The Morning \fvi Annual Tr,dr Review A Fen Pointers ill Relation Thereto. The Morning News’ Annual Trade Re view, containing a complete and compre hensive statement of the business of Savan nah, will be issued early in September. The year ending Sept. 1, 1889, will be a memorable one i > the history of Savannah, and 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 ia 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, judgi: g from what they have done during the last year, are fully alive to the great .ess of her future. Thoy have proven by the various local im provements they have made, and by the active interest they have manifested in 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 oonfldo.ico 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 Mokning News will, in its Trade Review, present to the word “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 bo soeu what has been accomplished during the year. The Trade Review will contain articles showing the bu iness of the city during the year and present indisputable facts which 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 iu 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 show 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 me i an opportun ity of saying something about their business and themselves. It is hoped that in size, 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 b isiness men is as prompt and liberal as we have reason to behove it will bo. Orders for advertising or for copies of the paper can be banded in at the business office, or, if desired, they will bo called for by the canvassers. “Buffalo Bill” seems to be quite popular among the Paris women. It is said that since he took his wild west show to that city he has received not less than twenty seven offers of marriage. Of curse, he wouldn’t think of mir ying anybody of lower rank than a princess. The dispatches announced a few days ago that there was a strong probability that the South Fork dam w ould be rebuilt. A special to the Philadelphia Times, ho 'ever, states that there is no likelihood of such a thi g being done. One member of the fish ing club authorize 1 the statement that, no matter what di-p.isitiou was n ado of the property owned by the c;ub at South Fork, the dam wouid never be rebuilt. The Farmers' Alliance. The Farmers’ Alliance in this state is a very stro- g organization, a* and its str<*n'“ is st©-dily increasi M. TANARUS, v on, its president, in his annual address before the alii .nc-convent. >n at Mac *. <i >■ a. a j year ago the number of its me n • rs was I tO.bOd, and that now it was lid, OS. In ot er states tno al ianoe has a very larg membership, and its popularity is mcrea ing. The w eel is another farmers’ • rgani zation wh se object is the same as that of the alliance. O Wednesday he Southern Inter-tate Farmers’ Assoi :at -, which hr s been boldi g its annual session at Mon gornery, Ala., adjourned after an i .tore..- ing meeting of several days. Io nearly all th > sta es. particularly the southern ad western states, the farmers are showing a disposition to protect tu.-m selves against the monopoli sand trust which c ntinueto be formed, and which are putting up the prices of about everything which the farmers are compelled to buy. In nearly all the states the numbor of farm mortgages is increasing, an P i . iriner havo btgnin to unde.stan. that • if" will not bm)eft in possession of .fry jf . e fruits of Wieir labor if th< v and not stand shoulder to shoulder and act 'g. thei for their common good. Being vkieiy separated as they are, particularly in sparsely settled communities, it is not c n venient for them to enter into c mbin i tions, and they do so only because they feci that they must in order to save the nselves from b coming the victims of the com binations which are preying upon them. The t" ine trust forced the farmers of the wi>st to combine, and the jute trust has done moro to strengthen the alliance and th - wheel in the southern states than any other thing. The southern farmers have de termined that thoy will not bo robbed by the jute trust, and they are willing to make sacrifices t . get out of its clutches. Cottoi bagging will cost them more in the long run this seas in than jute bagging, but they know that if they were to abandon their fig t against the jute trust the price of jute bagging would be a Ivanced again to a price that would bo littio, if any, less thai extortion. All the trusts bear more or less heavily upon the farmers. The sugar trust takes money out of their pocket, and so does the cotton seed oil trust. Tue far ,er increases the cost of living and the latter lessens the price of ono of their products. Indeed, it would be an eas rnattor to show that thi farmers are affected injuriously by every ono of the combinations which have beeu formed to advance pricos. The farmers do not seem yet to have got hold of the idea fully that the present tariff fosters all the trusts. If the tariff on jute bagging, for instance, were removed there would be no necessity for hu ting for a substitute for that article. The price of it would be so reasonable that it would afford no cause for complaint A jute bag ging trust would not then tie heard of. At the next session of congress the southern farmers should make a co übined effort to have the duty on jute bagging either removed or greatly reduced. They should also demand a general redaction of the tariff on all articles which are needed for the farm. Agricultural machinery and imple ents of nearly all kinds are moro costly than they would be if the tariff wore reduced to the extent it should lie. There Is one thing that the alliance should he careful of, and that is undertaking too much. The danger the organization has to fear is conflicting i forests. As long as iho purposes of all the members are the same trouble need not be apprehended, but when the interests of a part of t ie organization lead one way and the interests of auother part another way, disintegration and ruin are not far off. 0.0 purpose of the alliance is to bring the producer and the consumer closer together. The profits of the middleman, it believes, can he saved to the pr ducer. The alliance will help t ie far mers to get their supplies from first hards as nearly as possible, atid also to put their products into the hands of the con sume! s. It will also help the farmers to hoi 1 their crops until g od prices can be obtained for them. As l ing ns the alliance confines stself to these ad kindred things it will rest on a sure foundation and will prosper, but if it takes hold of queitio s in which it has only an indirect interest, or >f it meddles in politics, it is pretty certain to encounter difficulties that may wreck it. More Information Wanted. Some of our esteemed southern contem poraries a e telling the farmers how to de feat the jute combination. They adviso them to cultivate jute. One of these con temporaries says: “Why not give the south anew and valuable industry by growing all the jute the country needs? If that were done a trust would be impossible. It would have i)o tariff wall behind which to hide itself from attack as long as bagging macuinery is as cheap as it is.” The farmers of the south are satisfied that they can grow all tbe jute the entire country needs, and they are satisfied also that it would be a profitable crop, provided they had some way of prepitring it for the manufacturer as cheaply as it is prepared in ludia. The information they want from those new papers which are continually telling theinto grow jute is, how they can deco • i cate it, after they have grown it, so they will be .bio to sell it as cheaply as the imported article. Until thi. information is furniaaed it is simply nonsense to tell the farmars to grow jute. They would have begun growing it long ago if they could have done so profitably. A dozen or more decorticating machines have been invented, but their inventor, have never been able to inspire the public with confidence in t em. When a machine is invented that "ill do the work reauirod, the far ners will furnish all the jute for which there is a demand. A Mississippi dispatch indicates that Slu ger Sullivan may not hive to serve his full eute ice, and that, too, without any ac ion on the part of the supre ne court, to which he has takon an ap ieal. The dis patch says that a prominent man from the state ca.iital. Jaokson, makes the statement that Gk>v. Lowry will, just before his term of office expires, issue a proc arnation stating that there will never be any mire prize fighting in Mississippi, and that the law is vindicated, a id that he, theref >re, cun mutes Su livan’s sentence to tea or twenty day*’ imprisonment, which Suilivau will serve without waiting for a decisi >n of his appeal to the supreme court It is doubtful if Gov. L wry will do a y thing of t le sort. If he had any such iutan.ion he would not be foolish enouga to speak of it at this time. A rather large number of people have go >e to eternity by the suicide route dur ing the last few days. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1889. The Fertilizer Hills. There are two bills pending in thi legis lature fo - the protec.i n of fariutri agunst fertilizers whic • are not up to the g la:an teed standard. One is tue Sanford bill, and it has passed tbc Senate. The other is the Bra iy bill, and it has passed the H use. Thi-Sanford bill provides for t-sting th s fertilizer, which any farmer purchases, by means of ache nical a l ilysis. When a farmer buys a quantity of a fertilizer he can ave a s nnpl-of it, securely seale-l in a bottle, deposits! with the ordinary of his county. If the fertilizer and es not produce the re.ul-s which he expected, he can re fuse to pay for it on the ground of a -va it of consideratio i. If ho is sued he can have the sample deposit© 1 with the ordinary an alyzed by the state chemist, and if the i ...si, -mars t ~i„ the fertilizer was below t ie grade it was represented to be. the pay ment of the purchase pries cannot be en forced. The Brady bill provides that the soil shall be the test of the quality of tie fertilizer, if the fertilizer does ..ot pro luce the result expected the firmer who purchased it may refuse to pay for it. on the ground that it was worthless. Ali he has to do is to show that it did not benefit his crops. With a jury drawn from his immediate vicinity, he would not have much difficulty in doing that. All the firmer ought to want, and, it is probable, all he does want, is to get what he pays for, and not to be compelled to pay for that which is virtually worthless. The Hanford bill seems to give the farmer all the protection he needs. It provides a sure method of discovering whethq - the fertilizer was of th i grade it was old for. Under the Brady bill it wouid not be pos sible to determine fully whether a fertilizer in a certain case was up to tho stand ird or not. The soil does not afford a sure test. A fertidzer might produce ex-ellent results one season and no results whatever another season, or, it might enrich some soils and not others. Tho Brady bill wouid benefit the lawyers chiefly. The farmers aro as much int treated as he fertilizer manufacturers in h ving the irady bill defeated. 1 f that bill should pass they would not get fertilizers except for cash. The majority of them haven’t tho cash, and they would have to got along without fertilizers. Row that condition of affairs would affect them they alone can say. The fertilizer manufacturers say that they would sell only for cash, because they would not be able to do otherwise. They must have money with which to carry on their business. They got money now by putting the promissory notos they take from farmers into the hank and drawing against them. If the Brady bill should be come a law the banks would not take those notes. As security they would be to > uncer tain. The fertilizer manufacturers, therefore, would have no way of raising money. Tho Brady bill should bo defeated. Marshal Najls’a Case. The California lawyers aro divided ia opinion respecting the legality of Deputy Marshal Na le’s act iu kil ,ng Ju Igo Terry. Of course Terry’s friends h >ld that he is guilty of a grave crime, if not murder. Others declare that lie was justifiable in what he did. One lawyer, John D. Lawson, author of “Lawson’s Defense of Crime,” who has in idea very careful study of self defense in law, in an article published in the San Francisco Chronicle says that Justice Field would have been entirely jus tified had lie shot Terry, bocause Terry had threatened to take his life, aud after such throats had assaulted him in a manner that indicated a purpose to execute his threat. But Nagle’s case, Mr. Lawson holds, is oven stronger than Field’s. If he had neg lected to protect Justice Field, ho would have been guilty of a crime for which he wou'd, in ail probability, have been punished. Ho accented o nployrnenr, to protect Justice F eld, and if Jud ;e Terry had killed, or even wounded the justice there wouid have been no excuse for Nagle. “The law,” says Lawson, “would have ctn victed him as a felon and the community would have bra and -d him as a coward,” The “niceties of the law of s->lf-defense were not applicable to him. He was not obliged to retreat to the wall.” The penal code of California declares the killing of a human being to be jus tifiable when committed by any person in resisting any attempt to do some great b >dily injury upon any parson. This being the law, and if Mr. Lawson’s interpreta tion of the law is correct, thero is not much probability that Nagle will be convicted of any crime. Mr. Cleveland was invited the other day to at'end a tariff reform barbecue in Pla’ts burg. Mo., and after expressing his regrets at not being able to accep-, he said: “T a time is opportune for instruction an t infor mation unoa the subject of tariff reform and for the correction of misapprehension and prejudice. The question is so deep and has so much to do with tho welfare a:d happiness of the American people that its consideration ought not to bo restrained within the limits of party subserviency, and it will not thus b - restrained if it is un derstood.” Mr. Cleveland lie haves in tariff reform, and he expects to witness its triu iph. Perhaps that triumph will come in ISP2, with tho re-election of Mr. Cleve land as President. Gen. Mahone will lead the republicans of Vi gi ia in their campagin for the c -ntrol of that state. Ho has accepted the nomina tion for governor. He will be supported bv the administration, and will bs supplied, doubtless, from northern republican sources with ail the money he wants. The platform which the convention adopted is a curiosity. It reads like a partisan campaign speec , and is particularly noticeable for the lack of truth in its statements. The report of C > nmissio ier Henderson for the month ending July 31 snows that the cotton orop in Q-e rgia has been im proved seven points si ice the last monthly report, ihe commissioner concludes that the corn crop this year will be the best for the last ten years. The rice crop ha. improved four points. Returns show that the prufl.s on the melon crop have not been as great as last year. Mrs. May rick will not be hanged—her sentence having been commuted to penal servitude for life—but, to a woman like her, confinement for l.fe in a penal colony is almost as terrible as death on the gallows. If thero were sufficient doubt of Her guilt to justify the commuting of her sentenca it would seem as if it ought to be sufficient to entitle her to a pardon. Gov. Lowry and Judge Terrell have made prize-fighting s-me wnat unpopular in the south, if it was not already so, but it seems to be just as j opular ii the north as ever. The north is the home of the prize fighters. CURRENT COMMENT. Very Funny—in England. From the Providence Journal ( Dem .) Gen. Houlan,- -r regar-ls his convict on and sentence as a farce but be will rernaiu in Hug land and laugh at it. Tanner’s Mottoes. From the Xew York World (Dem.) The two mottoes of the pension office under its present adniirustra i->n appear to be: "The Surplus Must Go," and "A bummer's Vote is as Good as a Soldier's." Will an Extra session be Called? From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.) The party that did not hesitate to balk the will of the people in choosing a President will make short, work in unseating objectionable representatives. But in order to put the ax in motion there must be a working majority to begin with. It may be prudent to wait for re inforcements from the Dakotas, Washington and Montana. People Who riticise the South. From the Mobile Register (Dem.) There are iwo classes of people who write about the south and its people whose utterances should have very little weight; the one. those who have never visit-d this section: th * other, those who view everything in the south through the medium of prejudice. Northern men who come among us ready to look t facts, and to acc pt whatever infen-nces nre deducible from those facts, who are not l- a victims of sectional preju i.ee to an extent that prevents them from believing that any cuing gool can come out of the southern Galilee, and wh are prepare Ito approve as well as blame; such men as tbese ever write of the south justlv and fairly.

In the midst of the hurrying life that we lead We always find time the papers to read. We look for the politics, shipping, the sports, The telegrap i news an 1 the weather reports, Hut instead of the items we all wish to see, We find long accounts of “Baby McKee." We read how he looks, how he talks, how he grows. We read how he falls on his queer little nose, How he digs in the garden, and rakes up the h:iy. And plays out of doors all the bright summer day; And not least how he rides on his grandfather's knee. This wonderful infant! This "Baby McKee!" So doubt it’s of interest to parents whose joys Are centered at home n the.r own baby boys, But as day after day it is thrust in our eye By th'* paragraph writer, we think as we sigh: Is there ever a spot on this earth we can flee Where we won’t find übiquitous “Babv McKee?" How Horr Tackled Sunset. trom the New York Star. Apropos of the homecoming of Hon. S. S Cox. I recall a story lecently told me by Hon. William Dickson, of Washington, about a funny verbal set-to which t:ie New Yorker had with ex-Congressman Boswell G. Horr, the famous Michigan joker. Horr made a great reputation forj-iugfiing down and deriding opposition ar guments, and was looked up >n as almost in vincible by his brother republicans until he chanced one day to lock horns with the gentle man from the Ninth New York. The story is this, as near as I remember: It was during the Forty-fourth congress, in the co ir*e of a donate, that Horr brought a laugh from the galleries by referring to the scant physical proportion of New York’s Sun srt. It was rather a:i unfortunate aJusion for tue warrior of the Sagiuaws. fox looked at him a minute, then turning, quoted: “Why should the spirit of mortal be proud?” Pausing, he pointed to Horr’s big trame, ani e -ntnmed: “Why should there be proud flesh in this House?

An experience in From the Chicago Herald . Two prominent memoers of the Calumet Club were down in Arkansas last fall on busi ness and one day took a notion to go out on a deer hunt Tney were in the neighborhood of Carlisle, where the game is usually pretty abuud nit; so procuring the services of a guide, • hey rallied forth to kill their first buck. After stationing the club men in a likely position the guide made a gr ind detour to round up the game. In a little while along came a handsome doe; she stood looking into toe double-barreled guns for a few seconds with that ar f mild curiosity so affected by all do r. and was a>out to bound avvay when the guns re ported and the doe fell dead. Both men i *mp, and outtoc'aim the prize, but two widely-sepa rated wounds convinced them that each one owned a half interest in her. While they stood •ongratulating each other a little girl came running up, and, seeing tho dead doer, began crying latterly. Pres mtly a lank native saun tered along and joined the group. “S’pose ye think ye’re in big luck, eh?” said the man, after contemplating the doe for a tew ninutes, and following his remark with a heavy trail of nicotine. “Why, yes, we had thought so," one of the hunters nervously ventured. M antime the girl was s bbing as if her would break, and between gasps tho Chicago nimro s learned t ,at they had shot her pet deer. Both stood a chasr, au i one hinted he would give anvthiug to square it. “Settle weth ther gal, not weth me," said the native; "ther critter’s bora, no: mine!” Th • club men then consulted and agreed not to gi .e over 20 for the deer. “How much do you want us to pay you little girl?" asked one. Sh* raised her tear-stained face, thoug it a minute, and then soobed: “Bout $2 casri, I reckon, eh pap?” Then followed another outburst. They gave her 05, glad to settle so easily, and let the oid man carry off the deer. Th y went back to their hotel without waiting lor the guide, but when he showed up and l h y told their story he called them the biggest, blankest idiots in torty counties, and swore that tu y had neon worked.

In the smoking car, along with halt a dozen others ot us, was au engineer who was going down to Peoria, and after a time the judg started to draw him out by saying: "I presum you have had your share of close shaves, along with other engineers?” "I have sir,” was the reply. "Been in many smashups?” “ full dozen, I guess.” “Any particular adventure that might be called wonderful?” “Why, yes, l did have one,” replied the man, after relighting his old cigar stump. “I didn't think it any great shave myself, but the boys cracked it up . s something extra.” “Let us hear about it,” said the judge, as he passed him a Havana. “Well, one day about three years ago I was coming west with tue lightning express, and was running to make up lost time. Down here ab ut twentv miles two roads cross as you will see, and there are a lot of switches and side tracks. I had just whistled for the crossing and put on the brakes when the coupling between the tender and tne baggag car broke.” “I see, I see,” murmured the judge. “At the same moment something went wrong with old No. 4 . and I could not shut off steam She sprang away like a flash, and as she struck the crossing she left the track and entered a meadow filled with stumps. ” “Good heavens!” “.'he Kept a straight course for about forty rods, smashing the stum s every second, and then leaped a ditch, struct: the rails of the D. and R. r ad. and after a wobble or two settled down and ran for two miles.” "Amazing! Amazing!’’ “Then, at a crossing she left the metals, en tered a con.fl -id. and, bearing to the right plowed her way across the country until “she ca ne to our own road again. She had a long jump to make over a marsh, but she made it, 'truck the rails, and away she went." "You— don’t—say—so!" "I was now beiiin i my train, and after a run of two miles.

The superintendent pocketed the balance of the money.” “The scoundrel! And how much are you paid a month?" “Ninety dollars.” ‘ That’s for running on the road?" “Yes.” “And nothing for lying?” "Not a red.” “That's an outrage.

St. Paul is one broad grin over the discovery by an evening paper that the Minneapolis di rectory is padded with the names of dogs. A reporter found the following on page 223 of the Minneapolis directory just issued: “Carl Bax ter, colored, watchman, Crescent JMub.” Having been given a tip that something was wrong about this entry, the reporter called at the Crescent Club and accosted W. a. Baxter steward of the club, whose name appears just beneath that of “Carl Baxter,” with the re quest to be introduced to the latter. “Cer tainly,'' said Mr. Baxter with a smile, and with a low whistle called up a splendid brown dog "There, my boy,” he said, “is Mr. Carl Baxter I have had that dog six years, and he is brighter than half the men in this city. He is a treasure, and I have had nig name put in the directory] He is entered as ‘Carl Baxter, colored, v atch' man.

The comptroller is rather fond of j-welry, any how. He wears four or five gypsy-set diamond and sapphire rings, which always take a promi nent part in committee meetings, but when the comptroller, with his diamond-incrusted fingers writes a note with his more thoroughly dia mo Kt-incnisted lead pencil, the eyes of Supt McLaughlin of the City Record and Tom Gilroy the commissioner of public works, fairly "gleam with envy. The comptroller s pencil is the comptroller's pet. It is about 3 inches long whoa it is uotin use, and from end to end the outer case is ODe dazzle of diamonds. It was given to the comptroller some tiin- ago in ap preciation of his many mer ts, and there is nothing that he seems to prize more highly Even i.eputy Comptroller Storrs follows suit with a less expensive pencil, and Sheriff Flack, whose marital troubles are juet now prominent, ahm nas something unusual in the way of load pencils.
