The Tybee Road,

An extraordinary effort is being
made to repair the Savannah
and Atlantic railroad. 1t can be put in
irst-class condition for sS2, 900
But how is that amount Of money TO be
raisedl That now is the all important
question. The hondholders have con-
sented TO an issue of receivers certificates
sufficient TO meet the necessary expendi-
ture, but a market for the certificates
has not yet been found. They have been
offered in New York, but there were no
bidders there for them, for the reason
that the road has not shown any net earn
ings. The Londholders do not feel that
they can shoulder the whole burden of re
pairing the road, particularly as the road
is for the benefit of Savannah and the
owners Of Tybee property.
The proposition which the bondholders
make is that citizens of Savannah
shall assist them in carrying the
certificates. The certificates bear per
cent. interest and, it is believed,
are a good investment. If the
road is repaired it will be
taken care of in the Central's reorganiza-
ton scheme. The first thing TO receive
consideration will be the receivers GER
tifcates. They will be paid dollar for
dollar with interest. even if the bond
holders get little or nothing.
And even if there should be no reorgan-
ization the certificates would be good If
trains are run only in the summer
season, as is now proposed, the road will
earn considerable amount above oper-
ating expenses. Why it has not earned
anything heretofore, is because there is
very little business for eight months of
the year. But if the expenses for these
eight months are cut off, there will remain
quite handsome surplus to be applied to
the payment Of the certificates. As
matter of fact. the holders of certificates
will own the road until their claim is
satisfied.
Tybee has become almost necessity to
Savannah for four months of the year.
From the middle of May until the middle
of September not only the people of Sa-
vannah but thousands from the interior
towns visit Tybee for sea bathing and
fresh air.
What is needed now is a little public
spirit on the part of Savannah. Tybee is
a Savannah institution that the Savan-
nah people don't want to give up. They
can still have it, and, that too, without
any cost to them, because it is beyond
question that the repaired road will be
worth far more than SS2, 900.
No doubt, the bondholders will be lib.
eral subscribers for the certificates. One
of them has already subscribed $500.
No one will be held for his subscription
unless the whole amount is subscribed.
The money needed ought to be obtained
in day. Indeed, Savannah cannot af-
ford to be without railroad connection
with Tybee.

War Talk.

The announcement in the Pail Mall
Gazette day or two ago that MIR. Glad
stone would soon resign the premiership,
taken in connection with the recent as
sertion of the London Telegraph
that England was threatened with
war, has aroused a great deal of ex-
citement in England.
The public can see no signs of war, and
wonder from what source it is expected
if, indeed, it is expected at all, by the
ministry 1t is true, Mr.. Gladstone has
published a denial of the report relative
TO his resignation, but it is so worded
that in the minds of many it is regarded
as confirmation of the report. The way
the situation presents itself to them is
this: MIR. Gladstone foresees war in the
near future, and, feeling himself unequal
TO the task of directing the government
should war occur, proposes to make room
for younger man before trouble begins.
If Mr.. Gladstone has no intention of re-
signing it is thought he would have been
so explicit in his denial that no room
would have been left for doubt as to his
purpose. His denial has, in fact, added
to the general feeling of uneasiness.
At present, as far as the public can see,
England is not on the eve of war. She is
on good terms with other nations. 1t is
suspected, however, that the ministry
have information relative to affairs on
the continent that has not got beyond the
inner diplomatic circles, and that it is of
character that iustities the sensational
announcement made by the Telegraph
Unless there is an authorize tive announce
ment that the talk of war has no founda-
ton, the apprehensive feeling that now
tpervades England is likely to continue
for some time.

An Objectionable Practitioner.

They tell good story about Judge who is
well known in Buffalo, says the Express, of
that city. Some time ago a man, who is a
"shySter" lawyer, came before him to make a
motion. This man lived in one of the subur-
ban towns, and he was not particularly scru-
pulous as regards his personal appearance
He waited until he had an opportunity to ad-
dress the judge, and then made his motion. 1t
was merely a perfunctory sort of motion, to
open case or something Of the kind, and not
one in thousand is refused by any Judge
Everybody 1n'the court room was, therefore
greatly surprised when the Judge Numbered
out: Denied"
The man himself was completely taken
aback. He rose to his feet and stammered
and suffered, and finally said: Your Honor
L hope you have not mistaken the import Of
this motion. 1t is mere formal affair 1 fail
10 see on what ground you base your deci-
SION
"Denied!'' roared the judge again.
think you must be laboring under a misap-
prehension This is of no Importance There
isn't a soul on earth who isn't willing that the
motion should be granted"
It's denied, tell you" said the Judge
again.
will your honor kindly state the grounds
on which the denial is made?"
The judge Strengthened up in his chair took
of his eyeglasses and looked severely at the
lawyer He extended his hand and pointed
one of his long fingers at him. THE motion
is denied for two reasons" he said. Impress
lively First, you are not regular member
OF the bar, and not entitled to practice in a
court OF record second, you need bath"

The way a woman's Mind works.

The telegraph operators were telling stories
last night, says the Buffalo Express. The tall
man who has held a key all over the country
had the floor.
You see good many Jokes in the papers,"
SAID he, about the culture of Boston and the
habit people living there have OF using big
words and correct grammar and all that.
Most OF you think that these jokes have no
foundation In fact. Now, know better. 1
was receiving clerk in the Western Union
ONCE there good many years ago and some
OF the messages handed in to me were cork
ers,
"One summer had the cable window. One
day two women, dressed in black and greatly
agitated, came in and inquired the rate per
word to London. told them 1t was 20 cents.
They consulted for minute and then one Of
them asked for blank. l told them where
the blanks were and one of them wrote
message. The other took 1t and read it two
or three times.
Then she came over to the window and
asked again how much it was word to Lon
don. 'Twenty-eight cents, l told her. She
looked at the message obviously. The other
woman came up to her and said: Don't you
like itg'
NO she said, 4 don't like it, That form
Is improper. You say that Charles suicided
this morning, when it should be said that
Charles committed suicide this morning
." But, said the other, If we put it in that
way we will save % cents
THE woman who objected turned this prop
osition over in her mind for a long time.
FINALLY she said: L don't think that such syn
tax Is eXcusable.'
The other took the blank and read the
message a few dozen times. We're poor
she said decisively. after studying it in all its
phases, and we can't save IS cents any
easier
This partially convinced the woman who
objected. But what will our friends Think
she asked. obviously.
." I suppose they will notice it. but we can't
help that. Then the two women retired to
one corner of the room and had consulta-
tion. After talking earnestly for ten minutes
they wrote another message. SO help me,
this is the way got it: Charles suiclded this
cheaper
And they paid me % cents a word for it.
All OF which," continued the tall operator,
illustrates one Of the curious ways in which
a woman mind works "

The official reports of the engagement
between the American and Brazilian in
surgent ships in Rio harbor the other
day, which we published yesterday, make
it appear neat variety speciality in the
comic opera war that has been going on
down in Brazil for some months. Stated
concisely, the insurgents fired some mus
kets in the direction of an American ships
boat while the boat was taking a rope
ashore; the Detroit replied by firing a
lone FOUNDER" into the water in front of
the insurgent vessels bow; the insurgent
responded by shooting his broadside guns
''to the leeward of the Detroit"-that is
away from the Detroit in the direction
towards which the wind was blowing
and later fired over the tops of the Ameri-
can merchant vessels. So far, both parties
had been shooting to see what they
couldn't hit. But the volubility of the
insurgent guns aroused Admiral
Benham's ire, and that doughty
commander concluded it was time
for heroic measures; therefore, 1.-THE
Detroit returned the fire with
musket, striking the insurgents stern
post" That ended the engagement. The

The State Ranks Tax.

It looks very much as If this congress
would not repeal the tax on state bank
circulation. The action of the committee
on banking and currency yesterday in
deciding to report unfavOrably the bill
providing for the repeal of this tax, and
making it impossible TO reconsider its &C
tion, justifes the conclusion that it will
be good while before state bank bills
will be in circulation. 1t is safe to as
sumo that the committee expresses the
sentiment of the House on this subject.
But the refusal to repeal the tax does
not necessarily mean that there will be
no legislation by this congress looking
towards greater elasticity in the currency
and an increase in its volume. Several
bills relating to the currency have been
introduced, and Representative Springer
announced some time ago that he was pre-
pairing a currency bill which he thought
would be reported favorably.
1t is evident that financial legislation
of some sort is needed by which the vol
ume of the currency can be quickly in
creased when more currency is needed.
The retirement of government bonds has
had the effect of reducing the volume of
national bank currency, and it is proba-
BILE that the treasury. within year or
two, will be in a condition again to retire
more bonds.
If the state bank tax is not to be re
moved the national banking law ought to
be amended so as TO permit the use of
other securities than government
bonds as a basis for currency.
A general complaint against the
national banks is that they do not pro-
vide sufficient amount of currency at
points distant from the great commercial
centers, and there is foundation for this
complaint. Currency issued by state
banks would remain in the states in
which it was issued, and that is one of
the reasons for the demand for the repeal
of the tax on state bank issues.
fla bill is introduced changing the
national banking law the question of re-
pealing that state bank tax may receive
some attention, but the probability that
the tax will be repealed is very remote.
The sentiment of the country is in favor
of currency that will pass anywhere,
and is not liable to discount when it
passes beyond state lines.

DR.. Edward McGlynn, the New York
priest who was some time ago excommu-
nicated because some of the things he
taught in his speeches were held to be
contrary to the tenets of the Catholic
faith, and who was later restored to the
priesthood during visit to Rome, has
been talking again on the old line that led
to his trouble. In an interview at De
troit, the other day, he pronounced him
self as still opposed to parochial schools,
and declared it was not in the province
Of priests, monks and other ecclesiastics
to teach anything but religion The pub
lie schools, when properly conducted
were all that could be desired. Parochial
schools were improper, for the reason
that the children who attended them were
isolated, in a manner Religion should be
taught only in churches, Sunday schools
and at the mothers knee.
