Unless some Improvement should be made
1t would probably be about as well for the

Justice Harlan has not received mucn
praise for his stump speech from mo

basis for a presidential boom il must be
set down as failure. The press OF his
own party censures his conduct and saws
1t was a cause for humiliation that a re-

more harm than good. But it is to 10, ~e-

Debs says that Justice Harlan's denlInci

The JonquiI Maid.

Arthur Macy, in ST. Nicholas.
A little maid sat in a ionquil tree,
singing alone in low-love tone
AND the wind swept by with a wistful
moan;
For he longed to stay
With the maid all day;
But he knew,
AS he blew,
1t was true
That the dew
Would never, never dry
If the wind should die:
SO he hurried away where the rosebuds
grew,
And while TO the Land of the Rose went
he,
Singing alone in a low-love tone.
Inc Little Maid sat in a jonqul tree.
The wind swept back to the jonquil tree
At the close of the day,
In the twilight gray;
But the sweet, Little Maid had stolen
away;
And whittier she's flown
VIII never be known
Till the rose
As II blows
Shall disclose
All it knows
of the maid so fair
With the sunset hair,
And the sad wind comes, and signs and
goes,
And dreams of the day when he blew so
free
When singing alone in low love-tone.
A Little Maid sat in a jonquil tree.

The appeal which business men in New

who have business relations with the

Cd in the sOuth's prosperity. have ad-
dressed to business men OF the south in
behalf OF sound money is a strong one.

are urging free. unlimited and independent
silver coinage are not successful
Those who send out this appeal. how
ever. arc mistaken if they think the bust
ness men Of the south are not a unit al
most for sound money. We do not find
any considerable sentiment in this city In
favor OF the free coinage Of silver, except
on the basis Of an international agree
ment. and we assume that what is true
in respect to Savannah Is true in respect
to other southern cities.
The silverites are found among the poll
ticians and the people outside of the cities
and towns. These people have not yet
studied the silver question. They have
simply adopted the opinions Of the poll
ticians. and really believe that free silver
coinage would be of immense benefit to
them by making money more plentiful.
We do not believe they are particularly
anxious for silver. They simply want an
increase. in the volume Of the currency,
they have been led to believe it would in
crease the volume Of money in circula-
tion, and therefore would make It easier
TO get money.

A storx of the Leca.

The visit of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, says the
Louisville Courier-J ournal, has started a
story which he told on himself several
years ago, and which is a good illustra-
tion of the love the confederate soldiers
bore toward Gen. Robert K. Lee. As it
Is well known, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was at
the head Of the cavalry, and these were
much envied by the infantry men, who
had to walk through the mud and dust
After Gen. Robert r. Lee had surren-
dered, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee rode away
from AppomattoX. While riding through
a lane he met an old North Carolina sol
der.
no, there" cried Gen. Lee, where are
you going?"
I've been off on a furlough. and am
now going back to join Gen. Bob Lee"
replied the old soldier.
You needn't go back, but can throw
your gun away and return home, for
Lees surrendered"
Lees surrendered?"
That's what l said" said Gen. Lee.
1T must have been that damned Fitz
Lee, then. Bob Lee would never sur
render" and the old soldier put on
look of contempt and walked on.

cause the governor set aside a sentence
that he had imposed upon a prominent
politician, hence the judge proposes to get
even with the governor by clearing the
jail at Jacksonville of a lot OF hard char
acters. How this will spite the governor
is not apparent. unless the judge hopes to

DcInx Is Dangerous.

Less than two weeks remain in which
citizens who desire to take part in the mo
fence" election can register. No one will
be permitted to vote at that election who
has not registered in accordance with the
requirements of the new registration law.
The issue is a tremendously important
one for Chatham county and the city Of
Savannah Every citizen ought to realize
that it is, and do what he can to put the
county on the road to prosperity. Not on
ly is the health of the city and county IN
volved in the election, but also the bring
ing under cultivation of the great areas
of highly productive land of the county.
If the people will adopt the mo fence"
law an immense impetus viii be given to
the work of draining the county and also
to the county's agricultural development.
If that law is adopted in July we shall see
within a very few years all the swamps Of
the county drained, the forests removed
and productive farms where there is now
only waste land of little value to any
body.
We cannot afford to let matters stand as
they are IN respect TO the lands OF this
county. We must have them drained and
put under cultivation. The health and
prosperity of both the city and the county
demand it. and yet we shall move along in
the old ruts for years to come unless we
compel owners of practically worthless
cattle to fence in their stock and thus pro-
tect our drains and permit the planting
of crops without fences With so much at
stake cannot the voters of this city and
county find time to lend progress a help

this year is said to be very good, and the
prospects are that prices will be somewhat
lower than they were last year, hence con-
sumers at home as well as the producers
will get some of the benefits of the fun
crop.
