Agricultural Work of Nature

Professor Henry Drummond remarks

Your foot is likely to land on round

Mr.. Woods Proposition .

The Centennial celebration made it
very clear that she thing that this city
needs more than anything else a I present
is large, commodiOus hotel, constructed
upon modern plan. with all the modern
appliances During Centennial week a
large number of people declined to stop al
the hotels because they couldn't get rooms.
They doubtless could have got a place
to sleep, but that was not all they wanted.
A great many people, we are informed,
who would like to have visited the city
during the celebration did not do so, be-
cause they did not think that they could
getsuch accommodations as they wanted.
This last demonstration of the necessity
for large and comm0diOus hotel ought
to convince those VINO are interested in
the prosperity Of the city that they should
make supreme effort 10 secure what the
city so much needs. There is no better
time than the present to take hold OF this
hotel business and make it a success.
Mr.. Wood, who has taken so much in
terpst in the matter, in a dispatch to the
MORNING NEWS, says that If the people
of Savannah will raise $40, 900 he is pre-
pared TO furnish the remaining sum re-
quired to build a 200-roOm hotel on the
barracks lot, and have it ready for occu-
patton by January 1st of next year. He
also says that he has tenant for the hoseI
who will furnish 1t and occupy it as soon
as it is completed.
This is clearly the best offer that has
yet been made, and there is no insur-
mOuutable obstacle in the way of its ac-
ceptance by the people of this city. The
sum named by Mr.. Wood can certainly be
secured with ease If the effort to secure
it is undertaken in the right way
The hotel matter is still in the hands OF
the committee OF %, and it might be ad-
vsable for the chairman of 1t to call it
together for the purpose of giving Mr..
Woods proposition the consideration 1t
deserves

The Anarchists Condemned.

Several trades unions have passed res
olutions condemuing the Chicago anarch-
iste, and it's probable that others VIII DO
the same thing. Workmen could not
make greater mistake than TO sympa-
thize with the men who propose to DEFY
all law, aud to force the acceptance OF
their ideas with bombs and dynamite.
Archbishop GiDbon, on last sunday IN
Baltimore, very properly designated them
as land plra'es preying upon the indus
tries and commerce OF the country.
What 10 the anarchists care for the
workmen? Whal have they TO offer to
them more than they now nave? If they
could have their way how would the
wage-earners be benefited? These are
questions which workmen ought to study
carefully before taking up with ideas
which are certain to lead to poverty and
death. The anarchists want u destroy.
not to build up, and in a period OF de-
structIon where is the place for work
men? The best wages is earned When
the country is prosperous. Stop the in
Gus,ries of the country, throw obstruc-
tions in the way Of its business and hum

now the abodes Of comfort and plenty.
While there are good features to trade
unions, aud while there can be no ObJec-
tons to such unions as long as they are
managed IN harmony with the ideas upon
which they are founded, it VIII hardly be
denied that in very many cases they are
hurtful rather than beneficial to faithful
and skillful workmen. A conscientious
and thoroughly qualified workman can
always get employment at wages salts
factory 10 MIN. He is always i'm demand.
As rule 1t is the thriilless and incOmpe-
tent workman who is dissatisfied, and
who is always trying to drag the really
good workman into position to pro-
tect him. In one sense the effect
OF unlOAs is to put inferior workmen on
a level with superior wOrkmen. Where
wOrkmen are paid by the hour, for in
stance, instead of by the piece, a mans
superior skill or strength doesn't bring
MIN any extra compensation, and it is
doubtful If labor organization would
permit discrimination in favor of supe-
rlOr qualifications for the same work.
We have got to see any sign OF sympa-
thy with the anarchists in any respecta-
Bile journal in this country. The Ameri-
can people Of all classes seem to recOg-
nize the fact that the anarchists must be
put down at once, that between their doc
trines and those upon which our institu-
tions are founded there is an irrepressi-
bic conflict, and that the continual pros
perity of this country requires the prompt
suppression within It's borders OF anarch-
ism, socialism and nihilism.

N1r. cIeveIand,s Pension vetoes.


The President deserves credit for his
courage in vetoing a pension bill and for
cOndemning in his veto message the prac-
tice OF Congress Of granting pensions to
persons whose claims have been rejected
by the Pension Bureau. HIS position,
that il the government maintains a
bureau tor the settlementof these claims
IL ought TO respect its work, is the correct
one. II the bureau isn't efficient it ought
to be made 50.
AS a matter OF fact 1t is efficient, and
because It is a great many fraudulent
claims are rejected. 1t is well equipped
with detectives, examiners and experts
of various kinds 1t is very costly
piece Of government machinery, and the
frequency with which Congress ignores
its decisions, and without careful Inyesti-
cation acts fayorably upon claims which
it has rejected, indicates nothing more
nor less than disposition to bring it into
di-credit.
The fact, doubtless, is that Congressman
are so anxious to vote pensions to ex-
soldiers that they don't care much
whether their claims are Just ones or not.
The message of Mr.. Cleveland, however,
will cause them 10 hesitate in passing
pension claims without giving them care
iul consideration.
There was another veto message sent to
Congress by the President last week that
is worthy of notice. A bill had been
passed for the ostensible purpose Of in
creasing the pension of a widow, but
which, in fact, deere ased it. The matter
is important as showing that pension bills
are passed without anybody's knowing
what they contain. committee IS
charged with the duty of examining
them. The duty involves great deal OF
work, much more than the committee or
any member of il cares do The commit
tees clerk, perhaps, is told to get up
report on the bills. He isn't paid to do
that sort of work. He probably reports,
however, that the bills are all right. Con-
gress accepts the report and they are
passed without even the formalIty of a
reading. And yet 1t is this sort ofeXamina-
tion of pension claims that some Con-
gressmen want substituted for the
thorough and intelligent examination
given them by the Pension Bureau. 81
Congress has too much business TO at
tend to. 1t Will never serve the country
as it ought to serve it until the rules OF
the two Houses are so amended that it
will be impossible to legislate upon special
matters.
