In the article on the removal of the South
western offices from Bmtthvtlle to Americas
which appeared In The Tikss-Recorder
yesterday It probably appeared to some who

A JOURNAL'S MISSION.
Some people, who hsve very crudo
ideas of journalism, as well as an ex
ceedingly small modicum of brains,
seem to imagine that a newspaper is re
sponsible for the sentiments expressed
or implied In the news it publishes, or
for the editorial sentiments of other
papers which are reproduced purely as
a matter of Information to the public.
Such publications may or may not
represent the views of the journal which
reproduces them; and the sole proper
criterion Is what the paper Itself says
editorially.
A good newspaper publishes every
thing—both sides of all questions of
public interest—merely as news; then in
its editorial columns it takes position
on one side or the other; and must be
judged accordingly.

A TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION.
On yesterday a distinct shock as of

All along the lines there is suddenly,
as If by arranged plan, a movement
against the nomination of ex President
Cleveland In 1892. It ii too general and
too significant to be overlooked, and It
seems indeed as If It was done by pro-
arrangement.
The news from New York is that Hill
Is a candidate for the nomination and
that he means to get It. It Is known
positively that he is in the fight. Ilia
friends are at work and now they do not
hesitate to claim that their man holds
under his control New York, New Jer
sey and Indiana, and that those states
will send Hill delegates if Hill so elects.
it cannot he atated with any certainty
yot, whether the Southern Alllancemon
are goln j to take up Governor Hill; but
this much seems sure, that they are
going against Ex-President Cleveland, if
the whispered rumors omanating from
certain prominent Alliancemen in Geor
gia are significant of the drift of senti
ment in the order at large.
This much may be regarded os certain:
the Alliancemen will go solidly just as
their leaders may lead off; and unless
there is a systematic effort being by Al
liance leaden to keep the public in the
dark as to their true intentions, enough
has cropped out to indicate that when
the national convention assembles, It
will be anti-Cleveland by just the ma
jority that Alllancemeu can make it.
Governor Hill might probably carry

vote of tbe Western as well as the South

the solid South on the Democratio nomi

quoted by tlie Macon News. The Lee
County Nows becomes guilty of the very
offense It erroneously charges against
The Times-Recorder; abusing Ameri
cus to help out Smithville.
Tbe old Recorder is on record in years
past as defending Lee county against the
charge of bad climate, and gave in proof
thereof a long list of the old people liv
ing there.

western Georgia in all respects, and have
never said one unkind word about Lee

Now let the I-ee County Nows cool off

Its thunder and lightning tirade against
Americus and The Times-Rkcohiieh, for
there is not a particle of foundation for
a single charge It has made. There has
not been a case of hemorrhagic fever In
Americus in many years, and the Lee
County News knows it; and upon the
question of health, there would probably
be no grounds for a change of location of
the railroad offices. It is purely a ques

railroad, and upon this basis alone the

EXIT BACCARAT.
Gordon-Cumming having been duly
[disgraced and the princo of Wales duly
whitewashed, British justice is satisfied
and the baccarat scandal takes its placo
with all other nine-day wonders.
But while It lasted what a panorama
It was! A Scottish laird with a rent-
roll of a quarter of a million convicted
of n five-dollar swindle; a parvenu fam
ly entertaining the heir apparent and
atchlog one of the royal circle to see
that be did not cheat bis prince; the
prince himself unpacking his own pri
vate gaming outfit and acting croupier
for all comers; an earl, ageneraT and a
half dozen other dignitaries conspiring
to conceal a crime and a dishonor; a
spiteful sultana landing the whole affair
in the courts—and such a tribunal! My
Lord the Chief-Justice os soft as velvet
to the future head of the church and ob
sequious jurymon who scarcely dared
breathe in the presence of the blood
royal.
It was a lino show while It lasted.
Parnell may think that bis marriage
to Mn. O'Shea will conciliate tho crimo
of which he was guilty, buthe will never
reach the eminence In the eyes of the
people which he held before his fall.
