With a bargain counter in his cabi
net Mr. Harrison ought to be pretty well
tlxed, but in the care of the Keystone
bank Holy John appears to have counted
his bargain beforo it wan hatched. Tills
bank bill seems to have been a counter
feit Issue with Holy Joliu.
The Chicago Herald calls attention to
tbe fates of the two great embezzlers,
Bardsley and Quay. Tlio former was
sent to the penitentiary and the latter to
the United States Senate. Some men
seem to enjoy good luck and to always
carry tho lightest end of the log.
In his message, the governor haa asked
tbe legislature to investigate the validity
of certain sterling bonds issued in 1838,
which matured in 1808, and have recent
ly been presented for payment and were
refused by Treasurer Hardeman, bo-
causo they were not presented in accord
ance with tho terms of the act of March
2, 1875.
Honest John Baiuisley, the repub
lican treasurer of Philadelphia, who
succecdod in stealing nearly two million
dollaisfrom the city and state, bad ids
head shaved yesterday and commenced
serving Ida term of fifteen years in the
penitentiary, where his family will be
permitted to visit him once in every
four months.
There is great complaint by the How
York Sun because one of tho recently
executed murderers was said to havo
been burnt by electricity. Uncle Dana
should organize a society for the pre
vention of cruelty to murderers. These
gentloinen’s feelings must' not be trifled
with, merely becauao they ferociously
butchered their victims.
“PRACTICE WHAT TOU PREACH.”
Many people in Amerlcus are in the
habit of talking up the establishment of
various kinds of industries and enter
prises aa ‘ending above all else to build
up tbit city, and by word of mouth
have given much encouragement to such
movements.
It is potent that the presence of such
enterprises is worth nothing to the in
vestors nor the public, unless thoy can
control at least the home patronage;
yet some people seem to think they have
fully discharged their duty if they ad
vocate the bringing of enterprises here;
and then decline or neglect to give thorn
business afterwards.
An instance of this sort is right under
tbe eyes of The Times-Kecohdep. A
year ago tho Times Publishing Company
established in this city one of the most
complete book binding and manufac
turing concerns in the south; one that
turns out as good work and at better
prices than can be got in any city north
or west.
Specimens of this work can bo seen in
many of our banks, and mercantile con
cerns, and command admiration when
over exhibited.
Yet there are leading houses in Amer
icas, who have steadily refused for
year to even allow The Times bindery
to bid or estimate on that work, sending
it off to New York, Philadelphia or
Chioago, regardless of quality or prices
offered right at their doois, by a home
concern.
It is true that tills industry has so far
succeeded in spite of this defection, but
the point Is none tbe less well taken,
and there are no doubt other enterprises
leas able to stand tho lost of home sup
port, that are in tho same category with
The Times bindery.
If you want Americus to prosper, and
thereby make you prosperous, support
home enterprises, even at a reasonable
difference in prices, else be consistent
while patronizing foreign concerns, and
say that you don't want manufacturing
concerns in Americus, But prefer to get
work done abroad, all other things be
ing equal. These facts are commended
to the thoughtful attention of those who
preach in Americus and practice
abroad.
One of tbe most crying needs of the
present is reform In the method of ad
ministering justice, whereby murderers
and felons can under color of law defeat
justice for yeart, If not altogether. Gov
ernor Northon has called attention to
-the unnecessary delays in the enforce
ment of the criminal laws, and recoin
mends such legislation as,will put an end
to it
The other day a St Louis afternoon
papor took a poll of one hundred Mis
souri editors, regarding their ohoiee of
a candidate for president In 1892, and
tbe result was 48 declared for Cleveland,
28 for Blaine, 15 for Harrlaon, 10 for Mc
Kinley and the others scattered. Thta
vote ihows quite plainly that Cleveland's
popularity la by no means on the decline,
baton the contrary, that he Is just ai
strong with the people as be waa when,
.filling the presidential chair.
The Michigan legislature which has
just adjourned waa tho first de inocratio
legislature that bad assembled In Michi
gan for many years, and it got down to
buslneaslu a style that ohallehgea tbe
admiration of the politicians the coun
try over. Tho first thing this legisla
ture did was to pass a law to ohoose
presidential electors from the congrei-
tlonal districts, and then It proceeded to
apportion the districts so as to make
them all democratic. There wasn't any*
thing small about the Michigan legisla
ture.
The backbone of the opposition to tho
re nomination of Gov. Campbell way
broken when the Hamilton county con
vention elected a solid delegation for
him, despite the fact that It was thought
sure that the eounty would declare for
Neal. It Is now evident that there will
be little, If any, opposition tto Campbell
when the Democratic State Convention
meets at Cleveland on the 14th of this
month, and there la every reason to be
lieve that be will be nominated by accla
mation an] the convention will put an
end to all diwi-ntions which have exist
ed in the |iariy, and that the Democrats
will go Into tho fight united and deter
mined to win.
1’rohauly one of the most injudicious
mores ever made was that of the Termi
nal system, In putting up coal rates just
before the legislature met and getting
tbe public temperature op to 212 In tbe
shade, in the nick of time to insure boa-
tile legislation, that was only defeated
last year by the moat careful manage
ment of the railway management Per
haps this la, however, not an oversight,
bnt-a simple throwing down of
gauntlet to tbqpnbUe by the Terminal
tha celebrated language of Vanderbilt
•ay, “The pnblio be damned.'

THE SUB-TREASURY IN TENNESSEE.
A prominent Tennessee alltanceman,
whose views hare weight In Ills section,
expresses himself upon the sub-treasury
measure in tho following language :
“I am opposed to the measure, have
ever been, which fact is well known to
all who have heard mo express my vlows
on tbe subject While unquestionably,
the farmers have a right to organize for
their own protection and the promotion
of their own Interests, and also a right
to a fair representation in our legisla
tive connolla, that the great agricultural
interests of the country may bo guarded
with zealous caro, yet, I think the sub-
treasury measure deceptive In ita nature
and It will not bring the desired relief to
farmers, nor tbe country In general. It
Is quite evident to my mind that tbe
greatest burden thefarmere have to bear
Ib that imposed upon them by the
operation of the tariff laws. True this
tax.is grlovous to all, but more so to the
farmer, because In addition to general
merchandise he haa to buy for the use
and comfort of his family, he has also
to buy farming Implements and machin
ery at a high protected price. He has
also to lubmit to a depression in prices
if bis products, owing to the orippled
Condition of our oommercc, caused by
the operation of a protective tariff. We
should not allow the sub-treasury or any
other question to obscure tbe rosin
Issue, which Is tariff reform, through
tbe success of which will come the
grestest relief to tho country, and espe
cially to the farming clast.
Let us, therefore, adhere all tbe more
clotely to the principles of tho demo
cratic party, for tbe success of the demo
cratic party affords us the only avenue
of relief from the burdens of an iniqui
tous tariff tax and the ravages of unjust
trusts and combinations.
I THE CIGARETTE TAX. ’
For good, sound, old-fashioned, hard,
common sense, the following from the
pater familias of the Constitution Is to be
commended to all those so-called beads
of households who haven't backbone
enough to control their boys, and want
the legislature to assume that responsi
bility for them:
A gentleman who ought to he posted re
marked the other day that the consumption
of cigarettes had Increased ten per cent. In
this city since the recentordlnanee of the
city council taxing this article of tobacco
4200. It seems to be the same old tale of for
bidden fruit being the sweetest, and the cig
arette manufacturers, who are the most ex
tensive advertisers In the world, do nut
seem tc be troubling themselves at this
mauner of ad verilalng.
It la all right to prohibit the aale of ciga
rettes at all to boys and to pass stringent
laws to prevent the aalo of drugged or adul
terated cigarettes to anybody; but to single
out this special product for attack and make
It the ecape-goat of the weed In all other
forms appears to be a matter of questionable
wisdom. The best law to prevent a boy from
smoking cigarettes la a paddle In the hands
ofaeturdyparent. It Is a summary cure
and when pronerly applied never falls to sc*
com llsh good results.
A boy who can be prevented for a time
from securing cigarettes because he cannot
easily get them, will generally see to It that
cheap cigars, or tobacco in some shape,
sopp , .!ed.aad,wlll go to;the trouble oftentimes
of providing himself with cigarettes by easy
evasion of the law.
The use of tobacco In any form Is deleterl
ous to a maturing boy, and it Is the duty of
parents to prevent the use, not only of cigar
ettes, but of tobacco many shape. Ifthepo-
lice were required to notify parsnts emJ
guardians of the youths who All their bodies
with nicotine end cigarette fumes, It would
be better than to put a premium on the sale,
ae Is now the case.
If tho parental authority does not exercise
itself but little result can be accomplished by
an appeal to the law. There Is danger that
we are drifting to too much epeclal legisla
tion and losing sight of too many of tho old
customs that were lawt, and which gave
power to tbe parent to regulate with the
strap.
Gov, Xorthex will be a candidate for
re-election. Mr. Fat Calhoun's friends
contemplate putting him In the field,
too, If the conditions are favorable. Mr.
Calhoun and Mr. Watson are looking
forward to the senatorahip when Mr.
Colquitt’i term expires. Senator Col
quitt’s days have almost passed. Joe
Brown has surrendered the political
sceptre. Gen. Gordon cannot bo with
us but a few years more at the most
With the passing of this great trium
virate, new men will take their places.
But those who do go the front must fight
hard for the prize. In the now order of
tilings which is coming, Savannah
should have a hand. Political coalitions
are natural and necessary. It will be
South Georgia’s fault if at the proper
moment, she does not present a man
who can command the respect and co
operation of the leadeis In Middle and
North Georgia.—Savannah News.
It is said that Mr. Carnegie will seek
a seat In the British parliament at the
next election. Should he succeed, he
will be obliged to swear allegiance to
the queen, and this country will lose a
citizen who has been particularly loud
and frequent in his protests of loyalty
to American Ideas. With the great
wealth whloh tbe American tariff has
enabled him to accumulate, Mr. Carne
gie should be able to secure a baronetcy
at least In his native country, and be
come quite a social as well as a financial
magnate.
