ALL TRADES PICKING UP.
business Men Confident of Better
Times From Now ON.

The merchants Of Savannah generally
are we'll satisfied with the local trade con-
ditions and appear sanguine of the con-
tinuance of a good business.
The effects of the big storm of Sept. 20
still play an important part in the in
crease of trade above what is commonly
accepted as a good standard for the fall,
as matters have stood for the past four
years. The trades of carpenter, timer,
roofer and brick mason have reaped the
greatest gains from the repairs and the
purchases of these working people since
the storm have far exceeded what they
are accustomed to make.
But many merchants claim that re-
Yival of business has been evident as an
immediate result of the national cleo
ton. The restoration of confidence in the
east, the section most unreservedly in
favor of the yellow metals preferment,
has been reflected into other parts of the
country, and the effect upon business has
peen that the people are more ready to
spend money
In the south, where the majority of
votes were cast for Bryan, it would ap-
pear that the success of the other party
would have depressing effect, but such
does not seem to have been the case Bust
ness many claim, has been undoubtedly
enlivened since the election, and. in view
of the silver majority here, 1t is regarded
as an evidence of the great importance
the east holds in its position toward the
rest of the country.

BOTH SIDES CLAIM 1T.
Asphalt and Brick Now to Lay Siege
TO the Council.

The meeting of city council tonight to
decide upon the material for paving South
Broad street will be an interesting one.
very lively campaign has been waged
for the last several days by the agents
and representatives of the paving compa
mics contending for the contract. The two
brick companies, the Tennessee Paving
Brick Company of Chattanooga and the
Virginia Paving Brick Company of Lynch
burg have pooled their issues temporarily,
and their agents are working together in
opposition to the Warren-Scharf Asphalt
Company their main competitor.
Some very effective work has been done
by the brick men in the way of securing
signatures to their petition, and letters in
dorsing brick as paving ma
terial from prominent property own
ers and residents of South Broad
street, who had formerly signed
the petition for asphalt. The brick PEG.
pie claim that they have the fight whip
ped and that IL is only a question as 10
which company will get the control. Both
companies have made attractive PROPOSE
tons to council, including the mainten-
ance of the pavement for long term OF
years at a very low rate. Some amend
ments may be made to the propositions
tonight to further increase their attrac-
tiveness.
On the other hand, Mr.. A. L. Alexander.
the local representative of the Warren
/ Scharf Company, claims that the council
is certain to adopt asphalt The price at
which his company has offered to do the
work is lower than any contract 1t mas
previously made in Savannah, and in ad
dition it has made a proposition to under
take the maintenance of all the asphalt
| pavements in the city for a term
/ of years at one-half the rate at present
charged for repair work. The proposition
is generally considered by the aldermen
| to be a very desirable one.
Among the attorneys who will be or
hand at the meeting, are Capt. II. c.
/ Cunningham, representing the petitioners
I for asphalt, Mr. A. l.. Alexander, repre-
sentlng the Warren-Scharf Company
Judge A. II. MacDonell, representing tn,
| Virginia Paving Brick Company, Mr.. A
A. Lawrence, representing the Tennessee,
Paving Brick Company, and Mr.. jacob
Gazan, representing the Hastings PAVING
| Company of New York. If the council
undertakes TO hear from them all, It will
be In for a lengthy session.

away from a negro who wanted him to
drink with him. He went through South
Broad street lane and saw two men COM
ing through the lane from Crums. He
heard the tall man say to the snort one
Have you got one of those things?" The
short man replied, mo-" and the
tall man said, then take mine" He
stopped and let the two men pass him,
and recognized Sullivan and O'Neil.
When the men got to the corner of the
lane they turned Immediately up to Reid
drug store and stopped. A minute or two
later Brooks and his friends came along
and the shooting followed.
This testimony was important, as II was

would appear that the two men had gone
to the corner for the purpose of heading
off Brooks.
There were other witnesses, but their
testimony did not add anything material
to the case.
It was after midnight when the jury
began it's deliberations, which required
two hours and half to reach conclusion.

Harrison.
The prisoners had already been turned
over to the jail on the charge of murder

the case yesterday morning. The
recorder declared that it
was an outrageous case and that ONein
was equally guilty with Sullivan.
There was some talk about the record
er's investigation before the coroner's in
quest was held, and if the question of
bond for the accused is brought up there
may be a neat point as to which charge
the prisoners are held under, murder or
manslaughter.
F. NJ. Oliver, Esq, was present at the
inquest as attorney for the prisoners.

The women of Ohio, five thousand
strong, rendered n reception to the
Mrs. McKinleys,, wife and mother of
the nominee. No men were present
except the Major and press represen-
tatives. The address of welcome to
the distinguished women was nom
political, but it was warm and feeling
and in admirable taste and showed
how deep a hold their quiet, unosten-
tatious, helpful lives had taken on
the hearts of their fellow country
men. 1t was a beautiful tribute to
the perfect home lives of those who
in so great measure have aided Nc
Kinley to become the man he is.

The Populist conventions into which
the colored brother has been so well
coined have discovered the predelic-
ton for pie that dwells in that dusky
subject, and the lines are sharply
drawn. The Populist wants all the
pie there is in sight and wants more
in sight. The colored brother is after
his own pie and is not cutting the pas
try unless he can have a tooth in.
There is therefore a natural and ne
cessary disagreement when the ques-
ton of pie distribution is under dis
cussion. At La Grange last week it
led to a fat footed refusal of the COL
ored voters to sustain the nominees of
the Populists unless there was a divi-
sion of the spoils. This was refused
and the separation was at once made
and decree of divorce from bed and
board made.

down. The greatest possible good to
the greatest number of American cit
liens, he thinks, is the real end of gov

pledges himself, so far as it is in his
power to bring it about 1t is a letter
that has the true American ring in it,

who is not pledged by party prejudices
to adversely criticise. That letter,
brief as it is, fills the bill and plainly
points out the way of returning pros
perity. 1t is manly, straight forward,

interests of the masses and is just like

THE GREAT PROBLEM.

Senator Teller will find that it is not
a free silver candidate that Chicago is
looking for, so much as an issue that
will restore the Democracy to that
| power and confidence of the people
| that has been so abused during the
past three years. No man outside the
pale of the Democratic party will be
welcomed as the deliyerer of the great
army of fugitives, fleeing from the up
rising of the Industrial hosts of the ma
ton, who, betrayed into the hands of
foreign producers, are wearing out
their bones for bread at low wages, or
wearing out their brains in a vain en-
deavOr to secure bread where no regu-
lar work is to be obtained. Teller is
not presidential possibility, and
should the unexpected happen and
Chicago accept him in the hope of
sweeping the silver states into the
Democratic fold it will not aid him in
his plans. Such an act would destroy
party lines to an extent heretofore I'M
known, and dissolving the Democratic
power of party cohesion insure the car
rying of nearly every sound money
state north and south by the Republic
an party in November. The only GER
tainty at Chicago is that of a desper-
ate duel between the free silver and
the sound money wings of the party
and a split that will insure the cleo
ton of Major Mckinley in November.
Beyond this there is nothing certain.
Whitney may or may not believe all
that he predicts of evil to the country
as the result of the triumph of the free
silver hosts in the National Demo-
cratic convention, but it is certain
that upon that belief he will act. and
tens of thousands of the voters of the
party in the eastern states acting with
the nomination that will be made at
Chicago and vote with the Republic
ans this year. This will give Mary
land, Delaware, West Virginia, Ten
nessee, and possibly Kentucky and
Virginia into the Republican column
and insure the majority of the votes
of the electoral college without ques-
ton. 1t is the fear that in the triumph
of the st. Louis ticket the single gold
standard will be fastened upon this
country that the great danger lies.
Could the sound money voters and the
more moderate silver advocates be
certain of the incoming of the double
standard through international agree
ment, within reasonable period,
there would be little left of the silver
mOnometalism idea. 1t is not that
which is so contended for but it is a
of silver on the same
level with gold as the money standard
of the country. This is what the great
masses of the people desire, and with
out il there will he great unrest

The failure of the Fort Worth Ga
zette is striking illustration of what
blatant free silverism and free trade
ism will bring upon business, even
private business. What it will bring
upon public business, state and nation
al, will be every whit as disastrous.

at a premium in the United States, but
it is not free silverism, or free trade
