Why do you look so exhaUsted?" said

they will do it. And the worst of it is
that l can't break the old guides of it.
Some of the oldest in the service will
make a break and relapse into the
same old blunder.'

What do they do?'
why, explained the Captain, "ev-

up in a rubber coat and a rubber robe,
shouted to him from his seat on a car
riage: Say, boss, will you ring the
bell of that house. l don't want to get
down because I'll get all wet?" With
the water running in a small rivulet

The Good Samaritan.

He walked along with lordly strut,
head in air and shoulders well back,
says the New York Press. At Liberty
street and Broadway he saw a boy
searching for something in the snow.
The youngster, about 10, was crying
as if his heart would break. Whats
the matter. little man." he asked, kind
ly. MY boss gave me 81 to buy some
benzine, and I've lost it. Boo-hoo-hoo."
We'll, now don't be baby Tell me
all about it." The child told him.
Now take me to your boss,' said he
of the lordly strut. Very unwillingly
the boy led him to an Office on the
fifth floor, where sat a fierce looking
man. Il beg your pardon, sir, for this
intrusion; but I've called on a personal
matter that concerns us both" said
the stranger. This is your office boy %
Yes" And did you give him 81 to
buy some benzine ?" Yes" You are
sure he had the money!" Certainly"
well, he lost it. l simply wanted to
make sure he had it. I'm going to
make it good, so that you will not
take it out of his wages or punish him.
Here. boy, take this dollar and run
along and buy the benzine." I'll see
that you don't make it good!' cried the
employer taking out roll of bills as
big as a mans leg and peeling off a
dollar. Here you are Charlie. Don't
worry. Be a little more careful next
time" 1.-The boy won't be punished q"

tinued up Broadway.

NOT VERY MUCH LARGER.

The Atlanta papers have been having
a great deal to say about the union
railroad depot to be built in that city.
When they first began to talk about it
the impression gained from what they
said was that they were going to have
a depot something like the one at St.
Louis or the one in Observation-Disclosures
costing several millions of dollars. 1t
seems, however, that the cost of the
depot and the shed and approaches is
to be about $750,0O0 or 100000. That
sum will of course pay for a modest
but very handsome structure.
We have fine union depot here in
Savannah the cost of which, exclusive
of the land, was 100000. AS Atlanta
has more railroads than Savannah a
larger depot is required there. It is
doubtful, however, if the Atlanta de-
pot will make a finer appearance or
will be a more imposing structure than
the depot here.
There is some satisfaction in knowing
that the Atlanta depot question is set
tied. That city certainly needs a de-
pot; besides, the people of the entire
state have been dragged into the de-
pot question in that city on account
of the efforts of the state to provide
the depot

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark Dem
says: 1T seems impossible that men so
radically different as Senators Morgan
and Quay could combine to hold UP
the National Legislature, but stranger
things have happened-for instance
the Anglo-German alliance"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd.) saysa John D. Rockefeller is
credited with owning 100000 par
value of Standard oil stock which, at
the present market value, is worth
nearly S260,000,0J0. He must be quite
as rich man as Andrew Carnegie,
and no one else stands in the same
class with them, unless it be ]. P. Nor

The Washington Post Qnd) says:
President Spencer, of the Southern
Railway Company, made an address
at Atlanta the other day in which he
gave the young men of the South some
excellent suggestions. He told of the
demand for competent men to manage
the great corporations of the country.
and urged that more attention be Civ
en- to education which will fit men for
such work. The country has been over
stocked with lawyers and doctors, and
there is a great demand for practical
business men"
The Buffalo IN. " Times (Dem.)
says: Political history shows that
party success waits not alone on the
excellency OF its candidates and the
soundness of its platform. but also on
the unity of its forces. It is as essen

TILLMAN on THE RACE QUESTION.

The speech of Senator Tillman of
South Carolina on the Indianola post
office case, or more correctly speaking,
on the race problem, was in that gen
tleman's usual forcible though rough
style. 1t was not, however, as vitriolic
as was anticipated it would be; which
fact adds to it's strength, and will cause
it to receive more attention at the
North than if it had been of the red
hot order. The speech was opportune.
The problem discussed in it is given
more thought at the present time than
in some years. The Senator presented
the situation in high relief, so far as
the relation existing between the white
race and the black is concerned: and
what he said is as true of the North as
it is of the South.
The white man of the North is only
theoretically in favor of the black
mans being considered his equal. He
favors equality when it does not affect
his own position. He is willing to let
the black or the yellow man (the lat
ter generality get the political plums-
hold federal offices-in the South. But
he won't let the black man work as a
carpenter or a bricklayer. or at any
other skilled trade, in the North. That
is, the Northern white man believes
this is white mans country, and that
the white man is entitled to the best
in it. The Southern white man has a
similar belief, except that it is not quite
so strong as that of the Northern man.
The difference is this; the Southern
white man permits and assists the black
man to earn his honest living at any
thing he can do, while the Northern
white man limits the opportunities of
the black to embarrassing and mental
work around hotels and clubs And. as
a matter of fact, the blacks as walters
are said to be fast disappearing in New
York and other Northern cities, where
their places are being taken by white
help. An incident illustrating the
Norths tolerance of the negro was re-
ported in our dispatches yesterday. At
Indiana, Pa, all of the negroes were
ordered to leave the town, because of
lawlessness on the part of one of their
number. Inasmuch as they did not
obey the order quickly enough, the
whites took ropes and poles and pulled
down their houses.
Senator Tillman, with bold and rough
strokes, painted a truthful picture to
set before the people. The co1ors may
be little glaring, but they will attract
attention and may cause people to
look who would not have done so 9TH
erwise.

ALL PULL TOGETHER.

The special committee on forming an
organization to work for the interests
of Savannah will report tonight to
the meeting to be held at the City
Exchange. The plan of the proposed
organization, as briefly outlined in the
Morning News report yesterday of the
committees action, is to form a Cham
Der of Commerce with a broad plat
form, on which every citizen can
stand, whether the citizen be a mer-
chant or professional man, or whether
in business or out of it; an organiza-
ton through which every man (and
woman, too, for that matter), who
wishes to see the city thrive and pros
per and is willing to aid in the good
work, can join the movement.
Everybody who wishes to help should
be at the meeting this evening and sub
scribe to the roll of membership. Sa-
vannah needs an organization like the
proposed Chamber of Commerce, and
she is going to have one. 1t is a move
ment for the good of all. Every inter-
est in the city will be benefited, either
directly or indirectly, by the operations
OK the Chamber of Commerce, there
fore it ought to have cheerful and en-
thusiastic popular support from the
first.

TINE TO CALL A Halt.

The people of the entire state are
profoundly interested in having the
members of the mob that murdered the
negro at Griffin at an early hour on
Tuesday morning sought out and
brought to justice. As reported in
our dispatches the crime was a cruel
| and cold looded one. The negro had
been arrested for an offense committed
while drunk-an offense for which he
was, as was right, promptly punished,
Notwithstanding the fact that he was
drunk when he committed it. He was
heavily fined and discharged, his EN-
| ployer having paid his fine.
The offense was committed more
than a month ago and the negro had
no reason to suspect that he was in
| danger from mob violence. He had
been tried and was paying the penalty
that had been passed upon him. He
was working out his fine. What ex-
cuse, therefore, was there for the mob
that went to his house and deliberately
shot him to death?
Public sentiment seems to justly
! lynch law when the victim of it is
guilty of assaulting a woman, espe-
| cially when the lynching follows quick
| ly the commission of the crime, but
there is no public sentiment that up
holds such d lynching as that at Crit
fin.
What is the grand jury of Spalding
county going to do about it? That is
a question that, no doubt, is being gen.
orally asked. We feel safe in saying
that if every man concerned in the
killing of that negro were arrested
and punished to the fullest extent Of
the law there would be rejoicing
throughout the state. The county au-
thorities ought to make every effort 10
discover the guilty parties, and the
Governor ought to assist them by Of
fering a reward for the apprehension
of each and every one of them. The
county and the state ought to be made
too hot for them to remain within the
limits of either with anything ap-
preaching comfort, even if it be found
impossible to get sufficient evidence
against them to convict them of the
crime of which they are guilty.
IF mob violence in cases like this is
permitted to pass unpublished and I'M
noticed it will not be long before it
will become common in the most ordi-
nary Offenses, and the victims of it will
not be confined to negroes. Besides,
the people of Georgia cannot regard
with indifference such glaring injus-
tice. 1t is their intention that the ne
groes shall have all the protection that
the law gives them, and it is their
duty to see to it that the justice dealt
out to them is as even-handed as that
dealt out to the white people If ire
sponsible white men take the law into
their own hands with entire impunity
we shall soon@have a sad condition of
affairs in this state.
The Griffin tragedy should not be
permitted to drop out of sight. The
county authorities and the Governor
should not be satisfied until all means
for bringing the criminals to justice
are exhausted We have courts and
all the machinery for the protection of
life and property. Let US see to it that
the law is respected.

Twice within three months the Earl
of Yarmouth fell desperately in love
with a Miss Thaw, according to a
Pittsburg special dispatch. In both
instances he pressed his suit vigorous
ly. In the first he got the mitten
without any hesitation whatever; in
the second he was successful. Last
December he visited Pittsburg, where
the Thaws live, as the guest of Harry
K. Thaw. 1t chances that Harry has
a pretty little aunt of twenty-one
named Elizabeth and a pretty sister
of twenty-five named Alice. It was
Miss Elizabeth Thaw who first thawed
the Yarmouth heart and set it afiame,
and in less than no time he was on his
knees to her. But Miss Elizabeth
wouldn't have him and told him so
fatty and firmly. few days later it
was announced that Miss Elizabeth
was engaged to be married to Henry
Collins, lieutenant in the United
States navy. Without hesitation the
noble visitor transferred his affections
to Miss Alice, whom he found to be
more receptive, and their engagement
followed. Each of the Misses Thaw
is worth more than $1OOO,OO0 in her
own right.

Query That stunned TiIIman.

Senator. Tillman was once sent by
the Democratic Congressional Commit
tee out to Kentucky to crate for the
ticket, says the Baltimore News. The
first speech he made there up to a GER
tain point was a great success. He
spoke of the necessity of electing in
eorruptible men to Congress, such as
the Democracy of this district has
chosen to represent the people at
Washington"
Just at this moment some one in the
crowd interrupted with:
Would DR.. Claherty sell out?"
What's that?' asked Tlllman, some
what riled at this break in his train of
thoughts
Would Or. Claherty sell out?" re-
peated the questioner.
And who the blazes is DR.. Claher-
tyr asked Tillmsn
He's the man you're asking US 10
vote for" came the prompt response.
The Senator was stunned, and could
only blurt out. i never hard OF him
before
