that he will call an extra session of Con-
gress to dispose of the tariff question. No

Beyond this decision to cali an extra ses-
sion no det ails for the consideration OF Con-
Rress have been arranged. and the subject
has progressed no further than the de-
termination to have Congress meet in one

session by the Republican defeat of 1890

Private Hangings.

The House has acted wisely in passing
the bill providing that criminals con-

The execution Of criminals in private
impressos the ignorant and vicious ele-

savannah'g Opportunity.

In common with all the other cities of
the country Savannah has felt the effects
Of the money panic which began last May.
There has been a falling OF in her bust
ness apd a shrinkage in the value of her
securities ana real estate. She has not
suffered nearly as much. however, as some
of her sister cities. Her banks stood the
strain upon them wonderfully well, and
they came through the panic without a
failure and without resorting to any ex-
traordinary methods to meet the demands
uIon them. Her merchants also stood
the panic well, and are now in a condition
to make the most of the better times
which must come as the result of the
restoration of confidence.
But Sayannah's business men cannot
afford to sit down and wait for prosperity.
They must go to work actively to regain
the ground loss during the period of de-
preston. They must drum up business
wherever business is to be found. The
cotton men should strive to control all the
cotton in the territory tributary to Sa-
Nannah, and they should reach out into
new territory. They should urge the
AAiAt psANto ~ lIdht SfJCCldA t44Ot 10 W bLluE
cotton to this port, and should endeavor
to get foreign freight rates that would
make COTTON seek this port in preference
to Other Atlantic ports.
The dry goods and grocery firms should
strive 10 supply the whole vast region
tributary TO Savannah. This they can do
in large measure by sending out repre-
sentatiycs who have an abiding faith in
Savannah ana Sayannah's future.
Efforts Should be made to establish fac
tories OF one kind and another There
are factories that would pay here, and
there will soon be plenty of money at the
north seeking investment, some of which
could be obtained for Savannah if the
right kind of representations were made
of her advantages.
More business and more factories mean
more dwelling houses, and consequently
more work for our mechanics. We must
not let the building that has been going
on so briskly for number of years stop.
And it will not stop if we join hands to
push Savannah forward on the road to
prosperity. There is no use mourning
over the losses. They are part of the
past. The thing to do now is to look to
the future and make the most of it. In
that way we shall find contentment and
prosperity.

chest and painted just above his heart very
vivid representation OF wound. He
then painted his lips and cheeks so that they
presented CHASTITY aspect. covered his pal
ette-knfe and his garments with spots of red
paint, gave shriek, and fell TO the floor as if
