Griffin U the liveliest, pluokiest, most pro
grewive town in Georgia. This is no liy per
Olkai descri tion, as the record of the last
(Ire years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a 1100,000 cotton
faotory anil is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has put up a
targe iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac-
ory, an immense ice and battling works* a
sash and bund faotory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
United State-, and has many other enter¬
prises in outemplatiou. It has secured
another ail road uinety miles long, and while
ooatcu on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the Kast Tennessee, Virginia
aud Georgia. It has just secured direct inde-
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wist, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
Its five white and three oolored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Pre«byterian chnroh. It has Increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at¬
tracted around Its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now snrrouuded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyard. It is the home of the
grape and its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
u seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the reoord of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and rolling oountry, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low qstiiuate between 6,000 and
7,u00 people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de
siruble settlers, who will not be any less wel
oome if they bring money to help build up
the town. There is about only one thing wc
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for onr
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention

Washington City, Dec. 12.—There
seems to be no longer any doubt that the

have been claiming that their party
would organize that body, have all given

there is not another district in the land

through irregularities to give them a
majority of even one. A careful inspec¬

democrats are forced to admit that their

take his place. Of course no one hopes
that any suefi misfortune may come
upon a republican, the house, as bad as the demo¬
crats want and when it comes
to dying, a democrat is as likely to die
as any one else.
The republicans are claiming a major¬
ity of five in the next house. They can¬
not substantiate it on the returns that
have been received hare. To do it they
put down on their side of the division
two members from West Virginia. They
may secure one member from West Vir¬
ginia. but even that is doubtful. The
contest in two of the Virginia districts
has yet to be settled in the courts, and
the indications are that the democrats
will get both and thus have a solid dele¬
gation from the state. They also claim
the Chattanooga district of Tennessee.

Bates in that district and he will thke

tlte Army am! Navy*
Washington. Dec. 12. — [Special. ]—
General Legitime’s circular is lteing read
with interest by diplomats here
General i egitinie recently sent it to
the powers as a [ilea for his party and
cause, ami in it the "Black Nupoieon’
outlines his scheme for reorganizing the
Haytieu laud and sea armies.
After indulging in a few preliminary
platitudes he says: Hayti, ou account of
her exceptional political conditions and
also as an insular nation, should have an
army and a navi. It is Often said, with¬
out trying to find the reason for it,
that the United States have no perma¬
nent army. The United States, a great
nation, have no immediate and powerful
neighixirn: therefore they have no fear
of military surprises or of any violation
of territory'.
This is not the case with the neutral
states ot Europe any more than it is
witli Hayti, though the latter i* sur-
ounded by a belt of water. Hayti’s
natural neutrality iu international con¬
flicts is not a sufficient guarantee for the
people* interested if the country itself
does not become a power able to inspire
respect by- her military organization.
Consequently our armies of land and sea
require reform in accordance with their
mission, so that tiie soldier should in fu¬
ture have a higher consciousness of his
duty and that beneath tho uniform the
citizen should feel himself honored.
The army, regularly constituted, is a
brilliant career open to our eouragoous
youth, and the nation, henceforth solidi¬
fied, can at any hour count ujion an 6f-
feetive force to maintain order and im¬
pose respect. what the
As to affects navy, we can
add that the country cannot, to place it¬
self in communication with the outside
world, always be forced to have recourse
to foreign shins. Hay ti iu many tilings

The following, from a naval stand¬

to produce this effect wc
we should actually limit ourselves to the

The organization of the Hay tien army-
can lie modified so that each regiment,
with it* numerical order, should in fu¬
ture form a corps of five companies of
one hundred men. These corps will al¬
ternately and in proper order do garri¬
son service, the number necessary for
that service being four thousand men,
provided for and equipped upon the
model of European armies. This effect¬
ive force canno: be exceodod without the

ple of Queensland, by their rcfit.-al to ac¬
cept Sir Henry Blake as governor of the
colony, have administered a stuuulug.
blow to iuiiH-rialisni.
Blake, who graduated from the counter
of a Dublin dry goods store as a politi¬
cian. fortunalelv for himself, married a
sister of the late Bernal Osborne, who
was allied to the military-.
By this alliance lie scoured the patron¬
age of influential men who contrived to
keep him continually in a lucrative office.
As a resilient magistrate in Ireland lie
became very unpopular with the people
liecausc of the rigorous manner in whic.li
lie enforced tho coercion law. The zeal
with which lie served the government in
Ireland now riees up to jdugue him.
It is more tlian suspected that tho op¬
position to his appointment as governor
of by Queensland Irish residents is inspire:! and fostered
the of that country.
As the colonists pay the salary of the
governor, which is $25,000 annually, be¬
sides they naturally an establishment think that and they perquisites, should
have something to say about the selec¬
tion. The unionists who have hail so
much to say as to the preservation of the
"integrity of the empire,” with are now sud¬
denly threatened If colonies a will new not view of
