A popper-corn is very email, but seasons every New York, Nov. 19.—The cham ber of commerce gave its annual banquet at Delmonico’s to-night. The president of the exchange had on his right ex-President Cleveland, and on his left Secretary Noble. Others present were Justice Miller, Gen. Sherman, Chauncey M. Depew, Con gressman McKinley, Carl Scburz, Gen. O. 0. Howard, Hon. Edward J. Phelps, Senator Hiscook, Roswell P. Glower, Horace Porter and Henry Villard. President Smith, who was the tint speaker, said an international exposi tion in the United States in 1892, is an economic necessity. Intelligent foreigner!! regarded the United States as a country producing raw materials rather than manufactured articles. They should be taught that we manu facture silks, carpets and other fine fabrics. New York was the place for this exposition. The first toast, “The President of the United States,” was drunk in si* Written for tho Atlanta Journal. ' Savannah ain’t as big as Atlanta, ’ but it’s a heap more generous town. 1 I heard that they are going to in- ! vite the legislature down here every ' year. 1 hope they will, and I hope Til get to go with them again. When we got to Savannah they 1 gave us all a badge with “Guest” ! printed on it, and it carried us every- ! where free, on the street cars and all. 1 carried $5 with me and brought it all back. * The streets are nicer paved than ' they are here, and they are 4 heap 1 wider. There are more trees than : here, and a heap of pretty little parks 1 all over the city. The houses are ' older looking. I couldn’t see but a few people on the streets except our party. It look- 1 ed like they just gave the city to the legislators. There wasn’t any ladies , on the streets at all, hardly. They seemed to stay in the houses. In.lhe south part of the town there is an artesian well in an old vacant lot that just bubbles right up out jof the ground and makes a little branch that runs into the river. It flows 3,600,000 gallons a day, and they don’t use a bit. It hasn’t been long dug. 1 The river looks like it is about three times as wide as the Chattahoochee, and just as far up as you can zee there arc lines of ships. All kinds of flags of all nations were all over the ships, and the sailors were nearly all foreign ers. They haven’t got any dummies or electric cars in Savannah—nothing but just common old street cars, and ne- ' groes drive them and whitej men col lect the fares. When they were driving us j around town in carriages, everybody Watched us just like a circus procession. The policemen just jumped around and kent the crowd back, and the school children came to the windows to see us go by, One big grocery store had all its goods arranged in front of its store, and had drays just pulling back and draymen hollering and just ratstog cain as we went by. They tried to gull us Atlanta fellows and make us think they were that busy all the time, but we caught on, and they didn’t fool us much. They haven’t got any front yards in Savannah, but every little houes looks like it takes up a block. I don’t know where the yards are. When we got on the ship Nachoo- che to go to sea, there was a big crowd on the wharf to see us off. <j)ne leg islator got left. He rushed up just as we were sailing off, so he got a ne gro to row him out in a bateau, and they let down a rope and pulled him up. On the ship the waiters- were all white men, and the dining room was lust like it is in a big hotel. Hie par- ors are just like they are in real hous es. At first it was fun, just as nice as and as pleasant as it could be, oqtji when we got out about five miles on the ocean it began to feel bad, and it was the meanest, worst feeling I ever I had. I was just miserable, but when I got used to it, add began togetoviF a it, I was as happy at l everwas. Tuesday night they gave us a big Store than all other condiments, although 'Us ' sprinkled thinner; Just so a little woman Is, If .Love will lot you win her.

The second toast, “Our honorary members,” was responded to by ex- President Cleveland, who said that the business of the country was Its lifeblood. Those who understood its laws, and their operation, were better able to perform their duties as citi zens, than they otherwise coulJ. Good government was best measured by business tests. Hence the greater number of business men who ure en gaged in administering the affairs of state, the greater will be the efficiency of tho government.

Mr. Cleveland stated that there was an abundance of good material available which is now going to waste Many of the evils of publio life would, 'in his opinion, speedily disappear, if business men would take greater in terest in public affairs.

All of them make “spoils” their first object, and it is gradually being in stilled into the public mind that the proper reward of the government for service and devotion of its sous is sordid lucre rather than the pleasing of freedom and the protection it was created to bestow upon them. When A case has just been re corded, however’ where, by the united efforts on the part of the press and people of Cedar Rapids, la., 1,000,- ooo postage stamps were collected.
