A Strange Want of Appreciation

There are some people in Charleston who
do not appreciate the efforts of Savannah
to give a portion of the people of South
Carolina much needed railroad facilities.
The building Of the South Bound, the line
OF which runs pretty nearly through the
center of that state from the Savannah
river to the North Carolina line, has awak-
ened Charleston from her slumber Some
OF the Charlestonians are disposed to be a
little cross at having the quiet of their city
disturbed by the building of the South
Bound, and have said some unkind things
about that road and its construction COM
pany. One of the things they have said is
that it is a speculative scheme, and another
is that it is doubtful if it will be built.
OF course they are excusable to a certain
extent for being vexed, because the South
Bound will not only help Savannah won
derfully, but will have rather damaging
effect upon South Carolina system of rail-
roads. They are mistaken, however. in
encouraging the idea that the road will not
be built. The fact is, tie road is being con-
structed with all possible speed The con-
tractors are pushing it forward as fast as
they can, aud the only thing that is COM
planned of is that they don't push it along
faster. The iron drawbridge, which is to
span the Savannah river, is being built,
and although work upon it has been delayed
a little, it will be completed in good time.
1t can be stated pretty positively that the
South Bound will be completed before the
end of next year, and when it is completed
it will be about the best railroad in the
south, and Its equipment will be unsur-
passed by that of any other southern rail-
road
There is plenty of business for the several
sea ports on the South Atlantic coast, the
greatest Of which is Savannah, aud the
next, of course, Is our sister city of Charles
ton.

The Republican party began to think it

1t attempted TO enact partisan legislation in
order TO intrench itself in power by the help
Of the ignorant millions of blacks whom it
proposed to drive to the polls to vote the
republican ticket, and this sort of legis-
lation public sentiment would not
sustain because it was unjust, and because
it would have injured the business interests
of the country. 1t wasted hundreds of
millions of dollars Of the peoples money in

people. 1t ought to know what the people
need. 1t does know, and if it uses its VIC
tory in wise and conservative way in
meeting the peoples needs it will be given
not only the control of the government, but
also long lease Of power.

Another Republican Schema


The Philadelphia Press, the lending re
/ publican organ of Pennsylvania, having
/ recovered to some extent from the effects
Of the defeat which its party sustained at
the recent elections. com IS to the front IN a
double loaded article in behalf Of another
scheme for keeping its party IN power
The scheme is tina: congress shall fix the
limits Of the congressional districts Il
seems 70 think that the present congress has
enough smart men 10 its ranks T. so gerry :
mander the states that the Republican party.
even with the odds against it, will be able
TO elect not only majority Of the congress
men in 1892, but also a majority Of the
presidential electors.
1t insists, with all its vigor. that con-
grsss, as soon as it reassembles, shall pass
an apportionment bill, and, as i: suggests.
redistrict the states. It says that the new
census shows that the northern states
gated much greater percentage in popula-
ton than the southern ones in the
last decade, and that, therefore.
the gain in congressman and
electors will be almost wholly in the north.
II does not hirt, of course. that there is a
suspicion 10 the public mind that the cen
sus returns were so manipulated by Mr..
Porter, the census superintendent, as 70
make it appear that the gain in population
was far greater in the northern than 10 the
southern states, with the view Of benefit
ing the Republican party. II is propable
that democrats in congress will have great
deal to say about Mr.. Porter's census
haf0ra n hill f=r .ou-aI e
refusal to order recount 10 New York city,
although it has been quite satisfactorily
shown that there are about 10000 more
people in that city than were returned by
the federal census enumeratOrs, has raised
the question whether his census is at all re-
liable.
The Press anxiety that an apportionment
bill shall lie passed at the earliest possible
moment, and its suggestion that the present
congress shall designate the limit of the
congressional districts, thus deprivng the
states Of a right they have always exercised.
are sufficient to justify the suspicion that the
census is partisan one, and was purposely
made to show results advantageous to the
Republican party
The suggestion that congress shall do the
districting will not meet with very
general favor from the people.
The encroachments of the national govern
ment upon the rights Of the states have left
70 the states out little of the power they
oncs enjoyed. and they will not willingly
relinquish their right TO define the congress
sional district linss within their respective
limits. And it is far from certain that
congress has the constitutional right to
determine these lines, notwithstanding the
assertion Of the Press that it has The Re-
publican party, however. never did have
any respect for the constitution. and unless
The democratic minority in congress can
prevent it, this congress, ia all probability,
will adopt the Press suggestion.

An exhibition run of the ''carette," di-
minutive street car without track, which
has been in use in Chicago for several weeks,
was given in Philadelphia the other after
noon. This little 'carette" is light and easy
in motion. and no iolting or discomfort was
felt in riding in 1T along the part cobble>
stone paving of the street. 1t cannot run
on the ordinary street car track, the dis
tance between the wheels being greater
than the car track width. 1t avoids delays
and blockades. and stops at the curb to re-
ceive or discharge passengers. 1t seats
twenty persons, is drawn by two horses aud

be very popular in Chicago among the

prove rather convenient for the streets of

A soldiers Idea of Fun.

We have heard different versions of what
constituted fun, but we heard new one the
other day from an old soldier, says the West
Chester PA y Record
At Gettysburg, about the time of Pickett's
charge, the relaUor was stationed down toward
the edge OF the wheat field and ne was sent out
In charge OF squad to relieve the picket in a
copSe OF woods.
Meeting the sergeant he was about to relieve
ne asked him what his orders were. He was
were not to fire.
Why, said the relieving sergeant, they are
nrlng right now Why don't you stop them:''
on, well, they are just having little fun in
there. The confederates have got possession OF
stretch of stone wall and our boys swear they
are going TO take 1t away from them"
Our informant went in and soon he and his
men were as deep in the fun as their prede.
cessors, Notwithstanding their orders not to
nre. They kept it up, lodging behind trees and
WORKING around the woods until they got a
nank nre- ran in on the stone wall and captured

Late advices from London state that Mr..
Stanley will legally prosecute Capt. Walter
Barttelot and others who have brought
charges against him in connection with the
controversy egarding the rear guard of
the Emin relief expedition. Mr.. Stanley
has retained Mr.. George Lewis and Sir
Charles Russell to conduct his case. If this
Threatened action ever gets into court it
will probably bring out the truth of the
whole story. But threats of prosecution
have so often been used to allay public sus-
picion that this cannot be serious y regard
cd until some definite action shall be taken.
And Mr. Stanley owes it to himself TO be-
gin and push the prosecution without
further delay.

Mr.. Samuel Plimsoll, an English member
Of parliament who has done much for poor
Jack the sailor, is attempting now by legis-
lative enactment TO bring about the prohi-
bition of the importation into the United
Kingdom Of live cattle from any port or
place west of the twelfth parallel of west
longitude from Greenwich, if intended to be
sold for food. The recent loss of the cattle
ship Erin, with all on board. has attracted
attention to the overcrowding of such yes
sells and to the terrible sufferings of the ami
mails, as well as to the dangers TO human
life; and the crusade in which Mr.. Plimsoll
is engaged seems to be eminently humane.
1t is claimed that meat-not frozen, but re-
trigerated-wil not suffer ia quality by a
transatlantic voyage; and if this be SO the
movement in question should be encour-
aged. 1t would be measure of economy
in freight charges, beside giving work to a
great many people on this side.
