Goldfish Hatchery Necessary.

NOonSn nNtCnefy NeCeSSafy.
 The codfish industry of Alaska is of much more importance and more extensive than is realized by the people of Alaska who have not visited the great codfish banks to the westward and especially by the people of the states. This work has been going on quietly for number of years and has been paying investment. There are thousands of square miles of cod- fish banks along both the north and south side of the Alaska pen- insula, the Aleutian islands and north into Bristol bay. But this industry is on the wane for the sole reasoR that the natural in- grease of fish is not as large as the catch.
 Fishing continues at the differ- ent banks the entire year and hence the cod are not allowed to increase as they naturally would if such was not the case, But this can be pbvi,ted very easily and at small expense to. the government by the establishment of q coIish hatchery. If q hatchery is established this in- dustry will be doubled if not quad- supled.
 The cod fishermen have been en- deavorirg for years to induce the United States Fish Commission to establish one to keep up the supply of fish on the Alaska cod banks. They have finally succeeded in per suading it to withdraw its opposi- tion. At the close of last year the Manufacturers and Producers As sociation memerialized Congress to authorize a hatchery at Pirate Cove, a favOrite spawning ground of the cedfish of the North Pacific, and provide for its maintenance. Two cod hatcheries have been in successful operation for years on the Massachusetts coast and they are annually liberating into Atlan- tic waters about 1OO,OOO,OOO cod fry, which replenish the schools occupying the neighboring banks from which the Massachusetts and Maine fishermen draw their means of maintenance.
 The Pacific coast cod fishermen offered, as an inducement to the government to establish hatchery on this coast, to supply all the spawn and furnish every reason- able facility to make the institution success. The total cost of the hatchery, is estimated at $6,OOO. This is, of course, exclusive of the cost of maintenance. The Govern- ment is expected to put a compe- tent man in charge and defray all expenses except for the procuring of spawn. Until now the United States Fish commissioner opposed the proposition on the ground that it was impracticable to keep up the work. The cod fishers, however, interested every senator and repre- sentative in the last congress in their enterprise, and the objection of the commissioner has been with drawn. They have been advised of that faets and informed, also, that the senate commission of fisheries will recommend the. passage of suitable appropriation bill. The association is to be congratulated on its success. The hatchery will undoubtedly be as beneficial to the cod fisheries on this side of the eon- tinent as the Wood Hole and Glou- eester hatcheries have proved to be tes ths eastern eed banks. Since

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
AT TYBEE ISLAND.

A monster celebration at Tybee
on July 4 is being advertised by the
Central of Georgia, which promises
from early morn till late at night one
continuous round of enjoyment" and
promises a programme of fireworks,
music, dancing, surf bathing fishing

ed crowd, a complete schedule will be
operated between Savannah and the
island. Trains will leave Savannah
for the resort at 6 O'Clock a. m, s
and 1890 at 1890 p. m, 2:3O, two sec
tions; 4:25, $50, 1850 and 1O:19. Re

Various Comm andS BusiIH Engaged

It will be oh Listen to the Band,
with the First Regiment boys at their

A movement. which bids fair to be
successful is on foot 10 take the First
Regiment Band to Augusta. The fund
which is needed. $3.50, will probably

Regiment and by the citizens of Au-
gusta. The matter is in allegiance at
present.
In answer to a communication from
certain citizens of Augusta, in which
his opinion AS TO offering competitive
battalion prizes was asked Col. Cor
don has answered that he deems a
band far more desira Bile. An encamp-
ment without band, he says, is
complete failure. He suggests that the
fund which it is purposed 10 raise for
the battalion drills viz $3.50, be de-
voted to a fund 10 be used in defray-
ing the expenses of a band TO the en-
campment Col Gordon has assured
these citizens that if they raise $3.50
the First Regiment will do the rest.

relative to the camp. In a letter re-
ceived yesterday Mr.. Twiggs advises
Col. Gordon that the camp site has
been surveyed and laid out and that
the construction of the mess hall and
a few smaller buildings is all that re-
mains to be done The assistant en-
gineer expresses a desire to have Col.
Gordon go to Augusta as early as pos
sible for the purpose of inspection. 1t
is probable that this trip will not be
made until next week.
The commands are spending much
time in preparation for the occasion.
The school for instruction of officers
and non-comnissioned officers last
night was about the most generally at
tended of any this year. Those who
did not attend offered their excuses.
Quite a number of drills will be put in
between now and the time for the camp
and the men expect to be in fit form
for camp duty when the round of duty
begins.
Maj. Gleason will not attend the en-
campment, he having been relieved
from duty, at his own request, for
thirty days. 1t is probable that Lieut.
Col. Grayson, who formerly command
ed his battalion, will command his bat
talon at the encampment.

NEGROES POWER OF LOGIC.
From the Chicago Tribune.

rTOHu the CHlCdSO tribune.
Prof. Otis Ashmore, the Savannah
(Ga.) superintendent of schools, who
has been for many years a teacher of
white and black children, said in a
conversation with the Tribune CORE
spondent that the marked difference
which he noticed between the two races
is that white children at the age of
IA begin to develop their reasoning
faculties rapidly, while, on the con-
trary, the negro children remain ''un-
doubtedly deficient" in the faculty of
logic. Mr.. Ashmore adds that posssi-
bly,, in compensation, the negro chill
dren often show as much or more pow
er of memorizing.
Perhaps MI Ashmore has, in this
interview, gone deeper into the race
problem than any other man who has
spoken upon it. The white man who
holds the negro to have an inferior
intellect is at once confronted with
facts which seem at first scrutiny to
shake the theory of inferiority. At the
leading universities negro students
have acquitted themselves we'll in COM
petition with white students. The con-
tention that negroes cannot think as
we'll as whites does not seem to har-
monize with that fact.
But consistency between the theory
and the fact is possible on Prof. Ash
more's hypothesis. Possibly the ne
groes who do we'll at college elect
studies which may be memorized and
excel in them. AS history for in
stance, is taught at college memory
is the chief requisite for good marks.
The same is true of some of the an
cient language studies. The same is
true. and must be true to greater
or less degree, of all lecture course
studies.
1t is quite conceivable that a dill
gent negro youth might at college make
an excellent record because of his re-
tentive memory and that later on in
his life he should find himself unable
to deal with problems requiring of him
initiative and the power of reasoning
from cause to effect. Memory permits
the storing away in ones mind of other
mems thoughts; reason is the creation
of thoughts for ones self Situations
are always recurring in the life of an
active man when other mems thoughts
cannot fit his case and when he needs
to make up for himself some fresh
thoughts appropriate to the occasion.
If we cannot meet his crisis by think
ing out their meanings he must fall
behind his rivals who can do so.
We do not mean to assert that Mr..
Ashmore is right in his characterize
ton of the Negroes intellect. We should
like more evidence in the case first.
But his ideas are provocative of inter
eSting Specula ton.

THORNTON ON TRIAL.
Charged with AssauIting Hartridge
Harm With Intent to Kill

BY a chain of circumstantial evil
dence and lot of contradictory state
ments, the state expects to prove the
guilt of W. e. Thornton, who is be-
ing tried in the Superior Court on a
charge of murderously assaulting Hart
ridge Harm. Both parties are white.
The case was begun yesterday, when
all of the evidence of the state was
introduced. The defense put up the
mother of the accused. at which time
court took a recess. The case Is an
interesting one. Harm and the mother
of the accused, SO the state contends,
were engaged to be married, and were
in search of y place to establish them
selves in business when the assault
occurred. Thornton, it is alleged was
opposed to the marriage, thinking that
Harm was only after his mother
money. The assault was made under
the Central Railroad arch, in the west
ern section of the city several weeks
ago, the assailant disappearing in the
darkness.

trOduced in legislature.
A bill will be introduced in the en-
suing Legislature to enlarge and de-
fine the power of the Police Court of
the city Of Savannah, touching the
punishment of persons who may be in
contempt of its lawful authority.
1t was decided at another conference
yesterday to introduce a bill, having
as its aim the comforting of power on
the Police Court in direct an une-
quiVocal manner to sentence its pris-
oners to the chairgang. The city at
torney is still of the opinion that the
Police Court now has ample power in
this connection, but because of the fact
that confusion might arise from the
fact that this power is derived from Il
combination of legislative and munich
pal enactment, he deems it advisable
to have such law passed by the Leg
islature in order to relieve the con-
fusion which might arise, and to sim
plify the law rather than to remedy
any defect which might exist.
