Blacks Who Should Be Put to Work.
At fair estimate there are between
goo and 1900 colored men In this city and
its suburbs who are idle the greater part OF
their time. How they live is a mystery to
all except those who furnish them with food
and lodging. A good many OF them prob
ably are fed from kitchen windows Of houses
of white people by cooks who purloin food
from the stores OF their employees TOR that
purpose, and others depend upon their
wives and mothers who take in washing
and in other ways earn few dollars a
month.
These loaflnG blacks will not work as
long as they can get enough food TO keep
from starving and places to sleep at night.
II they were disposed TO be industrious they
could find work. They complain that they
can find nothing 10 do, but the truth is they
don't want 70 do anything. Many OF them
could have obtained employment on the
railroad that is being built between this
city and Jacksonville, but they don't appear
to have made an effort 20
do so. The contractors of the
road have recently brought from the north
several hundred Italians who are doing the
grading. That work could be done by the
unemployed colored men in this city just
as well as not, but they are not anxious to
do work OF that kind or any other for
that matter.
What should be done with these loadng
blacks is a question that the legislature
should consider seriously. There is reason
to think that there are many thieves among
them. A number Of robberies have oc-
CURED in the southern part Of this city res
Gently. In fact, they are occurring there
pretty much all the time, and it is probable
that they are committed by blacks who do
not work and have no visible means of
support.
Il 10 a question whether the existing
law against Migrants can be made 10 at the
case Of these loafing blacks. II 1t can it
ought to he enforced, and il 1t cannot the
legislature ought TO enact law by which
they could be reached and made to earn
their living. At present they are charge
upon the community. They must live some
how, and as they do no work they must be
living at the expense Of the other people Of
the city. They present problem that Is diff
cult Of solution, but II could be solved. In
all probability. II the legislature should de-
vote its attention 70 IL. Savannah Is not
the only sufferer from them. They are to
be found In greater or less numbers In q
great many other Georgia towns.

ree1h OF Gen. Reanreearh

The sudden death Of Gen. Beauregard,
which was announced in the MORNING
NEWS dispatches yesterday, was felt by
thousands of Georglans and all Of the older
citizens of South Carolina as a personal
loss. For thousands Of Georgiens assisted
in carrying out the work, upon which his
reputation as a general will rest. The prin-
cipal part of that work probably, was in
defense Of the chief seaport of South Caro-
lima
The defeuse ST Charleston harbor will
pass into history as one of the most success
full examples Of military engineering on
record. With meager resources, depleted
treasury behind him, and force of men
much smaller than he deemed necessary,
Beauregard succeeded, during a greater
part Of the war, in rendering Charleston
harbor impregnable to the most powerful
fleet that the federsls could send against ID.
So correct were his calculations, and SO
stubborn and successful his resistance to the
beslegers that Gen. Wolselsy. of the Britt
ish army, at one time commended his
operations in the highest terms
Beauregard has been called greater as an
engineer tnan as general. That may be
SO. But his victories at Bull Run and
Drury's bluff were not q whit less splendid
than bis achievements as a military engi>
neer, and will live in history.
The death of Gen. Beauregard removes

confederate army. E. Kirby Smith, now a

A Baron's Clever Ruse.

An amusing story is told of the late Baron
Jacques de Reinach, whose end was so tragic
says the London Telegraph. Last year. at a
large costume ball given in q house in the
Avenue d'Lena, the dancers were suddenly dis
turbed by the appearance of a clown wearing a
mask, who proceeded to perform acrobatic
feats worthy Of professional. Every one
crowded round the newcomer, pressing him
with questions as to his identity. but with no
result, and he disappeared. Later on in the
evening" the clown again was seen, and this time
he deigned to lift his mask. The astoniahment
of all was great when they recognized NJ. de
compliments that were showered upon him.
There we're two clowns! Baron de Reinach had
engaged the services of a well. known performer
at the Nouveau cirque. He had two costumes
made exactly alike, and after the professional
had departed VI. de Reinach appeared on the
scene and reaped his undeserved laurels.

leading newspaper in New York about
a month ago published what it declared to
be a complete list Of cabinet possibilities.
The names OF forty-seven men representing
twenty-three different states were given.
As 10 the accuracy of the prophecy the
Philadelphia Ledger has this to say: "Out
of this list only one name was guessed right,
that Of Senator Carlisle for Secretary OF
the Treasury. Col. Lamont and Mr.. Bissell
were mentioned, but the former in con-
nection with the postoflice, navy or interior
department, and the latter in connection
with the state department. In reality Col.
Lamont will be in the war and Mr.. Bissell
il the postoffice department. The names Of
Gresham, Hoke Smith and Morton we're
not in the list. Yet this newspaper had
every avenue Of information open to a
great newspaper, and nevertheless four or
five weeks ago could make forty-seven
guesses as to SIR. Cleveland's cabinet and
only bit the mark once"

The Cholera Revival.

From the Nel1 York Times (Ind.l
With the approach Of spring there is a revival
Of Asiatic cholera in the valleys OF the Don and
Dnieper rivers where the mortality was 80 APP

Australian Ballot in Alabama.

One by one the states are adopting the
Australian ballot system or some modifica-
ton Of it. 1t is now in force In nearly half
the states. and it gives satisfaction in all of
them that have triedit
Alabama has adopted ID. The bill pro-
vidiug for it passed the Senate last Satur-
day, it having already passed the House.
The governor will sign it II he has not done
so already.
The populists opposed the bill. Although
they have been clamoring for law that
would insure honest elections, they discov-
cred they didu't want such a law when the
opportunity for getting 1t was presented to
them. Their insincerity was made evidenr
by their efforts to defeat the adoption OF
the Australian ballot system.
They hope TO control the ignorant voters
among the blacks in future elections The
Australian ballot law will prevent them
from doing so. 1t will virtually disfran-
chise ignorant voters. because not being
able TO read the ballots they will neglect TO
go to the polls.
Their disfrnnchisement until they learn
TO read aud write, however, will not be
hurtful TO Alabama. On the contrary, it
will be helpful 1t insures democratic con-
troll of the state for many years
Now that Alabama has adopted che
Australian system would it not be well for
Georgia to think seriously about doing SO
That system is needed IN this state, par
ticularly in the towns. This county is very
much In favor Of IL. Lot the legislature at
its next session adopt it and there will be
one thing that will cause that body 10 be
remembered.

The Commercial Traveller.
Fcrm The amusing Jou-naI.

His home is in the sleeping car,
No vine or fig trees shade,
HIS music is its clanking wheels,
His poetry is trade,
This missionary of the mart
He spreads the true faiths germs,
The endless merits Of his house
Above all other firms.
He buttonholes the kings of trade,
His sample case unrolls,
And talks until the love of life
Grows feeble In tier souls,
The bolted doors swing wide for hins
He needs no locks nor bars.
And fears not any face of man
Beneath the sun or stars.
The heroes OF baronial times
We're armed from hair to heel,
With iron pots upon their heads
And pantaloons OF steel;
The hustler hero of to day
Is armorless and weak,
But for the vigor of his tongue,
And blushless breadth Of cheek.
He meets all men with fearless mien,
Nor knows to pause or swerve,
With liliputian bashfulneSs
And brobdignsgian nerve,
No dim distractions vex his soul;
His creed and happiness,
Is just TO make sale and catch
The two O'Clock express.
