If you put any money in Ameri- cns real estate just now you are sure Up get plenty of mud. Atlanta has got her attraction for tiie exposition, and its Jay Gould. She should be happy now. Mr. Gould is in the South, and we have not yet heard of any rail, roads being captured by him. It is to he hoped that Savannah will not iutrodftce the visiting ag riculturists to Mr. Artillery Punch, Gov. Northen is responsible for the making of forty more Colonels. There will bo no privates left, at this rate. The Americus National Building and Loan Association will help in the good work of givlug Americus a national reputatibn. * It is said a reporter of the Macon News was lost in the mud while crossing a street the other day, and had to be fished out with nets. Reciprocity Blaines is again al lowing a presidential bee to buzz around his bonnet, and it will take a first-class Cleveland nun stroke to kill it in 1H92. Gov. Gordon lias not appealed to “My Countrymen” since the mem orable night of the artesian well meeting. By this we understand that the country Is safe. The state lias not had any Alli ance addresses from Hon. T. M. Norwood since the ^Senatorial cam paign. Is Mr. Norwood no longer interested in tiie Alliance? The .Southern Ailiauce Farmer will have a few words to say about that new Alliance paper, and they will—if written by Larry Gantt— be about three eolumus long. The Savannah Times is in a state tit su-pense, for fear the agrieult- uri-ts may not be aide to reach Sa vannah on free passes. If this was the Alliance, Hartridge would breathe easier. F.d to Shaver, of Chattanooga says that tiie Brunswick Herald’s motto, “light for tiie people’s cause,” if well stuck to, will he sure to win Yes, if tiie people will pay the freight. Frank Munsey’s sixteen page magazine paper, the Continent, is as devoid of politics as an old maid ia of aimiability. But its a newsy shecl all the same, and is striking otil in a new line. If tiie Charleston News and Cou rier desires to see sectional strife ended, and the country united, then why should not Mr. Harri son and Mr. Blaiue he invited to the Augusta Exposition? It rattier looks to Tun Recorder like tiie State Geologist should run the Geological Department; the State Treasurer leok after the cash, and then let GAv. Nortlieu keep his eye on botli of them. ■ "Irrldesoent" Ingalls, since re turning from Kansas, is as gloomy and melancholy as a last years bird’s nest. If he could only col lect all the newspapers’ expressions of joy over his defeat, he would have enougli leading to last him several years. Geologist .Spencer seems to have the best of tire Geological Board since 1’rof. Willett has repudiated Mr. Whatley. If the Geologist can’t boss his subordinates, what’s the use of having a boss, and why not let the hoard do all tiie bossing, Is what occurs to The Recorder. The Confederate Home seems to he in a bad way, judging from a card In Sunday's Constitution from Hon. W. T. Hrnitli. It. can find no money with which to open it; b« State will not take charge of It. *>d Mr. Smith can find no one » ho w h. The enthuaiaem which pre- when it waa built seems to j bare died out. BE FAIR WITH THEM. Railroads, as corporations, seem to he theespeclal object of attack of certain papers and politicians. Thu Recorder is notan apologist for any railroad or corporations, yet it always likes to Bee fair play. Lately considerable criticism has been indulged in, and a number o 1 railroads have been torn to pieces, newspaporlally, because the rail road com mission lias not tiie power to compel railroad companies to keep their roads up to a tine degree of excellence, and the legislature has been called upbn to correct this evil by giving the commission the power. This is all good enough, as far as it goes, hut let the people consider this matter just a moment, before the roads are condemned as being Instruments of murder. Railroad men are accused of running rail roads for the big profits In the busi ness. It occurs to us, then, that the roads themselves would find it to their own advantage to keep everything in first-class order, and if anyone will take the trouble to critically examine the great systems in Georgia* he will find that they compare favorably in eyery respect witli the best roads iu the country. As for the smaller roads, which were built almost solely for freight purposes, it would not be just nor fair to ask them to he kept up as finely as the larger ones, for if they were compelled to put down tine steel rails, put on separate coaches for the two races, aud run their trains on the same plan as the larg er roads, they would break iu twelve months. All roads, large or small, should have good bridges, ties, embank ments, etc., and he run as safely as possible, but iu justice to the small er roads they should be allowed more consideration than the larger systems on account of the vast dif ference iu the receipts. Railroad accidents are liable to happen at any time, aud for causes that can not he guarded against, and if the railroads are expected to run and make dividends for their owners, not even tiie railroad commission ers, nor all the wise editors, could prevent uceidents and casualties. The Recorder fuvois a strict control of the railroads by the com mission, an 1 if the various legis latures would adopt a liberal policy towards them, mid not hamper them with petty bills, tiie new roads would be able to comniuml the uee- essury money to put themselves in first-class condition to begin with, and not be compelled to begin busi ness with old rails, second hand engines and cars, aud poorly thrown up grades. A NEEDED REFORM. Gov. Northen has more to attend to than any man in Georgia, and were it not a political office, The Recorder doubts if any good man could be found who would accept the position of Governor. The olllce lius an honorary position which many covet, and the power of appointments is Itsjreatest al lurement. But that every Gov ernor is underpaid and overworked is well known. The pardoning power of the Gov ernor of a great state like Georgia can he abused in a great many ways. The Governor can grant pardons without looking over tiie mass of evidence which accumu lates in every case, or he can refuse It, just as lie pleases. If lie be a conscientious man, lie will go Into the case as thoroughly as the Judge who tried it, and any one pan im agine the work that would lie. The State should have a Board of Pardons, whose duty it will he to Investigate the cases and petitions that limy be appealed to them, and thus relieve the Governor of much work atul a very thankless task. Buell a hoard could devote its whole time to these cases, aud thus ren der justice wh-n a court might he iu error, As it is, should the Gov ernor devote all his lime to these eases, even then it would not be sufficient to cover tile ground. If Georgia could once have a leg islature which would devote itself to such reforms as this, instead of amending the code, and passing private hills, it would redound to the beneftt of the State. Walter Bridges, Athens, Teuu., writes: “For six years 1 have h eti stfiieted with running sores atul an enlargement ot the bull to iu my leg. I tried everything I heard j of without any permanent benefit until Botanic Blood Balm was I recommended to me. After using 1 six bottles the sores healed, and I j am now iu Letter health titan I have ever been. I send this testi- 1 menial unsolicited, because I want j others to he benefitted.” A BREAK !N THE RANKS. The old Gordon-Senatorial tight is breaking out in a new place iu the Alliance ranks, aud the breach promites to lie a bad one. On Thursday night and Friday morning of last week a secret meet ing of ABiaueemen was held iu At lanta, aud tiie matter of starting an Ailiauce paper against the present Alliance organ, tiie Southern Alli ance Farmer, was discussed. Two prominent Alliance editors were present. None of those present will discuss the matter with report ers, but that much has crept out. President Livingston aud Kditor Gantt do not take kindly to t’.iis movement, as, should it be success ful, it means the breaking up of the organization, or dividing it into two factions, which would be war ring on each other all tjie time. The grievance that many All:- aueemen have against their organ is that it is said to be the personal organ of Livings ton, and this gen tleman’s methods are not the best, aud subject to general criticism, both in aud out of the order. Then the organ is said to have refused to publish matter for the Gordon ring of the Alliance, aud has not yet got into a good humor over its crushing defeat. .Should the dis satisfied Alliance start a new paper, it will cause a split iu the order without a doubt. The Recorder’s advice to this organization is that it ask Mr. Liv ingston to resign, with several oth er of his co-luborers. for there is a large element in the oganization that cannot get along with him. Unless the disaffected element cannot be pacified iu some way, either it or Mr. Livingston will wreck the Alliance. AMONG THE EDiTORS. Many Thames. From III* 1 Augusta Chronicle. We extend heartfelt sympathy to the Americus Recorder in tiie accident which happened to its of fice towel, and trust that another will soon be stiff enough for use. • Kow You’re Right. . From tiie Augu-la i hronlele. The Americus liviildingytod Loan Association, recently organized, is prospering. Tiie Columbus Enquirer-Bun, aueut the visit of Mr. Gould to Georgia, gets oil' several bright hits: “While Jason comes without a title, only a plain Mister, Governor Northen will do' Violence to tiie official proprieties if he does not promptly make him a Lieutenant Colonel.'' “He has a right snug interest, in most of tiie Georgia railroads, and, perhaps, has his eye uu'tlie others, purified aud vitalized, the aching j f 0 *™ free to say that it would f ® doubtless improve the condition of joints aud limbs rest easily and sevetal of them if he would kindly luletly, and a feelieg of serene I put his brand on several of them, What a Change Is wr&ught in people who sutler from rheumatism when they take Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

It wcuid be interesting if the Record would tell how it knows that passes are offered legislators “without solicitation.'' “If there were no oysters would life be worth living?" asks the Co- lumbus-Enquirer Suit.

The Chronicle’s esteemed contempora ry, the Constitution, will have to get a hump on its itself. it wouldn’t be a bad idea for tiie Atlanta Constitution to start an Americus department in its paper. Americus patronizes that paper very liberally, and gets very little in the way of Americus news from it. Mr. 1-'. B. Flight lias accepted the position of associate editor on the Athens Banner. Judging from tiie tone of his edit orials, one would think that Larry Gantt <loes not like playing second fiddle to Harry Brown on the Southern Alliance Farmer. I.AWVEKS. SIMMONS & KIMBROUGH.

Editor Guun gloriei in the spunk of the three men who refuse to vote for Gen. Palmer in the Illinois leg islature. As Palmer is the choice of a majority *.f tiie voters of Illi nois, aud the Democratic candi date, it would seem that Editor Gunn is impregnated with a good deal of independeutism. When the three men mentioned finally vote for some independent republi can, perhaps he will not rejoice much. Fr.

The man who is now its president is au unsafe leader, and he, himself, does not know whither he will go. The Tribune hopes that the movement begun iu Atlanta Thursday night will lead to the disposal of this man aud to the selection of a leader who will commend the respect of all classes. With this man out of the way, tiie smaller demagogues will soon follow* and sink into the ob- scruity from which they ought never to have been permitted to emerge. From the Macou Telegraph. It strikes us that Capt. Harry is in a rather difficult position, «ud it is fortunate for him that he has re cently acquired a partner who knows a thiugortwo. Telegram in Macon Telegraph. The breech in the Alliance be tween the Livingston and Southern Alliance Farmer faction and that branch of the party which de nounced t fie paper yesterday promises to stir up some lively de- velopmen s. Governor Nortlieu, who has heretofore been extremely silent 911 the subject, declared to day that the fight was evidently on aud that he was squarely in it. The object of his side, he said, would be to rebuke such usurpa tion as that indicated in this ex tract from an interview with Col. Livingston: “We have uovi’ prop erly elected and ready for au emergency a set of delegates repre senting each county Alliance in tiie State, who alone can convene for the purpose of discussing and concluding important matter- per taining to th- order, except those over which the executive committee and judicial committee, in connec tion with the president, have juris diction.” The governor pointed to another part of tiie interview, and -aid one i further object of the fight would be to expose su-h duplicity as f his quoting from Editor fiantt’s card : I “Our paper is not the organ ofihel piug-hat • r the anti "iihtreusury i branch of the Fanners’ Alliance. | We are \ utlling for tiie rights of i he ' woo*.hut aud iii,. on — - gal! u.- boy-, : and mi them \\e will rely for mir 1 support and our friend*.*’ Governor Northen next turned! Ills attention to the criticism, lit ■( tered in the card, of his using the j exeuntiv- mansion for “st-r chain- j ber" meeting*. He said that when | the mansion heeame too grand a j place for him to invite Alliammmen j to confer in about matters impor- I taut to their welfare, he would be ready to move out of it. As for the meetings not having been regularly i •.Hilled, the governor said nobody ! ever believed it to be an official con ference. “The feeling against C’ol. Livings ton and Editor Brown in the Alli ance has been quietly gathering vol ume for a long time time the legislature adjourned, sig nificant hints were thrown out by j an influential member of the order, j in the presence of the Telegraph corresjMH’dent, foreshadowing this | present trouble, even then the up rising had been determined on.
