A Chance for Mr.. wanamaker.

| Postmaster General Wanamaker is a pro-
hibtionist, and is an earnest advocate of
the prohibition amendment to the constitu-
ton of Pennsylvania. In an address to his
Sunday school in Philadelphia last Sunday
he advanced some pretty strong arguments
in favor of the amendment. 1t was sug-
gested by some one that prohibition does not
| prohibit, to which Mr. Wanamaker
answered that the law against stealing does
not prevent stealing, and yet no one would
advocate the repeal Of the law against steal
ing.
Mr.. Wanamaker is, and has been for
many years a republican of the strictest
kind 1t is doubtful if he ever voted any
other than a republican ticket, but there is
ground for thinking that it would not take
great deal to make him an active member
of the Prohibition party.
Is it not probable that he will be the next
presidential candidate of that party! If he
makes good Postmaster General he will be
quite popular at the close of his present
term of office, and besides, he will have
much wider acquaintance with the politi-
clans of he country than he has now. If ne
exercises little care and judgment he can
put prohibitionists into the fourth-class
postoffices all over the country, and in that
way build up following in every state.
or course if he had any prospect of
further advancement as a republican, he
would not think of deserving that party,
and it may be that he will never have any
intention Of DESERVING it, but If he is so
deeply interested in the success of the pro-
hibition cause as he seems to be, and the
Republican party refuses to champion that
cause, as it always has, and probably
always will, what would be more natural
than that he should unite his political for
tunes with those of the Prohibition party?
He believes in the use of money in elections,
and he has plenty of it to use.
Everything seems to be in favor Of his
becoming the prohibition leader. Besides
his wealth and his political influence he has
a strong hold on Young Mems Christian
Associations and upon religious denomina-
lions. he would certainly be big help to
the prohibition party, and if that party is
at all shrewd it will begin laying plans to
capture him for its leader in the next ma
tional campaign.

Under the Daisies.
I've Just been learning a lesson in life,

I've just been learning lesson in life,
The sad, sad lesson of loving,
And all of its powers for pleasure or pain
Been slowly and sadly proving;
And all that is left of a bright, bright dream
With its thousand brilliant phases,
Is handful of dust in a coffin hid
A coffin hid under the daisies.
The beautiful, beautiful daisies!
The snowy, snowy daisies!
And thus forever throughout the wide world,
Is love a sorrow proving.
There are still many s1rrOWful things in life,
But the saddest of all is loving;
The life of some is worse than death,
For fate a high wall oft raises.
And far better than liz with two hearts es-
tranged
Is lone srave starred with daisies.
The beautiful, beautiful daisies.
The snowy, snowy daisies.
And so It's better we lived as we did
summer OF love together,
And that one of US, tire /, lay down to rest
Ere the coming of wintry weather.
For the saddsst of love is love grown cold,
And tbs one of its surest phases;
SO bless my lot, though with breaking heart
For that grave enstarred with daisies
Toe beautiful, beautiful daisies!
Tue snowy, snowy daisies,

Savannah Under Examination.

The commissioners will begin to-day tt
/ examine Savannah's advantages for the
navy yard No doubt they will be sur
prised that they are so great. In a commu
| nication in another column some of them
are pointed out, but there are other and
more important ones as the commissioners
will discover before they have completed
their investigation.
All that Savannah requests is a careful
inquiry into the merits of her claim, and a
frank and exhaustive comparison Of them
with those OF the claims of other places.
There is no doubt that her request viii be
fully complied with, ana that if the CON-
missioners do not report in her favor IL will
be because they are convinced that some
other place has superior advantages.
The impression which the commissioners
will get Of Savannah will depend, to a
great extent, upon the manner in which the
arguments in her behalf are presented. 1t
should be first learned what the commits
sioners want to know, and then every effort
should be made to furnish them with the
desired information in a brief and intelli-
gent shape.
The commerce Of the port, the growth Of
the city, and other statistics of a kindred
chara cter, are interesting, and have bear
ing upon the issue, but they are not exactly
what the commissioners desire They will
indicate the kind Of facts they are seeking,
aud it is to be hoped that the mayor will
have at hand the men who can furnish them
promptly.
That Savannah has some advantages,
which are very great ones, as a site for
navy yard, that no other South Atlantic and
no Gulf port possesses, there isn't doubt.
Can these advantages be got before the
commissioners in the right shape3 If they
cannot, then Savannah deserves to lose her
chance Of getting the navy yard.

Not so Stupid as He Seemed.
From the London Teleoronh


The other day. as one of the northern trains
stopped at the ticket station outside the Lon
don terminus, there was slight commotion
caused by the seeming forgetfulness of one of
the passengers, VINO delayed the guard for some
Tune in vain search amongst his pockets for
his ticket. The guard became, not unnaturally,
impatient, and exhorted the passenger to make
haste, but the latter, in silence, continued the
search At asst one Of the other passengers
said wrathfuly:
You stupid fellow, why don't you give the
man the ticket and not keep us all waiting
You have got it in your mouth"
With profuse apologies for his stupidity, the
passenger took the paper from his lips and
handed it to the guard, who snatched it away
angrily and made his exit AS the train moved
on the passenger remarked to his fellow in an
off hand way:
Sorry to delay you, but the ticket was an
old one, and was getting rid of the date"

The Railroad Movement.

Savannah is pretty thoroughly stirred up
on the railroad question. There were two
enthusiastic railroad meetings yesterday,
and at each of them there was manifested
a strong, earnest and harmonious feeling
in favor Of providing the city with more
railroads. Those who have been the most
active in behalf of the South Bound road
and the Savannah, Americas and Mont
gomery road, feel more encouraged by the
enthusiasm manifested yesterday than at
any time since the movement in favor of
these roads began.
The truth is that Savannah is waking up
to her own interests, and to realizing her i'm
portance aud strength. She is beginning
to understand that she has great future if
she will only make the most Of her oppor-
tunities. She is much better able to build
railroads than any other city in Georgia
She is beginning to show the spirit that
means progress of the most pronounced
kind.
