THE TRADE REVIEW.
For years, on the opening of each suc
ceeding season, there has been presented
evidence of a large increase in Savannah’s
business. Heretofore this increase has been
due to the natural growth of Savannah’s
tributary territory, a better understanding
of her commercial advantages, and the
gradual enlargement of her two great rail
road systems. These things will contfhue to
contribute to her growth and prosperity,
and, iD addition to them, there are others,
which have recently come into existence,
that will make the business year of 1893-91
more notable than any preceding one in her
history.
Binee the last trade review of the Morn
ing News there have been built three new
and important railroads to Savannah, or to
connect with her railroad systems. They
are the Alabama Midland, the Savannah
and Western, and the Savannah, Ainerious
and Montgomery. Those railroads have
already brought hundreds of buyers to
Savannah and increased her trade greatly.
But the number of buyers and the amount
of trade which these new railroads will
contribute to her markets when the crops
now in the fields tributary to them are
harvested will be many times larger. The
people will have money then and they will
seek Savannah to supply their wants.
The advanced condition of the cotton crop
Justifies the opinion that the business season
will open early and with great activity.
The people are already thinking, probably,
of what they will buy with the fruits of
their labor. They are scanning the columns
of the Morning News to see who are the
live and progressive business men of Savan
nah and what they are offering fqr sale.
There is a large and lucrative trade to bo
secured from the territory which the uew
railroads have made tributary to Savan
nah, as well as from the territory which has
heretofore been tributary to her. If our
merchants are wise they will not neglect the
only proper method of getting this trade.
That method is liberal advertising.
The Morning News proposes to make a
special effort to reach every buyer in the
new field that has been opened by Savan
nah’s enterprise. The agents of the Mor?: -
ING News are traveling through the coun
try, and the people are taking the paper
just as rapidly as the mail facilities which
are beiDg established permit them to.
It is proposed to send a copy of the trade
review to each subscriber to the Weekly
News, as well as to each subscriber to the
daily, thus giving advertisers the benefit of
both editions at a little more than the usual
price of one.
An advertisement in a newspaper is an in
vitation to buyers to call. It virtually says,
“■When you are in town please call on us.
We have all these things to show you.”
The annual review will contain the usual
resume of the business of the city for the
last year. It will be sent to thousands of
people who are interested in Savannah’s
welfare and prosperity.
The Trade Review edition will be issued
Bept. 5. Space in its columns can be ob
tained upon application to the busiuess
office.
Felton is in the race in the Seventh con
gressional district. Now let Rome howl.
It seems that “me, too,” Platt, of New
York, could havo gone to Spain as minister
from this country. Doubtless New Ycrkors
wish he had gone there at the beginning of
this administration, because in that event
New York might have had the world’s fair.
It is expected that the first volume of the
life of Jefferson Davis, the work which is
leing prepared by Mrs. Davis, will be pub
lished about Oct. I. There are already 45,-
000 subscribers for the work.
The announcement that the day for the
marriage of Miss Winnie Davis has been
fixed is a mistake. The day* has not yet
been determined on, and may not be for
sometime yet.
Speaker Heed's Election Methods.
Speaker Heed is not certain of being re
e’ected, and he is on bis way home to ses if
hs cannot arouse greater enthusiasm in his
behalf among the republican voters of his
district. A great deal of dissatisfaction has
been created among the best element of the
republicans of his district by what is known
a* the Biddeford case.
It seems that for years the Bid ief rd
municipal court his been issuing na'uraliza
tton papers. Nobody doubted until recently
that it had a right to do so. The officials of
the court are republicans, and have been for
a long time. Most of those to whom the
e u t has issued naturalization pajiers,
however, are not republicans. There are
514 of them, and, as a rule, they and their
grown up sons vote the democratic ticket.
Tre story is that when it hecims apparent
that the democrats were making a very vig.
orrus campaign against Mr. Heed, and that
his election was in some doubt, it was sug
gested that it would be a shrewd move to
have the question, whether ths 514 persons
who had been naturalized in the Biddeforl
municipal court were legally naturalized or
not, tested. It is not stated that this sug
gestion originated with Mr. Reed, but it
would not be surprising, in the light of sub-
sequent events, if it did.
A test case was made and the supreme
court of Maine, composed of republicans
and n >t averse, it is alieged, to doing a little
partisan work,decided that the Biddeford
mu licipal court had no authority to issue
naturalizitio.i papers, and that, therefore,
the 514 persons who had received liaturali
z ition papers from it were not legal voters.
Mr. Reed's district is such a close one that
the silencing of a few hundred democratic
votes might enable him to carry the district,
and the democratic leaders of the district,
therefore, at once took steps to have the
defect in the titles to citizenship of the 514
persons in question cured. They had a bill
introduced into the House last Thursday
for that purpose.
It would not taka up ten minutes of the
time of the House to pass the bill. All that
is necessary is for the speaker to give some
one a chance to call it up. Representative
Cummings and Representative Hays lioth
tried on Monday to call it up, but Speaker
Reed, although knowing their purpose,
refused to recognize either of them.
The speaker went away to look after his
fences in his district, without permitting
justice to be done to the 514 persons of his
district who believed for yeirs that they
were citizens, and have voted at many
elections. And yet this same Speaker Reed
is never tired of alleging that democrats in
the south carry elections by trickery, fraud
and violence. He is the real author of the
force bill, and It was mainly through his
efforts that the bill passed the House. Prob
ably, if he thinks ho can be elected even if
tho 514 democrats should vote, he will per
mit the passage of tho bill to cure the defect
in their naturalization papers, but will he
permit justice to be done them if he tninks
their votes would prevent his election?
Time alone can tell.
Raise More Cotton.
Although ths acreage of cotton fields
is increasing annually, and everv year the
yield is greater and greater, the supply is
still short of the demand. United States
Consul Gunell at Bradford, England, makes
reference to this in a recent report to the
state department at Washington. Speak
ing of the American product, he says:
“During the past six or seven years the in
crease of production of cotton has not kept
pace with the increasing capacity of the
world’s spindles to absorb it.” This season’s
yield will probably exceed that of any
previous year, and, as the fanners well
know, it will not be a drug
on the market. They could get rid of more
than they will have, and at fair prices. All
this argues in favor of tho growth and
progress of cotton raising. One of the best
arguments in favor of an investment in a
cotton plantation is that cotton is as good as
money. The farmer does not have to hunt
for a market for it like he does for other
products. There is always a market for
cotton.
Georgia offers peculiar advantages in soil,
climate and transportation facilities to cot
ton planters. Good land is cheap and
plentiful, and there never will be a better
opportunity to buy it than now.
It is not to be understood, of course, that
that the Morning News advises farmers
to devoteall their attention to cotton. The
most successful farmers are those who cul
tivate diversified crops—that is produce
their own ford supplies. What is meaut is
that there are vast areas of good cotton
growing land that are not now cultivated at
all. Farmers of ths west would act wisely
if they should seek the south and open
farms instead of cultivating corn in tjie
west at 20 cents a bushel.
The Philadelphia Press says that Con-*
gressman Smyser ought to have known
enough to keep off the committee that is
entrusted with investigating the charges
against Commissioner Raum, in view of the
fact that he is interested with Raum in the
patent refrigerator, which is indirectly in
volved in the investigation. It see ns, how
ever, that he didn’t know enough to keen
off the committee, or. if he did, he accepted
a place on it with the view of assisting his
friend Raum out of a lad scrape. From
this it would appear that he is either an
ignoramus or a corrupt man. If he is one
or the other his constituents ought to per
mit him to stay at home after his present
term. Unfortunately, republican constitu
encies haven’t a very high moral standard.
The republican leaders in congress are
busy figuring on the question whe.her the
extravagance of their purty will produce a
deficit or not. Senator Allison seems to
think that even if sugar is admitted free
there will still be a surplus of over $13,000,-
000. Senator Allison, however, wasn’t
noted iu his school days for his proficiency
iu arithmetic.
The republican organs are now saying
that Mr. Blaine’s reciprocity idea is only an
enlarged edition of the high protective
policy of the Republican party. Senator
Dolph, however, thinks that it is a crevasse
that will continually let in a free trade flood
that will sweep away the protection w ill
eventually. Is Mr. Dolph right, or the
organs?

Train Bobberiee.
The train robber is becoming bolder.
Every few days a train is robbed on some
one of the western or southwestern rail
roads. In our dispatches yesterday there
was au account of the robbery of the express
car on the cannon bell train of the Louis
ville and Nashville railroad. The crime was
committed in Alabama, and the robber es
caped. Tee train robbers nearly all escape.
They lay their plans very skillfully, and
generally have control of the train before
the conductor, engineer and train hands
know what is going on.
It is sometimes sundered why the express
mes eogfr, the conductor and the train
men don’t n ake a brave resistance. Un
armed men taken unawares don’t feel like
showing fight when confronted by fully
armed and masked men who are believed to
be ready to take human life on a very
slight pretext. Once in a while an express
mo-senger shows fight, and then if he doesn't
get killed he gets badly hurt.
It ii evident that systematic means must
be adopted to prevent trains from being
robbed. The railroad companies don’t go
to the expense of carrying a number of
armed men io their trains for the purpose
of fighting train robberr, for the reason,
perhaps, that they seldom lose anything.
The express companies and travelers are
the ones wbo are robbed, and the railroad
companies don't guarantee them against
less.
Is it the state’s duty to guard railroad
trains? It will hardly be admitted that it
is. If it were it would be a very burden
some oDe. The express companies anl
travelers must protect themselves. It is a
rather severe reflection upon the country
that a man who travels upon western or
southwestern railroads runs the risk of
being robbed.
Asa general thing, however, it is only
the express car that receivos the attention
of the robbers. In that car are carried
large sums of money aud many v luable
articles. It is much less risky to break into
the express car and carry off its valuables
than it is to rob the occupauts of passenger
coaches.
It is rather curious that train robbers are
seldom or never caught. They succeed won
derfully well in hiding their identity and in
disposing of their booty without being de
tected. The parties which are organized
with such a flourish of trumpets to starch
for them sometimes strike their trails, but
they fail nearly always to come up with
them.
But the chief matter of interest is whether
anything is going to be done to put au eid
to train robbing. If there isn’t it will soo.i
become unsafe to travel upon some of the
leading railroads of the country.
Congressman Belden lives in a county in
New York in which teasels are grown, and,
although they have been on the free list
from time immemorial, he has had a duty
of 80 per cent, put on them in the McKinley
bill. They are used in cloth mills, and af
ford the best known method of raising the
nap. They are largely imported from
France and Germ.ny. Is there not some
other congressman that lives in a county
which produces something that can be
helped by a tariff tax? The infant indus
tries seem to be popular just now. Let them
osme to the front and they will stand a
pretty good chance of getting all they ask
for.
The nows from Buenos Avres that the
country is still in a state of excite
ment sustains the doubts felt in
regard to the optimist information
regularly sent abroad by the pro
visional government of Pellegrini. The
latter is trying to remain in power with the
assistance of the military and by the sup
pression of the press. Toe repeated at
tempts of Pellegrini to issue now foreign
loans, or now cedulas or mortgage bonds,
shows that he perseveres in his former pol
icy, which proved so disastrous. His rule
will be shortlived, from present indications.
Women may refuse to answer questions
some times, and “because” may be a suffi
cient reply in some instances, but there are
cases when they must come up to the rack
like men. For instance, when they are told
by a special county justice of New York to
answer a question, they must do so. For
refusing, Mrs. Tourgee, wife of the ex
judge and novelist, Albion W. Tourgee,
was sent to prison the other day and kept
there, alongside of a murderer, until she
got ready to talk.
A most extraordinary sort of missionary
work is soon to be undertaken by Dr. Pente
cost of Connecticut. He goes to India in
October to convert aristocrats. There are
some 5,000 people in India who were ed
ucated in England and who will not accept
Christianity, because they say that they
would have to commune with their breth
ren of a lower social grade. They call
themselves the “high class Hindus.” It is
this class of people that the missionary
wants to reach.
CoL Everett will, of course, be nominated
for congress in the Seventh district by the
democratic convention which meets at
Calhoun, if he encounters the candidate
of the Jeffersonian democracy on the stump
he will have to stand a good rnauy bard
blows. Doctor Felton strikes from the
shoulder, and strikes hard.
When Maud S. broke the record of the
famous trotter, Rarus, several years ago, it
was not believed that her record would be
lowered in many years. This celebiated
mare kept her record intact a long time,but
it was broken Monday. Roy Wilkes, of
Independence, la., was the horse to beat the
world record. His time was 2:083^.
It is estimated that 80 per cent, of the
members of the next legislature will be
alliancemen. If they put the Democratic
party before the alliance there will be no
occasion to fiud fault with them.
The republicans are 1 sing their grio in
Vermont. In the election of state officers,
Tuesday, their majorities were smaller than
ever before in biennial elections, aud the
democratic increase was greater.
The republican state committee of New
York did a good thing in recommending a
democratic officer for re-election, but it
made a mistake when it hurrahed for the
force bill.

Hers is a story told by that amiable clergy
man Fat ier McCarthy of Boston, and I only
wish you could bar him tall it In his own in
imitable way, says a writer in the Lewiston,
M 5. i Journal.
Amon g the father's panshoners was a certain
M.ke Donohue. He was a good-natured fellow
enough, but o unpunctual in his church duties
that Father McCarthy was sorely grieved about
him.
One fine Sunday morning he saw Mike on the
otner side of Washington street. Mike ha l no
ticed him fast enough, but became immediately
so busy with contemplating the roofs of the
houses that be failed to see the good priest
entirely.
But Father McCarthy did not intend to let the
sinful man escape him. He bailed him aa l
beckoned him to cirae over. Mike l -oked
a-ound. crosse! cheerfully and exclaimed in a
delighted and innocect voice:
“Och, sore, it’s the good praite himself. The
’op av the marnin to ye, Fcther McCarthy: It
does my oye, good to roe ye !"
But the father was in uo mood for Mice's
blarney. He looked ot hiua severely and said:
' Mike, Ia n grieved to see that you neglect
all holy duties in a shameful manner. Why is
it that I never see you at church? Where were
you yesterday?"
"Yisterday, yer riverince? Yisterday Oi did
the cest wurrk av my life, an' proud Oi am to
tell ye avir' Oi was -aving soul- for Jasus!"
And he regarded the priest with a proud look
ot happiness.
"Saving souls for Jesus?" said Father Mc-
Carthy. How was that, Mike?”
"Maybe ye know Jim Molony. father; the red
headed shtone mason, who never goes to church,
und who don't belave nataer in God nor the
divvil?"
"Ji n Ma'.ony, that wicked agnostic," said
Father McCarthy, "that sinful man? Why do
you associate with a low. irreligious scoffer line
that. Mike?”
"True for you, y*er rivirince, but wait till Oi

The Battle on the Sands.
From, the Few York Sun.
The other day one of the waiters at our hotel
made snm ■ sudden move in the serving room
which brought his elbow against the ivories of
another waiter, an i the face of the moon at
once covered with blood. Some of us noticed
then-b lligerent demeanor, and now and then
we caught such expressions as:
”Yo’ ar’ no gem'lan, sahl"
‘‘An’ yo’ is ooiy a nigger!"
"I sco’n yo’, sah—sco’n yo" fur low trash!"
“Hu! I’d like to he shet up in a room wid yo’
'bout two minutes!"
We were not. therefore, greatly surprised
when we were waited on by a tniri party, who
was a mutual friend, who asked us to arrange a
meeting between the bostiles and see the affair
through, according to ship-shape rules. It
wasn’t to be a duel, but a set-to, with gloves,
and as we were tired of fishing, crabbing, sail
ing and shooting porpoises, we ha led the new
“Yo’ white folks dun knows all ’bout it, an’
yo’ go right ahead an’ fix it up," said the
mutual friend.
We borrowed gloves, bought rope enough for
a ring, ma 1e stakes, and the site selected was
inthe sand behind the scrub. The tip was given,
and when the hour came about seventv-five’
spectators had assembled. Tae rivals were on
hand in good time, but it was noticeable that
both were trying hard to look pale, and there
was a movement of the chin which betrayed
much mental anxiety. They were known only
as "Jim" and "Tom,” and wnile we were put
ting the gloves on Jim he arose and called across
the sands:
“Does you ’pologize to me, sah?"
"I dun ’pologize if you ’pologize, too," was
the reply.
"Den I dun "
But we stopped him and braced him up. and
two or three minutes later they forced each
other in the cemreof the ring. Each man’s
teeth were chattering, each one'e eyes were all
white, and there was a wobbling of the knees.
"Look out now, yo’ nigger! Ize gwine to bust
yo head off!”
"Look out yo’self! If I hits yo' in de lung yo’
won't git over it in two weeks!”
"Why dona’ yo’ hit?”
“Why doan’ yo’ hit?"
“Yo’s skeert o’ me!"
“So’s you’ skeert!"
They were walking around each other, push
ing at arm’s length, and it would have stopped
there but for the timekeeper, who shouted to
them to go in.
“If I hit yo' in de eye look out!”
‘lf I hit dat nose you’ll be dead!”
“I’ze earnin' fur yo' purty quick’"
“I’ll be right around dar r ”
The referee shouted again, and, moved to sud
den resolution, Jim flung off the gloves and
grabbed Tom by the ankles and lifted him off
his feet and dumped him on the sand. Tom’s
gloves fell off as he rolled over, and he had
scarcely struck when Jim made a break through
the ring, running like a rabbit. Tom scrambled
up with a "Hu!" and broke through the other
side, and while one legged it for the hotel the
other sought safety l euind the sand dunes, and
the great match for blood ended in water As
I had acted as Jim’s bottle holder, I felt called
upon to reproach him that evening at tne
kitchen door, and he came out into thß moon
light and explained:
“ ’Deed, sah. but I didn't dun mean to do it.
I meant to Utah’ right updaran' fight dat nig
ger one million rounds 'cordin’ to Miss Quee's
berrv- rules, but wnen I got de gloves ou my
sand went right away, sah—went right off
down de coast a flyin’. an’ afore I knowed it I
was b<vpk heah in de hotel a wipin' spoons an’
a-saymg dat if I eber caught dat nigger out in
de dark 1 and smash him, sah—l’d smash him till
his own mudder wouldn’t dun remember his
sad remains."

“I remember a negro in the southern states,
some years ago," said the old soldier to a Pitts
burg Dispatch reporter, as he rested his war
worn frame in a chair, “who was very adapt

and when tired supning himself on a log in the
laneway. he was oceu tomed to retire softly to
the shade and doze. He lad a class of twenty
or so little boy-s. to whom he used to give Bible
lessons, generally on Sunday afternoon. It was
bis practice to give out ou one Sunday the
lessons to bo prepared for the next. The old
fellow was a little Iliad and a good bn dea..
and this fact induced the young fellows to nut
a ioge on him. In the old boy’s absence they
dued two pages of ihe Bible together, and on
the following Sunday sat expectant of how their
little game would work. The old tutor put on
his specs, and giving a sympathetic glance at
his class, ne opened the Bible at the passage
about Noahs Ark, and began to read. He
spelled out the lesson to the eud of the page—
and Noah took with him into the ark one of

their children into the collar of their house,
barred the door, accused her of unfaithfulness,
and declared that she must die for her crime.
Then he made them all kueeldowu and pray for
the forgiveness of her sin, and after that
repeat the prayer for the dying. This done he
hound her to a wooden bench, and with an old
cavalry sabre he hacked her head off. Then
with great coolness he drew a revolver from his
pocket and blew out his brains. The screams of
the childreu attracted the attention of the
neighbors, who broke open the door and fouu I
the little ones bespattered with their mother s
blood, and the eldest girl lying in a dead faint

The “harmless, necessary” household feline
has been blamed for many things, particularly
in the way of crockery breakages, but never
before have w e heard her blamed for infecting
the cnildren with diphtheria. But it is so Gats

which Prof. Klein, of the Royal Society of Lon
don, ays is nothing n.o e or iess than a diphtheric
ailment, and can readily be communicated to a
human being. Wnen kitty is ailing It is the first
impulse of a child to fondle him, and in doing so
the child is pretty sure to inhale the breath of
the cat. Dr. Klein says that in every case where
he experimented in incculating cats with the
diphtheric bacillus it produced the pulmonary
trouble referred to; and where children have
nursed a cat with this pulmonary trouble they
have sickened afterward with well marxed diph
theria. A jealous eye upon the family cat and
upon the milk supply would, according to Dr
Klein, prevent many a death now considered
due to an inscrutable Providence.
