prenare for the Celebration.

The suggestion made by the MORNING
NEWS few weeks ago, relative to cele-
brating in this city the completion Of the
railroad which connects Savannah with
Birmingham and Kansas City, should not
| be forgotten The busy season will soon be
over, and our lusiness men will have time
to give attention to this matter.
Thirty years ago the completion of the
Memphis and Charleston railroad was cele-
brated on q grand scale in this city. Hogs
heads of water from the Missis-
sippi river were brought here by the
Memphis excursionists, and the waters of
the Mississippi and the Savannah flowed
together TO the sea.
1t vas supposed that the effect of the
Memphis and Charles on railroad would be
to divert much Of the trade of the Missis-
sippi valley, which passed through New
Orleans, to Savannah and Charleston, be-
cause the distance to Savannah or
c arleston was less than TO New
Orleans. The new route, however, had
not been given a fair trial, and the
people within the territory tributary
to it had not fully realized its Importance
Wiibll tIb wal VI SeCbSSlOIl DcRdDs anu Jlb
Memphis and Charleston railroad passed
into the hands Of those u no had no sym
pathy with the movement to turn trade in
this direction. Instead of beneflting the
people whose money bad built it the road
was used to injurs them.
1t b gins to look, however, as il the pur
pose for which the road was originally
built was abou. to be accomplished The
road is now the connecting link between the
railroad systems Of the lower Mississippi
valley and the South Atlantic coast. 1t is
more than that; it is the connecting
link between the South Atlantic
coast and the great northwest,
and it will, in all probability,
become far greater factor in the COM
merce of the country than its originators
intended, or even thought possible. When
the road was built the south thought of
little else than cotton. Since then the great
north west has become rich, populous and
prosperous and has trade many times
greater than that which the Memphis and
Charleston railroad was then expected to
control.
The railroad combinations which have
been lately made by Messrs Ilm N and
Gould, have for their object tn control Of
the trade Of a portion of the northwest as
we'll as Of the southwest, and Of making
Savannah the ssaboard outlet Of this trada.
The rail route from Savannah to Kansas
City was opened some time ago. With It's
numerous branches it controls the trade of
an immense section Of country, and, be-
sides, 1t now has the benefit Of a con-
nection with Gould's Southwest ern
system of railroads which acts in
harmony with it, 1t is probable,
therefore, that in the near future Savan-
nah's wharves will present as busy scene
throug bout their whole extent as a portion
of them now does. If Mr. Inman aud Mr..
Gould, by the union II their railroad inter
ests in the south and southwest, NEE pub
lie expectation not only Savannah, but the
whole region of country tributary 10 the
roads controlled by them will show marvel
GUS progress within the next few years.

Cardinal Manning has expressed his opin.
ion concerning Sunday newspapers in this
country. He thinks they are harmful, and
that one Of their results is the increase OF
divorces. He SAYS: II fear that in America
freedom of divorce has done much to break
up domestic life, and it certainly requires
but slight observation to see that in the OBJ
servance Of Sunday you have already
drifted far, far away from the usage of
your forefathers. Yes, i fear America,
morally, is going to seed and her Sunday
newspapers must have had something to do
with it, If the cardinal would only say a
word in favor of uniform and stricter
divorce laws, he might accompli.h some

meat of Sunday newspapers, and it is
doubtful If his structures on them are war
ranted by the facts

are enabled to show such striking results and

THURSDAY .::::::::::::::IiARCH IL, 1889.

The possibilities of this country
are as romantic as a fairy tale. In q
little more than hundred years it
has grown from thirteen States to
Sorty-two, with six Territories to be-
come Statea. The three million have
increased TO about 100000. What
will another century add to the terri
torial domain and the millions of citi-
xens of this Government? The man
ifest destiny of the countryside logic
of events-the vitalization of the
Monroe doctrine, point to the acqui-
sition Of Canada on the North and
Mexico on the South. We may not
live to see the annexation of Canada
and Mexico, Cuba and the West In
dies, but as certain as we now exist,
those who come after us will witness
the acquisition of these countries and
their formation into States of the
American Union. The mission of the
United States is to elevate man to
his highest estate, and to give him
the greatest liberty regulated by law.
The benifcent example of this Re-
public extends even beyond the
American continent. It's beacon
lights of liberty shine upon all lands,
and the hearts of the oppressed of
all nations are made glad because
this Government lives to give them
an asylum and home where they
and their children can expand to the
stature and dignity of freemen, ow-
ing no allegiance to Emperors and
Kings but to their God and the Re-
public.
