SHORT EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Wall street and the train robbers ure not near the bugbears they used to be. Osceola, the celebrated Indian chieftain, was born in Georgia and died in prison in one of the Charles ton forts. Gubernatorial and Senatorial can didates continue to crop ont in Geor gia. Some of them will lie nipped by an early frost. A New York workman fell 122 feet to the pavement below. Like all other workmen who fall that dis tance lie was killed. In his letter to Gov. Northcn Mr. Cleveland confesses his astonish ment at the opposition to prompt ac tion in the Senate on the financial question. The Goddess of Liberty was over heard last night crooning mournfully. Senate, I am growing old, too mauy silver threads among the gold Washington News. Hale's Weekly says that “if Mr. Cleveland had to pick cotton at 35 cents a hundred to buy the baby a dress lie would be yelling for free silver as big as anybody.” An exchange says that the Catho lics will have control of this govern ment in less than twenty years.— Why threaten us with a new danger; We thought the country had trouble enough already. Despite bii3iuess depression, en couraging news comes from Savan nah that on the 18th thirty-eight vessels were there loading or await ing cargoes. Eleven or them carried cotton to foreign ports. Doctor M. A. Cheek, of Orange ceunty, North Carolina, is the most enterprising and wealthy business man in Siam. He is a lumber king, runs steamboats and owns a berd of 185 elephants, worth $1000 apiece. The New Y'ork Tribune bas un dertaken tlie. task of showing bow to distinguish mush-rooms from toad stools. If it is to be on the line of the Trihune’s iden of politics, how ever, the people had better stick to the good old plan of eating the fun gus and trusting to luck.—Chronicle. The national Democratic conven tion formulated a platform, Mr. Cleveland was elected upon that platform, lie indorses it, he is en deavoring to carry it out to the letter. What more can he do? What more coaid the party expect him to do? Brethren of the press, some of you are allowing the enemies of the par ty to put wards of doubt in your months. Be not misled. A master mind is at the head of the party. He is our leader, our guide. He will lead us right. There if uo cause for doubt.—Capitol. It is said Speaker Reed's pen nets him from 82,000 to 83,000 every year outside of bis salary as a Con gressman. He commands bis own price and bis market is always wait ing for liim. If it were not for the fruits of bis magazine articles, Reed would enjoy very few of the super fluities of life. He lias no other in come outside of bis pay as Rejiresen- tative. The cotton display at the World's Fair bas- completely demolished the idea that India and Egypt and South ern Russia might become serions competitors in the aggregate or sing ly with the United States cotton growers in the world’s markets. Mr. Sbeppcrson, the well known ex pert, who had charge of the exhibits settles the matter by saying that the quality of the Asiatic and African cottons forbids their ever seriously interfering with the American pro duct. Moral- Plant more cotton and trust to luck for your provisions. The south bos plenty of political leaders Such as they are. The cheapness of silver has Us type in the eloquence or the Senate. Mr. Cleveland’s last message does not seem to be giving general satis faction. Notwithstanding that the Rio rebels arc at sea< they seem to be gaining grounds. . It don't acquire search lights to discover senatorial and gubernational timber Georgia. Over one-fifth of the entire popu lation of the United States have vis ited the world’s fair. The New York Sun has an idea that the repeal bill will pass the bouse of Lords about Nov. 1st. Massachusetts bad a snow storm last week, We’d like to see the tail end of-of a snow flake down this way. “All talk along the Potomac. And the patience of the people is be ing sorely tried,” says tbe Eastern Argus. Just suppose that three or four more like Serator Stewart had got loose from the drove at the same time he did. Like the street cars, the bicycles have come to stay. Pretty soon we will wonder how we ever’got along without them. There are over three hundred moun tain peaks within the limits of the Uni’ed States that exceed 10,000 feet in height. . The Prince of Wales has seven teen brothers-in-law, sixteen uncles, fifty-seven cousins and fifty-eight nephews and nieces. It is said that Airs. Frank Leslie is to be married soon, and tbe Atlan ta Journal advises the happy man to take out a marriage license warren- ted for two years. A Kentucky farmer has been fined 8100 for kissing a neighbor's wife. It would liave cost him twice that amount in Georgia on account of the superiority of tbe article. The hard times in the United Stales seems likely to solve the im migration problem; the nnmtfer of departures of foreigners now exceeds the number of arrivals, it is said. Private Secretary Thurber, by tbe president’s direction, has written to Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, that tbe president will probably be unable to be present at tbe world’s fair Oct. Dtb, Chicago day. •Our recent railroad disasters, wbieli have been quite numerous and shocking, appear like trifles compared with the loss of the Russian iron monitor, in the Gulf of Finland a few days ago, whereby about 175 persons are supposed to have per ished. The condition of affairs in Brazil is not only somewhat serions, but it is also quite peculiar. It seems a strange state of things to see the na vy in revolt while the army remains loyal. It is, however, a history that repeats itself, the situation being quite similar to that in Chili two years ago. The doctors in Washington may continue to differ bat we still contend that tbe disease is caused by a short ness of cash. Remove tbe cause and the effect will cease. In other words, give tbe country a circulating me dium of some kind and all will be well in twenty days. This little clipping is going the rounds. It is chock fall of good sense: “Listen, ob, maiden; yon who are too delicate to assist the mother in her household work. An average waltz takes a dancer over about three-quarters of a mile. A girl with a well-filled program travels 11J miles in one evening." Dr. Brunner, the health officer of Savannah, is of the opinion that the cool spell will have any particular effect upon the fever at Brunswick, as the cool weather is not likely to last. He thinks Brunswick is in for another month of the fever at least, unless there is a heavy frost dariDg October. While the men in Kansas are tear ing np the .political platforms, some of the women who are police justices are maintaining law and order. One tramp was sentenced to two baths a day for ten days, besides exercise on tbe stone pile. If" this reform practice would extend to all police courts the tramp question would find solution—Ram’s Horn. • The rate of suicides is rapidly in creasing over the world. The revolution in Brazil is spread ing and gaining strength steadily. “They say iiTNew York that we will have forgotten tbe panic sixty days from now/* Senator Stewarts’ attack upon Mr. Cleveland is not being endorsed by tbe other members of the Senate. “Senatorial Courtesy” seems to be the circulating medium in the Senate, and besides they have the silver ring. Thc-^man who wrote “After the Ball,” is making $1,000 a day. And yet some old philosopher once said the way of the transgressor is hard. Some of the turned—down at Washington might make application for the position of Emperor of Brazil, which stands a chance of being es tablished. It seems that correspondent Eagen still holds the fort in Brunswick and that the Savannah Press is sticking to him. Brunswick has much to con tend against. A missionary, who recently escap ed from Central Africa, says that some of the natives are embarrass ingly hospitable. Several chiefs were continually wauting to have him for dinner. On account of severe damages caused by the recent storm along the Southern Atlantic coast, it is doubt ful if the South Carolina phosphate works will be in operation in time for the next guano season. How Senator Colquitt can oppose the unconditional repeal of the Sher man law is a mjstery to most people in the South. Perhaps Senator Col quitt realizing this is his last term in the Senate, is disposed to show bis hand plainly. The annual report of the Attorney General of Michigan states that one of every 100 of the States inhabitants was arrested ou a criminal charge, while one of every 150 was convicted. The report is pretty hard on Michi gan. The human hair is absolutely the most profitable crop that grows. Five tons of it are annually imported by the merchants of London. The Parisians harvest upward of 200,000 pounds, equal iu value to 80,000 English pounds per annum. The French language it appears, is better adapted to the purpose of tha telephone than the English. It is stated that the large number of sibilant or hiss syllables in English renders it a less easy and accurate means of communication. The Democratic party has under gone worse dissensions in its ranks than those arising over the silver question and has survived them. It will not only survive the differences arising from the silver question, but will settle the silver question in a statesmanlike way, and will be stronger than ever. Jerry Simpson has less feeling for the people than we thought possible. His request that eaeh member of con gress should be supplied with one hundred copies of the Congressional Record to send out to his constituents is premeditated cruelty to a long-suf fering people. Let Jerry be suppress ed, The Savannah Press, referring to Mr. duBignon’a statement that he would announce his candidacy for the United States Senate at the proper time says hi^ friends are merely awaiting the word to rally to his sup port. We thought Mr. duBignon had announced his candidacy about half a dozen times. About the only weasness that Sen ator Hill shares with common hu manity is his fondness for base ball. Mr. Goman is also a crank, and the two senators may be^scen at nearly every game played on the Washing ton grounds, “rooting” for the home team, which must be a discouraging task, considering tbe way the Wash ington club is playing this year. There is a popular restaurant in New York where the proprietor in vites everybody to eat v all he wants, and leaves it to the customer’s honesty to pay what be thinks is right for it at the desk as he goes out. There are no checks, no detective, no bouncer, no floor walker. And the commonest kind of a man is said to feel that he can’t afford to make an exception of himself by cheating the establishment. This office for fine job printing. OURSELVES AND NFIGPBORS. Clinch Superior Court convene day. 3Ir. W. A. McNeil has been appoint-* ed postmaster 'at Waycross. “Tobc” McNeil will make a model p. m. In fact he’s all right and competent to fill any position to which he might aspire. —Thomasville Times. Mr. W. A. McNeil has been formally appointed postmaster at Waycross. “Tobe’s” many friends in Quitman and Brooks will be glad to know that he has “got there.”—Quitman Free Press. A north Georgia editor advertises the fact that he needs a suit of clothes, a pair of shoes and a hat, and asks the merchants of the town to bid on tlie lot. He says that’s the way they do him when they want printing done. He’s a and has brains besides. Mr. J. W. Moore an old citize Mitchell county committed suicid Saturday last by cutting his throat his pocket knife. He had worried the hard times until his mind unsettled. The Johnson News is about to change hands. If a change means “betterments” let her come. A downtown colored man named A.F. Land parts his name in the middle, thus: “A. Faraway Land.”—Rome Tribune. The man who takes the lead in heal ing the factional bitterness in the demo cratic party in Florida and succeeds, will he doing the state a service that should he commemorated in Parian mar ble.—Capitol. The Thomasville Times wants the game law changed. It says that it al lows b'rd shooting too early and that the birds are killed before the visitors come. We suppose the birds are only for the visitors. Had’nt you better make it a penal offense for countryman to shoot birds?—Boston World. A number of murderers are confined in Thomas county jail. It is to be hoped that none of them will be liberated through angelic influences.—Boston World. Tampa’s fish business amounted to over $200,000 last season, and the pros pects are good that these figures will be much^larger at the end - of tlie present season.-^Times The pecan crop is very abundant in Tallahassee this year and. the nuts are ripening fast. Many of the trees are droopping under the load and even now the small boy’s fingers are discolored with a stain that he cannot wash off. Mr. Rober’ B. Gorman was last Tues day confirmed by the United States Sen ate as postmaster of Tallahassee. \ When a Certain Peachtree street doc tor was asked recently if one of his pa tients was out of danger, he is said to have replied: “Well, I can hardly I can’t positively state lie is quite out of danger, but he—hut he is dead, lanta Herald. t<> _ Joseph S.Nortox.
