The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-07-23

Senator Chandler will not get much salts
faction out Of the investigation of the
Louisiana election. Before he gets through
with it he will wish that he had not intro
duced into the senate his investigating
resolution. He has placed too much conf
dence in the statements of Warmoth, Kel-
logg and other Louisiana republicans, who
are notorious for getting a long way from
the facts when talking of Louisiana
politics.
Lately, Warmoth, speaking about the
Louisiana election, said to a New York re-
porter: I'VE polled about 5000 whites in
city of New Orleaus alone, and l think
about 25, 600 votes in the state that were
counted for us. In the last election the re-
publicans united with the independents in
New Orleans and the combination ticket
was elected by a majority of $500. We
beat the democratic party horse, foot and
dragons in the city, having secured fair
count by reason of this combination
According to this statement Warmoth,
who was the republican candidate for gov
ernor, ought to have received a larger vote
in New Orleans than Gov Nichols, the
democratic candidate. As matter of fact
Warmoth's vote was only II. 142, while Gov.
Nichols was 27,S24-a majority of over
10000. That does not look as if the demo
Gratis were beaten in New Orleans, and yet
Warmoth says the election and the count
were fair. In 1876 Gov. Nichols, who was
the democratic candidate for governor, re-
ceived in New Orleans only 25,097 votes,
while Mr.. Packard, the republican candi-
date, received 5000. The republicans
had control of the election ma
chinery that year. If, as Warmoth
admits, the election of 1883 was absolutely
fair, is not the conclusion irresistible that
there has been a remarkable falling off in
the republican vote in New Orleans! And
if in New Orleans, why not in the whole
statei The republican party outside of
New Orleans is badly demoralized. In
many parishes it has no organization what
ever. A very large percentage of the
negroes pays no attention TO politics what
ever, and of those who do fair proportion
votes the democratic ticket Senator
Chandler will have an interesting time get
ting campaign material out of the Louisi-
ana election.

TAKING THE CENSUS.
Difficulties Encountered by officers
Engaged in the Work.
From the Washington star.

From the Washington star.
The police census takers are now actively en-
gagged in visiting the houses throughout the dis
trict. The warm weather makes the work
rather slow, and more time will be taken up in
collecting the figures than was at first calcu-
lated. Tho officers engaged in the work have
some STRANGE experiences, and meet with many
queer people. Frequently explanations are
called Tor. and the officers find 1t necessary To
do considerable talking before they are able 10
get the required information, Some women
they ma are superstitiOuS, and VIII hesitate
some time before they will say anything about
their families Then, too, the officers find some
aged cOlOret persons who object to giving q
hrIei history Of their family because they sus
pect that the purpose for which the informa-
ton IS wanted IL not good one.
At one residence the door bell was answered
by a colored girl, who asked: Who is your
II am an officer, miss and came to take the
census"
Come TO take the census-what's thatS"
is the lady of the house in?'
Il reckon she is in. What you want TO know
thet for?'
We'll, would like to see her, if you have no
objections"
Il hasn't any"
The servant left the front door and In a min
ute she returned and explained TO the officer
that the lady was busy and could not be seen.
well, miss, probably you can answer me
some questions?''
I'm ask the lady"
return asks: What are the que3tions?"
How many persons live in this house?
He wants to know how many people is ip
this house, " she screamed.
what does he want to know that for?' called
back the lady of the house.
lie says he's taking the census
what for?n
''The lady wants to know what you are taking
the census for" said the colored girl address,
ing the officer
Explanations weEe then necessary, and the
coored woman was finally persuaded to give
the desired information.
Have there been any births in your family
since last .Iunefn asked one Of them Of an old
lady living in the eastern section of the city.
did you come here to discuss my family
matters?' asked the old lady.
Nearly half hour was wasted in explaining
the object of asking the question, and then the
old lady smiled as she said: Yes. we had one, -
She had seven older children.
Another women told the census taier she had
eight children; that her husband was dead and
she would like the officer to use his influence to
secure her a position. She told him of her
family troubles and gave him a detailed history
of her family before she gave him the nforma-
ton he was sent for.

When Broughton street was paved the

standing. we're cut down, The mistake
that was then made should be RENE
died, AS far as possible, during the next
tree-planting season Tres should be
planted on both sides Of the street, They
will improve its appearance and make 1t
cooler in the summer.
There is plenty OF room for trees. The
sidf walks are wide, and tree, on Broughton,
as well as other streets, should be within
the curb. The street and lane committee
could not invest few thousand dollars to
better advantage than 10y planting trees in
different parts of the city where they are
most needed. 1t is not necessary that the
trees should be placed within ten or twelve
feet Of each other. One 10 every half lot
thirty feet would be near enough.
There are many places in the city which
are greatly in need Of trees. Some of these
places were once well shaded, but the trees
died and were removed; others have never
been adorned with trees
The success which attends trees carefully
selected, properly planted and well cared
for, can be seen on the Pendegrast tract,
on Anderson and adjacent streets. Several
hundred maple trees were set out on the
tract last spring, and nearly all Of them
are growing finely and have a thrifty APP
pearance.
There are several skillful tree-planters in
the city, and their services for month or
two next spring ought to be secured. In
deed the city could not spend a small sum
of money in any wiser way, or one in
which a better return might be reasonably
expected than in getting the benefit of their
skill aud knowledge
Washington is the best shaded city in the
world. 1t has 240 miles of shade trees, or
TO miles of shaded streets. The care of
them and the additions to them cost less
than 100000 year. Ghe comfort they af-
ford the inhabitants, and the benefit they
are to the public health, are worth many
times that amount. Tree planting in Wash
ington is carried on systematically and in
diligently. The question of the kinds of
trees that are best suited to the soil and
climate is carefully studied, and only those
are planted which promise the best results.
The same system should be adopted in this
city.

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, has a new
style of postal card which he wants adopted.
He has already introduced into the senate
a resolution with regard to it. The card is
the invention of an employee in one of the
departments. 1t is double card, the back
of which is split diagonally, SO that it opens
out like four pointed star Those points
are held together III the center by n bit Of
gummcd paper. The improvement claimed
is in the protection afforded tho writer,
with the addition of very little weight The
idea of the inventor is to have these new
cards, which weigh less than half an ounce,
carried for cent each.

No Henchman Appeared.
From the Neto York Times.

Had Gen. Francis b. Spinola been younger
man than he is there might have been trouble
in the house of representatives to-day. AT last
nights sitting Gen. Spinoa tried to pass the
bill for the erection Of a monument to the
prison ships, whose bones are lying at Fort
Green, Brooklyn. Mr. Klgore of Texas de
feated Gen. Spinoa hopes by raising the peint
that no quorum was present. To-day the
house took up the bill to distribute $4,000
among state homes for disabled soldiers Mr..
kilgore opposed the measure. and tried to have
the amount cut down to 100000. While max
ing an earnest speech in support of his amend
ment the Texas member remarked that it was
the duty of the states to care for their own
paupers. Gen. Spinola was still sore over
his defeat of last night. and watching for a
chance to hit back at Mr.. Kilgore he found it in
the latter remarks about paupers The doughty
general declared that the Texan had branded
az paupers the brave men who had fought for
their cOuntry's flag, and in ugly tones, he ex-
claimed that he hurled the assertion down the
dirty throat of the man who made it. This was
rather plain talk. and as Mr., Kilgore jumped up
to reply some of the timid members became too
nervous for comfort Mr.. Kilgore calmly re
marked that Gen. Spinola was too old for him
to characterize him as he deserved, but" said
the Texan, "if the gentleman from New York
has any henchman to do his bidding, who will
repeat his language to me, / will denounce him
as a liar on the floor of this house" As no
henchman of the general took up the challenge
Mr.. Kilgore let the matter drop. Later on Gen
Spinoa withdrew his offensive words and then
the bill was passed.

piled it to n number of materials to demonstrate
Its varied and great usefulness, among them to
a piece of black silk. A friend introduced him
to q leading silk importer, who sent for his
chief expert TO examine the piece of material
treated. After very careful examination the
expert said:

To see such thing introduced. We want silk
