MATTER SEE FIRST PAGE. EDITORIAL NOTES. Rev. Dr. Hawthorne’s parishioners seem to think that Dr. Strong ought to feel complimented that their pas¬ tor used his words, credit or no U till 7 ither continues our waste bask el w soon be filled with original poetry. “When the leaves begin to Dun,” the amateur poet begins to v, nlc. Men Mf*t was refused naturaliza tion ,per. n New York the other dav. This ; the first instance of the kind on reoo rd, but Herr Most is the hr or kind too. he ra Ii ads running into Colum bur arly a.1 changed their sched uses < on ' iay The changes were all made in the interest of the traveling public—a notable fact. Close readers of the Atlanta Con¬ stitution aver that it loves the sensa tional. Yiewed through this lense is not a sinister motive apparent in its advocacy .of free whiskey? Walt Whitman informs his friends that he manages to live on $100 a ycar. When a man is bent on wri ting poetry or editing a country newspaper it is useless to try to starve him out. It's an insult to the intelligence of a people to say that the advocacy of a cause by a public journal throws them iti the opposition. Men are contemptible whose actions are in (luenced by no higher motive. The JouRNAi is no hero worship¬ per and it doesn’t endorse the views of Mr. Davis upon the temperance question, but it proposes to give a big rebel yell for Jeff Davis when his foot again presses Georgia soil. Atlanta promises that President Cleveland shall find everything at the Piedmont exposition in tip-top order, even should he happen in on the opening day. The work cn the fair grounds has moved like magic and it looks now as if the promise would be kept. Our friend John Triplett is very anxious for a detachment of the sal vation army to visit Thomasville. If Captain Ella Bruckner should call on Captain John she would easily make a happy and valued convert of him. He has ever found the charms of the fair sex irresistable. The Atlanta Constitution would abolish the tax on whiskey, that the high prices of cloth, shoes, hats and other every day luxuries may be maintained. The Constitution is evidently of the opinion that the man supplied with plenty of free whiskey is the happiest possible citizen. Your cotton seed as a fertilizer ’ according to the ruling prices now of the elements ot plant food they con tain, are worth fifteen cents a bushel. You know when you use them that you are using a genuine article and it is not the part of wisdom to sell them and buy guano unless you can get a good price for them. A poem recently published in the Journal as an original composition by one of our correspondents, which narrowly escaped the waste basket as not being up to our standard, turns out to have been written by the poet Longfellow. As we have had occa sion before to remark, the poetic standard of this journal is high, very Mrs. Frank Leslie confesses that at one time she was in love with a certain foreign count who was paying homage to her, va hereupon the editor of the Savannah News says that if she has any friends they should lock her up. This is so like a man. One never hears a woman admit that she loves another fellow without being overcome by a feeling of the most intense disgust. • We have just received a very pret ty song called “There's no one like Mother to me,” by Charles a Davies, For a nice home song, in which both the words and music are so very pretty, it is hard to equal. It can be played upon the piano or organ, and will be sent to any address for only 22 r-cent stamps. Address the publishers, J. C. Cincinnati, Groene & Ohio. Co., 30 and 42 Arcade, Hon. Jefferson Dams, President of the Confederate states, will be an interesting figure at the Confederate re union during the State Fair, He had many harsh critics among his own people, but in the war for our southern rights there were many brilliant achievements and history will accord to him much credit in them. He has borne his reverses of fortune in a manner that has made all true southern hearts proud of their persecuted chief, and jve hope that Georgians all will heartily unite in doing him honor upon the occasion of his visit to Macon. One of our esteemed correspond¬ ents suggests that the Journal can no longer be termed an “Almanac” by the contemptuously inclined. Let us hope it will always deserve a name as honorable. Your almanac may be frequently burdened with gratuitous advice on gardening, delusive patent medicine certificates, false weather predictions and a modicum of stale jokes, but these are barnacles only, journeying upon the merits of the good ship to which they are attached. The almanac is an indispensable ad¬ junct of every well regulated family and our ambition is to make the Journal as useful and indispensable, > ♦ A NOTE OF WARNING. Reports from ihe money marts of this country are to the effect that this lubricant of commerce is scarce and the rates for its use high. When we consider the vast amounts piled up i n the national treasury and the great sums being added to it daily by a tariff that protects only the manufac tunug interests, the reason for this stringency is apparant. Then in ad dition to this our people have entered upon an era of extravagance such as preceded the financial crash of 1873, from which the country was many years recovering. The exports to foreign countries are large, but our imports j exceed them by many mill¬ ions. And in addition to all this we are b orrovv j n g millions upon millions frQm Europe to build railroads and to develop protected industries that protectionists tell us can live only while the government upholds them. Should these investments pay the profits will ° inU) forei „ lands an(1 lhey wiu dram the country ol its wealth . and , leave us poorer than ever. “The borrower is a servant to the lender” says the inspired w,se man and there 15 har(jer taskmaster than the foreignei who has no interest in our lan;1 a ” J no sympathy for its institu lions. It is bad enough for us should this money be invested so as to pay the annual interest charges, but it will be infinitely worse should the invest ments be put into property that fails to do this, A failure not onlv hurts the party who fails but hurts all his neighbors and every kindred interest. Speculation is rife and it is the part of muclence to be sure footed now. ! Let e * eiv u.;n resolve to take <;s lew , chances as possible. Pile readers of the Journal are largely ot the farm ing class. They can avert the pending evil by raising at home every article of home economy that is pos_ sible.
