The announcemnt o. the death Of Gen.
Al r. Lawton yesterday did not cause
surprise IN this community. but IL was re-
ce.ved with profound sorrow. To all his
friends and acqualntances. and they IN
clu1ed almost everybody IN tbs city. Il
was known when he left for the north last
May. In search OF a more bracing eli
mate. that his health was falling. and
that al his advanced age there was very
little reason FOR hoping that he would
become well and strong again.
Gen. Lawton was a notable figure IN
the public and social life OF Savannah.
HIS fame was not confined 20 this city.
Il extended beyond the bounds OF the
state His name was known in every
part az the country. and It was an hon
ored one wherever known, but Il was IN
this city that he was known best. Il was
here that he lived the greater part Of his
life. here that he won the high place he
held in The legal profession. from here
that he went forth 20 do well his part as
a distinguished soldier Of the confederacy
and from here that he responded TO the
call 10 represent his country at one OF the
proudest and most ceremonious courts
OF Europe lie took pride in the fact that
his home was IN Savannah. and he appre-
ciated fully the love and respect which
her people had for him.
Gen. Lawton was a southerner Of the
old school. kind. generous. brave and hos
pitable. lie had high standards in all
things and he strove 20 reach them in
every public and private relation Of life.
II was natural to him TO speak words OF
announcement to those who were strug-
Cling against adverse circumstances or
10 lend a helping hand to those who
needed aid
Gen. Lawton had much success in life,
hut there is reason for thinking that he
regarded his long connection with the

more satisfaction than any other part Of

-Four Reasons Why
PAGES DISINFECTANT
Should Be Used.

First. 1t insures publication from in
fictitious matter; the destruction of con-
tagium or germs of infectious diseases:
instantly arrests decomposition of ami
NAL and vegetable refuse, neutralizing
the foul and unwholesome odors arising
therefrom and purifying an infected at
mosphere.
Second. 1t is ODORLESS.
Third. It is clear (the color of water).
and may be used upon the most delicate
fabric without stain or injury.
Fourth. Its cheapness makes possible
its free and unstinted use wherever an
energetic disinfectant is required.
Notebooks, almshouses. stables.
breweries, factories, and the like will find
this disinfectant invaluable. I will ship,
70 any responsible person, barrel of dis
lnfectant on approval. If, upon trial, It
is not found perfectly satisfactory, the
unused portion may be returned, and no
charge will be made for the quantity con-
sumed in testing its merits

A Friendly Feeling.

mo, subj" said Col. Carter to the man
with small, angry-looking spots on his
forehead, according to the Washington
Star, Il shall not puhmit you to abuse
the mosquito in my presence. 1 used to
dislike them, but now l am one of the
stanchest friends that mosquito has
Still, they annoy one" replied the man
with the spots.
"Of cohse. But they must live. Why
complain because the mosquito stays UP
all night and has his collations, his songs
and hts aftuh-dinner speeches?"
You seem to feel very kindly toward
the brute
Il have reason to. Let me tell you,
sub, that a mosquito once saved the life
of a friend of mine. My friend told me
the story himself. We were speaking of
large mosquitoes, and he said that he
once found himself in a prohibition
town, where the mosquitoes were larger
than any he had ever seen. The party he
was with had a bottle but no corkscrew.
and they would have persisted with thirst
If they had not taken one of these mos
quitoes, extracted his bill and used IL 70
get the cork out. That mosquito was a
martyr, sub, and ever since that time,
sub. have respected him and all his re-
lations."

MIR. Whitney,s Mission.

The silver men say that all they want
is plain declaration for silver at 16 to ].
The majority of the delegates chosen to
the Chicago convention favor that declar-
ation-a large majority. WIN Mr.. Whit
ney succeed in influencing any consider
able number OF that majority to be salts
fed with a much less radical declaration?
We do not thing he will.
We might as well look at the situation
exactly as 1t is. There have been demo-
cratic conventions in which the wishes of
New York and the New England states
have been given consideration but they
will be shown none in the Chicago con-
ventlon. The leaders of the silverites be-
lieve that the ticket that will be named
at Chicago can be elected without the help
Of New York and New England. Some Of
them are so much in earnest in behalf of
free silver coinage that they would insist
upon a declaration for silver
at l6 to l, even If they
thought the party wouldn't have
a ghost Of a chance for winning with such
a declaration, and others are so confident
that the party can win on a IS to l silver
platform that no amount of argument
could convince them to the contrary. This
being the situation, we cannot see that
Mr.. Whitney has any chance whatever Of
even getting a patient hearing at Chi
cago.
The sta tapeut attrirv+a5 - CO.. Ay.--.,a
that Mr.. Whitney purposes to buy enough
delegates to defeat 16 to 1 silver declara-
ton IS not worthy of moments consid-
Grafton. 1t is an insult to the silver ma
jority. 1t indicates. however, the sort of
a man Gov. Altgeld is. In his opinion
money is all powerful and any man can be
bought.
1t is certainly safe to assert that Mr..
Whitney never contemplated using a dol
lar improperly at Chicago. He has too
much respect for those who compose the
convention to even think of such a thing.
He is so confident of the justice of the
cause he represents that he hopes to
reach by reason delegates W. may not
ne 4eauS " AlSA INC ulsIuptlon OF the
democratic party or who may not be
wholly satisfied that silver monometall-
ism would be a good thing for the coun-
try.
Most of those who make up the silver
majority of the convention, however, can
not be reasoned with. They have made IN
their minds and they are going to COM
NIT the democratic party to silver. That
is why we think Mr.. Whitney's mission
will be a failure

Four men sitting in front of the occl-
dental hotel, in Broome street, were ap-
preached by a stranger, says the New

Gents, said the stranger, I've just
found five right here on the sidewalk.
Has any one of you lost a hve?"
Yes" responded one of the party; "Im

In an interview. published in wednes-
days New York World. aIr Richard P.
Bland. who. according 20 Senator Tell
er's belief. VIII be nominated for Presi-
dent az Chicago. IS quoted in answer TO
question as 20 what the effect OF free
silver coinage by this country alone
would be. as saying.
The fact that We viii coin all the
silver brought 20 our mints, without Inn
u and without regard 10 the market
value % The metal, VII immediafely Tx
the price Of an silver bullion In China or
Australia. as well as in London or Sew
York"
We nave no doubt that Mr. Bland be-
Heves what be says IN the foregoing para
graph. but IS he not mistaken? Mexico
is a great silver producing and silver
using country. and she has free silver
coinage at the ratio Of is 70 /. Why is
1t that the fact that she coins all the
silver brought 20 her mints a. the ratio
silver 10 rise in all the world until its
commercial ratio equals its coinage
ratio? And Mexico is not the only coun-
try that has free silver coinage. China
and Japan have it, and stm the price
OF silver does not rise.
Mr.. Bland says that 80 long as the
minis Of France we're open to the unlim-
tied coinage OF silver and gold at the
ratio OF 15ls to ! that was the lowest
selling price Of silver in the markets Of
the world. But when France stopped
coming silver, that is to say demonetized
It. the relative value dropped"
But why did France stop coming sill
ver2 Mr. Bland fails to answer that ques-
ton. Did not France stop because she
was no longer able 10 keep silver money
on parity with gold money at the ra-
ito at which she was coming the two
metals? Mr.. Bland would have the people
believe that France could have contin-
ued indefinitely TO coin all the silver that
reached her minis at the ratio OF 151k 10
]. He knows. however, that such was
not the case-that she was forced to close
her mints to silver because she was get
ting more silver than she could keep on
a parity with gold. 1t should not be for
gotten that the price Of silver at that
time was nearly double what It is now.
II Mr.. Bland looks at the facts can
didly ne will be forced to admit that we
have now about all the silver currency
that the country can maintain on a par
ity with gold, and that the consequence
OF adding any large amount to 1t would
be silver monometallsm. il is strange
that so intelligent man as Mr.. Bland
fails to see that there is a limit to the
amount of fiat money which this or any
other country can keep on a parity with
gold. His contention that all that Is
necessary TO practically double the com
mercial value Of silver is to open our
minis to free coinage Of that metal is
only a belief that has little or nothing to
sustain Il.
1t does not seem to us that Mr. Bland
Gov. Boies and other silverites are deal
ing fairly with the people. If the belief
they entertain is correct they ought to
be able to show from experiments in the
past, and the history of coinage Is fun
OF such experiments. that they have am
pie reasons for their belief

Senator Tom Carter, it is understood,
will have some talk with the democratic
silver leaders at Chicago. Senator Stew
art of Nevada is in Chicago, as are also
Senator Dubois of Idaho, Senator Petit
grew of South Dakota and Congressman
shafroth of Colorado. Their purpose, of
course, is to influence the action of the
democratic national convention in favor
of silver. It seems that the party has
come to rather a sorry condition, when re-
publican and populist bosses are hanging
around its convention for the purpose of
telling its delegates how to vote on pub

1t is rare thing that the shade trees
of this city are attacked by caterpillars.
Still they are not proof against the pests.
and the tree commissioners will be ex-
pected to keep a sharp look out for them.
In Philadelphia and Washington the trees
have been attacked by caterpinars. In
the former city vigorous warfare is be-
ing waged against them. BROOKLYN has
a society whose speciality is destroying
bugs and worms that deface or kill trees
The whole city of Savannah, by tacit
agreement, should form itself into an anti
tree-pest society, to take immediate and
vigorous action against caterpilIars or
other pests of the kind the moment they
make their appearance. The citys beau
tiful trees are her pride. and should have
jealous care.

The Doll Queen.
FROM the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post.
The little rag doll is queen.
Her realm is a maiden's heart.
And there she will reign serene,
And play the important part.
A bundle of rags is she,
With collar Of scraggy fur;
She's only a doll to me,
But more than a doll to her.
A doll that I thought a prize
! gave TO the little maid,
That opened and shut its eyes,
And beauty of face displayed:
But somehow il seemed to me
She never received the care
/ daily and hourly see
Bestowed on a doll less fair.
The doll that can really talk,
The doll in the silken dress.
The doll that is made to walk,
Lies lonely In some recess;
Forgotten and pushed aside,
1t lies in the dust apart,
While that of rags, in pride
Is held TO the maiden's heart.
The doll is a doll TO me,
A bundle of rags and fur.
And yet I am quick to see
It's more than a doll to her;
And so maintains it's place,
Unrivalled ii holds its own;
In rags and a painted face
1t stands in her heart alone.
