CHEAP sugar may mean "nasty'
sugar according to the Mckinley
idea, but the Republican press all
over the country are very exultant
over the reduction in the price of
this commodity. On the same prin-

who wear clothes would not object to
cheap clothing, which would certain
ly be no "nastier' than cheap sugar.

THE Columbia Herald in a recent

The Columbia Herald in a recent
issue says that Grover Cleveland
will be the next Democratic nominee
for president, whether Democrats in
the West desire it or not. This may all
be very true, yet the fact remains,
that the moneyed influences in New
York, not only dictate the party's
nominees, but outline its policies. If
the management of the Democratic
party has been turned over to Wall
street, then we have no right to COM
plain, and in fact, prefer Mr.. Cleve-
land to any other citizen of that
state. But as long as we continue
to believe that New York has not
monopollzed the intelligence and
and patriotism of this country, we
will insist that Democrats in the
South and West ought to have voice
in the matter of nominating the par
ty's presidential candidate.

the waves do not cause so much rolling as
when they strike the upright sides of II
common vessel. The bow end is sharp and
circular and the stern rounded in similar
way. With all these advantages Captain
McDougall thinks that seasckuess can al
most entirely be avoided, but at present
his designs have reference only to the
cheapening of freight transportation.
In towing barges the saving is enor-
nous. The 'whaleback" barge runs so
evenly that the bow does not "yaw," and
consequently the tension is uniform on the
tug line and at the same time the absence
of top hamper in the barge greatly de-
creases the rolling The total result is
that in a smooth sea the saving is over a
third and in rough sea much greater
at least so says Mr. Wetmore, secretary
of the American Steel Barge company,
which is organized to work Captain Nc
Douglas patents. Many striking instances
are cited of the success of the "whaleback"
in storms AS to the passenger steamer of
this pattern there is yet much to learn,
but it is plain enough that if Captain Nc
Dougall can prevent seasckness he will
have a tremendous patronage, whether he
saves anything in expenses or not.

city, thronged the streets, watched the
parades, listened to the bands which were
playing nearly all day for one affair or an
other, admired the show windows and gave
the town lively air generally.
About l 800 people came in by the morn
ing trains and joined the crowds already

The Warrens Fail to Get IN a Run
Against Charleston.
The Warren base ball club, to use slang.
was notin it with the Charlestons yester-
day. The visitors lad the best battery in
Summons and Colcolough that has ever
been pitted against the Savannahians. The
locals claim Colcolough is a professional
player, with a standing offer of $3.50 a month
to play with Boston.
Yesterdays game up to the seventh in-
ming was a beautiful contest, the score be-
ing one to nothing. Bal,antyne, in running
for a fly, stepped in hole and fell and let
in three runs. The next batter put a fly in
his territory, and in running he tripped
over a tin can and fell on a
stump, injuring himself severely. This let in
four runs and disheartsned the Warrens. Bal
lantyne was sent home in a carriage. The
play of the game was made by O'Connor of
Savannah. He also fell in a hole, but
pluckiiy held the ball and yielded double
play. The Warrens flelded beautifully, but
could not face Colcolough.
The Savannah and Macon clubs will play
tomorrow afternoon. The clubs are COM
posed of some of the best amateur players
in the state and will give a good game.
