no reason why the work of
beautifying Savannah should not keen pace
with her mate ial prosperity. Sivannah is
already a be lutiful city, but site can be
made far more beautiful. Let us make her
the pride of the south.
The fact that Kyrte Bellew wa3 hissed by
a Chicago audience the other night, when
he appeared in a play with Mrs. Potter, has
caused the quo.lioti to be asked, “Have
audiences the right to hiss actors?” That
would seem to depend a g md deal upon the
character of the audience. If it is cotn
p *s *d of goose, for iu*tauce, it ortainly has
the right, for Webstar says 111 it a hiss is
“the note of a goose whei irritated.” It
appears, however, that Mr. Bellew was
hisse 1 beeius he had b*c me mixod up in
a divorce case. Tho ld ia of a Chicago au
dience hissing anybody on that accou it is
highly amusing.

CURRENT COMMENT.
His Severest Critics.
From, the yew York Times Uad.)
We have seen no comment on Mr. Harrison
from his politi al onpo-ieu:s so severe a-, that
some of his political friends indulge in, appa
rently not knowing that it is severe.
The American Army.
From the Boston Globe ( Dem.)
It is said that President Harrison contem
plates granting a pardon to 40,d*' deserters
Ire n tho American army. Eurottipn stitesmen
can no longer laugu at Uncle Sains small mili
tary estabhskm -nt. An army that can furnish
40,0J0 able-bodied deserters is not to be sneezed
at.
Dojes He Believe _tn States Rights?
Fron^\he ‘ProvidiiiC* Yelegram l Dem.)
Minister Reid told the President of the French
republic what “the United B ates have” b en
doing. The republican conventions used to re
solve that “the United States is a Nail -n.” Is
Mr. Reid heterodox on the big N and disposed
to recognize a certain amount of sovereignty in
the states?
A Democratic Legislature Needed.
From the New York World*Dem.)
The republicans are very much disturbed at
the evident purpose of tbe democratic leaders
in this state to secure a majority of the legisla
ture in the comin, elect! *n. Their organs call
it a “plot.” This is truly refreshing—or would
b) during a torrid wave, Wny should not a
democratic state have a demo vatic legislature?
For seven years in sucr-s iou the democrats
have elected their state ticket, and nothing but
the perpetuation of a repub iean gerrymander,
whereby IdO.OXI democratic voters are denied
representation in tile le ?i.i iture, has prevented
tbe full control of the sta.o government to
which the majority is entit.el. Tha perform
ances of the last two ms aliy egis atures are
enough to inspire the pe de with a desire for a
change.

Give tho Bp.by Plenty of Water.
From the Medical elastics.
It is a mistake to suppose that because milk
is a liquid food it is at the same time drink
which is capable of satisfying the thirst of iu
fants. Although milk appe ses hunger, it
makes thirst more intense after it has remained
some time in the stomach and digestion has be
gun. It is thirst which causes healthy, breast
nourishing infants to cry for long periods of
time in many instances. There are many cases
of indigestion due to weakness or insufficiency
of the child's gastric juice, which would tie
greatly benefited or even cured if the child were
allowed an occasional drink of water.

One of the funniest rec:nt stoiies of James

yacht lay near at hand, and. after the quarrel,
tie went on board and spent tue night steaming
up and down in front of the castle with the
foghorn blowing every other miuute. The ilis

his id friend, and Mr. Bennett returned to
Monaco.

A railroad man, occupying a responsible posi

when a collision happened and his car was
knocked into smithere ns. He was picked up
as one dead, and was stretched out iu some
convenient place to await the arrival of the
doctors to officially pronounce upon his condi
tion. By and by a physician bustiad up, looked
at his prostrate, motionless form and pailid
face, and said:
"That poor fellow's a goner, I guess."
Then he kneeled down, lifted up an eyelid,
and saw a dull, expressionless orb.
"Yes, he's dead fast enough: take him away 1”
exclaimed the doctor.
Tue supposed corpse suddenly began to move

Mr. Depew Shouldn’t Have Done It.
From the Few York Sun.
Speaking of the published story that he paid
a lawyer $7,000 as a salve for a nervous shock
that the lawyer ha t received, Chauncey M. De
pew said the other day:
“It was a curious case. I received a letter
from the lawyer, saying that he had been com
pletely upset by a shock he received on one of
our trains, owing to a sudden stoppage. He
enclosed in his letter the certificates of four
reputable physicians bearing out his statement.
A friend of mi e who was a neighbor of the
lawyer, came to me and told me it would be a
great injustice if I didn't settle the claim. ’The
man h completely gone,’ he said, ’stays away
from his office, can't do any work, "wanders
aro in i the bouse scaring hi., wife into fits, and
is unfit for anything.’
"a went down and saw him. ‘Where were
you before you took this trip?’ I ask< and him.
■Rusticating at my country seat,’ he replied.
‘Have any shock or undue excitement, there?’
•No; everything was supremely quiet.’ Then
he told me that he had brought down a basket
of eggs on the rain. ’Well, how about those
eggs,’ I asked, 'were they broken?’ -Oh, no,’
he said, ‘they remained ou the seat beside me,
an i not one was cracked.’ And yet you got a
nervous shock? ‘Y'es.’
"Well, 1 sent him tho company’s check for
$7,000. as the doctors and he were sure he could
never get around to basi mss again. Y,u and he
surprised, though, to see how that check acted.
It was evidently just the me iioine ho stood in
need of, for he’s all right now, and practicing
law the same as ever.
Made a Critter ot Himself.
From the Detroit Free Press.
It was a state election in Alabama, and
among the crowd Oiling the little town where I
happened to be stopping were some queer char
acters Among the queerest were an old man
and his son—the father about 60 years old. the
son about to east his first vote. The boy had
primed up pretty well, and by 10 o'clock in the
forenoon be was saying:
“Father, git ten men to hold me, for if I turn
loose this town won’t be nowharl"
“Be calm, Jonas, be calm," advised the old
man as he patted uim on the shoulder.
“Whoopi yil yi! Whar’s the critter as says
he will c allonge my fust vote?"
"T ;ar's no critter sayin’ anything of the sort,
.Tones. .list b? quiet. Do Ft be raisin' your
voice too much.”
Jonas circulated around for awhile, took
another drink, and then came back to the
tavern steps and said:
‘•rattier, I’ve got to turn loose."
"Shoe: Jonas:"
“But I hey. I'm a-goin’to cut loose and go

With regard to the accident which occurred
to the war vessels at Apia, says the BritUh
Journal of Photofj aphjj, it mi ht be advisable
to refer once more to the theory of Dr. Zenger
of Prague, who suggested to make use ot pho
tography for the prediction of the weather.
According to the doctor, photographs of the
sun t ikeuon . .rthochromatic platen offer a most
infallible means to indicate with almost abso
lute certainty the approaching at mosph-ric and
subterranean disturbances at least twenty-four
hours b'fore their setting in In these photo
graphs zones are often to be seen around the
sun s disk i. e.. rings of circular or elliptical
form. Of white or grayish color—and If these
rtwtl‘ t* of very large diameter, and of
lliu* tup a iiti!t -s% this indicates that violent
stfcruis. t h ai%<- or uiagneiical disturb,
anoes, will soo i s-*t ii a. the place of observa
tion. At every -hip's stnti >u should therefore
be established a small photograph c latioratory,
in win li photographs of the stm comd be taken
as often as posWble. A much more reliable
prciii tiou of trie weal her would be a:Tordvd by
this means than by the aid of the barometer
now generally in u e for this purpose, and
precautions could therefore bn taken in good
time.
