LOOKING AFTER BRIDGE BILL.
HON. w. w. OSBORNE DID NOT TAR
RY LONG IN SAVANNAH.

Here Saturday, He Left Yesterday
for Washington, to Renew the
Fight for the Passage of the Bill
Permitting the Construction of
Bridge Across the River-Refused
to Discuss the Fight Now Being
Made, but lie Understood to Have
Predicted Its Final Success-AIary-
land Senators Fighting the Bits
Passage and other Adverse Infiu-
ences Mt Work.
The Seaboard Air Line officials
seem to realize quite thoroughly that
of bridge across the Savannah river.
in frontgof the city. is not going to
pass the Senate without fight. That
fight they are making every day.
Hon. w. W. Osborne, who has repre-
scented the promoters of the enterprise
in the fight before the committees of
the two houses of Congress and whose
efforts probably contributed materially
to the passage of the act by
the House of Representatives, spent
Saturday in Savannah. but left again
on yesterday for Washington.
While he was in Savannah Mr.. Os-
borne had a conference with the local
officers of the Georgia and Alabama
Terminal Company as to the progress
the bridge bill is making towards its
enactment into law. He refused to dis
cuss the details of the fight.
While Mr.. Osborne would not express
an opinion as to the evetual outcome OF
the struggle, it is understood he feels
reasonably confident of the final sue
cess of the movement-that the bill
will pass the Senate as it has the
House, and in the end will receive the
signature of the President.
1t is believed here that it is in the
Senate that the principal fight against
the passage of the bridge bill is to be
made. The Maryland senators, support
ed by the representations of the Mer-
chants and Miners transportation
Company, that the erection of the
bridge will diminish the value and i'm
pair the usefulness of the Savannah
terminals of the Baltimore and Phila-
delphia lines, have entered their pro-
test. The opponents of the measure
will certainly be able to bring other
strong and potent influences to bear
against its passage, and in the light of
all this the final construction of the
bridge is not at all matter of GER
tainty.

to furnish him the seed to use this
spring. The Illinois man also raises
several thousand acres of corn, and
has reputation as a grower of one
of the best varieties, but he had to de-
cline the liberal offer made for what
the other wanted, as he thought he had
not enough to fill it after filling other
orders taken, and taking what he
would need for his own use. He had
lots of corn to sell, but not such as
he would send out as we'll bred and

buyer also had corn to sell, and he
was asked why he did not save seed
from his own crop. He replied, Be

winter Forage plant. for the south

IL
The United States Department of
Agriculture is sending out Bulletin
No. 147, which treats of more than
thirty plants adapted to winter growth
in the South. The thirty odd plants
enumerated from Alfalfa to Vetch,
afford splendid opportunity for the
Southern farmer to have green fields
almost through the entire winter, if he
so chooses.
What an opportunity How long 1t
has been neglected! How much longer
is it to be so?
The lower half of Georgia especially
and Northern Florida, how easy to
make these sections slaughter pen
for all Europe. Think of the beef, the
mutton-sheep and good "mutton'-
the hog meat, the fowl meat that could
be sent across the water via the ports
of Savannah and Bruins wick, and one
or two others perhaps if the farmer OF
the South only made use of one-half,
one-fourth the opportunity presented
him.
Is this an eXaggerat ton? We do not
believe it is.
How can the farmers of the country
be brought TO take fairly enthusiasts
tic view of their opportunity? How
can they be Weakened up? How can
they be reached?
1t is a fact that in the section speci-
fed it is possible to have green pas
lures fully nine months in the year
and to a limited extent even ten or
eleven months.
We would advise our farmer read
ers to send for the bulletin referred
to and post themselves as to the splen-
did list of plants suitable for making
winter and early spring pastures in
the South.
We would that many farmers, at all
able to do So would turn their atten-
ton to this most promising feature

profit per acre than the hundred dol

The collection of some twoscore papers by
Mr.. Herbert Spencer which is published under

in the authors mind at various times when he
has been writing systematic works." in which
he did not care to incorporate them. Some OF
them, he observes are relatively trivial some
OF more interest. and some, he thinks are i'm
portant. He notes also that the volume is. with
certainty, his last. It Is remarkably entertain
Ing The book seems made rather of talk than OF
literary exercises, the talk Of a philosopher

themes, THE Pursuit Of Prettiness," Presence
Of Mind" "A Few Americanisms," and other
matters of greater moment, such as Patriot
ism,' State Education" Party Government" I"
and so on. The first pages are concerned with

Ger sees in the detailed specifications of a con-
tract and the naming Of penalties in case of non
performance, in the many clauses in an act OF
Parliament, which inserted to prevent eva
sion. nothing more nor less than so many "recog-
nitions Of the truth that things will go wrong
unless they are made to go right" He does not
believe that the human heart is all good or all
bad. The rational belief, he thinks lies be-
tween these extremes, and he maintains that If
we leave openings for going wrong the wrong
thing is certain to occur in course Of time, and
''the only prudent course is to be ever seeking
out the openings and stopping them up" Though
he disgusted the secretary of a club by uttering
