There la no Inatllutitm In Macon of which The Tolcgrapli la proudcT than Mercer University. The advanced po- altlon It haa taken amone the Institu tion! of learning throughout the coun try la very gratifying to Its friends nt home and nbroad. On Juno :d, proximo, the commence ment exercises of tho Institution will be held In thin city. Tho announce ments already mado and those to come Insure a programme of unusual Inter est. fievcral distinguished alumni havo accepted Invitations to bo present and deliver addresses. The number In cludes Dr. Kerr B. Tupper, a distin guished divine and author of Phlladel- phis, who will deliver tho baccalau reate sermon; ex-Oovernor It. B. Hub- bird of Texas, who will dollver the ad dress before the literary societies; Dr. A. H. Newman, professor church his tory In Toronto Baptist College, and both an author and lecturer of national repute, who wUt deliver the mission ary sermoq, anil Hon. T. 0. Lawson, ex-congresiman from Georgia, who ; win deliver tho alumni addreaa. In addition lo these, other distinguished alumni of th« Institution, Including ex- Governor Henry D. McDaniel, ex-Gor- ernor W. J. Northern ex-Congre»smsn Charles Moses, Itufu* E. Lester and Secretary of Stale Hon. Allan D. Can dler will hr present and participate in 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 tak'» the optimistic view, f >r there ace many >igns of wntinued Impro Clearingnp a Boroaacd Issue. 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, while the few remaining little stales In the wwrld aro prepxring to follow suit.

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. The Nashville Atrahlp. 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 rise front the ground, which will float 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 Case of Poetical Justice. 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. LIVE XOPIC8 DlStjlfoblSD. 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.— Chicago Tiu.cs-Hcrmld. The fears of monopoly In the han dling of cotton by the round-bale pro cess, which have existed in some quar ters, may be act at rest by the state ment ln the Manufacturers* Record that tt Is authoritatively Informed that the American Cotton Company pro poses to operate its cylindrical com presses In co-operation with local planters and tinners throughout the South. The plan of operations that has been decided upon will enable planters and gtnners to avail themselves of the benefits of this Invention on a liberal co-operative basis, with a market for their cotton assured. The company will begin at once the Introduction of round-bale compresses. In an interview in the Manufac tures’ Record Mr. Henry Hentx, pres ident of the New York Cotton Ex change. calmly and accurately gauges says the Charleston News and Courier, "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- tot* are paying fi r corn, as reported (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 tile and successful part of Kansas or Nebraska. Mr. Robert* 1* one of those who be lieve that the Southern r&rmef, ln "Or der to be successful, should grow everything he needs, raising all the fodder for his stock and all the food needed for his family—a good belief to be entertained, and one which always assures success.—New Orleans Tlmes- Domocrat.
