Holiday BuNIng.

Christmas is less than three weeks off.
The holiday shopping will now go briskly
on until the arrival of the glorious day of
giving and receiving presents. The ac-
tivity of the season is already beginning
to be apparent Window decorations in
the retail district are taking on more color
and tinsel and brightness. As the holt
days approach, the people will be divided
into two clearly defined classes, the buyers
and the sellers, each eager to make the
most of the Christmas trade.
There are many Savannah buyers who,
at this season of the year especially, re-
ceive through the mails the catalogues and
price lists of out-of-town merchants and
firms. From these catalogue lists of Christ
mas purchases are made out, and orders
and money are sent away to New York,
Philadelphia and Boston for holiday goods.
Many persons of the more well-to-do class
habitually make their purchases in the
cities named, or in Europe. notwithstand-
ing they draw their incomes from Savan-
nah, and the Savannah merchants either
directly or indirectly contribute to those
incomes. A gentleman familiar with the
dry goods trade said the other day: THE
wagons of the express company carry out
every day more dry goods and notions par
GELS shipped here from the north, than are
carried out by the wagons of any firm in
Savannah in a day" This should not be
so, and it would not be if the purchasers
consulted their own interests and did not
care to pay extra money for a New York
or Philadelphia trademark The mer-
chants of Savannah are prepared to meet
the prices of all competitors, and they
should be given a chance to do it.
The Savannah merchants have this year
bought extensive stocks for the holiday
trade. They have gone into the best mar
kets, they have had the advantage of reas-
enable freight rates, and they have placed
their stocks on their shelves and counters
upon terms which will permit them to sell
as cheaply as the merchants of any other
city. Their ASSIGNMENTS are large and
varied. 1t would be a very fastidious per-
son who could not be suited from the
stocks of this city There is no necessity
to send away for articles for Christmas, or
any other time. Seekers after desired ar
ticles, in the majority of instances, would
economic both time and money by see
ing what things are offered at home be-
fore looking elsewhere for them Leav-
ing out of the consideration the idea-a cor
rect one, by the way-that home industry
should be patronized, it would no doubt
be found matter of saving money for
Savannah people to do their buying in Sa-
vannah. Give the merchants chance,
at any rate; and then send away if they
cannot furnish w! at you want at reason
able prices.

NOnNlct
If the newspapers had not kept prodding
the legislature, the session would have
ended without any convict bill that had
the least chance of becoming a law. When
the statesmen found that the talk of an
extra session for the settlement Of the
convict question was not popular with
either the governor or the people, they
buckled down to work, and now there is
fair prospect of settlement of that ques-
ton. If the legislature should discuss the
question from now until Jan. /, it would
hardly reach any other conclusions than
those contained In the bill which the spe-
cial penitentiary committee presented on
Friday.
1t is not wholly satisfactory bill, and
not the kind of a settlement Of the con-
Wet question which the people expected,
but 1t provides for a much better peni-
tertiary system than the one we now
have. The people expected great deal
without taking into consideration the ques-
ton Of where the money was to come
from to support the kind of a peniten-
tiary system which they had in mind.
When they found that 1t would require a
great deal of money to carry into effect
Immediately their philanthropic and hui
manitaran notions respecting the CON
victs they ceased to make demands, and
practically consented to take what they
could get.
The bill If it becomes a law, will be the
basis of a penifentiary system which will
be steadily improved until 1t is some
thing like what the people want. The
separating of the male and female con-
victs and the young convicts from the old
ones and the establishment Of a reforma
tory for the young convicts are notable
improvements over the present system.
The farm upon which the women and
the invalid and juvenile c6nvicts are to
be placed can be made much more than
self-sustaining if properly managed. The
terms upon which the able-bodied convicts
are to be leased nsures them humane
treatment and the state freedom from the
sort of scandals which have made the
present penitentiary system 50 unpopu-
lar No doubt the bill will be changed in
some particulars in its progress through
the House and Senate, but, even as it is,
it presents a penitentiary system very
much superior to the present one.
The man who invented the plan of re-
quiring the members of the House to an
swer certain questions respecting the con-
vict matter is entitled to most of the
credit for what has already been accom-
plished. Let the bill be pushed right along
and the legislature viii have something
to it's credit when it adjourns.
