The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-09-01

Maude Maynard Noel, a young Chicago
mother, who is said TO be picture of
health, has begun a campaign which has
for its aim the slaughter of all the weak,
whether physically or mentally incapable,
upon the ground that it would be an act
Of Kindness and mercy to them as well as
a duty to humanity, or in other words,
10 provide for the survival of the ittest.
1t is to be noted that Mrs. Noel's children
are all perfect specimens of health as she
is herself. There is a sympathetic feeling
which pervades much of humanity whose
only satisfaction comes from ministering
to the sick. the helpless and the weak.
The Creator of one is the Creator of the
other and a deep rooted principle in hui
man nature must therefore be torn out be-
lore Mrs. NoePs plans can find any con-
siderable number of supporters.

The confession of Sarah Ann Angel
that she had never married Jay Gould as
She had claimed, was a peculiar termina-
ton to what promised to be a very sensa-
tional suit. Thus she has failed to prove
the dead millionaire a bigamist and failed
10 get any of his money There should
be some punishment for such frauds as
this which reflect seriously upon the lv-
ing as well as upon the dead.

The election of DR.. Herzl and DR.. Max
Nordau as presidents of the Zionist con-
ference which has under consideration the
purchase of Palestine for the purpose of
founding a Jewish state. evidently means
that If such a plan is pushed to success a
strong effort will be made TO found pc
litical instead of a spiritual state, as has
been contemplated by many of those inter-
ested in the movement. 1t is the general
belief of the zionlsts in America that Il
political state will prove a failure, but
that is the aim Of the ambition of Herzl
and Nordau, and they will no doubt insist
on making the experiment

Rejoicing win the Farmers.


Every one can afford TO rejoice with the
farmers. for in their good fortune every
body will share. Prosperous agriculture is
the basis upon which all national pros
perity in this or any other country must
rest. and the prosperity of our farmers
this year will be diffused everywhere and
among ell classes. Their good fortune is
the good fortune of everybody else, so
closely intertwined are the relationships
of all other classes with the farmers and
this is a good time for everybody else to
be glad because the farmers are glad.

Chambers Dangerous Admission.
From the New York World (Dem).

Senator Chambers declaration that a
clause seriously affecting the commercial
interests of the whole country was in
serted in the Dingley tariff bill by a trick
and that it became a law without the
knowledge of anybody except the few men
engaged in the trick, is one of the grav-
est import. II this has been done once it
can be done again And if laws can be
made by tricks not only without the con-
sent but without even the knowledge of
congress. government by the people has,
for practical purposes, persisted.

History has shown that it is practically
impossible for all the various and diverse
branches of labor to unite on any common
basis. The proceedings Of the St Louis
convention, it would appear, win give
added evidence that each interest or class
OF interests must look out for Itself as it
can get little more than sympathy, and
sympathy which is not of the material
sort. from the other organizations.

The question has arisen as to whether
the patent office should be an arbiter of
morals Some little criticism has re-
suited from the fact that a patent right
has been granted to the inventor of a
crib" device familiar enough to some
students, but perhaps not to the average
man. 1t is a tablet which may be hidden
benath the sleeve and upon which may
be written answers to questions expected
upon an examination and which the stu
dent finds it difficult to commit to memo
ry, or in other words it is an aid to I'M
fairness and cheating. This, however, is
not the first device to pass through the
patent Office which aids the propensity
to swindle Maybe the aforesaid "crib"
was intended as an aid to the longwinded
senator. At least it might be given the
benefit of the doubt

This is said to be the true story of En-
peror Williams black eye, which was not
caused by a blow from a rope: A Swedish
steamer was sailing ahead of a German
warship which carried the emperor on
board. The emperor commanded the Off
Ger of the warship TO order the steamer
out of his course. The officer refused on
the ground that International law gave
the Swedish steamer the right-Of-way. Il
am the emperor" cried William, land T
command you to do it," And l am in
command of this ship, and I refuse" said
the officer Whereupon Emperor William
slapped the officers face, and the latter
struck the emperor in the eye, imparting
the drab shading TO it, Realizing that his
life was ruined, the officer jumped over
board and was drowned. Thus the empe-
ror through his own petty pride, lost one
of his best commanding officers.

A Notable Instance of Courage

In passing along on foot among the

ing while transmitting some Of the
tinal orders, l observed an incident
which afforded practical illustration
Of the deliberate and desperate cour-
age of the men. AS I came near one
Of the regiments which was making
preparations for the next mornlng's
assault, l noticed that many of the
soldiers had taken off their coats. and
seemed to be engaged in sewing III
rents in them. This exhibition ot
tailoring seemed rather peculiar at
such a moment, but upon closer ex-
animation it was found that the men
were calmly writing their names and
home addresses on slips Of paper, and
pining them on The backs of their
coats, so that their dead bodies might
be recognized upon the field and their
fate made known to their families a,
home. They we're veterans who knew
we'll from terrible experience tbs
danger which awaited them, but thei,
minds were occupied not with
thoughts of Sinking their duty. but
with the preparation for the desperate
work of the coming morning. Sucr

Saved by One Chance in Ten Million

The accidents that astonish railroad
men are those that happen without
hurting anybody. Such mishap oc.
Cured to the Lake Shore flyer, from
Cleveland, coming into Chicago last
Saturday morning. A steel tire slipped
from one Of the driving wheels of the
engine with the train going at full
speed. This was extraordinary. But
that 1t should slip off the wheel, over
the connecting rod, and fall clear OF
the track, instead of wrecking the
train, was simply miraculous.
The driving wheel revolves, say,
four times every second, covering that
same second eighty feet of the rail
Fracture the tire, with its deep inner
fange, made to keep it on the rail,
and try. with that big connecting rod
rising and falling two feet every quar-
ter of a second, and the broken ti-e
rolling eighty feet every second, to
make the tire fall off the wheel anc
over the connecting rod, 50 it shall
drop clear of the wheel, the rod, the
rail and the train
This could not happen once in ten
million times. Yet, on last Saturday
morning on the Lake Shore flyer com
ing into Chicago, it did that very
thing. and the passengers, instead O
being smashed up in q wreck, marvelet
over the remarkable occurrence

and Denver. For six hours we had
travelled at no more than q snairs
pace from the plains to the foothills,
We had snapped yarns, exchanged
cigars, read papers, dog cared our
novels, and, in fact, done everything
that it is possible to do in the smok-
ing compartment Of sleeping car, save
play whist. We had tried to play
whist as no three men had ever tried
before. We had attempted the game
for nearly IN hour with a dummy and
had given up in disgust. We had
with no success. We had even at
tempted to bribe the porter. Then
we had sat dsconsolate and eyed the
table and the idle decks with murder
in our hearts. At each stop we bad
looked anxlously for q new passenger,
but none appeared. 1t really looked

ple who would ever inhabit q sleeper

Consequently when, after having
eaten our miserable dinners at High

inc room of the "La Junta," our Joy
was beyonl concealment at the sight
Of vniso and light overcoat on the

ulate one another on the brighten ed
prospect the owner OF the bag ap-
reared. But as soon as my eyes
rested on him my heart sank; he

clothes were neat and Of good mater

hair was IN need Of cutting, and bis
mustache WAS ragged to the point OF
anarchism.
He nodded to us and sank into che
corner. A rapid look Of disappoint
ment passed from the wealthy -four
