Summarizing Cats Were rare.

This old war story is told in the. Edi-
tors Drawer of -Harpers Magazine: Dur
ing the late war Capt. Smith of Richmond
with two friends CHANGED to be in the
attic of which, 50 rumor stated, was stor-
ed a goodly number of demijohns filled
with fine old spirit. The captain who had
a stammering tongue and weakness for
the rosy" suggested that his compan-
ions and himself should stop at the house
in question at such an hour in the even
ing as would elicit an invitation to spend
the night. The plan was accordingly put
into execution. The three were assigned
to the same sleeping apartment, and after
their host had bid them good night they
perceived in one corner of the room a
rough stairway at the head of which was
a trap-door. This evidently led to the loft
of which they had heard and the captain
seized the candle and assembled the steps
Unfortunately, however, when he had
reached the middle of the attic a sudden
gust from some opening in the wall ex-
ungu1Shed the light, and in CROPPING his
way in the darkness, he struck against
an object which fell to the floor with a
noise which sounded through the house
A moment afterWard he heard a door on
the first floor open, followed by the heavy
tread of the farmer making his way to
the upper story. Discovery and disgrace
were imminent. Escape was impossible
In his despair a strategy suggested itself
to the confederate, and, in a manner un-
conveyable through this medium, he ut
tered three prolonged, agonizing cater
wauls. A rnomentary silence followed
this effort; and then, to his infinite re-
lief, the retreating steps of his host smote
upon his ear. When quiet again reigned
the officer signalled cautiously to his COM
rades, and, guided by their voices sue
eeeded in getting back to his room and
finally to bed. The next morning, as thew
sat around the breakfast table, their ru-
raj entertainer expressed a hope that his
guests had rested WELL ''Ye-ye-yes.'
stammered the captain 'p-p-p-prettv
well, but a COMPOUNDED cat got in that loft
over our heads and made th-thunderin'
farmer, dryly, there are a good many
cats around here, an 1 often hear 'em
hollerin' around, but last night was the
very. first time ever heard a stutterin'
cat holler."

EacR Must Lend n HeIpIng Hand.

Euch Must Lend n Helping Hand.
There are people in this city, and there
appears to be a good many Of them. who
seem TO think that somebody else is to
blame II business is dull or If there is but
little building going on or if the efforts 10
get factories here do not appear to be very
promising. They do not for a moment think
that any responsibility rests upon them
for the condition Of affairs Of which they
complain. But what do they do TO make
the situation better? DO they do anything
but go from one person TO another ex-
pressing the opinion that there is no fu-
ture for the city. that the newspapers do
nothing TO draw attention to the city's adj
vantages and that the people seem to lack
energy and enterprise? Do they ever say,
let US Join together and put money into
this or that business. or do they, on their
own account ever do single thing that
would enable another person to earn
bread? As a matter of fact, they are dead
weight upon the city. Not only do they
show no enterprise themselves, but they
discourage others from engaging in I'M
dertakings that would help the city. by
their complaints and gloomy predictions
for the future Every dollar they get they
invest in bond or lend it at a high rate
of interest. If the thought occurs to them
to invest their money in a way that would
give employment to people, and thus help
build up the city, they put it away from
them. They let others do the improving
and up-building while they do the com
planning and. to as great an extent as they
can, reap the benefit of what others do.
And there are men who are at work all
the time for the city They have confidence
in the city's future. but they do very little
talking. What talking they do is not of
the complaining kind.
The Morning News has already announc-
ed that a car building plant that will en-
ploy from 400 to 600 workmen is almost
certainty and it is probable that a. cigar
factory will be established here very soon.
Such a factory would be the forerunner
of others.
The truth is that Savannah is about as
prosperous as any other city i'm the coun-
try and her prospects for steady in
crease in wealth and population are about
as good as those of any other city. Our
shipping interests have been a little dun
this year because the cotton crop has been
short, and, owing to the fact that there
have been no oranges for shipment, most
of the cotton has gone abroad by way Of
the Ocean Steamship Company's steamers.
thus causing a failing off in the number of
tramp steamers visiting the port, and
decrease in. the amount of wages paid to
longshoremen. sim. at the close of the
year, it will be found. in all probability
that the value of the shipments was as
great as in any previous year.
Savannah has extraordinary advantages
advantages which have made her the
chief port of the South Atlantic, and which
are certain to cause her to increase in
wealth and population each succeeding
year. How great that increase viii be viii
depend largely upon her people. They have
her destiny in their hands. The city will
reflect their energy and enterprise

Not All One Way.

1T seems that not all of the Philadel-
phia manufacturers who met the silver
senators of the republican party the other
day in Washington favored the policy
outlined by those senators, namely free
silver coinage and protection. Some of
Them perhaps the majority, are opposed
to free silver coinage, and were amazed
when they saw in the newspaper re-
ports of the conference that all of the
manufacturers who attended the confer
ence We're in favor of free silver coinage.
AS seen from our dispatches yesterday.
some Of the manufacturers have had the
false impression created by the first re-
port corrected.
1t would be interesting to know who
gave out the false reports. 1t looks very
much as if the silver senators or some
one of them, did. 1t is not remarkable
that the silverites cannot keep close to
the facts? The only explanation is that
the silver craze units them for dealing
with facts. 1t would be unjust to them
to assert that they deliberately suppress
the facts whenever they think they can
gain an advantage for free silver coinage
by doing so.
The announcement that a large num-
Der of Philadelphia manufacturers had
declared themselves in favor of free sill
Yer coinage was calculated to do the
cause of sound money harm, and doubt
less would have done it harm if the truth
had not been made known promptly.
Now that the misrepresented manufac-
turers have spoken, the free silverites
will lose more than they would have
gained had their report of the conference
not been questioned, because it will be
argued that the cause of free silver coin
age is so weak that it has to be sup
ported by Misrepresentation.
The few silverites there are among the
Philadelphia manufacturers hope not only
to gain more protection by helping the
cause of silver, but they also think they
would be the gamers by free silver coin
age, because, while the prices of their
products would. in all probability, adj
vance. wages would remain about as they
are. The sound money sentiment in Penn
sylvania is too strong, however, to be
seriously lessened by anything the few
manufacturers in Philadelphia who be-
neve in free silver coinage may do or
say in behalf of the white metal

Father Hyacinthe, after his reuncia-
ton of Roman Catholicism, and his at
tachment to Professionalism, has finally
embraced the Copt religion. The Copt is
an Egyptian sect which in the fifth CEN
fury branched off from Catholicism. Its
members are followers of the Eutyches,
and accept the authority of the patriarch
of Alexandria.

Mr.. Crisp is exceedingly anxious that
there shah be a ballot for senator at the
June primary. He has written 10 the
county committee Of this county about il.
and we assume he has also written 10 the
county committee OF every other county.
Why is he so anxious for ballot at the
June primary? II a ballot is at all advfs-
able cannot he wait untii the regular cleo
ton in October?
We assume that he thinks his chances
are better in June than in October. And
why does he think so?
We cannot give his reason, but we can
give what we think is his reason. in the
first place all the populists are silverites.
Mr.. Crisp is a silverite. 1t will be an
easy matter for many populists to vote
At the June primary. if they feel disposed
10 do so, and if any Of them should vote
they would naturally vote for Mr.. Crisp.
In the second place the national demo-
cratic platform viii have been promul-
gated before the October election, and it is
quite certain that it viii be for sound
money. Mr. Crisp could not very well
run for the Senate on a free silver plat
form If the national democratic platform
was for sound money. To be a democrat
he would have to be in harmony with the
platform Of his party. Besides. if the
national democratic convention should de-
clare for sound money there would be
fewer democrats who would vote for a
free sllverite for senator than there would
If the ballot was taken before the meet
ing Of the national democratic convention
assuming, Of course. that the convention
will declare for sound money. If we are
right in these views it is quite apparent
why Mr. Crisp is anxious to have the sem
atOrship question settled at the June pri-
mary. But it will not be settled at that
primary. The county committees of the
different counties are not going to crafty
Mr.. Crisp by ordering a ballot taken at a
time and under circumstances that would
be conspicuously unfair to other candi-
dates. 1t must not be forgotten that no
body has asked for a ballot, except Mr..
Crisp, and that no ballot has been ordered
al any date. except by Fulton county. Mr..
Crisp not only wants a new method OF
naming the democratic senator adopted.
but he wants to fix the time when this
new method shall be tried.

A Bad Outlook.

With all its shortcomings there is no
gainsaying it that the republican party
is a powerful party, the rank and file Of
which in the northern states is very re-
spectacle and therefore very influential
In spite of its responsibility and influence.
however, the republican voters in the
north stand by quietly and permit the ma
tional convention of their party TO be con-
trolled by negro delegates from the south
ern states-delegates whose votes have
been bought in open market.
The question is not whether Gov. Nc
Kinley, Mr.. Reed or some other prominent
republican is best fitted for the high Of
fee Of President, but which one of them
