Notwithstanding all of the strong pressure
that was brought to bear upon the governor
Of Michigan by friends Of Gen. Alger and
the grand army, he has decided, just as the
MORNING NEWS predicted he would, to
veto the legislative appropriation of $50, 900
for entertaining the Grand Army visitors at
Detroit next August. No doubt but repub-
lican demagogues will contend that he does
it simply because he happens to be a demo-
GRAFT But fair-minded people cannot fail
to discern in his action higher and more
worthy motive. Taxes are collected pre-
sumably for the expenses of maintaining
the state government, and are not subject
to the sudden drafts of even the legislature
for the mere indulgence Of caprice or the
entertainment Of such organizations as
majority of the members may happen to
favor. While they have the power to vote
appropriations for almost any eccentric
purpose they may conceive the indulgence
in such whims is fragrant abuse of their
powers. It is no more correct for them to
pay the expenses OF a reunion of the Grand
Army than such an assemblage of the
Knights of Labor or any other organization.
Such expenditures of public money are
generally only bid for political favor, and
therefore are simply waste of the funds
thus expended.

Suppression of African Slavery.

According to a correspondent of the Bos-
ton Post the particular objection to the
ratification of that international agreement
known as the Congo treaty for the suppress
sion of the slave trade IN Africa was that
it might possibly involve the United States
in some sort of oom plications with the
other powers participant in the treaty.
Therefore the government at Washington
simply allowed the offered opportunity to
join with other great nations in so laudable
an endeavor to lapse for lack Of direct at
tention.
Although it has always been the policy of
this country from the foundation Of the
republic to abjure all sorts of entangling al
liances with foreign and particularly monar-
chial powers that might by some unforeseen
contingency involve US in an international
dispute it is doubtful if we could consistently
afford to ignore overtures toward the sup
preston Of a condition of humanity abroad
upon which we have taken such strong
ground at home as to shed the lifeblood of
thousands of our worthiest citizens in order
TO establish the principle. If that is to be re-
garded as a criterion Of our belief then the
oNOAOolSC IA GU 4Ot1lOSo q Possibility OI D6-
coming involved with other nations of a
more aggressive tendency must appear
somewhat selfish. 1t gives us the appear
ance of being unwilling to sustain our estao-
lished national belief In the justice of hu-
man freedom when the question is regarded
in the abstract.
In the whole proposition there was but
one phase which should deter us from an
tering into immediate and hearty co-opera-
ton with the powers united in so worthy a
cause, and that is that the majority of them
hold conquest and the acquisition Of terri
tory in Africa as one OF the chief compen-
Stations of their concerted philanthropy.
Unless this object shall be explicitly
abandoned we are fully warranted in hold
ing aloof from even SO worthy a crusade as
the proposed treaty might reasonably be
supposed to provide for.

Sayannah's Suburbs.

Savannah has quite a number of pleasant
suburbs. Indeed. there are few other cities
in the country that are moro fortunate in
this respect. These suburban places are re-
sorts for Savannah people nearly all the year
around who desire to get away from bust
ness for few hours recreation. Thunder
bolt, White Bluff, Isle of Hope, Montgom-
cry, Beaulieu, Burnside, Rose Dsw, Will
mington Island aud other places on the salt
water rivers have their attractions, aud
they are ali near enough to Savannah to be
olassed as her suburbs.
Several OF these places are connected with
the city by railroads, but. with the excap-
tion of Thunderbolt, it is doubtful if the
railway facilities are halfway satisfactory.
The two principal highways leading out of
the city to the suburbs are under control
of corporations that exact a tax from all
who use them. This condition of affairs
not only retards the development and
growth Of the suburban resorts, but also OBJ
structs the Improvement of the lands which
are tributary to these highways.
Something ought to be done to open free
roads to all parts of the county. Until
there are such highways the improvement
of those lands of the county which can be
brought under profitable cultivation will be
slow.
1t is in the power Of the county commits.
sioners to do something toward relieving
the people of some of the burden which the
| toll roads impose upon them. Let them
construct good she'll road through the
| county. between the two existing shell
roads, connecting Savannah with the most
important OF her suburbs. The cost of such
a road would not be great, and the benefits
that would accrue from it would be i'm :
i mense.
A committee is now trying to get the
rights Of way for suoh road, and if the
property owners along the line of IL are
wise they will promptly give what the COM
mittee asks.
And it would pay the county to construct
bridges from the mainland to Will
mington and Skidaway Islands II
that were done there would be an i'm
mediate movement in the direction of
developing those sections of the county.
The spirit of improvement that is beginning
to show itself should be encouraged by the

True to Cen. Jackson.

There used to be an old fellow up In my
county," said Judge Upton Young to the st.
Louis RepGbtic, who was famous in the early
days as a militia colonel. AS O drill master he
was perfect and in discipline very severe. Just
before the war ne had a good militia company,
and he closed every drill with these orders:
COMPANY, attention! All who favor Gen
jackson for President of the United States three
PAGES to the front Forward, march,
1.-THE entire command always voted. But one
day one OF the soldiers got it into his head that
Gen. jackson was dead, and SO at the next drill
when the colonel had given his customary order
this fellow stood stock STILL This insubordina-
ton created a nlomentary panic. but the colonel
recovered himself, and, with his face purple with
rage, shouted:
Jonathan Thompson attention! You vote for
Gen jackson or I'll have you court-martialed
and shot, sir. Three PAGES to the front, John
Thompson. Forward. march,
And you bet John Thompson marched-white
and scared as any pet rabbit you ever saw After
which the colonel said
~ have the honor of announcing to this com
pany that Gen Jackson has again been elected
President of the United States magnani-
mously.'"

Kansas lawlessness.

In some portions Of Kansas the farmers
are using force to prevent their property
from being sold for debt. They do not seem
TO realize that the course they are pursuing
will drive capital out OF their state and
make il impossible for them to borrow
money even at exorbitant rates Of interest.
According TO a dispatch from Topeka
about forty Of them in Washington town.
ship. Jewell county, on Sunday night drove
Oscar Kinlesperger from a farm which had
been purchased at a sheriffs sale under a
mortgage foreclosure, and reinstated Joseph
/ Fl. Bennett, who had owned the farm, and
who had been elected by the sheriff.
| 1t seems that Bennett two years ago bor-
rowed Of young woman, a school teacher,
money with which to improve his farm. He
failed to pay the interest at the end of the
first year. and, as the school teacher couldn't
afford to loan her money without interest,
she ordered her mortgage foreclosed. The
farm was purchased by firm of lawyers.
The farmers Of Washington township eon-
cluded that Bennett should have his farm,
notwithstanding the fact that he failed to
pay the mortgage on 1t or the interest due
on the mortgage.
No doubt the farmers in some parts of
Kansas find it difficult, If not impossible, to
pay the interest due on the mortgages they
have given on their farms, but it is not
right that they should saddle their mis-
fortunes upon those who have loaned them
money. They are bound TO keep their con-
tracts if they can, and if they cannot they
must take the legal consequences. 1t is no
doubt true that many of them have con-
tracted to pay higher rate of
interest than they can afford,
but because they have done so they are not
justified in using force to evade compliance
with their obligations. Such a course, if
persisted In, would destroy confidence and
bring business to standstill. II the farmers
fail to pay their debts and resist legal efforts
to collect them they will soon find it i'm
possible to collect what is due them or to
get credit. Under such a condition of
affairs their condition would soon be much
worse than it is
This case in Jewell county isonly one of
a number Of similar cases which have oc-
CURED recently in Kansas. Some OF the
farmers in that state seem to misinterpret
the agitation relating to economic questions
which has been going on there for year or
more. 1t does not mean that farmers shall
repudiate their debts and resist by force the
legal efforts to make them comply with
their obligations. And yet some Of the
Kansas farmers are acting as if they thought
otherwise

Apologize Mea.
From Temple Bar .

Glide not your spouse because he sings
OF half g hundred loves,
OF Daphne's hair, and eyes, and rings,
or Chloe's fans and gloves;
This is a mercsnary time,
And these degenerate days,
And so your spouse must sling his rhyme,
Because-because it pays.
Think him not fickle as the wind,
Nor deem bis heart untrue,
Because he rhymes a thousand times,
And not one verse to you;
Leave him to turn them as he will
A wife such homage spurns;
You have his heart, and. better still,
The guineas that he earns.
