The wanamaker Boycott.

There are tlnmistakable signs that Post
master General Wanamaker is afraid that
the boycott of his Philadelphia stores,
which was inaugurated in South Carolina
town a few months ago, and which Yves
taken up by the leading merchants of
Athens, Co., when Matt Davis was ap-
pointed postmaster at that place, will as
sumo considerable proportions in the south.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press has come to his defense, and
the fact that he does so in the chief repub-
hcan organ of the Postmaster Generals
home city, and that he makes public a pri-
vate letter from the Postmaster General
to citizen of Atlanta, would seem to indl-
cate that his action is in accordance with
pre-arranged plan, to which the Postmaster
General is party.
The correspondent pooh-poohs the state
ments that the boycott amounts to anything
worth mentioning. That there is any COM
motion ovefsthe appointment of Davis, at
Athens, or elsewhere, he says, is news to
Georgians In the Postmaster Generals
personal letter, a part of which the CORE
spondent is permitted to make public"
Mr.. Wanamaker intimates that if the
southern people do not change their course
in regard to his appointment of colored
people very little more northern capital
will be invested in the south.
The boycott of Mr.. Wanamaker's Phila-
delphia stores is not at all the insignificant
matter that the correspondent would make
it appear. Athens is a prosperous
atA oE -
she does large business annually.
and some Of her merchants have
bought quite extensively from Mr.. Wana-
makers dry goods store, and many of her
citizens have for years patronized his cloth
ing establishment. The leading merchants,
as our news columns have shown, have
signed an agreement to buy their dry goods
elsewhere, and the orders for clothing re-
ceived at the Wanamaker establishment
from Athens will be exceedingly few here
after. The reports indicate that all over
Georgia merchants and others are quietly
Withdrawing their patronage from Wana-
maker, and the course taken by the Atlanta
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press is
ample evidence that Mr.. Wanamaker isn't
making as much money as he was. OF
course Mr.. Wanamaker is too wealthy to
be financially embarrassed by anything the
people of Georgia may do, but he is also too
fond of money not to squirm when his
profits are reduced.
Mr.. Wanamaker's threat that northern
capital will be withheld from the south if
this boycott business isn't stopped is an idle
one He wants the southern people to be
punished for protesting against something
to which the northern people would not
submit, and which he has not dared to try to
infiict upon them. He will find that north
ern capitalists put their money where it
viii bring the biggest returns, and that
they are moro likely to censure him for APP
pointing as pcstmasters those who are OBJ
noxious to the people than they are to
censure the southern people for protesting
against such appointments.

Abolish the Nuisance.

Public sales Of real and personal properly
are OF course necessary, but il is not neces-
sary that such sales shall be held IN the most
conspicous place in the city. The monthly
sales at the court house are getting to be a
good deal Of a nuisance. The sale yesterday
at the back of the court house brought
together e miscellaneous collection of
property, consisting of WORKOUT horses and
mules afflicted with the different kinds of
diseases to which horse flesh is heir, and
numerous articles of one kind and another
in various stages of dilapidation and ruin.
a goOd-sized crowd was drawn TO the scene
of the sale either by curiosity or desire to
secure bargains. OF course nobody took
care not to trample the grass of the square
in front Of Telfair academy, although the
city has just put the SOU IRE in good con-
dition at considerable expense.
When the courts occupied the old court
house these monthly sales were witnessed
On Bull street, and they were well calcu-
lated to make one believe that Savannah
had not yet got rid of her village customs.
A stranger visiting the city for the first
time, and witnessing one of these sales,
would be apt to wonder whether or not he
was in a little backwoods settlement.
Is it not about time to abolish these
monthly sales in front of the court house
We think it is. If the sales must be had,
let them take place in some less conspicuous
place. There are places on Bay street that
are much more suitable for them, or, if
there are objections to them on that street,
let place for them be provided somewhere
in the suburbs.
When the new court house is completed
nobody who feels the least pride in the city
will want the sales held on Bull street again,
and there is no good reason why they should
be held there. All that is needed to bring
about the necessary reform is an order from
the city council or the county commission
ers, or whoever is clothed with the proper
authority, disseminating the sales in the
vicinity of the court house and designating
some other place for them.
Savannah is good sized city. She has
ceased to be a village. and, therefore, she
should put aside the things which we've all
well enough in her village days, but which
are out of place now. Let her authorities
institute the reforms which her increasing
Importance demands 1t is for them to
take the lead in such matters and not wait
to be pushed into activity by public senti-
ment They ought to see what changes
would be in the line of improvement and
make them without waiting to be asked to
do so

VIII Chicago E11nkp

There is a growing belief in New York
that the worlds fair will not be held in
Chicago notwithstanding the fact that one
branch of congress has decided that it shall.
This belief is based upon industriously cir
culated reports that Chicago is beginning to
think that the fair is altogether too big
thing for her to handle with credit to herself
and the country, and that she is beginning
to doubt her ability to raise the necessary
amount Of money for it or to erect the
buildings in time to hold the fair in 1892.
Doubtless all these reports are unjust to her.
She has not yet had time to think calmly of
impose upon her, or to make a careful esti-
mate of the resources upon which she can
depend with absolute certainty.
There Is no doubt, however, that those of
her citizens who have given the matter of
the fair careful consideration are not as en-
thusiastic as are those who have thought of
nothing beyond getting the fair They
appreciate how difficult it is going to be to
get the 0,000,0 900 or S15,0O0,O0O required
for buildings and other expenses, and also
what an immense amount of work will have
to be done in a short time in order to have
everything ready by 1892.
1t may be, as some of the New Workers
think, that some quiet work is now being
done in the Senate which will result in Civ
ing the fair to New York, provided it be-
comes clearly apparent that the government
will not advance the money to erect the
fair buildings. OF course it. is denied that
ttnlnnrn hCl FrO,
the government, but there are
comparatively few who put much
confidence in the denial. New York and,
in fact, the greater part of the country can
be depended upon to oppose any large ap-
preparation to help Chicago, because New
York was prepared to take the fair and
make it a success without any expense to the
government, and Chicago got it only by
offering to do the same thing.
1t is to be regretted that the Chicago peo-
pie are wrangling over a site for the fair
Before Chicago got the fair it was under
stood that there would be no difficulty about
a site in that city, but now it seems there is
the hveliest kind of a fight going on about
that matter. Some want it in one part of
the city and some in another, and finally a
proposition has been made that the fair
shall be divided into four parts. and each
part shall be in a different section of the
city. Those who make this proposition
have the idea that the fair is intended to
benefit only the people of Chicago. They
ignore the fact that it is worlds fair.
They want to use the fair to boom building
lots and other real property. OF course
they will not have their wishes gratified
But there will be good deal of wrangling
among the Chicago people with respect to
many things, and there would have been
also had New York got the fair. New
Workers, therefore, will, in all probability,
be disappointed if they think that Chicago
will funk before the question of the far is
finally settled and that New York will
finally get the fair.

The Augusta Ereninq NeaCs does not
think that Capt KoIb, of Alabama, will
derive much benefit in his race for governor
from having given to the state the "Kolb
Gem" watermelon. The NetUS ought to be
right, whether it is or not. The "Kolb
Gem" isn'C the best variety of melon. 1t is
inviting to look upon, and it makes one see
visions of firm red fruit, delicious to the
taste; but the fact is that these visions are
rarely realized, so far as the "Kolb GEM
is concerned. You can't always judge a
man by the coat he wears, nor can you
Judge ''Kolb Gem" by Its exterior. Capt.
Kolb is probably lodging the mention of
waJernelons in his canvass.

A newspaper published in Austin, Tex,
and devoted to ''the elevation and improve
ment of the negro race" says that the col
ored people who are leaving North and
South Carolina for Mississippi and Arken-
sas are being imposed upon by the railroads.
The agents of the roads, it says, are at the
bottom of the migratory movement, and
they are inducing the colored people to
leave for no other purpose than to increase
the passenger business Possibly there is
something in this. The colored people have
almost always been imposed upon in these
emigration schemes.

The consolidation of several parishes in
New York city is one of the most interest
ing events in church circles. This combina-
ton is not in the nature of a trust, but, on
the contrary, 1t is one that may meet with
favor elsewhere. The New York Press
says: There are hundreds Of villages in
this country whore there are three or four
struggling little evangelical churches, nearly
all in debt, and restricted by their condition
10 work OF substance and defense. II they
would ignore doctrinal non-essentials and
unite for effective and aggressive work
they would certainly make a better impress
sion on the irreverent world at large"
The idea is altogether a new one, and it
may cause good deal of earnest discus
sion.

Referring to Senator Chandeliers appeal
for aid for the families of the negro men
who were lynched at Barnwell, S. c., the
Philadelphia Press says: These people
have been reduced to a very destitute and
pitiable condition" The Richmond Dis
patch comes back at the Press as follows:
g negro suffering for food, or fuel, or
house room is a rare thing in the South.
We venture TO say that there are a thousand
families, white and black. in Philadelphia
that are in much greater need Of charity
than any of the families for whom William
f. Chandler is asking contributions. There
are also ten times as many crimes cor.-
mitted daily or annually in Philadelphia as
among the same number of persons in any
southern state.n In the above. the Dispatch
shows up in few words tho hypocrisy of the
men and newspapers of the William E.
Chandler school.

signed bill to prohibit the sale in Virginia
of beef from any other state. The law has

and that the farmers are not paid more for

Baxter wants him to be governor, and he

veloping Tennessee. The people of Tennes-
