Two Pointed oues,lons Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for itP
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
SO that while our profits may be smaller
on single scale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
Ii both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to
be tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.

stop to the talk from Cushman K.
Davis in favor of league between
this country, England and Japan.
England is not the sort of a nation
which would enter into an offensive
and defensive alliance in time of
peace with any country. Still less is
the United States a nation which
would, in the absence, as at present,
of all shadow of outside pressure, tie
its hands by such a compact, even
with England. There is a strong
probability that the relations between
the two countries will be harmonious
hereafter. Certainly everybody in
this country hopes they will be so.
An alliance, however, would not pre-
vent discord if there was a spirit
which tended in that direction IN
both countries. An alliance can al
ways be evaded if there is desire to
escape it, but an understanding based
on common interests and aspirations,
as at present, will be binding without
any formal agreement. The alliance
talk will find no favor in the United
States.

If Grover Cleveland had gone
south when he was president, and
made speech declaring that the
nation should care for the confederate
dead. and worn the badge of con-
federate veteran, Grand, Army posts
would not have passed resolutions
commencing his acts. a different
song would have been sung. The
difference is due in part 10 the more
cordial feeling which has arisen be-
tween the north and the south as re-
suit of the recent war, and largely to
the fact that President Mckinley,
having fought with the union armies,
has better right to be magnanimous
than the president who hired a sub

CoRDELIA TO DEPART TO-DAY.

Her Visit One of Pleasure.

The British warship Cordelia will bid
Savannah farewell to-day after having
been here nearly a week. From Savan-
nah the Cordelia will go to Bermuda.
Capt. Bourkes original intention was to
go to Port Royal, but he found that he
could save time by making the trip to
Fort Royal and return by tug and did so,
his object being to inspect the naval sta
ton and dry dock there
II would be hard to say whether the
Cordelia has furnished more entertain
ment for Savannah or whether Savannah
has furnished more entertainment for the
officers and crew. The affair has been a
mutual one and entirely satisfactory to
both sides, it is to be hoped. The Cordelia
seems TO have grown in popularity each
day of her stay. The ship was simply
deluged with visitors yesterday afternoon
and il was necessary to frequently check

stationed at the gangway kept count of

is THE INCREASE BoNAFIDns
Mr.. MendeI Says Policies Are Being
Written at the Old Rate.

Written at the Old Rate.
There is some conjecture whether the
recent raise of 10 per cent in insurance
rates is bona fide, inasmuch as property
owners in Savannah are receiving notices
of expiration with the old rate attached.
Two cases have come to the notice of
Mr.. Selig Mendel, agent and owner of ex-
tensive real estate. where tariff associa-
ton companies have failed to add the in
crease in one and reduced the rate in the
other.
THE fact is, the tariff association does
not seem to be increasing the rate gener-
ally" he said. 1T seems to be applying ii
in some instances, and in others not. ]
am agent for a party owning property in
the southern section of the city, and re-
ceived a slip the other day notifying me
of the expiration of policy The property
is valued at $3.50, and was insured last at
50 cents on the 500. l fully expected tho
raise, but found to my surprise that
tariff association company wanted to write
the insurance at the same rate. 1 had ar
ranged to get the property insured at
less rate, however. My belief is that the
agent knew 1 would place my insurance
elsewhere if the rate were raised and did
not want to take the chances.
There is gross Injustice in the increase,
anyway" MIR. Mendel continued. "as it
is claimed to be applied to dwellings, as
well as business property. There is little
question but the insurance companies do
not lose 10 cents on the 800 written south
of Broughton street, and the way the ra
is now applied simply means that the resi-
dence portion of the city pays for the
business losses"
Another instance was given by Mr.. Men
del where rate was made by a Compel
ing company and the tariff association
company, he said, not only did not apply
the increase, but reduced the premium to
meet the competitor.
IF insurance companies are losing
money in Savannah, they should use more
care in what property they insure Mr..
Mendel said. IF great risks are taken
or they hang up 5000 policy on a 5000
stock of goods, losses must be expected
sooner or later. Consideration should be
given to both the moral and physical side
of risks

SITES TO DE SELECTED.
batteries to Command the Entrance
to warsaw Sound to Be Placed.

Within a comparatively short time ar
rangements will be made for the proper
defense of the approach to the city by
way of Warsaw sound and the Whining
ton river. 1t is understood the war de-
partment has had this matter under con-
alteration, though no definite plans have
been adopted. In case of emergency, how
ever, there is no doubt that a fortifca-
ton could be rugged up in pretty short
order.
Capt. c. z. Gillette and Mayor p w.
Meldrim will take a trip down the Will
mington river within a few days for the
purpose of considering and deciding on the
proper sites for batteries. Some parties
owning property along the river have gen.
eTously offered TO donate sites to the gov
ernment free of charge for the purpose Of
erecting Notifications, and if these sites
prove suitable for the purpose some of
them will no doubt be accepted.
1t could not be ascertained just what Is
contemplated with regard 10 the defenses
of this approach to the city. Beyond the
fact that he and Mayor Meldrim would
make a trip down the river for the purpose
of considering sites for batteries, Capt.
Gillette said he was not a liberty to give
any further information at the present
time. He said, however, that it was not
likely that any Spanish gunboat would get
up to the city by that route.
Considering the shallowness of the
channel in that river, comparatively
speaking, very heavy batteries for its de-
Tense VIII not be required. Only gunboats
OF light draught can come in that way,
and such boats could no doubt be handled
very well with five or six-incn guns,
especially as the range would be COM
paratively close, should such a boat at
tempt to enter the channel in the face of
batteries on either side.
1t is likely that one of the batteries
would be put near the entrance to War
saw sound to prevent even the entrance
of any hostile boat. Mines also might be
laid in the channel ready to be exploded
at the opportune moment. Assurance has
been given that the defense of this APP
proach to the city Will be looked after,
and there does not appear to be any rea-
son for uneasiness.
