The MORNING NEWS will begin nextSun-
day the publication of new story, entitled
"The Dream" by NJ. Emile Zola 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 ITS
author does not depend for success upon
scenes and situations which appeal to the
ui,aser passions. There is not a line in it
'',,'- It 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.

Visitors here. who have recently been
over pretty much the whole south, say that
Savannah is the busiest and most prosper
Gus looking Of all the southern cities, in
Guiding even those which are supposed to
be enjoying boom.
There is no doubt that Savannah is OK
periencing very remarkable summer, 50
far as business is concerned Her summer
trade has been increasing for sew
cral years. The dread Of tn &c
or four months of business stagnation,
which formerly kept her merchants awake
at nights, has to IA great extent disappeared
OF course, in some kinds of trade, there is n
much less volume Of trade than during the
part of the year which is recognized as tn
| busy season, but in the most Of them there
is not only good business, but profitable
one.
There are several causes for this condition
of affairs. Savannah no longer depends
upon cotton Though she is still the second
cotton port OF the world, or on rico, once
the principal and active factor in her com
mercial prosperity. She is not only the
first market in the world for naval ores,
which give employment to labor aud capital
during the summer months, but she is the
home of lumber merchants and manu-
| fac,urers who almost control the timber
| interests of the pine regions of the state.
| The requirements of the naval stores and
| lumber interests furnish the summer bust
ness for the grocery, dry goods, hardware,
| and other lines of trade
| . There is another reason for the stir,
activity, and signs of contentment to
be seen in Savannah this summer
that has never before existed. 1t is the
opening of Tybee to the peoplo of the city
and state. The ease and quickncss with
which the seashore can bs reached and the
ocean breezeS enjoyed are not only bringing
people here from other places, but are keep
ing Savannnh's owl citizens at home
| Tybea and Savannah'S other seaside and
suburban resorts, Warsaw, Isle of Hope,
Thunderbolt Beaulieu, Montgomery and
| Rosedew, give this city advantages in sum
mer that but few places possess.

the discussion Of the chances of the differ

at Albany, the legisla 5urc now being in
session and the politicians from about every
county being gathered thcre. The bulk Of
the anti-llill men want TO propagate the
idea that the influence of the administra-
ton is to be cast against Hill in favor of
Mayor Chaplin, of Brooklyn, but this seems
contrary to all hitherto known conditions
Of the political barometer. Mayor Chaplin
would be "A strong candidate and pretty

The Tehuantepec Scheme.

Although comparatively little is heard
of the Tehuantepec ship railway scheme
nowadays it is not a dead and abandoned
enterprise by any means. Indeed, the pres
ent propriotors of it are quite certain that
they will succeed in building the railway,
and that it is & ing to be very great sue
| cess
A company, of which ex-senator Win
| dom is president, was organized some
months ago to build the railway, ana it has
secured all the rights which Capt. Eads
had, and also all tae concessions which the
Mexican government mado to Capt. EadS
and those who were Interested with him in
the enterprise. A construction company
has made a contract with the ship railway
company to construct and equip the rail
way, and the president of the railway COM
pany has gone to Europe to sell the com
pany's bonds.
1t seems that the railway is regarded as
entirely feasible by the most eminent of the
English engineers, That being the case
there ought not to be a great deal of diff
Guilty in disposing of the railway bonds.
One Of the most eminent of the English
|
engineer of the great bridge which is now
being built across the Firth of Forth in
Scotland, and of other engineering works
which have attracted the attention of the
scientific world. He is now constructing n
ship railway across the is linus of
ChignectO, in Nova Scotia, and
expects to have 1T completed
within two years. 1t will not be anywhere
near as long as the Tehuantepec ship rail
way, nor is it intended TO carry as large
ships. 1t will he seventeen miles in length.
and will transport vessels of ,, 800 tons bur
den. There are some great difficulties to
overcome, however One of them is at the
eastern terminus of the line, on ths bay of
Fundy. 1t is the tide which, at times rises
| fifty feet in the bay.
Mr. Baker has carefully examined the
plans Of the Tehuantepec railway, and pro
nounces them practicable If he can build
railway which will successfully carry
ships of $500 tons seventeen miles, he feels
satisfied that he can build one that w II carry
vessels of 5000 or more tons a hundred, or
even two hundred, miles.
1t would not be at all surprising if the Te-
| huantepec scheme should be a success There
are men of brains with plenty Of capital
behind it. If the promoters of thu Panama
and Nicaragua canals do not push their en-
terprises along more rapidly they may find
the ship railway people ready for business
! long before they are.
