be little, if any, decrease next year. Pro-

THE HOS CARGO.
The Customs officials in Doubt About
the Rice Question.

The Customs Officials in Doubt About
the Rice Question.
The Norwegian bark Hos, with rice from
Batavia, is moored at Paulsen's wharf, be-
tween Bull and Drayton streets, waiting to
discharge her cargo.
The vessel and cargo were entered at the
custom house yesterday The entry on the
manifest was for uncleaned rice. The cargo
has not yet been examined, however, and
passed upon by the customs officials, and it
is Understood that Collector Wheaton has
telegraphed the Treasury Department for
information and instructions in regard to it,
The tariff laws say that rice that is COW
cred with a ilour-like substance and with
the husks Off, is admissible as uncleaned
rice, subject TO duty of nc. per pound
"Poddy,n or rice in the husk, is subject only
TO a duty of l &C. per pound, while cleaned
rice demands free duty of 24c., and an
additional 10 per cent. ad valOrem is levied
In connection with these importations Of
foreign rice the New York Times has this
to say of the movement: IAN enterprise
which may turn out TO have an important
bearing upon the rice trade of this country
has Just been started by Gustave A. jain &
Co, of 81 Wall street, this city, and of New
Orleans. 1t has been the custom to make
up the deficiency in the United States sup

Europe, on which there is duty of PIC.
pound This year the rice crop OF this
country is 200, 900 barrels short. Messrs.
jain & Co., instead Of following the old Gus
tom, resolved to import undressed rice direct
from Java and mill it here. The duty on
undressed rice is only &C. pound, and the
difference between that and the higher duty
on dressed rice Is sufficient to pay the ex-
pense of milling in this country The profit
is obtained fom the lower price Of rice in
Java compared with the price in Europe
The bark Los has just arrived at Savannah,
with 1900 bags Of undressed rice imported
directly from Batavia by the MesSrs jain,
the first cargo ever brought thence 10 this
country. Three more cagoes are on their
way. The rice landed at Savannah be-

HOW TO SETTLE IT.

A Plan by which Savannah Can Have
New Hotel and the Government
Building Without Further Delay.
Editor Morning Ne,CS: The time has
arrived when the people of Savannah have
it in their power to accomplish the two pur-
poses which have created so much discussion
and considerable dissension, namely, the
erection of a grand hotel
and new public building.
1t has been authoritatively stated that the
government will surrender its option on the
barracks lots provided another site can be
obtained for the public building. it is also
stated publicly and positively that the Su-
pervising Architect will not accept the
court house site or any other trust lot, for
the reason that such lots are not of
sufficient width and the government is not
willing to wait until the Legislature meets
and passes an act to give the city the right
to set apart portion of an adjacent street
so as to give the necessary width 1t is
also certain that the Hops property cannot
be obtained at the maximum limit fixed by
the government as the price to be paid for
a site These premises being correct, it fol-
lows that the choice is limited to two sites,
and it is waste of valuable time to consider
any others, Why, then, not concentrate on
those two possible sites and offer them to
the government and settle the question
without further delay? One or the other
would be selected and either would be salts
factory to the people at large. What SaVan-
nah wants is the new hotel and the new
Federal court house and post-office building
She can have both within the year if her
people will make "a long pull, a steady pull
and pull altogether" OGLETHORPE.

THE LAWYER IN VERSE.

Lines Scrubbed by a Witness While
Waiting to Go on the Stand.
Lawyers have always been more or les
the victims OF wits and jokers, and thu
great and peculiar profession has beef
picked to pieces IN all sorts OF verse ant
prose. The following verses were recently
scrubbed in the Superior Court room by {
witty and well known physician, who wa
detained there by a subpoena, with the Gus
tomary penalties attached, while numerou;
patients were impatiently waiting for hi:
appearance at their bedsides. His righteou!
Indignation found vent in the caustic effu
sion given below:
From west to east, from east to west,
The lawyers life is still the best,
In Justices courts he takes his rise
Ignoring cakes and sweets and pies,
He feeds the witness bitter pills
To soOthe or heal his clients ills.
That black is white and white is black
Is proved when counsel takes q tack,
The wind blows hot, the wind blows cold
To suit the tastes of lawyers bold;
Our wrongs are sure to excite our fury
AS counsel states them to the jury.
The lawyers neck is stiff with pride,
His eye is keen, and long his stride,
The case is lost, but not his fee,
His client hung-that is to be;
No matter how the case may turn,
The legal points he'd still discern.
The suit we take to courts above
Where spotless Justice, like dove,
Sits there enthrOned to hear the case,
Which shows the right upon it's face;
The case goes up, our hearts are sad
The lawyers good, the case is bad.
