I've told you, too, that there was the lady aboard

The Workingmen's Protest.

The protest, signed by workingmen of
this city, against the system of leasing the
convicts of the state, which was presented
to the Senate by Senator du Bignon, and
to the House by Representative Clifton, is
faulty in one respect. 1t does not suggest
a convict system in the place of the one it
wants abolished.
1t is quite certain that the legislature
would have abolished the lease system long
ago if it had known what to substitute for
it, The lease system is bad one. 1t is
open to abuses of various kinds, and it has
subjected the state to pretty severe
criticisms
But the objection to it which is contained
in the protest of the workingmen Of this
city is an objection that is raised against
every convict system that has yet been sug-
gested. 1t IS cruel to keep convicts in idle
ness, and, besides the people who pay the
taxes object to bearing a burden of that
kind. If the convicts were employed within
prison walls workingmen would raise the
same objection they do to their employment
in mines and on the plantations Their labor
would come into competition with free
labor
The legislature, doubtless, would gladly
receive practical suggestions tor the dispo-
sition of convicts, and if the workingmen
have any with which they are wholly salts
fed, they ought to forward them to Atlanta
at once. They ought not to present a
problem to the legislature without offering
to assist in solving it. The last legislature
| attempted to solve this same problem, but
met with no success, and the probability is
that this legislature will not be more fort
| innate.
| If the way were open for sending the con-
victs to Alaska, transportation might be
| the solution of the problem, but it isn't, and
| isn't likely to be- The Aleuts might object
as strongly to the convicts as we do, and,
besides, to send them there would be to
send them to almost certain death. 1t is
| all well enough to protest against permit
| ting convict labor to come into competition
with free labor, but how can it be avoided,

A Chance for Savannah.

The Montgomery immigration conven-
ton selected Savannah and New Orleans as
the ports through which foreign lmmi-
grants should be received into the south. 1t
did not, however. name the city in which
the central bureau of the Southern Immi-
grafton Association should be located. New
Orleans is making an extraordinary effort
to have the bureau located within her
limits
Savannah seems to be depending upon
her natural advantages to secure it, If she
were to make one-half the effort New Or
leans is the probabilities are she would be
successful. 1t is probable that those who
have the selection of the location prefer
Savannah to any other city, and that they
are only waiting for little encouragement
from her. They must of course consider the
inducement which are offered to them, and
if those offered by New Orleans are very
much greater than those offered by Savan-
nah, the chances are that that city will be
selected.
Savannah should wake up to the impor
lance of this matter. IL the Southern
Immigration Association should establish
its headquarters within her limits, it would
not be long, probably, before she would
have one or more steamship lines to Europe.
The establishment of European steamship
lines would be pretty certain to make her
grain, as well as cotton, exporting port.
Savannahs railroad connections now
reach every part of the south and west
Indeed, the greater part of the south is
reached by means of her railroads much
more quickly and cheaply than from New
Orleans. She has an excellent health
record, and her splendidly shaded streets
and beautiful parks would make A most
favorable impression upon immigrants
after an ocean voyage.
The bureau in question would be an ad-
vantage to Savannah in many ways. 1t
would increase her Importance in the esti-
nation of European countries, and would,
in that way, help to swell the volume of her
business. Castle Garden has been of vast
benefit to New York from a commercial
point of view, and a similar institution here
would contribute greatly to Savannah's
prosperity. Why is it that Savannah's
wide-awake business men do not take hold
Of this matter with the same interest that
is shown by the business men of New Or
leans?

The Driblet System.

Representative Grain ofsTexas, in a brief
speech in the House on Wednesday, called
the system adopted by congress IN making
appropriations for rivers and harbors the
''driblet system" 1t is not only 'driblet'
system, but a very costly one. Nearly
every river and harbor Improvement costs
from so to 100 per cent. more than 1t would
if the appropriations for 1t were sufficient
to carry it on continuously from the time 1t
! was begun until finished Congress, how
ever, knows that it is wasting the public
money in appropriating money for public
works in such a way that they cannot be
carried on economically, but it lacks the
courage to adopt the course which it knows
to be the right one.
The timeswlll probably come in the near
future when congress will deal with rivers
and harbors in busineSS-like way. 1t Will
be, however, when that body contains
good many more men like Congressman
Grain than it does at present.
The great majority OF the people favor
river and harbor improvements because
they are benefited by such improvements.
The value of the increased commerce OF
every river or harbor which has been inn
proved, with the exception possibly OF the
Mississippi river, is far greater than the
cost of improving it. As long as this is the
case, why should congress hesitate to make
such appropriations for rivers and harbors
as will permit them to be improved eco
nomically and without unnecessary delayl
Why should it be influenced by the criticism
of few newspapers which are hostile to
river and harbor improvements. rather than
by the material interests of the peoplel
The appropriation for Savannah harbor,
for instance, will be exhausted by next
June, and If there is no appropriation for
getting an additional depth OF water, the
commerce of the port will suffer serious in
jury. 1t has been decided by the govern
ment engineers that Savannah ought 10
have a channel to the sea of the depth Of
nty-eight feet Unless the strongest
kind of pressure is brought upon congress,
the probability is that there will
be no appropriation for an additional
work for several years, and that when APP
preparations are made they will be in such
small amounts that it will be many years
before Jne narDor VIII nave uepIn Oh
water sufficient to meet the full demands
of commerce. IF sufficient lump sum were
appropriated, a channel of twenty-six, or
even twenty-eight feet could be obtained in a
year or two, and commerce responding to
the opening made for it would quickly in-
crease to double its present volume. The
"driblet" system is an extravaganza and
weak one, and unworthy of men who pass
for statesmen.

Blind Mans Buff.

The farmer had five buxom girls
Joan, Betty, Hester, Peg, and Kate,
And all had dimples, bushes. curls.

But Kate was quiet as mouse,

And dwelt in her fathers house.

For games accompanied with noise;

Here's a Novel Suggestion.

New YORK, Dec. 1S-The Star in leading
editorial tomorrow will advocate the selection
in President Harrisons cabinet, on the ground
that this will be the most important Office in
the government during the next four years, and
that Mr.. Cleveland, by his firmness, justice and
industry, and the confidence felt in him by all
classes is exceptionally qualified for the post.
The Star says that race questions in the south,
and the ballot-box question all over the country,
are the great issues of the immediate future,
and IL declares that no other man possesses the
qualities needed in dealing with these matters
TO such degree MIR. Cleveland does.
