What the Star’s readers want is something under the caption: How to get into Canada. Alcbjeolooists are constantly astonishing the world, but none of them have yet dug np the remains o£*one R. B. Hayes, whom, tradition says, once occupied the presiden tial chair in the United States. Or 113 samples of food, principally canned goods, preserves, pickles, condi ments, etc., submitted to the public inspec tors of Islington, England, during the last year, not one was found to be adulterated. Saji Jokes says that when he gives away A silver dollar the eagle on it turns to a nightingale and sings to him all night long. But if the nightingale sings 0!d Hundred, we’ll bet he don’t get more than S3 out of it. bn. Sunderland says that “journalists are either beardless hoys or inebriated men who write their matter in the midnight hour." This may be true of journalists, but editors sit np all day and expose the er rors of public men, including preachers. Feed! Ward will be engaged for the next six and a half years, if he behaves well and longer if he behaves otherwise, in setting np stoves. He was probably assigned to this department because of his already having developed remarkable aptitude for getting “stove up,” That a woman will die before she will be out a fashion, has keen strongly illustrated. A French painter was engaged to a nice young girl. He desired that she should be married without a hustle. She promptly declared that she would sooner go without a husband than a bnstle. The Madisonian saya: “Senator Colquitt, it is reported, said that he made ten ene mies and one friend by every appointment he suggested. Well, if he will suggest none other bnt Democrats he need have no fear of losing popularity. It is retaining Re publicans in office that is playing slieol ■with his popnlarity. A oirl is on exhibition in New York whose feet sre eighteen inches long and siren and a half inches wide. She wears a No. 30 shoe, hails from Chicago and gets 4350 s week (or showing her feet in a Bow. ery museum. Her father is wealthy and will give $5,000 and s farm to any young man who will take her off his hands. In a private letter General Skenuaq says that he believes President Cleveland wants to do right, hut that he is too much under Southern influence. He says there is no objection to ex-Confedemtes being put in their own local offices, but that it is not pleasant to those who fought to preserve the Union to see those who tried to destroy it sent as our *pre*entatives abroad. Uongstreet and Mosby were foreign repre sentatives nndcr an administration of which “Comp’s” brother John was the head. A Boston man in New England has been examining the original charter map of Mas sachusetts, and finds that the little rocky islet called Middle Brewster, off Boston Harbor, lies ontside of the boundary, and waa never claimed by the Massachusetts colony. It was, therefore, not s part of the United States, and must now be deemed the property of Great Britain, from which, apparently, it has never been ent off. This country will be immensely benefited if England will take Massachusetts, along with the little rocky islet. Macs is peopled by intelligent beings, who are trying to attract the attention of dwellers on this planet. So aafs an Italian astronomer, Signor Nozardi, who mentions that he will yet discover what is meant by the messages. On the face of the plane Mam he has remarked tbe presence of vari ous laminous points exceedingly brilliant, which shift shout from place to place, just os though they were controlled by some in telligent action, so methodical la the regu* larity with which they thove. He has reached, therefore, the rather hasty concln* sion that the sparks he observes sre “tele graphic signals" sent at random by the in habitant of Mam to the earth. Senator Maxet says of civil service re form: “As it has been conducted, it is the blue-ribbon humbug of the period. Be* lieving it would result just as it has, I voted against the bill, and I am fully convinced that it waa the right thing to do. I have always believed that tbe eame general prin ciples which control in private business apply equally as well to public b No good business man would keep em ployee, However competent, who did not have his success at heart, and who would spend their leisure bourn in electioneering for some rival. The Democratic party, to be successful, most, in all the important pasta, have thoroughly efficient, honest in accord with tbe administration. To the MerclinuU of Macon. The State fair is now over and the crowd dispersed. It is in order to consider facts that have developed and their bearing upon the welfare of this city. It has been apparent to every one for yearn that the management of the men hav ing in chaige the annual fairs organized at Macon has been altogether short of what it should have been. So far from learning wisdom by ex perience and profiting by the lessons of past failures, the fair managers have gone from bad to worse until the time has come when the city is forced to call a halt. There should he no more sn<-h expositions as that just closed, opened to the guests and con stituency of Macon, with the consent, as sistance or indorsement of her business men. The Agricultural Society is an organiza tion recognized by law, and having officers and a large membership. It has the right to plan and carry out fairs after its own no. tions. lVith it, acting upon its own respon sibility, no one may interfere. But when it links itself to Maeon, uses her grounds equipments, facihties, police, funds and prestige, the matter is altogether different. It becomes the subject of public criticism. IVe do not think that tbe experience of the last few years, joined with the freak ex perience of last week, will justify the busi ness men of Maeon to longer trusting the city's reputation and interests in the hands of the Agricultural Society, as now officered, To nine out of every ten persons, the fair Macon enterprise. Its fail ures and shortcomings and man agement are placed at the city's doors, and she cannot escape odintu by hiding behind the society. The only proper way out is to assume full res ponsibility for the future and full manage ment of the yearly expositions to which the people of Georgia delight to come. There is no need to go into details in criticising the fair just ended. It was poor in every deportment, but some departments, it rnnst be admitted, could not have been otherwise, hampered as they were by the inefficiency of the gen eral managers. Tko amusements were inefficient and bungling, the exhibits far below even the results obtained in former years, the crowd was illy accom modated and totally unprotected, robberies being committed with impunity in open daylight, and a general lack of system was observable on all sides. It cannot be dis guised that great disappointment was the result. Macon has many friends. As wo stated lost week, no such crowd as that assembled upon her streets could he annually drawn to any other city in Georgia. Her name is a favorite in town, village and hamlet, her prestige is immense. The only ques tion is shall she throw away this vast capi tal and abandon this great source of wealth, or shall she hind it to her by bonds of in terest, by fair treatment and proper advan tages? To this there can he bnt one answer. The way to meet the issne is, we think, to organize s fair association of business men and to otter every fall large premiums and inducements to exhibitors, com. petitors and stock-owners in the name of the city of Macon; to provide accommo dations for the crowd and proper protec tion; to provide stirring races and other amusements, and by small committees of live men. Insure just treatment to every -ntry made upon the books, capital stock of $10,000 will accora plish this. The stock will pay fair dividends and leave a large' snrplns for premlnms. Macon will bring to her stores and factories a horde of customers. Here in the heart of Georgia, w ithin a day’s jour ney of every section of the State, with tbe finest fair grounds in the Sonth, the city is frittering sway her opportunities by entrusting her Intcietts people who are not capable of guarding them. Cheap fares and onr fine park and city have annually brought large crowds. Good management will more than double them. We place these suggestions at tbe dis posal of ths merchants and pnblic spirited men of this city. It is in their power not only to protect themselves bnt to secture for the agricultural fraternity at large far laiger results than those heretofore tained. * Is Hits • Coalition Dicker? Democrats of Georgia have been amazed and mortified at the slowness of the Cleve land administration in changing the Fed eral officials in this State. They have been deeply pained at some of the changes mode, and there is a suspicion that they will have farther reason to be ashamed. When, a few days since, it was announced that Marshal Wade had resigned upon terms, there was a general cariosity know the exact conditions, for tho conclu sion had become general that Brown, Colquitt and other Georgia politicians had assured his political life ten ure. A hint was thrown ont that he asked ouly that his chain, District Attorney Darnell should be beheaded at the some time and upon the oame seatfold. There is reason to apprehend that this was in the nature of a blind in the shape of dilatory pi Hines his return home Marshal Wade luu consented to an interviswr with a Sa vannah Morning News reporter, and though the article is beaded, “Marshal Wade Refuses to Talk," it will be seen that the public mind is prepared for a surprise, and Democrats for farther lmmiliation. And by Democrats, we do not mean disap pointed office-seekers, bnt men whose iegisnee to the party antedates that’of Mr. Cleveland and most of his cabinet Here is the article referred to; Called State. Marshal Wade stated yesterday that his mtEsaUoa had beea placed In the hands of friend. I: will probably be forwarded to Pre.ld.nt Peril sell thle week. Col. Weds declined to give any teeaoa (or hie action. i-eisor to look after either the Savannah office or the one at Macon. If Col. L. M. Lamar la appointed. Col. Wade will probably remain In charge of the marshal's office In this city, and Col. Lamar will make hla headquarters at Macon. If the thought referred to is crystallized into nction it is qnitc safe and proper to say right now, that any snch dicker will be unworthy of Colonel Lucius Lamar, and any ailminstration that will lend itself to it, is beneath the confidence and respect of the honest anil intelligent peo ple of Georgia. If there is one thing more incumbent upon a Democratic administration than an other in its conduct as to Southern affairs, it is that the men who were appointed to Federnl positions for a had purpose, and who have insulted tho people and disgraced honest methods, should be removed. The civil service reform indorsed by the Democratic party means that honest and capablo Democrats Bhnll be placed in offi- co ” cial positions. During tbe political debauchery of these last few years in Georgia tbe people, to their great disgnsl and serious injury, have keen made familiar with a dirty coalition of so-called Democrats and Republicans, whereby power has been secured and offi cial emoluments have been divided. Bnt they had hoped that with the advent of a Democratic administration this evil would be forever stamped ont. If this proposed plan is carried out Mar shal Wade will still retain his power and perquisites, except such as may bo divided with Colonel Lamar. And if the bargain is sanctioned and rati fied by the law department of the govern ment, the present Federal incumbents may expect to hold their places, by simply em ploying a Democratic clerk here and there. The proposition is an outrage and insult to all Democrats of tho State. It embodies in spirit if notin language that their com plaints are false, and that the party does not contain men of sufficient intelligence and integrity to be endowed with official trust# that event the eloquence of Dr. Hawthorne will prove as puny (it possible) as Mr. Col quitt's power and influence. The barkeeper may be fair game in this fight, bnt it will be prudent in the prohibitionists not to be come so enthused on cold water as to mis take “Old Joe" for one. COTTON PRODUCTION.

His words, however, were encouraging. —The Duchess do Bnncovano, tho most accomplished of amateur pianists, now leads the way in fan painting.

Impacted In the close and absorbing life of the Gate City, his comprehension hardens from lest and branch into kernel, sweet, bnt not expansive. Even bis Imagination loses its edge and Indurates towards a lessenleg centra. It does not make mnch difference whether the Atlantian is devout or not, hut every one of them who is able to take advantage the present cat in railroad rates should pack his grip sack and start on a tour of Georgia. We know of nothing that would such a revelation to the average Atlan- teso as to see the State he knows little or nothing about, and to become acquainted with the people. Tho paragraph quoted aboTe served as a text for a dissertation npon the growth of Chattanooga. Bnt the Atlontese need not confine his peregrina tions to that direction alone. In fact, the time conld be put in to mnch greater ad vantage in a different direction. The At- lantcso has been imposed npon as to the people of the State of Georgia. They do not dislike Atlanta, bnt they haTe a strong objection to the ways and talks of a few people in Atlanta who.bave dominated opin ion there and have studiously attempted to extend their control, more especially politi cally, over tbe entire State. Tbe town has been so noisy, brassy and dirty, with its extraordinary growth, that the mncbly-mixed population has imbibed the Idea that it was a free city, and the State of Georgia, if oven considered at all, has been regarded rather as the toil of the kite. Of conrse, it will not do for ail of the nomadic population of Atlanta to go wan dering nbont Georgia in a kind of aimless way, but it would he a good investment in the city itself to fnmish transportation and letters of Introduction to those of its inhab itants who propose to become permanent, in order that they may make a tonr of the State. Tbe result would be a boom for the town, and the indications are not wanting, that boom is very mnch desired. The occasion is propitious. The prohibition fight and the extraordinary and unexpected change in judicial officials and other indicia eqaally marked, ore hints that Atlanta might do well by becoming a part of Georgia in some thing beyond mere geographical lines. An I'uwlie ProhibitionUt. Ths hot prohibition contest now being waged in Atlanta is productive of words and deeds that may hereafter be repent ed of. It is none of oar fight nor funeral, bnt are not unobservant specters, and we are authorized to comment within legitimate bounds. Onr special correspondent, in bis account of a recent prohibition meeting at the thea tre, quotes Rev. Dr. Hawthorne as follows. He said; Alfred O. Colquitt waa worth all ths politicians la the State. Indirectly he pitched into Senator Brown, etrongly insinuating that he waa A skulk, too cowardly to come out either for or against pro hibition. If we are to credit newspapers, secular and ecclesiastic, Dr. Hawthorne is on able and eloquent member of tbe Baptist charcb ministry. The language quoted will speak for his zeal aa a prohibitionist Bat the politicians of the State will imile at his estimate of Col- qnitt There is one who will smile very coldly and significantly and Dr. Hawthorne will hear from him later. Joe Brown it no akolk or coward in any contest, no matter what other deficiencies may be charged np to him. He is a cold, sagacious and resourceful man, who bides his time and pays his debts in foil and in hard cash.
