The Wild Hunt for Office.
The only qn&dioii in regard to Pres
ident Cleveland’s new order iu refer
euce to office-seeking at the While
House is! Why was it not issued
long ago? Disinterested persons who
have observed the daily throngs at
tbe'White House ever since the in
auguration of. President Cleveland
have been surprised at the patience,
good nature and endurance With
which he has ♦need the onslaught.
The President of „the Uuitcd States
has something more important to do
than to listen to‘personal appeals for
office—a fact which.the people whu
beset him do not seem to recognize.
Increasing throngs poor down upon,
the White Houss from every part of
this nation of 65,000,000 inhabitants
at the beginning of every new ad
ministration, because they have been
invited to concentrate there ’ by an
official custom to which every Presi
dent has deferred. At last, the pres
sure has become too great 10 be borne
any longer. Flesh and blood could
not stand it.
Tbe upshot will be that luturc
Presidents will be constrained, with
the growth of the Republic, to trans
fer a large share of the official ap
pointments to the members of the
Cabinet, who would be unfit for their
positions if they coitid not be folly
intrusted with the choice of their
subordinates. Members of the Cabi
net, in turn, would be obliged, in
order to properly discharge their le
gitimate duties, to leave the selection
of the minor officials to the heads oi
bureaus. The power of the President
over official appointments could not
be impaired by any rule that might
be laid down; but be would not often
cheese to interfere with the selections
made by his heads of departments.
By this distribution the pressure upon
the White House would be removed,
much to the scandal of the hunt for
office would disappear, and the effi
ciency of the public service would be
The new invention—the telau’o-
graph—is an instrument that transmits
one’s own handwriting to a distance
by‘means of electricity. * Every motion
of the transmitting pencil is accurate
ly coppied l>y the receiving pen. The
first rough machine was made in-1887.
In 1892 the instrument was perfected.
A common lead pencil is used to^write
the message; near its point are fasten
ed at right;angles two silk cords, which
connecting with the instrument, follow
the motion of the pen and control the
receiving pen at the other end. There
two aluminum arms hold the capillary
glass tube which serves at a pen. It
is Ed with ink through a rubber tube.
This pen is guided by the electrical
impulse from the sender and moves si
multaneously and in like direction and
extent with every motion of the dis
tant pencil so that the ink tracing
which results must be a.- tac-si'u'»le of
what the seuder writes or draws.
The use of the telautograph is read

Your uncle Leonidas Livingston is
hw ear because he was ignored iu
the appointment of the Conyers post
master. He thinks he should have
had a say in the matter especially as
Conyers is practically his home. The
Washington correspondent of the
Atlanta Journal says that the truth
of the matter is Weaver, the man
who was appointed, and others, sent
their applications for the place to Col.
Livingston, and he seemed to have
pigeon-hole 1 them in his pocket and
forgotten them. Mr. Weaver wanted
the office and becoming tired of the
delay withdrew his papers from Col.
Livingston and sent them to Senator
Gordon, who immediately filed and
endorsed them. This endorsement,
added to Governor Northeu’s and
other state officials got Weaver the,
job. The statement that Secretary
Smith took a hand in the affair to
defeat the aims of tbe Congressman
from the fifth is said to be untrue.

DURING A DROUGHT
our lands should be kept free of all
crusts or clods. Some farmers when the
ground becomes hard, will put off plow
ing it until a rain falls. The time to
get rid of this crust is at once; go at it
with any im lenient you may have at
hand, which you can use to the best ad
vantage, but tho harrow is preferred,
because it enables the farmer to cover
thoroughly a largo area in a compara
tively short time. Tho man who defers
this work under the impression that- ft
few days’ do.ay can do no very great
harm, deceives himself, and if there
should be a protracted drought irrepar
able injury to tho crops must result,
with consequent disappointment and
hardship to tho farmer. Often during
a drought the seeds germinato, but from
absence of moisture haven’t the ability
to forco themselves through tho soil. It

having been devoted to food crops.
These crops, including all the small

have been largely increased, and on them
has been applied much of the large

have been used. Many farmers last

THE OLD COTTON TOLICY,
which seeks to produce on credit cotton
with which to buy all farm supplies.
Bitter experience has tanght them that
farm policy which is not self-sustain
ing, is a mistaken and ruinous ono, and
they have wisely decided on a crop
division this year, which, with favor
able seasons, means independence for
them, and more food in Georgia for the
support of man and beast than we
have had for years. These evidences of
a better and more intelligent system of
form economy are apparent to even the
casual observer, and to one who, watch
ing closely tho general drift ot
cult
culture, the improvement is most
marked. An investigation of this sub
ject proves that in proportion au the in
terest in home supplies is lessened, just
so much ia the attraction for home and
homo surroundings relaxed, and this
the profits ones realized from the
crops of an average Georgia farm.
Another reason that the estimato of
the cotton acreage, based on the use of
commercial fertilizers, is erronesus, is
that the

fertilizers, which, in a large majority of
cases, was done, and thus the product
of oil has been greatly increased, the

have received increased tonnage, and
the farmers have an additional source
of income, at a time when most needed.
