The Shell Road Case

There is no doubt that the verdict of the
jury in the Vernon she'll road case is in &C
cordance with public sentiment. Whether
it is in accordance with the law or not is an
other question. If it isn't the law that a
toll road company, having been granted the
right to erect toll gate at the city's limit,
shall move back its gate without compen-
sation as the limit is extended, it ought to
be.
As the city grows the toll road becomes
more valuable, because travel upon it in
creases. And the loss to the company by
giving up half mile or so of its road would
amount to little if anything.
Surely the legislature expected when it
granted the toll company a charter, and
authorized it to establish gate at the city
limit, that the city would grow, and IL it
did it did not intend that the company
should occupy one of the streets of the city
and charge toll for its use. The verdict
may be against the law, but not against
iustica

The Race Problen Solving Itself.

4 bullstin prepared by the census bureau,
a synopsis Of which was published in our
dispatches yesterday, which gives the pop
ulation by races Of those states in which
ffteen-sixteenths Of the blacks Of the
United States were found by the census
takers in 1880, indicates pretty closely that
the race problem is gradually solving itself.
I The blacks are not increasing as fast rs the
whites in proportion 70 their number. and
there is, therefore, no reason for thinking that
/ the time will ever come when the blacks,
on account of their number, will be in a
| position to demand control Of local govern
ments.
Before the census of 1890 was taken it
was not uncommon to find in northern pub
| locations articles in which the prediction
was made that eventually the blacks would
take possession of the south. 1t was alleged
that the blacks increased faster than the
whites, and that in a few generations their
number would be SO great that they would
have everything pretty much their own
way in nearly all the southern states. The
writers who took this view based their
conclusions upon the increase Of
the blacks as shown by the
census of 1880. 1t is now, and has been
for long time. admitted that the census of
1870 was extremely defective. It did not
show what the black population was. The
census Of 1880, therefore, indicated that the
blacks were increasing at a wonderful rate
The census of 1890. however, is somewhere
near the truth. According to it the whites
in the whole country from 1880 to 1890 in
creased 24.6 per cent. and the blacks 1879
per cent. And in the group of states in
which the bulk Of the blacks are found, viz.
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi. louisiana, Texas and Arkansas,
the whites Increased 31.S per cent. and the
blacks only 49, per cent. In this connec-
ton the fact must not be overlooked that
within the last ten years there has been a
pretty steady movement Of the blacks
southwark. Thousands have immigrated to
Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas.
There are only two states now in which
the blacks outnumber the whites. viz:
South Carolina and Mississippi. In the first
named state the whites number ASS, ass and
the blacks 692, SOB. and in the second named
the whites number $50, 7O3 aud the blacks
747.720
The large black population has kept inn
migrants away from the south. But the
development of the souths wonderful min
eral resources and the erection of factories
have started immigration southwark. There
is reason to believe that in the next ten
years each of the southern states will receive
more immigrants than the whole south re-
ceived in the last ten. 1t is apparent. there
fore, that in the matter of number the
blacks will steadily lose ground. Each year
the race problem under these conditions
will command less attention, and, finally, it
will cease to have much Importance.

Weather is no Longer War.

According to a recent act of congress the
United States signal service bureau is to be
transferred from the war department to
the department of agriculture. That does
seem really more appropriate.
What use under the sun has the war de-
partment for the bureau of thunder and
lghtningl That bureau is far more In har-
mony with the bean bureau Agricult-
wrists are the ones who want the bene-
fits of its services. When they
are taking In their new mown hay
they want to know whether rain is coming
along before night, or whether they can
safely go to the picnic over in the next
county. They also want to know whether
they shall fodder the COWS out of doors or
whether a gale is expected along pretty
soon to blow all the fodder away. That's
what the bureau is there for, according to
their calculations.
Another thing is to be taken into account.
Transferring the signal service over to the
agricultural bureau also brings it under the
jurisdiction of the civil services commission.
That is really very desirable. Such a bu-
reau should certainly not be dominated by
mere partisan politics. Were that the case
its usefulness would be wholly destroyed.
Capable men are required there; men of
scientific attachments. In that way only
can the bureau ever be creditably efficient
Some new timber seems to be required
however. They have not been making
fair average of accuracy lately. What
they need is to cultivate some Of these back
country seers who stand in with the Their
mometer and wing the weather every pop
or every other pop. That would add
an element of material strength and lend
force and potent influence to the service.

Why the Alliance sno.e Ingalls,.


Congressman Jerry Simpson. Of Kansas,
is enjoying the nosoriety which the news
papers have given him by calling him
''Sockless Jerry" He is a very free talker
to the newspaper reporters. for the reason,
probably, that he knows that the news
papers can give him prominence that he
never could attain without their assistance
He was in Boston day or two ago and
in his talk 10 tie reporters be took occasion
to speak Of ex-senator ingalls, in a patroniz-
ing sort Of way. He thinks, OF course, that
he is much greater man than Ingalls,. and.
at present, he is. He is popular in Kansas,
whereas Ingalls, has been pulled of the
pedestal on which he posed SO long before an
admiring constituency.
Speaking Of Ingalls,, Congressman Simp-
son said that the farmers alliance "smote
ingalls, more in kindness than in wrath, :"
and that he believed that Ingalls, was all
right now, and could be relied upon to fur
Their the interests of the people. Talk like
this from man Of Congressman Simpsons
caliber is calculated to make ingalls, use
language unbecoming q christian azd a
gentleman. ave threw Ingalls, over, ;" said
the congressman, mot for personal reasons,
but because he represented the republican
and bloody shirt idea" IL it be true that
the BLOODY shirt idea" has lost its grip
upon Kansas there is great cause for re-
joicing. 1t had a stronger hold there than
in any other state. and the country has rea-
son to thank the farmers alliance If its hold
has been broken.
1t really looks, however, as If Congress
man Simpsons opinion of Ingalls, is about
right. The iridescent statesman, in re-
cent interviews, talked as il he expected to
become leader of the farmers alliance,
and. if he should, he would take a very
early opportunity, doubtless, to use his in
fiuence to have Congressman Simpson
dropped by the order. 1t must be, and
doubtless is, exceedingly CALLING to him that
men like PETER and Simpson-good men
enough in their way-are preferred to him.
But. after all, they may represent Kan
sas more satisfactorily than Ingalls, ever
did, because Ingalls,. great as his ability is
conceded to be, is good deal of dema-
gogue.
As long as Congressman Simpson confines
his talk to Ingalls, what he says will not
command much attention. because the coun~
try never had very great admiration for
ingalls,, but when he ventures to say that at
least twelve of the southern states will be
carried by the alliance in 1892 he shows
that he does not know what he is talking
about. The south is democratic, and the
Democratic party will remain in the
ascendency in the south for a good many
years yet. Congressman Simpson has not
been long enough in public life to
justify him in playing the part of prophet
with respect to political matters in the
south. 1t is safe to say that if the alliance
puts candidate in the field in 1892 its can
didate will not carry a single southern
state. Congressman Simpson is an inter
esting sort of man, and if he wants to
make a reputation as a farseeing states
man he should confine his talk to things of
which he knows something.

Foolish Consiatancu-

Emerson tells us that there is no particular
virtue in consistency. How stupid a man must
be. he says in effect. who is not wiser to-day
than yesterday, says Youths Companion, and
who does not accordingly have to change some
of his opinions.
"A man will never change his mind who has
no mind to change" says Archbishop Whatley,
and Faraday expresses the same idea when he
charges us to remember that I'm knowledge
that man only is to be despised who is not in q
state of transition"
There is medium between what worthy
old gentleman calls ''whiffiin about like a
weather cock, and remaining riSidly in one rut
of belief. Most of us know instances of men
who cannot bring themselves TO say anything
which would contradict what they uttered last
week or last year.
A certain I:1shman once declared that he had
owned a horse which was fifteen feet high.
few days after he referred to the same animal
as having been fifteen hands high.

A Chance to Get Immigrants.

The proposition of the southern interstate
immigration bureau to establish a branch
Of the bureau in this CITY ought to meet
with very general acceptance. A genuine
effort is being made by this bureau to bring
immigrants to the south, and there is good
reason to think that the effort will be a
successful one. The central bureau is
| establishing branch bureaus in the principal
towns of the south, and one of them should
be in Savannah. Indeed, special efforts
should be made by Savannah's citizens to
get one No other southern city has so
many advantages to offer those who are
seeking homes or opportunities to invest
money.
And there is an immen SO territory tribu-
tary to Savannah that is only party set
tled-a territory that is capable of support
ing population many times greater than
that which now occupies it. The land is
good and capable of being made extremely
productive, aud the climate is all that could
be desired. Along the lines of railroad
leading out of Savannah land can be OBJ
uainsd at very small price per acre. And
it is much more desirable than land in the
far west. because it is comparatively close
to a market where the best prices for farm
products can be obtained.
One of the reasons why Southern Georgia
is not more thickly populated is that little
or no effort has been made to direct atten-
tion to it. Home-seekers know nothing
about it. A branch of the Southern Iuter-
state immigration Bureau would help to
| make 1t known.
And it is only lately that the advantages
which Savannah has to offer for business
enterprises and the investment of capital
have begun to be appreciated If her peo-
pie show liberal and progressive spirit it
will not be long before she will be going
ahead at a rate that will astonish even those
who have INDUCED in the most sanguine
expectations with respect to her future.

What a Pawnee Thought of tt
Watch


One evening in March Lieut. Schwatka was
ordered to make detail for picket duty, says
the WdT-P1th and Bivottdc, and as the Paw
nee scouts were doing nothing it was thought
expedient to give them turn.
A sergeant took halfa dozen of them with the
regular guard, and having placed the picket
post explained to the Indian chief, as well as
he could, that he and his men would have two
hours on and four hours of duty until the guard
was relieved.
I'm lend you my watch said he to the Paw
nee, and, striking a match. he pointed to the
dial Its now o'clock. When the shorter
hand moves to two points, your first watch will
be relieved. Do you understand me?''
Hey, hey, goodI' answered the Indian, and
stalked away on his rounds. The sergeant
being fatigued, dropped into a fftful sleep by
the low watch-flre of the main guard. Sud
denly he was aroused by the Pawnee's hand
The thief was standing over him, the watch in
his hand.
what do you want?" asked the sergeant
"Injun heap cold; much heap stiff replied
the chief. Ugh! That thing Indicating the
watch much lie. Long finger (the minute hand)
been all right. Short finger (the hour hand

would say, and he would Lave nothing more to
do with picket duty.
