ports. Another case in point is that of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
that carries to other ports freight that
would come here IL the natural laws Of
trade were not interfered with
There are two partly constructed rail
roads largely controlled by our citizens
projected to Savannah. and both of them
should be completed at an early day, so
as TO counteract any and every effort that
may be made by hostile influences to
check the growth of this seaport. One
of these roads is the Middle Georgia and
Atlantic. To the company controlling it
the city council donated a part Of
Hutchinsou's Island upon certain condi-
tions. On account of the difficulty in
getting money for almost any enterprise
that has existed for the last year or two,
this company has failed to com
ply with the conditions, and,
consequently it has lost whatever
rights it had in the island. 1t is now
asking the city council to restore to it
portion of that part of the island it origi-
nally possessed. 1t claims to have spent
Sl2, 900 on the island and what it now
asks is that it be granted the eastern
half of the city's holding in the Island.
The question arises, what course should
the city council pursue in the matter
Judging from the railroad situation, as
viewed from Savannah's standpoint, it is
manifestly to the city's interest to deal
literally with the Middle Georgia and
Atlantic Railroad Company. The city has
always been disposed to be liberal in en-
couraging the building of railroads that
promised TO be helpful to Savannah, and
it would be wise to be so in this instance.
Many prominent and philosophical
men of Savannah have invested largely
in the Middle Georgia and Atlantic road,
and if the undertaking can be made a
success, the building of terminals on
Hutchinson's Island will be an induce
ment for completing other projected rail
roads and making Savannah their sea-
board outlet.
The city aided the old Atlantic and
Gulf railroad and by means of that road
the great trade that found an outlet
through the gulf ports, was turned to
Savannah. 1t was Savannah capital
that completed the Augusta and Savannah
railroad and secured for her merchants
a portion of the trade of upper Georgia
which was going to Charleston. Later,
Savannah's enterprising business men
built the South Bound railroad and thus
still further increased the city's trade.
Savannah now needs new railroad
through the center of the state, and
whatever reasonable aid can be given
those who are willing to invest their
money in such an enterprise should be
granted promptly and freely.

The Wealth of Rich Men.

The concentration of the wealth of the
country into a few hands is a favorite
theme with many of the economists of
the new school that has sprung up within
the last few years. Some of the orators
of this school are especially fond of
dwelling upon the fabulous riches of the
millionaires, and contrasting their posses
sions with those of persons among the
audience So earnest are they in their
efforts to Impress upon their hearers the
evils of this aspect of our civilization
that, beyond a doubt, they frequently
oyerstate the facts and convey a false
view of the situation The St Louis
GlObe-Democrat warns hearers of such
arguments to make allowance for ficti-
tious values that are placed upon certain
classes of property" and for the natural
prediction of persons to be taken for
more than they are worth.
Among the prominent capitalists who
have died recently there was not one
whose fortune, under the test of legal
scrutiny, turned out to amount to as
much as the popular idea estimated it to
be. jay Gould's wealth was probably
dDouJ Oue-ldli OF WudJ ne was fepuJeQ TO
be worth. 1t rarely or never happens
that the estimate Is placed too low 1t is
safe to say that the wealth of every
wealthy man is multiplied in the public
mind not that the rich mon always
seek to create wrong impression in the
matter, But there is no man who is not
always willing to be rated up to the high
est possible notch. High ratings
by the commercial agencies, IL is
probable, sometimes avert disasters; they
sustain confidence and credit at times
when their loss would mean ruin The
popular mind is enormously impressed by
fine esta blishments and costly equipagcs.
and the owner is readily credited with
more than he possesses.
1t may be that the big fortunes are big
ger than they ought to De, considering
the power they give their owners, to be
welded against the masses at pleasure.
But it is safe to say that they are not so
large or so many as some people would
have US believe.

Chert for Street Paving.

A few days ago THE MORNING NEWS
called attention to ebert as material for
street paving and suggested that trial
of it be made in this city, The Macon
Telegraph, commenting upon this sugges-
ton, says that THE MoRNING News ad-
vocates the use Of ebert in Savannah in
preference to asphalt grawacke or shell. &"
The MORNING News did not express quite
so strong a preference for ebert, because
its acquaintance with it is not sufficient
to Justify an expression of opinion in re-
spect to ~ The MORNING News is free
to say, however, that if ebert will
make as good and as durable
pavement as it is claimed it will it should
be preferred to either of the three ma
terials mentioned, because of its cheap
ness. Asphalt costs about 81 80 per
square yard and graywacke fully as
much. A shell pavement cannot be laid
for less than 80 cents per square yard
and it must be repaired very frequently.
A portion of one or two streets in Ma
con have been paved with ebert, and the
inference from what the Telegraph says
is that it answers admirably for paving
purposes.
The MORNING News stated recently
that an experiment with ebert was to be
made in this city. 1t will not take long
to determine whether or not it will an
swer for street paving here. If it
should prove to be good paving mate
rial, its cheapness would recommend its
use. About the only objection that we
have heard to tits that it makes a dusty
pavement, but it is said that if the pave
ment is frequently watered it becomes
very hard and this objection disappears.
Savannah has done a great deal of
street paving in the last few years, and
she will do a great deal more in the near
future if the experiment with olert
proves to be satisfactory.

The report Of a movement among the
white people-of Scott county, Mo, near
Bardwell, Ky, where the Ray sisters
were murdered, and black man
was lynched the other day, to run the
black people out of the locality" is prob
ably fake from beginning to end. 1t has
all the ear-marks of fake, even to the
" failure to secure absolute confirmation"
The whites of Scott county, Mo, as well
as the whites of every other county any
where else, know very well that, even if
they wished to get rid of the blacks, an
attempt to force them to leave would re-
suit in rioting and the calling out Of state
troops against themselves. But the whites
do not wish 10 run the law-abiding blacks
away. Any movement against the law
abiding blacks would find the law-abiding
whites arrayed in their defense.

At the South Carolina state capital it
is alleged that Governor Tillman is har-
boring the bigges, kind of Il political bee
in his bonnet, and tIat he desires to sue
ceed to Buffers seat in the Senate merely
as stepping stone to something greater.
Last March in Washington a scheme look
ing 70 the formltion Of a National Farm
ers' . party was discussed among alliance
and populist leaders, and the name of
Gov, Tillman was mentioned in connec-
tion with the new party leadership The
beginning ~ once Of an active campaign
among alliancemen in South Carolina is
regarded there as being in connection
with the scheme Meetings have already
been called TO be held at many of the
county seats, These meetings are under
stood to be for the purpose of cousolidat-
ing aliiancemen and pOpulists into the
farmers purity. The demands of the new
party are to be identical with those of the
farmers alliance, and Gov. Tillman may
to be its candidate for President. A Kan
sas MAN, Jerry Simpson or Gov Level
ling, may take second place on the ticket.
Gov. Tillman's whisky scheme has made
him one of the most talked about men in
the country, which fact he probably
thinks would help to make him popular
with the class to whom he would appeal
for votes And, indeed, it might.

have been practically agreed upon, al

Special excursion trains are to be run
weekly, on which as many clerks will be
taken as can be spared at one time from
the various offices. No charge will be
made for transportation and the employees
will be provided with all the modern
comforts of travelling. Officials of the
western connections are now completing
details, so far as they relate TO their lines,
and arranging at Chicago to have the
men furnished with board at very reason
