Iron cross ties have been tried on
the Pennsylvania railroad and fonnd
less desirable than those of good, hon
est white oak. This will be unpleasant
news lor tree lovers. The most relent
less consumers of tiie forest trees are
the men who must have trees for cross
tics, and nice, straight young trees for
telegraph poles. Two thousand ties
for every milo of steel rails laid
a fearful gap in some lair forest, and a
mile of telegraph poles means a goodly
grove cut down. Not until railroads
can find a substitute for oak ties,
can lay their attendant wires under
ground. will the forests of this country
stand any chance against the wood

Protection Doomed.
Several weeks ago theTimes-Union
stated that so far from the presiden
tial election furnishing cause for dis
couragement to tariff reformers
Democracy had absolutely made
large gains in the Western States—
the States in which the issue will be
fought to a signal victory in 189a.
In the St. Louis Republic of the 27th
we find a detailed statement of last
November’s vote as follows:
Thus, in Illinois, Cleveland gained
in 1888 70I95 1 over the vote for
Hancock, while Harrison gained only
52,436 over the vote for Garfield.
In Indiana, Cleveland gained 35,-
487 over Hancock; Harrison only
31,198 over Garfield.
In Ohio, Cleveland gained 55,634
over Hancock; Harrison only 41,006
over Garfield. '
In New Jersey, Cleveland gained
28,936 over Hancock; Harrison only
24,789 over Garfield.
In New York, Cleveland gained
101,454 over Hancock; Harrison only
94,784 over Garfield.
In Connecticut, Cleveland gained
I 5*5°3 over Hancock; Harrison only
7,511 over Garfield.
In Massachusetts, Cleveland gained
40,030 over Hancock; Harrison only
18,242 over Garfield.
In Maine itself, Harrison polled
nearly 1,000 voles less than Garfield,
while in the Northwest the Demo
cratic gain of 1888 over 1880 was
largely in excess of the Republican
gain during the same period, the
Democratic gain in Michigan being
82,104, the Republican only .51,117;
in Wisconsin,'Democratic gain 41,-
648, Repub’ican 32,151; in Minnesota,
Democratic gam 46.349, Republican
4 2 *4£& in Iowa, Democratic
gain 74.032, Republican gain 27,-
694.
“The growth of the country,” adds
the Republic, “is with the Democ
racy.” The party which bravely
withstood twenty-five years of suc
cessive defeat, asks no quarter and
will grant none. With 100,000 pop-
majority in 1888, we shall “get
there” in 1892—world without end!—
Times-Union.
The democratic party has never
learned how to surrender. It will be
the ring in 1892, and somebody
will get hurt.
American Grit.
A dispatch from Eau Clare, Wis.,
says: A private letter has just been
received here from Ralph W. Morris,
officer on board the United States
r ship Adams Thq letter is dated
Honolulu, January 10. Speaking of
the Samoan affair, the writer says:
When the war broke out between
Tamasese and Mataafa, we, being the
nearest American ship, 'were ordered
to proceed with all haste to Apia and
look out for American interesis.
The German fleet was away, except
the Adler, during the fighting. The
Adler left Apia and went around to
Salalata, with the expressed intention
of driving Mataafa off of some Ger-
property on which he had built
an embankment tor bis army. We
also got under way as soon as the
Adler and followed her, and cleared
up decks for general quarters and
cleared the ship for action. We ar
rived at SaJaLta astern of the Adler,
and our captain, Leary,called a boat
away and sent an officer over with a
message intimating that if the Adler
fired one shot at the natives she
would never get back to the father-
land unless the German government
sent a wrecking company and had
her picked up from the bottom of the
ocean. The result was that the Ad
ler went back to Apia, and we follow
ed and anchored outside of her’-

Washington, Jan. 31.—Carroll D.
Wright, commissioner of the de
partment of labor, to-day submitted
to the Secretary of the Interior his
fourth annual report, which deals ex
clusively with the subject of “work
ing women in great cities.” Com
missioner Wright, in his introduc
tion, says that the object of the in
vestigation now under consideration
was to secure information relative to
the condition of the working women
in onr great cities. By working wo
men is meant that class of women
who earn their living in occupations
calling for manual labor. The pro
fessional and semi-professional call
ings, like those of teaching, stenogra
phy, type-writing, telegraphy, etc.,
have not, as a rule, been recognized
in the investigation.
THOSE IN THE LIST.
Those women who work in the
great city shops upo% light manual
or mechanical labor, or in stores, are
those that are recognized under the
popular term “working women.” The
study comprehends 342 distinct
dustries, and relates to twenty two
different cities as follows: Atlanta,
Baltimore, Boston, Brooklyn,Charles
ton, S.C., Chicago. Cincinnati,Cleve
land, Indiauapolis, Louisville, New
ark, N. J , New Orleans, New York.
Philadelphia. Providence, Richmond,
Va., San Francisco, San Jose, Cal.,
St. Louis, St. Paul and Savannah.
THOROUGHLY REPRESENTATIVE.
These twenty-two cities must be
considered as thoroughly representa
tive, so far as locality is to be taken
into account. The department has
not sought, the report says, to secure
information relating entirely to any
particular class, like those employed
in the very lowest forms of work, and
living in the slums of the city, nor,on
the other hand, to those engaged in
what might be called the highest
forms ot labor and living in a style
that would take them out of the cat
egory of working women, but the
great representative employments
have been considered and the grade
of women that should be representa
tive within these employments.
NEARLY ALL GIRLS.
The report shows that the working
women in the great cities are practi
cally girls. The average age in all
the cities comprehended is 22 years
and 7 months. The highest average
age is found in Charleston, S. C.—25
years and 1 month. The lowest av
erage is in St. Paul—21 years and 5
months, It is found, however, that
the concentration is greatest at the
e of 18.
AVERAGE WEEKLY EARNINGS.
The average weekly earning by
cities is given as follows:
Atlanta $1 05

342 INDUSTRIES COVERED.
The report covers 342 industries,
in which areemp’oyed 17,427 women.
Upon the subject of “Character of
woiking women,” the commissioner,
among other things, says: “From
all that can be learned one need not
hesitate in asserting that the working
women of this country are as honest
and as virtuous as any other class of
our citizens.”
The Covington Star puts it thnsly:
“Our advice has always been to diver
sify the crops; raise plenty of corn and
meat to supply the hem2 demand;
oompost your manures; raise your own
grasses, and never buy a sprig of wes
tern hay. Make the farm self-sustain
ing in every particular; then raise as
much cotton as you can for a surplus
crop, and if you don’t find yourself
more prosperous at the end of, two
years, then you may say the Star is no
farmer.”
The pope’s health is exciting the
concern of his friends—or rather his
want of health is doing so. Recently
he has been afflicted with several
long fainting spalls, and is very weak.
At the great age of 80 such attacks are
serious, and it is probable that before
very long the sacred college will be call
ed upon to elect his succesor. When
the end comes, Loo XIll’s reign will
not have been a very long one; but it
will have been worthy of the great
name he chose when elected to the
pontificate St. Peter’s seat had few
worthier or greater occupants

Senator Beck’s marksmanship has

Hargesa-Ueaeral Ham tit on
On Yellow Fewer.
-From the Jacksonville Metropolis.
Surgeon-General J. B. Hamilton,
in an article in the North American
Review on.the contagiousness of yel
low lever, mentions incidentally that
he was once informed by a very intel
ligent shipmaster that, when yellow
fever broke out among the crew, he
was unable to arrest its progress from
man to man until he caused all the
cooking utensils on the ship to be
thoroughly boiled, and required the
drinking water also to be boiled.
This was practiced iq addition to the
disinfection of the clothing and disin
fection of the ship by the fumes of
burning sulphur.
The surgeon-general, however,
himself, for all the extent and variety
of his experience of the disease, does
not profess to have arrived at any
very accurate knowledge of its origin
or propagation. In the article
mentioned he thus summarizes the
existing facts:
Yellow fever is portable from place
to place, is communicable to healthy
persons probably not by direct con
tact with the sick, but by the imbibi
tion of specific germs.
We might construct a reasonable
hypothesis that it is possible that the
germs in sufficient number may be
brought into the nasal air passages
of a person, thence to the fauces,
thence washed into the stomach by
the first drink of water, or swal
lowed with saltiva—the saliva itself
furnishing a culture-medium for the
growth of the germ.
We may conclude, then, having
consideration solely to the fact that
yellow fever is a highly infectious dis-
of the mildly contageous va
riety, and is to be prevented by jhe
adoption of such measures as will de
stroy ihe germ and thus prevent its
propagation, and at the same time
ndering sterile the soil or place
whereon the germ shall fall.

Material in a Steamer.
The amouot of material necessary
the construction of a 1,200 ton
steamer is simply astonishing. It
takes 40,000 lineal feet of timber, 25
tens for hog chains and in all 50 tons
of iron, 120 bales of oakum to caulk
the seams, and fully $5,000 worth of
paint. The cost of such a boat in
the yards runs about 880,000, to
which an additional 825,000 may be
added for furnishing. It takes gener
ally about five months to put up a
i’6oo ton boat, and it should last ten
years with ordinary care. When the
hull of a boat is finished every nook
and corner is filled with salt, about
100 barrels being used fora 1,200

the rotting of the timber, and, strange
ly enough, the cabins and upper
works usually decay much quicker

Macon has had a spe Uing match
Some of the foremost literary men in
that city participated. Some of them
could not have hit a barn door.- But
they had lots of amusement. The
Telegraph gets up a humorous ac
count of this war of words. We give
the concluding paragraph:
“The war had hardly begun when
Mr. Burke proved himself no ‘me
chanician,’ andCapt. Gunn’s ‘shekel’
could not purchase immunity from
Caitiff Craig’s wiles. A ‘hemoriage
carried Julien Rodgers off the field
followed by ‘Viscount* McKay.
Through Mr. Wilson an ‘armistice*
was proposed, aud Mr. Dennis want
ed to ‘mortice’ in a section for the
‘propitiation’ of Mr. DeHaven, but
through the ‘vacillation’ of Mr. Hill-
yer the ‘codicil’ to that effect offered
by lift. Culver failed to pass. An
‘abridgement’ of the whole thing sug
gested by Dr. Hurd was,in the ‘judg
ment’ of Mr. Conner, out of the ques
tion—so they all, at the suggestion of
Mr Robinson, took a dose of ‘home
opathy’ and left the field to Prof.
Manly. Hon. R. W. Patterson de
livered the prizes, a gold Dadgc and
blue ribbon to Pref. Manly and a
beautiful striped tin horn to Mr.
Burke. Mr. Patterson complimented
Mr. Br.rke on life fact that he had
printed more blue back spelling
books than any man in the state, and
had succeeded in absorbing less ot
their contents than any member of
the class. The entertainment was a
most enjoyable one throughout, and
the audience dispersed highly pleased.

Many Americans, overlooking tba
oomfoxta and attractioaa of their own
sunny clime, neck winter resorts in Eu
rope. A lady who has passed two
sons here, but who is wintering in Al
giers, write* to a friend hern aa follows:
“Mj heart yearns to be back ia my

favored spot in the sunny math, when
I passed so many pleasant days. For

suppose the Mooflsh Priests, the dirty

Thomasville never loses a friend.
Thu is something remarkable ibout
the place. Once here they always turn
with pleasant recollections back to the
piney woods city, away from fashion's
whirl; where sll arc welcomed, whether
they come from the Eaat, the West,
the North or South; where the bright
flowers perpetual bloom, where pine
forests aro bathed in sunlight, and
where the soft brcctcs fan faded cheeks,
bringing btek the roses of health and
sending the life blood, renewed and pu
rified, through wasted veins.
They nrc Coming.
In fact they are here. With the
shadow of the epidemic hovering
over the South, the almost unparrall-
ed mild winter North, and the lack
of proper facilities for getting here,
Thomasville stands away out to the
front, leading any resort in the South,
according to her capacity, in the
number of guests. Manager Davies,
of the Piney Woods, said last eve
ning: “We have every room in the
Piney Woods engaged. Within the
past three days l have written and

Choice Fruit Tree*.
We acknowledge the rCteipt of a
choice selection of fruit trees from
Messrs. H. W. Reed and Co., pro-
pnetors of Cherokee nurseries, Way-
cross, Georgia. These gentlemen
arc experienced fruit growers and in
their nurseries grow nothing not ad
apted to southern soil, and offer noth
ing not thoroughly tested and proved.
Their collection embraces all the well
known standard fruits,and all new va
rieties that have been sufficiently tried
to prove their adaptability to the or
chard. In addition to the extensive
ness of their stock they bring ample
experience and thorough reliability.
Parties desiring anything in their line
will be promptly supplied. Catalog*
ues on application. Address H. W*
Reed and Co., Waycross, Ga-
Thomasville is getting there.
The hotels and boarding houses
are filling up.
Life is not all made tip of sun
shine. Happily so,' perhaps. We
would tire of it were there no clouds,
