Chrirtmns RnvinE.

The merchants of Savannah. in antici-
patton of brisk and improved trade this
Christmas, now that the election is over
and politics has been shelved for time,
made preparations to meet any Legitimate
demand that might be made upon them.
The stocks they are carrying this season
are probably fuller and finer than they
have carried for several years. Their
windows and shelves show how well the
stocks have been selected. The display
was never more brilliant than now. Any
thing within reason that may be desired
for a Christmas present, or to make the
holidays perfect, can be had in Savannah.
There is no necessity for sending to New
York, Boston or Philadelphia for holiday
articles. But there are some people vho
insist upon and persist in doing it, not
withstandlng many of them draw the
greater part of their incomes from the
merchants whom they decline to patron
ize
If there were considerable sums OF
money to be saved by sending away for
merchandise, there would be some reason
in doing it. But there are not. The Sa-
vannah merchants buy as cheaply as the
merchants of any other city, and they sell
as cheaply, everything considered. There
are very few instances, if indeed there
are any at ALL in which Savannah mer-
chants would not be glad to duplicate New
York or Philadelphia prices, and save the
purchaser the freight. If there is any
doubt about it, let the prospective pur-
chaser try it once; and he may be sur
prsed to fpd that the Savannah mer-
chant will actually undersell the north
erner. An instance of the kind occurred
a day or two ago. A staple and extern
svely advertised article was desired. A
letter to a New York firm brought the
reply that the price was $40, and that il
that amount, cash, were RENTED the
firm would be pleased to forward the ar
ticle at once. The article was found on
sale in Savannah store, and the price
was stated to be 49, Yet it would be
safe to wager a chinchilla overcoat against
the jacket of boiled potato that there
are numbers of people in this city who
have sent to New York for that very
article and paid $40 for it when they
might have bought it in Savannah for So
There is no appeal to public spirit in
an argument like that; it is an appeal TO
common sense. All the Savannah mer-
chants ask is that they be given the OPP
portunity to demonstrate that this city is
one of the best retail distributing points
in the country. They ought to have that
opportunity; they have right to ask 1t.

Too Long for Her 10 Wait.

The Widow Teeter's husband had been
dead only few weeks when there were
surface indications that she was about
to marry again, says Truth.
The late Mr.. Teeter had not been exactly
a model husband and it was the general
opinion That his death was a stroke of good
fortune fer Mrs. Teeter, but still the rela-
uves OF the deceased thought that his
memory required widowhood of at least
a year. When the indications of the an
preaching marriage became apparent
some of her late husbands friends wait
ed on Mrs. Teeter and one of them said
I'VE hear that you are about to marry
again, Lucy Ann"

A library OF One BOOK.

Here is an enjoyable little bit of his
tory that has descended to us. says Har-
per's Round Table. 1t seems that some
hundred and fifty years ago the natives OF
one of the Scilly Islands boa sted a library
which consisted of but one book. It was
the pride and delight Of the people, and
went from hand to hand until its pages.
from perpetual thumbing and handling
grew utterly worthless. This alarmed the
proud natives, and meeting of the digni-
tares was held TO decide upon the pur-
chase of a new library. this time of more
than one book. Long and loud they ar
gued, and the matter was nearly approach
ing disastrous crisis when deputation
Of townspeople, desiring to have a voice
in the matter waited upon the dignitaries
Again the discussion waxed furious. and
the ultimate result was the following res
olutios.

The pictures of groups of famine suffer
ers of India, which are being published in
some of the newspapers show that there
is, beyond question, a terrible state of af-
fairs in some of the famine afflicted dis
tricts. 1t is apparent. however, from the
differences in the published accounts of
the famine that the number of actual suf-
ferers is much less than it was at first
said to be. At one time it was declared
that 100000 of people were suf-
fering for food, and that fully third of
the number would die of starvation. Now
it is admitted that not more than 100000
are affected by the famine, ana it is a
pretty safe estimate that not 10 per cent
of them will die from the lack of food.
The estimates of the number of suffer
ers are necessarily inaccurate. 1t is
impossible TO find out in such an immense
area of country just what the actual stu
alton is.
1t is quite certain. however, that food
supplies are being sent into the afflicted
fegion in great abundance. and that the
death rate will be far less than it was
at first thought it would be. The arrange
ments for distributing food are excellent.
There is a regular famine organization
which, owing to the frequency of famine in
India. has a continuous existence. AS soon
as it is announced that there is distress
from lack of food in any part of the EN-
pre, this organization takes steps to as
sist the sufferers.
Owing to rains in November there will
not be a total failure of crops through
out the entire famine district, The de-
mand for food supplies. beyond what the
country produces, is large. however, and
this demand will have to be supplied by
the government and charitable people.

BOatner's Bad Break.
From the Nashville American Dem.).

Representative Boatner OF louisiana
has made bad break. Belonging TO a
party which has persistently advocated
governmental economy he now, at a time
when expenditures caused by eXtravagant
appropriations have far exceeded income,
introduces a bill IN the lower house in
creasing the salary OF the speaker to Sl0,-
600, and the salaries of senators and rep
resentatives from 5000 to $500. 1t does
not seem possible that this bill will be
seriously considered when every sensible
man knows that expenditures, except for
necessary needs OF the government, should
be cut down and that strictest economy Is
imperatively demanded. Already. under
the plea that they were overworked.
each congressman has been given clerk
who is paid by the government. and there
Is no possible Justification Of an attempt
10 increase salaries as Mr.. Boatner pro-
poses 10 do.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER is. 1896.

Usually the President is requested by
congress to submit to it certain informa-
ton desired. if it would not in his opin-
ion be inconsistent with the public inter-
ests. Senator Morgan's Cuban resolution
introduced on Monday announces that it
is expected" that the President will sub
init the information wanted. Senator Nor
gan has got beyond making a respectful
request of the President; nothing will
suit him but blunt, ill-humored demand.
And yet Senator Morgan is one of the
greatest sticklers in the Senate for "cour-
tesy."

found 70 be surprisingly small. No COM
munity has as yet succeeded in mastering
much more than a corporals guard Of

The legislature of this state appears to
be controlled by a queer policy. To get To-
cal measure adopted the members for the
county from which the bill comes. and also
the senator in whose district the county is,
must favor it. II the representatives and
the senator differ in respect to the bill,
the bill doesn't pass. If the representa-
tives favor it, and the senator opposes 1t,
the House will pass 1t and the Senate will
turn It down. Notice the fate Of the bill
to abolish the commissionershiD of public
works in this city. The moral is before you
undertake to get a local bill through the
legislature, be sure you have the support
of your senator as well as your represent,
tatives.

Matter of SeIf-PreservatiOn
From the Baltimore Herald Dem).

The immigration problem is one which
deserves most serious consideration. Our
country has been regarded from the be-
ginning as a refuge of the oppressed and
as an asylum for the down trodden of
all nations. But in giving free entry to
immigration for a period of many years
we have filled the "cily of refuge" and
have practically exhausted the facilities
of the asylum" The question now pre-
sents itself in the light of precaution for
self-preservation.

The Vanderbilt Properties

The story that is attracting some atten-
ton in Wall street that ]. Pierpont Nor
gan is to undertake the direction of the
Vanderbilt railroad properties does not
appear to have any substantial foundation.
According to the story Mr.. Morgan has
been waiting and scheming for years to
get control of these properties, and, ow-
ing to the illness of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
has finally succeeded. The probabilities
are that the story grew out of the fact
that Cornelius Vanderbilt is still a sick
man, and it may be a long time before he
fully RECEIVERS his health. In fact, he may
never fully recover it. But he is capable
of managing the affairs of the great corpo-
rations of which he is the head. Besides,
he has the assistance of very able men.
A feature of the story is that
Mr.. Depew, the president of
the New York Central has
the most important foreign missions. and
will soon resign the railroad presidency
When asked about the matter Mr.. Depew
said that there was no foundation for the
story. He doesn't want an Office he says,
and wouldn't accept one if it were offered
to him. He emphatically denied that it is
the purpose of the Vanderbilts to abandon
the management of the New York Central
and Hudson river railroads. They do not
own the majority of the stock, and haven't
for many years, having parted with much
of their holdings because they preferred to
have the stock distributed. 1t would be
folly, Mr.. Depew says, for the majority of
the stockholders TO antagonize the Van
derbilts. because the latter own the west
ern connections OF the roads. Deprived
of its connections the New York Cen
trail would cease to be the valuable proper
ty it is.
Some curious stories are started in Wall
street and it is seldom possible to trace
them to their source.

All Politics, No Statesmanship.
From the Houston (Tex) Post Dem.)

Congress is getting TO be an unwieldy
body, Notwithstanding the fact that It is
a smaller body than either the French or
British parllaments. The time is fritted
away during the long session in debate
and in the efforts Of individual members
to pass pet measures calculated to aid in
their reelection. The most important is
sues. from time to time, the suggestions
from the departments looking TO the ne
cessities Of the public defense and public
service, fare the worst Of all. And the
gloomy prospect is never improved by the
selection Of a new membership.
