BILLS AND resolutions have already
commenced to flood Congress, and will
doubtless continue uniuterruptedly un-
til the end of the session. They afford
those who introduce them an easy OPP
portunity for having their names APP
pear in the newspapers, but will have
no other practical effect than the cost o.
printing them. The people of the
country will be satisfied if all the regu
lar appropriation bills shall bepassed al
this session, and those at all familiar
with congressional proceedings don't
expect any more.

What Docs Clarkson Moan 2

MIR. Clarkson, the chairman of the repub-
lican national committee. does not ap-
parently think that Mr.. Blaine meant his
letter of withdrawal to be understood that
he would not accept the nomination of his
party for President under any circum-
stances. In his paper. the Des Moines Re-
publican, Mr.. Clarkson declares that the
Iowa republicans want Mr.. Blaine for the
national standard-bearer of the Republican
party. What does he mean by this Blaine
talki Is he Of the opinion that Mr.. Blaine
would accept the nomination If it were
rendered to him with anything like unan.
unity!
Mr.. Clsrkson occupies post of observa-
ton from which he can scan the whole
political field, aud he must have excellent
reasons for continuing to cry aloud for the
nomination Of Mr.. Blaine. Either he does
not like Gen. Harrison and is trying to pre-
vent his nomination or he does not believe
he could be elected.
To the public Mr.. Blaine's letter seemed
to be conclusive. He might have said more,
it is true. but the general opinion was that
he said enough. Unless something should
crop out to change this opinion he will
hardly be considered as one of the candi-
dates

Senator Voorhees, Promise.


/ In the Senate day or two ago Senator
/ voorhees,, in presenting a petition from a
number Of grand army men praying for the
defeat Of the free coinage Of silver, said:
'No measure is contemp plated. or can ever
/ by the remotest possibility become a law.
/ by which pensioners will be paid their pen
sions. now or hereafter, in money less val
liable, dollar for dollar, than the very best
money, whatever that may be, in circula-
tion anywhere IN the world"
Senator VOORHEES, is in favor Of the free
coinage OF silver. and be must believe that
in the event of the passage of a law provid
ing for the free coinage Of silver a silver
dollar will be worth as much as a gold doll
lar, or that provision win be made for the
payment Of pensions in gold.
1t Is quite certain that the pensioners who
sent their petition TO the Senate do not be-
heve that silver dollar would be worth as
much as gold dollar if
free silver coinage law should
be enacted. The credit Of the government
now keeps the silver dollar on par with a
gold dollar, and it would not do that il the
coinage Of silver were made free. Let a
free coinage law be enacted, and there
would soon be a wide difference between
the value of silver and a gold dollar.
But Senator VOORHEES, says that no law
can be enacted that will not insure
the payment Of pensions in
as good money as there is in
the world. He cannot mean, of course,
that no free silver coinage bill could pass
that would not contain provision for the
payment Of pensions In gold. But il he
does not mean that what does he mean by
asserting that pensioners shall be paid in as
good money as there is in the worldl
Pensioners are now, and will be In the
future, paid in the currency OF
the country. If silver becomes the stand
ard they will be paid in silver, and a silver
dollar then will not be worth as much as
gold dollar. 1t is Senator Voorhees, opinion,
doubtless, that a silver dollar would be
equal IN value to gold dollar if free
silver coinage act should be passed, but
those who are much better versed In fnan-
cial matters than he is hold contrary
opinion. Under the circumstances it would
be interesting TO know how Senator
voorhees, proposes to make good his assur~
ance that pensioners shall always be paid
in money as good as gold.

What the New Directory Shows.


Notwithstanding the depression in bust
ness, caused by the low price of cotton and
the loss of hundreds of citizens due to
the leasing OF the Central to the Richmond
and Danville, Savannah has gained very
considerably 10 population within the last
year. The gain as shown by Sholes' new
directory is little over $50.
The most noticeable thing in connection
with the new directory is the large number
of persons who have removed from the
city. and the larger number Of new corners.
One-third of the names in last years direc-
tory are not in the directory this year, and
among them are S3l names of persons who
were employees Of the Central railroad.
The disappearance from the city's popula-
ton Of 50 many who were connected with
that road shows that the leasing Of the
Central to the Richmond and Danville was
quite heavy blow to Savannah, 80 far as
her population is concerned.
But that confidence In Savannsh's future
has steadily grown is shown by an increase
in her population that is considerably
greater than this loss, and her population
will increase more rapidly in the future
than it has in the past. because her prosper
ity rests upon a solid foundation. Her BUSH
ness is steadily growing and new territory
is being added to that already tributary to
her. The movement in favor of deeper
water to the sea is certain to be a success.
All the reports with respect to it that have
been received from Washington have been
favorable. There is every reason to think
that the river and harbor committee will
give it very hearty support. In that case
the amount of money needed to carry on
the 26-foot project continuously will be
Obtained. and Savannah will have a channel
of that depth to the sea within the next two
or three wears.

Mr.. Raachar,a Warm Text.

The question whether Mr.. Beecher once said
in his pulpit. ITS id hot!" seems to be
settled by recently published letter purport-
ing to be written by him. in which he denies
ever having used the expression Whether that
letter was authentic or not remains to be
proved. At any rate T. K. Hatfield of Var
mouth, Nova Scotia, comes forward with
letter to the Boston Journal, saying that some
where about 1850 he met his brother, John
Smith Hatfield, after some years of separation,
in Liverpool. The brother was "a very pious
man." and shortly before that had been In
Brooklyn and went to hear Mr.. Beecher preach,
1t was hot day, and, according to the letter,
as the preacher passed through the crowd he
wiped his perspring brow and made the re-
mark quoted, following 1t up by saying that he
had just heard it at the door of the church.
and proceeding to preach an eloquent sermon
from this text.
