Somewhat Like Home.

The man from Kansas was making
trip across the Atlantic, and during the
passage the weather was extremely bolS-
ferrous, says the Detroit Free Press. One
morning when it was blowing great guns
the Kansan appeared on deck. Nobody
was in sight except the captain.
Go below therei" he shouted.
The passenger looked around to see who
he was talking to.
You mean me?" he yelled back when
he saw there was no one else in sight.

Before the captain could offer further
objection big green wave came curling
over the place where the passenger stood
and the next thing he knew he was swept
off his feet and carried aft over ropes and
boats and ali the paraphernalia of a
ship's deck and landed in a heap in one
corner where he was saved from being

Tho Way it Was in Georgia.
Memphis Commercial-Appea DemO

The complete returns from the Georgia
election show that, instead of a light vote
as some of the newspapers and statesmen
of Georgia have been claiming, the vote
was 5000 larger than in 1892, and actually
the largest in the history of the state
Yet the democratic majority was only
about 10000. It is easy to discover the
cause. The trouble with the Georgia de-
mocracy is that IL is afflicted with a multi
phcity of leaders, There is really no
party headship. nobody to whom implicit
obedience is given when the fight be-
comes warm. We do things much better

The Blight of Populism.

The Young Mems Business League of
Denver, Col, presents a striking lesson
illustrating the effect of populism upon
values-not prices but values. Four
years ago Colorado ranked next to New
York in the borrowing power of her prop
erty. Now it is practically impossible
to borrow anything upon the resources
of the state.
"Populist rule in Colorado" says the
league, has been like a devastating for
est fire. By destroying credit, which
is the life of commerce, it has consumed
for the time being not less than $500, 900, OG0
of values in the state. The states Dor
rowing power, this handspring Of her
splendid progress, has been temporarily
paralyzed by the accidental ascendancy
of a party which stands for reputation
hard silver money
Now, as to values, in the single city of
Denver: The property of Denver was as
sessed for 100000, 600 and was worth three
times that sum when the populists got
into power. Notwithstanding the city's
inevitably brilliant future the average
selling price of this property, pending the
overthrow of Waiteism, has shrunk two
thirds. "Silver has declined only % per
cent, or less than the average products
of the other states. while the increased
value and output of gold, together with
our bouptiful crops, have more than made
up the shortage. Therefore, not over one
half of our shrinkage of values can be
| charged to the panic and the universal
| depreciation resulting from the gold stan
| dard."
| These facts should appeal to the Gemo-
| Gratis of Georgia to strike populsm a
blow wherever they find it. What has
| occurred in Colorado is liable to occur
wherever the foes of democracy-popu-
! lists or republicans-wiu the ascendancy.
The President is going to do all he can
for the success of the regular democratic
ticket-the Hill ticket-in New York. on
his way down from Gray Gables to Wash
ington he viii stop in New York and reg
ister, and win give the managers what
ever advice he consistently can. And on
election day he will go to New York and
cast his vote for Senator Hill and the full
ticket. The office holders from New York
in Washington will also so home to vote
for Senator Hill.

Reoinrocitv Tangle.

The high-protection-free slight-of-
hand policy of the Harrison administra-
ton. and those remarkable Statesmen"
Of the Senate, have got this country into
a nice little tangle with Brazil. There is no
war cloud on the horizon. 20 be sure, but
the ratification Of the Brazilian reel
procity treaty by the Harrison administra-
ton and its abrogatiou by the new tariff
bill without this governments having
given the notice required by the treaty,
form the basis for what appear to be well
grounded suits to be brought against the
government. Brazilian merchants win file
claims against this government for the to-
tai amount of duties collected on Brazil
ian goods covered by the reciprocity treaty
from August q. last, the date the new
tariff law went into effect. up to January
/, next. In the aggregate these duties viii
reach several hundred thousand dollars,
and may reach into the millions. The first
step toward making the claims will be
by filing protests with the Treasury De
partment against the exaction of duties.
The cases to be made, it is held in Wash
ington. will involve test of the right of
congress to pass a law which violates
what will be asserted is a contract pro-
vision of a treaty. 1t was definitely under
stood by both the secretary of state 90
the United States and the Brazilian min
lister, and they so stated in their notes
leading up TO the ratification Of the treaty,
that the treaty was entered into with the
understanding that the commercial ar
rangement thus put in operation shall re-
main in force so long as neither govern
ment shall definitely at least three months
in advance inform the other of it's inten-
ton and decision to consider it at an end
at the expiration of the time indicated,
provided, however, that the termination
of the commercial arrangement shall be-
January or the first day of July" The
notes containing this statement were
made part of the commercial arrange
ment and the Presidents proclamation.
Leaving out of consideration the ques-
ton as to whether Mr.. Blaine's recip-
rocity scheme was a good thing or a bad
thing, it seems that this mutual stipula-
ton of notice of the termination of the
arrangement reduced the matter to a COM
mercial contract pure and simple. And
Chairman Wilson Of the ways and means
committee so regarded it, When the bill
was in conference committee he made
every effort to arrange to give Brazil the
required three months notice. But the
astute senators wouldn't have it. Their
view was so obscured by sugar or some
thing else, that the arrangement with
Brazil was ignored, and all reciprocity
treaties except the one with Hawaii was
killed out os hand and without notice.

In the matter Of the discrimination in
freight-rates, it is "a condition and not a
theory" that confronts the people OF Sa-
vannah. It is not the cry Of wolf" but
real danger, that threatens the mercan-
tile prosperity of our city. And with the
city's mercantile prosperity cut down,
every interest would suffer. The retail
dealer. the house owner. the manufac-
turer and the mechanic. as well as the
wholesale grocer, and all other larger bus
inesses, are in danger.
Nor is the danger afar off. Its insidious
effects are already making themselves
felt. our people have not awakened a day
too soon to the state of affairs that fill the
business mind Of to-day with apprehen-
sion.
Why this condition Of things has been
permitted TO arise has already been stated
in the Morning News. Briefly reviewed.
the reason is: In former years we trusted
TO the fairness of railroad arrangements
and upon our superior commercial facil-
tiles. Now we cannot trust the former,
and the latter do not count for as much as
my o''~e N'A" n III WHAT at tit Gnu
of a marsh is good enough to load cot
ton ship at. provided the freight rates to
that point are lower than elsewhere
While our merchants have been resting
in fancied security, rival cities and es-
tuaries that have wharves, have been TAX
ing away the legitimate trade of Savan-
nah. With the long haul profits the
railroads find it to their interests to pull
together against established southern sea-
ports. In times past prosperous and
wealthy cities were destroyed by the ar
mics of their rivals, and their merchants
taken away into captivity. In the modern
days, cities can be destroyed by railroads.
and their citizens then do not need to be
taken away. They go of their own free
will to do business elsewhere The Morn
ing News is not an alarmist It believes
that the people of Savannah have the
nerve to defend their interests. But they
should not wait too long before making
war upon the systems that are at work
against the business of the city. Every
one who is in business or who owns real
estate is interested in establishing the
freight bureau, which appears to be the
only means of counteracting the present
war that is being made upon Savannah.
