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

The usual complete and comprehensive expo
s;t,or of the business of Savannah, known as
the Annual Trade Review, will be issued from the
Office of the MORNING NEWS, on Thursday, Sept
q This edition has been for many years one of
the features of the opening of the busy season
In this city, and is looked forward to by the bus
iness men of Savannah 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
tisticts 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 bat 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 a very
prosperous one, but that upon which we are
entering promises to be even more prosperous.
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
sanitarium for people who come to enjoy the
sea breezes.
And the coming year; what Of It'll Is 1t not
s.flled to the brim" with the highest anticipa
tionsf There is to be a magnificent hotel, the
sinest in the south, new county court house
and q 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
cfty's growth in population and wealth, the
public improvements which have been and are
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 q growing, but very
prosperous city.
The business men Of Savannah cannot make
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 a capital
list, merchant, manufacturer, mechanic, or a
man of leisure, should feel a.pride in the city.
The Trade Review will be sent to all sub
scribers of the DAILY ana WEEKLY NEWS, and a
large number of extra copies will 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.

Needs to be Corrected.

The following sentence is kept standing in
display type at the head of the editorial
column of the Indianapolis Journal: 1--WE
don't want any republicans in our coun-
try" The assertion is attributed to Sena-
tor Colquitt and Representative Stewart,
of Georgia, and it is quoted from alleged
statements by them at about the time they
were charged with refusing to deliver an
invitation to Representative Mckinley, of
Ohio to make q tariff speech in Georgia.
OF course they made no such assertion.
The long and short Of the matter is that the
Indianapolis Journal expects to serve the
republican party by making it appear that
a proscriptive spirit prevails among the
people of Georgia. If the Journal were as
anxious to print the truth as it is to make
political capital, 1t would have made the
proper amend some time ago.
A proscriptive spirit with regard to poll
tics does not obtain in Georgia. When Mr..
Mckinley comes to this state to make his
tariff speech, he will find this out. The
treatment he receives will be such that he
will have no cause for complaint, and prob
ably it will be much more generous and
polite than that accorded Gov. Gordon by
Ohioans some months ago Neither does a
proscriptive spirit exist with regard to
northern immigrants to Georgia They
will be welcomed, if they are of
the sort who make good citizens, no
matter what their politics is. In all
the leading cities of the state, and in many
Of the towns and counties, some of the best
and most influential citizens are men who
removed there from other sections, and who
are frequently republicans.
The quotation which the Journal makes
not only reflects unjustly upon Senator Col
quit and Representative Stewart, but is
calculated to injure the state of Georgia.
The Journal should lose no time in correct
| ing 1t. Will it do it2

The Quarantine Against Jacksonville
There are some new cases of fever at
Jacksonville, and the impression seems to
prevail among the physicians there that an
epidemic cannot be prevented. However,
every effort to check the disease is being
made, and there is still hope that it will be
confined within narrow limits, and that it
will soon disappear.
The fever does not seem to be of malig-
nant type 1t is so mild, in fact, that some
of the physicians who have the repu-
tation of being yellow fever experts
have doubts about it being that disease.
However, no very correct judgment
of its character can be formed yet awhile.
Although mild now, it may become very
malignant later in the season. There are
some grounds for hoping, however, that it
will continue TO he mild. The fever when
last at Key West was so very mild that
some of the physicians there continued to
insist for several weeks that it was not
yellow fever. 1t was that disease, however,
but at no time while the epidemic continued
was the death rate large.
There is feeling of uneasiness notice
able in this city on account of the presence
of the fever in Jacksonville. This is to be
expected, but there is no occasion for
alarm. 1t is within the bounds of probabil-
ity of course, that the fever may be brought
to this city, and may gain ledgment
here, but the probability is very remote
Savannah has had an exceptionally healthy
summer thus far, and her sanitary condi-

Precautions have been taken against the
introduction of the fever, and, very wisely.
The interests at stake are too vast to admit
of any neglect on the part of the authori-
ties, or of any weakness. They should do
what experience and common sense teach
them ought to be done, and whatever they un-
dertake to do should be done thoroughly and
completely. To determine on a course Of ac-
ton and then to follow it in a weak and
vacillsting way would be about the same as
doing nothing at all.
The quarantine against Jacksonville
should be effective. An ineffective quaran-
tine is just as burdensome as an effective
one, and affords very little protection. Let
us be certain, then, that our quarantine is
effective. An effective quarantine requires
capable and conscientious men in the posi-
tions of responsibility. Such men can be
had if they are sought, and it is the duty of
those who have the appointment of them to
seek them. The services of indifferent and
careless men, OF men who cannot appre-
ciate the Importance of the trust reposed in
them, should not be accepted on any con-
sideration.
The authorities should act as il there were
danger, whether they think there is reason
for apprehending danger or not. They can
not afford to take any chances, and there is
no need for taking any. They should act
in harmony with the railroad authorities,
IL possible, because harmony may add to
the efficiency of the quarantine service, but
they should make no concessions which
their judgments do not approve to secure
harmony.

Blaine's Return.

Mr.. Blaine, the real leader of the repub-
lican party. arrived in Now York yesterday
morning, and was given a reception such as
few ooher men in the worlds history have
received. He was in excellent humor. and
in the enjoyment of such robust health that
he said he felt like a boy again.
The republican leaders are very glad that
Mr.. Blaine has returned. The republican
canvas was without enthusiasm and with
out intelligent direction. Gen. Harrison
was trying to put some life into it by his
little commonplace speeches to visiting del
| egations, but it was apparent that he was
| doing bis cause more harm than good.
Mr.. Blaine is expected to put the cam
paign on boom, and he will do his best to
meet the expectations entertained of him.
He has been gathering facts in Europe to
sustain the protective system, and, in all
probability, he will have great deal to say
to American workingmen about the pauper
labor of Europe. He may also explain how
it is that he now approves the Chicago plat
form, although in his criticism of President
Cleveland's tariff message he objected very
emphatically to free whisky.
But the republicans are so glad to have
Mr.. Blaine back, and are so anxious to have
him take part in the campaign, that they
will willingly overlook his little inconsistent
cies or refer to them as matters of no i'm
portance.
1t would be interesting to know how Gen.
Harrison feels in his lonely indianapolis
home while the republican masses are
selves hoarse in Blaine's honor in New
York. Does he grit his teeth and take a
silent oath that If he becomes President he
will make Blaine know his place But it
would be folly for him to do that. He will
never be in a position to invite Mr.. Blaine
to take back seat.

Girls First.
DinGh Muioch Craig.

The best husbands ever met came out Of a
family where the mother, most heroic and
self-denying woman, laid down the absolute
law, "Girls first" Not In any authority, but
first to be thought of as to projection and ten
derness. Consequently, the chivaIrous care
which these lads we're taught 70 show their own
sisters naturally extended itself to all women
erous, unexacting, courteous Of speech and
kind OF heart. In them was the protecting
strength OF manhood, which scorns 10 use its
esty OF manhood, which infinitely prefers being
lovingly and openly resisted TO being ''twisted
round ones finger" as mean men are twisted
and moan women win always be found ready TO
do IL, but which, think, ali honest men and
brave women would not merely dislike, but ut
terly dspise.

Judge A. l.. Morrison, of Arizona, was
one of the speakers at the frolic in Ne W
York the other night, when Banker Levi P.
Morton occupied the place of honor in
tended for Mr.. Blaine. Judge Morrison
said: 81 have just been thinking that if
Grover Cleveland had been defeated four
years ago. and was coming back from
Europe, how many people would come this
far to meet himp This was greeted with
republican applause and laughter. All
right, Judge Morrison; let Mr. Blaine have
credit for magnetism; but when the people
want President, they turn to Mr.. Cleye-
land. The democrats are satisfied with the
way in which the honors are divided.

Plenty Without the Fish

Peters, the colored pugilist, took little trip
INTO the country last month for q vacation saws
the Free Press, and, as has often happened to
White men under the same circumstances he
got dead broke fifty miles from home and
started back by the kings highway. One day,
when he had reached the thirteenth mile-post
west of Detroit, he met wagon load of people
going to picnic. There was a smart Aleck on
the wagon, and he ordered halt and said:
I've got to lick this Niger or we won't catch
any fish to-day"
Several of the people protested and argued.
but the young man was bound to show off
and he jumped down, pulled off his coat, and
said ~
Niger, can you fightY"
No, sab, replied Peters, as he backed away.
Il m sorry for you but I've got to do it. I'll
be as easy as can, though"
He put up his dukes and made a rush Then
the heavens and the earth seemed to come to-
gether and all the powder mills in the county
exploded at once.
You've killed him. shouted the occupants
of the wagon in chorus
No haven't jist reached fur de pint of
his Jaw, and he'll cum to in about mint"
He was a true prophet. Aleck opened his
eyes after bit, sat up, rubbed his law. and
then suddenly dashed for the wagon and climbed
in.
"How about de fish, sahg'' asked Peters. as
the wagon was about to go on.
Fish fishr' shouted Aleck as he got a fresh
brace on his jaw. 'Durn your black hide, but
do you suppose want the whole earthp'
