The legislature will meet on Wednes day, July the third. They, will meet in the old capitol the first day. The Michigan Senate defeated the woman suffrage bill by a vote of ten to sixteen. It had passed the house by a large majority. Honda wants the United States to buy Cuba. They offer, in the name of the Cubans, one hundred millions. Spam will hardly consider the offer. The Macon Cadets have entered four inter-Stnte drills and from every one of them have come ofl with first, honors. • Pennsylvania votes on prohibition tbe lStluof June. It is said that both sides are spending money freely. Votes are always for sale in that state. ■ * ’ ! » Republican editors continue to pitch into Mr. Cleveland. They evi dently regard him as still an import ant factor in American politics. They will be convinced Of this in 1892. By a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court, iu S. Cl, the homestead of John C. Calhoun goes to the state. It will be used as a scat for an agricultural aud . mechanical col lege. Chief Justice Fuller handed down the opiuiou. A fine game of diplomacy is being played in Berlin, by American, En glish and German diplomats, over the Samoan question. The Americans appear to be holding their own. Georgia editors will take euougb t? String apparel along in their grips, on the excursion out West, to keep their hollow glass-ware from break ing. Those who are waiting to step into your Uncle Joseph’s shoes, as U. S. Senator, are likely to grow several crops of corns before getting their pedal extremities into Joey B’s shoes. It is said that Harrison will appoint law partner Miller to the Supreme bench. Miller is classed as a second rate lawyer. Harrison has unear hed a good many second rate men. It is said that Col. Tom Hardeman, who will have to step down and out of the Macon post office, would like to succeed Mr. Blount in congress. The political.pot begins to simmer. It will soon be boiling—over. Here is a matriage notice lrom a Cleveland paper: "In Guilford, Me dina, O., on the 2d inst., by S Wilson 1 Esq., Mr. Samuel D. Curtis to Miss Sallic Murphey, after a tedious court ship of fifteen years, which was borne with Christian fortitude and patience.” It is to be hoped that the road con* grcsB will result iu tbe inauguration of some plan by which better roads will be had in Georgia. The subject is a most important one. It goes without saying that our system of keeping up public roads is very defec tive and inefficient. There ought to be some plan adopted to improve it. The work, which Ins been going on for more than a quarter of a century, improving Muscle shoals, on the Ten nessee river, will be completed this fell. Millions have been spent on the work. The completion of the work will give Chattanooga, and other points on the Tennessee river, a big boom. The Rising Flood. Frutn the Times-Union, Jacksonville. 'Washington dispatches to the N. Y, World announce that the 882,000,- 000 appropriated for the payment of pensions this year has already been exhausted, with six week? more of the fiscal year to be provided for. The probability of a deficiency is therefore converted .into a certainty, and the expectation—perhaps the boast—of the bureau that itAvill be able to dis pose of over 8100,000,000 before July, seems likely to be realized.” The ex-soldicrs of the Union armies are much less to blame for this extra ordinary raid ou the treasury than arc the claim agents, n new species of shyster developed since the war. During every session of Congress they crowd the lobbies of House and Sen ate. Tt is an array of dead-beats con stantly increasing. They bunt every so-called ex-soldier who ever stumped his toe during the war, while, under going a three months’ servieo (at home) as a substitute; and if he hap pens to be dead they enlist his moth er, father, wife, or some other relative to appear iu his stead. It need not be reiterated that the people of the South (and especially the late Confederate soldiers) cheer fully pay their pro rata of the peusion list. Among the warmest friends of the real Union soldiers in the Sruth, Congressmen who had served in the armies of Lee and Johnston have been the most steadfnst. But it is an imposition against which tho whole country protests, the effort to quarter hundreds of thousands of dend-beats upon the treasury. The World says: “In any other country than this, or with a people less indifferent than are ours to what becomes of the revenues, the extraor dinary growth of the pension fund under the combined efforts of the claim agents and political demagogues, would be startling. “In 1878, thirteen years after the close of the war, when tho claims would naturally have begun to di minish, the applications allowed had decreased from a maximum of 50,000 in 1866, the year after the war, to about 11,000. The disbursements had fallen from a maximum of 833,- 000,000 in 1871 to 826,000,000. Last year, twenty-three years after tho close of the war, the applications allowed were over sixty thousand— including the survivors of the Mexi can war, lately pensioned--and the disbursements this year will be at leas* 890,000,000. This sum exceeds by 827,000,000 the total ordinary expeuses of the Federal government in the year be fore the war. It equals the cost of the standing army of Great Britain (180.000 strong) and nearly equals tbe cost of tho great German army (almost 500 strong). And with Cor poral Tanner in charge there is no telling where it will stop.” There ought to be a universal pro test against Tanner’s raid on tho pub lic crib. He wil’ saddle the country with the payment of millions aud millions of dollars of fraudulent pen sioners, unless checked. There will be a saturnalia amoug the horde of hungry .pension agents in Washington for tho next four years. The surplus will not bother the democrats when they return to power iu 1892. We take the following extracts from Gov. Gordon’s address before the Road Congress: “I recognize fully tho justice of tlje demand made upon mo by your com mittee and your chairman. It is alto gether proper that he who chaucoe at this time to be the executive of this great state should in the name of the state welcome to the capital of the state a body of the citizens of the state who, without drawing one dollar for salary or expense from the treasury of the s’tatc, have nevertheless con vened to devise and discuss methods and measures to promote the prosperity of the state. [Applause.] * * v * ik “And now, gentlemen, one word of exhortation, which I know to be un necessary to such a body of men. Let thespiritof unselfish, unbought patriot ism which has convened you preside over your deliberations, actuate you and control you, and God, who is always on the side of the men who work without pay for the public good, shall bring a blessing to our state aud our people. [Applause.]” “Will the educated woman marry?” is a question now under discussion iu some of the magazines. That de pends. If her education makes her bright, pleasant, entertaining and sensible, she will marry, provided a man worth having is within reach But if her education makes her criti cal, dogmatic and pedantic, she will not marry, for the simple reason that no man will ask her. All women ought to be well educated, Nothing more requires a wise aud well trained mind than to administer well the af fairs of a household. An education which unfits a woman for this is not worth the name. The bravtst man of the decade turns up out West: lie has married his mother-in-law. Wonders' will never ceaee. The Next Democratic Leader. It will be more than three years before the two great political parties iu this country name their candidates for the next presidential contest. Consequently inquiries as to favor ites for these honors are premature at this time, aud the opinions of to-day concerning the merits and availability of candidates may he materially mod ified or completely changed by the course of events between now aud 1892. But the New York Press has taken the trouble to ask quite a num ber of democratic editors in all sec tions of the country their opiuiou “as to the probable leader of the Demo cratic party iu the next national po litical light.” Thirty replies were received. Nineteen of these name Mr. Cleveland as the most available democratic leader for 1892. Six pre fer Gov. Hill. Ex-Secretary Whit ney, Hon. John M. Palmer, of Illinois, and Hon. John G. Carlise, of Ken tucky, have one vote each in this editorial primary election. One reply indicates “cither Hill or Whitney” and one is non-committal. The most notable thing about these predic ions is that nearly every’one of them points to tarifl retorul as tbe great issue iu the next national cam paign, and most of the preferences for Mr. Cleveland are based on the fact that he lias made himself the most prominent exponent of that idea. This is only one of the manv recent evidences that Mr. Cleveland holds a very large place in the. public thought, and that ho is generally associated with the possibilities of our next great political contest. The Press is disposed to attach considerable value to the replies to its inquiry. It says: “The importance of this great symposium of opinious eauuot be over-estimated. Every ouc of these men makes poli tics a study. They read all the speeches of our great mcu. They come in contact familiarly with poli ticians. They receive thousands of letters every month from eager and able democrats. They’ arc therefore able to speak with authority.”—Tele graph. «Q .

They have some im portant work before them; notably the disposition of the State road, the ques tion ot schools, the question of the leasiug of the State’s convicts, and matters of general interest. The occupation of the new capitol, for the first time, will probably be marked with imposing ceremonies ap- Dropriate to the occasion. “Papa,” asked the small boy, “why do some dudes wear only one eye glass?" “Because, my son,” answered his father, “they are not able to com preher.d all that they might see with both eyes.” The Rev. W. B. Burke, son of Rev. J. W. Burke, of Macon,Ga., who lately went to Chinn ns a missionary, was married at the residence of Rov. A. P. Parker, at Suchow, recently, to Miss Addic F. Gordon, who is also a missionary at that place. General J. D. Kennedy,“United States Consul, aud other notables were present. Af ter the ceremony the ncwlv wedded pair left for Sungkiung, where Ilev. Mr. Burke is stationed. The groom is a noble, manly Christian minister, and bis bride is well fitted to share his arduous labors in every emergency. STRAYED.

An Editor's Experience. ~ Major Sidney Herbert, a well known journalist in agricultural circles, writes April 18, t88tj: ; Some five y&trs ago 1 wrote a letter staling that Swift’s Spe cific had cured me of severe rheuma tism. Since that time I haVc had no return of the rheumatic frdubles, al though frequently exposed to the influ ences that produced former attacks. Several of my friends had the same experience, and are firm in the convic tion that S. S. S. brought a permanent cure. The searching power of this medicine is shown in the fact that it developed a scfofulus taint that was conspicuous in my blood over thirty years ago, and has removed the last trace of it. I have also tested S. S. S. as a tonic after a severe attack of ma larial fever which kept me in bed for three months, and am convinced that its curative and strengthening powers insured my recovery from that illness, as 1 was in a very low condition of health.
