IN THE SHADOW.

Oh, she will have the deep, dark heart, for
all her face is fair
As deep and dark as though beneath the shadow
Of her hair,
For in her heir "a spirit dwells that no white
spirit Is,
And hell is in the hopeless heaven OF that lost
spirits kiss.
She has two men within the palm, the hollow
OF her hand.
She takes their souls and blows them forth as
idle drifted sand
And one falls back upon her breast that is his
quiet home,
And one goes out into the night and is rs wind
blown foam.
And is there any home for him whose portion
Is the night?
And Is there any peace for him whose doom is
endless flight?
o wild, sad bird, O wind spent bird, o bird
upon the wave,
There is no home for thee, wild bird, but in
the cold sea gravel

THE case Of the prosecution has been
summed up and presented. The defense
VIII be heard from shortly, in the inquiry
By the board of fire commissioners.
How far the defense VIII be able
10 rebut the evidence elected by the pros
ecution, remains to be seen. II must be
| admitted that the prosecution has made
out strong case. and one which the
/ court of public opinion will sustain if the
| strongest kind Of testimony and the
! shrewdest arguments are not brought out
on the other side.
| If there is any department of the city
| government which should be free from po-
litical Vaccinations it is the fire depart
ment The taxpayers submit to heavy le-
vies for the sustenance Of the department
expecting to receive in return the valua-
| BILE consideration of the watchful care of
the men over their property. and the
prompt and efficient services of the de-
partment in the case of emergency. OF late
years, according to the testimony, the de-
partment has been turned into a political
| machine and operated for, the benefit of
political faction. While the citizens of
Savannah were asleep, confident of the
wakeful and watchful services Of the fire
men, many Of them were detailed on po-
litical duty, to corral and guard negro
voters all night, so that they might be
driven early to the polls the next morn
ing to vote certain ticket. The regular
"relefs'' at the engine houses were upset
temporarily, in order that the iremen de-
| tailed as heeers might not be interfered
with in their political work. Some of the
men objected to that sort of business, but
knowing that acquiscence was necessary
| if they wished to retain their jobs, they
| put their objections or scruples into their
pockets and performed the services re-
quired of them. Latterly there have been
instances of old and competent fremen
| suspended from duty for daring to answer
questions put to them by the representa-
tives OF the people, the committeeman of
council.
1t is needless to say that the citizens of
| Savannah disapprove this sort Of thing.
| They can have no objection of course, TO
the politics of any head of department;
but they have the right to object, and
| they do object, TO the carrying of intense
partisan politics into the public service,
! the employment of men on the city's pay
rolls in partisan political work, and the
| intimidation or punish of witnesses
| called by the peoples delegated represen-
tatives to answer questions with regard to
the public service.
What is needed is that the fire depart
ment shall be removed from the field of
] qrti As fer Z
in the department depends upon political
activity there will be discomfort on all
| sides accompanied by high insurance
rates. Savannah pays out enough money
for the purpose to secure the services of
an efficient corps of fire fighters, and that
| is what she ought to have.

Chicago Post, If there is anyone who
knows when to look very quiet and de-
mure it is the judges daughter.

times, but finally waived the point and
suggested that he had personally seen

vious evening.

The New ThunderboIt Road.

"A correspondent wishes to know why
the Morning News opposes the building of
the proposed new road from Estnl avenue
to Thunderbolt, and invites attention to
the fact that the road would enhance the
value Of property on the avenue. We an
| swer that the Improvement of property
on Esdn avenue, or elsewhere, has moth
ing to do with the case There is no
| doubt that the extension of the avenue to
| Thunderbolt would add to the value of
lands along the line, but the question is
not what would or would not benefit any
individual or set Of individuals, but what
is the best for the whole people, and where
should the peoples money available for
! roads be expended so as to secure the
best results for the masses? In discuss
ing county affairs, the rights of no indi-
vidual are in question No public work can
be carried out without somebody's being
benefited. Personal advantages, therefore,
should not be urged either for or against
public works. The question is whether
the works are needed by the people
The reason the Morning News opposes
the building of the proposed road to Thun-
| derbolt is that there is no necessity for
it. 1t is laid out through an unsettled
section. and will cost the taxpayers twice
! the money that the Thunderbolt shell
road in a thickly settled section, can be
bought for. Furthermore, it is not right
that money paid in by taxpayers should
be used 20 destroy the value of property
of taxpayers. If the new road to Thun-
10
pany to abandon that highway. the people
| would have to be taxed to maintain two
| roads where one would be sufficient
Ut is understood that, aside from the
landowners at Thunderbolt not having
compiled with the first '1pse dixit' OF the
| county commissioners. a part of the de-
lay in reaching a conclusion with regard
to the road was occasioned by question
between the company which owns most of
the land through which the proposed road
is to be built and Commissioner Kehoe
The land company wished the road built
so that it would have lots to sell on either
side Of the highway, while Commissioner
Kehoe wished 1t built in a straight lire so
that his land would abut upon the great
| boulevard" 1t appears however, that this
matter having been amicably settled, and
the board Of commissioners having back
| ed down from the demand for an absolute
right-of-way along the river front from all
of the landowners at Thunderbot, there
is no further hindrance 10 the building Of
/ the road, excepting the objections urged
I by the Morning News and the people,
namely. that the road is not needed and
/ that II would be waste Of public money
1 TO build it,
To spend $4,000 of the peoples money
4 upon unnecessary public works at this
/ time, when many taxpayers are borrow
ing money to pay taxes, is wanton waste.
! No man would manage his private affairs
in any such manner but would delay all
expenditures that were not absolutely nee
essary until a more propitious time.

which owns the toll road to the Cathedral
cemetery. Thunderbolt and Bonaventure.
has for the third time made an effort to
have that one-time old hi4hway reopened
to the public by offering it to the county
commissioners for $4,000. This liberal Of
fer the commissioners at their meeting
on Wednesday, declined, and the public.
more particularly those who live on the
road in question, must continue to pay
toll for using 1t in addition to paying
their proportion Of the county taxes to be
used for building a road which is OF no
practical use to them. The excuse the
commissioners give for not accepting the
offer by which this highway would be
reopened to the people, IS that the county
has no money. At the same meeting,
however, a resolution was passed provid-
ing that the county should borrow money
to be used in building a new road to
Thunderbolt al a cost of $4,000, in contin-
uing the work on Buckhalter swamp and
for other purposes.
1t will be wen for the people to keep in
mind the facts that the two toll roads
along which lie the best suburban i'm
provements can be bought and made free
roads for $1,000, and that on the flimsy
excuse that the county has no money, the
county commissioners have refused to ac-
quire possession of those highways. The
grand jury may have been in doubt about
some of the alleged terglversauons of the
county commissioners, but that body can
no longer entertain any doubt as to the
policy of the commissioners on the ques-
ton of county roads. The grand jury Is
the only protecting shield the people have
against the ruinous policy of the gentle
men who are supposed to manage the
county's affairs. 1t seems that the time
has come for the grand jury to act in
It's supreme capacity as the conservator
