The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-12-28

1t transpires that 1t was a joke that
cost Chicago the Republican National Con-
vention. Il was understood that St Louis
would vote for Chicago If 1t became APP
parent that she could not secure the con-
yention for herself; but when one of the
Chicago delegates made his speech in ad-
Vocaey Of his city's claims. he poo-pooed
81. Louis and worked in ell the old chest
nut jokes that he had heard about that
city. Finally he asserted that St. Louis
was only suburb of Chicago, anyhow.
And that made Col. Dick" Kerens of
the river city fighting mad. Figura-
lively speaking, he shucked his coat to
give Chicago a thrashing for i'll manners;
and he had the pleasure of announcing
that he cast the vote which sent the
convention to Philadelphia. 1t is a wise
politician who knows how to select his
jokes.

AN INCOMPETENT NINE BOSS.

The shocking accident in which so many
men lost their lives in the Braznell mine
at Uniontown, Pa, the other day was due
to the incompetency or negligence OF one
OF the mine bosses. Incompetency or care
lessness causes a large percentage of the
d sastrous accidents in mines, on railroads
and in mills. Our dispatches last Sunday
contained an account of a horrible rail-
road accident, in which a number of lives
were lost, that was caused by an incom-
petent telegraph operator. The operator
was a substitute. His competency, it is
safe to say, was not inquired into. He per-
mitted a freight train that should have
been side tracked to go by the station. 1t
colided with the oncoming express.
The mine boss who is responsible for
the mine disaster at Uniontown ordered
open lights and unlocked safety lamps to
be taken into the mine, Notwithstanding
there were regulations against such
proceeding. His only excuse for the order
was that he thought there was no danger
in taking open lights or unlocked safety
lamps into the mine. He did not know
whether there was or not. He did not take
the trouble to investigate. He knew that
the mine had been in dangerous condi-
ton, because efforts had been made TO
remove the cause of danger 1t was his
duty to make an investigation before send
ing the miners into the mine under condi-
lions which were dangerous. The law
ought TO be so that such men as this mine
boss could be severely punished for care
lessness that caused loss of life or injury
to persons or property.

THE TRADE SITUATION.
1t Is One of Quiet Observation-Disclosures
Are Almost Uniformly Good.


Are Almost Uniformly Good.
Bradstreet's views the trade situation
thus: 1.-The situation is one of quiet, sus-
tanned strength. In wholesale distributive
trade annual inventories have occupied
attention, and distribution in this branch
is, therefore, of only seasonable proper
tons. Retail trade reflects the quieting
down Of the eager demand ruling before
the holidays, but it is significant that the
majority of the reports received since Jan.
l in this and in the wholesale branch refer
to collections as almost uniformly good.
Export trade, particularly in cereals, con-
tinues well up to maximum figures, while
reports from the new great industries of
the country are favorable. Bank clear
ings for the week reflect exceptionally
heavy annual settlements in a total of
$1,760, 900, 900, nearly $4,000, 900 larger
than ever before reported. Wheat, includ
ing -four, shipments for the week aggre-
gate 6,S60,26S bushels, against 6,292, 625
bushels last week. Corn exports for the
week aggregate 4, S+4 2SS bushels, against
$3.50, 745 bushels last week"

cLEMENcY TOWARD INDIANS.

Mckinley Pardons the troublesome
Leech Lake Red Men.
The President has pardoned the twelve
Leech Lake Indians, sentenced to varl-
Gus terms of Imprisonment and fined at
the late term of the United States District
Court for Minnesota for resisting the
United States marshal in making an ar
rest. In his recommendation of pardon
the Attorney General says: "The law has
now been indicated and the power of the
Government established by the stern and
severe lesson administered. In my judg-
ment no further punishment is necessary
to enforce the respect of the Indians for
the authority of the Federal court, and
believe that executive clemency shown at
this time will be beneficial" The Secre-
tary Of the Interior concurred in these
views

DEPOT SAFE ROBBED.
THIEVES MAKE A
GOOD HAUL.
Rock Island Station at Peabody, Kan,
Broken Into and P1undered-Trou-
biesome Leech Lake Indians Receive
Pardon from President MCKINLEY
Tbieves Arc successful.

The Rock Island depot at Peabody,
Kan. was robbed early the other morning
by unknown persons. The robbery was
probably planned in Wichita. The thieves
cut the wires about 1 o'clock, shutting off
all communication, although no one was
in the depot. The safe was successfully
blown and all of the contents secured. The
exact amount is unknown, but is said to
be $500. At daylight the following
morning an unknown man entered the
Rock Island office in Wichita and asked
the operator to change bill. which he did.
The stranger then asked if the wires
were working all right and upon being in
formed that they were not smiled and
walked out Officers have no other cleW
to work upon.
