Branch College Appropriations.

The Senate made quite a strong fight
against the appropriation for the branch
colleges If it had held out a little longer
it might have defeated them probably, be-
cause there does not appear to be a strong
approval of them in the House. The next
legislature will reach the conclusion, doubt
less, that the branch colleges ought to take
care of themselves.
The MORNING NEWS is not hostile to the
branch colleges, but it does not think that
the state ought to assist in supporting them
while the public schools are in need OF the
money that is given to them. They ought
TO be self-supporting. The duty of the
state is to improve her public
school system. There are thousands
of children in tie state growing up in ig-
norsuce for the want of good public schools
Those who attend the branch colleges ought
to be able to pay for the education which
they get there. The state assists the state
university and the chronological school, and
she ought not to do anything more for
special and higher education until she has
provided for first-class system of public

Importance Of the City Election.

Every citizen of Savannah is interested
in having the city government in the hands
OF able men, who are thoroughly devoted
to the city's interest. 1t is specially i'm
portant that the next administration should
be strong one. 1t will have many i'm
portant questions to SETTLE A house drain
age system must be provided, the water
supply must be increased, new streets
must be opened, and streets must be
wisely will require intelligence, jndg nent
and businesslike qualities.
What are the people doing toward select
ing good mayor and good aldermen! Ap-
parently nothing. The great majority of
them do not seem to care whether good
men are chosen to manage the cty's affairs
or not. They will regret their Indifference
if incompetent men should get control of
the city Heavier taxes with nothing to
show for them would be forcible reminder
of duty neglected.
The men who have most at stake should
begin to be active in molding public senti-
ment in favor of men to whom the city's
interests can be entrusted without misgiv-
ings. If they don't care to take an active
part in the municipal contest, they can at
least make their influence felt. Their aim
should be to have the best men tn It can be

A good deal of quiet work in the interest Of
good government should be done between

Scared on the Elevated.


from Ue NetC Olk sun.
1t is we'll known that there are many timid
ladies in New York who have never yet ridden
on the elevated roads. They are somewhat like
the elderly maiden who fears to look under the
bed because q pair Of boots might be discovered
there. But a colored man from way down in
Dixie capped the climax for all timid ones on
the elevated roads on Friday last. 1t was his
first visit to town. He was a big, strapping
fellow, and with some friends got aboard
down train at Eighth street, on the Sixth
avenue line. AS the train sheered off to the
right preparatory to making the turn at Third
street the Negroes eyes began to bulge. and as
the train swung around the curve and was APP
parently rushing into the buildings on the left
he dashed forward. swung open the door, and
roared in Mortified tones to the guard: Fore
Gawd, massa, let me out of here" His friends
in the back OF the car were roaring at the fright
ened one to come back and laughing at him
with the most explosive heartness. But the
newcomer was thoroughly frightened and stood
on the platform gesticuiating at the amused
gateman. He went through the same antics as
he train turned the curve into the Blocker
street station In fact, his fright increased
with every moment and when the gates were
thrown open at the station he flung himself
through them ard ran wildly down the stair
way. His friends had opened the windows and
were sending a chorus of jeers after him.

Not so Designing as lie Seemed to be


Edward Welt zell. one of Detroits Industrious
young dramatists, tells this story on himself:
Last March, while in Chicago, Twas introduced
to an actor who was stopping at the same hotel.
After pleasant chat with him, during which
found him both well informed and affable, he
suggested that we go to restaurant and have
dinner. ] agreed. and we started out. On our
way there he invited me into one of the 'diZzieS
as they are called by the actors, to have some
thing There were several seedy-looking fakirs
in the place, who all seemed to know my new
friend, and he gave them an invitation to join
U.s. They readily responded, and after we had
given our order, the host turned 10 me and re-
marked IN an undertone, but sothe crowd could

amused me and | determined to see how far he
would try to carry matters. We entered the
restaurant and he gave his order like a prince.
We sat at the table nearly an hour and my

talked on everything except that borrowed

The Evolution of the Lords Prayer
From the AcIdelnu


Few scholars even are aware of the great
change through which the English language
has passed in successive centuries. Following
are specimens Of the Lords Prayer, as used at
various periods in English history:

A Sorry Mail Service.

What an extraordinary middle the rail-
way mail service in this section of the south
is in, and it isn't new thing for it to tie in
muddle. For several years the MORNING
NEWS has been trying to have it improved,
but with very poor success. The people
cry out against it. They plead for better
service, but their voices are apparently I'M
heard, or at least they do not succeed in
getting the service improved. The same
Irregularities and delays continue. There
appears to be no determined effort any
where to make the service what it ought to
be and what the people are entitled to.
Gen. Harrison, in one of his talks the
other day, said that one of the first things
to which he should give his attention, after
his Inauguration, was the mail service. If
he will give this section Of the south regu-
lar and efficient mail service he will make
friends for his administration. In fact, in
no other way can he so quickly overcome
the disappointment that followed demo-
cratic defeat.
But who is to blame for the wretched
mail service? That is one of the things that
seems to be beyond finding out The MORN
ING NEWS presents some correspondence on
the subject in another column. 1t is cor
respondence that is we'll worth reading.
The railroad authorities say they are not to
blame for the mail failures. The mail serv-
ice officials say that the fault is with the
railroad and not with them. But some-
body must be to blame 1t is not denied
that the people do not get their mails at the
time they should. The reason they don't is
the fault of somebody.
Let the superintendent of the mail service
find out where the fault is, and place the re-
sponsibility where it belongs. If the en-
ployes of the mail service are incompetent
or negligent, let them be removed. If the
railroads do not comply with their con-
tracts, let them be called to &C
count. What encouragement is there
to build up a business which largely
depends upona good mail service,
whea that service is so managed as to
destroy itl
There seems to be a total lack of har-
mony between the railroad officials and the
officials of the mail service. What is the
cause Of this condition of affairsl Cannot
the superintendent of the mail service give
tue people such a service that they
will not always be complaining of delayed
and irregular mails. Determination and
energy, intelligently directed, would do a
great deal toward removing the grounds of
The peoples complaint of bad mails

Before the direct tax bill passed the
House, an amendment was adopted TO refund
a certain amount to citizens of Beaufort
Is. C. When the tax act was in operation,
the town Of Beaufort and the surrounding
country were sold for $4,000 to raise tho
tax Of sii, 900. The property was valued at
about g., 100000. The government bought
Il in, and sold parts Of 1t at different times,
tho last sales having netted a profit Of 800
600. Without the amendment, Beaufort
would get only $1,000. but the amend
snents intended to compensate the original
owners OF the property for their losses, and
it seems probable that $3.50, 900 will be paid
them, the outlook bang that the Senate
VIII concur in the amendment.

MiZpah.

We never used the word while thou and
Walked close together in life's working way;
There was no need for it, when hand and eye
Might meet, content and faithful, every day /;
But now, WITH anguish from a stricken heart.
Mzpah ! cry; the Lord keep watch between
Thy life and mine, that death hath riven apart:
Thy life beyond the awful veil. unseen;
And my poor broken being, which must glide
Through ways familiar to us both till death
Shall of surety lead me to thy side,
Beyond the chance and change of mortal
breath.
Mizpah! yea, love in all my bitter pain,
TRUST God keepeth watch betwixt US twain
The lips are dumb from which used 10 hear
Strong words of council, tender words Of
praise;
Poor must go without the cheer
And sunshine of thy presence all my days.
But God keeps watch my ways and days upon,
On all do, on all | bear for thee.
My work is left me though my friend is gone;
A solemn trust hath love bequeathed to me.
take the task thy languid hand laid down
That summer evening" for mine own Away;
And may the Oliver of both cross and crown
Pronounce me faithful at our meeting day,
Mizpah! the word gives comfort to my pain !;
know God keepeth watch betwix| us twain !

Our dispatches yesterday contained what
appeared to be authentic information about
Stanley The information was credited in
England and elsewhere, and there was con-
siderable rejoicing. He had reached Emin
Bey, il was stated, and was back ON the
Aruwhimi with him.
Our dispatches this morning, while they
do not deny the Information that Stanley
has been heard from and is safe, question
It's correctness. They leave the impression
that it Is about as likely to be untrue as
true.
If Stanley is alive and on his way back
to civilization, it will not be long before he
will be heard from. 1t was August, 1887,
that the last authentic information was re-
ceived from him. He was then on the
table lands which shape the basin of the
Aruwhimi, a tributary of the Congo,
and his purpose was TO relieve Emin
Bey who was at Wadelai near the sources Of
the Nile He struck into the mountainous
regions Of the Aruwhimi, and no word has
since been received Of him. unless the dis
patch published yesterday is true.

ingalls, Not a Poor Man.

TTUHt UNe NeU FOTk OLuF.
S. B. GlaZier. one of the leading bankers OF
Atchison, Kan, read in one of the newspapers
yesterday at the Fifth Avenue hotel that Sena-
tor ingalls, was very poor, condition which
necesstated his daughter becoming a news
paper writer.
Senator Ingalls, is fellow townsman of
mine" said Mr.. Glazier, land l know that he is
by no means poor man. He has 100000
worth of real estate in Atchison. which brings
him in very handsome returns This, with his
salary as Senator, and the fees he receives for
legal advice, must bring him in more than he
spends, for he lives plainly and his family is
not given to extravagances."
Mr. Glazier also said that just before leaving
home for Washington the senator remarked to
friend that he had personal reasons to rejoice
over republican success, for il the democrats
had continued in power for four years more he
would not have considered his life safe in Wash
ington.

The impression seems to prevail that the
colored leaders of the recent riot in Missis-
sippi have been captured and put to death.
There is no particular reason for this inn
preston, except that the parties have not
been seen in public for several days II is
entirely within the range Of possibility that
they are alive and well A well-known
characteristic Of the negro is his knowledge
not only of the highways, but Of the by
ways, in all the surrounding country, and
IL there is place Of refuge for him to seek
in time OF trouble, he is generally familiar
with the fact, and loses no time in taking

It was very common thing during the
recent campaign for the mugwump journals
to assail Gov. Hill. One reason of their
opposition was that he was generally I'M
derstood to be opposed TO civil service re-
form, and yet his official record does not
show that he was In fact, it seems TO fur
nish indisputable evidence that he was not.
He entered into the fifth year Of his term as
governor the other day, with about forty
five responsible and well paid offices under
his control, and Of the appointments to
these offices only seventeen had been made
by him. A good many Of Gov. Cleveland's
appointees were in Office, and a sprinkling
of republican hold-overs were still on duty.
The charge that Gov. Hill is not civil
service reformer will probably have TO be
abandoned.
