Gov. Hill s Critic,
It was to be expected that Gov. Hili’s
speech at Atlanta w uld not please the
rejublican newspapers. It was not in
tended to please them. Guy. Hill kept close
to the truth, and the truth, in political
matters, is not relished by them. The New
York Press says: “Gov. Hill told the peo
ple of Atlanta yesterday that the south was
solid for ‘good government,’ and solid for
‘American idem.’ The Press begs to differ.
There can be no good government in thik
country when the principles which underlie
its very foundation are subverted for par
tisan purposes. It cannot truthfully be
said that the south is solid for American
ideas so long as a majority of the repre
sentatives from the southern states in con
gress advocate and vote for an economic
idea which is exclusively British.”
The /Vess is not sincere. It is edited by
a native of Eog ar.d, who has succeeded in
getting one of the best ofli ■=>< in the gift of
the government. llow is it that this En
glishman pretends to be a better judge of
what are “American ideas” than the people
of the south, who are more nearly all
Americans than the jieople of any other
section? The editor of toe Press is net only
a foreigner, but he lives in a city whose
ponulation is largely made up of foreign rs,
and he is identified with a section of the
country which coutains nearly nil the Euro
pean immigrants. Does he think the ideas
of the foreign born population of the coun
try are the genuine “American ideas?” If
he does, then perhaps he is sincere in assert
ing that Gov. Hill is mistakm in asserting
that tbs south is solid for “American
ideas.’
The editor of the Press should visit the
south and mingle with her people. He
would get a 1 letter idea of Americans than
he has evor yet bnd, because the vast ma
jority of the men he would meet would be
Americans, and he would find out whit
“American ideas” are.
Wnat nonsense is it for him to assort that
in the south the principles which underlie
the foundation of the government of this
country “are subverted for partisan pur
poses.” Dies he not know that ties party
to which he belongs, and in which he is a
shining light, has been particularly active
in subverting the principles which underlie
the foundations of the government? If he
doesn’t, he hasu’t read the recent history of
this country aad that of the Republican
party to much advantage.
What has done more to undermine the
foundations of the republic than the cor
rupt methods employed by the Republican
party to carry elections? Has tho editor of
the Press forgotten the great fraud of 1876,
by which the Republican party stole the
presidency? Has he forgotten the “blocks
of five” letter which contained a scheme for
carrying a great state for the Republican
party by bribery? Has he forgotten
that in tho last national cam
paign a man raised an immenso sum
of money for party purposes, which was
put where it would do the most good, and
that that mau was given a place iu the
preseat administration as a reward, proba
bly, fir taat service? The editor of the
Preys has ideas, but they are not “Ameri
can ideas.” „Thy are ideas that are in
harmony with those of the party which has
conferred a profitable office upon him.
Tho economic idea of the south is ex
clusively British, is it? Well, it is the
economic idea that has had a mighty strong
hold upon this country for more than a
century, and it is the idea that is going to
prevail in the very near future, because It
is the idea that the people are recognizing
ns tho true one. The other economic idea,
the one fostered by the Republican party,
is the idea of the monopolists. If it had
not been for their money it would not have
lieen possible to keep it at the front so long.
The attempt of an Englishman to teach
such an American as David Bennett Hill
what American ideas are is amusing.
The Necessity for Good Drainage.
If our municipal authorities were to
read the newspapers closely they would
find many things that would con
vince them that they should lose
no time in providing this city with a
system of house drainage. Every once in
awhile an epidemic of typhoid or other
fever, which is directly traceable to bad
drainage, is announced in some part of the
country. In each instance investigation
shows that there was neglect with respect
to drainage, or entire indifference to sani
tary regulations.
There is at present an epidemic of fever
of some kind at West Albany, N. Y. The
disease is pronounced by some of the phy
sicians of the place to be typhoid fever, a nd
others of them say that if it is not that
fever it is very much like it. All of them
agree, however, that tho sickness is caused
by bad drainage.
About 1,200 men live in West Albany
with their families. They derive their
support from the railroad shops situated
there. Since the middle of August
per cent, of these men have been attacked
by fever, and 10 per cent, of those at
tacked have died.
There is no doubt iu the minds of those
who have investigated the West Albany
epidemic that if tho place had been kept in
good sanitary condition very few of these
men would have been afflicted with sickness
of any kind during the last two or. three
months, and that the number of
deaths would have been so small
as not to attract attention. In
order to have good health the things
that are absolutely necessary are goad water
and good drainage. Savannah has good
water and her surrouniliugs are well
drained, but she needs g ood house drainage.
It is true that her health record is remarka
bly good, aud has been for a number of
years, but that is no reason why she should
not havo a house-drainage system ihat
would remove all probability of sickness
resulting from had house-drainage.
The New York Herald has reports from
many c mutiu* of tuat state concerning the
probable result of the coming state election,
aud tho conclusion to be run hed from them
is that the democrats will elect their state
ticket, aud the republicans the legislature.
Iu some counties the democrats are reported
to be very indifferent. They are discour
aged on account of Mr. Clevelands defeat,
and they do 't admire Gov. Hill particu
larly. This is wrong. Political parties
must submit to def-at as well a rejoice in
victory, aud if they are turn 1 down once
in a while they should come up smiling for
the next contest.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1889.
Protect the Forests.
There is a steadily growing intereat in
the movemeLt which has been inaugurated
in a majority of the states to protect the
forest*. It is only recently that a system
atic effort has been made in this c untry to
guard the forests against unnecessary de
struction, and it is probable that there
would have been no effort of this kind
whatever had it not been thought necessary
for the purpose of checking the great floods
which devastate the valleys along the
water courses.
The eighth annual convention of the
American Forestry Congress met in Horti
cultural hall, Philadelphia, on Tuesday.
Sixteen states were represented, and a
great deal of interest is taken in its pro
ceedings.
On Wednesday quite a numfier of papers
were read bearing upon the subject of the
preservation of forests, all of which were
of considerable value. Judge Warren
Higley, of New York, read a paper on
“The Progress and Conditions of Forestry”
in that state. He pointed out, among other
things, that there are in the United States
450,000,000 acres covered with wood growth,
or 26 per cent.of the total land area. As much
as 25,000,000 acres are cut over annually,
and in 1880 more than 10,000,000 acres were
burned over. It is probable that the number
of acres destroyed by fire is now as great, if
not greater than it was nine years ago. The
destruction of forests therefore is going on
at the rate of .15,000,000 acres a year. A
great many acres of course again become
covered with forests, and the number of
acres cut and burnt over annually does not
therofore represent the actual reduction of
the forest area annually. The annual
reduction, however, is much greater thauit
should be.
Mr. Bernard E. Fernow, chief of the
Forestry division of the department of
agriculture at Washington, read a paper on
“Methods of Forestry Reform,” m which
he called attention to the pressing need for
a forest commissioner in each state, whose
duty should be to collect information upon
which legislation for the protection of for
es s might bo based. He said that tho gov
ernment ow ned 70,000,000 acres of wooded
land, and he thought that it 3bould set an
example to the states by having a definite
policy for the preservation of its forests.
It has no such policy, however, and it is
eaid that it even fails to co-operate with the
forest commissioners of the states in their
endeavor to protect the interests committed
to their care.
Mr. S. G. McLendon, of Thomaiville,
Ga., made some very interesting remarks
about the pine forests. He said that the
pine section was steadily growing smaller
Irom the ravages of the ax, and he asserted
that the total destruction of the pine trees
would bo “an incalculable disaster to the
human race.” He expressed the opinion
that they ware of more value to humanity
than any other, furnishing as they do tim
ber “for houses, ships and cars, turpentine
for medicine and paints, and rosin, creosote,
tar and other valuable products.” He be
lieved, he said, that the pine tree kept more
people alive than the plantain.
There is a gradual awakening all over
tho country in the question of the pres
ervation of the forests and extending the
urea of them. Tree planting is going on in
many of tho states, and arbor day is ob
served more generally each succeeding year.
Cardinal Gibbons believes in capital
punishment, and he also believes that there
are too many loopholes through which
guilty persons escape punishment for crime.
He has recently written a book, in which
the following occurs: “A crying evil is the
wide interval that so often interposes be
tween a criminal conviction and the execu
tion of the sentence, and the frequent defeat
of justice by the delay. Human life is in
deed sacred, but the laudable effort to guard
it has gone beyond bounds. Of late years
the difficulty to convict, in murder tria's
especially, has greatly increased from the
widened application of tho ideas in bar—
notably that of insanity. When a convic
tion has been reached innumerable delavs
generally stay the execution. The many
grounds of exception allowed to the counsel,
the appeals from one court to another, with
final application to the governor, and the
facility with which signatures for pardon
are obtained, have combined to throw
around culprits au extravagant protective
system, and gone far to rob jury trial of its
substance aud efficacy. A prompt execu
tion of the law’s sontence after a fair trial
is that which strikes terror into evil-doers
and satisfies the public conscience. The re
verse of this among us lias brought reproa ch
upon tho tdniinistration of justice, and
given plausible grounds for the application
of lynch law.”
In Canada the other day Auguste
Archambault come very near being buried
alive. A few weeks ago he was prostrated
with typhoid fever, and the other night he
began to sink rapidly. The next day all
signs of life disappeared, and the doctors
said that he was dead. He was prepared
for burial, but when dirt was being thrown
upon his coffin, he was heard to groan. The
coffin was raised and opened, and Archam
bault was found to be conscious. In telling
his experience, ho says that, like most men
who have come near being buried alive, he
was aware of the preparations for his
burial, and hence his agony was terrible.
This story seems to be authenticated, aud
it suggests that probably a great many
people are buried alive.
Gov. Algor’s opinions concerning several
matters of public interest were given by the
New York Mail and Express the other day.
It is said that Editor Shepard invited the
general to dine with him, aud that he had a
stenographer hiddrn behind the screen to
take down everything that was said in the
private conversation. Whether this is true
or not, Gen. Alger’s remarks were rather
interesting. He said that he was not a
presidential candidate for 1892, that he was
delighted with the Harrison administration,
that he approved of Corporal Tanner’s dis
missal, and that the grand army was not a
political machine. The general seem* to be
developing into a first-rate humorist.
The I‘resident should by all means refer
to tne postoffice department under his ad
ministration when he touches upon civil
service reform in his forthcoming message.
Nineteen presidential postmaster! were ap
pointed Oct. lfi, and thirteen of the new
appoint!** took the place* of democrats
against whom uo charges had been made.
This isn't civil service reform.
New York seems to have concluded that
she had Issthsr raise a guarantee fund iu

The Attempted Montana Steal.
Frrtm the New Orleans Times-Democrat (Dem.).
There is nothing novel in the means by which

old trick played so often of old in Louisiana
and other southern states. They have no re
turning tjoard in Montana, but county canvass
ers who serve the same purpose.
A Name That Enthuses.
From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
The name of Grover Cleveland is still a name
to conjure with among: the democrats of Penn
sylvania. When his letter was read yesterday
in the convention of the democratic societies in
this city, it evoked wildest enthusiasm. The
letter was a letter of regret, and there was
special In it to set men shouting; but
the name of Grover Cleveland was sufficient.
He grows, and his administration grows, in
popular favor by contrast with Harrison and
his administration.

I have been a molasses taster for several
yeare. said a Boston man to a Herald reporter,
ana I assure you mine is no easy job. There
is a strain that the occupation imposes and one
that many succumb to, and therefore quit the
business. The tongue being very sensitive, it
requires great care, and therefore I feel It best
not to use tobacco, sweetmeats or highly sea
soned food. Doctors tell me that sugar of
itself does not injure the teeth, but after re
maining on them for some time undergoes a
chemical change from the saliva and food, and
•“•J_*“ e chemical result is corrosive.
Whether this is so or not, 1 know that my
teeth have suffered from tbh business, although
I take extraordinary care. The difference in
between some grades of mo.asses is so
slight that the tongue must be in a perfectly
neutral condition to be an accurate guid *. But
not only must the tongue be cared for, but
mouth, lips and teeth must be as free as possi
ble from any foreign substance.
in tasting the various brands I place only a
drop on the most sensitive part of the tongue.
I try to keep it away from the lips, moutu and
tof-tn, but dr* Lot always succeed. Now, to dis
criminate between twenty-flve different samples
I must, keep* a clear head, concentrate my atten
tion and inaktj, as it w. re. an instantaneous
anal sis. To do this faithfully requires brain
work that book writers know nothing about

A Great Hand.
A quartet of well-known West Philadelphians
-namely Dr. S. R. Ski Hern, Col Alexander
Kussell, Joseph 11. Cofrodeand William S. Kim
La 1 -were gathered in tne cozy card-room of
t;ie present Hamilton dub, intent up>on a game
wt ’ Bavs tho Philadelphia Record. Dr.
Dkiiiern shuffled and proceeded to deal. The
last card in the pack, which he turned up for
trumps, was the knave of diamonds, and as the
doctor examined his hand he discovered to his
astonishment that it coutained every other card
or the suit—twelve diamonds—nothing more,
nothing less.
••Fell°w s , I never had such a hand in all my
life, the doctor chuckled after a momeut’s
pause. “\\ hat do you think of it? Every card's
a diamond."
"Great heavens!” cried out Mr. Cofrode,
why, mine are all clubs!”
“And I—l—l hold thirteen hearts!" ex
claimed Cl. Russell breathlessly, rubbing his
eyr sand pinching his nose to make sure that
he was awake.
And t-ien they all looked in Mr. Kimball s
direction. The whole suit of spades lay spread
out before him.
When the astonished players had somewhat
regained their composure, tuey put their heads
together and concluded that the law of chance
ha i sanctioned a most peculiar freak. They
called their friends in to view the wonderful
deal, then picked up the cards tenderiv, and
stoned an affidavit stating how the hand was
dealt, and denying tho operation of any ex
ternal agent iu the arrangement of the cards.
The pack Is now on exhibition in the club
rooms, where it is viewed by scores of half
iucredulous clubmen.
It is said that o dy two deals of like character
are on record as having been made m this
country—one in a Chicago club house and the
other on a Massachusetts railroad train-both
of them some years ago.
The Fat Woman Spoiled the Show.
From the New York Sun.
“Boys, let's go in here!”
The remark was made by four swells who
were "doing” the town. Each mail wore fash
ionable clothing and a high hat. They nad
stopped before a dime museum. V.'lo-n the
party entered tbey found an interested crowd
standing before the living curios and listening
to the eloquent lecturer. When the lib-uiruuod
historian bad made tho rounds of the attractions
and had arrived before the Abyssinian fire
eater. he was surprised to see toe crowd surge
to the other ena of the room, where sat the
Oreassian girl. Beside this bushy-haired beauty
stood the most gorgeous of the quartette of
swells. Placing his glossy hat on the platrorm
at his feet, and holding his yellow kids in his
left hand, he bowed as gracefully ns his condi
tion would permit, and thus addressed his
deeply interested audience:
“Ladies and gentlemen, you now see before
you the beautiful Circassian girl from the east
rn slopes of itussia. Although fihe is a genuine
Circassian, as you can see by t:ie remarkable
luxuriance of her hair, yet lam force,l to con -
fess that she was born on the banks cf the
Housatonic river, in Connecticut.”
Here the amateur lecturer was interrupted by
his professional confrere, who was dancing
around in the outskirts of the crowd in uncon
t Tollable rage. The crowd appreciated the joke
so highly that it refused to part and let the paid
lecturer through.
“Go on, nobby; tell us where she bought her
hair!” shouted a Bowery boy.
The swell steadied himself by placing his right
hand on the back of the Circassian girl’s chair,
and was about to resume his lecture, when the
NOO-pound fat woman waddled over behind him,
uud with a vigorous shove sent him head tirst
into the crowd. He was picked up iu a rather
wrecked condition and lugged down-stairs by
his friends.
The Nutting.
From Harper's Young People.
Chestnuts are ripe—
Are ripe, and now from the prickly burr
The brown nuts fall.
And bound
To the ground
With a twinkling sound
Where the woodland folk ar > camped around
At the epil of the pasture wall.
With tongues that chatter and wings that
whirr.
Birds in feather and beasts in fur—
Squirrel and jay
And chipmuntv gay—
They scrape and scamper and scold and play
While the little white worm in the midst of the
storm
Grows fat on his diet and laughs at them all.
Chestnuts are ripe—
Are ripe, and now when berries are few
The brown nuts fall,
And here,
With a cueer.
From far aud near,
In the spars ling sun t ,e boys appear
At the end of the pasture wall.
Bitten with brambles, washed in dew.
Ruddy and brown, a barefoot crew. ’
Each with his sack
Like a peddler’s pack.
They climb and shake and cudgel and thwack •
But the little white worm in the midst of the
storm
Feasts on the kernel and laughs at them all.
