Savannah is one of the coming great cities in the .South. Her future was never brighter. Parnell refuses to resign the leader ship of the Irish in Parliament. His action will hurt the cause. Congress meets agaiu this week The mourners will occupy the seals on the republican side of the bouse. Congress is again in session. Il was called ;to order at noon yesterday. And Tommie Reed is wielding his lit tle gavel again. Hut he will soon hive to drop it. The chances are that Zeb \ ance will pull through in North Carolina, but Hampton's chances in .South Carolina do not appear to he very good. We hope Wade Hampton will not he ignored by his state. Cairo, not to be out done by Washington City, has established a congress of her own. We hope they will not elect a Reed for speaker. Cairo’s congress will meet every two weeks. Bills will be introduced, dis cussed, and passed or defeated. They will hardly pass any pension bills. The railway bridge across the Mississippi at Memphis will be com pleted iu 1801, for the last caisson of the Memphis bridge lias been finished and the iron and woodwork will now progress rapidly. This will he one of the most mag nificent bridges on the great river. Claude Hazzel, the Bold Spring correspondent of ihe South West Georgian, is gct.ing into trouble. Hear him: “About the hardest thing that we ever did was to try to spark two girls at once and preserve a good average.” How happy could he be witli either were ’tother charmer away.

Of Importance to Engaged People. “Lovers’ stationery” has been iutro duced among romantic circles in the United States. The paper is of a ("delicate pink, and the watermark T consists of two hearts pierced by an nrrow. At the bottom of the last .page is a round blot about the size of a quarter—the kissing spot—where the writer presses his or her lips and sends a loving salute to the receiver, who is bound to kiss the same spot. A thin coat ot aromatic gum covers the place devoted to osculation. Some Views of Mr. Mills. Representative Mills, of Texas, did a great deal of campaign work during a few months immediately precceding the recent election. He is now in Washington, giving lii.s friends the result of his experiences. Hesaysthat lie does not intend to accept a re-elec tion to the House, and will retire to private life at the cud of tile Fifty- second congress, unless his state sends him to the Senate. lie is satisfied that tiie McKinley bill was the main cause ot the recent democratic victory, and that the dent ocrats will retain for a long time the majority of the voters of the country. He says that the talk about the alii ance becoming a third party is all nonsense. In the next national cam paign the party lines will be drawn strictly between tlie democrats and re publicans, and Cleveland will, iu all probability, lie the standard bearer of the democrats, and Blaine of the re publicans Speaking of tl.e sub-treasury hill, Mr. Mills said: “It is idle to talk of the sub-treasury hill. The democrat ic party can never, as long as it exists, which will he as long as it is true to S'.rict constructionist ideas, endorse such an unconstitutional scheme. Mr. Tildcn, in his letter to the Iroquois Club, stilted the principal of the dem ocratic party in one sentence: "The general government should do nothing for the state iv liich the state can do for itself, and uo government should do anything for^he individual which he can do for himself.” We ought never to go away from the doctrine. The democratic party believes that the citizen is able to take care of him self and run his own finances. We propose to let him do it and keep as far away from paternalism as possible.” It is probable that less will be heard of the sub-treasury bill in the Fifty- second congress than lias been or will be heard in this. The alliance lead ers know that it is not a practicable measure. It 1ms been pushed-to the front for certain purposes which, as far as they can be, has'been’aecotnplished. It aided some alli.incemen to get into Congress. But they were, aud still are, B ncere in their demand for it.

Pin No cotton They are Passing Away. Gen. John 11. Gordon, in a recent speech at Millen, Ga., closed with the following pathetic words. “If the peo ple are really tired of soldiers and want a candidate of some other sort you need not be long in finding him, but to all who fee! that way, let not your hearts be troubled by the pres ence of old soldiers or generals; they will not be in your way or any other man’s way much long- r. There is a silent reaper more po verful than poli tical plotters whose scythe is gradually mowing down those brave old veter ans and removing them to that ever lasting camping giound beyond the silent river.” Wait a little while lon ger and the last hero of the great ar mies of Lee and Johnson, of Jackson and Hood, will be out of your way. They will soon be gone—transferred to another field and before another tribunal, where truth and honor and fidelity to principle will be fully reeog- n zed. a i I where there w II be no bar. riers against courage and self-sacrifi cing devotion to the Confederate cause, or against the brave old warri ors who served and suffered, and who cheerfully offered their blood and lives at the call of conscience and of coun try.” Is guaranteed to be made adsolutely of hogs fat seed oil or beef tallow.

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 28.—Senator O’Neil is quite sick at the Kimball hoiue with an attack of rheumatism. Give the Poor and Laborers a Chance. The Augusta Chronicla fays: A hill now pending before the Georgia Legislature would prevent the running of excursion trains and the giving of excursion ratPs on Sun day. This would affect many people in Augusta who arc in the habit of spending the day at Tybce during the heated term. Kvory week dur ing the summer large crowds take advantage of cheap tates to the coast, and Sunday is the only day the work ingman can make this trip. Such a law would work a real hardship down here. The rich man can take his out ing and stay a month nt the seaside. But the poor man must wait for the excursion rate and the Suwlay sched ule. § m © * 0 Eh a hS & CD GQ § o 0 T- T. cSs SZEBO’S-, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL GROCERS. 11 (i d 5ni ESTABLISHED 1841 OPERA HOUSE WEDNESDAY, DEC. 3rd.
