An Administration Play.

Deacon Wanamaker is shocked-shocked
as a deacon who is at the head of Sunday
SCHOOL class would be at things theatrical A
couple Of irreverent newspaper ruen have
written play. aud the fact they have en-
titled it the limited States Mail" may be
considered sufficient ground by Deacon
Wanamaker to warrant injunction pr oceed-
ings There is only one duly authorized
United States mail, and all others are
frauds, but the title of the play is not
its most Objectionable feature in the opin-
ion of the deacon. 1t is a ''satirical mu ST.
cal farce comedy" which has for its theme
the workings of a fourth-class postoffice.
John Moneymaker is the name of the post
master, and Deacon Wanamaker is to do
duty as the actors model. But what pains
and grieves thesdeacon most is that Hobart
Brooks Washington CORES pondent, who
is married to Mrs. Harrison's niece, is one
of the authors of the play.
The deacon has brought all his gift
cottage influence to bear at the white house,
and Mrs. Harrison has been requested to
prevail upon her erring relative to abandon
his evil design, but all arguments have had
no influence upon the young nan, who has
assured his frantic aunt that her
whole family, as well as Mr.. Wanamaker's,
would be considerably provided with pri-
vate boxes free when the comedy is per-
formed in Washington. Mr.. Brooks rea
tives might have overlooked his connection
with goddess theatrical enterprise in which
feminine dancers in abbreviated skirts will
figure and atrocious jokes will be perpe-
trated, but the burlesquing of Deacon
Wanamaker they could never forgive. And,
it is said, the doors of the executive m IN
sion have been closed to Mr.. Brooks.
Shocking Deacon Wanamaker will be
represented as Mr.. Moneymaker, the editor
of country paper, who has secured the
postmaster ship of his village after an excit-
ing struggle, and who signalizes his intro
duction into Office by the appointment of
his daughter as chief clerk and her cousins
as letter carriers. The great bargain coun
! ter proprietor is to be taken off true to life
Deacon Wanamaker hardly appreciates the
comedy as much as do the enterprising Mr..
Brooks and his partner

Her blue eyes are dim with tear drops,
Her lips have forgot to smile

She has found lfe's gift burden,

THE TRADE REVIE w.

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 1s90-91
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
Savannah and increased her trade greatly.
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
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 see 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
That method is liberal advertising.
The MORNING NEWS proposes to make
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 copy of the trade
review to each subscriber to the WEEKLY
NEWS, as we'll 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 tn
last year. 1t will be sent to thousands o.
people who are interested in Savannah
welfare and prosperity.
The Trade Review edition will be ISSUED
Sept T. Space in its columns can be OBJ

An effort will be made in the Mississippi
constitutional convention to incorporate in
the constitution provision against the con-
vict lease system in that state. The convict
lease system prevails in nearly every south
ern state. The MORNING NEWS recently
pointed out the reason for its existence. It
came of temporary necessity, and has ex-
listed ever since. The people of the south
cannot afford to maintain in idleness an
army of convicts, and if Mississippi should
make change n the system. which would
not entail additional burdens on the tax
payers or throw the convicts iuto competl-
ton with honest labor, her example, I'M
doubtedly, would be followed by every
other state in the south.

No Force Bill This Session.

The resolution which Senator QUAY
offered in the Senate on Tuesday, and which
was reported in our dispatches yesterday, to
consider only the general appropriation
bills. bills relating to public buildings, pub
lie lands, pensions and concurrent reso-
buttons; also. to take the vote on the tariff
bill on Aug. 80 and to postpone all other
bills until next session, looks very much as
if enough republican senators were
opposed to the tariff bill to prevent
its passage, at least at this session. Ac-
cording to our dispatches this morning this
resolution of Senator Quay, which has been
referred to the committee on rules, will be
considered by the republican senatorial
caucus tonight, and it is probable that it
will be approved. 1t is safe to say
that Senator Quay would not have
offered it if he had not been satisfied that
there was no probability of the passage of
the force bill. He is understood to be op-
posed to that bill. but he would hardly have
taken the step he did had he not been salts
fed that he had the support of a very con-
siderable number of the republican senator's.

A FORMER PITTsBURGER
Nominated for Congressman From the
Ninth Missouri District.

Nominated for Congressman From the
Ninth Missouri District.
From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.l
The Ninth District Republican Convention
at st. Louis nominated Thomas ]. Prosser. de-
feating Congressman Nathan Frank. Thomas
]. Prosser is a railroad contractor and bridge
builder and is reported wealthy his estate be-
ing worth, it is claimed, in the neighborhood- of
S500000. His business as general contractor
keeps him out of the city large part of the
time, and his acQuaintances say that when he
is in the city he spends his time at his resi-
dence, 422S Lndell avenue. He is 40 years of
age and has been living in the city ten years.
He was born in Pittsburg, Pa, in 1850, and in
1863, at the age OF IL, left mis- home and entered
the Sixty-second Pennsylvania Regiment as
drummer boy. At the close of the war, accord
ing to the statements of his friends he learned
the carpenters trade and worked at it until he
saved enough money to take course in the
university at Adrian. Mich. He studied en-
gineering and mechanics there and has been
successful bridge builder and contractor for
about ten years.
When he came to st. Louis. his friends say,
he had just stopped working as a S2-a-day car
penter. His success began in earnest when he
made St. Louis his home He is married, and
is a relative by marriage to Assistant General
Manager George c. Smith, of the Gould South
west system. In his speech accepting the NOM
ination he said he had consented to the use of
mis- name at the request of number of business
men and Republicans of the Ninth district.
and that he would make an earnest campaign
to secure his election.

THE SPIRIT OF CHANGE,

There is plenty of evidence of tine politi-
ca unrest which is abroad in both State and
Nation, and which is confined within no
particular party lines. Yesterday two
Pennsylvania Congressman, whose fealty
and services to the organization of their
faith are beyond question, were deliberately
defeated for the denominations which they
had openly sought. And this, too, in a
manner which showed an entire disregard
of the possible consequences.
One case-the victory of McAleer over
Vaux in Philadelpnia-has been fore
shadoved, but the other will be a genuine
surprise 20 the general public. That the
Chairman Of the Democratic State Com
mittee, closely connected with ex-senator
Wallace by personal and political ties, and
selected by Pattison and his friends to
manage the pending campaign, should be
thus Unexpectedly wounded in the house of
his friends is indeed most singular. Yet the
telegraph announces that on the 14th ballot
in the Twenty-eIghth district Congressional
Convention, G. L. hrebbs was nominated to
succeed Hon. James Kerr, who was unable
10 muster sufficient votes to secure al in
dOrsement.
1t is too early to judge the effect of these
particular events. The statement is made
that MIR. Vaux will resent the alleged in
justice toward him by figuring as an inde-
pendent candidate. Should he take such a
step the contest in Randail's old district
this fall can hardly fail to prove an inter-
esting one.

MR.. MORLEY,- EXPERIENCE,

For once Mr.. Baliour's police const2bu-
larry, whose chief function during the past
seven years has been to help the ordinary
baIliffs and process servers in collectins :
the exorbitant rents of the landlords, have
made mistake which will cost the Tory
party dearly.
At Tipperary, on Wednesday, Mr.
Morley had chance to note the insolence
which is habitual with the Irish police in
dispensing the common people who gather
for any public pretext. He also saw the
heads of several ofhis Nationalist parliamen-
tarv colleagues cracked right and left BY the
constables' clubs, because OF the mere as
sertion of the right of the people to meet in
public. Mr.. Morley, who is already tower
Of strength TO the Liberal cause, and the
finest orator in Great Britain, is now enjoy
ing what appears to be his first ocular
demonstration of the amenities between
police and populace under Tory rule.
Shocked as he was by the brutal assertion
of physical power in his own presence, he
will be likely to speak of the matter in
Parliament and on the platform in England
in such tones and terms as must create a
sensation which Mr.. Balfour will regret.

NO TIME LIKE THE OLD TIME.

There is no time like the old time, when you and
were young,
When the buds of April blossomed ard the birds
of springtime sung!
The gardens brightest glories by summer suns are
nursed
But oh, the sweet, sweet violets, the flowers that
opened first!
There is no place like the old place, where you and
were born,
Where we lifted first our eyelids on the snlendors
of the morn,
From the milk-white breast that warmed us, from
the clinging arms that bore.
Where the dear eyes glistened o,er us, that will
look on us no more!
There is no friend like the old friend, who has
shared our morning days,
No greeting like his welcome, no homage like his
praises
Fame is the scentless sunnower, with gaudy crown
But Friendship is the breathing rose with sweets
in every fold,
There is love like the old love, that we courted
in our pride.
Though our leaves are falling, falling, and we're
fading side by side;
There are blossoms all around us, with the colors
of our dawn,
And we live in borrowed sunshine when our day-
star is Withdrawn.
There are no times like the old times-they shall
never be forgot,
There is no place like the old place-keep green
the dear old spot!
There are no friends like our old friends-may
heaven prolona their lives!
There are no loves like our old loves-God bless
our loving wives!
s-0tteer Wendell Holmes.
