CHAPTER Iy--lContinuedo

And of all this that he had spoken
TO his neice, to Stanley Claremont the
Baronet had uttered not a word; and
so that gentleman was supposed g
know nothing Of his uncle's anxieties
and intentions, and to be perfectly
ignorant of the destination which Sir
Loghlen had marked out for his for
tune.
But it was not, as we have already
seen, at all with Stanley as both Sir
Loghlen and his Niece believed; for
rendered quick-sighted and preserving
by his interests, that gentleman had
penetrated almost to the very depths
of mystery which had dishonored
the Baronet's past life.
And now, Joseph Frampton dead,
che name which the Baronet so anX-
fously desired to learn was known
only to Stanley himself. But that
name, this schemer feared, would
sooner or later come to
Sir Loghl ems knowledge, and then the
blow which would bring ruin to Clare
mont would fall the heavier for having
been so long delayed.

REMARKABLE FAST TIME.
Pennsylvania to the Pacific Coast in
los Hours.

The officials of the Great Northern passen-
ger department yesterday, say the st. Paul
papers of April %, received word of the ar
rival at their destination of the miners who
passed through St. Paul on their way West
a few days ago. These ffty-seven miners
left Shamokin, Pa, last Saturday night
G:55 p. m, and reached Chicago last Sun
day at o'clock. From Chicago they came
here over the Northwestern, arriving in this
city Monday just after noon. The same
afternoon they left on the Great Northern
overland flyer at 3 p. M, and reached Port
land yesterday morning in time for break
fast. The entire trip from interior Pennsyl-
vania of the deck of Pacific coast steamer
which the miners took at Portland for their
destination Coos Bay, consumed exactly
four and half days, which is considered
by railroad men remarkably fast time. The
quick journey recalls that which was so
favorably commented upon at the time,
viz, the special Palmer theater train from
New York to San Francisco, which made
the cross-country run in something less than
five days.

is more olive planting in California

The silver senators are beginning 10
throw of their disguise and say exactly
what their purpose IS in demanding free
and unlimited coinage Of silver. a New
York dispatch 10 the Washington Post
says that Senator Jones OF Nevada talk
ed freely in that city OF the plans Of the
silver men for the future. Among other
things he said there would be no legisla-
ton on the tariff for the next ten years
unless free coinage TO silver were granted.
He declared he was a protectionist. but
that there SHOULD be no more protection
than there is at present unless protection
were granted 10 silver. In his opinion
Colorado silver has as much right 10 be
protected as Pennsylvania coal.
The foregoing is the utterance Of one
Of the most prominent of the silver sena-
tors. II shows that the talk about want
ing free silver coinage because it would
greaily benefit the people, and would
make the country prosperous. is rot Of the
worst sort. Here is an admission from a
silverite. whose prominence is so great
that he IS regarded as an authority in re-
oAftNA 10 AAtE pans anu RAA AiN1N1 "a tAAN
silverites. who openly declares that what
is demanded is protection for silver. The
free silver coinage movement is an agi-
taton in the interest of the silver mine
owners. II they can get the privilege OF
having fifty cents worth OF silver coined
into a silver dollar they could greatly in
crease their profits, even though the pur-
chasing power Of the silver dollar should
be reduced one half. because they wouldn't
pay their workmen any higher wages
than they do now, and they would pay
them in silver dollars. In other words. they
would get their silver mined for just
about half what it now costs them to
mine it.
What nice scheme is this which the
silver mine owners have for enriching
themselves! They would practically tax
the wage earners of the whole country
in order TO increase their own fortunes.
And. strange as ii may seem. there are
influential men and newspapers in all
parts of the country that are doing their
utmost to help them.
The silver senators have announced
their purpose to prevent any and all leg
islation that is intended to promote pros
perity-such as legislation for the reform
OF the currency-untn they can have their
demands in respect to silver granted.
They think they have the country by the
throat, as it were. and threaten
TO squeeze the life out Of it to compel COM
pIiance with their demands. Their threat
is like the threat of the highwayman. If
the people don't teach them lesson this
fall we are greatly mistaken.

The board of Trade Report.

The annual report OF the president Of the
board Of trade. a full synopsis OF which
was published in the Morning News yes
terday. shows that Savannah has very
little 10 complain Of. Her business is as
good as il could reasonably be expectedto
De under existing conditions. and is fully
as good as that OF any other city Of her
class in the country.
Reference is made TO two matters in the
report 10 which we desire TO direct special
attention. one is the disposition that is
being shown 10 greatly increase the cot
ton acreage this year. The world wants
only a certain amount Of cotton. and IL
more is produced than is needed there is
certain 10 be a decline in the price Of It.
The crop OF the year now drawing 10 a
close is much smaller than that Of the
previous year. and consequently the price
OF cotton has been fairly good. At one
time during the season IL was above
cents a pound. and it is probable that ii
would be fully cents now If it were not
for the prospect Of a very large crop next
year. Those planters who diversity their
depend upon cotton as a surplus crop-are
certain to be more prosperous than those
who give their whole attention to cotton.
The truth OF this statement is abundantly
shown by experience
The other thing to which we desire to
draw attention is that no city in the
country has better transportation facil-
titles than Savannah. She is connected
with the whole world by rail and water
lines. She is, therefore. an excellent dis
tributing point, and if she fails to steadily
increase her trade it will be because her
business men do not make the most of
their opportunities and advantages. There
should be a great increase in the shipment
of lumber from this point. and also of
phosphate. There is no good reason. as
far as we can see. why a very considera-
bic part Of the grain of the west that is
exported should not be handled on Savan-
nah wharves. Our grocery business is
large. but with our advantages, it should
be larger.
What we need here in Savannah is a
stronger local feeling from a business
standpoint The people should work to-
gether at all times and under all circum-
stances for the advancement of Savan-
nah's interests. When all our citizens
talk and work for Savannah. the growth
Of the city in wealth and population will
be much greater than it is

Theater Hat. in Politics.

When Henry Irving and Ellen Terry
were in Columbus o., not long ago. Rep
resentative Fosdick of the legislature went
to the theater to see them play. But he
didn't see them. He gave up So for two
seats, and went in and gazed upon vista
of feathers and flowers and fruits adorn-
ing the heads of the women in front of
him. In vain did he endeavor to catch
more than momentary glimpses of the
moving scenes that were transpiring upon
the stage. The millinery hanging garden
was impenetrable. Fosdick was mad. He
swore that if he survived, as soon as he
got back into the legislative halls he
would offer a bill to prohibit the wearing
Of big hats in places of public amusement.
And he was as good as his word. The bill
has been introduced, and If some members
OF the Legislature had not been playing
hockey on last Friday it might have be-
come a law on that day.
Fosdick is republican. He represents
a district that has a theater in it, But
there are lots of other representatives in
the legislature whose districts are with
out theaters. Many of them are republic
can districts. Fosdicks bill does not ex-
cept circuses or camp-meetings Some Of
the democrats, under the leadership of
Representative Moore, have declared that
they will make party issue of the theater
hat bill if it goes the least bit further.
They mean to take the stump on the is
sue, and point out to the women of the
theaterless districts that Fosdick's idea
made into law would force every one of
them to attend the circus and camp-meet-
ing without hats. Moore is sure that he
could carry half dozen or more seats
in the Legislature for the democrats on
the issue. Therefore the republican lead
ers are somewhat worried 1t is alleged
! that Gov. Bushnell has appealed to Fos-
dick to forgive the Columbus women just
this once for spelling his evening at the
theater. 1t may be that the governor will
succeed with the young man. Meanwhile
there appears TO be considerable feeling
with regard to the matter.

senntor Proctor.. smiIe.

Senator Proctor of Vermont is the most
solemn looking man in the United States
Senate, and yet he has dry wit and keen
sense of humor, says the New York Sun.
When he smiles he smiles all over, but
look so solemn that 1t would brighten chill
dren. A colleague, in explaining this pc
culiarity in the Vermont senator the other
day, said il was due largely to the fact
that he derived his wealth indirectly from
the manufacture of gravestones, as he was
the head of a great marble quarry corpor-
alton This being a very solemn business,
IL was incumbent upon Senator Proctor
to look sad and serious, but the source
of his geat wealth being the con-
sumption Of gravestones, 1t was almost
impossible for him not to smile whenever
anyone died who would need a monument.
The senator's smile, therefore. was like
that OF the MISUNDERSTANDING preceded
by a look Of great solemnity.
