Better Outlook for Tybee.

1t is reported that the Tybee railroad
this year will receive freight during all the
business hours of the day, and take it by
the first train after its reception to it's
destination. If this report is correct there
will be a marked improvement this year
over last in the accommodation for pa
irons of the road and visitors to the is
land. The change will help the railroad
and encourage people to make improve
ments on the island.
There appears to be a little boom in Ty-
bees affairs. and whatever can be done to
help it should be done. The railroad can
be made the chief factor in assisting the
boom. The popularlzing of the island and
building it up mean keeping more people
at home during the summer, and that
means more money for all branches of bus
mess in Savannah
A new wharf would help the island
greatly 1t would encourage steamers to
river in the summer season is an extreme
ly pleasant way of spending an hour or
two in the daytime or in the evening.
The railroads will soon put on their su-
burban schedules for the summer. If they
make the schedules satisfactory they will
do much towards keeping the people at
home and making the stay-at-homes com
Portable.
The prospect is that there will be four
or five steamers engaged in the excursion
business and they will add much to the
comfort and pleasure of the people. AL
together, the outlook which our people
have for pleasure this summer is a prom
iSing one.

Col Thomas Ochiltree's recent illness has
provoked the retelling Of lot OF old sto-
ries conceived by various men, but attrib-
uted TO him, says the New York sun. The
late Police Justice Patrick Gavau Duffy
enjoyed much the same kind of nOtoriety,
ana with as little mental strain.
Just get your name up as a wit" JUS
ice Dufty frequently remarked, and the
newspaper men will do the rest"
Philadelphia Clover Club men, who had
reaQ many stories that were attributed to
Col. Ochiltree. have been inclined to doubt
their authenticity since they came over to
New York several years ago and gave a
sample dinner at the Waldorf just to show
the people of this city the sort of things
they said and did in Philadelphia to win
the reputation of being sad Wags- As every
one in Philadelphia knows, the Glover Club
IS admittedly a club for fun making of
the dangerous kind known as guying. The
members entertain Presidents when they
get the chance and when they do they
guy them. No guest at a Glover Club din
ner, however dignified he may be, is ex-
empt from guying- It furnishes amuse-
ment to the members, and usually it
doesn't irritate the guest. So when the
Glover Club decided to give New York
one OF these dinners. which are billed
ahead as laugh provokers it was nat
ural that, having read many Of Col. Ochil-
trees stories, they should select him as
one Of their guests. The Philadelphians
came to town but their merriest ways
seemed to lose vivacity in comparison with
the life they found around them. The tn
AutluC ItloIlS anu lTdlk continents On
each speakers appearance didn't lift the
gloom. The POSTMASTER called upon Col.
Ochiltree to uphold the reputation of New
York, and a man who sat beside him said
Ulat he would have made a creditable
speech If he hadn't been interrupted. Col
Ochiltree arose with promptness that in
dicated that he had his speech well in
hand and began:
Gentlemen, I am pleased"
what liar you are Tom, interrupt
ed a man at the other end Of the ROOM
Col. Ochiltree stopped short and looked
peevish.
Don't stop, Colonel" shouted another
man. we know that the truth is not in
you. Go ahead and tell whopper"
Col. Ochiltree's trembling hands were
the only outward indication of the indig-
nation that throbbed behind his broad ex-
panse of shirt front He said a few things
in a rambling way and sat down. Then he
expressed himself with force. To be ac-
cused of distorting the truth was bad
enough, but when that accusation came
from his hosts and they came from Phila-
delphia, il was rubbing it in.

a sIenincnnt occnrrence.

The full significance OF the action Of the
South Dakota republican convention.
which adjourned last Thursday, may not
be fully understood without a word Of ex-
PLANTATION. The convention adopted a
sound money platform. and Instructed the
South Dakota delegates 10 vote for a
sound money platform and TO support Nc
Kinley.
But why was this action so significant?
For this reason. The slIverite leaders
had been boasting that the republicans
Of South Dakota were overwhelmingly in
favor OF free silver coinage. Senator Car
ter had been asserting that the South Da-
kota delegates would be a portion Of the
sixty-eight delegates he would lead from
the west to st. Louis who would stand
out for free silver coinage under any and
all circumstances. Only a couple OF weeks
ago Senator Pettigrew, the republican
senator from South Dakota, returned TO
Washington from his state and told his
siiverite friends-he is a silverite of the
most rabid and unreasoning kind-that he
would lead a free silver delegation to ST.
Louis that would bolt the convention be-
fore It would agree to a sound money
platform or the nomination of a sound
money candidate. He made the hearts of
the silverites glad with his free silver coin
age talk.
He has had his comb cut. He isn't the
big silverite rooster that he was. He was
at the state convention last Thursday.
and plead with the convention to follow
his lead on the silver question. He was
practically told to shut up. He was in
formed that he could go to the st. Louis
convention as a delegate. provided he
would pledge himself to vote for a sound
money platform, and that he could go only
on that condition. And he gave the
pledge. He had his silver fallacies
damned down his throat. as it were, and
it is not likely that any more free silver
coinage nonsense will be heard from him.
He will 60 to st. Louis with a sound
money delegation and he will vote for
sound money platform The South Da-
kota people know how to deal with poll
ticians who. forgetting the welfare of the
masses, use their influence in the interest
of silver mine owners.

A friend of the Morning News at Jen-
nings, Fla, has been good enough to send
to this office a gold bug. 1t is said
that there are a good many gold bugs
in Florida, as well as in Wall street. The
specimen at hand. which belongs to the
family Chrysomelidae, is a beautiful crea-
ture, with body, wings, beak and legs
of the color of the precious yellow metal
varously shaded. The gold bug looks
perfectly harmless. and is indeed so re-
firing in its disposition that it will feign
death at the slightest disturbance. But
as innocent and harmless as it appears.
the gold bug is said to be the most
terrible creature on the face of the earth.
Any days issue of the silver organs win
be found to contain accounts of the raw
ages of the gold bugs which are said to
have actually destroyed millions of dol
lars in taxable values in the state of
Georgia. Senator Tillman of South Caro-
lima says the gold bugs are sucking the
life's blood from this country, and that
their depredations are even. undermining
the foundations OF the republic. These
charges must be true; for has not our
Florida friend demonstrated the existence
of gold bugs by sending us one?
