Gov. Atkinson and the state
depositories are having a clash.
The Governor, under a law pass
ed several years ago, is demand
ing of the Banks, which are de
positories for the States money, in
terest on the same whils on de
posit. This the banks do not
waht to pay, and so exprass them
selves. The clash may result in
taking the money from ihess dif
ferent depositories, and centering
it All in Atlanta, at the State treas
ury./ Ws think the Governor is
tight ia. this mat or, and if the
banks want to ns* the money they
should pay the interest.
or. this week the i ation
nl X linn's suffrage convention,
Th'ee women are olamoiing for the
right to vote, so as to ho able to
to like a hated in the politioal con
tests of the f n ture. We do not
believe in woman's suffrage, as
being mixed up in a modem politi
cal cutnp.iiga is the last place we
would want to see them in. Then
if they had a right to vote, under
the constitution, they would have
work toads, eit on jniicx, pay poll
tax. and all tliene tLings fiom which
tby era now excn.pt. Women
arc* too pure for tliete latter day
politics.

It prints more such matter as is ordinarily found iu the great magazines of the country than can begOttOl

i Is eagerly sought by the children, contains valuable information for the mother, and fe an enOfStt*
psdift of instruction for every member of the household.
the Monitor's judgment, Mr,
Cleveland disregards the voice of
the people and playing second fiddle
to the national banks. Bonds in
crease our gold paying debt and
gives no relief to the people. The
silver is on hand, and if paid out
equally with gold tbe drain on tho
treasury would cease. The country
is clamoring for the recognition of
silver, and Mr. Cleveland should
heed the call.
Congress has re!used to consider
the bond message seriously, and it
is impossible to got legitdati >ll asked
for. Unless something is done, Mr.
t loveland will authorize another
bond issue, and the fun with t.hc
treasury will continue. Will it
never stop?

A TRUE GENTLEMAN.
If you want a true man, don't look
lor him on the crest of the wave
of success, but in the trough *f the
sea as he fights back the blinding
spray.
If you want a true man pass the
flower-bordered walks of ease and
look for him who picks his way
with bleeding feet over the cruel
stones that lie along the upward
path.
If you w ant a true man, look not
when the sun shines fair hut watch
for his face in the blinding flaeh
out of the dark night.
If you want a true man, look
for him who stoops under his heav
y load to lighten the jburden of the

If you want a true man, look

his fellow man has not been al

2d. Tariff Reform,

A “I Wish I Had” Book.
A clever woman —I cannot remem
ber whether she lived in a story or
out of one—has suggested a way
whereby next year and the year aft
er that and the year after that and
on birthdays iw well as at Christ
mas tho welcome gift can always
bo bestowed, and that is by the use
of an “I Wish I Had” hook. In this
book are to ho kept the expressed
wishes of friends for this, that and
the other as they occur during the
year, and when the gift season comes
ono lias only to refer to it, select the
longing that one can afford to pay
for, buy it if one can find it, and the
trouble of walking miles to discover
something that John or Mary or
Tom might want is escaped as well
as your disappointment at finding
that you had not bought anything
that gave pleasure.—Chicago Post.
Arabella.
I think it will be generally agreed
that, the names of Arabella and Au
nabellaliavo not as yet received any
satisfactory explanation. I venture
to suggest that they may both find
their origin, by simple change of
liquid, in an early woman’s name,
Amabilla, occurring in the “Libre
Vitos” of Durham. This is evidently
from the Latin ama bills, so that three
names, Arabella, Annabella and Ma
bel, may all be referred to one com
mon origin.—Notes and Queries.
Selecting Judges.
Dr. Franklin thought that judges
ought to ho appointed by lawyers,
for, added the shrewd man, in Scot
land, where this practice prevails,
they always select the ablest mem
ber of the profession, in ordez_t£ get
rid of him and share his practice
among themselves.—Green Bag.
