Trustees for the University.

The new law providing for the appoint
ruent of trustees f>r the state university
fixes the number of such tru tees at eigh-
teen, OF this number the governor is
authorized to appoint sixteen. They are to
be distributed throughout the state as fol
lows: OAe from eacl OF the ten congress
sionai districts, four from the state at large
and two from the city of Athens The
governor and the chairman of the board of
dire 'tors Of the chronological school are ex-
cfticiJ m 9mbers. The new board is required
to meet in Athens on the third Wednesday
in September and organize.
1t is apparent thaJ this law imposes a
heavy responsibility upon the governor.
1t will not be a difficult task to find men
who are willing to serve as trustees, but it
will be dificIlt to get such trustees as the
best interests of the university require.
1t is evident that if stro *, popular, pro-
gressive and clear-headed men, who are
thoroughly awake to the needs of the
university, and are in hearty sgmp 4thy
with its mission, are chosen trustees they
can do a great deal toward building it up.
They will draw to its support the best sentl-
HouJ VI tue SUale, anu VIII AWAKEN IN It's
benalf the int rest of those from whom it
has right to expect pecunary assist
aace. AS long as the university depends
wholly, or almo wholly, upon the state
a:d the students for support, it will not be-
come such an institution as Georgians
would Ike to have 1t, 1t must receive nelp
from Georgias ricl men. Harvard, Y de
and Pri CetOn yOuld NOT now ha the ma r,
nticent institutions they are if it were not
for the donations which tney frequently re-
ceiye.
The governor understands all this, how
ever. and can be depended upon to make
up the board of trustees from among the
men who give the greatest promise of bel x
abe TO advance the interests of the univer-
sitY.

The State Road Lease Bill.

No doubt those members Of the Legislature
who are TRYING TO incorporate into tie state
road lease bill the principle Of the Olive bill
are sincere, but their hostility to railroa
monopoly seems to make them blind to the
fact that the legislation they propose NAV
prove harmful rather than Deneic al to the
state. Indeed. it is by no means
certain that if the lease bill should
prohibit any sale or transfer OF
shares in the lease that would tend II le sen
competition and enc urage mono poly tn
object aimsd at would be accomplished.
1t would not be an easy matter 70 bc2te
the ownership of the shares, nor would 1t
be always possible 20 show that any sale or
transfer that might be made Of them was
for the purpose of lesssning competition or
promoting mo lopoly.
If the proposed restriction were placed IN
the lease bill the lease might not b. near 50
desirable as it would be wi bout it. In
that case the conte for the lease would
not BE- very spirited, and the state probably
would have 10 acc p- a much lie price for
the lease. Indeed, Representative Gordon,
who has shown himself to be very clear
heade in the discuss on of questions grow
ing out of the lease bill, SAID that il the bill
contained the restriction proposed, body
W uld care either to lease or GUY tle road.
The amendment containing the restric-
tiOn was defeated, but doubtless it viii

bill Is fiaally PASS 3D. 1t b'gia' 10 Look,
however, as if there wero enough good busi-
ness men in the legslatu @ to prevent the
Introduction into the bill Of any provision
that would tend TO limit the bidding for the
lease The lease ought to be open t. any aud
ali bidders, and the DIVERS Of shares III the
lease ought to be as free to dispose Of them
as Of any other kind of property. If the
legislature once begins the pl icing OF re-
strictions upon the sale of proper V, there S
o telling where it will stop. Legislation Of
that sors is TO be regarded vita anXie,y, to
say the least of it,
1t is very clear that the sentiment in
favor of selling the state road is increasing.
Since the disc lssion Of the lease b Il began
the people all over the state have been de-
ating the question whether it would not
be better for the state to get rid of the road
altogether if it could DO so on favorable
terms. They are beginning to see the
strength of tae objections to "A s ate owning
a railroad, and there is some ground for
thinking that if a chance to express their
opinion we're offered them a majority
would favor selling the property. The
lease bill should cert inly invite bids for
the sale as well as the lease Of the road.

viii Sullivan 60 to Jailp

A great many people are asking them
selves, "Will SllIvaa 90 to jail" and
probably large majority of them ara in

a judge ike Judge Terrell, VINO was ben
upon vindicating the laws of his state, the
slugger stood little show of escaping con-
vi'tion, but shire Ed attorneys can s)me-
times keep their clients out of Jail even
after sentence has been passed. In all
likelihood that is what they will do in Sui
hvan's ca G.
The suspensive appeal taken by Sullivan's
alto neys Is returnable to tho supreme
court of Mississippi o the t ird Mo .dag in
February next and Sullivan is out on 81 900
bail-bond. He VI fifteen or twenty times

payment of the 1900 If he thinks that
his pr spects of remaining out of jail are

cides agai ST MIN, he will take his IN sdictne

Jail.
Our dispatches announced the other day
that Sulliva a I'd Kilrain would probably
form a combination ard give ath etic exhi-
billions in differ Mt cities. The trial and
conviction of Sullivan will help him very
greatly, in a pecu .iary sense, if such a tour
is made, and the conviction of Kilrain
would ada considerably to the value of the
advertisement, The comb ation would
make enough money to render the idea of
long visit u Europe quite attractive.
Whether Sullivan goes to Jail or not,
however, his conviction will have a good
effect In future, pugiists will be more
careful not to engage in prize fights in
violati II of the law. For this the people
have to thank Gov. Lowry and Judge
Terrell, who were determined that the
laws of their state should not be violated
with impunity.

The Morning News Annual Trade Review
a Few Pointers In Relation Thereto.

The MORNING News Annual Trade Re.
view, containing complete and compre-
bensive statement of the business of Savan-
nah, viii be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept l, 1899, will be a
memorable one the history Of Savannah,
and the MORNING NEWS proposes tn 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 10 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 confidence
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" IN 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 will contain articles
showing the bu mess of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise 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 a pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business mea an oppo tun-
ity of saying something about their business
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size as
we'll 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 handed in at the business
office, or, if desired, they will be called for
by the canvassers.

The Washington FoSt and the New York
Tribune think that Mr.. George W. Cable
put the matter in a new light when he said
the other day that the question was not
whether the negro should rule, but W ether
he should choose rulers. The New York
World reminds them that we do not cho )se
rulers in this country-we choose men to
act as public servants. The republican
Presiden have ignored the colored people
to such an extent in the bestowne 1t of
offices that most Of the latter have lost in
terest in their right to help choose public
servants

Capt. William A Piukerton the head of
the Pinkerton detective agency at icago,
has concluded that Tascott had one or two
accomphces In the murder of Millionaire
Smell. He says that a reward was offered
for Tascott'S arrest AMI detention, and not
for his conviction, because it was expected
that if he were captured he would turn
states evidence. He says also that Smell re-
ceived two bullet wounds, ono from a IS
and the other from AZ caliber pistol. Tas-
colt once served a year in the kentucky
penitenuiary for stealing railroad tickets,
and Mr. Pinke toms theory is that he was
Joined in Chicago by some of his compan-
IONS in the penitentiary, when their terms
had expired, and that the plan to burglarize
Smells house was planned by them. 1t
seems, however, that Mr.. Pinkerton will
have to capture Tascott before he can prove
the correctness Of his theory

the republican organs pitch into him with

Gen. RoSs4r is a man who can do much
better work for the country by keeping his
