DE-. LeHnrdr,r Suggestion.

Those who have given attention to the
matter will agree with Health officer LIE
Hardy that the city should bear all the
expense of the quarantine. The com
nerce Of the port should not be taxed to
protect the health of the city. The Morn
ing News has for years urged this idea
on the ground that TIE smaller the tax
and the fewer the restrictions placed on
vessels the greater will be the number
Of vessels TO come to this port. Captains
and crews Of vessels should be given every
facility free of charge to make their ar
rival in port a pleasant landing. They
should be made to feel that they are ar
irving among business friends who are
glad to see them, for every ship that ar
riyes at our wharves means an increase in
trade, and trade movements like ripples
in the water are far reaching.
DR.. LeHardy says the receipts from
quarantine fees last year were only a
little more than 5000, and that this year
under the new regulations they will be
less. This would be a small amount added
to the general taxes but 1t would afford
a relief to. commerce to take even that
much from the port charges. Masters Of
vessels feel that the collection of quaran-
tine fees is an injustice and If Savannah
were to relieve them of such charges the
matter would be advertised throughout
the commercial world. TO the benefit of
the city. There are now many induce
uients to vessels to come to this port.
There is deep water to the farthest
wharves, and vessels of heaviest draught
can come up to the city. The several
railroad lines centering here are the
shortest routes from the sea to south,
southwestern and western points. They
have wharf and warehouse facilities suffi-
cient to quadruple their inward and OUT
ward freight
The liberal aid of the general govern
ment to Savannah has given her the deep
est water and best harbor possessed by
any city on the South Atlantic coast, open
ing the port up to the largest CONNER
ciaI vessels adoat and there should be no
unnecessary distractions upon commerce,
such as a prohibitory or costly quaran-
tine TO make the harbor improvements
less valuable. With reasonable health reg
ulations, and the sanitary condition Of the
city and adjacent country kept good there
need be no fear of the health of the peo-

The Assassination of Cnnovas.

It is to the honor of the Cuban revolu-
tionists that there is no suggestion Of
| Cuban completely in the assassination OF
Senior Canoyas Castillo the Spanish prime
| minister Ii seems that the cowardly act
was the work Of an anarchist as were
! the assassination OF President Carnot Of
France and the attempt upon the life
Of the King of Italy. Senior Canovas was
killed, not because he was opposed to Gu
ban Independence or any certain line Of
political policy in Spain, but because he
was in power and represented the gov
erning head OF great nation. Anarchy
is opposed to all orderly, organized gov
eminent; it is opposed to written laws
and the enforcement of them, and seeks
TO overthrow the present state of society
by murder, assassination, arson and what
ever other violent means may be en-
ployed 1t is. therefore, the enemy of es-
tablished society and every official repre-
resentins or holding power OF late it
appears the European governments have
been little lax in dealing with anarch-
lists and anarchism, but It
may be expected after this
demonstration of anarchist hate for or
derby government, that there will be
sharp revival of activity against the as
sassins and bomb-throwers.
The belief is expressed. by Senator Nor
gan and others that Cuba will benefit
by the act of the murderer: that there

who may be raised to the premiership.
is not so radical in some of his ideas as
Canovas was. but he is just as intensely
Spanish. He believes in certain ere
forms for Cuba, but not in Cuban indie
pendence. He would, in all probability,
go as far as even Canovas himself to
maintain the integrity of the empire. He
would as quickly resent Interference in
Cuba on the part of the United States
and would WELD as much influence in the
council of nations as his predecessor. The
tragic taking off of Canovas will be more
than apt to mitigate the differences be
tween the parties in Spain, and make
them stand closer together for the pres
ervation, in the main, of the present gov
ernments line Of policy.
The Cuban insurgents, through Max
imo Gomez and other of their leaders.
have frequently declared that they win
accept no settlement short of absolute in
dependence. There is nothing in the
death Of Senior Canovas. so far as we
can see, which promises Independence to
Cuba; therefore we expect to see the
struggle IN Cuba continued along the old
lines until one party fails from exhaus-
ton The time has hardly come yet
when the death of one person is sufficient
to throw the whole government of Spain
out of gear.

Georgia AgricuItnrnI societv.

Members of the Georgia Agricultural
Society will begin arriving in the eitv this
morning in anticipation of the converting
of the annual meeting at Tybee to-mor-
row. Savannah and her delightful sea-
shore resort extend hearty welcome to
them, one and all. and hope they will
have pleasant and profitable convention.
The agricultural society is one of the
states strongest and most helpful organ
izations. 1t is non-pontical, hence it is
able to prosecute its good work of furth-
ering the agricultural interests of the
state unhampered by those considera-
lions which have Of late years cost GER
tain other organizations so dearly. Its
membership is made up Of sturdy pro-
gressive farmers, who love their occupa-
ton and who have abiding faith in the
future of the grand old Empire state of
the south They are among the men who
have assisted Georgia TO her present
proud position and they will remain true
TO her while she works out her high des-
tiny.
The visit of the Georgia agriculturists
to their seaport will no doubt prove edi-
flying to them, as wen as pleasing to sa-
vannah. They will be able 70 see in de-
tail how the immense bulk Of products
from the interior is handled in a great
port and distributed TO the world in ships
They will note the pun and roar of en-
gines, the shrleking of whistles, the hurry
hustle and noise Of freight handlers on
the wharves; they win see the stately
ships swing into the stream and point
out to old ocean. From Tybee they will
see the smoke and sails OF craft fetching
and carrying the great commerce which
they themselves do so much towards sup
plying. And then they will feel a hight
| ened interest a proprietary pride. in the
port ana It's great and growing business.
For itself, as well as for Savannah and
| Tybee, the Morning News bids the mem
bers Of the agricultural society a hearty
welcome, and 1t would be pleased to have
them visit IT'S establishment and see how
a modern newspaper reaps and binds, and
picks and gins the news.
