Mr.. Andrew Csrnegie's experiment. with
colored hands in his great mills in Pennsyl-
vania will be watched with interest by the
people of the south. There is no doubt thai
the colored man. as a laborer, is superior to
the Slav, or any other foreigner. But how
are the white workmen about Mr.. Carne-
gie's mills going to take the innovationl
There are in the south numerous instances
OF colored men holding important positions
in the line Of mechanical endeavor. Col
ored firemen stoke the locomotives on at
least one railway line entering this city, md
in South Carolina licensed colored marine
engineers on the large steamers are common.
But will the white mechanics OF Pennsyl-
vania permit colored men TO work at lathes
and converters with theml

May Week Celebration.

The sentiment in favor Of festival of
some sort next May grows out Of the feeling
that once every year Savannah ought to do
something to entertain the people Of this and
adjacent states who would like to visit her.
The festivals she has had in recent years have
not all been entirely satisfactory, and the rea-
son that some do not give the movemsnt for
Festival during the coming May hearty
support, is that Savannah ought 10 offer
something little more pretsntious than she
is likely to do on so short notice. Il
No doubt very attractive programme
could be arranged between now and May l,
provided the subscriptions were liberal, but
20 do so would require very earnest and In.
telligent work.
In view of the fact that the matter has
been put Off to so late a date the suggestion
Of Mr.. Krouskofr, namely, that a,sum of
money sufficiently large TO give all who
want to come to the city free ride be sub
scribed, is well worth considering To
many free transportation would be more
acceptable than a festival, because they
want to come to the oity to make purchases.
No doubt an arrangement could be made
with the railroads that would bring large
number Of people here for the money q
festival would cost. 1t might be we'll to
find out just what sort Of a bargain could
be made with the railroads at once, so that
Mr.. KrouBkoffs suggestion could be intel
ligently considered at the next meeting of
those who are In charge of the festival
| matter.
But whatever is decided upon for the
coming May steps should be takon without
unnecessary delay in behalf Of o permanent
yearly celebration. II the proposed musical
festival could be made part of a perma-
nent celebration there would be a certainty
Of one great attraction. ~

AS supplemental to the news item In the
MORNING News dispatches day OF two
ago with regard to the treasury depart
ment's declinatlon TO exchange notes for
gold until deficiency in weight had been
made up, the following is interesting: "a
short time ago a consignment of gold was
received at the treasury department from
San Francisco. The gold came in heavy
canvas bags. and in an aggregate OF
$3.50 900 Of gold it was found that it was o
cents light in weight The cashier Of the
treasury had to make good the deficiency OF
9 cents but the bags themselves were sent
to the assay office at Philadelphia, and, at
an expense of probably hundred times the
amount OF light weight, the bags were
burned, the gold being recovered from the
bags by smelling process and returned to
the cashier, who In the end lost nothing"
In private business a shortage 80 small
would not have been noticed But Uncle
Sam demands absolute accuracy.

Mr.. Cleveland and the Cf1ce-seekers.
Washington dispatches indicate that
Mr.. Cleveland aud the members of his
cabinet are inclined to complain because
the offce-seekers seem to think the admins
tration has nothing to do but distribute the
offices. The demand for places under this
administration, however, is not greater than
it was under previous administrations.
There are offices TO be filed, and it is but
natural that there should be applications
for them, and that the applicants
should use their utmost endesvors
to get what they want. No doubt
many Of the applicants do not deserve any
recognition from their party, and more Of
them have no special fitness for the places
| for which they apply.
But in view Of the fact that the admins
tration makes no effort to find out from the
people who are the best qualified for col
lectors, postmasters, marshals and district
attorneys In their respective communities.
or who should represent the government as
ministers and consuls in foreign counties, it
is to be expected that there will be a crowd
| OF applicants, and that men of neither merit
nor modesty will get some Of the good
places 10 the Presidents gift.
II there were some rule for selecting men
for the Offices the administration would not
be annoyed 50 greatly as it is, and the
chances are that it would get much better
| class Of men to serve IL than 1t does now.
Modest men OF real merit keep away from
Washington because they cannot get their
| own consent to beg senators aud repre-
sentatives for their influence in the effort to
get offices.
II the President. for instance, should de-
sire to have a capable man, and at the same
time one who would be satisfactory to the
community, for collector of this port, or
postmaster Of this city. would it not be an
easy matter for him to ask the cotton ex-
change. the board Of trade and a number of
business men not connected with those in
situations to send him the names of half a
dozen or more men who have rendered the
party good service and are at the same
time capable and popular. from among
whom to make selections for
the Offices in question: In that way he
would be pretty certain to get hold of the
men who ought TO have the offices. and
whose appointment would come nearer Civ
ing satisfaction than appointments made in
any other way.
There is no reason in complaining Of the
crowds Of off1ce-seekers at Washington as
long as 1t is understood that those who
make no effort to get offices stand no chance
Of getting them. The appointments are
made from among those who make appli-
cation. AS long as that is the case it is to
be expected that those who want Of
| fees will apply for them and will use all
the means in their power to get them.

Little Things.
From AZ .Le1riah Mea,enn.r.

fTUHI HEs JtLUISH MeSSeHQer,
A 0ood-by kiss is a little thing,
With your hand on the door to 20.
But it takes the venom out of the sting
or a thouRhtless word or a cruel fling
That you made an hour ago.
A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare,
After the tolls of the day,
But 1t smooths the burrows out of the cara
And lines on the forehead you once called fair
In the years that have flown away.
'Tis little thing to say, You are kind.
1 love you, my dear, each night;
But it sends thrill through the neart, find.
For love is tender as love is blind
AS we climb life's rugged hight.
We starve each other for loves caress.
We take, but do not give;
1t seems so easy SOME soul to bless.
But we dole love grudgingly, less and lesa
Till it's bitter and hard to live.

An Ohio woman, living In the rural dis
trict between Niles and Warren, feels that she
has been imposed upon not to say victim
ized-buncoed. A year ago the body of a
man was found hanging by the neck TO a
tree in the woods. She identified it as the
remains Of her husband, who had been
missing for q few days, aud wept over il
and gave it decent burial at her own ex-
peDse. Furthermore, she bought and wore
weeds, with becoming show of sorrow, until
few days ago when she received word
that her husband was alive and well in
Pennsylvania. Then she got good and mad
about the mean imposition that she had
helped to be practced upon herself.

A novel convention is that of the National
BARRIERS Association, which began al Pitts
burg on Monday and will end to-day. The
knights Of the razor and shears have man
aged to formulate about as many rules re-
garding apprentices and hours of labor as
any organization eZtant, which rules the
convention was called to revise. The jour
neyTnen BARRIERS are in favor of Sunday
closing, which will al0o be acted upon by
the convention. The advisability Of striking
under certain circumstances, and leaving
mankind to the tender mercies of their
boards, is another question the delegates
will consider.

Boston authorities believe that the big
fire in that city few days ago was OF iu-
cendiary origin, and have clews which
may lead to the arrest of persons suspected.
Several deaths, it will be remembered, re =
suited from the Ere. which would put the
incendiary, should he be discovered, in a
very unenviable position. In certain states
incendiarism, or arson, IS a capital offense
and, indeed, it seems that nothing short of
capital punishment would fit such q crime
as the deliberate starting of such fire as
that was in Boston.

Some of the Washington correspondents
appear disposed to laugh at the ex-
pense Of the Presidents private secretary.
1t seems that be is a young man of peculiar
disposition, more disposed to regard his
work as Of great Importance than to regard
the making OF friends as Of prime con.
sideration. He, furthermore. wears red
morocco slippers with ''spats" on them,
which does not fit in with some OF the cor
respondents ideas of what Jsffersonian
simplicity should be. And he has an idea
that newspaper men are always after news,
wherever they go, which is found to be OBJ
jectionable to certain men Of the press.
Otherwise Mr.. Thurber is said to be quite
clever fellow.

By the Reorganization Of the committees
OF the Senate senator Nooraess has become
the chairman of the finance committee.
( This is unfortunate. Mr.. Voorhees, Is in
/ favor Of the free coinage Of silver, and
/ against the reneal Of the Sherman silver
| purchase act. He Is not a sound finsncier
| lie has been described as "the incarnation
OF unsoundness on all matters connected
| with the currency"
He would not have been given the chair
manship Of the finance committee had it
rot been Cor the usages of the Senate. He
was next in line OF promotion. and ''ssna-
torial courtesy" required that be should be
placed ct the head Of it. 1t is understood
that majority of the committee is in har-
mony ai,h him on the silver question.
dr. ~ o0rhees is not in accord with his
parry on the silver issue. The Chicago
platform calls the Sherman silver purchase
act "a cowardly max eshift' and calls for its
repeal Mr. Y oorhees can be depended upon to
use his influence and the power Of his posi-
ton to prevent its repeal unless free silver
coinage is substituted for it.
No one can predict with any degree Of
certainty what the Fifty-third congress viii
do with regard to silver, but it is absolutely
certain that if it should pass free silver
coinage bill the President would veto it.
He is against free silver coinage. because he
believes it would cause gold and silver to
part company. he believes in a sound cur
rency, and will do all he can to save the
country from the evils OF a debased cur
rency.
In his inaugural idress he said: MIAMI
testify nothing is more vital TO our suprem-
acy as a nation and 20 the beneficent pur-
poses OF our government than a sound and
stable currency. Its exposure to degrade
ton should at once arouse TO activity the
most enlightened craftsmanship; and the
danger of depreciation in the purchasing
power Of the wages paid to toll should fur
nish the incentive TO prompt and conserve
tive precaution. In dealing with our pres
ent embarrassing situation, as related to
this subject, we will be wise if we temper
our confidence and faith in our national
strength and resources with the frank con-
cession that even these will not permit US
to defy with impunity the memorable laws
Of finance and trade"
The President cannot force congress to
repeal the silver purchase act, but it is
pretty certain that he can prevent free
silver coinage act from becoming
law. What congress will do in the mat
ter Of silver is involved in doubt, but il will
have to do something. The silver dollar
cannot be kept at par very much longer II
the government continues to purchase the
amount OF silver required by the silver
purchase act.
