ltr. Crisp.s Suggestions.

Representative Crisp on Friday did some
thing that few members of congress can do.
He made a speech on the tariff that was
listened to by both parties in the House
and which attracted the attention of the
whole country. He submitted some sugges-
tons relative to the Mckinley bill that
would make the bill much more acceptable
to the farmers.
Mr.. Mckinley has been asserting that the
bill is in the interest of the farmers. Mr..
Crisp made it pretty clear that it is nothing
of the kind. He said, however, that it
could be made much more satisfactory to
the farmers by amending it so that it would
make salt free, and bagging, for the corn of
the west and the cotton of the south, free,
and ties, for the hay of the west and the
cotton of the south, free; and so that it
would open the way for cheaper clothing
and farm implements.
OF course Mr.. Crisp's suggestions will not
be adopted, because the adoption of them
would hurt some manufacturing monopolies.
In the estimation of the Republican party
these monopoles are of more Importance
than the farming interests. Mr.. Mckinley
and others, however, will go on asserting
that the tariff bill is legislation in the ia
terest of the farmers. and they may sue
coed in deceiving some of the farmers. The
recent elections in the west, however, show
pretty conclusively that the farmers are
beginning to understand that the tariff
policy of the Republican party is chiefly
responsible for the mortgages which cover
their farms. 1t would not be surprising if
they should send enough democrats to the
next House to bury that policy out of
sight. If they do Mr.. Crisp may be chosen
to shape legislation from the speakers
chair.

a .iteral Intarnretation.

A young teacher in an intermediate school,
the Providence Journal says, wished to com
intricate with teacher at one of the gram
mar schools about a mile away the other day.
For this purpose she chose one of her bright
scholars and dispatched him with a note
directed to the young lady. When the messen-
ger arrived at his destination the teacher
CHANGED to he illustrating some lesson to her
pupils at the blackboard. She therefore sent
word to the boy to take chair. When at leis-
ure she summoned e boy, who was supposed
to be seated in the corridor. but he had disap-
peared.
The young lady was nonplussed but the mys
terry was solved when, some time later, the bow
returned, bearing with him the chair which had
been given him to sit upon. He had accepted
the invitation ITO take a chair" and had CARED
it upon his shou ders back to the school he
came from. The teacher, after she had recoy-
cred from the shock of seeing him drag the
strange chair up to her and deposit it by her
side with conscious air of duty well performed
had sent him back with it. He was pretty well
tired out when he returned, and his ouly expla-
nation was sob and you told me to take it. -

Savannah's Prograss.

No sooner is one enterprise launched in
this city now than another is projected.
Savannah gives one the impression of hav-
Ing awakened from long sleep. Not many
years ago her merchants and rich men did
not think of investing their money in her
real estate, nor of establishing industries
within her limits. They deserted her in
summer. and invested elsewhere the money
they Gid not need in their business UNDER
takings.
great change, however, has taken
place. Savannah is becoming a city of
homes. She is growing prettier every year.
The pride of her people in her is increasing,
aud, what is better, their confidence in her
future is becoming steadily stronger. They
are not hunting for investments elsewhere.
They are scrambling for share of what she
has to offer.
Two railroads have just been completed
which will increase the rich burdens
of her wharves and the volume
of her business, viz: the Savannah and
Western and the Alabama Midland, and
three more are projected. all of which,
there is reason TO think, will be completed
within very short time. Yesterday it
was announced that terminal company
had been formed with capital of 81, 000, 900
to build up DepUford and afford incoming
railroads terminal facilities on the river.
1t is the purpose of the company to con-
struct wharves, docks and railroads. and to
do such other things as will tend to make
the Deptford property many times more
valuable than it is is.
The Deptford enterprise will draw atten-
ton to Savannah, besides contributing large
ly to her prosperity. 1t will influence her peo-
pie to undertake other enterprises, and will
suggest other ways in which her advan-
tages may be utilized.
If anybody five years ago had predicted
Savannah's present prosperity he would
have been laughed at by those who are now
the most enthusiastic about Savannah's
future. The doubters have become con-
verts, and the interesting and gratifying
spectacle is now presented of Savannah's
people working enthusiastically and earn
eStly in her behalf.

The High School.

There may be those who do not approve
the recommendation of the superior court
grand jury that the high school bs made
self-supporting II there are they ought TO
make themselves acquainted with the facts
upon which it is based before expressing
their disapproval The high school costs a
good deal OK money outside of the amount
received from tuition fees, and the number
Of children who attend it. in comparison
with the whole number Of children in the
public schools, is small All of the schools
of the lower grades are crowded, and it is
estimated that there are about 600
children in the city alone who are
not in the schools because there ARE not
enough school houses. Sufficient school
room to accommodate all the children " no
desire 30 attsnd has not been provided, be-
cause there is no money to do so. The
school money received from all sources is
not more than enough TO meet the expenses
of the present number of schools. II the
number of schools is increased, and it ought
to be without unnecessary delay, there
must be reduction il the cost of those now
in existence, or an increase in the rate of
county taxation.
The rate of taxation is already high-so
high, in fact, as to be the subject of great
deal of complaint. The state, county and
city taxes make a burden so heavy that
proposition to increase the rate of county
taxation would be strongly opposed. 1t
may be assumed. therefore, that for the
present there will be no increase in the
amount of money Navailable for the mainte-
nance of the schools
Under these circumstances what is the
duty of the school aHthoritiesl Is it not to
provide schools for the 600 or more children
who are now deprived of all school advan-
tages before using any part of the school
funds for high schooll No doubt every
friend of education would like to see the
high school free school, but it is safe to
say that very few of them would insist
upon the high school being free If it could
be made free only by depriving large
number of children of all school
advantages. The state school law
permits the state school money to be used
for providing instruction in the common
English branches only. This county, in
establishing and partly supporting high
school, has gone beyond the intention of the
state law. No objection would be made to
that. however, by any one, nor to making
the high school entirely free, if, after pro-
vision was made for a sufficient number Of
such schools as is called for by the common
school system. enough money remained to
support high school.
The duty of the school authorities is
plain. 1t is to open the way for all the
children of the county to get common
school education before wholly, or partly.
supporting schools in which are taught the
higher branches of education. Parents
who desire their children to have a better
education that they can get in such schools
as the state school law authorizes must bear
the expense of it until the county's finan-
cial condition is such that high school can
be supported out of the school funds with
out overburdenng the tax payers.

Etiquette is responsible for queer legal de-

on German railway train attempted to eat a
lunch, and while in the act of conveying food TO
his mouth the train stopped suddenly and his
cheek was badly cut on the edge of the knife he
was using. The man sued the company for
damages, but his claim was defeated on the
ground that 1t was breach of etiquette for him
to eat with knife. The court recited unto him
