The appointment of Emory Bpeer as

several of the cities and towns, called
meetings and passed resolutions protest
ing against his confirmation by the sen
ate, and asking the Georgia senators to
use all means in their power to prevent
it. In the event he is confirmed, we can
only hope that his inordinate ambition for
promotion will cause him to attempt to
redeem in the estimation of his
countrymen by honestly and impartially
administering the sacred functions of the
responsible office to which he has been
appointed. That Emory Speer has the
capacity to make an able judge, those who

OAKLAND AND THE CABINET
Senator Garland speaks as follows to
his fellow senators concerning his recent
visit to the President-elect:
“I had formed my opinions of Governor
Cleveland from the press. I had never
seen him. When I went to Albany I ex
pected to find a man of gross habit and
limited space, but I found a dignity and
majesty of person which impressed me at
once. I found a grace and affability of
manner which soon placed me at case. I
found a minrbcapable of grasping the most
complicated questions of public policy and
the closest details of administration. I
found a broadness of views, a determina
tion to do right, a range of conservatism
which satisfied my mind that there was a
higher dispensation in the nomination and
election of Grover Cleveland than was
realized at the time."
To another senator, explaining the po
litical policy of the President-elect, Mr.
Garland said: “His idea is not the reha
bilitation of the old democratic pajty,asort
of furnishing up of the old machinery for
new uses. On the contrary, Mr. Cleve
land proposes to organize anew party —
not a democratic party nor a republican
party, but a party founded on democratic
principles as enunciated hy the convention
of 1884, in their letter and spirit, and not
according to the obsolete doctrines of the
paßt; and he asks the co-operation of all
good citizens, north or south,east or west,
in placing the nation on a higher plane of
politics and public duty.”
THE CABINET MATERIAL.
To another senator, speaking of the cab
inet, he said: “As far as I am able to make
my own conclusions from a personal
knowledge of facts, the next administra
tion, so far as the cabinet is concerned,
will be composed of four distinctly repre
sentative men of the four great sections of
the country geographieally-'-that is, the
north, south, east and west, and the re
maining places will be filled according to
the emergencies which may arise at the
moment. The choice of names, or rather
the selections, w ill be made from a list
carefully prepared. But no republicans
will be appointed to the cabinet. The
democrats sajeejed for those places will be
chosen with particular ce to their
progressive and liberal views in the line of
the reconstructive and rejuvenating pro
cess which Mr. Cleveland has in view.”
To a republican senator he said: “The
President-elect does not ignore the great
service rendered to the democratic party
by £ large body of republicans, and in
some appropriate way that will be rocog
nized.’’ >
AS TO THE OFFICES.
To another senator he said of the offi
ces: “Mr. Cleveland’s idea is to act slow
ly and deliberately in the dispensation of
public patronage. He will, of course, ap
point his cabinet, and as its members will
have been with reference to their
indorsement of his own yiews in such
matters he will expect the general policy
of the administration to be carried out
without further direction from him. There
will be no disagreements. It is correct
that, as a general rule, officers will be al
lowed to serve out the terms of their com
missions.”
In speaking of the senate he said: “The
President-elect made particular inquiries
as to the temper of the republicans of the
senate. He has no desire to antagonize
them. He seeks for harmony and co-op
eration.”
The general effeoi of Senator Garland’s
interview's with the loaders of the senate
has been most advantageous all around.
It has set at rest any clashing of conflict
ing interests in his own party and has
kindled a very kindly feeling among the
republicans, who are willing to give the
new President a fair chance to carry out
his plans as they now understand them.
Senator Garland has shown himself not
only a careful leader, but an adroit and sa
gacious counselor.

EDUCATED MECHANICS.
The successful and valuable mechanic
who is always in good demand at good
pay is he who thinks as well as works.
Seeing, feeling and hearing are the three
senses of all others with which we are en
dowed. The most important in aiding to
a knowledge of our surroundings, and
while this is a truth that all admit, yet
their education is generally neglected un
til the young man starts out to learn a
trade, for by mechanics in this connection
is intended to convey the idea of attempt
ing to contrive, to put together, manufac
ture, or change by manipulation so that
even a woman who fashions a dress out ot
the unfavored and plain material is just as
much a mechanic, so far as it goes, as the
machinist who with the rough, ungainly
stone makes the sparkling gem or the
beautiful tool from the sombre bit of iron
ore. The use of mechanical tools cannot
begin too early in life; it makes no differ
ence whether the pupil is to be a practical
mechanic or to follow some other calling.
There are few if any vocations that do not
demand for success some practical knowl
edge of mechanics. “The whittling Yan
kees” probably owe much of their success
and undisputed position as inventors and
good mechanics to the habit of using a
pocket knife. Avery prominent inventor
and superior mechanic recently remarked
that the best of his taste as a mechanic
was undoubtedly given by the school-mas
ter of his youth. This teacher was a car
penter and a joiner, working at his trade
in summer and teaching in winter. If
the boy did not own a foot rule he made
one for him out of a bit of shingle, and so
accurate was the eye-measurement that
he could mark off the inches and fractions
that a square would fail to show any mis
takes. In those days this teacher consid
ered the foot rule and pocket-knife as in
dispensable as the slate, hence he permit
ted his pupils to own them, and to meas
ure distances with the eye, subsequently
verifying by means of the rule.
Wind wheels and water wheels were
considered a part of the pedagogue’s train
ing, and the click-clack of one or the other
could be heard all about the school house
and on the borders of a brook in an ad
joining field. At this day and age we
need more carpenter school masters, less
of technology. A knowledge of mechan
ics ana mechanical movements ia of more
Use as well as ornament in a business
training than an intimate knowledge of
the definite article or Greek verb. The
man who talks learnedly of languages
dead ere we w T ere born may derive satis
faction from hearing himself talk, but the
man whether clothed in broadcloth or
jeans, if lie gan explain the mysteries of
the unseen, is always a welcome guest in
any society.
These remarks apply with all their force
to females as well. What man who lives
would compare a well-cooked meal and
tidy wife to a welcome home by a slattern,
who asks him in some foreign jargon, what
he wants for supper?

Gergiji Divorce Oases.
The divorce laws of this State are
very liberal—almost as liberal, in fact, as
those in Illinois. This, the people of
other States, as well as our own people,
appear to be finding cut. The number
of divorce cases has increased very
greatly within the laat year or two. One
great advantage that a Georgia divorce
has over an Illinois divorce is that no one
ever thinks of questioning its validity.
It is therefore very much more desirable.
The juries which pass upon divorce
cases seldom go deeply into the facts.
They are rather inclined to accept the
statements of the attorneys and follow
their advice. We are not desirous
of encouraging the divoroe business, but
we cannot very well afford to let the
lapid increase in this business in our
State pass unnoticed. It is doubtful if
the home appreciation of our divorce
laws is equal to that which exists out
side of our bordem. The increasing
number of short period settlers is posi
tive proof that Georgia divorces are
rapidly acquiring a reputation. Of
course this ought to bring joy to the
hearts of our lawyers because it means
so much cash to them. Care should be
taken to keep up the standard of the
Georgia divorces. If the impression
gets abroad that they are worth no more
than the cheap affairs to be secured in
some of the Western States the demand
for them will fall off rapidly. The in.
crease in the number of local divorces is
worth noticing. Iu all the counties li
bels for divorce are not now uncommon.
Even in this inoral and conservative
city the number of divorce cases is be
ginning to attract attention. It is not
unusual for several divorce decrees to be
made at the same term. The law re
quires publication of the application in a
newspaper, and, of course, the paper
least read is preferred. Hence such pub
lications seldom appear in the Morning
News. Quite a large amdbnt in fees has
been paid iu this city in divorce and
alimony cases, but the business has
never been worked for all that can be
made out of it. A good Chicago divorce
lawyer, who would make a specialty oi
divorces, while he might not rise to hon
orable fame, would almost certainly ac
cumulate a fortune if he should establish
himself in any prominent Georgia city.

New Orleans Pic:s,yync t % j,
Mr. Mathias Doll, business place No.
S3 North Peters street, residence Royal
street, between Jeanne and Bartholomew,
New Orleans, has been a mast intense
sufferer from kidney trouble (diabetes) for
the last six long and weary year§.
said to us: “ Even earlier than that f 'fre
quently suffered from pain in the back,
and frequent making of water, but gave it
no thought until about the time stated,
when the almost constant desire to make
water became unendurable. The pain in
the back, and sometimes in the legs, madq
me so lame at times that I could sca*oely
walk, - J consulted one of the best doctors
in this city, and wa3 under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de
riving the least benefit. I then consulted
from time to time, during the last five or
6ix years, six other physicians, each one
standing in the front rank of the medical
profession in New Orleans, and though I
sometimes was a little relieved of some
excruciating suffering, j-et upon the whole
I was not onlv no better, but in many re
spects much worse. My limbs became so
swollen and sore that I could not cross
my legs when sitting on a chair—-all of
which, they said, was caused bv diabetes.
I then tried some highly lauded patent
medicine. But they aTI turned out to be
humbugs. * I had given up all hopes of
ever getting relief, much less being cured,
when I noticed in the papers some won
derlul cures that Pfcruna had made in
this city, as prescribed by Dr. Hartman,
giving the name and address of each per
son treated. I called to. see him; he at
once prescribed his Pbruna, which is not
over three weeks, ago. I am so much
better that if I would
more, J would not tor any amount that I
had not placed myself under his treat
ment. All my pain and lameness is gone.
The swelling and stiffness in mv legs has
disappeared, and instead of making water
every fifteen minutes, I now make it once
in three hours during the day, and only
twice in a whole night. I am, indeed,
quite well again, Don’t be*it4ta, don*t
say humbug, but get the Peruna at once
and take it as its printed label directs, or,
if you think this is only an advertisement,
and not strictly true, call and see me and
see for yourself.”
Mrs. Huldah Riple, Smethport, Mc-
Kean county, Pa., writes: “ Dr. S. B.
Hartman, & Cos., Columbus, O. I have
used your Pkruna and it has done me a
great deal of good. Have recommended ft
to many of my friends, who have since ex
pressed themselves as wonderfully pleased
frith Its virtues.” •, -
