The Grain Traffic From the West.

I
According to the Baltimore Record a
railroad deal" is on by which large
/ part of the grain of the west, which now
| reaches the seaboard at New York, is 70
/ be diverted 10 Newport News for export
/ from that point. For a long time New
/ York has enjoyed the virtual monopoly OF
/ the western grain traffic by reason of the
/ Erie canal and the Hudson river. The
Erie canal, however, is gradually ceasing
to be factor in this traffic owing TO its
lack of capacity and navigation require
ments. Various suggestions have been
made for the improvement Of the canal,
but as yet nothing has been done towards
adopting any one of them. While New
York is hesitating about this matter there
may be a railroad deal" which will take
from her much of this traffic. There are
railroads leading to Newport News
that would like to have it, and
that will make every possible effort
to get it, if, in fact, they are not already
doing so.
But the question that is of more inter
est here, however, is, what is Savannah
doing towards getting a portion of the
western grain trafflc2 When we were
working to get the appropriation for deep
water in our harbor we INDUCED in rosy
speculations relative to this traffic. We
pointed out how much nearer our port is
to Kansas City and the wheat fields of
Kansas than New York is and we CON
graduated ourselves that with little
effort we could have a grain traffic that
would necessitate the building of a num-
Der of great grain elevators and the pres
ence of many more steamships than now
visit us. What have we done towards
realizing the expectations in which we
then indulgedl Have we done anything
but talk, and have we done much talking
recentlyl
We are going to have twenty-six feet of
water in our harbor very soon. The
depth of water is much greater now than
is generally known. The deepening Of
the channel has been so noticeable re-
Gently that there is no longer any reason
to doubt that ships drawing twenty-six
feet will be coming to our wharves with
in eighteen months. With that depth
of water we shall be in position to ask
no odds of any port on the South Atlantic
coast.
And we ought to have big grain traf-
fc. CottOn-carrying steamers could take
a treat deal of grain in connection with
their cotton cargoes. and would be glad to
get it. They would much rather have a
mixed cargo of that kind, and they could
carry wheat in connection with cotton at
a very low rate of freight.
We cannotafford in these days of severe
competition to wait for business to come
to US. We must seek it. We got the APP
preparation for our harbor by the hardest
and most intelligent kind of work, and
the only way to build up our commerce is
to join hands and all work together to
that end. We must encourage our rail
roads to reach out in every direction for
traffic that will help our port, and we
must offer inducements that are equal, if
not greater, than those offered by any
other mort

torch, at cost of $1,000 year, is merely
an ornament; the light house board and
seafaring men say it is no practical aid to
navigation. 1t appears, therefore, that
Secretary Carlisle is in the right when he
advises that the government appropriation
for the light be discontinued. The gov
ernment should not maintain an ornamen-
tai private lamp at New York front door,
especially when bonds have to be sold to
pay for it. If New York wishes the statue
lighted, suppose New York goes down into
her pocket and foots the bill herself.

Ind, Yesterday, was one Of the most fend-
ish villain of the age. Six members of the
Wrattan family were his victims. Five
OF them he killed outright at his first at

though severely wounded by the
memo, mad good chance of

neighbor's house and put in bed, and
Stone, then unsupported, was one of the
hrst TO volunteer to help nurse her. After
sitting with the child for hours, the other
watchers, when the little patient was
resting quietly, proposed that they go to
the dining room for refreshments. Stone
said he was not hungry and preferred to
remain with little Mamie of whom he
professed TO be very fond so he was left
alone with her. When the other watch
ers returned the child was dead. 1t has
since come out that as soon as the others
mad left the room, Stone smothered her
with pillow, for fear she would recover,

In Philadelphia the other day a fellow
arrested for sneak thieving pleaded that
want of employment and inability to Sc
cure honest labor had driven him to
crime 1t may be that the fellow told
the truth. But the chances are against
It, In nearly all of the big cities, if not,
indeed, in every one of them, numbers of
persons arrested for robbery since the
hard times began last winter have offered
the same excuse, yet a record of crimes
kept in Chicago shows that there are not
more burglaries and robberies now than
usually occur about this time. 1t would,
therefore, be reflection upon the hon
esty of American labor to accept as true
the statement that hard times have driven
great numbers to thievery The truth is,
doubtless, that those who are stealing
would steal if there were two Jobs looking
for one man instead of two men looking
for one Job.

The republicans of the Third Ohio dis
trict announce that they are going to prac-
tice little Qulggism in the election of a
successor to the late Representative
George w. Houk That is to say, they are
going to do as the New York republicans
did elect republican from a democratic
district by a big majority, in protest
against the policy of the ad-
ministration. And by way of a pre-
liminary arrangement they are mis-
stating the average political standing
of the district, in which we
are disagreeably surprised to see the
Washington Post joining. 1t is the object
of the republicans to make the normal
democratic strength in the district appear
very great, so that if perchance the
republicans win, they may point to
the victory as an overwhelming condem-
nation of democratic policy To that end
the republicans assert that the usual
democratic majority is about GOO votes /:
and we find the usually fair but this time
misguided Washington Post, saying, mot
withstanding Mr.. Houk's majority of
over 900 in 1892 etc. AS a matter of
fact the district Mr.. Houk represented is
one of the most evenly balanced in the
country, and is, therefore, one of those
that are easily influenced by circum-
stances. In 1892, so far from Mr.. Houk
receiving ma ority of over 1000" he
received, according to the Congressional
Directory, majority of SO votes out of
some $4,000 votes cast. He was a candi-
date for the Fifty-frst congress in the
same district, but was beaten. Therepub-
licans had the district two terms and then
the democrats won it for two terms,
which is pretty good evidence that the
democrats never had cinch on it. With
prevailing hard times to operate against
the party in power, it would not be sur
prising if the republicans were to carry
the Third Ohio in the extra election; but
independent newspapers should at least
talk straight when commenting on the
prospects

ITO make the best citizens for the
best country in the world'' is what a
we'll known educator gives as the aim
of the Public Schools of America. This
means not only mental, but moral and
physical development, and to this end
anti-cigarette leagues are being formed
in the public schools Of our large cities,
and not only teachers but State Super
indend nts are active in the crusade
against this vice among the school
boys. Observant teachers state that
in almost every case, the truantS and
laggards are those who have the cigar
ette habit, and boys of the worst
morals, puniest bodies and weakest
intellects are found in these same
ranks. The effects of tobacco upon an
immai iure boy are known to be bad, but
the evils resulting from the use of
cigarettes are infinitely worse Our
crop of imbeciles is increasing at an
alarming rate, and the outlook for the
citizenship of the fuuu is not encour-
aging. If parents and Boards of Edu-
cation all over The lard would unite
with the teachers in behalf of the boys,
muci. good might be accomplished
There is supposed to he in this state a
law against selling cigarettes to boy
under sixteen, and also against a boy
under that age using cigarettes, but
who cares for that! Every day in the
week boys anywhere between ten and
sixteen are seen TO openly violate this
law, and good citizens observe the law
by breaking it.
