Toccoa is the best city in North
East Georgia, and is destined to
l>ecomc a city of several thousand
inhabitants in thfc next ten years.
- Toccoa is situated in one hf the
best sections of Georgia. The best
health, cheapness of living, good
and fruit lands, and in
many other ways, llie best pbee to
live in the South, without an ex¬
ception.
Toccoa wants a cotton factory.
is no better site for any kind
a factory in Georgia than Toc
eoa, Then, too, Toccoa will fur
nifth some of the capital for such
un enterprise.
Wc arc now in hop/ of the leg
iriature getting down to their work
and the Bacon men to putting in
applications for office when
new senator takes his seat.

hat and shouts “The pebple win”
over the election of Bacon for Sen

dler or politician as the Consti.u*

to ba on tiie winning side, and
therefore we can’t say Georgia has
done the wisest, thing in the world
in .electing Demagogue Bacon, who
has done nothing we are aware of
‘ i so fit him far the repute,
"he people reully- were not “in it”

Brazil.
AH who are interested in th<
;reat republic of South Americi
wtII welcome the evidence nowob
ainabie that a peaceable change o
Presidents will be effected there the
,veelt after the November elections
o be held in this country. There
can be no reason for the further ex¬
igence of the apprehensions b)
which Brazil has been disturber
for a year past, that the Executive,
whose term, expires on the 15 th ol
November, will make my attempt
to retain power by force, or wil
nterfere in any way with the suc¬
cession of the man who, in March
ast, was chosen as his successor,
f here can no longer be any doubl
.hat President Peixoto will surren
ler his office to President-elect Mo
ncs at the time appointed in tlx
Constitution. He ha 6 asked f/oij
Congress* and has obtained, a large
appropriation for the expenses of
the inaugural festivities; lie has
given orders for. a .grand military
review at Rio on the day of the
inauguration; he has made all
preparations for his desert ire from
his official quarters upon Palace
square ; and lie has held communi¬
cation with Congress .respecting
certain matters of public business
which he desires to close up before
the end of his term.’ There is no
more reason to doubt that Florinno
Peixoto will leave office next
month, than there is to doubt that
Grover Cleveland will do the same
thing in sixteen months from now.
All friends of Brazil will rejoice
in the assurances that we are now
able to give, under advices from
Rio, concerning the succession to
the Presidency. We bear great
good will to the republic, which,
next to our own, is the most popu¬
lous and powerful this side of the
AtlanfttfT'raqd which hits always
been 1 n friondVf ours, a better po¬
litical friend than a business custo¬
mer.
The apprehension which has ex¬
isted in Brazil that Peixoto would
violate the Constitution by refus¬
ing to leave office at the expiration
of his term was of great service to
the rebel party during the civil war,
which lasted into this year. The
two rebel Admirals declared as late
January that they had information
that Peixoto would not permit the
■Presidential election td be held in
March; but that election was held
under the authority of the man
whom they had falsely accused.
They then strove to keep up the re¬
bellion by pretending to possess in¬
formation that he had said he
would refuse to recognize the val¬
idity of the election when the time
came for his departure from office;
but there is now satisfactory assu¬
rance that this pretext was as false
as the other, and that the terms of
the Constitution will be maintain
ed by the statesman who
had so much to do with the draft¬
ing of that document after the es¬
tablishment of the republic four
years ago. Thus, in so far us the
rebellion was carried on to prevent
the setting up of a permanent dic¬
tatorship, there was no cause for its
existence. Peixoto was justified in
denying all along that he enter¬
tained th<rdesigns which were im¬
puted to him.
It is well for Brazil that Presi¬
dent Peixoto’* rule i« to come to
an end so soon. The civil war
which lasted through one-half of
bia term has left bitter memories
behind it, and he w an object of ha¬
tred to a large part of the popula¬
tion. He is thoroughly disliked
by the navy, which took the lead
j n the revolt against him. He has
exercised hi* authority in ways not
consistent with republicanism.
He ha* interfered with the right*
of the State*, more es
- of the
cialy with thoae u
State of Rio Grande do .
it
Heh
y Dr. Moraes.
The President-elect,
will assume office next month fret
from the disadvantages which havt
jeen a source of weakness to Presi¬
dent Peixoto. He is a man of hon¬
orable repute, of pacific disposi
;ion, of judicial mind and experi¬
ence, of an excellent name in tht
disturbed history of Brazil. Hit
issumption of office will very sure¬
ly be promotive of peace, as „ wc
.nay infer from the fact that thi
malj. bodies of rebels yet in tht
.ield have promised to lay dowi
their arms as soon as he shall ente:
upon the duties of the Presidency.
We have; hope for the practical
welfare of the Brazilian republic
during his time.
Hawaii and the Cable;
The news from Honolulu is that
the Hawaiian Government objects
to granting any concession for the
projected cable between British
Columbia and Australia, on the
ground that an existing treaty- wit!
the United States stipulates that
no grant of land or of special rights
shall be made to any other Govern -
ment.
At first this declaration may seen,
to conflict with the*fact that at the
Colonial Conference in July Mr.
Theodore Davies was present, as a
representative of the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce, and pro¬
posed, in behalf of that body, that
(lie cable should land at Honolulu.
But the real conclusion seems to
be that his mission was not sanc¬
tioned by- the Government of Ha¬
waii, and that no proposal of his
could bind that Government. Be¬
sides, the mere privilege of landing
is quite different from that of a
grant of fand to be held as British,
and subject only to British control.
The resolution adopted by the
Ottawa Conference insisted that
the cable should be “free from for¬
eign control,” but mentioned no
route, while the bids invited by the
Dominion Government described
eight distinct routes, of which five
take in Necker Island and two
others Honolulu. Hawaii claims
Necker Island as her own, and not
long ago formally raised Jier flag
there because information had been
received of Great Britain’s pur
pose to use it as a cable station.
Thus it appears that seven out of
eight of the routes were to touch
somewhere in Hawaii.
It may be embarrassing to the
British submarine project to leant
that Hawaii is averse to making
any grant of land to it. With that
archipelago,’ the most important
midocean station for a cable, it
would be strange to leave it out
of the enterprise altogether. Pre¬
sumably Hawaii herself would re¬
gret to be passed by, especially
sbould there be no prospect of an
American cable to Honolulu. But
if the news her government’s
position is correct, Great Britain
will either have to abandon the pro¬
ject of touching at one of these is¬
lands or must accept such a quali
find right as will yield no conces
sum of territory or involve exclu¬
sive control. *
But the point of immediate in¬
terest is the fidelity of Hawaii to
her treaty stipulations with the
United States, and to the various
interests which bind her to u* and
wilt dcubtleqs one day make her an
Integral part of our Union. It is a
fact that the treaty we have with
her provides that she stutll make no
grant of lands to other countries
without the consent of the United
Ktwv
Harbor,
