HUCKSTERS' CRIES
DISTURB CITIZENS.

Considerable complaint is being made
by citizens, especially those of the
southern sections of the city, that
the hucksters are not observing the
ordinance that prohibits them crying
their wares before o'clock in the
morning. Many persons whose duties
require them to be up late at night
and who as a consequence sleep late
in the mornings have been so disturbed
recently that they desire the atten-
ton of the police department called
to the matter.

Minister Cham berIain's Propositiou.
Editor of the Morning News: Your
editorial under this title in Sundays
issue reminds me that Mr.. Chamber
lain has succeeded in calling public
attention to the primary truth that
war is costly practice, as you truly
say Great Britain is not likely to
abandon her present policy of open
markets for the world in order to adopt
the exploded falacy of a protective
tariff, but in some way she must pro
vide for the payment of the immense
cost of the war in South Africa.
The Free Trader need not fear
retrogressive movement in the direc-
ton of increased tariff, but he may
anticipate a forward movement which
will cause the people who have to foot
the bills to hesitate before engaging
in attack upon any foreign power
having learned that it is not only use
less but that whatever benefit APP
parently comes to the victor both ma
tions are involved in debt and no
matter how intelligent the nation ii
retrogrades, and progress is hindered
for a generation by every conflict.
Unjust tariff engenders friction and
jealousy, and thus prepare the way
for war, and when this is over more
duties are imposed in order to settle
the cost.
Free trade tends toward peace, war
is often the result of unjust discrim-
ination and trade restriction.
So when the political economist and
the moralist compare notes it will be
found that permission to trade freely
with all the world subject only to the
natural obstruction of distance will
tend toward the perfection of the bond
of union which we now consider as n
possible ideal and the brotherhood of
man will be perfected when natural
trade takes the place of the present
artificial system.
So Mr.. Chamberlain win become a
messenger of good. although TO the

City Officers Certain Snvannahians

More water is being used in Savan-

The average daily pumpage at the
