Discussing the questions oi highway
improvement; the New Orleans Delta
says: 1
Notab’y Illinois and Georgia are
the two states that are making the
most active .efforts to secure good
roads. Both states are organized road
associations and tfce people are be-,
coming enthusiasticmpon the subject
of good roads.
It is to be regretted that the people
of this state do not folly deserve the
praise bestowed on them by our New
Orleans contemporary,. It In true that
several road conventions have been
held in Georgia, that the need tor bet
ter roads has beeu widely discussed in
the local press, and that some interest
has been aroused. But it can hardly
be said that the people have grown'
very enthusiastic on the subject,- and
what enthusiasm thdy have had has so
far resulted only in talk and not in
any definite general movement for the
improvement o! our country highways.
Nevertheless, the/rentillation of the
subject has done good, and its con
tinued discussion will do more. The
fact that Georgia is regarded outside
her own borders as leading the south
ern states in the crusade for better
roads ought to act as an incentive, and
we believe it will—Atlanta Journal.
Cleveland to be Busy-
Lakewood, N. J., Jan. 30.—In
an interview to day with a represen
tative of the Associated Press Presi
dent elect Cleveland said: “The date
now at hand when I most have
more time to myself than I have had
since the election. Thus far most of
my timo has been devoted to inter
views which have been by no means
unpleasant nor unprofitable, but other
things are now pressing upon me
which require my uninterrupted con
sideration. I wish, therefore, you
would say for me through the press
that I shall be at my office in New
York every day with perhaps one
exception,. during the week com
mencing with Jan. 30 and that after
Feb 4,1 shall, remain at Lakewood,
where I hope to be undisturbed in
the work which will imperatively
demand my attention. I also especi
ally desire it to be understood that
from now- until March 4, letters
should bo addressed to me at the Mills
building, New York.”

The Chicago Inter Ocean, as a rule
does not magnify the virtues of demo

Martin, who was recently elected to
the senate from Kansas, a pretty de
cent send-off. It says:
“John Martin, the man whom the
populists of Kansas have elected to
the United States senate, is a died-in-
the-wool democrat who in time past
was a rabid supporter of the priori
pies ot his party. He has been more
or less prominent for years in the poli
tics of the state, and at one time was
talked of as good gubernatorial mate
rial. He is a lawyer oi considerable
though not extraordinary ability, a
speaker of some eloquence, and, all
circumstances taken into account, will
be regarded probably by the people
at large as a fairly satisfactory choice,
some of his party followers believe
him to be a man of brilliant power,
and men of all parties concede bis
honesty.”

Lively Times Ahead in Georgia.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun, dis>
cussing the possibilities in the senato
rial race, has the following:
“If he recovers his health, Senator
Colquitt will hardly resign the prire
without a desperate struggle lo retain
it. Governor Northen’s friends are
already talking to him in connection
with the stnatorship, and while noth
ing has been heard from the governor
on the subject, if it develops tint he
has aspirations in that direction no
body will be surprised. Another
name prominently mentioned is that
of Speaker Crisp. No intimation of
his intentions have been given to the
public, but it is not unlikely that he
would be willing to leave the speaker's
chair ot the fifty third congress for a
seat io the United States senate from
Georgia. If the entries should be
DuBignon, Northen and Crisp, as
some shrewd politicians appear to
think, it will be a battle of giants, and
Georgia will be involved ic a senato
rial cimpaign such as has not been
witnessed in many years.”
Wait until Bacon, DuBignon,
Blount, Turner, Atkinson, Clay,
Black, and a few others enter the race,

Wanamaker’s Stamp.
A great deal of fun is made of
Wanamaker’s new Columbian postage
stamp, which is twice as large as the

might be used by the frosted dudes
for chest protectors. Wanamaker
thinks the government will make a
million and a half dollars on this style
ot stamps from collectors who will buy
them as “souvenirs.” As was well
said upon the floor of congress, this is

To Meet in Augusta.
Some confusion has ensued by
changing the meeting place of the
State Agricultural Society from Co
lumbus to Augusta. Col. Felton has
explained the reason tor the change,
in an interview:
Said Colonel Felton: “The news-
papers have a wrong idea of the en
tire matter. It haB always been
customary for the railroads to grant
free passes to the members of the so
ciety to and from the city where the
annnal convention is held. It is trne
that Columbus was first selected as
the place for holding the convention,
bat on inquiry and investigation it
was learned that the Central road was'
the only line that would give p
Columbus. President Waddell
notified the members of the executive
committtee of the society of this fact,
and asked tkeir opinion about dung
ing the convention from Columbus to
Augusta if the railroads leading in
the latter place would grant free
passes to' members. The committee
authorized President Waddell to do
what he thought best President
Waddell soon learned that all the
railroads leading to Augusta were
willing to grant free passes, and the
change in the placo oi bolding the
convention was then made from Co
lumbus, February 8tb, to Augnsia,
February 15th.”.
Future Electric Railways.
In a recent issue ol the New York
Times we find the following para,
graph:
•Austria announces an electric lo
comotive which is 10 travel ra5 miles
hour. The independence Bicge
follows with the statement that the
North Belgian Company and the
North France Company are construct
ing a line for locomotives operated by
electricity, on which the jouroey Irom
Brussels to Paris, about qne hundred
and ninety-two miles, wilt be accom
plished in eighty minutes—a speed of
nearly one hundred and fifty miles an
hour. It is further stated that the
trains will be running in about two
months.”
Electricity is the coming power;
nay, it has already come, and come to
slay.
Blaine’s Will-
Washington, Jan. 31.—The will
of Mr. Blaine will be probated in
August, Me, which was his legal resi

his property is characteristic of the
confidence he always reposed in his
wife, and which was such a noticeable
feature of the family relations Every
thing is left unreservedly to Mrs.
Blaine; she to be sole executrix of the
instrument, and is not required to
give any bond. Mr. Blaine’s estate,
according lo the estimate of a gentle
man whose relations with him enable
him to speak with correctness, will
amount to about $800,000.

Facts About Hawaii.
Imagine an ocean waste about as
vast in expanse as the whole continent
of North America. Within this area,
north of the equator and between
America and Asia, the Hawaiian
group of eight inhabited islands is the
only land. They are directly in the
track of vessels sailing from our
western ports. They are tho natural
rendezvous lor coal and supplies of
the trading vessels of threo continents
•America, ABia and Australia,
Besides tho harbor at Honolulu, ten
miles away is Pearl Harbor, a for
tified United States naval station,
which by the removal of a coral reef
could by. nudo one of the most spaci
ous harbors in the world. Tho en
trance to This harbor is such that the
trade winds would facilitate the en-
trance and departure of ships under
sail. As a station for submarine
telegraphs to connect the Eastern and
Western Hemispheres, and OS a relay
pert for Atlantic commerce upon the
completion ot the Nicaraguan Canal,
these islands have long claimed special
attention. All travelers agree that
the sun shines upon no more lovely
land; and In overy point of climate
and fertility of production Hawaii
deserves the name of "The Paradise
of the Pacific.”
To this enticing pictnrer there are

leprosy is one. Whether this most
dreadful otall disease be ot climatic
or racial origin soienoe has not yet
determined; arid it does not claim to

almost the only treatment With
rarer exceptions, persons oi northern
birth and lineage do not become
afflicted with it
Another drawback is the large
number of Chinese—14,580 out ot a
total population of 90,000. But this
objection partakes of a political chare
acter, and may, therefore, be left to
the consideration of onr statesmen at

Home Rule.
England is again confronted With
the boms rule issue. Mr. Gladstone
has devised it. Will it pass? Aye;
there’s the rub. It may be squeezed
through parliament under too leader
ship of the “Grand Old Man,” but it
will more than likely strike a snog in
the home of lords.
The Queen’s address at the open
ing of parliament yesterday contained
the following allusion to it:
A bill will be submitted to you on
the earliest available occasion
amend the provisions for the govern
ment of Ireland. - This bill has been
prepared with a desire to afford con
tentment to the Irish people, to afford
relief to parliament and to furnish
additional securities for the strength
and union of the empire."
The Philadelphia Record makes
this-point against compulsory educa.
tion : Those who so strenuously in
sist upon compulsory education might
have a clause inserted in the mar.
riage service to bind married couples
at the autstart to send all the children
they might be blessed with to the
State school^ If it be the duty of the
State to force education upon the
children reared within its limit, it
might as well begin at the beginning.
Parents would then know what they
had to expect; and if they should go
one step further, and ask the State to
feed and clothe jheir progeny, the
reasons that justify compulsory educa.
tion would also justify compulsory
breeches and bread and butter.

who have been inquiring as TO the

Justice Lamar believe that Circuit
Judge Don A. Pardee of New Orleans
has been determined on. It is under
stood from them that the nomination
of Judge Pardee has been made out
at the department of justice by direc
tion of the President, and that unless
the President changes his mind it will

seems to be the selection of Judge Par

Cleveland Non-Communicative.
New York, Jiit. 31.—Pres'dent-

this morning. Several early callers
failed to see him, as lie had no time
to talk. An effort was made to get
from him an expression of opinion
upon tbe question of the proposed
Hawaiian annexation audhis atten
tion was. called to the fact that Com
missioner Castle, from the islands, had
intimated that he believed that Mr.
Cleveland was inclined to regard fa-
vorab'y the proposals Commissioner
Castle brought to this government.
The President-elec’, however, evi

The Savannah Press truthfully and
correctly says:
Send in your contributions to tfce

Macon and Savannah have forward
ed stroog petitions urging the ap
