Savannah's Superb Prospect.


The most Of the new railroads that are
now projected or are being built in the south,
and about all the combinations of southern
railroads that are proposed, will tend to
benefit Savannah The rapid development
of the resources of Georgia. Alabama and
Florida, and the growing desire Of the west
for seaboard outlet ON the South Atlantic
coast. insures the building of great COM
mercial city on the South Atlantic coast,
and that city is certain to be Savannah.
In fact, Savannah is already great COM
mercial city, but by no means as great as
she will be within very few years. No
other South Atlantic port has so good
a harbor, and no other one has the prospect
Of having so good a one as she will hav e
within the next few years.
And Savannah has railroad advantages
such as few other cities of her Importance
have, and these advantages are being steadily
increased. her railroads and their con-
nections make an immense territory tribu-
tary to her. There is no season of the year
now when her wharves do not present q
very busy appearance. And her wharves
are of immense extent. And they can be
greatly extended. There are miles and
miles of river front where wharves could
be built. The day is not distant when
there will be great wharves on Hutchinson's
Island aud along the river front for miles
below the lowest point at which whar yes
are now built.
And the people are waking up to the ad-
vantages which their city possesses. They
are investing in real estate, constructing
street railroads, and are doing great dea
of building. They believe that Savannah will
have at least 100, 900 population by 1900, and
perhaps more, and they are making invest
ments in accordance with that belief.
That the city is growing is shown by the
fact that there are not near enough dwell
ing houses to supply the demand for them
People are coming into the city ell the time
hundred or more houses of the kind desired
were offered for rent now they would al
be taken q uickly.
And when the railroads, which are K
have their headquarters in this city, and
which are nov being built, are completed
the demand for dwelling houses will bt
much greater even than it is now. Il
would be the part of wisdom to prepare fol
great increase in population. That there
will be great increase there can be nc
doubt whatever.
Already since the combination between
the Gould system and the system of the
Richmond Terminal, thousands of tons o.
freight have been turned in this direction
The Ocean Steamship Company has now al
that it can do, and the possibility is that il
the near future it will have to increase tn,
number Of its steamers. Savannah is NOV
ing ahead and her people rejoice

Mahone's Latest Vancouver.

The newspaper reports about that recent
reconciliation and love-feast alleged to have
taken place in Washington between Malone
and Langston will seem just trifle anus
ng to those who know anything of the
peculiar methods of the little Virginia
political intriguant Going down upon his
marrow bones after the manner described
to a negro politician, and rather a light
weight at that, whom he has beaten at every
turn, is not bit like Malone. Every one
who has any acquaintance with him knows
that Mahone's leading characteristic is hist
stubbornness.
Were he ever so much disposed to make
overtures, it is decidedly more likely that
he would approach some one of potent in
fluence, and not a nonentity whom he bad
literally obliterated from the political map,
SO to speak, as he did Langston last fall.
No one ever knew Malone to manifest
muchaof a tendency to collect his cast-of
political appliances. Therefore it does not
sound reasonable that he Is beginning now.
If Malone did not want Langston before
he had crushed the professional negro and
destroyed his influence, why should he want
him nowa There is only one possible reason
for it, and that is that President Harrison
may have promised Malone larger share
of Virginia patronage on condition that he
should harmonic all warning elements in
the state, and thus secure an undivided Har-
rison delegation to the next republican con-
vention. In that event the weakest faction
of negroes would have to be taken into &C
| count, 80 that the President might boast to
the race of his solicitous consideration for
their interests. But all Of this talk of the
fond harmony that resulted from the inter
view referred to is mere rubbish. That sort
of gush is not like Malone at ALL
Should the negroes of Virginia become SO
elated as to "bank" upon the result Of
Langston's negotiations to any considerable
extent, they would finally awaken to find
themselves previously disappointed. Prom
ises are about all they will get out of it.
Some of them are quite radiant and gor-
geous, no doubt, but all more or less empty.
