The Time Proposition.

The proposition to adopt standard time
J for tho city is pending in the City Council,
and. it is expected, will he acted upon at
the Councils next meeting. 1t is propo-
sitioH that should be carefully considered
( Neither prejudice nor personal interest
/ should be permitted to influence tho Conn
/ ellis action upon it. The simple question is
( this: VIII the community be benefited by
/ the adoption Of standard time! If the facts
/ show that it will standard time should be
adopted at once, even against the protests
of some influential people who think their
interests would be injured by it.
Standard time and local time, differing as
they do thirty-six minutes, keeps the public
! mind in a constant state of confusion. The
city is guided 10y local time and the hotels,
steamships and railroads by standard time.
Travellers who stop here find themselves
muddled, concerning the time, from
their arrival until their departure, and
citizens who have anything TO do with tie
transportation lines, aud the great majority
Of the business men have, are constantly
annoyed by the two time systems. Even
the mails come and 60 by standard time,
and when one is told tat Il certain mail
will arrive at a. m. the question immedl-
ately presents itself whether standard or
local time is meant, and If standard the
local time has to be figured out.
Savannah is about the only important
city in the country that clings to local time
1t is not easy to understand why it does so.
Some employers, it is alleged, say that their
IL,
standard time were adopted, and it is under
stood that others want to go to dinner when
the city clock strikes 2, local time, and that
a habit of years would be nterfered with if
the proposed change were made.
1t is apparent that these objections are
trivial. II standard time were adopted
everybody would soon become used to it,
and all kinds of business would 60 on as
harmoniously and profitably by it as by
local time
The little trial which the city gave stand
ard time was not a fair one. Some of those
who were opposed to it refused to try to ad-
just their habits and business to it. They
kicked against it vigorously until they in
duced the Council to rescnd its action. The
desire of a few was accepted as the will of
the majority, though if an expression could
have been obtained from the majority it is
probable that 1t would have been in favor
of standard time.
The present movement in favor of stand
ard time grows out of the vexations and
complications which arise from the two
kinds Of time. They will have to be en-
dured as long as the City Council persists
in adhering to local time The transpoit ia
ton lines and the mails are bou8d to be
guided by standard time, but there is moth
ing that compels the city to stick to local
time. Let standard time be adopted, and
those who now oppose it will be satisfied
with it inside of three months.

Crop Estimates from Washington.


1t is question worth considering whether
the crop estimates of the Agricultural Bu-
reau do not do more harm than good. A
/ great deal of reliance is placed upon them,
and they have, therefore, great influence
upon the prices of the articles to which
they refer. Spectators use them to adj
vance or depreSs prices, and even those who
confine themselves TO legitimate trade are
guided, TO some extent, in their operations
by them.
few months ago the tobacco growers Of
the country We're very indignant because
the estimates of the tobacco crop, being
altogether too large, greatly depressed
the price Of tobacco. They demanded that
the statistician who made up the report
should be dismissed. They even went 50
far as to send delegation TO Washington
to remonstrate with the Commissioner of
Agriculture for keeping in 50 responsible
a position a mau who, they sincerely
believed, WAS wholly unfiL for the discharge
of its duties. The delegation was given
respectful hearing, but it was not success
ful in its mission.
Those who are interested in cotton are
now complaining of the bureaus cotton
crop reports. A few weeks ago the bureau
estimated the crop at G. 300, 900 bales. In it's
last report it admits that it may reach
6,9)O,000 bales. When the first estimate
was published it caused cotton to advance
rapidly because itindicateda comparatively
short crop, and it was known that the de-
mand would exceed that estimate 1t
seems, however, that, according to its
last figures, the bureaus first estimate was
100000 bales too small, and when this fact
became known there was a sudden and
rapid decline in prices and there was some
thing like a panic.
If serious mistakes occurred only once in
a great while they would be overlooked, but
the truth is they are occurring all the time
and in connection with all the leading agri-
cultural products. The estimates of the
wheat and corn crops are as faulty as those
of cotton and tobacco, and have the same
effect upon the prices of these articles.
Nodoubt the Agricultural Bureau does the
best it can, but until it can do better would
it not be advisable to do nothing at all! 1t
is better to have no information than 10
have that which is not approximately
correct. The public has great CON
fidence in the reports OF the bu-
reau because it is a government in
stitution Its facilities for getting correct
information are believed to be better than
those of private individuals. 1t is supposed
to be able to pay a compensation sufficient
TO command the best talent, and to make
exhaustive inquiries AS a matter of fact it
cannot know great deal about the
reliability of the correspondents upon
whom it depends for information, and there
are reasons for supposing that there is a
great deal more guessing than there ought
to be-
The whole country would like to see the
crop estimates of the bureau made more
reliable, but if that cannot be done it is
doubtful if the bureau should be permitted
to make estimates.

INCONSISTENCY OF HAMLET.
Sardou Thinks That the Mad Prince is
an Empty Windbag.
From, Lippincotfs Mnqozine.

From Lippincotfs Magazine.
Sardou has perverted views on Hamlet" He
calls the play idiotic. "'Hamlet, D" he says, ''is
an empty windhag hero, whom Shakespeare
has clothed in dramatic fog, and whom the
German critics have stuffed with ali their cloudy
concepts. The Ghost is simply ridiculous He
appears to everybody save his wife. Why is he
visible TO Horatio, to Bernardo 10 q lot of in
different people, and never TO his wife, who
murdered him: What a comic scene is that Of
the oath 'Horato and .Marcellus' swear
never to reveal what they have
seen. Why doesn't Bernardo swear
too! Or, rather. what is the use of
anyone swearing? The doting old Ghost
has forgotten his visits to the sentinels of the
castle. As 10 the philosophy, find it no bet
ter than the plot. People go into ecstasies
over the famous soliloquy To be, or not to be-
can not myself know if our souls are annihi-
lated after death or not But if any one is well
informed upon that point, it is Hamlet, who
talks every day with his defunct father. / de
clare and repeat, that there is nothing good
in the play in my opinion, except the scene with
the actors, the idea Of causing to he played be
fore the King and Queen a murder similar to
that which they had committed in order to sur
prise their secret AS TO the duel at the end
and the exchange of foilS which brings about
the catastrophe, the weakest playwright Of to-day
would not dare to employ such anethod to end
his piece.

Mr.. Holman's Romance.

A very interesting romance, of which
Congressman Holman is the leading charac-
ter, is goirg the rounds of the press. 1t has
been noticed lately that Mr.. Holman is
losing his reputation as watch dog of the
Treasury. His objections are now few and
ar between, and on this account, probably,
the New York San has dropped him as a
Presidential candidate.
The story is that when a very young man
Mr.. Holman loved a beautiful girl whose
father was rich. He sought her hand in
marriage, but her father objected to him as
a son-in-law. He certainly hadn't much to
recommend him. He had neither wealth,
good looks nor brilliant prospects. He had,
however, what the rich man didn't suspect.
viz, talents and indomitable perseverance.
disappointment in his first love affair
didn't destroy his ambition. He determined
TO achieve success in life, and before he had
got much past middle life he was prominent
at the bar and in politics, and had acquired
a comfortable fortune
couple of years ago the widow Of a
Union soldier applied to him for assistance
TO get pension bill through Congress. She
was the sweetheart of his early manhood.
1t seems that she had married Louisville
man who had not prospered, and who had
died leaving his widow poor. Mr.. Holman
is knd-hearted man, and, perhaps, some
thing Of the old-time affection still lin
gered in his heart. He gladly undertook
the task of getting the widows pension bill
passed, but it was a much harder task than
he had anticipated. The tactics which he
had employed in preventing the passage of
such bills was turned against him. When
ever he attempted to call up the bill OBJ
jections were heard on all sides Finally he
said TO his fellow members that if they
would let his little bill pass he would cease
his frivolous objections t. their measures.
The widow got her pension and Mr. Holman
ceasel TO be the great objector. Whether
or not there is to be sequel to the romance
is matter that is known only TO Mr.. Hol-
man and tn charming widow

Doubtless Senator Sherman expected to
help his Presidential boom by being held up
to the country as the champion of the Pa
citlc coast people i'll their opposition to
Chinese immigration. The history of his
connection with the resolution calling for
Chinese treaty, however, is not very cred
table to him. He knew that for some time
Secretary Bayard had been negotiating
such a treaty, 50 he went to him aud found
out that ouly few formalities were neces-
sary for its completion. The next day he
introduced a resolution asking that Just
such treaty as Mr.. Bayard bad described
TO him be negotiated. II was a piece of
sharp practice, but the Presidents reply to
it showed the country who deserved the
credit Sherman's Presidential bee causes
him to do good many unbecoming things.

Grandmother's Cottage Door

From the Ne1o York GrdDhic.
In the fair, fresh mornings years ago,
When the world was good to see,
When earth seemed little he aven below,
And youth was joy to me-
When friends were real and love was true,
And life was sweet to the core.
What beautiful morning glores grew
At grandmother cottage door.
can smell the fragrance of roses red,
And of mint as the soft winds pass,
While the dew Ike q web of jewels is spread
All over the crowding grass
The pink sends love IN fragrant way,
And the robins chirp as of yore,
When the morning gories in rich array
Chung close to the cottage door
The cottage was old and small and quaint,
A picture WITHOUT and within;
The coating Of age was its only paint,
And moss hid its shingles thin;
It's windows twinlltd under the caves,
With the laughter of light they wore,
And the morning glor S with dancing leaves
Laughed back from the cottage door
And grandmother too. like her house was Old
But the burdens of love and care
Had changed the dress of her life TO gold,
Until she was angel fair;
Like the glorieS. her heart, at the morning hour,
Enclosed 10 the sad and the poor,
She was symbol and queen Of the dainty flower
That grew at her cottage door.
Oh many and many year, the sod
Has gNeued over grandmotber's grave;
She went like a little child TO God
Her soul was so pure and brave;
But know though heavens gardens be fair to
view
She remembers the days of yore.
And the mornng-glores she loved that grew
Round the dear old cottage door
MARY A. DENGsoN.
