Remove ~ panrer So.

The Savannah. Florida and Western
railway has begun The work of filling the
pond at the intersection of the railroads
and the White Bluff road, concerning
which there has been So much complaint
recently. As only a part Of the pond is
on the road right of way 10 is probable
that the road will not hu ina the whole
pond, and hence the people living in the
yiciuityof 10 will still have ground for
complaint The understanding is that a
portion of the pond is on the City and Su-
burbau's right of way. Is that road do
ing anything toward removing the danger
spot3 If not why not2
1t is said that if the City and Suburban
does not discharge its duty in the matter
promptly the county commissioners will
take action against it at their next
meeting. Is not that putting off
the matter too long} If the pond is caus
ing cases Of malarial fever ought it not TO
be removed at oncel If the commission
ers should decide to take legal action
against the road how long would
it be before they could compel it
to discharge its duty2 If the removal
of the pond depends upon legal proceed
ings it is pretty safe to say that frost will
come before the pond is drained.
If it be true that the pond is likely to
produce sickness it ought to be drained at
once. In fact it ought TO have been drained
several weeks ago. The only way to have
the work done Immediately is for the
county to do it, and 1t would be better for

be any malarial fever in the vicinity of
the pond,
1t was stated last night that only a
small part of the pond is on the City and
Suburban's right of way and that the
road would fill in that part of it to-day.
1t seems, then, that the pond will still re-
main after the roads have done all that
can be required of them.
A physician, who has large practice
in the southern portion of the city, said to
the MORNING NEWS yesterday that every
time it rains there is quite a pond on the
line of the belt road at the corner of Mont
gomery and Best streets, and that there
has been quite number of cases of ma
larial fever there recently. That locality
is just outside of the city limits, and
therefore it is hardly probable that the
city authorities will have the pond
drained. The county authorities ought to
require the Belt Line to drain it, if it is
the duty of that road to do so. If not,
they ought to have it drained at the ex-
pense of the county.
1t is apparent that such matters ought
to be attended to without delay. Sick
ness that can be prevented ought to be
prevented. 1t is somebody's duty to see
that all the puddles and ponds in and
about the city that are likely to cause
malarial fever are drained or filled in.
The city is very healthy now and nothing
OUGHT to be left undone to keep it so.

The silver men have au along been
claiming that they represent The people
and that the people are Ciamoruus Tor the
free coinage OF silver af the existing ratio.
One Of the silver men who has talked this
way. and who has been declaring that the
south and the west would stand together
iu demanding the fullest kind of rccoEu,-
tion Of silver is Congressman Bryan, of
Nebraska Mr. Bryan made speech for
silver when the Wilson bill was pending
in the House which his friends declared
was a masterpiece of parliamentary ora
tory 1t was an eloquent speech and made
quite au impression upon those who are
controlled by their feelings rather than
their reason. 1t was such speech as
nearly all the silverites make. II abounded
in assertions and lacked facts and argu-
ments 1t utterly failed to convince the
democrats of Nebraska that Congressman
Bryan is a fit man 10 lead them.
The state democratic convention of
Nebraska met at Lincoln Thursday 1t
was quickly developed that there were
two factions-one favoring the free coin
age Of silver, led by Congressman Bryan,
financial policy of the administration 1t
did not take long to discover which was
the stronger. Congressman Bryan was
repudiated, and he and his few followers
were told, in ringing resolutions, that the
democracy of Nebraska declares that it
recognizes in commercial and financial af
fairs no north, no south, east or west;
that the independence of the states as
one people ordains the closest identity of
interest without regard to section or To-
cality, and that all teachings to the con-
trary, by whomsoever disseminated, are
false and pernicious.
Congressman Bryan will go back to
Washington somewhat wiser man. He
can now tell his friends in congress who
are striving to force a debased currency
upon the country that he did not under
stand the sentiments Of the democrats of
Nebraska, and that he has not repre-
scented them in congressional they favor
the financial policy of Mr.. Cleveland and
take no stock in the talk about uniting
the south and west to force upon the
country dishonest currency.
There are other silver congressman who
will have their eyes opened by the action
Of the people of their respective states
before long, They will discover that in
Surprising that the people are clamorous
for the free coinage of silver they are
mistaken. What the people are asking
for is more currency in their respective
sections. They are not asking for a
cheap silver currency. They desire a
sound and stable currency.

Would Mr. Cleveland Resign P
Prom the New York Sun lDeml.

Our esteemed neighbor and reformed mug
wump conteml o AIRY the New York Times,
continues TO take gloomy view Of the pros
poets OF unconditional repeal. Day before
yesterday it expressed the opinion that the
situation in the Senate could lie worse only il
the repeal had already been voted on and de-
feated. Yesterday the same estimable Jour
nal introduced a new and somewhat startling
idea by considering the question whether, in
case the democratic majorities in the Senate
ana the Rouse should nnally ADOPT and pass
a compromise measure, the President would
sign the bill or send in his resignation. It's
own opinion on this point is positive ITO
such measure, says the Times Mr.. Cleve-
land is less likely to give his signature than
to a resignation Of his office"

Whitelaw Reds idea that the result of
elect on may be mitigated by a petition pre-
sented to those who were successful in the
polling by those who were beaten, that the
whole current of events may be changed, is a
novelty. Perhaps Mr.. Whltelaw Reid will
next propose that a petition be presented to
congress asking that congress reconsider its
finding that Mr.. Stevenson was elected Vice
President of the United states, and proceed
to declare that Mr. Whitelaw Reid was
really the successful person, and therefore

Compromise pifioult.

From the New York Tribune Rep0,
The chance of silver repeal seems to vary
from day to day. Late reports indicate that
democratic comprOmisers and silver men are
not entirely agreed on the basis OF compro-
mise, and it is supposed to be a matter of
some importance that President Cleveland
does not assent to proposals thus far made.
1t may be questioned whether this difficulty
is of as much importance as some imagine.
on any settlement Mr. Cleveland would find
ii hard to place himself on the republican
side. But it may e set down as certain that
no compromise will prevail unless by practi

The silverites who have been trying to
make capital out of the fact that the
Secretary of the Treasury did not buy
as much silver either in July or August as
the law authorizes have not succeeded to
their entire satisfaction. The inquiry
sent to the secretary relative to the mat
ter brought the answer that spectators
got control of the silver market and tried
to make the government pay more than
the market price for silver. The secre-
tary wouldn't pay more than the market
price, and the spectators got mad about
it. Tho secretary knows his duty too
we'll. however, to be driven by the silver
ties, or to permit the government to be
gouged by spectators.

Gov. Tillman's liquor raids are arous-
ing a good deal of bitter feeling in the
towns of South Carolina. But it looks as
if the raids would continue, notwithstand-
ing the heated condition of the public
mind. The governor has his trademark
registered now, and none but the Pal
metto brand of whisky will be sold, and
that will go out through the state dis
pensaries. Gov. Tillman is proving him
self a greater man than some Of his
friends thought him.

NC pisaster on the qulf COAST

The hurricane that swept a large por-
ton of the coast of Louisiana, Mississippi
Alabama and Florida the first part of
this week, full account of which has ap-
peared in our dispatches, was even more
disastrous than the hurricane that de-
vastated the sea islands on the Georgia and
South Carolina coast a little more than a
month ago. 1t is estimated that fully
POO lives were lost in the Gulf coast hur-
ricane, and that several millions of dol
lars worth Of property were destroyed.
In the hurricane on the Georgia coast
about 900 lives were lost, and the dam
age TO crops, buildings and shipping
amounted to millions of dollars.
This has been year of great storms
along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. There
was a storm that was very destructive to
shipping on the North Atlantic coast Just
before the storm that swept the coast of
Georgia and South Carolina. Even the
cyclones that visit the west and demolish
whole towns are not so destructive of
life as the storms that have visited the
South Atlantic and Gulf coasts this year
More than 1000 people have lost their
lives in these storms, and perhaps $4,000
have been made dependent upon charity
The Red Cross Society is now looking
after the sick and poverty stricken peo-
pie on the sea islands on the South Caro-
lima coast and there has been an urgent
call for aid in behalf of the sufferers from
the Gulf coast storm.
1t is to be hoped that it will be a long
time before the southern coast country is
visited by another great storm. Those
we have had this year will linger long in
the minds of the people.

CURRENT COMMENT.
A Hopeful Journal.

From the Philadelphia Times, Qnd.).
In another week we confidently expect that
the Senate will pass the repeal without con
ditiOns. Congress may then take up calmly
and deliberately the serious financial and
economic problems that confront it, having
given the country assurance that in any event
the public credit and the integrity of the cur
rency will be preserved.

Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri,
has just made his maiden speech in con-
gress. In the course of it he told the re-
publicans that the democrats would re-
tain possession of all the departments of
the government for the next quarter of a
century. OF course the republicans now
feel easier, knowing how long a time they
will have in which to take a rest.
In his estimates for his department for
the next fiscal year Secretary Hoke
Smith makes a gratifying showing of
economy. He asks for about $1,000. 0OC
less than was asked for last year. The
administration is pledged to economy
and economy will be observed wherever
it is possible TO do so.

The President has been giving too much
personal attention to the claims of office
seekers. He has worn himself out trying
to discover who are fit men to ill the
offices. He proposes hereafter to accept
the recommendations made by the heads
of departments to which the appointments
relate, instead of undertaking to pass per-
sonally on the merits of the applicants
individual case and making the selection
himself. Senators and representatives in
congress, and politicians generally, have
been informed of the new order of things,
and now, instead of making personal
appeals to the President, they direct their
best energies to securing the Endorsement
of the members of the cabinet having
jurisdiction in the matter This plan
divides the work among eight men and
gives the President more time to devote
TO the consideration of the general bust
ness of the government. Although it adds
to the official burden of the cabinet min
listers, it is said TO be responsibility
they are perfectly willing to assume.
They will have a chance now to reward
some of their friends; that is, they will
give places to some of those of their
friends who are found to be worthy of
them.

1t was announced in THURSDAYS dis
patches Of the MORNING News that the
supreme court has sustained Gov. Till

for his Palmetto brand of pine top whisky

1t will be remembered, rejected the ap-
plication. The governor refused to ac-

The case was this: ITO bring themselves
within the letter of the law the South
Carolina authorities shipped a case of the
Palmetto whisky to Canada, where it was
sold at nominal price. Having thus
established the trade Of the state with a
foreign country Governor Tillman applied
TO the United States patent Office to have

1t seems that there is going to be some
thing of fight in the House on the ques-
ton Of paying the claim which Florida
makes against the United States for
money expended to suppress Indians in
that state between 1856 and 1857. The
amount of the claim with interest is
1861, 955. The majority report favors pay
ing the claim. A minority reporthas been
filed which says that but ninety-eight
Indians were engaged in the hostilities
that the United States had an ample
force to suppress the hostilities and dis
tinctly declined the services of the troops
for whose services it is now sought to re.
imburse the state. In 1867, when Florida
put in her bill against the United States
this item was not included A statement
in the report shows that the United
States has paid $97l, 1853 for military servi
ces in Florida between 1919 and 1861
Still it is probable that Florida will have
her little bill allowed.

The st. Lonis Convention.

The ST. Louis convention of alleged
bimetallists was an insignificant affair.
Gov Tillman, who was made chairman
of it, was forced to offer an excuse for so
small an attendance of delegates. He
said the power of the press had kept the
delegates away-that the press had
sneered at the convention and belittled
it. What nonsense! The governor must
have known that that excuse was not a
valid one. The reason there were so few
delegates present, was that there was
comparatively little interest IN the con-
vention and the object it had in view.
Even the delegates Gov. Tillman himself
appointed from his own state did not
attend, with one exception, and that one
is reported to have said he was not in
sympathy with the convention.
The convention was dead failure. 1t
will have no influence in strengthening
the silver sentiment. In fact, it empha-
sized the very general belief that there is
no strong sentiment in the country in
favor of the free coinage of silver at the
present ratio The people don't want a
debased currency and they won't have it,
All that the Tillmans and Waites and
Leases aad Stewards and Tellers' can say
cannot make them believe they want such
a currency.
The convention hardly attracted pass
ing notice. 1t will be forgotten before
Gov. Tillman gets back to his dispense
ries. The fact that it passed resolutions
in favor of the free coinage of silver and
against repeating the Sherman silver law
will not have the least influence on con
gress.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-10-07

One of the difficult things to understand
is the constant assertion of the silver SEN
ators that they speak for the people.
Where are the people who are demanding
the free coinage of silver at the ratio of
Is to /? Are they to be found in any CON
siderable numbers anywhere outside of
the silver states2 Both the Missouri SEN
ators are silverites, and yet there are
good reasons for saying that three-fourths
of the people of that state want the Sher-
man silver law Internationally repealed.
