insane opposition to Socialism, they will
not acknowledge it. and are consequently
leftin the awkward posi- ion Of confessed
intellectual imbeciles.
In proof of the assertion that these
parties refuse to admit truths because
they are Socialistic, ] quote from them.
Danforth says: sThe aggregation Of
wealth in few hands, coupled with dis
content among the masses, s,re incom-
patible with republican institutions, and
safety lies in some middle ground be-
tween an aristocracy Of wealth on one
hand and Socialism on the other"
If the aggregation of wealth in few
hands (which is at the bottom ofthe dis
content of the masses) is the evil, and
"co-operation on small acale is not
likely to succeed" then, in the name OF
common sense, where is the middle
ground2 Mr.. Danforth does not show
why it is necessary to stop short Of So
cialism this is probably another one Of
the why's which the raw, recruit in the
army of political economists cannot e:,.
plain, !
But the Republican Genes to his rescue
and settles the matter III the following
words: "But it is right at this point that
the Socialist steps In and suggests that
the government oughtto take in hand
all great manufacturing industries, for
the very purpose of mailing this equita-
j Bile distribution of the profits. But OIL e
objection, and very serions one, to this
is, that such condition of things would
stifle individual effort. Although for a
while it might work well, it would event.
uaIlY be found that it would reduce men
to mere machines, just ss the soldiers in
q regular army are. To any such con-
Germ there would have to be chief Off
GERS, and they would soon be able to so
entrench themselves in power that it,
would be impossible to dislodge them
without revolution"
- The apoint" at which ''this Socialist
steps in" is where the Republican ad-
mits that it is stuck. IF the editor of
the Republican will carry the reasoning
to its natural finish, the Socialist will
leave him alone, and not step on him.
And now, once more to answer the silly
opponent of governmental control. He
fears 1t would "stife individual effort"
Has government control of the postofice,
the signal service, coast survey, and
other departments of om economy
esstified individual effort? T[as munici-'
pal control of the fire and police depart
ments smothered the individuals ? The
Republican can find the answers to these
questions in its own columns every day.
The Illustration of the regular army,
if true, is not appropriate, because the
soldiers are a lot of loafsrs; they have
nothing to do, and, as 9 rule. are mem
who wouldn't do it if they had. Why
did not the Republican refer 20 the busy,
fighting soldiers of the late war, and as
sure Us that there was no ambition in
their ranks to rise through bravery and
honest work? And why will editors
make such fools Of themselves2 Simply
because the public encourage them ; and,

An Indication of Savannah's Pros
perity.

perlty.
During the extreme cold weather which
prevailed throughout the South a couple
Ofweeks ago the suffering among the poor
people in Atlanta, Augusta, Charleston
and some other Southern cities was so
general and so great that 1t became ne
cessary to make extraordinary exertions
tor their relief. In the cities mentioned
food and fuel were extensively distrib-
uted. The chartably-disposed people,
who were able to do so, responded prompt
ly and literally to the demands upon
them, and it is probable that few, If any,
of those in need of help failed to receive it.
We call attention to this matter at the
present time for the purpose OF pointing
out the fact that, although the cold in
this city was severe and long continued,
there was no public announcements OF des-
titution or suffering. There were doubt
less two reasons for this. One was that
there is in this city a large number of
well organized private charities, and the
other is that there are. at any season OF
the year here, comparatively few people
who are unable to obtain employment.
All who want to work can find. as a rule,
something to do al iair compensation.
While the severe weather lasted there
were two or three cases of restitution
brought to the attention OF the authorities.
Investigation showed that the persons
needing aid were recent arrivals. They
had not been in the city long enough TO
make a thorough search for employment
There is no doubt that many received
help from private charities, and their
wants, therefore, never became known to
the public.
Savannah is a charitable city aud looks
carefully after her poor when there is oc-
easion for dong 50. IL is source of sat-
isfactiOn that the occasion doesn't arise
often, and that it doesn't is pretty good
evidence that the city is in a prosperous
condition. 1t is surprise u visitors that
there are neither stores nor residences for
rent ana that rents are SO high.

South Atlantic River and Harbor
interests.

interests
The committee appointed by the Savan-
nah Harbor Convention to urge upon the
attention Of Congress the Importance OF
making liberal appropriations for the
South Atlantic harbors has begun its
WORK, and will prosecute itdoubtless with
energy and ability. 1t is evident from
Its experience at Washington last week.
that If the South Atlantic harDors get
anywhere near the amount of appropri-
atoms which is necessary to prosecute
vigorously the work of improving them,
il will be because OF the earnest and in
telligent and continued presentation Of
the claims of these harbors to the proper
committees Of Congress.
The Western people are ready and will
ing to Join with the South Atlantic peo-
pie in an effort to get liberal appropria-
tions Tor rivers and harbors, but 1t must
not be forgotten that the Western people
are going to take care of their own rivers
first, and that they are interested in as
slsting the South Atlantic people only
IN so far as it may be necessary
to get what they Themselves
want. They will have their work
ers at Washington all the time. and they
Will not cease to besiege the River and
! Harbor Committee as long as there is a
chance Of getting such appropriations as
they desire. II there is a lack Of diligence,
earnestness or skill on the part of those
who represent our interests, 1t will be
found, when the river and barber bill is
/ reported, that the South Atlantic harbors
and rivers have been sacrificed to adj
vance the interests of the public works
of the West. The committee chosen by
the Savannah Harbor Convention appears
to realize fully the responsibility which
rests upon it. 1t has begun well, and if
1t continues as it has begun, there Will
not, probably, be any reason to md fault
witnit.
1t is TO be regretted that the resolution
which Representative Norwood offered in
the House a day or two ago, authorizing
a survey on which to base estimates OF
the cost Of securing deeper water between
this port and the sea than the present
improvements aim to secure, was not in
troduced at an earlier day. 1t is very
important that this survey should be
made before the River and Harbor Com
mittee reports its bill. We want deeper
water than the present works, when COM
plettd, will give us, and we want it as
soon as we can get it. If the River and
HarbOr Committee has the estimates for
deeper water before it completes its bill
it will be in a position to authorize, and
make an appropriation for, improvements
that will give US at least 26 feet of water.
1t is TO be hoped that Representative Nor
wood will push the resolution through
Congress as rapidly as possible.

A Victory for the Pilots.


The Georgia pilots have occasion to re-
joice. They were beaten in the Legisla-
ture but have triumphed in the courts.
/ The Supreme Court OF the State has
interpreted the law relating to pilot
age as they have always interpreted it,
and as everybody else interpreted it until
year or two ago, when a few owners of
vessels assumed that the Supreme Court
had given it a different Interpretation.
In the case Of Wright against Lake,
taken to the supreme Court from the SUI
perior Court OF Glynn, on a writ OF error,
a decision was rendered Tuesday which
gives the pilots Just what they contended
for at the last session Of the Legislature.
The facts in the case are these: Wright,
pilot, offered his services to vessel out
side the bar at Brunswick and his offer
was declined. He presented his bill to
Lake, the master of the vessel, for inward
pilotage, which was paid. When the YES
sci got ready to 60 out he offered his ser
vices, he being the pilot who spoke her
outside when she came in. His offer was
again refused. and the master declined to
pay his bill for outward pilOtage. He
brought suit for outward pilotage. The
decision was against him, and ne carried
the case to the supreme Court.
The decision of the supreme Court in
substance is, that pilot offering his SER
vices outside the bar is entitled to inward
pilotage whether his services are accepted
or not, and If he offers to pilot the vessel
out he is entitled to outward pilotage,
h, ,e
There can be no misunderstanding of
the decision. Ii is not ambiguous in any
respect. 1t shows vessel owners who
have refused to pay outward pilotage
when their vessels did not accept the SER
vices of pilot when inward bound that
they have made a very grave mistake. 1t
also makes clear that the celebrated case Of
Messner against Stein, on which vessel
owners have relied to relieve them of out
ward pilotage, has no bearing upon this
question of outward pilotage in cases
where vessels inward bound decline the
services Of pilot.
This decision of Wright against Lake
sweeps away the differences of opinion
that have existed between vessel owners
and pilots in this State respecting out
ward pilotage since the decision in the
case Of Messner against Stein. 1t is
better for the pilots than the amendments
to the pIlotage law would have been
which they tried to get the Legislature to
adopt last summer, because it establishes
the fact that the Interpretation which
they have put upon the law frem time
immemorial is the correct Interpretation,
and that there is no occasion for amend
ments.
viii the pilots from whom outward
pilotage has been withheld now begin to
look after these unpaid outward fees?
This decision sustans the position which
the MORNING NEWS took relative to the
law when the pilots bill was before the
! Legislature last summer.
