The Morning News’ Annual Trade Re view, containing a complete and compre hensive statement of the business of Savan nah, will be issued Fr day, Sept. 0. The year ending Sept. 1,1839, will be a memo:-ab!e one ii the history of Savannah, and the Morning News proposes to give the w idest 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 ,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 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, preseutto 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 bo seen what has been accomplished during the year. The Trade Review will contain articles showing the business 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 aud 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 show that they are satisfied that she is only at the beginning of her commercial greatresa Tho Trade Review will be printed in the u*ual 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 tbat number will be 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 05 for copies of the paper can be handed in at the business office, or, if desired, they will be called for bv the can vasers. Gen. Gordon, in hi 9 address to tho Geor gia veterans, did well to remind the people that Washington was a southern mi 1. .„e north has fallen i ito tho habit of assumin g that statesmanship is and has always boo . confined exclusively to that section, w ben the fact is tnat ths sotrtn nas furnished the greatest statesmen in the history of the country, and it still does a good deal in tnat line. Race Troubles. The cause of the trouble between the whites and blacks ii Le Flore county, Miss., i has not yet teen clearly stat din the pub lic prints. It us cert a: : that'several hun dred blacks cong.eg -od a :d thr.-ateued to attack the white- f r some real or fancied wrung, and that q nte a large force of whites dispersed them before the arrival of the military company, which tiie governor had .'■ent to the scene of the disturbance. There ought to bs a very thorough investi gation of the affair with the view of plac ing the blame where it belongs and tiuuish mg those guilty of causing the disturbance. Avery serious riot occ irred at Golds boro, a suburb of New Orleans,on Sunday. It began when a train of several cars loaded with colored excursionists entered the place. The whites say that the blacks beg in tho shooti ig, and the blacks declare that he whites fired the first shots. Quito a number of people, white and black, were wounded. After the shooting some white hoodlqips burned a church belonging to the blacks, ami 'committed other acts of a law less character. The New Orleans newspapers call for an investigation of the riot, and say that although the origin of it may he in doubt, there is no question that white men set fire to the church. The authorities of New Orleans will fail in discharging their duty if they do not make every effort to arre-t and send to tho penitentiary the perpetrators of the wanton act of vandal ism. Indeed, the state should take hold of the matter and exert its whole power to puidsib4iMguiUy parties. It has not been very lotigMnce similar outrages were c mi nntted .ill Gretna, another suburb of New Orlean*. Unless tis lawless spirit of New Orleans hoodlums is checked, there will soon be a very unhappy condition of affairs in that city. The riot in Louisiana and tho one in Mis sissippi should be investigated carefully and thoroughly, and the facts given to the pub lic. The fact that in such disturbances more blacks than whites are hurt creates the impression abroad that the whiles are responsible for them. That fact, however, does not show that the whites are to blame. It only shows that when a disturbance is begun the whit s display the greater coolness and do better shooting. The public is en titled to the facts, however, and it is the duty f the Louisiana and Mississippi nu inoritios to furnish thorn. It is probable that in each case it will appear that the blacks were the aggressors. W hile tho blacks, as a general tiling, are |ieace ul and law-abiding, there are many among them who are constantly seeking to make trouble. A few discontented and mis chief-making blacks, where there is a large black population, can keep an entire commu nity in a condition of unrest because the blacks are ea-ly lead into wrong-doing. The trouble in Mississippi appears to have been caused by the worst class of blacks. In a Nutshell. The Hon. S. B. Price, mayor of Macon, was ii New York the other day. Ho -aid: "In Georgia and the south we want north ern capitalists and immigrants who moan business; we don’t want carpet-b ggers.” Mayor Price has stated th* case in a nut shell. The south offers to-day greater in ducements to capitalists and immigrants than any other part of the country. She is being industrially developed nt a wonderful rate, but the ad vancement that has been n-.ado in the last ten years in this respect will ap pear almost insignificant when qompared with that which will be made in the next ten. The fields of industry w hich are being workod are just beginning to reveal their riches, and there aie fields which have scarcely been invaded. The capitalist who wauts to get the best possible interest on his money should invest in southern enter prises, aud immigrants, if they intend to apply themselves to honest work, would find the south the bast p ace for them. While the south wants northern capital, and hard-working and hone it northern im migrants, it doesn’t want people who would come hero for no other purpose than to get that which they cannot get in the north, viz., office; who would not help to develop her resources, would do not mg but stir up bad feeling be. wesn the races. We have had enough of people of that sort. Northern people who mean business will meet with a warm welcome. Tlioso who come to work mischief will very soon find out that they are not wanted. The esteemed northern republican news papers are more or less excited over u speech by ex-Collector Crenshaw, of Georgia, when he turned over his office toCollector Johnson the other day. Mr. Cren shaw is reported to have said that lie was am bitious to hold but one more office—when all the rottenness, peculation, fraud, cor ruption, venality, rascality, ante-datod res ignations, social equality between whites and blacks, co-educatio i of the racer and other outrageous misdeeds of republican misrule were conglomerated in one mass and heaped in one pile, he would be a can didate to apply the torch to the crackling kindling. These remarks were construed by thb republican press to be an insult to Collector Johnson. A sere ne to swindle ex-confederate sol diers lias been unearthed iu Washington, A claim agent named Tolliver had prepared for circulation iu the southern states letters iu winch it was stated that all ex-confeder ates who joiued the southern army against their will would be paid by the government for all injuries to body or property during tue war. Tolliver stipulated that such persons should send him $o each before t-eir claims were placed iu the proper channel. His Scheme was nipped in the bud, aud he was told that if he circulated the letters he would be prosecuted for uung the mails for fraudu lent purposes. In 1880 Edward M. Andrews, of Florida, formerly of Connecticut, mysteriou ly dis appear, aud it was thought that he had bee i murdered by colored people. So strong was this belief that an insurance company paid to his supposed widow the amount of his insurance p dicy, but latoly it is claimed to havo beeu discovered that be is still alive. He is said to have traveled in China and Japan since his supposed death, aud to have settled in Portland, Ore. While in Florida Mr. Andrews established the second largest saw mill in the state, bu as a pecuniary venture it was not a success. The Miliedgeville Chronicle thinks that the protection newspapers in Georgia are keeping remarkably quiet just now. So they are, but it is whispered that they are going to be pretty uoisy next year. That’s a novel plan wbicti Mr. Flagler proposes to carry ou: in SL Augustine. Won’t it make St. Augustine the great base ball center of the world! THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER o, 1889. The Brady Bill. It is not probable that the Brady bill will attract any more attention iu this legisla ture. It was defeated yesterday in the Senate by a very >mall majority. It re ceived more votes, however, iu that body than it was generally thoug t it would. Doubtless t e alleged discovery that alow grade fertilizer had teen sold to some Fcriven coanty farmers for a higher- grade helped to ii crea E e the vote f r it. However, the bill would not have been taken up yester day oad riot the president of the Senate (Mr. dußignon) assisted its opponents. The farmers who appreciate the injury the Brady bill would have done them if it had become a law, and the fertiliz *r dealers are under o ligations to Mr. dußignon in this matter. It may be that the farmers are impos ©d upon sometimes by unprincipled fertilizer dealers, bu: it is quite safe to say that in the great majority of instances the farmers get just what they buy. Because now and then a fertilizer is sold for w hat it is uot, it does not follow that all ter ilizer dealers deceive their customers. Cott. n, sometimes, issent to market with brickbats in the bales, but that doesn’t prove that all cotton farmers are dishonest. It is only once in awhile that a farmer pays for n better fertilizer than he gets. It may be true that fertilizers do not always produce good results, but the fault may not he with the fertilizers. Some soils are not improved by one kind of fertilizer, but respond gen erously to another kind. A fertilizer that produces good results one season may not do so another. The Brady bill, if passed, would have been a heavy blow to tho fertilizer industry in this state. Indeed, it is probable that the industry would h .ve been ruined. The farmers would not have been benefited. Their burdens would have been increased. They would have had to pay cash for fer tilizers, and meny of them w uld have had to borrow money at ruinous rates of inter est to do so. It is a good thing for all concerned that the bill has been defeated. It was a dan gerous bill. There is no telling where the kind of legislation for which it provided would have stopped had it become a law. The same sort of legisla ion would have been demanded probably with respect to other articles, until finally it would have been difficult to carry o i business. Let the legislature piss the Sanford bill, it gives tho far tiers all the protection they need, and thero is nothing harmful to any interest in it. If that bill becomes a law, it will be ill the power of a farmer who pur chases fertilize: s to find out whether or not he hash e i cheated. It is to be hoped that the Brady bill will never be brought for ward again. Jurors in the Cronin Case. The work of getting a jury in the Cronin case began several days ago, and it looks very much as if it would occupy the atte i tion of the court for a month. Oa the first day or two the court permitted a wide range of questions ii the cross-examination of the talesmen who were acceptable to the state, but he finally concluded that un less he limited the questions a jury would not be obtained by Ch i tmas. The defense objects to jurors who know anything about the case, and it particu larly objects to Germans. If it could have its way the jury would be composed of men who never rea 1 the newsnapers, and who never talk with their neighbors about sensational occurrences in their respective neighborhoods. It wants jurors who can not comprehend the testimony, and who can ho led easily into doubting tho guilt of the defendants, oven if tho evidence against them is overwhelming. The objection of the defense to Germans is that they have no scruples against capi tal punishment, and, as a general thing, are very anxious that the murderers of Dr. Cronin shall be haage 1. There is objecti in on the part of both tho state and thi de fense to Irishmen, because Irishmen are pretty well divided into Cronin and anti-Cro nin factions. The stat i doesn’t want those who are inclined to the belief that Croni a was a spy, aud therefore ought to have be in re moved, and the del’o :se objects to those who think the killi ig of Cronin was q horrible crime and that tho-e who committed it should suffer the full penalty of the law. There is not much doubt that the Cronin trial will be the reigning sensation in Chi cago for a month or more. The Chicago newspapers are printi g columns in connec tion with it, and they are expecting to print many more before the trial is ended. The chances are that unless the jury is an unusually intelligent oue thore will be a mistrial. The limiting of the number of questions which a tales nan may bo asked will have a good effect, and the work of getting a jury will move along now, doubt less, a little faster. The law with respect to jurors ought to be atnonded hi nearly all the states. As it now is it is almost impossible to get intelli ge it jurors. Most citizens read the news papers, and, hence, kuow a great deal about the sensational cases which may come before them. They are not,on that accou at, however, unfit for service in tho jury b ix. Unless they have made up their minds as to the guilt or innocence of the accused they are far preferable to those who are wholly ignorant. They can find a verdict iu acco dauce with the facts what ever their opinions were when summoued as jurors. Mrs. J. YV. Davies, of Pittston, Pa., re fuses to bo separated from her husband, even though by so doing she would receive an annuity of SSJO, aud she is quite right. An admiring public will noaiaud her devo tion to the man of her choice and ner faith fulness to her marriage vows. Mrs. Davis* father died rece tly, and by his will he pro vided that she was to receive annuiily the amount named, if she would leave her husband, whom he never likel. Mrs. Davies says that had the annuity been tea times SSOO she would not have accepted it upon such condition. Col. Robert G. Ingersoll has just had published a book in which he ridicules everything religious. It was Josh Billing —was it not?—who said that he would not give 10 cents to hear Ingersoll on the mis takes of Moses, but that he would give $lO to hear Moses on the mistakes of Ingersoll. S'me women are trying to make a ; heroine of Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton, j They are sending her all ki id-of presents, | and her mail is becoming quite largo. Mrs. , Hamilton thus far has accepted everything j sent her except a Bible. Sue said that for some yeais she has had no use for that book. The three northern republican congress men who were sent to stump the Third Lou isiana district are returning home with heavy hearts. CURRENT COMMENT. We Don’t Want Men of Tbelr Kind. From the Bouton Globe i Dem.) Criminals advance all sorts of queer reasom for tbeir crimes Hut me of the queerest is that of the New York consumptive who coolly appropriated a couple o. his employer s thous ands ‘to go south and die on,” He was too cool for Canada A Mutual Duty. From the Philadelphia Press (Rep.) We agree with Hon. David Dudley Field in the opinion tha’ stat- lezi-latures should not tie held in ridicule by the people. Mr. Field will probably agree with u-. on the other hand, that state legislatures should uot make themselves ridiculous. Why Not Home Rule in Georgia? From the Nexr Yarn Times (Ind.) Mr. Senator Colquitt cf Georgia is probably correct in his report that in his state the ap pointments by tne present administration have not been popular, and especially because in a number of cases residents of the state have been removed and replaced by men who were not residents. Money for Southern Schools. From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.) The New Orleans Times Democrat retorts very clever y upon George 'V. Cable and other equally critical and uninformed persons who berate the southern people for their failure to educate the negroes. It shows that the average Payment for school purposes iu proportion to property is greater ii the south than in the New- England or Middle states. The money for schools is nesrly all contributed by the whites, F >r example, Pennsylvania pays 32 cents on the 7Id 1 for school purposes, whilst the -oil!!t aver ages 50 cents per sluo- Virginia paying 46 cents per SIOO, Florida 53, Arkansas 60, West Virginia 61, Missouri 62, Mississippi 65. When the im poverishment of the southern people at the end of the war is considered, the fact that they have since contributed $37,300,000 for negro educa tion s'aou.d serve to blunt the edge of hostile criticism.

"Let ine alone, grandpa." called back little Lord Fauntler.y; “I’ve got her most shook." “Got her most shook? What do you mean? Anyway, you should say: ‘I have her al i.ost shaken.’ But why do you want to shake the poor beast?” "So that she will give a pail of milk shake, grandpa," cried the little lord as he bounded blithely after the flee.ng animal, while his golden curls streamed behind like materialized sunbeams. An Oarsman’s Fight tVjth a Crane From the Philadelphia Press. A desperate fight took place on the Schuyl kill river near the G rard avenue bridge yester day afternoon betweea a member of the lona Boat Club, who was out for aa evening pull, and a crane. About 5 o'clock, when the members of the different clubs began to go out on the river, a large bird was seen to drop into the water near the Girard avenue bridge. One of the members of the lona Boat Club started to capture the bird, but when within a boat’s length thec;aie showed fight. When near enough the oarsman reached for the bird, but it made au attack with its wings and bill, clipping the flesh from the young man’s ha ds and beating him about the head. The boatman tried to beat it down with the oar, but the crane would not give up, and fought desperately, tearing the oarsman's clothes and biting the flesh off his bands. The fight was watched with intense interest by many people who had gathered on the shore. Finally after a severe struggle the crane was captured and got luto the boat and bound. Ee Was a Gentleman Then.] Pram the A*"' Fork Star. Henry Clay once invaded Tennessee to make a speech. When be arrived at h s destination a tough looking specimen, evidently in the last srages of intoxication, -stepped from the throng, slapped the great orator oh the back, and said: "Howdy, Mr. Clay?” Tne great man shook his head and replied: “Be kind enough to turn your head that I may see your profile.” The man averted his fa e, while the flickering torchlights enabled the observer to study him closely for several seconds. "Twenty years ago.’’ said Mr. Clay, “you had not begun to grow that long bearii, and were smooth-faced—eh ?” "That’s right.” “You were not then a cyclops, but had two whole eyes—eh?” “That’s right, I reckon.” “Ah! Then you sat on a jury before which I plea led a case, and your name is . Am I uot right?” “I reckon you are,suah.” “Yes, yes; I remember you perfectly, and," continued Mr. Clay, “you had one other charac teristic which I now recall—you were then a gentleman.” She Overcame Her Awe at Last. From the Chicago Times. Harriet Beecher Stowe’sson, the Rov.*Charles E. Stowe of Hartford, Conn., mat w ith an ex perie ice the other evening which completely nonplused him. One evening quite recently he dined with Mrs. J. W. itool'dm m, proprie tress of the Hotel Woodruff. Visiting Mrs Boardman is a cute little niece about 5 years of age. She is a regular chatterbox, and makes many bright remarks during a day. Fearing lest the child would astonish the preacher by some outlandish saying, her aunt warned her to keep mum during the dinner. The admonition was listened to with awe, and at the table the little one scarcely dared look at Mr. Stowe, not wishing to commit a supposed sin. While the servant was absent from the room the little gin noticed there was no butter in her small pink dish. She didn't mind holding her tongue, but to eat bread without butter—that would never da She took a survey of the table, and lo and b - hold the butter dish tvas directly in front of the preacher. Wistfully she gazed at b ith for a few seconds. Nev rin her brief existence did she appear so pensive. Tneu gathering all her courag aud clearing her throat she said: “Dear pastor, won't you p-ease, for Christ’s sake, pass the butter?” The Rev. Mr. Stowe never received such a shock He leaned over in his chair to pick up his napkin, which, ot course, had not fallen. Mrs. Boardman must at that moment arrange a window curtain, and the otner guests were sud denly troubled with a friendly cough. Little Mabel, self-satisfied that she had done the proper caper, was the only otie at the table wno could positively prove i hat she was alive. Sailor Vernacular. From the Alta California. “Mr. Olsen,” said the captain, in a gentle manly tone of voice to the first mate, “wny in thunder don’t you get that line out, you long, lean, knock-kneed, tar-tainted wreck ■ f re turning reason? Don’t you see we’re swinging off?" "Aye, aye, sir,” Mr. Olsen replied, respect fully touching his cap to the skipper. Then Mr. Olsen leaned over the rail, and, rais ing his voice, he called the second mate's atten tion to a matter of great importance. “Mr. Peterson,” he yelled, “what’s eating you, you tow-headed, biock-eyed lubber! Do you want to choke the stream? Get a move on you, and be quick about it.” "Aye, aye, sir,” was Mr. Peterson's response to this delicate attention received from nis superior. He then gave the third mate some instructions. “Swan.-on,” he gently, but firmly remarked, “I’ll crack your blooming skull if you don’t hump yourself, you gaunt-eyed, bow-legged, stock-fish feeder! Bear a hand there. Lively, now, and get tbat line out!” "Aye, aye, sir,” said Swanson in a humble voice. Then Swanson gave the deck-hand who gets sl2 per month, a clout on the side of the head which knocked him down. Then he jumped on him wth both feet and shouted: "Why in don’t you pay out that stern line, you low-lived, white-livered, mule-eared, hog-backed, slab sided, bench-legged, feeble-minded, molli gruhuer! What are we paying you for?” And ho finished ou the poor man with a kick in the ribs. The deck-hand ran the line out and made the boat fast. Then he went down iu the hold where he anointed his person and clubbed him self with a handspike. Autumn Dreams. When the maple turns to crimson. And the sassafras to gold; When toe gentian's in the meadow And the aster on the wold: When the moon is lapped in vapor, And the night is frosty co!d; When the chestnut burrs are opened, And the acorns drop like hail, And the uroivsy air is startled With tile thumping of ihe flail— With the drumming of the partridge. And the whistle of the quail; Through the rustling woods I wander. Through th jewels of the year. From he yellow uplands calling, Seeking her wno still is dear; She is near me in the autumu, She, the beautiful, is near. Through the smoke of burning summer, When the weary wings are still, I can rei her in the valley, I can hear her on the bill. In the splendor of the woodlands, In the whisper of the nil. For the shores of earth and heaven Meet, and mingle n the blue; She can wander down the glory To the places that s e knew, Where the happy lovers wandered In tne days when life was true. So I thing when days are sweetest, And the world is wholly fair, She may sometimes steal upon me, Turougb tne dimness of the air. With the cross upon her bosom, And tbe amaranth in her hair. Once to her, ah! to meet her, And to hold her gently fast, Tib I blessed her, till she blessed me— That were ha piness at last. That were bliss beyond our meetings Iu the autumn of the past. —Bayard Taylor. FOR NERVOUS DEBILITY Use Eoraford's Acid Phosphate. Dr. A. M.

The report that a “two-ton man-eating shark” had been caught at Santa Cruz, Cal., leads an old fl-herraan to write to a San Fran cisco newspaper that the shark was not a man eater, but a basking or ground shark. The man-eater seldom weighs over 1,500 pounds; but the ground shark often weighs as much as fifteen tons, so the old fisherman says and sometimes its liver weighs two tons. They are the slowest fish that swim the seas. “No oue,” writes the fishermau, “need have any fear of them or anything else that carries a liver that weighs one-sixth of its body.” Among the modern “Mysteries of Paris,” says the London Figaro , is a shop devoted to the sale of tea at the retail counter.

So far there is no indication of it, though when we first com menced to use it in Pittsburg four or five years ago—that is, using it generally—there were many people who id not look for it to last more than six months or a year. Now that it has been in general,for several years and the supply keeps t ifctit up, there is not much ap prehension at hornq, but I meet ite ery where outside. The sci nee of natural gas is not fully understood yet, and,ndqne can .ell how long it will last.
