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

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re
view, containing complete and compre-
hensive statement Of the business of Savan-
nah, win be issued early in September
The year ending Sept. /, 1889, will be
memorable one the history Of Savannah,
ana 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 il 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 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 confldeuce
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
city in the south.
The MORNING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present to the word Savannah Of
to-day" Iii 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 viii contain articles
showing the bu mess Of the city during the
year and present indisputabe 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 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 a newspaper which
those who feel pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business me 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 ha .ded in at the business
Office, or, if desired, they will be called for
by the canvassers.

dent Harri ,on, is u civil service reformer i'll

General Cla kson is. The other day he dis
charged ali of tle democratic letter carriers

what were the charges against them, he
very candilly said: "Gentlemen, there are

DIR. James Thorin ton, physician and
surgeon to the Panama Canal Company,
has had large experience in GLOW fever
cases, and he says that cocaine is an excel
lent remedy for yellow fever, He states
that before using cocaine in Colon in 1887,
black vomit was often marked symptom,
but that it never appeared in any case
where the drug was used from the start,
and it rarely failed to check the vomit and
quiet the stomach when the case was
treated not later than the fifth or sixth day.
He also says that he has never seen any bad
results from its use.

very offensive in her Language. Mrs.

A Corner in Bonds.

1t is alleged that there is a combination
in Wall street to force the government to
pay more for Cover me 1T bonds than ey
are worth. 1t is said to con rol $50, 600, 900
of bonds, and its purpose is to create
Stringency in the money market, if posi-
b g, and in that way create such a ella nor
for a distribution of par of the money
locked in the treasury that the Secretary
of the Treas Try would he frced to pur-
chase bonds at the combinations own price.
According to the reports the com Lination,
through its agents, has been spreading
gloomy reports of the condition of the
mon v market, and asserting that there
was danger Of fl ancial panic.
The New York banks, however, do not
seem to be disturbed by these reports, and
Wall street is not showing uneasiness on
account of them. The Secretary of the
Treasury does not regard them with alarm,
and shows no disposition to increase the
prices which he has been Offering for bonds.
The outlook now seems to be That the
sch me will fail, and that the combinati n
will lose money by its speculation. There
will not be much regret if it does
fail. Indeed. it ought to fail, be-
cause it is not strictly legitimate business
undertaking. Its success depends upon the
creation of alarm in financial circles, which
alarm may lead to financial panic Those
who are IN the combination are not much
better than pirates. Tuey would not take
human life probably, but they are willin .
to bring di aster upon the country in an
| effort to make q little money.
