1 The ‘‘rope route” vs. electricity, is
being discussed by the press. The
country is divided, some asserting
that Kemmler’s execution by electric

was a failure. One thing is certain :
the fluid killed Kemralcr.

more, unless she is fond of vegetables.

There were hundreds of disgusted,
disgruntled Atlantiaus on the Geor
gia Pacific R. R. between Atlanta
nnd the Piedmont Chataugua, on
Thursday night. It took five hours
to run twenty miles. The kickin
was vigorous nnd continuous, and the
amount of profanity indulged enough
to shock the whole state.
A book has recently been issued
entitled "The Woman of the Future.”

When it comes to the woman of to-day

The Serious Joke.
The Timcs-Union, Jacksonville,
says:
As an example of hasty legislation
and its consequences, the St. Paul
Globe ciles the case of the Wyoming
female suffrage law. It was adopted
by the territorial legislature in 1870,
and "was one of those piecesof humor
that at times possess legislatures ; it
was a pure joke.” The governor
was expected to veto the bill, but he
preferred to see the joke carried ou f .
The next legislature repealed the act,
but tnc governor vetoed the repeal.
So the joke went on, till the women
became so strong politically as to se
cure recognition of their right of suf
frage in the state constitution. They
found they derived certain advantages
from the ballot, and would not give it
up.
At first thought it seems incredib’e
that any legislature should pass such
a monentous act “as a joke,” but
when we consider what sort of men
mu-t have composed the legislature
ot Wyoming twentv years ago it does
not seem very strange that such a bill
should have been patsed without re
gard to the governor’s veto. When
we consider also what sort of women
are most numerous in those frontier
regions we can imagine that their
presence at elections would add an
interest to them peculiarly agreeable
to miners and cowboys. As to the
results of this very practical joke the
Globe says :
The facts as developed seem to be
that it does not work out any of the
guod results claimed for it. The bet
ter class of women very largely either
do not vote at all or cast the same
ballot as their male relatives. The
less worthy elements, and they arc
numerous in mining regions, vote for
pay. This is true of many very res
pectable lades. They look upon
political races as upon horse races,
and dresses, jewelry and money are
demanded for theii votes. It is very
common for girls under 21 to vote,
no man daring to challenge them.
To do this would subject him to
ridicule and very likely result in his
being driven from the community.
More money is required to run the
elections, and in place of purifying
politics, the participation of women
demoralizes them.
Beautiful Thoughts.
Say ivlmt you will about Robert In-
gcrsoll—call him pagan, infidel, or
agnostic, no one can dispute the fact
that lie has a big brain and a tender
heart.
This good man gone wrong—this
stormy petrel of the dead sea of doubt,
sometimes rises above the mists and
togs that blind most of us, and in his
sunnier moods sings n song of gladness
that rejoices weary hearts, ana uplifts
the bowed bonds of the sorrowing.
Here is what he says about the
laugh ol a child:
Strike with baud of fire, oh, weird
musician, thy harp strung with Apol
lo’s golden hair! Fill the vast cathe
dral aisles witli symphonies sweet and
dim, deft touclier of the organ’s keys!
Blow, bugler, blow, until thy silvery
notes do touch nnd kiss the moonlit
waves that charm the lovers wander
ing over hills vine-clad! Yet know
ve that your music is all discord com
pared to the laugh of a child—that
laugh that marks the boundary line
between the beasts and men, nnd
every wayward wave of which doth
drown some fretful friend of care. O,
Laughter, rose-lipped daughter of Joy,
there arc enough dimples in thy
cheeks to catch and hold and glorify
all the tears of grief.
A Heavenly Display.
The Savannah Daily Times says:
About the 10th of the present
month the earth, in its annual revolu
tion around the sun, entered what is
commonly known as the ‘‘meteoric
belt,” which, being disturbed unus
ually by the appearance of mother
earth spinning along on her annual
pathway, throws out from time to
time showers of shooting stars. These
meteoric displays, occurring yearly
about the time of the feast of St.
Lawrence, the martyr—Aug. 12—
have been known from time immemo
rial as "St. Lawrence’s tears.” The
constellation of Perseus is very near
the centre of the meteor zone, and if
close watch be kept during these sum
mer nights in this part of the sky a
grand display of heavenly pyrotechnic
may lie sent at any moment.
Stop the Steal.
Few persons have any adequate
idea of how rapidly the pension roll of
thiscountry is increasing. It will soon
swamp the entire revenues of the
government as now adjusted. The
Constitution, speaking of this start
ling increase in the expenses of the
government, says:
It lias been computed that the an
nual cost to the government five years
hence on account of pensions will ex
ceed the enormous sum of $340,000,-
000—not solely on account ot the fact
that pensions are being doubled to
individuals, "for service rendered,”
but that new individual applications
are pouring in on the government
every day, and men who never
shouldered a musket nor smelt gun-
powder during the war are posing as
veterans and demanding recognition.
Men of nerve, men who will have
the manhood to vole down these pen
sion steals should be sent to congress.
The coumry never needed a Cleveland
more than at tins time. He never
hesitated to veto these shameless
grabs.
The Lottery in Politics.
If the people of Louisiana do not
unite and smash the Louisiana lottery
into smithereens, they ought to do so.
Speaking of the latest move of this
rapacious concern, the Brunswick
Times, says:
The Louisiana Lottery Company
proposes to the Republican leaders
that if they will defeat the anti-lotte
ry legislation contemplated by Con
gress, it will send five Republican
members from Louisiana and two
from Arkansas to the next House.
This it will do, of course, by the use
of money. It is a disgrace to the
civilization of this country that the
Louisiana lottery is permitted to exist.
Its corrupting influence is felt in every
State, not only in social and commer
cial circles, but in political affairs.
Unchecked, it will soon become as
powerful as the government itself,
perhaps more so.
Harmony and Good Will.
From the Tribune of Home,
The recent session of the State
Democratic Convention was a remark
able one from first to last. It was a
business convention, composed of men
representing every interest, all work
ing for the good of the State and the
party. The session was a brief one,
the same amount of work being ac
complished in one day which usually
requires two or three. Every action
of the convention was full of harmony
and good will. There was earnest
ness and enthusiasm exhibited at all
times, but ot no time was it more no
ticeable than when the idea was
stressed that by and through the
Democratic party alone must relief
come to the masses. The fact was re
cognized by all and the determination
to adhere strictly to the doctrine of
the Democratic party as laid down in
the national platform of 1888, was
manifestly exhibited.
Col. J. (Twaddell.
The election of this well known and
universally popular Georgian to the
presidency of the Stale Agricultural
Society was a'dcservcd compliment to
the gentleman and a high tribute to
his personal worth. He is a fit suc
cessor to Mr. Northen, and the long
list of distinguished Georgians who
have so ably filled the position. We
predict for the society under Col.
Waddell’s administration enlarged
usefulness and an era of prosperity,
not excelled by any former adminis
tration. South Georgia congratulates
the Colonel and will aid in holding up
his hands, in his new and responsible
position.
The Farmers for Gordon.
The following resolution was unan
imously adopted by the representative
farmers ol Georgia, in convention as
sembled at I.aGrange, on Thursday:
lie*ohrd, That this convention here
by most heartily endorses the candida
cy of the grand man, for the councils
of the nation in the senate ol the
United States, the Hon. John. B.
Gordon.
A Bright Idea.
The editor sat on a hard bottom
chair trying to think of a thought, and
lie plunged all his fingers about
through his hair, but not one topic
they brought. He had written on
temperance, tariff and trade, and the
prospects of making a crop, and joked
about ice cream and weak lemonade,
till his readers had told him to stop.
And weary of thinking, sleep came to
his eyes and lie pillowed his head on
the desk, when the thoughts which
awake had rclused to arise, come in
troops that were strong and grotesque.
And as the ideas airily float, he se
lects the bright one of the tribe; and
this is the gem which while dreaming
he wrote: “Now is the time to sub
scribe.—Mattoon Star.

A bunded years ago, when the first
federal census was taken, there were
only eight cities in the United States
which had a population of 8,000 or
over; now there are about 340 cities
of not less than 8,000 inhabitants. In
1790 the entire population numbered
about 3,000,000; now it numbers
about 64,000,000/ In 1790 only one
out of every thirty of the population
lived In citites; in 1810, one out of
every twenty; in 1850, one out of
every eight; in 1870, one out of every
five, and now it is betieved that one
out ot every lour lives in cities.—Ex.
It is said that fifteen republican
senators oppose the force bill. We
hope this is true.
