The Morning News Aiinii*l Trade Review—
A Few Pointer* in Relation Thereto.
The Morning News’ Annual Trade Re
view, containing a complete and cornpre-
tensive statement of the business of Savan
nah, will be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. 1, 1889, will be a
memorable one ii the history of Savannah,
end the Morning News proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The Morning News in its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities in the union,
and that her citizens, judging from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great less of her future.
They have proven by the various local im
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested iu
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confidence
In her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The Morning News will, in its Trade
Review, present to the world “Savannah ol
to-day,” in a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
■will be in such shape that, at a
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year.
The Trade Review will contain articles
•howiug the business of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts whiob
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
It will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do business
either in summer or winter. It will
prove by figures that Savannah is
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
•how that they are satisfied that she is
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be a newspaper which
those who feel a pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
It will afford business men au opportun
ity of saying something about their business
and themselves. It is hoped that in site, as
well as in other respects, it will sur ass
every previous edition. That, however,
depends entirely upon the orders it re
ceives from advertisers.
It is desired to distribute 50,000 copies,
and that number will be distributed, if the
response of the businoss men is as prompt
and liberal as we have reason to believe it
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies of
the paper can be handed in at the business
office, or, if desired, they will be called for
by the canvassers.
The City of Paris has reduced by 40 min
utes her former record from New \ork to
Queenstown. She has made the passage in
five days, 33 hours and 40 minutes. This is
the first time the eastern passage has been
made inside of six days.
Mrs. Ma brick’s mother has just made a
very ingenious statement intended to help
Mrs. Maybriek in her effort to escape the
gallows. The Baroness von Roque is evi
dently a shre vd woman, hut it will require
a great deal of shrewdness to save Mrs.
Maybrick's life.
The Rankin Ams-idment
The defeat of the Rankin am ndment in
the House by a two-luirds niaj >ritv snows
i quite clearly that the legislaure does not
! inter dto agree to arbitrate theciaim which
the le-sees make for betterments. The
amerdme t was supported by some of the
nble-t members of the House, arid all was
said in supp >rt of it tbat the attorneys of
the lessees could have said. The decisive
vote against it leaves no room to hope for
any legislate i of the kind proposed iu it.
It is probable that the Senate will tike
the course adopted by the House, th >ugh
doubtless an effort will be made ia tbat
body to accomplish what was sought to be
accomplished in he House, with the hope
that the two houses w ill disagree and that
the question at issue will tie referred to a
conference committee. The ciurse taken
by the House, however, ia so fully in har
mony with public sentiment that it is
hardly within the Igiund.s of probability
that the Senate will take a different course.
Those who are opposing arbitration or
the payment of any extraordinary claim
for betterments have no fear that the S tat i
road will be permitted to run down during
the remainder of the lease. They feel as
sured that Senator brown, who is ojiera
ting it, would not c msent to anything
.U..A Ii rr
of that kind. He does not want
any accidents to occur under his manage
ment, and it is safe to say that he doss
not intend that any shall if he can prevent
them. While he would like to see the lessees
paid for betterment, it is not reasonable to
suppose that he is going to run any riksfor
their benefit. The courts are open to them,
and it is probable that be would advise
them to go there if they were to suggest
taat he should let the road run down and
tbat the money saved in that way should bo
paid over to them.
The pwple have taken a deep interest in
those proceedings of the House which re
late to the betterment claim. They do not
want what does not belong to them, and if
they thought the claim a just one, they
would not hesitate to say so through their
representatives. They have always re
garded the permanent improvements of the
state road as belonging to them,
however, and they do not yet see
any reason to change this opinion.
The claim for betterments was not sug
gested duriug the iirst years of the lease, for
the reason, doubtless, that no suuh claim
was contemplated. Jt vs as only when a
i.evv lease began to be talked of tbat the
I eoplo became aware that there was going
to r e a claim for betterments.
There is no reason to doubt that the ac
tion .and the House will be generally approved.
The les ees have never yet stated exactly
what they claim. When they do the logi,-
lature may give them a hearing.
McKinney for Gove. nor.
The democrats of Virginia have nomi
nated Philip W. McKi tney, of Farmville,
for governor, lie is a lawyer and 65 years
of age. Ho is one of the ablest 'men
of the state, and is popular with all daises
of the people. He was a gallant confeder
ate soldier and has been Oof re the people
of the state several times as a candidate for
office. In 18S5 he was a candidate for the
nomination of governor, but was beaten by
<iov. Fitz'nugh Leo. At that time he was
strongly supported by Mr. Barbour, who is
the recognized leader of the Virgiuia demo
crats.
The compaig i in Virginia is going to be a
very lively one. Mahoue intends to make
a i extraordinary effort to carry the state.
Ibe administration is backing him, and it
is believed that he will bo supplied with all
the money he wants. A few weeks ago the
nati aal republican committee indicated its
purpose to as-ist Mahoue. About the only
valuable assistance it can give him is to
supply him with money, and that, doubt
less, is what it proposes to do.
The democrats are pretty well organized,
and it is probable that it will not be diffi
cult to get out a full democratic vote. If a
full vote Is polled the democrats, it is safe
to predict, will retain control of the state.
The republicans are n>t harmo tious. The
republican enemies of Mahone will not
exert themselves to place him in power
again. Under the circumstances the demo
crats have a fair prospect of winning a
splendid victo v.
The Philadelphia Press says: “If Gov.
Seay of Alabama iucc eds in jailing the
two chivalric Georgians who invaded his
state the other day and violated the law by
firing a lot of bullets at each other accord
ing to the code, ho will be a bigger man
than Gov. Lowry of Mississippi, who wants
to put Sullivan behind tho bars for prize
fighting. It is by no means certain, how
ever, that Gov. Seay will be successful. Ho
will find it difficult to enforce nineteenth
century principles of civilization in a state
which is still dominated by fifteenth century
ideas.” A newspaiier published iu a state
which, only a few months ago, was de
moralized by \V bite Caps, barn burners and
highway robbers, and which is noted for
frequent murders, should not talk so.
Mr. Francis Fontaine, who used to look
after immigration ma ters lor Georgia, was
in Philadelphia the other day. Mr. Fon
taine is always ready to say a goodwordfor
Georgia a ul th > south, and upon this occa
sion he said several. One of the Philadel
phia newspap rs reports tim as saying:
“The indust ial development of the south,
•specially of Georgia, has been remarkable'
m recent years, aud has acquired a spirit
that must carry it ou indefinitely. Large
capital is constantly coming into the state,
much of it from the north, and finds a
ready and profitable use. Millionaires are
springing up everywhere iu the south,
and many of the southern cities are des
tined t© rival those of the north in wealth.”
The New York Sun thiuks it probable
that the young Emperor of China will visit
this country in 1593, during tho proposed
exposition. It says he has for some time
been anxious to come to America. The
Washington Post doesn’t think he will come.
It declares that the relations existing be
tween China aud the United Stales, on ac
count of the enactment of the Chinese ex
clusion law, would prevent him from and .ing
so, and it adds: "If ho were going to Eu
rope by the way of America he would nat
urally p efer to sail ail the way around
Cajie Horn sooner than run the gauntlet of
the customs officers at San Francisco and
lay himself liable to be sent back undor the
exclusion act.”
“The true statement of the Atlanta Dost
office trouble" is what some of tho republican
organs call Assistant Postmaster General
Clarkson’s assertions concerning that mat
ter. Atlanta people, who are in p >sition t >
know, say that Mr. Clarkson’s statements
are generally incorrect. Mr. Clarkson is
such a rank partisan t .at he would hardly
allow the truth to stand in the way of his
making a point against democrats.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. AUGUST 16, 1889.
Mr. Flack’s Case.
Mr. Flack, the civil sheriff of New York,
is convinc and, doubtless, that he made a great
mistake when, by deceit, he induced the
j court to grant him a divorce. The decree
has been set aside, and ho is again a husband
against his will, with a fair pros’iect of
10-ing his office, which is worth fbJU.UOO a
year. The agrnts who ass.sted him iu get
ting the ju igment are in disgrace, and one
iff them, the referee, has lost his p isition.
i Ihe others sta and a very good chance of
losing theirs. The judge who rendered the
judgment, and the lawyer who was on
record as the attorney of the wife, appear
to have act* l l ho estly, but they were so
negligent in the discharge of their duties
that it is a question whether the attorney
ought not to be disbarred and the judge
asked to resign.
Mr. F,ack na> b*an force 1 to resign from
the Tamany N ciety, and it is not improb
able that others who were connected, one
way arid anothe", with the divorc rir- ceed
iugs, will be forced out of that organiza
tion.
The attempt of Mr. Fiack to get rid of
his wife iu an irregular manner has already
c st biru a pretty big sura, and it will cost
him a great deal m re before the matter is
fi ally settled. When the court was con
vinced that a fraud hid been committed it
very promptly annulled the judgment.
There are some facts in the case which have
not yet been made public, bit enough is
known to justify the statement that Mr.
Flack and his frie ids were guilty of one of
the most glaring frauds ever perpretrateii
on a court.
Hid Mr. Flack gone to New Jersey or
any other state and marriod as soon as the
divorce was granted, there would have
been a very muddled state of affai s. He was
in a position to contract a legal marriage.
His lawyer says that the annul nent of the
decree of divorce is not valid. Perhaps tbe
higher courts will bo asUed to decide
who* her or not it is.
There is another p int that the higher
courts will probabjy be asked to decide.
It is whether the refusal to permit Mr.
4lack to b heard in the proceedings for the
ft mulment of the decree of divorce was in
accordance with the law. The court held
when Mr. Flack asked to be heard that ho
had no right to appear in the case because
he had permitted a judgment for a divorce
to bo take i against him by default.
There are several interesting legal ques
tions to be settled, and a little more of the
secret history of the divorce to ho made
public before the case is finally disposed of.
Mortgaged Farms.
Maj. Charles H. Smith, of Bartow county,
Georgia, recently hud something to say
about farm mortgages, and a i Elmira, (N.
Y.) newspaper informed him that in
Chemung county, No w York, 638 of such
mortgages were recorded last year. They
covered more than that number of farms,
and aggregated $308,000. It is.hou :ht that’
tho unpaid farm mortgages in that county
represent as much as $1,000,000. The
Elmira newspaper said there were fourteen
other counties iu that state in as bad a con
dition, with regard to farm mortgages, as
Chemung.
_ Bartow county, Georgia, where Mr.
Smith lives aud farms, contains abou as
much farming laud as Chemung county,
New York, but it is stated that last year
only thirty-six farm mortgages, ca.liug for
$21,000, were recorded, and that the whole
number of these mortgages in the county
w mld not aggregate more than S'>J,OOO.
The Bart >w e <u ity farmers are to be con
gratulated that they are not burdened with
mortgages, and it is to be hoped that tho
‘lay is not distant w.ien they will be
altogether free from them. Indeed, the e
is no good reason why the farmers of any
countv iu Georgia shou and be troubled with
mortgages mauy years. Their lands are
ferti.e, aud are adapted to the cultivation
of nearly everything that is required for
home consumption. An exam: lation of
the books of the superior court clerks iu a
rnajoi ity of the conn ins, however,
would reveal a condition of affairs
that would be some what astonishing. Gair
gia farmers should nor be chnteut to be less
heavily burdened with m irtgagos than the
farmers of s imenorthom or western states
they snould bend every energy to rid thorn-'
selves of them. By persistent efforts they
could ultimately do so. It is hignly crel
itable t > the Farmers’ Affiance of th.s state
that, as an orgauiz ition, it is doing what it
can to discourage t ie giving of fa in mort
gages. It could not do the farmers a
greater service than by keepiug up its
efforts in this direction until substantial
results are accomplished.
Tim actiou of the Cincinnati authorities
in declaring that the theaters in that city
shall not be opened on Su days is a move
in the right direction. Asa general thing,
outsid -of business matters, Cincinnati’s ex
ample is not a very good one for other
cities to follow, but no harm would be done
if t.iey sh uld follow it i a this matter.
Aside from moral considerations, the thea
ters should be closed on Sundays because
the stage people work hard e ough during
the week to deserve a rest on Sunday.
Davy Crockett is not forgotten. The
great frontiersman and politician made a
reputation in two states—Tennessee and
’ex as that will outlast the marble that
marks the resting places of many of those
who played more conspicuous parts in the
world’s affairs. The 103d anniversary of
his birth will be celebrated at Limestone, on
the Nolachueky rtver,Tennessee, to-morrow.
Davy Crockett was put to death by order
of Santa Anna at Fort Alamo, Texas,
during the war for Texan independence.
The young man in Laredo, Tex., who was
arrested for Tascott, having been found to
be somebody else, the detectives have re
sumed the work of making arrests. They
now have a youag man in Jackson, Mich,
who looks very much like Tascott. Proba-’
bly no one liai thought to keep count of tue
people arrested on suspicion of being the
Chicago murderer, but it is thought that
tho Jackson young man is considerably
above the four hundredth.
The Rev. Leonard W. Bacon doesn’t seem
to like the way Corporal Tanner is ruuning
the pension bureau. In a recent number of
the Forum he refers to the pension businoss,
as now conducted, as being "as kuavish ii
plot for stealing other people’s money as
was ever concocted in a den of thieves.”
Dr. Bacon is not a southern democrat, by
any means. The republican organs should
bear this in mind.
Mr. Yillard has a big financial scheme on
haid. He proposes to mortgage the whole
of the Nortuern Pacific railroad property
for Silk),000, 000 for the purpose of retiring
ail tho indebtedliess of ihe Nj thorn Pacific
company. It is thought that the directors
ot the company will not approve the propo
sition.

The Way to Pass a Bill.
From the H’as/unfidon Poet.
One evening, a few years ago, the late Elijah
M. Haine. of Illinois was called upon to preside
at a meeting of lawyers assembled in Spring-
Held for the purpose of considering tbe b -st
means of pa-sing a bill th n pending in tbe
legislature Mr Haines, on taking the chair,
explained the purpose of tne meeting and sug
gested what he thought would be the best way
to insure the bill's passage. Interrupt ng him,
a gentleman in one of the rear seats arose and
said:
"By the way, Mr. Chairman, if I may make a

It s the old, simple story, from lashing her

There was always a something to throw us
together;
And never suspecting they could be but wiles
She nracticed adroitly, before laud was
Righted,
I had fallen a prey to her glances and smiles.
And tenderly, truly, our troth had been
plighted.
But the promise she gave me she promptly took

W hen she reached terra firuia and wrote me
from Dover:

One ot the most interesting of these is the ex-

of t e pretty young women stenographers of
