The Brady Bill.

It is not probable that the Brady bill will
attract any more attention in this legisla-
ture. 1t was defeated yesterday in the
Senate by very ANAL majority. 1t re-
ceived more votes. however, III that body
than it was generally thong { it would.
Doubtless tie alleged discovery that low
grade fertilizer had teen sold to some
Scriven coanty farmers for a higher grade
Helped to increase the vote for it. However,
the bill would not have been taken up yester-
day mad not the president Of the Senate
(Ar. duBignon) assisted it's opponents. The
farmers who appreciate the injury the
Brady bill would have done them if it had
become law, and the fertiliz ,r dealers, are
under o legations to Mr.. duBignon in this
matter.
1t may be that the farmers are impos ed
upon sometimes by unprincipled fertilizer
dealers, bu5 it is quite safe to say that in the
great majority of instances the farmers get
just what they buy. Because now and then
a fertilizer is sold for what it is not, it does
not follow that all fer ilizer dealers deceive
their customers. Cotton, sometimes, is sent
10 market with brickbats in the bales, but
that doesn't prove that all cotton farmers
are dishonest.
IL is only once in awhile that farmer pays
for better fertilizer than he gets. 1t may be
true that fertilizers do not always produce
good results, but the fault may not be with
the fertilizers. Some soils are not improved
by one kind of fertilizer, but respond gen.
erously to another kind. A fertilizer that
produces good results one season may not
do so another.
The Brady BILL if passed. would have
been heavy blow to the fertilizer industry
in this state. Indeed, it is probable that
the industry would we been ruined. The,
farmers would not have been benefited
Their burdens would have been increased
They would have had to pay cash for fer
tilizers, and meny of them would have had
to borrow money at ruinous rates of inter
est to do So
1t is good thing for all concerned that
the bill has been defeated. 1t was dan
gerous bill There is no telling where the
kind of legislation for which it provided
would have stopped had il become law.
The same sort Of legislation would have
been demanded probably with respect to
other articles, until finally it would have
been difficult to carry business.
Let the legislature pass the Sanford bill
1t gives the farmers all the protection they
need, and there is nothing harmful to any
interest in it. If that bill becomes law, it
will be in the power of farmer who pur-
chases fertilizers to find out whether or not
he has b,el cheated. 1t is to be hoped that
the Brady bill will never be brought for
ward again.

The work or getting jury in the Cronin
case began several days ago, and it looks
very much as if it would occupy the attel l.
tion of the court for a month. On the first
day or two the court permitted a wide
range OF questions il the cross-examination
of the talesmen who were acceptable to
the state, but he finally concluded hat un-
less he limited the questions jury would
not be obtained by Oh tmas.
The defense objects to jurors who know
anything about the case, and it particu-
larry objects to Germans. If it could have
its way the jury would be composed of
men who never read the newspapers, and
who never talk with their neighbors about
sensational occurrences in their respective
neighborhoods. It wants jurors who can
not comprehend the testimony, and who
can be led easily into doubling the guilt
of the defendants, even if the evidence
against them Is overwhelming.
The objection of the defense to Germans
is that they have no scruples against CAPT
tai punishment. and, as general thing,
are very anxious that the uriererS of Dr..
Cronin shall be hanged. There is object IN
on the part of both the state and thu de-
Tense to Irishmen, because Irishmen are
pretty well divided INTO Cronin and anti-Cro-
min factions. The state doesn't want those who
are inclined to the belief that Cr0nil was
spy, and therefore ought to have been re-
moved, and the defe se objects to those who
think the kill G of Cronin was o horrible
crime and that those who committed it
r., q, f,,1I
There is not much doubt that the Cronin
trial will be the reigniug sensation in Chi
cago for a month or more. The Chicago
newspapers are print columns in connec-
ton with it, and they are expecting to
print many more before the trial is ended.
The chances are that unless the jury is an
unusually intelligent one there will be q
mistrial. The limiting of the number OF
questions which a tales nan may be asked
will have good effect, and the work of
getting jury will move along now, doubt
less, little faster.
The law with respect to jurors ought to
be amended in nearly all the states. As it
now is it is almost impossible to get intelli-
| gent jurors. Most citizens read the news
papers, and, hence, know great deal about
the sensational cases which may come
before them. They are not, on that account,
| however, unfit for service i'll the Jury
box. Unless they have made up their
minds as to the guilt or innocence of the
accused they are far preferable to those
who are wholly ignorant. They can find
verdict in acco dance with the facts what,
ever their opinions were when summoned
as jurors.

Race Troubles.

The cause Of the trouble between the
whites and blacks In lie Flore county, Miss,
has not yet teen clearly stated IN the pub
lie prints. 1t Is ceriaji that several hun
dTed blacks cOngrez q. ed and threatened to
attack the white FIR some real OF fancied
wrong, and that qIite a large force Of
whites dispersed them before the arrival Of
the military company, which the governor
had sent 70 the scene Of the disturbance.
There ought to be very thorough investi-
cation of the affair with the view Of plac-
ing the blame where it belongs and punish
ing those guilty of causing the disturbance.
A very serious riot occurred at Colds
boro, suburb OF New Orleans, on Sunday.
1t began when a train Of several cars loaded
with colored excursionists entered the
place. The whites say that the BLACKS began
the shooting, and the blacks declare that
he whites fired the first shots Quite
number Of people, white and black, were
wounded. After the shooting some white
hoodlqns burned a church belonging to the
blacks. and committed other acts Of a law
less character.
The New Orleans newspapers call for an
invesIgation Of the riot, and say that
although the origin of it may be
in doubt, there is no question that white
men set fire to the church. The authorities
of New Orleans will fail in discharging
their duty IL they do not make every effort
to arrest and send to the penitentlary the
perpetrators of the wanton act of vandal-
ism. Indeed, the state should take hold of
the matter and exert its whole power to
punishAhe guilty parties. 1t has not been
very long dnce similar outrages were COM
united in Gretna, another suburb of New
Orleans. Unless the lawless spirit of New
Orleans hoodlums is checked there will soon
be very unhappy condition of affairs in
that city.
The riot in Louisiana aud the one in Mis-
sissippl should be inves igated carefully and
thoroughly, and the facts given to the pub
lie. The fact that in such disturbances
moro blacks than whites are hurt creates
the impression abroad that the whites are
responsible for them. That fact, however,
does not show that the whites are to blame.
1t only shows that when a disturbance is
begun the whit display the greater GOODNESS
and do better shooting. The public is en-
titled to the facts, however, and it is the
duty # the Louisiana and Mississippi au-
Jnorities to furnish them. 1t is probable
that in each case it will appear that the
blacks were the aggressors.
While the blacks, as a general thing, are
peace III and law-abiding, there are many
among them who are constantly seeking to
make trouble. A few discontented and mis-
chief-making blacks, where there is a large
black population, can keep an entire commu-
nifty in n condition of unrest because the
trouble in Mississippi appears to have been
caused by the worst class of blacks.

Few Pointers in Relation Thereto.

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re
view, containing complete and compre-
hensive statement Of the business of Savan-
nah, will be issued Friday, Sept G.
The year ending Sept. l, 1889, will be
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 great iess 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
few years, make her the greatest seaport

The MORNING NEWS will in its Trade
Review, present to the world Savannah OF
to-day" In a resume of what has hereto.
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at a
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.
It will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do business

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 a 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-
ceiyes from advertisers
1t is desired to distribute $1,000 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.

Henry Clay once invaded Tennessee to make
a speech. When be arrived at his destination a
tough looking specimen, evidently in the last
stages of intoxicalion, stepped from the throng,
slapped the great orator on the back, and said:
"Howdy. Mr.. Clay?"
TIE great man shook his head and replied:

The man averted his ia e, while the Pickering
torchlights enabled the observer to study him

Twenty years ago, said Mr.. Clay, you had
not begun to grow that long beard, and were

Money for Southern Schools.
From The Philadelphin Record (Den,. :

From the PhiIddelDhia Record (Dent.)
The New Orleans Times Democrat retorts
very cever'y upon George w Cable and other
equally critical and uniformed persons who
berate the southern people for their failure to
educate the negroes. 1t shows that the average
payment for school purposes in proportion to
property is greater il the south than in the
New England or Middle states The money for
schools Is nearly all contributed by the whites.
For example, Pennsylvania pays 81 cents on the
500 for school purposes, whilst the south aver
ages so cents per Virginia paying IS cents
per SlOO, Florida 81, Arkansas go, West Virginia
81, Missouri 62. Mississippi g. When the i'm
poverishment of the southern people at the end
OF the war is considered, the fact that they have
since contributed S31, $50 900 for negro educa-
tion should serve to blunt the edge of hostile
criticism

When the maple turns to crimson.
And the sassafras to gold;
When the gentian'S in the meadow
And the aSter on the void:
When the moon is Tapped in vapor,
And the night is frosty cod
When the chestnut burrs are opened.
And the acorns drop like hail,
And the orowsy air is startled
with the humping OF the fail
With the drumming of the partridge,
And the whistle of the quail;
Through the rustling woods wander,
Through tn jewels of the year.
From he yellow uplands calling,
Seeking her VINO still is dear;
She is near me in the autumn,
She, the beautiful, is near.
Through the smoke of burning summer.
When the weary wings are still,

can hear her on the hill.
In the splendor of the woodlands.
In the whisper of the rill
For the shores Of earth and heaven
Meet. and mingle the blue;
She can wander down the glory
To the places that sue knew,
Where the happy lovers wandered
In the days when life was true.
So / think when days are sweetest.
And the world is wholly fair,
She may sometimes steal upon me,
Through the dinness of the air.
With the cross upon her bosom,
And the amaranth in her hair.

Aud to hold her gently fast,
Till blessed her, Till she blessed me-

The esteemed northern republican news
papers are more or less excited over
speech by ex-Collector Crenshaw,
of Georgia, when he turned over his office
toCollector johnson the other day. MIR. Cren-
shaw is reported to have said that he was am
bitious to hold but one more office-when
all the rottenness, population, fraud, cor
ruption, venality, rascality, ante-dated res
ignaUions, social equality between whites
and blacks, co-educatiol of the races and
other outrageous misdeeds of republican
misrule were conglomerated in one mass
and heaped IN one pile, he would be can
didate to apply the torch to the cracking

By the republican press to be an insult

The Hon. S. B. Price, mayor of Macon,
was in New York the other day. He said
I'm Georgia and the south we want north
ern capitalists and immigrants who mean
business; we don't want carpet-b ggers.n
Mayor Price has stated tbs case Ia a nut
she'll. The south offers to-day greater in
ducements to capitalists aud immigrants
than any other part of the country.
She is being industrially developed
at a wonderful rate. but the ad-
vancement that has been made in the
last ten years in this respect will APP
pear almost Insignificant when compared
with that which will be made in the next
ten. The fields of industry which are being
worked are just beginning to reveal their
riches, and there are fields which have
scarcely been invaded. The capitalist who
wants to get the best possible interest on
his money should invest in southern enter
prises, and immigrants, if they intend to
epply themselves to honest work, would
find the south the best place for them.
While the south wants northern capital
and Woodworking and honest northern i'm
migrants, it doesn't want people who would
come here for no other purpose than to get
thatawhich they cannot get in tho north,
viz, office; who would not help to develop
her resources, andewho would do nothing
but stir up bad feeling be.ween the races.
We have he'd enough of people of that sort.
Northern people who mean business will
meet with warm welcome. Those who
come to WORK mischief will very soon find
out that they are not wanted

probably agree with Us, on the other hand, that
state legislatures should not make themselves
