James G. Fair and the erizzlies.

Il have had an experience with grizzly
bears said ex-senator James G.. Fair to a
san Francisco Examiner reporter recently.
Il don't think shall ever forget it.
In 1881, when was a mere boy, a lot of us
all, l believe, men grown except myself
went up on Powder creek, near Sacramento.
to hunt bears We had couple of teams and
wagons, and were we'll accoutered In every
way. The men were telling what they would
do If they came up with any BEARS and had 1t
arranged nicely.
I'VE had scarcely got into Powder creek
when big grizzly doomed up on a we'll beaten
trail coming toward u.s. Behind him was
another big bear, and in the rear was another,
and so on. There were eight or ten of them
all trudging along, and they lowered up like
giants. Not one Of the party had courage to
shoot. Their heels grew light, and it was the
main object of our lives to get out The bears
had been seen soon enough for us to get the
horses and wagons away, and we hustled for
our lives, but our cart in which were all our
meats and other provisions, had to be left.
As the bears struck into the grass near us
the whip was laid to the horses. and we put
out of there with all the haste imaginable
The bears then fell to and ate all our provls-
ions. l have laughed over this experience
many time, ana have never gone on bear
hunt since. l got enough of it, The grizzlies
in those days were very plentiful. They
were everywhere. They had beaten roads
all over, were savage, and every once in a
while killed someone. Nobody then knew
how to handle them. They were inexperi-
CnCed and it is no wonder many lives we're
lost. The MeXicans used to laSso them |
remember one day an American lassoed one
from his horse. The grizzly came at him and
he couldn get the rope loose The grizzly
killed both the man and the horse"

Our Public Building,

1t was announced recently that the pol
icy of the administration in respect to
public buildings was to begin the con-
struction of those of them for which APP
preparations have been made, in order to
give work to unemployed mechanics and
to assist in putting money in circulation
This announcement, in connection with
the appointment of two officials. one to
superintend the construction of our pub
Inc building and the other to pay out the
money appropriated for its construction,
justiies the conclusion that work will be
begun on our public building shortly.
Savannah has waited a long time for
this building. Years have elapsed since
the appropriation for it was made, and
she has reason to demand that there shall
be no further unnecessary delay in its
construction.
1t is building that will add much to
the attractions of Bull street and will
give an impetus to building in
other parts of the city. A great
many people have been deferred from
building by the hard times, but now that
money is becoming more plentiful there
will be revival in building and particu-
larly will this be the case If the govern
ment begins work soon on the government
building.
There doubtless will be great many
houses erected in Savannah this fall and
next winter. There has been considera-
Bile building done in the last six months,
notwithstanding the hard times. The
next six, however, will show that conf
dence in Savannah's future is stronger
than ever before

The Editors Friend.

Some supposed friends Of a newspaper

a paper requires. SAYS the Texas Siftings.
once upon time a gentleman came into the
sanctum OF Texas paper and said 10 the
editor

once and a while and pOst you
An right fetch up your items; but remem-
Der we want news

the editor YEARLY

where he is living, that he Is going to run for
the legislature. Now Just give him blast.

on my account"
The editor shook his head and the news
gatherer retired.
Next day he came up again. My little
item was crowded out. At least didn't see
il in the paper. l brought you some more
news, and he handed in an item about cat
as follows.
"A remarkable animal-The family cat of
our worthy and distinguished fellow towns

spoken of as a candidate for alderman. He

in town, and Is a generous, whole-sOuled fell

The editor groans in his spirit as he lights
a cigar with the effort 1t is not long before
he hears that Smith is going around saying
the editor IS Chump and is not independent
enough to suit the public, etc.
Many of the readers will say that this
sketch is Overdrawn, but thousands of editors
all over the country will lift up their hands
to testify that they are personally acquainted
with the guilty party.

William H McDonough, Mayor Gilroys
confidential clerk, as a reporter for the New

an ante-room of the mayors Office, yesterday
afternoon.
Have you any?" asked the reporter.
Yes. See that little old colored man over
there? Well, he's an lrishman, and he has
brOgue as rich as the newest policeman on
the force. He came here with letter and
he Is in search OF money, just talk to him

The cOlOred man was about 60 years old,
but there was little gray in his sparse hair.
He gave his name as Geo. Grant.
With a rich brOgue he said:

this country since 1871.

Senator Stewards Indifference 20
Eacfs

Senator Stewart OF Nevada is fast l0s-
ing his reputation for honesty and fair
/ dealing. He seems 10 think that reckless
] and unfouded assertions will answer his
I purpose as well as the truth. The lesson
i the editor Of the Washington Post gave
4 him a few days ago ought 10 have taught
! him 10 be more temperate in making
! charges. He insinuated that the Post had
sold its columns in "A certain instance,
and when the editor of that paper replied
in a way that was much more forcible
than elegant the senator attempted to
[ crawl out of the unpleasant position in
which he had placed himself
In his speech in the Senate on Monday
attacking the President, he asserted that
the President, by not enforcing the laws
was showing his contempt for congress
The laws the President was not enforc-
ing, he said, are the Geary law, authOriz-
ing the deportation of Cinnamon and the
law authorizing the Secretary Of the
Treasury to purchase 4,5OO, 900 ounces Of
silver a month.
Senator Stewart knows very well that
the reason the Geary law has not been
enforced is that congress made no appro-
priation for carrying out its provision.
There is a small balance in the treasury,
about 81 coo, to the credit of the fund for
sending Cinnamon back TO their country.
This amount, however, would 90 a very
little way toward carrying out the law.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has
ordered the enforcement of the law to
the extent of the money in the treasury
that can be used for that purpose.
A few days ago henotifed the Attorney
General that THE treasury department
would bear the expenses of deporting
Cinnamon until the money at its disposal
for that purpose was exhausted. No eff
fort has yet been made to send any Chi
naman back to China, because each Chi
naman who has been arrested has Sc
cured his release upon a writ habeas
corpus, and has taken an appeal from the
judgment against him. 1t has been i'm
possible to enforce the law, and this con
dition of affairs Senator Stewart must
have known when he made his
charge against the administration.
He was more anxious to make a point
truth
The other charge the one that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury has not complied
with the law requiring certain amount
Of silver to be purchased each months
one that is easily explained. The secre-
tary is clothed with a certain amount of
discretion. He is not required to buy
silver when it is held above the
market price 1t was so held
during the months he did not
purchase the full amount per month au-
thorized by the Sherman silver-purchase
act. Senator Stewart knows the facts,
however and therefore his effort to give
the public the impression that the secre-
tary had willfully violated the law is in
excusabIe.
Senator Stewart ought to have learned
by this time that nothing is to be gained
by trying to mislead the public. The
truth is bound to be stated, and then
those who have tried to hide it receive
the condemnation they deserve.

Wanted it Absolutely Safe.

Chicago Tribune, an excited porter in a
South-side hotel asked for half an hours

ing immensely relieved.

According to Senator Hills view the
prospect for the repeal of the Sherman
silver law is very gloomy. Speaking Of
the matter in New York the other day
he said: The outlook for the success of
the repeal bill is not encouraging. 1T
GEMS to be impossible" he said, Ito get
vote upon the measure. Most of the
senator's seem hardly to know of the ex-
istence of a method of stopping debate
in other parliamentary bodies Take a
determined body of twenty men in the
United States Senate and they can stop
almost any legislation TO which they are
opposed" With reference TO the effort
Of the republicans to have a closure rule
passed he said they were not sincere
"They will not vote to adopt the previous
question because they do not wish the
tariff reform bill or the election bill TO
pass the Senate. No, the outlook for the
Sherman repeal act is dark, very dark, as
the silver men are obstinate"

the so-called silver states. and Senator
Teller of Colorado, interrupted him to

been made more interesting.

The Attack Upon the President.

The President will not suffer In public
estimation on account of Senator
Stewards attack upon him in the Senate
on Monday 1t is doubtful if any other
senator would have been guilty of making
such a speech. The speech, however,
caused very little comment. If some
other senator had made it, or one similar
to it, there would have been a sensation.
Mr.. Stewart is so reckless in his state
ments and has so little appreciation of
what is proper and decent that his utter
ances are hardly noticed He has a won
derful capacity for talking for hours
without giving utterance to an original
idea or throwing any new light on the
subject under discussion
Having talked himself out on the silver
question, and having read in the Senate
and had published in. the Congressional
Record all the clippings from newspapers
and pamphlets that he had collected on
that subject, he Occupied several hours
Monday,in trying to belittle the President
! and in discussing what he calls the
~'venal press" He was very careful,
however, not TO mention any newspaper
as being one of those he considers venal,
but. he thinks all, that do not
agree. withhim are venal 1t is
characteristic of the man to hold
an opinion of that kind. He does not
know, however, a single newspaper in the
whole country that has sold it's columns
to assist in repeating the Sherman silver
law, but that fact does not prevent him
! from asserting that all Of them arebought
! by the money lenders and banks to advo-
cate the repeal of the law. The truth
doubtless is that all the newspapers that
are urging the passage of the repeal bill
are sincere in the course they are pursu-
ing, and are neither receiving nor hope to
receive a reward of any kind for their
support of that measure Senator Stew
art is injuring only himself by charging
that they are venal
1t is certain that the President is moved
by the purest patriotism and the profound
belief that the business and industrial in
! terests of the country are in grave dan
ger from the silver burden to urge the
immediate and unconditional repeal of the
Sherman silver law. We do not pretend
TO say what Senator Stewards motives are
in opposing repeal They may be thor
oughly honest, but he is not acting the
part of a statesmen. or a patriot in OBJ
structing the will of the majority. He
has made his protest against the repeal
bill He ought now to stand aside and
let those who are willing to do so take the
responsibility of passing the bill.
