Death From Morphine.

The little child of George Smith
(colored), who lives near Whites
Spring, died Tuesday from the
effects of morphine. The child's
mother was brushing off the mantle
piece, and accidentally let fall q
bottle of morphine. The child
picked up the bottle, and, before the
mother could interfere, had swal-
lowed all of its contents. Medical
aid was summoned, but to no avail,
and the child expired a short time
afterwards.

Alderman J. H. Frierson, of the

letter of resignation to Mayor

thought it was justice to the city

his business duties. An election to
fill his vacancy will be held at the

"Brynnisnl.a

DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew is quoted in
the cable dispatches as saying in an in
terview with the London Daily Graphic:
Organism is another name for discon-
tent with the existing conditions. For
three years the American farmer has had
no paying market for his products or live
stock. Miners and manufacturers have
had tentative and spasmodic but not reg
ular business, and labor has had no reg
ular employment" DIR. Depew is in a
measure right and in a measure wrong,
and he does not go far enough. He is
right in saying that Organism means dis
content with existing conditions. 1t
means discomfort with the policy. adopted
by the republican party, of legislating for
the benefit Of the few at the expense of
the many. 1t means discomfort at the
surrender of the function of fixing the
tariff rates to the trusts and monopolies,
and the burdening of the people with need
less imposts in order that the favorites, or
rather campaign fund contributors, of the
republican party may wax fat and pros
per.

An Eagle Rightly Killed.

For once 1t is possible to record the
destruction Of an eagle without Fastening
to add vehement denunciations of the de-
stroyer. says the New York Times. That
IS because the eagle in question, instead of
attending strictly 10 his duty, which Is
TO look grim and dignified, as BELTS the
symbol Of American liberty took 1t into
mis- head to emulate the eagles that live
in stories about Switzerland. In other
words, he tried to carry off a little child,
doubtless with the intention of dividing its
flesh among a brood of little eagles that
would have been quite as we'll content with
dinner stolen, in the way usual with
well-regulated eagles, from the fish
hawks whose appointed task it is to pro-
vide the bird of freedom with the means
Of livelihood. The episode took place
near Jersey Shore. a hamlet in the noun
tains Of Dycoming county, Pennsylvania.
Wandering gracefully through the pic
turesque outskirts of that village, on Mon
day last, there might have been seen-and
was, by the eagie-Miss Bertha Moore, a
young and almost certainly beautiful resi-
dent of the neighborhood. With her also
wandering, but not so gracefully, was FL
sic Talsen, eight years old and small for
her age. After a while Miss Moore sat
down and began to read a book, possibly
historical or scientific in its nature, but
probably not; present advices leave that
question unsettled. Meanwhile the chlld,
in whom the love of literature had not yet
developed, investigated the adjacent cliff.
All at once there was a whirr of wings,
and Miss Moore looking up from her book,
saw that Elsie had been seized by bird
that appeared to her TO be as large as an
ostrich, though built on finer lines. Miss
Moore had no wings herself, but the &C
count from which we CLEAN these details
says that she flew instantly to the res
cue" That was an action as commendable
as it was mysterious, and it is pleasant to
record that she not only few to the res
cue, but accomplished 1t by breaking the
too ambitious eagles neck after a prolong-
ed and desperate conflict. Then, leading
the child, who was not much hurt and
carrying the dead eagle, Miss Moore went
home to have her own rather serious
wounds attended TO, and to receive recog-
milton as a real heroine

A story About Mrs. Hettr Green.

tells Of an interesting experience with the
richest woman in Chicago" says the
Chicago Record. She says: "A lady knock
ed at my door and asked me to loan her
60 cents TO pay her laundry bill, as she
couldn't make the change. / gave her the
money. That evening my husband said
he would be bankrupt in two months II
used w. his hard-earned money in that
way. I had never seen the woman be-
FORE and didn't really expect to see her
again. The next morning she came TO my
room with bouquet OF American Beau
ties. which would have cost 49, and
handing me the 60 cents. she asked me to
accept the flowers.
Il told her I would gladly pick out a
few roses and keep them, but couldn't
accept such an expensive present from a
stranger. Oh she said you need not
hesitate on that account. They didn't
cost me anything-a young florist down

At work On BuckhsIter.

The fin-de-siecle political proverb, saw
wood and say nothing" seems to apply
to the policy Of the county commissioners.
While the people thought the commission
ers were bordering the question of the
propriety of digging a canal in Buckhal-
ter swamp, the steam dredge was lowed
around TO the Little Ogeechee river and
to the swamp, and a hundred able-bodied
convicts were put to work upon the canal.
1t is claimed that system of canals and
bitches in Buckhalter swamp is necessary
to the proper drainage of the lands near
the city. The Morning News explained. In
its Lesson In Local Geography" where
Buckhalter swamp Is located. 1t may be
well, however. to again cali attention to
the fact that that terra incognita" is six
and half miles from Savannah, IN a
southwesterly direction. Ii is a large
swamp, with many small swamps and
branches as feeders. Its natural outlet is
a creek which makes up through Rocking
ham and Cherbourg plantations, and
empties into SALE Creek. the east-fork of
the Little Ogeecnee river. In draining the
swamp not only viii large central canal
have to be built, but miles upon miles OF
laterals will have to be dug In order to
get the water out Of the many smaller
swamps.
According to the survey OF former en-
gineer of the county, not only will the
canal fail to drain the lands around the
city. but the drainage viii not reach with
in miles Of the city. The spending of
large sums Of public money for so doubt
full public work as the drainage Of Buck
halter swamp Is serious matter No
heavy work. entailing an outlay which will
run into the hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars. should be undertaken In such
times as these. No business man would
inaugurate now any large undertake
ing which could as well be postponed: and
the same rule should apply to public
works.

The rnrin in Conference.

The dawnlng Of the era of prosperity
which the republicans have been promis-
| ing ought to be somewhere near in sight.
The tariff matter is practically settled, as
far as it is in the power of the republi-
can party to settle it. The bill which has
been passed by the Senate is probably not
one which viii appeal to the support of
the country, but it is the bill under which
the country must labor for the next eour
years. unless perchance the opposition
should come into control of congress dur
Ing the next two years by such a majority
that the act could be repealed over the
veto Of the President. This, however, is
hardly a probability Matters move very
slowly in the Senate. The next House, by
the way, will in all likelihood contain a
majority of anti-hish protection members.
The Senate's bill, as we have said is
the one under which the country must
labor for the next four years. 1t is not
as radical as the bill which was passed by
the House; still, according to the pro.ec-.
zionist senator Teller, it Is t'the most out
rageous" bill of the kind lever given to
the people of this country" 1t is an en-
bodiment of rampant protectionism. The
Senate made eight hundred and seventy
four amendments to the bill sent over by
the House, making virtually a new instru-
ment; still the House will accept 1t with
out mhterlal change. The House is I'M
der the thumb of the bosses, or rather
Car Reed. When Reed intimates a wish.
the House acquiesces. 1t is Reeds wish
that the Senate's bill be accepted practi-
cally as il is, and that wish will govern
1t is said that the conferees on the part
Of the House may oppose the sugar trusts
demand, as embodied in the bill, and that
some of the New England members may
make a fight upon the tax on hides 1t
may be doubted however II these fights
will materialize. The trusts are in power
at Washington this season. The congress
is being run by syndicate, and 1t Is not
the syndcate's will that there shall be
impediments thrown In the way of the new
tariff bill The kickers therefore, will be
taken care Of and the bill will be rushed
through. In less than a month, in all
probability, the new law viii have re-
ceived the Presidents signature and be-
come effective. To expunge the odious
measure from the statute books, and SUBJ
stitute for it an honest and fair meas
ure, will be the duty OF the democratic
party The democracy should organize
at once for the defense of the country.
