SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN DEL
EGATES.
Efforts to Guide Their Action.
BLAINE's STRENGTH I'm NEW
YORK.



WASHINGTON, d. c.. May PA meeting of
prominent Republicans was held here to-day, at
which resolutions were adopted asking Republicans
at the South who hold county or district meetings
to advise their delegates to Chicago to meet with
delegates from Northern States likely to give Re-
pubicans their electoral votes and consult to the
duty of Republicans in the selection of man who
can be relied to carry the Northern States where
Republicans have reason to expect success The
resolutions also call directly upon all delegates from
Democratic States to consult informally with those
from Republican States to this end.
majority of those present were from Republi-
can States, and are men who have been always
regarded as Stalwarts. The unanimous opinion ex
pressed is that Blaine is the man most likely to
carry New York, one prominent New Yorker de-
claring that he was confident he could do SO, even
against Tilden.
Copies Of the resolutions to be sent to all the
Republican organizations in the South. P.

for the Sabbath and the church which is omi-
nous for the future. In Chicago today, the
president OF jockey club, who is q graduate
Of Yale College, is attempting to secure by law
the privilege of horse racing on Sunday.
From such community what surprises may
como. When they do, the the soldiers Of the
grand army of the republic, will respond to the
call OF mayor, or governor, or president.
Meanwhile let them teach the citizens to be
forever on guard. In closing the speaker de-
scribed a scene he had beheld when the
sunset colors made flag in the sky. He had
thought that it was flag made by man hang
ing across the street. He found that it was
flag made by God. Often had he thought of
it as symbol of his divine purpose to m AXE
America great agent In the progress Of man
kind. From these flags upon the platform let
us look to the flags in the sky. Above 1t, we
can see the faces Of the heroes who died to save
their country. They speak to us today. They
are glad to be remembered. They accept our
homage. They say let men respect their su-
periors-let them reverence the authority of
law-let them sacrifice for liberty and law
let them ever be interested in the great battle
forever going on between wright and wrong
let them ever stand on guard against the enc
mics Of order. So shall the republic be safe in
the days OF the future.
FIRST PARISH.
Rev. DR.. A. P. Peabody, Professor of Chris
tian Morals at Harvard University, occupied
the pulpit at the First Parish church yesterday,
and preached very able sermon, the theme
being Worship the Lord in the beauty of holi-
ness.''
What constitutes holiness? First, beauty ha 8
no sharp angles. for sharp angles do more than
anything else towards keeping the soul from
being beautiful.
Secondly, the beauty of holiness belongs to
the whole life; to play as well as to work; to
the least things as well as the great.
Thirdly, the beauty of holiness admits per-
petual growth because there is divine perfect
ion in our Saviour and one may spend life
and an, eternity in growing more like him.
We need the beauty of holiness for our own
sake as 1t alone can give as perfect peace. We
need it for others as we can do very little good
without it, and it is the only true worship OF
God.

ever held by them, and have Shown themse w.

The Prohibitory Amendment.
fAnsov, Advocate nax,,

While we have no faith in the utility OF the
amendment, we do know that thousands of
Democrats in the Templar Lodges and Reform
Clubs have, and will not only vote for it. but
will resent and defy any attempt at dictation.
1t is almost absolutely certain that the amend
ment will be adopted and to organize the
party against it would not only be futile but
simple suicide. Some of the Democratic news
papers seem to squint strongly to an anti
amendment plank in the Democratic platform.
The Bangor Commercial is outspoken for it.
This may be popular in the cities, bat would
paralyze the party everywhere else

Cholera Eacts.

4 special cable dispatch TO the New
York Times gives some interesting facts
relative to the cholera epidemic in Europe.
Il seems that in France there is very
little confidence in DR.. Koch's mierobe
theory. The French doctors in the Paris
hospitals have generally condemned it,
and the Marseilles commission doctors
say that many experiments which they
made failed to sustain it. A Bombay
official and cholera expert has shown his
contempt for the theory by swallowing
quantity Of bacili without harmful re-
suits, The Marseilles commission, in
very elaborate report, says it ''could
automatically trace a cholera patients
condition by an hourly examination Of
the blood, the healthy glObules remaining
stationary, and the unhealthy ones flow
ing between columns formed by others
and taking them gradually of until the
column is ruptured.'' The commission
claims that cholera is not contagious, and
concludes that 'swhile we know better
than our predecessors what the
cholera is not, edo not know what it is"

Another Hotel scheme

The outlook for the proposed hotel on
the barracks property doesn't look PROM
Using. The proposition TO donate the prop
ertv to any one who will build the hotel
DOESN'T meet with the approval of the
shareholders. The fact is, it is improba-
bic that any plan can be devised for Sc
curing the hotel that will command the
hearty cooperation Of the ninety owners
Of the barracks site. Gradually the prop
ertv will fall into a few hands. 1t is said
that some of the owners have already sold
their shares at so cents on the dollar.
Others, perhaps, are ready TO dispose Of
their interests at a sacrifice. 1t doesn't
appear now as If it would ever be possible
to carry out the original idea Of building
a hotel on that square of ground. Those
who will eventually possess the property
will. perhaps, have other plans with re-
gard to it.
But is il not possible to build hotel
such as the city wants elsewhere than on
the barracks property, and by other
means than have yet been suggestedS
A scheme was proposed in a cOmmuni-
cation to the MORNING NEWS few days
ago which seemed TO be feasible. A cor
respondent furnishes the following scheme
which has merit, and which, doubtless,
will commend itself to many Of those who
will take the trouble to cOnsiderit:
Five thousand shares Of stock to be paid
for in installments Of 81 per month will
produce a capital Of $500, 900 in 81. years.
This is a shorter time than the run Of any
loan and building ASSOCIATION in the city.
The run would be 50 months, and, con-
seauentlv, each share, when paid up,
would be worth $50. Whatman or woman
is there in Savannah who would not be
willing TO contribute $50 in ga years for
the building Of a hotelI
The most feasible plan would be to
make a nelc commencement. Let new
company be formed upon this basis and
purchase or lease the Pavilion Hotel site.
That is amply large if the building is
brought out TO the street. 1t is nearer
the business centre. and hotel there
would be what the kim5an House IS TO
Atlanta hotel all the year round for all
people.
and perhaps would, pay the whole sub
scriptiOn at once, and thus bonus would
be secured upon which TO base loan for
the purpose Of erecting the improvements
at once.
1t is certainly possible to make this
scheme successful. All that is necessary
is 10 get an energetic man to take hold OF
il and give a reasonable amount Of time
TO it. In a city of the size Of this 1t
ought not 10 be impossible TO get the nee
| essary number Of shares taken. If the
originator OF this scheme were to receive
some encouragement he would undertake,
| doubtless, to see what could be done
towards making it a success.
