NOT DISAPPOINTED.

We are not in the least disappointed by
the refusal of the Charleston
News and Courier to speak en-
secure an Increase in the depth Of Savan-
nah harbor channel from twenty-six feet
to twenty-eight feet If it discussed the
matter at all, we felt certain that while
expressing the hope that the
movement might succeed it would
have doubts about tl~ prac-
ticability of the undertaking. and
in other ways would make it appear that
nothing IN connection with the Savannah
harbor would give it so much pleasure as
a decrease in the present depth of the
channel
After quoting the report of the engineer
in charge to show that some dredging viii
have to be done at places to maintain the
present depth of the channel It says: I'VE
DO not know but we doubt that the gov
eminent should attempt a larger project
at Savannah before the success of its
present experiment has been more fully
demonstrated" In other words, if we
understand the real meaning of the News
and Courier, it would like 10 see the
movement for a channel of twenty-eight
feet fail
It even would like to have il understood
that the success of the Improvement by
which a channel of twenty-six feet has
been obtained is in doubt There does not
seem to be doubt anywhere. except in the
office of the News and Courier. It is prob
able that the doubt in that quarter was
caused by the refusal OF the government
to select Charleston instead of Savannah
as the chief port of embarkation of
troops destined for Cuba 1t is doubtful
if any troops would have been sent by
way of Char!eston-the facilities for ship
ping being so much superior here-if
Charleston had not made such an outcry
about the matter, But it will be noticed
that Savannah made no opposition TO the
shipment of troops by way of Charleston,
although the government was put to
great deal of extra expense to send troops
30 Cuba by way Of that port.
II would be natural, of course, for Sa-
vannah to expect that Charleston would
give what encouragement she could to
any public work intended to benefit Sa-
vannah, but il seems that Charleston, If
the News and Courier speaks for her. is
controlled by feelings Of envy rather than
generosity. The doubt expressed by the
News and Courier that the Savannah har-
Dor improvement is a success shows that
that paper is ignorant in respect to the
improvement or prefers to cast a doubt
upon the success of it. The improvement
is a success as every one at all acquainted
with the river will testify. The Savannah
pilots know that it is and the government
officials who are managing the shipment
of troops from this port will say that il is.
Satannah may not get an appropriation
for twenty-eight-foot channel, but it
would not be at all surprising if she
should. The South and West need greatly
channel of that depth on the South At
lantic coast and why should 1t not be a,
Savannah, by far and away the greatest
of the South Atlantic seaports?

CnINiE IN 1sas.

The news dispatches a few days ago
contained summary of statistics of
crimes and casualties for the year 1898,
kept by the Chicago Tribune. The Trib-
uues figures are not official; they were
made up from news reports received by
itself and other newspapers. Neverthe-
less it is probable that the statistics are as
nearly correct as it is possible 10 obtain
even from official sources.
The Tribune's data show that there was
"a considerable decrease an crime of all
sorts during the year. OF suicides there
were nearly 1000 less than during the year
preceding. and it appears that a consid-
erably decreased percentage of those who
took their own lives did so from despond-
ency. Another noticeable feature about
the suicides is the fact that there were
about four male suicides to every female.
The women were more level-headed dur
ing 1898 than the men.
There were nearly 1000 fewer homi-
cides in 1898 than in 1897 the figures in

an other deaths by violence except from

bezzlements there were a decreased num-
Der, and the amounts stolen We're on the
average smaller than the year before
How is the improvement in the public
morals TO be accounted for? Is it result
of the war excitementg Some months ago
the chiefs bf police of New York and Chi
cago said they noted a decrease in crime
in their respective cities and attributed
the fact to the enlistment in the army of
many men who would have been likely TO
give the police trouble had they remained
"a home. Up to the time of their enhst-
ment they had been practically idlers BY
joining the army they not only were Civ
en- employment and a source of income
but We're removed from temptation to COM
nit crimes. If that view is correct, it as
10 be hoped the restraint and discipline
Of army life win bear good fruit when
! these volunteers are mustered out and re-
turned to the great cities.
There are others who will be able 10 see
in the decrease of crime a most crafty
lng assurance Of the return of prosperity
10 the country. The mills and The shops

He Got the votes.

A Congressman is thus quoted by the
Washington Star:
The first race I ever made for Congress
resulted in my defeat by less than fifty
majority. and if one of my friends had
not been too jealous l would have been
elected. There was a precinct where
expected to receive hundred votes, and
I feared there would be some fraud in
the precinct that would injure me; so I
got an old man who had never participant
ed in politics, but who had almost para
mount influence in the district, to take
charge OF my interests there instructing
him to see that every friend of mine voted
and that the votes were counted. When
the returns came in | had not received
single vote in that precinct, and the
next DAY a bulky envelope was handed
re containing one hundred and twenty
ballots, together with letter from the
man I had left in charge saying that he
had seen every friend of mine and taken
up their ballots so that none would be
missed. and as he Wouldn't trust the
judges of elections he had sent them to
me himself so I would be sure to get
them. Since then have seen to it that
men in charge of my interests We're not
only honest, but knew something about
politics"

WAS SHE DEAnS

Mondays New York papers give an in
teresting account of a curious case at the
Presbyterian Hospital in that city. II was
a case in which the experienced doctors
of the hospital were in doubt whether
woman, a patient who had been pro
nounced dead, was in fact dead. The doc
tor of the ward in which she was i'll pro
uounced her dead, and had<her body sent
to the hospital morgue. The coroner was
sent for. That official arrived the follow
ing day, and after viewing the body re-
fused to give a death certificate. He was
unable to decide whether or not the wo-
man was dead and concluded TO delay
the burial of the body, which, in the mean
time. was taken back into the ward from
which it had been removed.
Other doctors of the hospital were called
in, and all the known tests for determin-
ing whether or not life was extinct were
Tried without reaching a satisfactory re-
suit
1t seems from what the relatives of the
woman say she was subject to fits, which
always left her in a state of coma. 1t may
be that when she was pronounced dead at
the hospital she was dead. In view of the
fact, however, that there was doubt, the
hospital authorities acted wisely in with
holding the body from burial until such
time as all doubt was removed
There are many people who have a great
horror of being buried alive. Those of
them who read the account of this case at
the Presbyterian Hospital will have their
fears intensified. If such experienced ply
sicians as those at that hospital cannot
in all cases tell whether or not a person
is dead, may it moi often happen that per-
sons are buried alive? That seems to be
a reasonable conclusion, yet it is pretty
safe 10 say that it is extremely seldom
that the mistake of burying a person alive
is made.

CiviIizins the savaee.

While Gar Nicolas II recently expressed
his opinion Of the civilization brought 90
tie benighted heathens by their Christian
fellow-men az amounting frequently to
nothing more than a shipload of cognac.
Andrew Lang tells US Of a savage tribe
which is so shocked at the selfshness and
cruelty Of the whites that it has institut-
Cd a sort of purifcation rite for those Of
the tribe who have come into contact
with them upon their returning home.
The Freethinker contains the following dl-

Gen. shnfter stopped the Car.

In the reports Of the presidential prog
ress through the South one incident alone
has happened to mar the happy revels,
says the Philadelphia Times. That it is
not more serious is due to the splendid
law of inertia and fixty of matter and
the high consideration of Southern troll
ley car for a Northern general. 1t APP
pears that Gen Shafter was run into by
ear in Atlanta-or, perhaps not to strain
possible construction that can be placed
upon the affair, let US say in one Of the
cities visited by the President and his
party. The car was brought to a sudden
standstll and the passengers were some
what shaken up. Then the general sa-
luted and the motorman touched his cap
and with these considerate regards the
general went on his way and the trolley
pursued its course. We do not regard
This incident as having the least sectional
bearing, nor can We believe that Gen
Shafter invited the attack of the trolley
nor that the action OF the trolley was pre-
meditated.
But it shows the value of having the
right man inSthe right place and at the
right time. Not since the death of Judge
David Davis could the North have fur
nished man of equal weight and proml-
nence, SO well equipped to figure effective
ly in such an incident and issue from it
so gracefully. Gen. Shafter is indeed, in
vincibie-in peace and in war
