II is worthy OF notice that Senator Stew

Tint scheduIc.

The attempt TO create the impression
tnat the Morning News is injuring Sa-
vannah by protesting against the dis
continuance of the Central's morning train
to Augusta is too ridiculous to deserve no
tice. There many be some of course, who,
not understanding the situation. entertain
the opinion that the discontinuance of the
Augusta morning train is not hurtfu TO
Savannah in any way. but a proper con-
sideration OF the matter will show them
their mistake.
There is no complaint against the af-
ternoon train to Augusta, for the accom-
mediation of those who desire to come to
this city in the morning and return to their
homes on the same day. In fact. in the
matter of that train the Central is doing
the right thing. The complaint is that
the morning train for Macon and Atlanta
does not connect with a train at NIillen for
Augusta, and that the Central railroad, in
order TO save the expense of running
train between those two points. distance
of about fifty miles, has cut off the morn
ing connection between two important
cities of the state The Central, so far
as it is concerned has put Savannah and
Augusta, for business purposes. as far
apart as savannah anu New 1 OIk. OuCn
a condition of affairs as that cannot but
have bad effect upon Savannah's inter
ests an effect that is far reaching, and
that will be felt long after the remedy
is applied.
Atlanta or Macon would not for a sin
gle day, stand such a schedule as that
between Savannah and Augusta. Think
of the idea of there being no morning train
out of Atlanta to Macon or Augusta or
Chattanooga!
The 4 p. m. accommodation train is a
satisfactory one, but it should not be for
gotten that the putting on of such train
is not a new idea A similar train was
run years ago, and was taken off, as the
Nancy Hanks was, in a spasmodc fit Of
economy. Let the Central make a connec-
ton for Augusta with its morning train
at Millen, and there will remain no ground
for complaint.
As an illustration of how the present
schedule affects business, it may be stated
that freight shipped. by express out of this
city in the morning for points between
NIillen and Augusta, and which should
be delivered on the day of shipment, can
not be delivered until the follow
ing day The Morning News fails to see
how such a schedule benefits Savannah's
trade
The permanent business interests of the
city are not built up by such schedules as
that under consideration. No city of the
Importance of Savannah should have its
means of communication with an impor-
tant section OF country on the line of its
chief railway. and distant only from so
to 1870 miles, cut off for seventeen hours
every day.

That legs is eggs" was never truer
than at present. Beef is up and eggs
are comparatively cheap. therefore every
body is eating eggs. Upon the present
basis of prices, eggs are probably cheaper
than meat. The egg industry is growing
TO enormous proportions, too. In this
city the. item of eggs is quite an import
ant one in the volume OF trade. Mr. Ed
ward Atkinson recently published some
egg statistics that are striking. He est
mates that nearly 100000, 900 dozens eggs
are laid every year by the Industrious
hens Of the United States. Fifteen cents
he takes as a fair average price, at which
hgure the annual egg crop would be worth
Sl40OO0OO. The annual pig iron output
is worth 600, which puts eggs a
long way in the lead of pig iron. The
wool crop is worth about $4,000 900, which
shows eggs to be in the lead Of wool also
In Iowa journal has been established

The Morning News expressed the opin-
ion when a force Of c0nvicts was sent TO

that the county commissioners had made
mistake in adopting "A course calculated
10 check the drainage work in the vicinity
Of the city About one-fourth OF the avail
able convict force was sent TO Tybes.

part or the convicts remain there until a
thorough system Of drains is completed.
How ione would 70 take to construct such
= system % drainage it is. of course. i'm

taiuty. The work could not be done prob
ably inside OF year. and It might take
two years.

report Of the erand jury published yes

since the chain-eang are comfortably

Of moving them there has been incurred
already. IL would he wise for the county
commissioners 10 keep them there until
a permanent drainage is established En- ac-
cordance with the suggestions and rec
concentrations OF the county engineer"
This recommendation is made In the face
Of tho fact that for several years the peo-
pie of this city have been extremely desir-
GUS that the drainage work for the pro-
lection Of the city's health shall be pushed
forward as vigorously as possible. Is II
not matter OF vastly more consequence
that the good health Of Savannah shall
be preserved than that the health condi-
tiOns at Tybee shall he improved? Tybee
can wait. Savannah cannot afford 10 wait.
If the people Of this city were asked what
thing they would have done first II they
could have their choice. they would say.
GIVE MS thorough drainage of all the
lands i'm the vicinity Of the city. We want
good health conditions above all things"
Under these circumstances. can il be
possible that the county commissioners
viii listen 10 the recommendation of the
grand iury2 We admit 81 would be a good
thing to have Tybee thoroughly drained.
and we recognize the force of the argu-
ments in behalf of draining it. but the
argument for using the chain-gang for
drainage work at Tybee is not a hun
dredth part as strong as the argument
for keeping the whole convict force on the
drainage work around the city.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars have
been spent in the city and county for
drainage work. and very little has been
accomplished and why? Simply because
the chain-gang has been drawn Off from
the main work 10 do a little bit OF work
here and a little bit of work there, all Of

months. 1t would be much wiser on the
part of the county commissioners to keep
the whole force on canals and drains about
the city until the city is wholly free from
danger from swamps and wet lands and
hire the cheap labor to be had to open
drains at Tyboe and improve the rifle
range.

If there is a bond of sympathy between
wheat and silver strong enough to pre-
serve their parity in the market, as has
been alleged, we may presently see silver
commanding $l.29 an ounce without free
coinage. 1t is said that there is in Chica-
go combination of "bull' operators who
have determined to force wheat to 81. In
case they succeed, if the silverites theory
Is correct, the price of silver must follow

wheat being the basis of their calcula-
