Cardinal Gibbons’ book “Our Christian
Heritage” will appear next October. Parts
of it have been submitted to an Vssociated
Press reporter. It does not de il with con
troversies agitated since the Reformation,
nor aim to vindic te the claims of the
Catholic church as superi >r to those cf the
separate branches of ch i tia ity It has
nothing to say against any Christian de
nomination that rtill retains faith in at
least the divi .e mission cf Jesus Christ.
, The cardinal concludes the introduction
with the following: “How rapidly ha e the
sectional bate and fierce animosities en
gendered by our iate civil war been allayed.
In both houses of congress and several of
our state legislatures are foun 1 to-day rep

Bavannah’s Fire Serv es.
In the New York Commercial Bulletin
of July 18 there is an article entitled
“Savannah’s Pe it” It bears pret’y strong
marks f having been written in this city.
If it was not it is quit# safe to ssy that the
informa ion upon w.dch it is based was
fur i* ed by some one living here. While
the article contains much that Is probably
true it is calculated to give a tmsleahng
impression.
T. e charge is made that there arc defec’s
in the city’* water supp’y and that the fire
depar.meut is iticffi nut. Asa mtter of
fact, the e is an ample supply of water in
all parts of the cty to wh ch the
water system extends. Th® chisf fireman
has stated repeatedly within the las, few
weeks that he has never fai ed to get an
abundant supple of water at every fire
which has occurred since he has been in
charge of the fire depar ment. It is true
that there is not pressure enough to pe; mit
o> an effective use of hose attar ed directly
to the fire plugs when the engiues are
pumping from the mains, but depo de ce
is not placed upou the pressure in t e mains
to throw wa'er upon burning buddings, but
upon the engines. In New York there i
nupressur- worth mentioning in the mai s.
The Bulletin article says that there are
virtually ouly thiee engines to prot c the
whole of :he city. 1 hat stateme .t is incor
rect. There are five engines, fo rof which
arefi st-c'asV and the fifth i> capable ot
doing ex t llent service. Ihe city council
is criticised in he B.illelin's article for
seve al tilings, one of wuich is that its fi e
committee t.as fadel to provide the fire
engines wi:b hea ers, altnough ordered to
do so several mouths eg . It is impossible
t say why there has boon suen a re nark
able delay in purchasing the heaters. The
tire committee, or the council perhaps, can
explal i the delay. The heaters nave be u
ordered, however, and will be i.i use prob
ably wit in three weeks. Another fire
engine has been ordered also, and the con
rm-t for it requires that it shall bsrady
for delivery between the Ist and 15th of next
mouth.
There is no doubt that there have been a
great many fires in this city this year, but
with the excep ion of the great fire of Apri.
li none of them have been very disastrous.
1 deed, with toe exception of that fire it is
doubtful if the loss from fires for the first
six months of this year was greater than
the loss for the first six months of last year,
or than the avorage loss for the fi st six
mouti sif a y year for a number of years.
The great fire of April 6 could not have
been stopped, probably, sooner than it was,
even if the fire serv.ee had been twi e as
zrea as it was, and the water supply as
abundant as could have been furnish and by
a rive . The wind blew a gale, and the fire
was carried fro.n one bui.ding to anotner
with remarkable rapidity. The wonder is
not that tue fii e was so great, but that it
was not greater. Tho number of fires
that have occurred since tho great
fire does not show a defec ive water
supply, or au inefficient fire depart neut.
The frequency of fires has no connection
with the water supply or the fire dep rt
me it. The qu stio i is, was tin re a 1 ck of
eater or inefficie .t fir® service at any of the
fires? Who is the ewho is prepared to say
there was either? Was not the Miller fi e
confined to the buildings in which it origi
nated, notwithstanding they were filled
witn inflammable mttrial*? Was not the
Gerinai e fire well handled? Rim over the
list of all the ether fir s critically and can
didly and will it not be admitted hat the
ti e service and wa or supply were satis
factory at. all of them? Are fires of the
same charac er handled to better advant
age in other cities?
When a largo number of fires has oc
curred in a city in a abort period of time,
and a good deal of property has been de
stroyed, there arc naturally many expres
sions of hasty judgment. There is a dis
position o blame somebody or to find fault
with something. There may be excellent
reasons for condemning somebody or some
thing in connection with tne recent fires i..
thisci.y, but nobody knows who.her there
are or not. Ii view of the many complaints
that are made, would it not bo advisable
for the city council to make au investiga
tion of some of the thit.g* com
plained of? If there is anything
rong it is necessary to find out
what it is before a rotnedy can be applie 1.
It is folly to work blindly. If there is
nothing ths matter with the watrr mi pply
or th® fire service, let it be so stated. If
there is, lot the remedy be applied.
There seems to be :io doubt that some of
tho recent fires ware of incendiary origin.
The ciiief fireman mentions several tha.
ought to have been carefully but vigor no and
investigated. Wore thev so investigated?
Tuere is another t ing to which the Morn
ing News ca led attention some time ago,
but concerning which notiling lias yet been
dooe, and that is the condition of the
cellars and lofts of some of the business
houses. Ai e n >t seme of these places sources
of grett danger? Tnoy ought to bn in
spected every week a id those responsible
for them compelled to keep them free from
rubbish.
By the middle of next month the fire
service will be greatly improved. With a
new engine and heaters Savannah’s fire
servioe ought to be as efficieu. as that of
any other city of her size in the country.
Carnagio and tho Tariff.
The greit strike in the iron mills in Penn
sylvania, in which Mr. Car.i eg.a is the prin
cipal owner, has been settled. T e work
men were 'orcei. however, to accept a
reduction of wages.
Il u not very Img since Mr. Carnegie
nas telling the workmen of the country
that the election of G n. Harrison aud the
continuance • f the high protective ta iff
pol.cy of the Republic m party m >ant better
wages for work nen, au 1 more prosperous
times for all daises of pe iple. Doub less
a great many of Mr. Carnegie’s workmen
believed what lie told the n, and voted in
accordance with his advice. They are
wondering now, p onably, whether they
wei e not duped by him. He got their votes
for his ca ididate aud his po.ioy, out he is
not paying as good wages now as he was
then.
Mr. Carnegie ought to explain why it is
that with a high protective tariff, of the
bent-fl s of whico he so frequently boasts,
he reduces wages. His workmen eertainly
have reason to doubt the wisdom of the
tariff advocated by the Republican party.
Wages were pretty fair while the Dem t
crattc party wa, m power and was trying to
reduce the tariff. As soon as the Republi
can party came into power on a platform
favoring a continuation of the high pro
tect, Vb tariff policy, emplo nrs in nearly all
parts of the country began to reduce wages.
What have t,e protectionists to say in
answer to this condition of affairs?
THE MORNING NEWSI SUNDAY, JULY 21, 1889.
Why a Board of Arbitration?
The question whether the state shall pay
the lessees of the Western and Atlantic rail
road anything for betterments is the one
before the legislature that is attracting t e
most attention. The 1-sseee want it settled
by a board of arbi ration composed of five
members. Ti ey propose that two of the
members shall be cb'oen by th state, two
by the lessees and that the four msmbsrs
thus ch sen shall choose the fifth member.
But why should the legislature shift the
responsibility which devolve* upon it to a
board if arbitration? There are no facts
in dispute and thre is, therefore, nothing
virtually to arbitra e. A Com nlttee ap
p>i tel y the legislature has made a thor
ough examii.ati u of t e Western and At
lantic pr ipertv, an I ias rep rt:d th*t it is
worth |750, VJ 74 more than w en it came
i ito possession of the le. rocs. Of this amount
a little over $57 i.'jflO is represented by
mo-, able property, such as cars, en ines,
t ols, etc., and SSBJ,(; k by permanent im
provements, such at .oad bed, bridges,
depots, etc. It is gene •& 'v u derstood that
there is no issue re>p ig the movable
pr perty. The only q lesion is, whether the
lessees shall Le paid for the permanent im
provements.
The legislature has all the facts before i*.
It is in ju.t a< good a positi m to pass up>n
the question as a b ard f arbi ra io i c >uld
possibly be. If its authority we e delegated
to a board made up as the lessees suggest,
the decision of the question would depend
upon one man.
Is it possible to find in the state an in
tel igent man who does not favor one side
or the other of the question? If it isn’t
thent’e question wculi be virtually set
tled whe . the b >ard was appointed. If the
legislature we et> azree to arnitrate, the
real struggle wou and be over the selec ion of
the flf;u member of tue board, and not over
the question at l sue.
Arbitration is an admirable way to settle
questions which are surrounded by d.fa
culties, and in which there are doubts re
rnectng the law and the facts. In this
bsttHrme t matter there is no dispute abo l.
the fac s, and it is pretty sife to say there
is no doubt about the law. The simple
question is, shall the state psy the lessees
SBBO,OOO for permanent improvements?
Surely the legislature is as capable of saying
whether it shall or not, as a board of arbi
tration.
If the legislature should agree to arbitrate
it would by that act admit that tue lejsoss
were entitled to compe sation for per na
nent impiovetue its, and if such an admis
sion were made it .ould follow that the
lessees w-ere entitled to the full value of
such improveme its. The state wo ild have
no grou id for refusing t > pay the full turn
of SBBO,OOO. It would uave no reason for
as-ing even for a conj romise.
The pe iple would not approve arbitra
tion. They expect the legislature to settle
the bettarmen, ques.ion. They think, and
rightly too, that the two houses of the
general assembly a o better able to sot.le
it than the umpire of a board of arbitra
tion.
The Panama Canal Heard From.
There was a report m Wall street a day
or two ago that work on the Pauatna ca al,
under the direction of American engineers,
would be resumed soon. Anew company
is being organized in France, and negotia
tions have been goi g on for some time be
tween tho promoters of this company and
the American Contracting and Dredging
Company. The president of the dredging
company has gone to Paris to coutinuo
negotiations. It is estimated that it will
cost $200,u0(),000 to finish the canal.
It will be difficult to raise any more
money for the ca al. The sum abeafiy
wasted upon it is enormous, and engineers
have said t. at the work is only begun. It
is hoped, howevor, that if the work of com
pleting the cmal is placed wholly in the
hands of Americans, co .tidence in the en
terprise will be revived to such an extent
that ca al bonds cen be floated readily,
both in this country aud Europe.
It is ass rted that there are seventeen
mil s of the canal on the Atlantic coast and
five miles on the PBcifio coast fi fished.
Above twenty-five miles are yet to be cut,
but in thoso twenty-five miles is tha most
and flic tilt pa tof the work. Th® president
of the American Cont acting and Dredg
ing Company t .lks ab ,ut finishing the
canal in four year*. Tuere has been a
groat deal of that sort of talk within the
last few years.
Mr. Peter Campbell, of New York, proba
bly is co.isideiably dejected over the result
of the trial of his air ship the other day,
adthotigh ho professes to feel cheerful
euougu. By that experiment the air ship
was shown to U' a failure, and the aeronaut
who risked his life ia it is thought to have
been drowned in th® sea. Mr. Campbell
stoutly asserts, however, that only an ordi
na y accideut prevented tho air snip from
making a sueees-ful trip, and he does not
think that the aeronaut, H >ga t, is dead.
Hogan, he says, was an expert balloonist
and swimmer, and he took with him a life
preserver. According to Carnub 11, lie
probably jumped out of the air snip before
it touc ed water, aud was picked up by
some vessel. By the way, a company has
just been formed in Boston tn assist Dr.
Baussett to con truct an air hip that will
carry 200 passengers a ,and 50 t ms of mail or
other matter. Dr. Baussett claims that his
plant are a proved by the most eminent
scientists aud engineering ex ierta in the
country. He succ reded last fall in getting
a good many congressmen enlisted in favor
of the air ship.
Several sensational cases have been
brought before the courts at Ne.vburj, N.
Y., lately, but none more Sensatio al than
that of Mary L. Mowatt against a number
of her re atives, to recover property valued
at $300,000. It appears that th® young lady
was the fav .rite of her brother, James C.
Mowatt, with whom she lived, and that
when Mr. Mowatt died he left all of his
property to her. Before the will was ad
mitted to probate, two of the young lady’s
relatives, by threa ening to contest the wdl,
a id to bring cuargesagas ist her of u nnatur
al relations with hnr brothe induced her to
agree to divide tne prop rty equally among
more than half ad izm of her kinspeople.
She lived up to her agreement, but tue
other day. while talking to some of her
friends, she mentioned the matter, and th -j
explained to her tho fraud that had been
perpdra ed upon her. The case is creating
a big stir.

Grow bright with wordl rss welcome.

For wnat some mothers miss.

Circumstantial mvulouce.
Sergt. Warren Fox in St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
Speaking of circumstantial evidence recalls
to my mind an incident that came under my
observation while I was in charge of the Cnest
nut street police station. An English n .bleman
who was in this country on a lark visited a
house kept bv a well-known sporting woman.
aDd spent a few hours in > e resort drinking.
After he had walked up t ie street a few bloc its
from the house he missed his roll of money,
and net being able to find it, c included he had
been robbea. He went hies to tne house im i.e
diately and accused the women of tne theft.
Sue de led it, and on his complaint a polloe
officer arrested her. When they came into the
station he told ne the story as above. Theo I
beard her story, and was impressed with tho be
lief that she was innocent. Hetold me that tne
amount was s3so —two SSO bills and the balance
ill tens—and also described the
peculiar way he had rolled it.
He was so confident that she had rubbed him
that I concluded to hold her. I incidentally re
marked, as she was going back to toe cell:
"Have you any money about you?” "I have,”
she replied, and placed a roll of bills on the
ledge I examined it any found $ 150-two SSO
bills and the balance in tens—identically the
same amount a id the same denominations as
he had lost. He swore positiv ly tua- it was his
money, and wanted t < take it, nut I refused to
give it up. Te woman was locked up and tfu
nobleman went away, after the usual i; ruc
tion to bo at the Four courts in the m -r,,in ; and
swear out a warraut. I could not believ’. but
that she was innocent. About two hours after
she was locked up the nobleman returned out
of br ath, and stated that be hud found’ his
money. He had put it in the inside pocket of

How Yilce Got Even.
From Texas Siftings.
In the “Brushy Bend” bottoms of Skunk
river, lowa, a few miles from the village of
Tali-yrand, there lives a set of uncouth, un
slio n and unwashed natives, whose equa s for
I.norance, meanness and "general cussedness”
it would be hard to find.
One m .rning Ike Yike, a “Brushy Bender ”
rode a skinny old mule into Tal eyraod ad
stopped at the office of the justice of the pe ce
"Mornin’, ’Squair,” ho said, “I want to git a
lawsuit."
“Wnat about?” asked t.he justice.
“Wal, you know that sheep-stealin' Zeke Ash
don't ye?”
“Yes. You and Zeke had a fight?”
“WtLSser'n that,” said Yike, “a thunderin’
sieht wusser n that. That Zeke Ash is too mean
to sloop goo I.*'
"Well, what has Zeke done?" asked the his
tlce.
“Done* You'd better ask what he hain't done
He's up an' left nis own family an' ran off with
my wife, that's what ne's done, and I want him
yanled up for it.”
•Well,’' said tue justice, "this is serious. Do
you .now where they have gone?”
"Tuey nave oue down tne river nine miles
clean to Coppick F .rd, and they-re a livin’ in
one of Id C qipickres cabins."
Tue justice lea ned all he could about the
matter, issued a warrant for the arre: of both
the man and woman, sent toe const* le after
them and instructed Yike to a .pear the next
day as prosocuiing witne s. Yixe then went to
the saloon and related his bereavement to a
crowd of loafers and told them he had had a
warrant issued for Ash’s arrest,
“On, pshaw,” said one of the loafers; “I
wouldn't an est him; I’d show my spurn, and
get even with him in some other wav."
Yike hung his head for a minute and then
slapped nis k.iee and said: "I'm blasted if I
ha m thought of a bilm’ good plan Jist you
fellers ' alt till to-morrow an'see wuo * smart
est, Zeke Ash or me," and he rode away.
Thu next day when Ze e Ash and Yike's wife
were arraigned before the justice Yike was not
there to prosecute. Tics justice sent the con
staole out to see tf any of Yike's neighbors were
in town in order that he might learn why Yike
did not atipear. The oousta le found and
brought in old Jake Grissom, and when he was
askod if he had seen Yike he replied:
"Yes, sir; 1 seen Tin thi* mornin’ about sun
peep.”
“ >Vhere wa* he?” the justice asked.
“Him and Zeke Ash's wife wuz a-runnlng off
together."

THE LIVER.
Works with the Stomach and the Stomach
with the Liver. You must have good bile
to have perfect digestion, and free liver ac
tion to have pure blood. Therefore beware
of a congested Liver, which is nothing more
than a thickened and clogged Liver. The
great reducer of congestion is Schenck's
Mandrake Pills.
BILIOUSNESS.
An early and ugly form of liver trouble. It
is blood poison. The Liver is not taking the
bile ingredients from the blood. Treat it
with Schenck's Mandrake Pills and make it
do so.
BREAKING DOWN

long and feel that your lungs are involved
in any way, send for Dr. Schenck’s new book
