Congressman Featherstone of Arkansas
is a curious combination, like his name. He
has hitherto been noted for the political
summersault he turned when he deserted
his farmer constituency and went over to
the republicans. Since he performed that
acrobatic feat he has developed other quail
ties. He proves to be a humorist of the
grimmest kind. A bill he introduced in
the House provides that the surplus money
in the treasury of the United States or out
on loan to banks may be lent to such states as
wish to borrow, they paying one-half of per
cent year. Any state which wishes to
do so, however, must first pass suitable
laws for distributing the loan between such
counties as may desire to borrow it, they to
pay 1per cent. per annum. The counties are
then to lend the money to their individual
citizens for per cent year, ia ing as
security real estate or products of the mill,
farm or factory. 1t will be noticed that tue
bill provides that the loans shall be made
from the surplus in control of the treasury,
but as the surplus has been wiped out, Con-
gresham Featherstone's farmer coustit-
uency will at once see that the gentleman
who 80 ably misrepressnts them has made
them the victims of a cruel practical
joke.

The Responsibility Located.

Immediately after the supreme council of
labor leaders at Terre Haute refused to
order a strike on the Vanderbilt roads of
the men belonging to the federated labor
unions, Grand Master Workman Powderly
addressed meeting of the striking Knights
of Labor at Albany, n. Y. In the course of
his remarks he said: II have few blunt
words to say to you. This strike is your
own. You have ordered it yourselves, and
it was not ordered by the order or by the
general officers. You went into it with
your eyes wide OPEN
From this it would seem as if Mr. Pow
derby does not think that the knights acted
wisely in striking, aud that while he is will
ing TO do sll he can Co help the strikers, he
wants them to understand that they acted
on their own responsibility in striking, and
also that they acted I'M wisely. 1t is certain
that it would have been much the wiser
course to have placed their case in the hands
of Mr.. Powderly aud those who are ascot
ated with him in the management of the
affair of the knights. What are the leaders
for if not to settle the grievances of the
members of the order on the best terms that
can be obtained! The mistake that en-
ployes too often make is that of acting with
out due consideration. They ought never
to strike without a reason that would be
certain to be approved by the public. If
! they should follow that rule their strikes
! would almost always be successful.

A Story of the Wild West.

Years ago there was in Cheyenne a saloon OF
the concert tyr e called The God Dust" says
the St Paul Pioneer Press. 1t had one story
enthusiastically; historically it had many, aud
this is one of them: There was a Spaniard in
CHEYENNE then. His name, it turned out after
ward. was Ramon Bra2uda, but those by whom
he was surrounded, too impatient for foreign
pronunciation, called him Charlie" Bragu Ia
was not socaole, but after he had been in
Cheyenne a while it was discovered that he
could dance and sing There were plenty who
could fling in Highlandsh fashion and play the
clog upon t.e sawduSt floor of The Gold Dust .
but the foreign rhythm of Braguda S favorte
song and the mysterious couvolutions of his
dance placed him easily the favorlte.
The last time that Bra yuda visited The Gold
Dust was in December, nearly fifteen years
ago. It was about II o'clock at night Brad

Braguda'S melody. Braguda began singing near
the bar, lifted his wide-brimmed hat from his
black hair, flung it among the crowd and swung
himself, half dancing, to the dais.
Para jardines, Granada,

Para amores, tus ojos,

That was the song. Most of us had learned
the words.

For love, thine eyes, .
When they look at me-"
Over and over again the last two lines:
For love, thine eyes,
When they look at me-
When they look at me-
For love, thine eyes"
And as Braguda danced and sang some
tunetul ruffian in the audience began humming
with him-another joined and another until
there was strong, harmonious swelling threat

and richer, his dance seemed to strengthen it.

THE 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, aud the
gradual enlargement of her two great rail-
road systems. These things will continue to
contribute to her growth ana prosperity,
and, in addition to them, there are others,
which have recently come 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 70 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
justifes 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
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 large and lucrative trade to be
secured from the territory which the new
railroads have made tributary to Savan-
nah, as we'll 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

try, and the people are taking the paper

John Penn is missing. Georgia looks in
