Jim's Advantage.

A young man stood at the foot of Griswold
street gazing steadily into the river, says the
Detroit Free Press, when a policeman who
happened along inquired;
Looking for anything in particular out
there:"
Well NO" replied the gazer II was Just
athinkin. II is almost three years ago TO a
day since my brother Jim was drowned right
here"

Port Charees and Diferentials.

The board of trade has finally realized
the necessity for making a vigorous effort
to remove the distractions which prevent
this city from enjoying the full measure
of prosperity to which she is entitled.
| The resolutions it adopted yesterday and
! the remarks that were made in support
! of them show that our merchants are
waking up to the fact that if she is
| to hold the trade that rightfully belongs
| to her, not only must every possible
| burden be taken off of her commerce, but
fees, charges and other exactions must be
reduced to the lowest possible point.
Last summer, when cotton that be
longed to Savannah was going elsewhere,
| the MORNING News time and again in
sisted that steps should be taken that
would put Savannah on an equality with
rival ports. We have been following the
old ruts because vast amount of COM
merce came here that could not very well
go elsewhere, and because our large CAPT
tai gave us great advantage; but for the
last two or three years our rivals, by re-
ducing port charges, labor charges, pilot
charges and all other charges which COM
merce has to bear, have drawn trade
away from us, or, at least, have pre-
vented that increase IN our trade to
which our advantages naturally en-
title US.
The time has come wher there must be
change There must be reductions IN
charges all along the line, and burdens on
commerce that can be wholly removed
must be got rid of at once.
The question of the differential on cot
ton going from this section of the South
to Norfolk is one in which this port is
profoundly interes ted. 1t is unjust to the
South Atlantic'ports that there should
be difference of only cents a hundred
pounds in the rates on cotton from points
in Savannah's territory to Norfolk, and
from the same points to Savannah. In
stead of having received onlY $4,000
bales Of cotton thus far this season, Sa-
vannah should have received !, 100, 900 or
100000 And she would have received
that amount if there had not been dis
elimination against her in railroad rates,
and had not her freight rates to Europe
been against her.
Judging from the tone of the talk at
the board of trade meeting yesterday
some of these obstacles to Savannah
prosperity will be removed very soon. If
they are not removed Savannah business
men will be to blame. They realize now
what must be done to give Savannah the
traffic to which she is entitled Only
persistent and intelligent agitation and
well directed efforts will bring about
the reforms which will give to Savannah
the commerce which rightly belongs to
her

As evidence that Mr.. Cleveland's financial
views are not so md, the Times has been cited
TO the TACT that they are not in harmony with
the views entertained BY several southern
congressman as evidenced by their votes on
the repeal pill and on the Bland seignorage
bill. AS the strength of a chain is only equal
TO that of the weakest Ink in It, we conclude
That southern congressman taken collectively
are no wiser than singly. We believe that
any southern congressman in ability, and we
believe that every public man in the United
States. be he free sllverite or otherwise, Will
agree with us. Therefore, we believe that
Mr. Cleveland is a greater statesman than all
the southern congressman com oined: at least
greater than all those who think they are
wiser than Grover Cleveland.

Attend the Mass Meetinrs.

A great many citizens who are intensely
interested in having a good city govern
ment and in being represented in the leg
islature by competent men, do not under
stand the Importance of the mass meet
ings which are to be held tonight. These
mass meetings select the county execu-
tive committee, which has the manage
ment of the primaries. The primaries
choose the candidates. 1t is imperatively
necessary, therefore, that we should have
honest primaries, and whether the pri-
maries are honest or not will depend
largely upon the county executive COM
mittee that is to be chosen at the mass
meetings tonight.
Every democrat in the county who feels
aninterest in the community or who is
DESTROYS of having fairly conducted pri-
mary elections should attend the meet
ing in his district, The meetings will
take place at an.hour at which all can at
tend, and they will last but few min
utes. The men who should be chosen for
committeeman are those you feel sure
will always act. from disinterested mo-
tives, and will discharge their duties
faithfully, conscientiously and for the
public good.
1t all depends upon the standpoint how
thing looks. Especially is this true of
things in Atlanta, and more especially of
the recent Fulton county mass meeting
The New York Suns correspondent at
that place, viewing the proceedings from
an anti-administration standpoint, says:
Cleveland resolutions were squashed
and an effort by patronage heelers to
pack the meeting was beaten. The lines
were closely drawn and Cleveland was
turned down. The New York Times
man there must have been on the other
side of the crowd and got pro-adminis-
tration view of things, for he says: THE
anti-administration campaign in Georgia.
which has been gradually disintegrating
for some time, was formally abandoned
by its leaders to-day when the democratic
mass meeting of Fulton county adopted
resolutions strongly indorsing President
Cleveland and his administration. In an
instance of this kind all reader can do is
to read and form his own opinions.
Under the new reapportionment bill the
old Seventh congressional district Of
South Carolina becomes virtually the new
First district, in which Charleston is
situated. The Seventh district is now
represented by negro, c. w. Murray.
Robert Smalls, eX-collector of customs at
Beaufort, wishes to Dust Murray from the
seat ald get into it himself. as the first
representative of the new First district.
Smalls, therefore, has had himself nomi-
mated by one republican convention, and
is making a vigorous campaign. Murray,
however, is not without following. and
has also been nominated, by another re-
publican convention; and he also will
make a vigorous fight. This strife will
divide the black vote and may enable
the white democrats 10 come in between
with Judge Izlar, who now represents the
old First district. and carry the election.
The Charlestonians, as may be imagined,
are not eXerting themselves 10 bring
about an understanding between Smalls
and Murray.

The Tariff Still the Issue.

1t was two years ago. and the action of a few
compromising senators who have betrayed

the laboring classes all over the country. The
farmers, mechanics and laboring men of the
country are fast Weakening to the fact that
protective tariff is not TO their interest.

Republicans and the Income Tax.

From Springfield lMaSs..) Republican UndD.
II is curious and significant fact that not
one or the republican S ate conventions so
iar held has had word 10 say against the
proposed income tax. Nolleys have been fired
at all other conspicuous points in the demo
cratic armor. but the income tax question is
carefully avoided. 1t has been true OF the
western conventions held in Indiana, Ohio
and Kansas no less emphatically than of the
party gatherings IN the eastern states Of
pennsylvania and Maine. Poor old New
York The more its organs have ragged

become elsewhere Indeed. we cannot but
think that the Incorporate attack upon this
tax which has teen made by the New York
sun, Evening Post, tribune and other metro

utterly barDarous and unheard Of principle
that taxes should be levied per capita, and

Judge S. r. Atkinson, in an address at
Brunswick the other night. advanced
novel reason why the political and in
dustrial emancipation of women should
not be pushed, at least just at present.
His idea was that woman's should, to
great degree, be an ideal sphere, and that
this progressive and baser age had bent
too much to the idea of woman's personal
striving in the business arena. AT this
time, while half of the masculine popula-
ton of the world are in enforced idleness.
il is poor policy to still greater increase
the competition" That is to say, it is
the judges idea that women should be
educated to pure home life, should make
good wives and require the men to sup
port them. But how are the girls who
don't want to get married and be de-
pendent going to get along: Education
for an ideal life will not win bread 1t
takes realities TO keep the pot boiling.
DR. Edward Everett Hale. the distin-
Tuished author and Unitarian preacher, in
an interview at Pittsburg, Pa, few days
ago, said his belief was the solution of the
labor troubles was 10 be found in the
southern states IF instead of import
ing foreign pauper labor to work in oar
mills and along our great enterprises Of
all sorts, we would seek laborers among
the thousands of unemployed negroes
down south most beneficial change
would be instituted in the United
States" This plan. as the reverend gen
tleman said, would keep out thousands of
undesirable i'm migrants, to the great
benefit of the country, and many colored
citizens who now find it difficult to obtain
employment would be given something to
do. There is no class of day labor more
satisfactory than the negro, as the Penn
sylvania and Ohio people would discover
if they would give HIM a trial. DR.
Hale's idea carried out would be of
inestimable benefit TO the south, and
would have southern co-opera ton. The
south has too many blacks and the north
and west too few. The south needs
another class of working people than the
blacks II needs white farmers and
tradesmen to develop its resources. The
black man is not much of a developer on
his own hook He must have somebody
TO direct him and keep him at the work
DR. Hale's plan, furthermore, would do a
great deal toward settling the so-called
race problem. IF IL were possible to dis
tribute the black population Of the south
evenly all over the United States to-inor
row, nobody would talk Of race problem
ii years hence.
