No wonder Gov. Atkinson wants par
don board. During his term of office he
has had to listen for pleas for clemency
well calculated to make man lose his
nerve and wish he had never seen the ex-
ecutive Office. The governor will recon-
mend to the legislature that such a board
be created, and the legislature should give
the recommendation serious considera ton.
1t is not fair to the governor to subject
him to the fearful pressure and mental
strain incident to hearing and deciding all
applications for clemency His time is too
valuable to be taken up with this sort OF
work, even if It were not an injustice to
turn loose upon him the flood of tears, APP
peQls. arguments protests. etc, of the rel
atives, friends and attorneys of convicted
criminals. a board of three persons would
divide the responsibility and the strain.

Conclusive Evidcncc SUBMITTED.

~ ANtAANt
The efforts of certain parties to mis-
lead the public with regard to the condi.
ton of the drainage around and contgu-
Gus to the city of Savannah will hardly
make much impression upon the minds of
non-partisan and disinterested citizens
The board of county commissioners desir-
ed that the unsanitary places near the
city should be pointed out. The report OF
the citizens committee has designated
them, and now that the board
Of commissioners has the data
before tit probably had no re-
liable information before-it behooves the
members of that body to see to it that
work is at once begun upon the canals,
bitches and other drains in the nelghbor-
hood and continued until the whole sec
ton is put in good sanitary condition.
There will be no use for the board or its
friends to make light of the evidence pre-
scented. 1t is conclusive, and it is before
the people. When the case rs tried by
public opinion, if move ment ia the right
direction is not speedily made, verdict
of wilful neglect Of public duty will be
returned.
There might before now have been some
excuse for non-action on the part of the
board on the ground of lack of informa-
ton, but now not even that excuse exists.
The convict force should be taken from
Buckhalter swamp and put to work on
the drainage near the city. No amount
of regrets or explanations would avail
should disaster overtake the city.

Right Sort of Immigration.
From the Philadelphia Times DENY

The class of emgrants that the
south should have to-day is the
class that has steadily gone
westward for many years. most of
them with money enough TO make liberal
payment on a home, and industry and
energy enough to pay the balance by the
fruits OF their labor. This emigration
has only too long gone westward, and
had & been directed to the more fertile
lands and genial climate of the south
score of years ago, the south would have
been greatly enriched and would to-day
have 100000 more people living comfort
ably on southern soil and furnishing an
excellent class of citizens. Mr.. Thomp-
sons efforts are TO- aid such movement,
and he should have the hearty support
Of all, both north and south. who want
TO give the best possible advantages to our
unemployed labor.

The loss of those great guns off Tybee
has drawn attention to the secrecy with
which the government is proceeding with
the work of fortlfying the coasts and
strengthening port and harbor defenses.
Nobody seems TO have known that the
guns were on the way to Tybee, and but
for the accident they would probably have
been landed with only a little more
publicity than they were shipped. Other
and similar shipments are being made
from time to time, of which but little Is
heard. 1t will probably not be a great
while before the world viii wake up one
fine morning to a realization that the .ong-
discussed defenseless condition OF the
American coast has ceased to exist and
that we are ready to defend ourselves
against all corners.

President Andrews Resignation.

President Andrews of Brown University
has acted wisely in refusing to withdraw
his resignation as president of that insu-
tuition. Ii is understood that he holds
the opinion that he could be of no further
use to the university. That being the
case, he would not be just to himself nor
to the university by remaining
The executive committee Of the univer-
sity try to mako it plain that in taking
the step they did they had no intention to
interfere with the freedom of speech.
They simply wanted to make President
Andrews understand that his free silver
coinage teachings We're injurlng the uni
Versity, because the support of the uni
versity comes from those who are hostile
to free silver. But whatever their pur-
pose was, President Andrews assumed
that they meant TO dictate to him in re-
spect to the views he should express on
the silver question. He declined to sub
nit to any such dictation, and sent his
resignation TO the trustees of the univer-
sity.
1t is apparent that if President Andrews
should withdraw his resignation and re-
main with the college he would not give
satisfaction to the trustees, unless he
ceased to press his silver views upon the
attention of the public, and if he sup
pressed his silver views it would be said
that for the purpose of holding his posi-
ton he smothered his convictions. His
determination, therefore, to sever his
connection with the university is best for
all parties concerned. In the present
state of public feeling in respect to silver
his continued connection with Brown
University would be injurious to that in
stitution, whatever course he might elect
to pursue in respect to silver.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The French crop was the main factor in the wheat market today. Although information regarding that crop received today was simply a confirmation Of what was already known, still 1t was none the less effective in causing all advance. The market was irregular to noon, the open ing being weak on lower Liverpool cables, prices soon advancing on good export clear ances at New York, but again declining be- cause other seaboard points were not in line with New York. The final bulge was dur ing the last hour and was due to the French news May wheat opened from Alsc to 743sc, sold between 74l4c and 76lsc, closing at l5Ac -A07sc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was steady, closing firm and 1aM%c higher.
 Alterations in thep rice of corn were very small, the business being of such light vol ume that it was remarkable that quota tions did not remain perfectly stationary. The strength or weakness of wheat, how ever exerted a slight influence, to which the changes were due. May corn opened at 24c, sold at 2414c, closing at the latter-l4c c higher than yesterday. Cash corn was steady and unchanged.
 There was very little difference either corn markets. Moderate fluctuations with in narrow limits took place.. May oats closed a shade higher. Cash oats were steady and unchanged.
 Provisions--Hegs were up another 2is0p5c this morning, circumstance which had a Salutary effect on provisions. Commits sion houses and packers were good buyers early, but trade became slack after the first hour and prices gradually settled backward May pork closed 2lac higher, May lard 5c higher and May ribs unchanged
