Much Needed Improvements.

A gentleman OF prominence, who was
in Savannah for the first time few days
ago, expressed to number OF gentlemen
with whom he was ccnversing his adml-
ration Of the beauty OF the city, and his
astonishment at its business activity.
"There Is one thing that cannot under
stand, however" he said, land that is
why you are satisfied with your sandy
streets. Why do you not supplement the
se@uiY OF ycU~ city WITH the conven'-
er"es and sdvsrtaSe0 which are obtained
terru good payeGlcnts?"
The question, WIS Savannah does not
pay more aSention to street paving, &C.
ours to every visitor. Streets which are
almost impossible for teams on account
Of the sand. and which in dry weather are
the horror OF pedestrians, are drawback
to any city. Indeed, it is question
whether such streets are not detrimental
to health. They are certainly an obstruc-
ton to comfort md prosperity.
The City Council appears to De well
aware or the Importance of paving the
streets az rapiG:y as possible. 1t would
doub less do more than it does in that
direction if it received sufficient en-
couragement.' Let the people who live on
unpaved streets take hold Of the matter
and assist the Council to arouse public
sentiment in favor Of street paving.
or course everybody would like to see
all the streets paved, provided the paw
ing were done without cost to them.
Street paving costs money, however, and
every property owner on a street which
ought to be paved must agree to bear his
full snare of the expenses before the work
can be done.
There are a few public spirited citizens,
like DR.. Waring for instance, who show
that they are in favor of public improve
ments by not only working for them but
also besrins Willingly their share OF the
expense of them.
The present Council has done more for
the permanent improvement OF the city
than any preceding one, aud appears TO
be pretty fairly imbued with spirit OF
progress. 1t may be little SOW some
times, but that, doubtless, is due to a
desire to be right. 1t generally does what
the people want, if 1t can.
There was a demand for the paving of
BroughtOn street, and the demand was
quite promptly complied with. 1t is
probable if demand is made for the
pavement of any other street, and the law
is complied with, there will be a favora
BILE response. Let as much money as the
city can spare be put into pavements.

Now, he DID not Ike TO hold his rod-that was
too much like wurk-so he would put cork
on the line and then set the pole under the
seat in the middle OF the DO tt and let it hold
itself. Then he would lie back and watch the
cork. Ofcourse he got y bite. AS rule, be-
fore he could get the butt of his pole loose the
fish was on. On the occasion | sUeak Of he

Gov I,ae,s Sneech.

II the words OF Gov. Lee, of Virginia,
spoken ut the opening Of the Knights of
Labor Convention in Richmond, are
needed the future conflicts between capt.
tai and labor will be few. He pointed
out that there are two kinds of capital
ists-one of which Expresses labor aud
the other of which is necessary to and as
sists labor. 1t is important that there
should be discrimination between the
two. The failure to discriminate
may do labor incalculable harm. Gov.
Lee favored war upon those OF the great
moneyed corporations which seek to cor
rupt the ballot box and Legislatures in
order to secure laws in their own interest,
and be advised that the fangs OF the money
kings be drawn who seek to control tue
railroads and transportation lines in
order to restrict the freedom Of
the people and make it easier to
levy unjust contributions upon
them. he, however, pointed out
that labor should lend helping hand to
capital rightfully employed because the
two are necessary to each other, and one
cannot get along without the other.
Gov. Lee laid particular stress upon
the necessity for liberty of action. With
out that there can be no prosperity.
Workingmsn have Alright to combine to
improve their condition, but they have no
right to interfere with the liberty OF
others. They have right to
say that they will not work unless their
demands are acceded to, but they have nc
right to say that others shall not accept
the wages they refuse. They may refuse
to assist capital TO conduct certain kind
of business, but they strike a deadly blow
at their own interests when they under
take to say to others that they shall not
assist capital in that business, and that
capital shall not be employed in it.
The proceedings of the Richmond con
vention will be marked by great cOnserv-
atism if the Governors words have the
weight they ought to have.

Seeking Favor the Wrong Way.

Seeking Favor the Wrong Way.
The refusal of Mr.. Phelps, our Minister
to England, to present Mr.. Thorndyke
Rice at court, because Mr.. Rice, as editor
of the North American Review, had per-
mitted a rather severe criticism of Mr..
Bavard to be published IN bis periodical,
will not incre ase the Minister'S popularity
in this country.
MIR. Rice had received such civilities
from the Prince Of Wales as amounted TO
an iutimation that be should be presented
at court. lie sought the assistance of
our Secretary of Legation at London, who
kindly placed his name on the list
OF those to be presented, bu; when
the list was submitted to the Minister for
approval it was stricken of. The Minis
ter had no other reason, il seems, for his
lack OF courtesy to Mr.. Rice than that
above given. He wanted to show his
chief, Mr.. Bayard, that he was loyal to
him, and was ready to help him punish
those who have not shown that copsidera-
ton Tor him TO WHICH he may think he is
entitled.
If MIR. Bayard sustains this action Of
Mr.. Phelps he must expect TO share with
him the condemnation OF the Minister'S
conduct. While it is the privilege Of the
Minister to present at court wnom he
pleases. it is not his privilege to use his
high and honorable position TO punish
those who may have done sometnlng to
displease his superior officer.
The article published in the North
American Review was not written by Mr..
Il ce. aud it is not improbable that
he did not see it prior to its
publication. II be did see IL, and
published it, knowing all it contained,
neither Mr.. Bsyard, nor MIR. Phelps for
him. would have right on that
account TO deny him privilege accorded
to other Americans OF the same station
in life. Doubtless Mr.. Rice would have
offered his pages TO any answer 20 the
article in question which MIR. Bayard
might have been disposed 10 make. II
Mr.. Bayard has enemies be ought to
punish them in another way.

An agitation has begun in favor OF
changing Thanksgiving day from Novem-
Der to October. The Lutheran Observer
says: November was chosen by the Pu-

that festival, to which they were opposed.
Christmas there ia no reason for appoint
ing Thanksgiving day so late III the year.

doubtless have more to feel thankful for

after the fall elections.

When Senator Don Cameron of Pennsylva-
mia writes his name in hotel register he IN
yariably puts dash in front of it thus:

The dash is very long, and begins where the

the register Is very wide book the eccentric
dash of the Pennsylvania Senator is supple

Whenever he writes his name on the Fifth

he uses the double dash. A gentleman gives
this explanation:
II have lived in Washington, know Senator
Cameron well. and the reason he uses dash
before his name. He never uses lash ex-
cept on hote register. At the capital nearly
every man has q handle to his name. When

Love is cheap, and | enjoy it.
1t is another name for god

It is the only modern swindle
easily forgiven.
It's the ingredient that greas-
es the saw OF life.
It's a nice cross between re-
ligion and happiness.
Advertise 10 the EVENING CAPT.
TAI If you want il to ply
Like the olive tree, it fertil-
ICES the surrounding soil.
Self-loye is selfish. It won't
wash ana hold its color.
: It is the ondon Lancet that
tells the girls to 60 skating il
they wish to be good looking.
Some people are not constitut-
ed to love anything, and I pity
them as much as | do a spoilt
child. They were made in vain.
II constitutional, love would
not be any more OF a virtue than
the itch; but that's ustit-it re-
qnires more or less self denial
and some charity to succeed.
Transient love, when the OBJ.
ject OF alteration is away, is like
4 hottie Of cologne water-pnll
the cork and in a few days the
best part OF it is gone.
There is the common-sense
love; the kind that, when its
lavished affections are not re-
ciprocated. apparently, throws
up the claim and makes love tc
the younger sister.
ssLove at first sight is gener.
ally about as long lived as a bot,
tie of ginger pop with the cork

poets, but when you get dowr

There is a species of love tina

is of no more use in adversely

tice.
