The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1889-11-29

Those newspapers which were quick to
condemn Senator Hampton for writing a
scatning letter to the Postmaster General
may possibly conclude that they, and not
Senator Hampton, were too quick on the
trigger. 1t will be remembered that the
senator expressed himself freely, because,
as he thought, Mr.. Wanamaker had ap-
pointed Virgil P. Clayton postmaster ut
Columbia, S, c., after having promised him
that he should be consulted about the ap-
pointment, and that Postmaster Gibbes
should not be removed until his term was out
in February next. That there was some
foundation for Senator Hamptons letter is
shown by the fact that Mr. Clayton received
his commission this week, but even if it had
been out of place at the time it was writ
ten, it fits in very well now, for the Post
master General has deliberately broken his
promise. 1t may be true that Mr.. Wan
amaker was irrltatec by Senator Hamp-
toms letter, but that does not excuse his
action, and. as the matter stands, he has
very little, if anything, to be proud of, so
far as it relates to him.

Omcers for a. Big Army.

Gen. Lew Wallace, who was one Of the
board Of visitors at West Point this year,
has plan, which will be submitted TO
congress, for educating enough officers
within very few years for an army of
million men. In brief Gen. Wallace's
plan is TO enlist men for five years, turn
every military post into military school,
the officers at the post being the teachers.
and at the end of four years send four or
five hundred of those who stand in the
front rank, as far as educational
requirements are concerned, to West
Point TO receive the finishing
touches of their education and to have the
rough edges rubbed off their manners. The
others at the military posts would be dis
charged to return to their homes to engage
in civil pursuits. They would carry with
them, Gen. Wallace thinks, the military
spirit, and would have quite an influence
In keeping alive a military feeling in the
country. At any rate they would be pre-
pared to make good citizens, and could
easily be fitted for any business or profession.
From the number sent to West Point all
the vacancies in the second lieutenancies
would be filed, aud if there were more men
than places the surplus could be given
diplomas and permitted to return to civil
life.
1t is evident that Gen. Wallace's scheme
would wholly change the character of West
Point. Instead of having men under its
control four years it would have them only
one. 1t is also probable that the fact that
a man graduated at West Point would
cease to have the influence that it now has.
The social side of the army would receive
quite severe blow.
Gen. Wallace's plan may be discussed by
congress, but there is not much probability
that it will be adopted. The influence of
the army would be against it, and the army
can exert a very considerable influence
where it feels there is a necessity for doing
so. Gen. Wallace, however, will have the
satisfaction of having suggested something
novel. and of having made the report of the
board of visitors rather more interesting
than it usually is.

Promises of the Presidents Party.

Promises of the Presidents Party.
The Presidents white Republican party
il AIabama IS still in existence, i, seems.
Tie report Is current that il purposes 70 ask
cCugress FOR such legs alton ss vail permit
the disfra nchiSeueDt Of the negroes, prom
ising that if its request Is granted it will
insure a republican majority in several Of
the southern states. This lev party Of the
Presidents is such q TidiculOusly little
affair that there IS a suspicion that this
report was started as a joke. 1t may not
be a Joke, however, and It IS quite certain
that il the republican leaders thought they
could get control Of several Of the southern
states by disfraDchisipg the negroes they
would not hesitate about advising their
disfranchisement
The Republican party don't care about
helping the negro. What it seeks 70 do is
70 keep Itself in power If it could do that
by sacrificing the negro it would not hesi-
tate TO do So The formation of a white
Republican party in Alabama with the
sanction Of the administration shows that
this is true.
The history of the Republican party
leaves no doubt that in its later years it has
never hesitated to abandon principle TO &C
quire power. 1t falsifed the election returns
in 1876 tc elect its presidential candidate,
and now, in Montana, it is trying to steal
two United States senators.
It has attempted to get the full benefit Of
the negro vote by pretending that it fought
the war, and did it wholly to secure the
freedom Of the negro vote. AS matter of
fact. it did not favor the emancipation of
the negroes at the beginning of the war,
and never did favor it until it became con
WINGED that emancipation was a military
necessity.
Being unable to get any benefit from the
negro vote it is ready to abandon the negroes.
II the Presidents white Republican party of
Alabama could show that it could do what,
it is alleged, it has promised, it is probable
that the Republican party would favor the
dlsfranchisement Of the negro at once.

An Episode of Teeth.
From the Boston Co1lrier.

FROM me Boston Courier.
II was about 2o'clock of a chill morning when
Mr.. Y. presented himself t the door of a doc.
tor il the village of W., and after a series of
laundering knocks at the door with a good deal
of vigorous exercise upon the bell handle sue
Ceeded in bringing that gentleman to the win
dow overhead.
What is it ~ asked the doctor.
do you pull teeth" Mr. \. demanded.
Yes when have to- was the reply.
Then want a tooth pulled"
"All right. Come back in the morning and
I'll take 1t out for you"
Come back in the morningr' calculated Mr..
Y. what do you take me for? Here I've
been in torment for these two days and for the
last two hours I've been hunting all over this
COMPOUNDED town after Dentist and now I'd
like to have the Job done at once if there is any
way to fix it."
The dentist at first demurred, but at last he
consented to come down and get the tooth ont
at once; and after due interval in which he
made his hasty toilet, MIR. Y. was admitted to
the house. The chill Of the night was every-
where, but Y. was too intent upon getting rid
of the troublesome moiar to mind that, and ne
was duly installed in the operating chair and an
examination made.
Hold on, there X. said, as the dentist. hav-
ing satisfied himself which was the troublesome
tooth, took up his forceps and prepared for
work i want to take gas. This tooth has
given me about all the pain can stand from it, -
Well" the dentist answered. the gas is a
little low, but if you insist l will give you what
there is. 1t will deaden the pain, though very
likely you will feel 1t some"
The conventional breathing-tub of black
rubber produced, and Y. proceeded to in
hale for dear life. For moment the dentist
allowed him to pump his lungs full from the
gas reservoir, and then, taking the breathing
tube away he quickly whipped in his forceps
and whipped out the tooth.
Il did feel it some y. observed, when he was
able to get his mouth in a condition which al
lowed him to speak.
Did you?" the dentist asked, sympa-
thetlcally. Not much, hope"
Not SO very MUCH" X. replied. "Still,
knew when it came
When, moment later, Y. prepared to pay
his bill, and asked the price, he was surprised
to be told a sum which was so small that it
seemed that mistake must have been made
But is that all you ask for administering
gasp he asked.
20, bless YOU was the smiling answer.
there wasn't any gas there / only let you
breathe into the tube a little to satisfy your
Imagination"
X. did not at first know whether to be vexed
or amused, but wisely concluding that the
latter vas the better policy, be wended his way
home chucklng, and got himself to bed as the
first streaks Of the coming dawn began to show
in the sky.

The rumor that the German gunmaker.
Krupp, will establish branch of his estab-

The Baltimore Sun says: Notwithstanding
Mr.. KrupD's denial, it is stated ON good
authority that he will do Just what the
rumor says he will, and that sites in the
mining regions Of Pennsylvania and Vir-
ginia have been inspected Herr Krupp is
anxious to establish an American gun
foundry so as to be safe from the dangers
of European war. He fears that in case
of an invasion of Germany one of the OBJ
jectiye points of the hostile army would be
his gun foundry, and that it would be wiped
out of existence rs completely as fire and
dynamite could do it. With foundry in
the United States he would run no such risk,
and would have an abundance of ra W ma
terial easily accessible"

Sway to and fro in the twilight gray,
This is the ferry for ShadOwtown;
1t always sails at the end Of day
Just as the darkness is closing down.
Rest, little head, on my shoulder, so,
sleepy kiss is the only fare;
Drifting away from the world we go,
Baby and in rocking chair.
See where the fire-logs glow and spark,
Glitter the lights of Shadowland;
The pelting rains on the window, bark!
Are ripples tapping upon its strand.
There where the mirror is CHANGING dim,
A lake with its shimmerng cool and still;
Blossoms are waving above its brim,
Those over there on the window sill.
Rock slow, more slow, in the dusky light,
Silently lower the anchor down.

New York Ne wspapers Criticised

NoW 1OTk NC WSpaperS Cr1ClC1S9d.
Mr. H. N. Powers, of New York, criticises
the New York newspapers for failing often
to give prominence to matters of real i'm
portance, while they devote great deal of
space to a barroom brawl or minor social
event. AS an illustration of what he
means, he cites, in a letter to the New York
Ecening Post, the following incident: SIN
the spring of 1SS7-more than two years
and SIX months ago-there was printed in
the EUeriIlg FoSt an ex tract from a letter
of Mr.. Philip Gilbert Hamerton to myself
concerning a wonderful discovery of Comte
de Chardonnet, of Gerry on the Saone. and
his method Of producing silk without the
silk worm. I then supposed that the an
nouncement of such piece OF news would
excite a lively scientific and industrial in
terest, especially in certain intelligent
quarters, but the account was not repub-
hshed, so far as l know, in any of the great
journals of the metropolis. To day the
newspapers are not slack in describing the
marvellous discovery and its Importance.
There may be two explanations of the
failure of the great metropolitan newspa-
pers to notice Mr.. Powers letter. One Is
that they thought the story of the discov-
cry of a way to produce silk without silk
worms was hoax. The other is that the
EUening Post is not read by the editors of
the other New York newspapers.
