Appropriations for Two Ports.

Have the business men of Savannah no
ticed that the appropriation for Charleston
harbor is about four times as large as that
for Savannah If they have not they
ought to- Charleston asked for $3.50, 900
and got 1850, 600. Savannah asked for
$7s0,000 and got $1,000 Charleston got
nearly half of what her estimates called for
and Savannah got not quite one-eghth. Is
not this discrimination so unjust as to call
for protest of the most vigorous kind.
There is no complaint that Charleston
got too much Every friend of that city is
gratified that she was dealt with so liber
ally. But there is complaint Of the injus-
tice done to Savannah. If her commerce,
by far the largest on the South Atlantic
coast, were not suffering for deeper water
in her harbor she would submit to
this injustice in silence. but her commerce
is the source of her prosperity, and she can
not afford TO have it INSTRUCTED. In this
age of deep-draft vessels the want of sufii-
Gent depth of water in any port to accom-
modate them means higher freight and in
surance rates at that port.
If the commerce which legitimately be-
ed here as cheaply as it can at other ports
which it can reach it will go to those ports.
It is apparent, therefore, how important it
is to Savannah that the Improvement for a
2S-foot channel in her harbor shall be begun
at once
1t may be urged that the estimates upon
which the Charleston appropriation is based
were for an Improvement already begun,
while the bulk of the estimates for Savan-
nah harbor was for an improvement that
has not yet been recognized by Congress
The River and Harbor Committee
cannot shelter itself from the Indignation
of Savannah behind an excuse of that kind.
The deeper water improvement in Mobile
harbor has not been recognized by Congress,
and no estimates were submitted for it, but
the committee found no difficulty in making
an appropriation for it,
The truth is that the discrimination
ag ainst Savannah is inexplicable and mex
cusable. If the River and Harbor Commit
tee is disposed to do what is right it will
permit the appropriation for Savannah
harbor to be increased to 5000, 900 when the
bill is considered in the House.

The Vacant Chief Jrsticeship.

1t is expected that Chief Justice will
soon be appointed. There are strong rea-
sons against delay. One is tnat the bust
ness of the Supreme Court is so great that
all the Judges are needed. Another is that
some important cases are soon to be heard,
and it is necessary to avoid the possibility
of an evenly divided court. Still another
is that the longer action is deferred the
more difficult it will be to make selection
The list of names already proposed for the
position is quite large, and it is growing.
From it the names of Southern men NAV
as well be eliminated. Mr.. Cleveland will
hardly come to the South for the Chief JUS
tice, after having lately made Mr. Lamar
an Associate Justice. Ex-senator Thurman,
of Ohio, is too old. Judge Cooley, of the In
terstate Railroad Commission, possesses the
necessary qualifications, but, in addition to
being too old, is a Republican, though it is
said he voted for Mr. Cleveland. Justice
Field may be promoted, but it is not
thought that he will. The chances are the
President will give the country a surprise
Another interesting question is will the
appointment, when made, be confirmed by
the Senates The indications are that the
Republican Senators will seek to defeat or
to postpone action upon any appointment
of a Democrat that may be made. There
have been very plain limitations to that
effect. For instance, the New York Tribune
says: ut is limited that it would be need
less for the President to hurry action, as
the Senate would check any haste, and
would, in any event, decline to confirm any
appointee until the issue of next November
was decided. That an outgoing President,
representing party likely to be dismissed
from power, should name the most inn
portant judicial head of the government
seems to be an improperly which the Sen
ate will be likely to resent"

A Coin Saved His Life.
From the Ne,o York Tribune.

Among the stories told about Congressman
Allen, of Mississippi, by his colleagues, is the
following:
Allen was a private in the Confederate army,
and as he was born in lS47. he was, of course a
very young soldier when he went away to the
wars" and an old uncle of his gave him coin
which he carried for years as pocket piece.
The uncle said:
John, believe this coin carries good luck
with it. Keep it about you all the time, and it
may even be the means some day OF saving
your life"
Allen put the coin away carefully in an inside
pocket, and took his leave amid the prayers of
his weeping relatives, When he returned, his
people gathered to greet the hero, and among
them was the old uncle,
Uncle. " said John, you remember the coin
YOU gave me! Well, that coin saved my life at
Perryve"
Did it, John? did it, indeed" exclaimed the
old man II thank heaven for prompting me
to give it to you. Tell us all about it, John"

savannah,s Railroad Prospects.

Savannah Is not without prospects for adj
ditional railroad facilities in the near flu
ture The MORNING NEWS called attention
few days ago to several projected rail
roads which were looking towards Savan-
nah as their seaboard outlet
The Central railroad, it is understood, is
to build short line from Eden, a point
twenty miles from this city, to Fort Valley.
IT is expected that the contract for building
it will be made very soon. The Centraps
Clearwater extension to Birmingham will
be completed May /.
The Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way is pushing the work on the branch it is
building from Townsville, Ga, into Flor
ida, and it is not improbable that it will
build some other fee ,ers within the next
twelve months
The Americas, Preston and Lumpkin
railroad is getting along very well. Its pro-
motors may determine to build across the
Altamaha and make Savannah its terminus
There are rumors that the Savannah,
Dublin and Western enterprise is not dead
beyond resurrection, and that local capital
lists have fair prospect of getting q grip
upon it. If they do they will build it
without delay.
The latest railroad scheme which has at
tracted the attention of Savannah is that
projecte1 from Columbia, S. c., to this city
Those who are directing it are earnest and
energetic, and it would not be at all sur
prlslng if they should be successful in their
undertaking.
The Chattahoochee Brick Company has the
contract for grading 1870 miles of the Co
lumbus Rome and Chattahoochee railroad
and it has given large bond to complete
the work by May 1. The same company
has the contract to build the Columbus and
Southern railroad. This line connects Co
lumbus, Ga, with Albany, Ga, and the
brick company is to construct the bridges
and depots and put down the rails, 1t has
agreed to have the road completed early next
year
The Brunswick and Western railroad is
to have new steel rails and to be put into
first-class condition. When that is done
Savannah will have another good line to
the West
Col Fry's road, the Atlantic, Atlanta and
Great Western. is attracting a great deal of
attention along its projected route. 1t las
been suggested that if it is built to Spring
field, the proposed road from Columbia, S.
c., might join it at that point, and use its
track to reach this city, or if the South
Carolina road is tuilt first the Atlantic, At
lanta and Great Western might utilize the
formers track.
OF course it is not certain that all of these
projected roads will be built at an early
day, if at all; but some of them will. The
fact, however, that so many projected rail
roads expect to find their seaboard outlet
here shows that Savannah is attracting a
great deal more attention than any other
South Atlantic port.
What all of these railroads want is a sea
port with harbor that will accommodate
vessels of the deepest draft. For this, as
well as other reasons, therefore, no effort
should be spared to secure an appropriation
as soon as possible for the twenty-eight foot
Improvement.

The Preacher Loved a Horse.
Erom az Boston Trnnscript.

FTOm the DOStOH AFQHoCTtDCs
The old-fashoned clergymen in old times used
to be very good judges of horSefieSh. They had
to be, for they did most Of their travelling on
horseback. The story goes of a noted circuit
preacher in southern New Hampshire that he
once gave most unexpected testimony to his
keenness as critic and judge. 1t was still
Sunday in midsummer Every window in the
church was wide open. The air seemed hardly
to move. The buzzing of the locusts in the
field came in from afar, and accompanying was
the scent of the pines from the grove near the
sacred edifce Not far distant was wooden
bridge. The preacher had just completed the
treatment of the fifteenth head of the dis
course, and was pallsng for an instant on the
verge of sXteenthly. Just then was heard the
clear, quick, measured football of a trotting
horse passing over the bridge. The pastor
paused and looked at his congregation; the con-
gregation looked at the pastor, Then said the
pastor, in tone of confident judgment, and
with touch of certainty of general agreement
in his tone:
Mighty even trotting beast that! Six
teenthly, my hearers" and the sermon was
continued.
