TroMASYVILLE gave a ball in honor of
McKinley the other night. The report
that Captain John Triplett led the co
tillion lacks confirmation.
Gexenil Evans has accepted an invi
%ation to deliver the memorial address in
Wscon The man and the occasion will
mmeet on that day. The ladies of Macon
are to be congratulated on their choice.
HoN. F. G. puBIeNoN, of Savannah,
has accepted an invitation to deliver a
literary address in Richland, on May
23rd, at the close of the public schools
Qur Richland n2ighbors are going to
have a rare treat.
Tug Japanese have been lucky enough
in their war with China not to have any
inclination to swear, but they could not
swear if they wanted to. Profane words
are said to be entirely unknown in the
Japanese language, and the people of
gkat country do not swear.
Epitor LoyLuss, of the Macon News, is
Jisturbed because, in describing the
female evaugelist, we said she had a *‘set
ded sober look.” We would inform
Bditor Loyless that a person with a
seber look is not a novelty in Dawson. A
Brewesy is not our best paying industry.
TrURsTON, the minister from Hawair
kas been talking too much and Secretary
Gresham has asked for his recall. Sery
ed him right. No representative from a
Bittle one-horse republic should be per
wmattted to wmake remarks about Uncle
Sam. Let Thurston be sent home in a
&urry.
%ir is said at Washington that very little
§giction is being encountered by the in
come tax officials. Reports for February
have been received from nearly all of the
wollectors throughout the country, and
they are said to show a satisfactory ac
quiescence on the part of taxpayers in all
@f the requirements governing the col
lection of the tax.
Fur literary efforts of Messrs. Brown
and Stahlman in the matter of their
Western and Atlantic railroad attorney
ship dispute, must be very gratifying, 1n
a semse, to both gentlemen. Their es
says, so far, have shown that each pos
sesses an enviable scope of language,
and a delicacy of expression that doesn’t
lack for directness because it is delicate.
Tux south is goinz to be Yankeeized
yei. Talk of the colonization in the
south of the men who went on the strike
at Pallman, [ll., last summer, is again rife
in Chicago. Itissaid an industnal col
ouy, one of the features of which will be
= car building plant. will be established,
probably in Alabama or Tennessee, or
maybe in Georgia. Everything about
the calony is to be run on a co-operative
plam. Just where the wmoney is to come
from to estadlish the plan is not explain
ed.
Disparcues from Mexico state that
the colony of 1,000 negroes recently es
tabiished at Mapimi has proved a failure,
wud the population has gone to pieces.
Many of these negroes went from Geor
gia and Alabama. They are now so anx
ious to get back to their homes that the
wen, women and children will attempt
to walk the weary distance. They wil
e better off than the poor negroes who
started on the Horsa from Savannah to
Liberta last week. These will long to
get back, but as they cannot walk the
distance tuey will be doomed to suffer
«n Liberian soil.
IN seveu states—Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, New JSersey, Delaware,
Aississippi and Louisiana--the judges
‘are 2ppointed by the governor, and in
three of these states——Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Delaware—the
judges bold (ffice during good bebavior.
in six other states—Connecticut, Rhode
island, Vermost, Virginia, South Caro
lima and Georgia—the legislature choose
the judges. In all of the rest of the
states the judiciary is elected by the
people. Twice within a year the New
Jersey legislature has passed a bill mak
dag the judiciary elective instead of ap
‘pusative, and both times Governor Werts
%axs vetoed it. As Georgia is more than
likéiy te have a change in the mode of
elécting her judiciary before a great
‘while, it might be well enough to begin
astady of the matter and determine
:d!:ich one of the systems shall be adopt-

All legal advertisements published in
Tur NEws must be paid for, hereafter, in l
advance. The officers, as well as the|
publisher, have experienced considerable
trouble in making collections for official l
notices,and in a number of instances have i
been unable to collect at all, This rule !
will strictly be adhered to, and to avoid |
delay and trouble all interested should, "
in the future, send the cash with the
copy for such advertisements. |
ABOUT PENSIONS. |
There appears to be a rush of appli
cants all over Georgia for pensions under
the late law granting aid to old, infirm
and poverty-stricken soldiers. There are
said to be no less than 5,000 men seeking
contribution to their support from the
state under that act, and it has been
found necessary by the executive depart
ment to provide special forms of affida
vits and lists of questions governoring
applica'i ns. The interrogations, which
were especially prepared to meet the
exigencies of the present emergency, are
intended and expected to weed a wide
row in the large number of applicants
for the benefit of the new law, and ex
clude a very large number who do not
come under its provisions.
This is tast becoming a pension ridden
government, both state and federal, and
Tue NEws is glad to see at least a dispo
sition to check this intended raid
upon the treasury of an already bur
dened people by healthy and able b)died
men who, while not entitled to help, are
all too anxious to become beneficiaries
of the state.
Of course there are hundreds of old
soldiers who are entitled to and will re
ceive a bounty. The people esteem it a
duty and a pleasur: to contribute to their
welfare and happiness in their declining
days, but it is time to call a halt to the
growing abuse of our pension laws.
SRR e
AN ALABAMA COLONEL ASTRAY.
Alabama has colonels galjre, political
and otherwise, One of ‘he otherwise
variety, whojgave the name of Gustav
Yuma McClure, turned up among the
drunks and disorderlies in a N ew York
police court a day or two ago. He said
he had traveled from Alabama toNew
York by way of San Francisco, because
a ticket ageot had told him that was the
shortest route. An index to his person
ality is offered by this description of his
outfit: “He wore an immense sombrero,
an overcoat lined with coonskins, a
whisky stained shirt ornamented with
three large diamonds, and his watch was
{fastened with a diamond chain, which
he proudly declared was the only one in
the world. He bad also large diamonds
on Ins fingers and a 41 calibre revolver
in his pocket to guard this array of jew
elry. T. comple his outfit he had one of
the hairless Mexican dogs about the size
of a rat.”” The indications are that this
Alabamian with the mixed name went to
New York to have a good time; also,
that he had it.
Editor Jelks should look afier this
richly bedecked and wandering colonel.
He and Kolb would make a pair to draw
to--in a dime museum.
Tae supposed arguments of these
goldbug folks are wearysome. Listen
at this from the Buena Vista Patriot:
“Some lenders of money are now, ac
cording to the Atlanta Constitution,
stipulating in the notes that it is to be
paid in gold. This is the result of the
free silver craze. Men with money do
not like to loan it oat and then take it
back in fifty cents dollars. They want
to get as much money back as they let
out, wih the interest added.”” In the
saiae issue of the Patriot Editor Christo
pher wept gobs of grief because delir
quen‘s were not filling his pcckets with
these fifty cents dollars. He would re
ceieve them just as quickly as he would
gold dollars, and praise the Lord for the
opportunity.
JoLONEL LHON LIVINGSTON is now a
very great man. In addition to engineer
ing a salary grab thrcugh congress with
the help of the vote of our own Bright
Ben Russell, he laid down the law which
is to control our government in dealing
with the wrangle between England and
Venezuela. Congress is too small a field
for Livingston. He ought to be put where
his magnificent abilities would have
wider range.
THE press dispatches seem deterained
tr convince veaders that Garza, the
Mexican revolutionists is dead; that he
was killed at Bacos del Toro. But a
suspicious public will await develop
ment. Garza has been frequently killed
before.
“HAVE you registered?’ is the morn
ing salutation in Augusta. It is said
that the populists are out registering the
democrats ten to one. |
LESS POL/ TICS—MORE BUSINESS.
“Less of politics—more of business’
is being universally adopted in the south,
says the Manufacturers’ Record. The
people of this section have now turned I
their attenvion to the utihzation of the
blessings which nature has uiven them '
with greater energy than ever before. |
I'hey are determined that nothing shail
stand in the way of the fullest develop
ment of their country; that every eneray
shall be spent to accomplish this purpose.
1f the press and the people of the
south will unite on this line—‘less of
politics and more of business’'—deter
mined that in extending to capital and
settlers an invitation to their {country a
proper reception and wise and equitable
laws shall be guaranteed to them, the
south will draw many thousands of
settlers and many millions of dollars.
The business men in the south, how
ever, in taking up this move and :sking
the co-operation of the local press, must
remember that a duty devolves upon
them also in giving to the southern press ‘
their most liberal support and encour
‘agement, Live, progressive papers
canuot be published except in live, pro
gressive towns where the value of news
papers is fully appreciated, and where
‘the necessity of liberal advertising 1s
understood. Tf the business men of the
{south will give aliberal encouragement.
to their lccal papeys they may count
upon the heartiest work in behalf of the
south on the part of the southein press.
Tre Savannah News thinks it ‘‘very
unfortunate about all of those Spanish-
American wars and revolutions. 1%
seems that almost every country to the
south of us is engaged in fighting or pre
paring to fight; and there is the At
lJanta exposition, in which they have
about all promised to participate, only a
few months off. The southerners will
keep their exposition engagements, pre
sumably, still it would be very embar
rassing to haye them come up with gore
on their boots and smell of burnt gun
powder on their uniforms.”
Goy. McKIxLEY's traveling compan
ions in the sovth are of the stamp to gain
the most distinguisbed consideration
from southern republican leaders.
Among those with whom he has been
hobnobbing, while enjoying the balmy
atmosphere of Thomasville, are Mr.
Hanna, of Cleveland, a millioniare;
Mr. Kohisaat, of Chicago, another
millioniare, and {severa! other very rich
men.
Gov. ATKINsON's silence with regard
to the tenth district special election
must be rather disappointing to those
politicians who desire to take the
stump for lung exercise. The
consideration of the governor for the
people who would be expected listen
while the ail was made thick with the
eloquence of these statesmen is com
mendable.
PIKE county is certainly a very dry
place, judging from the quarterly report
just made by the dispensary located in
Barnesville. Pike is said to be a “‘dry”
county. Liquor can only be had at the
“tank’ in Barnesville, aad only them
for medical or mechanical purposes, and
yet it is evident that $lO,OOO worth of
liquor passes through the tank annually.
THE farmers are not going to the guann
dealers this year and, with eyes full of
tears, begging to be permitted to buy
some of the crop invigorator. The deal
ers are hustling to sell their goods. In
the fall the farmers will be better off for
It.

““The Beautiful Models of 2aris,”” in
the March CosMoOPOLITAN, satisfy a long
felt curiosity in regard to the women who
have been posing for the werld’s famous
paintings. THE CosmoroLlTAN has
carefully gathered a collection of themost
famous of these portraits and used bem
to illustrate an interesting article by a
distinguished French critic, Fr. Thie
bault Sisson. Nor does the beauty of the
originals fall short of the ideal on the
painter's canvas. In the same pumber is
a delightful article about the famed sea
girt isle, for so many centuries a fortress
and prison—Mont-Saint Mitchel, ‘‘Pearl-
Diving and Its Perils,” by an Eoglish
naval officer, written from personal
experieuces, is perhaps the most thrill
ing tale of exploration of the ocean’s
depths ever put on paper. The fiction of |
this number is unusually entertaining.
