Wilted collars go hand in-hand with wilted hopes. .There will be sixteen contested seats in the next congress. As the republi cans have a majority of three in the house, it is not difficult to forecast the result in most of these cases.

Zealous, But Not Wise. It is not easy to understand why the friends of prohibition iu the Con necticut legislature could want the question of constitutional prohibition put to a vote iu that state, and yet they have secured the passage of a bill for that purpose. It may well lie doubted in the ljgjit of elections ou this question during the last year or two. whether they have acted wisely. Constitutional prohibition docs not appear to he what the people want. Two years ago Oregon defeated it, then Texas defcatca it, and then West Virginia. This year it lias been defeated in New Hampshire and Mas sachusetts. According to the Voice, a prohibition organ, it was defeated iu the last named state because the fight was not a non-partisan one, the 8 00 repnblicans generally voting against it. The Voice gives the votes in the democratic and republican counties to bear out this assertion, and while it appears that more democrats than republicans voted fir the amendment, yet doubtless the chief cause of the defeat was the proposed inclusion of cider in the list of prohibited intoxi cants. The prohibitionists expected that their majorities in the towns Yvould overcome those against them in the cities, but in this ' they were disanpointed. Cider is a* source of a considerable revenue to the Massachu- sets farmers, and it is their fireside beverage. Therefore, the greater number voted against theamendment. Whatever the cause of the defeat in the state, however, its effects will be adverse to the cause of prohibition at. the election in Pennsylvania in June, and with the record of defeat as giYen above, it is*quite surprising that the prohibitionists of the Connecticut leg islature should have been in favor of an election in that state on constitu- tionol prohibition. If they had it in their power to control prohibition leg islation, ns it appears they had, tlioy would have acted with wisdom by placing the question before the people in a more popular form.—News. Georgia, conservative, sensible Georgia, has coir o as near solving the vexed problem of “prohibition as any state in the union. Here, it is, very properly, made a question of lo cal option. If a town or county wants prohibition they cau have it, if they do not waut it uo state statute forces it upon them. And it has been abundantly demonstrated that the law cannot bo enforced where a ma jority arc opposed to it. Georgia’s way is the best way. I n fact Georgia is generally about right. No Favors Looked, For. Ex-Senator Eustis, speaking of the president’s southern policy, says : “It is believed in the South, and I believe myself, that the president will recom mend to congress the enactment of a federal election law in the South whereby the entire machinery for the election of congressmen will pass un der federal control. He will- do this to satisfy the disgruuted set of old republicans leaders. The president’s Southern jiolicy, while otscnsibly general ia its nature, will , really he tutended to effect his pafty in tiic border states,' where alone they can hope to make gains. Democrats who expect Harrison to taken conservative stand, when the republicans introduce sectional legis lation iu the next congress—as they arc sure to do—will be mistaken. Harrison will not daru to veto or op pose such partizan measure. He owes his elevation to the presidency to this same .sectional, partizan spirit, and it is not likely he will assist in destroy ing the ladder by vhich lie climbed. Grover Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland still holds his (ilace in the confidence of the people. Some people thought he would drop out iif sight when he left the white house. But he hasn’t. Nor is lie likely to do s i. The ptfpcrs aud peo ple still talk about him. His shadow reaches across the intervening years between now aud 1892. His burly form is gradually taking torra ou the canvas of that year. “Gath,” the strong republican aud able writer, in speafflngof Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Hayes and President Harrison, at the New York Centennial, says: Cleveland is the best natural orator ot the three; he has more origiuality of literary style, more force of expres sion, and rather more acuteness to make an old point in a new way, or a new point iu a fine way. The phys ical clement, the rough courage, the Belt-concentration and the ambition ate more palpable in Cleveland than' in two such men as Harrison and Hayes put together. Mr. Halford, the president’s pri Yfttc secretary, is iu Atlanta. He joined his wife there a day or so since. It is shrewdly guessed that "Lije” is measuring up some of the applicants from Georgia for federal appoint ments. He will find some mighty lit tle men in his party in this stale. A Relic of Secession, Mii.i.GiMiKvii.tK, May il.—Judge Siuitord, a promiueut lawyer of this city, and an enthusiastic ex-Confed erate, has iu his possession a cbpy of the ordinance of secession, printed ou silk. The names of nil the signers of the ordinance, and of tho five who dissented but pledged their support to the new government also appear. At the bottom of the ordinance is a statement to the effect that Mr. Stro ther would have signed the ordinance, but was prevented by sickness. Judge Sanford Las had the interest ing sheet for twenty-five years, and says he wouldn’t part with it for any amount of money. It is quite an interesting relict and has been examined by a great num ber of people. Albany and Her Railroads. The News and Advertiser of last Saturday contained an article from the pen of Mayor H. M. McIntosh, in which that gentleman goes for the various railroads ceniering ill that city in a very decided way. Mayor McIntosh says the railroads must have their tracks properly plank ed, or the city will tear them up. In cidentally Mayer McIntosh refers to the failure of the coiporations to pro vide suitable accommodations for pas sengers getting off and on trains in the city. The city authorities are now consid ering tlic important question of the erection of a crematory for the destruc tion of the city’s garbage. _ The meth od has been successfully tried in Jack sonville, Brunswick and other South ern citieS The cost of a crematory would be small and the danger from partial destruction of the city’s refuse matter is great. To dump it on the commons, ns hns been done heretofore, is to invite disease. Wc hope this question, will receive from* *the city council the careful consideration it demands.—Macon Telegraph. This is a question which interests every Southern town. Is there not a grain of philosophy, and n grain of fact, too, in the remark of the Charleston News and Courier, that “the principal reason why the North has distrusted flic South has liecn the disposition of so many men iu this section to explain and npolo- gize, where neither explanation nor apology lias been needed.” Any man kuotys how to make a clearing of a given width over which vehicles may pass, under tavorable conditions; hut there arc very few men who arc able to construct a road on correct principles. To do that requires a degree of technical skill not found iu matiy men. This fact shows the importance of a change iu the methods of making and main taining roads iu Georgia. A queer decision conies from the supreme court ot Nebraska. It is that a mortgage on growing edrn does not cover the corn alter it is gathered and cribbed. Growing corn is held to be real estate and homestead corn per sonalty not covered by a mortgage on real estate. An exchange suggests that the principle of this decision car ried out legitimately would invalidate a mortgage on a house dated last year because the house ot this year is not the house ot last year. Hanison is taking care ot his kins men. He has, already, appointed half a dozen of them to office. The republicans would have been terribly shocked had Cleveland pursued the same course. The Southern Baptist convention, now in session at Memphis, have de cided to keep up the publication of ‘•Kind Words.” The .decision was roundly applauded by the great con vention. Chattanooga Bonds Sell High. Chattanooga, Thnn., May 13— Chattanooga sewer bonds, twenty years, 6 per cent., were -sold lo-day to Harris & Co., of Chicugc,for 113}. There, were bidders front all over the country, and the price ' secured is a pleasing indication of the confidence in southern securities. Cardinal Gibbous, of Baltimore, the great Catholic prelate, the head of tbc church iu this country, is expected in Atlanta this week. Governor Gordon has returned to Atlanta.

Nino hundred thousand bales of cotton are produced in Georgia. For every bale of cotton there is about oue thousand p< unds of seed ; so wo have nine hundred million pouuds of seed ; divide by 2,000, to, reduce to tons, yvc have 150,000 tons of cotton seed raised in this state, take 50,000 toii3 for plantiug purposes and wc have 100,000 tons left for sale. In the 100,000 tons of cotton seed there are 31,280,000 pounds of ammo nia, worth at 15 cents per pound, 84,002,000. There were 136,500 tons of ammoniated guano sold iu Georgia last vear; this contained an average of 21 per cent of ammonia or 6,800- 000, pounds of ammonia. .So, yon see thnf you bought nearly 7,000,000 pounds of ammonia, or 81,050,000 worth of ammonia, when you had nearly 84,600 000 wortli ou your own plantation?. • This is an ugly showing, but it is a great improvement ou the old style of throwing the seed away entirely. When you part with your seed, do so in exchange for meal at a fair equiva lent ; then buy acid phosphate from the factory and make your own guano. Arrange fir your acid phosphate earl y, say in August or September.—Atlanta Journal. Tank Off Ilia I’nilcr I.tp. Eight years ago a cancer came on my low er lip.
