INSPECTING AND BUYING.
The Iudden & Bates Music House
Holiday Opening.

The first day OF the Southern Music
House holiday opening witnessed one Of
the finest displays OF music and art goods
ever seen in Savannah. The handsome
establishment was decorated out
SIDE with flags and bunting, and
inside all OF the decorators art was
brought into play. The windows
were darkened and the interior was
orilllantly lighted by electricity and gas.
On the first floor, in the main salAsroom,
was displayed the general stock of art
goods, music and novelties. The Christ
mas and New Years card display was
one OF the finest ever seen in the city. In
the gallery overlooking the sales
room an orchestra was sta
toned. The piano and organ
warerooms on the second floor were filled
with pianos and organs. The walls are
hung with pictures, making an elegant
art display. The upper floors of the es-
tablishment, which are devoted to manu-
featuring. were open and were thronged
with visitors. There was steady COM
ing and going all day. and the
managers and employees o. the house

crowded from the entrance to the top

CITY EXTENSION MATTERS.
The Prompt Opening of the Streets
Financially Considered.

Financially Considered.
Editor Morning Netcs: The fact that the
Immediate opening of the streets IN the
new southern extension of the city will
certainly cause a rapid Improvement in
values, because of the speedy and extern
sive building Of houses, and the general
impulse given to such Improvement be-
cause of the settled. established and per-
manent street lines at once created BY
such settlement, is so apparent that l need
not dwell upon this part of the subject.
No one will attempt to deny that the
streets can be opened now at much
less cost than will be occasIoned by a de-
lay of five or six years; nor will any one
dispute the injustice OF locking up this
section for six years to come, or the vast
injury the city's progress and develop
ment will sustain. most cheerfully as
scribe TO the members OF Council that
prudence and foresight in this matter
which they exhibit in the MANAGEMENT of
their private affairs. One OF these gen.
tlemen informed me that he was opposed
to paying for the streets until Council
could tax this section. To meet obiec-
tons like this make the following sug-
ge tions
Let the city and the land owners ap.
point appraisers IN conformity with the
law expressly provided Tor such purposes.
If the appraisers fail to agree, or either
party objects to the apprasement, such
party can appeal to a jury. By exc
cutting the law no party can suffer very
great injustice.
Now as to the payment, let the city
settle with small holders as promptly as
possible, so they can go on building.
For all holders whose appraisements ex.
coed $1,000, let there be contracts for the
amount drawing interest at per cent.
per annum from date OF appraisement,
the interest to be paid annually, and
the principal to be paid 20 per.
cent. annually, beginning such an.
nual payments Of the principal one year
after taxes can be levied upon this sec
ton. THIS measure will open the streets
at once, give relief to all parties, and so
induce rapid Improvement that when
taxes come to be levied there will be so
much more property to collect taxes
from that it Is not impossible but these
taxes will meet the 20 per cent. called
for-at least the streets will thereby only
cost the city the actual amount of de.
tciency between the taxes collected and
the per cent. due.
/ have consulted number oflarge land
owners not now in harmony with the
Committee on Extension, aud my prOpo.
sitiOn has met with ready Endorsement. |
therefore thus publicly announce it for
the consideration and support of Council
and the general public. Respectfully
yours, LOUIS A. FALLIGANT.

Fort Bowie. His action wii1 prob ably be criticized by people of this section who believe that the Indian , ought to be hung. This certainly would have been, to the people of the territorles, the most satisfacto ry manner of dlsposing of the hos tiles, and would have been what they richly deserved, but the pres dent seems to have been inhuenc ed, to a certain extent, by eastern humanitarians, who would have been heard from Maine to Callfor- mia had these guileless children of nature been hung for murders which they have committed during the past ten months. The presi- ident by his action, has done noth- ing to offend the Indian lovers of the east. while he has removed from the territories a part of the most blood thirsty band of Indians that ever daubed their dirty faces with war paint He has deprived the people of the satisfaction of knowing these fiends were choked to death, but if he will keep them in Florida and send the remainder of the band to join them, at the earliest possible opportunity, he will not be too harshly critisized by the frontiersmen of the west. Geronimo Is a great general, but we doubt very much whether he will be able to out wit an army of alligators as easily as he did Gen. Crooks army. He may be able to conduct ten months campaign in the swamps of Florida, without loss, but if he does he is a greater general than we have given him credit for being.-Deming Head light.

A meeting was held in New York recently under the auspices of the Indian Rights Association, at which a letter from President Cleveland was read. In 1t he ex- pressed sympathy with the move ment to help the red men, and asked: "What are the most efiec- tive means which can now be adopt cd for the civilization of the In dians?" The answer is simple. The same means which have been used for several years in the civil ization of Caucasians. Let them be treated as responsible beings; protect them in their property, in- sist on them performing duties as citizens, and educate their child ren; imprison them when they steal and hang them when they murder. Like causes produce like effects, and since the course we have laid out has been measurably successful with white men, it Is time it was thoroughly tried with the Indians. There is nothing mysterious or even difficult about the Indian question; the evils that has resulted have been the natural consequences of a bad system very badly executed.-Yuma Sentinel.
 What will be done with Geroni- mo and his small following forms the only Apache problem to be solved. From what is known of this cunning chief it is safe to say that he will never surrender with out conditions which will save him from paying the penalty of his crimes. He can maintain himself for many months in the Sierra Madre, or, at the worst if he is starved out there, he can seek safe ty with the Yaquis of Sonora, who would probably welcome leader of his address and skill. What the people of Arizona and New Mexico, who have suffered from this savage, should do is to organ ize well equipped band of regula- tors, secure permission from the Mexicans to follow the hostiles, hunt them down with bloodhounds and clean them out One hundred men used used to border Indian warfare could do this work, and we fancy tbat were Geronimo dis posed of in this fashion no one ]; E: ::'|I||||||l|||| $: ||IiIilliii
