Slugger Kilrain has not announced his determination to enter politics. It js under stood that Kilrain is trying to reform. The next step in the direction of reform in some of tha northern states should be u bill prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to women. President ila risou’s health is reported to be “not robust,” ad he is said to be “care worn and j i led.” It seems that the spoils men are getting in their little work. The Ohio State Journal says: “No genu ine republican an.s a victory over the other party that is not won by honest votes.” Respectfully referred to President Harrison, who was elected by purchased votes. Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton s aiokos cigar ettes and reads “Ouida's” novels while in jail. No doubt she smoked cigarettes and road “Ouida’s" novels long before sho whs taken to tail, and perhaps that is one reason why she was taken there. Ex-Secretary Bayard has been talking about tue tariff. Hesavsth itt e democrats will go before the country in 1833 on a tariff reform platform. Mr. Bayard Is right, ad in the meantime the tariff reform idea will spread. Tariff reform is what th> people need, and they are finding out that it is. Some of the republican newspapers are fond of referring to “Mr. Cleveland’s fre quent bids for a senominatlon in 1592,” but they neglect to point out when, where and bow these alleged bids were made. The fact is that Mr. Cleveland has made no such bids. It doesn’t s;oin necessiry for him to do so. Tho New York Tribune remarks that the expression, “alleged soutneru o.itragjs,’’ used by the Morning News, is “good— very good." Yet tuere is something that is “belter." It is to see a northern repuu lican newsDaper advising the southern people wliat to do with regard to the race problem in the south. The New York Press asks: “What is tariff reform, anyhow i" Here we have the spectacle of a republican newspaper vir tually admitting that it doesn’t know what tariff reform i . The admission was not necessary, however, for the Press has fre quently made the erroneous statement that tariff ref irm was free tra in. Gov. Hill is visiting tho agricultural fairs iu the New York towns, and in his speeciies he eschews politics aud divotei his atten tion to agricultural matters und the world’s fair of 189". It ia; long been observed that politicians wou and have made gcod farmers if tiiey had not entered politics— that is, good theoretical farmers. The site in Now York selected for tho world’s fair of 189" is three times as large as that for the Farrs exposition. It can hardly bs expected, however, t at the fair will be tnree times as great us that at Paris. The French people understand into national ex positions, but at the same time the eute.- prrsing Americans will give them a point or two. Mr. J. Ellery Anderson, of New York, iu speaking of Mr. Cl?vela id’s recent remarks ab >ut the platforms and candidates of deai ocracic conventions, says; “Mr. Cleveland has the knack of saving the right thing at th? right lime.” lhat is what tne repub lican members of the United dta.es Senate thought in secret when upon one or two occasions Mr. Cleveland lul l them low. Judge Albion AV. Tourgoe doesn’t under stand the race problem in tne soutu, but tie understands tne pension business as it is cocduc ed under tue Harrison administra tion. He says: “Whoever shall succosd Mr. Tanner as commissioner will have oue thing in his fav r, to wit: Tho administra tion and the party will be much more lib eral on the subject of pensions than tiiey would otherwise have been.” 'lam er has o) ened wide the gates to fraudulent p.q.- eiun claimants, and his policy will have to be continued by bis success r. No doubt that is why the President Hilda it so bold to get a tel -respecting person to a cepi the place. Repeal the Bad Laws. It is sal i that the wisest legislation that has been done in the pas seventy-five years was the rapeaiiug of bad laws. It would ba well for the members of the Georgia leg islature to legislate in that direction. Deni 1- gogues have fille l the statute books of the state with unwise laws. Ia their pretended efforts to protect the people, they have en acted laws which a© injurious to their interes’s. In endeavoring to legislate against monopolies, they have in reality strengthened them. The law requiring in surance companies to make a deposit before they can do business ia the state has given to certain 00m; aii-s a monop )ly, aid the result is that every insurer pays an extra tax for insurance, tile most of which is taken out of tho state. Itspeal this law, and let everv insurance company which wisbos t J do business in tho stat i do so. Another law for which the fanner pays a heavy tax annually is that requiri ig the inspection of fertilizers. The farmor pays 50 cent* a ton. It is possible that he thiuks tho fertilizer manufacturers pay it. but they do not; thoy simply advauee the money and let the farmer foot the bill. It this inspection worth what it costs the farmer* of Georgia? Repeal this law and let buyers of guano do a 1 they do with other purchases—trade with men whom thoy can trust. Tue legislature is now engaged iu trying to pass a law to allow counties to tax rail roids. This is anothor movement to pro tect monopolies. Let such a law be passed, and there will not be many more railroads built ju Georgia, and tho present big cor porations will have everything their own way. The host service the legislature of Georgia could do the peoplo would be to devote nearly the entire session to repealing bad laws. Tho entire membership might ba di vided into Bub-committees, ami the la os apportioned among them for revision or repeal. It would baa valuable school to mauy of the members, for they would learn something about the laws of their state. The people would be astonished at the amount of legal rubbish such sub-committees would present for repeal. It would be a legislature that would be as famous as the Rump parlia ment. Before attempting this wholesale job, however, the legislature might try its hand at repealing tho Insurance Companies De posit Law and the Tax on Fertilizers. Many thousands of dollars would be saved an nually to the poople by the repeal of those indirect taxes, which do the people harm by taking money out of their pockets and puttiug none in tho stato treasury. The Falliarant Ordinance. There will be found in another column a very sensible communication from Aldor mati Falligant in regard to tho purposes of the ordinance introduced by him to repeal certain sections of the ordinance in relation to privy vaults and sower connections. It is worthy of tho careful consideration of city council and peoplo. Every house owner in this city, who has had to make sewer connections with existing sewers, knows that it is not only expensive, but to a great degree useless. In some instances a half doz-n private sewer pipes arc laid in one street or lane, nnd it one of them gets choked up, or out of order, there is a great risk that in repairing it the other sewers or drain age pipes will bo displaced and made use less. D;aths have beon caused iu families where the owners of the property have used tho utmost care to have good sewer age, but where their efforts have been abortive becauso of the damage done when other sewers have been put down or re paired. Of this damaee they know nothing until the sickness or death of sciue loved one prompted an invest gation. It will bo some yonrs liefore a perfect sys tem of sanitary drainage will be inaugu rated in this city, if such is ever inaugu rated, and in tho meanwhile why cannot a system be begun by putting in large drain pipes in those sections of tho city where such work can bo done and where tho drain pipes can he made a part of a gen eral system that may be hereafter estab lished! It appears ns if practical common sense applied to tho subject would onable tho board of aldermen to devise a plan by which thousands of dollars could ba saved to tho peoplo and the health of tho city pro tected. The Jenkins of tho Associated Press, speaking of how the President spent last Sunday at Doer Park, said: “There was no church service, and he spent the morning taking a last walk with Benjamin McKee.” Now, who in thunder is Benjamin McKee! Tho American public has never heard of him bef to— never. AVhen the Jenkimes of the pro* inform us that the President has takau a walk with Benjamin McKee, they should also tell us something ab >ut Benjamin McKee, and they shouldn’t neglect to stato what office he is after. Does he want to be pension commissioner? We insist upon knowing ail about Benjamin McKee. Ah! we remember now—he is tho youngster about whom so many idiotic things have been said because ho was tne President’s grandson. It has been sta’od frequently that Gen. Taylor did not lika Mr. Jefferson Davis, a .and that he tried to persuade his daughter not to marry him. According to Maj. John F. Edwards, of Atlanta, he did try to persuade his daughter not to marry him, because he did not want her to marry anyone. He did not dislike Mr. Davis. Mr. Edwards witnessed the marriage. He says: “The wedding came of quietly at my grandmother’s house, with the consent anil good wishes of all the relatives of the young people. The witnesses besides myself were Col. Hancock Taylor, Gen. Taylor’s brother. Cap;. Allison, his brother-in-law, and my brother and grandmother.” The cigarmakers’ convention, in session in New York, considered the following the other day: “Whereas, the practice of cigarette smoking seriously affects tho growth of the trade we represent, we are of opinion that it has served to demoralize and injure the youth of our country, un dermining their health, imparing their mental facultie , aud rendering them unfit for any useful purpose. Therefore be it Hesolrcd, That wo recommomi th.> passage of a law by tho various state legislatures which shall prevent the iiianuf cturo or sale of cigarettes.” There is a much better roisoii than the one given above why tho cigarette habit is inj :rious to health. A special from Richmond says: “Gen. Mahone has infused his personal enthusiasm into the canvass.” T his is not ail tua he has done. He has stirred up everv demo cra.ic voter iu iho state, and he has alien ated a good many republicans, and the e wiil kuow him underat the electiou. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESD AY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1889. Patriotic Pension Grabbers. It looks very much as if the Q. A. R. has taken charge of the aff tirs of the country and proposes to run it hereafter—that is, if tie 61,000,000 people outside of that organization will permit it to do so. Originally the G. A. R. was organized ostensibly for patriotic purposes, namely; to keep alive atsociations formed duri g the civil war. It has, however, driftei rapidly fur away from thit safe aneboraga and is now in the opon sea of politics. It is the po.ver behind tho Republican partv throne—“greater than the throne itself.” and it prop ses to let tho leaders of that grand old p trty not forget it. Its patriotism Las taken a very practical form, having for its object the reduction of the surplus by puttiug it into the pockets of every man who had his name • on a federal muster roll. Tanner, the lata commis sioner of pensions, is a true representative of the majority of the G. A. R. It will never have a o'hor who will understand better than he the present purposes of the organization, aud who will have the nerve to carry them out. Tanner is out of office, but liis spirit is still wandering up and down the corridors of the department of the interior, aud whoever takes his place will be obliged to carry out bis plans. Nothin? leas will satisfy the grand army mon and the pension agents. The confederate soldiers who fought for their homes ami lost everything can afford to smile at these patriots who fought for tho union and won a pension. Tho southern people have their own opinion about a certain class of federal soldiers, but as hands have been shaken across the bio dy chasm, and they are not much interested in the surplus, thoy propose to keep that opinion to themselves, a :d let the pension grabbers and the Dorthera people do the qu irreling. Why Not the City? The question of lighting the city is now before the poople. A well lighted city is ono of the luxuries of modern city life, but it has b on quite a cos’ly luxury to Savan nah, especially during the past fivo years. No one c in be blamed because of its cost iu the past, however, for there is no question that the electric light com pany and former city authorities made a fair contract, under the circumstances. Electric lighting, ho.vevor, is no longe • an experiment or a mystery. E voryb >dy knows electricity is a practicable illuminat ' :) S agent. The people have paid for wuat they have learned, aid now li the tiin > for thorn to profit .y experience and to put up an olectric light plant f>r city lig itiug, aud also for store an l hous) lighting, if tho lat ter is deemed advisable. Tle city has its own water work-, and it makes money by it, the profit going to the reduction of the general tax. The same method can be pur sued iu regard to the electric lighting. Let the city authorities put in an electric light ing plant, and then if there is any money to be made by furnishing light, the people will get it. Electric lighting aid water works are ban lied by one and the same private corporation in several cities. Whv cannot tho municipality of Savannah have the same arrangement? Sunday Crimes. Tho shooting of Gathers last Sunday morning was tho indirect result of the sell ing of whisky on Sunday. It is a reflec tion upon every alderman of the city, as well as upon the mayor, that such a stato of affairs exists. The good government of the city is in their hands, and the respectable citizens of Sayan ah expect each one of them to use his influence to preserve the po ice of the city. They should see to it that the police do their duty by arresting offenders against the laws of the city and srate. If the seller* < f liquor on Sunday were made to understand that the laws are to be rigidly enforced, it would require but few arrests to stop the Sunday traffic. It is a shame that the keepers of grog-shops should be aliowod to violate tho laws with impunity, and thus to encourage crime. Sunday drunkenness is on tne increase in the city, and with the largo population of waits and black loafers, it is liable at any time to result in trouble. Thero has not been a serious disturbance in this city except on such days when tha people were idle, and when tho grog-shops wore open in violatioa of the law. The solicitor general, who is not beholden to local politic il influence for his office, bus an excellent opportunity to bring some of these offenders to justice. Mr. nnd Mrs. Samuel Garner, of Anna polis, are on their bridal t iur, and they are about as happy a couple as could bo found. Twelve years ago they became engaged, lut the bride, then Miss Emily Owens, broke off the engagement when she learned that he was an iufldel. He went to the west, and boarded with tho family of preacher. All efforts on tha part of the preacher failed to convert him to the ebris tain religion, but finally he borrowed two books noon religious subjects, read them carefully, and abandoned infidelity. Then he thought about tho young lady, who, twelve years before, had refused to marry him because he was an infidel. Ho found out t at she was still un narried;he hastened to her home; he went through with the courtshipagaiu, and tho other day he mar ried her. Quite romantic, isn’t it? Representative Reilly is trying to get the legislature to recognize the volunteer sol diery of Ge 'rgia in a substantial manner. The bill which he has introduced to that end, and which tho appropriation commit tee has reported favorably, provides for an appropriation of s'Jo,ooo to fu -nishthe ad jutant general’s office, to establish the office of assistant adjutant general, to pro vide for a yearly encampment of the militia, to furnish supplies, ammuuition, etc., to volunteer empanies, and to provide for target practice. It is an in jis ice to tho volunteer soldiers of the state that legis latures have done nothing for them in this direction. The National Democrat, the now demo cratic weekly published in Washington, ought to meet with phenomenal suocesi, It has the Indorsement of Mr. Clsvelan ' Mr. Carlisle and others of the most promi nent and influential democrats in the coun try, and it has no superior, probably no equal, as a party newspaper. Tho editorial articles winch it prints from the non of Mr. Edrnu and Hudon, tUo editor and proprietor, aro models of force, logic and style. The republican press of New York is in iking soj.e sneering remarks because a southern newspaper said that Tov. Hill was 1 a statesman. There are a good many peo plo who think that Gov. Hill is a states man, but nobody, except the republican litre (.papers whore ed.tors were bought w.tu government appointments, has ever eceufid Hrjmisnt HarrUm *1 haitiz can. CURRENT COMMENT.

How “Pop” Won the Hand of His Neighbor the Widow. From the Sew York Tribune. Lady Lake, Fla., Sept. 18.—Down in this un known nook c laracters may be met who would delight those appreciative of the fresh End distinctive in human nature. Here in the deepest recisses of “the piuey woods" are ’’crackers’’ who have never penetrated t*n mites from tho smoky cabins in whicn they were born, and whose domestic life has been bound dby the live, .ak logs, clay wails and paimetta thatch of their cabins. Here t iey nave lived since t ie tun.-, bac in the thirties, when Oxee 1 1 and his hemiuoies were captured by tue regulars or driven to toe ’gators, ino> casins and mias nal swamps of the Lverglades. ludoTu ce, ignorance, shif.lessii ss, courage and pride are their more prominent qualities. Some miles back from till* lake is a fer.ile tract of "nigh hummock” land on wnicn stands a particularly heavy aid luxuuant grp ath of pine, magnolia and I.ve oak. In it are several clearings wuic 1 were made some fur or tiv.- deesdes since, by the first "crackers” who came to this section, at the time of th ir arrival a w;IJ anl virgin country, which foot <of white man may not have trodden since Ponce de I, *. 11 ranged the peni suia in his quest tor the faoled fountain of youth. Three of the clearings are clustered closely together, on * owned by the Widow L’gare (1 renounced Legr ei, one by "pop” Bonners and the third bv "Uncle Billy ’ Toomas. Uncle Billy has contrived to pass sixty-three years iu single blessedness, but and mug tue lust eight years he has found engro sing charms in the society of the widow. Oa the otner hand “Pop” has had three wives, the last in the sequence having died a month ago. tis in ord-r to state that “fop” is a man of individ uality, not given to inaction and vain repining when he has suffered a loss. Misfortune lias a bracing effect on ni.u uud stimulates him to repair his losses. Consequently I was not sur prised at the turn a conversation took which I held with him a fortnight after the death of his ihird wife. Replying to some expressions of sympathy on my part, the old man raid: “Yes, Yank. Tve dune lost er good house keeper. So my cabin his in mighty pore wavs. So of Co’s.- I've done biu reckonin’ for ernurther wife. 1 haint settled on none yit, as I’vo done bin right tollerble busy.” t or a in uiient I was speechless. Then, acting on a mischievous impulse, I suggested: “Have you thought of tue Widow Legnre?

Max O’Rell tells the following in liis “Jacques Bonhomme:" I remember once—it was at She. Ma o, in the summer -I entered a hatter’s shop at 1 o clock in the afternoon. A well-dressed, ladylike girl came out of the back parlor and inquired w hat I wauted. “1 want a straw hat, mademoiselle.” I said. “Oh, that’s very awkward just now!" “Is it?” “'Veil, you see.” she said, “my brother is at dinner,;” and after a pause of a feiv seconds she added; " Would you mind calling again in an hour’s time?” “Not at ail,” I replied; “I shall be delighted to do so.” I was not only amused, but struck with admi ration for the independence of that worthy hatter. After a few years’ residence ill Eng land a little scene of that description was a great treat. An hour later I called again. The vouug girl made her secoud appearance. “My brother waited for you quite ten min utes," she said to me; “he has gone to the cafe with a friend now.” “I am soory for that,” I said; “when can I see him?" "If you step across to the cafe I am sure he will be happy to come back and attend to you.” I thauked the young lady, went to the cafe, and introd ced myselt to the hatter, who was enjoying a cup of coffee and havin j a game of dominoes with a friend. He as red m? to allow him to finish the game, which, of course, 1 was only too glad to do, aud we returned to the shop together, and after my sever.il hours’ watting was enabled to mare the purchase of a straw hat. Surely, in this case there was no chance of haste making wasio. A Boarding-House Incident. From the A>w York World. There was chicken for dinner at a Harlem boarding-house, and instead of being satisfied to take any of it that was offered there was a general request all around the board for “white meat.” Several boarders sent back their plates to have their piece of dark meat exchanged for white. The landlady was herself master of ceremonies in the kitchen that day. she stood this racket as long as possible, and then burst nto the dining room Use a cycion • fresh aud furious from the west. Glaring at the boarders, she exclaimed: "See here, you loafers, what do you mean by all sending out for white meat? Do you imagine a chicken is made of white meat? Couldn’t eat. a piece of the dark meat, I suppose? Oh. no; you have been eating nothing but white meat all your lives, anl that’s the reason you are all white-livered, I reckon.” She seemed to s .ell up as her awful indigna tion grew upon her, and moving closer to the table she swayed above it like u giant oak in a storm. This time she fairly screamed: “Confound your impudent careasess, I'll have you know that I am not so particular about color. Take the color of your money, for in stance. I’d like to see some of it. and I'd take it most mighty darn quick, be it red, white, blue or speckled. Now, I’m goiu’ to send that chicken hack here, and any of you dudes that don't like the dark moat can take it out to a kalsom ner an l get it whitewashed.” “Gentlemen.'' said one of the boarders, when the lady had retired to the kitchen, "we have trodden o.i the tail of a tempest. For one I prefer and irk meat on my plate to having it dis tributed around under my eyes.” And the rest of the boarders, did, too. Liston to Your Wife. From the Boston .Globe.

The largest brook trout ever caught on th s continent was landed recently at Spring Creek, N. \\ The fish weighed six pounds and two ounces, and its proportions were perfect. This was one of the species of brown trout, the spawn of which was imported from Germany on Feb. 18. 1884, so that its age cannot have been more than between 5 and B years.

Paris went wild this afternoon, says a Satur day cable to the New York Sun, on the report that Gea, Boulanger had seer) tly left London aud taken up his quarters in Jersey, in order to be nearer his beloved France while still on Ihs safe soil of England during tho critical period ot the general election. Boulanger, however, is still in Londqn, for I saw him this evening’ at the Savoy hotel, where he was dining serenely with Sir .Morel! Mackenzie, Col. Ciarke, and a lew other friends. He has been much over worked of late, owing to the enormous amount of correspondence and other business, open and occult, connected with tiie elections, but he said he felt very weli indeed, and lie certainly enjoyed his dinner. One of the very interesting things seen at the Paris exposition are the dwarf trees which the Japanese horticulturists are showing, and which are attracting much attention. Pines thujes and cedars, said to be 100 or 150 years old, are only IS inches high, and with such specimens it w ould bo easy to have a coniferous forest on a balcony. Tnese arboreal deformi ties are produced by great labor, and if the i ruth is told about their ages, this work of ar resting the tre ’s development and forcing it into contorted forms must Ire persisted in by several generations of foresters. All tois pains taking is hardlv paid for by trie beauty of the resulting abortions, but a look at these trees will explain where the fantastic ft rms coine tr in which serve as models for the plants we see on the lacquered trays, bronzes and em broideries which come from Japan.
