The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-06-26

One of the inconsistent details of our
end-of-the-century civilization is the fact
that the presumption is held to be against
the woman who is seen upon the street
alone after nightfall. There are certain
exceptions within narrow bounds, but that
is the general rule. So rigidly is it ad-
hered to in certain communities that po-
lice officers are under standing orders to
arrest women found without escorts on
the street at night. Society upholds the
order. Society is scandalzed, Mortified, at
the bare suggestion of womankind abroad
after nightfall, except it be in groups or
under the sheltering care of man. An
illustration has just been presented in
New York, where the police have arrested
several respectable women for the very
heinous offense of being on the street
after the shades of night had fallen.
AS a result Of the enforcement of this
iron-elad social order against the sex,
practically one-half of the human family
is deprived of a fun measure of liberty.
The women are enthralled by a custom
which discounts both blue-laws and cur
few laws. The latter usually permit free
dom until certain hour at night, generally
about o'clock. In obedience to that
other, no-named law, women, if alone,
must get indoors long before that hour.
1t is sometimes necessary for stenog-
raphers, clerks, accountants, and holders
of similar positions which are open to wo-
men as well as men, to work after
hours" or Of evenings The women who
work usually do so for the reason that
they are dependent upon their own exer-
lions. But If they are required to work
late enough to put them on the street
after nightfall lacking the services of
an escort they must give up their
means of earning a living, or subject
themselves to arrest as suspicious charac-
ters. Women who are lacking escorts
must. for the same reason, forego the
pleasure of going to theaters and other
places of entertainment; they are women,
and the customs Of the times do not per-
init Of women exercising their own judg-
ment. Society and the police insist upon
exercising paternal care over them, and
IL they are so inconsiderate as TO 80
counter to the rules prescribed, they are
made TO feel the results OF the parental
displeasure. II may be that there Is a
need for this regulation. If there is we
have not as a civilized people, advanced
TO any such proud eminence as we are
won't to felicitate ourselves upon having
achieved.

Almost a Scandal.

Many years ago, when Lucius Fairchild
was governor of Wisconsin, there came
near being a scandal of big proportion, one
that would have smirched the admins
tration very badly, says the Chicago Times
Herald. But the gallant governor caught
sight of the sprouting bush of bad prom
Use and nipped it in the bud.
The superintendent of public property
was Maj. NJ NJ. Meredith, who had served
for time in the regiment with Fairchild,
been badly wounded and transferred to
the commissary department
Meredith had some fine stock on his
farm near Madison.
One morning in March, when the streets
and steps were covered with ice, Gov.
Fairchild was informed by wise COM
mittee room attendant, a capitol police
man or some other official who felt that
he was the keeper of the chief executive 5
good name, that there was something
wrong going on.
What is it? Out with it," broke in the
handsome young governor
Come with me and you can see for your
self"
Then these two officials walked to the
east front of the capitol building.
do you see those boxes, governor"
pointing to half a dozen packages at the
foot of the steps.
'Of course 1 see them. What of them?"
Coming closer to the governor. the
sleuth, in an underbreath after the fashion
of the keen detective, said
Governor, there is salt in all Of those
boxes"
Anything else?"
Eyes, sir. There's a scandal in each
box"
Come to the point Explain"
you know Maj Meredith has some
blooded stock on his farm, don't you?"
Yes; but what of that?"
Don't you know that cattle like salt?'
do you mean that Maj Meredith has
been buying salt for his heifers with state
money!"
That's what mean governor"
well, well. we will see about this"
An hour later Maj Meredith was
brought face to face with Gov. Fairchild.
81 have sent for you. major, to talk
about that salt. You must know that we
can't afford scandal, and that we shall
have one if you send that salt to your
farm
Meredith was dumfounded. He grew
white and red by turns. Then he laughed.
ut is no laughing matter" said the gov
ernor.
THAT is just what it is. Come and see
for yourself"
They went out and saw the capitol force
scattering salt on the icy steps and walks.
Then they both laughed. Wisconsin
dignified one-armed governor begged Mer-
ediths pardon, and said few words about
that Internal idiot"

Some Chicago burglars have discovered
a unique way OF avoiding the police. While
they were gathering together their
plumber in a plumbing shop the other
night they tclephoned police headquarters
saying they were al 40 Dearborn street try
ing to crack a safe, and inviting the police
down. The police took the matter as
joke until they were informed of the burg
larry the next day. The policeman may be
faxed now ana then, but its always a
good idea for him to answer a call just to
see If there is anything going on. This is
another OF those proverbial Instances,
however. Of the policeman never being
there when he's wanted.

A Decision In Favor of Trusts.

The supreme court of the empire of
Germany, at Leipzig. recently rendered a
decision which should commend itself to
the most distinguished consideration of
our republican friends. The decision dis
tinctly declares that trusts are not only
legal, but that they are good things, in
as much as they act as a sort of govern
or-valve to the commercial engine. With
similar ruling in this country, and with
a pro-trust tariff on the statute books the
trusts would be in clover.
The motive for the German supreme
courts decision are summed up in the
Berliner Tageblatt about as follows:
When in certain industrial branches the
prices of such products are sinking too
low, thereby making impossible or en-
dangering a successful business thereof,
the crisis which necessarily follows is not
only pernicious to the individual, but also
to the political economy in general 1t is,
therefore, in the interest of the whole
community that inadequate low prices
shall not prevail too long in any Industrial
branch. In accordance with this principle
the legislative bodies have repeatedly and
quite recently undertaken to bring about
higher prices for certain products by es-
tablishing protective duties. 1t can, there
fore, not be deemed absolutely and gen.
orally obnoxious to the interests of the
community when the manufacturers of
certain articles form a combination for
the purpose of preventing ruinous compe-
tition and to instigate the downward ten
dency of prices for their products. on
the contrary, such combinations can be
regarded not only as a warranted mani
festation of the impetus of self-preserva-
ton, but also as a measure for the interest
OF the whole community. in cases where
prices are so low that the manufacturers
of them are threatened with financial
ruin. For this reason the formation of
syndicates and trusts has been designated
by several authorities as a means which,
when properly adopted. would prove re-
markedly eXpedient to prevent extrava-
giant and detrimental overproduction.

An organization was formed at Detroit
the other day by the manufacturers Of
independent telephones to protect them
selves and their subscribers In the fight
that the Bell Telephone Company Is go
ing to make on them. It Is understood
money has been raised TO carry on all
the probable legal contests and an inter-
esting fight is, therefore. anticipated. It
Is evident at least that the Bell company
is not going to find itself let down light.
A big lawsuit is about as delicate a
thing to get into as is the Berlner appa-
ratus Itself.
