EDITORIAL NOTES.
Hon. Henry R. Harris, according
to a newspaper report, is of the
opinion that the presidential S8 candi
date for the democracy m must
be a western man.
If Georgia can be made a doubt¬
ful state by ’88, the probability is she
will be conciliated with the second
place on the national democratic
ticket. So far the leading appoint¬
ments in the state have had a ten¬
dency to disintegrate the democracy
of the state, which may make a Vice
President of one of our senators.
Already we see a prospect of such a
ticket as Cleveland and Brown. Our
J. B. is sly, sir, very sly.
Rev. George T. Chandler, of Ju¬
niper, spent last Sabbath in our city.
At night he preached at the Method¬
ist church to a fair audience. His
sermon was one which set forth the
beauties and pleasures of the religion
of the Lord Jesus Christ, encoura¬
ging the believer and inviting the
sinner. The church was not well
heated, the weather was cold and the
seats were sparsely filled, but the ser¬
mon under these depressing circum¬
stances was one that predicates a the ca¬
reer of eminent usefulness to
young divine.

An inquiring subscriber desires to
know if “84” m the title of Colonel
Gorman’s book has any reference to
the author’s age. We think not. Al¬
though the last lines of the book
sound like a lament at the advance
of old age, well befitting a roan of
84, we think this is but a little poetic
license of the author, quite excusa¬
ble in one who has just taken
jr retrospective view covering nearly
all the nations of the globe. It is
quite natural for one who has seen as
much of the world as Col. Gorman
to feel old and express himself thus
when in a poetic mood, but we take
pleasure m assuring our fair inquirer
that our friend is still quite young
enough for the P. G. in G. Instead
of beiug born with the century, we
should guess that it was away along
in its teens when he commenced see¬
ing the world and its wonders.
We are in receipt of a copy of the
New Working World, an Atlanta pa
per the purpose of which seems to
be to injure the business of the At¬
lanta Constitution. A “rule or ruin”
policy is a bad policy for an individ¬
ual or a corporation, and this is the
policy the World advocates. If the
proprietors of the Constitution pre
fer to manage their own printing of-

fice, rather than have it managed for
them by a typographical union, we
think a discriminating public will ac¬
cord them the right to do so. If by
d • ‘' so „ make a bate paper,
(he ietors shouW not b e de¬
(erred f rom rea pj n g (h e profits con
sequent upon such betterment, The
public is always interested in the bet¬
terment of public journals. Upon
the other hand, if their course does
not better their journal, the proprie
tors of the Constitution invite a rival
if they do not change. \V e hope it
will be a long time before the people
of this section become imbued with
the ideas of the New Working
World.
