Morsino News Bureau, 34$ Whitehall street MACON- , „ Daily Telegraph Office. 597 Mulberry street There is not as muoh talk about the ad* journment of the legislature among the members of that body as there was a ,few weeks ago. It begins to look as if they were preparing to stay in Atlanta until Christ mas. The fi tends of Mr. Fassett, the collector of New York, are praising his grit and inde pendence. They say that although he has been in office only two weeks he baa snubbed Russell Harrison, seized Fred Vanderbilt’s yaoht and sold Mrs. Astor’s dresses, which were held for duty. A bold young man U Mr. Fassett. Mr. H. C. Brown,editor of the Southern Alliance Farmer, does not appear to have the most profound respect for the Rev. Bamuel Small. In the last issue of his paper he refers to the Rev. Mr. Small as “the most notorious religious and political acrobat of the country." Such a reference is likely to be regarded by the Rev. Mr. Small as unkind. Parson Crabtree, who expounds the gos pel in a little ohurcb at Marshall, Ky., is a bad man to tackle. On last Sunday several rough characters attempted to interrupt the services in his church. He had a re volver under the cover of his open Bible on the pulpit, and he stopped preaching peace and inaugurated a war upon the unruly roughs. The parson’s meetings will bo re spected in future. Col. Livingston doesn’t like to have it said that he did not favor the bill which provided for the acceptance of the confed ate soldiers’ heme property. Asa matter of fact he offered a resolution in the alli ance convention, favoring acceptance of it, but it is not a matter of much consequence now, so far as the bill is concerned, what bis position with regard to it was. Alliance men considered his judgment in the matter unsound. Cupid has done Mr. John W. Turner, of Minneapolis, an ugly turn. Mr. Turner had a sweetheart whose name is Ella Terwillin ger, and a very sweet sweetheart she was. Mr. Turner was so “sweet on her" that he Intended to marry her, but Cupid induced her to flirt with another fellow, and Mr. Turner lost his temper and straightway hired a lawyer to bring a damage suit against the fair Ella, placing bis damages at $5,000. It is evident Cupid played considerable havoc with Mr. Turner’s affections. The report has been started that Civil Ser vice Commissioner Roosevelt has resigned. The vigorous report that he made recently on the condition of the civil service in Bal timore is pretty satisfactory evidence that he is not yet tired of his job. He believes that there is need of vigorous reform in the civil service, and he will continue on the line he is at present working as long os the administration will permit him to do so. .The republican leaders do not appreciate him as he deserves. Indeed, it is probable they would like to have him invited to step down and out. The enemies of Mr. Cleveland attempted to make a point against him by asserting that in the recent election in Kentucky the democratic camjidate for governor reoeivod as many votes as Mr. Cleveland did when the latter ran for President, notwithstand ing the total vote cast was’ smaller and a third party was in the field. The Courier journal. however, shows that this attack on Mr. Cleveland is unfair. It says that Mr. Cleveland received 53.31 per cent, of the vote cast, while the democratic candidate for governor in the late election received only 50 per cent, of the vote cast. Truth is mighty and will prevail. The editor of the Southern Alliance Farmer was very favorably impressed by Savannah during bis recent visit with the members of the legislature. In an article review ing the visit he says: “Indeed, Sa vannah is a grand port, and Georgia is proud of her. Deep water at Savannah and great railways centering there will give us a direct trade with the world which no other conditions can bring about. The people of the sooth, west and northwest are alike interested in this matter, and should bring to beer upon congress every p visible influence which can be used to secure deep water for this, our greatest southeastern port." There ia no doubt that alliancemen of this state, and of all the states which are interested in having deeper water In the Savannah harbor, will use their utmost in fluence in promoting the Savannah harbor improvement. Savannah’s Business for 1890-91. The review of the trade and commerce of Savannah, which appears ia this issue of the Morning News, must be extremely gratifying to the people of this city. It shows that Savannah's business is growing with remarkable rapidity. The value of her business for the season of lv-d-ilO was $133,500,00}, and for the season of 1330-91 was $153,553,090, aa increase of almost $30,090,000. There can be no better evi dence than this of her growth in material wealth. And the last season was not without its drawbacks. The cottoi, although the amount received was much greater than that of any previous your, was rather poor in quality, and the prices obtained for it during the greater part of the season were extremely low. These conditions had ade pressing effect upon all kinds of business and teaded to limit the volume of trade. And the scarcity of money and several financial disasters were not without a hurt ful influence. Hut, notwithstanding these things, Savannah’s business increased in about every one of its important branches. Tha increase in her cotton receipts at tracted wide attention. She passed the 1,000,000 bales mark for the first time in her history, and this she did several months before the close of the season. The increase in her cotton receipts for the year ending Aug. 31,1590, over the previous year was 127,595 bales, and the increase last year over the previous year was 183,091 bales, the total receipts being very nearly 1,140,000 bales. This large annual increase justifies the expectation that in the very near future Savannah will receive almost, it not quite, as muoh cotton as New Orleans. She Las for years maintained her place as the second ootton port of the country, aid as her railroads are continually psnetrating new territory, and as she has many ad vantages not possessed by other pons, it is reasonable to believe that her ambition to become the first cotton port is not a hope less one. Her success in controlling sea island cotton is a matter of surprise to her rivals For the season just closed she handled two thirds of the crop of that cotton. And it is a class of cotton that is steadily Increasing in amount. Bavannah has long been recognized ns the leading naval stores market of the world. Those wno are always predicting that the sources from which the naval stores are drawn will soon be exhausted are year after year astonished at the increase in Savan nah's receipts of turpentine and rosin. It was thought the high water mark had been reached at the close of the season of 1890. but, during the season that closed Aug. 31, the reoeipta showod 11,000 more casks of turpentine than wore received the year before. It will be many years before the pine forests are exhausted, and, iu the meantime, the proportion of naval stores Savannah handles will steadily grow larger. And ns a lumber market Savannah holds a proud position. The quality of the lum ber she exports is better than that exported from any other southern port, and she is sur passed by only one port in the volume of her exports, and that one is Pensacola. And notwithstanding the fact that exports of lumbor to South America about ceased last year, owing to financial and other troubles there, her exports were 9,000,000 feet greater than the year before. And nothing more clearly shows her growing importance as a port than tho in crease in her shipping. This increase is con tinuous. For the year that onded Aug. 31, 1890, it was 190 vessels, and for the year ending Aug. St, last, it was 97 vessels. The whole number of vessels which cleared from the port last year was 2,236. The commerce which furnishes cargoes for so many vessels must be large indeed. With such a commerce, growing as it is with giant strides, would congress be justi fied In hesitating to make such an appro priation for Savannah harbor as would per mit the speedy completion of the improve ment which provides for a channel of twen ty-six feet? The improvement in the har bor that has been made already saves the people annually an amount greater than the entire sum the government has speut upon the harbor. Savannah’s wholesale business and manu facturing enterprises increase in proportion as her commerce increases. Last year the volume of her wholesale business was greater than ever before in her history, and its prospects are very bright. One new railroad will bo opened within a very few weeks, and others are being built Savannah. As soon as the monetary situ ation improves they will be pushed forward much more vigorously. They will open new and valuable territory to Savannah merchants, who will be quick to take pos session of it. Enterprising and courageous, they never hesitato to compete for new business, and their traveling salesmen are well known over a large part of the south and west. One of the best evidences of Savannah’s prosperity is the unsupplied demand for dwelling houses. More than seven hundred bouses were built last year, and still there is a constant complaint that houses cannot be had. And the demand for real estate is active. The scarcity of money has not caused any decline in thfe prices of building lots. This shows how strong confidence in the future of the city is. And confidence ought to be strong. There are the best of reasons why it should be. The immense Richmond Terminal system, with its vast western connections, and the great Plant system covering a large part of three states are pouring their wealth into her lap. And she is the ter minus of the finest lines of coastwise steam ers in tne world. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that her real estate is in de mand and that she draws trade from far distant sections of the country. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1891. If her people continue to stand shoulder to shoulder in her behalf, and work earnestly and judiciously f ->r her advancement,she will, at the end of this oentury.be the most import ant port of the south. Everything depends upon her people. They have accomplished much in the last ten years. They can ac complish a great deal more in the next ten. The Glenn Reform Law. The Morning News claims much of tho credit for the Glenn bill, which has passed the legislature, and which undoubtedly will be approved by the governor. The bill pro vides for so amending the constitution that the legislature will be relieved of a great deal of work in the shape of special legisla tion. For years the Morning Nws has been urging the legislature to get rid of looal and special legislation by submityng to the peo ple an amendment whioh would plaoe such special and local matters in the hands of tjiose who are better qualified to pass upon it than the legislature. Hut the Glenn bill does not go far enough, it provides only for giving the secretary of state jurisdiction of certain matters relating to the chartering of corporations and companies. The constitu tion ought to be so amended as to give county commissioners and municipal authorities power to deal with many of the local mat ters which are now submitted to the legis lature. Such matters do not receive muoh attention from the legislature. The mem bers especially interested are accepted as authority with regard to them. Whatever they advise is done. Would it not be far better for these matters to be attended to by those who know all about them and are in close touch with the people) And what a saving to the people would be effeoted. The legislature, instead of be ing in session four or five months every two years, could get through with its work in one session of forty days. There would then be more money for tha school fund aDd greater liberality could be shown needy confederate veterans and the widows of veterans. Our Relations With Chile. It cannot be said that Mr. Blaine has man aged our affairs in Chile with prof ound sa gacity. It looks very much as if some mis takes have been made that will cost this country dearly. The whole influence of our government from the beginning of the war in Chile until its close wa3 against the party that is victorious. There is therefore a very bitter feeling in that oouutry against Amer icans. It is so bitter that American com merce will likely suffer on account of it. At no time does tho state department seem to have had correct information of the actual condition of affaire in Chile. Minister Egan either did not know what was going on, or else he was so much under the in fluence of Balinaceda that he failed to inform his government of what he knew. The effort was made to create the impression in this country that Balmaceda was in the right, and was supported almost unani mously by the people. The purpose of the effort was to keep the government at Wash ington from granting to the eongres* sionalists belligerent rights, and it wag successful. Even our naval officers in Chilean waters appear to havo openly sympathized with Balmaceda. Aud it now appears that he was a corrupt man and a tyrant. His crueiltes and corrupt practices have not, it is be lieved, been made known to any great ex tent, but enough of them have reached the public to justify the opinion that Chile is well rid of him. Minister Egan is probably a particular friend of Mr. Blaine. If he is he has contrib uted nothing to Mr. Blaine’s popularity. For the Chilean business appears to have been badly managed from beginning to end. This country, by its course in the recent struggle there, has lost more in Chile than Blaine’s reciprocity policy is likely to gain in that country in a century. There is au assistant secretary of the treasury who is inclined to be humorous. Recently a young New York swell had an engagement ring returned to him by a lady who is sojourning in London. It seems that her heart had undergone a change since she went abroad, and she had con cluded that the New York man was hardly up to her mark as a lover. But the custom house authorities insisted that the returned ring was liable for duties to the amount of $46. The young man thought that to make him pay duty on the ring was adding insult to the injuries his heart had received. He refused to pay, and appealed to the Secre tary of the Treasury, saying the ring was of American manufacture. The matter was referred to Assistant Secretary Crounse, who ordered the collector of customs at New York to admit the ring duty free if he were satisfied that it “was not improved in condition or increased in value while abroad.” Probably this is law. but it pro voked laughter. But then there are many übsurd things in the law. If Balmaceda is caught the chanota are he will be dealt with severely. He brought about the war in Chile which cost so many lives and so much treasure. He attempted to name his successor, and the man he pro posed for the place was a creature of his own. He thought the people would submit quietly to bis scheme, but be was mistaken. It is a pity that others bad to suffer for his wrongdoing, while he is likely to escape to enjoy the wealth he accumulated while at the head of the government. Will Mr. Tat Calhoun be able to convince the legislature that it is the part of wis dom to let the Richmoud Terminal leases alone? He may be, but it is hard to con vince men they ought to change their course when they have no satisfactory reasons for the course they are pursuing. It is doubt ful if any member of the legislature can show that either ihe people or the stock holders of the Central would be helped by the treating of the Richmond Terminal leases. The bountiful harvest in Kansas has brought a feeling of contentment %o the people of that state, and with the prospect of getting good prices for their wheat they are beginning to wonder if they have not had about enough of Mrs. Represen tative Simpson and Benator Peffer. With a surplus of wheat worth at least $100,000,- 000 their evos are being opened to the folly of paying people to injure the credit of the state. The present season has been a bad one. as a rule, for seaside hotels. Almost a panic was created at Atlantic City on Tuesday by the announcement that four of the largest hotels and several of the smaller bouses at that place had failed financially, and had closed their doors. The sea, however, is as attractive as ever. Why is it, then, that sea side hotels have been so poorly patronised I PBR9ON AL*. A lbtter from Robert Louise Stevenson’s wife, dated Apia, July It* conveys the follow ing Intel ifgence; “We live in tumult and fears of threatened massacre. Mr. White has ar ranged to Mend his chili to Honolulu iu case of war* but the rest of u* will stir an 1 stick it on*. Mr. Stevenson ia ridiculously well. ” Ex-Ssxator Ixaiirts was obliged to withdraw, attb‘ last moment, from the party with which he expected to vis.t Europe, Palestine and Egypt, and stay at home. His wife's illness is the reason assigned for the change of plan. Consequently the fi iw .-f jokes on Veen dam, Rotterdam, and so forth, wIH be dammed. WmtN Capt. Sara Pernharlt takes command of the ocean steamer ia which she proposes to make a triumphal tour around the world, it is pretty certain that she will be the boss from the moment she gives the signal to “up anchor.” In ca*of a mutiny she will be fequa: to the oc casion. She wiU spout “Cleopatra” to the crew and turn her tiger ix>se ia the stoke hole. News of tho eerious illness of Benator Black burn brings regret to many republican as well as democratic frith is. Unless it be “Light Horpe Harry,” there is no Kentuckian in public life socially more popular In New York and Washington. The senator crimes of sturdy stock, slow to yield to sickness, but quick to and his splendid constitution may b? depended on to pull him through an attack that would be perilous to a man of other mold. Acmto us little story of Sirs. Arthur Wilson of Tranby Croft fame comes from London. She was one of the guests at the Princess of Woles' garden party, and ordered for the occa sion a dress of cream organdie with shamrock leaves. When the costume arrived it suddenly struck her tiiat the sUaair cks bore a striking resemblance to aces of clubs. “This will never do.” exclaimed the destroyer of Sir William Gordon-Cuauning. “If I go iu that dress it will look as tf ‘baccarat Is written all over me.” Great curiosity prevail In England as to the direction in which the immense estates of the late Duke of Cleveland have gone. As be has do heirs the title lapses, but the duke made a will last year which is one of the most singu lar on record. The lawyers drew up the docu ment, leaving blank the nuraes of toe legatees as well as the amounts devised, and these were filled in privately by the old duke, who then locked th- will up, and no one at present knows, not even the lawyers, to whom oil his immense riches have gone.

Tell me. quick ” “'A ell, you know my blue dress, the gingham, with the open-work sleeves and yoke?” “Yes, of course; that lovely thing you wore to the tennis party. But you weren’t going to wear it to tne DeSmith’s?” “No, no: of course not. But I did wear it to a picnic y< erday. Just six of us went down near Kansaicee for a 1 t’Je time together. Jack took me. and we had the loveliest time. The lunch was just splendid. But that isn’t it After we’d had lunch Jack got a little boat and asked me to go out rowing. Well, now I love to row, and so I went. We went away up the river, and it was pleasant enough—the sun behind the clouds, you know. But when we started to come back it got just blazing bot. I bad n't taken iny parasol, and I nearly melted. Well, we had to fl >at all tne way down tne river in the sun. I knew I was getting burned, but I thought it would be all right with my big hat to shade my face, and so I didn't say anything. “But when we got back 1 felt my arms burn ing a little, and as soon as we got home I took ofF my dress, and what do you think ? The sun had burned my arms and neck so that the open work pattern of the sleeves and yoke of that dress is just as clearly burned in as though I were a tattooed girl. It’s awful, and, if any thing, worse to-day than yesterday Well, as I said, my new dress for the party is cut very low and sleeveless, and I’m not going there and make an exhibition of myself for that nasty May to talk about. Her arms never were us pretty as mine, and she’d just love to hive something like that to tell about me.” Knew His Wife. He was about five feet tall, says the Now York Sun, had light hair, and looked meek. He was making strenuous but unsuccessful efforts to reach a knothole in a high board fence on the outskirts of East New York. A tail man was passing, and the small man glided up to him, plucked him timidly by the coat, and sail: “Hate to trouble you, sir, but would you mind doing me a favor?” “Not at all; would bo happy to.” The small man took him by the arm and led him over to the fence. “\ T ou see,” said Le. “I promised my wife I’d be home four hours ago and beat a carpet, and —well, I just want you to stand on that rock, look through that knothole up there, and teli me what is going on inside.” The tall man looked rather surprised, but complied, while the other leaned up against the fence to await developments. “What do you see r 1 asked the meek man presently. “Why. I see a woman ” “Sh: Not so loud! Tall woman, with auburn hair, red face, and wart on her cheek?” “That’sher.” _ “Beating a carpet, isn't she?” *‘Yes.” “Look warm?” *T should say so.” “Kinder excited, too, isn’t she?” “Well, yes.” "Um got her skirt up around her knees, and her sleeves rolled up to her shoulders?” I* "Exactly.” 335 "Has she got on a black bonnet with a white feather stuck hind side before and tied under neath the chin in a douhle hard knot!" "That's just the way she's dressed. " "What's she using, a carnet beater or a broom!” “A hoe handle.” "l.ord! She’s worse than I thought.” Just then came from the other side a crack, a rip and a snort. The fence shook, and the tall mac almost tumbled from his post. “Gee whiz!” said the other trembling; "but she’s got ’em had this time.
