the bantiuet ceremonies.
This will prove a brilliant gathering
of Mercer's sons, and will attract a
large proportion of alumni from all
parts of tho country. Several classes
havo also agreed to hold reunions, nnd
the rsllroads win give reduced rates
to visitors.
In view of thesa extensive propane
tlons, the ovent will provo mcmorablo
. In tho history of the Institution and tho
annals of this city. Macon w in bo
honored and Mercer will be Invested
with now glory.
The Telegraph Is keenly alive to tbe
Importance of the event, and proposes
to attest Its Interest by Issuing on tho
morning of June 6 a special Mercer
edition, which will contain the most
completo report ever accorded a col
lege commencement In this state. The
blie of tho edition wlll.be Increased to
meet tho demands of tho occasion and
the Institution. Already an out-of-
town order hna been received for one
thousand extra copies of this edition,
and It Is safe to ssy that^no paper ever
published In Georgia will appeal to a
larger or more enthusiastic constitu
ency than this special Issue of The
Telegraph.
It la tho purpose of the manage
ment to make tlila edition of the paper
as attraetlvo ns posslhie and truly rep
resentative of tho city In every way.
and to this end will offer the ruer*'
chants and manufacturers of Macon
an opportunity to make their an
nouncements In Its columns. It Is an
opportunity of n lifetime and should
not be lost. It will ho tho official or
gan of the Institution for that occasion,
nnd Its Importance cannot be over-
rstlmated.
The publication of such, a paper In
volves a great amount of extra work,
and In order that It may be done well.
It will be necessary to prepare much
of the matter In advance. It Is uiged,
therefore, that those who contemplate
representation In this edition should
set promptly during the coming week.
Representatives of the paper will call
oa the merchants, and news dealers
are requested to send In their orders
as early an possible.
Of course. The Telegraph will con
tain, besides lhe special reports sug
gested above, ibo usual amount of
news and other special matter that
make It lhe most Interesting dally In
tbe South.
Improving Hoslnesa.
Tho reporters of the Telegraph
discussed the husinwv situation
with lhe merchants of Macon yester
day and almost without exception the
report was that the Him four months
of U37 havo shown a .emit improve
ment. in trade .over that of the w, m e
period last,year. Everybody neatly

The DdbUn Courier states tho fee-; sil
ver position frankly andcfrarly when It
•declare* that they do not believe In
asurlng silver according to Its cpnj;
elal ratio fto gold) which Is the view
held by Mr. Cleveland. John Bhfrman,
Carlisle. McKinleyt and gold bugs gen
erally."
A great many of the advocates of the
eflvcr sttndjrd chirer befog the Is-ue
because they do not und-rstand their
own position, or, understanding It, they
before tt because they know K is un
tenable. But there Is enrdber cla>« who
are dl-pes-d to b■ candid about it, and
who do not hcafate to declare the true
doctrine of free silver, a* In tho Ore-
going extract from our Dublin contem
porary.
Ills well known that Know requires
about thirty-two pounds of bullion .di
ver to be equal to one pound of bullion
r- ii in the market*. Therefore, tbe
commercial ratio Is 32 to 1. Upon the
advice of Jefferson, which waa In ac
cord with the experience of mankind,
congress looked Into the markets of
tho world and found the true ratio be
tween gold and Oliver—“which wee alto
gether a mercantile proposition”—and
establish'd the coinage rwllo of 16 to
I because It was tho commercial ratio.
The silver In tbe silver dollar was
m/asurvd by the gold in the gold dol
lar. Sixteen measures by we'gfct of the
one being equal to one of 1he other.
Tho very phrase "16 to 1” confesses the
measurement ef the "16" parts by the
“I" part, eho why ebouH there b; any
ratio «t al!7 There was n time In the
history of tire coinage of silver when
tin ratio between tho two metals was
t lo 1—because In those days four
pounds of silver' were worth as much
ns one pound of gold. Later'lhe coin
age ratio was 10 lo 1. because ten
pounds of silver weto worth one pound
of gold. LwOtr still, the rtlflu was 16 to
1. because sixteen pounds of silver were
worth one pound of gold. Now It re
quires 32 pounds of Oliver to equal In
value one pound of gold. But a new
school of financiers have come forward
who do not believe In "measuring silver
aocordlng to Hs commercial ratio"—to
gold. They pretend 'that sliver has
some kind of divine right to occupy a
relationship to gold In the sixteenth de
er ", without ngnrd to th- laws or
commerce and common sense, and In
..p.le of the law of Gresham. The "1C to
1" phrase Me used as a sort of hocus-
pocus Incantation with which to hoo
doo Hi® masses.
If these Jugglers in flnancc do not ht'
Move In measuring silver by gold, why
mike any port of claim to any ratio?
When they declare their undying faith
nnd devotion to the radio of "16 to T
what do they mean hy H7 Sixteen parts
of silver to one—what? Ono part of
gold, of course. Which la the govern
ing factor In the ratio, tho "16" or the
"1?" Is the "1" compared to tho "18"
or tho "16" to the "17” Which Is the
measure, the "16" or the "1?" Which Is
measured, the "1" or tho “16?"—that
which the "1" stands for, or that
which the "16" represents?" These aro
queatlons which should cxclt* a little
thought on .the part of those )vho wish
their country well.
Is It not truo that the "1” In the ratio
which stands for gold has remained Rx
>"| .uil mi -hang 1 since the days when
the ratio waa 6 to 1? Has not tho gold
end. so lo speak, of the ratio held Its
ground through the centuries, and has
not tho other—tho silver end—traveled
up and down tho scale from
32 In the ratio?
When a silver men says he favors
the ratio of 16 to 1, what docs ho
mean? If ho means anything, lie means
that >.e la In favor of measuring (he
silver that Is to go In a. silver dol
lar by the gold In a gold dol
lar as 16 Is to 1. which la no mea*.
urement at all, because there Is
no ouch ratio, tho ratio of value be
Ing 32 to 1. Therefore, the demand for
the further colnago of silver at tho ra'
tlo of it to 1 lo an arbitrary thing—
without reason or common sense liC'
hind It. It Is a pretext to enter tho
wedge for the divorcement of the rein
lions between tho two metals In tho In
terest of tho cheaper, becauso the pro
motors of theschcmo thoroughly unden
stand the Inexorable rule of the Gresh
am law. which forces the dearer mopey
metal out of circulation when advan
tage Is given lo the cheaper. The Intern
tlon la to drive gold out, and make sil
ver the standard. Tho forced, coinage
of silver at an arbitrary ratio ami
without refercnco to tho commercial
relation to gold would accomplish the
end nt a hound. Tills Is tho purpose In
view. It waa Illy concealed nt first and
fooled many, but the real object la
pretty generally confessed now.
And It Is well, because It Is proper
that we should have a full undemand
ing about these., matters aa we go
along. Since the last campaign Japan
In tho Orient, Chill and. Peru lo the
south and Russia in the rest have put
the silver propaganda behind them,

The fifty-third annual meeting of the
American Medlco-Psychdioglcal Amo-
elation, at which Dr. Theophl-
Powell of Georgia pre
sled, was held in Baltimore last
week, and his annual address
was one of tho most notable events of
lhe occttlon. Dr. Powell is lhe tuper-
Intcndent of tho state asylum at Mll-
ledgevillo and Is also president of tho
Southern Association of Hospital* for
tlie Insine, and. by virtue of his offi
cial positions a* well as of hia learning
and skill, In among the foremost of
American alienists. Dr. Powell's ad
dress waa devoted to "A Sketch of Psy
chiatry In the Southern States." He
said lhe first asylum exclusively for
the insane was established at Will
iamsburg, Va„ in 1763. He then, ac
cording to (he Baltimore Sun's report,
traced thp evolution of "madhouses"
to hospitals for the ltwane, and of lay
superintendents to resident physi
cians or medical superintendents. In
J860, he said, the only states > of the
South' which had not found asylums
were Florida and Arkansas. During
the gear and the following reconstruc
tion period he noted that no knowledge
could be found of any Insane hospital,
save one, being closed.
Dr. Powell recorded the fact that the
first care of colored Insane was made
by South Carolina as early as 1715. Prior
to the civil war colored patients were
admitted to asylums In Virginia, Ken
tucky, South Carolina, Maryland, Lou
isiana and the district of Columbia.
The pioneers in the care of lunatic
negroes, ho said, were Drs. Strlblirg
and Galt.of Virginia, Chlpley of Ken
tucky, Trexevant and Parker of South
Carolina. Steuart of Maryland and
Nichols of the District of Columbia.
"Following their emancipation." he
said, "the rfegroes had become subject
to the same penalties that other races
■have paid for liberty. license and In
temperance. A recent estimate based
upon tha records at the census office
shows that brain, disease in the negro
as compared with the whites haa In
creased from one-fifth as common in
1856 and 1860 to one-third as common
In 1870 and one-halt ns common In
1880 and 1830. The ratio of Insanity per
million among the negroes haa risen
ICO In 1880 to 8f6 ln 1830." Among
the avances ln treating tho lhfeane Dr.
Powell noted the abandonment of me
chanical and chemical restraints. Also
he mentioned Improved accommoda
tions. greater extension ef liberty to pa
tients, hospital bui’omg* for lhe fee-
bio and sick, better night supervision,
training schools for nurses, colonlia-
tlon of "patients, amusements and oc
cupations of various , kinds pnd tho
adoption of the cottage plan as more
homelike. “It la time," conllhued Mr.
Powell, "to combat the evil as well as
deploro the relegation of Insane hos
pitals to the political spoilsman. The
public muat foe taught that our hos
pitals cannot become the centres of
scientific research and be truly progres
sive and IcuratiVc Institutions unless
their physicians are encourageds and
assured of permanent tenuyo of office."
Few men have tho opportunity which
Dr. Powell enjoy* to study tho Insane,
for at MlUedgevilie he haa no less than
3,100 patients under hia daily care, and
the etwees* of his administration Is
gratifying to all' the people of Georgia.
HI* address at Baltimore, whiio deliv
ered especially for tho benefit of his
scientific colleagues, has a great public
Interests because of that portion of It
which .1* devoted to tho consideration
of Insanity among the negroes. It-the
Increase of Insanity has been so great
within tho ktst- thlrty^eycu years, the
indications are Hut I* will not be a
great while before the states will have
to build mors ssylums for the negroes,
ln the meantime, another Interesting
subject for students of our sociological
problems Is submitted.

It It were not for the fact that Pro
fessor Barnard, who Is showing his new
airship at the Tennessee centennial,
m.ik's the claim that he has accom-
Pll-bed a partial solution of lhe scien
tific problem of aerial navigation, wc
might let the "attraction" pass with
out any criticism. As Jt Is, wa are
rather inclined to admire the genius
of the person In charge of the Vanity
Pair annex in developing this "draw
ing card" than to extol rhe scientific
attainment* of the exceedingly clever
Professor Barnard. Unquestionably
there la an aerial vehicle which

away through tb* vkle* and which may
be turned round and found. It Is
very Vrettv spectacle and quite worth
the price of admission. But the reader
of the accounts of the p ruler tor's voy
ago, Is always Informed that the wlnd-
currenta were a trifle too strong for
the ship to make headway against
them, and that ."after drifting for
twelve miles" the professor and hia ap
paratus came down to earth. A picture
of the ’'ship" having been printed—

rrh9 contest for United senator In
Florida was exceedingly close and ex
citing. particularly on the last roll
call in the Joint session. The Issue was
Joined between the. r-lends of Call, on
the one hand* and the friends of Chip
py on the other, with lest tha # n twenty
vote* divided between several other
candidates holding the balance of
power. Call had been senator for eight
een years. Chlpley had long been play
ing for the prize which he came with-
ing one vote of capturing.
The successful man, Hon. 8. R-
Mallory, was a member of the Fifty-
second and Fifty-third congresses. He
waa a candidate for renomlnatlon to
the fifty-fourth congress, but Chlpley,
who lived In the same town of Pensa
cola w*lth him, made an active fight
against Mallory carrying the home
county for Sparkman, who lived at
Tampa, by 27 votes. It wa* charged
by Mallory's friends that Chlpley
sought the defeat of his own townsman
for tho purpose of building himself up
In tho other end of the state. Since
that time they have been bitter politi
cal foes, and it ueema that there Is a
bit of poetical as well as political Jus
tice In the defeat of Chlpley by Mallory
Just a* he wtood within one vote of the
coveted prize.
It seems the greater punishment to
■Chlpley when It ts called to mind that
the one needed vote that could have
elected him, thaf of Representative
Morgan, was cast for his enemy at
the Critical moment, after It had been
cast for hlb ln every preceding ballot.
‘sonaiblo Mr. Howell.
Capt. Evan P. Howell, late of the
Atlanta Constitution, secured the ear
of the Associated Press Friday night
to announce that^the report that he
was going to start another paper in
Atlanta, is not true. The Telegraph
has never believed the story that ho
contemplated such a move, because It
has credited the Captain with some de
gree 'of t common sense and business
judgment' If he came out of the Con
stitution with a neat little sum ln his
pocket for a rainy day, as reported by
his friends, he would exhibit less dis
cretion than his friends claim for him
If he should sink it In another newspa
per enterprise in Atlanta, especially
since the Journal controls the full As
sociated Pres* franchise of that town.
Without a news service and with no
monopoly in newspaper talent such a
venture could have but one end,
There may be different opinions as to
how it.happened that Capt. Howell
dropped out of newspaper life In At
lanta, but there can be but one as to
the probability of his getting in again
unless he returns td the Constitution.

A few years ago when a'United States
senatorial election was impending In
Ohio, one of the leading • candidates
needed another vote to m-ke his election
sure and his campaign manager, after
canvassing the situation, began .work
upon a bucolic representative from one
of tho Western reserve counties.
Tho old man grew very Judignant at
tho first hint of money*In connection
with his vole. Ho fumed a groat deal,
swore a little and very melodramatically
asserted that "hi* manhood was not for
cale at any price." Gradually the fact
was impressed upon him that tho one
necessary vote could bo secured In an
other quarter and ihst hia olnstimcy
would havo no effect upon tho senatorial
result anyway, while It might materially
affect his pooketlbook.
Thereupon the old felloe* made an
eloquent plea *n hi* own behalf. He
Mrongly (inserted that ho wis an honest
man, whose Toputation was as dear to
him as hi* life, nnd whofte character al
ways had been unspotted by contact with
the world.
"You will readily understand, *lr," he
added, "that having so much at stake
a* X do it would bo impossible for mo to
entertain for one moment any proposi
tion you might make to try to Influence
my vote ln thl« matter. >My rote is not
for sale, but‘1 have no Ui feeling toward
you for what you have tried to do. And
3* proof of that. fact. I'll go right over
to youp voom now and join you in a
social game of cucbre, just between our-
selvea."
"All right." assented tho lobbyist,
"I’m pretty tm/y, hiu I guee* I eau find
time enough f»>r a woglo rubber with
you. How about stake*?" y
"Tweuty-five hundred a corner."
"No—two thousand." \ t
They played. The lobby lot lost. The
man from the Western reserve voted for
the candidate who was elected ten star.—

"that by simply caring properly for his
stock and saving the manure be was
able to fertilise eighteen acres and
save a bill for commercial fertilizers.
There was considerable profit In this
part of the scheme, even tf there waa
no cost. The land yielded, It Is added,
at the rate of 22V4 bushels per acre,
or a total of 405 bushels on the eighteen
acres. At the prices which our cotton-

(75 cents to $1 per bushel), Mr. Rob
erts' crop would sell for from $300 to
$367, or of $15 to $29 per acre, without
counting the value of the fodder."
The cost of producing the corn was
only 8 cents a bushel, which Is less
than ever chronicled in the most fer

Nebraska.
