The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-08-22

The Atlanta correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press has discovered a growing
protection sentiment in Georgia. He paws
his compliments to the tariff reformers as
follows: at is an era of small men in Geor-
ga. The silent minority includes all or
nearly all of the strong men of the state,
and the little fellows find themselves on top.
Joe Brown, Capt. Howell. Henry Grady,
Pat Walsh, Nat Hammond-such men as
these have been relegated TO the rear, and
Colquitt and his henchmen are trying to
run things. A sorry mess they are making
of it. They sent to the st. Louis conven-
ton a delegation which contained not one
man of prominence. Party discussions in Sa-
vannah, Augusta and Atlanta have followed
under this leadership, and from IA demo-
cratic standpoint things are in pretty bad
shape. The republicans are quietly organ
izing for the coming fight. The scheme to
have Maj. Mckinley, of Ohio, address the
people at Chautauqua, has been zealously
fostered by the republican leaders. although
it had its origin outside the republican
ranks. The people are hungry for informa-
ton upon the tariff question, and as the
protectionist democrats have the highest
admiration for Mckinley, they intend Civ
ing him royal reception. His speech will
do good. The democrats naturally feel
secure, but some mighty strange things
have happened in politics. Notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Mckinley made his speech last
night, there are fewer protectionists in
Georgia this morning than there were
year ago. The list enumerated by the
Press takes in nearly all OF them who are
democrats Of prominence

From the Neto York star

A curious scene took place recently out on
the Missouri river. couple of horse thieves
who had murdered a farmer and his son were
to have been hPnged, and the scalfold was built
on the jstties running out into the stream. The
first man brought out was an Englishman. He
bent forward lis neck, the moose was slipped
over it, the trap was sprung and he was
launched into eternity, The cord, however,
Finding himself there, he swan for his life,
gained the opposite shore and escaped. The
crowd was amazed.
When the next man came up he bent forward
his head and said politely TO the sheriff:

An Unduly Excited Contemporar7

The Timber Gazette, the brig6l and in
teresting newspaper of Darien, is unneces-
sarily worrying itself this hot August
weather over the bin lately introduced into
congress by Representative Norwood, which
provides for taking Sapelo from tine Sa-
vannah collection district, and adding it to
the Brunswick collection district 1t seems
to think that all the people of Savannah
ara thinking of nothing else than how
to defeat this bill, and that they
hesitate to 60 to bed because the bill might
be passed while they are asleep Here are
a few extracts from its Saturdays issue:
docs Savannah really want to shake
Darien" "Darien has always been near
friend of Savannah is Savannah now
going back on her friend?n In a commuui-
cation signed "Darien All the Time" the
statement is made that There is swell
head class in Savannah" 1t is further an
nouncod that there are people in Savannah
who want the world" and that Hon.
Tom" Norwood failed to get the support of
Chatham because he would not bow the
knee to the swell head class"
The writer of the communication pays
his respects to the MORNING NEWS, and
says that it is a fair exponent of the senti-
ment existing in Savannah. "Have you
ever noticed, he asks, that the NEWS has
ever said anything in encouragement of our
railroad enterprise1" He answers this ques-
ton by stating that the News is afraid that
a few barrels of naval stores and other
Thugs will find an outlet at Darien.
All of this is very interesting, and, per-
hops, by our esteemed contemporary, the
Gazette, is regarded rs rather sensational.
Doubtless the Gazette thinks it is pleasing
its readers. 1t ought to know what its
readers want. 1t is certain that we shall
not complain. We are willing that the
all that it is worth. 1t may he well, how
ever, to state that as far as we know, Sa-
vaunah isn't holding mass meetings nor
circulating petitions against Mr.. Norwood's
Sapelo bill Tho Gazette and its CORE
srondont appear to be the only ones who
are stirred to tho profoundest depths of
their souls by ii. Are they quite sure Sa-
yannah is opposing it' II they are not,
would it not he advisable for them to be a
little more calm about it until the weather
becomes coolerl
With reference to Darien's railroad, what
is there about it that Is new, or what can
the NEWS do to encourage it? The NEWS
has spoken OF IL in the most favorable terms
many times, and will do so again, gladly,
Whenever it can get any new points with
regard to it. Perhaps the writer of the
couununIcnt ion in the ca -sffe will sand ,,s
something. II may be, however, that he
would rather make complaint than help
the railroad

The riaheries Treaty Rejected.

The sennte Yesterday refused, by strict
| party vote. to ratify the fisheries treaty
The responsibility for defeating the treaty
rests upon the republicans. 1t is not too
much to shy that they were controlled IN
/ their action Icy political considerations, and
not by a conviction that the treaty was
unfavorable to American fishermen.
The treaty was negotiated with no other
! view than to promote the public interests.
1t is true that the senate was opposed to any
treaty being negotiated, and it is probable
that the republicans of that body deter
mined to refuse to ratify any treaty that
might be presented to the senate, however
Just and otherwise mcritOrious 1t might
be. They did not want the administration
to have the credit Of settling complicated
and Vexatious question, because 1t would
naturally aid the democratic party IN the
pending presidential contest.
Another and stronger reason why they
were against ratifying the treaty was that
they wanted to create the impression among
the Irish voters that the republican party
was hostile to England, and would consent
to nothing that made any concession to that
country. In all of their speeches against
ratification, therefore, they endeavored to
make it clear that the treaty was one
sided affair, in which England got all that
was valuable, and this country nothing that
was worth having. They went to extremes
in some of their speeches in their efforts to
arouse feeling against England, and to
cater to the anti-English sentiment.
Whether they succeeded in pleasing any
considerable number of Irish voters remains
to lie seen 1t is very doubtful, however, if
they did.
There can be no doubt that the treaty
was just one, and that it gave to this
country about everything that had been
claimed by American fishermen. The fish
ermen themselves appeared to be satisfied
with it, In fact, Massachusetts fishermen
passed resolutions in which they called the
attention Of the senate to the fact that the
American fisheries interests were in the
grasp of a great trust, and that genuine
American fishermen were being robbed by it.
If the republican senators had any support
whatever in the course they pursued it was
received from this trust.
The administration has made praise
worthy effort to settle the fisheries ques-
ton Both the President and Secretary
Bayard were guided by the purest motives
in doing what they did. They succeeded in
having treaty negotiated which, eventu-
ally, will be admitted, even by republicans,
to have been fair to our fishermen and hon
orable to the country. The people will hold
the republican party responsible for what
ever trouble follows the rejection of II.

RObbing the Malls.

The successful mail robbery scheme
brought to light in Chicago last week is
probably the most gigantic known to the
postal service. Negotiable papers amount
ing to something like 100000 were ex-
tracted from the street mail boxes. and the
amount OF actual cash obtained is, no doubt,
considerable. as great many people will
risk the loss of small sums rather than go
to the expense of getting money order or
having letter registered. 1t has been
stated that as many as 10000 letters were
extracted, but the chief Inspector of mails
at Washington thinks this an exaggeration,
and his reason for thinking so is very
good one. He says that last year the de-
partment received only $4,000 complaints
of letters lost in transmission, and it seems
improbable that one person could be respon-
sibe for a percentage of losses probably
one-fourth as great as that due to all the
casualties known to the service.
A letter often has quito an experience be-
fore it reaches its destination. 1t travels
by horseback, stage, steamboat and rail
way, is hurried through crowded cities and
conveyed over mountains, and from the
bIIle IL Is III bllt SlIttb uIlUll
it is delivered to the person addressed, it is
liable to fall into the hands OF some dishon-
est official or employe Yet the thefts in
the service are remarkably few, compare
lively speaking. Last year S50,00O,O 600
worth of stamps were sold, and the number
Of mail pieces handled was enormous The
fact that only "a 900 complaints of missing
letters were received speaks very well of
the diligence practiced by the department.
The robbery of street mail boxes is not
new wrinkle. A person is now in jail in
Washington for that crime, and his method
is somewhat ingenious. He slipped piece of
paper, with kind Of pocket attached, into
the box, so that the mail matter was de-
posted in the pocket, and it was very
easy matter to extract letters from this
false bottom. A similar scheme was at
tempted some months earlier in New Or
leans
Mail robberies are becoming less frequent.
The would-be thieves realize probably that
the chances of escaping detection are very
few. Though the quantity of mail matter
is increasing all the while, the percentage
of losses is decreasing constantly.

addresses. They are long weary, watery, in
