A Boston man in New England has been

islet called Middle Brewster, off Boston
Harbor, lies ontside of the boundary, and
waa never claimed by the Massachusetts

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.

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.

A Most Excellent Suggestions
In the conrse of its meandering, the At
lanta Constitution says;
A devout Attention should leave Atlanta onco tn
awhile to find ont that there la tend and population
beyond Feachtree creek. 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. It may not suit
bis prestent purpose to indulge in mouth
inga over prohibition, but he may consider
