Be it ever so humble,there is noth

Spalding County exhibited her us¬
ual becoming modesty in the State
convention.
The delegates to St. Louis from
the State at large are ail young men.
It is the young Democracy that is do
ing the fighting this year, and they
seem to has o the lick.
It leoks as if Georgia was for
Cleveland, even ii the Executive
Committee did not think it their
duty to give him a half cooked and
premature endorsement.
It is very funny—it is side split—
ing—to hear the Constitution talk
about -‘state” proceedings and “wire
pullings.” Such words used to make
that once able newspaper quite in¬
dignant.
The Constitution was right in say¬
ing that there was rio fight on the
tariff question in Georgia. A cor¬
poral’s guard can not fight an army,
although it may think so before the
lines arc formed.
On Wednesday the Alabama Dem
ocrats renominated Thomas Seay for
governor, with a full State ticket.
Yesterday they elected Cleveland
and tariff reform delagatcs to St.
Louis.
Hon. Pope Barrow is the most ex¬
perienced and probably the ablest
man on the delegation to St. Louis,
and received tho highest number of
votes. Ho will doubtless lie made
chairman of the delegation-
Patrick Walsh retains his fine
sense of humor to the last. lie
wanted to make the platlorm for the
convention, hut the convention, not
appreeiatiug the jest, thought il
could do a little in the platform line
itself.
Hon. Jno. .1. Hunt was toe able
and handsome chairman of
Spalding delegation at the State con
vention, and it is to him that our
readers are indebted fur the concise
special in yesterday’s N lews
the proceedings. lie was unco

No truer or more
Democrats in Georgia could
been sent to St. Louis than
llichardson, of the Macon
and Editor Triplett, of the Tfiomaa-
ville Times. They will reflect honar
not only upon the State, but upon
the press.
It seems to be the general opinion
of members of both Houses of Con-
gres that the present session will ex
tend well into and possibly nearly
through the summer, because Con¬
gressional business will necessarily
be delayed by the St. Louis and
Chicago National Conventions.

A special from Washington to the
New York Herald, of yesterday, sap,
A secret but rapidly developing
movement is under way in this city
to nominate ex-Senator Allen G.
Thurman for second place on the
Presidential ticket with Mr. Cleve
land The gentlemen prominent in
fko affair include Sec -dors and ri pro
sentativea in Congress, aa well as cor
tain officials connected with the ad
ministration. The greatest secrecy
ban been observed in regard to the
matter.
The House ia getting a little tired
of the tariff’ discussion Every day
when the debate ia concluded, prior
to fldjonrnment, the member prtsid
ing in committee of tbo whole has
to report to the Speaker: “The com
mittee of the whole House on the
State of the Union has Lad under
consideration the bill to reduce taxa
tion and simplify the laws in relation
to the collection of the revenue, and
has come to no conclusion.”
The other day another victim of
tho tobabco habit died at Parkers
bnrg, West Virginia. This lament
cd citizen commenced smoking bis
pipe at sixteen years of age, and nev
er lost a day to the nepentbean be
guilement; even committing tbo ex
cess of smoking deep and long every
night before retiring. His untimely
takiDg off at 113 years of age sets be
fore us another example.
The Austrian person who has just
died at the ago of 142, leaving a son
of 115 and grandson of 85, must
have been an interesting person. If
he had any property to leave, his
heirs must bavo become more or lees
weary. No doubt, beforo be passed
away, he cautioned his young grand
sou agaicst smoking cigarettes.
Mr. Lanham, of Texas, in his
speech on the Mills bill, on Wedces
day, said that though be represented
tbo owners of over a million sheep,
he was for free wool. He added: If
a Democrat favors a protective tar
iff. let him go into tho camp of the
enemy; if a I’epablican favors tariff
reduction, let him come into the
party of refoun.

Unless something unforeseen pre
vents, the general debate on the tar
iff bill will close next Monday. The
last speech will bo made by Speaker
Carlisle. His speech was prepared,
or rather its scopo* and direction
wero struck out, shortly after the
1'resident’B message was sent to
Congress,
The Southern Baptist Convention
will meet nt Bichmond, Ya., today-
It is computed that about a thousand
delegates will attend, including many
of the most distinguished Baptists
in the couutry. Tho convention will
have to elect a new President in
place of Chancellor Moil, deceased.
The ribald writer of the East who
recommends the Congressional liic

means of kindling fires has probably
never seen that beauti'ul quotation
about “thoughts that breathe and

rounds, paralyzing his art and filling him
with dismay. The legend of the ancient
Greeks pictures tho Furies as pursuing
families from generation to generation,
rendering them desolate. The Furies still
ply their work of terror and death, but they
are not now clothed lu the garb of supersti-
1 tion, but appear in the more intelligible but
f no liras awful form of hereditary disease.
Modem science, which has illuminated so
many dark corners of nature, has shed a
new light on the ominous words of the
Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers shall bo
visited upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation.” Instances of hereditary
disease abound. Fifty per cent, of cases of
consumption, that fearful destroyer of fami¬
lies, of cancer and scrofula, run in families

A distinguished scientist truly says: "No
organ or texture of the body Is exempt from
the chance of being the subject of hereditary

which permanently modify the structure
and functions of the body, are more or less

facts—affecting so powerfully the happiness

welfare of the nation—are obvious to reflec-
