dressed letters to all members OF
the senate committee on military
affairs urging their support of a

The rame-plates on two steam FIRE en-
sines are 10 be taken of for the purpose Of
-remov5ng politics" entirely from the Sa-
vannah fire department Those dangerous
and offensive pieces OF brass bear the
names OF Francis 5. Barlow" and John
W lyman" TWO citizens OF Savannah
who. IN the flesh. were ranked among the
bravest and bcst. Il IS not 10 be sup
posed that the newly fiedged or lately
imported citizens should know anything
about the history OF the city. so it may
be wen TO give them information on the
subject under consideration. namely, the
FIRE engines. Their names and why they
were 50 named
The Barlow engine was formerly the
property Of the Metropolitan Fire Com
pany. which went out of service on the
disbandment CT the old volunteer fire
department. and the engine was sold to the
city. The Meropolitans. the name by
which the organization was known, was
made up of ex-cOnfederate soldiers. who
not only served their country in its time
Of need. but in the days of carpet-bag
and scaiawag rule in Georgia they did
service other than that of fremen. These
ex-confederate firemen named their hand
some machine after that gifted and la
mented statesman and soldier. who went
ito illustrate Georgia" and who kept his
word. Col Francis 5. Barlow.
If IL is the intention. as it appears to be,
of those who are now in control of the
affairs Of the city, to enace from the mem
DRY of the people all that goes to make
a city honored at home and abroad, 1t
will be well to carry out the programme
to its uttermost fnality. The other name
which it is proposed to obliterate for fear
of its bad political effect, is that of John
w. lyman. He was an ex-confederate
engineer, who served with distinction on
the ram Merrimac. After the war, by hard
work, he built up a machine shop in this
city. An honester man and a better me-
chanic never lived.
Possibly the reason these distinguished
Savannahians of the past are tabooed is
that their names are not known to the
political managers. who may not be aware
probably that they are dead. The next
thing the meek and humble citi-
zen will see. probably. will be the removal
of the names of Greene. Pulaski and Jas
per from their respective monuments.
The example set by these heroes of the
American revolution, if followed closely
would doubtless have a serious effect,
moral, political and social. on some of
those who manage our municipal politics
For the information of the new political
element we would also remark that Gen.
Greene, Count Pulaski and sergt. Jasper
are dead. and furthermore that Pulaski
was a Catholic, Jasper was an Irishman
and probably of that faith also.

Wilson Against Mckinley.
From the New York World Dem }.

The strictly logical candidate against
Mckinley on the tariff issue would be Will
liam L. Wilson. He shaped and passed
through the House a genuine democratic
tariff reform and revenue bill. If it had
been passed by the Senate, as ii left the
House it would have relieved the people
of burdensome taxes on their necessaries,
stimulated industry and commerce and
fulfilled democratic promises.

The Cuban Tobacco Crop.

1t is the common opinion of the cigar
manufacturers of Florida that there will
be a considerable shortage in the tobacco
crop on the Island of Cuba this year,
though not as serious a loss to the cigar
trade as some may fancy. In their opin-
ion the shortage in the tobacco production
Will not prove so disastrous as to make
any perceptible difference in the quality
or price of cigars in America. The reason
for this lies in the fact that the supply
already in hand is sufficient to furnish the
factories material to keep them operating
until the next crop is harvested. Cuba pro-
duces about 100000 bales of tobacco annu-
ally. OF this nearly third is known as
the Remedies tobacco, and it is in this
particular district where the ravages of
war have been most keenly felt by tobacco
planters. The Vuelta Abajo tobacco is the
finest grade produced and is much sought
after by the nabob smokers In the dis
trict where this tobacco is grown the soil
has all of the peculiar strength and fer
tility required to give that rich flavor
and delightful aroma which characterizes
the product. The land is said to have
once been covered by the sea and when
the waters receded became highly fertil-
lied by dead fish. The crop in this region
is said to have suffered less than that of
any other section of Cuba by the war.

From best accounts it is now estimated
that there will only be 100000 tons of SUI
gar available for export in Cuba, shrink
ing of $4,000 tons compared with last year
There is said to be already an apparent
shortage in the supply of sugar on the
American market. The rainy season will
soon set in on the island putting a stop to
grinding cane and the manufacture of su-
gar. There seems to be no incentive to cul-
tivate the fields. and all in all the pros
pect is far from bright for any improve
ment of things next year. as it seems clear
that the war will go on a good while yet.
All of these things seem to indicate that
the Louisiana sugar men will soon be in
clover even without the bounty.

A Fight to the Finish.

1t looks very much as if the war in Cuba
would be fight to the finish. Gen. Weyler
says Spain will not discuss the question of
reforms until the insurgents lay down
their arms, and it is quite certain that
the insurgents will not lay down their
arms on a promise of reforms. They do
not trust Spain, and they have good rea-
sons for not trusting her. She made
promises in the past which she failed to
keep, and there is no reason for thinking
she would keep any promises she might
make now.
If the insurgents should give up the
fight Spain would impose upon Cuba heav-
Ter burdens than those which caused her
people to revolt and her government of
Cuba has been extremely bad
Spain may say that she was preparing
to inaugurate reforms-in fact to grant
autonomy to Cuba--when the present war
broke out, but what was the measure
she proposed? 1t is true that it com
mitted the government of the island to
a local body, but it also provided that the
majority of that body should be Spaniards,
anu tilat 1HS captain general might at
will nullify anything the legislature did.
Self-government like that was little, if
any, better than the government the
island already has.
Spain is determined and the insurgents
have made up their minds to continue the
contest as long as they can marshal a
force to resist. That being the temper Of
each party it is evident that a cessat ton
of hostnities is not TO be looked for yet
awhile. The insurgents expect that the
rainy season will be powerful ally. and
the probabilities are they will not be dis
appointed. Before fall Spain may be less
arrogant-in fact, may be willing to grant
almost anything the insurgents may de-
mand except absolute independence.
