The Board of Trade SPEAKS.

The board Of trade Of this city adopted
resolutions yesterday protesting against the
passage Il Tie federal election bill. They
are very Conservative resolutions. but they
are tothe point. They say all taat it is nee
eSsary to say. They point out that the bill.
If it. hould become a law, would be product
i've Of an extremely unhappy condition of
affairs iu the south. It would paralyze
business, oh eek all kinds of industrial en-
terprises. demoralize labor, array the races
against each other, and turn away immi-
grafton and capital.
The board of trade does not state too
strongly the evils which would flow from
the bill. 1t could have presented a much
stronger statement and yet been within the
truth. 1t preferred to make a calm, dis
passionate one, however. and it acted
wisely. The purpose of adopting the reso-
buttons was not to produce excitement and
arouse passions, but to appeal to the judg
ments of conservative, thinking men.
The course of the Savannah Board Of
Trade should be followed by other southern
trade bodies. Although there is a strong
belief that the Senate will not pass the bill,
there is probability that it will. and no
effort should be spared to influence it not to
do so. The south should make her voice
heard in this matter. She should give the
democrats in congress all the aid she can in
their efforts to avert the threatening mis-
fortune

"Uncle" Rufus aaton,s Joke.

Yeas ago, says the Chicago Pos, a Chicago
lawyer was Uncle Rufus Hatch's attorney.
In those days Uncle" Rufus was not so much
of a factor in the commercial world as he is
now. lie ana the late George B. Armstrong,
founder OF the railway mail service, were IN
partnership in Chicago, under the firm name of
Armstrong & Hatch They were in the com
mission business, and their Office was locst d
on North Water street, near Clark The panic
OF 1857 cleaned them out. Hatch went to New
York and became a multi-millonaire. Arm
strong went BACK into the Chicago postofhce as
assistant postmaster, position which
with MIR. Hatch Hatch often made
application 10 this legal gentle
man Tor advice and other accommodation, and
as the lawyer practice was a lucrative one, the
amount of such Indebtedness crept uD until the
merchant owed the lawyer considerable sum;
entirely too much to lose. One day the mer-
chant came to the lawyers Office ana said to
him: MY dear fellow, 1 amin trouble. can't
pay my debts You must do something to help
me out can't worry over the matter any
longer The lawyer advised tie pertur9ed
merchant to go to the county court over which
Judge Baron presided. and schedule out. This
Judge was killed some years afterward by hav-
ing his head cut oil by an Illinois Central train.
Inc lawyer and his client went to the court
house and the lawyer made out the schedule
he advised Mr. Hatch to pay what he owed to
MS servants as that item if it should be put into
the schedule would make him appear in an I'M
ehFlaoie hight. He also promised Mr. Hatch
that he would have the matter suppressed by
the papers. In those days 1t was easy to secure
TINS promise, for Mr.. Hatch was then compare
lively obscure
The schedule was duly made out and flied,
and Uncle" Rufus was made by Judicial
decree square with the world" The two left
the court house together. Suddenly Mr.. Hatch
turned and accosted his attorney: MY dear
fellow, quoth he. II forgot one important item
IN that schedule" ''All right" replied the
lawyer, Il am very busy: you go back and at
tend to it. You can do it as well as L. so he
went back and inserted the omitted Item, and 1t
was nothing more or less than the money that
ne owed his attorney, together with the cost for
fling the schedule IL was acostly joke on the
lawyer, but he took it in good part, because he
Is gentleman OF great amiability of character.
Inc lawyer never complained because he was
sure that 1t was only meant as a joke at first
and afterward probably forgotten by the Jester

The Election Bill.

The republicans succeeded in passing the
federal election bill in the House yesterday.
1t was hoped that enough of the southern
republicans would vote with the democrats
to defeat it, The party lash was applied so
vigorously, however, that, with few excep-
tions, they did not dare to leave the party
lines.
No other bill has passed the House in
years so fraught with danger to the coun-
try. 1t is a partisan measure of the worst
kind. The purpose Of it is to enable the
Republican party to keep itself in power by
means which it controls. 1t is intended that
it shall be enforced only in the south, and
in a few northern cities where there
are large democratic majorities. That this
is the intention is shown by the rejection of
an amendment to make it operative in every
congressional district. That such bill, if
it should become law, would be product
i've of a deplorable state of affairs there is
no doubt.
VIII the Senate pass the bill2 1t will if
the democrats of that body do not prevent
it. They can prevent it if gag rule, such as
the House has. is not adopted, to shut off
debate and dilatory motions. The country
is beginning to realize the dangerous char
acter OF the bill, and the. protests which will
reach the Senate may influence that body
to hesitate TO pass so revolutionary a
measure

Cooler Weather.

The weather in this city yesterday was
pleasant in comparison with that whic h
Immediately preceded it for five or six days
The thunder storm of Tuesday and the
heavy rain yesterday morning marked the
beginning of little cooler weather. 1t is
to be hoped that the mercury will not
again during the summer rise as high as it
did in the last days of June
According to our dispatches this mornin g
a cool wave has reached the west. In Chi e
cago yesterday the mercury dropped a good
many degrees, and the people of that city
began again to think life worth living
For a week Or more they had been suffering
intensely from the heat. They also pega n
to have fears of an epidemic. Hundreds of
horses died in the streets and were
not removed until decomposition
had begun, and thousands of dogs and cats
died in the yards and cellars and remained
there until the stencil from them became
almost unbearable. the health depart
ment was virtually paralyzed. 1t could
not do much more than take care of the
human beings who were victims of the
weather. Consequently even in the bust
ness portion of the city dead horse in the
streets was not an uncommon sight.
On Monday, up to O'clock IN the after
ternoon, fifty deaths from sunstroke were
reported. Some of them probably belonged
to Sundays death record. On Monday
however, there were over 200 deaths from
all causes.
Chicago certainly has cause to rejoice
that she has cooler weather. Another week
of such weather as that of the last days of
June would have made her death rate an
appalling one. And Chicago was not the
only city in the west whose people suffered.
There were a good many such cities, all of
which hope that that the hottest weather of
the summer is over.

The Pennsylvania Nominations.


The democrats Of Pennsylvania made a
wise choice yesterday in nominating Robert
z. Pattison for governor and Chauncey F.
Black for Lieutenant governor. Pattison
and Black are about the most popular
democrats in the state.
Ex-Gov. PattisOn is man with an IN
blemished record. both in private and
public life. He is still young, and has dab
bled very little in politics. He was con-
trouer Of Philadelphia, and was elevated
from that Office 10 the governorship. He
gave the people clean administration, ard
instituted many reforms, which saved
the taxpayers thousands Of dollars Since
his retirement from office he has practiced
law.
He is now called upon for the second time
to lead the party, with Chauncey
F. Black as an associate. The latter was
the democratic nominee for lieutenant
governor 10 1882, and in 1886 was a candidate
against Gen. Beaver for governor, but was
defeated. He. too, is a man of spotless
character. lawyer who ranks high in his
profession.
The convention, therefore, chose two men
who need no introduction to the people.
Their regulations have never been smirched
by political jobbery. They will represent
the peoples interests, if elected.
Can as much be said for Delamater,
Quay's man! Unless the democrats blunder
unpardonably Mr.. Matthew Stanley Quay
will not enjoy the felicity of knowing how
1t feels" to own a governor. The republi-
cans Of Pennsylvania sometimes assert their
Independence when they think they have
sufficient provocation. They did so in 1882.

Reports that Asiatic cholera is epidemic
In certain parts of Spain still continue to be
cabled to this country. 1t is doubtful if
these reports are authentic; at least, no
medical or scientific testimony has been
offered yet that the disease is the dread
Asiatic destroyer of life. 1t is also stated
that the disease had its genesis in the open
ing up of an old cemetery in which were
buried the victims of the epidemic of 1885.
If this is established as the truth, the advo-
Gates of cremation will have gained an ar
gument of great weight.

Chicago millionaire tariff barons have beea
interviewed In regard to our South Ameri-

ton of one, are in favor of steamship subsi-
dies to extend our commerce in that direc-

reduction, would do it. Messrs Armour &

An interesting suit has been begun in
Philadelphia by barber named Herbert
against Charles B. Wright, ex-president of
the Northern Pacific railroad, for $4,000.
Herbert used to shave Wright. and Wright
liked him SO well that he used to give him
points on Northern Pacific stock for specu-
lating purposes. He used also to put up
margins for Herbert, and couple of years
ago bought in his name large number of
shares. A few months ago he got tired Of
carrying the stock and wanted TO sell out
Herbert objected. Wright, however, sold
at a small profit. Since then the stock has
advanced about 800 a share, and Herbert
has sued Wright for the amount he woal1
have received had the deal been closed at
the highest figures.

There is movement on foot to limit the
membership of the Southern Club in New
York to 700. The club has nearly that
many members now, and with the enact
ment OF the proposed limit applicants for
membership would have to wait for death
or resignation of others before they could
be elected. The idea is good one The
club will thus enhance the value of its mem
bership, and a man who becomes a member
will appreciate the privilege all the more.

The admission of Idaho into the IL MON as
state was part of the republican pro-
gramme, and the democrats allowed the
bill to pass in the Senate without even call
ing for the ayes and nays, as they knew it
would be carried through by a strict party
vote the same as the Wyoming bill. The
democrats proved that the population of the
territory was not sufficient to entitle it TO
one representative in congress. But that
makes no difference to the republicans. BY
making pocket states" like Idaho they
gain two United States senators, and in this
way they hope to preserve the Senate as the
citadel of their power for some years to
come 1t matters not to them what the eff
feet of such legislation will be as long as
they can remain in control Idaho and
Wyoming will be two more top-helvy
states like Nevada in the sisteraood of

England can say that she has the best of
the bargain in the Anglo-German agree

more valuable than Heligoland, which is
coded to Germany. There is another. and
more important side of the question, how
ever. Both nations will build up settlements
in Africa. The effort is one which in the
end will be of advantage to mankind, since
thus far the region which they control has
been given over to barbarism, with no good
to the outside world, and with no appre-
ciable advantage to its native Inhabitants

The Democratic Party Not Injured.

The Democratic Party Not Injured.
Senator Call and Mr.. Chipley talked to
about 400 people at Arcadia on Tuesday,
and the Democratic party of Florida still
lives. They are going to talk again at Bar
tow tomorrow, or at least have agreed to do
so, and it is safe to say that the Democratic
party of Florida will survive. Indeed, if
these distinguished gentlemen should en-
gage in joint debate in every town in Flor
ida, the Democratic party of the state would
suffer no harm. Those Florida Democrats
who have been expressing fears that if
Messrs. Call and Chipley should appear
upon the same platform and try to get the
better of each other in contest Of words.
the Democratic party would be in danger
of speedy destruction, must now be con-
scious of a feeling of relief that must be
extremely pleasant after their long period of
anxiety.
Summed up, what did the speeches of
Messrs. Call and Chipley at Arcadia amount
to9Nothing, absolutely nothing, so far as any
important interest of Florida is concerned.
The debaters talked about themselves aud
each other. They made charges against
each other, and denied charges which each
had made against the other. All they
said is contained in their voluminous
pamphlets. If the people of any other of
the Florida towns want to hear what they
have to say let them hire hall and employ
a good elocut;onist to read to them these
pamphlets. If they don't go to sleep before
the reading is over they will know what
Senator Call thinks of Mr.. Chipley, and
what Mr.. Chipley thinks of Senator Call,
just as thoroughly as if they had listened to
the authors of the pamphlets.
What Florida democrats should keep in
mind, however, is that this mighty war of
words i'll which Senator Call and Mr.. Chip
ley are engaged does not concern the Demo-
cratic party of Florida, or of any other
state, in any respect. 1t is purely per-
sonal matter, and they ought to be allowed
to fight to the finish without interference.
