The review of Savannah's huetoes* (or
the hurl ness year of 1899-1900. whkti we
present this morntnjt. shows that the
year was one of the most prosperous in
the city's history. Business was active
In about every line, und the volume of It
was considerably greater than that of the
previous year. It Is true that there mi
a falling off of a few thousand bakw
fn the cotton receipts, m comparison with
the previous year’s receipts, but tha: was
owing to the shortness of the crop. A*
a master of fact the pen-outage of the
crop which Savannah received. was con
flderably greater than that of the pre
vious year, showing that Ik.vannah It
more than holding her own a* a cotton
port, anil that ehr V te*.l!ly widening
the area from which she draws cotton.
The naval store* receipt* were targe
as were also thoee of lumber. The high
prices received for cotton during the
gnwter part of the year, and the eac*l
lent prices which naval stores command
ed, and the high price* which lumber
brought, up to Jutii* last, mode trade In
all lines of merchandising very active. The
wholesale grocery and dry gootki house#
he! a hotter business than ever before,
and II Is safe o ay that they srreatly
wldrnrel ihear spheres of influence. All
of the railroads entering the city showed
lucre,iced earnings, ‘bring to the good
prtrm which (arm product* brought there
was s great deal of money In circulation
In the country, ami consequently the
country nicer hunt a were good customers
of (he city'# wholesale house*. There
was therefore a noticeable increase in
the volume of freight*. That I* on# of
the reasons why the earning* of the rail
roads showed up wo well.
The increase In railroad traffic, and In
the volume of business, offered additional
opportunities for labor, and consequently
throughout the year there were very
few Idle people, except those who wished
to lie Idle. There was pieniy of work al
good wage*, and as a result the retail
merchant* were well satisfied with the
vwr'a bud new* in their respective linos.
When the demon*l for labor t* strong they
are bound to prosper.
There was, throughout the year, marked
activity In real estate. There was a
willingness to pay fair price* for build
ing lots, and tbe number of houses erect
ed wa* Lirge. The steady growth which
•he city haw hail for year* wan well
maintained Probably the sudden rise In
prices of building materials, which oc
curred some month* ago. checked build
ing somewhat for a short time, hut the
demand for dwelMngii, together with more
moderate price* for building materials,
soon stave building contractor* about nil
the work they could do.
The terminal of the Men hoard Air Line
on Hutchinson's Island is the most nota
ble Improvement of the year. very
targe amount of money has been spent
upon It, and It provides faculties for
ha lulling a large amount of commerce.
A notable Improvement of the present
year la the projected union depot. Work
will be begun fti It within a couple of
months, and It Is probable that within
another year Bavannah will have the lin
eal union railroad de|t In the South.
Mince the Isas annual review the South
rn Hallway has come Into flavsnnan.
There la no doubt that It will contribute
a great deal to the elty'a business and
prosper!!>', With such firms of commerce
se the Central of Georgia Hallway, the
Plant System, the Seaboard Alr Line and
the Southern Hallway. Savannah ought
to prosper greatly, and rapidly Increase
In population ami wealth.
The eenana will show that her popula
tion has Increased about 2T. per cent, since
IW. That Is not a phenomenal Increase.
Still, |t is about the average of American
cUle*. It tndienten a healthy and steady
growth. Savannah has never been a
loom town. Her progress has been stead ,
however, and her growth solid. The thing
she nereis Just now more than anything
else la • little more public spirit from tier
cKlxen*. If they will but work harmo
niously. energetically and sincerely to

coming a large city.
THE PI.AGI'B SCARE.
There have been reports of the finding
of plague cases In London, but Investi
gation has shown that they were without
foundation. The health authorities of that
city do not appear to be In the least
alarmed about the disease. They hvlteve
they will be able to keep It from getting
a foothold there. They state that they
have taken every reasonable precaution
against It.
The flrat of the known case* In Glasgow
was discovered a* far back a* last June,
It seems that n woman, who was living
alone In a poor neighborhood of the city,
died and her body was not discovered for
a week or more. There were rats In the
house, and the theory Is that they carried
the Infection ahout.
A woman named Dixon, who was em
ployed to clnan the house, was taken 111
and carried to the hospital. Two of her
frlfod* who visited her were stricken with
Illness and died. Over one of them a wake
wa* held, and those who were present
carried the Infection to a number of local
ities. There arc quite a number of sus
plelous cases In Glasgow—a hundred or
more—but tha health officers feel confi
dent that they have the disease under
control.
No cases of sickness suggesting the
plague have been found on the City of
Rome or tha State of Nebraska, two
steamers which recently arrived In New
Y'ork harbor from a point on the Clyde,
near Olasgow. A sufficient length of time
has elapsed since they left their Clyde
anchorage for the disease to develop If
there were any germs of It present.
There Is no a pprehenston on the part
of the health officials of New Y’ork that
the disease will reach that city. Every
precaution Is being taken to prevent It
from getting a lodgment there.
A dispatch from Havana notes that the
yellow fever In that city Is practically con
fined to the ftpantsh colony. Neither the
American* nor lhe native Cubans seem to
be troubled In Ihe least. Another pecu
liarity is that the quarters which are af
fected ore among the beet and most
fashionable In the clly. white Ihe “slums"
are comparatively exempt from Infection
The explanation offered Is that the sani
tary work has been morn thorough In the
“slums” than In the better residence sec
tions; the inspectors have forced ihe clean
ing of tha former, white more leniency has
been shown la the latter.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY; SEFTEMBER 7. MOO.
THE RATIONAL PARTY.
YVhat sort of a flgurs will the National
party—the party which wa* born In Car
negie HalL New York, on Wednesday
cut In tha presidential campaign? There
are some lwmocrats ands number of
Republicans who feel that they cannot
j oooacieotloueiy support either Mr. Bryan
j.r Mr. McKinley. They will be able to
I -ailsfy iheir conaclencts by voting for
j Donald Caffery of l-nulslana
Mr Caffery Is a Gold Democrat, but
he Is not In sympathy with the Republican
i policy In reaps, t to th# Philippine* and
| I’orto Rico. Me upholds the gold stand
ard. but Is against trusts, subsidies, col
onies and undeserved pension*. There are
' quite a number of voters In different part*
of Ih# country who hold th* twine politi
cal views that he doss No doubt they
will glvs him a hearty support.
But how many volt a will lie poll? That
I* a question about which there Is likely
to he a great deal of speculation. It can
he safely said that he will not poll any
where near a* many votes as Gen Palm
er did In 1996. Gen Palmer represented tha
Gold Democrats. There were let.Cl votes
east for Utm. If Mr. Caffery geta half as
many be will be fortunate. This year the
only tickets that will attract much at
tention are th* Democratic and Republi
can. Pretty nearly all of those who voted
for Hen. Palmer four year* ago have
about made up their minds to vote either
one or the other of thee* ticket*. Even
the ticket of the Middle-of-the-Road Pop
ulists will not poll nearly so many votes
as that wing of the Populists Is counting
upon
It Isa *-tf* over! id ton that the National
party will be heard of only seldom dur
ing ihe campaign Mr. Caffery may make
a few speeches and he and his ticket may
get an occasional mention In th# newspa
pers, but the attention of the great mass
of the people I* too closely occupied with
the contest between Mr. Bryan and Mr.
McKinley to bother much with a side
show.
THE (HOKUM-HILL FBt'D.
The bitter fight between Mr. Croker,
the Tammany leader, and ex-Hen* tor HIM.
Is Interesting New York politicians great
ly. In faut. It 1* Interesting th* whole
country, because the Democrats entertain
a hope of carrying New York for Mr.
Bryan. Their hope Is. of course, baaed
largely on securing harmony in the ranks
of the Democracy of that state.
On I-abor Day Mr. Hill made a speech
at Troy. N. Y . In which he drew n pic
ture of commercialism and hoesism In
politics, which attracted general atten
tion. It was a very skilful effort, and.
although he mentioned no names. It was
understood that he aimed at Mr. Croker.
Whether he dhl or not Mr. Croker thought
he did. and he freely expressed his opin
ion of Mr. Hill. He called him names,
and belittled him In every possible way
he oouM.
Naturally Mr. Croker and Mr. Hill are
further apart than they were a week
ago. und they were so far apart then that
there ssi very little possibility of their
acting together during Ihe present cam
paign for the good of the party.
It Is thought by many that, al
though Mr. Hill Is urging the nomination
of Mr. Coler for Governor, bis real can
didate Is Mayor McGuire of Syracuse.
His aim Is snld to be to bring Mr. Coler
inlo (imminence as a gubernatorial candi
date. only for the purpose of making him
an Independent Candida le for Mayor of
New York next spring. If >lr. Coler
were to become Mayor of New York, be
could, nml no doubt would, put an end
to Mr. Croker’e political power In that
city.
The attitude of Mr. Croker and Mr. Hill
towards each other Is greatly to be re
gretted. because R lessens Ihe chances
of the Democrats for carrying the ssat*
for Mr. Hryan. Mr. Bryan'e Interests
will be sacrificed lr. the struggle between
these two leaders for ascendency.
THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
There is no doubt, of course, as to how
thi elate will vote In the October or the
November election. SHU. It I* Important
for the honor of the Democratic parly
and political Influence of the state that
a full vote should be polled at both elec
tions. Arrangements are now being made
foe an energetic campaign Speakers are
to be sent through the state and cam
paign dubs are to be formed In each
county. The Governor opened the cam
paign a day or two ago at Cuaarta- He
Is a tlrst-ciaos campaigner, and hi*
speeches are heard with pleasure and
profit.
Mr. dußlgnon, as chairman of th* State
Executive Commute* will aee to It that
the best speaker* that the state afford*,
or that can be Induced to visit th state,
assist In lmprc**tug upon the people the
neoeselty for political activity and for
voting. The one objection to the primary,
though It applies only to state elections.
Is that II make* Ih# people comparatively
Indifferent about voting at the regular
elect lona.
However. It I* certain that In the coun
tie* in which the Populists are active
there will he a full Democratic vot* polled.
The Democrats to those counties will not
let the election go. practically, by default.
There are only a few counties In Ihe
stale In which the Populists are strong.
No doubt Mr. dußlgnon will pay particu
lar attention to these counties. Not only
should Democratic clubs be formrd In
(hem. but speeches by Ihe best speakers
should be made and campaign literature
should be freely distributed. In other
counties In which Populist and Repub
lican opposition la weak Democrats should
exert themeelvea lo get out a large Dem
ocratic vote. As the empire state of the
South. Georgia has a pride In sending
her presidential electors to the Electoral
College supported by a big Democratic
majority.
A statcmetrt giving a summary of
•mount of wage* paid by the railroad* of
thla country to their emrloy** last year,
In comparison with ihe amount paid flv
year* ago, ha* been published by the Rail
way and Telegraph Employes' League of
IMlnolr. The statement show* that last
year employes of American railway*,
from general officer* to section hand*,
received In the aggregate wage* amount
ing to ISr.SB7.HW. being an Increase of *77.-
155.835 over IKK- Of <h great Increase
the general officers took lees than three
rpmrtera of a million dollars, leaving the
remainder to la distributed among en
gineers, conductors.' brakemen and other
employes. The showing Illustrates Hie
I rosperlty of the railroads consequent
aion the heavy freight movements whit 1
came with good crops and improved bust
nge conditions.
The race question I* racking th* town
of Columbia. Pa The town provided a
separate * bool for negro children, with
building and teachers a* good aa those
provided for white children But that doe#
not suit Ih* negroes. They demand to
have ihelr young one* go into the school
room* end alt with th* white children
Many while parents have taktn their chil
dren away from ihe school* because the
commissioner* have not had the backbone
to fore* th* ntgroeo to patronise the
schools provided for them. Borne trouble
growing out of th# matter Is expected.
II seems that there la a conatderabl* ne
gro vote In Columbia, hence the school
authorities are afraid to antagonise th*
black*.
The prohehlltilew are that the t’ntled
States government will eoon he vexed with
a multitude of claims and counter-claims
between Dub* and Porto Rico which It
will be expected to straighten out and see
satisfied In some manner—even If ll has to
pay the hill* Itself. Porto Rico Is now
claiming that Cuba owes her some 12.990,-
090 for money advanced In I*7l-7* for Ih*
purpoor of putting down the rebellion In
the latter Island, and has sent her hill to
Washington to be collected. Cuba will
prohahiy claim that the debt was contract
ed by Spain, and therefore ought not to
he saddled upon her. Meanwhile Cuba ha*
some claims against Porto Rico which she
would Uke lo have Uncle Bam collect for
her.
The New York State Republican Con
vention seem* to have been somewhat In
the nature of a love feast. The bo*a. Sen
ator Pint, and hi* lieutenant* made up
the slate, and the deegates voted It
through a* slick as a whistle. And not
only that, but the boss had the aaitafac
tlon of seeing tx-Gov. Black and other
politicians who have been camping out
side the breastworks for the past two
years, coma back into the rank* and ac
knowledge themselves th# servants of the
machine. The fight In New York this year
la going to be close, hard and pretty. Both
parties will go Into It “for blood."
Those Republican* who were looking to
Vermont for straws to show which way
the political wind was blowing were no
doubt disappointed In what they got.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Columbia (8. C.) Stats (Dem ) says:
"The causes of Charleston's halting dur

The New York Journal of Commerce
(Ind.) saya: “Our report on Southern cot

Do Yet Mtmli Geography.
Engllsmen know little of th* geography
of th* "states." and what little they do
know doe* not object to putting Phila
delphia next door to Boston, or San Fran
cteco alonawtdo of New York, says th#
Youth'* Companion. An American and an
Englishman who had become friend#
aboard ship had a pleasant encounter
ahout distance* on reaching New York.
They breakfasted together and the fol
lowing conversation ensued;
"I guess m turn out to see Harry after
breakfast." raid the Englishman.
"Harry?" queried the American, aoftly.
"Yea. my brother." explained ihe Eng
lishman 'T've two here. Harry live* in
San Francisco and Charles In Chicago."
"But you'll he back to dinner?" face
tiously asked the American.
The Britisher took him seriously.
"Bure for dinner. If not for lunch." lie
answered. And accompanied by his friend,
now thoroughly alive lo Ihe humor of the
Incident, he found hlmrelf a fw minute#
later In Ihe line of ticket buyers In the
Orand Central station.
"An excursion ticket to Bsn Francisco.
stopping at Chicago station on return."
he ordered.
The ticket agent put about a quarter of
a mile of pasteboard under his stamp,
pounded It for a minute or more, thrust
It before the explorer, and expectantly
awaited payment.
"When does ihe train go?" aaked the
Englishman.
“In ten minutes." wa* the answer.
“How much I* It?"
“One hundred and thlrty-etght dollar*
and fifty cents."
"What?" the Englishman gasped. How
far Is It r*
"Three thousand miles."
"Dear me! What a country!"
W aa Not Thief.
Once, when he first came to London nnd
tvoe laying the foundation of hi* great
career, th# future Lord Chief Justice went
to the pit of u Theater, eaya a London
paper. The piece wa* popular, the pit
was crowded and the young advocate had
unl\ standing room All .fa sudden n
man at hie ndo cried out the* hie watch
was stolen. Mr. Russell and two other
men were hemmed In.
"It is one of you three!" cried Ihe man
minus the waich.
"Well, we had halier go out and l>e
searched." aekt Mr. Russell, with the
alertness of mind that did not fall him
at a trying moment amid an excited
crowd. A detective wa* at hand and the
suggestion was accepted As Mr.nusaell
milked out the Idea flashed through hi*
clod that If the man behind him had the
stolen property he would probably try to
aeorete R in the pocket of his front rank
man. Quick as though hr drew his coat
tails about him—only to feel, to hi* hor
ror. something large and smooth and
round already In hi* pocket. While he
whs still wondering wh.it this might mean
for him the detective energetically seised
the hindmost man. exclaiming. "Whai.
you rascal, at It again?" To Mr. Russell
arc! the other man he apologised and
bade them go free. But Mr. Russell, be
fore he had token many steps, reflected
that he could not keep the watch. He
went back to the box office and explain
ed. with a courage on which he nfter
watxl said he rarely experienced greatet
demand*, that though he did not take the
watch be had It. So aaylng. he put his
hand Into his pocket and pulled out—a
forgotten snuffbox.
Os and Itrsiare.
Ths man who advertised: "We mourn
the loss of our illustrious father, but we
still sell penis at *3.80 and up." represent*
a class of tradesmen who appreciate the
value of advertising, says the New York
Tribune. The latest addition to their
number Is a cltlsen of Alabama, who
utilised an "engagement notice" to call
attention to Ihe fact that he was "the
Inventor of the ehamplop suspender
buckle." This Innovation In the style of
advertising may lead to a radical change
In matrimonial notices, and we may soon
bam through that medium of the en
gagement of "Dr. John Smith, who makes
diseases of the throat a specially, and
never charges a cent until the patlefi* ha*
been cubed." or of "Thomas Rrown/who
ho* been nominated for Ihe office of al
derman. and who promises. If elected, to
remember bis friends." or of "Moses
Cohn, who hae Just received anew line
of hardware at his plac* of business In
Essex etrsat." Death notices also, which
have varied very Utile In atyle for many
yenr. and which at best are cheerless,
might be reformed In 'keeping with the
Idea* of the suspender buckle Inventor
by the Introduction of a dash of business
vivacity. The possibilities In this direc
tion are great, and when the system has
become established It should unquestion
ably be credited to the enterprising ben
edict from Alabama
The Rraveat Man.
Who Is the bravest man In the f’nlted
States, asks the New York Press. If some
one would kindly die and leave £.OOO lo
him it Is possible that he mlghl he dis
covered, though the search would be long
and arduous. This sort of thing was irltd
In England by the Rev Mr. Narcroaa of
Kramllngham. whose will bequeathed (£OO
to the bravest man In the country. Bir
James Matdonnel got Ihe prise for clos-
Ing the gate* of Hougomonl. which won
Ihe battle of Waterloo for the English. •
but he insisted on dividing It with his !
sergeant. John Ora ham. who helped him
in that heroic act The Duke of Welling- i
