Don Piatt, exposing the corrupt
practices that had crept into all de-
partments Of the Government, SAID
the very grave-Yards were swindled.
The contractor received so much on
each body for gathering up and bury
ing the Union dead en- Southern bat
tefelds. After the genuine bodies
were buried, the rescals got into the
negro grave yards and dug up their
bones to replant. Then they hunted
up the bores Of Government mules,
toswell the list Of charges. Many 10y
al hearts could never realize what
a nsmber Of mule bones they had

There is some talk in Memphis Of re-
turning to the cid form Of government.
The Avalanche says IN tins connection:
The ward system of city government
has been 4 stupendous failure il all
American cities. Itsrule in Memphis
nearly destroyed the entire value Of
all city property. ThoProposcd return
to that ruiuous system Will Doubtless
be resisted by all taxpayers and other
jltize, who favor an economical and
efficient city government.

AClear and Sensible Statement.


The Murfreesboro New says that it
is ''not in favor ofDem9crats scratch
ing the Railroad Commissioners from
their tickets. On this point the ques-
ton Is not whether the regulation Of
railroads by Il State Commission Is
right or wrong. The question Is, who
shall be elected Commissioners,
whether the Republican or Demo
cratic party is entitled to fiji these
offices. We have the law creating
the officers on our statute books, and
candidates representing both parties
arc in the field. The law will not
be changed by the election of the
Republican candidates and the elec-
ton Of the Republican candidates ls
tho only result likely to follow the
scratching Ct the ticket by Democrats
If the law be fully the next Iegisla-
ture can charg it. The platf,Cn Of
the State Democratic party does not
require the present law ~ remaia in
full force, but asks regulation by a
commission that will have due re-
gard to the rights both OF railroads
and of those who patroa;ge railroad.
We presume there Is no objection to
the pratform in this regard, inasmuch
rs none was raised by any delegate
in the State Convention. There
were delegates in that convention
whe represented large railroad inter-
ests and if there hal been objection
to the Railroad Commission plank We
mesume these deIeSatesgwould have
been heard from. So that the ques-
tion Of change in the law is a mat
ter for the Legislature to consider
and the scratching of the Democratic
candidates from the ticket will not
change the law nor remedy any ofits
defects"

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1884-11-10

Within the last few days the New York
Tribune has lost whatever reputation it
had for fairness and honesty. Under the
management of its reatfOunder it was n.
great newspaper and welded marvellous
influence. Under its present editor 1t has
almost ceased to command the re-
spect of the most extreme
members Of the party OF which
it is an organ. In order TO mislead the
people with respect TO the result OF the
election. it has not hesitated to declare
results different from those shown by its
own figures and even TO make changes in
figures for which it had no authority.
The New York Times, calling attention
to these practices of the Tribune, COM
ments as follows: son Thursday, for ex-
ample, the Tribune gave the majority of
this city for Cleveland as 1929. Yester-
day its tables, even after cookery of the
rural counties, did not foot up sa.isfac-
torily, and it calmly changed the figures
to 1901. In the other coun-
ties its method seems to have
been to add round number of tens to the
Blaine figure, quaint. suf. In Columbia
it reversed $50, the true figure, to $50. In
Lewis it added an even 20, in Rensselaer,
an even 30, in st. Lawrence an even so, in
Wayne an even 10, in Washington an
even 100. Elsewhere a less obvious
method of cookery was employed, but
the instances of this method are numer-
Gus enough to show that its table was
false, not from failure of raw material,
but from cookery"
When the chief Blaine organ descends
to methods like those which the Times
points out to bolster up its case it is not
surprising that Wall street men who bet
on Blaine are paying their losses prompt

MIR. Beecher Satisfied.

At his Friday night lecture meeting
last week Mr.. Beecher'd did not say word
about the great Democratic victory which
he had helped to win. A large congrega-
ton was present as some comments we're
expected from him on the result OF the
election. After the congregation had dis
persed he said to friend that he had no
idea that the contest would be so close.
He felt certain, he said, that the majority
for Mr.. Cleveland IN New York would
have been at least 10000 if 1t had
not been for the undercurrent OF
corruption. Continuing, Mr.. Beeeher
said: "When the campaign opened IN
tended 10 make one speech, and one speech

blood. and 1 had to go on tasting 1t. L

The PaIafI1a Fire.

The destruction of almost the whole of
the business portion of the beautiful town
of Palatka, Florida, is a catastrophe
which entities the citizens of that place
to much sympathy. Situated on the st.
Johns river. 10 miles south of Jackson
VILE. and being the terminus of railroads
connecting it with different sections of the
State, it was a rapidly growing city,
and promised soon to become second only
to Jacksonville in importance. The
conGagratiOn may retard its growth some
what. but it's energetic citizens will soon
rebuild and devote themselves to recov-
ering their losses. Palatka will arise
from its ashes not only more beautiful
than ever, but with a more substantial
class of business houses.
This fire offers an opportunity to again
call attention to the pernicious practice
of building up towns of infammable
material. Insurance companies are 10th
to insure frame ranges in wooden
towns, and the indications are that it Will
soon be impossible to place risks on such
property anywhere. 1t always pays to
erect business houses of material as near
fireproof as circumstances VIII permit.
In welI-built towns and cities extensive
CONGREGATIONS are almost impossible.
Our own Yamacraw fire was strong
protest against wooden towns.
