Hi* Character and Platiorm
Would notComrrand Strength
In Th® National Field.
Mr. Hill has no real strength in
Georgia, There are, of course, s
considerable number of people who
believe he should be nommated,—
not because they prefer him over
others or regard him as a represen¬
tative Democrat, but because they
have become convincod that he is
more apt to carry New York than
any other candidate. Nothing in
the man’s character or in the prin¬
ciples which he represents recom'
mends him, but they put a high es»
timate—an exaggerated one, we
think—on the power of the political
machine which Mr. Hill controls.
If he were without that machine,
nobody would think of him as a pos-
tible candidate.
It is natural, perhaps, in view of
the successes Mr. Hill has won in
his own state, that those Democrats
t/> whom the election of a Demo*
cratic president means only a change
m llio offiies should over-estimate
his strength and ins ability. He is
certainty a very shrewd politician,
but there is plenty of reason to
doubt whether the methods which
have proved successful in New
York can be employed in the ua-
tional field. If they should fail Mr.
Hill would be beaten, in s^itt oi
of the advantage of position which
the Democratic party holds, for the
reason that there is nothing in him,
his record or in the platform which
ho would insist upon making foi
himself to arouse the enthusiasm
of the party or to attract undecided
voter*. There are some indications
that even Mr. Hill begins to doubt
whether his msthgds can be applied
successfully m the national field.
The result of the election, of 1883
has always been cited by Mr. Hilda
friends as conclusive proof of his
surpassing strength ia New York.
He was elected by a large majority
while Mr. Cleveland was defeated
by au even larger one. This great
discrepancy in the vote for the
Democratic candidates for president
and governor, it was explained, was
not due to treachery on the pan ot
Mr. Hill, but to tbe fact tnat he re¬
ceived the solid support of the li¬
quor men of the state, without re¬
gard to party. Their vote was giv¬
en to him out of gratitude for rite
stuboornuess with whica he had
prevented a reform of the excise
laws by the use of the veto powei.
The explanation seemed a reason¬
able one, but now it is in danger oi
being knocked to pieces. » hat

New York is an element of weakness

The support which Mr. Hill re-
ceives in Georgia ts based on the
belie! that it would be expedient to

when it becomes apparent that an*

February 22.
February 22nd promises to be an
eventful day for the Democratic par.
ty. Mr. Bill’s New York conven*
ti 'u w '1 meet that day and be follow¬
ed, piobabiy, by a faction flglu that
will seriously haudicap the party in
the ensuing election, if either of the
rival candidates is nominated by the
national convention. On the same
day the Alliance conference will
meet in St. Louis, for the purpose
of giving the endorsement of the
der to the third party. Then the
Democratic party will be forced for
ihe first time in years, to fight for
victory m the Southern States. In
these states^ as in New York, the
snuggle and the resulting hard feel¬
ing will be between m n, who, in
lormer campaigns,stood side by side
in support Of the Democratic ticket.
Thu division in New Yoik springs
from the improper use of the ma¬
chinery o. the party to gratify the
ambition of one man. ic need not
be fatal. The national convention
is not bound to take part iu the fight
aud can do much to alHy the bitter
feeling which may be exulted bj
naming a candidate accepuole to
both tactions. B the victor in the
local fight is nominated ihere is
i
every reason to believe that he will
be defeated by the enemies he has
made. By the tune the convention
meets uu overwhelming majority Oi
the delegates will probably have be-
come convinced that tbe party can¬
not afford to fight the local en lines

FARM PAYS BETTER

Southern Farm.
Since the great scarcity of eggs
and poultry in our maraeis and the
consequent high prices ruling, we
are often met with an exclamation
from city folks as to ‘why the far*
mers who complain of hard times,
etc., do not devote more of their
time to' raising poultry and eggs for
market.’
We have ourselves preached and
written on this subject for the past
ten years, and we think with some
effect, judging by observation m
our tours through the country and
also by our daily increasing corres¬
pondence with farmers on the sub¬
ject.
The truth is our farmers h ive for
the past year, and several years
back, been giving more and more at*
tent ion to this much neglected but
profitable branch of farming. But
it seems that our cities are growing
to population so rapidly that the
supply does not meet the yearly in*
creasing demand and read er sale
for this special product. So there
is yet room for more of our farmers
to try their hand at raising a prod¬
uct for which thore ever was and
ever will be ready demand at pay¬
ing prices. The writer finds by ac¬
tual account that it costs 8 to 10
cents each to hatch and rear broiler*
to an age of 10 to 12 weeks old,and
finds ready sale in the Atlanta mar*
ket at 40 to 00 cents each during
March, 30 to 50 cents during April
and 20 to 30 cents each for other
months. We have had merchants
offer to contract for 500 broilers per
day at market prices during March
and April. Eggs have sold during
this winter as high as 35 cents per
dozen and dressed fowls at 17 ls2
cents per pound. With these facts
before them there are many farmer s
who continue to grow cotton exclu*
sively for a price almost below cost
of production. There are many,how*
ever, who have made a change from
this mode of farming, and many
others are seeking to ra&ke a change,

Owiug to the scarcity of heus,

It is remarkable that with the major¬

not in mere strength inferior to the
right. We have heard truly right hand¬
ed people actually declare that their left
hand is the stronger, and from the
writer’s own experience he knows this
to be the case. This may be from the
mechanical advantage and better bal¬
ance of the body, the right side being
heavier, or it may he due to the large
muscles of the unused arm being less
hampered by the development of other
muscles. It is difficult in these cases to
say which is the “right” hand, for the
fact that the unused arm is the

can not be more literally described
than in the concise ilhterative of the
heading hereunto appended
I am not a farmer by dependence,

nor an office seeker, nor any of that
forlorn class who can find consola*
tion in blaming the balance of man¬

Bat for the serious situation which

the farmers as a prerogative to a
harsh criticism of their worthless¬
ness and dishonesty, satire loses the
force of its c.iustic combination.
And when I see any movement of
people whose only incentive can be

the farmers in a pot pouri ot advice
and condemnation, it strikes me as
evidence that the world is yet un*

When some forlorn hope bubbles
into ecstatic sympathy for the mis¬

of its woefulness sticks to my aching

“Yes, indeed! Now notice the girl

Bee nothing special about her, but I can
tell that she is a convent bred girl.”
“How can you tell that?”
“By the way she holds her feet on the
floor. \*oii notice her left foot is set
squarely down. The right one is at an
angle to the left, and with the heel
placed midway between the left heel and
toe. Convent girls are always trained
to sit with their feet that way. Now,
I’d be willing to wager my week’s allow¬
ance that if you spoke to her she would
open her eyes and say, ‘If you please,’
with a rising inflection, meaning, in
plain English, ‘What is it?* ”
“I’ll speak to her,” replied the wom¬
an’s companion, “and see if you are
right.”
Then she turned to the convent bred
girl and asked:
“I beg your pardon, but if yon are ac¬

A LESSON OF LIFE.
A long day’s journey there lay before
I crossed the meadow at breaking morn;
I saw the road wind by hill and moor—
Beyond the hills was my distent bourne.
I thought of the greetings I should win—
What was it moaned at my feet meanwhile?
A poor old terrier, lame and tbini
I stooped and helped him over the stile.
Then would have crossed; but a dreary yelp
Arrested me, and I turned, to view
A limping poodle, whose need of help
Was manifest; and I helped him, too.
Of every nation and tribe are they,
And each has a fresh, resistless wile;
Each says in his own peculiar way,
“Just help a lamedog over the stile!”
they’re greyhound, Skye, Pomeranian;
They limp along in an endless file;
They’re smooth or curly, they're black and
tan.
They all are lame and would cross the stile.
The shadows deepen o’er hill and glen,
Dim is my pathway of many a mile—

The last lame dog is over the stile.

Sun, Are the Disturbing Factor*— hio
Watch Is Perfectly Reliable.
If there is one single scientific problem
upon which more than another people
appear to get mixed that problem ie
time. Standard time, local time, suit
time are exceedingly difficult problems
for the public to puzzle over, and when
sidereal time enters the calculation the
case ia hopeless indeed. I have fre*
quently of late seen so many letters ad¬
dressed this and other journals, all
touching upon one or the other of these
chronological questions, that I have con¬
cluded a short note explaining the main
points of difference would be, at any
rate, timely. If it only suggests to the
young men in the business offices the
idea of going to work at 0 a. m., local
mean time, and leaving off promptly at
4 p.m., Pacific standard time, the ques¬
tion will have been shown to possess a
practical side. The application of it,
however, is purely a matter of taste.
Well, to come to time, the great chro¬
nometer and regulator in chief to the
business, social and scientific world is the
earth itself. Turning upon its aria in the
period which we divide into twenty-four
hours, the sun appears to cross the me¬
ridian of each place on the globe once in
that interval. The moment at which it
crosses the meridian of any place (Green¬
wich), for example, is termed “loeal ap¬
parent noon” at that place. This would
be all very well if the earth and ran re¬
mained fixed in their relative positions;
or if the earth, completing, aa it does, an
annual revolution about the sun, did so
uniformly in a perfect circle and that
circle were in the same plane with the
motion of daily rotation. Then the suc¬
cessive intervals between the meridian
passages of the son at Greenwish would
all be equal, and a perfect chronometer
set at 12 hrs., 0 min., 0 sec., when tbs
sun transited today would indicate pre¬
cisely the same date. instant for “ajjparenl
noon” at every
MOTIONS OF TUB KAJBTfL
But the earth’s path around the sun is
not a perfect circlet it is aa ellipse, and
the motion in one portion of the ellipse is
more rapid than in another, and this
causes a slight variation in the intervals
between the solar passages. A j wfn , the
_
plane of the earth’s path around the son,
or the elliptic, is inclined #•***•
the plana of the equator in • w h i c h the
daily rotation takes place, and conse¬
quently twice a year the intervale of
“apparent noon” are each abont "twenty
seconds greater and tvrice a year cixmi
twenty seconds lees than twenty-four
hours. To explain just why this results
would require more of an investigation
into astronondcal principles than is here
eon tern plated; but it is so, nevertheless,
and any text book will elucidate flhe rea¬
sons. A combination of the twe effects
causes the sun to be appanenffy slow
fourteen minutes in February ajad fart
sixteen minutes in November. Btrt in
the course of a year the average eomes
out all right, and therefore a "mean
solar day” of exactly twenty-four hour*
is adopted in the almanacs and used foe
all purposes. This accounts far the dif¬
ference between mean time and bur time.
A regulator keeps the former; a son dial
indicates the latter.
A few years ago (or prior to 1*884) every
large city in the United States had it*
own local time, and this was fsr each
place the true mean solar time, chtnincd
as above indicated.

Consequently, a man traveling west¬

minutes ; at Omaha, 1 hour 10 minutes;
at Denver, 1 hour 52 minutes; at SaII
Lake City, 2 hours 20 minutes, and final¬

It will readily be recalled how much
annoyance was occasioned by att them
various corrections, both to teoinmea
and travelers. About the year men¬
tioned a great reform was inaugurated.
Nowadays a traveler going westward
finds his watch fast from time te time,
but only the hour hand is in error. Ail
the clocks in the country indteate the
minute and second of Greenwich mean
time, but the hour is changed for each

is 5 hours slow of Greenwich; Chicago,
6 hours; Denver, 7 hours. In San Fran-
