A Baltimore dispatch quotes Senate
German as having said that the repeal of
the sherman silver law was diiicult
matter to handle. but that it would be
brought about as soon as could be reason
ably expected. He said that he intended
20 do,what his Judgment dictated, regard
less Of popular clamor.
The republicans, he declared. are try
ing 10 make party capital out Of the stu
ton, and are determined that the demo-
Gratis shall get no credit for what congress
might do. The senator declared it to be
his purpose to secure for the democrats
whatever credit may arise from the action
of congress, because they viii be held re-
sponsible for that action
If Senator German is quoted correctly
much of the delay in giving the country
relief from financial troubles is due to a
contest between the democrats and re-
publicans for the credit that will be given
to the party that is chiefly instrumental
in providing the relief This is a condi-
tion Of affairs that will hardly be appreci-
ated by the people. Their difficulties are
of so serious a character that they are
not likely to be much interested ia the
kind of a contest of which Senator Cor
man speaks. What they wan, Jand want
quickly, is legislation that will restore
confidence, so that the locked up and
boarded money will be put into circula-
ton again. When that is done the peo-
pie will be so grateful that they will not
pay much attention to any claims that
republicans may make to the credit for
the relief legislation. They will be CRATE
full to congress, which is democratic in
both branches.
If THERE'S a majority in the House and
Senate for the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman silver law, and Senator Cor
man knows there is, it is his duty as the
democratic leader of the Senate to urge
that vote be taken as soon as possible
If he favors delay for any other cause
than that haste would imperil success, he
does not understand how imperatively
urgent the need for relief is Every days
delay is attended by sacrifices, and many
days delay means far greater financial
disasters than those which have already
occurred. ,tt

&c stopped the sermon.

When the Rev. w 7. Chase, the now fam
Gus divine, was at the Bates Street Baptist
church in Lewiston, says the Journal of that
city, he was growing preacher. No man
ever talked more spontaneously or Cenially
and yet he had a theory as TO the time slimit
of sermon, 1t was this; That the golden
mean for q sermon is exactly thirty five
minutes. Thirty minutes of good talk Is not
enough and forty is two much
BY degrees as Mr. Chase expanded in work
he fell . victim to ampliieation. Little by
little his sermons grew. Sometimes he over
called bait and proceeded to open a court of
inyestigatoni 10 parishioner he said:

Being mother in Israel, the parshioner
SAID:

Everybody IN Lewiston remembers Deacon
Wright, that sanity man with white hair and
p % aid horse. Every enc knows that he was
rarely absent from church. On this day there

Senator vnorhees, sneech.

The spccchof Senator voorhees, yester-
day made profound impression. What
added force 10 what be said is the fact
that until quite recently he was "a
warm friend of silver. He is friend OF
silver sull but he has bccome convinced
that the free coinage Of silver At an in
creased ratio is practically impossible.
And il would be ruinous at the present
ratio, because silver would be a depreci-
atcd currency, and the country would be
forced to a silver standard One of the
results would be an immediate contrac-
tion Of the currency 70 the extent Of over
sG00000,O00, the amount of gold in the
country, because gold would 20 out Of cir
culation and would be shipped abroad
The silverites have not yet pointed out
how the difficulties in the way of free sill
yer coinage can be overcome, They have
theories which they doubtless believe to
be correct, but their theories do not sat
isfy practical business men. They are
good material for the stump speaker, but
they don't stand the test of analysis.
Senator Voorhees, is a convert TO the po-
sition taken by the President in his mes
sage, namely, that it is the duty of con-
Fress TO repeal the Sherman silver law
promptly and Internationally That is
the purport of The bill upon which he ad-
dressed the Senate yesterday, and which
he introduced as the chairman of the fl
nance committee He favors bimetallism,
but he doesn't at present see a safe way to
accomplish it. There is a way, but it
cannot be made Immediately available.
The impression is becoming stronger
that the unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man law will be brought about. What the
effect of repeal would be can be pretty
fairly estimated. On account of the grow
ing belief that repeal will be effected
there was a much better feeling in finan-
cial centers yesterday Money was easier
and the prices of securities were higher
The repeal of the Sherman silver law
would restore business to its normal con-
ditiOn.

Committee ohairmanships.

The appointment of Representative
Wilson, of West Virginia, to the chair
manship of the ways and means commit
tee, instead of Representative Springer,
of Illinois, and the appointment of Repre-
sentative Sayers, of Texas, to the chair
manship of the committee on3appropria-
tions, instead of Representative Holman,
of Indiana, was not unexpected. There
was great deal of opposition to putting
MIR. Springer at the head of the ways
and means committee and Mr.
Holman at the head of
the appropriations committee, and the
speaker would have been severely criti-
cised if he had refused to yield to it.
Both Mr.. Springer and Mr.. Holman are
held in high esteem by the House, but
they are not regarded as being as well
qualified for the chairmanships to which
they aspired, and which they held in the
last congress, as the gentlemen who have
been appointed to those positions. There
was considerable dissatisfaction with
Mr.. Springer as chairman of
the ways and means committee
in the last congress, and
also with Mr.. Holman as chairman of the
committee on appropriations Mr.
Springer lacks the qualities of a leader
and he is not strong debater. A man
who undertakes To carry tariff measure
through the House must be leader and
have a broad and comprehensive l1nowl-
edge of the tariff The fault that was
found with MIR. Holman was that he took
up to much time in Directing to apprOpria-
lions that had to be made, and that his
"cheese pairing" policy did not, in fact
result in any saving to the government.
Mr.. Spinger and Mr.. Holman
have been given chairmanships of i'm
portant committees, but it is not proba-
BILE that they or their friends are satisfied
with the places to which they have been
assigned. Indeed, Mr.. Springer says that
he was greatly surprised when he learned
that he was not to get his old place at
the head of the ways and means commit
tee. 1t was only natural he should be,
but, being good democrat he will rem
der the best service of which he is capa-
Bile as chairman of the committee on
banking and currency, and so will Mr.
Holman as chairman of the committee on
Indian affairs.
Mr. Wilson, the chairman of the ways
and means committee, is particularly well
informed in respect to the tariff,
and he is, besides, man of
broad views in respect to the tariff and
is well able to meet in debate the ablest
and best equipped defenders OF the re-
publican side of the tariff issue
Mr.. Savers has made his mark in the
House for careful and conscientious work.
He can be depended upon to keep the APP
preparations within the revenues and at
the same time to deal fairly with every
interest.

Atlanta,s Unemploved.

Atlanta has acted wisely IN providing
employment on her public works for her
unemployed and needy people rather than
distributing food among them Those of
them who really want to earn living
will accept any employment they can get
and at any price that will enable them to
keep the wolf from the door until the
hard times have passed If a free dis
tribution of food were made the city
would become the headquarters for all
the tramps within hundreds of miles.
and, besides, many who are well
able to help themselves would depend
wholly upon public charity. The burden
that would be placed upon the city would
be greater than she could carry.
There are, no doubt, suffering people in
Atlanta, but the situation there in that
respect IS not different from what it is in
nearly every other city in the country.
Probably Atlanta has more unemployed
people than any other Georgia city, be-
cause she has a large number of small in
dustries of one kind or another, some

Here in Savannah the pinch has not
been felt very severely yet by the work
ing people, because the great majority of
them are employed as laborers. The
naval stores season has been active and
the movement of cotton is beginning.
The outlook, therefore, is that the mum
Der of unemployed here will not be very
large even if the hard times should con
tinue until late in the fall Still there
are a good many who find it difficult to
get the uecessaries of lie.
1t is folly to blame the railroads and
owners of industries for the existing con
dition of affairs Nearly all kinds OF
business are being conducted at a loss
and employers are kept on a strain to get
the money to meet their weekly pay rolls
If congress would do what the whole
country is demanding shall be done
namely, repeal the Sherman silver law
promptly and Internationally there would
be an almost immediate Improvement in
the monetary situation and return OF
prosperity.

A New York church has adopted, to in

The number of beggars in the city at
present appears to be considerably greater
than usual. And the opportunities of
some of them are about equal to holding
up the passer-bE On Saturdays es-
pecially the beggars are in evidence on
Broughton street and other prominent
thoroughfares, with their horrible de
formities or hurts exposed in manner
calculated to work upon the sympathies
of the people. There are deserving ,un-
fortunates among them, of course, but
the majority give evidence in their faces
and demeanOr that they are INSCRIPTIONS
impostors. Among the lot is one excep-
tionally bold fellow who goes on crutches.
though il there is anything the matter
with his legs or feet it is not apparent
His special beat is along Bull street and
his harvest time is on Saturday night
He wears neat black Prince Albert coat,
black felt hat such as southern con-
gressmen frequently affect, a gold watch
chain and presumably a gold watch, gold
trimmed spectacles and neatly blackened
and brushed CATERS. His copper colored
face is fringed with black whskers and
beard and his general appearance is that
of a well-to-do mulatto. But the fellow
will hail man or woman fifty feet away
and beg nickel or dime, and follow the
person hailed fifty feet further repeating
his request. A gentleman who noted his
business early last Saturday evening was
surprised to sec him, on a Belt Line car
about midnight, tender the conductor a
50 bin from which to take his fare, saying
as he did so that heghad nothing smaller
with him.

The servant girls who went to Chicgo
to grow rich during the worlds fair are
said to be returning east as fast as they
can. They thought they had only to
reach the worlds fair city to secure posi-
tions that would pay them exceedingly
large wages, at least during the continu-
ance of the fair. But they were mistaken.
Not only did they fail to get large wages,
but most of them failed to get any wages
at all. The city was flooded with help
and the supply was so much greater than
the demand that rates of wages went
Il UGH lower than they We're in the east.
The carrying of colored walters from
Georgia and Florida to the fair may have
had something to do with the failure of
the whites to get employment. However,
the house-keepers of the eastwill welcome
the girls back.

burg Dispatch the other day an adver-
tisement inviting bids for $4,000 in cur
rency that the bank had on hand The
paper not only refused to publish the ad-
vertisementSbut read the bank a singing
lecture on patriotism, the wickedness of
usury and the superlative au-around
badness of the policy the bank sought to
adopt. The Dispatch refused to be a
party TO any attempt to force up premi-
ums on money and increase the stringency
when the efforts Of every sincere and con-
scientious man should be addressed to the
relief Of the situation. Pittsburg is to be
congratulated upon having such a paper.
