Proctor's Last Essays.
A series of popular scientific articles, by
the late Prof. Richard A. Proctor, the emi
nent astronomer and author, will appear in
the Morning News on the dates announced
below.
The article in this series upon "Plagues
and Pestilence” was received only the week
before the author’s death, and was written
apropos of the yellow fever in Kloridn.
Indeed, the whole series is Prof. Proctor’s
last popular scientific work for newspaper
publication.
They are expected to attract great atten
tion throughout the whole country, and will
prove a valuable additiou to scientific lore
which no one can well afford to lose. They
•were obtainable by the Morning News
only on account of its prominence in the
world of journalism, and have an especial
interest for the newspaper readers of the
southeast.
These articles, six in number, are upon
the following topics:
2. For September 30.
Learning the Stabs
3. For October 7.
Our Two Brains.
4. For October 14.
Famous Comets.
6. For October 2L

Some of the republican organs want to
know whether it was for business reasons
or because he was a republican that Assist
ant Mail Superintendent Jackson, of Now
York, was removed. For business reasons,
no doubt. Asa geneial thing, it is not
good business policy to intrust a republican
with the mails.
The democratic campaign committee is
securing the work, at headquarters, of some
of the brainiest men and best politicians in
the country. Ex-Bpeaker Little, of this
state, is one of them, and ex-Senator Wal
-1 ice, of Pennsylvania, is another. Col.
Brice seems to have the faculty of selecting
1 he right man.
The Baltimore American thinks the pro
hibition vote is likely to affect the demo
crats of the south very considerably. ‘ln
Georgia, especially," snys the American ,
“where Bain Small is leading the prohibition
crusade, great, inroads are expected upon
the democratic vote.” Those people who
axiiect the democratic vote in Georgia to bo
redu ed to any considerable extent through
the efforts of Mr. Small will begrently dis
appointed. It is doubtful if 100 democrats
in this state vote the prohibition ticket,
Mr. David H. Elliott, laud commissioner
of the South Florida railroad, is reported in
n specinl from Chicago as saying that the
reason the colored people have not left the
districts in Florida infected with yellow
fever is because “they are more afraid of
losing their votes than they are of the
fever.” Very likely Mr. Elliott has not
been correctly report :d. The colored i>eo
|>lf> have left tho fever districts in large
numbers, and those who did not leave are
probably so greatly concerned about the
fever that they uever think of elections. If
they are not reminded of it, election day
will pass unnoticed by them.
Hnii. George T. Barnes, of the Augus'a
district, will have his well-known good na
ture sorely tried before be bears the last of
tlie resolution be introduced in congress tlie
other day, offering on the part of the gov
ernment a reward for the discovery oft! e
cause of yellow faver and a cure for that
disease, The impression has gotten out that
be is offering the reword himself, and
already a number of cranks who think they
have discovered yellow fever specifics have
applied to the Morning News for tne
honorable gentleman’s Washington ad
dress. The Morning News has persiitently
refused to accede to the requests, aud it has
spirited away the numbers of the Con
gressional Record in its possession; but
this friendly action on its part will hardly
save Mr. Barnes. He may expect a long
list of callers from here before this session
<d congress comes to an eyO.
The Technological School.
Georgia’s school of technology will open
on Oct. 3. The faculty was elected some
weeks ago, and is comtiosed of the best
obtainable talent. The number of students
to be admitted is 150, and if that number is
not made up under the plan adopted, any
Georgia boy who satisfactorily passes the
required examination will be admitted,
until the limit is reached. Possibly there
will not be 150 students at first, but after a
while the demand for admittance to the
school will exceed its accomodations.
Several facts connected with the school
are worthy of notice. One of them is that
the time of- the students will be divided
equally between the academic and the
mechanical departments. For instance, the
student will be put to work in the machine
shop on. say, Monday afternoon, and will
resume work there Tuesday morning. The
next day’s work will be devoted to some
study in the academic department. An
other is that nearly one-half of the school
apparatus will be made by the students. In
bis purchases, Dr. Hopkins confined him
self principal I y to those machines made of
glass, leaving those i onstructed of iron,
brass and steel to be made by the students.
Still another is that articles made by the
students will be sold In the open market.
Nothing will be made to throw away, and
thus the best attention to the work will be
required.
There is one drawback connected with the
institution, however. The commission says
it has no authority to use a portion of the
appropriation for the purchase of a refer
ence library. Dr. Hopkins talks about get
ing together a library by contributions of
books from different sources, but that plan
would hardly do. Of course some sort of
a library could be secured in that way, but
.it would be very incomplete. Perhaps a
dozen or more people would contribute the
same book, which, after all, might not be
what was required. There are men in
Georgia who could give the amount re
quired for a complete and modern library,
and never miss it. Quite a number of these
men live in Savannah. It would be an act
to be proud of, and to be remembered by
future generations. The library is a very
important adjunct to the school’s outfit.
The benefits to lie derived from this iusti
tution are incalculable. Thev will become
more apparent as young men educated in it
show in a practical way, aud in different
parts of the state, the good effects of their
technical education.
Politics and the Alliance.
Is that organization of agriculturists, the
Farmers’ Alliance, to bo converted into
a political club? That it contaius, in some
states, politicians whose purpose is to use
it for their political advancement, is not to
be doubtod; whether these politicians suc
ceed in their designs remains to b? seen.
In Southeast Missouri the alliance is in a
bad way. It pays no attention to agricult
ural matters, but has gone regularly into
politics, and ia the different counties of
that section there are alliance candidates
for legislature and for county offices. The
president of the Missouri state alliance
lives in Southeast Missouri, and he is a dis
appointed office-seeker, who, having been
twice defeated fairly for office, has suc
ceeded in having himself placed at the head
of this agricultural organization, and is
working it for his personal aud political
advancement.
Do the members of the alliance in the
different states think they will benefit them
selves by turning politicians' It is de
manded of every citizen, whether he be
farmer, lawyer, merchant or what not, to
attend to politics in season, and to vote so
as to promote good government; but it is
hardly necessary, in order to meet the de
mands of good citizenship, that a "farmers’
club, or a mercantile exchange, or a law
yers’ association should turn from those
things which directly affect its members,
and dovote its energies to the (‘lection to
political office of some man, or set of men.
In fact, if such a course should be adopted,
these organizations would soon die out.
The Georgia alliance is to be congratu
lated that it has kept out of poliies pretty
well. At a meeting of one of the county
organizations the other (lay, a resolution
was adopted which deserves more than a
passing notice. It is this; “Resolved, That
it be, and is hereby highly recommended
that the members of this alliance plant a
good crop of oats, barley, rye and such
crops this fall, and thus demonstrate the fact
that we desire and intend to live at home.”
No politics about that, but a lot of good, hard
sense. The farmer who introduced the
resolution is one who “lives at home,” and
who has converted his formerly rock-cov
eredand sterile laud Into one of the most
fertile farms in Georgia. He knows by ex
perience that it pays to “live at home.” A
resolution of the earns sort adopted and
carried out by every county alliance in
Georgia would bent politics all hollow.
Ia Marriago a Failure ?
The discussion of the question, Is niar
rmgo a failure? has been going on for some
time in 1 lie Knglish press, and the question
has recently received considerable atten
tion from some of the American
newspapers. Very likely it will be dis
cussed throughout the country. A notable
feature of the discussion is that a great
many people incline to the belief that mar
riage is a failure.
As it is not a failure, and cannot be, the
question arises, why do these people adopt
the wrong view? It is probably because
they b long to two classes—one composed
of those who, being unmarried, form their
opinions of marriage from the reports of
the many unhappy unions which find their
way into the public prints, and of the many
divorces; the other composed of those who
have themselves made hasty or mercenary
marriages, and in many instances have
found out that the institution is not one to
be entered into without deblieration, nor
! to be considered in the light of a mere finan
cial venture.
Those jieople forget that whore one un
happy marriage is made notorious by s line
| loquacious husband or wife, there are a
great many which have brought content
ment and happiness to the contracting par
j ties, and have developed the noblest im
pulses and the loftiest aspirations of which
mankind is capable. Asa rule, those men
and women who are happily married are
tho ones who do not parade their home life
before the public.
Marriage a failure? Decidedly not. It
has the divine approval, and therefore it
cannot be. There are those who contend
that Christianity itself Is n fnilure, but it :
; pretty rate to assume that they don’t believe
j what they assert.
The republican candidate for Vice I‘resi
i dent, who is “some fellow like Phelps,”
financially, is keeping very quiet in the
! campaign, but it is understood that he gen-
I orally responds to calls for more money.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 23, 188S.
Revolt Against Mahons.
Ex-Senator Mabone, of Virginia, after
quitting the Democratic party, owed his
political power in that state to the stead
fastness with which tlie colored voters stood
by him. It appears that his power is iikely
to be destroyed partially, because of a
rovolt among the same class of voters
against his bessism.
Mahone wants one of his henchmen to go
to congress from his (Mahone’s) district,
and when John M. Langston, a colored
man well known in Virginia, aud not
unknown out of it, announced his
intention of becoming a o ndidate
for the nomination, the little boss became
red in the face, and declared that “no negro
should be nominated.” Generally, sue l a
declaration would be accepted by the re
publicans of the district as an order, and
would be obeyed accordingly, but in this
instance it served to strengthen Langston’s
determination to run, and to make the col
ored voters defiant. Langston, it is said, had
a majority of the delegates when the con
vention met the other day, but by seine
trickery, of which Mahone is master, it was
arranged that of the eighty-five delegates
to be admitted, only thirty-one should be
I Kingston delegates. The outcome has been
stated in our dispatches. Two conventions
were held, one nominating Langston and
the other nominating Mahoue’s man Friday.
This is n?>t tho first revolt against Ma
hone’s authority, but it seems to lie more
serious than the others, because it is among
the class of voters upon whom the ex-sena
tor could always depend for support. Sen
ator Riddleberger and Messrs. Wise and
Brady have previously fallen out with the
boss, but they were unable to put him
Gown so long as he was backed by the col
ored people. A defeat of Mahone’s hench
man, either by Langston or the democratic
candidate, would mean repudiation of Ma
hone and his bossism.
But Mahone is not a man to be defeated
easily. He is up to all the tricks of politics,
and when he undertakes to carry a point,
he fights with a dash that commands ad
miration, but with a degree of dishonesty
that sickens a healthy conscience.
The district has a large republican ma
jority, and it is possible that one of the
republican candidates may be elected; at
the same time, the split in the party affords
a chance of democratic success, and the
republican vote may be so evenly divided
between the factional candidates that a
democrat will step in. There is no prob
ability that either Langston or the Mahone
candidate will come down.
A Woman's Devotion.
A case was tried in otic of the New York
courts the other day, which illustrates in a
striking manner the devotion of women to
those upon whom they have set their hearts
even though the objects of their affection
may be monsters in human form.
AVilliam Bohan did no’ lavish loving at
tentions upon his wife. On the contrary,
he treated her most brutally. He often
struck her, and is known to have threat
ened to hang her to the limb .of a tree,
winch had grown at a convenient distance
from the ground in bis yard. In 1886 in a
fit of brutish rage, he rushed at her and
gouged out one of her eyes. A few weeks
ago lie finished the fiendish job by gouging
out the other.
But Mrs. Bohan did not turn against him.
When he was on trial for the horrible
crime, she took the witness stand, and in
the face of conclusive evidence already
introduced against the prisoner, she de
clared that William treated her kindly;
that he was not to blame; that he did not
intend to tear out her eyes. When be was
conv.cted, she put her hands ovei her pu
pilless sockets, and rocked her body to and
fro in an agony of grief.
It is wonderful —this devotion of woman ;
a divine gift which, if honored as it should
be, bears her up under all the troubles of
life, and which lingers still, causing her in
tense anguish, when he upon whom she ha-,
lavished it repudiates it and proves himself
worse than a brute.
The farmers have not abandoned their
soarcti for a substitute u>, j u te bagging.
Quite a number of have been
suggested, and some of twa l-.avb been
tested. As will ire seen by reference to a
communication in another column, Mr. J.
Rutledge Hunter, of Hampton county.
South Carolina, has offered another solu
tion of the question of circumventing the
bagging trust. His plau is to utilize the
cotton stalk in making bagging. If the
plan is practicable, not only would it save
money to the farmer in tho purchase of
bagging, but it would afford t. market for
their cotton stalks.
Referring to Speaker Carlisle’s speech
when he was renominated the other day,
the Chicago Tribune says: “Carlisle talks
right out for free trade." Mr. Carlisle and
Editor Medill of the Tribune have very
similar views on the tariff question. Both
of them believe in tariff reform, and neither
advocates free trade. One of the arguments
used against Judge Gresiiatn as tho republi
can candidate for President was that he was
backed by the Chicago Tribune, a news
paper which occupied the same ground
with Mr. Carlisle on the tariff.
“They loved Coukling” seems to be the
reason why a good many republicans in
New York have repudiated Gen. Harrison.
The Conkling men have no grudge against
Gen. Harrison, but they object to the prom
inence given Mr. Blaine in the campaign,
and they jjon’t like the idea of Harrison
being the nominal, while Blaine is the real,
President, in case the republicans get a ma
jority of the electoral vote.
"Congress did nothing yesterday,” says
the Baltimore Sun. No; nor theday before.
Congress ha3 done very little during the
last few weeks. Everything is waiting on
the tariff bill which the republicans of the
Senate are said to be going to report, but
which, like a certain letter mado famous in
song, hasn’t put in its appearance, and isn’t
likely to.
If our esteemed friends, the enemy, don’t
lookout they will lose the election by reason
of over-confidence. Oregon, Vermont and
Maine have all gone republican in stale
elections lately, aud the republicans feel
elated. Tho ’‘magnificent victories” they
have obtained in those states have inspired
them with u superiluity of confidence.
Neither the republican platform nor Gen.
Harrison’s letter of acceptance contains any
such declaration as this: “Unnecessary
taxation is unjust taxation." The republi
cans are not running their canvas* on that
line. The Democratic party and President
Cleveland are trying to do away with un
necessary taxation.
The republicans, it is said, are holding
anxious conferences—they are alarnu-d con
cerning the northwest. Probably they
have cause to be alarmed. The northwest
wants .su’itr reform, ... _

From the Memphis Avalanche (Dem.)
Judge Gresham has returned from Kurone
and talks volubly of everything except the

A Meat Inspector has been appointed by the
city council of Atchison, Kan., under the pro
vision of an ordinance requiring all meat to be
inspected “on foot*’ before it is exposed for sale
in that place. A correspondent explains that
“this is Known ns the Bismarck plan of prohibi
tion. and is adopted by the city for the purpose
of keeping Kansas City utesjod beef out of the
Atchison market. In former times Atchison
was a good local live stock market, and the
butchering industry was a very important one.
but by the introduction of Kansas City dressed
meat the market fell to nothing, local butchers
closing slaughter houses and buying Kansas
City meat in preference to killing it themselves.
It is to revive tuts industry and re-establish a
local market that the Bismarckian policy has
been adopted.”

No More Sudden Interruptions for
Her.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
She was a girl who had been eugaged two or
three times. She had gone through all the
trouble attendant on being interrupted by her
little brothers and sisters and the old folks
during the tetc-a-tetes. For a long time she
had been at work on a piece of embroidery of
such a sacred and secret nature that she locked
it up from all eyes, and onlyworked on it when
she was quite alone. Frequently they had tri*d
to find out, but w hat it was tbev could not dis
cover. One evening when the girl and her
beau w r ere in the parlor, the mother, stepping
softly along tlie passage toward the door, was
brought to a stands! ill by an elegantly embroid
ered motto hanging on the wall. It read:
“Cough Here.”
Good-Night.
Good night, dear heart! 'Tis time to bring this
parting to a close.
Now hark ! Eleven strikes! Give me from off
your breast the rose
Which I incoming plucked for her whose pres
ence is more sweet
Than any flower or bud. Such rapture makes
the hours swift fleet,
Which when away from you fill never-ending
restless days.
All passed twixtfwork and planning schemes
and thousand little ways,
To meet you oftener than your reason might
have cause to bring
Me; yet who talks of reason? Sure, not I, for
'Tis a thing
To guide the heart to love, not check or cool it
when *tis found.
He bent his head, and on her lips laid his. There
was no sound;
The night was still; the stars shone pale in June
sky far above;
And though so far, of this seemed part—this
mystery of love.

A pilgrim to the town of Lexington. Mass.,
asked a man who was mending the road whore
Theodore Parker was horn.
The man leaned on his spade, stared at the
stranger, and replied:
“Dunno."
“Are you anew comer here?”
“No, sir; lived here, man and boy, nigh on to
forty years.”
• Are there no Parkers about here?”
“Yes, there's tew lots of ’em."
“I wish to find the old Parker place,” said the
traveler.
"Older’n creation, both of ’em," was the re
ply.
"The (“apt. Parker place is the one I want.”
“They run to cappens," was the exasperating
reply; “but 1 guess you'd better take thalar
road to the left, and go about a mile, then turn
down a lane, and at the end there's a monner
ment that must be set up for L’appen Parker.
The pilgrim followed the directions, and found

■ A Marvelous Memory for Business.
From the Chicago Mail.
B. P. Hutchinson, the noted board of trade
man, keeps all his business right in his head,
and when, at the end of a day’s hard work,
some clerk or broker makes a mistake of 5,000
bushels, the old man detects it in a miuute, and
jumps on him In a way that ho doesn’t goon for
get. One day in the club someone tackled the
old man on this vtiry point, and intimated a
doubt as to whether the old speculator knew
where he stood ou the day's trading. "Hutch”
drew his settling books from his pocket, and
throwing them at the doubter, said:
“Open those books and keep tab on what I
say. If I make the mistake of a bushel either
way I'll give you my protits for the day," and
he began reciting off > he tradings of his brokers
from what he remembered of his own orders to
them. He didn’t make a single slip.
One day he was on the floor, when anew tele
graph boy appeared with a message for him
Not knowing the old man, the boy stood right
by the side of "Hutch” calling “B. P. Hutchin
son:”
"(lot a message for ’Old Hutch?' " said the
veteran dealer, grimly.
"Yos, guess so!" said the boy.
“Well, the old fool isn’t here. He can’t read,
anyway. Take it over there to Frank Magln.’
