BOTH SHUTS OF t Ol \< if. Si; I TO.
Mayor Myers* nml Mr. Explain
the Mutter.
The little affair at the City Exchange
night before last In which Air. J. R. Saus
sy, Jr., was tho central figure, was the
cause of no little comment yesterday. Mr.
Saftssy explains in tne Morning News
that he was not attempting to present his
case without the consent of the Mayor or
Council, but was simply insisting on his
right to be heard. The friends and the
opponents of the administration natural
ly seized upon the incident, and Mr. Saus
sy was in receipt continually yesterday of
congratulations from the latter, and chill
ing glances from the former.
Mr. Saussy w'as in receipt of consider
able sympathy because cf the fact that
lie was refused a hearing after an unus
ually long wait in the Cguncil room. Many
other citizens have experienced th<*e de
lays under this and former administra
tions and they are inclihed to think Air.
Saussy had good grounds to protest. May
or Myers was asked obout tlrs phase of
the matter.
“The session of the committee last night
w'as much longer* than us*’ial,” said the
Mayor. “We gave some time to hearing
Mr. D. B. Lester and his attorney, Mr.
Oliver, upon the Vernon Shell Road
Company’s petition, and further time w*as
occupied by Mr. Osborne in support of a
petition of the B 11 Telephone Company.
Besides there w r ere several other matters.
The members of the board do not w'aste
time in gossip in the committee room, and
as a rule these conferences rarely ex
ceed a half hour. A meeting of the Com
mittee of the Whole is usually held sev
eral days beforehand to pass upon mat
ters referred to that body, and such a
meeting was held last week.”
Mayor Myers remarked that Mr. Saussy,
being a lawyer, should not have taken ex
ception to such a delay as it is not an
uncommon thing for the lawyers to wait
days and even weeks to get a hearing
in the state courts, and to be frequently
put off from one day to another. City
Attorney Adorns, who was present, re
marked that the City Council was tho
most expeditious court which he had any
acquaintance, Jtle W4* inclined to think
at times, he said, that the public business
was dispatched too much expedi
tion.
Mayor Myers said he did not care to dis
cuss the incident with Mr. Saussy. The
latter, he sold, had thrust himself upon
Council without waiting for an invitation
to do so. and was entirely out of order.
The Levi mutter was still pending and
Alderman Thomas had a resolution to
present, but Mr. Saussy ignored his call
to order and persisted in going ahead with
his statement. Under the circumstances
there was''nothing for him to do, but
to call upon the marshal to intervene.
The complaint of the city against Mr. J.
W. Mclntyre on account pf a building,
owrwd by him on Broughton- street, w'hich
the tire superintendent charges to be in
a dangerous condition, and a menace to
public safety, is set for a hearing at 4
o’clock this afternoon. Mr. Saussy is
Mr. Mclntyre’s attorney and will repre
sent his client at the hearing.
In the statement to the Morning News
concerning the affair before the Council,
Mr. Saussy says:
“It is a matter of regret to me that
humiliating occurrence at the meeting of
Council should have heen deemed of suffi
cient importance to appear in the pub io
print. The notice, as contained in the
Morning News, while in the main correct
does me an injustice. lam described ps
insisiing upon the trial of my case a Per
it had been decided to postpone the hearing
and that I was proceeding with my argu
ment when the presiding officer ordered
me to sit down. The case had IK-en brought
to the attention of Council and a statement
had been made that inasmuch ns the city
attorney was absent the ease would have
to go over. It w'os here I announced that
I was ready to go on and objected to a
jxistponement, and was in the midst of my
argument, stating the reasons why the
case should not be postponed when I was
ordered to sit down. I appealed from
this on the ground that I was addres ing
Council as a bbdy and had the right to
represent my client and urge any hgri
objection to postponement. Without wait
ing for me. to conclude my remarks and
without submitting the question to Coun
cil for its action, the presiding officer un
dertook to dispose of tlie case on his own
motion and used ihe exceedingly discour
teous language as stated in your columns.
There is hot a gentleman in ihe city who
would have submitted to the indignity
without comment, end I have really no
apology to make on that score.
“Since- the adjournment of Council I
think I/have discovered the secret of the
whole trouble. When the trial of Dr. Levi
had been concluded there was some little
delay in order to give Alderman Thomas
an opportunity to write the resolution of
censure. It was during this interim my
case was called and the statement was
made as to postponement. 1 Interposed an
objection. J was facing the- presiding offi
cer. Mr. Thomas was across the table
from where I stood and was somewhat
liehlnd me so that l could not see him.
It seems that he had finished writing his
resolution while I was addressing the
Council, and was ready to present the
sajne. The pres I ling officer, without com
municating thai fact to me. or giving me
the slightest intimation that there was
any other business for the Immediate con
sideration of Council, gave his peremptory
and discourteous ord< r.
“I will not stultify myself by making
any further statement as to what course
would have be* n pursued by me ha-1 the
proper and parliamentary treatment been
accorded. 1 have no far of the conclu
sions to be formed by those who are ac
quainted with ine; it Is only that those
who do not know me may have an oppor
tunity to Judge of the'circumstances as
they appeared that I trouble you.”
To Atfeml KnimenlrHl Connell*
Rev, J. A Smith, Rev. W. N. Ainsworth
and Mrs. Ainsworth of Dublin, and Rev.

The Creed In Danger.
Savannah, April 19. 1900.—Editor Morning
News—S r: Under the above capt oi the
Morning New's of yesterday contained an
edi.orial on which I Leg to muks a f.w
comments. •
I might suggest a c rrection in the tRh
of your edito lal, for it seems to me that
it would be more explicit if you wrote cf
a creed in danger, instead of the creed*in
danger.
I have no suggestion to make to mv
Presbyterian friend's in regard to a change
in the r creed. That is the.r oSce n and
none of mine, though l am free to say
that it strikes me bung peculiar that
such loamed men as Dr. Hi'lP and othtYs
should have only discovered re e uly that
they could not consistently - remain in the
Presbyterian communion. The particular
article to which they object was not pro
claimed yesterday. I mr confo s my
surprise that any one aha.tid have imag
ined that any difficulty-would have b e i
raised in Plymouth Church, o a c .urch,
which calmly sat under the spiritual gui 1-
ance of Henry Ward Beecher ifi i Lyman
Abbott must have a wo and rfilbyi e!as' o
spiritual digestion.
My only concern with your editorial and
the excuse for this letter are found on
your comments on the domestic row.
I make no doubt but >ou represent the
views of a major! y of your reader-, and
mores the pity; for the practical indif
ference to all positive religious teaching
is one of the worst features of modern
society. Men are no longer sho:?ke 1 whe t
their preachers deny the plenary in-pira
t'on of Holy £teriptu-rej or the Divinity f
Christ, became men conoid r that these
questions are of lit lie moment.
Dr. Parkhurst i ed os advising tha.
attention be rather pi id to “the vlt 1 i
-of Jesus Christ’s message to the
world.”
Now*, it seems to me that Christ's mess
age to the world is and should be the sub
ject of the creed of the Christian church.
If it is, then this creed can not be a sub
ject of indifference to men, for men are
bound to accent it ah coming from
Christ. If Christ has spoken, I am not
free to regret His word.
But if the creed does not give Christ s
message to the world, then the church
putting forward the creed has no claim
on man, and is of purely human origin.
There is a proper field for human reason
in finding whether Christ gave a message
to the world. But. the fact being estab
lished, is it possible to conceive that a
Christian could be indifferent to it. or
claim that reason has a right to regest it?
Is a man ever free to do wrong—of
course, I am not talking of physical but
of moral free dom. Men may, and do err,
in particular cases as to the morality cf
certain specified actions. But the general
axiom stands that no one has a right to
do wrong. And this moral rule has a cor
relative proposition in the domain cf
faith. A man is bound to believe the truth
and is not free to regret it. He should
not be indifferent to it. Truth has a real
existence by itself and apart from liim
who knows it, and apart from any knowl
edge of it. As objective/a truth would be
as real if it were never known, as it
would be, if all men krt fe W it.
If God made a revelation to the world,
this revelation must be true, and no man
can have the right to deny it or bo in
different to It, for It depends upon the
veracity of God.
Men may deny the fact of revelation or
question that certain statements form r
part of such Divine revelation, but I can
not comprehend how any man can pro
claim his utter indifference thereto. The
vast majority of Christians profess to be
lieve that such a revelation, has been
made by our Lord and Saviour, and the
evidence for such a belief is ample and
convincing. Now such revelation was
made in order ‘that ro*M* Might, through
it, secure salvation. Can a sane man be
indifferent? Thevevidence for revelation
as a whole as w'ell as for the various ar
ticles of revelation rests upon the same
foundation. It seems to me that it is the
great duty of man 16 satisfy himself
on these paints, and his indifference there
to is an insult to God. Can I not here
suggest one of the practical results of in
difference to Christ’s message? Assuredly
there could scarcely be found any more
explicit statement made by our Lorxl than
His solemn declaration that the marriage
tie is severed by death only. Yet, our
civil courts daily grind out divorces, and
Christian ministers ore too busy in inves
tigating some abstruse question, such os
antecedent damnation oF the improbabil
ity of some sV’Hpture ‘slory, to give a
thought to this dreadful evil.
If the theory of indifference to creeds
bo correct, then where Is the difference
between Buddhism. Mohammedanism,
Paganism and Christianity. Is there n
difference before God? Does God care
whether we believe what He has said,
reject it, or are indifferent to it?
Many creeds may nee*J revision, but
they should not. A creed w'hich is not
true to-day, was false three hundred years
ago. A creed which needs revision teffs
of a purely human origin and never had
and never could have-binding force on con
science; and yet men have been expelled
from various sdets,' because of opinions
not in cofiformfiy with these creeds.
Time was wlifm cftir friends, outside t ! e
camp, held Uo'the Bitde as the sole arbi
ter. l>ut, in the irony of the church
which w'as Bitterly assailed as tho en^’ -
of the Bible is the sole Chirstian b y
which stands to-day unequivocally for th
lnenancy *of sac-red scripture and its di
vine inspiration; and outside her pale
ministers are daily ass.dling the divine
character of they writing* and bv wcrl
and pen undermining the faith of the peo
ple in their authority.
A creed is a necessity. That are
rpurious creeds Is an evidence of ih • ex
istence of a genuine on. If a creed
of divine origin, its acceptance is a bouni
en duty; its reaction a d.-ad y sin. The
proper at tit ude Vf Ipm is to discover
where thi ere® is. Then, his duty is
plain.
But, is a man honest who. having eur>-
serU*d to a creed, gradually passes from
doubt to rejection, and continues in the
ministry of the sect which retains it?
Is a man honest who no longer believes
in the divine lnenancy of holy seripi ur ‘
and yet continues preaching from the Bi
ble as though he believed it to be an in
spired work?
Is a man honest who preaches doctrines
which he knows are not in accord w i h tho
formularies of his church?
Once more, permit me to correct your
misleading headlines. A creed mapr be In
danger. The creed cerbdnly is not.

I’retty Show Window.
A motherly hen scratching for a brood
of vigorous little chickens in the show
window of Jno. T. Evans & Cos. Is attract
ing a great (leal of attention.
The hen, nest, eggs and all were moved
from a poultry yard just before the eggs
were to be hatched and the chickens were
hatched out in the show windows. To
most people it was a novel proceeding. Tho
little fellows are running tiround lively
and seem to he perfectly contented.
Scotch ntttl Irish Whiskies.
The finest Imported from Scotland and
Ireland are to be had from Lippman
I Brotheia. They ate imported by that firm
| in bottles from tne distilleries in Scotland
■ and Ireland. And if you want the cele
brated Ola Highland Scotch whiskey, or
the Wheeler Irish whiskey, call on Lipp
mar# Brothers for It.
This firm hat# decided to sell all Imported
wines and liquors al retail, which we think
is quite an acquisition for our Savannah
! consumers.
Lippman Brothers have something espe
cially nice from Scotland called Cherry
whiskey, Imported from Rutherford of
Leith, Scotland, and we are safe In saying
nothing like this has ever been imported
In these parts before. It has th<; most
delightful cherry flavor, and the whiskey
Is not of the strongest type.—ad.

Extract from u I.etter Dated Granite*
vllle, S. 0., Aug. an, ■ SNU.
At the age of 60, with 25 years of active
practice, 1 am a careful observer and cau
tious In endorsing proprietary medicines,
but I can conscientiously endorse your
Johnson’s Chill und Fever Tonic as ono
of ihe best combination remedies for
Chills and Fever I have ever used, it
corrects the vitiated secretions of the liv
er. relieves costiveness, and promotes the
absorption and assimilation of food, thus
fullilllng all the Indications claimed for
it. Yours truly. T. r. EDWARDS, M. D.
Office of F. A. t.iilledae,
Verbena, Ala., Aug. 31, 1804.
Mr. A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga.:
Dear Sir—ln reply to yours of the 29th
Inst., I will say that I freely endorse alt
you or others have saHd or could ever s sy
about Johnson s Chill and Fever Tonic.
Two months ago my father, who Is 85
years old, was strloken down with Bilious
Fever, and came near (lying. I began at
onco with the Tonic, giving him a doo
every two hours. I called In our family
doctor and told him what I was doing. He
said It was the right treatment and ad
vised that X continue It. He called again
the next day and saw the effect of the
Tonic and gave nothing lilmaelf. Within,
a week my father was able to walk abous
the house. X persuaded him to take a
second bottle, and under Its use he has
grown strong. Although 85 years old on.
the 2!th of last June, he has to-day taken
a horseback ride of six mifcs unattended.
Yours very truly, F. A. GtrLLEDGE.
