City Improvements.

The Improvements which nave been made
IN the streets, sidewalks and squares within
the last year or two ia this city have had a
very beneficial effect Property upon the
streets which have been paved has increased
greatly in value, and il is doubtful if any
one Of the owners of It regrets the money
that he has paid for street paving. The
sidewalks are being put IN good condition,
and the people fad greater pleasure than
ever before in walking about the city view
ing the evidences Of its steady growth. The
Improvement that has been made in John
son square is 50 great that nearly everybody
comments upon 1t. and many wonder why
the iron fence around it was permitted to
remain 80 long
Every improvement that is made suggests
other improvements and if the council con
tinues to be guided by the spirit Of progress
Savannah's growth will continue to be
steady. If the city is made attractive,
fewer people win care to leave it for the
greater part Of the warm season. The
drainage work that has already been done,
and the artesian water, have i'm
proved the general health Of the
good sidewalks will keep the people here and
attract others. The city is already G very
beautiful one, but there are many things
that can be done to increase its beauty. The
shade trees have always been one of its
greatest attractions, and care should be
taken 70 plant trees wherever they can be
planted with advantage. There are some
bare places on Bull street. As that street is the
most beautiful one of the city, and the one
that is chiefly used as promenade, especial
pains should be taken to have it adorned
with shade trees.
OF course, there are some who grumble
at the expense Of improvements but their
number is not great. They are afraid that
their taxes will be increased and they are
always complaining that taxes are too high
and rents too low. They don't want any
more houses built because they believe that
new houses will cause a reduction in rents
or course the city cannot afford to stand
still in order that these grumblers may be
gratified. They would find something at
which to grumble if all improvements were
to cease, and they would still find fault if
taxes were reduced one-half
The Council is pursuing the right course
Let the work of improvement go on. Let
it be pushed in the southern part OF the
city, which is rapidly becoming the princi
pal residence part. If Savannah is to be-
come a large city, and the MORNING NEWS
believes it will, money must be spent in
improving streets, sidewalks, parks, ETC.
Let the grumblers grumble, but don't let
them obstruct the city's progress.

The New York EUening Post thinks some
of the Republican Presidential booms are
very ridiculous. Why, of course they are.
Nothing could be more SO. Here is an army
Of candidates holding ont their hands for
prize which one j. G. Blaine will probably
come along at the right time and grasp
The spectacle is very amusing. The most
ridiculous of all tie booms, however, &c
cording to the EUening Post, is that of ex-
Gov. Alger, who sees no reason why rich
man should not secure a Presidential nomi.
nation in the same way he gets a Senator
ship. The Ecening Post may be right, but
it is very difficult among so many rdicu-
lous booms to decide which is the most
ridiculous.

1t is said that the Republicans of the
House have not yet recovered from their
disappointment because of Mr. Kelly's
speech in opening the tariff debate for them.
The speech of Mr.. McMillin, of Tennessee,
Tuesday, is not calculated to raise their
spirits Mr.. McMillin laid bare tho falla-
cies of protection in a way that must have
been very unpleasant to them. The fact is
that the Republicans will DO very greatly

Breckenridge and others get through speak
ing for the people.

American and Indian Cotton Bales.


Iii the February number of the Reports
from United States Consuls there is an ar
ticle from j. B. Halves, commercial agent
at Reichenberg. on Packing and Shipping
OF American Cotton" The points pre-
sented are very similar to those reprinted
in the MORNING NEWS, from a Liverpool
paper, several months ago The purpose of
the article IS TO show that in India the
method employed in packing cotton affords
greater protection against fire than that
employed in this country, and that the
losses of American cotton by fire are
50 large that European insurance companies
may demand higher rates Of insurance on
American than on Indian cotton. The arti-
Gle gives the dimensions Of the cotton bales
OF different countries as follows:
American So by % by 80 inches, weighs
about 400 POUNDS, worth about 81 pence,
English, per pound
Indian, 40 by 81 by 16 inches, weighs over
400 pounds, valued at about AZ pence per
pound.
Egyptian, 81 by 30 by 90 inches, weighs
about 700 pounds. 1t being exceled only by
American sea island cotton, it is worth
about 1-16 pence per pound.
Bengal cotton is worth only 81 pence
per pound and Is also in considerable de-
mand. These bales measure about the same
as the Indian, and weigh over 300 pounds
The article states that American
cotton arrives i'll Europe in a
worse condition, so far as packing is con-
cerned, than any other cotton. The sack
ing is poor in quality. the hopping defec-
tive and the COMPRISING insufficient. 1t is
alleged that Egyptian waste is packed bet
ter than American cotton. The Indian
"bales are pressed very hard and have
thick, closely woven and strong bagging.
through which no cotton is seen. They are
bound with steel u hoop iron which makes
from thirteen to fifteen turns, and is rive!ed
very str5ngly. Cotton seldom, therefore
escapes from these bales. \ spark falling
upon such a bale would probably be ex-
tirgliished without causing fire." The
expert testimony taken in the case OF the
burned steamer Montreal was to the effect
that the chances of an American bale
igniting, owing to the way it is packed is
from ten to twenty times as great as that Of
an Indian bale, 1t is admitted that Ameri.
can cotton is much cleaner than Indian
cotton.
