Slow Work in the House.

The House is not making very good
record as a working body. When it was Or
ganized the speaker said it ought to get
through with all important business 10 time
to adjourn by the last of May. 1t is evident
that it will not adjourn in May, nor even in
June The most sanguine of its members
do not now expect adjournment will take
place much before the middle of July. 1t
would not be at all surprising if the House
should be in session on Aug. l.
The truth is the members are not attend
ing to their work as strictly as they should.
The republicans are seldom in their places,
and many democrats are extremely neg
lectful Of their duties. Last week it was
difficult to get quorum. and. in conse-
quence, but little public business was done.
Some of the congressman were attending
the races, Others were at base ball games
and still others were at home looking after
their chances for denomination.
The congress Immediately preceding a
presidential election is not, as a rule, noted
for the amount Of business It does. Too
mauy of the members are so interested in
state and national politics that they have
very little time to devote to their legitimate
public duties.
A rule to withhold the salaries OF those
members who are absent from their seats
without sufficient reasons has been proposed,
II 1t is adopted members will be moro regu>
lar in attending the sessions of the House.
They will not run the risk OF having their
salaries covered into the treasury simply to
see a game of bsse ball or horse race.
The democratic members, OF course, are
primarily responsible for the failure Of the
House to-do anything, because they have
the majority. They should be in their seats
at all times and push along business as
rapidly as possible. 1t is evident that very
energetic messures will have to be adopted
to secure the attendance of members il adj

River and Harbor Bill.

It Is expected that the river and harbor
bill will be taken up by the House this week,
probably on Monday. Mr.. Blanchard, the
chairman Of the river and harbor commit
tee, says that there are good reasons for
thinking that It will be passed substantially
as it was reported by the COMMITTEES. He
expects that it will have some opposition.
In fact, be has been informed by some Of
the members that they propose 10 do what
they can to have it greatly reduced. 1t is
understood, however, that Mr.. Holman. the
chairman OF the committee on sppropria-
tons, will not seriously oppose it, though he
has insisted upon pairing down all the other
bills appropriating money. His congress
sional district Is interested in the bill to
quite large amount.
Savannah is much more concerned about
this river and harbor bill than she has been
about any previous river and harbor bill.
II it becomes a law without any material
changes being made In it she will not have
to bother about appropriations for her
harbor in future, because it authorizes the
Secretary of War to make contracts for
continuous work on the plan for a 26-foot
channel to the sea- The appropriations for
these contracts. therefore, will have to be
made.
The passage OF the bill will give an ad-
ditional impetus to Savannah's prosperity.
The assurance Of water OF a sufficient
depth in the near future to accommodate
the largest vessels will infuse new life into
every kind of business and industry.
There IS now beginning to be talk Of
bringing about closer and more direct
trade relations between the south and
European countries. II lines of steam
ships should be established between
the south and Europe It is pretty certain
that Savannah would be the South Atlantic
terminus of such lines. She has railroad
communication with all parts Of the south
and west, and with twenty-sIx feet of water
in her harbor she would be 10 position to
offer greater inducements than any other
southern port for the control of direct trade

Who Invented "OoncherknowY'

Il will give prize of 800 to any one who
can prove that the expression don't you know,
or, as it is often rendered, 'doncherknow, was
ever used IN England by real Englishman, "
declared person of the British persuasion the

The phrase had its origin in Philadelphia,
where it is much in vogue, because certain
dudes there believe it is English. No English
man ever says Don't you know The express
sion he does use is You know such as I'm

This may be a startler for certain young

Wheelers Order to shoot Belknap.

Wheeler's Order to shoot Belknap.
There was strange incident in the room Of
the House committee on military affairs the
other day. says the st. Paul Globe, when Gen.
Wheeler of Alabama brought out an old order
book to show Mr.. Belknap of Michigan, IN which
was the copy or the standing order that one
Charles Belknap of the Twenty first Michigan
Infantry be shot if captured. 1t was the sequel
TO wartime story. Mr. Belknap enlisted at
l6. He doesn't look 80 now, with his straight
figure, bright eyes and military brown mus
tache, but in war time he was as dashing a dare
devil as ever lived. One night, just for the fun
of it, he mounted his horse and rode
boldly through the confederate lines to
the headquarters Of Gen. Wheeler. who
was commander Of the western confederate cav
airy. The tent was empsy Young Belknap
threw his lines to orderly, strobe boldly in
and deliberately pocketed all the dispatches
and papers on the table. His very audacity
saved him, and not man in all the confederate
camp even thought to question him, Back he
rode with the dispatches, to unlimited applause
and a captains commission at Y. Then it was
that Gen. Wheeler turned green and blue and
white and red for rage, and for six months his
soldiers had orders to shoot Belknap if ever he
came within range again. Wheeler is demo-
crat and Belknap republican, but they are
the best OF friends, serve on the same commit
tee and delight in growing reminiscent OF war
times together.

To-day will be one Of anxiety throughout
Europe. Mayday has been fixed upon for
labor demonstrations in numerous cities,
and the activity of the anarchists recently
has given warning that they may endeavor
TO capture the working people and use them
as tools for the propagation Of their fiendish
policy. In Paris, possibly. there is more
danger of riot and bloodshed than in any
other city. The trial of Ravachol, the ex-
plosion Of dynamite in the restaurant in
which he was arrested, the failure Of the
jury to condemn hun through fear, and
other exciting incidents growing out Of the
anarchist agitation, are still fresh in the
minds of the people, and fiery speeches on
one side or the other would be more than
apt to inhame their passions and lead TO
violence. The Paris police have taken
extraordinary precaution to prevent any
serious trouble, and may succeed in doing
so. But France and the whole continent
will not breathe essyn until tomorrow

A Mistaken Contemporary

The Waresboro Union makes some state
ments which we think 1t will correct when
its attention is called to them-that is. il it
is disposed to do what is right In its issue
of yesterday it says the MORNING News
has undertaken to dictate to the voters Of
the Eleventh congressional district, and
that it has solicited from preiudiced reporters
such accounts OF the Atkinson Turner de-
bates as suited its purpose.
The MORNING NEWS has not undertaken
to dictate to the voters of the Eleventh dis
trict. 1t has simply exercised its privilege
Of giving Representative Turner suoh sup
port as it believes he is entitled to. It
would be difficult to construe anything that
has appeared in the MORNING NEWS in con-
nection with the Turner-Atkinson contest as
dictation. Perhaps the Union will point
out that which it considers dictation. In
that way it will be possible to make it clear,
probably, that il is mistaken.
And the MORNING NEWS has not solicited
accounts Of the Turner-Atkiuson debates
from prejudiced reporters. 1t has not So
licited reports Of the de- ates at all 1t does
not recall having received reports from any
| one except its regularly authorized re-
porters, and no one of them was told to
color his reports in favor Of either Repre-
sentative Turner or Judge Atkinson. They
were permitted to send what they pleased,
the belief being they would send the truth.
! The Union having unqualifiedly asserted
the reports in the MORNING News were So
licited it will, Of course, give its authority
for its assertion. If it does not the pre-
sumption will be that it has no authority.
II the Union will think about the matter
| seriously a day or two, it will finally reach
the conclusion probably that there is no
reason why the MORNING News should not
express an opinion TO the effect that the
Eleventh district would-act wisely by re-
turning Representative Turner to congress
He is very good man. and very able
| one, is he notl and is there any doubt of his
| democracy. He is not seeking the favor OF
the farmers by favoring demands not
| approved by the Democratic party, is hes

Union does not appreciate him. But it
looks as il majority of the democrats OF
the Eleventh district do.

SUICIDE OF A SIREN.

A Fatal Dose of Leudanum Swallowed
While Drunk.
MACON. Ga, April 90.-JuIla Thompson,
an inmate Of Fifth street dive In this city,
committed suicide at an early hour this
morning. 1t appears that she had fallen
out with one of the men who frequent the
place, and after first getting drunk declared
her intention of committing suicide. No
attention was paid to what was thought to
be an idle threat Between II
and o'clock this morning she was found
stretched unconscious on her bed with a
bottle Of laudanum clasped in her hand.
She never recovered consciousness and died
at 3 o'clock. The dead woman was 25
years of age, and has been somewhat no.
uorious member of the demi. monde OF the
city for some time.

A Tragedy of the Wave.

A native diver descended into the water TO see
whether one of the piers, then in course of con-
struction, had set, says the author OF Travels
in India While he was engaged in this work a
great iron cylinder subsidized little, crushing
his hand between it and the masonry. When,
on q signal being given, another diver clme
down, he found his unfortunate comrade i'm
prisoned under water without hope of escape.
After few moments Of mute despair and har-
rowing uncertainty, a speeches. decision was
arrived at and the new conner proceeded with
chsel and hammer, to hack of his unhappy
companions hand at the wrist The prisoner
was thus liberated. but died, soon after reach
ing the surface, from the shock. Never think
has an opium eater in his dreams imagined a
more pitiful spectacle Of hopeless human Suf-
fering.
