The Morning News’ Annual Trade Review— A Few Pointers in 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 Friday, Sept. 6. The year ending Sept. 1,1839, will be a memorable one ii the history of Savannah, and the Morning Nbwb propose* to give the widest publicity to what Savannah ha 9 done, is doing, and proposes to do in the near future. There is no better way io which the outside world can be informed of what is going on in a commun.ty than ttircugh the columns of its newspapers. The Morning News in its forthcoming Trade Review will show by facts and .ogures 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, an fully alive to the great ess of her future. They 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 ere 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 iu the south. The Morning News will, in its Trade Review, present to the world “Savannah ol to-day,” in a resume of w hat has hereto fore appeared in Its columns. The review will be in such shape that, at a glance, it will be seen what has beon accomplished during the year. The Trade Review will contain article* •bowing 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 is 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 •bow 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 t 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 oopies, and that number will lie distributed, if the response of the business 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. Commissioner Tanner’s statement that he did everything in his power to prevent the grand army men from indorsing him may very well be aocepted as true. O.e can even imagine Tanner, as he pictured him self, rusking from an ante-roam, wnere he had bee i communing with a black bottle, nto the hall, w ere the vetera is we o in dorsing him, and going through a psr formance in pantomime that would have made a deaf mute ashamed of himself. Another such indorsement, and Taunar would have to go. Tho esteemed New York Tribune is pleased to note that a son of ex-Senator Thurman and another prominent Ohio democrat are about to fi.ht each other. The Tribune, is ju .tided in bei ig giad to have its attention withdrawn for a short while from the wrangling that is being car ried on in the Republican party. Encourage the Public Schools The discussion of the Alexander educa tional bill in the House a day or t vo a* > showed very p'a nly that there is a much stronger feeling m the legislature than ever before iu favor of a good system of pibhc education. The members of tle leg.datura express the se itim3 its of their o i.-ituinti when they spak in favor of improving the public schools. The Alexaaler bill is not entirely satis factory to s .ie members of thi legislature, because they think that if it were to be come a law toe b acks would take ad vantage of it in counties in which they are largely in the majority, ani im.iose heavier burdens upon the whites, who pay about ail the taxes, than they coal 1 bear. Thsra is not much reason, however, to fea-aar thingof that k. id. The bill provides that counties may levy additional taxis for scho Lpurpises, provided that tws-th ris of the whole number of qialifiel votes sanction sue h a levy. Before an electi sn can be I. el l In any county, however, two gran 1 juries mud favor it and flf:y free holders must pstiti >n for it. Tnes pro visions woul i seem to afford the whit -s in the black counties all the protection they need. The A’exander bill might be so amended as to overcoma the objections to it that have been raise 1. If there are count.es which desire better educational advantages than are provide 1 by the state the way for obtaining them should bo opine l. T.'.ft leg islature could uot afford t > enact a law for each county. If it enncsaiylaw on the subject the law must necsssarily boa ga i eral one. Tne educational com mttee re ported the Aiexandor bill favorably. No doubt it gave it very cara ul a id thorough c timid'ration. Still, it might be amend'd so that the whites of the black ciu itiss would not bo in danger of being too heavily burdened. The blacks are beginning to appreciate the public schools, but they and i iot yet ap preciate ,Uom s ifflfie ltly to lie willing to helpstipp Tt them. They want their children to have the benefit of th nn, but they and > not deny the nselves in any respect in order that they may make the schools better. It is a mistake to say that they are to > poor to do so. If they were to give 10 percent, of what th-y spend for intoxicating liquors it would be possible to keep the schools open several months more eacn year. It is gratifying that the sentiment in favor of a better public school system is steadily becoming stronger throughout the state. With larger intelligence will come happier homes, a thriftier population, be’- ter methods of farming, more produc ive farms, and a condition of affairs in every respect more desirable. When the public schools a e made what they ought to be i w.ll not be n*cessary to invite immlgratio 1. It will come of its own accjrd. The immi grant* will be of the kind that is wanted. They will come from the leas favore-1 states, and they will bring the means with then to assist in building up the communities in which they settle. In the debate on the Alexander bill atten tion was directed to the school system of Florida. The system there is an admiraole one, and it has been one of the chief agen cies in making the state prosperous. Care is taken to build attractive school houses and to got capable teacaors. There i; no reason why Georgia’ schools should not be as good as those of Florida The legisla uro should encourage c unmon school education in every possible way. It could make no greater mistake than to fail t > do so. Mr. Wanamalcers Postal Telegraph fccheme. Postmaster General Wnuamaker is am bitious, it appears, to earn the reputation of having put into successful operation a successful postal telegraph schema. He is discussi g such a scheme with the p-esideut of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and with others who control small tele graph lines. It is understood that the Western Union is ready to boeomo a party to the sche tie. The only tiling in the way is the question of rates. It is probable that the telegraph companies want higher rates than the Postmaster General thinks it would be advisable to charge. Of course, the Postmaster General cannot make any binding arraa ;oment relative to postal telegraphy. He can only make recom mendations to congress. There is no doubt, however, that his recomme idatious would be approved if the telegraphic rates were at all reasonable. It is said that bs is n>w pressing the telegraph companies to accept rates that would make a postal telegraph syblem a success. The Postmaster General has a contro versy with the Western Union como.auy about tne rates the government shall pay or m>ssi:os. He seams to have dropped that for the present and to be devoting a great deal of time to the postal telog aph scheme. During the di eussi mof the qn >s tion of the rates to be paid by the govern ment the Western Union company declared that oue of its greatest expenses was the collection and delivery of messages. This declaration directed the Postmaster General’s attention to a postal telegraph s ,-stem. He concluded that the government c mid collect aid de liver message in tin towns whore the special delivery system was in operation, and he therefore proposed that the government should col lect and deliver messages if tho telegraph companies would so reduce the ratss that the telegraph would bo uel to a much greater extent than at present. Of course if the Postm aster General suc ceeds iu his undertaki ig he will make a reputation that will be a 1 isting one. If he is worki ig for a inouu nont ie had better bead all his energies in the direction of the postal telegraph sche ne. Dr. Earnest Laplace, of Nsw Orleans, 28 years of age, is soon to t ike the chair of pathology in the Medico-Chirurgioal col lege, Philadelphia. He was one of the first physicians in this cou itry to make oxp'ri ments with Dr. Brown-Seq lard’s elixir. He say* that it is an excells it to lie for old people. He experimented ou fifteen persons outside of the hospital, aid ten were afforded great relief from the diseases from which they were suffering. T;vo old men, callectors by occupation, suffering from de bility, were enabled to work all day with out feeling any extraordinary fatigue. In eight cases of rheumatism and spinal affec tion, all paius disappeared and the patients claimed t > have bjeu cured. In on? case of spinal trouble the gait wis materially im proved, and an arm which hal heretofore been uuflt for US3 was made serviceable.

Lee a legal holiday in this state, What does Senator Gibbi, ot the Twenty eighth district, say to teis? TIIE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1), 1889. Systems for Selling Oranges. The Producers' Pries Current of New York, in a lengthy article, compares the auction system of disposing of Florida oranges with that of private -ales, ad rescues the conciusioi that the best results are to be obtained from the latter. The reason given for publishing the article is that the reports, whica have bjon vridsly circulate!, that the meeti ig that was held in New York a couple of weeks ago for the purpose of arranging for selling oranges at auction was to organize a trust, ore erroneous. It says that no such thing a - - a trust was thought of, aid t at those who called the meeting si merely believed that the auction system would give more satis faction to orange growers than any other. There is no doubt that tne e has bean a great deal of dissatisfaction among orange growers during the last few seasu .s with the receipts from their shipments, and doubtless they are inclined to tninic that they have not been de ilt with honestly by the commission merchants. It is probable that in many in tancas they have been vic tims of dishonest merchants, but it is prob ably safe to say that in most casus they have been dealt with fairly and bonestl Tho Producers' Price-Current gives several reasons why the auc ion system would not io satisfactory, ail of wui h ap pear to bo quits str mg ones. Oie of them is that by the auction system the oranges would ba sold as fast as received without any regard to whether or not the market was overstocked. Another is that oranges often arrive at their destination with signs of decay among them, or green, or badly assort'd, and if they were sold in that con dition a very low price would be received from them. The com mission merchants are ca-eful to sue th it the orailge; c mslgned t> then are put in a condition, if their condition ca i bo improved, that will attract buyers. They not only do that, but when the sup dy is greater than the demand they hold back their consignments unt.l thedumand be comes more active. Of course there is a great deal to be said for and ag inst both systems, and the grow ers must decide for tbems3lvo3 wtiic.u of tne two promise, the butter results. It is doubt ful if any agreement between growers can fie reached. In that event it will be impos.iblo to dispose of t ie orange crop by one method alone. The present orange crop, which promisis to be very large, will doubtless be disposed of by boili sys tems, and it might be well ;or growers to observe both carefully with the view of forming an opinio ins to which L the eiter. The growers themselves can do a great deal toward getting better pric ‘S. They ran H-sort t cir ora igus inoro carefully and they can send them o market in a condition that witl meet the market’s dutna ids. Good oran ;es commind good prices always. It is often very difficult to soli tne inferior grades at any price, particularly whan there is au abundance of otner kinds of fruit. The assertion that is sometimes mads that tho Florida orange product is now greater than the de uand for it has no foundation whatever. Tne increased trans protntion facilitie; place it iu all the cities and towns of the c suntry, and the demand is certain to keep abreast of the supply. Tbs Chicago Tribune asks: “Isn’t the prou 1 state of Ge irgia rather slow in bring ing her duelists (Calhouu and Williamson) to punishment?” \V ill the Tribune bo g >od o tough to point out hiw G.iorgia is going to do that thing? If that bloody shirt organ were as anxious to sta e facts as it is to c ist reflections up m Georgia and Georgians, it would have answered its own question by stating that the Calhoun Williamson duel took place in Alabama, and that, thorefo e, the courts of Georgia liavo no jurisdiction in the matter. I)r. Oliver Wendell Holmes, who cele brated his SOSh birt iday last weak, is a very genial eurocrat, but sometimes his feelings get rutile 1. They were ruftl > 1 tiy a little in cident upon the occasion named. Among the many telegrams of congratulation whica he received was one from an entire stranger. Dr. Holm >s did not object to being co - by a stranger, but what aroused his wrath was that the teleg -am was sent “collect,” and it cost him !tj cents. Ha was disposed to believe that he did not get his money’s worth of good wishes. A Philadelphia young ia ly, Miss Aanie Geiger, ha* a curi ms n tion of what consti tutes ajo re. The other day she bought some goods at Wanamnker’s store, and had them charged to one of the clergym in of that city. She sai l she thought it would be a good joke ou the clergym in’s son. When a policeman arrested her on a charge of ob taining goods uud ir false pretenses, she was disposed to think that her joke had turned out very badly for her. Miss Susan B. Anthony has hopes. She lias said so. Miss Susa i, as is well known, is for female rights, including suffrage, and although sh-3 is 72 years old, she hopes to live to see tho day when women will not only be allowed to vote aud to hold office, but when they will have the privilege of asking tho men of their choice to marry tuem. Miss Susan might begin the last named reform by proposing tj so tie nice young fellow, likeGon. Butler, for instance. If what Mr. Georg; W. Childs, the editor of the Phila ielp iia Ledjer , sayj is true, it is uselesi for Edit >r Hatton, of tho Wash ington Post, to say anything else in favor of the removal of Gm. Grant’s re nains to Arlington. Mr. Childs says that Mrs. Grant is satisfied for her husband’s remains t) rest in Riverside park, and tnat she ex pects to i>e bur.ed there by his side. If Mrs. Graut is satisfied, everybody else should be. The Pittsburg Dispatch remarks that the West Virginia democrats don’t care who cast tho vo es iu that s ate, so long as they do the counting. Oa! yes, they do. They care a great deal, as the republicans of West Virginia to ind out when one or two hun dred republican votes, cast by negroes who had beeu brought from Virginia for that p .rpose, were thrown out. The New York Herald says that Mrs. Patterson, of Asbury Park, N. J., whose husband wants to obtain a divorce, is a granddaughter of the late Judge Berrien, of Georgia. Her maiden name was Tullie Casandra Larisoa. From her story she is the oue who is entitled to a divorce. The Rev. Samuel Jones is itirring up the sinners at Round Lake, N. Y. Some flip pant editor will probably inquire soon how much the Rev. Samuel Jones is getting for tuis work. It is to be hoped that the pav is as good as the work. * Ex-Speaker Carlisle thiuks that Mr. McKinley will bo the next speaker of tfce House. He says that Mr. Blaine's influence will defeat Mr. Reed.

Georqe W. Childs concludes his reminis cences in Lipninc itt's for September in this way; “If asked what, as the result of my expe rience, is the greatest pleasure of my life, I soould say doing good to others. Not a strik ingly original remark, perhaos, but seemingly t'n-most difficult thing in the world is to be prosperous and generous at the same time.” M. J. Tissot, the French artist, is engaged upon a series of water col rs reprosmti ig the Life of Christ' They will number 300, of which cne-tui.'d are ahead ’ finished. Toe pal it-r, who has made'.two journeys to Palestine for lo 'al color, reckons that they will all bo off tils hau ls in two rears' time. The series w ill be published in a sumptuous volume. Each draw ing is about I<xl2 inches. Henry M. Alden, the editor of Horner's Mag azine, was originally a preacher. He is a quiet, unassu aing liltle man, wnose world is bound by the narrow limits of his office. He was unite taken off his teet when he was invited by Antelie Rives to visit her o and aristocratic home in Virginia, lferj he spent ten days in un wonted social enjoyment and returned to New York with his sactiel full of stories, poems, sketches and other .MSS., which sooner or later fouud their w ay into Harper's. Robert Hamilton Ha was making a speech in the assembly chamber one evening some years ago, and Gen. Hus cd was in the chair. Hamil ton was prosy and Husted got nervous. Finally he ban lei a note to a page and told him to take it to Assemblyman Lyons.. The boy misunder stood him and handed the note to Hamilton. He paused in hia speech and read th- scrap of paper. It said: “Welsh rarebit ani beer to night; come early.” Hamilton blushed, stain m re l a few words, loosed at Huste l iu auger and sat down at once. Robert Browning is one of the readiest, the blit.iest, an t the most forcible of talkers. Like the Monslgnore in “Lothair." he can “sparkle with anecdote and bla/.e with repartee,” and when he deals iucritieis n the edge of his sword is mercilessly whotte I against pretension and vanity. The inflection of his voice, tne flash of the eye, the pose of the head, the action of the hand, al! lend their special emphasis to the con demnation. “I ike religion to he treated seri ously.” he exclaimed, with reference to a recent novel of great renown, "and Ido.i’t want to know what this curate or that curate thought about it. No, I dou't.” Hon. Allen G. Thurman of Ohio is at the Virginia Hot Springs, attended by a considera ble portion of his family. He is not. a Wash ington .Star writer says, as feeble in appearance as tue newspaper reports of hi n lead o; e to expect him to be. It is greatly in his favor that he is not sto.it of figure, but is slender, and carries his goodly Light erect. His fuh s it of white hair flows over the collar of his black Price Albert coat, and his ruddy c untenanca is fringed by white chin whiskers. He wears a vete-an black silk high hat, which he varies with a black Turkis l smoking cap, which is highly unbecoming to his age and style. His infirmity is rheumatism, that bar settled in his legs below the knees and causes him to hug his cane closely in walking. But his mind does not halt. He is always the center of an admiring group of men when he is upon tho piazza, and the loud laughter that follows the narration of his st ries indicates that his tongue has not lost its cunning in garui,hing a tale to tickle the masculine fancy.

He Telia of Yet Mure Wonderful Things that He :a to Bring Forth. From *he Courier des F.tats Unis. The reporter asked Mr. Edison if it was true that he had invented a machine by the aid of which a man in New York would bo able to see everything that his wife was doing in Parts. “I don’t kn said Mr. Edison, laughing, “t! a’ that would be a real biueilt to humanity. The women certainly would p ot -st. But. speak ing seriously, I am at work on an invention which 'ill allow a man iu Wall street not only to telephone to a friend in the Central [ ark. but to see that friend while he is chatting tele pnomeally with him. Tuis invention would be usdul and practical, and I see no reas m why it shomd not soon become a reality, and one of tne first things that I shall do when I get bacit to America wilt be to set up this con trivance between my laboratory and my ttle phone workshops. Moreover, I Lav- already obtained satis aotory results la r pr during im ages at that distance, which is only about 1.000 feet. It would be ridiculous to dream of seeing any one bet ween New York and Paris. The round form of the earth, if there were no other difficulty iu the way. would make the thiag im poss.be. Shaking of the phonograph, the reporter asked if it had reached its highest degree of perfection. “almost, I think,” said Mr. Edison “in the last instruments turned out of my workshops. Y< u must know that the ordinary phonograph employed in commerce does not beg n to com pare with th ■ latest machines that 1 use in my private experiments. With the latter I can ob tain a sound powerful enough to reproduce P iras of asp eth that can bo beard perfectly by a lar.-e audience. My last am diorations were with the aspirate sounds, which are the weak point of t o graphophone. For seven mouths I worked from eighteen to twenty hours a day upon the single sound ’speeia.' I wool i say to the Instrument apecia,' an !it woulj always say 'pecia,’aud I couldn’t make it say anythin? else. It was enough to make me crazy. But I stuck to it until I suc ceeded. and now you can read 1,093 words of a newspaper at tne rate of 150 words a minute, and the instrument will repeat them to you without an omission. You can imagine the difficulty of the task that t a compl’sho I when I tell you that the impressions made upon the cylinder are not more t.ian one-millionth part of an inch in depth, and are completely in visib'eeven with th *i.d of a microscope.” Reporter-And what new discoveries will be made in electricity? Mr. E iison—Ah, that would bo difficult to say. We may some day come upon one of the groat' secrets of nature. I am always on the lookout for something which may help me to solve tne problem of navigating the air. I have worked hard upon this subject, but 1 am very much discouraged. We may find s cnethiag new before that comes; but that will come. ' r, Edison further said that the great and vel opment of electricity will come when we find a more econo ideal method of producing it. During his trip across the ocean he remained for hours on deck looking at the waves, aud he s tys that it ma le him wild when he saw so much force going to waste. “But one of these days,” he continued, “we will chain all tiiat— the falls of Niagara a well as the winds—and that will be the millennium of electricity.” Tric-tery Withia a . rick. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. ffou see this dollar ?’’ said one of a company of men in front of a ro-ewood bar in one of the leading hotels in Philadelphia, as he handed a do lar to one of the gr up, who examined it. ami p isseil it around amon ; the company. All decided there was uothi.ig unusual iu its ap pearance, unless it was co rat rfeit. “No. It's not counterfeit,’’ said the first speaker, “but I will 1 t you take tnat dollar and spin it on the bar. I will turn my hack aud will tell von whether it turns hea i or tail.” ' Impossible.” said o oof the doubters, “un less vou use a looking glass.” “No, I don’t us anything, and I’ll bet you drinks i'll tell it every time.” “Done,” said the doubt 'r. The man turned his h ick to the bar, the coin was spun, and as it settled he c died out; “Head*." It w’as “heads.” “M ike it three out of fiv t times for another round,” said another of the group. “Certainly,” consented the stranger, accom modatingly. A gain the coin spun around, and “tails” was called. The third time it turned “tails,” ani a third time the stranger “ealied.” “I can keep it up all night, gentlemen,” he said smilingly. The drints were mid for, and the stranger, under the genial influence of the liquor, and the urgent requests of tne company, said: "I don't often give my tricks away, but it will leak out sooner or later. You sue, gentle men. the coin on the ’head’ side is nicked Very slightly by a knife, the nicks being about an eighth of an inch anart. Thenie -sure so small as to be scarcely perceptible. Wee i you spin the coin, if it turns on the nicked side it settl s ou ckly, whereas, on tho other side it slowly seltleu taking fully twice as long to ‘die’ as ou the other side. By the differenc i in sound, you see, 1 can tell which side turns up, or, rather, down. It’s ali toi l by sound.” The coin was handed around and spun again, and what the stra .ger said proved true, much to the delight of tho group, who were glad, as is usually tee case, to get hold of a trick which at hi' -t seemed in -xp! cable. “Tuere, fix me a dollar iu that way," said one of the group, handing out the money, and the other four requ -stud a tike favor at the hands of the stranger, who. taking out a penknife, obligingly did as requested. Then, bidding them a polite gool-nigu .he raeefu.lv retired, leaving the group spinning their coins. Sud denly one of t ie:n picked up his dollar, exam ined it, and quickly flung it on the bar, the sound given out being the unmistakable dull, dead soun 1 of a counterfeit. ’ Done for $ i,” said he. as he looked r'efully at the door where t ie stranger had disappeared. “Well, we've learned a trick well worth a dol lar,” said another, philosophically. An . niant erribie. From the St. Paul Glob-. A company of ladies and gentlemen sat at dinner last evening at the residence of a well known citizen ou Laurel avenue. By great pleading .in 1 reiterated promises to be good, a small boy of the family was allowed to ba pres ent, at the "domrs.” as be expresst: 1 it. When the wine-drink.ng stage of tho procoad i"gs was reached, the youthful sou of his father forgot all about bis promises and wanted wine. "You can’t have wine. Charlie,” said the doting ma ma, as she stroked the silken hair of her darling, and whispered in his child-like ear that he would “spill it on his clothes.” The pro ising youngster glanced down at a very pretty little pair of wine-colored knickerbock ers. in which his fat limbs were onense i, and as his eye lit upon their shapely proportions and attractive color, his face became suddenly illuminated with the dawn of anew idea. “Mamma.” he said, “if you don't give me some wine I'll tell." “What will you tell?” asked the mother in a fond whisper. “About my pants,” was the reply. “Well, if you do I shall sap you, and you won't like tuat, will you?” The youngster was quiet for a few minutes, but. soon broke out again and clamored loudly for wine “You shall have no wine,” said the head of tho house iu a determined voice. “Weil, I’li tell, then.” Th' ladies present were just itching to hear what the precocious youngster had to tell, and one smiling on the boy said: “That’s right, you tell on them if they won’t give you Tiny wine " “'Veil, then," howled the malicious little imp, “my new pants an- made out of ma's old window curtaiDs, and I don’t care who knows it.” Exit mamma and Charlie; loud cries from the back kitche i. suppressed laughter from the well bred coterie in the dining room.
