The PLEA Is made that the state Of
Texas should go into the river and harbOr
appropriation business because 1t would
be a benefit to Texas. In that ease the
state should begin at Arkansas Pass
where they could secure the greatest
depth of water and the best shipping ia
cllities for the least money. Put the
proposition in this form and the journals
that are bowling for deep water har-
Dor at the expense Of the state would be

RErRENCHMENT and reform have struck
this democratic administration about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon of Its useless
existence. 1t has saved few thousand
dollars by cutting of pensions from des-
titute union soldiers, and now comes
farther reduction by cutting down the
educational bills ofthe District Of Co.
lumbia and shutting the schools until
November !, for want Of funds. When
reform strikes democratic administra-
ton 1t is safe to bet that retrenchment
commences with pensions and school
funds. Loyalty and intelligence are not
necessary to good party record.

A Chance for Enterprise.

The fall trade has already begun, and
the merchants of this city are doubtless
prepared for it. They must not over
look the fact that anew territory has been
opened to them since last fall The COM
pletion of the Savannah Valley railroad,
and of the road to Spartanburg, presents
a field that they cannot afford to neglect.
1t is field that will respond readily to
the right sort OF advances, and it will
yield good returns if worked well.
The Central is gradually putting out
new arms as it becomes able to do so,
and each arm ought to, and no doubt will,
contribute something to Savannah's
wealth and prosperity. The road, how
ever, cannot do everything. When the
way is open to our merchants to extend
their trade they must take advantage OF
it--not In half-hearted sort of way, but
firmly and vigorously. They must send
active drummers to the new field and pre-
sent inducements that will tend to turn
the attention of the people this way.
Railroads and newspapers can do a
great deal towards building up town,
but they cannot do everything. The rail-
ways afford the facilities which are neces-
sary to trade, and the newspapers stir
the people up, show them where they
can buy TO the best advantage, and in
spire merchants with the spirit OF enter
prise. The business men must do
their part. There is opportunity
tor them to do something along the lines
of the Centraps roads IN South Carolina.
They ought not to wait to see if the trade
of this territory will come to them. They
ought TO seek it out at once while there is
a little boom there in favor of Savannah.
Savannah is growing and her business
must be increased to sustain her inoreas-
ing population. The towns which are the
most prosperous arc those which do the
most to help themselves. Savannah is,
perhaps, the most prosperous city in the
State, but it is in her power to be much
more prosperous. What is needed is a
little more energy and enterprise. She
cannot have too much of those two

The Belfast Riots.

Various reasons have been given for the
Belfast riots, but the reason given by the
Roman Catholic Bishop OF Down
appears TO be the correct one.
He says that the Loyalist press,
and the lecturers and preachers
who call themselves Loyalists. nave
melted the Orangemen to acts Of violence
with tho purpose of proving that Catholi-
cism is disloyalty. 1t is no doubt true
that in all the rioting that hss taken place
In Belfast the Orangemen have been the
aggressors. The Catholics have, all along,
acted on the defensive, and have shown
resistance only in defense of their lives
and property. One Of the strongest proofs
that the Orangemen have been the aggres.
sors is that in the districts in which the
Catholics are largely in the majority the
Protestants have lot been molested. The
Bishop Of Down also says that the state
ment that the police have sided with the
Catholics lie not true. They have, he de-
olsres, only done their duty to the best of
their ability without any purpose Of favor
ing either party. The Belfast riots are
certainly TO be regretted. They show
condition Of feeling that only needs little
encouragement TO precipitate a civil war.
Ex-Speaker Keifer has Withdrawn from
the contest for the Republican Congress
sional nomination in the Eighth Ohio dis
trlct, and no tears Of regret appear to
have been shed. 1t is usual to shed
tears over political corpse that has been
laid to rest as long as the Keller corpse
