Feninore Cooper, in his stories of hair
breadth escapes from Indians, never hit upon a
more extraordinary device for Gliding pursuit
than on one which was related to President Car
not during recent tour in Corsica, says the
Chicago AeTS A French traveller, so the story
went, ventured some years 10 to pass through
mountainous distrcJot Corsica without escort
or any means of protection, and in crossing a
particularly rough and craggy region found
himself pursued by band OF brigands.
AS the traveller had soma money on his per
son. and feared that, besides being robbed, he
would be held III Captivity for ransom, even If
he were not put to death, he took to flight

bled upon the Dor ler of lake in the mountains.
There was no path around it; 1t was impossible
to swim across, and the brigands were behind
him, though he was hidden from them as yet by
the rocks.
Whatever he did must be done in an instant
Necessity quickened his wits; he saw at once
way out of the difficulty and awaited himself
of il.
He hastily cut WITH his knife one of the long,
hollow reeds that grew on the shore of the lake.
Then he stopped up his ears and nOStrs with
wet clay from the margin, took the reed in his
mouth and waded out INTO deep water, where
he remained submerged, with upturned face,
just allowing the upper end of the reed to pro-
ject above the surface.
On came the brigands, following the travel.
er S tracks to the waters edge. But what had
become of him? Had he flown across! Ger
tainly he could not have swum. There was no
other way of escape. and the surface had by
this time stilled to perfect calm,
The brigands remained waiting on the shore
for some time, but no 81 N of the traveller ap-
peared. They concluded at last that he was
sorcerer, who had caused himself to vanish into
thin air.
Then they disappeared, and the Frenchman,
who had been under water this time breath
ing through his tube, came out. He managed
to keep under cover and make his way TO Ajac-
clio; and there he declared that he had been
under water four hours.
1t is pos sible that his distress and alarm NAV
have cause1 this period to appear many times
longer tuan it really was; but, In confirmation
of the main part of his story, the Frenchman

Senator Butler as a Peaoemaker.


Senator Butler of South Carolina, it seems,
has been playing the part of peacemaker in
the politics of his state and according TO
reports, very successfully. He was at the
conference of the stralghtout democrats the
other day, and, it is said, advised them to
do the best they could to control the Septem-
Der convention, aud, if they failed, abide
by the action Of the convention, whatever it
might be, so long as it was in accordance
with democratic principles That was good
advice. The straigbtouts could not accom-
plish anything by Withdrawing from the
convention. The Tillmauites are largely in
the majority, and could elect their ticket
without the assistance of the straightouts
There is no doubt that the Tillmanites
will control the convention, and they will
dictate the ticket. Tillman will be nomi-
mated for governor, and a Tillman adher-
ent will be nominated for every other state
Office. Not only will Tillman's adherents
be elected to the state offices. but the
majority of the legislature will be followers
Of Tillman. They will all be democrats,
however, and for that reason the straight
outs viii have TO submit to their defeat
with as good grace as possible.
The straightouts have no satisfactory
reason for nominating ticket of their own.
There are no such radical differences between
them and the Tlllmanites as would justify
them in taking such action. The only thing
they can do is to wait for a change in pub
lie sentiment. One session of the legislature
may convince the people that they have
gained nothing by changing leaders. If it
doesn't the straightouts may be led to think
whether, after all, there was not some little
ground for the dissatisfaction Of the people.
Anyway, nothing is to be gained by split
ting the party. The best interests of South
Carolina require that the white people of
the state shall stand together

THE TRADE REVIEW.

For years, on the opening of each sue
ceeding season, there has been presented
evidence of large increase in Savannahs
business. Heretofore this increase has been
due to the natural growth of Savannah's
tributary territory, a better understanding
of her commercial advantages, and the
gradual enlargement Of her two great rail-
road systems. These things will continue to
contribute TO her growth and prosperity,
and, in addition to them, there are others,
which have recently come into existence.
that will make the business year of 1s9O-91
more notable than any preceding one in her
history.
Since the last trade review of the MORN
ING NEWS there have been built three new
and important railroads TO Savannah, or to
connect with her railroad systems. They
are the Alabama Midland, the Savannah
and Western, and the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery. These railroads have
already brought hundreds of buyers TO
Savannah and increased her trade greatly.
But the number of buyers and the amount
contribute to her markets when the crops
now in the fields tributary to them are
harvested will be many times larger. The
people will have money then and they will
seek Savannah to supply their wants.
The advanced condition of the cotton crop
justifies the opinion that the business season
will open early and with great activity.
The people are already thinking, probably,
of what they will buy with the fruits Of
their labor. They are scanning the columns
of the MORNING NEWS 10 SEQ who are the
live and progressive business men of Savan-
nah and what they are offering for sale.
There is large and lucrative trade to be
secured from the territory which the new
railroads have made tributary to Savan-
nah, as well as from the territory which has
heretofore been tributary to her. If our
merchants are wise they will not neglect the
only proper method of getting this trade.
That method is liberal advertising.
The MORNING News proposes to make a
special effort to reach every buyer in the
new field that has been opened by Savan-
nah's enterprise The agents of the MORN
ING News are travelling through the coun-
try, and the people are taking the paper
just as rapidly as the mail facilities which
are being established permit them to.
1t is proposed to send a copy of the trade
review to each subscriber to the WEEKLY
NEWS, as we'll as to each subscriber to the
daily, thus giving advertisers the benefit of
both editions at little more than the usual
price of one.
An advertisement in a newspaper is an in
vitation to buyers to call 1t virtually says,
when you are in town please call on US
We have all these things TO show you"
The annual review will contain the usual
resume of the business of the city for the
last year. 1t will be sent to thousands Of
people who are interested in Savannah's
welfare and prosperity.
The Trade Review edition will be issued
Sept 5. Space in its columns can be OBJ
tanned upon application to the business
office

Manners of Renuhlioans.

1t is clear that the republican majority
of the House does not intend to censure the
three republican members whose indecent
language and rowdy conduct created such
a disturbance in that body last Wednesday.
The country will not fail to remember that
when Repre- sentative Bynum of Indiana, a
democrat, made remarks, month or SO
ago, which were considered unparlia-
mentary, he was brought to the bar of the
House and censured by the speaker. The
republicans characterized his remarks as a
specimen of democratic manners"
Mr.. Bynum's offense. however, was very
mild one in comparison with the offenses
committed by the three republican mem
bers. 1t seems, however, that these speci-
mems of republican manners" are not to
be officially noticed. Why's Is it the policy
of the republican majority to overlook
grave oftenses of republicans and punish
offenses Of democrats, however slight they
may be9 1t certainly looks so. And will
the peopls sustain a party guilty of such
injustice!
The three members who so grossly abused
their privileges in the House last Wednes-
day should be expelled. Public sentiment
would sustain their expulsion. They showed
themselves to be unfit TO associate with gen.
tlemen. 1t is said that a distinguished
southern democrat refused to shake hands
with one of them on the day after the dis
graceful episode. And yet these three men
are in no danger of being censured, much
less of being expelled. And this is republi-
can JUSTICE How long will the north con-
tinue to sustain party which has so little
regard for decency and iustice2

With the aid of the republican supreme
court of Maine, Speaker Reed has secured
the disfranc hisement of 514 voters in one
tow in his district on the pretense that
their naturalization was not legal. This is
pretty low work for men in high position,
and it shows the absolute emptiness and dis
honesty of the republican claim of friend
illness to adopted citizens.

Extra Session Talk.

Those republican senat rs and representa-
] tives who have been 50 active In behalf OF
the force bill. and VINO have taken their
failure to get the Senate to consider the bill
at this session 50 much % heart, are now
insisting that the President shal! call an
extra session OF congress Immediately after
tie elections in November for the purpose
of passing the bill Il IS far from probable
tina. they viii be able 70 get the
President to do that The ma
jority Of the republican congressman
do not want an extra session. From
present indications the present session will
last until Oct. l. aud perhaps longer. 1t
would be difficult TO get congressman to
return 70 Washington before the beginning
of the regular session in December, unless
an emergency should arise which would de-
mand their presence there. Very few Of
the republicans would regard the force
bill as a suficisnt excuse for an extra ses-
sion Indeed, II Is highly probable that
the most of them look upon that bill as
permanently laid on the shelf. II they do
not now the chances ara that they will after
they know the result Of the fall elections.
1t Is said that those republicans who are
the most anxious Tor force bill legislation
asked the President TO call an extra SEES
sion last summer for the purpose of
snacting legislation of that kind, but that
be was too timd to do so. In requesting him
to call an extra session they have in view
the placing Of the responsibility of the fall
ure of the force bill upon him # he refuses to
comply with their request 1t is difficult to
see in what respect the Republican party will
be benefited by pursuing that course
Nobody cares particularly who is responsib bic
for the failure of the bill. It is true that its
failure grieves some of the rabid radicals,
but the thing that causes them to greve
causes the people to rejoice.
1t is very we'll understood that there is no
public sentiment anywhere in favor of the
bill In most of the republican conven-
tons that have thus far been held this year
nothing has been said in support of it, and
it is known that the business men OF the
north are solidly againstit
Tho force bill republicans take their de-
feat very hard, and it is only natural that
they should try to make it appear that they
are not yet defeated. Their talk
about an extra session. however, and their
prediction that the bill will be passed before
many months, only excite amusement.
They will gradually cease to make predic-
tions, and before the present session is
ended no force bill talk will be heard. They
know, as about all others know, that
the force bill is dead beyond resurrection.
