Since the McKinley tin plate hurrah has proved -uch au arrant frau i the friends of High Tariff Me are r.ow busily engaged in declaring “tin plate a side issue.’’ They are certainly cot to blame for laying aside that •‘piEen” realty if they can. So will the fruit canneries. Spending the pension appropriation com pletely is said to be such a care upon Com missioner Kautn that he sometimes gives two pensions to one man. “Liberality to iie old soldier” is the republican policy as long as any capital can be made out of the said “old soldiers.” At a recent country fair in New York fay Gould divided time with a bevy of rural babies as the star exhibition. But fay didn't get any prize. Only four babies got prizes and about forty mothers were as mad as wet teas about it. Evidently each of thorn thought that her particular cherub was the only one deserving of a prize. Shoeing the babies is a dangerous job for the prize committee. Two lawless and very angry farmers in Dhio shot each other into more or less small fragments the other day ad about a plain pod of country apples. That was all wrong and very unnecessary. They might have gone quietly and peacefully to work like a pair of malignant Christians and eaten those apples. That would have settled the whole question quietly it not calmly, and B*cb would have suffered tortures enough to delight the heart of a savage. Excited Nebraska farmers recently went scouting for a murderer. They were various ly armed with rifles, bludgeons and hay forks of different degrees of deadlines. Suddenly they decided to charge upon an Unobtrusive and venerable barn. They oborgtd. Though the barn must have been greatly astonished it didn’t say any thing. It made no resistance whatever. They thought the muruerer was in there hiding. But he wasn’t. Probably they are mighty glad h wasn’t. If they had found him he might have been real dan gerous. Boston is said to have lately been greatly •hocked and astonished because a newly ar rived Italian immigrant mistook the pud dle used as a frog pasture on Boston Com mon for a natatorium and plunged in after shedding bis allegiauce to Italia with his apparel. With unwonted energy and all the force of logic they yanked him out and precipitately retired him to the seclusion of a place of incarceration Subsequent in quiry elicited the amazing intelligence that the dreadful creature could not say beans to o Bostonian That’* bow come the law will give it to him in tbs neck.

Tbe impression seems to prevail that it will no: pass that body. Its friends, how. ever, are making extraordinary efforts in its bebaif. They seem determined to get tbe railroads affected by it into tbe courts for some reason or other. It is clear that the kind of legislation pro posed by tbe till is not nee try for the protection of tbo interests of the people, and it is certain teat the holders of the secur.tiesof the roads ar ■ not demanding it. Who, then, are the friends of the bill repre senting? There are features of the bill to which there are no serious objections. These feat ures are fouod in the Chappell substitute. That substitute is wb illy satisfactory to the people and the security holders. It gives the railroad comm ssion power to regulate the roads when by combination they could prevent d.sirable competition end impose higher transportation rates than there would likely tie if there was competition. But then the railroad commission has abso lute control of transportation rates. It can fix their maximum limit. When the peo ple are in danger of suffering from a com bination of railroads it can give them all tbe protection they may ask for or are en titled to. Why, then, should the commission be given power to drag railroads into the courts for the purpose of breaking up their combinations? Every one knows that litigation is ex tremely damaging to a railroad or a railroad system. It destroys onfideuco in .its securities, and the amount of securities held in Georgia that would be injured by mak ing the Smith substitute a law is simply enormous. And what would be accom plished, that is helpful to the people, by the Smith substitute that could not be ac complished without it? Absolutely nothing. Tbe Chappell substitute carefully guards the rights of minority stockholders in the railroads. Without the consent of thß commission uo bonds or stocks oould be issued by any railroad company chartered by the state if it should become a law. Tbe watering of stocks would be impose tie. The chief argument advanced in behalf of the.Berner bill and the Smith substitute, when those measures wore discussed in tbe Bouse, was that legislation such as was pro posed in these measures was necessary to insure healthy competition, but those who advanced this argument failed to show that such legislation would bring about lower rates than would exist without it. In fact they failed to advance aoy convincing reason for legislation of that kind. Their motive seemed to be to strike a blow at the big railroad system that has obtained con trol of a large number of the railroads of tbe state, regardless of the question whether such a Blow Would benefit the people or not. It cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty what the Senate will do with re gard to the Smith substitute, but the indi cations are that its action will be dictated by a broader and more liberal spirit than was that of the Houso in dealing with the same matter. A Black State. It looks now as if Oklahoma would be a blck state. The blacks are going there in large numbers from every part of the coun try, particularly from the south. It is es timated that there will be between 80,000 and 40,000 there within six months. Several of the towns contain only blac’t people, and in Guthrie, the principal town of tbe territory, there ore 3,000 blacks out of a population of 8,000. All over the territory the blacks have taken up land with the in tention of becoming farmers. And they all seem to have money. This movement of the blacks to Oklahoma is not a sporadic one. It promises to be con tinuous because It is in accordance with a well considered plan to make Oklahoma a black state. A black man named McCabe is directing it. Ha is a man of considerable ability, having served two terms as auditor of the state of Kansas. McCabe thinks he has found the solution of tbe race problem. Ho believes that if he can demonstrate in Oklahoma that tho blacks are capable of self-goveratneu!; there will ba no difficulty in colonizing blacks in other territories. The wealthy blacks in all parts of the country are helping on tbo Oklahoma move ment by contributing money to establish colleges and newspapers conducted in the interests of the blacks. It ib stated that 2,(K;0 agents are going through tno south urging the better class of blacks who have a little money to go to Oklahoma. All classes of blacks are not acceptable, nor are tbey accepted. O ily the inure intelligent and thrifty are wauted. There is no disposition as yet to drive tho whites out of Oklahoma, but it is noticeable that where the black-Ssttlj iu large num bers the whites sell out their holdings any go elsewhere. Ihiy don't seem to take kindly to too many back neigh bo s. Mc- Cabe understands this feeling very well, and he relies upon it to drive the most of the whites out of tho ter: itory. Jle is satisfied that when the blacks are largely In the ma jority and take control of the territorial, county and municipal governments white immigration will practically cease and black immigration will increase, s:> that when the territory is admitted into the union it will be admitted as a black state. This carrying out of this plan of McCabe wiii tie watched with interest, particularly by tho whites of Oklahoma. Tho whites who were so anxious to got into that terri tory may, before long, be equally anxious to get out of it. By wav of neutralizing so far as possible the damaging effects of the lato “tin plate” fiasco of McKinley in Ohio an alleged “Pennsylvania manufacturer” has just sent from McKeesport to Gov. Campbell at Co lumbus a box of tin plate said to be of the best quality “the company turns out.” That may mean muen or little according to the quality “the comnany turns out." But the tin seDt is probably good whether the com piny actually made it or not. Nobody has yet stated that making tin plate in this country is absolute y impossible. Possibly the company in question may have taken a month to produce one box for campaign effect. But making tin for market is al together different from that. Since there is no avidance of Itotb- r than the unsup ported statement of the evidently interested "manufacturers” there is really no good reaoot! for believe g that they made this show tiu at all in view of the frauds re cently perpetrated in other ways for the same purpose. Should auv infantile Ohioans gat any of those alleged “tin” badge* re oently distributed aud lick the poison surface as uklldren frequently do, their robust voting daddies will go to the polls and bek the Hem.

It virtually ended Saturday, but those who sa w the mistake tbey had made did not then dare antagonizs the leaders of the move ment. Yesterday morning hundreds of laborers returned to work and many more would have done so could tbey have ob -1 tamed employment The leaders, however, were unwilling to give in and fought against the inevitable until last night, when the president and chairman of the labor union officially declared the atrike off. The ili-aivised movement has made a Ireak be. ween the business men and tbeir colored laborers which it will take time to mead. It w ill be difficult to forget that men who had for years been faithful to their trusts deserted their posts at tbe dictates of those of whose very names even they were ignorant. These who were true to the best interests of the community, however, will not be forgotten. AVere it not for the strong commercial position which Savannah has established for itself the strike would have done much injury to the city’s business interests. Yos torday business resumed it* former activity, and to-day every trace of the recent troub les caused by the derangement of labor wiil doubtless disappear. While the Morning News, as usual, has kept abreast of the news every day, its con servatism lu handling the grave issues did much to allay the antagonism which tbe str.ke engendered. A single Indiscreet para graph would have inflamed the minds of either side, and might have brought about a collision. In the interest of law an 1 or der much that was talked about by the strikers and the thousands of wild rumors were suppressed. The trouble is over, and it is hoped that such a state of affairs will never again be known in Savannah. Talk About Etnareal Tin. Hurrahing a campaign is so customary that many devices to evoke enthusiasm that are not strictly within the pale of legitimate argument or rational conduct are frequently tolerated in political warfare. Such an un reasoning spirit of pArtisan zeal must have prompted the republicans of Ohio to allow a local manufacturer to advertise his busi ness at the expense of the party by making a lot of medals of alleged tin in the presence of Candidate McKinley and ostensibly for his benefit. At all events they undoubtedly had bis official approval. Chemical analysis of these medals bos since shewn that they are not made of tin at all. They are of wrought irem coated with a dangerously poisonous composition of lead alloy. Here is the report of the most eminent analytical chemists in St. Louis to whom the Republic submitted a medal for analysis; “AYe have made a qualitative analysis of the medal sent us, and find results as fol lows; The medal is a circular piece of metal stamped with the inscription: ‘MoKiuley and Protection. Made of Ohio steel and California tin. Pequa, 1891.’ The composi tion of the medal is wrought iron plate of a rathor inferior grade, covered with a very thin coating of tin and lead alloy, in which the lead largely predominates. Thera is certainly no steel in its composition, and we doubt very much the source claimed for tbe tin.” Imposing upon the public bo base a fraud for political purposes is uot tbo worst feature of the case. Those thrifty proteges of the Republican party really intend to avail themselves of the policy of the "party of protection” to protect them in operating nothing more nor less than a confidence game by imposing upon tbe public that sort of insidiously deadly ware for tin. Such a calamity would subject every one who has occasion to use a tin pan, pall, or can, or the contents of such veisels, to tbe coustaut peril of being poisoned. No poison is more deadly than lead. Now the principal question of interest to the public is to know wbethor Candidate McKinley was a voluntary and active par ticipant in the swindle that he has so freely and enthusiastically indorse 1. It is simply a question of w hether he deliberately piaced the stamp of his party aud individual ap proval upon a flagrant imposition and attempted to deceive the people of Ohio into electing him governor on a platform of fraud, or whether he has boen victimized and is makirg a somewhat ridiculous cam paign on the alleged merits of “American ti i,”while he really doesn’t know a piece of genuine tin when he sees it In either event tbo great high tariff apostle is not just now lu a position to very favor ably impress tbe voters of Ohio. Under the new hill of rights of Venezuela the death penalty is to be abolished. In many other respects tho insru neut also manifests a progr -siive spirit that s irpasses even the most advanced of civilized nations. Among other things a'! res Tie ions aio withdrawn from the public pre-s ad tho mails are ren ierej iuvio able. K g'u sin private property >.re guaranteed, ad the president is divested of the veto power. Of all t esa Innovations probably the otter is least to be commended. Such a power as the presidential veti acts somewhat i 1 the capacity of a balance wheel to restrain un wise legislation, whether the power is u ed or not. Without that held before the leg islative eye passions piejndices and pecu lation are apt to literally ran riot iu a so-called popular body of that character. Running the machinery of government without such a balance wheel is not, safe. Philadelphia cabbie- are vigorously kick ing because a wealthy ycung man has been running a tallo-bo coach in that sleepy town without a license. They are right. Amateur competition is quite as objection able iu cab driving as in any other line of practical endeavor. If the tastes of that very thrifty young man take the ecoentric turn of a penchant for coach driving he should either confiae his efforts to gratui tous services for his friends or take out a regular license as a coachman and put him self in lino for the favor of some rich man's pretty daughter. But his friendship seems to come pretty high at the present tariff of f'~ 50 a seat in his coach—to say nothing of tho pecuniary evasion of the law. War is said to have been averted in Europe because Kaiser Bill’s British grandma bet'ayed his confidence in telling the czar that tier impetuous imperial boy intended to attack France while she was Isolated.

A pretty story of the late Emperor Fred erick 1s told in quo of the German papers, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Seme years ago, shortly before the death of the old Emperor of Ger many, a tali, handsome gentleman .lumped into a third clasi carnage of a local railway at Ber lin just as the train was leaving the station. An old flower seller with a basketful of newly cut hyacinths was the only other occupant of the compartment. He ask©<l the old dame to se’l him a bunch, and, mi llified by his suave manner, she chose the fresher and largest and handed it to him. Its price was a peuny. bat as tne gentleman ha I no coppers and the old woman no change, not having soli any of her goods yet, she was paid with a mark pFce. which, as she said at one*, was a thing that ha 1 never been heard of before in a third class railway carriage. Presently the stranger and the flower seller were deep in conversation, and it turned out that tne poor woman was the only bread winner of a family of four. Her son was crippled her granddaughter a little school girl, and her hus band had for some mouths been out of work since anew railroad official had dismissed him as i>eing too old to do much work. Tne stranger then suggest and that she should a PP*y. on her husband's behalf, to tb© railroad authorities. “That is no good whatever, * she replied, as she wiped her tears with her apron. “If you haven't the pope for your cousin nowa days you can*t get anybody to listen to 3’ou. " “Then try the emperor." the stranger went on. “Alas! ’ she sighed, “if the old gentleman was allowed to see the petitions that are sent it might do some good, but he dees not get to know about us poor people." “Well, then, let your husband write to the crown prince.** “Yes,Y she said “he might do that." and sh would tell him so as soon as she had sold her flowers. By this time the train had got to the terminus, the old dame bundled out her busker and noticed with astonishment that tho officials and the crowd on the platform looked at her carriage an 1 saluted and ch-ere i. “What a up?" she asked. “Why the crown prince was in the same compartment with you." Then the flower seller held her head high and told every sydable of what had happened to the delighted crow J. Her flowers were sold before five minutes were over, and a fortnight after her husband was at work again in his old place, Won a Wsger and Position. They stopped a great financier on Third street yesterday noon, as he was walking along with bowed head, says the Cincinnati Commer cial Gazette . figuring perhaps on the value of securities he had taken for the last loan made, and perhaps on the time it would take him personally to payoff the national debt. It looked a3 though it might bankrupt several banks if his train of thought were interrupted, but one of the young raeu was the son of an old friend, so he took the interruption in fcood part and for a moment let the banks take their chances with the unfeeling world. “V\ hat's a promoter?" asked the young man who stopped him. “Um—ah—a promoter," he said, in his supe rior war. “A promoter is—ah—a man who— ah—promotes.’ “Promotes what?" asked the young man. By this time the financier had got his mind off of one or two of the banks and centered it on the question. “Great enterprises, my boy,” be said, pat ronizingly. “A promoter is a man who takes hold of a greater scheme and pushes it through. He 6ecuresvinvestors. shows the advantages of —but why do you want to know?” you see," explained the young man diffidently, “we had a little dispute as to the meaning of tho word as it is used at present, and we wanted to havj it decided." “Quite right, quite right ' The financier looked his approval. “How did you decide ?" “Why, we haven't decided yet. I bet Jim a 6tnall bottle that the best definition of a pro moterwas ‘a man who sells what he hasn’t got to a man who doesn’t know what he's getting.’ ’’ The great financier was startled for a mo ment. Then he said: “Young man, you come around to my office; I’ll find a position for you."

From the Boston Evening Transcript . Two men toiled sido by side, from sun to sun, And both were poor; Both sat with ciidren when the day was done, About their door. One saw the beautiful in crimson cloud And suiumg moon: The other, with his head in sadness bowed. Made night of noon. One loved each tree, and flower, and singing bird On mount or plain; No music in the soul of one was stirred By leaf or rain. One saw the good in every fellow man, And hoped the best; The other marveled at his Master's plan. And doubt confessed. One, having heaven above and heaven below, was satis fled; The other, discontented, lived in woo, And hope.ess died.
