A Cemetery Scheme.

The city isn't in need of another Gene
terry just yet, and if it We're it would hard
ly go four miles out on the Ogeecbee road
for land for one. 1t is said that the price
of the tract of land on the Ogeechee road
which is offered to the city is $25 900. That
is a pretty stiff price for a cemetery site
in that locality. 1t would probably cost as
much more-it may be twice as much more
to make the necessary improvements
upon the tract.
There is still considerable room in Lau-
rel Grove cemetery, and there is adjacent
land that can be taken in. Before think
ing about another site it would be advis-
able for the city TO find out what addi-
tons can be made to Laurel Grove, and
how long It will likely be before the ac-
commodations of that cemetery are ex-
hausted.
If a new cemetery is necessary imme-
dlately. why not consider the advisablity
of purchasing Bonavenlure? That is a
magnificent cemetery and has vast possi-
bilities for Improvement 1t contains
eighty acres, and only about ten acres Of
needed there is adjoining land which could
be secured in all probability, upon very
reasonable terms.
That cemetery was offered to the city
once, and it is highly probable that it
would be again at a satisfactory price if
the city should manifest desire to pur-
chase it.
Bonaventure has now a national repu-
tation. II could easily be made far more
attractive than it is. 1t has natural adj
vantages which no place on the Ogeechec
road possesses.
1t is quite safe to say that
if the city should indicate
purpose to put $4,000 in land,
four miles out on the Ogeechee road. for
cemetery, there would be pretty
strong protest sent to the Council If the
Council is wise it will not be in haste to
give its approval to the Ogeechee road
cemetery scheme.

! The Fish Commission.

The United States Fish Commission Is
one of the most unique bureaus under the
government. 1t is not connected with
either of the great departments repre-
scented in the cabinet by a secretary. 1t
does not even report to the President, but
to Congress directly, hence it may be said
to be in a class by itself. The reason for
its isolation is not hard TO find 1t was
intended to be a strictly scientific bureau,
and IL was desired that it should be as
far as possible removed from anything
like partisan politics. The wisdom of this
purpose is shown in the fact that the
commission now stands at the head of all
similar enterprises in the world, and has
occupied that position for the past seven
teen years. At the International Fisheries
exposition in Berlin in 1880 Prof. Baird,
the head of the commission, was awarded
the grand prize as the FIRST fish culturist
in the world. Three years later a similar
exposition held in London, the United
States won the grand prize over thirty
five other national exhibits in competition.
Since then, at the Chicago, Atlanta and
Nashville eXposltions, the exhibits of the
United States Fish Commission have been
sources of wonder to all observers and Of
pride to all Americans.
The commission may be called the crca-
iure of Prof. Bairds genius and devotion.
He was scientist of acknowledged ability
and resources, and his assistants and sue
cessors have been such men. They have
perfected delicate apparatus with the aid
OF which millions upon millions of fish
are annually added, by artificial propaga-
ton, to our food fish supply. Through
scientific research we have been put in
| possession of facts with regard to fish life
| and fish habits which. if utilized to proper
| advantage win assure to the people a
never failing store of cheap food in the
rivers bays and streams. Last year not
| less than five hundred millions of fish eggs
of all kinds were Matched and distributed
in various parts of the country. Since the
habits of no two species of fish are pre-
cisely alike, and as each kind must be
treated in special manner, it can be
comprehended how much scientific knowl-
| edge, and what degree of care must be
exercised in order to make the work of
the commission successful.
This is the bureau which President Nc
Kinley, at the solicitation of Steve" Ell
kins of West Virginia, has removed from
its high position and placed in the list
OF the spoils for political workers. This
is the bureau to the head of which the
President at the solicitation of Elkins has
| appointed man whose only recommended
ton is that "he is a bright sort of a fell
| low, and will catch on"

The Chicago Times-Herald furnishes
what may be an insight into the remark
able patriotism 60 displayed by certain
New York newspapers, which have been
bowling for war instantly ever since
the misfortune 10 the Maine. The Times
Herald's story is this: The proprietor Of
one of the saffron sheets of Gotham tele-
graphed to his Washington correspondent
for the details of a wild rumor which was
flying about. There is no truth in the
story wired the correspondent. D the
truth answered the New York publisher,

per- 1t is possible that the story is
literally correct. But whether it is or not,
there is no lack of evidence going to show
that the saffron sheets have proceeded up
on the identical idea said to have been
voiced by the New York publisher 1t is
gratifying 10 reflect upon the fact that
persons who ID the truth" whether they
be newspaper. publishers or others, soon
lose the confidence and respect of the
public, and are accepted only at their real
worth.

The south Would Suffer.
From the Birmingham News Dem.)

In the event of war with Spain the
brunt of the burden, which such a con-
fiict would entail. would fall upon the
South. A war with Spain would be in the
nature of a naval conflict, and ii would
occur in Southern waters. Our Southern
ports are poorly fortified and every one of
them would be exposed TO the guns OF the
enemy. 1t would be impossible for the
American navy 20 prevent the Spaniards
from doing more or less damage along
our Southern coasts, even though the war
were brief and terminated in American
victory, as II surely would. The South's
commercial and material interests would
suffer very heavily at all events. This is
a phase of the situation which those at
home who are clamoring for war should
seriously consider.

Once more our Old friend the report of
German antagonism to American petro-
leum makes its appearance in the news
columns. 1t is now stated that an in
quiry is going on by German officials into
the merits of our oil, with view to de-
termining whether it shall be shut out
1t is not suspected that our petroleum is
bug-eaten there are no bacteria on 1t.
but the Germans allege that it does not
come up to the standard test. and conse>
Guently makes a poor light. When the
Emperor William tackles petroleum, by
the way, he will find something stronger
than American apples The oil business
of the world is principally in the hands
of three great corporations, which work
in concert. Should the three turn their
oil hose on William, he would probably
have to move.

A Timely suggestion.

The suggestion, published in the Morn
ing News yesterday, relative to the space
to be left around trees i'm the concrete
sidewalks, which are now being put down,
is well worth the careful attention of the
Park and Tree Commission. 1t has been
shown by experience, so a Washington cor
respondent states, that where the streets
are asphalted and the sidewalks are paved
with a material which does not allow wa
ter TO pass through it easily trees, in or
der TO flourish, must have spaces around
them which win insure them a sufficient
supply of water.
It may be that the Park and Tree Com
mission has given attention to this mat
ter already. If 1t hasn't it ought TO do so
without unnecessary delay. Trees have
been set out in front of Chatham Acade-
my. IL would be folly to so construct the
payment as to kill the trees. A little care
now might save a great deal of trouble
and expense.
Trees are expensive, not only because of
the difficulty in protecting them until they
set a good start in growing, but also be-
cause of the long time it requires for them
to reach size when they are both use
full and beautiful. 1t would be great mis-
take to so construct the Chatham Academy
pavement, that Il would retard the growth
of the trees in front of the academy, and
perhaps kill them within a few years.
Now is the time for the Park and Tree
Commission to decide how much unpaved
space is to be left around trees when q
new pavement is laid. The probability is
that new sidewalks win be put down in
many parts of the city in the near future.
Therefore there ought to be an understand
ing, relative to the space to be left unpav-
ed about the trees. at once.
