BUSINESS METHODS.

Opening of the Commercial Year-HOw
to Make n Good Beginning.
1t is customary in the cotton growing
Btates to date the business year from
Bept. 1. Everyone looks forward to the
zine when the business pulse quickens
and new life is given to trade. One ofrhe
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
Weathered 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
10 give his city a frst-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 a stand
ng abroad that they cannot otherwise OBJ
tain.
No enterprising business man OF his
city who expects to prosper can afford to
leave n announcement Of his business

After a long absence from the attention
Of the public, the Rornuey marsh improve
ment promises to again occupy a prOmi-
nent position. The MORNING NEWS
called attention time and again last win
ter to the misapplicatiOn Of the river and
harbor improvements appropriation in
digging a canal to Warsaw leland in
stead of opening Understands cut. The
former work, it was held at the time,
would be of little, if any, use to the COM
merce OF Savannah, while the latter
would open a good route through
Romney marsh. The articles OF the
MORNING NEWS, backed as they were by
the personal arguments OF Hon. John G.
Nichols, member Of Congress, failed to
stop the waste Of public money, and the
work has been going on ever since. After
an expenditure Of S15, 900 the cut is about
half done, and an appropriation will be
asked for to continue it. 1t is rumored
that in view OF the doubtful
utility of the cut when completed
the Engineer Department will recon-
mend that no further appropriation be
made. Il ia a pity that so much money
should have been wasted that might rave
been applied so as TO benefit this city, but
it is better that $25, 900 should be lost than
$1,000. 1t might be well for the engineer
officers to recommend that an appropria-
ton be made to carry out their original
recommendations, namely, the improve
ment of Romney marsh, by opening
Habersham's cut. The MORN
NEWS does not propose
to go over the argument it has so often
used in favor Of the improvement of u
inland water ways. The value of these
water ways TO Savannah is too apparent

The Opposition TO Morrison and
Randall.


1t appears to be conceded that Mr.. Car
Isle will be reelected to the speakership
of Congress. No other candidate has yet
appeared and no other one is talked of.
The Speakership question being practi-
cally disposed of considerable discussion
is going on about the chairmanships OF
the principal committees. Mr.. Carlisle is
being advised by some, if chosen Speaker,
not to appoint Mr.. Morrison Chairman Of
the Ways and Means Committee and by
others not TO appoint Mr.. Randall
Chairman Of the Appropriations Commit
tee. Both Mr.. Morrison and Mr.. Randall
have strong friends, and they also have
their enemies. OF course, we are speak
ing Of them az public men. The protec-
tonists in the party don't want III. Nor
rison At the head of the Ways and Means
Committee, and they viii DO ali they can
10 prevent bis appointment 10 that place.
His chances are good for getting 1t
again, however, because he il favored by
a very large majority OF the party. There
is also another thing in his favor hatdoes
not appear to have been taken into c0nsid-
Grafton by those who are predicting that
he will have TO be satisfied with
a much less important place. 1t is that
the President has very great respect for
him and, II reports are 10 be credited,
trusts him more fully than any other
Congressman This being the case, and
also assuming that the administration
will present a plan for reducing the tariff,
it is only reasonable TO suppose that the
President would like TO have a man at the
head of the committee, which viii have
charge OF all tariff matters, in whom he
has confidence and with whom he is on
the ~pleasantest terms.
The opposition to the appointment of
Mr.. Randall to the chairmanship OF the
Appropriations Committee will, from
present indications, be very strong. He
leads a small minority In the House, and
il 10 charged hat he uses his position so
as to prevent harmony in the party.
The opposition to him is not wholly CON
lined to the fact hat he Is not in harmony
with his party on the most important
question with which it has to deal. Many
Of the members declare that he
is di~ctatorial and OVerbearing, and
they want him put where he will not be
so prominent
IL is probable, however, that not
withstanding the opposition to
aim ne will occupy his Old place.
Mr.. Carlisle is a very conservative man,
and is not apt to pursue a radical course
except for very excellent reasons.
1t is safe to say, therefore, that from
the present outlook Mr.. Carlisle viii be
Speaker, and that Mr.. Morrison and Mr..
Randall will have the chairmanships of
the two most important committees.

The Editor Was There.

From the Net0 Orleans Times Democrat.
A few years ago Il large number OF railway
passenger agents were congregat "a at Jack
s%Onyille, fla, endegyoring 70 secure business
for their respective roads, as the travel Of
Northern tourists happened to be very large
that winter. While tie PASSENGER agents
we're i~niesting the hotels and making things
lively and having q jolly time among thenl-
selves, the editor OF one Of the Jacksonville
papers came out in an editorial and called the
passenger agents b~Ody-snatChCr3 and declared
that they were a nuisance and stated in posi-
tive terms that they should be Kept away
from the depots by the police. The article
aroused the ire OF the passenger men and they
held a meeting at a hotel 10 devise ways and

A Parrot,s Tragic Death.


Thomas Green, the proprietor OF Green's
hotel, allowed his poll parrot to walk about
on the acknowledge Of one of the second
story windOs-s last night. The window was
Oten and polly lost her balance and fell on her
head on the Chestnut street pavement. AS
she fell she uttered a shrek which attracted
the attention of Reserve Officer Gregg Dough
erty- who was standing ON the corner Of
Eighth street. He ran and picE ed the parrot
up. As he carried it into the hotel the parrot
said:
"POlly's sick"
Blood trickled from it's green-feathered
head as the officer handed Il 20 Chief Clerk
Diamond, and the bird said again, as it closed
its eyes:
"folly's sick"
The wife Of the hotel proprietor, who
thought a gr at deal of the bird, s0othed 1t in
her hands ard strOked the wounded head.
"POlly's sick" said the parrot again, and
then, az the blood flowed down into its eyes,
II tried to brus4 It away with its claws.
While its bleeding head was beng washed it
repeated a number Of times:
"POlly's sick"
For an hour it lay perfectly quiet, with its
eyes closed, and then suddenly repeated
again:
"POlly's sick"
A moment later the parrot fell over dead.

The English sportsmen do not appear to
be o%yerconndent in the Genests. 1t seems
TO be generally admitted that she is MOI
the fastest pleasure yacht in England.
The London SATURDAY ReUieto saws:
"She will sail with bat a small
chance ~ofsuccess, as she will have to con.
tend with ceuterboGrd craft built ex-
pressly for this contest. The centerboard,
a vile type, Is for excellent reasons con-
demned by all English yacht clubs, but
undoubtedly vessels belonging to 1t have
very great speed in light breeze and
smooth water" 1t would DO interesting
to know why the Englishmen condemn
the centreboard yachts. They will doubt
less change their views on this subject II

The Spread Of the English Language.
From Tie Times OF Lndia.


A short time back Mr.. Bright delivered a
speech welcoming the Marquis Of RipOn back
to England, and dwelling on al the adyan-
tages which the rule OF his lordship had pro-
cured Tor this country. Among other things
Mr.. Bright said he was glad to learn that our
noble English language, the Language u Mil
ton, was becoming better known in India,
and was spreading to the masses Of the peo-
plc-or words TO that effect. TIE other day,
happening TO be walking by the barracks, |
received 4 striking proof OF the correctness Of
Mr.. Brights assertion. Three very small
boys were having an improyised game of
cricket. The wicket was represented by a
piece OF board resting against a large stone,
the bat was a splint from some old box, and
the ball was old and angular
The day was not and the three little cricke-
teFs had dispensed with cricketing costume.
In fact. they had nothing on bu. the rhiny
brown skin with which kind Mother Nature
had endowed them ~ their birth. But they
pl9vea The game with the utmost earnestness
and vIk0r, as they had often seen the soldiers
dong outside The barracks. ~'Pla-a-a-y!"
shouted the bowler as ne delivered the ball
frora a I'd distance OF about five yards. "Tpout,"
exclaimed the wicket keeper joyfully, as the
BOARD tuulbled DAMN said the
youthful batter enerCcticalIy rs he gave up
the bat and took up the ball. Truly, / thought
a | watched this scene, Mr.. Bright Is quite
right. and the knowledge of our noble Eng
heh language, the language of Milton, Is de-
cldedly hltering dow to the masses of the
people.

A Venerable EridaI party.


A gray-bearded man, with STOPPING shoul-
ders and skin like parchment, entered the
County Clerks office. His eyes sparkled like

head "a ne danced toward Marriage License
Clerk oloman The old man placed his Jug
on ~S0lom8p's counter. and then laughed SO
lcud that County Clerk Ryan came out of his
office and peeked over the desks at the mar
riage clerks window. License Clerk Soloman
and the gray bearded man put their heads to-
gether. Then the old man laughed out again.
Out came a glass, and, fitting his stone jug,
Clerk SOloman's queer customer poured out
some good red wine. The men in ne office
came out Of their places. The glass was soon
empued, and then it was flied up again.
Clerk Soloman slipped the license under the
queer customers nose. It read:
No o. oo7 Franz Bauman, age so.

The old man shook his head. Clerk Solo
man bowed gracefully and wrote out the sig
natures. The queer customer raised his rig t
baud. Something was muttered ana The
license was shipped through to Cashier DIVER.

When it was all over he laughed again; took

The Republican leaders in New York
city are in a %quandary. Their primaries
are to be held soon, and they feel that it
is important to begin at once to marshal
their hosts for the approaching election.
They claim $4,000 votes in the city, but
they only have some 10000 enrolled and
qualified to vote for delegates to the State
convention. When the machine essayed
the work Of recognizing the party last
winter, there was little enthusiasm in the
ranks and the resolution to debar the
Mugwumps was not a profitable one
viewed from the standpoint of party dis
cipline. Now the votes OF the Mug
wumps are wanted, and, Of course, il is
desirable that they shall be brought back
into fun fellowship with the party. The
Times asks some questions and makes
some remarks that 10 not tend to relieve
the Republican COMMITTEES OF its embar-
rassmont. II says: ''The con-
stitutlon of the present ~Organiza-
ton deprives anybody of the
right to vote in the primaries who is not
enrolled. Can the committee under it's
general powers set this aside and open
the primaries to all Republicans? II the
enrolment is set aside, how is it to be
determined that all persons Offering to
vote are Republicans at all? All this
concerns the committee. Those who
could not stand the fundamental test
viz; voting for Blaine, are not likely to
worry. Their test comes when the ticket
is presented for them to vote for"
