Considerable Activity in Building.

CCASAAGAobA0 GANbAN4JH III bu14u4nBs
Notwithstanding the general com
plant of hard times and a lack of money
good deal of building is being done in
Savannah. Buildings are being erected
in nearly all parts of the city, and the in
dications are that carpenters, masons,
plumbers and others employed in house
building will be kept pretty busy during
the summer. There is not just now a very
active demand for real estate, but there
will be as soon as a better feeling in re-
spect to financial matters is brought
about. Confidence in Savannah's future
is stronger now that at any previous
time. The completion of the
Florida Central and Penmsular road to
this city and the Coast Lines connection
TO Denmark will greatly increase Sava-
nnah's business.
The outlook now is that the Central
railroad will be reorgauized within the
next few months and with reorganization
will come a great deal more through bust
ness from the west. The harbor improve
mont has reached a stage that its success
is assured and when it is completed it is
certain there will be a strong and, there
is reason to believe, successful move
ment to make Savannah grain shipping
port.
Savannah's prospects for prosperous
future are, therefore, brighter than at
any previous time. This is well under
stood and it is one of the reasons that
building is going on in face of a financial
depression that is paralyzing the business
energies of many other cities
Business men may find this summer a
rather dull one, but they can depend upon
having trade in the fall that will com
pensate them for any loss in business they
may experience during the summer.
Real estate is not being pushed upon
the market. Those who own it are fully
able to hold it, and they are confident
that it will pay them to 90 so. The time
is not distant when the demand for it will
be greater than ever before, and the prices
that it will command will be better than
any that have yet been received That
great growth in business and population
will be Savannah's within compare
lively short period is very generally be
loved The houses that are being built
within her limits are all needed In
deed they are taken now as last as they
are completed.

In the conference of the African Moth
odist Episcopal church OF the state Of
New YORK., held in the city Of New York
a few days ago, Bishop Tanner presiding,
a resolution was adopted condemnalory
OF '1awlessness in the south" Speaking
TO the resolution a member of the CON
ference made use of this expression:
They say that our men are outraging
white women. The truths that the
white women like black men, bishop, and
you know it." This was greeted with APP
plause. From an individual, this out
rageouslY infamous libel would be beneath
notice; but it was voiced in great gath
ering OF leaders of the colored race and
WIS applauded. Instead Of applause. the
exclamation should have met the severest
condemnation. If the preachers of the
colorcd race really desire to put down
lynching they should join with the whites
laboring to the same end, and guard
against and condemn anything calculated
to inhame race prejudice, as the assertion
OF the preacher quoted is well calculated
70 do.

Those in charge of arrangements for

Grants tomb We're unfortunate in their
selection of an orator of the occasion.
They selected eX-Gov. Foraker, of Ohio,
and before the day was over numbers of
veterans felt called upon to repudiate his
utterances. He devoted about twenty
minutes to Gen. Grants career and then
launched into a characteristically bitter
denunciation of everybody not republican
and everything not northern. Toward
the dead heroes of the south he was par
ticularly bitter especially assailing the
regulations of jefferson Davis and Gen
Beauregard, His remarks would have
been ill-timcd at a ward meeting, but that
they should have been made during me-
mortal exercises was disgraceful.

Another international racket is brew
ing at the worlds fair. Claims for
several thousands of dollars for articles
alleged to have been stolen have been
filed by foreign exhibitors. A detective
captain at the fair says most of these
claims are bogus, and that the articles
alleged to have been stolen were really
sold to visitors by the exhibitors The
exhibits from foreign countries were adj
mitted duty free under bond If it can
be proved that such bonded articles have
been sold, the customs officers will make
the exhibitors pay Uncle Sans tariff
charges. A day or two ago several de-
tectives made a purchasing tour of the
foreign exhibits and returned to head
quarters with their pockets bullying with
articles they claimed to have bought
from the foreigners bonded stocks.

TYPICAL AMERICAN STUDENTS.

Two Unidealized Statues on Exhibition in
BOstun-The Dimensions Of Each.
Two interesting statues, the result
of much hard work, were put on ex-
hibi6ion in Boston recently. One was
that of a young man and the other that
of a girl They were designed to
represent the American college stu
dent, not the ideal American student
of either Sex, but the actual, typical
student, the measurements used hay
ing been the average, or mean, of do
velopment Of students from various
parts of the county The statues are
described by the Rochester Post and
Express as representing fairly well
built young persons, symmetrically do
veloped, and without serious physical
defects" The figures have an easy
pose, standing firmly and gracefully.
The faces, which were modelled after
composite photographs made from tlps
students from whom the measurements
were taken, are handsome and thought
ful, with a marked air of refinement.
The face OF the young man is the hand
somer of the two, but that Of the
young woman is nearest the classic
standard. In the formers figure there
are some marked departures from the
standard. The hands and knees are
large, while the wrists are small The
height of the male is Eve feet eight
inches and of the female five feet three
inches. The male represents a weight
Of one hundred and thirty-eight aud
one half pounds and the female one
hundred and fifteen pounds, Each
dglre represents measurements taken
from forty-two leading parts of the
body and these show the average de-
velopment of each sex at the age of
twenty-one years 1t is worthy of note
that the typical American student has
a better physical development than
that of the British or German, as is
shown by comparison with measure
ments made recently in those coun-
tries

TO RESTORE CONFIDBNCH

President Cleveland has been forced
by the pressure brought to bear upon
him by the Democratic leaders, to call
an extra session of Congress for the
purpose of restoring confidence in
business circles. If the Democratic
majority could at once resolve and
satisfy the country that they would
let the Tariff alone and stand by the
former system under which the
country has enjoyed great prosperity
we would have no difficulty. Every
body expects legislation hostile to
American production. The Demo
cratic party is pledged to such a course
There can be no revival of confidence
until that party satisfies the country
that it will not carry out its pledges.
A systematic and widespread
attempt is being made to blame every
thing on the silver law. But the
silver law made no trouble until the
Senate and Presidency went to the
Democrats. 1t was not until that
DdEby DtChln6 dS0uIGd VI illt AOWGI 10
destroy Protection that confidence
became impaired. 1t is not leglsla-
ton that the country needs. The
situation is "forced and unnatural
one" and grows out of the fear of
legislation.
What the country needs is assurance
that there will be no legislation. The
present lack of confidence is the sober
second thought of the country. Last
fall the nation resolved on the rever-
sal of the policy under which iJ had
prospered. 1t is now showing that
its sober business sense is more to be
relied upon than its hasty political
Judgment.
1t is impossible to consider the ques-
ton without reference to politics, be-
cause it is the change of policy re-
solved on in a political contest that
has brought about the present uncer.
tainty and lack of confidence

THEIR DUTY.

The School Board will meet tonight
to elect teachers for the 1884 term.
We hope that in making their selec-
tions all the directors will act with
keen intelligence and impartiality and
that they will allow nothing to swerve
them from this.
Ia all matters legitimately con-
nected with the public schools and
the manners and morals of the
scholars, the teachers Jurisdiction,
cojointly with that of the parent,
commences when the pupils leave the
parental roof and control and go to
school, and continues until their re-
turn from school. Therefore the
school directors should realize that the
election of such teachers is the most
important function of their Office and
it should be exercised with great care.
The success Of the public school sys-
tenn demands, and the school laws OF
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
require, that the teachers are TO bestow
equal and impartial attention on all
children placed under their charge, to
be undertaking in adherence to a firm,
uniform and moderate system Of dis
cipline; and to pay most especial re
gard TO the morals. habits and general
behavior, as well as mental instrUc-
tion OF the pupils. Any director
bearing this in mind, ami acting as
director and not as the agent Of out
side influence, cannot fail to give The
parents of the children what they have
right to expect.
We do not make this appeal to The
directors who are to meet tonight
because we apprehend that they IN.
tend to diverge from their path of
duty; on the contrary, we look upon
them as men who have sufficient man
hood and moral courage 10 stand by
their convictions; and what has been
said is merely what we think every
public newspaper should say to all
school directors on the eve of such an
important event as the selection Of /
instructors of those upon whose
shoulders the prosperity and preserva-
tlon Of this glorious land will fall
when the keepers Of that sacred trust
OF to day shall have passed away.
