The fondness said to exist be¬
tween Weyler and his soldiers, does
not strike us as unnatural. We
have seen jungle tigers and their
cubs manifesting the same fierce
affection for each other. Their en-
mity and their devilish manifesta¬
tions were reserved for innocent and
defenceless prey.
Sam Jones has been reproached,
the Cartersville News, for ap-
pearing in Georgia, upon his return
irom the Hub, in the head-gear and
foot-gear of a gentleman. We fully
agree with the News that if Mr.
Jones' good taste led him to invest
in a silk hat and patent leathers, he
had a right to wear them m or out
of Georgia. It may be an innova-
tion, but when Atlanta is the hub
of the South, and Toccoa its man-
ufacturing rival, the customs of
the “effete east,” in dress and no
es,!» in other evidences ot thritt,
Ste and P ros P erit v - will need no

The Georgia cracker has
within him the elements of growth
and expansion; and he will develop

The enormous business done bv the
owners of the Suez Canal, during
the past year, and which it is said
amounted to nearly * $16,000,000 ' in
receipts, reminds us of our own
embryo— or moribund? enterprise.
Apathy, dereliction, timidity, parsi
monv, and selfishness, have charac-
terized the treatment of the Nicar-
aguaCanal Bilim Congrss through-
out. Time and again it has been
relegated to its committees, or laid
upon the table, giving place to the
of some bill to
iocal and petty measure look-
t° the relief of a coon-hunter,
the gerrymandering of a back
State “deestrict.”
State of the Country Reviewed,
A glance over the industrial
financial and commercial field,
which in this article must necessa-
rily be but kaleidoscopic .encourages
us in the belief hitherto expressed,
that the general business tone
throughout the country is steadily,
if slowly, improving; and that we
have every reason to hope for a
return of substantial prosperity in
the near future. Dun, and other
like authorities, give us cheering
reports for the past week. In Chi-
cago.the real estate market is strong,
an indication in that locality which
invariably points to better times,
The demand for secured paper ex-
ceeds last years by one-fourth.
Cattle receipts .have been enormous,
aggregating nearly a third of a
milhon head ’ and in excess of the
receipts ol t.ie corresponding week
in ’96 by 20 per cent. In Phila-
delplna, \\ alnut and Fourth and
lower Chestnut streets are astir
with a marked increase of customers
seeking outside investments. We
hope to collide w dh some
them, later on, with resulting
etLs to Toccoa and Northeast Geor-
gia. Southern trade in hardware
and stoves is brisk, a fact significant
ot activity in the jobbing trades
and in building, in Dixie. Confi-
dence in all but a few lines is no-
ticeable, and the outlook decidedly
promising. Whiskey is nimble; it
usually, however, flows
everywhere. Boston merchants are
busy with customers from every
section, many of them buying in
advance of demands which they
anticipate. The cotton mills are
active, and the same report comes
from the woolen mills. 7 ,000,000
pounds of wool were sold within
ten days, at good prices. Well,
we hope to see Habersham county
woo! growers opening accounts >»
State street some day. Money is
abundant. In Baltimore, money is
eas t »nd bills are paid promptly , a
certain evidence of better times.
Sales of steel and iron aie in some
districts unprecedented, Pittsburg
reporting about 400,000 tons of steel
rails. Money is abundant and
cheap” ^ in Louisville, ^ Memphis and
New Orleans. In spite of heavy
movements ot iron and steel m
Chicago, bank reserves in that city
are again ample to cover such paper,
a entering circumstance following
upon the late exaggerated accounts
of financial distress in the Windy
City. New \ ork banks deposited
in the clearing house nearly $2,-
000,000 in gold, making a total of
about $47,000,000 stored for emer-
f notes. For the week ending on
Saturday last, gold exports were

'
nah> wlth a population in town and
suburbs numbering perhaps 50,00x1.
j Founded in im by Oglethorpe, of
the English gentry, it has ever since
retained the characteristics of the
j original co l 0 nv, its people being
j proverbially marked for their hos-
i pitaKty> their refinement and some-
what aristocratic tendencies, their
j conservative habits and their pride
i in local traditions. Many colonial
homes remain in the city and vicin-
j t around which cluster the mem-
ories of stately times and stirring
i events. The city is one of the most
attractive in the South, the streets
being wide and finely shaded, and
^ ie architecture here and there pos-
sessing an air of quaintness which
softens the outlines of more modern
structures among which they are
recessed, many * of them with his-
tor j c recor( j s> One of the most
lovely precincts of the old city is
ancient cemetery, where cypress
an( j jj ve oak patriarchs snarled
o-io-antic and blackened bear upon
1
their hoary branches long festoons
0 f hair-like moss, gray at first but
darkening into the sable hues of
mourning, swaying back and forth
j n tbe so f t soutb , v j nd fi ke funeral
emblems over the dead. The cem-
etery is filIed with every conceivab I e
kind of headstone, some of them
dati ° back a centurv and a half .

Inters persed with th ese are ceno .
t J , mausoleums,

red marble, or granite, bearing cu-
r j ous> ornate or elegant carvings
, and qnaint or impressive inscripta.
xhe port is one of the most im-
portaut on our Atlantic seaboard.
Although nearly twenty miles above
t he mouth of the river, vessels from
ever y maritime city of the globe
have entered its harbor,which safely
accommodates ships drawing 20
feet of water. In 1 776 the city was
attacked by the English fleet, and
a serious action followed, the Brit-
being driven off. Two years
Uter they captured it, and in 1779
it was the theatre of a number of
fierce encounters between the Brit-
ish captors and the combined Ame-
rican and French fleets, the latter
being at length obliged to retire
f rom their attempts at re-capture.
l n ,864 it was again captured and
occupied by Sherman.
Since the civil war Savannah has
been one c f the most peaceful of
American cities, and in the truest
sense a typical one. Conservative
in its business methods, always
deep ly and practically interested m
educational j i and j social • i advancement, j
*
>ts influence a u has steadily «- j-, grown, at s-
! home and abroad- I‘ s growth has
been sloiv, until within a few re-
cent years, but substantial and
gratifying. There is a
personality about the city and its
families which always attracts
the visitor, and renders his stay and
experience among them
thmg *° remember q ui et plea-
sure ’ leaaing invariably the desire
to return. \\ hile other and more
pretentious cities have pursued the
policy of self-adulation, Savannah
has been a model of reserve, of pro¬
priety, of unostentation. None the
less, however, has she been pro¬
gressive, none the less alive to her
material interests. As a cotton
mart, Savannah has within the past
ten years come prominently to the
very front—annual receipts approx¬
imating about 950,000 bales. Her
commerce is estimated at $122,000,-
000. Five steamship lines divide
between them her steadily increas¬
ing trade; her five miles of wharves
are trodden by the feet of mariners
from every civilized port; her rail¬
roads converge toward every sec¬
tion of the continent; while coast¬
wise vessels and steamboat lines
supplement them with cargoes of
nee, lumber, ros.n, turpentine, cot-
ton, etc., to all of the
ing centres of the East and North.
The banking strength of Savannah
is probably greater than in any other
city in the country of like popu¬
lation ; its manufacturing facilities
are superior; its internal trade is
rapidly increasing.
The great Southern Railway sys¬
tem, which has done so much in so
j brief a time, in the midst of finan¬
cial disorders and commercial stag-
nation, to upbuild Georgia and the

time will come when our interests

Another Case of Amalgamation.
The call of the chairman of the
executive committee of the “Xa-
tional Silver” organization, for a
; meeting of the bolting republicans
of Missouri who are enrolled in its
ranks, was billed for Kansas City,
on Father George’s birthdav. The
chairman of the State Popu'hst or-
ganization also issued a call for a
meeting in the same progressive
town, the hope being expressed
that the Populists would, by shrewd
manipulation, absorb the silverites.
The platforms originallv announ-
ced by the two combines were, it is
true, neither twins norcounterparts;
But what of that r “This is an off!
year just as the last was, in political
morality, and the idea of old-fash-
ioned voters that platforms are sa-
cred pledges, is nearly obsolete,
Even with thetwo great parties, r
’
, both , of ^ which , ■ , founded , in
were
principles . . , for
or, swappmg votes
has become a matter of business,
Everything is sacrificed for ex-
pedienev. The singular admixture
of parties may lead ultimately to
the state of mind into which the
two old cronies fell, who, having
“fit in the wah,” the one as a Con-
federate and the other as a Federal
j in soldier maudlin fell upon triendship, eachother’s confessing neck
j tearfully—“God knows which side
was right.”
