The Savannah Harbor Appropria-
tjOu

Whatever may be said against Senator
Brown by those who do not admire him as
public man, it will not be denied by his
buerest political enemies that he is
always at the front when Georgia is to be
served.
Inc House appropriated $4,000 tor the
savannah harbOr. although $780, 900 was
asked for and is needed. Mr.. Norwood did
well to get that sum. The demand for
river ana harbor appropriations was so
great that only those who were persistent,
ard backed by a good deal of personal in
tlueuce, were able to get their demands
even considered.
Wnen The river and harbor bill reached
the Senate Senator Brown hadthe amount
increased to $40, 600, while it was in the
hands of the committee, and when it was
taken up by the Senate for consideration
he had he amount stll further increased
tn 100000. This latter sum viii 20 long
way towards completing our harbor i'm
provements so far as contemplated by the
existing survey ana plans.
Mr.. Norwood Will have great difficulty
in holding the appropriation at $500 900
when the bill goes back to tue House.
The disposition of the conference com
mittee, to which the bill will, OF course,
gO-or at least the House members Of it
viii be 10 strike out all of the Senate
amendments, and to bring 1t within the
limits it occupied when it left the House.
If any of the Senate amendments are
saved, however, Mr.. Norwood will likely
save those increasing the Savannah bar
Dor appropriation. He has done very
well for this district-better than was
done for it by any other one of its repre-
setlatlves within perhaps the last twenty
years-and has, therefore, inspired conf
dence IN his ability to do as much
as it is possible to do towards holding the
appropriation at its present figures.
Savannah cannot expect to be especially
avOred, but she likes TO feel that she
has representative who is capable OF
0ayiug her treated as fairly AS other To-
calitIes are.
The remarks of Senator Beck, when the
motion Of Senator Brown to increase the
Savannah harbor Appropriation was
under consideration, are worthy of more
than passing notica. He STAGED, in sub
stance, that there is a great deal more
money now in the Treasury than is sufli-
Gent to pay all the bonds Of the govern
ment that become due before 1891. This
money is idle, and the amount is increas-
ing rapidly. There is no disposition TO
cut down the revenues. Why not there
fore appropriate literally for rivers
and harhors as long as 1t is
certain that the money is being economi-
cally expended? Why not open the ave-
nues of commerce, and at the same time
distribute the idle millions in the Treasury
among the people? Tne money expended
under the direction of the army engineers
is not wasted, and is not expended in
wastefu or eXtravagant way.

An Oklahoma Movement.

The little crowd OF spectators and adj
venturers who are trying TO get toothold
in Oklahoma Territory have hit upon a
novel scheme to give Congress the impress
sion that there is very general demand
for the opening of that Territory for set
Element. They have scattered over the
country circulars, asking for the passage
Of dozen or more bills, all Of which are
enumerated, and the most of which have
the support of popular sentiment in the
localities to which they chiefly apply.
The bill providing for the organization of
the Territory of Oklahoma is sandwiched
in among these bills. The idea is that
if there is one bill in the list which any
one who Is asked to sign the circular
favors he Will sign the circular,
not thinking that he is also pettioning for
the passage of bills which he does not
favor.
A very large number of these circulars
have already found their way to Con-
gress, and it is reported that there will be
enough OF them to bury Congress in.
The fraudulent character of the move
ment has already been exposed in the
Ilpuse, anu Iue pIOSpeCG 10 JudI III Will
not be as effective as it's promoters hoped
it would. 1t will probably be several
years before the Oklahoma country will
be opened to white settlers. The Indians
there are pretty well satisfied with thei
present condition, and as they are not de.
creaslng in numbers very rapidly they
will not give up their lands as long as
they are permitted TO enjoy them unmo-
Tested.
There is not as much disposition nova
days in Congress to rely upon petitions
tor indications of public sentiment with
regard to any matter as there once was.
The great mass of petitions which find
their way into the petition boxes OF the
Senate and House very seldom ever
receive more than a passing notice.
Congressman rely upon the newspapers
for information respecting the condition
of public sentiment relative to any pub
lie matter. The Oklahoma adventurers
will ind probably that the money they
spent for blank petitions and circulars
was wasted.

A Bug Ridden Country.

Sir John Lubbock, the distinguished
English financier, statesman and scien-
fist, has made an important discovery.
IT is discovery That no man with fewer
claims to greatness than he has would be
likely to make. and it required all his
varied talents and mplishments-not
to speak OF the laborious researches and
tedious investigations to make il.
Sir John has discovered that the fnan-
cIal and political troubles in Ireland are
not due to foreign landlordism, nor to
British oppression, but that the cause is
strictly chronological, in fact, that they
are traceable directly to the potato bug,
and he is determined that this terrible in
sect shall bear the full weight of respOn-
slbility and opprobrium that it deserves.
tie has advanced the opinion that if the
potato bug can be gotten rid Of, prosperity
Will soon smile on the Emerald Isle and
WOO 1t back to loyalty and contentment.
There can be little doubt that Sir John
is partly right, but ne is very largely
wrong. The English financers, states
men and scientists are peculiarly blind
when it comes to seeing and making pub
English hum-bugs in Ireland. While the
Tayages OF the potato bugs are distressing,
their human prototypes are infinitely
worse, preying as they do not only on the
food of the people, but on their very man
hood and womanhood as well.
SO far as the potato bug pest is con-
cerned, with systematic, persistent efforts
it may be gotten rid of. 1t would not do,
however, to use Paris green or London
purple on the humbugs. Dynamite even
will not be tolerated by the civilized world.
They are to be cOmbated with weapons
parliamentary, and to be arraigned in the
forum of public opinion. This is now be-
ing done, and America is helping sust ain
the contest. If Ireland could only get rid
Of the potato bugs and the humbugs it
would soon be the happiest island in the
world

The President and His Cabinet.

The effort that is being made TO drive
Attorney General Garland out OF the
Cabinet may finally succeed. If he de-
termines TO resign, however, it will not
be because the President wants MIN to.
Tne relations between tnem have ALWAYS
been very cordial. 1t is certain that the
President hasn't lost confidence in MIR.
Garland. When the telephone business
was first thrust upon the attention Of the
public MIR. Garland made statement to
the President which the latter considered
entirely satisfactory. Nothing has oc-
Cured since that time to prejudice the
Presidents mind against him. I'm the
Presidents opinion, Mr.. Garland Is not
only very able man, but is also Il clean
handed and clean-nearted one.
The Attorney General is very sensitive,
and if the newspapers hostile 10 him con.
tinue their attacks ne may give up his
Office rather than remain target for
his enemies.
Tne most that can be said OF MIN in con-
nection with the Pan Electric Company
is that he acted hastily. There is moth
ing that even justfes the suspicion that
he pursued the course that he did from
corrupt motives.
1t IL probable that Mr.. Manning will
never go back to the Treasury Depart
ment. His resignation may be expected
in October. II Mr. Garland should con-
clude to resign he would hardly do so be-
fore the clamor over the Pan Electric
business had, to a great extent, died out.
When Mr.. Cleveland appointed his
Cablpet he expressed the hope that IT
would undergo no changes. That there is
a prospect that there will be at least two
changes will hardly be denied.

The Largest Telescope in the World.


Passengers out of Boston on the Boston and
Albany railroad may have noticed just across
the Charles river. at the first bridge out of the
city and opposite Cottage Farm station. a
handsome residence, and back of 1t a low,
rOund-top observatory, and outside, near it,
long white model of telescope. and in the
same ward two-stOry brick building. The
building is the factory where the great Rus
sian telescope was made, as well as many 9TH
ers also famous, and where work is now going
on for the Lick telescope, which will be the
largest in the world.
OF the two discs of glass, each one ward in
diameter, for the Lick telescope, the flint glass
mas been made long time, but the crown
glass, although ordered We wears ago, was
only received by the Clarks in September
Iast. 1T was made after repeated TRIALS and
failures, at an establishment near Paris, the
only one that could get out such a piece OF
work, Each glass cost $4,000 in the rough,
ana they cannot be finished before fall.
Al first machinery could do a little rough
grinding, but for months the bare hand only
mas been used in applying the polishing sub
stance, which is rough. The glasses have
now reached a Stage where the removal of a
small portion of the surface in the wrong
p ace would ruin them. They are frequently
tested, set In circular iron frame called a
cell No Instruments can be used for the test
put The long experience of the Clarks has
given them judgment which is unerring.
very so n the tests will be made in the
mode Of the telescope outside the building.
rms model Is OF the size of the proposed Lick
telescope, and is fifty seven feet long. These
two lenses are set six inches apart in their
IRON frame, which has openings to allow of
the glasses being properly cleaned on each
SIDE. Lenses anu frame together weigh over
seven hundred pounds.
While every hing now appears to be per-
feet, some slight defect in the glass that has
not yet appeared, or an accident, may render
useless all The labor of months. When COM
pleted the great telescope will be placed IN
the observatory on Mt Hamilton, In santa
Clara county, Cal. MIR. james Lic6 left $780,

An astronomer has stated that this teles-
cope will bring the moon, 100000 miles dis
tant, within, apparently, a hundred miles of
the beholder. 1t will cost sec, Oo0, and will be
covered by steel dome 20 feet in diameter,
weighing IS tons. Besides the observatory
are many other buildings, containing all the
valuable instruments necessary for a COM
plete estab ishment to carry out Mr.. Lexis
intentions. The citizens of Santa Clara coun-
ty have built a road 10 the summit of the
mountain al a cost of SIS, 00c.

The Richmond Soldiers Home has over
100 inmates, representing nine Southern
States, two of the beneticiaries being
from Georgia. GOV. Fitzhugh Lee, Pres
ident of the board of visitors, and the
committee OF Lee Camp Confederate Vet
Grams, which founded tue worthy ms titu-
ton, appeal to the people of the South for
aid to build a chapel at the home. They
say they have thirty-siX acres of land,
beautifully located within one mile of the
corporate limits of Richmond, with seven
buildings for the accommodation of the
inmates, two Of them quite large, and five
beautiful cottages, donated by gentlemen
of the North and of Richmond. 1t has
been the custom OF ministers of the various
churches OF Richmond TO hold Sunday
evening services in the mess hall, and
there has been manifested such interest
in this matter that the hall mas been in
adequate TO accommodate the large
crowds. 1t is desirable to erect chapel
on the grounds. The citizens OF Rich
mond have already contributed many
thousands OF dollars towards the erection
ana support of the home, and an appeal
is now made TO the friends Of the Confed-
crate soldiers in the South to help in an
endeayor to build the proposed chapel.
The amount needed is $500. Any sum
sent to Maj. Lewis Ginter, care Messrs.

knowledged. 1t is unnecess AIRY to recount

paign, and has witnessed the ii ght from
point OF vantage. 1t says: 1--WE have
noted for several weeks past with some
surprise tina. Gen. Gordon, candidate for
Governor OF Georgia, has been making in
roads upon Mai. Bacon 10 his stronghold.
This is all the more surprising because
we have had reason to believe that Mai.
Bacon was especially strong in North
Georgia, whore recently Gen. Gordon has
developed unusual strength. The only
explainable cause OF this sudden deiec-
ton from the Bacon ranks is 70 be found
in the fact that Dr.. FELTON,. the loud.
mouthed blatherskite, has been making
speeches Tor him in that section. Tbs
was sufficient to have killed Mr.. Bacon's
candidacy earlier than it did. II Mai.
Bacon could have muzzled this public
torment be might have stood some chance
for the nomination" The Chattanooga
Times seems TO be OF the opinion that DR..
FELTON, turned out TO be the Rev. Burchard
OF the Georgia campaign.
