Knew All About the Cronin Mystery.
Thomas Farley, who said he was q shoemaker
and has shop in Fredericksburg, Va, arrived
in the city yesterday. He said he was an Irish
man by birth and that he had come to this city
to give information concerning an Indian fight
that would soon occur near Fredericksburg.
He said that Indians, armed with Winchester
rifles, were in camp about the town and would
soon make an attack on the citizens. He said
that some of the Indians belonged to the Black
tribe, some to the Cherokees, and others were
Gray Eagles followers. Farley claimed to
know all about the Cronin mystery in Chicago
and thought the government would do well to
send him there. He claims that he is in
timately acquainted with Iceman Sullivan; that
Sullivan had nothing to do with the murder.
He told Sanitary Officer Frank Of his abilities
as detective and asked to be sent to Chicago.
An examination Of the records showed that
Farley was in this city just one year ago. He
then came to give information concerning
counterfeiters about Fredericksburg. He was
sent home by the sanitary officer.

says the New YORK sun, Stout, red-faced
Jolly looking man took his seat, smiling
pleasantly upon the few passengers who were
IN the car, and sat a gallon denijOhn down
beside him. Two thin. elderly ladies with severe
faces sat directly behind him, and the seats ad-
jacent, on both sides of the aisle were unoc
cupied. II anyone had entertained doubt as
question the uncertainty would have vanished
as one of them leaned forward aud, tapping the
stout man on the shoulder while she pointed al
the demijohn, said:
My friend, do you know what is in that?''
Certainly, a'am, replied the stout man
pleasantly. California brandy. Just bought

Becoming Somewhat Rational

There is a prospect that the south will
even ually obtain justice at the hands of
the northern republican press. A few years
ago, he republican newspapers of that sec
ton seemed to be of the opinion that the
people of the south were bl ,od-thirsty and
llwless. At least, one would Judge that
they were Of that opinion b. reading the n.
They said that life was not safe in any part
of the south, and made other reckless asser-
tons derogatory to the southern people,
Some of these northern newspa jers are
becomi g more conservative. The Philadel-
phia Inquirer, for instance, admits That a
person may 60 TO some parts Of the south
without being shot down in cold blood. 1t
says: The southern papers continue to re-
port almost daily the arrival of northern
capitalists and capital in certain portions of
the nth. In several other portions of
that fertile land. however, northern CAPT
talsts do not go. This seems strange to
dwellers there, as their land is equally rich
a the natural advantages offered to
manufacturer are as great as in the local.
ties where capital is going in bulk But 1t
is easily explained. Money and immigration
are going to the sta es where the greatest
effort are being made to protect life and
property. The other states will get their
share rs soon as they deserve it."
The Inquirer deserves TO be encouraged.
If it keeps on, it will get to the point after
awhile where it can tell the whole truth
about the south. 1t will admit that mans
life Is as safe in any part of tho south as it
is in the north. Perhaps it will do this
after the next census is take. At present,
a good many republican organs seem to be
afraid that the south is getting more than
her share of inning ants, and that these i'm
migrants, being counted the census, will
increase the south's representation in con-
gress and in the electoral college.

Every once in a while one or more south
ern jour ais are seizs1 with the idea that
it W uld be an excellent thing f)r southern
far ners to cultivate IA ME AMI jute. They
point out the vast p. fits there ar in these
plants, and comment on the advantages in
sol and climate the south possesse, for pro
ducing them.
4 few days ago a ri tsburg firm inquired
about a ramie patch near Thomasville, and
finding that it c1ntai ed some "a ME, asked
to have the ramie Forwarded TO Pittsburg.
At once there began to appear in the news
rapers articles advocating the cultivation
of ramie
There is no doubt that both ramie and
jute could be cultivated in the south with
great profit, provided there were any way in
which they could be prepa ed for the market
cheaply A half doz N or more machines
have been invented for lis purpose, bat
none Of them have proven successful. In
order to compete with the cheap lsbor of
India, where the jute fiber is prepared for
market by hand, machine that will do tn 4
work Of many mea Is necessary. There are
machines that prepare the fibsr but they
do not do it che ply enough. Until he
necessary machine is provided it is idle to
talk about cultivati jlte or ramie in the
south.

Why They Did Not Vote.

Even in presidential year tho perc ent-
age of qualid d voters in the Ne f gland
states who do not vote is consid ,rable
Last year. for instance, as is shown by the
Massachusetts bureau of labor statistics
% per cent. of the voti population of
Massachusetts remained away from the
polls. The voting pop ilati n Of that state
Is 442, GIG, and the total vote cast for Presi-
dent was 344, AS In Connecticut ~ per
cent, in Maine 81 per cent. in New Hamp-
shire II per cent, in Rhode Isla I'D 45 per
cent, and in Vermont 63 per cent.
Of the voters cast their ballots for
President in 1888. The general average Der
cent. of voters who voted for President last
year in the New England states was 63.
The figures for all of these states except
Massachusetts, are estimated.
II commenting upon these figures re-
publlca ne VS. aper says that the voters in
the New England states who remained
| away If, m tie polls last year did so because
they were confident the states named
would go republican. No doubt this was
the reaso why a great many of them re-
NAMED away. Why, then, should not the
republican ne Nspapers say that the voters
who kept away from the polls in the
southern states in 1888 did so because
they were confident their respective
states would go democratic2 Thousands of
southern democrats did not vote laso year
because they did not think their ties were
needed, and thousands of colored republ-
cans did not vote because III " hal sJ in
tereSt in political matters, but the republi-
can newspapers will not admit that the
failure of the southern states to cast a full
vote was due TO Indifference. 1t suits their
purposes Letter to say that it was due co
intimidation of republican voters The
repu ica newspapers never were very
c reful of facts when they wanted to make

savannah's New Buildings.

When the new buildings il the burned
district are completed, Savannah will be
= prettier city than it was before the big
fire Some handsome ones are already
nearing completion, and it is safe t. say
that none of the lots upon which houses
were bur ed will be allowed to remain
vacant very long. Tho buildings which
viii be erected viii possess. in most in
stances, the advantage of being more
modern than the burned ones were.
and some of them, such as the
Guards armory and the Odd Fellows hall.
will be both larger and handsomer. While
the fire, Immediately after itsoccurred, ap-
peared to be terrible calamity, it will
hardly prove to have been so. If the people
of any city have pluck and capital they
can 500 recove from the effects of dis
astrous fire, and can make their city more
beautiful han it was
1t Is noticeable that a good many old
buildings in this city have been torn down
recently. Upon their sites Jew and modern
buildings are to be erected, and they will
help to give to Savannah a fresher and
brighter appearance. While the city has
| been made to suffer in looks lately, the
change that will take place within the next
six or twelve months will seem almost mar
velous. Savannah will maintain her repu.
tation as the prettest city in the state, il
not in the south
