short-sighted Statesmen.

Senator Edmunds and some of the other
short-sighted statesmen at Washington arc
reported as saying that the appropriating
of SIC, 600, 600 Cor rivers and harbors in the
face of threatened deficiency in tho treas
ury is an outrageous proceeding. They
do not take into account the fact that the
pending bill covers appropriations for two
years, and they also forget that there would
not now be any danger of a deficiency if
the pension burden had not been increased
about $4,000, 600 year on the demand of
the Washington pension claim sharks and
the Grand Army of the Republic.
Ten years ago the ablest men in the Re-
publican party asserted that the pension
burden would never be greater than S70,-
100000 year. II is now about Sl10,000,00
and will be $150,O00, 900 in less than year.
Is it more important that the public money
should be distributed in pensions, with the
view of strengthening the Republican party,
than that the rivers and harbors should be
so improved as to accommodate the rapidly
growing commerce of the country! Those
statesmen at Washington who are short
sighted seem to think So They expect, doubt
less, to induce the President to veto the
river and harbor bill 1t is to be hoped that
the President will not prove himself to be
as short-sighted as they are. He has made
good many mistakes since he has been
President but he could not make a greater
one than to veto the river and harbor bill

He Didn't Bother : hem.

Eben Fowler was good old Kansas farmer
whose particular hobby was to bring up his boys
right. He had two of them, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Jerry was the brightest, but net as
old as his brother, and as precedence of birth
rul, on farm as well as in royalty, the old
mans son Thomas was rather the favorite The
old gentleman daily lectu.ed his sons on the
cardinal evils of the world, mainly bearing on
temperance as the best of all principles. The
boys listened always and promised to heed
their old fathers advic, throughout their lives.

and one crisp December morning he reached
the city. He was not very warmly clad. aud
as he sCurried along he wondered if it would be
wrong for him to take a small Fl ger of whisky
He decided that he needed it. He was old and
could not contract the drink habit, he argued
to himself. He went in through one of the
doors of the great glide palaces and stepped
up to the bar. just as the old man called for
his drink the barkeeper saw him start.

Tho census returos from the southern
sta'es show that tney have had an aston

irving 70 Rulld = Quay.

The leading republican -gsns, following
the lead Of Speaker Reed, Senator Hoar
and the President. arr trying TO BULLDOG
Senator Quay and those other republican
senators who are opposed to taking Up the
force hill at this session. It is said that the
New York Tribune has th=e1tenei to re-
publish the cbargs against Senator Quay,
so widel. circulated recently IN democratic
newspapers. that he misused the public
moneys of Pennsylvania when ne was
treasurer of that state. Another repuh-
licEn organ says that the reason Senators
Quay and Cameron are opposed to the force
bill is that they are largo owners of lands
in Florida, and that their private interests
cause them to swerve from their plain
duty as senators. 1t talks about them in a
way to create the impression that they are
not much, if any. better Ran Doodle
takers.
Some of the southern republicans in con-
gTess-those who are in favor of the force
bill-are reported TO be frantically demand
ing the removal Of Senator Quay from the
chairmanshlp of the national republican
committee, and it is understood that tie
President has warned him, and all the
other senators who are believed to be OPP
posed to the force bill, that if they don't
wheel into line and support that bill they
will not be permitted to control any more
patronage in their respective states.
Senator Quay is getting a good many
kicks from those who used to be his warm
est admit ers and strongest supporters. The
( President and Speaker Reed seem to forget
that if il had not been for his wonderful
skill in distrt uting the republican corrup-
ton fund at the last national election
neither Of them would now occupy his pres.
ent position Gratitude, however, is some.
thing almost unknown among politicians.
But 1t does not now look as if the move
ment to compel Senator Quay and his fol-
lowers to abandon their position would be
successful. 1t is reported that one or two
of those from the newly admitted states are
slowing signs of weakness. They don't
want to l3se their share of tie patronage.
The fight between the two factions Of the
republicans is becoming interesting 1t will
soon be determined whether Senator Quay
has as much backbone as he has skill in
managing political campaign.

A Road That WIN Help savannah


Tie railroad between Atlanta and Knox
vile, that was ogened to traffic on Monday,
will help Savannah. 1t will make Savan-
nah the seaboard outlet for the growing
city of K knoxville and all the country tribu-
Jary to it between that city and Atlanta.
The road is 220 miles in lie 9Th, and is com
posed of the Marietta and North Georgia,
which runs to Murphy, N c., and the
Knoxville Southern, which runs from
Murphy to Knoxville.
The region traversed is rich in minerals,
and is, besides, a fine farming country
The local traffic will be large and will
steadily increase, and the through traffic
promises to be very great. The new line
will be to a great extent a feeder for the
Central railroad, as the Central affords it
the only outlet to the seaboard. The more
railroads there are in Georgia. or connect
ing with Georgia roads, the better it will
be for Savannah, because the products of
their territory will naturally seek the sea-
board at Savannah.
The Importance of deeper water in Savan-
nah harbor is daily becoming more ap-
parent Savannah's commerce Is increasing
rapidly. The vast region that is tributary
to her is undergoing an extraordinary
development, and the biggest ships afoat
will be needed to take its products to distant
markets.

1t is gratifying to learn from the Official
records that there has been u marked de-
crease in assertions from the army since
the new method of recruiting and other
reforms went into effect. For the first time
in many years the total number of deser-
tions the past year falls below 10 per cent.
of the total enlisted strength. There were
2.S13 deser tions in all, being SCI less than
for the previous year. The liberal spirit
that has prevailed In granting discharges
has doubtless served to bring about the re-
duction noted, so that it is hardly proper to
attribute the entire SOL decrease for the year
to the reforms instituted. But even allow
ing that some few of the men who were dis
charged would have deserted, the percent
age Of reduction is sufficient to warrant the
belief that the army's old sore is at last
yielding to treatment.

THE TRADE REVIEW.

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 Savannah's
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 1S90-9l
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
Savannah and increased her trade greatly.
But tho 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
justifies the opinion that the business season
will open e2rly 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 well as from the territory which has
heretofore been tributary to her. If our
merchants are wisethey 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 WEEK. Y
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 us.
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 Savannah's
welfare and prosperity.
The Trade Review edition will be issued
Sept. 4. Space in its columns can be OBJ
