The Baby and the Bug.


A Boston journal says: Among the passen
gers on the St. Louis express yesterday was a
woman very much over-dressed, accompanied
by Driyht-lookiug nurse girl and a sci wi led
tyrannical boy of about years.
The boy aroused tn in lignation of the PAS
sengers by his continual shrieks and kicks and
nurse. He tore her bonnet, scratched her
hands, and finally spat in her face, without a
word Of remons rance from the mother.
Whenever the nurse manifested any firm
ness, the mother chided her sharply. Finally
the mother compo ed herself for a nap, and
about the time the boy had slapped the nurse
for the fifth time, wasp came sal ing in and
flew on the window of the nurses seat The
boy at once tried to catch it.
The nurse caught his hand and said coax
ingly:
Harry mustn't touch. Bug will bite
Harry
Harry screamed savagely, and began to
kick and pound the nurse.

lifting her head, cried out iarply:

Members of the medical profession are
receiving a circ llar over the name of DR..
William A. Hammo d, in which Dr. Lewis
A. Sayre, of New York, is attacked in VIC
lent language. 1t seems that Dr. Hammond
became convinced that DIR. Sayre had l.
timated hat he (Hammond) was being paid
to boom the Brown-Sequard elixir. The
first paragraph gives tolerably fair
idea Of what follows it. DR.. Ham
mond says: "A few days since you asserted
to a newspaper reporter that am ma king
$1,000 a week out of the so-called d =.
Brown-Sequard elixir of lifs.' You did
this wi hout the leas5 evidence in support of
the statement, and with that moral
reck essness which is promine 1T
feature of your character. 1t origi-
mated entirely in your debased
and dishonorable mind. You knew how
you would act under similar circumstances.
and YOU affected to believe that would be
equally as low as you are. You knew at
the time that you were uttering a willful.
malignant and deliberate lie.n DR.. Savre
says he did not make the statement ascribed
to him. The elixir appears to be causing
trouble among the doctors as Well as among
their patients.

Prohibition at Asburv Park.

For sever al years A>bury Park, great
summer resort on the New Jersey coast, has
been a stronghold of prohibition. 1t IS so
no longer. The founder of the place, and
the owner Of a large part Of it, Mr.. Brad
ley, admits that it has failed there. When
he founded the town his intention was t.
make it noted for temperance and mo al
ity 1t has always been a very moral
place, but he has not succeeded
in keeping whisky and beer out
of it. People cannot enter the su there
on Sundays, nor are the railway trains per
United TO stop there on those days, but not
withstanding tle Law aud all of Mr.. Brad
ey's efforts, they can get i toxicad g
liquor there. How they get it Mr.. Bradley
cannot discover. They get it, however,
and in sufficient quantities to get intoxi-
Gated The deeds of all the lots
hat have been sold in the town
contain a provision prohibiting the sale of
intoxicating liquors on the premises, and
the are regulations prohibiting the bring
ing # any intoxicating liquors within the
limits of the place. Whisky and wine and
beer are there, however, and in such guam
titles as to make the prohibitionists feel
somewhat hopeless about the ultimate sue
cess of the prohibition cause.
Mr.. Bradley, who is still the ruling spirit
of Asbury Pa k, in q published commune
cation, admits that he regards it as i'm JOS
sible to enforce prob bition the o, a d an
nounceS his conversion TO high license. He
says that although high license is com
promise it would be wise to adopt it, be-
cause it is better 10 have intoxicating
liquo sold openly, under proper rest ic-
tions, than surreptitiously, because both the
community and individuals would suffer
les' Injury.
Prohibition has never yet been su1cess-
fully enforced in any community where
the majority of the people were not in favor
of it. 1t is therefore mistake to attempt
TO force it upon commu mites in which pub
lie sentiment is against it. No doubt that
for eight months of the year pro iJition is
enforced at Asbury Park. because during
that period public sentiment favors it, but
when the town is crowded with thousan is of
summer residents public sentiment is the
other way, and Intoxicating liquors are
quite freely sold. The probabilities are that
Asbury Park can never be made a st 'ictly
prohibition town. 1t certainly cannot as
long as the great majority of its summer
residents are not in favor Of pro ibiuion
The prohibitlonists should draw les
son from the experience of Asbury Park
lnsteadof aiming at co lstitu .ional prohibit
ton in tue different states they sh uld favor
local option laws and devote their energies
to educating the people in tempera ICE. In
chat way they can make prohibition sue
cessfuL When the maj rity of the people
OF a county are converted to temperance
they will adopt prohibition. and one county
after another in a state can be won to pro-
hibition, until finally the whole state will
have adopted it. 1t is imp ossib!e to enforce
prohibition where the people are against it,
This is admitted by practical men. Olly
theorists. or those who have axes to grind,
pretend 10 think otherwise.

Questions for the Organ.

It would be extremely interesting TO hear
what those repubican urnals, which are
| always seeking instances of discrimination
against the colored people in the south,
have to say about the cali which the CO.
! ored voters of nine Of the principal counties
of Obi have issued for a conve ition, TO be
| held in Toledo on Sept. 10. Those who have
! signed the call for the convention say that
there are s., 200 colored voters in Ohio, d
that the colored people in that state are dis
criminated against to such an extent that
no colored man l. given an Office Of impOr-
t@uce in any of the municipal ID county
| governments, and that the treatment which
the coloreI pc ople have received from the
| state governm mt Of which Gov. Foraker is
the head, is s. fragrant ami outrage )us as to
raise the question whether tina col pred vote
should not be divided between the two great
parties.
The colored people of Ohio have slavishly
adhered to the Republican party with the
hope that they would eventu ally receive a
reasonable amount of recog lition from it.
They are di 'appointed and dissaJis fed. Not
only are they denied any reward for their
services. but they see their children dis
eliminated against in the public SC ools.
The Republican orga IS never seem to
hear the complain S which the colored PEG
pie in the north make, but If a black man
in the south, for political reasons, makes
an cutlery about discri ninatiO1 against his
race they all hear Of it very quickly.
Way IS it that colored mel in Ohio are
not given places in the state government,
and in the governments of the towns and
townships! Is it because they are not
gu Lifted for them, or is it because there is
a prejudice the e against t Ell race! Why
is it that at Oxford, Felicity, Xe ia, Gal
hpolis and at otler towns in the state efforts
ar being made to keep the colorod children
out OF the public schools!
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, the
Philadelphia Press, he New York Tribune.
the Chicago Inter Ocean and other repub-
lican organs ought to lswer these ques-
tios for the be edt of their col )re real
ers. Perhaps they can answer them in such
way that it will be doomed unnecessary
to hold the Toledo convention. Let them
try, at least, and in trying they may gain
| such light as will enable them to discuss
discrim nations in the south with greater
regard for truth

A.Wonderrlll Railway.

It begirs 10 look as if the time were not
very distant when steam locomotives woull
be superseded by those run by electricity
and water, just as the old stage COACHES
were superseded by stea loco motives, aud
as If, instead Of travelling, at the most, sixty
miles an. hour, people would be whir oil
along at the rate Of 1875 to $50 miles an hour,
without noise, jarring or dust.
Some weeks ago the MORNING NEWS
stated that a Baltimore gentlemal had in
vented new railway system by which
mail matter and light freig could b.
transported at very high rate of speed, the
motive power Of which was electricity. A
Paris correspondent described the other lay
another new system by which the invento
b. pes passengers may be car led at the rat
of about $50 N les an hour, without danger
of derailnent and without unpleasant re-
suits of any kind. A model of the ne " rail-
way is on exhibit N near Paris Ths
motive power is wa or. The great advan-
tage claimed for this hydraulic railway sys-
tenn is, of course, increased speed, but an
other advantage is freedom from danger of
boiler explosions.
The rolling stock is less expensive than
that on the steam railways, but the track
costs more. In addition to the QUITE tr ,ck,
there is an inner one, from which project
TAPS" through which streams Of water are
forced bv hydr ulic pressure upon certain
projections under the train called paddles :"
! The TAPS" open automatically whel thu
train reaches them, a ID close in the same
manner after it has pas ed over them.
They supply the motive power.
Neither the engine nor the cars
have wheels Instead, there are what the
respondent calls skates, grooved to fit
the track. These skates slide over a thin
layer Of water, the water being forced
under them by hydraulic pre- sure The
correspondent took ride over the model
and he was carried in safety and comfort
at the rate of 1876 miles an hour. Tne in.
ventor of this wonderful system is French
man. He made his discovery in 1868, bu.
until recently he did not have the means &c
put the system into practice. II this day
of wonderful inventions scarcely anything
seems to be IL rea onabls.

SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.
The Morning News Annual Trade Review
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, viii DO issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. /, 1889, will be a
memorable one 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 / 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, judgi2g from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great ess 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 MORNING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present to the wor d Savannah OF
to-day" In q 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 bu mess of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise a 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 hgures that Savannah is
without 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 a pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends
1t will afford business me an opportun.
fly Of saying something about their business
and themselves. 1t is hoped that In size, a.
well as in other respects, it will sur ass
svery 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 tn,
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as ne have reason to believe II
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 fol
by the canvassers.
