Greed, kapacity and can.

Somebody, believing that the Grand
Army of the Republic should not be the
only body legalized to make raid on the
treasury, has drawn up Il bill providing for
the organization of the Grand Army of
Labor, which Senator Plumb has intro
duced in congress by request The first
section, which contains the gist of the bill,
reads as follows:
The President of the United States shall
forthwith issue call addressed to all citi-
zens OF the United States over 81 wears of
age, inviting them to serve in the Grand
Army of Labor of this republic for not less
than one day, under the following terms
and conditions: First, the hours of labor
snail not excesd four hours per day for
more than five days in each week, nor for
more than six successive weeks without an
lntermlsSion OF two weeks; second, the rate
OF wages shall be 81 per day, and be paya-
bic weekly in the declaratory full legal
tender sllH-threaded greenback paper money
of the United States OF America exclu-
sively.
The other sections provide for the crea-
ton of a department of labor, and for
printing enough money to carry it on. The
Philadelphia Inquirer, commenting on the
bill, calls the peoples attention to this bill
that they may see what extraordinary legis-
lation congress is sometimes asked to enact
in their MAMIE. The scheme is certainly an
extraordinary one, but is it any more ex-
traordlnary than some of the pension bills
by which the Grand Army of the Republic
Is enabled to draw millions of the people's
money out of the treasury annually for its
members2 The Inquirer is silent about
the mary 1ayisIatiO, e. ,>o-r;o,,z
toward which the Grand Army of Labor
must contribute, and for which they receive
nothing in return. Instead of being reduced
there is danger of their burdens of taxation
being increased by the lavish and reckless
expenditure of money for pensions. True
the way to reduce taxation is not by assist
ing to plumber the treasury, but 1T is plum
der, nevertheless, whether it is done in the
name of the Grand Army of Labor or the
Grand Army of the Republic.
If the existing and proposed PEN
sion measures are not extraordinary
legislation what are they? The
dependent pension bill will cot $50
100000 year. Gen. Raum sets the repeal
of arrears limitation at $471, 365, 400; the
estimate of the prisoners of war bill is $ll,-
1000; the war department figures the
service pension at 81, 1888. 109, so, and the
equalization of bounties at Sl6l, 543,6 34.
This makes total of s1,909, 5lS,S54 or,
adding the regular annual appropriation,
something over s2,OoO,OOO,OO0, more than
two-thirds of the entire cost of the war, or
the total income Of the government for six
years.
Both the G. A. R. and tho G. A. L.
schemes call for almost unlimited amounts
of money. In the one case the initial letters
stand for greed and rapacity, in the other
for gall, pure and unsdulterated.

and representatives from the south and
west are almos. all in favor of the bill, and
very few republican congressman from
either of these sections could be induced to
vote against it by the argument that the
success of the republican party depended
upon the ability of the administration to

The assertion is frequently made that
great de Il Of the money voted for rivers

work is often suspended for months, and the

Is M. wanamaker Revengefuip


The Boston publisher Of Tolstoi's ''Kreut-
yer Sonata makes a charge against Post
master General Wananaker which TIE
latter ought to notice at once. In our dis
patches a day or two ago the statement was
made that Mr.. Wanamaker had excluded
the book in question from the mails on the
ground that ii contained great deal that
was very Objectionable from the standpoint
Of morality.
The Boston publisher declares that Mr..
Wanamaker was Influenced in his action
by motives of revenge. He asserts that Mr..
Wanamaker de Ired to buy a very large
number Of the books for his Philadelphia
shop Mr. Wanamaker demanded a dis
count however, that the publisher could
not grant, and Mr. Wanamaker's order was
not filled. Can it be possible that Mr..
Wanama ser intended to sell a book which
be now SAYS is too ind ecent to have the
privilege of the mails!
The Boston publisher tells a pretty
straight story, but 1t will hardly be gener-
ally accepted ual SIS he produces corroborat-
ing evidence. If Mr.. Wanamaker thought
the work fit 10 sell 70 his customers it ought
to be fit, in his estimation, to be distributed
by the mails. 1t can hardly be probable
that it has been shut out by the mails be
cause the Boston publisher would not fill
Mr.. Wanamaker's order for the books at the
latter's own price. The public would like to
know what Mr.. Wanamaker has to say in
answer 20 the Boston publishers charge. 1t
is to be hoped that he will not admit that it
is true by remaining silent.

The Washington correspondents say that
the heat has robbed the senators of a good
deal of their dignity. and that they no
longer observe the conventionalities of
their august body in the matter of dress.
Thus we are told Senator Vance created
a sensation the other day, when he ap-
peared on the floor wearing a dude sash
instead of vest, and thai several other
senators have discarded the waistcoat, and
few have gone still further in the matter
of dress reform to secure comfort by wear
ing alpaca coats instead of the regulation
frock.
This seeking for comfort may not be
strictly according to etiquette, but the cor
respondents distinctly state that the SEN
ators display clean linen, while they have
frequently displayed dirty linen on other
occasions when all requirements in the mat
ter of dress wero properly observed. Be
You'd this, it has been stated that the Vice
President dealt severe blow to senatorial
etiquette by emitting recently the time
honored ceremony performed by profound
bow and followed by the words, Mr. Presi-
dent, a message, etc." which has
been a custom for fifty years when
receiving message from the House or
the President. Not only have old forms
and usages been disregarded but now it is
proposed to introduce new practices as well
parliamentary feature borrowed from the
House to gag members and shut off debate.
Tue latest innovation, however, is regarded
with surprise and pain by the people
who regard the Senate as the bulwark Of
our liberties. The progress of evolution in
that body is looked upon with great appre-
hension.

THE TRADE REVIE W.

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 Savannahs
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 come into existence.
that will make the business year of 1890-9l
more notable than auy 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
iustifies 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 mon 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
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 well 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 U.S.
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 Savanuah's
welfare and prosperity.
The Trade Review edition will be issued
Sept. 4. Space in its columns can be OBJ
tanned upon application to the business

Savannah's Climate.

Summer or winter Savannah is lust
about as pleasant city to live in as any
other IN the country. Her winter climate
is very mild, the weather is seldom cold and
is generally clear. Her summer climate is
certainly preferable to that of Chicago and
many other western cities, and even to that
of New York. There were some hot DAYS
during last Junes but as a rule the nights
were cool, and July was al exceedingly
pleasant month.
There were days during last June when
life was hardly endurable in either Chicago
or New York. There were also some OK
tremely hot days in those cities in July.
And last Saturday in Chicago was the hot
test day experienced there in many years.
The dispatches say that thousands of mo-
chanics were compelled to leave their work.
and that nearly one thousand people were
Frustrated by the heat. The hos
pitfalls were filled with those
who had been sunstruck, and
the mortality among horses was something
fearful. The dead carts of the health de-
partment were running all day, in
order to keep the streets free from carcasses.
AS late as 9 o'clock in the evening, the
thermometer registered 9Se, and sleep, of
course, was impossible.
Savannah has had no such experience as
Chicago. Her people thus far have had a
rather pleasant summer. As place of res
ldence, Savannah is much to be preferred
TO most other cities of the country.

a SuRpastion to Council

Liberty street is now a very pretty street,
and it is becoming prettier The people are
beginning to take good deal Of interest in
the grass plots in frolt of their residences,
and the city is doing something to beautlfy
the neutral ground In the center Of the
street. A few of the residents are vet
neglectful of the grass in front of their
homes, but they will hardly continue to be
so. As they contemplate the nicely kept
lawns in front Of their neghbors' houses
the spirit of Improvement will take posses-
sion of them, and in a year or two more
there will be no neglected grass plets any
where along the street, provided the city
will see to it that the grass is protected.
The council ought to pass an ordinance,
and enforce it, making it a Unable offense
to trample the grass upon the sides or in the
center of the street. The street cars should
be prevented from stopping except at the
street crossings. There Is no use trying to
cultivate grass in front of the residences or
on neutral ground if it is permitted to be de-
stroyed with impunity. There is no reason
why people should not keep on the side
walks or in the streets, and if they want to
go from one side of the street to the other
they should cross at the crossings, and not
wear paths through the grass
The people can be taught to keep off the
grass in Liberty street just as they we're
taught to keep off it in johnson square. If
the chairman of the street and lane commit
tee were to interest himself in the matter
there is no doubt that he could bring about
tie reform that is desired. He has done
much to beautify Liberty street, and it
would be source of satisfaction if he would
take the lead in protecting the improve
ments he has made
