Had it lieeu possible, Gen. Butler would
probably have expresjed (.-ratification that
his funeral was so unlike an ordinary
funeral. In lile he loved turmoil, so it
was hardly inappropriate that a inob should
force itself into tho hall where his body lay
in state, and awaken the echoes with shout*.
As long as the genera! remained above
ground he was the cause of wrangling and
discord.
Col. Watterson, editor of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, says that although for
years he has earn’d three times the salary
of a United States honator, ho has laid bv
no money. But what is money as compared
With the glory of being the a ithor of the
Btar eyed Goddess! Fifteen thousand a
year is a mere bagatelle in comparison . so
it happens that the editor is great despite
his poverty.
To appreciate how cold it was in St. Pe
tersburg, Russia, day before yesterday it
must be remembered what “69* cen
tigrade" below zero means. Accord
ing to the Fahrenheit thermometer ater
boils at 312° and freezes at 82“ above zero,
but-by the centigrade the t oiling point it
100° and the freezing point is marked
r.ero, so that ‘*69° centigrade” below zero
means that the thermometer lacks only 81°
of bejug as much below the freezing point
as the boiling point is above zero.
i* peculiar bow much terror the very
name, “Tammany,” inspire* lti R nne people,
Bee what the Springfield iMass.) F.epubliean,
an independent newspaper, has to say about
the "Tammany ’ of Savaunr.b 'Those
democrats in Savannah. Ga., who have
organized a Tammany society after the
model of the one in Ne .v York, are either a
■very innocent lot or else they will bear
watching. If they really believe that Tam
many is an honorable name under which a
body of honest men can associate themselves,
they are not to be trusted to go alone.”
It is just l.ke Frenchmen to talk about
reorganizing the Panama Canal Company,
after the disclosures in the old company's
management that have been mi le. And,
Indeed, as “it is the unexpected tbnt hap
pens in Paris,” they may do it aad make
another attempt at joining the oceans by
way of Panama. But au appeal to Ameri
oan financiers for aid would hardly be met
by a favorable response. The Americans
have got a canal schema of their owu
which they think superior to the Panama
project, and in which they will invest
whatever money they may care to out into
•anils.
The suggestion of a Berlin newspaper
that tbe American President, congre-s and
press were bribed by tbe Panama canal
swindlers is ridiculous. Tbe paper pr. bablv
intended to convey tbe idea that tbe Ameri
can chairman lor piesident) of the Panama
oansl c- miuittee may be involved in the
scandal as farts are brought out. Tie
manager for tbe Panama Canal Company
In this country was a cabinet minister at
tbe tipis be accepted tbe position, and re
signed from the cabinet to look out f< r the
company's Interests. He has rejieatedly
asserted that non* cf the canal company's
money was used iu this country for illegiti
mate purpo’es, still there are those who be
lisve tbnt be knows a lot more about the
businexa than bos yet bom made public.
However, if lhers should be discovered sn

Tbe Ides that it did Is preposterous.
C ckran Stands by Cleveland.
In an interview In Near York a day or
tw > ago (Vingresameu Cock ran, tbs Tam
many orator, said “I know that any
enemy of Mr Cleveland cannot be f istidly
i with the New York democracy. I believe
1 that the future of the Democratic party
lies with Hr. Cleveland. Ho has put the
! party where it is to-dev; to has nlready
| proved him s lf the matt of the party, aud
■ tbe New York democra y will support him
l in every way. Tbat 1 know.'’
It will be admitted by those who remetn
ber Mr. Cockran’s speech at the national
; demoeruto convention that tue foregoing ia
a remarkable political utterance. At the
national convention Mr. Ccrkran declared
tbat Air. Cleveland could not carry New
York, and that be was the most popular
man in the country every day in the year,
except election day. It looks as if Mr,
Cocfcran has reached the conclusion that he
was a Utakeo in his sttima e of Mr. Cleve
land, and is now willing to be guided, and
to have the party guided, by him.
Hut what does Mr. Ccckran mean by bis
statement tbat "auv enemy of Mr. Cleve
land cannot be friendly with the Now York
democracy?” Doet he not mean tbat Tam
many and the entire demooratio organiza
tion of New York will give Mr. Cleve
land a In arty support, even though beuator
Hill should show a disposition to embarrass
Mr. Cleveland’s administration ? If he dees
not mesn that, what does bejmean? There is
□o longer any doubt tnat tbe relations be
tween Mr. Croker and Senator Hill are
less cordial than they were. The Albany
Incident—the assertion that Mr. Croker said
that Senator Hill should be in Washington
attending to his senatorial duties instead of
being at Albany interfering io state poli
tic*—indicates that the Tammany chief no
longer regards Senator Hill as uecessary to
him. It is certain that Mr. Croker would
not have assumed such au attitude toward
tbe senator if he had not felt certain that
he had the approval of Mr. Murphy, Lieut.
Oov, Sheehan and other democratic leaders.
If Mr. Murphy in the Senate and Mr.
Cookran in the House give Mr. Clevelands
administration a hearty support it will not
make much difference what the disposition
of Senator Hill toward the administration
is. He will be without influence either in
New Y’ork or Washington, unless ho puts
himself on a friendlv footing with Mr.
Cleveland. Will he do that? If he does
not he will, from present indications, drop
out of sight. Mr. Murphy and Mr. Cockran
will represent the New Y’ork democracy in
Washington aud Mr. Cleveland will have
no need for even the good will of the
senior New York senator.
Atlanta's Bank Clearances.
A few days ago the Atlanta Journal, in
a local article relating to the clearances of
the Atlanta bunk* for the week ending Jnn.
7, contained a statement from which tbs
following is an oxtract: "Despite the fact
that there were only five days of last week
in which the banks of Atlanta did business
—Monday being a holiday—the clearances
for the week wero the largest for the same
period of time in the history of the Atlanta
Clearing House Association. Tho total for
the week reaches nearly $.5,000,000. It was
£4,000,877 88. The clearauces of the week
before only reached .$2,571,703 54.”
The Financial Chronicle, which pub
lishes the clearances of the banks of every
city in the country which has a clearing
house, has eu entirely different statement
of the clearances of the Atlanta banks for
the week in question. The Chronicle places
the amoimt of the clearances for the week
in question—the first week in January—at
$2,883,409, or just half of the amount stated
by the Journal. The Journal aleosays that
the clearances of the Atlanta banks for the
S ast week in Deoember amounted to $3,571,-
703 54. The Chronicle say a that they
amounted to $1,285 852, just half the
amount stated by the Journal.
We do not mean to be understood as
wishing to create the impression that the
Journal's figures were obtained by mul
tiplying the actual clearance by two, but
what we would like to know ia this: If the
Journal's figures are correct what is the
matter with that veiy reliable publication,
the Financial Chronicle 1 . Tho Journal
and the Chronicle cannot both be right.
One of tbt m must be wrong. We do not
undertake to say which is wrong, hut would
like to bear very much what the Journal
has to aay on the subject.
It cannot be possible that the Chronicle
has a spite against Atlanta and pul lubes
as the weekly clearances cf the Atlanta
banks only one-half of the actual amount of
them. There must be a mistake s* rae
where. And yet It seems strange that the
Chronicle should lie do persistently mis
taken in rescect to the aintnnt of tho
clearances cf the Atlanta banka. There is
clearly a mystery somewhere. Will the
Journal , for the benefit of the public, ur.
dertone to clear it up!
The whisky trust is pr bably the greatest
money makng organization In the country,
ard has completed arrangements to still
further increase its profits. At a meeting < f
1 directors held in Peoria a few days ogo, it
was shown that the concern had made
pr- fits approximating $3,000,000 during the
past month, and .that for the succeeding
month the profits would aggregate still
more. The trust will declare a dividend in
February, which a-cording to the Cleve
land }lain Di aler, will be the Isrgest ever
known. Subsequent dividends, it is esti
mated, will be quite as large, inasmuch as
the trust ha* adopted anew process for
whisky making. By this new process, ac
cording to the Financial Chronicle, “where
the company now pays 13 cents to
produce a given amount of high
wine, thoy will pay but 18-10
cents under the new process.” Besides
this the process “effects a saving of 17cents
on each bushel cf small grain. And not
only this, but a great saving will be ef
fected in the cattle feeding branch, [of the
trust] a* the refuse from the mashes, which,
undr the old process, was w orth sll a ton,
is increased in value under the new process
by $8 a ton.” The trust. It will be remem
bered, besides owning exclusively this vaiua
! ble new process, controls 95 per cent, of the
distilleries engaged iu making whisky, so
that it is in a position to dictate prices to
suit its tanev. How it pleases to run prices
is shown in the fact that during the past
month the price of whisky has been ad
vanced 20 cents a gallon.

TIIE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. JANUARY 17, 1893.
I Tbe Last o' tha Elections.
Tbe municipal election to-day will be the
last eieotion in which Savannah will take a
part for some time. And it is certain .hut
about everybody will be glad when the van
eon for elections is over. There have been
five ekctior.s in tbe last three months, and
the people have Lad enough of registering
and voting for an bile. Tbe first was tbe
state election in October, act! then followed
tbe national election, tbe election fi r county
i officers, tbe election for justices of the
peace, and now w e are having an election
for mayor and aldermen.
There are too many elections. They oc
cupy too much of tbe time and attention
of the people. It would be a saving of time
aud expense if tbe city and county elections
could be held on the same day. It might be
even possible to arrange a plan by which
one set of officials could manage the affairs
of both the city and tbe county. The inter
ests of tbe county, outside of tbe
city, are not as yet so
great tbat one government would
not answer for both. It is certain
tbat if they could I e placed under one
government a very considerable amount
might be saved in salaries of officials.
Now tbat local politics will s, on cease to
absorb so much of tbe attention of people
of this city it is reasonable to expect that
they will turn with renewed interest aud
energy to the work of establishing uew in
dustries and extending the city’s trade.
Tbe prospect is that the year will be an
important one in the city’s history.
Anew railroad connection with
Florida and the north will be
completed in the early fall, and It ought to
add greatly to the volutnejof the city’s
business. It will if our merchants take ad
vantage of tbe opportunities which it will
offer them. Much of the phosphate that is
now shipped atroad by way of Tampa and
Feruaudina ought to be shipped by way of
Savannah. It will not be a difficult matter
to greatly increase the volume of exports,
and with increased exports there will be an
Increase in many other kinds of business.
There are signs that there will
be a groat deal of building during tbe
year. A good many improvements of
one kind and another are projected. Work
on the river will go right along until the
improvement, which promises a channel of
26 feet to tbe sea, is completed. Tbe new
public building will be begun in the spring.
If Bavanuah citizens will pull together
steadily and earnestly they will have the
satisfaction of seeing her advance rapidly
in wealth and population.
Keep in View the City's Welfare.
In the election to-day the city’s interest
should be the matter of the first considera
tion. Every citizen is interested, in a greater
or less degres, in having a city government
that has the confidence and approval of the
people. Voters can *ery well afford to for
get friendships and enmities and business
relations in selecting the candidates for
whom to vote. Indeed, it is their duty to
do so. It is a matter of tbe highest im
portance that tbe best men obtainable shall
be chosen to manage municipal affairs.
There is nothing to be said against the
platform of either candidate for mayor.
Both candidates are well known citizens.
Mr. McDonough has made a good mayor
and Mr. Harmon lias rendered good service
in council as chairman of the street and
lane committee. Mr. McDonough, how
ever, has not only made a good mayor but
he has rendered the city on extraordinary
service in enforcing the ordinance pro
hibiting the opening of aalcons on Sundays.
Under his administration there has been
very little drunkenness in Savannah on Sun
days , and tbe arrests for offenses of any
kind on those days have been very few. And
a large percentage of laborers and their
families have been better off, because
temptation to waste their money when idle
on Sundays has beeu removed. Would
it not, therefore, be wise to continue Mr.
McDonough in office another term? He has
shown what he can and will do.
Among tbe aldermanlo candidates there
are men on the present board who are faith
ful officials, There is no reason why they
should not be re-elected. And among tbe
new candidates there are men who are cer
tain to serve the city faithfully if elected,
if voters cast their ballots in aooerdance
with their judgments, as they should do, a
good board of aldermen will be chosen.
The Committee bn a World's Congress of
Representative Women, being a suborgan
ization of the Woman’s Branch of the
World's Congress Auxiliary of the World’s
Columbian Exposition, according to the
circulars, has issued a call fur a congress of
the representative women of the world to
be held m Chicago s< me time during tho
exposition season 0fT893, ibe exact date to
b made km v?n later. If the ladies would
get rid of part of tho eumberso.i e title of
t>e;r organization they might save them
selves the danger of writers’ palsy every
timo they have occasion to sign nu < ffieial
document* The laudable object of
the congress, however, is to discuss
••every living question pertaining to the
education or employment of women.” This
general bead has been divided into eight
parts; education, industry, art, phil
anthrophy and charity, moral and social
reform, religion, civil law and govern
ment, upon wbioh subjects the leading
thinkers among woman the world over w ill
bs invited to submit papers. This congress,
by the way, is not to take the place of or
interfere with the regular womau's con
grees on general subjects; this one is to be
merely a side issue, though on a large scale.
It will probably he one of the interesting
feetures of the fair,inasmuch as the names
of the ladies on the mauaging committee in
dicate that erudite papers on some of the
perplexing questions of the day will be sub
mitted.
The news that Senator Carlisle has de
cided to enter Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, as
published in the MobmlNu N’zws yester
day. will probably make the legislat rs of
the Blue Grass stato smack their lips and
dream dreams of Atherton's 4-X velvet
brand and Sherloy’s old amber-colored
liquid with the delightful flavor. For both
Atherton and i-herley are distillers of
"stuff that is hard to beat,” even in Ken
tucky, and each is a candidate for Carlisle's
seat. How the Kentucky legislator is go
in[t to decide between them is a mystery.
Maybe the best thing to do is to leave
them bo:h at home and tend some man to
Washington against whom no breath of
whisky could be brought—it he can be
found in Keatuoky.

M. Clfmknceat’ is one of the few men who
cannot be interviewed. When a reporter goes
to him and asks: ‘‘What do you think of such
an 1 such things?” M. Clemenceau always an
swers, “Let me hear what you think first.” And
the conversation usually stops there.
The Springfield (Mass ) Republican has a
sketch of a Frank in county farmer who has
b en handicapped from bis youth by total blind
ness, but who, notwithstanding this misfortune,
is one of the most prosperous farmers in West
ern Massachusetts. His name is William M
I’avenport, and his farm is in Leyden, covering
700 acres Its owner's property has come, not
because he inherited a dollar or because he has
beeu aided by others, but solely through his
native ability and untiring efforts. He earned
his first dollar by thrashing and sawing wood,
and now be is estimuted to oe worth $50,000 to
$75,000 He knows tho geography of his farm,
aud is a good judge of the nature and character
of the soil. For years he has been look© 1 upon
as one of the best judges of live stock in the
county, and he is frequently employed as a
judge to guide buyers in the market. He at
tended school but little, an I what he did learn
was by sitting in the school room and hearing
the other felloes recite, tie is a thorough be
liever In the New Fnaland farm, and says it is
good enough for him in every respect. Alto
gather. Farmer Davenport may bo said to be
a very remarkable man.
The most peculiar and eccentric character
that ever lived in Alabama, says the St. Louis
Republic, was Thomas Banks, who died at
Montgomery some time during the year 1890.
I hy&icians say t->af he would have lived years
long* r than he did had it nDt been for the fact
that he was continually brooding over the
danger of being buried alive. He was a man
* f considerable property, being rated at about
$200,0X), but to his way of looking at the mat
ter money could not provide against the hor
rors of a premature burial. Away back in the
”0s he had a mausoleum built in
the Montgomery cemetery, and directed
that he and his only brother should be
laid there together after death. In 1889
the brother died &nd wai carefully and ten
derly laid aw'ay i:i one of the niches of the
mausoleum. After this solemn event Thomas
had his bedroom furniture moved to the tomb
and ever after regularly made his toilet there.
As meutioned above. Thcmas also in 1890,
aid now the two brotuers lie within handv
reach of fresh air should either wake from ins
dreamless si ep. The Banks brothers Vere na
tives of North Carolina, and went to Montgom
ery same time about the year 1860.
Ornithologists and every day bird fanciers
in general, although not usually given the
credit for relating true \\ altonian piscatorial
narratives, vow and declare t iat the ‘‘read
runner,” a western species of cuckoo, forces the
rattlesuake to commit suicide by biting himself.
The modus operancli of this knowing oird, says
the SL L mis Republic, is t-iis: He perambulates
around till he finds bis snakesbip enjoying a
quiet snooze. After fully satisfying himself
that the rattler is really and truly sieer iog the
mischief-loving road runner sets about gather
ing prickly pears and other Epecimens of cacti.
These thorny vczetab es are carefully arranged
in a circle around tbe snake, “who little recks
of the trouble brewing.” When everything is
in readiness the bird arouses the sleeping reptile
with a coarse shriek. The serpent throws him
self in the attitude of defense, aad in doing so
pricks his silky coat In a score or more of places
on the cacti barrier It is a true case of “out
of the frying pan into the tire;” every move he
makes adds to his torments. Finally, so the
ornithologists *av, the snake bites himself as a
last means of treeing himself from such un
b arable irritation. Hedies, of course at least
the above-mentioned ormtholcg.sts so declare'.,
and the road runner, which must certainly have
enough brains for two heads. cactles with de
light when he finds that another of his tra
ditional enemies have s .ocumbed. The snake
being now dead as a direct result of tho bit gm
cuteuess. the ornithological part of the sioryrs
ended. Now the herpetologist has his say. (By
the way. the herpetologist is a )>ersoa who is
supposed to know all about snakes, even of the
private affairs of the sea serpent). The editor
of “N- tea for the Curious” i.s easily *‘gulled;”
be b lievee a 1 sorts of queer stories and prides
himself it th belief t at be still has
I capacity for believing thousands of Mulhat
{ tonic yarrs that may yet “be spun,” but
the story of the snake's ability to poison
! himself was too muo . io make a long story
1 short, I wrote to the expert i logist. Dr.
Arthur S;ra uiqg. who had previous y given hi-*
opinion as fo lows: “Io wnat extent a poison

C on e the hours when we sit in the shadow
That fails like tho droop of a wing
O'er the nest t! at i< naked and empty
When the fledglings . ave learned how to sing,
Then woe is the for the old time.
The time that was busy and gay, , . _
With the world and its clamor about us.
And we in the midst of the fray.
In the shadow we count up our loss© 6 ;
We where we marched with the best.
O! the ache when w try to walk softly,
The cry of our soul against rest.
Aud wo prieve for tho golden heads vanished;
Our children are women and men.
And wistful and deep is the yearning
To have them but children Again.
And we fret o'er the fruit 1* ss endeavor,
The labor that satisfied not.
Tdi tho shadow grows thicker and longer.
And the blur in our eyes is a blot
On the lingering splendor of runshine,
1 hat taps with its lances of light.
At the shut and barred door of our memory.
And after-glow radiant and bright.
Do we see nothing else but our losses.
We mourning there, fools and purblind.
With the crown and the kingdom before us,
The conflict and turmoil behiad?
Shad th harvest lament for tbe seed time,
The bud be less blithe than tbe leaf?
Is there joy when the plow breaks the furrow,
And none when the hand binds the sheaf?
O! wings tbat are folded an l drooping,
Spring wide in tbe evening's uplift:
Reach out to the Btars tnai are snowing
The skies in a silvery ri t
No dav of our days is so hallowed
As that when we >ee, just before,
Tbe light in the house of our father
Shine out through his halt open door.
