DThe result of the congressional
election is significant. For the first
time since 1870 the country lInmistsit-
ably sustains the administration at the
congressional election of the off year.
In 1874, 1878, 1882, 1890 and 1894 the
party represented by the administra-
ton lost the house by slaughter of it's
members overwhelmingly. while in
1856 :he democratic loss, though not
disastrous, was severe and sufficiently
to warn the administration and it's
party of the fate to surely overtake
both in the national election of 1883.
The elections of this week disclosed
that the country is likely to elect
republican president and congress in

Experiments seem to show that a.
large ocean steamer, going at 10knots
an hour, will move distance of two
miles after its engines are stopped and
reversed, and no authority gives less
han mile to mile and a half as the,
required space to stop its progress.
The violent collisions in some cases
during fogs may thus be accounted for.

UBryanism was badly worsted in
the election. Free silver did not win
in single state or district where a
fight was made on that line. In the
east the sr-nd money men had every
thing thar own way. and ir the west
where the free silver majorities of '96
were not wiped out, they were cut in
two. Colorado. which gave Bryan 1884,
6S2 majority two years ago, gave the
Bryan candidate for govsouor only 50,-

him $4,000 majority, now goes repub-
llcan by about 10000. Bryan and Bry-

In either one of two ways the election
will kill silver. 1t will frighten the pop
ocrats into dropping it in 1900, or it
will render them desperate, impel them
to cut loose from the east, which has
abandoned them, and force them to
make last rally on that issue. In
either case silverism has got its deaf tn
blow. On that issue every state east of
the Alleghenies is as solidly republican
as Pennsylvania or Massachusetts.
Moreover, the west, as the recent re-
turns show, is breaking away from the
base money party, and can never be re.
lied on again to roll up a majority for
the sixteen to one folly. 1t can never
poll as many votes again as it cast IL

low figures. Bryan's dupes have learned
something in the past two years. II

party and the country if the democrats
take up silver two years hence. It will
give the republicans an easy victory,
and knock that issue out of politics for
ever.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

call of the umpire-"play balP'-will be
heard and the. season of the new Southern
League win be on. In just one month the
season win open.
Certainly the prospects for a successful
season were never brighter than they are
now. The league seems TO be in an I'M
usually strong condition. The organiza-
ton is complete and everything has been
done in a business-like way. Every city
in the league is represented by RESPONSE
BILE people and If the league is not a sue
cess 1T will be a disappointment to thoas
base ball men of the South who have
been endeavoring for years to organize a
successful Southern league.
BY the end of this week all of the play
ers of the Savannah team will probably
be in Savannah. Manager Huston is pre-
pairing TO send out tickets now and the
players will come on as soon as they ew
their railway fares
Huston, Beecher and Meaney have been
limbering up at the park, but they will
not do any hard work until the balance
of the team arrives. Director Stewart is
pushing the work on the park and in two
weeks it win be finished. new stand

another stand of bleachers will be built
and the field will be leveled and rolled
Besides this the fence will be almost en-
tirely rebuilt as some of it is in bad con-

be one of the finest in the South.
Both the Baltimore and Chicago teams
will be seen here in exhibition games and
other of the big league clubs which are
training In this section may be induced to
come to Savannah. Baltimore will be
here March 26, % and 20, and Chicago
will be here April for one game. 1t is
likely however, that Chicago may be in
dueed to stay for three games The Colts
Will arrive in Waycross to-day or to-mor-
row. They have been training at West
Baden Springs, Ind, for ten. days and left
that place yesterday. They will not pass

From the Irwin Standard.
We have always been firm believer
in phrenology We believe that mans
character is determined by the bumps, on

said pro and con about phrenology. Phre-
nology is a science which shows mans
character by the crags and chasms, the
depressions and the efsvices, the crevasses

that by this means it can be ascertained
If your father was ever in jail for stealing
sheep or if any of your ancestry We're
hanged, and what for, and If you would
be a murderer if not too much of a cow
ard, and if you pay your debts, and If
you patronize home trade or senS TO the
city for your groceries, and If you pay
for your whisky or sponge it off your
friends.
We went to a phrenologist once. It was
when we were young and innocent, before
our heart had been hardened by coming
in contact with newspaper men and learn
ing to lie and dodge our creditors. Well,
he ran his fingers which were not of the
cleanest, through our flowing locks and
fingered over bumps. The bumps are
there yet, but the flowing locks have de-
parted. Before he began We asked him
his price for examination. He said it de-
pended on the size of d mans brain. If
il was a good, big, healthy brain the
charge was 81, but where the brain was
prominent by it's absence the charge
would be only % cents.
He told us some things that We're very
true. He said we We're fond of work. Now
that was correct. We always liked work
so well that we allowed it to pile up
around us just for company. We never
did any for fear we would be without it.
He also said we were generous True
again. We never gave our wife dime
and then flung it up to her, and we never
took a penny out of the contribution bas-
ket at church when it was taken up for
the benefit of the needy.
He said he could tell us all about our
ancestry and would do so for an extra
quarter, but we refused, as the least said
about our ancestry the better for all con-
cerned. True, some of our ancestry had
a family tree. but II was not the kind of
tree that a man would be proud of or,
with tears, ask the woodsman to spare
We know a good many people whose an
cestors had that kind of a tree, and if
they had their just deserts they would be
up the same tree. There is not the least
doubt in our mind that the phrenologist
is a benefactor to his race and fills O
niche in life as we'll as the bearded wo-
man, the living skeleton. the fat man or
the tattooed man.

TOO Much Realism.
From The London Daily New


An enterprising young Portuguese CONF
poser, who dreams of founding a new
school of music of the future, has intro-
duced new instrument into the orches-
ira. 1t is pistol. In a realistic in-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" opera from his
pen played at one of the minor theaters
OF Lisbon, the audience, after hearing
strange sounds from the ordinary in
struments, were startled by the loud re-
port of a pistol going off. There was a
rush to the doors, as it was thought
some anarchist was present. In vain did
the young composer come forward to ex-
plain that he had devised a new artistic
method OF musical description. num-
Der of persons were trampled upon in the
rush, and more or less injured. The Lis
bon newspapers advise their readers to
keep away from performances of the
masterpieces Of the new genius on the
ground that another time an instrumento-
descriptive battle scene may introduce
real cannon balls and bomb shells.

GOOD WORD ron THE KAISER.
German Ruler said to BE "a Much Ma
1igned Monarch.


From the London Illustrated News.
OF late it has become the fashion with a
section of the English press-and neither
the least well-informed nor the least re-
fined-to deride everything Kaiser wilhelm
ii does. / have serious doubts about the
wisdom of such a proceeding, apart from
all considerations OF the courtesy due TO
a powerful sovereign, who, whatever his
defects, mas never by single act for
feited the esteem of the civilized nations
at large, and whose private character will
bear comparison with that of any ruler
ancient or modern. Even the censorious
Berliners admit that there is not a better
father or husband anywhere.
/ am aware that the unfortunate and
impetuous telegram In connection with the
Jameson raid has alienated English SYM
pathy. But there were and there are thou
sands of Englishmen who privately
thought that Wilhelm conveyed-that this
wonderful expedition, mainly wonderful
in its tiasco, was wanton aggression on
a peaceful people, justified by no patriotic
motives but inspired by motives of a pure
ly commercial character, and that it de-
served to fail. The simple advantage those
Englishmen had over Wilhelm was tina,
they were able to hold their tongues al a
very exciting moment. Their brains are
probably not as active as those of the
German Emperor, and the safety valve in
the way of speech or manifesto ia not
necessary TO them. For Wilhelm's actiy-
ity and capacity for work are literally pro.
digious. In winter and summer he is our
OF bed at 8, and after his bath and His
breakfast he sits down az his writing table
at $50.
