The euessers are still struggling with the
Cabinet, but in less than a week their oc
cupation will be gone.
There is no longer any doubt that Mrs.
Yseult Dudley is a crank. She has not
only declined an offer of marriage, but is
going to start a newspaper. She would have
stood a better chance if she had taken to the
lecture field.
A contemporary having indulged in the
joke that Republicans at Washington were
preparing to fold their tents and steal away
gave the New York World an opportunity
to say that the reason the people have or
dered them to “fold their tents” is because
they have been stealing away all these
years.
It is shrewdly suspected that Brown, the
infamous liar and blackmailer of the Cin
cinnati Enquirer, has already been in Sa
vannah and concocted a batch of his false
hoods about respectable citizens of this city,
as he did in Macon. The Enquirer is evi
dently on its last legs, and, no doubt, will
soon go into bankruptcy, but if Brown, its
special blackmailer, ever shows his face
south of Mason and Dixon’s line, and is re
cognized, he will not send off many more
sensational lies to McLean’s Cincinnati Fal
sifier, or any other dirty sheet.
Col. William F. Vilas of Wisconsin,has
by common consent, been accorded a place
in Cleveland’s Cabinet. A dispatch frcsn
Madison, his place of residence, however,
states that he, besides attending to an ex
tensive law practice, and assisting actively
as a member of the Wisconsin .State Legis
lature, is also professor in the State Uni
versity Law Department, and he announc
ed to his class a day or two ago, that while
he would be unable to meet them next
week he would give his regular lecture the
week following. This has been interpreted
by his students as an indication that he
will attend the inauguration, but not be
come one of Cleveland’s Cabinet advisers.
COLLECTING AMERICAN NEWS
PAPERS.
Capt. Bedford Pirn, the well-known
English naval engineer and ex-nemberof
the British Parliament who has just com
pleted an extended tour of the United 'tates
and Canada, has expressed a desire to
present the British Museum with a single
copy of every daily and weekly paper pub
lished in the United States and Canada, and
has requested specimen copies of the daily
issues of March 5, 1885, and weeklies for the
first week of March to be forwarded to him
in London. It is Capt. Pirn’s intention to
bind the papers in volumes and classify
them by States, Provinces and Territories,
and request the British government to place
them in the public archives of the British
Museum, where they are to be carefully
preserved,
THE ANTI-ALIEN LAND BILL..
The sentiment against aliens acquiring
titles to real property in the United States,
seems to be very decided and on the increase,
and the bill to prevent such acquisition,
which has been reported to the Senate, is
very stringent. It provides that it shall
be unlawful for any persons, not citizens of
the United States, or Who have not lawfully
declared their intention to become such, or
for any corporation not created by
or under the laws of the United States,
or of some State or territory of the
United States, to hereafter acquire real es
tate in any of the territories of the United
States or in the District of Columbia, ex
cept such as may be acquired; in good faith
in the ordinary course of justice in the col
lection of debts; that no corporation, more
than ten per centum of the stock of which
is owned by any persons or corporations not
citizens of the United States shall hereafter
acquire real estate in any of the territories
of the United States or of the District of
Columbia; that no corporation other than
railways, canals or turnpikes shall
acquire Bver five thousand acres of land
in any of the territories of the United
States, and the latter shall hereafter only
acquire lands as may be necessary for their
proper operation, and that all lands of such
corporations, whether acquired before or
after the passage of the act, which shall not
be necessary for their operation, shall be
disposed of within ten years after the pass
age of this act, and if not disposed of, shall
be forfeited to, ai d become the property of,
the United States. It provides further that
all property acquired, held, or owned in
violation of its provisions shall be forfeited
to the United States.
Owing to the approach of the end of the
present Congress this bill will probably fail
at this time. The fact, however, that so
stringent a measure should have been fa
vorably reported to the Senate shows that the
country is being aroused against alien pos
session of the public lands, and some such
law may be expected before many years shall
have elapsed.
THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1885.
SECESSION IN WEST VIRGINIA.
The city council in Wheeling, West Vir
ginia, are in favor of cutting off that portion
of the State composed of the counties of
Hancock, Brooks, Ohio and Marshall, and
annexing it to Pennsylvania to which State,
as the council says,“they physically and nat
urally belong.” A motion introduced to that
effect a day or so ago would have prevailed,
had not the Attorney General-elect of the
State opposed it with sufficient activity to
secure its defeat.
It is a great pity that old Virginia had
not, year- before the war, cut off this portion
of her territory and given it to Pennsyl
vania, for had she done so she would not
have been dismembered, and no such State
as West Virginia would to-day be in ex
istence. It is known as the “Panhandle,’’
and consists of a narrow wedged-shaped
strip, running north and bounded by the
Ohio P.iver on the west and Pennsylvania
in the east. It was settled by citizens of
Ohio and Pennsylania, whose political
sentiments were opposed to those of the
people of Virginia proper. Wheeling, the
largest and wealthiest city in the State, is
the county seat of Ohio county,
and is much more like a
Northern than a Southern town in every
respect. When the war was in progress
Wheeling—and the entire Panhandle i n
fact—furnished a number of troops to fight
against Virginia, and it was due almost en
tirely to the influence and wealth of that
city that the “political rape,” as Governor
Wise characterized it, of Old Virginia was
consummated.
This move of the City Council of Wheel
ing is one which, sooner or later, will most
likely be carried into effect. The people of
the body of the State are still very
fond of speaking of themselves as
“Virginians,” and there is no more sympa
thy between them and the people of the
Panhandle than there formerly existed be
tween the latter and the people of Old Vir
ginia. In fact, the four counties named
occupy the same position toward the rest of
West Virginia that Savannah and South
Georgia occupy toward Upper Georgia—
they have but little voice in the State gov
ernment, and are always outvoted on every
measure which the people outside the Pan
handle do not see fit to countenance. No
wonder that they are dissatisfied, and would
gladly be attached to a State more in sym
pathy with theffi politically and in other
respects.
The great difficulty which will always be
found in the way of the separation of these
four counties from West Virginia however,
will be that the rest of the State will oppote
it because these counties pay a large propo:-
tion of the revenue of the State,and are valua
ble property on that account. The move
ment once started, no doubt can be pushed,
and finally some arrangement will be made
Iby which the secession will be agreed
io. By Oid Virginia’s holding on to
he Panhandle she lost much valuable Ter
ritory, and the only compensation she has
received therefor is that her dismember
ment was the means of two more Demo
cratic members being added to the United
States Senate than would have been the
case had the integrity of her old territory
been maintained.
GEORGIA AT THE EXPOSITION.
All the visitors from Savannah to the
Great Southern World’s Fair at New Or
leans agree on two points—that the Expo
sition is the greatest affair of the kind ever
witnessed on this continent, and that
Georgia’s exhibit is the poorest on the
grounds. In fact every citizen of the State
who has attended the Exposition and with
whom we have conversed, say that they feel
ashamed of the contrast between the dis
plays of the “Empire State of the South,”
and her sisters of the Union, and
one of the gentlemen from Savannah
who has recently returned home,
felt this sense of shame to such a degree,
that upon being asked on the Exposition
grounds from what State he hailed, declared
unblushingly that he came from Fiorida.
Outside of what has been done by Savan
nah and Chatham County, very little has
been accomplished, and in consequence,
Georgia’s exhibit is hardly worthy of being
characterized as an exhibit at all.
The fault of this is entirely due to the
facts ..that the Legislature could not consti
tutionally vote an appropriation to enable
the State to make a creditable dis
play, and the people were unwilling
to go to any expense to get out specimens of
their various products and resources and have
them transported to New Orleans. Major
D. C. Bacon, United States Commissioner
for Georgia, has worked hard, zealously and
unremittingly to induce his fellow citizens
to put forth some exertions and do them
selves credit; commissioners were appoint
ed in every District and County of the
State, and he and they went about among
the people urging them to do something.
Meetings were held and speeches made, but
all to no effect. Universal apathy seemed
to prevail, and the people could not
be made to understand the importance of
Georgia’s being represented at th i great fair
or if they did understand it, they were un
willing to contribute a cent of their indi
vidual funds towards defraying the abso
lutely needed expense. Everybody would
listen patiently to the speeches, and hope
devoutly that everybody else would do
something, but any appeal for money was
invariably the signal for an incontinent
breaking up of the assemblage.
The State will necessarily suffer from this
unfortunate condition of affairs. All the
States surrounding us, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Alabama and Florida, made earnest
efforts and succeeding in getting up displays
which put ours to the blush, and the result
will be that capitalists, contemplating in
vestment in the South, will study the re
sources and opportunities for profitable ven
tures in those States, while they remain in
ignorance of ours, and will give us the go by.
Strangers will naturally conclude that,though
they hat|e heard so much about the
progress of Georgia,andher boast of being the
great Southern Empire State, if she cannot
vie with her sisters and neighbors at a Fair
such as this, which is essentially a Southern
institution, her claims are baseless and can
not be substantiated.
It is unfortunate that this is so, but the
truth mi£ht as well be admitted openly and
candidly. It will take hard work and
united effort for many years to come to do
away with the unfortunate impression which
Georgia’s poor display at New Orleans must
necessarily create upon the m nds of stran
gers and outside capitalists. Our people
must rouse themselves from their lethargy,
if they hope to keep pace with their more
energetic neighbors in the race of progress
and advancement.
She Wasn’t So Covetous as That.
Newman Independent.
“I wish I had a new silk dress like Mrs.
Jones bought yesterday,” said Mrs. Smith
to her husband.
“Growing covetous?” asked Smith, dryly.
“You should remember, my dear, the com
mandment: Thou shaft not covet thy neigh
bor’s ox nor his ass—”
“I wasn’t coveting another husband, I’d
have you know!” said Mrs. Smith with a
mischievous smile.
A Polite But Unnecessary Answer.
Kentucky State Journal.
Capt. Jerome, while visiting Col. Higgin
son, took a derringer from the table and
asked: “This thing loaded?” but before
the colonel could reply the weapon was dis
charged, the bullet tearing away one of the
fingers of th# visitor.
Then the colonel, who is widely known
on account of his extreme politeness, bow. d
gracefully and rejoined: “Not now, my
dear captain.”
