The Rankin Ame7dment.


The defeat of the Rankin am ndment in
/ the House by two-thirds majority SHOWS
quite clearly that the legisla,u re does not
4 intend to agree TO arbitrate the claim which
/ the le,sees make for betterments The
amendme was supported by some Of the
| ablest members of the House, and all was
said in support of it that the attorneys of
the lessees could have sail. The decisive
vote against it leaves no room to hope for
any legislatio of the kind proposed in 1t.
1t is probable that the Senate will take
| the course adopted by the House, though
doubtless an effort will be made in that
body to accomplish what was sought t. be
accomplished in he House, with the hope
that the two houses viii disagree and that
the question at issue viii be referred 70 a
conference committee. The course taken
by the House, however, is so fully in har
mony with public sentiment that it is
hardly within the bounds Of probability
that the Senate will take a different course.
Those who are opposing arbitration or
the payment of any extraordinary clam
for bettermeats have no fear that the 5 tate
road will be permitted to run down during
The remainder Of the lease They feel as
sured that Senator Brown, who is opera
ting it. would not C nsent to anything
of that kind He does not want
any accidents to occur under his manage
ment, and it is safe to say that he doos
not intend that any shall if he can prevent
them. While he would like to see the Iessees
paid for betterment, it is not reasonable 10
suppose that he is going to run any ks for
their benefit. The courts are open to them.
and 1t is probable tnat he would advise
them to go there if they were to sugge,t
taat be should let the road run down and
that the money saved in that way should be
paid over to them.
The people have taken a deep interest in
those proceedings of the House which re-
late to the betterment claim. They do not
want what does not belong to them, and if
they thought the claim just one, they
would not hesitate to say so through their
representatives. They have always re-
garded the permanent improvements of the
state road as belonging to them,
however, and they do not vet see
any reason to change this opinion.
The claim for betterments was not sup-
gested during the first years of the lease, for
the reason, doubtless that no such claim
was contemplated. 1t was only when a
rev lease began to be talked of that the
people became aware that there was going
to g claim for betterments.
There is no reason to doubt that the ac
ton Of the House will be generally approved.
The les'ees have never yet stated exactly
what they claim. When they do the legls
lature may give them hearing.

Mr.. Flack, the civil sheriff Of New York,
is convinc d, doubtless, that be made a great
mistake when, by deceit, be induced the
court to graft him divorce. The decree
has been set aside, and he is again husband
against his will with a fair prospect Of
losing his Office, which IS worth 800, 600 a
year. The agents who assisted him in get
ting the judgment are in disgrace, aud one
Of them, the referee, has lost his position.
The others stand a very good chance Of
losing theirs. The judge who rendered the
judgment. and the lawyer who was on
record as the attorney of the wife, appear
to have acted no estly, but they we're so
negligent in the discharge of their duties
that it is question whether the attorney
ought not to be disbarred and the Judge
asked to resign.
Nc. Fiack mas bean forced 10 resign from
the Tamany Society, and it is not improb-
able that Others who were connected, one
way aud another. with the divorce proceed
ings, viii be forced out of that organize
ton.
The attempt of Mr.. Flack to get rid Of
ms wife in an irregular manner has already
c st him pretty big sum. and it will cost
MN great deal m re before the matter is
ii ally settled. When the court was con-
vlnced that fraud had been committed it
very promptly annulled the judgment.
There are some facts in the case which have
not yet been made public, bat enough is
known to justify the statement that Mr..
FIack aud his frie lds were guilty Of one of
the most glaring frauds ever perpretrated
on court.
Had Mr.. Flack gone to New Jersey or
any other state and married as soon as the
divorce was granted, there would have
been very muddled state of affairs. He was
IN position to contract a legal marriage.
Ills lawyer says that the annul nent of the
decree of divorce is not valid. Perhaps the
higher courts will be asked to decide
whether or not it is.
There is another point that the higher
courts will probably be asked to decide.
IL Is whether the refusal to permit Mr..
i lack TO be heard in the proceedings for the
nuiment Of the decree of divorce was in
accordance with the law. The court held
when Mr.. Flack asked to be heard that he
had no right to appear in the case because
he had permitted a judgment for a divorce
70 De taken against him by default.
There are several interesting legal cues
lions to be settled, and a little more of the
secret history of the divorce to be made
public before the case is finally disposed of.

SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.
3he Morning News Annual Trade Review
A Few Pointers in Relation Thereto.

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re-
view, containing a complete and compre-
hensive statement of the business of Savan-
nah, will be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. l, 1889, will be a
memorable one il the history of Savannah.
and the MORNING NEWS proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The MORNING NEWS in its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities In the union,
and that her citizens, Judging from what
they have done during the last year are
fully alive to the greatness of her future
They have proven by the various local i'm
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confidence
in her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The MOANING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present to the world Savannah OF
to-day" IN resume Of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
viii be in such shape that, at
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the business of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do business
either in summer or winter 1t will
prove by figures that Savannah is
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she is
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be newspaper which
those who feel pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business men an opportun-
ity of saying something about their business
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size. as
well as in other respects, it will sur, ass
every previous edition. That, however,
depends entirely upon the orders it re-
ceives from advertisers.
1t is desired to distribute $4,000 copies.
and that number will be distributed, if the
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as ne have reason to believe 1t
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies of
the paper can be handed in at the business
Office, or, if desired, they will be called for
by the canvassers.

The New York Sun thinks it probable
that the young Emperor of China will visit
this country in 1892, during the proposed
exposition. 1t says he has for some time
been anxious to come to America The
Washington Post doesn't think he will come
1t declares that the relations existing be-
tween China and the United States, on ac
count of the enactment of the Chinese ex-
clusion law, would prevent him from d ing
so, and it adds: IF he were going to Eu-
rope by the way of America he would nat
urally efer to SAIL all the way arouad
Cape Horn sooner than run the gauntlet of
the customs officers at San Francisco and
lay himself liable to be sent back under the
exclusion act"

than Gov. Lowry of Mississippi, who wants

century principles of civilization in a state

which, only few months ago, was de-
moralized by White Caps, barn burners and
highway robbers, and which is noted for
frequent murders, should not talk so.
