A Verv Weightv Question.

1t is not often that Surrogate Ransom is
caught mapping while on the bench, says the
New York Times. Mistakes, big and little, on
the part of careless counsel are every day nipped
by him in the bud. A few DAYS ago, however,
the surrogate allowed a very peculiar statement
to go unchallenged, and much amusement re-
suited therefrom. ..-+.....
1t was pathetic case that was up before the
surrogate. man had died depressing the dying
wish that his little 6yearold boy should be cared
for by his stepmother. The stepmother was
anxious 10 be appointed the little fellows
guardian, but the grandfather ana grandmother
stepped in and asserted their rights. Counsel
for tho mother asserted that it was sad fact
that the grandfather was in the habit of giving
the child beer to drink. Counsel for the grand
parents declared as a set-off that the people
were Germans and that the mother herself gave
her 2year-old child beer.
1t thus became pretty nice question to de-
eide whether mother or grandparents were bet
ter fitted to have the boy. Evidently thinking
the grandparents might be tottering on the
brink of the grave he asked how old the grand
father was.
About 5O.' answered the grandparents
counsel.
And the mother?''
about 81"
''And how old was the father when he died?'
about 50 or 40"
HIM" unused the surrogate. en- take the
papers,"
He hasn't decided the weighty question yet.

TOO Poor to be coneressm IN.

Congressmen are all the time complain
ing that they find it difficult to live on their
salaries. A year or SO ago Senator Caace.
of Rhode Island, resigned because his salary
wasn't large enough to enable him 20 live
as he wanted 10, and it is said that Repre-
sentatives Allen. of Mississippi, and Perkins,
of Kansas, will not seek denominations be-
cause they cannot afford to be congressman.
There are congressman who save money
out of their salaries, but they don't spsnd
much to get reelected and they don't live
very luxuriOusly in Washington. They
live in boarding houses or the cheap hotels,
and they make one suit of clothes last
year or more. They don't &C >ept invita-
tions to dinners and they don't give dinners.
They may render their constituents just as
good service as those who live upon a more
liberal scale, but they don't get much
pleasure out of life.
1t costs a Congressman q good deal more
to live in Washington now than it did ten
or fifteen years ago if he sees anything of
the social life of the city. If he has a
family the millinsrs' and dresSmaxers' bills
make a big hole in his salary. The city is
filling up with rich men from all parts
of the country, and they set a pretty
rapid pace for social life. Entertainments
follow one another in quick succession, and
it costs a great deal of money to keep up
with them. A congressman, however hard
he may try, cannot keep out of the range of
their influence if he has grown daughters,
or a wife who takes al Interest in Social
matters.
The cost Of living in Washington is not
great-that is the necessaries of life can be
obtained there as cheaply as in any other
city-but the luxuries are a heavy drain
upon the pocket. and luxuries are what
most congressman think they must have
after they have been in public life a little
while. They want to keep up with those
who have plenty of money, particularly if
they get into what is called the social
swim" and they are pretty certain to get
into that sooner or later.
DJubtleSs congressman will soon begin to
think of increasing their salaries. Indeed,
they are already beginning to think about
it. They would vote now to double their
salaries if they dared to do SO. They are
afraid that if they should vote themselves
a thousand or two thousand dollars a year
more the most of them would stand very
good chance of having their public careers
cut short. They are hoping, however, that
public sentiment will gradually become
more liberal with respect to salaries, aud
that within very few years it will be so
changed that it will be possible to increase
their pay without calling out an indig nant
protest from the people.

The Greatast Citv.

1t is the proud distinction of this country
to lead in everything, but while it is the
greatest country in the world it cannot
boast of the greatest city. For years, how
ever, leading men in New York and Brook
Ign have been discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of
consolidating those two cities, and when the
Brooklyn bridge was built it was
regarded as the first link in that bond of
union which would eventually merge the
two into ore The scheme met with very
little opposition, and encouraged by the
favorable outlook for its ultimate success
the projectors conceived the idea of consol-
idation on a more gigantic scale, including
all the municipalities around New York
harbor.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the state legislature, which appointed a
commission to inquire into the expediency
of consolidation. The commissioners held
their first meeting a few days ago. AL
though no action has been taken it is under
derstood that there is a uuani-
nous sentiment in the board
in favor of consolidating New York,
Brooklyn, Long Island City and Staten
Island under one municipal government
The city would then extend twenty miles
in all directions from City Hall park. At
the present ratio of increase, from 1000, 900
to 1900, 900 inhabitants would occupy that
area in twenty years, which would make New
York by far the greatest city in the world.
A mayor OF such city would indeed be
regarded as great man, and the Office of
as much Importance as that Of the governor
of a state. Proud New Yorks ambition
would be reached if she outnumbered in
size and population her rival across the sea-
This is an era of consolidation, and other
cities are making strides toward annexa-
ton. Chicago has already gathered in
several of her suburbs, and is reaching out
for other outlying places to add to her size
and numbers.
The question of governing these large
municipalities will be one of the great
problems to be solved in the future. Their
influences will guide the destinies Of the
world.

Help the Enum orators.

Every citizen of Savannah who feels the
least interest in her growth and prosperity
desires that the census which is now being
taken shall snow that she has had a great
increase in her population since the census
of 1880 was taken. There should be dis
position, therefore. to assist the census
enumerators in getting the name
of every resident of the CITY,
The enumerators complain that they
are very often INSTRUCTED in their
work by persons who are unwilling to fur
nish them information not only about those
who are members oil their own families
but also about absent neighbors. This is all
wrong. The enumerators ought to be helped
in every posi- lie way, and people should
make special effort to have those enumer-
ated whom they now to be absent tempo
rarily.
If the census should not show the city's
population to be as large as it is thought to
be many will say that the enumerators failed
to do their work properly that they missed
hundreds of citizens, and those who are now
Indifferent whether or not a complete
census is taken will be first to
utter complaints - of this kind. Let
us give the enumerators every possible
encouragement. If there are those who
have been missed let them report to the
superintendent of this district. If any one
knows of persons who left the city before
the taking of the census began let HIM bring
the fact to the attention of the enumerator
of his district. 1t is to the interest of every
resident of Savannah that the enumeration
of her population should be correct and
complete.

Can Rabies be Cured?

Quite number of persons have been Bit
ten by dogs in different parts of this couu-
try recently. and interest in the question,
can hydrophObia be cured is revived. At
tention has lately been attracted to the
matter by DR.. GIbier. who has opened an in
stitute in New York, where he applies
the Pasteur treatment to patients One
case, the result of which will be of espe-
cial interest to Georgiars, is that
of a 7-year-old boy from Augusta,
who has been placed under the physicians
care. The boy was bitten June T. and his
system will be filled with the doctors virus
before any symptoms of hydrophobia APP
pear. The dog which bit the boy is believed
TO have been mad, but immediate treatment
is expected to save the lads life
The Importance of immediate treatment
is not realized by every one who has been
bitten. Hydrophobia usually develops in
about sixty days. The sooner the treat
ment begins the better; there is no hope
after the symptoms appear. Those who
wait that long had better not waste their
time with NEGOTIATIONS. The Pasteur treat
ment is not painful. 1t is no
more than being vaccinated and
less tedious. Judge Masterson of Texas,
whose case attracted particular attention.
and who received the required
fifteen inoculations has been dis
missed, and it is thought is now
safe. Seven little boys from st. Joseph,
Mo-, will have completed their course of
treatment very soon. They are all well
with the exception of one little fellow, who
has the mumps. All these lost no time in
placing themselves under immediate treat
ment.
A sufficient number of persons have now
been treated by DIR. Gibier to test
the merits of the Pasteur cure. If any of
those discharged from the institute should
now die Of hydrophobia it would cast
doubt upon the treatment. and if, of all
those treated, none should have the dread
disease, it would be fair TO conclude that the
NEGOTIATIONS saved them, and that there is a
pretty sure way of preventing rabies.
