Need of a Navigable Water Way
Through Romney Marsh.

There is a large and rapidly increasing
business on the Altamaha river. The
principal down freights are naval stores
and the up-freights are supplies for the
hands employed IN the turpentine or
chards. Three steamers run regularly
from Dcetortown. where the Savannah.
Florida and Western Railway crosses the
river. and where there Is a wharf
and warehouse for the accommoda-
ton of freights. \ company has been
recently organized in Brunswick for the
purpose of establishing line of steamers
on the Altamaha. The government has
expended large sum in the Improvement
OF this river. and it is now one of the most
navigable rivers in Georgia. The i'm
mense timber trade Of Darien ard
its outer port, Doboy, receives its
supplies from the Altamaha and its tribu-
taries. along the banks of which are the
finest timber trees in America. Nature
has provided an inland water way which
connects all the rivers emptying into the
Atlantic with the port Of Savannah, and in
former days our city did the bulk OF
the trading along the coast and the rivers
emptying into the Atlantic between Tybee
and Amelia Islands. The only obstacle
to the full development Of this coast and
river trade in the interest Of Savannah is
the Romney marsh. To make this marsh
nayigable at all tides il is necessary TO
open Understands cut.
The river and harbor bill is now pend
ing before the House. 1t provides for an
appropriation Of $4,000 to continue the
work Of opening a channel through Rom
ney Marsh. 1t does not provide, however,
that the appropriation shall be used to
open Understands cut.
1t is to be hoped that in the in
terest eff the commerce of Savannah,
our city authorities, the Gotten EX-
change. the Board of Trade and other
bodies viii take action in this matter and
memorabilia Congress on the subject Not
a cent more should be wasted on the
Warsaw cut. The MORNING News has no
hostility. having no reason to have it, TO
the enterprise which the owner or
| owners Of Warsaw Island are engaged in,
but let them develop their property at
their own cost. and let the public money
be expended for the public good.

CONTENTION NOTES.
Delegates Gathering at Chicago.

Delegates Gathering at Chicago,
John Stewart, Of Pennsylvania, who
was the Independent Republican candi-
date for Governor in 1888, has been select
cd as the Columbian orator to present
Blaine's name to the Chicago Convention.
This selection has been approved by
Blaine.
The committees found that the capacity
Of the hall had heretofore been underesti-
mated. Nearly 1000 seats will be assign
ed to holders Of stage and press tickets
and 1900 more TO delegates, alternates
and contesting delegations. Then 5000
seats. including 1000 in each OF the gal
leries and 30 in the private boxes, Will
be left for the general public. A member
of the committees measured the nall TO-
day and found that it was exactly thirty
feet less in length than the hall Of 1880.
But what il lacks in length is partly made
up in the arrangement of chairs.
They are placed closer than IN
1880 and are a little smaller. The only
trouble TO be apprehended Is that the seats
will not be wide enough and there will be
a great deal of crOYding. This morning,
when the committees explored the hall,
they made a discovery which caused
some amusement. They found that the
directors Of the building, who applied for
600 seats and were refused, had surrep-
titiously constructed platforms for about
100 seats up in the west fly Of the build
ing, access is obtained by stairway
leading TO the Treasurer's office, outside
OF the hall proper, so that the committees
have really no authority over the tres
passers.
BLAINE's PACIFIC COAST COLUMN.
There are indications of a Blaine boom,
which will receive an impetus next Satur-
day morning when the Pacific coast dele
gates arrive by special train, which is
now coming across the continent with
banners announcing that the delegates
are tor Blaine and victory. They will be
reinforced probably on Sunday morning
by his friends from New ork and Penn
sylvania, and on Monday by the delegates
from Iowa and Kansas.

a laborer saved an excursion train on
the Louisville and Nashville road from
being wrecked on Monday night, on Elys-

People who have occasion to cross the
great deep do not read the accounts Of
the races Of the great ocean steamers
with much assurance. The anxiety to
make the quickest time possible is causing
ship Captains TO strain their vessels and
machinery TO their utmost, and to take
many risks, perhaps, which ought to be
avoided It IS likely that the racing will
be continued until prohibited by law, or
until some great disaster traceable direct
Iy to it shall cause an outburst Of public
indignation against it.

made has been discussed with good deal
or spirit. or course the demonstration
that occasioned il did not amount 70

people Of Charlotte aud vicinity are justly

Secretary OF Assistant Secretary OF the
meeting. which adopted the declaration
and that the same distant relative drew

Not every "friend of the President"
puts his trust n the estimates Of the num-
Der of Arthur delegates recently sent far
ana wide from Washington. Those esti-
mates, which gave him 81 sure votes and
about 50 doubtful ones. were swollen for
political effect. The immediate friends Of
the President have other estimates for
their private use. One Of these private
estimates was brought TO this city from
Washington this afternoon. and it gives
Arthur 345. with a doubtful list of about
80. The same estimate allows Blaine 333.
and those who rely upon it account for
Arthur's majority over Blaine by saving
that the President has been picking up
delegates every day for three weeks. 1t
does not appear that this estimate has
been given QUITO publication. If Blaine's
lieutenants were here they would prOba-
bly, challenge the accuracy of these figures
and place their candidate at the top OF the
list, and far above Arthur.

Ex-Speaker Keifer is not vet through
with the keifer-B0ynton trouble. His
chief witness against BOynton was man
named Elder. This man Elder was not be-
lieved by the committee which investl-
gated the charges which Keller made
against Boynton. 4 day or two ago Elder
presented to Keifer a bill for his services
amounting to $3.50. Keifer refused to pay
and Elder wrote him a threatening letter.
In his letter he says: 1T may be that

the course likely to be pursued by the In
diana delegation. II is generally under
stood that Mr.. New is mortal enemy of
Blaine, and it is supposed that he does
not really love Gen. Arthur, but as be-

are those who think that when the dele
