A GREAT REMEDY.
Greatly Tested.
Greatly Recommended.

The loss OF the hair Is one OF the most
serious losses woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting IL the locks were short ana
scanty. II Is almost as serious a loss when
the natural hue Of the hair begins to fade,
and the shining tresses of chestnut aud
auburn are changed to gray or to a faded
shadow of their former brightness. such
a loss Is no longer a necessity. There is
one remedy which may we'll be called
great remedy by reason of its great sue
cess In stopping the falling OF the hair,
cleansing the scalp OF dandruff, aud re
storing the lost color to grey or faded
tresses. Dr. Ayers Hair vigor Is a stand
ard and reliable preparation, in use in
thousands of homes, and recommended by
everyone who has tested IT and expert
enced the remarkable results that follow
its use. II makes hair grow. II restores
the original color to hair that has turned
gray OF faded out. II stops hair from fall
ing, cleanses the scalp OF dandrud and
gives the hair thickness and gloss that
no other preparation can produce.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-03-06

Mr. Croker is ttilR making efforts to find
to Democrats of all sections OF the coun-
try. The resolutions which were adopted
by the Democratic members of the New
York Legislature last week and which
were prepared under Mr.. Cookers direc-
ton, are regarded as an attempt TO find
out whether a platform, which embodied
about everything in the Chicago platform
except the &c to declaration, would not
be satisfactory to Democrats generally.
The leading feature of the resolutions is
opposition TO trusts. This includes legis-
lative control of the prices Of the products
OF corporations and countries dependent
upon state or municipal franchises.
Mr.. Croker is anxious to keep the Dem
ocracy Of New York in harmony with the
National Democracy, but ne knows that
if the New York Democracy should ac-l
cept the 10 TO idea of the Chicago plat
form it would have no chance whatever
for carrying the state of New York. There
are many other states in which the Demo-
cratic party cannot vote its full strength
if it indorses the free and unlimited coin
age of silver.
But could the Democratic party poll as
large a vote if it should abandon silver
altogether and make the Croker idea the
leading feature of its platform as 1t could
by retaining the Chicago platform just as
it Is? That is question that neither Mr..
Croker nor any one of his friends under
takes to answer. Doubtless he thinks II
will be time enough to answer it a couple
of years hence. 1t may be that he is
more concerned about the success of the
Democratic party of New York than about
the National Democratic party. He wants
united and harmonious party in New
York and that he cannot have unless the
New York Democracy accepts the Ma.
tional Democratic platform.
The congressional elections next fall will
have much to do with determining whether
or not the silver question shall be made
less prominent in the National Democratic
platform in 1900. 1t is too early yet to
form an opinion as to whether the efforts
to bring the Democrats, Populists and Sill
yer Republicans together in support of
congressional candidates pledged 20 sill
yer Will be entirely satisfactory. If they
should be the chances are that the next
House would be for free silver coinage.
In that event Mr.. Cookers plan for bring
ing Democrats in all parts of the country
into harmony would not be given a mo-
ment's consideration. At present, that
plan is interesting because il shows that
Eastern Democrats see no hope for the
success of their party in the East as
long as the 16 to idea has place in the
National Democratic platform

An Assault Upon Sunday.


1T has been proposed to the Louisiana
constitutional convention that the new
constitution of that state, now in course
Of construction, shall ignore Sunday. The
idea is 10 virtually expunge Sunday from
any consideration, prohibition or exception
under the laws, placing it upon identically
the same footing as the other days of the
week. The hackers of the rather radical
proposition direct attention to the fact
that there is nothing of a religious nature
in the constitution of the United States.
That document, indeed, does not even mem
ton the name of God; a circumstance
which has led to much agitation for and
against an amendment which shall recog-
nize the Deity 1t is argued in favor of the
elimination of Sunday from the laws of
Louisiana that the taking of that day out
of the statutes would not affect the sane
tity of the Sabbath: that as a matter of
fact 1t would be an act of justice to those
religious denominations having Judgment
in Louisiana which do not observe Sunday
as the Sabbath. Each sect would then be
free to practice its religion according to
the dictates of its own conscience, with
out the interference of the law making
certain day a religious holiday.
The proba bilities are that this remarka-
bic demand has no very strong backing
among the people. 1t no doubt sprang from
the saloon keepers, variety show mana.
gers, dive keepers and other consistent and
persistent Sabbath breakers of New Or
leans. They find the laws as at present
constituted to be rather prejudicial to their
business. They desire to keep open house
all the week long, and all the year round.
They do not care for the sentiments OF
Christian people. and wish to be unham-
pered by the restrictions which God-fear-
ing people deem it necessary to put upon
weak human nature. Having personally no
respect for Sunday, these people are max
ing an effort to be relieved of the necessity
for an outward show of respect for that
day.
A considerable proportion Of the popula-
ton of New Orleans is made up of foreign
ers. In many of the countries of Europe
Sunday is not observed as we observe It
IN TINS country. Ihere tney hold pOntlcai
meetings. and elections. and races, and
bull fights on Sunday. They attend the
theater, and frequent concert beer gar
dens, and ride to the hounds on Sunday
The New Orleans foreigners have brought
their ideas of Sunday to this country with
them. 1t is to be remarked. however, that
while Sunday observance in some of the
countries of Europe may seem to us to
be remarkably lax, nevertheless every
country in Christendom recognizes the day
in some form or other and to a greater or
less degree sets it apart from the other
days. An effort was made in France dur
ing the Reign of Terror" to abolish Sun
] day observance, but the effort was only
temporarily successful;the observance was
restored by Napoleon. 1t would probably
be risking nothing however to say that
the anti-Sunday movement in Louisiana
win not even be temporarily successful,
The religious spirit of the people will not
| permit it.

why the nanta1n WON.

1.-THE meanest man ever knowed." said
sport to the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, was chicken fighter. Now, 1 amt
saying nothing against chicken fighting,
for 1 think it is all right. but 1 mean TO
say that this man wasn't a straight chick
en- fighter. Anything went with him. All
he wanted to do was 10 win have knowed
him 10 have a rooster that he couldn't get
no fight with, because the rooster would
whip anything; and 1 have knowed him to
paint that rooster blue so as to get up n
scrap Well, the worst thing he ever did
l shall remember to my dying day.
BILL that was his name, was with a loe
of US fellows one day when we were talk
ing about heavyweight game cock thai
Rad been beating everything in the pit.
oh, that rooster amt so warm, said Bill,
in careless fashion. I've got a little
game bantam that will kill him in the frs,
round. This made the sport who owned
the chicken mad. He and Bill got to gas
ing and passing gags, until they made up
a fight The sport he said he would be-
$500, but Bill he said that $500 was too
small and that he wouldn't go in for moth
ing less than sl,OOO
They fixed up the scrap, and one Sun
day lot of US sports met behind an old
stable. Well sir, you oughter have heard
them fellows laugh when they seed Bills
rooster. He was a stumpy little bantam,
hardly high enough to touch the other
ROSTERS chin comb unless he jumped We
laughed and laughed, and guyed Bill. buI
Bill ne didn't say nothing. He was just
holding his little bantam under the stom-
ach and rubbing him on the head. Who's
holding the money! was all that Bill said.
Wen, sir, | wasn't member of the So
ciety that tries to stop ROSTERS from being

that little rooster go up against the big
Fellow. Bill and the rich sport first held
the chickens together TO let them peck at
each other and get their spunk up. and
then they put them on the ground. The
big rooster looked at the bantam a min
ute as If he would fall on him and crush
him to death. Both of the birds wore
those long gaffs like needles. Wei, sir.
the big rooster made a pass and missed,
and then suddenly We seed bantam dig a
left-hander in the big birds wing Nobody
thought nothing of that, but when time
was called the big rooster put his head
down and just keeled over Bantam stood
up on his body and crowed
Wen, BILL took the money; but we got
to thinking that it was mighty funny that
a rooster could be killed so easy, so we
looked at him, picked off his feathers. and
found he was turning black. Bill had put
a strong poison on the bantam's gaffs. SO

Higher Insurance.

The Southeastern Tariff Association has
ordered the insurance rates in this city in
creased ten per cent. on all new policies.
That is a pretty heavy tax upon the peo-
pie. Is 1t not about time that it was known.
with some degree of certainty, whether or
not the fire department is to blame for the
costly fires? DO the insurance people think
the fire department is badly managed? In
the last fire on the Bay. was the fire de-
partment to blame for the loss of the
Conklin building and its valuable contents?
If that building could not have been saw
ed We don't want the fire department
blamed for Its loss, but the question ought
to be settled as TO whether there was bad
management or not. 1t hurts the city to be
continually nagged by the insurance COM
panies.
But what justice is there in putting an
additional insurance tax of ten per cent.
upon dwelling houses and household goods?
The Insurance people know that it
is seldom that a fire of any considerable
proportions occurs in the residence por-
ton Of the city. OF late. all the big fires
have occurred on the river front. Why
make the owners of residence property pay
for negligence or misfortune in the BUSH
ness section? Why not put the additional
burden only on the class of property in
which the losses occur? That would be the
fair way of dealing with the situation.
Putting the burden where it belongs would
make those who are careless in protecting
their property against fire more watchful.
That method of treating towns in which
be very effective; and it is a just method.
In insurance, those having only light
risk should not be made to bear a part of
the burden of those who are exposed to a
great danger.

Those sensational Northern newspapers
which from time to time. when there is a
dearth of news arording narrowing de-
tails" print terrifying stories Of South
ern convict camps, might ind something
of interest to them by turning their atten-
ton to the Essex County Truant School
in Massachusetts,. Agent Walton of the
state board of education went to investi-
gate the school a short time ago. Among
other things he says he saw zone boy
with a horse weight and chain tied to
his feet and hands, and two other boys
confined in a small cellar and tied togeth-
er by a chain" There Is also the mate
rial for a splendid horror story at Beck
ct, in Berkshire county, in the same state
Agent Walton says that in the truant
school at that place he found hanging on
the wall a rawhide whip, ball and chain
and handouts, while in the yard he saw
small boy walking around with a ball
and chain locked to his feet. The con-
victed felons in the South may sometimes
have pretty rough road to travel; but
in the South children are not loaded with
ball and chain under the auspices of the
school authorities.

The President Condemned.

The refusal of the committee on COM
merce by a unanimous vote to report ia
vorably the nomination of Henry Demas
for naval officer at New Orleans is a con-
demnation of the President. The commit
tee, largely composed of the Presidents
friends, would not have taken such a de-
cided stand against Demas If the proof
submitted to sustain the charges against
him had not been Overwhelming. In the
whole South there is not another politi-
clan so VIGOROUSLY corrupt as Demas. The
fact that he is a negro had no weight of
consequence with the committee on COM
merce If he had possessed a good char
acter his nomination would have been con-
firmed without much trouble. But all the
evidence went to show that during a long
political career he had been VIGOROUSLY
untrustworthy. had been guilty of many
acts of perfidy and treachery, had been a
bribe-taker and the paid agent of the
Louisiana Lottery Company while serving
as a legislator and had been true to no
principles, no party and no faction.
The President knew the sort of man
Demas was before he nominated him. He
had been told by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis of Louisiana that there was not in
the whole of that state man more unfit
for public office, and yet he nominated
him for an office of great trust and profit
And why did he do it ? Simply because, if
reports are correct, Demas deserted Speak
err Reed at st. Louis and voted for him
He had been chosen as a Reed delegate
and. it is alleged, had accepted money
from the Reed leaders. He went over TO
Mr.. Mckinley because, 1t is said, the naval
Office was promised to him in the event Of
Mr.. NcKinleys election.
There may be those who commend the
President for paying his political debts,
but what right has a man who seeks the
high office of President to make political
debts which amount 10 a national scandal?
On what ground can a man justify him
self for using corrupt men to get himself
elected President. or having been elected
President, how can he expect to have the
respect of the people if he knowingly puts
into offices of honor and profit men of no.
torlously bad character? On no ground
can the President be excused for nominate
ing Demas naval officer at New Orleans.
He lowered himself in the estimation of
the country when he forced him upon an
unwilling community at New Orleans.
