Campaign Points.

II is hardly probable that the campaign
will become exciting until after the ad-
journment Of congress, and Speaker Car
Isle does not think congress will adjourn
much before the middle of September. The
fact that the senate has determined to pass
tariff bill will delay the campaign some
what because the tariff lines cannot DO
clearly drawn until the republicans have
passed their substitute for the Mills bill.
1t is clear that they are not satisfied with
the tariff plank of their platform If they
were, they would not be so anxious to pass
a tariff BILL and besides, in framing a bill,
they would be careful TO have it in harmony
with their platform. If the report respect
ing the bill (Which, it is understood, the
finance committed has agreed upon is cor
rect, it is not only not in harmony with
thor platform, but is an admission that the
platform is a blunder.
The managers of the democratic cam
paign do not care what course the republi-
cans pursue with respect to the tariff. The
republican record is sufficient to convince
tho country that the republican party
favors the monopolie3 rather than the farm
ers and workingmen. No bill hat the SEN
ate can pass will be accepted by the people,
in heu of this record, as indicating the pur
pose of the republicans so far as the tariff
is concerned.
The democratic managers are receiving
the most encouraging reports from all parts
of the country. They have no fear with
regard to any Of the so-called doubtful
states, and are beginning to think they
have chance for carrying New Hamp-
shire, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Minnesota. The indications received from
every source are that Mr.. Cleveland is
much more popular than he was four
years ago, and that Judge Thurman is a
greater source of strength to the ticket than
Mr.. Hendricks was in 1884.

THE MORNING NEWS ANNUAL REVIEW
Or THE
BUSINESS OF SAVANNAH
WILL Be ISSUED THURSDAY, SEPT. 6, 1888.
OF THE

The usual complete and comprehensive expo
sition of the business of Savannah, known as
fhe Annual Trade Review will be issued from the
spffice of the MORNING NEWS, on Thursday, Sept
g. This edition has been for many years one of
ahe features of the opening of the busy season
in this city, and is looked forward to by the bus
dpess men of Savannah as one of the chief
means of calling the attention of the public to
Savannah's business, and her prospects for the
coming year.
The annual review will give not only the sta
fisticts of cotton, naval stores, rice, lumber and
other products, and the data concerning the
wholesale business of the city, and its manu-
features and other industries, but it will con-
tain an interesting account of what has been
done in the city during the past year, and tell
what its enterprising citizens have in hand for
the next. The closing year has been very
prosperous one, but that upon which we are
entering promises to be even more prosperous.
A matter that is of the greatest Importance
and one that deserves especial notice, is that
Savannah is no longer place that strangers
fear to visit in the summer. In fact. with our
accessible seaside resorts the city has become a
sanitarium for people who come to enjoy the
sea breezes.
And the coming year. what of itf Is it not
s'flled to the brim" with the highest anticips-
lions? There is to be magnificent hotel, the
finest in the south, new county court house
and a new public building. There are to be
more railroads. more homes and more public
improvements.
No year in the history Of Savannah has been
brighter than that which has just closed. The
citys growth in population and wealth, the
public improvements which have been and
still being made, the erection of immense bust
ness houses, the Inauguration of new Industries,
the extensions made by the two great railroads
which transport the products of Georgia and
adjoining states to our wharves, all prove that
Savannah is not only a growing, but a very
prosperous city.
The business men of Savannah cannot make
a better investment than by sending copies Of
the MORNING NEWS Annual Special Edition
to their friends and correspondents. A
newspaper like this Trade Review, contain
ing an accurate account of the business
of this city, is the best advertisement of the
energy and activity of the people of Savannah.
Every citizen, whether he is capital
list, merchant, manufacturer, mechanic, or a
man of leisure, should feel a.pride in the city
The Trade Review will DO sent to all sub
scribers of the DAILY and WEEKLY NEWS and a
large number of extra copies viii be mailed
thoroughly covering the territory tributary to
Savannah. Advertisers will find it of great
value. Space in its columns can be obtained
upon application to the Business Office.

PREFERRED THE DEAD TO TIE

A Colored Pastor Gives a Forcible Re-
buke to His Congregation.
From The CHICAGO Times.

From the Chfc00O Times.
A city undertaken relates that he had fu-
neral recently at one of the heightened colored
churches on the South side. The preacher, who
is good deal of a commo I-sense man, got up
and read chapter and then closed the book
without selecting a text, but he spoke as fol
lows:
'Brudders and sisters, de church am crowded
to-day as l habent seed TO many day. In
fac as de theaters sometimes put il, dar am
standin' room only. Now, why am dis? l can

A Gentle Reminder.

A gentleman who has been prominent in
| politics, in speaking of the colored vote,
said the other day that it helps very mate
rally to make up the big republican major
| ity in Pennsylvania, being especially potent
in Philadelphia, and that even were the
| exaggerated accounts of bulldozing by
southern democrats true, they would be
offset by the same practice carried on by
| the republicans of Penns ylvania While
| this bulldozing, he says, may not take the
shape of threats of bodily injury, there are
many other means of punishment or ven
geance which may be held up to prevent
| colored people from voting the democratic
ticket
There is food for thought in this. In the
first place, if all the colored voters of the
north were to vote the democratic ticket
Pennsylvania and Ohio would be classed as
doubtful states, while New York would be
| reliably democratic. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that tho republicans know and APP
preciate this How much buldozing do
they practice to keep the colored voters of
the north in linel Is this bulldozing con
fined to Pennsylvania, or does it extend to
every northern state where the colored
vote is essential to republican successs
The investigating committees appointed
| by republican congresses to take testimony
| in southern election cases have uniformly
| confined their inquiries to scope too mar
row Their sole object has been to unearth,
or pretend to unearth. election abuses prac-
ticed by southern democrats If this were
not true, they would have discovered that
a good deal of browbeating and bulldozing
has been practiced by southern republicans
Colored people who desired to vote the
| democratic ticket have been prevailed
upon" not to do so by threats of vengeance
made by other members of their race, and
many who have followed their inclinating
have been given the cold shoulder.
IL is not too much to say
that some have been foully dealt with for
voting with the democrats. Southern peo-
pie who understand the situation know
these things to be true, and while there is
| much less work of the kind than there was,
there has not been cessation of it, Re-
publican organs and politicians whose stock
in-trade seems to be the bloody shirt need
to be reminded occasionally Of these
things.

One On "Jud" Clements.
From the Nelo York Grapnlc.


"Jud Clements" of the Rome district of
Georgia has started down to his home to look
after his denomination to congress. He has
been eight years member of the house. and
he wants to stay there for the present. Tom
Coakly, one of the New York doorkeepers of
the house, tells how near Mr.. Clements came to
losing his place at the last convention in his
district. 1t appears that one of Jud's constit
ents, who is a man of considerable influence and
generally sane on all other points, had an
old breastpin that he had convinced him
self belonged at one time to George
Washington. He wrote to Clements describing
the pin and stating that the father Of his coun-
try had carved his name on il with his own
hands. The writer desired Mr. Clements to at
once introduce a bill into the house providing
for the purchase Of the breastpin, and named a
good round sum as the price OF course the
congressman laughed over the matter. but he
did not even smile when, few months after
ward, at the meeting of the congressional con-
vention in his district, he found that the breast
pin owner had come up from one of the back
counties with big delegation pledged against
his denomination. Jud Clements is a good
t9lker, but he had to scatter himself around
very lively to molify the big granger and save
himself from possible defeat in the convention

The Market Hours.


1t has been suggested that the city market
be kept open all day. The suggestion is one
well worth considering. If adopted. it would
not increase taxes, but it would afford an
advantage to the people which would he
highly appreciated. 1t is not Improbable
that it would have been adopted long ago if
it had been pressed upon the attention of
the authorities
A great many housekeepers have not time
to go to market before 8 a. m. BY the time
breakfast is over and the children are
prepared for school it is too late to go TO
market, and the street hawkers or the
green grocers must be depended upon for
the days supplies. The supplies obtained
from these sources may be very good, but
they are necessarily not as extensive as those
to be found in the city market.
A great many housekeepers, while they
may be able to reach the market by 9 a. m,
cannot get there much before that hour,
and, hence, they find that all the choice
articles have been sold. II the rule were
to keep the market open all day, the market
mon would see to it that their stocks were
about as good later in the day as in the
cul HlOIHlHR. IHcy WOulu supply OueHl-
selves with the means of keeping meat, fish
and vegetables fresh, and would be ready
to fill an order at any time of the day.
1t is probable that this suggestion will not
be popular one with majority Of the
butchers and hucksters, but, then, it must
be remembered that about all changes of
old customs which are proposed meet with
opposition. The authorities might give the
suggestion a trial, and if found not to work
well, it would not be a difficult matter to go
back again to the old way.
This is period of changes and improve
ments and although all changes are not
improvements, great ma ~ of them are.
Savannah is very conservative and adopts
changes slowly, and she seems to be a good
while getting used to those she does adopt
If the market were kept open all day,
great many things might be sold there
which must now to be obtained elsewhere.
The result would be more vigorous competi-
ton, and the people are always the gamers
from lively and healthy competition. The
statement is frequently made that the cost
of living is much greater in Savannah than
in any other southern city. If the charge
is true, it is time there was a change. There
is no good reason why all articles of food
should not be sold as cheaply here as in
Atlanta or Charleston, or, at least, nearly
So The city in which living is cheap
always has attractions for those who are
seeking new locations for homes.

How the Fox Escaped.
Youths Communion.

IOutH o COHtOtJTOft
The following amusing Incident of a fox 8
escape from its pursuers comes from BirdsbOro,
Pa. A fox that had given the hunters a lively
chase across the hills from a neighboring town
to Brdsboro, where 1t was being hard pressed
by the hounds. escaped in this way:
1t had been running along the tow path of the
Schuylkill canal and suddenly dashed off toward
the river. The dogs followed it, but lost the
scent at the rivers edge When the hunters
rode up they discovered boat near the middle
of the river floating down with the current In
the boat standing on the seat in the stern was
the fox. gazing back at his pursuers with evident
satisfaction. One of the hunters discovered
another boat on the Shore and quickly pulling
it off, padded after the boat that was bearing
the fox away.
The fox's boat was gradually being carried
by the current near the opposite shore, and by
the time the hunter in his was half way from his
startling point to the fox's boat, the latter was
within a rod or two of the other side of the
river This seemed to be as much as the fox
cared to ask of his boat and he jumped over
board and swan ashore.
BY the time the pursuing hunter reached that
shore the fox was a mile away.
The only explanation that is given of the
peculiar combination of fox and boat in the
hunt is that the boat was lying loosely on the
shore The fox jumped into it, and the force of
his jump sent it out into the stream. He had
sense enough to remain in the boat, and the
current did the rest.
