Policeman John Crimmins was dismissed

and fought the negroes until they beat him

THE WAY THEY READ 1T.
sAVANNAHIAN INDORsE CLEvE-
LANDS LETTER.

Business Men Like 1t Because of the
straightforward Manner in Which
1t Deals With the Issues Before the
People-They Like His Position or
the Tariff and Other Questions o.
the Day.
Clevelaud's letter Of acceptance Of the
democratic nomination for the presidency
published in yesterdays MORNING NEWS,
was highly complimeated on all sides YES
terday, aud particularly by Mr.. Cleveland's
admirers among the business men. It ives
comphmented for its purity, its conciseness
and It's generally clear and strsightforw ward
manner Of dealing with the political issues
now facing the country.
1t was noted that Mr.. Cleveland did not
skip or straddle any Of the issues, and that
he outlined his position clearly on all of
them. The tariff as the leading question
from the democratic standpoint was first
considered, and the fact that the tariff is q
tax and very heavy one at that was en-
phasized,
Mr.. Clevelands position on the tariff is
thoroughly approved in Savannah. dr.
Cleveland considers the force bill an i'm
pending evil and says so, and there is where
Toe Savannah democrats agree with him
again. Mr. Cleveland reiterates his adher-
ence to civil service reform on the old line
OF public office, public trust"
The average Savannah democrat does not
run very heavily on civil service reform,
and prefers it in homeopathic doses, and is
In hopes that Mr.. Cleveland now appreciates
the fact that good democrat makes the
best government official at all times, and
especially under a democratic administra-
ton.
The people of this section agree with Mr..
Cleveland that it is time to call halt in
the pension business, and hope to see a
reform on this line under his administra-
tlon, which begins next March.
Mr. Cleveland's opposition to paternalism
strikes responsive chord in this quarter.
SaVannshtans agree with him that 1t is
time TO call halt in the wholesale immi-
grafton now going on without regard TO
class OF condition.
Savannah eau afford to indorse Mr., Cleve-
lands position on the Nicaragua canal
matter, because Of the immense benefits that
would accrue to it upon the success of the
project
The general verdict is that Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter shows him to stand lust where
everybody thought he did, and to be to-day,
as he was in 1884. the most pnblio-spirited
and the most worthy Of public confidence
OF any citizen in the whole country.

TO CELEBRATE COLUMBUS DAY.
A Committee of Fifteen to Prepare a
Programme,

| A Committee OF Fifteen to Prepare a
Programme,
About forty prominent Catholics met at
Catholic Library hall last night to discuss
the advisability of celebrating In civic
manner the 400th anniversary of Columbus
discovery Of America on Oct. 81, the day
set apart by President Harrison for that
purpose.
While all those who took part in the
meeting are Catholics they were acting out
side of religion as citizens takiOg the initia-
tive to bring about q proper celebration of
the important event, and whatever is de-
cided upon will in no sense have any re-
ligious connection. All prominent citizens
regardless of creed will be invited to take
part.
Col. Peter Reilly was elected chairman
and John w. Golden secretary. After con-
siderable discussion as to the best course to
pursue and the most appropriate manner 10
which the anniversary should be cele-
brated committee of fifteen was appointed
to prepare a plan Of celebration and report
back to a meeting to be held Friday night.
The general sentiment last night was to
have a banquet at the De Soto, and this il
probably what the committee of fifteen will
recommend.

chants, has been postponed until o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, 1t was to have been
held yesterday afternoon at the board Of
trade rooms, but some of the members of
the committees were absent and the meeting
was put of until tomorrow. Every mem
Der Is urged to be present tomorrow, as
there Is no time to be lost in making

The coming Of Columbia's merchants
means increased trade for Savannah, and
the board OF trade aud cotton exchange in
tend that nothing shall be left undone to
entertain them properly while here and
impress Savannah's Importance and adj
vantages upon them as trading center.
For years the merchants of Columbia
have been buying all their supplies through
Charleston, but the opening OF the South
Bound brings them closer to Savannah, and
there is no reason why this city should not
enjoy the trade which now naturally belongs
to her. The South Bound, with commend~
able enterprise, will transport the merchants
of South Caroliua's capital here free of
charge, ami will aid the commercial bodies
in the entertainment. The date of the

From the CHICAGO Times.
On the road from Irkutsk to Kiakhta, the
frontier town Of the Chinese empire, the
monotony of the journey is broken by cross
ing Lake Balkal, wonderful lake frozen
for nine months In the year. which has sixty
times the area of ths Lake Of Geneva and
has an average depth of no less than 6, 4O4
feet or more than mile. The cold is so ter
rible that when O hurricane stirs the waters
the waves often freeze as waves, remaining
in hummocRs above the surface; bus when
J. M. Price, author of "From the Arctic
Ocean to the Yellow Sea- crossed the cold
had caught the lake asleep and the ice was
perfectly smooth. He had thirty miles to
drive on the solicited water. For about a
mile from the shore the ice had a thin LAYER
CT snow over it, but we gradually left this
sort Of dazzling white carpet aud at length
reached the clear ice, when l saw around
me the most wonderful and bewitchIng
sight ever beheld. Owing to the trans
parency of the water Use ice presented
everywhere the appearance Of polished crys-
tai, and, although undo vbtedly of great
thickness, was 50 oolorsass that it was like
passing over space. 1t gave me at first an
uncanny feeling TO look over the aide
of the sledge down into the black
abyss beneath. This feeling, however, grad

nothing but this sheet of crystal between
me and eternity. believe that most tray
elers, on crossing the lake on the ice for the
first time, experience the same weird ard
fascinating influence. About half way
across stopped to make a sketch and take
some photographs. It was no easy matter,
as l fouad on getting out of the sledge, for
the ice was SO slippery that, in spite OF my
having felt snowboots on, could hardly
stand. The deathlike silence Of the sur
roundings was occasionally broken, how
ever, by curious sounds, as though big
guns were being fired at some little
distance. They were caused by the
cracking of the ice here and there.
was told that in some parts of the lake were
huge assures through which the water
could be seen. 1t is for this reason that it is
always advisable to do the journey by day
light. We reached Mouishkaya, on the OPP
posite coast, exactly four and a half hours
after leaving LIesivenitz, the horse having
done the whole distance OF thirty miles with
only two stoppages Of few minutes each.
II was evidently an easy bit OF work for
them, as they seemed as fresh when we
drew up in the POSTCARD as when they
started in the morning.

Queer prift of a Wreck.

The drift of the bow and stern Of the
British ship Fred B. Taylor, which vessel
was halved by the steel Prov of the Bremen
liner Trave three months ago, is considered
by mariners to be the most unique and in
structive in the history of shipwrecks.
The collision took place on the night of
June %, IN lat 40 49, N, long.
CSC 80 W. After being severed the bow
and stern dritted apart in entirely different
directions.
Various explanations have been ad-
vanced to account for the singular
drift Of the forward and after ends,
but the most plausible is that
the stern was influenced more by the wind
than the bow, whose more southerly course
is attributed to ocean currents.
The stern Grifred ashore on the coast Of
Maine Aug. z. The bow was last heard
from of the Virginia capes.
