Il is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival OF the doctor. An Al
bany IN. W dairyman called at a drug
store there for a doctor TO come and
see his child, then very sick with Group.
Not finding the doctor in. he left word
for him TO come at once on his return.
He also bought 4 bottle OF Chamber
lain's ough Remedy, which he hoped
would give some relief until the doctor
should arrive. In few hours ne re-
turned, saying the doctor need NOT
come, as the child was much better.

oors and friends until he has n constant
demand for it from that part OF the

Talk about newspaper work. Why, you
fellows who work on modern papers with
plants costing up into the hundreds of
thousands of dollars don't know anything
about it," said a superannuated editor to
a representative of the National Labor
Tribune. Let me tell you something
about early enterprise. 1t was during the
war down in Tennessee l was running a
weekly and Grant kept everything out.
There wasn't sheet Of paper in the town,
and our Washington hand press had brok-
en-, and the new casting necessary to
make it work was somewhere on the road,
with Grants army between US. But l
got there. A fellow smuggled in a wagon
load of flour done up in paper bags. The
rest was easy. There was a stranded
circus In town. 1t had been there a year,
and l used the elephant for a press. l
put the form on the ground and placed
a flour bag over It, The elephants keeper
then caused the brute 10 sit down on it,
and we got twenty-eight first-class TN
pressions, two more than our circulation
required"

''The greatest orator l ever listened to
in my life was the late Daniel W. Voor-
hees," said a well known New Orleans
lawyer, according to the Times Democrat.
He had a jovial presence, a great, reso-
nant bass voice and a bearing so sin
gularly comDel ling that l know of moth
ing except the trite word magnetic that
begins TO define it's effect
Il heard him in a murder trial at Louis
vile, and his speech on that occasion was
prefaced by the most amusing incident
which l have ever seen In print. 1t was a
very warm day and the court room was
packed to suffocation. As Voorhees, arose
the jury and discovered that one of the
members had fallen asleep. Browning with
indignation, he motoned to one of the
court officials and in a few seconds the
slumberer was shaken rudely into con-
sciousness.
He was a fat timid looking man and
was so mortified and aghast at the enor-
nifty of his offense that he could hardly
find words in which to reply to the sharp
questions of the judge. Finally he man
aged to burt out that he couldn't help
doing off whenever 1t was warm and
crowded. If the gentleman always sleeps
where II is warm and crowded, sail Noor-
hees majesucally, the gentleman will. no
doubt, enjoy himself hugely in hades. >
There was a roar of laughter. but The re-
tort proved rather costly. The fat man
hung the jury against Voorhees, client.

MUNICIPAL EXPENSES.

A gentleman who is prominent in city
affairs, and who has investigated the mat
ter, says that Charlestons annual munic-
ipal expenses are $780, 900 less than those of
Savannah, Notwithstanding Charleston
gives $4,000 a year toward the support of
her hospitals. orphan house and aims
house where Savannah gives about 81 coo.
These are not comparative figures for one
year, but are said to be relatively correct
for number of years. In addition to
this difference against the cost of man
agement of Savannah's affairs as compared
with Charleston's, the people of this city
are made TO pay direct tax, over and
above all other taxes, of two-thirds the
cost of all street paving whereas in
Charleston street paving is included in
the general taxes. OF course the most
used of Charleston's streets are already
paved, though there are still many I'M
paved streets there.
The above is a rather startling state
ment; still there is nothing new in it, The
facts as stated have been known for some
time, and many times commented on. The
question is, why should 1t cost more 20
run the municipality of Savannah than
that OF Charleston? The answer is, be-
cause this city has too many office holders.
Many of them do but little more than
draw their salaries; and in the case of
others, who perform some service, the
salaries are too high.
1t cannot be successfully questioned that
too much money Is being spent on city
government. The present administration.
however, is not any more culpsble in the
matter than its predecessors. The trou-
bic is that the people-the taxpayers-take
very little interest in municipal politics
They leave politics to the management and
manipulation of persons who want some
thing for themselves or their friends, and
to the practical politicians and heelers."
The result Is that while every board OF
aldermen has in it few men who stand
up for economy and retrenchment, the ma
jority Of the members are those who feel
that they represent the boys"-the poll
ticians and ward heelers-and who proceed
to reward them or those whom they may
name, by giving them the money of the
taxpayers 1t is to be expected that
practical politics" win exist to some ex-
tent in every city, but where it obtains
to so great an extent as is the case in
Savannah It becomes a burden which
bears down heavily upon the citys prog
ress. The most unblushing partisanship.
to call II by a soft name, is often resorted
TO; and without word OF condemnation
from che people!
The remedy for this condition is for the
people, the taxpayers, 10 rid themselves II
the little fractional rings OF selfish and
greedy politicians. The small-fry poll
tician doesn't care three straws for sa-
vannah, except as source from which 10
draw money. He doesn't know the mean
ing OF patriotism or city pride, but is con-
