that Savannah was not a bigger city in a
business way than II is.
You don't advertise yourselves

Is THE COUNTY LIABLEf
Coroner Goette Puts in a Bill for the
Joe Harris Inquest.

The county commissioners held a very
brief session yesterday afternoon. It was
the occasion Of their regular meeting, but
there vas very little regular business on
the docket to be transacted. and only three
Of the commissioners. Chairman Dale,
Commissioners Charlton and Kehoe were
present.
After the minutes were read the only
matter taken up for discussion was a bill
for Jurors fees In the case Of the Joe Har-
ris inquest held by Coroner Goette from
June % 10 "A. He put In a bill for six Jurors
at 81 a day, for four days making in all S24
The commissioners. however. were not dis
posed TO pay the bill and the matter was
referred TO the county attorney.
Mr. J. r. Saussy. the county attorney
read the law on the subject. which is to
the effect that Jurors on a coroner's in
quest are entitled to only 81 per inquest, so
that in case the jury is entitled 10 any pay
at al IN the case. IL IS the position of the
commissioners that the county can be held
liable for only S.
Inere Is serious question however, as to
whether the county can be held liable at
all Tor the expenses Of the inquest, for the
reason that the law provides that where
there is a death such as this was. at
f+-1piis anu where q physician was IN at
tendance at the prison, the coroner shall
mold no inquest unless there is an affidavit
made TO the effect that there was foul
play Under these circumstances the party
making the affidavit must pay for the in
quest and II II is found that there was
foul play then the county will reimburse
the party making the affidavit and paying
Tor the inquest. In case however. the jury
hnds there was no foul play then the ex-
pense OF the inquest IS on the party making
the affidavit to that effect.
In this case. however, Rachel Harris,
the mother OF the convict who died. simply
went to Coroner Goette, stated that she
believed he had been whipped to death,
and asked that an inquest be held The in
quest was held and the verdict was not in
accordance with her claims with regard to
the boys death Under the law therefore,
1t would seem that the jury cannot hold
the county liable for its fees.
Chairman Dale stated that he had ac-
cepted an invitation TO 90 down the river
on the tug McCauley with Hon Josiah
Patterson, and on this account the meet
ing was adjourned for the afternoon. The
matter was referred to the county attorney
for full report which viii be made at a
meeting to be held at o'clock this after
noon.

up the house in the morning when she
happened to look out of a window into the

Imported Synopsis of the Canal Re-
port Printed in Nicaragua,
1t Is Believed That Colorado Bar Is
Favored az he AtIant ic Terminus
Seven Years Necessary.

The latest mail from Central America
brought files of the BluefieIds (NicaraguaJ
Recorder, in one issue of which, that Of
July 9Th, appeared the following arti-
Gle, purporting to give the recnmmenda-
tions of the United States commission which
recently inspected the canal:
I'VE are in receipt OF United States ad-
vices to the effect that a favora Bile report
on the Nicaragua canal viii be made by
the United states government commission
which lately examined the proposed canal
route and the terminal harbOrs pn the At
lantic and Pacific coasts.
The commissioners think that the work
of constructing the canal can be completed
in six or seven years, but that the total
cost will considerably exceed the limit set
by the projectors, and that $4,000, 600
will not be an excessive figure. They viii
ventilate their opinion pf the former man
agement OF the canal enterprise and viii
present a number of severe criticisms in
this connection.
Since the above was in type we have
had communication Of a private letter
from GreytOWn, III which it is stated that
advices have been received there to the
effect that the report OF the commissioners
is not as satisfactory for that locality as
it was at first anticipated. Itappears that
the commissioners after reaching the '.di-
vide" decided not to go any farther and
returned to Greytown.
There Col. Ludlow, chairman Of the com
mission, expressed himself very openly on
the question Of the Atlantic terminus which,
he said, should be, in the event Of any
decision being arrived at, the Colorado bar
instead of Greytown."

PATRIOTISM HIS THEME.

Rev. Geo. BucChuS' Sermon to Junior
Order American Mechanics.
Rev George @. Racchus, pastor of the
First Protestant Methodist Church, corner
of Virginia avenue ard Fifth street south
east, delivered a very interesting address
last evening at that church 10 the Junior
Order Of American Mechanics, the Affili-
ated Association OF. the Daughters of Lib
crty, and the members OF the A. ? a. AS
sociauon. His text was from the Gospel
OF ST. John, eleventh chapter and forty
eighth verse, Ard the Romans shan come
and take away our place and nation.
The application of TINS text was that
this country should bc preserycd as one Of
free speech, liberty OF thought and re-
ligious opinion. A very Interesting part
of the discourse was on the subject OF the
public schools, which he characterized as
the bulwark of American liberty TIE only
hope for the nation was iB unfolding Amcri-
can industries and American enterprises.
And thiscan be done onlyby tie preservation
and maintenance OF the Constitution as
handed down by our forefataers.
Speaking Of the fear entprt aimed by the
jews that the Romans would Come and
take their country, he paid high COM
pliment 10 the steadfastness 10 principls
and patriotism of the race. No matter, ne
said, where they were. or how widely they
were scattered they are sull true TO their
faith

TIE nERs REsoLrrIoNs.

Those who object TO the Debs resolutions,
published in another column, should bear
in mind that, as the law is now con-
strued, organized labor is looked upon in
the United states court as trust, and that
wage-earners are powerless TO resist cor
porate encroachments by an organized
effort.
At the time Of the Chicago strike the
antitrust law was used 10 prevent the
leaders OF The American Railway Union
from directing the strike, and because Debs
and his associate leaders failed to comply
with the order OF court they were con-
victed OF contempt and sentenced to impris-
onment.
The main object OF the resolutions is TO
Prepare the way for Congress to define
tie positionof org anized labor This should
