Going to FIX Him.

Parents cannot be too careful how they
answer the apparently trivial questions Of their
children. 1t would almost seem as if child's
dictionary we're necessity Of the age. Here is
an illustration:
PA, said little chap to his father, what
does man mean when he says, III fix your /"
Means that he'll do him up" answered the
father, briefly.
But, then, what does do him up meanY"
BOTHER You ask too many questions child
1t means that he Is going TO kill him -"
The little fellow silenced for the time
but, as events proved, he thought over the sub
ject. Soon after he was taken i'll and, the
family doctor being absent, strange physician
was summoned. Left alone with him for a few
moments the little fellow began to ask questions
"Going to cure me, doctori" he inquired
Yes, yes my little man." said the doctor
who was preparing dose, I'm going to fix
you"
What was the DOCTORS surprise to see a small
white-robed figure dart from the bed and make
Decline for the door, through which he disap-
peared. The astonished medical man followed
him and found him sobbing in his mothers
arms. To her he was relating his fears that the
doctor intended to fix" him in the sense that
his father had defined the word few weeks
before.

Gold In q Grave.

"a good turn will always turn up so that you
never get the worst of it, said Frank Painter
of Como, Col, at the Laclede hotel to a st. Louis
Democrat reporter.
How do you suppose one of the best fellows
that ever lived became rich man9 1t isn't a
long story but it shows to a finish that a square
act never goes astray, even if 1t does take some
time IN finding its way around.
"Jere Jackson came out to Colorado in the
early days without a cent to save his life. He
knocked around for year and half and lived
from hand to mouth. We all liked him and we
knew that it wasn't his fault that things didn't
turn his way, and none of the boys would re-
fuse him shelter when things came particularly
hard.
We'll, one day Jere struck out; he was dis
gusted with the world in general, aud with Mr.
jackson in particular. While piodding along
in lonely part of the country a couple of DAYS
after that he came upon the dead body of a
miner lying in the road.
Poor devil thought Jere. 4 suppose that's
how I'll fetch up
HE started in to give the dead stranger the
attention that he'd like himself and was soon
digging grave for man he had never seen
before.

buried his unknown friend in another hole and

a Chance to Helm Savannah.


In an interview in the MORNING News
yesterday Mr.. Plant, the head of the great
Plant rail way aud sJeams IiD system. said:
Il am always ready to take any steps to
bensit the commercial interests Of Savan-
nah that are practicable and within proper
bounds. Such has been the policy Of the
road ard whatever we are able to do to adj
vance those interests will be done"
We have no doubt that Mr. Plant is thor
oughly sincere. The Plant system has done
and is doing a vast deal to build up Savan-
nah 1t Is great factor in Savanuah's
prosperity. There are some things how
ever, that Mr.. Plants great railway sys-
tenn does not do, and which It seems to US 1t
could do, that would be very helpful to Sa-
vannah. One of the things to which we
allude ia to improve the schedule on the lines
leading into Florida.
IN the MORNING News yesterday express
sion was given to numerous complaints re-
ceived from people living in and near
Marianne, Fla. That section of Florida has
close business relations with Savannah. and
it is important to them and 20 Savannah
that their communication with Savannah
should be as quick as possible. But what are
the factsl 1t takes thirty-six hours to reach
Marianne from Savannah, unless a round
about route is taken, and then the time occu-
pied is thirty hours. This roundabout route
is by way of Montgomery, ALA, over the
Alabama Midland, and the Pensacola and
Atlantic.
But why should 1t take thirty-six, or even
~ 20 MaHianna from ga
vannah when by proper scheduleit can be
reached In twelve, or, at most, fourteen
hoursi
The trouble is that the train on the short
branch Of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern from cambridge Junction to Chatta-
hooohee does not connect with the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western train that leaves
Savannah IN the morning and reaches
cambridge Junction at 2:30 o'clock in the
afternoon. The short branch is only thirty
one miles long and the run over it is made
in an hour, and yet passengers from Savan-
nah arriving at Bsinbridge junction at $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon have to wait there
until O'clock next morning.
We feel sure that Mr.. Plant does not con-
slider such schedule beneficial to Sevsn-
nah, or even in harmony with the progress
i've railroad spirit of the day. The effect of
it is TO drive business away from Savannah
and send it to Pensacola and New Orleans.
Cannot MIR. Plant have the schedule
changed on the cambridge Junction and
Chattahoochee branch1 II not, why notl
Surely he does not expect Savannah to hold
the business of Mariana and its surround
ing territory if he makes it
impossible TO reach Mariana from
Savannah in less than thirty-six hours, when
he has it In his power TO shorten the time to
twelve hours without imposing any extra
burden upon his railroad system. Atten-
ton to little things like this would make
Savannahians feel that Mr.. Plant is indeed
Jealous in his efforts to promote Savannsh's
commercial prosperity.

Lieut. Gerlach, a Third infantry officer
stationed at Fort Missoula, in Montana was
taxing an early morning gallop recently over
the prairie ten or q dozen miles from the fort
when ne ran on TO big black bear The bear

Tia Indiana Anno n.ments.

| The President does not appear to have
! been particularly fortunate thus far in bis
Indiana appointments, If his purpose IS 10
| give salts action to the people of that state.
( The protest against the nomination Of ex-
| Gov. Cray for the Mexican mission was
! extremely vigorous. Some Of the most in
fuential democrats Of the state objected to
having Mr.. Gray recognized in any way by
the administration. Mr.. Cleveland, however,
thought that as Mr.. Gray had aspired to the
presidency, the vice presidency and finally
10 a cabinet position. and as he has a strong
following in Indiana, be ought 70 have
something. He gave him, therefore, about
as good an Office as he has in his gift
But the appointment that has created the
greatest dissatisfaction is that of Frank
Burke, who gets the United States district
sttorneyship Of the Indianapolis district.
The appointment was made at the request
Of Senator VOORHEES,, and il looks as if Mr..
voorhees, has q coed deal Of influence with
Mr.. Cleveland, especially as he was not
Cleveland man before the Chicago conven-
ton.
Mr. Burke is eclared to be a machine
politician Of the most Objectionable kind
and lobbyist II what the Indianapolis
Sentinel says of him is true he is hand in
glove with the corporations and an avowed
enemy of organized labor. No kind Of
reform has ever had friend in him and no
movement for the lettering of the material
condition of the masses has ever had his
support.
Mr.. Cleveland favors reforms that are
based upon reason and common sense. and
he has ever been the steadfast opponent Of
the encroachments Of corporations and
trusts upon the rights Of the people. He can.
therefore, have no sympathy with such
man as Mr.. Burke is represented TO be, and
it is difficult to understand why he should
have permitted himself 10 be persuaded by
Mr.. voorhees, 70 appoint him to so important
a place. He certainly had no personal
friendship for him, because he was an anti
Cleveland man.
The only reasonable conclusion is that he
feels it necessary to placate certain senators
of his party TO some extent because he may
have need Of their friendship and assistance
before the end OF his administration. A Presi-
dent, however much backbone be may have,
is not always free to do just as his Judgment
dictates.

A mutual protection association OF county
sheriffs, like that founded in Florida, is
rather a queer kind Of institution. Itseems
that each sherlT's cath of office should be
sufficient to obligate him TO assist any other
sheriff in the discharge Of his duty. And as
far as personal protection is concerned. the
individual sheriff has the whole machinery
of the law behind him in every lawful act
he performs in the discharge Of his duty.
The Florida sheriffs surely do not mean for
the rest of the world to understand that it
IS necessary for them to organize to pro-
tect thepselves from the Iawless element.

The great Columbian naval review and
parade will take place in New York har-
Dor on April q. The Merchants week
celebration in this city will be held the sec
ond week IN May. The time intervening
is quite enough to allow of Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Washington 20 look at
the Columbus caravels, If they can get them
to look at. Then, after that, why could
not Savannah get them for her celebra-
tionl IL is believed that the purpose is to
send the csravels to Chicago by the st.
Lawrence and the canals after the naval
parade. But If that is the purpose, why
could not the fair which will have them
for six months or more, spare them TO Sa.
vannah for few days2 1t is believed that
such an arrangement could be made. Ii is
worth trying at any rate. Savannah could
afford to pay all the expenses Of bringing
the cAravels down from and taking them
back to New York The counterparts Of
the vessels in which Columbus sailed upon
his great voyage would prove even q
greater attraction than the presence OF the
naval vessels last year proved to be- The
suggestion is offered to the May week ex-
ecuttve committee, with the al vice that a
movement 10 secure the presence OF the
vessels be made at once, before other
seeports get hold of them.

There is che prospect that some steam
bhip eompany-or probably the navy de-

steerage passenger traffic between this coun-
try and China TO attend 20 after May /.
Secretary Carlisle says the Chinese exclu-
sion act will be carried out to the letter
unless the United States supreme court
should rule against it, and at present there
appears no reason to believe that such a
ruling will be made. Up to this time there
has been no general movement on the part
Of the Chinese in this country to comply
with the law, and the time until the expira-
ton of their day OF grace" is now SO short
that they could not all register if they were
to try; hence deportation, to greater OF
less extent, appears to be certainty,
