the removal Of the dyeing and fin
ishing works to this city. 1t is true
he did not spend much Of his time or
money to secure it. but there are
those who did both, who labored early
ard late 70 accomplish that most de
sirable object. They did their work
without hope of personal reward
solely for the good of the community
and now rejoice to know that
through their efforts the wolf has
been kept from the door of many a
Martinsburg home during the past
winter. OF course it is right and
proper for all to rejoice over the
prosperity Of the community, especi-
ally that which has been secured
through the efforts Of public spirited
citizens. But we submit that it
would be much better if all classes OF
our citizens were employed at remun-
erative prices. With one-half OF our
people idle and the other half EN-
ployed at low rates there can be no
general prosperity. With imports
rapidly increasing it is only ques-
ton of time when the markets will
be glutted with foreign goods, then
good-by to manufactures in this
country The like has happened be-
fore and will happen again.

In discussion of the silver ques-
ton last week we stated that in our
opinion the proper thing for this
country to do is to secure information
al bimetallisn. If that cannot be
had there are two things that can be
done, either OF which will be compar-
atively safe. Oneis to provide for the
free coinage of so much of the Ameri
can product as we can use, with tar
if on foreign silver the other is to
adopt free coinage on the 10 to basis
and then to provide that the seign-
iorage-the difference between the
coinage and the bullion value-be
held by the government as reserve
to maintain the parity between gold
and silver. We believe that to be the
most feasible plan and one that will
maintain the parity If such thing is
possible.

AN lNANE ADMINISTRATION.

If ever this government needed a
steady head and strong arm at the
helm now is the time. Diplomatic
troubles are springing up on every
hand.
Spain has been asked to apologize
for firing on the Alliance, but is in no
hurry to do so. She has a rebellion
in the South Sea islands and in Cuba,
and is Just recovering from minis
terial crisis at home, which is some
excuse for her hardness. Her minis
ter to this country used undiplomatic
language toward Gresham and asked
his government to relieve him which
request was refused at first but since
granted.
France has been imposing upon an
American in far off Madagascar as
we'll as discriminating against our
products.
Germany says our beef and pork
are diseased and will have none of
either.
Minister Thurston of Hawaii is non
persona grata to Gresham and has
been invited to go home.
Great Britain is determined to steal
large slice of Venezuela and has i'm
posed heavy fine upon Nicaragua for
insulting Consul Hatch and VOWS that
the fine must be paid. She also
claims more, which she processes to
be willing to submit to arbitration,
but makes the condition that no
American republic shall have hand
in the arbitration,
Baron Fava, the Italian minister to
to this country, snubbed Gresham by
writing to the governor of Colorado
about some Italians who were lynched
in the mining regions of that State,
and so on.
With indignities being heaped upon
us in every quarter the State Depart
lnent is serene as the May morning
which is yet to come, except that it
shakes in its boots every time the
British lion growls.

STARTLING DISCOVERIES /

Our amiable neighbor, the States
man, has, after lapse of nearly five
months, plucked up courage enough
to write the word wool" He first
fortified himself behind a redoubt OF
epithets which he hurls, as irresistible
arguments, at the Herald, fully con-
WINGED lin his mind that such "argu-
ments' will avail. We are free to
admit there are those who consider
uicknalres the acme of logic and
newspaper ethics. 1t is we'll known
that a few such are readers of the
Statesman.
1t was long and laborious search
but our erudite friend is interchangeable
and has finally found a man who was
offered fourteen cents pound for his
wool last year, but declined the offer,
ard on Monday last sold the same
wool for sixteen cents One swallow
makes summer and this one sale
settles the matter. Several such
sales were heard of during the cam
paign last year, but most of them
originated in the minds of Democratic
politicians.
Another argument adduced is that
business men are advertising their
wares at greatly reduced rates. No
oae denies that frightful reductions
have been made not only in the
prices of manufactured commodities
but in wages and all farm products.
The great and pressing difficulty
among business men is to find pur.
chasers and they have cut their prof
its TO the lowest possible limit, for
the simple reason that the people are
so scarce of money that they count
every cent. When men work at re.
duced wages, on short time, they are
obliged to economize and business
men naturally offer extra induce
ments to buyers.
The editor of the Statesman doubt
less remembers the effort that was
made a year ago to secure the en-,
largement of the hosiery mills and

THE PLAN WELL THOUGHT OF.
The Central Reorganization Scheme
Generally Endorsed.

The Central Reorganization Scheme
Generally Endorsed.
The Central railroad plan of reorganiza-
ton was correctly given in detail in yes
terdays Morning News. The call for de-
posts of securities is published to-day, and
as the time is short, it may take some
quick work to gather them all in. The Sc
curities must be deposited with the Mer-
camille Trust Company, which has been
made the depository, by July 1, 1895.
The invitation is extended to all classes
of security holders to participate in the
plan, and all interests except the Savan-
nah and Western bondholders will no
doubt come in at once.
The Savannah and Western people, how
ever, have persistently refused TO take
what has been offered them, and are go
ing ahead apparently with the intention of
taking their property into their own
hands and running it Independently.
The other interests are in harmony
however, and no trouble is expected so
far as they are concerned. The publica-
ton of the plan and the harmOniziug of
all interests has done away with the ne
cessity of borrowing money with which TO
pay off the floating debt as that is pro-
vided for under the new scheme. For
this reason an order vacating the former
order of Judge Pardee, allowing the re-
ceivers to borrow money for this purpose
has been taken, and was filed in the
United States court here yesterday.
Word was received from. New York yes
terday stating that all interests, with the
exception, of course, OF the Savannah and
Western people. we're in thorough har-
mony and accord, and that the plan was
generally very we'll thought of. 1t is ex-
pected to go through without any trou-
BILE.

PAPY MADE FREIGHT AGENT.
Mr.. Owens Successor an Up-tO-Date
Railroad Man.

huAlrOH0 wan.
Circulars will be issued to-day announc-
ing the appointment Of MT. F. B. Papy
as general freight agent Of the Plant
system. The appointment is effective
from June !, although Mr.. c. d. Owens
resignation as traffic manager does not
go into effect until July 1.
Mr.. Papy began railroading in 1859, and
is perhaps the Oldest railroad man in
Georgia. He began with the Pensacola
and Georgia railroad, as 1t was then
known, and was with it through all the
successive changes. He entered the army
in 1851, but returned to the same road
Immediately after his discharge. He con-
tinued with it as general freight and pas
senger agent traffic manager, and was
finally made its receiver when il went into
the courts. He has been with the Plant
system since 1887, and has always shown
himself thoroughly competent freight
man. His close attention TO the Depart
ment in which he has been employed,
and his systematic study of traffic mat
ters, have thoroughly equipped him for
the more important position which he is
called on to occupy.
II is a peculiar fact that Mr.. James
Menzies, who has been appointed assist
ant general freight agent of the system,
went TO Florida as Mr.. Papy's chief clerk
thirteen years ago. He now occupies rel
atively the same position to Mr. Papy as
he did at that time. He was general
freight agent Of the Jacksonville, Tampa
and Key West railroad just prior to his
recent appointment, which was effective
June l. and has been a most successful
young man in the railroad world. For
the present his headquarters will be at
jacksonville, but it is probable that they
Will be moved to Savannah within a short
time.
