Tho Sherman Silver Law.

The indications are that the feature Of
the proceedings Of the remaining weeks OF
this congress will be the effort to repeal the
Sherman silver purchase bill. Some OF the
strongest bimetaliistS IN congress want this
law repealed for two reasons. The first Is
that IN their opinion we can never have
bimetallism while that law is in existence.
and the other is that II it remains in force
much longer gold will so TO a premium,
and the business OK the country will have
to DO done under very burdensome condi-
tions.
The silvsrttes are able TO muster q strong
opposition to its repeal, but it is difficult to
see why they are. Those of them who are
silver niuo owners, or represent silver
money constituencies, are influenced wholly
by selfish considerations. They want u
market for the nroduct Of their mines.
The great majority OF congressman. how,
ever. should have iii view only the good Of
tho country, and it can hardly be possible
that they think it is wise TO food the country
with q debased currency. The Democratic
party has declared against the Sherman
law, aud that ought to be sufficient guide
as TO the course democratic congressman
should pursue Not few republicans, in-
GLIDING Senator Sherman, are against the
law. Under the circumstances it should
not be such difficult task to repeal it as it
Is represented to be.

.Cerlisle's Opportunity.

If Senator Carlisle should accept the sec
retaryship OF the treasury he would, IN all
probability, be the leader of the administra-
tion. The chief reforms which the demo-
Gratis purpose to make are connected with
the treasury department, and that will be
the chief department during Mr.. Cleveland's
administration.
1t is understood that one OF the reasons
why Mr.. Cleveland wants Mr.. Carlisle to
accept the treasury portfolio is that he de-
sires him to outline tariff bill. He thinks
Mr.. Carlisle is more thoroughly acquainted
with the tariff than any other public man,
and that while he is tariff reformer he is
conservative in his views.
Mr. Carlisle has au opportunity, there
fore. to make a reputation much greater
than that which he now enjoys. IT ne re-
mains In the Senate he can hardly bring
himself into prominence In connection With
any Of the great reform measures, because,
being comparatively new member OF that
body, he cannot get a prominent place on
any Of the great committees. At the hoad
of the treasury department. the eyes of the
whole country would be upon him. And
there is one thing that is greatly in his
favor. 1t is that he has the confidence OF
all political parties and all classes of people.
His acceptance Of the sscretaryship OF the
treasury would give general satisfaction.

The sena,e viii Be Democratic.

After March the Senate will be demo-
cratic The control of the Montana legls-
lature by the democrats, announced in our
dispatches yesterday, will settle the poiis-
ical complexion Of the United States
Senate.
At present there are In the Senate A. re-
publicans, go democrats and populists.
The terms OF 50 senator's expire on March 4,
Of whom IL are republicans and IL are DEM
ocrats. A republican has already been
elected in one state TO succeed a republican,
and 8 democrats have been elected TO sue
coed democrats. The successors Of IS re
puhlicans and democrats are, therefore,
to he elected. All of them will, it is ex-
pec;ed, be elected this month.
OF the is republicans 10 are certain to be
succeeded by republicans. and all of the 8
democrats are certain TO be succeeded by
democrats. There remain, therefore, the
successors Of republicans to be accounted
for, Those s are TO come from the states of

Nebraska and Nevada will. in all proba
bility, elect populists. making populist SEN
ators in all, there being 9 populists In the
Senate now who will be there after March
4. The republicans viii have SO senator's.
In this statement Senator Stewart, who
heretofore has been republican, and who
will be reelected, is chased as a populist
He has virtually abandoned the Republican
party because of its position on the silver
question.
Some of the democrats in Nebraska de
clare they will elect q democratic SEN
ator from that state. The chances that they
will, however, are hardly worth considering.
The contest for the control of the legisla-
ture is between the republicans and the
populists, and the prospect is that the pop
ulists will be successful. II the republicans
should be successful there would be 40 re-
publican senators instead Of SO.
With Al senators the democrats will
be In a position to carry out the re-
forms they have promised the people. II
the populists should act with the repub-
licans on any question the democrats would
have tho advantage of the casting vote of
the presiding officer. But it is pretty GER
tain that on tariff reform and other reform
measures the populists will vote with the
democrats. The outlook, therefore, for re-
form legislation is excellent.

nostcn Save. "Hata CTR

Boston is famous as the parent OF re-
formers. Some of the most radical species of
the genus were Graded and nurtured in the
American Athens. But in the whole cata-
loRus Of advanced thinkers and workers
who have lived in that advanced town,
there appears the names OF no more in
trepId reformers than the Boston theatrical
managers who recently began war on the
high hat at the play house. On the pro-
grammes of the theater managed by these
public benefactors was and is printed the
following card: "Wnl you aid the man
sgement In its work OF hat reforms Wear
q small bonnet or remove your large hat
during the performance. The tneater is
we'll heated and protected from draughts"
And, 1t is a genuine pleasure 10 state, on
the authority of Boston papers, that the re-
quest has met with quite large number of
favorable responses. At least half of the
men who go to that particular play house
have been enabled, through the reform, to
see the stage. The consequence is that
business Is booming with the daring man
ayers who had the courage to assAI Dame
Fashion in her stronghold.
This hat reform, IL Is to be hoped will
spread until It reaches and prevails In the
uttermost parts Of the country. We need
it here in Savannah. Not that the average
theater hat worn here is enormous, but it is
frequently extremely annoying to the party
Immediately in the rear. And why should
anybody be annoyed instead OF amused at
the theater
While the subject is under discussion it
may be asked, Why should anybody wear
hats Of any kind at the theatsra Theater
buildings are invariably we'll appointed,
we'll heated in the winter and free from
drsughts. This being so what is the need
of head covering! Neither ladies nor
gentlemen wear hats at home; why should
either sex wear them for two hours at a
time in any other house, except to preserve
healthi II has been frequently commented
on In these columns that some Of the most
beautiful and graceful ladies seen at the
Savannah theater uncover their heads as
soon as they are comfortably seated and
allow them to remain so until the end Of
the performance Their thoughsfulness for
the convenience Of others il appreciated,
and their example is worthy Of emulation.

The Rules Should Be Changed.

The report that appeared in print the day
after ths arrival Of the steamship Umbria,
which was disabled in inidocean by the
breaking Of her shaft, that the steamship
Gallia, Of the same line, that met her 10 her
disabled condition, refused TO stand by
her, although requested by the captain Of
the Umbria 10 do so, is true. The Gallia
arrived at Queenstown on Monday, and her
commander, Capt Ferguson, admitted that
he had been asked to stand by" the
Umbria, but had declined to do so as he
was carrying the mails and the rules OF his
company would not permit him TO comply
with the request. Under the rules he would
not have bsen justified in waiting to see
whether the Umbria would be able to pro-
coed on her voyage without assistance. II
he had considered the lives Of the passengers
OF the Umbria in danger he would have
lent the disabled steamer ell the assistance
his power.
While the lives of the Umbria's passen-
gers were not in great danger there was a
probability that the broken shaft could not
be mended, and il a heavy storm had arisen
the steamer might have been wrecked. or
might have dr1fted out of the path Of
the transatlantic steamers. The request Of
the captain Of the Umbria that the Gallia
''stand by" is sufficient to show that in the
opinion of the Umb-in's captain the lives
of the passengers and crew were in great
deal of danger.
The rules governing the carrying of the
mails should be so changed as to meet such
conditions as those presented by the Um-
bria. If the Umbria had been lost with all
on board after the refusal Of the Gallia to
render her the favor asked. there would
have been such an outburst of indignation
throughout the civilized world as would
have compelled steamship companies to so
change their rules that the getting of the
mails to their destination would not be con-
sidered Of more Importance than standing
by" disabled steamer having hundreds OF
people on board until she was in a condi-
tion to take care of herself.

stonewall Jackson's Horee.

Among the stories captured at Harper's
Ferry. writes Mrs. Jackson in her Life of
Stonewall jackson" not.the least valuable was
q train OF cars on the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road. bound for Washington and loaded with
horses for the government. This was q lawful
prize, and was at once turned over to the con-
federate army, with the exception of two horses
which Gen. Jackson purchased. Thinking that
hostiities would soon be over, he selected the
smaller OF the two, pretty sorrel, es present
for his wife.
Gen. Jackson had several other horses, but
preferred the little sorrel to them all finding his
gait, as he expressed it, las easy the rocking
of cradle" he rode this horse in nearly every
battle In which he was engaged.
Fancy" as the sorrel was named, seemed
almost interchangeable. One reason, perhaps, wes
that he always lay down When the command
halted for s rest. His master made pet Of
aim, and often fed him with apples from his
own hand.
After being lost for tins upon the fall Of
Gen. Jackson at Charlottesville. the horse was
found by confederate soldier and kindly sent
to the Jackson family in North Carolina He
lived many years in Lincoln county on the
farm OF Dr.. Morrison, father-in-lsw of the gen
eral.
One of the young Morrisons USED TO saw
that Old Fancy as ne was always called on the
farm, had more sense than any horse he ever
saw"
He could make as good use OF his mouth in
lifting latches and letting down bars as a man
could with his hands. One OF his habits was
to let himself cut OF his stable aud then 90
deliberately to the doors OF all the other
horses and mules, Hibernate each in turn and
then march off to TIE grain fields with them all
behind him-like soldier leading his COM
mRnd.
But ne was such pet that his misdemeanors
passed for cleverness. He was often taken
to county fairs, where he was an object of As
much interest IS one Of the old heroes Of the
war
He was more than 80 years Of age when he
died, in 1886, at the Soldiers home In Richmond
A stuffed effigy OF this old war horse may still
be seen in a glass case in the library OF the
home.

The eleventh census, il is believed, will be
completed and published by the end of the
present year. 1t will than have cost about
5000 900, or c3.000,00O more than the
tenth census. The difference is accounted
for in the fact that the eleventh census COW
ers a greater number of points Of inquiry
than the tenth, and will be contained in a
larger number Of volumes. The tenth CEN
sus was burdeued With useless statistics, and
the present one will be worse, to the extent
of 5000 0O0-the difference in cost besides
being comparatively worthless as book of
reference, inssmuch as the gathering and
compilation OF the facts were dominated by
a dssire to make protection show up as a
blessing to all classes Of people. 1t is to be
hoped that when the time for providing for
the next census shall have arrived the gov
eminent will be in the hands Of the dem-
ocracy, and that provisions will be made to
keep the work out Of politics. make the sub
jects of inquiry few and put the completed
work in the hands Of the people before it
becomes ancient history.

A GOOD Suggestion.

The Chicago Tribune suggests that in-
stead Of admitting Utah into the union it
be annexed to Nevada. 1t has population
of POS, 900 aud Nevada has population Of
little more than 10000. Nevada has half
tho population Of Savannah, and yet has as
potent q voice III the United States Senate
90 the state OF Georgia. 1t is a wonder that
q way was not found long ago 10 take from
it some OF its political power.
= The fact is the state is little more than an
abandoned mining camp. In 1850 it had 8
population OF about 81 Geo, and in 1880 only
about 10000 human beings could be found
within its borders, IA great many Of whom
were Chinese. At the rate at which it is
losing its population there " i'll not be enough
people in the state to hold an election ten
years hence.
Utah isn't growing very fast, but it is
growing, and in the course of time will con-
tain very respectable population. II it
were united to Nevada it would not be long
before nothing would be left OF the latter
except its name.
1t is probable that the politicians Of Ne
vada would not receive the suggestion rela-
tive to Utah with favor. They don't care
about their state becoming rich and
populous. There are just about Offices
enough now TO go around, and they are salts
fed. They don't have much trouble to keep
the political machine IL good order,
and it is rather profitable machine.
in fact, Nevada would never have been ad-
mItsed to the union had ii not been that the
Republican party needed a couple of more
senators about the time Of the admission.
The Iribune's suggestion for getting rid Of
the deserted mining camp is about the best
that has vet been made.
