The own er* of each of tt»o«e lots are expectb \ to reap ft fortune from an advance in city real estate. It is to their interest as well as to their necessit | o have them assessed at high speculative figures. Of course, when they return the value of their taxable property to the state and county they must adopt the valuation placed uyon it by the city assessors. Common honesty and a common Interest prompts this valuation on their part. But it is very high, very fictitious, very specula tive and brings about very oppressive taxes. Now these good city property owners reason thus: If we can get the lands and property of the far mers returned at a fictitious and speculative value, and thus place all the taxable property ■ in the state upon a fictitious and speculative ba sis, it will greatly lessen “our burdens.” We will be able to command speculative prices for our prorerty, but the farmer,♦while he pars tax es upon a speculative valuation of his property, will not be able to realize one half that value wheu his property is exposed to sale. This whole project of tax assessors originated iu our larger cities and towns, and it is the old story of the fox that hail his tail cutoff in a steel-trap while depredating upon his neighbor’s proper ty. He saw that his only chance for social respectability was to persuade all foxdom that the “latest fashion” required every fox to have aft. liob-tail. Our clever and enterprising city Wo try also have had (it not their caudal appen- Hgu). certainly their {rockets considerably clip bv tax assessors, and mow their only hope of relief is to persuade the coup try people, the far mers. the land owners that tax assessors is a hi 'lot?,'. One point additional in regard to this city zeal for tax assessors. All the money of the state, he product of onr agricultural industries, is Ix'ffip onto a few of our larger cities. Our corporations, railroad and banking, have estab lished their headquarters there. There is a plethora Of money there, wbila the producers, the wi who do the work, make the 'wealth, are nearly starving and were never before so poor, so depressed, so financially embarrassed. These towns and cities can build hotels costing one million of dollars. T* raise seventy-five thou sand dollars for another public building is only i a “before breakfast” job. They are bubbling over with money, and as the city autocrat, whether capitalist <*r journalist, looks at his protuberant pocket and at the assessed value ol his corner lota, he concludes drat the old far mer who returns his land that does net support him at a taxable valuation of three to live dollars per acre and which would not bring that amount i of money if offered at public outcry for cash, is ! a preferred scoandrel, incapable of swearing to the truth if ha can save a few dollars by swear i :ng to a falsehood, and he therefore must have ! assessors to value his property, with our “oor i aer lets" and our “protuberant pockets” as the I standards of valuation. Their logic is about this way: “We are growing rich, bly, by means which are dark and tricks which are unmentionable), therefore, that old country- j man and iaud-owner is likewise grow’iug rich, and is endeavoring to conceol the fa-t on the i tax books by swearing falsely and we must i •bring mm to law’ by having assessors to value 1 his property.” We confess such logic as this | makes the blood boil in our reins.

Then- may '7 .Vf " i ■i? ■’ r* i ' v i. bis’.iiry at Mu' ‘til, ami thi- change - S ?e deal to Europe am! Mr. Gladstone came into the last time live years ago. It is said Queen Victoria is personally un friendly to him, but the elections of that year forced a conservative policy, and public opinion constrained the offer of the premiership to Mr. Gladstone. The first trouble the latter gentleman encoun tered was the Irish question, that ever reeurringdifficulty in English legislation. Ilis cabinet succeeded in quieting the Irish for a time, but the assassination o r Ltjfd-Gavendish and Secretary Burke, in Dublin, threw everything into confu sion. They were murdered fn Open day light, and ihe feeling was so intense' among the Dish that the government was rendered almost powerless in bring ing the murderers to justice. A war in tne Soudan, in 18S2, had a better ending than the last war with that country, and the British troops were successful. The year ISB3 was quiet, and the opposition improved the time by organizing a strong opposition to the Gladstone ministry, and the year ’B-1 was stormy throughout. The troops were unsuccessful under Wolsely, Gordon perished at Khartoum, Russia set up a quarrel about Afghanistan, Ire land began to growl and mutter, dyna miters struck a telling blow at the House of Commons and the Tower, but under it all and through it all, Gladstone fought his way, until the ministry sought to raise additional revenue by an extra tax on beer, and that “straw broke the cam el’s back.” The opposition to Gladstone united with the Irish Parnellites, and with the disgruntled crowd in Glad stone's ranks, and defeat overcame the gallant old statesman. In England the ministry is always in accord with the majority. In America, the president and cabinet can be of diverse polities from both Houses of Congress and yet worry along, lighting fol’ power step by step, but not so in the British Parliament. Whenever the ministry fails to carry a measure, that brings a resignation as a sequence and the dissenters are then put in control until they in turn are de feated. The effect of this crisis on Rus sia may be serious, and the Irish in America are said to he jubilant over the present status of tiie Irish question. With this outlook it is evident that the incoming ministry will have its hands full to lead the government to a satis factory solution of all its difficult prob lems of war and finance. The most alarming feature lies in prominence that the disaffected Irish give to rhe suc cess of dynamite. They boldly proclaim the belief tiiat dynamite lias wrought the change, and judging the future hy the past, this volatile, incautious, impoli tic race, will forthwith attempt to repeat the dose and thereby cripple their cause and Injure their well-wishing statesmen in a patriotic effort to relieve their pres ent unhappy condition. The times are ominous, and as some shrewd observer remarked, “the unexpected always hap pens.” Another of Collector Crenshaw’s dep uties, Representative X. B. Cash, of Jackson county, refuses, like Mr. Fite, of Bartow, to resign his seat in the leg islature. It is probable that their right to retain their seats will be investigated when the legislature meets.—Rome Courier. A Richmond woman sent a bouquet to Cluverius in prison.

We do need to get down from these stilts and tc farm strictly on business principles. We need the understanding, the prudence, the judgment and the common sense to know that borrowed money or supplies bought with “promises to pay,” are not the capital that will make us or this country pros perous. Let us look the situation square ly in the face and get down to hard-pan, in these farming ventures, or quit the business. We need, again, some way to.reconcile the unfairness that prevails between the farmer and the outside world. As neigh bor Bili Arp sagely remarked in a late letter, “How is it, the man who makes the stuff is so poor, and remains so poor, while the man who hands it over to the consumer gsts so rich, and remains so rich,”'or words to that effect. We do need to understand and remedy this difficulty. Just go to Atlanta and see how money flows out at every public call, while there is one universal groan of poverty all over this broad land in the rural districts. What does it mean, and where is the remedy ? In our opinion, we need less law making and less litigation about as much as we need anything else in this •life. How is it that a man with eight, ten, or twenty thousand dollars invested in land, and who tries year after year to make a living by the soil, is kept so straitened, when the lawyers and pro fessional people who have nothing in vested but theii brains and bodies can live much better, dress much better, and have time and leisure to go out and en joy themselves without worry or vexa tion? What does it mean/ It is ob vious that there is much more money in one investment than the other, and it is not clear that one has all the brains and the other none. Now, this is no fancy sketch, and means a great deal. Who will explain the remedy? We do need to know and examine into our own business and its relations to other businesses and profes sions. Charles Wallace Howard, Esq., gave an illustration some years before his death, in a public speech, that we have never forgotten. He said the great binning class of this country reminded him of the great big elephant at the cir cus. The enormous beast had weight and strength enough in one foot to crush out any adversary that might at tack him, but the poor fool allowed itself to be led arour d by every little keeper that undertook the task. The elephant would lie down, kneel down, squirt water, or throw apples at the bid ding of the dapper little keeper who wielded only a rod to punish the mighty beast. Just so with the farmer. With the source of all wealth absolutely in his grasp, he lies down, gets up, live* hard, and dies everlastingly poor, at the bidding of those who have not a tithe of his strength, power or capacity for heavy ! work.

POLITICAL BCUBCGGSRY. 'Hie tight for ISBS has begun in Oliio, with the late nomination of Judge Fora ker on the republican ticket for gover nor. That the tight will be bitter and protracted there is no doubt. But if all the republican nominations start out wiih such shallow reasons for opposition to democracy as the late convention in Ohio, the impolicy of the republicans " ill defeat their own ticket everywhere. Mr. i tylor, a M. C., the successor to Garlield in tiie house of representatives, used these words in the convention: "Both labor and capital are being driven into bankruptcy and ruin under demo cratic rule.” Now, what are the facts? President Cleveland has been in office Ohree months, and nearly every office holder in the United States through HLom the business of the country has rbeen carried on for that time is yet a re publican. The south was never more quiet and tractable, and we wager there have not been fewer strikes and labor riots at any time in the last decade than during these three months. Labor has had no showing since the powerful syn dicates in the north and west banded to gether many years ago, under the foster ing care of Mr. Taylor’s party. When you recollect the Credit Mobelier knaves, the Sanborn frauds, the steamship sub sidy swindles, the Star Route thieves and the many other schemes in which their leaders proved themselves “useful” and in which they “cast an anchor to the wtndvvard,” it is the height of im pudence and untruthfulness to make such a statement as the one here alluded to. The democracy may fail, but the country at this time is suffering from a plethora of % knaves, who put in good work' for themselves twenty years before the democracy got a ding at either labor or capital, as a controlling party. This sort of stulf may do to till up a speech with, when the orator is about “out of soap,” but it is folly to expect the coun try to swallow it or believe it. Mr. Cleveland is under trial, it is true, but it would be hard to picture a more deplor able crisis than the one which preceded his entry into official power. It takes a sick man some time to recover under good and skillful treatment, and the business of the country, so far as it con cerned both labor and capital, was in a very bad way when he took the patient in charge. If it should be a tedious con valescence, it will grow out of the fact that the republican party openly sold and delivered itself into the hands of a candi date, who unblushingly used his public offices for private gain, and who never touched a legislative act or advocated a national measure, unless it covered a fat job or a full purse for himself. Fray, what showing would ither labor or cap ital have had under James G. Blaine? The democrats have not been remarkable for sagacious prudence since the war, but the demand of the time and the hour is simple official honesty, and labor and capital left themselves ask no other platform or policy. At any rate, it will become Mr. Taylor’s party to talk less of loss and bankruptcy until the people are able to forget what they have already suffered under republican rule and ruin. TIIE DIRTY CAPITOL AGAIN. Atlanta Cor. Macon Telegraph. Within a few weeks now—the first Wednes day in July—the Georgia legislslure will con vene for the adjourned session. Much is uxpect ed of this distinguished body at this session, and it is importont that their surroundings be health ful, if not particularly pleasant. Being each and all Georgia statesmen, their health and lives are of great interest to the state. The building, however, where they are to meet, called the capitol, is getting td"be ragged and dirty. It is a trial and a danger to go through the halls and corridors of the building. The dark halls are covered with heavy, dirty, dark, ragged mat tinsr; the furniture is dilapidated, and every thing, except in a few of the departments, where decency, health and necessity demanded a certain ainountof refurnishing. This condi tion of things must be apparent every day to the governor and to Colonel John A. Stephens, the keeper of public buildings. It would seem eminently proper that there should be some im provement m the condition of the building be fore the legislature assembles, for sanitary rea sons, if no other. The senate chamber and the hall of representatives, connecting rooms, and corridors, at least ought to be thoroughly over hauled, cleansed anil refurnished. This would appear to be one of the chief duties of the keeper of public buildings until it is accomplished. The state ought to be able to keep her headquar ters in decent repair, and that mucli is expected of the administration. Aside from the dirt apd filth that has collected in and under the old matting it is not pleasant for visitors going through the capitol to stviniblo on the ragged llooring and fall. They arc uat apt to carry away witii them impressions either creditable to the state or to the administration. There is money in the treasury for this purpose. If there is uot sulfieient, it is an exigency that would justify the governor in negotiating a temporary loan. It will be a good investment for the state, ami may possibly have a wholesome, beneficial effect on the assembled wisdom which is to make laws for us, and tinker with those we have during the common hot months. We are glad to see the above. The OouiiANT was the lirst paper to sound the note of alarm, but it has begun tc he echoed all around and about the state since that time. This matter is imperative and we hope there will be no delay. The writer is satisfied that the unpleasant surround ings, tho poor ventilation and the filth, made many a member suffer last winter, and to our positive knowledge it made one visitor very sick, so there is a good reason for an attempt at improvement. At every session for several years past the health of delicate members has been greatly impaired, and as the evil grows constantly worse and never better, it is high time there was a change betore the July session. A Murder Mystery. Chattanooga, June 9. —Tne South ern Detective Association has discovered a clue to a horrible murder committed in this city five years ago. A wealthy Georgian came to this city with a large sum of money on his per son. While intoxicated he went into a low dive, on Market street, about mid night. He was robbed of his money and murdered with clubs and knives by loaf ers, To dispose of the corpse it was weighted with stones and thrown into a vault, and a barrel of lime was thrown into the vault to keep the odor from aris ing. The saloon keeper, his wife and two sons witnessed the tragedy. The woman and husband have died, but the sons are living and doing business in this city. One of the boys, while drunk, gave the matter away.—Augusta Chronicle. AN UN CO RTUXAT K WRANGLE. Savannah Times. A very unfortunate wrangle has sprung up between Rev. 11. 11. Tucker, editor of the Christian Index in Atlanta, a Baptist journal, and Rev. Da. Munhall, secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Association of Indiana, who had been telegraphed to come down and conduct the revival now going on m that city. I tie trouble grew out of an article in the Index in which the editor objected to the revival being carried on in a warehouse instead of the churches, and also to the peculiar methods of Dr. Munhall and his associates, whom he characterizes as “professional revivalists.” In reference to this, Dr. Munhall at a meeting a night or two ago, called upon his eounregation to pay for the soul of l>r. Tucker, and la ter on one of his assistants exhorted his hearers all to devote a few moments each night before going to bed to prayer for that gentleman. This conduct was exceedingly repre hensible, lor it is calculated not only to bring the work of the revivalists into ridicule, but also to give scoffers a chance to laugh. Dr. Tucker is a gentleman who has been engaged in religious work lor many years and has the respect, so far as we know, of the great body of his co-rellgionists. lie is therefore, no doubt, as fully competent to pray for himself as are those who so ostentatious ly request prayers for him, and the call ing an upon an excited and wrought up congregation to pray for him, because he ban conscientiously expressed his disap proval of the plans and methods of the revivalist, certainly has about it the fla vor hypocrisy. It is very much like the conduct of Bishop Simpson in Washing ton during the Andrew Johnson im peachment. trial, who, when he heard that Senator Waitman T. Willey, of West Virginia, was inclined to vote again the republicans and against im peachment, wrote to some of the pie idl ers of that state to “come down and pray with Brother Willey.” Dr. Tucker does not believe that being wrought up to a high state of expite ment is the proper way to effect the saving of souls. 110 takes the ground that when sueii means arc resorted to there necessarily follows a reaction, and a time of great religious coldness and sloth, and many who make loud professions in time of excitement are ashamed of it when their blood gets cool. lie believes that the good work can be more effectually carried on by regular pastors and by steady labor than by “professional re vivalists, who make their living by rais ing popular excitements, an easy thing to do.” In this Dr. Tucker has both the precedent and Scripture, for it is well known that a reaction always naturally follows any undue excitement, while St. Paul especially exhorts Timothy not to strive, but be gentle to all men and pa tient, instructing his hearers in meek ness. But while I)r. Tucker evidently has right on his side, and while it was very wrong in those conducting the revival to have attempted to bring him into disre pute by intimating that ho was on the broad road to the old-fashioned hell, and needed prayers because he was rash enough to differ with them, it is very unfortunate that the controversy has arisen. The work of saving souls is so tremendous and important that any agency which can bringptbout the salva tion of single sinner should be encouraged. Let Dr. Tucker perform this high mission then in his own way and. Dr. Munhall in his way. Brothers should dwell together in unity, and not engage in bitter controversy, which runs the risk of converting what should be a work of love and peace into a religious Babel. STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION. Meeting with Mr. W. G. Whidby, the secretary of the Ceorgia Temperance As sociation, who has been identified with the temperance movement in Georgia since 1845, a reporter ol the Atlanta Journal asked him what he thought of the late State Temperance Convention held in that city, lie responded that he was gratified at the attendance and the spirit of the convention. There were over 150 delegates present. Every con gressional district was represented. The reports from the counties enjoying the benefits of prohibition laws were highly encouraging. Other counties are prepar ing to join the grand army of reform, and the good work goes on. “What was said or done with reference to bringing out candidates for governor and oilier officers?” we enquired. We decided emphasis he replied, “noth ing!” There was not the slightest incli nation in that direction. Oil the con trary, the convention was a unit, and their resolutions emphasize their senti ments in theuneqiivocai and hearty sup poit of the Georgia plati'—that is keeping the temperance question aloof from poli tics —and fighting a square battle on the naked issue of whisky or no .whisky. The resolution unanimously adopted is plain, it declares, “That tins conven tion composed of representatives of the people of this State, without regard to denomination or party, do hereby earn estly urge upon the General Assembly of the State the enactment at tl*e next July session of a general local option law ttn- \ der the provisions of which the people of each county and municipality in i which entire prohibition lias not been al ready adopted, rnay vote upon the qties tioh whether the liquor traffic shall be li- censed within their limits or not, and uuder which the election held upon this question shall be separated from any oth er election whatever. That in thus seek ing to submit the question of prohibition to the voters of thastate upon that ques tion only, and in elections in which no cannidatee are voted for, we are earnest ly endeavoring to keep the question out of state and party politics. *We are not afraid to submit the question to the peo ple upon its merits, and we insist that under our form and system of govern ment, the people have the right to deter mine it for themselves.” “Do you think the convention will prove beneficial ?” “Certainly. It unified sentiment and will concentrate and stimulate efibrt in all perts of the state. The fight has just begun.” CLEVELAND’S C.AUI’IAf ; N. Y. World.
