Over 20,000 registered women voters in
Boston in 1888; over 10,000 in 1889, and
less than 8000 in 1890. This looks as if
the list was growing gradually smaller and
beautifully less as time rolls on.
Henry Cabot Lodge, the author of the
infamous Force bill, is determined to make
himself notorious. He has now another
measure ready for introduction which is
to restrict immigration. The fact that
Lodge has proposed this measure is good
ground for mspicion that there .is some
thing mischievous in it.
According to the Chicago Inter-Ocean
two prominent theatrical managers of that
city have formed a partnership for the
erection of a new thespian temple in New
York. The idea is to erect a theater which
will surpass in size, beauty and conveni
ence anything of the kind now possessed
by New York, and which, when com
pleted, will be a nearer approach to the
Chicago Auditorium than anything now
in existence.
A good woman out in Kansas hurls at
Secretary Tracy and the whole navy de
partment a fierce tirade on account of the
breaking of a bottle of wine at the baptism
of the Maine. Unmolitied by the fact that
the wine was spilled, not drunk, she
denounces the “bacchanal libation” and
all who “have not only turned a deaf ear
to the wailing of the hearts and importun
ing of the lips of the mothers of the land
in regard to the liquor evil, but have also
committed a sacrilege.”
THE QUESTION OF BETTERMENTS.
The claim of the lessees of the Western
and Atlantic railroad for “betterments,”
which has been persistently pressed upon
the attention of the State for some years,
and as persistently ignored, is one which
should be met and disposed of by the
State in a business-like way. Heretofore,
this claim, when presented, has been ac
companied with threats of wrecking this
great property if it was not allowed.
Now, the lessees respectfully petition
an investigation and adjustment of this
claim. We do not see how the State on
any justifiable ground, can refuse to grant
this petition. While the people of Georgia
have never shown any disposition to con
cede the merits of the claim, still there
can be no doubt of their willingness to sub
mit the question to a fair and honorable
adjudication. As we understand it, this is
all the lessees ask, and the State of Georgia
cannot afford to dismiss them with less.
On the 27th day of the current month,
the old lease will terminate and the new
lease go into effect. While the better
ments claim will not furnish any compli
cation so far as the new lease is concerned,
there should be a full and complete settle
ment with the outgoing lessees. That is
due the lessees, and it will be, in all res
pects, to the best interest of the State, as
it will put at rest forever a long standing
contention. How the merit of the claim is
to be investigated and determined
is a question for the wisdom, and the
statesmanship, and the patriotism of the
Legislature. A pending resolution in the
General Assembly proposes that the Gov
ernor shall appoint a commission of five
citizens of the State, of integrity and abil
ity, to carefully investigate the claim and
decide upon it, and that decision shall be
final. We are not prepared to say whether
this course would be the best. In appoint
ing such a commission, Gorvernor
Northen could be relied on with
the utmost confidence to zealously
guard the interest of the State,
The question at issue, however, is purely a
legal one, and perhaps should be submitted
to a legal tribunal for final arbitrament.
In this view of the matter, it would un
doubtedly give more satisfaction, both to
the people of Georgia and to the lessees, to
submit the whole question, in all its de
tails, to the Supreme Court of the State,
the highest established judicial tribunal.
But whatever course is best, it is clearly
the duty of the State to give the claim a
proper hearing and determine it fairly and
justly.
THE GEORGIA MILITIA.
LET HIM IN.
The indications are that the volunteer
military service will fare well at the hands
of the 2»resent Legislature. The State
Military Advisory Board, at a meeting at
the capital last week, adopted some im
portant resolutions looking to an improve
ment of the service. The board endorsed
the Holtzclaw bill asking an appropriation
of $25,000 per annum for the maintenance
of the State troops. A resolution was
drafted providing for a permanent encamp
ment, and entrusted to Mr. Gilbert, of
Muscogee, a member of the board, with in
structions to press its passage before the
Legislature. A resolution was also adop
ted to prohibit all unenlisted companies
from parading under arms. It was also
ordered that no regiment consisting of less
than ten companies be allowed to organ
ize. The board also requested the Gover
nor to make a requisition on the War De
partment to detail an officer of the army
for service in Georgia in the inspection of
State troops, to be under the order of the
Governor.
The eighth annual meeting of the Mis
sissippi State Horticultural Society opens
at Jackson, December 10, and will con
tinue four days. The society is one of the
most important of its kind in the South,
and has done much to advance horticul
ture in Mississippi. The coming meeting
promises to be a most interesting one, as
no less than twenty important papers will
be read. There will be a general discus
sion of other matters relating to fruit,
vegetables, flowers, and kindred subjects.
The fact that the present fruit crop has
been a partial failure has not affected
horticulture in the slightest degree in Mis
sissippi. The fruit-growers and farmers
generally of that State recognize how
well suited it is to the raising of fruits,
and will continue to devote more atten
tion each year to them.
An associated press dispatch from Paris,
Ky, states that on Thursday, while Mrs.
J. Harry Brent, the wife of a wealthy
gentleman of that city, and prominent in
social circles, was sitting talking with her
children, the muscles of her right leg sud
denly and violently contracted, which
caused her to fall to the floor. As she be
gan to scream with the pain the bone of
the thigh broke just below the hip joint.
A physician was summoned, but could do
nothing for her. Shortly after her left leg
broke in the some manner. Her sufferings
are intense and her death is hourly ex
pected. Paris physicians say the case is
unprecedented, and that, while bones have
been broken by muscular contraction,
there lias always been some well-defined
cause, while Mrs. Brent has been appar
ently well. It is thought by her physic
ians that she is a victim of muscular rheu
matism.
The kissing parson has turned up in
Nebraska. He is the Rev. Mr. Guild, of
Jamaica, and he is a Baptist. After kiss
ing all the females in his own church and
congregation, he ventured to osculate the
pretty wife of Rev. Mr. Chapman, a
brother Baptist. But just there Parson
Chapman drew ’he line, and when he met
the Rev. Guild he cursed him, shook his
fist in his face, and drew his pistol, threat
ening to perforate him with bullets.
Guild caused Chapman’s church to arraign
him on the charge of conduct unbecoming
a minister, and Chapman caused Guild’s
church to arraign him on a similar charge.
When Guild was tried, he admitted kiss-
Mrs. Chapman, but defended himself
with the words of St. Paul: “Greet all
the brethren with a holy kiss.”
The Enquikeb-Sun has referred to the
action of a large body of colored men in
the West in reference to representation for
their race at the World's Fair in Chicago,
which is apparently causing the esteemed
managers of that big show some worry.
They are dubious about the advisability or
propriety of giving the colored citizens a
prominent place in the exhibition. Com
menting on the predicament in which these
high salaried officials find themselves, the
New York World, in the following edi
torial of genuine humor gives them some
pointers. Hear the World:
Why should not the brother in black
have a place at the World’s Fair.
For the best part of a century he was
the axis on which this country revolved.
His presence made the South and his
absence made the West; his labor
has enriched the North and his wrongs
have been the standing solace of that
East, which is never happy unless call
ing attention to some one else s sins.
Talk of Grant and Lincoln, of Jackson
and Lee—who made them but our friend
in sable with the the corrugated hair? Be
hold in him the father of the tariff and the
corner-stone of the pension list. Great iu
philosophy as (in statecraft, he sat snugly
at home strumming his banjo while the
white trash perforated each other, and
when the perforation was over stepped to
the front like a little man and, giving each
side a shell, took the oyster himself.
True, the fair is a fair in honor of Co
lumbus and the brother in black was not
here at the date of the discovery, but
neither was the brother in white. Both
are exotics, and the only difference in the
way thev got here is that the white man
was kicked over here in one ship and the
black man was lugged over in another.
The colored brother is an integral part
of this country, and it isn’t fair to shut
him out of the show. There is a rich
mine of fun and a great many square miles
of solidity in him, and both should be util
ized.
Let him come and sing the songs of the
cabin and cotton field, a melody as far ex
celling burnt cork fol-de-rol as the peach
excels the pumpkin; let musical virtuosos
listen and say if untutored nature cannot
give points to art.
Let the old-time aunties come and chal
lenge the best chefs in the land and a jury
of professional bon vivants determine the
great culinary contest of Africa against
Gaul.
Let the Southern black man, unawed,
unbribed, uncoached, have his interroga
tion days on which all sorts of people can
ask his opinion on all sorts of things, and
so see and know him not as this party
paints him or thatj'but as he really is.
Lastly, put up old Dinah and see how
she will make the fur fly from the recip
rocity of Brother Blaine. Give her a peck
of meal and a representative delegation
from those nations which abhor this par
ticular breadstuff, and let her show them
by wbat simple processes the seemingly
vapid stuff can be converted into appetiz
ing and nutritious food. They will carry
the news back to their people and the gold
en wealth of the prairie will no longer
burn on the Western heath.
The brother in black waits at the door,
and it is moved that the doorkeeper be in
structed to let him in.
Kedacki at a Wreck.
Superintendent Hosted, of the Cincin
nati, Hamilton and Dayton, doesn’t like
the kodak, and his experience of the
last few days does not lessen his dislike.
When the wreck occurred at Oxford the
“kodak fiends” were ont in force to
make sketches of the scene. As a bnsi-
ness proposition Mr. Hus ted objected to
photography of the affair being sent
broadcast over the country, and many of
the kodak manipulators consented to
his request and left the place. One chap
with a fine instrument would not listen
to anything and insisted on taking a
picture. At last the superintendent told
him he was trespassing on the company’s
grounds, and the man with the kodak
remarked that he would go to an adjoin
ing field and secure a view.
The superintendent told him that he
would be trespassing there also. This
made the chap angry. Mr Hosted is an
exceedingly mild mannered man, bat he
grew warm under the collar. “I have
tried to treat you as a gentleman,” ex
claimed he, “and you won’t let me.
Now, I'll treat you like a tough. If you
attempt to make a picture of this wreck
HI smash that kodak over your infernal
head.” The kodak fiend evidently be
lieved that Husted would make his word
good, for he went back to Oxford on a
work train.
While Superintendent Husted was
thus engaged Chief Engineer Porter and
his assistants were chasing kodak fiends
over the surrounding country with clubs.
The wary men with the cameras didn't
hold choice points of view, but it's fail
to guess that they are loaded with snap
shots at that wreck.—Indianapolis News.

A Story of 5,000 manuscripts.
I know an editor who is at the head of
a popular periodical which, from its pe
culiar character, invites and receives
probably more manuscripts in a single
year than such magazines as The Cent
ury, Scribner’s or Harper's. This year
he has already exhausted two manu
script record books, each holding 2,000
entries, and the third is already half
filled. In other words, he has received
in ten months more than 5,000 manu
scripts. I had the curiosity to look intc
the figures last week which this enor
mous deluge of manuscripts told, and
they were interesting. There had been
received, for example, a trifle more than
500 short stories, yet only 11 of these
had been accepted, less than 2 per cent’
Of over 1,500 poems a few over 30 had
been accepted, a little better than 2 pei
cent! and .yet every manuscript had been
carefully read, and the position of the
magazine is such that it is in a way of
getting much good material.—Edward
W. Bok’s Letter.

The Atlanta Journal has just purchased
another double cylinder press, and will
have it in position by the first of January.
The two presses will run at the same
time, having a capacity of twenty-four
thousand papers each per hour. The cir
culation of the Journal has increased at
such a rapid rate that its splendid perfect-
ing press could not print the large edition
in time to catch the early afternoon mails,
hence the necessity of another press. The
Journal is undoubtedly the best and most
successful evening paper in the South, and
is surpassed in point of newsiness and gen
eral excellence by no evening paper in the
country. It is admirably managed, and
has been a great success since it first came
under its present management. We eon-
ratulate our esteemed contemporary upon
its growing prosperity and influence, for
which full measure of credit is due Editor
Carter and the efficient business manager,
Henry Cabaniss.
The Baltimore Sun has the following
comment, which may be of interest to
some fond manipulators of the paste
boards :
It seems that the great American game
of poker is a dangerous pastime in more
senses than one, if a recent decision by
Judge Miller of the Washington Police
Court, is held to be good law. The Judge
decided that the mere fact that the game
was played in an establishment incorpo
rated as a club did not necessarily protect
those taking part from the charge of
ambling. It had never been decided, he
declared, as some people supposed, that
articles of incorporation were a shield for
a poker game. The decision will probably-
prove as ruinous to private gambling es
tablishments in Washington, which figure
publicly as clubs, as did the similar de
cision by the Maryland Court ol Appeals
against very much the same sort of organ
ization for the sale of liquor in prohibition
counties.
The Committee appointed at the Ocala
convention of the National Farmers’ Alli
ance to investigate grave charges against
Polk, Livingston and Macune in connec
tion with the Georgia Senatorial election,
made a queer report. The committee ex
honerated Polk, but regretted his writing
the Norwood letter. The committee ex
honerated Livingston, but was not pre
pared to endorse his course in the Georgia
Senatorial contest. The committee exhon
erated Macune, but regretted his official
connection with the Georgia Senatorial
contest. The report appears to be slightly
left-handed.
The Constitution makes the proud boast
that Atlanta is the only city between New
York and Baltimore in which Mr. Stanley
will lecture. Atlanta is a hustler, but we
had no idea that she had moved that high
up on the map. „
The Augusta Chronicle says: “The
Columbus Enquirer-Sun. like the Chron
icle, is now running two state legislatures.
It takes a great journal to cover two states
at once.
at certain intervals in cattle and othei
domesticated animals have recently been
the subjects of many reports and discus
sions. Among these diseases none has at
tracted more attention than that which
has recently decimated canaries and other
cage birds. Not very long ago upward
of 1.S00 canaries died in one year at Nor
wich. England, and occasioned a loss tc
the owners estimated at about $5,000. A
medical man is now stated to be hard at
work inquiring as to the true cause oi
the disease, which at present is thought
to partake of the character of diphtheria.
The subject is an important one, as the
transmission of diphtheria to children
from domestic animals has come to be
not only frequent but occasionally mast
serious in effects.—New York Commer

Educating Farmers’ Children.
A movement is on foot in Denmark,
corresponding with the needlework in
dustries of England and Ireland, to ad
vance the farming and dairy interests
for the benefit of women. Little girls
are being trained to raise poultry, make
cheese and butter, and brand them with
the badge of excellence. The agricult
ural, industrial and scientific worlds are
levied upon for improved machinery and
appliances. Not only are the cattle fed
in Danish fashion, but by the use of spe
cial methods 10 per cent, more butter is
extracted from a gallon of milk thaE
ever before. These fancy products are
put in the highest markets and yield a
revenue not to be approached by the old
system of women's work.—London Let

at first thought that they had beer
stolen, but it was at last concluded that
they had found their way to the waste
basket by mistake. This suppositior
was followed up, and four men were
kept at work all day Sunday turning
over with pitchforks the uuinjT heap or
one of the Portland wharves. It was
like hunting for a needle in a haystack,
but the search was successful, and the
two checks were at last recovered.—

While Mr. Williams, of Montezuma.

dusk the other day he was amazed tc
find his horse leave the ground and re
main in the air. Investigation proved
that the affair was not supernatural, as
the animal got caught in a swing hang
ing from a bough of the tree.
Among the latest disinfectants is

emperor william has a poor opinion
OF THEM.
Berlin, December <>. — [Copyright,
1890, by the New York Associated Press.]
The Reichsanzeiger gives in extenso pas
sages that Emperor William himself select
ed from his recent speech on school reform.
One point that the Emperor specially ex-
phasised is the time lost in the higher pub
lic schools in cramming the youth with
Latin and Greek instead of the Ger
man language and German his ory,
the growth of German institutions
and the idea of national unity. Modern
history, he declared, if rightly taugiit,
would become infinitely more valuable
than the chronicles of antiquity. How,
he asked, were so many young Germans
seduced from the paths of political virtue?
How was it that Germany produced so
many muddle-headed reformers of society,
so many men nagging at their own Gov
ernments, while commending the gov
ernments of other nations ? It
was simply ignorance, arising from defect
ive education on the geneses of modern
Germany. The higher schools must mend
their methods. They must avoid cram
ming, make their studies bear upon prac
tical life, reduce the boy’s book work and
give more time for healthy recreation and
the training of the body. The present
system tended toward an oxer-production
of highly educated people. He ap
proved the saying of Prince
Bismarck's anent the Abiturenten prole
tariats, whom he called hunger candi
dates, and from whom the ranks of jour
nalism were largely recruited,! forming a
class dangerous to society. Journalists,
he said, were high school products run
to seed. Alluding to school ail
ments, the Emperor declared that
in the highest classics the number
of pupils afflicted with myopy was some
times 14 per cent, of the whole number of
scholars. Finally, he declared that he
would not license any more high schools
till their methods were amended. The
newspapers generally resent the Emperor’s
references to the journalists. The
National Gazette says he speaks
on wrong information • regard
ing the conditions of German
journalism, instead of journalists being
hunger candidates. Many high slate offi
cials are only too willing to exchange their
posts for positions on the press, if they can
get them. Furthermore, it adds, any one
conversant with the work achieved by
journalism knows that the German Press
is among the leading factors influencing
public life.
