WELL DONE, GENTLEMEN. ' The House of Representatives did it self proud yesterday by the passage of the Soldier’s Home bill. The passage of the bill carries with a preposition to submit the question to the people of Georgia on the first Wednesday in January next, and on that day Georgians will folly vindicate the action of the House yesterday. It will delight the people of Georgia to say to the world that they are ready, willing and anxious to maintain the in digent Confederate veterans of this great commonwealth. This was a step in the right direction, and will meet the full approbation of the people of Georgia. who desire a redaction of taxation. Yet these as me men who wish their taxes reduced, when they under stand the necessities of the case, had rather pay the tuxes now levied upon them aid secure the benefits to be derived from a just and equitable appropriation of the tax money. They are in favor of granting every aid possible to the schools of Geor gia, and not in favor of redaction of their facilities. They are not against the military of the State. This policy of slashing right and left at all bills that happen to call for an appropriation regardless of the merits of the bills is an unwise THE CALVIN BANK BILL. The Calvin Bank bill is a good one, and is but carrying out the wishes of the people of Georgia. We said in State Convention assembled that we favored the repeal of the ten per cent tax on State banks; the Democratic party at Chicago pat in its' national platform a plank de manding the repeal of this prohibit tory tax, and now that victory has crowned the party all over the Union the time has come for a redemption of this promise. The Calvin bill simply proposes to plaoe Georgia in a position to take advantage of the situation should Congress repeal this prohibitory tax. This bill has been commended by leading financiers of the State, and State Treasurer Hardeman who has handled the finances of Georgia so well for many year9 says it will bring about an admirable banking system. It will be safe and reliable, and bill should pass the General Assem bly and become a law. AN UNWISE POLICY. It is well that the representatives of the people of Georgia in the Gen eral Assembly should carry out the policy of economy. It is good Dem ocratic doctrine to confine the ex penses of government to the needs of the State under a just and economic administration of affairs. It is commendable in legislators to keep a watchful eye upon the State treasury, to see that the tax money is not squandered and to zee that the income of Georgia is not wasted in nselesa appropriations. As Democrats we cannot afford to repu diate the doctrine of economy. Bat at the same time this doctrine can. be carried to an extreme where it becomes absolutely harmful, can so be need as to absolutely s irve the best institutions of a State, and its blighting influences can be m- da apparent on every band. Such is the case in Georgia to-day. The House of Bepresentativea in our judgment is pursuing the retrench ment policy too far, and its evil re sults will be seen if these resolutions and bills become laws. Sacha pol icy, while it will lower the tax rate 'slightly will injure the interests of the State in a great degree. There is more loss than gain in it. We regret to see the movement against higher education ; we regret to see the common school fond cat down ; we regret to see the military appropriation .reduced. O .re riot resulting in loss of life and property wonld mere than cover the thirty thousand dollars refused . the militia of the State, while the children of Georgia will suffer in re gard to their education on account of the reduction of the appropriations to schools. • Think about the question serious- ]y, gentlemen. We know that the ’ of retrenchment is a popular one it it finds favor with those Tot? . / , . Jfifl ! ' ■ ( one. LET THE HOUSE CONCUR- The Senate has stricken the danse from the Widow’s Pension bill shut ting out widows who are worth a homestead, and it wonld be well that the House concur in this action of the Senate. The Senate did not think the pen-* siots could go over sixty dollars per annum, but decided that all widows should be placed on an eqnal foot ing. . < 1 It is a mistake to think that only those widows need assistance who have absolutely nothing of their own There are hundreds of widows of Confederate soldiers who by econo my, hard work, and unceasing effort have managed to purchase them' selves little homes, and yet they are dependent, for the value of a home stead will not yield a living for one widow. We should not placA a discount upon thrift and economy, bnt should deal out our pensions to the widows of Confederate veterans with equit. and justice. It is true that rich widows wil. share these pensions. Let it be left with such ladies to take the money or not as they choose, bat do not cut off those who just barely own a little homestead and have no income with which to maintain themselves A P.ECE OF FORMALITY. President Harrison’s message to Congress was a pare formality, and he wouldn’t have written it at all if he conld have gotten out of it. He had to come to time, however, and the message was written It is not surprising that it shonld be a rather mixed np affair. Ind( ed, the present Chief Executive has not yet entirely recovered from the effects of that earthquake placed under him and his party by the people of America on the 8th of November, and he has hardly found, out what was the mat ter, or where he is at His discussion of the tariff clumsy and ineffective, andirv^was doubtless a terrible doce for, hin defend a principle that has been res pndiated by over a half million ma jority of the people of the Union. The Force bill didn’t receive much attention at the hands of the Presi dent, bnt he delighted to tell of the glorious condition of the country as regards both foreign and domestic affairs. . ,v. to He took occasion to refer to colored people being lynched, for his mes sage wouldn't have been trnly, Har- risonian without such reference And to cap the climax fcs tries to teach the Democrats a lesson on the purity of the ballot. And now yoor work is done, Mr. President. Yon can go ’now and form a partnership with Hr. Hayes and raise chickens the balance of your life.

Why don’t the statesmen at the Cap itol who are always ready to stab the University in the hack, and attack it on the flank, have the courage and honesty to make an open fight against that insti tution? The people if Georgia will take a hand in the business after a while, and when they do, the Univer sity will get the recognition and sup port it deserves.

It is not strange at all that many of his followers have taken him at h s word, and that they are now in reality as desperately in earnest as he has pretended to be It is not strange that they will not allow him to retreat now if he would, and that the fires whieh he kindled for the destruction of his enemies, should imperil his own safety. The threats of his henchmen to lynoh him shonld he falter now and fail to proceed with his revolutionary programme at the critical juncture are |bp logical resnit of his own course.

The Memphis Appeal-Avalanche has the following^ sound editorial on the subject in which a stinging re buke is given the New York Herald: The New York Herald says: “ Those misguided Southerners who object to school histories because the Union soldiers are not called Lincoln hirelings, etc., shonld take notice that it is some time since a Northern newspaper has referred to Jefferson Davis and sour apple trees in the same paragraph. The war is ove r . Hew to the historic line and if the flying chips are likely to hurt just dodge a little.” The Herald is right in its conclusions, but wrong in Us premises. No sane Southerner ob jects to hewing to the historic lin”. What he objects to is the misrepre sentation of bis motives, the failure to do justioe to his valor and the co pious denunciation of the Sooth to bs found in many of the Non hern histones. Take, for instance, a book j< a pnblished by a Northern firm which purports to be a life of Abra ham Lincoln for..children. In thi* book the author tells the child read er that while there were some honest people in the Sonth those who estab lished the Confederacy were very wicked indeed, that they were trai tors—in italics—and all that was despicable. Now, it occurs to ns that the Southerner has the right to protest against filling the minds of Northern ehildren with hatred of this section of the country. Impres siona received in childhood are the hardest to eradicate, and such books as we have mentioned are crimes that no really pabiotio person wonld perpetrate. REAPING THB WHIRLWIND.

These legislators would do well to learn the truth of the matter that the common school system will never reach perfection until the State reverses its present policy towards its higher educational interests. The two systems most go hand in band if either attains success. Among the special publications of the year the forthcoming novel by Mr. W. T.

Savannah News: Speaker Crisp will be re-elected, but he will meet with a good deal of oppo sition unless he gives some assurance that be win moke up ihe leading com- mittei s so that they will more closely rtfl ot the will of the Democratic par ty than the present committees do. In the Democretio papers o£ the north and west evidences of hostility to him are cropping out. It is asserted that the ways and deans committee of this congress is not in entire acc. rd with the policy of the Democratic party with respect to the tariff, and it is pointed oat that the committee on ooinage ie free coinage of silver, instead of the honest dollar cabled for by the national Democratic platform. Savannah Tews: The descriptive word “poppycock” has been going the rounds of the press for some time, doing duty in a dozen different senses. Where it oame from or what its originator intended that it shonld mean, have been veiled in mys tery until a few days ago, when this explanation was forthcoming from New York: “When the anti-snappers or ganized their convention at Syracuse, Commissioner Ridgway declared the anti-snappers were ponpyoooks, and be defined a poppycock as a bird that is all tongue and no talon?, that oonld talk and not fight.” Aocording to this, if the poppycock lived in Georgis, Ora tor Ham wonld call him a snollygoeter. The -differecce la merely a matter of geographioal position. Boston Herald: Mr. Cleveland will be called upon, as the distinct exponent of the Democracy in its national aspeot, to give foroe and effeot to the party wishes as defined in the Chicago platform, and it seems to ns that this can best be done by ad ministrative action, and that a tariff commission would simp’y.delay and embarrass the wished {or work of re form.
