Gen. harrison's friends and Judge
Gresham's friends in Indiana are carrying
on a very pretty Irritation. The situation
may be explained by the following from one
of Gen Harrison's hackers: al am sure
there is no friend of Judge Gresham who is
not willing, in consideration of Gen. Harri-
sons services to the party, to help secure
the Generals nomination but, that failing,
the friends of Harrison ought to be willing,
and think are willing, to turn in and help
secure the nomination for any other In
dianian whom the convention may be ready

they are likely to encounter is, which can

The Cincinnati Enquirer is enjoying the
Republican situation in Ohio. 1t is having
a great deal of fun, and no doubt it is
worrying Senator Sherman considerably
by en- ourogng Gov Foraker to become a
Presidential candidate. Here is one of the
pats it has given Foraker: 1--WE will not
be Tor Foraker for President under any cir
cumstances, and have no apprehension that
he or any other Republican will be elected
to that office in this year 1888; but we feel
free to say that he has as much right to de-
sire a nomination for the place ASHER

Reason to be Cheerful.

From the Washington Post (Dem.)'
The friends of revenue reform have every
reason to be cheerful, for the long term of their
bondage to a small minority of their party is
nearing the end. Given continuance of the
present rate of progress in the march of public
opinion, it requires no magician to fOresee that
the Ways and Means Committee bill will not
only pass the House, but will make its way
through the Senate

The Morocco Issue.

From our dispatches yesterday it appears
that fears are entertained at Tangiers that
our government will adopt vigorous meas
ures against Morocco because the Moorish
government declines to accede to
its demand for the release of
certain persons imprisoned at Ra-
bat, who, it is claimed, are under the pro-
lection of the American flag. There is no
occasion for alarm. Secretary Bayard
isn't going to advise hostile measures against
Morocco until he is certain that this gov
eminent is in the right in the controversy
which has arisen between it and the gov
eminent of that country.
Our Consul General at Tangiers, Mr.
Lewis, appears to be very patriotic kind
of man, and doubtless believes in uphold
ing the flag of his country, but it is ques-
ton whether he has not attempted to secure
privileges for those claiming the protection
of that flag TO which they are not entitled.
1t seems that a question on this
point arose between him and the
Moorish Minister, and the Consul General
informed the Minister that he should CON
suit only his own judgment with reference
to whom he should protect. The Minister
appears to have adopted the same indie
pendent course of action, and to have put
into prison for failure to comply with the
laws of the country some of those whom
the Consul General undertook to protect.
One of these parties, it is alleged.
was a Moorish subject, who had some bust
ness connection with the American Consul
late, and who, for that reason, desired to
get rid of paying taxes on taxable property
which he owned
The government ought to see to it that
the flag is respected in all parts of the world
but it cannot be expected to sustain its
diplomatic agents if they do foolish and I'M
authorized things. If Consul General Lewis
has been guilty of doing such things
Secretary Bayard will doubtless back out
of the unpleasant position in which
Mr.. Lewis has placed this government, as
gracefully as he can; but if Mr. Lewis has
acted within his authority he ought to, and
doubtless will, be sustained. 1t would be
inexcusable, to force weak gov
eminent, simply because it is weak, to
acknowledge itself to be in the wrong when
it isn't. Secretary Bayard is not going to
do anything that in the least smacks of
bulldozing, and if the government of
Morocco is disposed to do what is right it
need have no fear of trouble with this
country.

Senator Ingalls,, who has lately developed
into ready letter writer, says in one of his
latest letters that every man of in telligence
knew that his illusions TO Gems. Hancock
and Mcclellan were not as soldiers, but as
Democratic candidates for the Presidency.
Senator Ingalls, must be very obtuse man,
for it took him several weeks to find this
out. Another reason for suspecting him
of obtuseness is that he thinks the public
will swallow his explanation

In view of the fact that some of the anti
Cleveland papers have lately suggested sew
eral very ridiculous Presidential combina-
tons, the following ticket, urged by cor
respondent of one of the papers in question,
seems peculiarly attractive: For Pres-
dent, Grover Cleveland, of New York; for
Vice President, Isaac p. Gray, of Indiana
What adds to its attractiveness is that the
platform suggested is, reduction of the
tariff; no free trade" Let this ticket be
nominated on this platform at st. Louis
next June" says the correspondent, "and
victory is ours for the future 1t would
sweep through the country like Western
cyclone" Yes and like a Southern
cyclone, too, for the matter of that.

Is Hetty Green one of the members of
the Georgia Company! The inference from
an article in the New York sun is that she
is. The SUMS article contains the follow
ing: Last summer Mrs. Hetty Green,
working in connection with the ex-Vander-
bilt brokers, H. b. Hollins e. Co., cap
tured the Georgia Central Railroad and
Banking Company. As times continued
unpfopitious for movements of the charac-
ter undertaken they capitalized their hold
ing of Georgia Central railroad in a pro-
prietary concern known as the Georgia
Company" If the writer of the SUMS ar
ticle is we'll informed, Mrs Green never
parted with her Georgia Central stock.

The Australian Rabbit Plague.

The rabbit plague in New South Wales is
more serious than it is generally supposed
to be. The colony literally swarms with
rabbits, and while millions of them are
killed every year, they multiply so rapidly
that the decrease is hardly noticeable Their
depredations cause grave fears that farm
ing and sheep raising will have to be aban-
doned. The experience of an extensive
land owner, who spent $500, 900 trying to
exterminate them on his lands, and who
finally had to give up farming,
affords an idea of the gravity of
the situation. Last year the govern
ment spent more than 81 100000 in the
effort to exterminate the rabbits. 1t has
also built wire fence 4 feet high for 200
miles along the western boundary of the
country as barrier, and now proposes to
spend S3,O00,0O0 in extending this barrier
All sorts of devices for relief have been re-
sorted to. The common practice is to use
arsenic, strychnine, etc, and the rabbit
scab has been introduced, but it has been
found that this disease is communicated to
the cattle
Anew months ago the government offered
a reward of e25, 900 to anyone finding a new
and effective method of determination. NJ
Pasteur, the noted French chemist, has en-
tered the list of competitors. He proposes
the introduction of chicken cholera by
means of the microbe of that disease, and
has lately sent to Australia several savants
to show the value of his plan. Since decid-
ing to compete he has made an experiment
in France that proved satisfactory. The
owner of several vineyards had bred rab-
bits in one of the vineyards surrounded by
a high wall The rabbits became a
nuisance, and he applied for relief to M.
Pasteur who fed them on the microbes of
chicken cholera, and in this way exter-
minated them. Pasteur asserts that in the
same manner he can exterminate those of
New South Wales, but it is believed there
is danger that the disease will spread among
the birds, cattle and sheep.
New South Wales is thus confronted with
serious difficulties. On the one hand, the
farming and sheep raising industries are
jeopardized by plague of rabbits, and on
the other hand the methods proposed for
discriminating the pests threaten TO cause
the determination of sheep and cattle. 1t
may be found, however, that chicken chol-
era will not be communicated to these ami
mails.

RIVAL LOVERS AT LAW.

The Successful Wooer Knocked Out
by the Less Fortunate Suitor.
William Roberts (colored) was arraigned
in Magistrate Folliard's office yesterday,
charged with assault and battery on Sam
Miller (colored). Miller stated that Roberts
and himself were playing the devoted
TO the same girl. 1t so happened
that Miller got ahead of Roberts.
This angered the latter, and he swore ven
geance on the successful wooer, When they
met, Miller was with the girl as usual.
Roberts did not wait for him to accom- pany
her home, but stopped them and proceeded
to wipe the street up with the devoted es-
cort. Miller said he "grinned and bored
it," because be was too gallant to engage in
a doughty scuffle before his sweetheart.
He grew monstrous mad, however, before
they reached home, and one time he threat
ened to go back and lick Roberts, but he was
dissuaded from it. This anger suddenly
subsidized after parting with his sweetheart,
and he decided that a better plan would be
to have Roberts arrested, which he did.
Roberts denied the charge and claimed never
to have known Miller before seeing him in
court. He was guilty in the opinion of the
court, however, and was released on bond,
for his appearance at City Court.

NOT NOW AS 1T USED TO BE.
Where the Chatham Artillery Held It's
Practice Fifty Years Ago.

The project before the Chatham Artillery
looking to the purchase of a site on the
south end of Tybee Is and for a club house,
and also as point for artillery practice, it
Is to be hoped will meet with success. 1t
would not only be very pleasant place Of
resort fer the members of the ancient corps,
but it would give them an opportunity for
artillery practice at a place where their
services would be needed in the event of a
foreign war, namely, on the coast. The
project is capable Of great development.
Mr.. Phillip Box, one Of Savannah's Oldest
citizens, in speaking to representative Of
the MORNING News yesterday, in regard to
the growth Of the city, said that when he
was a young man the Chatham Artillery
had their target practice at the corner of
Habersham and South Broad streets, and
fired at target about where Liberty street
now is. The old gentleman who was
standing at the time near
the entrance to the Guards
Arsenal, also stated that he thought he
knew where the two thirty-two FOUNDERS
that the Guards have mounted on the brick
work in the rear of the armory came from.
He said that for years after the close Of the
war of 1912 with Great Britain, two similar
pieces of ordnance stood in a iunette at the
corner of South Broad and East Broad
streets commanding the Thunderbolt road.
and the "boys" used to steal powder from
the old magazine, then located about where
Troup square now is, and fire the old guns.
1t was considered good way of painting
the town red"
1t will be remembered that these old
cannons were exhumed when the founda-
ton for the arsenal was being laid. The
old State Arsenal had been used some years
previously as a temporary engine house of
the Metropolitan Fire Company, and the
members finding the old guns in the way,
quietly dug hole and dropped them in.
The guns were doubtless used in the Con-
federate defence of Savannah, in 1864, and
were hauled to the arsenal by the Union
force after the capture Of the city.
