Some time ago Congressman James
Hamilton Lewis of Washington charged
in a speech that there was connivance
and jobbery in the purchase of vessels for
the auxiliary navy. He named instances
in which he said extortionate prices had
been paid to owners of vessels who were
tavoriles of certain persons in Washing
ton. Secretary Long is TO make full re-
port on the matter of purchases for the
auxiliary navy in his annual report, stat
ing prices paid for every craft and the de-
tails attending the purchase. 1t is said 1t
VIII appear that The sums paid were IN
the main reasonable, and that the gov
eminent declined to purchase craft whose
owners sought to take advantage % the
necessities Of the situation

The Work of Congress.
From the Washington Post Qnd.'

The Fifty-sixth Congress will have more
important work to do than has devolved
on any Congress in the last quarter of a
century. Saying nothing about any ques-
ton of coinage or currency it is evident
that recent events have devolved the grav-
est responsibilities on the national legis-
lature. The Fifty-sixth Congress will ex>
pire by limitation on March 4, 1899 II
could not, if it would, dispose of much
of the business that will confront it. Can
patriotic Americans ignore the nation in
a campaign that is to fill all the seats in
the national House of Representatives and
one-third of the seats in the Senate? We
do not believe they can or win do that
even in the enemys country"

No, esteemed News and Courier, the
five-masted schooner, Gov Ames, did not
"saip' from this city on Wednesday of last
week, as was reported" to you by some
unnamed person. Had you taken the trou-
BILE to look in the shipping columns Of the
Morning News you would have found cor
rect information relative to the move
ments of the vessel. But it seems that
you preferred to take the casual state
ment of gentleman who happened to
be in Savannah" and for whose accuracy
you declined to vouch, in preference 10
authoritative statements. In other words.
you were more anxious to make pos
sible point against the port Of Savannah
than to be accurate.

Leave Partisanship Aside.
From the Chattanooga Times (Dem.,

AS a matter of fact. there was no politl-
cal partisan business in the war. McKin-
ley bore himself, as a man and patriot
ought, in such an emergency, evenly be-
tween parties and factions. He showed
no favors, that we can discover. The
one high officer who seems to have cause
OF real complaint against the war depart
ment is Gen Miles. and he and Secre-
tary Alger have both been more or less
pronounced and prominent candidates for
President before Republican conventions.
There were as many quarrels between Of
flcers who were of the same party in civil
life, as there were quarrels that crossed
party lines.
We suppose il will be found impossible
to keep out of the several Investigations
OF the war all illusions to party, but pa
triots will not be edited by the Juggling
in of such considerations.

The voting of the Democrats Of Geor-
gia to-day Will not have for its sole pur-
pose the election of the Democratic can
didates. It's further purpose will be to
scotch the snake of fusion between the
Republicans and Populists before it at
tains further growth. What fusion
means 10 a Southern state is TO be seen
in the example Of North Carolina. Geor-
sians want no such state of affairs here.

Dewey was advised of Camara's pro-
jected expedition to Manila, and by the
time the Spaniard had entered the Suez
canal the American had all of his plans
made for the prospective fight. Fast steel
freighters were to be used as rams to cut
down the Spanish vessels, and Dewey s
ships were to smother them with their
rapid fire. The odds in available fight
ing power would have been in favor of
the Spaniards, but there is not much
doubt that Dewey's veterans would have
added another victory to their credit.

a recent law in South Carolina, all trains

buled, thus saving the expense of the ex-

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-10-05

The current year has been hard one
on the farming interests in this section
of the country, and especially on the rice
and cotton planters. On the Savannah
and Ogeechee rivers the rice has been
practically wiped out. The August storm
started the destruction, and that of last
Sunday completed it. It is to be feared
that many of the small planters, especial
ly among the colored people, have lost
about everything upon which they de-
pended for subsistence. The blow to the
larger planters was severe but with them
it will not amount to a matter of some
thing to eat, as in the case of the unfortu-
nate blacks. In the sea island cotton belt,
and in the upland fields also, the cotton
that was open and ready for harvest was
torn from the bolls by wind and driving
rain and covered with water and mud,
thus running it. The percentage of the
crop lost does not appear yet, but it is
evident that it will be very large.

The red man is a convenient scapegoat
out West. He is now being blamed for the
forest fires in Colorado. While the Indian

to give even Old Nick his dues. 1t is just
as likely that the fires were started BY
careless white hunters as that they were
the work Of revengeful Indians.

From the Charleston Post Dem.

Savannah is ahead of Charleston this
year. She has a larger cotton trade than
Charleston and she Sent more soldier to
the war than we sent. She has secured
the army hospital, and she has had two
big storms. Charleston hasn't even had a
good shake. Possibly that is the trouble
with us.

At a meeting yesterday afternoon
the members of the street and alley

was the subject of much discussion in
the committee and ways and means
were discussed of running the street de-

months of the municipal year.
At the beginning Of the present mu-
