TELFAIR ACADEMY.
A Plan to Get q Great Pict-

The MORNING News believes the possess
sion by the Telfair academy OF one of the
great pictures that will be exhibited at the
Columbian fair would give pleasure to all
the friends of the Academy. Why not raise
an amount sufficient to purchase one Of
them2 The Academy's friends can easily do
it. If each one of them will give the under
taking his support the thing will be accom-
plished.
The Academy has many friends, and they
are not confined to this city or state. They
are to be found in many states, for Of the
thousands Of visitors to the city within the
last two or three years from all parts of the
country, many Of them have passed pleas
ant hours viewing its treasures. From some
Of these help may be expected.
OF course Savannahians will respond gen.
erously, and so will Georgians outside of
Savannah. The Academy is in fact south
ern institution. 1t is the only Acade-
my of fine arts south of Washington
The sources therefore from which assistance
may be hoped for are many.
Subscriptions will be received by the
MORNING NEWS and promptly acknowl-

that purpose. Let every friend Of the
Academy help in this undertaking and the
institution will have among its collection

Minister William Walter Phelps son says
his father will accept his appointment by
Gov. Werts, of New Jersey as lay judge of
the state court OF errors. The Office, by the
way. is rather peculiar one, and probably
exists in no state except New Jersey. These
lay judges are SO called because they are not
lawyers by profession, hut are chosen for
their practical and common sense bent and
everyday" views Of justice as contra-dis-
tinguished from the technical and profess
sional way Of determining causes. The
New Jersey idea Is that such men, in CO.
operation with trained jurists, evolve per-
feet system of Jurisprudence. And there
would seem to be good many things to be
said in favor of the system.

The Roopskirt.
From the CHICAGO Tribune.

FROM the CHICAGO Tribune.
And must il come-the skirt of other days.
Amplitudinous and vast, the terror
OF pedestrians, the sport of scoffers,
shelter of small dogs fleeing from the wrath
OF bigger ones, space monopolizer
In the omnibus and gilded chariot
OF the horse railway! outrageous horror
Spreading like circus tent, or Kansas
Mortgage DER the land; must the patient horse
Grown used to the swiftly speeding wheelman
And the cable car, a walking haystack
Learn now to look upon without alarm,
AS did his forefathers in the long ago?
Forbid it, Phoebe CouZins, Sister Lease
And DR.. Mary Walker! These be the days
OF flats, whose latitudinal spread
Is limited. The earth is getting crowded.
There is no room for the hoopskirt.
1t belongs to the dead past. Its home
Is in oblivion. There let it rest.

Some excellent newspapers are again
suffering the perennial cold perspiration of
fear that comes upon them regularly at
every short session OF congress, when the
fate of appropriation bills seems to
hang on a thread. But well drilled old
members of congress say there lie nothing to
fear at present; that all the bills will be put
through In time, even if the Hawaiian mat
ter has Unexpectedly crept into the pro-
ceedngs Two years ago the same fear of
the failure Of some of the appropriation
bills was felt, but it proved groundless.
However, il other unforeseen important
questions should creep into the proceedings
of congress, the urgent work Of the session
might be interfered with.

There has yet been no movement on the
part Of manufacturers or importers in this
country to meet the prospective demand for
hoopskirts. Both OF these classes of tradesmen
are sfraid TO daily with Dame Fashions latest
whim, so that it American women desired
10 90 into crinoline at once they could not
do so. During the hoopskirt craze Of
twenty-odd years aud more ago several
manufacturers made money by supplying
the trade. But many more of them, aud a
large uumber of merchants, lost money in
the business. One eastern dealer, in talk
ing of the matter, recalled how, just before
the crash in the hoopskirt fashion came, he
had invested almost fortune in skirts at
$50 dozen which he was subsequently
forced to sell at 81 80 dozen, and was
glad to get rid Of them at that.

Gov. Pennoyer, of Oregon. who refused
to allow the firing of cannon in honor of
Cleveland's Inauguration, is the fellow who
declined to go to meet President Harrison
when he was travelling through the north.
west some time ago. Pennoyer held that
the President should have gone to him. The
crank had probably heard of Gov. Northen's
refusal to meet Jay Gould, and thought he
would do something in the same line, but
had not the common sense to distinguish
between a plutocrat and the President Of
the United States.

What would cavalryman be without his
saber, or the infantry officer without his
sword9 Yet it is probable that in the near
future these graceful and ancient weapons
will be discarded in the army. 1t Is
claimed by military experts that both
weapons are now absolutely useless, except
for ornament. The day of hand o-hand
conflicts is passed, and the soldier of both
the present and the future will never get
near enough TO an enemy to reach him with
a sword. In an engagement between two
armies of the period. long before the COM
batants get near enough together to use
sword one or the other army would bs on

have taken the saber's place, in actual
fighting, and at present, in our army, the
cavalry revolver exercise ia regarded as
more Important than the saber drill. Re
Gently an attempt was made. in the war
department, to increase the weight of the
saber and sword in the army, but it was
abandoned. But the agitation started bids
fair to be continued until the shining and
pretty blades give place to the more practi-
cal pistol for a fighting side arm.

Hawaii demands also that President Harrison
shall seize the opportunity to fill the vacancy
on the supreme bench by the appointment of a
republican jurst, T e republican idea Of gov

always is q confusion of ideas in the republican
mind between Caesar and seizure.
