Gains and ! osses.

Margaret E. Sdn9Ster, in Harpe 8 Bazaar.
Come the hours when we sit in the shadow
That falls like the droop Of wing
Ger the nest that Ia naked and empty
When the fledglingsl ave learned how 70 sing,
Then woe is tie heart for the old time,
The time that was busy and gay. ss..y
With the world and its clamor about US,
And we in the midst OF the fray
In the shadow We count up our losses;
We creep where We marched with the best.
o. the ache when we try to walk softly,
The cry of our soul against rest.
And we prieve for tho golden heads vanished;
Our children are women and men.
And wlstfu and deep is the yearning
To have them but children again.
And we fret DER the fruitless endeavor,
The lsbor that satisfied not.
Till the shadow grows thicker and longer
Aud the blur IN our eyes is blot
On the lingering splendor of sunshine.
That taps with its lances of light,
At the shut and barred door Of our memory,
And after-gow radiant and bright
Do we see nothing else but our losses
We mourning there. fools and purblind.
With the crown and the kingdom before us,
The conflict and turmoil behind?
Shall the harvest lament for the seed-time
The bud be less blithe than the leaf?
Is there JOY when the pillow breaks the furrow.
And none when the hand binds the sheafi
O wings that are folded an dropping,
Spring wide in the evenings upllft:
Reach out TO the stars that are showing
The skies in q silvery ri t.
No day of our days Is SO hallowed
AS that when we see, Just before.
The light in the house of orr father
Shine out through his half open door.

The Last o. the Elections.

The municipal election to-day will be the
last election IN which Savannah will take 9
part for some time. And It is certain hat
about everybody will be glad when the sea-
son for elections is over. There have been
five elections in the last three months, and
the people have lad enough OF registering
and voting for while. The first was the
state election in October, and then follow ed
the national election, tie election fer county
officers, the election for justices of the
peace. and now We are having an election
for mayor and aldermen.
There are too many elections. They &C.
cupy too much Of the time and attention
OF the people. 1t would be saving OF time
and expense if the city and county elections
could be held on the same day. 1t might be
even possible TO arrange plan by which
one set Of officials could manage the affairs
Of both the city and the county. The inter-
este Of the county, outside Of the
city. are not as yet 80
great that one government would
that If they could lie placed under one
government a very considerable amount
might be saved In salaries OF officials.
Now that local politics will soon cease TO
absorb so much Of the attention OF people
of this city it is reasonable to expect that
they will turn with renewed interest ond
energy to the work OF establishing new in
dustries and extending the city's trade.
The prospect 10 that the year will be an
important one in the city's history
A new railroad connection with
Florida and the north will be
completed In the early fall. and 1t ought to
add greatly to the volumeiot the city's
business. 1t will if our merchants take ad
vantage OF the opportunities which it will
offer them. Much OF the phosphate that is
now shipped abroad by way of Tampa and
Fernandina ought to be shipped by way of
Savannah. 1t will not be a difficult matter
Co greatly increase the volume of exports,
and with increased exports there will be an
increase in many other kinds of business
There are signs that there will
be a great deal of building during the
year. A good many improvements of
one kind aud another are projected. Work
on the river will go right along until the
improvement, which promises a channel of
20 feet to the sea, is completed. The new
public building will be begun In the spring.
II Savannah citizens will pull together
steadily and earnestly they will have the
satisfaction OF seeing her advance rapidly
in wealth and population.

The COMMITTEES, on Worlds Congress o:
Representative Women. being subor2an-
isation of tho Womnn's Branch Of the
Worlds Congress Auxiliary Of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, according 20 the
circulars, has issued call for Congress OF
the representative women Of the world to
be held IN Chicago some time during tho
exposition season of 1898, lhs exact date 20
be made known later. Ii the ladies wouli
get rid of part of tho cumberson title Of
u cir organization they might save Them
selves the danger Of writer's palsy every
time they have occasion to sign on official
document. The laudable object of
the congress, however, is to discuss
every living question pertaining to the
education or employment Of women" This
general head has been divided into eight
parts; education, industry, art, rhil-
anthrophy and charity, moral and social
reform, religion, civil law and govern
ment, upon which subjects the leading
thinkers among women the world over will
be invited 70 submit papers. This congress,
by the way, Is not to take the place of or
interfere with the regular woman's con.
sress on general subjects; this one is to be
merely a side issue. though on large scale
1t will probably be one of the interesting
features OF the fair inasmuch as the names
OF the ladies on the managing committee in
dictate that erudite papers on some of the
perplexing questions Of the day will be SUBJ
nlitted.

The news that Senator Carlisle has de-
cided to enter Mr., ClevelAnd's cabinet. as
published in the MORNING News yester-
day, will probably make the legislators of
the Blue Grass state smack their lips and
dream dreams of Atherton's Ak velvet
brand and Sherley's old amber-colored
liquid with the delightful flavor. For both
Atherton and Sherley are distillers Of
"stuff that is hard to beat" even in Ken
lucky, and each is a candidate for Carlisle's
seat. How the Kentucky legislator is GO
ing to decide between them is a mystery.
Maybe the best thing TO do is to leave
them both at home and send some man to
Washington against whom no breath Of
whisky could be brought-it he can be
found in Kentucky.

G ckran stards By Cleveland


In an interview In New York day or
two ago Congressman Cochran. the Tam
many orator, said: II knoe that any
enemy Of Mr. Cleveland cannot te fliendly
with the New York democracy. believe
that the future OF the Democratic party
lies with Sir. Cleveland. He has put the
party where It is to-day; 10 has already
proved himself the man of the party, and
the New York democracy will support him
in every wav. That know"
1t will be admitted by those who remem-
Der Mr.. Cockran's speech at the national
democratic convention that the foregoing 10
q remarkable political utterance. At the
national convention Mr.. Cochran declared
that MIR. Cleveland could not carry New
York, and that he was the most popular
man in the country every day in the year,
except election day. 1t looks as If Mr..
Cochran has reached the conclusion that be
was alistaken in his estimate Of Mr.. Cleve-
land, and is now willing to be guided, and
to have the party guided. by him.
But what does MIR. Cochran mean by his
statement that ANY enemy Of Mr.. Cleve-
land cannot be friendly with the New York
democracyp Does he not moan that Tam
many and the entire democratic organiza-
ton of New York will give Mr.. Cleve-
land a marty support, even though Senator
Hill should show a disposition TO embarrass
MIR. Clevelands administration II he does
not mean that, what does heimeAni There is
no longer any doubt that the relations be-
tween mir. Croker and Senator Hill are
less cordial than they were. The Albany
incident-the assertion that Mr.. Croker said
that Senator Hill should be in Washington
attending to his senatorial duties instead OF
being at Albany interfering in state poll
longer regards Senator Hill as necessary to
him. 1t is certain that Mr.. Croker would
not have assumed such an attitude toward
the senator If he had not felt certain that
be had the approval of Mr.. Murphy, Lieut..
Gov. Sheehan and other democratic leaders.
If Mr.. Murphy 10 the Senate and Mr..
Cochran in the House give Mr.. Cleveiands

make much difference what the disposition
of Senator Hill toward the administration

New York or Washington, unless he puts

Keep in view the City.s Welfare.

In the election to-day the city's interest
should be the matter OF the first considera-
ton. Every citizen is interested, in greater
orless degree, in having q city government
that has the confidence and approval OF the
people. Voters can very well afford to for
get friendships and enmities and business
relations In selecting the candidates for
whom to vote. Indeed, IL is their duty TO
do 3d. 10 is a matter of the highest inn
portance that the best men obtainable shall
be chosen TO manage municipal affairs.
There is nothing to be said against the
platform of either candidate for mayor
Both candidates are well known citizens
Mr.. McDonouRh has made a good mayor
and Mr.. Harmon has rendered good service
in council as chairman of the street and
lane committee. Mr.. McDonougb, how
ever has not only made a good mayor but
he has rendered the city on extraordinary
service in enforcing the ordinance pro-
hibiting the opening Of saloons on Sundays.
Under his administration there has been
very little drunkenness in Savannah on Sun.

Atlenta,s Bank Clearanoss.

A few days ago the Atlanta Journal, in
a local article relating TO the clearauces Of
the Atlanta banks for the week ending Jan.
:, contained a statement from which the
following is an extract: despite the fact
that there were only five days of last week
in which the banks OF Atlanta did business
Monday being holidsy-the clearances
for the week were the largest for the same
period Of time in the history of the Atlanta
Clearing House Association. The total for
the week reaches nearly $5,0O0,O00. 1t was
81, 666, ST. So. The clearances Of the week
before only reached 50, ,703 81"
The Financial Chronicle, which pub
fishes the clearsncss OF the banks Of every
city in the country which has a clearing
house, has an entirely different statement
Of the clesrances OF the Atlanta banks for
the week in question. The Chronicle places
the amount of the clesrances for the week
in questionable first week in January-at
$2.3S3. 400, or just half of the amount stated
by the journal. The Journal also says that
the clearances Of the Atlanta banks for the
last week in December amounted TO S2,57l,-
703 81. The Chronicle says that they
amounted to sl,2S5 s52, Just half the
amount stated by the Journal.
We do not mean to be understood as
wishing to create the impression that the
Journals figures were obtained by null
tiplying the actual clearance by two, but
what we would like TO know is this: II the
Journals figures are correct what is the
matter with that very reliable publication,
the Financial ChronicIcl The Journal
and the Chronicle cannot both be right.
One of them must DO wrong. We do not
undertake TO say which is wrong, but would
like to bear very much what the Journal
has to say on the subject.
Il cannot be possible that the Chronicle
has spite against Atlanta and pull fishes
ss the ueekly clearspees q the Atlanta
banks only one-half of the actual smount OF
them. There must be mistske some-
where. And yet IL seems strange that the

Had it been possible Gen. Butler would
probably have expressed eradication that
