Br Onco Sam.

Speaking about cowboys, Sam Stewart,
known from Montana to Old Mexico as
Bronco Sam, was the chief. His special
delight was to break the warlike heart OF
the vicious wild pony of the plains aud
make him the servant of man.
There may be joy in wild gallop across
the boundless plains, in the crisp MORN
ing. on tne back of feet bronco; but
when you return with your ribs sticking
through your vest, and find that your
nimble steed has returned to town two
hours ahead Of you, there is a tinge Of
sadness about il all.
Bronco Sam, however, made a speciaIty
of doing all the riding himself. He
wouldn't enter into any compromise and
allow the horse 10 ride him.
In reckless moment he offered TO bet
$40 that he could mount and ride a wild
Texan steer. The money was put up.
That settled 1t. Sam never took water.
This WAS true in a double sense. Well,
he climbed the crOss-bar Of the corral
gate, and asked the other boys to turn out
their best steer, Marquis OF Queensberry
rules.
AS the steer passed out, Sam slid down
and wrapped those parenthetical legs of
his around that high-headed, broad
horned brute, and he rode him till the
fieet-footed animal fell down on the buffalo
grass. ran his hot. red tongue out across
the blue horizon, shook his tail convul-
siYely, swelled up sadly and died.
IL took Sam four days to walk back.
"A $40 bill looks as large to me as the
Star Spangled Banner, sometimes, but
that is an avenue OF wealth that had not
occurred to me.

Our River Range Lights

The work Of erecting the range lights
on the Savannah river, for which there
was an appropriation made nearly three
years ago, is TO be begun very soon. A
letter from Major Babcock. the engineer
in charge Of this district, which we pub
lsh this morning, shows that the titles to
the sites have been secured, and that there
is nothing In the way of vigorous and
immediate prosecution of the work All
the necessary material is slowed at
Charleston, and has been there for the
last two years. The delay in erecting the
lights was caused by the obstacles In the
way of securing titles to the sites Sc
lC3ted. The law prohibiting the erection
Of government structures on land the
title to which has not been transferred to
the government is very strict. The tone
of Major Babcock's letter indicates that
he feels that he is unjustly blamed for the
delay. There is no disposition to hold
Major Babcoek responsible to an extent
beyond his liability. Those charged with
the duty OF perfecting the titles TO the
sites are the ones who are open to criti-
cism. That fact is well understood here.
1t is believed the titles could have been
perfected much sooner if proper effort had
been made. 1t is to be hoped that now the
work will be pushed forward rapidly, and
that soon we shall have the mach needed
range lights. The thanks OF the business
men of this port are due to Representa-
tive Blount for his promptness in looking
after their interests in this matter. He
belongs to that class Of public men who
ought to be kept In Congress as long as
they will consent to remain there.

Work OF the Hotel Subscription
Committees

Committees.
Owing to the absence from the citv nj
the Chairman of the Hotel Subs,rintion
Committees, it was impossible Yesterday
I ascertain the resI,,it OF the work OF the
c'mihitteeS nus far. 1t is probable that
very ..etle has been accomplished yet.
-aefe is an impression abroad that
only large subscriptions are desired. The
impression is incorrect. Subscriptions for
small as we'll as large amounts are de-
sired, and everybody is solicited to sub
scribe. The idea is to interest every cit
izen in the enterprise. The dollar of the
poor man is needed as we'll as the check
of the rich man for hundreds or thousands
of dollars. No subscription is considered
too small. The first tangible movement
in this hotel business was brought about by
the positive offer of a we'll known hotel
man, through c. n. West. Esq, of this
city, guaranteeing per cent. net on the
cost of first-class hotel. With such
guarantee money subscribed to
the hotel VIII be we'll invested,
and the enterprise should. as an invest
ment, attract the attention OF those who
have idle money, whether the amount is
s. or $1,000. OF course many citizens
will doubtless put money in the hotel
from patriotic motives, merely to
help it along, because they believe
it will be of great benefit to Sa-
vannah, but the majority of people can
not afford to be so liberal, and in invest
ing must be satisfied that the hotel offers
safe as well as reasonably profitable
investment. We have mentioned that
there is ample spare capital in
Savannah TO build grand hotel. The only
question about getting it subscribed for
such purpose is to satisfy the people
that it will be we'll invested. We
believe from representations that have
been made respecting the readi-
ness Of several prominent hotel
keepers to lease the hotel when
completed at such rental that
the stock viii yield good dividend. Let
the committees get the facts and figures
about this part of the business and it will
have a wholesome effect upon their sub
seriptiOn lists.

prnmmers n Necessity.


A few merchants claim that a prohibi-
tory drummers' tax is necessary to the
preservation of their business. Remove
the tax, they say, and Savannah will be
overrun with drummers who will cut
rates, In their desire to get business, to
such an extent that they will practically
ruin the trade OF a certain class OF local
merchants. 1t must not be forgotten, how
ever, that prohibitory tax will not keep
out all drummers. A few will pay the tax
and some will evade it. 1t is not easy to
catch those who evade it. Merchants will
not report them, but will take advantage
Of their presence to purchase what goods
they need. The great majority of the
drummers, however, will be shut out of
the city, because they will not run the
risk of being caught and fined, and they
cannot afford TO pay the tax. 1t may be
that there are few houses whose bust
ness will not be improved by opening the
city to drummers, bat the people will be
benefited. Take the printing business,
for instance. Drummers draw thousands
of dollars worth Of this business away
from the city annually. Merchants and
business men generally will not patronize
home institution if they can get their
printing done in another city cheaper.
The only thing for the home institutions
to do is to do work as cheaply as it can
be done elsewhere. The drummers bring
the local merchant in competition with
those of distant cities, and the people are
the gamers. 4 prohibitory tax makes
high prices. A low tax encourages COM
petition and brings about low prices.
Drummers are a necessity to very large
class of merchants. This class cannot
afford to keep buyer in the Northern
markets, and cannot visit those markets
whenever an additional stock is needed.
The cost would be too great. Drummers
bring the Northern markets TO this class.
