Save the Wish Bones, Children.

Some time ago gave the Young Folks
of the AGRlCULTURIsT directions how to
make funny little lads and lassies from
corn cobs and corn husks. From such
homely materials real stylish "tony" lit
tie people can be made, and if the work is
neatly done, will be very pretty and al
ford much amusement, for rainy days at
least.

A New Years Greeting.


ga Happy New Year" to all the dear
children
Have You all fairly recovered from
your Christmas pleasures and ready to
begin the New Year? How strange it
seems, does it not, to add another unit
to our date? How many OF you have al
ready thoughtlessly penned the old fig
ures 1890. 1t takes time to train our
hands to write theme date. Wefeel sorry
t)let the old year, like dear old friend %
from us, never to return.
We have all grown one year older, and
hope much wiser. Is it SO? No one, it
seems to me, can cross the unseen line
which seems to separate the old year from
the new, without serious thoughts ofhow
these swiftly passing years shall affect
our lives.
None of the dear children who can read
true, and shun the Path which leads as
tray. New Years day is the usual time
for making good resolutions. But thew
are as often broken. "Good resolutions
are well enough, but are by no means to

Raise More Colt on.

Although the acreage of cotton fields
is increasing annually, and every year the
yield is greater and greater, the supply is
still short of the demand. United States
Consul Gunell at Bradford, England, makes
reference TO this in recent report to the
state department at Washington. Speak
ing of the American product, he says:
During the past six or seven years the in-
crease of production of cotton has not kept
pace with the increasing capacity of ths
worlds spindles to absorb it." This seasons
yield will probably exceed that of any
previous year, and, as the farmers we'll
know, it will not be drug
on the market They could get rid of more
than they will have. and at fair prices. All
this argues in favor of the growth and
progress of cotton raising. One of the best
arguments in favor of an investment in a
cotton plantation is that cotton is as good as
money. The farmer does not have to hunt
for a market for it like he does for other
products. There is always market for
cotton.
Georgia offers peculiar advantages in SOIL
climate and transportation facilities to cot
ton planters. Good land is cheap and
plentiful, and there never will be better
opportunity to buy it than now
1t is not to be understood. of course, that
that the MORNING News advises farmers
to devote all their attention to cotton. The
most successful farmers are those who cul-
tivate diversified crops-that Is produce
their own focdsupplies. What is meant is
that there are vast areas of good cotton
growing land that are not now cultivated at
all. Farmers of the west would act wisely
If they should seek the south and open
farms instead of cultivating corn in the
west at 90 cents a bushel

speaker Reeds Election Methods.

Speaker Reeds Election Methods.
Speaker Reed is not certain Of being re-
elected, and he is on his way home to see If
he cannot arouse greater enthusiasm in his
behalf among the republican voters Of his
districV. A great deal Of dissatisfaction has
been created among the bess element OF the
republicans of his district by what is known
as the Biddeford case.
1t seems that for years the Bidief1rd
municipal court has been issuing naturaliza-
tion papers. Nobody doubted until recently
that it had a right to do so. The officials Of
the court are republicans, and have been for
long time. Most OF those 10 whom the
ccurt has issued naturalization papers,
however, are not republicans There are
5l4 of them, and, as a rule, they and their
grown up sors vote the democratic ticket
Ire story Is that when it beclme apparent
that the democrats were making very Wig.
orous campaign against Mr.. Reed, ard that
his election was in some doubt, il was sug-
gested that it would be a shrewd move to
have the question, whether ths 5l4 persons
who had teen naturaiized in the Biddefor
municipal court were legally naturalized or
not, tested. 1t is not stated that this sug-
gestion originated with Mr.. Reed, but it
would not be surprising, In the light of sub
sequent events, if it did.
A test case was made and the supreme
court Of Maine, composed of republicans
and not averse, it is alleged, to doing little
partisan work, decided that the Biddefor d
municipal court had no authority to issue
naturalization papers, aud that, therefore,
the 514 persons who had received naturali-
zition papers from it were not legal voters.
Mr.. Reeds district is such close one that
the sllencing of few hundred democratic
votes might enable him to carry the district,
and the democratic leaders of the district,
therefore, at once took steps to have the
defect in the titles to citizenship of the 514
persons In question cured. They had bill
introduced into the House last Thursday
for that purpose.
1t would not take up ten minutes of the
time of the House to pass the bill. All that
is necessary Is for the speaker to give some
one chance to call it up. Representative
Cummings and Representative Hays both
tried on Monday to call it up, but Speaker
Reed, although knowing their purpose,
refused to recognize either of them.
The speaker went away to look after his
fences in his district, without permitting
justice to be done to the 514 persons of his
district who believed for years that they
were citizens. and have voted at many
elections. And yet this same Speaker Reed
is never tired of alleging That democrats in
the south carry elections by trickery, fraud
and violence. He is the real author of the
force bill, and it was mainly through his
efforts that the bill passed the House. Prob
ably, if he thinks he can be elected even if
the ol4 democrats should vote, he will per-
NIT the passage of the bill to cure the defect
in their naturalization papers, but will he
permit justice to be done them if he tninks
their votes would prevent his elections
Time alone can tell.

TIE TRADE REVIEW.

For years. on the opening of each sue
ceeding season, there has been presented
evidence of large increase in Savannah's
business Heretofore this increase has been
due to the natural growth of Savannah's
tributary territory, 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 cume into existence,
that will make the business year Of 1S90-91
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
of trade which these new railroads will
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
iustifes 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 to SEQ who are the
live and progressive business men of Savan-
nah and what they are Offering for sale
There is a large and lucrative trade to be
secured from the territory which the new
railroads have made tributary to Savan-
nab, 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-
uah's enterprise. The agents of the MoRs-
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.
It is proposed to send copy of the trade
review to each subscriber to the WEEK. Y
NEWS, as well as to each subscriber to the
daily, thus giving advertisers the benefit of
both editions at a little more than the usual
price of one
An advertisement in a newspaper is an in
vitation to buyers to call 1t virtually says

The annual review will contain the usual
resume OF the business of the city for tbs
last year. 1t will be sent to thousands o!
people who are interested in Sayannah's
welfare and prosperity.

Train Robberiee.

The train robber is becoming holder
Every few days a train is robbed on some
one of the western or southwestern rail-
roads. In our dispatches yesterday there
was an account Of the robbery of the express
car on the cannon ball train Of the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad. The crime was
committed in Alabama, and the robber es-
capped. TEE train robbers nearly all escape.
They lay their plans very skillfully, and
generally have control Of the train before
the conductor, engineer and train hands
know what is going on.
1t is sometimes ordered why the express
mes euger, the conductor aud the train
men don't make brave resistance. I'm
armed men taken unawares don't feel like
showing fight when confronted by fully
armed and masked men who are believed to
be ready to take human life on a very
slight pretext. Once in while an express
messenger shows fight, and then il he doesn't
get killed he gets badly hurt
1t ia evident that systema tic means must
be adopted TO prevent trains from being
robbed. The railroad companies don't 90
10 the expense Of carrying a number of
armed men 10 their trains for the purpose
of fighting train robbers. for the reason,
perhaps, that they seldom lose ANYTHING.
The express companies and travellers are
the ones who are robbed, and the railroad
companies don't guarantee them against
loss
Is it the states duty to guard railroad
trainsl 1t will hardly be admitted that it

some one. The express companies and
travellers must protect themselves. 1t is
rather severe reflection upon the country
that man who travels upon western or
southwestern railroads runs the risk of
being robbed.
AS general thing, however, it is only
the express car that receives the attention
Of the robbers. In that car are carried
large sums Of money aud many valuable
articles II is much less risky to breal into
the express car and carry off its valuabtes
than it is to rob the occupants of passenger
coaches.

disposing of their booty without being de-
tected. The parties which are organized
with such flourish Of trumpets to search

they fail nearly always to come up With
