Our Harbor Appropriation.

There appears to be- very little probability
that the conference committee, which has
charge of the river and harbor bill, will
agree to all of toe amendment which,
/ through the efforts of Senator Brown. the
senate made to that part of the bill which
| deals with Savannah harbor The bill IS
| passed by the house appropriated 800, 900
! fer Savannah harhor. Senator Brown had
the amount increased to 100000, and
secured a recognition Of the twenty-eiGht-
foot project. The conference committee
has reduced the appropriation to slS0,000
and has struck out the twenty eight-foot
project. The senate couferees stood by the
senate amendments as long as they could
without endangering the bill, but the house
conferees were arbitrary and dictatOrial,
and declared that under no circumstance
would they sanction the projected new i'm
provement before the old one was com
pleted.
Whether all of the Georgia delegation in
the house have done their utmost to inhu-
ence the house conferees to retain the son
ate amendment, or whether they en-
deavored TO have such conferees appointed
by the house as would likely be favorable
to Georgia's interests we do not know, but
we assume they did, as they have the repu-
tation OF always looking out for Georgia S
welfare
There is no doubt that there will be no
effort made to reduce the appropriation be-
low $3.50, 900, and it must not be forgotten
that for getting 500, 900 of this sum, Sena-
tor Brown is entitled to the credit. He has
worked faithfully for Savannah harbor,
and his work is apparent. The people of
this city, and of the entire state, recognize
his services in this matter, and they will
not soon forget them.
There is still a chance that the apprOpria-
ton may be increased to 100000. The APP
preparation of $4,000 is to complete the
present Improvement, but owing to the sus-
pension of work for want of money to prose
cute it the river has shoaled greatly in
places, and it may not, therefore, he sufii
cient When the conference report is made,
Senator Brown will try, doubtless, to have
the appropriation made 100000 to be APP
piled to the completion of the old works.
Whether he succeeds or not, the people of
this state owe him great deal for getting
the appropriation, which the river and har
Dor committee put in the bill, doubled.

The MORNING NEWS will begin next Sun
day the publication of new story, entitled
''The Dream, " by NJ Emile lola 1t is a
deeply interesting story, and one of the
best productions of its celebrated French
author. Some fault has been found with
Zola's stories, because of their realism and
questionable purity. The Dream" how
ever is an absolutely pure story, and was
written partly to show the world that It's
author does not depend for success upon
scenes and situations which appeal to the
baser passions. There is not line In it
that the most rigid censor of morals would
find Objectionable, but it contains the
magnificent imagery, the keen analysis
of character and the graphic descriptions
which have helped to give Zola the greatest
literary reputation of any living European
author. The story will also appear in the
WEEKLY News.

He Also Was Included.
From, the baltimore S,,,

A good story is told by treasury officials as to
the causes which led the civil service commits
sion to include the position of the supervising
architect within the new classification Col
treret was very much opposed to having his
clerical force classified. When he learned that
1t was to be included in the new classification he
at once protested He called on Civil Service
Commissioner Oberly and said the office ST. ould
remain without the civil service fence Before
II should go in, he said he would see the Presi
dent and obtain an assurance that his force
should be exempt from civil service restrictions
Mr. Oberly listened very calmly to the Obiec-
tions made by the supervising architect
but when he got a chance to say
something for himself, said that moth
ing the colonel could say would
change the determination of the commission;
the supervising architects office was to be
classified, and that settled it. The story goes
that Col. Freret became somewhat angry at
the refusal of Commissioner Oberly to consider
his protest, and gave utterance to his views
which We're not at all complimentary to Mr.
Oberly or the commission. The commissioner
seemingly not at all affronted, remarked in his
peculiarly positive manner, Not only shall
your Office be in the classified service, but your
own position as we'll" So It is The super
viSng architectship has now only a weak
special rule between it and an examination
The position Is on the list, but exempted from
examination. Whenever it might be deemed
necessary, a prospective supervising architect
could be subjected to an examination to test
his fitness for the office

he had come 200 miles to see me- and wanted
my opinion, whatever it was So | told him
plmuply that his cancer was too far advanced
to yield to the surgeons knife, that it would be
almost certainly fatal to cut it, and that since
he desired my opinion, must tell him that he
ought not to expect to live more than six
months at the most.
Then he became very angry, and inSinuated

You see, lots of the democrats voted for Har

and the democrats hated them worse than the
republicans do the mugwumps now. They tried
to keep the 'straght-outs' from voting, and
there was terrible row at Osceola election day
Jim Breckenridge, a cousin of John c. Breckin-
ridge, was the leader of the straight outs and
he came near being killed. The democrats
armed themselves with clubs and stones and
about the middle Of the afternoon undertook to
drive the straight-outs from the polls. 1t was

Chairman Brice.

The chairman of the democratic campaign
committee, Calvin S. Brice, has had very
remarkable career He is comparatively
young man, being only 43 years old, and
very successful one. He didn't want the
Craftsmanship because he did not think he
had sufficient time to give to its duties, and
because he thought there were others who
were better fitted for the place. His friends
however, wanted him to accept it, not be-
cause they wanted to compliment him, but
because they were confident that no other
man was more capable of conducting the
campaign.
Mr.. Brlce is an Ohio man and is largely
interested in railroads. He entered the
army when lie was 16 years old, as a pri-
vate, and rose to the rank of lieutenant
colonel. After the war ne studied law and
practiced his profession for ten years. He
then turned his attention to railroads and
within few years acquired a fortune and
became known as one of the shrewdest rail
road operators in the country. Nobody
knows exactly what the amount of his fort
une is, but it is estimated to be from
s., 900, 900 to $l0,OOO,0OO.
He will make the campaign lively one
He is worker, and knows how to get the
most work out of other people His brain
is busy one, and is fertile in projects.
His opponents will have to be abroad early
If they get much ahead of him. The demo
Gratis are we'll equipped with leaders for the
campaign, and there is every prospect that
they will be victorious.
