The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-06-03

II appears that some of the great trunk
dine railroads are not getting as much
business as it was expected the world s
fair would make for them. Several lines
leading from the Atlantic coast westward
have in the last few DAYS reduced their
operating forces The Pennsylvania
road alone in one day dropped
1900 men from its rolls. Farther
west, the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST
Paul dropped 1000 men on the same day,
and a number of smaller roads also re
duced forces. The Pennsylvania re-
duction amounts to about per cent, it is
said. But it is believed other reductions
will follow. Six months ago the roads
were fearful that the fair business would
crowd them. They have no fear now of
any such thing.

Reversing Bussey.

The Secretary of the Interior and the
new pension commissioner are giving con-
siderable attention to the pension decis-
ions that were rendered by Mr.. Bussey,
President Harrison's Assistant Secretary
of the Interior Mr.. Bussey was about as
fit for the position he occupied as an
ordinary farm laborer would be to super
intend the construction of a steamship.
He was without any training for inter-
preting law, and'he was such an extreme
partisan that he was able to see only one
side of a case, His pension decisions
leave the impression that in constituting
the pension laws his aim was not to find
out the purport of the law, but to con-
strue it as favorably to pension claimants
as possible.
The result of his work was the giving
of pensions to persons not entitled to
them, thus bringing the pension business
into disrepute and the increasing of the
burdens of the people to the extent of
millions of dollars year without the au-
thOrity of law.
What was more unjust to brave and de-
serving veterans than his decision that
deserters should stand before the law
and the country on an equal footing with
them, and that dishonorable discharge
from the army constitutes no bar to
pension.
It is a wonder that Mr. Bussey was
permitted to hold the office of Assistant
Secretary of the Interior as long as he
did. His incompetency was apparent
very shortly after his appointment. He
must have had strong influence or his
resignation would have been called for
long before the end of the Harrison ad-
ministration.
Many of his decisions will be set aside,
and the republican papers will not make
an cutlery when they are, for they cannot
be defended. If he had been permitted
to remain in office much longer, he would
have bankrupted the treasury. 1t is to
be hoped that never again will so unfit a
man as Bussey was get an important and
responsible position under the govern
ment

Rhode Island has produced long list
of women who have won credit or fame
in the field of letters, as the long list
published to-day attests.
This list viii surprise no true Rhode
Islander, because they all know that the
Rhode Island women are smart and cap
able, talented and literary, as we'll as
possessing all the graces and beauties
the sex is credited with everywhere.
The News has always claimed that
Westminster street on shopping after
noon is made the most attractive thor
oughfare in the world by the incom-
parable array Of beautiful women. The
researches of Mrs. Palmer assures us
that we have also the largest average of
literary women, probably, of any sec
tion Of the country, considering area as
the basis.

CLEVELAND AND TAMMANY.

Mr.. Cleveland has not yet learned
Tammany. He is taking frequent and
thorough lessons, however. and may be
expected to become proficient in time.
He got pretty good exhibit of Tam
many's tammanyism last campaign, but
he didn't get full view. He ventured
within the reach of the Tigers claws
recently and when the beast snarled at
him promptly withdrew.
He announced that he wouldn't have
Ed. Murphy elected senator from New
York, but now he says he will not inter
fere further.
This simply means that Tammany
will let Mr.. Cleveland alone if he lets
Tammany alone If not, not.
The Independence and political purity
of the ex-prophet is something beautiful
to contemplate. 1t is very rare thing
-rarer, by far, than any day in June
that the poet could possibly imagine.
The president-elect's nose is already
on the grindstone, and the Tammany
braves have hold of the crank.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
has confirmed the conviction of Thomas
Matthews, publisher of the Pittsburg
Sunday Leader under the so-called blue.
or Sunday laws.
He through either ignorance or def
ance of the blue laws of 1894, which
were made expressly to fit the growth
of the modern newspaper, persisted in
issuing, ON a certain Sunday of
1891, his paper. 1t was not material, the
court adjudged, that there is n great
popular demand for this class of litcra-
ture. The fact that the last one of the
trainers of this strictly moral law had
long since closed his earthly career had
no bearing on the case.
Custom which has become nearly
universal did not influence the Penn
sylvania solons, and now the only remedy
for the misguided news gatherers is to
desist from the most remunerative part
of their avocation, or by continued
breach of the law, supported by health
full popular sentiment, secure its repeal.

In politics he shot up TO his present
height very quickly. For five years he
hasn't made much advance. He would
like to be governor. He would like to
be senator. He finds himself each year
ready to accept the courtesies OF his
Melrose neIghbors and represent them
in the legislature. Then he is made
speaker.
Many people are very much interest
ed in the problem Of the ultimate re-
suit of this remarkable young man who
has lifted himself over the heads Of so
many older and more solid men. His
orbit has not yet been calculated by the
political astronomers.

THE COAL coMBINE pREAx,

though the public has not yet real
lied a reduction in the price of coal it is
comforting to know that the big Read
ing coal com bine has been broken and
that one big company that was lead
ing party TO the combine has formally
announced that ii will deal directly with
the trade.
There are as yet no very reliable signs
that indicate what effect this break up
of the unrighteous combination may
have on prices, but il is not probable
that the consumers will feel any effect
at all this season.
The combine was against public
policy, beside being against the true in
terests of the coal producers themselves.
The attempt was made TO create an un-
natural stringency of coal, and an un-
necessary rise in its price. 1t seems
destined TO fail
1t is not unlikely that the railroad
combine that was effected at the same
time will also fall to the ground. One
of the principal leases that bound it has
been declared illegal by the courts of
New Jersey, and there are indications
that some of the other bonds have be-
come somewhat loossned. President
Mcleod has apparently pursued his
scheme of railroad bagging in some
what different manner and i'll fields
wholly foreign to the apparent purpose
of his first ventures.
Thus may all combines against the
real interests of the people come to the
fate that adverse public opinion can
bring upon them,

of people trade with us and will en-
deavor TO make good our promise.
We believe the reasons are: First
Because our patrons have discovered
that our aim and purpose is to deal fair
and honorable with them. Second
Because IL Is distinct advantaye
financially for everybody who trades
with us. Third-Because they like our
system of doing business, which has
made il pleasure to do the marketing.
Fourth-Because in our establishment
can be found every variety kept In
