A jiUHii.EK country would much bettor

that there might he a wiser celebiation
religion, in war, and especially in busi
ness, mutual aid is the salvation and
conservator of the whole body
politic. When a new enterprise
is begun in a community and men de
cline to patronize it from motives of in
difference or falsely conceived economy,
oftener than otherwise they are unwit
tingly destroying their own props and,
mutilating their own prospects. When
ever a particular business goes to the
wall in a community that business is
dead. It can Butler no longer. But the
community whose indifference killed it
is left to mourn it—to mourn it from self
ish reasons it may be, but to mourn it
bitterly still. Men who remember that
a dozen distinctly different trades and
occupations are represented in the food
they cat and the clothes they wear, must
realize in a new sense the truth
of the saying that it is
not good for man to be alone.
There is often more profit in giving
patronage than in receiving it, or at least
in many instances the giving of patron
age insures the reception of a great deal,
as, for instance, when a merchant ad
vertises in a newspaper. All the mer
chant princes of this generation have
voluntarily attributed their prosperity to
of the queen’s long reign than any yet
proposed. The Prince of Wales wants a I printer’s ink. it is the fabled philoso-
permanent colonial exhibition or insti- pher’s stone which turns everything it
tute. The queen would have no initia- touches into gold. In the face of this the
itve, under existing custom, in making first man remains to be found who failed
an Irish jubilee for the occasion in a freed
Ireland; but if the queen took as great an
interest in an independent Ireland as she
docs in an independent Bulgaria, the year
of the Irish jubilee would have a mighty
good showing.
II0.N. IV. C. OATES.
Hon. W. C. Oates, member of congress
from the third Alabama district, made us
a very pleasant visit last evening. Col.
Oates is recognized in all this section of
country as a man of rare ability, who, hh
a business man, has achieved for himself
a reputation which is c > extensive with
his state, and wherever ii - is known his
integrity, his ability and h: fidelity to all
trusts imposed in him, and his eompre-
froin loo much advertising. Evidently
it pays in all instances to patronize one’s
neighbor, and especially if one’s
neighbor happens to be a newspaper.
A newspaper is no more deserving of
patronage than any other legitimate
business. It only happens, in the nature
of things, that it pays better to patron
ize a' newspaper than anything. Many
do not believe this, but they are of that
class who are given over to unbelief, and
who discover the truth after it is too late
to profit by it.
TIIE TECH If OLOti ICA I, SCHOOL.
The Enquirer-Sun has taken no part in
the active contest which has been carried
on over the location of the technological
hensivo grasp of national and fate alfulrs : school. When it was demonstrated that
Columbus would not likely undertake to
secure the school, for reasons which ap
peared entirely plausible, we believed
t lull the location should tie loft to the
wisdom of the commissioners without
suggestions from outsiders. Hut now

as the place il V proper for us to say that

only to Atlanta, but to the entire state
of Georgia. II, therefore, should meet

Blaine tells a reporter: “1 can speak in Penn

ai»y other state for the reason that the republi
cans have put a plank in their platform advo
cating the submission of I he prohibition question

decide the matter. It was what we did in Maine
in 1858, and I can tell them in Pennsylvania how
it worked in Maine.”
Accobding to “Gath” the nomination of
Abram S. Ilewitt for mayor by the nearly mnited

for the administration at Albany, while Mr.

Mr. Elder, the proprietor of “Literary
Life,” and Miss Koso Elizabeth Cleve
land, whom he had employed to edit the
journal, have fallen out, and Miss Rose
lias laid by her pen and her paste. Miss
Cleveland lias shown that she can draw
the line between tlie legitimate reputa
tion due to her talent as a writer and the
notoriety which her Chicago publisher
lias been 60 fertile in expedients to keep
before the public, because she happens to
be the sister of the president,
liis advertising paragraphs, pur
porting to give sundry phases
of Miss Cleveland’s editorial ex
perience, her dissent from this or that
measure pioposed by her publisher, and
of numerous matters with which the pub
lic had no business, have proved to he so
many boomerangs. Miss Cleveland states
that she has severed her connection with
Literary Life. It is to be presumed that
Mr. Elder's advertising mania will he

not hasten to make known the fact that
Miss Cleveland lias left his paper.
thi: oi.komiiuiarim: tax.
It appears that the commissioner of
internal revenue has not yet received
any response from Attorney-General < iar-
lnnd in answer to the request for an
i opinion regarding the taxation of oleo-
| margarine when not colored or flavored
! to imitate butter. A Washington special
| says that there is sharp disagreement
| upon this point between Commissioner
Miller and Congressman Hatch. It was
the judgment of Col. Hatch, as well as
other members of the house agricultural
committee, that tlie oleomargarine hill
was so framed as to only levy a tax upon
such productions as were an imitation of
butter. Col. Hatch stated emphatically
upon the floor during tlie discussion of
the oleomargarine bill, that oleomarga
rine if not colored and flavored to imitate
butter, would not be subject to tax. Mr.
Miller after a careful examination oft he
text of the bill, was of the opinion that
it compelled the payment of the tax even
if tlie coloring and flavoring matter is
not used. He does not question the in
tention of those who framed the bill, but
as lie must exact it according to tlie text,
and not according to the intentions of
members of congress, his regulations re
quire the payment of tax in all cases.
After the issue of the regulations, how
ever, it was regarded as prudent to se
cure the opinion of tlie attorney-general
upon the question of interpretation. As
