MIR. Carsou's Time Ordinance.

The city council should give Alderman
Carson's proposed time ordinance very care
full consideration. Several years ago. when
standard time was adopted by the railroads,
the council was induced to give it a trial.
The city clocks were set back thirty-slx
minutes, and there was a vigorous kick by
about all employers of labor and by all the
cooks The dissatisfaction was so great that
the council repented of its action and went
back to sun time. Il was then suggested
that eastern time be given q trial, but the
council could not be induced to make any
further experiments with the city clocks.
It's experience had been such as to make it
more than willing to walt until the annoy
ances growing out Of the two kinds of time
created general demand for a change.
The two kinds Of time are the source Of
just about as much trouble as they were
when standard time was adopted by the
railroads, and there is now a pretty strong
sentiment favor Of giving eastern time a
trial. II Alderman Carson's ordinance
should be adopted the hands of the city
clocks would have to be pushed forward
twenty-four minutes, and there would be
just an hours difference between city time
aud railroad time There would then be
much less confusion and annoyance with
regard to time than there is now. Every
body would understand that IL O'Clock city
time meant IL o'clock railroad time. A
difference of an hour would be productive
of much less confusion than difference OF
rhirty-six minutes.
II the city council had adhered to stand
ard time when 1t adopted it the people, in
the course of few months, would have ad-
justed themselves and their affairs to it,
and we wouldn't now be bothered by two
kinds of time, but the Rrumblers and kick
ers carried the day, and the city has been
bothered by two kinds of time ever since.
Alderman Carson's ordinance is in the
| line OF progress and should be given trial
| 1t is doubtful il the railroads could change
to eastern time without great inconven.
fence, but If they could there is every
reason TO think they would.
How would It do for the city to try stand
ard time againl That would be better thar
the time proposed by Alderman Carson.

Should Be Sent Back.


From the Philadelphia Ledger (.nd.e
A dispatch from Antwerp reports that the
steamship Pennsylvania has just sailed from
that infected port for New York with GOO immi-
grants on board. 1t was reported TO the board
of health on Saturday that she had sailed for
this port with 800 immigrants Whatever port
she should try TO make should shut her out alb
solutely. There is no reasonable excuse for
sending over shipoads of immigrants from in
fected ports now that the condition of affairs
there and here is we'll known. Not a dollar
should be spent in costly quarantine OF steam
ers like the Pennsylvania, sent cut with immi-
grants with a full knowledge of the dangers TO
which they subject our people. The steamer
should simply be ordered out of our ports and
sent back to Antwerp. Then perhaps the steam
ship companies would pay more respect TO the
evident purpose of this country 70 protect itself
from the invasion of disease.

The Land OF Used to-Be.
james Whitcomb RileN

James Whttcon10 Rttey.
Beyond the purple, hazy trees
OF summers utmost boundaries;
Beyond the sauds, beyond the seas.
Beyond the range Of eyes like these,
And only IN the reach of the
Enraptured gaze of memory,
There lies the land long lost to me-
The land OF Used-to-Be.
A land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas when sirens chung
Along their dripping Drinks and sung
To Jason that mystic tongue
That dazed men with its melody;
o. such land, with such a sea,
kissing its shores eternally,
Is the fair Used to Be.
A land where music ever girds
The air with bells OF singing birds,
Ana sows all sounds With such sweet words
That even in the lowing herds
A meaning lives so sweet TO me
Lost laughter ripples limpIdly
From lips brimmed DER with all the glee
or rare old Used-to-Be.
o land of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and shady spots,
OF coolest, Hreenest, grassy plots
Embossed with wild forget-me -nots,
And all the blooms that cunningly
Lift their faces up to me
Out Of the past; kiss in thee
The lips OF Used-to-Be.
love ye all, and with wet eyes
Turned glimmeringly on the skies,
My blessings like your perfumes rise,
Til DER my soul a silence lies
Sweeter than any song to me,
Sweeter than any melody
Or its sweet echo, yea, all three
My dreams Of Used-to-Be.

Col Lester's Campaign.

The third party leaders in this congress
sional district are finding it a difficult
matter to convince the members Of their
party that they ought to vote against Col.
Lester. There are some third party men
who will vote against him, but they will do
so not because they do not believe that he is
the man who ought 60 represent the district,
but because, for some reason or other. they
have an unreasonably bitter feeling against
the Democratic party. 1t often happens
that the man who leaves the party he has
affiliated with for years and from which be
has received favors and benefits hates that
party much more than the man who
has always been in opposition TO it.
But most Of the third party men of the dis
trict who are noted for their common sense
and good judgment propose t. vote for Col.
Lester. They are led to do this because
they recognize how great the services are be
has rendered the district, and how much
more capable he Is than his opponent OF
serving the people. They know by what
Col Lester has done that he is man OF In
fuence and ability, and that il he is elected
they will have a representative In whom
they will feel good deal Of pride.
The MORNING NEWS published com
munication yesterday in which it was stated
that the editor Of the third party paper at
Statesboro resigned because he could not.
in justice to the people Of Bulloch county,
oppose the election of Col. Lester. It is
quite certain, therefore. that very large
percentage of the third party votes will be
cast for Col Lester
And the colored people regard him with
great favor. They appreciate what he has
done for Savannah harbjr. because they see
that whatever tends to increase Savannah's |
commerce helps them. They are discussing |
the congressional candidates among them
selves, and about all Of them will give Col. |
Lester their support.
Col. Lester talked to the people at Millen |
yesterday on the political issues, and he will |
address them again to-day at Statesboro. |
He succeeds admirably in gaining and hold |
Ing the attention of his audiences. The |
reason is that he talks about matters in |
which they are interested and makes him |
elf fully understood.

with backbone enough to tell the truth says
OF the Maine election, that an extraordinary

The Rev. Thad Pickett. of the Ninth dis
trict, who is now in the midst Of the first
campaign he ever took an active part In,
says the Peoples party will carry Alabama,

Against this weighty opinion we have the
opinion of Murat Halstead, one of the lead
ing republican editors of the United States,
who has been through every campaign for
thirty years. Mr.. Halstead says the south
will remain solid for the Democratic party,
and Mr.. Halstead Is right.

A few days ago the MORNING News ex-
pressed the opinion that as soon as the new
men at CarneEie's Homestead mills had
been reduced to the same basis of wages as
that formerly worked on by the old men there
would be trouble. And 80 it has proved. A
detection among the new skilled workmen
has resulted, and thirty Of them have gone
out in one day, with prospect Of others
following. The Philadelphia Ledger re-
ports that the firm is greatly crippled, owing
to a scarcity Of skilled workmen TO take the
places Of those who have left.

been reorganized after a long and disas-

safeguards are in good shape" aud better
