THEY WANT IT ALL,

Does the Commercial, a trade paper
of New York, voice the sentiment of
the merchants of that city? If it does,
they are very grasping. Recently the
Commercial commented on the effort
that wholesale merchants of Savannah
are making to bring country buyers
here. 1t tried to show that the effort
was a mistake, because there would
be discrimination in favor of those
country merchants who visited the city
to buy goods as against those who re-
manned at home and ordered what they
wanted.
1t is somewhat remarkable that the
Commercial never thought of this in
connection with a similar plan in New
York for bringing country merchants
to that city. 1t may be that it had no
reason for thinking of it then. 1t
probably believes in the policy of
bringing buyers from the interior so
long as it applies only to New York,
but it objects to it when adopted by
any other community.
The Commercial speaks only for
New York merchants, and they want
the trade of the whole country. They
send their drummers through every
part of the South. They get all the
trade they can, and then they growl If
Savannah's merchants make an effort
to get a little more of the trade of
their own territory.
OF course what the Commercial says
in respect to the matter is not going
to influence the wholesale merchants of
Savannah in the least, but it may make
them wonder whether, in view of the
fact that they have to pay heavy
tax and a big license for doing bust
ness, whether 1t would not be just to
require the merchants of the great
trade centers to contribute something
to the revenues of the states in which
they do business.

Reports from the steel manufacturing
centers indicate that there will be no
shortage in cotton ties this year, that
will appreciably affect the planters. 1t
is regarded as likely that there will
be an increase of five cents per bundle
in the price of ties, but as one bundle

cost per bale to the cotton producer
viii be but one cent. The question,
therefore, does not seem to be one of
serious moment, though when the steel
strike was begun, it was feared 1t
would become so.

Again the grim cold light of truth
has served TO destroy a prettily roman
tic story. Recently Milton S. Fenner,
a cadet at West Point, resigned his
cadetship and eloped with a young wo-
man of Highland Falls. They disap-
peared and the New York newspapers,
taking their cue from the fact that a
young man and young woman had been
seen wandering somewhat aimlessly
through the woods. identified them as
Fenner and his bride and wove a pa
thetic little paragraph from the threads
of the incident Now it has been learn
ed that the couple have been living
quietly in a hotel in New York since
they were married and that they are
in no immediate want of the necessa-
ries of life. From the standpoint of
those who have used the apocryphal
incident in the lives of Mr.. and Mrs
Fenner to point a moral and adorn a
tale. it is positively distressing.

The society circus that Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs gave at Newport, although ex-
tensively heralded and widely adver-
tised in the Northern newspapers, was
a very tame affair. From the advance
notices that appeared it was deduced
that the society men, maids and ma
irons of Newport were to be the per-
formers, and the society of that resort
of the wealthy and elite held its breath
in anticipation. 1t turned out that the
performers were professionals merely,
and the breath that had been held in
anticipation was released in disappoint-
ment and regret. There was absolute
ly nothing about the whole affair which
encouraged the tongue Of gossip to
wag.

The trustee in bankruptcy of W. F..
Miller and the Franklin Syndicate, the
concern that promised investors re-
turns of $40 per cent. per annum, has
brought suit to recover some of the
funds which got into the syndicate's
hands. 1t is alleged that $4,000 of
the money that poured into Miller's
Golfers, in response to his plausible ap-
peals to the credulity of the public. was
deposited with the brokerage firm of
Seymour, Johnson & Co. 1t is this
money that the effort is now being
made to recover through legal pro-
ceedings. 1t is improbable that inves-
tors in the syndicate will ever see
again any large percentage of their
money.

says: There cannot be much dispute,
we think, in view of recent events, that
the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
NJ. p, has done the British Empire
more harm than any other man who
was born into IT during the nineteenth
century. The helplessness of tth par
liamentary opposition does not seem to
denote that Mr.. Chamberlain is politi-
cally strong, so much as that his op-
ponents are politically weak"
The Chicago Journal Qnd) says
There is no reason why capital and
labor should regard each other as enc
mics with antagonistic interests. The
one is the complement of the other, and
they should be allies. We know of no
better way of bringing them into close
and profitable alliance than by the
workingmen having an interest in the
capital stock of the companies and
some influence in their management.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
The conviction and punishment of
half hundred official ballot-box stuff
fers would do more to insure an honest
expression of the popular will at the

that could possibly be employed. Let

1t is believed that the establishment
of an army war college at Washing
ton will be among the recommends
tons made in Secretary Roots next
annual report. The Navy Department
now maintains a war college at New
port and the need of a similar institu-
ton, for advanced instruction of Off
GERS of the army in the art and sci
ence of war, is generally recognized by
military experts. The efficiency Of the
United States army depends in such
large degree upon the professional
equipment and training of it's officers

spects, \the peers or superiors of any
in the world.

All really excellent champagne is the
result of judcious blending. Time
was when each big vineyard owner
had his own cellar and his own brand.
But it has been found advantageous to
sell the raw wine to dealers, who make
one district supply what another lacks.
But there are still few provincial
establishments that cling to the old
ways-crowning with a wreath of flow
ers the first tubful of ripe grapes and
keeping the bride of the cellar full
from year to year.
The bride. be it understood, is spe-
cial wine cask filed with the first rum
ming of the press. More accurately it
holds the juice which drips away be-
fore any pressure is applied. Wine
from it is never sold. but used upon
high days and holidays. passed about
as a gift or devoted to the comfort Of
the sick and the poor.
Something akin to the bride exists in
the German free cities. Each Of them
has a wine cellar, and in each cellar
there is cask always yielding wine.

Any burgher is entitled to demand
bottle of its contents when he marries,
when his first son is chrstened and
also when the son Is 81. If the son is
adventurous or the burgher himself,
for that matter. he gets another bottle
from the cask when he comes home
from far countries.
But there is an official specially
charged to see that whenever a bottle
full is drawn out another bottleful Of

once goes In. And thus 1t happens that

On one occasion Beecher happened

And so in day or two Mr.. Beecher
went with Major Pond to look at

which he purchased and sent to differ
