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< quickly, and naturally grew impa- t ent at.d irritated when ktp s< 1 ng waiting lor the burthen to be .fte Irom iier. Hut gtadually the 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. Let the dead past bury its dead, and all good democrats now wo kl or the futuic glory and success of the party Secretary Lamar has removed 253 and Secretary Manning 240 re publicans from the classified ser vice in the departments at Wash ington. For a civil service reform administration this is doing tolera bly well, but we will never have complete civil service reform until the last one of them are made to gr.

The General car ried the city by an overwhelming majority in spite of the support of ■11 the Atlanta papers, an I Mr Hammond carried it by an over whelming majority in spite of the opposition of all the Atlanta Daoers, From Isle Royal, in Lake Supe rior, comes reports that its fisher men are suspected of having rifled the bodies of forty victims of the Alg mi- disaster last fall and to avu.d detection sunk the corpse- tar out into the lake.

Bet the Front Doorstop Is |he Temple ed 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. New York Ena How Dr. Holme* Is Worried.

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. FROM HOSPITAL OR TENEMENT. The dead wagon Is a busy vehicle, and the two kept In the service of the city often find themselves some hour* behind the calls, for Old Mortality Walts for no man. Each wagon has an assortment of rough pine coffins, turned out by the city con victs, with a larger percentage Oi chil dren’* size than adult. The bodies gath ered from hospital or tenement, police sta 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.

Design or a Black Skin. A writer In Nature thinks the design of a black skin Is to protect the delicate tis- tne* beneath.

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.
