Editor Wilder, of the New Haven
Palladium , has been collecting religious
statistics about Connecticut editors. Fifty
seven per cent, of them are church mem
bers, and nearly all are church-goers. From
this he concludes that the Nutmeg state
editors are god-fearing men, who have done
a good deal for morality and Christianity.
It is not known how many Georgia editors
are church members, but it is safe to say
that they have done as much, if not more,
than their Connecticut brethren to suppress
the “devil.”
If ministers are not more accurate in their
statement, or better informed about public
affairs than was .the Rev. Dr. DaCosta, of
New York, in his jeremiad on the needs of
reform in the government of that city,
pulpit politics will be unpopular for more
than one reason. He said that New York
needs anew charter that will give the
mayor “almost absolute power over his ap
pointees,” intimating that the mayor is at
the mercy of the aldermen in that respect,
when, in fact, the Roosevelt amendments
to the charter give the mayor sole power in
the selection of the heads of departments.
It will not be long before the Standard
Oil Company, to use a popular expression
of the day, owns the earth in Pennsylvania.
One of tbe last and most powerful of the
independent oil producers, T. M. Phillips,
of New Castle, has just succumbed to the
“persuasive” influence of the giant monop
oly, to which he sold bis business for $1,000,-
000. This is the most extensive deal ever
made by the Standard with a single person.
By the transaction the Standard gains 125
producing wells, with a daily output of 1,300
barrels, and 7,423 acres of oil territory. Mr.
Quay and the Standard Oil Company divide
tbe honor of owning the state politically
and otherwise.
A gentleman from Atlanta says that there
is no doubt that there will be a mistake in
the census of that city, but that tbe people
are doing all they can to prevent it. He
said that the enumerators go to the public
schools and count all the children who sav
they have not 1 een counted. That is quite
an effective way of increasing the popula
tion of a city. Children, as a rule, don’t
know whether they have been included in
the enumeration at home or not, and when
they are asked about it in the school-room
are apt to say they have not been. By
counting the school children at home and
at school, Atlanta may be able to add seven
or eight thousand to her population.
Henderson arid Nesbitt s Canvass.
Judge Henderson, commissioner of agr.
j culture, who is understood to l* a candi
date for the ncmmaUcn for commissioner
again, and Mr. R. T. Nesbitt, who want* to
step into the comm;.-s;,'tier's sh.os, have
been carrying on a lively canvass for a
month or two by means of cards in the
newspapers. They have been shiv assisted
by Maj. A. E. Woolley and Mr. T. J. Lyon,
the former lending a helping hand to
Judge Henderson and the Utter to Mr.
Nesbitt. The cards and communication;*
which these gentlemen have had printed
bavo been quite lengthy, and sufficiently
numerous to befog the public mind and to
put it m a condition of such uncertainty as
to what the ;sssue6 between the candidates
are as to justify the question whether they
themselves know just what they hope to
gain by the charges and denials in which
they indulge with such extravagance.
It is hardly probable that Judge Hender
son has done anything contrary to law. If
he has the proper authorities have been
neglectful of their duty in not calling him
to account. It is a very easy matter to de
termine whether the law permitted him to
raise the salaries of the fertilizer inspectors
or not, or whether he has done any other
thing that is contrary to law and good
morals. If he has been as “straight as a
string' as the saying is, in the management
of his office, no advantage of him can be
gained by charges that cannot be promptly
and fully sustained.
What the fanners would like to know
are things like these: Is Judge Henderson
just as capable a man as can be obtained
for the office of commissioner of agricul
ture? Is be a progressive man—a man who
keeps abreast of the times, so far as agri
culture is concerned? Does he make any
suggestions which are valuable to the far
mers, and does he introduce any improve
ments into his methods of gathering informa
tion about the crops? Are his crop reports
reliable and valuable, and do they show that
he is deeply interested in his work ? These
and similar questions would interest tbe
people, and if Mr. Nesbitt can answer them
his cards will be read with more interest
than those which have appeared already.
And Mr. Nesbitt might tell the people
how he would run the office of agricultural
commissioner should he be so fortunate as
to be elevated to that position, and also
what his qualifications for it are. He may
have some views as to how the office could be
made much more useful to the people than
it is at present. If ho bas be ought to lose
no time in giving them to the public.
Perhaps Judge Henderson might help the
people to make a choice between himself
and Mr. Nesbitt by asking the latter some
pointed questions as to what changes in the
methods of conducting the office of commis
sioner of agriculture ho would introduce in
order to make the office the source of
greater benefits to the farmers. The com
missioner of agriculture ought to
be aDle to help the farmers
a great deal. Indeed, there
are hundreds of ways in which he can be of
assistance to them, provided he is well
equipped and has the inclination for doing
so. The time ought to be past when l man
can be elected to office because he has what
is called a “political pull.” Men ought to
be elevated to official positions on their
merits alone—especially to such a position
as commissioner of agriculture.
Quay’s Convention.
The republicans of Pennsylvania will
meet in state convention to-day at Harris
burg. It is admitted by the Pennsylvania
organs of tbe party that Senator Quay will
control the convention. It is cot known
yet, however, whether he will insist upon
the nomination of his man Delamater
for governor. There is a good deal
of opposition to Delamater, particularly
among the Philadelphia and Pittsburg
delegations. In fact, it is said that the
majority of each of those delegations have
openly announced that they will not sup
port him. However, Quay has enough
delegates without them to dictate the
gubernatorial nomination.
He may think it advisable to give Dela
mater the cold shoulder and permit Gen.
Hastings or Mr. Stone to be nominated.
Hastings is much more popular than Dela
mater, and has a better record. If the
democrats should nominate ex-Gov.
Pattison the republican nomiuee
would not have a walk over. Indeed, it is
thought that Delamater could not be elected
if Pattison should be his opponent. That
is why Quay does not come out flat-footed
and say that Delamater must be
nominated. He knows that the
republicans woufll not support him with
much enthusiasm, and that many would
not vote for him. This is not a year in
which the republicans of Pennsylvania can
afford to have a weak gubernatorial candi
date. Quay, therefore, much against his
will, may have to give up Delamater. As
great a political boss as he Is, he cannot in
sure a majority for an unpopular candi
date.
Mr. Bellamy ought to feel flattered.
Twelve young ladies of Indianapolis, em
ployed in stores and offices, have rented a
suite of twelve rooms and are giving his
plan of living a practical test. Each pays
into the treasury $3 per week, and a cook is
employed to prepare meals. In addition,
each is assessed 25 cents for a contingent
fund, which is held to meet unusual ex
penses. The young ladies room in couples,
and each week two of them are appointed
purveyors. The only time they are ail
together is at supper. Would such a system
bring contentment and happiness if gener
ally adopted? Decidedly not. There is too
much restriction of social freedom and in
tercourse, and too much system about it,
which is more like discipline than social re
form.
William W. Meriam, of Sag Harbor, N.
Y., who, while in the flesh, was rather,
eccentric and somewhat of a wag, left a
a will providing that his estate, amounting
to nearly SIOO,OOO, should go to the
United States government, to be
used in reducing the public debt,
on condition that the people elect
Mr. James G. Blaine President, otherwise
the estate is to be divided among his legiti
mate heirs. As Mr. Blaine seems to be in
no notion to die yet, and as the American
people are likely to forfeit all claim to con
sideration in the matter, the heirs will, no
doubt, think that there is such a thing as
carrying a joke too far.
That is a sensible view the Rev. Thomas
Dixon, of New York, takes of tbe mission
of the Sunday newspaper. He thinks that
the newspaper fills the place which the pul
pit in our day is incapable of filling. This
is an incontrovertible truth. The news
papers preach to all the people—people
which the pulpit does not reach, and they
exercise over the masses generally a inoral
and healthful influence.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1890
The Belt Line Petition-
There dof* not appear to be any good
reason why the city council should refuse
to grant the petition of the Belt Line street
raiiroed to use electric motors, and there
are many reasons why it should be granted.
All tbe other large cities in tbe state permit
the use of these motors, and wbv should
not Savannah? The other cities see the
necessity there is for them. The same ne
cessity exists here as elsewhere.
Rapid transit is needed for the develop
ment of a city. People living long dis
tances from the business part of a town
must have quick and cheap transportation.
XV .-.rkingmen particularly cannot afford to
spend much time in going to and from their
work. Their homes, as a rule, are in the
outskirts or the suburbs, where houses are
cheaper and rents lower. The cities which
have rapid and cheap transit build up
quickly because the building lots far away
from their centers are available for dwell
ings.
Electricity is a cheap motive power. A
city of the size of this could not support a
line of street cars run by steam or cable.
If, therefore, Savannah is to have rapid
transit it must consent to the introduction
of the electric motor.
It may be said that Savannah can get
along for awhile longer with horse power
on her street railroads. Perhaps she can,
but why get along with that kind of power
when there is a better kind at hand? Why
lag behind other cities of the state? If tbe
electric motor is to be introduced at all why
not permit It to be introduced at once, and
reap immediately the benefits which, it is
believed, will flow from it?
The Belt Line bas helped wonderfully to
develop the southern part of the city.
When transit was furnished to that section
the price of real estate there advanced
at once and the building of dwelling
houses began. Give that section rapid
transit and its development during the last
year or two will be insignificant in com
parison with what it will be within the
next few years.
The original owners of the Belt Line had
hut one object in view in selling their prop
erty, and that was that rapid transit might
be introduced. They were not in a position
to introduce the electric motor, and they
knew that those to whom they sold their
property were. By the sale also $200,000
was released which will be invested in other
enterprises.
In considering the Beit Line petition the
council should look only to the best inter
ests of the city. It should not be influenced
in the least by the interests or wishes of
those who have schemes of their own, or by
jealousies or rivalries It should grant the
petition of the Belt Line, and of any other
street car line seeking a like privilege. The
more rapid transit lines Savannah has the
greater will be her growth and prosperity.
Snubbed, But Not Crushed.
The wife of the Shah of Persia, who is in
Berlin, is not coming to this country be
cause there is no one here, she is reported to
have said, of sufficiently high rank to
receive her. Her royal husband, when on
his travels, also failed to pay us a visit for
the same reason, it is said. If this
be true we have another reason
to be grateful to the fathers of the repub
lic. If they had founded a monarchy in
stead of a democracy we might to-day be
compelled to receive with honors such bar
barians, appoint personages to show them
the country, fit up palaces for their
residences, and spend money lav
ishly for their entertainment. An
oriental potentate, or his wife, with a
mania for travel, is the bete noir of Euro
pean sovereigns, and here Mrs. Shah would
be out of place, anyway, among a people
who have no respect for the divinity that
doth hedge a throne. Her sensitive feelings
might be offended.
At home she receives the worship of her
minions; the noblest of them dare not ap
proach her erect In this country she would
not receive that homage, and the irreverent
funny man would probably crack jokes
about her sacred majesty. Reporters
would not bow the knee in de
manding interviews, people would impiously
shake the royal hand In welcoming the
distinguished visitor,prodigous efforts would
be made to get a glimpse of her veiled face,
the American girl would hesitate to wel
come the ladies of the harem, and alto
gether it is probable that a visit to this
land of freedom would bring nothing but
gall and bitterness to Mrs. Shah and her
retinue.
There is great losson for men ambitious
to rise in the world in the life of Dr. S. S.
Laws, of Kansas City, a man who figured
prominently in the confederacy. He disap
peared suddenly from his home a few days
ago and it was thought he had committed
suicide, but it now turns out that he has
secluded himself from the haunts of men
which recalled too plainly his sad
misfortune. He was at one time
a successful mechanic, scholar, ed
ucator, inventor, and, until recently,
president of the Universttv of Missouri.
The defect of his character was that which
marred the lives of many successful men.
His success brought with it a tense of self
reliance which amounted to srrogance and
intolerance of others’ opinions. This habit
of mind grew upon him and resulted in his
deposition of the presidency of the uni
versity. He closed in Kansas City, in finan
cial ruin, one of the most remarkable
careers of this land of strange things.
If the mayor wants to retain the good
will of the people residing on Reynolds
square, he will see to it that the square in
future is not used as a base ball ground.
Those who reside on the square say that a
small army of young men and boys gather
there frequently and make life for them
almost unbearable by their noise and in
decent language. The squares are not the
places in which to play base ball. If the
city feels called upon to furnish a base ball
ground, let it select some place where no
body will be disturbed or annoyed. Either
Hutchinson’s Island or Springfield planta
tion would be a good place. Reynolds
square certainly should not be used as a
base ball ground. A word from the mayor
to the police would put a stop to the
nuisance of which complaint is made.
The death of George Washington McCrary
at Kansas City, Mo., removes another of
the principal actors in the great political
contest of 1876, As the author of the bill in
congress which created the electoral com
mission, he voted to sustain the position of
the republicans in the Florida rase. In
return for his services in helping to make
Hayes President he was rewarded by the
latter with the portfolio of Secretary of
War, and subsequently was given a life
position on the circuit bench, but resigned
to become an attorney for a railroad. Like
Hayes, he retired to private life, and was
seldom heard of afterward.

wo years ago Thomas Roe of Slim Timber,
in Tippecanoe county, Indiana, was found dead
at the foot of a wvpd pomp, with bis remains
naif eaten by hosts. The supposition was that
ne had fallen while suffering from epilepsy.
Recently there are developments indicating
that he was murdered, and the authorities are
investigating.
1-.AST Thursday William Mapes, a farmer near

A seal recently caught in the river Parker by
two fishermen of Newburyport, Mass., was a
afterward returned to the river,
but it refused to be left behind and followed
the man back to the wharf, crying to betaken
into the boat. Finding it impossible to force
the seal to leave them, they made a little house

it has gone into the water to get food, return
ing at night to be locked up in its new quarters."
It is remarkable the perfection to which the
postal system has been brought. Not even a
cent is overlooked. Col. Riley of Cincinnati
handed the reporter a check for “onecent,"
drawn by Third Assistant Postmaster General
tiazen. It was as formal as if it represented a
million dollars. It was in favor of E. S. Twine
postmaster at Chester Cross Roads, Geauga’
county. Twing was settling his accounts with
the government, and a balance of 1 cent was
found in his favor.
One of the quaintest and most picturesque
churches or chapels in America Is built upon a
rock in Greenwood Lake. In the southeastern
end of the lake stands a rock in the water about
a rod from the shore. This rock is two acres in
area and it rises sheer from the water to a
ni/ht of fifteen feet, as if cut by a chisel. The
top of the rock is covered with a thin layer of
soil a few shrubs, and some small trees. A foot
bridge connects the rock with the main land.
On one corner of the rock is perched the church
alluded to. Its belfry tower can be seen from a
distance of two miles down the lake, and the
chimes of the tinkling bell can be heard by the
bass fishermen as they cast the deceotive pork
rind to catch the wary fish. Church and fishing
go on together.
At a dinner party the other day by a leading
Philadelphian, an old gentleman with a good
memory toid this story: In the year 1857 two
events occurred—the death and burial
of Elisha K. Kano and the opening, of a small
clothing store by young John Wanamaker
During the month of May the great explorer
died wmle away from home, and his remains
were brought to Philadelphia for interment.
An admiring public determined upon a magni
ficent aud imposing funeral, and to this end
many organizations and local societies were in
vited to participate. The head of thi proces
sion was to reach a certain square at 3 o'clock.
An immense throng stood expectant at this
hour, and eagerly waited the approach of the
solemn cortege. A few minutes before the
hearse was expected there was heard a furious
clattering of hoofs and wheels, and a gaily
painted express wagon drawn by two berib
boned horses dashed along the vacant line of
march, and there fluttered from the wagon and
sifted through the crowd a deluge of handbills
“Go to Wanamaker for cheap pants,” "Gents’
underwear at half price," “Cut rates in
hosiery, ’ were among the seductive invitations
■which were eagerly received by the crowd, and
the young man who had so successfully evaded
police regulations, driving his horses with one
hand and distributing his advertisements with
the other, was none other than John Wana
maker himself.

There is a young son of an English lord at the
Richelieu who would have no trouble in driving
the Germans from Africa, could solve the Irish
problem, and would not be over half an hour in
adjusting the American fisheries I roubles. At
least that is what he claims, according to the
Cbicaeo Tribune.
“What is America?” he asked last evening.
“Nothing:”
He always answers his own questions.
“The United States will all be owned by a
chain of English syndicates,” he wenton. “The
British own your breweries, flour mills, manu
facturing establishments, railroads, business
blocks, and nearly everything else. In a short
while ibey will own your government.”
“Enterprising people, the English,'remarked
CoL W. A. Thompson. “They will own the
commerce of the world before long. "
“You are right,” exclaimed the future lord,
who was delighted to find one friend in the little
audience.
"Do you know,” continued Col. Thompson,
“that an English syndicate has just concluded
a deal with the government of Peru, by which
in.ooo young dogs are to be shipped to London
These dogs of Peru are small, hairless beasts
and are valuable, although it took Englishmen
to see a big profit in such a venture. The first
shipment will be started in a few weeks, and
the entire 10,000 will be in London before
autumn.”
“English syndicates are so busy,” interrupted
the young foreigner; “that one can't keep track
of ail their doings. I hadn't heard of that dog
scheme. Pray what is it for?”
"So that Peruvian bark will be cheaper next
winter,” answered Col. Thompson.
The Englishman walked away wearing a dif
ferent expression on each side of the face.
Blessed Be the Almsgiver.
“Mister, will yer give me a little money? My
folks is awful poor, and we don't git much ter
eat these times.”
The speaker was a little girl, says the Kearney
Enterprise , and her piteous appeal went
straight to the heart of the Central avenue fruit
dealer into whose store the little maid bad en
tered.
“Yes, here's something for you,” was the re
ply, and as a suspicious moisture gathered in
his eyes he handed the child a great big, gener
ous five-cent piece.
The child's heart was touched, and a joyous
smile lighted up her face as she gazed upon the
potent niekel. “Thank yer, sir; than* yer, sir,”
came from her lips, and then she started toward
the door.
The store dealer was congratulating himself
that he had done a noble deed, when all of a
sudden he turned to behold the child again
walking down the store. Laying the piece of
money unon the counter she said; “Gimme a
nickel’s worth of ’lasses taffy, and gimme a lot,
too."
The storekeeper was paralyzed, but he quietly
filled the order, and then charged it up to profit
and loss.
An Hour of Trial.
His arm was round my shoulder laid,
He pressed my head against his breast;
I sighed, but not a word was said—
I felt his heart beat through his vest.
The winds of May blew sweet without.
I thought of bairns at home so fair;
And good man, too. wond'ring, no doubt
(The hour grew late) I was not there.
His fingers warm upon my cheek.
Still toward his eyes compelled my face.
I only felt—l could not speak.
Fast fettered in that close embrace.
Pain-racked, sore tried. I fain would flee.
His voice my futile struggle stilled;
“Madam, a little patience See’”
I rise, I smile. My front tooth's filled.
