Tue Republicans in Georgia think
they sce some encouragement in the sit
uation, and are even talking about hold
ing a State convention at the capital.
There hasn’t been such a cireus in Geor
giain several years, and it would be like
old times to see the menagerie collected
again under one canvas,
Tre alleged connection between Zyp
sies and tne nails used in the crucitixion
has frequently been referred to. It is
said that the tinkers are descendants of
the one who made the nails for the cross,
and are condemned to wander contin
ually without rest. This tradition is very
common in the highlands of Scotland.
“I¥ every human being on the Ameri
can continent were to be taken out of
existence,’” said the late Prof. Asa Gray,
“and the whole work of his hands were
cleared away, so that no trace remained
subsequent historians could prove that
the Caucassian race existed upon it by
the flowers that would be found growing
there.”’
ToE lightning struck a building in St.
Louis the other day just as a young man
was passing through a doorway over
which a horseshoe was nailed. The cur
rent passed to the horseshoe and thence
to the young man, striking him dumb.
Will the people who are in the habit of
hanging up a horseshoe over the door
way for good luok take notice.
SENTIMENT and seasickness do not go
together, as was discovered last week by
a California couple. They thought it
would be nice and romantic to be married
at sea as theend of an elopement, so
they tried it, on board a tug boat. It
chanced that the ocean was rough, so
that by the time the wedding party had
reached the 3-mile limit the bride, groom
and minister were all in a pitiable condi
tion of nausea., The groom was so sick
that he was unable to stand up. The
bride, however, made the necessary
responses, but the preacher was forced
to cut short the ceremony in order to
pay tribute to old Neptune.
Tur colored brother has lately been
giving abundant evidence ot Lis extreme
weariness with the Republican yoke.
Most of the present negroes were born
free, but even those who were not are
beginning to lose the sense of obligation’s
behest, because President Lincoln freed
them as an act of war on the Confeder
acy. Inseveral Northern states the Re
publican party retains favor simply be
cause of the negro vote, and yet the ne
gro mever gets an oftice worth speaking
of and seldom anything better than a
place as janitor. In the last two or three
years the negroes have held several con
ventions and declared that they would
stop voting the Republican ticket
unless they got some of the spoils of vie
tory. In increasing numbers they have
been voting the Democretic ticket, and
the experience of the race with the
Cleveland administration has convinced
all thinking men of color that a Demo
cratic national administration is not in
consistent with the happiness and well
being of the colored people.

Here is a story of Italian thrift: B.
Sansone, an enterprising Italian, arrived
in Atlanta three years ago, and looked
about for a suitable location tor a fruit
stand. His capital was small and he had
to begin on a small scale. He selected a
store opposite the police station and set
up a modest establishment. All night
and all day he kept his stand open,
catching all the stray nickels of the way
farers. Such industry always brings
success as its reward, aad the Italian
prospered. A few days ago he extended
his business, opening another store in
the Kiser building. Uis encrgy has kept
his success with him. Saturday he pur
chased the store of Daniel Bros.. at the
corner of Marietta and Broad streets.
paying $2,600 in cash for it. Sansone is
now proprictor of three estaolishments,
His thrifr, economy and enterprise paint
to the business man, no matter Gow ex
tensive his establishment is,

| WHAT DOES THIS MEAN 2
! From the Valdosta Times,
~ The Atlanta Constitution of the 4th
‘ins:. printed on its editorial page an ar
ticle signed “A Democrat,”” from which
we make the following extract:
“Then, again, will the South allow
these rottenborough delegates to make a
platform against the free coinage of sil
ver and put us on it and put an anti-free
coinage Wall street candidate up for us
to elect, when they are n~t able to give
him a single electoral vote. We say no;
forever no. Can the South be mustered
into the support of any anti-free coinage
man? Never, never. Let us go down on
principle and never yield to the tricky
policy iof tricky politicians: .. . ...
But if the nominating convention cannot
allow us a good Southern platform, and a
good man on it—such a man as Senator
hill, who does not antagonize free coin
age, then let the south, in a solid body,
nomina‘e such a man as Senator Morgan,
of Alabama, or some other man who can
carry the Solid South, and we may be
able to throw the election into the house
of representatives and thereby elect a
democrat.”
Heve is a bold break, made on the edi
torial page of the Constitution in the di
rection of another split like that made in
the Charleston Demoératic Convention
of 1860, which caused the election of
Lincoln, and brought on the war.
The Constltution has no word of dis
approval for this suicidal policy. The
proposition for the Southern Democracy
to split off from the Northern Democracy
and run Senator Morgan is the wildest
scheme yet suggested. It is wilder than
the Constitution’s proposition in 1890 for
the South to boycott the commercial
North.
The truth is, the Constitution has come
to see that its patron saint, David B.
Hill, stands no chance of capturing the
Democratic nomination, and it is goaded
by its failure into desperation. Its col
umns teem daily with abuse of the
greatest living Democrat, and praise for
politicians like Livingston and Hill,
There are three parties in Georgia to
day: The straightout Democracy, the
Third party and the Republican party.
Livingston and the Constitution stand
with neither and are practically without
a following,
JOKE ON TWO EDITORS,
The Cabman Who Played it Laughed and
So Will Other People. >
From the Washington Post.
Thousands of people cross the Hudson
river between New York and Jersey City
every day. Mostof them are content to
put up with the accommodations offered
by the big ferries which ply between
Gotham and this suburban city. It re
mained, however, for the southern edi
tors to fdispense with the comforts en
joyed by common people and introduce
a luxury that onlyjthe Southron can ap
preciate. The editors who inoculated
commonplace tourists with this expen
sive innovation were G, C. Matthews,
editoro the Memphis Appeal-A valanche,
and Migan W. Connally, editor of the
Memphis Ledger.
It all happened in this wise. The two
editors were in New York Friday aight
and wanted to take the midnight train
for Washington. They went down to the
ferry, and just as they jumped from a
cab heard a big gong strike. They saw
an old lady with a green cotfon umbrel-
Ia grab her handbag and rush for the
boat. Without stopping, to inquire, the
two editors rushed after her and board
ed the ferry, When they landed on the
Jersey shore they found that they were
four miles below the Pennsylvania depot.
A hackman said he would take them up
for 3. A bargain was struck, and the
editors were tucked in the carriage,
thinking they would have a pleasant
ride up the Harlem. The *cabby,” how
ever, knows a thing or two, and instead
of going up the river drove aboard the
ferry Lound for the New York side. and
when across drove ints another boat—
the ferry the editors should have taken
at first—and landed them safe at the sta
tion on the Jersey shore. It is needless
to remark that the tourists attracted at
tention aboard the ferry in a carriage,
and were mistaken for foreign noblemen
in disguise. The ride cost them %3 Go—
for the carringe and 60 cents for fer
riage. The Southerners now draw the
line at Jersey.

A MUDDLED CONDITION,
The Educational Interests of Clay County
in a Bad Fix.
ATLANTA, April 11.—State School
Commissioner Bradwell has under inves
tigation a petition from the county
teachers in Cay county that shows a
very muddled condition of school busi
ness there. The petition, which is signed
by thirty-eighit teachers, charges that the
common school fund is being unjustly
distributed in Clay county. It is set
forth that out of $3,150, the proportion
of the fund allowed the white schools of
the county, 2,200 is given to two town
schools and 5950 to the country schools,
It is also shown that there are about one
thousand attendance on the public
school of the county and that in round
numbers only 300 of these attend schools
in Fort Gaiues and Bluffton, and the two
town schools referred to. According to
this deal over two-thirds of the srhool
population rcsident in the county re
ceive less than one-third of the school
fund. Besidos this it is claimed that
pupils from Alabama attend the town
school in Fort Gaines, parficipating in
the school fund of this state. The two
town schools arc run as private schools.
From the reports on file, the educa
tional interest of Clay county arein a
bad fix. The grand jury indorsed the
work of the Board of Education in dis
tributing the fund as it stands, but this
is offset by evidence showing that out of
the twenty-four grandjurymen, all but
three were residents of Fort Gaines or
Bluffton. Commissioner Bradwell’s rul
ing will involve an important point in
school law,
