The Savannah Harbor Question

There is no more impor tant question be-
fore the people of Georgia than that of the
improvement of Savannah harbor. They
are just beginning to understand how
deeply they are interested in it. To-day
Mr.. Pat Calhoun will explain to their rep
resentatives at Atlanta how great a saving
to the producers of the state deeper water
in Savannah harbor will effect. Although
he is the vice president Of the greatest rail-
road and steamship system of the south, of
which Savannah is the port. he is not more
concerned than the people of the state about
the improvement of Savannah harbor.
He has studied the matter care
fully, however, and he is pre-
pared to tell their representatives
how greatly the state would be benefited by
that Improvement and give satisfactory
reasons why the legislature should urge
congress to make an appropriation large
enough to complete it at the earliest possible
day.
The fact that the whole state is being
aroused over the question Of deeper water
at this port is a source Of great satisfaction
here, as elsewhere. And this oity and state
are not alone interested in this matter. The
| people Of a great extent Of country, EN-.
bracing several states and parts of states,
know that the proposed improvement will
be helpful to them.
No doubt the legislature will take such
steps as it may deem wise to secure favor
able and liberal action from congress. But
whatever it does should be marked with
such earnestness and such profound con-
viction of the Importance of deeper water
at Savannah as to arrest the attention of
the whole country aud impress congress
strongly as to the necessity for the improve
| ment.

Kelley Got the Job.

The late Congressman Kelley-''Pig Iron
Kelley as he was calied-had the reputation
of securing more government appointments for
his constituents than all the other menbers of
the Pennsylvania delegation taken together.
Kelley took great pride IN this reputation, and
whenever constituent applied Co him for a
place in one of the departments the Judge
promptly promised to secure it, OF course he
was not always successful, but it is said of him
that he never led to promise, and that by his
diplomacy in postponing the performance he
managed to staye of his constituents without
making enemies.
The story is told of Kelly that on one occa-
sion young woman, the daughter of an old
pennsylvania who had been one of Kelley
political lieutenants, applied to him for posi-
ton. which ne promised to secure for ner the
next day. On the following morning when the
young woman called CD the Judge he had for
gotten all about her case but upon being re-
minded apologized profusely and told her to
"call tomorrow" The Judge Kept this up for
nearly month, when the young woman lost
her patience
On the occasion of her last visit the Judge
who was very absent-minded, did not catch her
name as the servant announced her presence in
tue parior. and, walking hurriedly into the
room, shook hands with her and began the old
formula.
"My dear young lady, am very busy to-day:
you will really have to call Tomorrow"
But. judge" she protested. that is what
you have told me for a month. | have come
almost every day, and you have invariably told
Il beg your pardon, l am sure, said the
judge, with great suavty. call day after to-
morrow. -
Another young woman from Keley's district
secured the judges promise of an early ap-
pointment to an Office. but though. on the
strength Of the promise, she stayed in Washing
ton many weeks, she failed to get place. For
nearly three months the judge had succeeded
in putting her off and the girls resources had
become exhausted. One morning when the
Judge was preparing to go to the capitol the
young woman was announced As he entered
the parlor she rose, with determination stamped
in every feature and handed him a slip of
paper, which upon opening he discovered to be
a board bill for $50.
But, - protested the judge, 81 don't owe any
board bill"
Yes you do. judge" replied the young
woman, with tears in her voice. Il have been
staying in Washington three months on the
strength of your promise to get me place.
Now either get me a position or pay that bill
Come with me, my dear, ana will see
what We can do" said the Judge with smile;
and taking the young woman to the treasury
department he speedily installed her in a clerk
ship.

Changes in That Channel.

An old hotel clerk had rather see microbe
in the house than fresh drummer, says the
Chicago Herald. A young fellow registered at
the Auditorium the other day who knew every
thing. He had shaken dice with the Prince of
Wales, played poker with Senator Wolcott,
talked religion with Rev. Phillips Brooks and
could tell the name of the postmaster of
Snohomish. There was no place in America or
across the waves that he had not visited and

Occasionally the black brother expouuds
scripture to his flock under difficulties. In
this respect Boston appears to afford him
but few advantages. if a recent dispatch
from that town of advanced ideas" and
baked beans is to be credited. When Parson
Harris announced that he would as usual

up sign stating that this church is closed
until September" But they made that sign
too quick Before the adverse brethren

Killing ones own father could not under
any circumstances be justi6sble. But it
came as near as possible to that point in
the case Of a Cincinnati youth Sunday
morning last, when he shot his father while
he was in the act of striking the boys
crippled mother with a heavy pair of
tongs. Yet it seems barely possible that
the youth might have averted the injury TO
his mother without actually killing his
father, even though the man was SAID to
have been unusually violent and brutal
and had no claim on the woman, who had
long since got a divorce from him on the
ground of cruelty. Such tragedy can but
be deplorable beyond the ordinary, even
though the survivors are only relieved from
a lifetime of persecution by its results.

Some of the Chicago papers have grown
rather bilious over the somewhat apoch-
ryphal statement of the New York Sun 60
the effect that "the London Daily NetCs re-
fers TO New York as rival Of Chicago
1t might as well refer to any second-class
English city as the rival OF London, or any
second-class French city as the rival of
Paris" Just what Chicago has to complain
of in that declaration is not apparent 1t
certainly comedies enough to satisfy the
most exacting of ambitious towns. What
more could it do than clearly admit itself
second-class beyond "rivalry!" What the
Sun may have intended to say is not mate
rial to the point. 1t claims to say what it
means. and it is old enough and cranky
enough to know what it is talking about. t
clearly comedies first place to Chicago be-
yond dispute in the quoted sentences.

Advices from Spain allege that the

upon the insurgents to submit their diff

government Evidently the Balmaceda
faction sees no other way of subduing the
irrepressible insurgents before they have
mined aud sold all of that valuable nitrate OF
which they have possession. Longing for
a share in that has probably had more in
fiuence in bringing about this result than q
sincere desire for peace.
