DEEPER WATER FOR SAVANNAH. Mayor Myers has done good service for (he .leeper harbor project at this pon by collecting and publishing In pamphlet form facts which show the vgst benefit which deeper water In the harbor would be to Savannah and her commerce. The facta are gathered from buslno** men of the etty and from the officers o rail roods which have their sewboard terminate hr ra. The harbor, et mean high water. Is sup posed now to have a channel of twrnty slx feet, tun it |e only when there is an extremely high tide that the channel, from the city to the sea. La* that depth The proposition is to deepen the channel to twenty-right feet. The lommerce of Savannah la steadily incrotulng. It bos been increasing ever since work on the harbor began The exports are nearly twice what they were twenty years ago, and the coastwise commerce must have incus—d fully as much. It Is a fact that the number of barrels of naval au>re* Is mere than four time* as great as It was In IMO, the increase in lumber has been more lhan three fold and the receipts of cotton are a third greater. It Is agreed by business men and rail rood officials that the commerce of the poet la certain to grow moodily. Naval stores men say that there la very little probability of any filling off In the re ceipt# In turpentine end roato for a num ber of years, and that as the products of the forests decline, those of the farms that will take the place of the forests wtl lo ci tase. Cotton merchants look for a steady increase In cotton receipts. It is wu;*d out that those coal and iron In dustrie* of which this port Is the sea board outlet, are In their infancy- The railroad officials ms y that with deeper water grain shipments would come this way, and it Is certain that the phosphate rock and kaolin of Florida would be ship ped by way of Savannah In much larger quantities. It l only a question of a very few years when there will be an Isthmian canal Then Savannah'# commercial Importance will be greatly Ire-reared. The Far East will want the product* of Georgia's cot ion mills and Alabama's steel paint**. It will want many other things which the South will have, and a large share of them it will get by way of Savannah. And the Bouth will worst much from the Far East. Much a* itovannao needs twenty eight feat of water in her channel now. ant will want it much more then. When the twenty-six-foot project was undertaken It was with tha umk-rwtanding that eventually the harbor would he deep ened to twenty-eight feet. Indeed, the plans were drawn with the view to a twenty-eight-foot channel. In moving therefore for an appropriation for dee [ter water Savannah Is only asking for what It was originally Intended she should have. An appropriation for an additional depth of water can be obtained. There Is no ***** reason to doubt that. It will take work of the right kind, however. But If we are not mistaken the business men of the city are ready and willing to do all the work that it Is necessary to do to moke the undertaking a success. THE ( HI NPiIKBH BII,U The probability that the nitmrtiomnent 1 111 which has been Introduced Into Congress by Representative Crumpaeker of Indiana will receive much oonaklcr. at ton Is very remote. Ho Is the leader of th-, small coterie of Republican poli ticians who want to punish those states which have disfranchised illiterate ne groes The elates at which hla bill strikes are Louisiana, Mississippi. South Carolina and North Carolina There four "Sates are deprived of twelve represen tatives, as follows: I auric linn 2, Missis sippi J. South Carolina 3, and North Carolina 1. Only two of these states, however, havj franchise laws of which Republicans can reasonably complain. They are North Carolina and I-uuistana. They have In their constitution* what is known as ihe "grandlather clause " It dtscrtml rnes against the negroes. In South Carolina and Mississippi there Is no such discrimination in the law, though It Is chanted that In administering ihe regls tration law (here is such discrimination It Is difficult to sec, however, how Con gress can lake notice of race discrimina tion In making an apportionment unless there Is legislation of some kind to Jus tify such action. The Crumpaeker bill Is not a committee bill. It Is only Mr. Crumpaeker’a bill. It Is prelly safe to say that It will never reach Ihe House with a favorable report The rhanees are that It will never get out of the committee to which It has been referred. lit Is the understanding that it Is not to be the policy of the Re. publican party to stir up the race que*. non. That party has never gained any thing In the South by placing dependence on the negroea, and It haa been bothered greatly by the demands of (he negroes for offices. R Is probable therefore that it will undertake to gain a foothold In the Routh by placing less dependence upon the ne groes. There Is a chanco for building up a white Republican party In ihe South at:d it would not be surprising If the Re publican ksders should lake advantage cf It. Nearly every Southern railway y*tem ha* Its industrial and Immigration bureau; what are the heads of those bureaus do ing towards inducing the Boen* of booth Africa to settle tn this section In the event o| their emigration? We could get no better eeitlera than these handy Dutch farmer*. Western immlgmilon agent* are already advertising their section among the Boers.

THE MOKNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER .5, 1900. TUB OIBUI CONVENTION. The Cuhan Constitutional Convention Is now m the fifth week of It# existence. As yet It has done nothing but talk and qulhtde over unimportant matters. There la no telling how much more time will be required before substantial progress la made and lo what length the convention will be extended. Tha members of It are receiving (390 per month, with allowances for expense* There does not appear la be any disposition to expedite matter# on the part of the delegates. It I* asserted by Albert O Robinson, a correspondent of the New York Evening Boat to Havana, that th* membership of the convention Is altogether non-represen tative of the Island's test Interests. It represents only a certain minority element. Many leading Cubans were asked what proportion of the native Intelligence and properly Interests were represented The replies rang'd from "barely nominal" to “7 per cent.,** the latter being the highest estimate given. This allegation being true. It Is not surprising that the sessions of the convention arouse no enthusiasm among the people. It 1* staled an a fact that the Intelligent, educated and proper ty-owning residents of the Island look upon the convention with a considerable degree of apprehension. It I* pointed oul Itiat the element which Is to control of the convention Is practically the counterpart of that head'd by Agulnaldo and his lieutenant* In the Philippines—the insurrecto element; the natives who despise ail foreigners and wish to drive them Into the sea. In Cuba this party Is treated with the moat dis tinguished consideration, while In the Philippines It Is put to the sword. It Is true that the fulled Slates government has a string tied to the conclusions of the Cuban convention. This government holds and purpose* lo exercise the powers of a court of final determination upon the con vention's actions That la to a measure a safeguard to the Interests of the Island. At the same time, it Is a source of danger. Should the frilled Slates endeavor to modify the fundamental law adopted by the convention, the revolutionary leader* who are now members of that body might b expected lo make trouble, claiming that the Intervening government had not kept In good faith U* protnl.-o lo give the Cubans a government of their own and of their own making. The correspond ent say* that the United State* have made enemies of the better element* of the island by placing to control of Insular af fair* an element In w hlch they have no confidence; meanwhile we have rot made friends of Ibe Insurrecto class. If these latter could do so they would Immediately order us to get out. bag and baggage, since our presence Interfere* with their plan*. Ttit* la a rather pessimistic view jo take of the matter. Time alone will show If the correspondent Is right. A writer In I*-#lie's WeakJy says that Richard Croker ha* made tha government of the city of New York Ibe costliest tn tha world. ft costs double the government of Mexico, with Its 15.00i.09 inhabitants and Its army and navy. "It is almost a third of Ihe cost of the gov ernment of the Gorman omptre. Including the support of that country * Immense army, Its great navy ami tt* railroads, and the Interest on Its debt, and tier many has a population of 52.900,909. It Is a quarter as groat an the coat of the government of the Unitwl Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Including Its army. Its gigantic navy and the lnteresi on It* debt, and the United Kingdom’s population i In the neighborhood of (0,- OOO.OUO.

Tha expenditure of tha govern ment of tha United Btates In 10. when the country's population was 31 .if** mu, w* {83.900,900, or not very much mote than half of Dio yearly cost of Ilia support of the government of New York city at th* present time ” It Is not at all surpWstng that, under the circumstance*, the people of New York who have something at stake are tired of Mr. Cooker's rule. Congressman William Richardson of Alabama, who has succeeded to the msh of (Jen. Joseph Wheeler, was at ono time Sentenced to be hanged. It was during the war between the states. Richardson, then 17 years old, was captured by the Federal* In company with a suspected spy of the name of Paul, near Murfrees boro, Tenn. Richardson declared that he was no spy. and had fallen In with his companion by a dent; nevertheless he was sentenced to death by a drumhead court martial. Orn. Forrest heard of the matter, onJ with I,l< men fell upon Crittenden's forces, defeated them and rescued the condemned lad. In Ihe national election of 1896 Ihe vote was much closer to the registration than In 1900. Although the numler entitled to vote In 1500 was very much larger than It wag in 106. more votes were cast lor President In the former year than In t.ie latter. In l*fi there were cast 13.9C3.J75. In 1500 the number waa 13.M3.913. In 1900 Mr. McKinley received only 136 SM more voles than he did In I*9* Mr. Hryan re celved 147.396 lese than he got in I*B6. No doubt there will be some Interesting do duct ions Irom these ffgures, but It is doubtful if any of litem will be tree (rum bias of some sorb and hence will not be north much.

Al most every day hold-up* and burglarl*# occur, but no arre t. of the perpetrator* sre made. The Time# make* a table in which It shows that during a few day* a considerable number of these felonlea were committed, without the arrest of the criminals following. Meanwhile the po licemen are not loafing. If a small boy purloins a banana from a fruit stand he ha quickly put behind the* bars. If a poor woman steals n loaf of bread or a bot tle of milk for her starving child, the sleuth* of the lew never quit her trail until she 1* to Jail. To Judge from the Tim**' statement, the police force of Philadelphia Is corrupt and demoralised, through politics. Ootn Paul is nonplussed. He does not know which way to turn. After the emit* from the Emperor William, It I* not like ly that either Italy or Austria, members of the triple alliance, would receive hat* cordially, and there Is not much to be expected from Russia. An enthusiastic welcome from Holland he can depend up on, but Holland is only a weak Power. Incapable of rendering him any real aid Hnvln and Porttig.il are to the same category with Holland. France declines to intervene alone, and no other Power cf influence Is disposed to Join France m behalf of the Boers against England. The question of social precedence as be tween Mrs. Dewey and Mrs. Miles, hav ing been mubmltted to the editor of "Burke** Peerage," ha* been dt -Idel against the former. Mrs Mile* should take precedence, he says, since the army In the United State* Is older than the navy. Thl* decision coming from SO eminent an English authority, should, It seems, give the controversy Ms quietus. The authority applied to. by the way. rays he ha* more Inquiries respecting so cial precedence from persona In the United Slates than from the United Kingdom. In a German village recently a man was convicted of "lese majeste" because be had remained sitting when someone else said "Hoch der Kaiser!" II wae ad vanced In behalf of the accused that he meant no offense to the name of His Majesty by retaining his seat, but as a matter of fact he had partaken o( ao much beer that he had no confidence In hla legs. The excuse, however, was not acceded In Germany, therefore. It la "lese majeste" for one to be too drunk to get upon his feet at the mention of the Emperor's name. The latest Russian crop figures made public estimate the winter wheat harvest of the country, including Siberia and Cen tral Asia, as U4.5,* bushels. The win ter wheat raised In the same territory In IWS waa 153,898 (oft bushels. The deficiency means, of course, that American wheal will continue In good demand during the next year.

"Th" < hll dren of the poor who know what hunger is In their own experience have far quick er and more effective sympathies in me direction of ptty for the starving than children who have never felt the pangs of appetite themselves. Most people In civ ilised life know almost nothing of the very poignant suffering due o lack of food, and adults have little, conception ol the pain and duress which children i < i from hunger.
