It ih said the European diplomats at
Washington have instituted a social
boycott against the repreaentatlres of
the Latin American republics.
The department of state has been offi
cially informed of the acceptance by the
government of China of the invitation to
participate in the World’s Columbian ex
position.
Cable dispatches from the European
financial centres indicate a alight release
from the strain of the past few days, but
telegraphic communication with Lisbon
is said to be impeded.
Tiie senatorial contest in Florida re
mains unchanged. Roth sides seem to
be unyielding. The legislature may ad
journ without an election. In that case, ,
A BOARD OP TKADK.
Waycross has set Amcrlcus an ex
ample of progress that It will be well to
imitate.
On Thursday a board of trade was
temporarily organized, and another
meeting will be held at an early day for
the purpose of permanent organization,
when it is expected that every business
man in the city will be present. A copy
of the by-laws of the board of trade of
Savannah and other places has been ap
plied for, for the guidance of organiza
tion.
The question of a board of trade has
been quietly discussed often among our
merchants, but no active steps have yet
been taken.
Shall our little wiregrass neighbor set
a pattern for the metropolis of south
west Georgia, that we haven't the enter
prise to follow ?
We should have led off in this matter;
but better late than never.
Wlmt say such live merchants as G.
W. Glover, John K.. Shaw, Thornton
Wheatley, I\ C. Clegg, A. Rylander,
Geo. D. Wheatley, Butler Jc Berry, and
in fact tbe whole list of Americas mer
chants ?
Xobody questions for a moment the
advantage of such an organization; in
fact, merchants from other cities ex
press surprise that we can get along at
all without a board.

LlKUTEN ANT-Go VEBNOK JONES, Of
New York, is confined to his home In
Binghampton by a severe cold. Ills

however, and hope to have him on his

be called upon to “pay the freight" to
the doctors.
Thk Albany News and Advertiser is

stated, will be Secretary Noble's sue

ham News suggest* that he la a very ob-

"who had the oats.” Anybody would
do for Noble’s successor, It matter* not
how obscure, he could not make a more
complete failure than the present secre

Toe Itev. Dr, Culpepper, the evangel
ist, in inveighing against the sin of Sab
bath breaking, at the big meeting now
in progress in Atlanta, put* down among
the .ins of this claaa the drinking of
nods water. Doesn't this smack too
much of the Connecticut blue taws to
•eult the liberal Christianity of the pres-
•entf The millenium will have come
when nobody does anything worse than
drink soda water on 8unday.
Mr. Blaine's sickness in New York
brings to mind the fact that he has never
been strong since his return from Europe
to enter Precldent ilarri»on!a. cabinet,
and his friends seriously doubt that he
will be able to stand the strain of a
presidential campaign. But If Mr.
Blaine's health will permit; be will
hardly allow this opportunity to gratify
his old ambition to pass without an
effort to capture the long sought' prize.
It short be assumed from some of
President Harrison's touring speeches
that he is really a friend of free trade
and broader markets. But so also it
might be assumed from his letter of ac
ceptance In 1888 that he was a real friend
of civil-service reform, If only wo could
shut our eye* to nil that has since taken
place. Experience reveals a difference be
tween promise and performance that
forbid forming conclusions in Mich mat

Dr. Ford, of St Louis, who was a
delegate to tbe Southern Baptist con

Roman Catholic newspaper war now
raging. He accept, the challenge of

Father Daley proposed that he would
meet Dr. Holt, of Texas, with uo one
present but a stenographer. Dr. Holt
has'gone, and Dr. Ford takes up the
gauntlet. He proposes that tlio Catho
lic bishop select a man and the Baptist
church one. Father Daley will be

timo to prepare to push it and compass
new fields. Amcrlcus lias a great com'
mercial future ahead of it provided our
merchants continue to show that push
and enterprise which have heretofore
characterized them. Shall Americus

occasion calls for renewed efforts and
activity? To resolve Is to act, and to
act is to achieve, so let’s have the board
of trade. ! •'
A FINANCIAL VACUUM.
The alliancemen will perhaps be less
anxious to link farming operations with
the treasury now that there ia nothing
in the National strong box. Of what

The new* from Italy of Kudini’a ap
peal to the European powers dor a con
demnation of our system of government
is accompanied by the information that
about 1,400 Italians sailed on Friday
from Naples to the United States. Itu-
dlnl complains that the Federal govern
ment cannot compel a state to punish
a mob for killing some refugees from
Italian justice At the same time a very
large number of tbe Italian people are
expressing their preference for this
country, and are coming here while
their government is insisting that no
Italian’s life is safe in tbe Republic.
There is a seeming Inconsistency in this,
and an interesting subject for reflection,
.While tbe Italian government la assert
ing that foreign powers should compel
the United States to proteot aliens
against the wrath of mobs, the aliens
are seeking a home here beyond tbe ju
risdiction of the foreign powers. Erl-
tdently the alien* prefer the free hazard
of life in America to tbe armed security
of monarchical Europe.
American ingenuity teem* to have
wonaalgoal victory in the matter of
armor-plato. There has been another
trial of plates, and once more tbe plate
composed of stool containing an alloy of
nickel has best withstood the projectiles
fired against it. But at tho trial which
took place at Annapolis on Friday of
last week plates wero tested which
were treated by a process of super
ficial carbonization, the invention of
H. A. Ilarvoy, of Newark, N. J.
Tiie pure steel plate was smashed to
pieces. The stoel plate treated with tbe
process withstood better, but the treated
nickle-steel plate came out of the trial
practically uninjured, the projectiles be
ing broken. The great value of this pro
cess consists In tiie fact that the carbon
ization takes placo of weight, so that,
for instance, a ship will be just as well
protected by its use with 25 per cent, of
the weight of metal. Tlds will make it
possible to greatly iuc^ease tho coal ca
pacity and other accommodations.—New
York World.
BISHOP OAII.OK.
The Episcopal convention has been in
session in Savannah for the past two
days to make a choice for bishop of the
diocese of Georgia. After due consider
ation and the most intelligent and
searching inquiries into the capabilities
and characteristics of the several church
men who were presented as eligible to
fill this divinoly responsible position,
the convention almost unanimously con
ferred the bishopric upon Dr. Thomas
Gaiior, chancellor Sewance University,
Tennessee. All Georgia is more or less
Interested in the man who is to take tbe
place of the late lamented Bishop Beck
with, and will rejoice to know that the
new bishop is most worthy of the trust.
He will hold the faith, and will govern
with love, wisdom and justice.
Dr. Gaiior Is a Mississippfan,wss born
in Jackson, and is now 34 years old.
The Georgia churchmen could not have
chosen a more worthy aud distinguished
man. He is a learned, consecrated and
energetic churchman, universally be
loved by all who know biro. Dr. Gaiior
is possessed of wonderful magnetism;
one cannot converse with him without
boiDg impressed with tho grea tness of
his mind, heart and soul. Ho is a man
tiiat speaks from the heart alone, and
nevor fails to win the hearts of others
to his own.
Tennessee must reluctantly part witli
this genial, social, talented divine.
Georgia is certainly to bo congratulated
on her selection of a bishop.
AN AUVKICTISINO HINT.
The New Orleans Now Delta thinks of
tbe merchants generally who advertise
their business, hut few of them regard
advertising as a part of their business—
that is, thoy do not put business meth
ods and business brightness into their
advertising. Judjclous.advertising pays
every time, and he who knows how to
advertise judiciously is a better
equipped business min than is his mer
chant neighbor who does not know
when or how to advertise. A striking
advertisement wllF run the gamut of
popular attention and get into the air
like a popular song. Advertisements
have become as familiar os household
words, and remained advertisements
long after they bad disappeared from
newspaper columns and from advertising
billboards.
One of the most formidable iron clads
afloat is the Esmeralda of the Chilian
navy, now in the control of the insur
gent faotion, which seems about to get
the best of the regular, or rather irregu
lar government of Chili. The Esmer
alda la the escort of the Itata which late
ly got a cargo of munitions of war at
San Francisco and put to sea with a
United States marshal who had gone
aboard to put tbe captain under arrest.
This action 1s a casus belli, and tbe
United States has started tiie Charles
ton in pursuit. It Is probable that tbe
cruiser Charleston may have a chance to
try her - strength with the renowned
Chilian iron clad Esmeralda. It is
thought that the Esmeralda ia at the
Mexican port of Acapulco waiting for
tbe steamer Itata. If the Charleston
doea not overtake the Itata before tbe
latter, can place herself under the pro
tection of the Esmeralda it will be diffi
cult for her to avoid a battle with the
formidable iosurgent iron clad. It ia
tbe Impression in Washington that the
Charleston's orders aro to retake the
Itata under any circumstanoes if the can
be found. The Charleston and the Es
meralda are pretty evenly matched. Tbe
guns of the former aro of a newer pat
tern, but the difference in the size of the
two vessels is not so great as to give the
Charleston much advantage.
In his Buffalo speech Mr. Cleveland
set forth with remarkable clearness the
dangers arising from profligacy in na
tional appropriations. Asfds from the
waste of monoy whioh involves an un
necessary burden of taxation upon the
people he showa that inch extravagance
has a tendency to foater and encourage
corruption in the administration of
every department of the government.
What the peoplo of the oountry chiefly
admire about Cleveland iathat he always
hot well grounded opinions upon evory
subject and he can always assign a good
reason for them.—Savannah Newa.
