SpFague for Governor OF Rhode
Island.
N. Y. Tribune, Is.


William Sprague is being more or
less nominated for his old place as
Governor of Rhode Island; and the
shreWder Republicans look upon the
movement as seriously threatening.
The Governor has always had GER
tain popularity with the lesa educated
and Jess we'll to do classes OF his
State, which his later vagaries have
only tended to increase. 1t is not in
the least outside the possibilities that
after financial ruin and social disaster,
be may again attain the place to which
only the prestige Of Inherited wealth
originally carried him. IL has been
the fashion of late years to speak of
the ex Governor as half crazy or half.
witted. But he has flashes of quite
uncommon sagacity, and whoever
picks him up for a fool is apt to get
burnt fingers for his pains. 1t was
Sprague who said, reaectively ,one day,
in the Senate. There is nothing more
cowardly than a half million, except
ing a million" He is likely enough
to make his present campaign in that
spirit.

Savannah will celebrate, in an imposing
manner, the 15Oth anniversary of the land
ing of General Oglethorpe at the site of
that city on the 18th day of next month.
The most extensive and elaborate prepare
tons are being made. Money has been
and is being subscribed in large sums by
the public spirited citizens for the pur-
pose of making it the grandest and most
imposing pageant ever witnessed In the
Empire State of the South. South Georgia
is so nearly allied to the great seaport
city that she is sure to send hundreds TO
witness the Sesqui-C occasion.
Townsville, the leading inland south
Georgia city, will, no doubt, be largely
represented. The ties of business, friend

very closely with Savannah. We say thus

The terrible suffering of the inhabitants
of the flooded districts of Southern Ger
many and Austria, and the great loss of
property caused by the overflow of the riv-
ers of the Alps mOuntains,i is daily increas-
ing. The latest cable reports state that ten
thousand people are utterly destitute.
Subscriptions have been opened in the
leading cities of Europe and this
country, but the destruction of
property and distress of the people are so
great that public and private charity will
be taxed to the utmost. The inhabitants
of the inundated districts are, in many
cases, imprisoned in their half-submerged
dwellings, and are threatened with death
from famine. The r eliet committees OF
New York, New Orleans and other cities
have already RENTED large sums, and
additional subscriptions are reported
daily. The committee in Savannah have
already raised over 5000. A public meet
ing will be held at st. Andrews Hall to-

will be made in behalf of the sufferers.
