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 gether for the welfare of the city, Bavan nnh tvilf show an Increase in population of 60 per cent, when the census Is taken In 1910, She has the advantage* for be 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 ing the last decade are not far to seek. The country around her. upon which ah# must depend (or the major part of her commercial sustenance, has not breti so developed ae to yield new returns The great phosphate industry has been crip pled and reduced In prollta and extent. Her aea Island cotton crop has declined. The He# Industry tributary to her has not flourished. Her wholesale trade has been In large part wrested from her by new rivals Her cotton receipts have dwindled wofully Her foreign commerce has decayed Here le an Illustration: During the flseal yoar end!hg June 29. last. Charleston’s exports were of the value of li.lE.aoo, while for the year next preceding they were E.0C0.00 This de cline great In Itself, Is accentuated by the gain* of her rivals. Savannah In the same period Increased her export* from 134.- 029.010 to ta.Z6l.iM). and Wilmington. In creased hers from 17,6*6.001 to 110.975.000. Time wua when neftlier port was to be mentioned In the same breath with Charleston. The New York Journal of Commerce (Ind.) saya: “Our report on Southern cot ton mills for August shows some In fluence of the growing quietness of the trade, but when it is considered that the domestic demand Is light Just now. and the chief foreign outlet la temnorarlly closed, an outlet to which several South ern mill* owe their vry existence, th* check upon the new construction Is sur prisingly smutl Nine mills with a capi tal of more than a million and a half are about to start operation, and the work of new construction ls going on. show ing an Increased determination to produce cloth as well as yarn, and a disposition to widen the range of production by push ing the knit goods branch. There Is no longer apprehension In New England of being driven out of the business, but there I* no limit yet In sight of the nat ural development of the cotton manufac ture In the section of the country where the raw material Is produced." The Memphis Commercial-Appeal (Dem ) any*: "Those part young editors who ar* charging Rum Jones with having sold out to th# trusts for 120.000 may prepare for a hereafter which Is sure to come to them.

But time* have chansed and he no longer wears out th# bottom of his pockets searching for fugacious nickels. Rev. Sam has money lo burn and he never was In the selling out business." The New Orleans Fleayune (Dem) says: "Secretary Gage, in hla anxiety from the financial end of the government, lo help along the campaign, has been led by hts excess of seal or by bad and foolish ad vice, lo make himself ridiculous In Ih* eves of all who know anything of the actual situation Without doubt, he al ready feels ashamed of himself, or he will when he shall read Mr. Schurs's re lined but keen satire, ami. moreover, he owe* lo the business world an apology and ex planation for Ih* falae and loollsh outcry be has raised tn regard to the ttjuuicea." Tale ot tke Sian. When Russell B. Harrison, son of *x- Prestdent Harrison, presided over the af fairs of Ihe Terr* Haute Electric Street Railway Company several year* ago, says the Journal, he had a sign paint ed to bang up oo his office door which on una aide read; I : HARRISON IN. J I 1 and on th* other: I I : HARRISON OUT. 1 3 t By this means Mr. Harrison’s callers were saved the trouble of making Inqui ries. The road finally went Into Ihe hands of Joshua Jump, a* rev-elver. Mr. Jump fol lowed the business-like methods of Mr. Harr-acn and had hla own name substi tuted for that of the late president of the road. When he waa tn hi* office the sign on the door bore the cheering In scription: 1 I f JUMP IN. t * t and when he wa* away, hie visitors gov erned themselves by thl* notice: " ‘t t JUMP OUT.

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.
