Progress of the Harbor Movement
The canvsss Of the country in behalf OF
deeper water in our harbor has beei con-
Quoted with skill and energy, and senu-
ment has been created in favor OF Civ
ing Savannah what she wants and what sne
so greatly needs for the accommodation OF
her commerce and the development OF her
commercial advantages that will have a
DO xerful influence in congress- Nowhere
| as there been found hostality to our deeper
water movement. On the contrary, every
where it has received encouragement
TIE fight for deeper water, however, has
only Just begun. The battle must be
| fought in the halls OF congress. It Will re-
ouire skiIlful ge 1eralshIp and persistent
effort TO win there. The difficulty will not
be to get congre smen to agree that deeper
water is a necessity ct Savannah, but to
give Savannah such an advantage over
other places as was given TO Galveston by
the last congress. The pressure in behalf
OF large appropriations for other improve
ments will be very great. and each improve
ment will have influential supporters.
Fortunately Savannah will have practi-
cally the support of the entire country. The
resolutions and expressions Of approval
which have been gathered from many
sources will force congressman to acknowl~
edge that in helping Savannah they will do
only what they have been virtually in
structed to do by their constituents. These
resolutions aud letters from trade bodies,
gatherings of farmers, alliance conventions
and prominent officials will be almost like q
command from the whole people.
But We must not fesl that we have done
enough, and that we can afford 70 relax
our effort. The campaign in congress must
be carefully planned and conducted with an
earnestness and a tenacity of purpose that
will not admit Of failure. Every avenue by
which help can be gained must be followed,
and every legitimate means by which inter-
est in cur Improvement can be aroused or
infusncs for it procured must be sought
and made use Of.
Savannah is united and profoundly In
earnest IN this deep water matter. There is
noe one Of her citizens who does not recog-
ntzs and appreciate It's importance. All that
sne does for it, therefore, will be done in
such a whole-souled way as to make a
favorable impression upon congress and as
sist her representatives in that body. Her
compaign for deeper water having such
earnest support from her own people, and
being so heartily Endorsed throughout the
country, is certain to be successful.

Through the death of Faster Stratton the
sheriff of an interior county Of New York
believes that he will recover the long-lost
Charlie Ross whom an adopted son of the
dead man is believed to be. This opinion
has been strengthened by the mysterious
way in which Stratton got the lad and his
subsequent reticsnce about him even to his
own wife, who is said to have separated
from him because he refused to crafty her
curiosity on that score. and also by the
large number of letters from the father oil

Not Much to Ask.

A stout choleric-looking man hurried into q
street car, on day when the rain was pouring
in torrents, says the Saturday Summary, and
glared angrily about evidently much displeased
that there was no seat for him, although there
were plenty of other people, clutching at the
straps, or swaying about, with more or less
cheerful countenances.
With snort of dispeasure the man planted
himself in front of a meek and unoffending
spipster who was squeezed tightly into one
corner of the car, and placed his umbrella,
from which was running perfect stream of
water, directly on one of her feet
She looked up at him in mild dismay, but he
stared straight over her head, with a most un-
pleasant expression.
After moment or two she said in a clear
though perfectly courteous tone:
would you be kind enough, sir, to remove
your umbrella to my other foot for a moment,
so that may empty my rubberf"
Every one at that end of the car smiled, ex.
cept the man, who beat a retreat to the plat
form, without SO mnch as saying: az beg your
pardon"

Temperance OF the Grip.

The grip has not yet attracted a great
deal Of attention in this country this sea-
son, but there appears to be a strong proba-
bility that it will Several deaths from it
have occurred in New York city, and it is
believed TO be gaming head way there. II
is epidemic in portions OF Connecticut and
has been or several weeks. Last Wednesday
there were three deaths from it in Nor witch,
and many in that city are suffering from an
attack Of it. An unfortu ate Phase OF the
disease is that in some places it is accom-
panied by scarlet fever, diphtheria AID
typhoid malaria Schools in some counties
valence of these diseases. While the grip is
not epidemic throughout the whole state,
cases Of it are appearing in all parts Of it.
In some Of the countries of Europe the
disease is causing great uneaslness. In Ber-
lin it is much more virulent than it was in
1885, 1t is estimated that there have been
40, 900 cases of it since Nov. l.
The disease is travelling about the same
course it did in 1889 and 1890. 1t started in
Russia, moved to France, and then to Ger
many and England, and finally to this coun-
try. 1t has not spread to any considerable
extent in this country as yet. and it is to be
hoped that it will not. There is no known
way to quara tine against it. however
But something can be done to render it less
virulent. By enforcing good sanitary reg
ulations it may be prevented from becom-
ing epidemic.
When this country was suff .ring from
the first visitation Of the disease it was pre-
dieted that there would be another vista
ton of it the following year, and that then
it would disappear altogether. Oaly part
OF this prediction proved to be true. The
disease came a second time, and now we
are having it third time. And 1t may
| come again next year. The conclusion,
relative to the inmber of visitations, drawn
| from experience with the disease in previou;
| visitations, is not reliable.
| But it does not cause much alarm in this
country. Physicians are better prepare C
for treating it successfully than when i
first made Its appearance.

Further information from the Presidents
thrifty Iowa relatives at Mount Pleasant
now reveals the fact that Mrs Russell
Harrison has not been there at all But her
enterprising commercial relatives merely
gotup a wax figure to show of their stock in
trade and took occasion to perpetrate what
they call a pleasantly at the expense of
their kinswoman by advertising their rela-

appear surprised that the President should
be offended. Still they got tremendous
advertisement out of the scheme and that
was probably all they were after.
