BANNER.WATCHMAN,ATHENS. GEOR<
For some time we were very bit-
: Jer and severe against the Piesidept,
or bis snaii-like pace in making re-
movals; but of late our eyes are be
ing opened to the true characte<
and aim of the man, and we art
now an admirer of Mr. Cleveland
and an endorser of his policy. He
is a clear-headed, wi»e and conser
vative executive, and we believe !r
trying to shape his administration
for the good of the whole countn
and 4he honor and advancement of
his party. lie is giving an atten
tion to the business of the govern
ment that must insure to him the
confidence and applause ot the et -
tire country, irrespective of party.
There is nothing so small as to e-
cape his vigilant eye, and he is ex
posing ..nd remedying many grave
abuses. Mr. Cleveland will end
his term with the cleantst record o
any President that ever occupied
the White Home, and anchor the
democratic nariy so firmly in the
coni dence of the country that it
Wdl t e given a long reign of power.
While v\c have denounced and con
demned miry of the President's
acts, time has already vindicated
must of them. Chafing underyeais
of tepubhean misiule and oppres-
s on, the South looked for relief to<

Weight has been raise .until to day
we see but few republican office
holders in the South, and their day:
are numbered. The iiimness ;Tn»
determination of the Piesident must
insure respect and confidence
and redound to the triumph am
honor of the dcmoctatic party. Wi
are always prompt to acknowledgi
an ertor, and are now convinc
ed that the President's policy was a
wise one, and must win in the end.
That Mr. Cleveland will he re-nom
inated and re-elected there is not ?
shadow of doubt.
T11K School. OK TKl'llXOl.O (>Y
Wc are surprised to see such ar
epposition developed to voting as
sistance from the city to the Tech
nological School come fiotn our
working classes, lor if any people
should give the scheme their heat tv
aid and encomagement it is the me
chanics and laborers of Athens. Ii
is their children who will be great
cst benefited, and it is mainly lot
their good that the school will be
established. This city has already
voted $25,000 to the University,
and the sons of our poorer people
do not nap one dollar's benefit
therefrom; but this Technological
School will be literally a working-
man’s institution, and it is to ad
vance and elevate the childien ol
this class that it will be established
Few sons of the tich will can: to
learn mechnnical pursuits, and so
you will see that institution filled
with the children of our laboring
classes, our factory operatives, and
our mechanics, who, while being
educated, will be thoroughly taught
a Hide by which they can t.ot oly
earn a living so soor. as they quit
school, but take a place at the head
of their cStifi. A poor man in Ath
er.s who votes against the appro-
pi iation votes to strangle the ad
vancement of his son, and is an en
emy to his own offspring. What
old Georgia and the South needs
more than anything else is .educat
ed mechanics, and the School of.
Technology is designed to supply
this want. Now, it we want a boss
for a factory, a manager lot a ma
chine shop, or any other head to an
enterprise requiting educated me
chanical skill, vve must import such
a man from the North, where they
FOOUSH THREATS.
In several counties sotr.e of thr
supporlets of Gen. Gordon in the.
iate gubernatorial campaign, so we
are reliably informed, have banded
together tor the purpose of defeat
ing any and every “Bacon man”
that offers for office. These polit
ical cranks will he severely rebuk
ed by the people at the polls, and
should be, too. A friend to Major
Bacon bad just as much right to cx
press his choice as a supporter of
Gen. Gordon, for both candidates
are honest men ar.d democrats, and
Simply because the latter ticket hap
pened to be successful by a surpris-
•ng majority is no reason why a
aige and respectable portion of th.
lemocratic parly of Georgia should
lie pol.tically ostracised and debar
red from holding office. Gen Got
ten is not as y et elected Governor,
and his friends must now rely on
he lute supporters of Major Bacon
to complete their work. Suppost
rhey saw fit and proper to say they
would not vote for Gen. Gordon or
,ny Gordon man! Why, with the
ii.fiiier.ee and strength they could
easily unite with that element of
voters without the pale of democ
racy and yet defeat the nominee ol
the patty. But they are too good
.lemoctats to do this, and have ac-
^eptetj defeat in the tight spirit.
Gen. Gordon to-day has no warmer
upporters than are numbered
Iir.ong the late friends ol A. O. Ba
con. When the democratic party
of Georgia put its seal on a candi
date he that day becomes the candi
date of every democrat in the state.
The contest is over, and any man
that seeks to engender bitterness
by fanning the embers of stiife from
the late gubernatorial campaign is
in enemy to his party or a miser-
ole crank whose head has beer,
turned by a little triumph withii .
the pale of his own party. Had he
a thimble full of sense or patriotism
he wculd recognize the fact that
■ he late gubernatorial campaign was
but a little tilt between brothers,
and the sooner the struggle is for
gotten the better for all concerned
But this threat about disfranchising
from holding office th<
late supporters of Major Bacon,
is but the idle vaporings ol a few
disordered brains, and will die still
born, as it should. The good and
honest democrats who supported
Gen. Goulon are not as yet ready
to accept as leaders a few elated
ools and enthusiastic firebrands.

Washington Is a city of dtMs and guv
dena. One does not have to walk over an
unbroken stretch of bare sidewalk, whose
commonplaceness is only relieved by an
occasional ssb barrel. There is hardly a
house Which haa not a little green before
It, ana a great many of tha
houses of the west end tare beautiful
broad-terraced gardens, with soft gma
turf and misses of gay blossoms and foli
age plants. Everywhere on the streets of
pretty residences the houses are bright
with flowers on the to traces and In win
dow boxes, and the air Is sweet with the
odor of clematis honeysuckle, end jessa
mine.
All this bravery of summer blossoming
and luxuriance of green form an effective
background for the “summer rirl,” ss the
newspapers disrespectfully call her, who
Is. perhaps, nowhere more picturesquely
in evidence than hen. At Bar Harbor
and the Adirondack* the may be a little
mam during ia combinations of oalor,
In gay plaids and stripes for her mountain
suit, and a trifle more audacious In the
matter of hata. for even In Independent
Washington she would hardly appear in
a big shady tun hat of scarlet felt. But
then In Maine or the Adirondack* the
bat not the alternative of transparent lace
and airy muslin which only half hides her
soft, pink arms and throat, and la at once
dean, cool and pretty. When she goes
down town In the morning she abandons
the transparent gown for a eatlneora
seersucker or something else equally cool,
but not quite so pretty: but In the even
ing she soars above conventionality, and
each one wears what seems right In her
own eyes.
TAKING TO THE WATER.
At any one of a score of courts In and
around the elty she may be seen disport
ing herself In white flannel and oomforla-
ble little toque at tennis. Or she arrays
herself in nautical attire and takes to the
water. Half of Washington Is on the
river these warm summer afternoons.
Crowds go down on the excursion steam
ers to Alt. Vernon, to Alexandria, to Nor
folk, to Colonial Beach, and to a dozen
other resorts extending down to salt
water on Chesapeake bay. But up the
river, when It ia narrow and deep and
steamboats do not penetrate, the boat
clubs have their more or less picturesque
quarters, and the rowing and canoeing
goes on. AU the yonng men In town be
long to the •Potomaca," the “Columblas,*
or the “Analostans,” and rowing parties,
little and big, go out In swarms from
their bouses every evening. The Hver is
much prettier np there than It Is lower
down. The bmken outlines of the hills in
the Virginia shore, green In daylight, or
pnrple or shadowy In SwlUght, are lovely,
white on the DUtrlet side the Irregular
gray stone bnlldlngs of Georgetown col
lege, rising clear oat against a sunset sky,
have quite a picturesque effect, and looks
almost medlmvaL
All tha clubs have landings up In tha
woods, where some happy combination of
rocks and splashing waterfalls makes an
attractive picnic spot, and there is hardly
a night when there Is not a large party at
one of the landings, and the Uvely squeak
of the Addle floats down as they dance in
the pavilion. On the water there are aU
sorts of craft—esnoes, with gay Uttle
awnings; tiny shells that Just hold the reg
ulation two, who have to eonduct them
selves with the greatest circumspection if
they don’t want to be capsized; racing
sheUs with four or eight out practicing,
whence you hear constantly tht coxswain's
stem order: “Eyes In the boat!" as the
harp-armed rowers are diverted by the
laughter of some passing boat-load at girls
they know. The long, slim barges are
very like sticks ot cinnamon as you look
down at them from the balcony, but they
carry quite a number of passengers In ef
fective boating dresses, most of which get
pretty weU splashed under the pouring
Niagaras of the aqueduct bridge.
8ITTIXG OS TBK DOORSTEPS.
Up the river it seems as If evqry girl In
Washington was on the water; but when
you go down to the summer opera you
think they must all be there. In that gay
flutter of soft pinks and creams which is
very effective against the dull terra cotta
background of Albaugh's. But if you
chpoee a pleasant, warm evening, when
the moon Is not obtrusively bright, and go
neither to the opera nor to Any other place
of resort, but simply stroll along the
streets, yon wtU decide that all the girls,
without exception, are sitting on their
neighbors’ doorsteps. Kor the doorstep
season has fairly opened: every square is
like the gallery of a theatre, and If you
pass by daylight yon are the object of a
marked and embarrassing attention quite
out of proportion, you are obliged to own,
to the brilliancy of yonr appearance or the
distinction of your manners. From every
doorstep you hear voices and light laugh
ter, and behind every vine you see the
glimmer of a white dress.
Some of the luxrlous ones have low
easy chair* or light rattan ones, with
bright ribbons In them, brought out from
th* house. Many have rugs or mats or
cushions to lend a delusive appearance nf
softness to the etone steps. But one and
all they come out. Fancy work and novels
are abandoned. Through the wide open
windows one can see the dimly-lighted
drawing rooms, and perhaps if there is
more than one girl in the house, n dim
vista of back porch, with a flattering
glimpse of white frock In the distance.
The piano Is dosed, the back parlor sofa
deserted. Gay groups of young girls In
airy summer tints stroll arm in arm up
and down th* street under the deep
shadow of the trees, or perch momentarily
on each other’s terrace steps. Early in th*
evening there Is much visiting back and
forth from one doorstep to another. All
the family come oat, and th* conversation
Is general. But as the evening wears away
one by one the older ones drift into the
house, the conversation becomes less and
less audible, and the moon comes np late
to look inquisitively through th* tree* at
a small but.sdect doorstep party of two,
perhap* a pai^ot two*, on* on the top step
and one on the bottom.—Washington Cor.

WHERE PAUPER’S REST.
The Burials Always Conducted Decently
and la Order^-The Horror*. AH Im-
tarred with th* Poor Bon*#—Nearly
Fifty-Two Thousaad Graves. ,
Much sentimental nonsense has been
written about the horrors of the Potter's
Field. At a matter of faet tbeje Is noth
ing horrible about lt-nothlng, at least he-
yoad the horror whleh the mfnd can con
jure up. If Itts foolish enough to do so, in
connection with death and decay In any
form. The burial ot the poor man or the
unknown Is a matter of burl tires like des
patch, as it most needs be In a great city
where men. women And babes drop by the
way In such vast numbers, but there is
nothing revolting. or Insulting about it.
Thanks to the system of the admirably
conducted department ot charities and
correction, it la done with all due decency
and earn, and, while there it a nat
ural sentiment In favor ot a burial
by; book and bell, with priest and
plumes, weeping Mends and a big
granite shaft commemorating the virtues
of the departed, the poor day can not sleej
any easier or more securely on the high-
priced slopes of Greenwood than it doe*
beside the purling waters of the East
river, under the exqu$tltely green turfol
Hart’s Island. It Is a mistake to suppose
that identity Is lost In the Potter’s Field.
On the contrary It is moet carefully pro
served—by name, it: the name Is known:
by photograph in the case of the
unclaimed dead; andt it is a fact that
bodies are frequently claimed and removed
to more pretentions burying grounds years
after they have first partaken of the free
hospitality of the much-maligned city
cemetery.
Hart’s island is really In Long Island
sound, though in a narrow portion of it
It is one of the prettiest bite of emerald
which the city owns, and which
strung along the necklace of the
East river, are beautiful enough to
make the, virtuous, solvent, sane and
free men of the dty envy the surround
ings of the pauper and criminal classes.
The Island comprises about seventy-five
acres of land, and when the new cribbing
■ Is filled fn then will ho twenty-five acres
more, all of which ispneeded by the over
crowded department Only a third of the
island Is set apart for the potter’s Field.

tion or wharf, are placed In a proper-sized
coffin and trundled away to the morgue or
the dend-bouse, as the case may be. There
the routine Is a fixed one. The unknown
are photographed and fully described In a
proper book, the clothing Beached, rec
orded and stored, and the body placed on
the marble slabs for Identification. Every
thing possible Is done to find the friends
If thore ar* any to be found. In due time
the dead-house Is reached, the bodies are
reooffined, and a gang' of convicts, spe
cially detailed to this'duty, bear them on
board the department steamer Fidelity.
When all tlie coffins have been placed
upon the deck a tarpaulin is placed over
them and the boat starts np the river, not
on the way to horrors certainly. The hor
rors have been left behind—the horrors of
poverty and suffering, the horrors of the
crowded tenement, of making shirts at 30
cents a dozen, of seeking work where none
Is to be found; the horrors ot drunkenness
and vice, the horrors of tbe hospital and
the dissecting-room, the horrors of all the
varied forms of death. These are all be
hind. There is nothing now but a quiet
•all np a beautiful stream and a narrow
resting-place beneath the greenest of sod.
The city hearse on Hart's Island Is not a
hand-ome vehicle, but it Is clean and com
modious. The workhouse people stow the
coffins away in it without any particular
show of reference and off it trundles to the
big cemetery. Numbers are cut in each
coffin corresponding to those in the
records, end then side by side they go, ac
cording to number, into the big trenches.
AU is as systematises a regiment equaliz
ing its companies. Each trench is fifteen
by forty-five feet square and eight feet
deep, aud the coffins are ranged in doable
file, feet to feet, and slanting slightly
downward from the heads. A thin layer
of earth covers each layer of coffin, for
■pace Is precious and their most be three
tiers. 1 hen the earth is graded np on top
and the grass Is sown which will soon
cover up a.l suggestion of the tales of mis
ery wrapped up in the dnst below. SmaU
•tones at each corner of the trenches form
a sort of milestones to the steady en
croachments of the bodies upon the space
In tbe cemetery. The Potters’ Field is as
level as a tennis court. It is covered with
trees and shrubs and traversed by weU-
kept walks—New York World.
The Royal Langtry.
E.'irly the next morning we found the
camping ground about a mile up the road
toward Mirror lake. We pitched our tent
opposite the Royal Arch Fall, under n
huge tree called the Royal Langtry q-v
An Inscription on a board tacked to the
tree conveys th* startUng Information that
upon a certain beautiful midsummer day
not many years ago the famous English
beauty lunched under the spreading
branches and bathed her fair face and
combed her luxuriant hair. But I am told
on the Lest authority that no such brilliant
scene was ever witnessed by this grand
old oak, and the effusive superscription
must have been conceived in the brain of
of some si dent admirer of that much-ad
mired young lady,—Yoeemlte Letter.
Design or a Black Skin.
A writer In Nature thinks the design of
a black skin Is to protect the delicate tis-
tne* beneath. Flesh is very translucent
to a strong light and there Is no doubt that
the rays of a tropical snn would light up
a white man’s considerably, whereas black
•kin would stopont the solar energy of
Ugnt, heat, and chemical rays effectually.
Skin heat-Is of no Importance, as perspir-
ation can always lfeep that down. May
not the oiling of the skin in hot countries
be partly to make it reficctive, so that it
should absorb less heatf And may not the
regard white race* have for clothing be
psrtly for the purpose of keeping the In
sides of their bodies sufficiently in the
dark?
Prearranged Conversation In English.
Some thirty wears ago I was an attache
At our legation at Munich. Old King
Loqis was then alive, although he had
been deposed for making a fool of himself
about Lola Montea I used frequently to
meet him In the streets, when bs always
stopped me to ask bow Queen Victoria
was, I had at hut respectfully to tell him
that her majesty waa not'lu tbe habit of
writing to mo every day respecting her
health. HU son waa then tbe reigning
king. At court receptions he liked to
■bow off bU knowledge of language*. In
order to be quite correct in hU English,
he was accustomed to submit the
observations that he contemplated mak
ing In that language to a professor of Eng
lish. Tbe professor once or twice got Into
difficulty owing to our answers not being
precisely what he had anticipated lathe
prepared conversations. Bo he came to us
and explained the system. After thU the
conversations never encountered a hitch,
for we knew what the king waa to say,
and arranged our answers so as to give
him the cues.—Cor. London Truth. .

EASTERN AND WESTERN RIDERS-
Totaliy Different Styles at the Cowboys
and the Crase-Country Men.
Last spring I had to leave the east lathe
midst otths hunting season to join a
round-up in the cattle country of western
Dakota, and it was curious to compare the
totally different styles of riding of the
cowboys and th* croao-country men. A
stock saddle weighs thirty or forty
pounds. Instead of'ten or fifteen, and
needs an utterly different seat from that
adopted In the cash A cowboy rides with
very long stirrups, sitting forked well
down between hie high pommel and can-
tie, and depend? greatly upon mere bal
ance. In cutting out a steer from a herd,
in sitting a bucking broncho. In stopping
anight stampede of many hundred mad
dened animals, or In the performance ot n
hundred other feats of reckless and dar
ing horsemanship, the cowboy is abso
lutely unequaled; and when he has his
owu,horse gear h* slu his animal with the
ease of a centaur, and yet he la curiously
helpless the Brat time he gets astride one
ot the small eastern saddles.
Last summer, while purchasing cattle
in Iowa, one of my ranch foremen had to
get on an ordinary saddle to ride ont of
town and see a bunch of steers. He is
perhaps the best rider on the ranch, and
will without hesitation monnt and master
beasts that I doubt if the boldest rider In
one of onr eastern hunts would care to
tackle; yet his uneasiness on the new sad
dle was fairly comical At lint he did not
dare to trot, and the least plunge of the
horse bid fair to unseat him, nor did he
begin to get accustomed to the situation
until the very end of the journey. In fact,
the two kinds of riding are so very differ
ent that a man only accustomed to one
feels almost as ill at ease when be first
tries the other as if he had never sat on a
horse’s back before. It is rather funny to
see a man who knows only one kind, and
is conceited enough to think that that is
really the only kind worth knowing, when
first he is brought Into contact with the
other.
Two or three times I have known men
try to follow hounds on stock-saddles,
which are about as Ill-suited for the pur
pose as they well can be; while It is even
more laughable to see some young fellow
from the east or from England, who thinks
he knows entirely too much about horses
to be taught by barbarians, attempt to do
cow-work with his ordinary riding or
hunting rig. Each kind is best in its own
place; and the man only accustomed to
one will at first find himself at a disad
vantage when he tries the other. It must
be said, however, that in nil probability
cowboys would learn to ride well across
country much sooner than the average
cross-country rider would master the dash
ing and peculiar etyle of horsemanship
shown by those whoso life business it Is to
guard the wandering herds of the great
western plains. A cavalry officer trained
at West Point Ls, perhaps, for all-round
work; not unlikely to surpass os a horse
man both cowboy and fux-hunter.—Theo
dore Roosevelt in The Century.
Theodore Roosevelt on Cattle Raising.
Theodore Roosevelt,who owns in Dakota
two of the finest ranches In the United
States, says that while those who are in
the business are still making money the
profits have been greatly reduced of late
years, through competition and the in
creased production that has resulted from
the appearance of new men In cattle rais
ing. As in everything else, the business
is being monopolized by large syndicates
with millions of dollars of capital The
most important consideration, however, is
the constant encroachments which settlers
are making upon the rich lands over which
thousands of cattle roamed at will a tew
years back. Allot the best lands have
been taken up by settlers, and the ranch,
men are being driven farther and farther
away while the poor lands are as yet un
occupied.
It Is thus only a question of time when
'anchlng on the colossal scale of to-day
will be a thing of tbe past. No herds of
tens of thousands of cattle will roam at
will over hundreds of square miles of
prairie land or hilly country, and perhaps
even that hilarious product of American
civilization, the bestrapped and belted
cowboy, will also disappear. A few years
since cattle raising was one of the most
profitable enterprises in which men coaid
engage. Vast fortunes were rapidly ac
cumulated, and even now large profits are
made in it. The breeding of other ani
mals, like hogs and sheep, is now attract
ing much attention, but there is not the
romance about It that attaches to culti
vating the wild steer. One would scarcely
■peak of a hog “rauche.”—New York
Graphic.
Th# Ethics ot Tobseso Smoking.
It is not good for a gentlemen to smoke
in ths public streets. It Is inadmissible if
he is walking with a lady. He may not
smoke if he is in company with his wife,
because the relationship Is known to the
pnbllc, and In the act he shows his want
ot respect. After breakfast the business
man is permitted, upon the railroad or
ferryboat, or avenue car, to finish his
after breakfast cigar. None but Irish la
borers or English gentlemen oversmoke
briarwood pipes or clay dudeens, except
In private. The smell of the cigarette
holder is Inexpressibly nasty, and under
no circumstances will a gentleman ever
smoke cigarettes in n mixed society. The
cigarette should be confined to the smok
ing room or smoking-car, and never under
any circumstances, be indulged in when
ladles are present As an after dinner In
dulgence, smoking is admissible after the
ladles have retired. Cigarettes are useful
because they kill off worthless boys. The
pipe Is a comfort to workiugmeu and a so
lace to old age. Cigars should be regarded
as a luxury, and indulged In by oqly those
who can afford to purchase good ones.
The man who will smoke a bad cigar In
any public place, or where its fumes are
likely to reach any other’s nose than his
own, is no gentleman.—San Francisco
Argonaut.
