Some of us who have slobbered over him during his visit will need the aaliva we have wasted to enable u* to digest the said negro appointees. Congressman Rixey ot Virginia has Introduced a bill into Congress to open the doors of national soldiers’ bomsf to ex-Confederates on equal terms wilh union men. The New Orleans Picayune says: “It ought to be noticed that Congressman Rixey was not a confederate soldier, not be ing old enough to have participated in the tremendous struggle of 1861- 1865. If ho had been, be would nev er have offered in Congress such a E . MlL** The Louisville Courier-Journal makea the following comment, which is applicable in Georgia as well as in Kentucky: “The cotton growers of Louisiana are being urged by the di*> roctor o! the agricultural bureau to tobacco instead of cotton, as the cultivation even of the common kinds qsed for chewing aud smoking ia alleg oto be very profitable. Kentucky «bo. are so highly dissatisfied With the prices they are receiving now might giye some thought to this prop<* oaition q( competition." UUI. l. .IBUIB “Gen. Garcia," aays the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record, “had an aged colored servant who was born a slave upon his father’s planta tion and was brought up with him from childhood. The old negro had followed him in all his ware, and had shared his prison cells, and sat beside the bed when the general breathed his last. Every lime his master groaned he would groan also; and the death which came to the one will not let the other linger much longer, The faith ful servant does not care to live now. His interest in life is gone, and no one would be surprised if he died of grief within a short time. ’ mxßßsssssssss Those Spaniards who were furlbeet < away from the scenes of the fighting are still in a fine frenzy of anger with the Americans. In Granada they are stoning the statute of Columbus for having discovered the terrible and hateful country which we inhabit, aud in Cadia and Algiers they are refusing to accept American gold for purchases in the shops because the coins bear the despised eagle Meantime those sur viving Spaniards who were in or near the firing lines on land, or on ships which met Dewey and Schley, and alter having been vanquished were fed, clothed and nursed by the victors, have nothing save praise to say of the Americans. The point of view induces the opinion.—Savannah News. . The Nashville American can see no silver lining to the cloud that bangs I over the democratic party. “In a na tional sense," it says “the party is bad ly disorganised and drifting like the derelict at sea. The tremendous- and costly fight which the party made io 1896, and which was lost by a scratch, • taxed its vitality to the utmost, and thia, followed by the defeats sustained In the election last month, have dis couraged hundreds of thousands of the moot loyal members. Ahead these men see nothing but darkness and repeated defeats, and naturally there is growing desire among them to see something one which will again make the party a forceful and dominant factor in shaping the politics of the govern ment.” Educate Your Bowel, with Vac carets. £ a^ h i r i‘ c - cur ® constipation forever. “O. ®c. If C. C. C. fai I. druggists refund monev Things Left Undone. After a session of fifty days the Georgia Legislature has adjourned without disposing pl the two most im portant matters before I:—ballot reform and the tax problem. Almost every member hsd so many things of a minor nature to put through that matters of a general na ture. though p! more Importance than all the others combined had lo.be ignored almost entire'y I is tsue a commission was sent to Tennessee to investigate the workings of the ballot system in vogue in that state, which is virtually the Australian system, but beyond receiving tbe report of this committee the Legislature did nothing. It is also true that a commission to Investigate ftod suggest the best plan for tax reform has been authorised, but this is barely morcjjwn an acknowl edgement of the need for reform, says the Macon News So far as these two most important problems are concerned, they are ns far from a solution as ever; and yet noth could and should have been dis posed of during the first two weeks of the session For the only correct so lution bl>6fh problems have ahea-'y been suggested time and again by men as competent to speak »• tbe- commit tees that have reported aod are yet to report on the subjects. The whole trouble lies io the fact that every member goes to Atlanta with some little special hobby of his own—a bill to do ibis or undo thab and so on, and he has no mind nor heart for anything else until he bas brought bis own matter to the attend tion of the .legislature. A desire to please some exacting constituent or an ambition to make a new law all his own causes almost every legislator to trot forward at each session with one or more special bills, all of which have to be acted upon, regardless of how ma ty matters of vital public impor tance have to be put aside from day to day. And if the legislature met twice as often as it does, there would be just as many of these bills at each session. Every member would be bent on mak ing a litHe history. It is a great pity that a special ses sion of the legislature cannot be called to settle the ballot and tax reform problems, and do nothing else. This is about our only chance to have the more important matters attended to. ne-T(rl;»c tor Fifty (.'cuts.
