ECONOMY AND ROADS.

There has been up to the present
much desultory law making, some of
which will be for the advantage of the
country, and some may, perhaps,
prove abortive. Both Senate and House
have tried their hands upon the work,
but the main thing that is before the
Legislature is the appropriations. In
the present condition of affairs, be-
You'd what is absolutely necessary or
beyond such tentative acts as Repre-
sentative Robertson's income tax bill,
from which valuable information can
be obtained for extended legislation
two years hence. there should be as
little change as possible. Much time
has been wasted upon attempts to
change certain articles in the Consti-
tuition which have been really brought
in, not with any hope that they will
carry, but simply for effect upon GER
tain classes of constituents.
The Senate has practically complet-
ed its work upon the Appropriation
bills, and they will soon be before the
House. The latter is of an economical
turn of mind, and there will doubtless
be considerable pairing down when
the bills come up for discussion.
The fact that the pay roll, the mere
list of salaries paid by the Govern
ment, amounts to near S., OOO. 900, is one
that appeals to those who represent
the people, and those who, like the
Minister of Finance, have the disburse-
ment of the funds. But when the
matter is analysed down, it is found
that far from being over-crowded, the
various departments are somewhat
undetermined. This is the case in the
Board of Health for instance, where
there is ample work for a secretary
and a book-keeper, and where at the
present time the two offices are cont
bined into one, and there are several
others.
But be the cases what they may be,
there is no doubt that it will take
strong argument and careful investi-
cation to prove to the House the ne
cessity for any addition to our pres
ent enormous pay roll. Of course part
of the size of our pay roll is caused
by the fact of the Islands being separ-

From an interview published in
these columns today, it is evident that
every effort will be made to prevent Il
war between the United States and
Spain, by the financial magnates of
the world. 1t is true that these have
time and again averted war in the last
decades of this century, but even Jhey
cannot hold nation when it breaks
loose and will have war at any price.
This is the case with Spain Just now,
as it was with Greece a few months
ago That the fight may be hopeless
has nothing to do with il. 1t is fight
or a downfall of the Ministry. In
truth Spain can only get out of her
difficulties by being thrashed by a
greater power, and she is willing to
take the chance. Then again the war
spirit is strong in the United States,
with with such elements in the air the
lightning is likely to flash.

and Other Matters.
Aldermen T. ]. Davis, John w. Smith,
and Commissioner of Public Works Will
link, returned yesterday from Augusta,
where they went to inspect paving of the
same material as that being used on a
number of streets in Savannah. They
wanted to see how it was laid. its appar-
ent durability. and to get pointers gener-
ally.
The Augusta officials received the COM
mittee kindly, showed it every courtesy in
looking over the various streets, and gave
the desired information The paving on
Green and Ellis, the principal streets in
Augusta, was closely examined The COM
mlttee is convinced, however, that it is fol-
lowing the right lines in the paving here,
since the asphalt and gravel paving both,
is far superior TO that generally found else
where The committee is well pleased with
what 1t saw in Augusta, however, and was
impressed with the street Improvements
being made there
Alderman Davis took a ride in his buggy
just after the rain yesterday over the new
Bull street paving to see how the rain af-
fected it. He found the surface had con-
sldorably hardened, and the rain served to
wash it, making a smooth, clean surface
The drainage is all right, he said. Alder
man Davis still holds to his belief that

FEW PYTHrANs WILL sUFFER.
Small Number From Endowment
Rank Gone to War.

Hnnk Gone to War.
There has been little comment In Savan-
nah's Knights of Pythias circles over the
notice issued by the board of control of the
endowment rank of the order multiplying
the policies of members who have Joined
the army.
Under this order those holding policies
in the endowment rank forfeit their GER
tificatos and all claims under them the
moment they enter the army or navy.
Membership with full rights is restored
to them upon their discharge from active
service, provided they can present a ply
sicians certificate that they are in good
health, having sustained no injury or con-
tracted any chronic disease while in SER
vice.
Among the Savannahians who entered
the army are number who are members
of the knights of Pythias, probably a score
or more Out Of these, though, 1t is doubt
full, it is said If there are more than two
or three who hold insurance policies in the
endowment rank
Mr. w. T. Leopold, Grand Keeper of
Records and Seals, stated last night that
the number was very limited. From other
sections, where the endowment rank has
a large membership, the number who have
entered the army may be of such magni-
tude as to render the matter of continuing
their policies one of vital importance.
1t is useless to compare our endow-
ment rank with the regular life insurance
companies" he said. 1--WE aim to give
cheap vet absolutely safe insurance con
fined within the order. The rates are low
expenses are held down to minimum. and
the policies are worth their face value
in the event of death. II was never con-
templated that those taking advantage of
the endowment rank to obtain cheap
financial protection for their families
should enter the army.
Especial provision was made In the rule
FORGETTING policies, or certificates, in the
event of holders entering the army or
navy in time of war. This was done to
protect the system of insurance and was
a wise and proper precaution. The rule is
not a new one sprung to meet a special
occasion. There Is no room for criticism
or condemnation. If the rule We're not en-
forced extra burdens might have to be
imposed on other certificate holders and
the whole plan of the endowment rank
disarranged."
There are said to be about $1,000 knights
who are in the endowment rank. AS
rule, they are men of families, and not of
the class who rush into war service under
such conditions as exist at present.

Contest of the Season of 1S9S.
The first of the series of seven matches.
between teams of the Forest City Club of
Savannah, and the Palmetto Club of
charleston, for the shot gun champion
ehip Of 1898, and the handsome silver cup
presented the clubs by the f. c. Powder
company, was shot on the grounds of the
home club.
The result was a rather easy victory
Tor the Forest City team, by the score of
ZS9 to 277 The conditions of the contest
require seven matches with teams of eight
men from each club, fifty targets per
man. the shoots taking place alternately on
the grounds of the two clubs every two
weeks during the summer
The shooting on the first meeting was
much below the average. The wind blew
IN gusts over the traps, making the flight
OF the targets very irregular, and puzzling
10 the shooter. The Charlestonians yy,ara
further handicapped by two of their crack
men getting left by the train, their places
