NO MIsQLOTATION.

Last July the Savannah Morning News,
which represents the Associated Press at
Savannah. sent a dispatch TO Washington
misquoting the official reports of the gov
eminent engineer in charge of our harhor
improvements and misstating the depth of
water at this port-Charleston News and
Courier.
The Savannah Morning News did no
such thing. On June Is, 1885, an Associat-
ed Press dispatch, bearing a Washing
ton date line, which slated that "Savan-
nah has from IS to 20 feet, (of wateD, and
Charleston about q feet at mean low
water" was sent out to and printed in the
papers taking the Associated Press re-
ports. Clearly the inference to be drawn
from the dispatch was that Savannah had
no more than IS to 20 feet of water at
any time, while Charleston had q feet at
mean low water.
The statement was so grossly unjust to
Savannah that the Morning News felt
called upon to correct it; not for the pur-
pose of directing attention to the short
coming of Charleston, but in order to cor
rect any erroneous impression which
might have been created respecting the
depth of water at Savannah.
The charts in the office of the United
States engineer in this city were exam
ined and the official figures of soundings,
taken from those charts, were given on
June 16, in a dispatch of correction sent
to the Associated Press by the Morning
News. In this dispatch comparison was
made with the port of Charleston, for the
reason that the original dispatch had in
sututed such a comparison to the detri-
ment of Savannah. If those figures showed
less water than Charleston claimed IL was
the fault Of the government engineers
who made the surveys and soundings. or
the misfortune of Charleston. If there
was any Misrepresentation, it was by i'm
partial and unprejudioed government Of
fcials and not by the Morning News

Yes. sir, I'm Gen. RandalPs cook out
here, and cooked for Gen. Wheeler down
at Santiago They started up the battle,
but 1 cooked ahead just the same a few
hundred yards back of the fighting.
Mauser bullets sailed over the kitchen, but
I cooked on. A shell dropped into the
fire and blew things all over the place,
but cooked on just the same. Never got

whenever he wanted it,

thing when a ball burst right between us.
You know those Spanish balls explode.
Didn't you know that? Well, they do.
IT'S getting pretty hot here, Cosby
said Mr. Chanler.
Yes, sir, said I, It's gettin' pretty
hot. But we went on talking just the
same He said he'd give me a job to
cook up in New York any time l wanted
it. He was a fine man, Mr. Chanler was.
did you shoot any Spaniards, Cosby?'
1 asked.
"Only shot one Spaniard; had to shoot
him or he'd stopped my cooking. He was
painted green up in a tree SO we couldn' t
tell him from the leaves. After awhile one
of the boys saw him, and I guess there
must have been forty holes through that
Spaniard before he got down. made one
of the holes"

One of the issues of the campaign in In
diana is pair of pants, says the Washing
ton Post. County Commissioner McGregor,
who resides in Indianapolis, is the owner
of the garment which has made the prob
lens of Imperialism and the currency sink
into insignihcance. All indianapolis has
been agitated over McGregor's pants, and
a committee is now engaged in inVeStgat-
ing their antecedents.
Mr.. McGregor is a candidate for re-eles-
ton, and when he had the nomination safe
in hand he needed the suggestion of Polo
MUS to LaerteS, that apparel often makes
the man, and invested In the pair of pants
which We're destined to create a louder SEN
sation than he thought. Mr.. McGregor be-
lieved he was patronizing union dealer,
but it subsequently developed that the
in a non-union shop A lynx-eyed Demo-
cratic leader had suspected this from the
cut of the trousers, and followed up the
clew until the shameful truth was reveal
ed in all its nakedneSs. The Central La
Dor Union of indianapolis, which repre-
sents several hundred voters Immediately
took the matter up. Eloquent and fiery
speeches were made with the McGregor
pants as the theme, and a resolution was
passed calling upon organized labor to rise
as one man and vote against McGregor
The unlucky politician heard the news
in despair. He took off the pants which
had been his undoing, and set to work.
After much pleading and wire-workng,
and reference to his painless state, he
secured a revocation of the resolution in
so far that a committee was appointed 20
further investigate the charge. The COM
mittee has not yet made its report.
