American Travel in Europe.
Cincinnati T9mes-Star.


Few persons have any idea of the vast
number of Americans who spend the
summer abroad. The season covers
about four months. During the season
of 1880 the number of first class passen-
gers who went abroad was 10 ,436. The
next year Q891 the number was largely
increased, being % PAS. Of these the
Cunard steamers carried 3. 435, the White
Star steamers 2, 1856, the North American
Llovd steamers 9, AGA, the Anchor steam
ers {, Ala, the Inman steamers 2,21O, the
Hamburg steamers 2,182, the Guion
steamers 1906, the National steamers
1876, and the General Transatlantic
1916
According to the estimate of the New
York Shipping Gazette and 1TG0elerS
Guide, the number of first class passen-
gers going abroad this year will probably
reach thirty thousand. This estimate is
based upon the statements of passenger
agents, and from the fact that since the
1st of May there has been scarcely sin
gle vessel of the twenty-One steamship
companies plying between New York
and Europe upon which berth could
be obtained at the time of sailing.
Europe carries from this country vast
amount of money. The passage alone of
the 30, 900 who go abroad this season will
take 81, 500, 900, every cent of which
goes to foreigners. 1t is estimated that
the spending money of these passengers
will average So 900, which will make an
aggregate sum of 800, 100000 Besides
the first class passengers, large number
of native born and naturaliZed Americans
take steerage passage for Europe, who it
is estimated take with them $20,000,000
more.
To offset this enormous loss of cur
rency is the coming of over half mil
lion immigrants-possibly six hundred
thousand-who will bring with them an
average per capita of 800, making a
total sum of $50, 1000. 600. scarcely half
of the amount taken from the country.
The fact that this country can endure
this enormous outgo of currency with.
out apparent suffering is an evidence of
its financial strength. But an important
fact is not considered by those who
lament the smallness Of the money
brought into the country, and that is
that most of the immigrants bring with
them that which is itself a source of
wealth, and indeed of more value to the
country than many dollars would be,
and that is muscle. They go to the
West and Northwest, and Immediately
become producers, creating wealth and
adding millions to that of the country.

Among the subjects discussed by the
Association for the Reform and Codifca
ton of the Laws of Nations, at its re-
cent meeting, was that of marriage The
conclusion said to have been reached is,
that the rule that marriage valid in the
place where contracted should be valid
everywhere, ought to be made inter
national This" says the New York
Post, sis the rule of our courts, but
the fact that it is shows at
once how very slight an i'm
prOvement would be effected by
making it universal The rule has pre-
vailed here since the settlement of the
country, and yet there is no country in
the world where divorce is so easy and
the marriage tie so loose. In fact, in the
modern world this country produces
more marital troubles and complications
than all the rest put together. Much of
it comes from the ease with which
foreign divorces are obtained on short
residence, and this evil cannot be re-
duced by making marriage good in one
place good in all"

The small value of some crop reports

The small value Of some crop reports
is well illustrated by the different esti-
mates of this years wheat harvest put
forth by those who claim equally to be
authorities. There is range of quite
100,000,000, o. from one fifth to one
sixth of the entire yield. The Public
thinks 400 600, 900 bushels is about the
amount, and says that the reports re-
garding threshing are mot up to expee-
tations." At the other end of the line is
the Chicago Times, which, claiming, as
usual, infallibility, intimates that 'the
total yield will be more than 600, 900, 600, 4"
and that mo farmer will gain by putting
his faith in an estimate of less than
$40, 000,000." Between these extremes
comes the Agricultural Bureau at Wash
ington with 500, 100000, the Cincinnati
Price Current with $4,000, 900, and the
New York Commercial Bulletin with
mot less than 10000, OOO," and thresh
ing indicating that cit may go higher
yet" Over and among these contra
dlctoIy statements the bulls and the
bears have full range.

A dusky damsel boarded a train on
the Kentucky Central Railroad some
time ago, ana upon declining to enter
the car prepared for negro passengers,
was elected. Under the presumed war
rant of the civil rights bill she brought
suit for damages against the company.
Upon the hearing of the suit Judge Barr.
of the United States District Court,
ruled that the civil rights bill contained
no provision for bringing a civil suit
for damages. This is startling doc
trine to the negrophilists, but it doubt
less meets with their private approval,
however it may conflict with their pub
lie utterances.
Judge Bars decision will come up
for review before the higher courts, and
will, doubtless, be sustained, for now
that the negro is not so useful to the
''grand old party" as he once was, there
can be no pretext for comforting upon
him privileges which any one of the
most stalwart of Radical judicial func-
tlOnaries would kick against if their
exercise brought the negro into too close
contact with himself.

in making bagging This work was done
by hand, and did not require the long tedi-
GUS water process, which takes ten days at
least to prepare the jute, and which, In ad-
dition, is very expensive. Mr.. Harang is
organizing company for the treatment Of
jute, and hopes to be soon able to erect an
experimental machine which will show the
value OF his process. He claims that this
machine will be able to disintegrste 10, 900
pounds OF iute in twenty four hours.
There died recently at st. Petersburg a
Russian nobleman, Count Orloff Davydoff,
whom Englishmen hold in grateful and
kindly remembrance. When a young man
he was sent by his grandfather to England
to be educated, but because he did not pro-
fess the thirty nine articles he was denied
admission to Oxford or Cambridge, and Ac-
cordiugly entered the University OF Edin-
burgh. Here he came under the influence
of Sir William Hamilton and John Wilson,
from the latter of whom he derived con-
servatism 10 politics which ever after disttn-
guished him. Other celebrated Englishmen
he also knew, and frequently met with them
at Sir Walter Scott's home, at Abbotsford. A
close friendship existed between the young
man and Sir Walter, and 1t is
said with authority that he furnished
Scott with an authentic description,
derived from his grandfather, OF the
burning of Moscow, nearly the whole of
which was embodied in the Life Of Napo-
Leon" Davydoff made his maiden speech
in English at dinner of the Highland Gel
tic Society, presided over by Scott. When
financial ruin came to the poe5's fortune,
Davydoff purchased the manuscript Of the
"Talisman, ;" and ever afterward preserved
It in his library, near Moscow. He finally
came into possession of an immense fortune,
including 100000 acres of fertile land, the
value OF which, by his management, was
doubled in his life time. The Count, through
his father, was descended from ancient
Tartar stock, and through his mother from
one of those brothers OrloH who led the
revolution that transferred the sceptre of
Peter III to the hands OF his wife Gather
inc. Davydoff's interest in England was
keen and solicitous until his last days. The
Crimean war is said to have been great
trial to him.

ga keen political observer" of Wash
ington ventures this prediction: THAT
neither party will have a clear majority
in the next House of Representatives
There will be about 130' to 1876 Demo-
Gratis, 135 to 14O Republicans, and the
rest miscellaneous" In such an event
the organization will be disputed as in
the memorable Pennington contest, and
result in a coalition out of which must
grow a considerable reorganization of
parties. 1t is altogether likely that the
scratchers will be abroad in force this
year, but, if the people have not parted
with their senses, they will pause ere
they issue a new license to Keifer, Robe
son & Co.

According to the naval system there
are 1900 men in that branch of the
service. There are enough officers to
command navy of the first magnitude.
There are 70 Rear Admirals, % Commo
dores, go Captains, ITO Commanders,
1874 Lieutenant Commanders, 315 Lieu
tenants, $50 Masters, 400 Ensigns. The
number is added to annually.
As the people are not likely to spend
numerous millions to furnish ships on
which to employ these gentlemen, it
might be well to retire the older and let
the younger go to work. Some could
be kept in active service on our few ser
viceable tubs. If the rest are ever
needed they can volunteer, or, for that
matter, they could take hand at jun
keting by relays.

Our Trade Edition.

On Saturday next the regular annual
trade edition of the NEWS will be issued.
1t will be an exceedingly interesting
paper, as it will contain full review of
the cotton trade during the business year
now approaching its close, the special
cotton business of this port, together
with reviews and tables of reliable stats
tics of the business of the city in all
branches of trade. 1t will be double the
usual size Of the paper, and the iuforma-
ton it will furnish will be of great value
to our merchants, as well as of interest
to all who desire the welfare of Georgia's
chief seaport.
The trade of Savannah during the
present season, despite a cotton crop
reduced from the figures of last year by
over one million bales, has been all that
the friends of the city could wish for,
and she has maintained without difficulty
her position as the first cotton port of
the South Atlantic, being far ahead of
ali competitors. Cotton, however, has
really been but small factor
in the general business of the
city. Her receipts of naval stores
have been larger than ever before-so
large, in fact, as to have necessitated the
formation of Naval Stores Exchange
hn 20
branch of our trade is steadily increas-
ing, and Savannah, brought as she is in
easy communication with the virgin pine
forests to the south of us, is rapidly
taking position as the first port in that
line as well as in cotton. So important,
indeed, does this industry promise to
become, that in a few years it will
doubtless keep the wheels of COM
merce moving as rapidly in the sum-
mer as in the winter, and so the city will
present a scene of activity throughout
the entire year. Our rice and lumber
interests have also fourished, the for
mer beyond all precedent, while all the
various departments of the trade of Sa-
vannah have been marked with great
activity throughout the season, and our
merchants, without exception, have
reason to congratulate themselves upon
the prosperity they have enjoyed.
The prospects of the future, too, are
unusually bright. Business has already
opened with an activity which promises
well for the approaching season, and
blessed as the city is with remarkably
good health, with her excellent harbor
in better condition than ever before, and
with increased and still increasing trans
portation facilities both by land and
water, there is absolutely nothing in the
way to prevent the most sanguine anti
cipatlons of the citizens from being real
lied. 1t will be seen then that the trade
edition of the News to be issued on
next Saturday morning will be of unu-
sual interest, and must commend itself
to the favorable consideration of our
business men as well as of all who have
the future prosperity of the city atheart.

A comparison Of figures, states the
New Orleans Times Democrat, shows
that the State and private banks OF the
country contribute nearly one-third OF
the country's gross banking capital
Their deposits are larger, in proportion
to capital, than those of the national
banks. The total capital of the national
banks on July was $477, GOO, 600; de-
posits in the national banks amounted to
81 O67, OOO, 600; in the State and private
banks. S789, 900. OOO From 1881 to 1882
the capital of the national banks IN
creased 81, 100000; Of the others, $780,
OOO. 900; deposits in the national banks
increased $50, 600. 900; in the other tanks

Our Macon contemporary presumes 10
sit in judgment upon our Democracy
The cardinal teachings of the Democratic
party are principles not men, and loyalty
to the party organization. Mr.. stephens
represents the principles of the Demo-
cratic party of Georgia, having been Sc
lected as its standard bearer by a
majority of more than two thirds
of the State Convention, and
in opposing him our contemporary Is
rejecting these principles and is not dis
playing what the average mind regards
as party fealty. We submit it, there
fore that our contemporary is not
competent Judge of true Democracy.
AT any rate its decision will be reversed
most decidedly by the Democratic peo-
nile of Georgia at the polls.

New York Commercial Bulletin, a de.
cided increase in the totals of both gen.
eral merchandise and dry goods, COM
pared with the previous week, although
the movement as a whole is but little
above the usual average. Their total

remainder dry goods. Since January l
the imports aggregate 1892, 179, 372.

1t really looks as if cheap gas was to
he a foregone fact after while. 1t is
stated that syndicate has been formed
to furnish natural gas flowing from wells
in the Pennsylvania oil regions through
immense pipes to Philadelphia, New
York. Pittsburg, Buffalo, Baltimore,
Washington, ST. Louis and other cities
east of the Mississippi river. These
wells are only isolated evidences of a
failure to obtain oil. AS soon
as a gas well is struck that section is
abandoned. There is no doubt any
number of wells of similar character
could be struck in the sections known
as gas streaks, which are spurned by
the oil operators. The gentlemen who
are interested in the enterprise are all
large capitalists, and are confident OF
ultimate success in supplying the great
cities Of the Union with gas, for light
and fuel, at much less rates than even
electricity can be furnished.

1t is said that many of our shOddY
barons occasionally steal back to the
work bench to see if their hands have
lost their cunning. Just so with the
New York Times, the original proprietor
of the outrage mill. 1t spares Conkling
a few Iashes to gain time to dilate on the
hanging of Jack Turner, colored, over
in Alabama last week. Its olden skill
has not been lost. Itloses sight, though,
of the fact that Jack was bad citizen.
Law-loving people deplore his summary
taking off, but the practice is not con-
fined to particular State lines. Be
sides. this is an off year.

fraud, the jury may, perhaps. kindly

Recent reports show a falling off in
the number of cattle and sheep and hogs
in the United States, scarcity of feed
and its high price having compelled
farmers to sell. The stocks of meat in
store in this country at the present time
are also less than they were a year ago.
The conclusion from these facts seems
to be that consumption of meats in the
United States has increased faster than
the supply.

The Coreans should not be judged too
harshly for their recent uprising. They
have doubtless heard of the Grant regime
with its long black list of corruptiOns,
and Of the unsavOry record of the Repub
lican party for jobs and steals. Perhaps,
too, they have heard of Keifer and
Robson. Being high spirited people,
it is not strange that the bare idea of
intercourse with a country where such
things exist and are cOuntenanced by the
people should be enough to infuriate
and madden them.
