The Unfortunate Filipino.

President Roosevelt made q fearful
plea to the senate for reduction in
the tariff levied by the United States
against the products Of the Philip
pines. He painted pathetic picture
Of the distressed condition of the ma
tives, and referred to plain duty and
assumed responsibilities.
Every day the protectionists arc
forced to admit the injustice and fall
acy OF their high tariff plan, but the
handful of leaders who control the
policy Of the Republican party are In
different to the situation. Their
friends, the trusts, want the tariff to
remain as It is. and not a single
schedule will be touched, The, tariff
is sacred.
President Roosevelt had an unpleas-
ant experience with the senate year
ago, when he sent message urging
II to take action for the relief Of Cuba.
He will probably receive the same
sort of treatment that he did then.
In the meantime the luckIess Fill
pino will continue to enjoy the bene-
fits Of benevolent assimilation.-Tole

POST0FFiCE STATEMENT
SHOW HEAVY GAINS.

The gains in the postoff1ce business
of the year ending June 80, 1908, as
compared with the business for the
same period the year before are most
substantial and satisfactory, as was
predicted by the Morning News yester-
day.
The report for this period which was
completed yesterday morning shows
that the amount of stamps and postal
cards sold during the last year was
$l51, 144.59, as against $152, 5S1.02 the
year before. Despite the fact that the
amount for 1903 is less than that of
1902 it is considered a most satisfac-
tory showing as because of the re-
moval of the Plant System the depart
ment lost a customer that bought $500
to $500 worth of stamps month. That
this loss has been so nearly overcome
argues well for the general increase
of business
In the amounts collected for second
class postage and for box rents there
are large increases and, altogether, the
statement is one that proves conclu>
sively not only Savannah's growth in
business during the past twelve
months, but argues well for an even
greater growth and prosperity during
the coming year

Senator A. o. Bacon and the party
that will visit Fort Screven, Tybee Is
land, Friday. That is they will be
given a very interesting exhibition, if
they care to have it. or rather if they
have the time to see it.
Lieut. Col. A C. Taylor, officer in
charge of the fort, stated yesterday
that he expected the visitors to reach
the fort about 1920 o'clock a. M, and
that he has arranged for their enter
tainment a parade of the troops at the
fort, a sub-caliber artillery practice,
and lunch. There is little doubt but
that this programme will meet with
the hearty approval of all the members
of the party for drills by regulars are
be a privilege, indeed, to see the big
guns used in target practice.
Nothing Heard from Senator Clay.
Though nothing definite has been
heard from Senator A. S. Clay as to
whether he will be able to make the
trip or not, Senator Bacon, Congress-
man R. E. Lester, Col. ]. H. Estill
and committee of the Chamber Of
Commerce will be sure to make the Wis

senators and other members of Con-
Sress, who may be members of the
party, the improvements and the addi-
tions that are needed to the fort and
grounds.

a tour of inspection of the place and
will point out and explain what is
necessary He expects that notes will
be made of these matters and that
they will be taken up with the govern

the improvements most needed are now
barracks for the men, the filling in
and leveling of the low land between
the fort and the Tybee tracks, a new
wharf, a new walk leading from it to
the fort, an electric plant, and a boat
to be used in towing the targets out
to sea when needed for practice.
improvements Greatly Needed.
All these things are imperatively
needed, but at the same time it is
hoped that when these are secured, as
there is little doubt that they will be,
that something may also be done to-
ward improving the grounds in the
way of planting trees, arranging walks
etc. 1t is also hoped to induce the gov
eminent to increase the number of
companies at the fort from the pres
ent number, three; to six, ten, twelve,
or more.
The committee from the Chamber Of
Commerce has not yet been appoint
ed because of Col. Estill's absence from
the city, but as that gentleman will
return from Augusta this morning it
is probable that the committee will he

arrangements for the trip so far as the
committee is concerned may be made
at once.

In the City Court yesterday a YER
dict for $4,000 was awarded to Walter
G. Charlton, for his services in the
preliminary hearing of the Greene

two recalcitrant defendants to repre-
sent them in the. hearing before Judge
Speer, the fee agreed upon being s., 900,
the services to extend only to matters
preliminary.
Shortly before they decamped for
Canadian country they assured him of
early payment Since they have been
ensconced in the Chateau Frontenac
they have sent him $1,000. In this com
munication they told him not to feel
apprehensive about the balance on ac-
count, and suggested that he look to it
out of the property which they had
left behind.
Accordingly Mr.. Charlton filed an
attachment for the remainder due. A
claim affidavit was instituted by
Michael A. Connolly. This was dismiss
ed on motion yesterday, and the case
proceeded on it's merits The Jury
promptly rendered a verdict for $4,-

noon, and on application of United

Mr. Colding, for the defense, announced
that he was ready, but the prosecution
showed sufficient cause why the case
should go over.
The taking of the testimony in the
case promises to be tedious task, and
will probably consume two weeks Wit

showers Interfere with the Oil
Cure and Make Paddles.
Speaking of the war that is being
waged against the common nuisance

director of public works, said yester-
day that the city was doing it's part
towards Kidding the place of the little
pests. The oil treatment continues, and
with good effect. in the drains and
everywhere that the street department
can find any standing or sluggish wat
er. The recent showers have interfered
greatly with the work. however, and
made the efforts of the oil men almost
useless.
Whenever there is a rain puddles are
allowed to stand in many places, some
times for half an hour, some times for
twenty-four hours. In the latter in
stance the innocent looking pond of
water can send out an army of the
black singers that would terrify a
Turk. Standing water in any part of
town is just that much help in the
mosquito raising business. Science has
shown that the little winged insect
seldom travels more than 300 yards
from his own Preside" 1t is there
fore very often the fault of the family
directly concerned, if they have mos
quitoes. for the fact of their being in
the house seems to indicate that in
the same yard or next door, there is
standing water. Occasionally strong
winds bring the mosquitoes from the
marshes. but this is an unusual. and
not a regular thing.
1t does not take a large quantity Of
water to prove the incubator for thou
sands of 'skeeters, and even the brok-
en- bottles that are sometimes placed
on walls as a preventive against climb
ing. harbor a big crop of the insects.
Cooperation on te part of the
citizens with the authsorities might
soon lead to the putting away of nets
and the consequent fuller enjoyment
of sleep, which is now very often UNI
comfortable on account of the close
ness and oppression that come with the
use OF nets.
