THE MONITOR. Published Every Thursday. Moseley & McGowan. Eds, and Props. 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.

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 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.
