EDITORIAL NOTES.
Bill Arp says he thinks Cleveland
is an excellent gentleman and that he
hopes he will die with as clear a
record as J efferson Davis.
The wife of General Boulanger is
an American lady. This explains
his wonderful success as an organizer,
A man cannot fail to succeed who
enters into partnership with one of
our women with the right stamp.
President Cleveland has returned
from his fishing expedition, having
had moderate luck. If he would
have better luck next time, let him
at once proceed to appoint Col. Nat
Hammond to the vacancy on the
supreme bench.
Iowa ku klux took two women out
from their homes the other day and
treated them most inhumanely. The
bloody shirt is to be the issue in the
next campaign, and possibly these
republicans were only practicing and a
little at home before disguising
coming south to work the outrage
mill.
A union General made a confed¬
erate memoiial speech in Virginia
last week. He made a good one,
doing no discredit to the memory of
the brave soldiers who fell under his
gallant leadership. The war is ^over,
certainly, and the rc-clcction of
Cleveland in ’88 will teach the re¬
publican leaders this wholesome
truth.
A telegram was received by parties
in Columbus yesterday announcing
the death of Prof. I. F. Cox, Presi¬
dent of the Southern Female College. ^
He died very suddenly yesterday
morning from apoplexy. He was
one of the finest educators in the
state, and the news oL^iis death will
cause deep regret wherever his name
is known.
General Sherman has written a
letter offering to shield President
Cleveland from insult if he attends
a military demonstration at St. Louis
to which he has been invited. The
kuklux seem to have left the South
and joined hands with the anarchists
of the great West. We have always
regarded them here as republicans in
disguise, but their open threats show
that at home they need no mask.
Upwards of six thousand hands
and three thousand teams are em¬
ployed in building a railroad from
Minot, Dak., to Great Falls, Mon
tano. Within six weeks one hundred
miles of the road have been com¬
pleted and track is being laid at the
rate of five miles a day. Such rapid
raihoad building has never before
been witnessed in this age and very
forcibly illustrates the wonderful
progress made by Americans in en¬
gineering science.
The New York World says: “Thom
as Nickols, who was at one time pri
vate secretary to President Garfield,
is altempting to form a company for
the construction of a tricycle railroad.
The cars are to be forty-six inches

wide, and are to run on a single track
suspended above existing railroad
tracks. Mr. Nickols claims that a
speed of 220 miles an hour can be
thus obtained, and that the journey
from New York to San Francisco
can be made in a day.”
The current number of the Scien
tific American illustrates the “Multi
cicle,” a new invention now being
tested b) the English military author
ities with a view to its adoption as a
vehicle for moving troops. It is con¬
structed upon the principle of the
tricycle, but is designed to cany
twelve men, with a small baggage
wagon attached if necessary. A doz
en trained soldiers cover a distance
ot ten miles an hour easily oyer ordi
nary roads and when desirable attain
a speed of sixteen miles an hour.
Mr T oc^e Z ' the manager manager of 01 the
National xt • , Opera n Company, announces
that the ba let will no longer be a
feature of the entertainments of hi
of this feature and regard it as de
grading the opera. Our position has
long been that to Hevate the stage
it is necessary to lower the dresses
of those who play on it. Isn’t it
strange that while our literature of
the higher sort has been purified
within a hundred years, that its hand
maid, the stage, has remained as im

The Journal favors the organiza
tion of the country newspapers of the
state for their mutual benefit. By
an organization of the right sort much
good might be done. United effort
upon the part of the editors and pub
lishers of our country papers would
do much to elevate the standard of
excellence and would prove pecuniar
ily beneficial to its members. But
we do not believe any effort to make
an advertising scale will succeed.
Where the mail facilities are such
that a paper has a monopoly in its
field, its circulation is worth more to
the advertiser relatively than that of
a paper circulating in a territory he
may reach otherwise. This and oth
er considerations make a uniform
scale out ot the organization. question. However,
let us have the
In a shoit while the period in which
the fourth clause of the interstate
commerce bill, as applicable to south¬
ern railroads was suspended will ex¬
pire, and it is given out that the law
will be enforced after that time that
its full effect may be tested. Rail¬
roads should be subjected to control
by the states in which they are oper¬
ated and if necessary authority to
this end should be delegated to the
states by the general government.but
we belieae it unwise to endeavor to
control the immense systems of this
country with a single commission.
Interests are to diverse and the cir¬
cumstances surrounding the roads
too widely different for one commis¬
sion to regulate the whole system.
It is not a good policy to have the
general government do what the sev¬
eral states can with greater ease and
safety do for themselves.

The Journal had a very pleasant
call Friday from Prof. F. C. Duke,
wbo bas recently closed his school at
pi an tersvii!e, Ala., and is now spend
j n g b j s vacation at his father’s, near
M ounta in Hill. As the author of

won a b jg b pj ace j n the esteem of
our reade rs and we hope to hear
from him often.
Commencement season is at hand
and the sweet girl graduates are be¬
ing turned out to shine for a brief
season like bright stars in the social
firmament. Then, if they fulfill their
destiny they will become the light
and joy of private homes, sending out
from the hearthstone an influence
that will aid in elevating and chris
tianizing the world.
It gives us pleasure to note that
Miss LoDusky Burton, of this coun

Hon. J. E. D. Shipp and family, of
Americus, arrived in town Friday on
the afternoon train. Business en¬
forced his return home yesterday but
Mrs. Shipp remains until after the
marriage of her brother, Dr. C. A.
Brooks and Miss Willis Copeland.
Dr. D. J. Williams gave us a pleas¬
ant call Monday morning and laid
upon our table the first cotton blooms
we have seen. These were pulled on
the 8th inst., one from the cotton
patch of Mr. J. L, Johnson and the
other from that of Mrs. Mahalia
Greer. This is remarkably early for
cotton blooms, indicating a forward
cotton crop.
