Harrison's first veto is a slap at a
Southern town, Dallas, Texas. Har
rison is both little and mean.
A lively triangular fight between
Henderson, Nesbit and-Hunnicutt, is
going on over the commissioner ship
of agriculture.
The New York legislature has abol

A mistake; they should have passed a

A facetious paragrapher suggests
a canning factory to can croakers
The suggestion and the alteration are
both good. However they are of
little use; not worth canning or prr
serving.
Thus writes a Georgia editor
‘‘Major Brown, of the Forks, dined
with us on Thursday last. The major
brought his dinner with him, and we
enjoyed ourselves immensely
again major !”
Gov. Ross, of Texas, lias prepared
a statement showing that last year
§540,73G were spent in that State for
the education of celored children
an amount prorated to them on their
proportion to the total population ot
the State. They pay 3 per cent, of
the taxes and get 13 per cent, of the
fund. In the last decade Texas has
spent over §4,000,000 on schools for
colored children.
The number on the pension rolls is
row about i,oco,ooo as many as were
•enrolled in the Federal army a quartc
of a century ago. By such high
handed measures the republican
leaders expect to build up their parly
in the North and West at the expense
•of the South.—Timcs-Union Jackson
ville.
Pensions are designed by the repub
lican party to manufacture votes.
••We have received," writes a Geor
gia editor, "an order for our paper
from Texas. What a rebuke it is to
our people when even the heathen
patronize us !’’—Atlanta Constitution.
A'lanta is nothing if she is not pro
gressive. They have a laundry in
that city where the impecunious may
drop in shuck off a shirt, have it
washed and ironed, while the owner
reclines in an ante room reading
the great and good Constitution.
The mere talk of the sub treasury
trust has raised the price of flour near
ly a dollar a barrel. It the trust could
be consummated, some of the im-
precunious fellows who are howling
for it would scratch their throats with
cornbread the rest of their days.—
Sparta lshmarlite.
The Ixhmaclitc is one of the stron
gest and ablest advocates of the Alli
ance in Georgia. It is now generally
conceded, bv those who have investi
gated the subject, that the sub-treas
ury plan is impracticable.
Here's a Nut to Crack.
Will some ol our Northern contem
poraries, who are howling about the
down trodden colored people at the
South, run their eagle eyes over the
following paragraph from the Morning
News;
“A leading colored man of New
York city wants to know why it is that
the men of his race do not succeed
in that city in rising above the posi
tions of boot-black and porter. His
question is easily answered. The
northern people have a prejudice
against 'he colored people that is
much stronger than southern whites
have against the blacks. The colored
people will admit that this is true after
a awhile.''
Pensions by the Wholesale.
The surplus-spenders of the House
have added to the pension list at one
swoop COO,(IDO men—more than a
grand army ot the great Napoleon.
It was the boast of one of the re
publicans who supported this service
pension hill that “the total expendi
ture for pensions would reach Slot),-
000,000 per annum, or nearly 43 per
cent, of the gross income of the gov
ernment.'' This, lie added, was “not
nil he wished to do, Imt it resulted in
a inunifice.it generosity, such ns the
world hnd novel before witnessed,
and exceeding that of ail the other
civilized nations combined.”
Is not this a proud boast for a
peaceful republic, whose revenues
come front taxes upon the people and
whose armies were composed of citi
zens enlisted to defend their own gov
ernment ? The pension list of the
United .States will cost, if this bill
shall pass the Senate, more than the
largest standing army in the world.
And instead of diminishing it, will
increase yearly, as more and more
soldiers reach the age of sixty years.
The bill is as had in principle as it
is reckless in :ts provisions. It pen
sions all equally, without regard to
their length of service, their physical
condition or their need of assistance.
It makes a discarded virtue of patriot
ism. It is a bid for votes and not a
just or reasonable provisions. Audit
wipes out the surplus and makes rev
enue reduction impracticable.—New
York World.

Judging from scattering remarks in
the Georgia papers, there will proba
bly be an election in this State along
in the fall. Gentlemen who love to
serve their country should let the fact
be known. The dear people are
shouting for you to come out and the
offices are seeking the office-holders.

time to sec that the best men are
nominated for office in Georgia.

says; "The sacred city of Jerusalem

a while civilization will get around to

From London.
London, April 5.—The statement
that only about 100,000 square miles
of land suitable for settlement by
emigrants remains in the United
States has come to Englishmen most
of whom have been clinging to the
belief of that America was only half
settled a^ well as only partially civil
ized.
Tho Savannah Daily Times, speak
ing of the outlook for a cotton crop,
says:
The outlook for cotton is very good
at present, although at so early a
stage in the scit-on little is to he said
that can he taken as accurate or as an
acceptable prophesy as to what the
suit will he.
A member of a firm on the Bay,
who has just returned from a trip
through Southwestern Georgia, says
he found the planters confident of a
good large crop. Some wanted rain,
and it is probable that by this time
their desire in that inspect has liccn
granted. < Bring to the fine prices at
which the last crop was disposed of
there was a decided tendency, he
found, to increase the acreage. Su
perintendent Merrihow, of the Cotton
Exchange, says that two factors who
have been through the State made
reports of similar nature to this.
Uxchanges front the different coun
ties all report a hopeful feeling among
planters.
Don't you think," he asked in hes
itating accents, “that you could learn
