THE TRADE REVIEW.

For years, on the opening of each sue
ceeding season, there has been presented
evidence of a large increase in Savannah's
business. Heretofore this increase has been
due to the natural growth Of Savannah's
tributary territory, a better understanding
of her commercial advantages, and the
gradual enlargement of her two great rail
read 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 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 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
DdNdnUdu anu luCIbdoGu uti u aus = cdIl1
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 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 bean 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 70 send copy of the trade
review to each subscriber TO the WEEKLY
NEWS, as well as 10 each subscriber to the
daily, thus giving advertisers the benefit OF
both editions at q little more than the usua
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 us
We have all these things to show YOU
The annual review will contain the usua
resume of the business of the city for tn
last year. 1t will be sent to thousands o
people who are interested in Savannah
welfare and prosperity.

Over 10000 applications for pensions
have been filed since the approval Of the
dependent pension bill five weeks ago. The
wonderful rapidity with which these claims
have been filed is due to the disinterested
solicitude for the old soldiers of the Wash
ington pension claim agents, who receive a
fee of $40 for each claim allowed. The
amount received for fees will make a fabu-
lous fortune in itself. 1t will add millions
to the golfers Of the pension sharks TIE
amount that will be required annually for
pensions is now estimated at over 1851 ,0OO,-
600. Thus ends the story of the vanished
surplus,

An Anxious Organ.

The New York Tribune Is applying the
party lash to the republican senator's with
the hope of forcing them to pass the McKin-
ley tariff bill by the same means that it was
passed by the republicans in the House. 1t
tells them that they ought to agree uponsall
amendments in caucus, and then tire out
opposition to the bill by keeping the Senate
in session at nights or pass a gag rule
to cut off debate and dilatory motions.
This organ of the protected monopolists is
so anxious for the passage of the bill that it
has no patience with those senators of its
own party who want to discuss the various
provisions of it. 1t charges, in effect. that
these senators would rather see the bill fail
than to change the Senate rule which per-
mits unlimited debate at really seems
to be the opinion of some senator's" says
the organ, that the people care nothing
about this measure"
The fact is the people care a great deal
about "this measure" but not in the wav
the Tribune pretends they do. They know
that it is a measure to increase their bur
dens and they are opposed to it. They are,
therefore, thankful that there are few re-
the democratic senators to modify it so that
it would be less burdensome. The Tribune
pretends that the whole country is demand
ing its passage Immediately. 1t ought to
show little more respect for the inteli-
gence of the people, The only ones who are
clamoring for the bill are the rich monopo-
lists, and they want it because it would
enable them to make greater profits.
The republican senator's who are assisting
to obstruct the bill are getting words of en-
couragement from their constituents, and
the chances are they will remain firm in the
! position they have taken. They understand
that they are defending the people against
a scheme for robbing them Notwithstand-
ing the free useof the party lash, therefore,
by the party organ, the tariff bill will not
be rushed through the senate at railroad
speed by means Of gag rule.

Senator Jones, Of Nevada. is a careless
man. He left the Hoffman house, New York,
the other day to take the 2:30 o'clock train
for Washington. He was in cab and had
three valises. He stopped on the way to
buy some cigars. When he returned to the
cab he missed one of he valises The valise
contained about $50, 600 worth of negotiable
bonds. The senator postponed his trip TO
Washington and went at once to police
headquarters, where he made known his
loss. On his return to the Hoffman house
he was informed that bis valiss was there
1t had dropped out of the cab and driver
Of an Adams express wagon had picked it

Editors must first live before they can be
philanthropisbs they cannot afford to pub
lish what they cannot sell" said the Rev J.
Howard Hobbs of Jamaica, l. l., in a SER
mon on newspapers. and he took a most
sensible view of the matter. The whole
thing resolves itself down to a business
proposition. Editors are not publishing
newspapers for their health. AS the preacher
aptly remarked: ITO be successful the
journalist must publish what the people are
hungry for. If he ignores this general
appetite the chances are that he must exc
out a struggling existence or close up

The republicans in congress have a good
deal to say about majority rule, yet they
do not represent the majority of the people
of the United States. The republicans in
the Senate and House represent 5,44O,2l6 of
the 1892, $50 citizens who voted when this
administration was elected, being in the
minority 10y 5l1,9 $50 votes. 1t is wrong,
therefore, to say that this is a government
of the people, by the people aud for the
people. 1t is a government by speaker.

our exports to those islands began increas-

increase would follow reciprocity with the

GORDON ON ONE BALLOT.
THE GOVERNOR SURE OF A MA
JORITY IN BOTH HOUSES.

Calhoun's Supporters Basing Their
Hopes On the Slimest Possible Chance.
The Constitution Tells Why 1t OPP
poses the Governor - The Country
Rallying to Gordon.
ATLANTA, Nov. 16.-The country IL be-
ginning to be heard from at the capital
through visitors who are rapidly congre-
eating here to share in the anticipated ex-
citement of Tuesdays election. Reports
from such quarters as have been heard
from represent the rural districts as being
In great flutter over the nomination of the
Terminals candidate. Said q member to-
night: 81 hear of nothing but loud in
dlgnation from the country, and it can be
depended on that the people are not going
to put up with the election of railroad
monopolist to the Senate" The Gordon
men tonight ara confident to a degree tn at
impresSes locker on as dangerous. They
regard the fight as 50 thoroughly whipped
that it is sure to remain whipped. Over
confidence among his supporters is Gen.
Gordon's only danger.
GoRDoN's MEN CLAIM 50 VOTES.
They figure eighty-nine votes in the
House on bedrock calculation, and in
their cooler moments much larger figures
are quoted. This is the smallest estimate,
and seems as reliable as campaign lists ever
get to be. Adding the Senate's undoubted
twenty-seven, the total, it will be seen, is
no larger than that reported days ago, and
yet more than dozen members have since
declared openly against Mr.. Calhoun The
explanation is two-fold. Until after the
caucus domination no reliable figures could
be obtained, and, undoubtedly, a great deal
Of reckless arith netic was quoted. In the
second place, some members who will not
vote for Mr.. Calhoun are instructed against
Gov. Gordon and so their names are omit
ted in the present totals.
WILL WIN ON THE FIRST BALLOT.
1t is now confidently claimed that Gov.
Gordon will be elected on the first ballot
The Calhoun men base their hope on the
failure of this prediction, aud the unsteadi-
ness they anticipate claim to in the Cor
don ranks as result. But no reason as yet
appears for regarding their forces bet
ter organized than Gov. Gordon's, unless it
be that the latter take too enthusiastic a
view Of their prospects.
CALHoUN's BoMBsHELL.
The bombshell threatened by Mr.. Cal
houn's supporters turned out to be only a
little explosion from the Constitutions ed
itorlal popgun, and has had no effect what
ever upon the senatorial situation. The
paper merely makes desperate attempt to
explain to the people, who are clamoring for
Gov. Gordon's election, why it insists on
knitting him. That is all, and there has
never been any particular mystery about
the matter. Che Constitution opposes Gov.
Gordon because the latter opposed the SEN
atorial aspirations of the late Henry W.
