Pennsylvania is talking about fol
lowing Georgia’s example by calling
a road congress. Pennsylvania would
do well to follow Georgia in some
other things: for instance, in her
rousing democratic majorities.
And now Mr- Blaine says we must
have Cuba. Probably Spain will
have something to say about this.
Blaine would not hesitate to involve
the country in trouble to gratify bis
personal ambition.
According to the new law govern
ing Jacksonville, which goes into
effect next month, the maximum of
the Mayor’s salary is fixed at $25
per month. This salary hardly com
ports with the dignity and importance
of the office.

And now the German steamer,
Augusta Victoria, has beat the time
of the City of Paris, making the
quickest trip ever made across the
Atlantic. The City of Paris recently
bent all previous records by more
■ than two flours. The German steam
er, allowing for Joss of time, made it
in five days, twenty-two hours and
thirty minutes.
Mrs. Harrison wauts more room in
the white house. A few days ago
she discovered several rooms in the
garret, which were filled with old
books, documents, patent office re
ports, Congressional Records, etc. She
consulted.her husband and found that
the stuff was of no value. A junk
dealer was called in and made a bar
gain for the worthless collection. The
servants of the v hite house have been
busy for several davs carrying the
books and papers down stairs. By
this circumstance Mrs. Harrison has
at her disposal several large rooms
which may be made to serve a very
useful purpose.
There are now in the United States
about 157,000 miles of railroad, and
the Railway Age of Chicago estimates
that the country will eventually, and
at no distant day, maintain five times
as much. Massachusetts has more
miles of railway to area than any other
state, the proportion being one mile
to every four square miles of territory.
The Age thinks that this is not the
limit of nrofitable railway construc
tion, but that it will proceed indefi
nitely in all the states.
While the Georgia editors are get
ting ready for a trip through the West
the Ohio editors are starting ou a tour
of the south. The Ohio Editorial
Association started from Cincinnati
Friday to visit numerous points of
interest in the south. Their route
will lie through Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama a,pd Georgia. Reports of
the rapid development of these states
have attracted the Buckeye newspaper
men, and we nre confident that when
they have seen for themselves they
will be ready to adopt the historic
words of Sheba’s queen after her inter
view with Solomon.
Was Bishop Dead.
It is now claimed by the wife aud
mother of Bishop that the wonderful
mind reader was not d tad, hut in a
trance, when' the autopsy was per
formed on him. It is said that one
iu a trance is perfectly conscious of
everything going on around them.
If this he true, and if Bishop was
only in a trance, as is alleged, what
must have been his feelings when he
heard the doctors whetting their in
struments, and discussing where and
how they would commence cutting?
The very thought is too horrible foi
contemplation. Tne family are going
to sue the doctors who sawed and cut
the man up, within two or three hours
after his death, without permission.
None of the dead man’s family was
in New York when he died. The
doctors explain their haste by saying
they wanted to examine Bishop’s
brain, before it was changed to i
much by death. It was indecent
haste, to say the least of it. Science
doesn’t require phyA'ans to hut men
up before it is positively known that
they are dead.
New Jersey, having distinguished
herself by the promptness with which
she sends ciiminals to the penitentiary
or the gallows, has now entered upon
an interesting experiment in the mat
ter of dealing with persons guilty of
cimes not involving violence. A law
has been passed under the provisions
of which persons who have served
oue-half of their terms, with the com
mutation for good conduct, m ly be
paroled,, being required, however, to
report at stated intervals to the prison
authorities.. It is simply the ticket-of-
leave system once of force in Australia,
aud which worked well in a sparsely-
settled, primitive community. What
will be the result in a center of popu
lation like New Jersey is extremely
problematical.
An Outlet for the F. C. & P.
The greatest gathering of Sunday
school men ever had will be seeu in
London in July. The world’s Sun
day-school convention will as-erable
in that citv on July 2d. Very low
rates have been secured for persons in
the United States who wish to attend.
The trip from New York to London
and return, including railroad fare,
board at a good hotel during the con
vention and incidentals, will cost only
from $160 to $220, according to ac
commodations. The triD will occupy
about a month. The Bothnia, which
ia to carry the excursion, will sail
June 10.
Notice of the incorporation of the
Alabama, Georgia and Florida rail
road, from the Georgia line to some
point in Leon or Gadsden county, has
been filed in the office of the secretary
of state at Tallahassee. That part re-
faring to the road from the state line
to Columbus, Ga., has been filed with
the secretary of state of Georgia. At
Columbus it will meet the Chnttauoo '
ga and Columbus road, from Chatta
nooga to Rome. This road is now
finished from Chattanooga to Carroll
ton, 140 miles, and in rapid construe
tion to Columbus, seventy miles fur
ther. It is expected to be finished
this vear, nnd will afford an oulet for
the f\ C. & P.
Thnmasville, at one time, might
have secured this outlet. At least
thero was a most excellent chnucc for
it. But, like many other opportu
nities, it was allowed to . p iss. Only
second in importance to an independ
ent Northern outlet, and we are not
quite sure that it is second to that, is
a connection with the F. It. &N. sys
tem, a. connection which would give
Thomasville the advantage of two ad
ditional lines of steamships to and
from New York; one, the Mallory
line, from Fernandina, and the other
the Glydo line from Jacksonville.
Thomasville business men are vitally
interested in New York freights.
Some Railroad News.
The Savannah, Ainerieus and
Montgomery railroad have recently
purchased the Atlanta and Florida
air line, now completed from Atlanta
to Fort Valley, Ga., and have let
contracts for the construction of the
road -from Fort Valley to Cordele,
A junction with their main line will
he made, also with the Georgia South,
ern and Florida liue. This line from"
Jacksonvi’le to Chattanooga, via the
Florida, Central and Peninsula to
Lake City, Georgia Southern to Cor
dele, Atlanta and Florida air liue to
Atlanta, and Western Atlantic, will
make the shortest line by twenty
miles from Jacksonville to Atlanta,
This liue will make the rates to all
points west.
The air is full of new railroad lines.
Cities, towns and sections are strain
ing every nerve for better railroad fa
cilities. In this struggle Thomasville
will he left—unless her capitalists
combine and protect themselves and
the place.
A Reminiscence of the Mexican
War.
A correspondent of the Constitu
tion lias beeu interviewing Mr. Lewis
F. Robertson, n Mexican war veteran
and prominent bank official of
Charleston, S. C’. Mr. Robertson puts
some salt ou Sherman’s hide in the
talk. We take the following from the
Constitution's publication:
“Robertson served through the
Mexican war as second lieutenant of
company F in the regiment from this
state, known ns the Palmetto repi
ificnt. He is credited with being one
<if the first United States soldiers to
plant the colors on the walls of the
City of Mexico. He also had a hand
in the late unDlcasnntness—on the
southern side, of course. He is not an
admirer of Gen. Win. T. Shermnu.
Here is what he said to the corres
pondent:
. “The great barn burner and bum
mer chief, Sherman, ought to read up
a little of the history of the country.
There are men who fought for the
Union when Sherman was in knicker
bockers. f don’t know where Sherman
was in the davs of’48 and therea
bouts. hut I know that when men
were wanted at the front down in
Mexico there was a regiment of
South Carolinians there, and they did
:(ood service. The Palmetto regiment
managed to do some good service in
Mexico, although they fought under
the Palmetto flag.
“As a matter pf fact, wo didn’t see
the stars and stripes from the time we
left Charleston until we entered the
City of Mexico. In those days we did
not think it was necessary for men to
wear a United Slates flag on his coat
sleeve to prove his loyalty to hiscoun-
try, provided he proved it hyTTghting.
Nor was it regarded necessary to
prove one's loyalty to the flag by
burning barns, destroying homesteads
and hanging negroes up to the limbs
of trees to make them tell where the
family .silver was hidden. Let me
give you an incident, which can he
verified by the history of the Mexican
war.
“As I have already said, the Pal
itto regiment, which served througl
that war, didn’t carry the stars aud
stripos. They had a plain Palmetto
flag, presentt d to them ju-fl before
they went to the front. At Chamil-
tepee there was a hitch somewhere.
I don’t want to say who is to blame,
hut the troops who were at the trout,
and who had the stars and stripes
with them, didn't move on as prompt
ly as the commandiug officer desired.
So that officer sent word to Gladden
to move his regiment, the Palmettq, to
the front, and to storm the walls.
“The order was given, and the
‘armed mob,’ with the Palmetto flag
at its head, marched up. passed the
advance troops, who were lying in the
trenches with the stars and stripes,
and with a yell and a rush, captured
the fortress and planted the Palmetto
flag on its battlements The troops
with stars and stripes came up later.
Then we pushed forward to the City
of Mexico,leaving the stars and stripes,
which had come up later, flying over
Chapultepec.
“The Palmetto regiment were in
advance when the city of Mexico sur
rendered, and T remember the inci
dent. General Quitman, who was in
command, called upon us for 'lie ua-
t nual colors We didn't have them.
He was told that they hud been left
behind at Chapultepec. I was thire
at the time with our old Palmetto
flag, and said to him that the only
national flag wc had had been left be
hind gt Chapultepec.
' Here.’ said I, 'is the Palmetto
flag, nnd I expect it will do till yon
can get the national colors.’
"The general took the flag and
planted it on the walls. Jt was tbs
first flag that waved over the City of
Mexico after its capture."
Lieutenant Robertson says that the
-facts, as lie stated them, can be veri-j
fied by history.
Corporal Tanner is still engaged in
reducing the surplus. The Corporal
ought to he reduced himself—-to
ranks.

Under the new law the governor of
Florida appoints eighteen couucilmen
to govern the city of Jacksonville,
This was made necessary by the un
reliable character aud purchasable
quality of the voters of Jacksonville.
This is rather a sad commentary ou
popular suffrage. It will be remem
bered that even a republican congress
was so disgusted with the reign ot
negro supremacy in Washington City,
they annulled the right of suffrage in
the District of Colli m big. Fleming
will give to Jacksonville a model city I
