Mr.. wiIIiamson's Committee.

The business men of the city cannot
otherwise than heartily approve the action
of President Williamson of the Cotton
Exchange in appointing a committee OF
cotton factors to find out why it is tina.
so much cotton that should have come 10
Savannah this season has gone to Nor
fork, Port Royal, Charleston and Bruins
wick. The ship agents say that the rail-
roads leading to those ports have made
concessions of some sort to the ship agents
of those ports. The railroad authorities
here say that the ship agents of this port
have kept their freight rates so high that
cotton could not be shipped as advantage
ously from here as from other South At
lantic ports. What are the facts? The
people of Savannah want to know them.
They want the blame for the loss of the
cotton placed where it belongs, and we
have no doubt the committee will get at
the bottom of the trouble.
There is no good reason why Norfolk,
Charleston or Port Royal should get cot
ton from Savannah's territory, and we
are glad that steps have been taken at
last to find out why it goes to those ports
in preference to coming here. If the snip
brokers are to blame the trouble will soon
be remedied. A shipping agency is to be
established here soon, pledged to put Sa-
vannah on a footing with other ports in
the matter of freight rates. If our rail-
roads are at fault they will be called to
account at once. They cannot afford to
let cotton be diverted from the port in
which they are chiefly interested, and Il
they could Savannah is not going to per-
init it to be diverted if there is power
anywhere to keep it in its natural chan
mel. The business men are aroused about
this matter. and unless we mistake their
purpose they do not intend to cease their
efforts until Savannah gets what belongs
to her

MIR. Hanna Is Modest.

During the campaign it was said many
times that if Mr.. Mckinley were elected
Mr.. Hanna would have his pick of the cab
There was ground for saying that he could
have what he wanted, because Mr.. Hanna
conducted Mr.. McKlnleys campaign for
the nomination, and it was well understood
that if the republicans won, Mr.. McKin-
ley would virtually owe his election to him.
1t seems, however. that Mr.. Hanna was
not seeking place for himself. In a little
speech at the Union club in Cleveland on
Wednesday night at a dinner given him
by few friends. Mr.. Hanna announced
that no official place could tempt him
to give up his home in Cleveland, and his
daily association with the friends with
whom his life has been spent.
His announcement was somewhat of a
surprise. 1t was supposed that Mr.. Hanna
was ambitious to occupy distinguished
place in public life. That he has no am
bition in that direction is disappointing to
those who have been asserting that he
was working for himself as we'll as Mr..
McKinley-that he was using Mr.. McKin-
ley to bring himself before the public.
1t is admitted by political opponents as
we'll as by political friends that he has dis
played superb ability as a political mana
ger He has said very little, preferring to
keep his own counsel So much confidence
was felt in him, however, that his orders
were obeyed without question, even by the
great party leaders. Undoubtedly he had
ample means with which to carry out his
plans. but it required great ability to make
plans that commanded confidence and to
execute them successfully in a campaign
of such magnitude. He may be 1.-The power
behind the throne" in Mr.. McKinley's ad-
ministration, but he win not be visible

Our Quarantine,

Dissatisfaction with our quarantine
keeps cropping out all the time. The cap
| tains Of vessels which come here complain
Of it and our merchants find fault with it.
It is said that ship owners, on account of
it, are inclined to demand higher rates for
vessels for this port.
We are not prepared to say there is any
thing radically wrong with our quaran-
tine because our sanitary board is sup
posed to be doing all it can for the inter-
est of the port.
We have heard it said recently by. an
exporter that our quarantine regulations
are driving business away from US. 1t is
not unusual 70 hear the charge made that
the quarantine regulations at other South
Atlantic ports are much more liberal than
ours.
While we know that the sanitary board
has taken up and investigated, more than
once, the charges against the quarantine
It seems to us that for the good of the
port 1t should give the matter attention
again. May it not be that while the regu-
lations here are just what they are at
other South Atlantic ports they are en-
forced more rigidly here than elsewhere?
May it not be also that there are some
defects in the details of the management
of our quarantine that produce irritation?
We ask these questions because 1t does
seem as If there would not be so much
complaint if there was not cause for it.
If there is fault it should be located as
quickly as possible. We cannot afford to
have our commerce suffer from anything
that can be remedied.
We were sure that when We obtained
deep water to the sea our commerce would
show a very steady and gratifying growth.
Thus far this year. however, our expecta-
tons, owing to causes not connected with
our quarantine, have not been realized. 1t
depends upon ourselves whether our COM
merce increases or not. We have the ter
rtory from which to draw business and
we have splendid facilities-railroads and
plenty of water to the sea-for handling
expeditiously and cheaply all the business
that can possibly be obtained. The fault
is our own if we fail to make the most
of our opportunities.
1t seems to US that the sanitary board
should make a thorough inspection Of our
quarantine and give to the public state
ment of it's conclusions. If it is
stricter than that of any other
South Atlantic port let us know why it is
So and if there is mismanagement and
vessels are subjected to unnecessary bur-
dens let steps be taken once to remedy
the faults. The continual complaints are
certain to do the port harm. Put a stop
to them if possible.
