A SETTLED PRINCIPLE.

was simply q Cleveland convention. No other
candidate was named.
SETTLED PRIScIPLE.
With all these precedents governing the DEM
ocratic conventions for the last forty-eight
years it would seem the two-thirds rule has be-
come a settled principle in the democratic
party. In all that time 1t has been abrogated
but on two occasions and those could hardly be
quoted as examples to be followed. The idea
that seemed to be prevalent among the friends
of the measure was that it secured a more gem
eral acceptance of the candidate. That it will
be reaffirmed at the coming convention there
Is no doubt and the candidate who in the opin-
ion of his friends cannot secure the two-thirds
vote Of the convention will hardly be presented.
THE NITRATE BEDS
Unless the war cloud breaks and the calm
Of peace succeeds the interposition of
some friendly powers, the vast wealth which
lies in the nitrate beds Of the province OF Tar
apaca, now held by Chile as security for the
war indemnity exacted OF Peru, VIII become an
important factor In making terms OF peace.
These nitrate beds have been the subject
OF considerable discussion between the
two countries and occasioned the
exciting scene which caused much comment
throughout the country between MI. Ferry
Belmont, when chairman of the committee on
foreign affairs, and the Secretary Of State, Mr..
Blaine, under the Garfield administration. The
brothers Landau claimed to have discovered
those valuable deposits under contract with
Peru, and that contract being repudlated they
sought to obtain from the department OF State
q recognition of their rights as American citi-
zens. In conversation with an experienced
diplomat, who has represented this country on
more than one occasion, he said, when talking
OF the likelihood of war, that the first thing to
be done would be to take possession OF that
province and those beds of nitrate, which would
deprive Chile of one OF her most valuable re-
sources. The element which goes to make up
an army Of invasion ''the cankers OF a calm
world and long peace" could be recruited very
readily. The adventurous spirit which per-
vades our country would fill all transports
ready to convey them to a new field for enter
prise and success. JOHN +. CoYLE.

Don't.

From Goldthwaite's Geographical Magazine.
Don't say or write Austro-Hungary. The
best writers prefer Austria Hungary.
Don't call the Chinese "Mongolians." II ia
better to reserve the latter name for the people
who live north of China proper.
Don't speak OF a native of China as q China
man. You would not say that You had an
Ireland man digging in your garden. 1t is
better to call John Chinese.
Don't, please don't, say that New York CITY
is located on Manhattan Island. Such a mis-
use OF the verb ito locate" is trying to the
nerves OF the best photographers. Saw New
York city is situated on Manhattan Island.
Don't speak Of China our antipodes. Our
antipodes is the point on the other side of the
world reached by straight line passing through
the place on which We stand and the center of
the earth. Our antipodes is in the ocean south
west of Australia.
Don't forget that oriental names ending in
IAN have the accent almost invariably on the
last syllable, as Teheran, Beloochistan.
Don't imagine that the spelling of geograph-
icai names In the newspapers is necessarily ac-
curate. 1t Is safe to say that one-half of the
place names In Africa and ASIA as thew appear
In our daily press are mangled almost beyond
recognition by the cable or the types.
Don't call Bermuda "a North American
island. as writer in a newspaper did the
other day. There are plenty OF North Ameri-
can islands. but Bermuda Is not one of them
1t is an oceanic not a continental island.
Don't be mystified il on one man in your
atlas Hudson bay seems to be larger thai, the
Gulf of Mexico, while on another sheet ~ tbe
same atlas the Gulf OF Mexico appears larger
than Hudson bay. The apparent discrepancy
is doubtless due to the different man nroiec
tions employed. You know. for instance. tbs.
areas far removed from the EQUATOR are yery
much exaggerated as they appear on mans of
the Mercator projection.
Don't say that the compass points to the true
north, for it doesn't except in certain places-
The compass points to the magnetic north
which is at present considerably west of the
north pole. When Lieut.. Greely was at LADY
Franklin bay the destination of his needle was
found to be very great, the needle pointing to-
ward the magnetic pole in direction nearly
southwest
Don't make the mistake some people do of
thinking the word ''aIluvium' 20 be synony-
nous with soil" Only those soils which are
the result of the deposition of sediment bv
running water can properly be called aliuviaI
soils.

The Great Fast of the jewish ,Calen-
dar Devoutly Observed.
The Hebrew Day OF Atonenent, the day
of days to devout Jews, ended at sunset
last night. 1t was universally observed by
the Hebrews Of Savannah. There was a
total suspension Of business and the SYM
agogues were crowded.
The Day OF Atonement is devoted to
fasting, repentance, and prayers, in con-
formitY with the pentateuchal command
"for on that day shall he the high priest
make an atouement for you, to cleanse
YOU, that ye may be clean from ell your
sins before the Lord"
The services on this great dsy, from
evening unto evening" varying as they do
in some congregations. are most impressive.
The evening service of about three hours
Friday night was followed by the early
moruing service yesterday; then the
morning service; this by the additional
service; then the afternoon service, and
the concluding service, preceded by. "a
hymn-a constant worship from sunrise to
dark, without any intermission. The
liturgy is exceptionally rich in the compost
ton Of some Of the greatest bards in Jewish
history.
The Day OF Agreement, Yom Kippur or
Nom Ha Kippurim, is and always win be
the strictest observance in Israel. The Sab
bath Of Sabbaths is kept sacredlv and apart
from all business cares aud all worldly
thoughts by the millions of believing Jews
who are scattered throughout the length

Weeks Work.

Sanitary Inspector Desvergers' Last
Weeks Work.
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens SAM
tary Association. in his reportof inspections
for the week ending last night, says that
food produce Of all kinds in the city market
was abundant and of good quality.
In reference to other sanitary matters the
inspector reports that while there is a
diminution IN the quantity of water which
had collected in places on the TANKS
aud to the rear of the city from
she recent heavy rainfall, tho quantity
still on the grounds IN the vicinity of the
city demonstrates the fact that there are
not drains in the territory contiguous to the
city sufficient in number and capacity TO
insure timely drainage of the low lands
after Bain storms. Musgrove canal and the
trunks in it barely held out during the re~
cent rains. The drains which have been
opened into the territory OF the watershed
southwest of the city, throw an immensely
augmented volume of water into the chan
mel of the Musgrove creek
swamp, and thereby render the
Musgrove canal inadequate to
the suggestion for such cooperative work
between the county and city authorities as
will effect an early enlargement OF the
canal.
The inspector suggests that a visit by the
sanitary commissioners just where the wa
ter is at high stage now, to the railroad
borrow pits and the brick yard pits in the
vicinity Of the city, would suggest 20 the
gentlemen Who compose the sanitary COM
mission the expediency Of their giving some
attention to these unsanitaTy places, and,
perhaps, prompt some movement TO bring
about legislation that will compel railroad
companies to drain their borrow pits.

The Thuuderbolt Fence War Renewed
by Both SIDE

by Both sid es.
The fence war at Thunderbolt was re.
newed yesterday morning. The fences
which had been erected the day before were
again torn down by Mayor Fennen and
Marshals Fennell and Masters. They were
replaced third time by the owners and the
parties arrested on warrants sworn out by
Councilmen Ambos aud Reitz.
As soon as Mayor Fennel and his mar
shals reached home Friday night they pro-
ceeded to demolish the fences which had
been torn down in the morning and re-
placed again in tho afternoon by the
owners. By the light Of lanterns and
lamps and the new electric lights provided
by the Coast Line railway for the city of
Warsaw they succeedeu in demolishing Mr..
Reitz's fences, after which they rested from
their labors until yesterday morning. In
the morning they removed the remainder
of the fe lces which had been replaced.
When MIR. Reitz found his fences were
being torn down he came into town, woke
up Justice Eudres and secured warrants for
Mayor Feunell and his officers. Yesterday
they we're rearrested by Constable HartiEar
and brought to Savannah. The counsel for
botn sides thought it high time to make
some arrangements for cessation of hos
Utilities until the question could be passed
up 10y the courts before shOtguns came
into play and the Thunderbolt councilmer
declared open war against eacn other.
c. N. West, ESQ, of Harden, " est &
McLaws, counsel for Mayor Fennell, aud T
S. Morgan, Jr., ESQ, counsel for Amb0
aud Reltz, arranged an armistice, hy thu
terms OF which the second set of warrant
was to be withheld and the rebeiling prop
erty owners were to be allowed to replac
their fence.
The question will come up before Judgt
MacDonell In the city court tomorrow as {
case of malicious mischief aga nst Mayo
Fennell and Marshals rennel, Lee aud
Masters and Ds-utY Joe Williams and
others. Until Judge MRcDonell renders 6
decision in the matter the Thunderbol
fence war will remain in statu quo.
