The Florida Train Robbery.

Notwithstanding that all the robbers who
attempted to rob the express car Of the
north-bound Tampa train near Sanford. a
week ago last Sunday. have been either
killed or arrested, there is a pretty well
founded suspicion that the man who planned
the robbery has not yet been discovered.
| Whether or not this suspicion will be
strengthened by developments that
may yet be made remains to be
seen. The two robbers In custody
/ have told pretty straight stories-stories
that are consistent-but they are apparently
keeping something in reserve. The impress
sion seems 20 be that they are expecting
| help from some source at their trial. 1t is
not clear, however that there is any way In
which they can bs saved from the galloWs
or at least life imprisonment. The outlook
for them is certainly not such as to make
them think they are more fortunate than
those Of their companions in crime who
were shot to death.
The vigorous pursuit of the robbers
which the express company encouraged and
which the authorities and citizens of
Florida conducted is In the highest degree
praiseworthy. While it would have been
more satisfactory If all the robbers had
been taken alive and made to suffer the
penalty for their crime by due process of
law, nevertheless the determination that
was shown that the robbers should be
takon dead or alive will have a most
salutary influence In checking train rob-
bers in this section of the country.
1t is worthy of notice that train rob-
bers have not been fortunate in
Georgia and Florida. The principals Of
the two robberies that have occurred re-
Gently in this state are in the penitentiary
and Of the principals IN the Florida robbery
two are dead and the two now in custody
will wish many times that they were dead
before the law gets through with them.
In the west train robbers have been a
little more fortunate, quite a number hav-
ing escaped with their booty, but even In
that section there has not been
such success in this kind Of
crime as to make it attractive
to those disposed to enter upon a criminal
career. If in all parts of the country pur-
suit of train robbers were as vigorous and
determined as it has been in Georgia and
Florida it would not be long before train
robberies would be few and far between.

Spring in Chicago.

From, the Chicago NetCs Record.
With splitter, splatter, spIutter,
And gurgling in the gutter,
And a tinkle, tsnkle, tunkle on the single and
the pane;
With misty, murky, mizziness.
Setting down to steady bu9ness,
Comes the dreary, drowsy, drooling Of the drip
ping, dropping rain.
With sizzle, sozzle, suzzle,
Buttoned upward to the muzzle,
The weary. wading walker drags his rubbers
from toe mud;
While the dizzy, lodging dancing,
OF the UNI ber-ella, prancing
Drives a man to lurid longings for some other
fellows blood.
o, the breezy brooks may babble,
And the gentle poet dabble
In his veering vernal verses and fond memories
they bring,
But no earthly rhyme or reason
Makes believe in such a season
That this wishy-washy weather is a cloudy ghost
OF spring!

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-05-31

The enthusiastic way in which Mr..
Clarkson talks about Mr.. Blaiue's health is
amusing in view of the fact that Mr.
Blaine has been regarded as so much Of an
invalid that he hasn't been able to attend
to the duties of his office regularly for
more than a year. Last Saturday, in
conversation with a World reporter, he
said: Mr.. Fassett and l called on Mr..
Blaine this morning. have not seen the
secretary looking so well for years.
Indeed, he appeared as vigorous and in as
good spirits, as when he began the great
campaign of 1884 Those intimate with
him can scarcely remember when his COM
plexion was not pale; therefore the pallor
of his face was hardly noticed by me. His
eyes were as bright and keen as when he
used to make those magnificent historical
assaults in the House and Senate and when
he arose to offer us chairs his step was as
light and springy as that of a Harvard
Splinter"
In further talk Mr.. Clarkson said that
Mr.. Blaine would not add anything to the
letter in which he said his name would not
be presented to the Minneapolis convention,
and that in his opinion Mr.. Blaine had nine
chances in ten Of being nominated. Mr.
Clarkson evidently thinks that Mr.. Blaine
will be nominated without his name being
formally presented to the convention.

Economy That Doesn't Suit.

Some of the New York papers that have
been loudest in their condemnation of the
river and harbor bill on account of the
amount of the appropriations it carries are
now finding fault with the House for some
instances of its economy in the sundry civil
appropriation bill The New York Times
in its Sunday issue says: There il almost
as much mlsdirected economy in the suudry
civil appropriation bill, which was passed by
the House of Representatives on Friday, as
there was reckless extravaganza In the
river and harbor bill"
Doubtless the Times feels deeper inter-
est in the sundry civil appropriation bill
than in the river and harbor bill, and hence
condemns the House for trying to prevent
any waste Of the public money in that bill .
1t makes a great difference to the New York
papers whose OK is gored.
If there is reckless extravaganza In the
river and harbor BILL" the Times ought to
point out the items that show such extrava-
gance. Itand the other papers of New Y ork
attack the whole bill, and seek to create the
impression that it has no merit II these
papers are In a position to say the bill is a
TcChIeSolg oAbIdNbkhuJ Ou6s buoy eau C6T-
tainly point out the items that ought to be
stricken out of it.
But they do not mention any ons of the
items as being extravaganza. They are
afraid to do so because they would at
once be overwhelmed by facts and figures
showing they were mistaken. If then they
are not capable of showing that any part of
the bill is reoklessly extravagsnt they are not
justified in asserting the whole bill is 80.
No doubt the rivers and harbors are not
dealt with in strictly impartial manner.
The fact thar the Senate cut down the APP
preparations made for southern harbors
several hundred thousand dollars and
greatly increased those for rivers and har-
bors of states in which certain senators are
interested shows there is some favoritism in
the bill, but, as a whole, it is perhaps
about as fair to all interests concerned as
any of the other appropriation bills

Chairman Clarkson is quoted as saying
that probably ex-Speaker Reed will be
made temporary chairman OF the Mime
apolis convention. Reed is anti Harrison;
so is Clarkson, and this may be part of
plot to count quorum against the Presi-
dent in making up the convention. Reed is
not a delegate to the convention. But a
little thing like that will not make any diff
ference if the bosses decide that his mathe-
NAUTICAL ability is necessary to the defeat of
Gen. Harrison. Some Maine delegate can
be induced TO resign and allow Reed to be
showed in as an alternate.

The effect of third partyism upon the
farmers alliance is illustrated in the case of
the Glenn Holly suballiance, OF Scnley
county. So long as the organization
worked in the interest of the farmers it
prospered. but when it allowed politics to
swerve it from its proper course, its decline
began. Once there were upward Of sixty
members on its roll; now there are only
twenty-five. and some of these will leave
the order because of the bad politics that is
being forced into it. 1t is gratifying to note
that a majority Of those who were once
members Of the suballiance remain true
democrats

Dr. Kelley, OF gold-cure notoriety, is in
London for the purpose of establishing one
of his Institutes there. Before making per-
manent arrangements he will endeavor to
convince Editor Henry L.abouchere, Of
Truth, that his cure will do what he claims
for it. DR.. Kelley has agreed with the
editor to cure any six drunkards he may
produce. If he is success, fuI he hopes to
have the support of Truth, which is re-
garded as the most powerful newspaper in
England either to champion good cause or
70 down a fraud. The agreement between
Kelley and Iabouchere was suggested by
Col. Tom" Ochiltree. Perhaps if DR..
Kelley had carried an affidavit OF DR.. Tal>
mage with him he would have saved him
self the trouble of consulting Ochiltree
and Labouchere.

Another steamer to Savannah.

While other South Atlantic ports are I'M
able to support an Independents steamship
line with the commercial metropolis of the
country, New York, Savannah has steam
ship lines to New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, and all the lines are
profitable ones. 1t seems that the line to
Philadelphia is not wholly equal to the de-
mands upon it. The following from the
Philadelphia Record shows that the mer-
chants of that city want the Ocean Steam
ship Company to put on another steamer:
after his efforts to have the Ocean
Steamship Company operate another
steamer between Philadelphia and southern
ports, General Railway Agent Charles P.
Hatch. of the Traders League, has been
pleased TO receive a copy Of a resolution
adopted by the directors Of the maritime ex-
change in favor of another steamer between
this port and Savannah, Ga"
1t is not improbable that the Ocean Steam
ship Company will comply with the request
of the Philadelphia merchants and, for the
summer season, put one Of its reserve steam-
ers on the Philadelphia line.
AS is we'll understood the world over, Sa-
vannah is the great South Atlantic port.
Her commercial Importance Is steadily in
creasing. The territory tributary to her is
being rapidly developed, and by the extern
sion Of her railroad systems and the build
ing of new railroads the territory which
contributes to her commercial Importance
is being extended. 1t is not to
be wondered at therefore that neither house
of congress objected to the plan for con-
tinuous work on the Savannah harbor i'm
provement provided for in the river and
harbor bill. If that bill becomes a law,
and there is no doubt it will. Savannah will
have twenty-s six feet of water in her harbor
within three years and her commerce will
then increase at a rate even more remark
able than that at which it has increased
within the last few years.

This is pre-eminently an era of develop
ment In Georgia. Every opportunity tina
presents itself, and even the possibilities
that are sometimes suggested by misfort-
une. are developed. Several years ago a
Cyclone swept through the timber country
in Dougherty, Worth and Irwin counties
and moved path mile wide through
some of the best timber in the state. Hardly
a tree was left standing and turpentine
farms were ruined. But the owners of the
land were not crushed, like their pines. The
land was found to be splendid for farming
the trees were nearly all down, making the
clearing cheap, aud the people went to
work. Now there are a number of fine
plantations under cultivation in the path
made by the destroying wind. one of them

road. There is no use trying to down peo-
