BUSINESS METHODS.

Opening of the Commercial Year-How
to Make Good Beginning.
1t is customary in the cotton growing
States to date the business year from
Sept. 1. Everyone looks forward to the
time when the business pulse quickens
and new life is given to trade. One ofthe
means used to give business a good start
at the beginning Of the business year is
advertising. The enterprising mer-
chant uses the columns Of the news
paper to inform his patrons that he is
still in the land Of the living; that he has
veathered the dun season, and again
solicits their trade. The newspaper pub
Usher uses the opening Of the season to
review the business of the past year, and
20 give his city irst-class boom.
Trade editions are published and widely
distributed for the benefit largely of those
who advertise in them.
In such editions business men, whether
merchants, mechanics or manufacturers,
ought to bring their business before the
public.
Such advertising may not, in every case,
be productive Of immediate results, but
it will give their business houses stand
ng abroad that they cannot otherwise OBJ
tain.
No enterprising business man OF this
city who expects to prosper can afford to
leave an announcement of his business
out of tine Trade Edition Of the MORNING
NEWS. This edition will be issued on
Sept. 5. No efforts will be spared to make
it such an edition as every savannahian
win have reason to be proud of.

Senator Eustis and His Tomahawk.
The Louisiana Senator, Mr.. j. b. Eus-
tbs, Is reported to be ''Whetting an anti
Cleveland tomahawk," which he proposes
10 use In the Senate next winter. IL seems
that be has an idea that at the approach
ing elections in New York and Ohio the
Democrats will be defeated, and that he
will, therefore, have an opportunity to
justify the course witch he has pursued
in attacking the administration. 1t may
be that this report does Senator Eustis In
Justice, and that he does not hope that the
Democratic party will meet with disas-
ters in order that he may make war on
the administration TO better advantage.
1t is certain, however, that he is not in
harmony with the administration, and
that he is saying some things that are not
complimentary TO the President.
Senator Eustis is, doubtless, a good
hater, and will not easily forgive the
President for not permitting him TO name
the Federal oficeholders in Louisiana.
The mistake that he makes, however, is
in thinking that the Democratic party is
not In sympathy with the Presidentin the
course that he is pursuing He Is quoted
as saying that "No President ever stood
out against the will of the party that
elected him" and that "Mr. Cleveland
must either stand with his party or go to
the Mugwumps."
But is the President standing out
against his party? Senator Eustis insists
that he is, but what is the tact? Has not
the convention of every State that has
met since his Inauguration Endorsed him
Are not the people in every section Of the
country encouraging and supporting him
There may be a faction in Louisiana
that faction that wanted the Federal
offices in that State and didn't get them
that would like to have the country to
believe that the President is leading his
party to defeat and destruction, but it
would not be easy to find anywhere else
in the Democratic party marked feeling
Of hostility.
The damage that Senator Eustis will do
with his tomahawk will not be so great
that it will be impossible to repair it,
Indeed, by the time Congress meets he
may deem it wise not to use his tomahawk
at all. He may find, to his satisfaction
even, that the President is standing up to
his party, and that the party is standing
up to the President.

Mr.. Gladstone and tho English
People.

Conflicting reports are published in
England respecting Mr.. Gladstone's
health. One of them is that his mind is
failing, and that he will never again be
able to take an active part in public ar
fairs.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the Pittsburg
millionaire iron manufacturer, who re-
turned from England a day or two ago,
says that this report respecting Mr.. Glad
stones mental condition is wholly with
out foundation. Mr.. Gladstone had
planned to visit this country and return
by October, but his physician forbade him
to make the trip.
The only thing that troubles Mr.. Glad
stone is his voice. Mentally and physi-
cally he is strong, and has the promise OF
several years Of health and strength. His
admirers expect that he will be able to
address his constituents before the cleo
tions, and that his speech will be one of the
best intellectual efforts of his life.
Mr.. Carnegie says that the Liberals will
have a majority of seventy in the next
Parliament, and that the Radicals will be
masters of the situation. They Will be
much stronger than they were in the last
Parliament, owing largely to gradual
change Of sentiment among the people
and to the extension of the elective fran
chise. In the coming elections. for the
first time, a majority of the people of Eng
land will have the right to vote.
1t is noticeable that as the power of the
people is increased in England the dispo-
sition to copy American institutions
grows stronger. At present the counties
are governed by the landholders. Very
soon local governing boards will be estab-
lished, which will be elected by the people
by the people, and county officers will
be elected by the people. While there is
some expressions of DOUBT as to whether
the people will use their power wisely
the general feeling is that they WILL Mr..
Gladstone's admirers express the greatest
confidence that he will be the champion
of several other very important reforms
before he closes his political career. He
certainly has the confidence of the people
in very marked degree.

without doing much Of anything to earn his
salary. Upon receiving mis- discharge he made
great ado over it, and insisted that the ak

Democrat; had voted the ticket straight at
every election, and stood by his party even in
the face of discharge by Republican admin
istration. MIR. Montgomery looked him over

The Snake that SCARED a Cow to Deatl

Fl ON the Neqo Orleans Times Democrat.
On Tuesday last at Forests ranch. near &C.
noa, one Of the hands noticed a COW charging
showed that the animal was fighting a big
black snake and trying to stamp it TO death
with her fore feet. The thicket was an iso-
lated clump OF sage brush, and the snake did
not seem disposed to leave it and trust it's life
in the open country. Finally the COW lowered
her head and attempted to impale the snake
on her horns In an instant the snake sprang
on the cows head and rapidly coiled itself
about her horns. The COW stood dazed for an
instant, and then started off on a run. occa-
siOnally kneellng to rub her head against the
ground, but she was unable to rid herself
of her enemy. She again sought the sage
brush and tried to brush the incubus
off, but the snake only cOiled itself the
tighter and refused to be disodged.
The COW seemed finally to realize that all
her efforts were useless, and. uttering a terri
BILE below, set OF at full gallop The hands
made an effort TO follow her and turn her
back, but IN her frantic fright she Outstrip-
ped the horse, and, when cOrnered, would
charge every thing in sight. occasionally the
snake would half untwlst itself, and its head
would play before the cows eyes. On these
occasions the poor animal would below with
terror, and sometimes go fifty yards back
ward to escape.
For three hours sne ran wildly about the
fields, with the blood and foam flying from
her lips, and sweat streaming from her sides.
The rest Of the hired hep tried to throw
lasso over her horns. but could not get near
enough, and finally the poor brute dropped
from sheer exhaustion and painted out her
life. The snake was Immediately dispatched,
and was a black snake feet long.

An Exploded Scheme Which Proves
that Rev. Sam Jones Is Inimttable.
From "a .NaskeilIe 4 na

From the -NdskgiIIe A n1sricdF.
A good story is told of minister of the g~s-
pei in one of the counties in Middle Tennes-
see bordering on the Cumberland range. At
one of his appointments on Sunday recently 1t
occurred to him that he would try one OF
Sam Jones lodges on his congregation and
see how it would work. He had seen the
Reverend Sam use it with wonderful effect,
and he could see no good reason why it should
not prove equally as effective with him, and
he was badly in need of a mucilaRe Of some
sort to make his hearers stick until
he could reach the chastity" On the occasion
referred to he assembled the platform as usual,
and after the preliminary services he slowly
removed his glasses and, glancing over his
audience, remarked solemnly that he was
going to deal in some plain, unvarnished
gospel truths to-day, and would try, the L"rd
being willing and helping, to expose the hy-
pOcrisy Of protesting Christians, and if there
are any person or persons present who not
want to hear II, they have an opportunity
right now to rack out" To his utter sur
prise and constern alton, the congregation
arose as one man and tracked"

There is another denial out about Gen.
Logan's book. 1t is not to contain his
war "reminiscences at all, but his pub
Usher says it is to be "an account Of the
conspiracy which led up to the rebellion"
There are thousands Of people who have
long believed that the General would sue
coed better as a writer OF fiction than as a
historian. Perhaps he is going to swear
to Gen. Sherman's prevarication In order
to try to revive the power of the bloody
shirt and resurrect the corpse of the grand
old party.
