A detective story that Is good and srtojpg
enough to have won a prize of *2.000 In open
competition against the efforts of the writ
ers of the world must necessarily be an
extraordinary story. That is what “The
Long Arm.” by Miss Mary E. Wilkins,
did. The story is only some 12,000 words
long, which makes it probably the most
expensive short story ever published. The
Morning News has purchased the right to
this remarkable story In this section, and
will on Aug. 3 begin its publication in the
daily edition. The instalments will contain
about 2,000 words each, and the story will
run through six days.
The skeletons in the closet did not
worry Holmes a bit. He made them pay
rent.
It appears that Senator Gorman’s hand
has not lost its cunning in politics; and,
furthermore, that the cunning little hand
still knows how to take hold to throttle op
position.
Whether Corbett and Fitzsimmons fight
In Mexico or on this side of the dividing
line, it is pretty sure that they would not
consent to the purse being made up of
63-cent Mexican dollars.
The dispatches say no Indians have
been seen about Jackson Hole for three
or four days. The Princeton students
who were recently in that section of the
country must have given their college
yell as they passed through.
It is rather early yet to talk about the
candidates for the governorship in the next
election, nevertheless, the reports age to
the effect that Judge Hines is in training
to make another race for the place. He
has recently made several speeches on the
currency question.
A Chicago dispatch gives details of the
fine points of play made in a game of foot
ball a day or two ago by Eugene V. Debs,
who is nominally in Jail at Woodstock,
111., for contempt of court. It Beems that
Debs' imprisonment is in a Pickwickian
sense only, and that he is having a good
time and growing fat.
The Atlanta Constitution says the
“slump of the tax returns” is due to the
"operations of the financial policy of the
administration.” The report from Way
cross, upon the authorliy of Mr. Wilkin
son, is that the slump of the Ware county
returns "is mostly due to the great loss
of cattle in the great freeze of last win
ter.” It must follow, therefore, that the
Constitution holds that the operations of
the administration's financial policy
brought on the great freeze of last win
ter.
The Tax Returns.
The decrease in the amount of the tax
returns from many of the counties this
year in comparison with the amount re
turned in previous years, is the subject
of a good deal of comment. For the pur
pose of making a point in favor of the
free coinage of silver the sliverites are as
serting that the decrease in the amount
of the returns is due to the fact that our
mints are not open to the free and un
limited coinage of silver. They do not
give ahy satisfactory reason for their as
sertion. If they had reasons to give they
would not hesitate to give them. It would
afford them a great deal of satisfaction to
be able to show that the state is on the
down that it is losing its wealth and
population. In order to, make a point in
behalf of silver, they advertise that
Georgia is moving toward poverty, instead
of prosperity.
Is it a fact that Georgia is declining In
wealth and population? We bclliy as
sert that it is not. We believe that the
people of Georgia, the farmers especially,
are in more comfortable circumstances
than they have been for many years. In
the towns there may be people who are
having a pretty hard struggle to make a
living, because some of the avenues of
employment that were open to them be
fore the hard times that followed the
panic of lsS3 are still closed, but few of
these people are taxpayers. It is true that
the cotton planters received a very low
price for their last cotton crop, but they
made it cheaply and they are about out of
debt. Their fruit crops this year have
been excellent and the corn crop Is as
good as was ever made in the state.
Farming land cannot be purchased for
less money per acre now than It could two
or three years ago. and it Is doubtful if
live stoek. with the exception of horses,
can be *, bought any cheaper. Why Is it
then that there Is such a falling off in the
tax returns in so many of the counties?
The main reason Is the- panic of 1493 has
made the people feel they are poorer. Last
year they placed a lower valuation on
their property and they are doing the
same thing this year. In our dispatches
from Atlanta, published yesterday, it is
stated that the- belief prevails that the ac
tion of a Fulton county grand Jury, which
recommended some time buck that owing
to the hard times the people be permitted
to place a lower valuation on their prop
erty. has had much to do with the falling
off in the tax returns. The impression hns
gone out from Atlanta .that the people of
the cities are placing a lower valuation
on their property, and the people of the
country are acting in accordance with
that impression.
If silver had anything to do with the
matter the decrease in the amount of the
returns would have begun years ago, and
it would have been noticeable In all the
counties. Asa matter of fact, there was
a pretty steady increase in the amount of
the tax returns for years before the panic
of 1493 and In some of the counties this year
there is no decrease. If silver is the cause
of the “slump." why is it that there is not
a decrease In all the counties?
The sliverites will have to find better
arguments than this of the tax returns
to support the cause of silver, or else it
will have very little support. Has there
been a falling off in the amount of tax re
turns in every other state? The sliverites
must show there has before they can hope
to have accepted their theory that the de
nial of free and unlimited coinage to silver
i* making the country poorer.
The Truth Cropping Out.
We have had a suspicion that the col
ored people who have gone to Liberia
from the south have not found the op
portunities there for improving their ma
terial condition as great as they had been
led to believe. If the story told by three
of the returned immigrants, who are now
in Philadelphia trying to find means to
get back to their old homes In Arkan
sas, is true, the experience of those who
left this port for Liberia a few months
ago has been one of great hardships and
sufferings. According to a dispatch in
the Morning News yesterday they were
dumped out on the shore on their arrival
in Liberia and told to shift for them
selvesi What were they to do? It is
probable that the government was ready
and willing to donate to them twenty
live acres of land, or any other num
ber of acres, but the land doubtless was
a long way inland and covered with a
thick growth of timber and underbrush.
To clear even an acre of such land and
prepare It for cultivation would require
the labor of several men for a year or
There are practically no means of earn
ing money in Liberia, because there is
little or no demand for labor. Those who
are fortunate enough to find employment
are paid wages that are barely sufficient
to buy food enough to keep body and
soul together.
And the climate is about as bad as it
can possibly be. The deadly African fe
ver makes short work of Us victims, and
the percentage of its victims among new
comers is large.
How many of those who left Savannah
a few Aonths ago are still alive is not
known. The three of the party who are
now in Philadelphia say that many have
died, and that nearly all the others are
existing in a half starved condition. They
have been driven by hunger to eat what
ever they can find in the forests that
will sustain life. Without food and with
out the means of procuring it, and being
ill with fever they have had One long
regret doubtless that they ever left their
comfortable homes In this country.
The colored people ought to be made
acquainted with the truth about Liberia,
so that those who emigrate to that coun
try will not be disappointed. Unfortu
nately the great majority of those who
are preparing to go to Liberia refuse to
believe those who tell them what they
may expect on their arrival there. They
accept the statements of the Immigration
ugents, and decline to listen to their real
/riends. Only experience with the hard
ships of Liberia will convince them of
their mistake in selling their belongings
in this country and taking the chuneis
of bettering their condition In Liberia,
of which country they know nothing.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, AUGUST 1. 189.3.
The Stale I*re on Money.
The organs of the free silver movement
have been somewhat persistent in the
claim that the majority of the press of
Georg!* favor that movement. It has not
been long, indeed, since at least one of
those organs asserted that the Georgia
weekly press were practically unanimous
in favor of free silver. The Macon Tele
graph has made a canvass of ail of tha
political papers !h the state for the pur
pose of ascertaining how they stand on
the money question, ai. I the replies it has
received not only refute the claims of the
silver organs, but show that a great ma
jority of the Georgia papers are in favor
of sound money and democratic supre
macy. The Telegraph sent to all of the
papers this query: “Does your paper ad
vocate the free, unlimited and Independent
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1?”
That is the issue before the people. It re
ceived HI replies, of which eighty-nine
were In favor of sound money and fifty
five in favor of free silver. Among the
latter were a number from populist or
gans. while there was not one from a
populist paper, naturally, among the
former. Furthermore, when an editor's
reply indicated hostility towards the ad
ministration, his paper was classed among
those favoring free silver, whether or not
the reply was positive on that point.
The Telegraph's classification shows the
strength of the sound money and the sil
ver papers, by congressional districts, to
stand thus, the number of sound money
papers being given first: First district,
seven to three; Second district, eight to
five; Third district, ton to eight; Fourtn
district, seven to eight; Fifth district,
eight to six; Sixth disiriet, ten to three;
Seventh district, five to four; Eighth dis
trict, four to three; Ninth district, eleven
to four; Tenth district, four to nine;
Eleventh district, thirteen to two. It will
be observed that the free silver papers
outnumber the sound money papers only
in those districts which arc strongly pop
ulistic, the Fourth and Tenth, for In
stance, and that the number of free sil
ver papers approaches the number of
sound money papers only In those sections
where the politics of the congressional
representatives and of the leading news
papers has been strongly impregnated
with ideas that are unorthodox from a
democratic point of view. Thus the rub
is pretty close in the Third, Fourth anl
Fifth 'districts, though the sound money
papers outnumber the others by two in
the three districts. In South Georgia,
where the people have had straight democ
racy preached to them, the sound money
papers outnumber the others by three to
one. Of the thirty-eight papers in the
First, Second and Eleventh districts which
replied to the Telegraph’s query, twenty
eight of them are for sound money. Con
gressman Turner’s district heads the list
with thirteen sound money papers against
two cheap money papers.
The Joke is on the women, or their
husbands, und Dame Fashion and tha
silk makers and sellers are the parties
on the other side. Some time ago there
was an overstock of silk. Prices went
down in consequence, and merchants and
manufacturers were blue. In their emer
gency liame Fashion came to their res
cue. She invented and popularized big
sleeves—the bigger the better. The effect
has been, as might have been foreseen,
that the surplus of silk stock has been
eaten up by the big sleeves. The demand
for silk for Waists with big sleeves ha*
been unprecedented. The stocks being
now worked down, prices are advancing
There has already been a material ad
vance in the price of raw silk, which
will be reflected in the prices charged
at the retail stores within a short while.
For a year or such a matter silk goods
have been almost as cheap as woolen
goods; but they will hardly be so very
much longer.
It is to be hoped that the successful bid
der for the work of constructing the su
perstructure of the Savannah postoillce
will name Georgia marble as the material
to be used. The structure is for the ac
commodation of the government’s busi
ness in a great and growing city, and
must serve its purpose for maybe a hun
dred years. It it was to be a temporary
affair, almost any material would an
swer. But when the building is once up,
it is going to stay, ami if it should prove
anything but a first class building, hi ma
terial, workmanship and everything else,
the city would after a while outgrow it.
A pinchbeck building in a sterling town
would be out of place.
The Vigilant's victory over the Defend
er oh Tuesday, on the run from Eaton
Point to Huntington Harbor, does not
count. The Defender was five minutes
ahead when she was compelled to quit
because of an to her steering
gear. Had such an accident occurred in
a regular race the Defender would have
lost It, of course, but the test of speed
was not in a regular race, hence the
Vigilant's victory was empty.
It is probably well that some of those
who favor the free and unlimited coinage
of silver are giving attention to the kola
nut. If their monetary schemes were to
bo adopted, it might be necessary to pro
vide the wage-earners with something that
would enable them, to get along without
meat. It is said that the natives of Africa
carry heavy burdens all day on their heads
after having eaten one or two of the nuts
and nothing else.
It is reported that the father of Convict-
Suicide Porter Stocks will not push an In
lnvestlgatlon as to the cause of
the death of his son, because he
is satisfied that Porter had been
drinking heavily and killed himself in
a lit of despondency. Are convicts in the
Georgia penitentiary permitted to drink
heavily when they please?
The presence of the Tillman brothers,
George and Bon, as delegates In the South
Carolina constitutional convention will
probably lead to some pretty lively tilts
between them. Ex-Congressman (George)
Tillman does not indorse all of his broth -
er Ben’s vagaries, and may be counted
upon to attack some of them on the
floor of the convention.

CURRENT COMMENT.
|
Good Money, nn<l Plenty of It.
From Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.).
It is the plea of the free sllverltes that
they want more money. England Is now
commenting on the fact that tih© hundreds
of rr-Hiionr. which Britishers are wont to
invest In the United States are at pres
ent kept at home in the bank vaults on
account of the agitation for a change in
our monetary system. The free sllverltes
are clamoring for more money—bad money
—and are keep.ng out of thie country mil
lions of more money—as good as the
best money.
Still Deliev© in Santa Clans. ,
From Talbotton (Ga.) New Era (Dem.).
Certain people, we are told, must not
be believed because they have changed
their opinion. For example, Carlisle is
said to have once favored free silver, but
now opposes It, and so he Is not honest
and must not be believed. We do not
wish to cull your attention to the fact
that wise men change tiielr opinions, fools
never, but we know several persons who
once believed In the mythical Santa
Claus, who do not do so now, and still
people have confidence In them and be
lieve them, despite the change of opin
ion.
Silver in lowa.
From Springfield (Mass.) Republican (Ind.)
Not one of the strongly democratic coun
ties in lowa has chosen free silver dele
gates to the state convention which is to
be held next week, and there was a contest
in all of them. The only victories won
by the sliver crowd were in counties w-hleh
are hopelessly republican. This is perhaps
the most noteworthy sign of all of reac
tion in the weak money movement. lowa
democracy has heretofore been strongly
silvered o’er, and ex-Gov. Boies, the leader
of the party, once lately came out afresh
for free coinage.
The People Are Learning.
Milledgeville (Ga.) Union Recorder (Dem.).
The people are deeply Interested In the
financial question, and are becoming thor
oughly posted on every phase of the ques
tion. They are learning that the free,
unlimited and independent coinage of sil
ver at 16 to 1 means silver monometallism.
That it will not benefit the workingman,
because wages will not be increased, but
he will be compelled to pay twice as
much for the necessities of life. That the
silver dollar now In circulation Is worth
100 cents, kept so by the power and prom
ise of the government, and that by the
free and unlimited coinage the govern
ment will be relieved from all such re
sponsibility. and that the dollar will be
worth only its commercial value. The
people, in the face of these facts, are
not going to commit their country to
this ruinous policy.
Growth of an Idea.
Prom the Nashville American (Dem.).
First the demand was free coinage of
silver, then came the additional demand
for the ratio 16 to 1, then was added "un
limited" and this year brought to the
front "independent. So it is easy to see
how the pro -' ss of evolution progressed.
From "free comage." with no mention of
ratio or other descriptive terms the sil
ver demand has gradually taken on ad
juncts until now it takes the long and
full-mouthed phrase, "the free, unlimited
and independent coinage of sliver at 16
to 1" to express the demand of our silver
friends. \\ h other they will stop at this
cannot be predicted; for as these tuils
mnnic words have l,een assimilating oth
ers from time to lime there Is no telling
when some other new demand will ts
j added, exemplified by a dignified word,
j However, while ihe words of the demand

Some Vigoronn Boston English.
The* introduction of each new sport
brings into common usance many terms
and phrases unknown to the dictionaries,
says the Boston Journal. Rhetoricians
have often been worried by the wonder
fully large vocabulary which a simple
game or a single science can control.
Electricity, for example, has made reputa
ble the use of scores of words which
Noah Webster never heard, and other
scientific investigations have been simi
larly prolific in new terms. Base ball
has naturally had its share in the manu
facture of terms and almost everybody
knows what is meant by "grounder,”
"base-runner” and bleachers.” But as
an indication of what is yet in store for
our unsettled English speech, we quote
the following account of a bail game
taken from the Quincy (111.) Herald. It
tells the story of a match between the
nine of Quincy and that of Omaha, a
neighboring town:
' The glass armed toy soldiers of this
town were fed to the pigs yesterday by
the cadaverous grave robbers from Oma
ha The flabby, one-lunged Reubens who
represent the Gem City in the reckless
rush to.' the base ball pennant had their
shins toasted by the basilisk eyed cat
tle drivers from the west. They stood
around and suffered the grizzly yaps of
Omaha to run the bases till their necks
were long with thirrt. Hickey had more
errors than "Coin's FMnanefod School"
and led the rheumatic procession to the
morgue. The Qulncys were full of straw
and scrap iron. They couldn’t hit a
brick wagon with a pickax, and Tan bases
like pall bearers at a funeral. If three
base hits were growing on the back of
every* man’s neck they couldn't reach ’em
with a feather duster. It looked as if
the Amalgamated I'nlon of South Ameri
can Hoodos was In session for work in the
thirty-th*j !i degree. The geezers stood
about anti whistled for help and were so
weak they couldn't lift a glass of beer if
it had been ail foam. Everything was
yellow, rooky and whangbasted like a glass
full of doodle-gatqjnon. The game was
whiskers*! and frost bitten. The Ohahogs
were bad enough, but the Quincy Brown
Sox had their fins sewed up until they
couldn't hold a crazy quilt unleea it was
tied around their necks."
In the light of such graphic English,
comment is out of place, and We pause in
mute admiration as we note the vigor,
the trenchant clearness, ar.d the remark
able individuality of this description.
These are surely great days for the ne
ologists.
Reed and His Gloves.
Tom Reed never wears a silk hat, says
the Chicago Tribune, lie bought one six
years ago and braved public sentiment
beneath it for nearly a fortnight, but
he couldn't hear tho-pressure any longer
than that. It made him uncomfortable.
It didn't lit the bumps, on his head, and
altogether he didn't think it harmonized
with the contour of his face or of his
body. Hats have always been a source
of trouble and annoyance to him. When
he first came to congress he wore a lit
tle saucer-like arrangement, with a nar
row brim, tnat made his face look twice
its natural size, and gave him generally
a schoolboy air. His friends weaned him
of that, but they have never been able
to induce him to give any particular
attention to dress.
It Is only lately that Mr. Reed has
taken to wearing gloves, except in the
coldest weather. The day the print of
the tariff bill, with its innumerable com
mittee amendments appeared, Reed
walked into the House, hung up his hat
In the cloak-room, and began to wan
der about the floor, conspicuously hold
ing the bill before him in his gloved
hands. *
Baker of New Hampshire caught on to
the queer combination, and whispered
hurriedly to Lioutelle, “For heaven's sake
speak to Reed! He’ll be wandering around
here absent-mindedly all day with his
gloves on if you don't.”
Houtelle sidled up to his big colleague
and began to pull his coat sleeve. "Get
back into the cloak-room, Tom," he whis
pered, "and pull off your gloves, ''you’ll
have the whole House laughing at you."

A Story of Bishop Poller.
There is a story about Bishop IVitter go
ing the rounds, says the New York Sun.
Last year the bishop went out to Tuxedo
to confirm a class of young people in the
new church there. A young matron who
had been a member of the congregation
of Grace church while the bishop was its
rector, and had been herself confirmed and
married by him, wrote and insisted that
he should stop with her during his stay at
Tuxedo. He accepted. Asa particular
honor she adorhed his room with an elab
orate toilet set of solid silver that includ
ed more than a dozen pieces. The bishop
came, confirmed the candidates, and went
away. But the silver toilet set could not
be found. It was not on the dressing
table nor in the bath room, and the ma
trons astonishment was great. Her an
noyance was almost as great, and for two
days she wondered what could have be
come of the sot and whether the bishop
had supposed it was a present. On the
third day she summoned up courage
enough to write him and ask if by mis
take his man. or one of the servants, had
packed up the silver toilet set with his
luggage and it had been overlooked in
unpacking, etc. The bishop answered
promptly, for the next day she received
this telegram. “Am poor, but honest.
Look In the table drawer.” The young
woman did look, and the toilet set was
found there. The following day a letter
arrived from the ‘bishop saying that he
had put the silver toilet articles away, as
he did not need them, and had forgotten
to speak about it. He wrote that he
traveled with a very simple set of his
own. and the silver outlay dazzled him
so that ho wanted to get it out of sight.
l’nlilic Tuste 1m Continued.
Mr. B— built himself a house some
years ago, says a writer in Harper’s Mag
azine. The architecture was simplicity,
as a friend said, “to a riotous degree.” It
was correspondingly pure, and the house
was correspondingly comfortable. The
effect of tho lines, however, upon the
untutored mind was not impressive. A
friend visiting Mr. B—’s town, inquiring
the way to the house, was told by the
boy of whom he asked the question to
“go long ’bout a—well, a mile, till you
come to a bouse ’at looks like a barn,
only it ain't a barn, an' that's hisn.”
B— enjoyed the description and told
his architect, who made a fw remarks
about public taste which would have of
fended public taste very much to hear.
"That's their verdict,” said the archi
tect; "but what does it amount to? It
simply proves—” etc., etc.
Two weeks later three friends of B
rode up from town on horseback, entered
the grounds, and stopped before the house.
One of them dismounted and rang the
bell, and B— himself opened the door.
"Whoa!” cried all three riders at once.
B— almost swooned.
The horses had tried unanimously to
walk in.
They recognized the “simplicity" of the
architect ,and the architect himself lia3
had to admit that popular taste sometimes
receives indorsement from unexpected
quarters.
He is now trying to get B— to let him
try again.
