The Chicago Tribune has this fine senti- anent: “The world has lived with human tieings in it a good many hundred years now, aind tiie faithful wife and mother still ranks first among women. All other grades from her rank downward.” The Philadelphia doctor should pay the Associated Press liberally for itsa dvertise- xuent of his practice on John McCullough. John never had much mind, and wine and •women have long since destroyed what lit tle he had. He is beyond surgery. The Philadelphia Press has not yet re covered from the shock of last Tuesday. It says: "The Solid South is solid still—solid in the crystallization of party bigotry, and still in the gloom of political night.” Alas, poor South. But then New York is safe. As the administration has locked itself in -while the yarn spinning and chestnut roast ing goes on of a night around the White .House store, perhnps a scheme my be fixed up to discover Ilowgate. Suppose the Dol phin be armed and victualled for the search. Archdeacon FAnnan, speaking of liqnor legislation, says that “such n thing as the Maine law would he impossible in Eng land." And the Boston liecord adds: “If he can make Neal Dow tell him the honest facts, he will learn that such a thing as the enforcement of the Maine law is impossible In Maine.” The attempt to get Congress to pay Gen eral Grant's doctor's kills, by posing him as the savior of the country when Andy John son, in his cups, wanted to hang everybody, is too thin. The real saviors of the county ora tbe men who voted against impeach ment. Old Ben Wade was to have been made President. Tm country is in profound peace and yet the surgeon-general of the army reports that “there wero 6,622 coses of wounds, ac- ri-knta and injuries reported during the jroarin a mean strength of 21,035 officers xtnd enlisted men. Deaths from wounds •ml other violent causes numbered 83. No casualties from actual warfare wero return ed, the year haring been one of peace. The list of accidental deaths at rifle ranges has increased since the lost report." This may be a verification of the old adage 'that a gun is dangerous without lock, stock or Cock. At the late election in Pennsylvania Dave Mouatt, who bos served a term in tbo peni tentiary, and several other infamous char acters were elected to public office. This provokes the Philadelphia Times to say “Perhaps, after all, an overdose of the vindi- -cation foulness will make people sick of it -.soonest." Not a bit of it Home very had politicians have been vindicated in Oeor- jjia and the cry is, still they come. Tn« Republicans will never abandon Horace Greeley's idea that a rainy day is good for Democratic voters. The New Y'ork Tribnne says: “The weather, though favorable in this city, where it never effects the voting, was against the Republicans in the interior of the State. Heavy rains nre reported from every quarter where large majorities were needed to offset the Demo cratic majorities in New York and Brook lyn" Tbe work of exterminating the Indians goes bravely on, both iu the United States and Canada. Between small-pox, whisky, the ride and the halter, the noble red man stands bnt small chance to increase and multiply. What a howl went np from this ■country when freedom shrieked and Kos ciusko fell! How tbe woes of Ireland cry out to an indignant world! How the philan thropists shuddered, moaned, prayed and labored over tbe fate of enffee, dragged from the wilds of Africa, to he clothed, fed and oared for in America! But the Indian, who baa suffered more wrongs than all these, has no friend. Col^iel Wactebson indites an essay the "O’Passum." The country has been pa tient with him over his vagaries about the tariff and whisky, Imt there in no sneb thing ss an “O'Possam" nor an “O'Pos sum." He has been deceived by certain ambitious naturalists. Georgia is the home of the animal of which he writes, and be is known here as posttrtn, and no man can aspire to political promotion who bolds to the contrary. And the proper accompani ment of the oleaginous animal b “taterm," mot potatoes. There is a concerted effort to destroy the “Old South,” but the dead lias must be drawn at tins point. It may be added that tbe possum dog must be a jrellow briiulb with [a smoked month, long ody and short tail. • "To the Merchants of Macon.** In yesterday's issue of the Telxobaph appeared a card from Captain It. E. Park in reply to an editorial recently ncjdressod in these columns to the merchants of Macon. We take it that the card spoke the senti ments of the / gricultural Society. With dne regard for Captain Park's esti mate of what constitutes a successful State fair when backed by the citizens of Macon, and for the opinions he cites, we must de cline to accept them as final. For every opinion given, we could produce a hundred of another sort with little tronble. Onr editorial is bused upon comparisons with former fairs, upon actual inspection of them, upon public opinion ns gathered and upon undoubted facts. We see no reason for changing it. Perhaps Captain Park errs in supposing that we have undertaken to belittle the work of such exhibitors as were represented. If so, there is no excuse for the error. The exhibits of the Holton Club, Mr. Wadley, Mr. Plant, the Southern Seed Company and others from six counties were individually fine. These gentleman did all in tlieir power and deserve tho praise heaped upo'n them. But excellent as they were, these few exhibits from six counties did not constitute a fine showing for the one hun dred and thirty-seven counties of Georgia. It may have been an exaggeration to state, as Captain Park has, that they filled four- fifths of the building. It was at least a gross error. They filled the front half of the first floor. The rear half held vehicles belonging to two or three exhibitors; the upper floor was unoccupied. But if ono farmer had filled tho entire building the ag-_ ricnltural department would still have been poor, in the proper sense of the word. How was it with other departments? Agricultural Hall, was vacant. Machin ery Hall held perhaps twelve or fifteen cx- liibi ts. Floral Hall, though better filled, was occupied by comparatively few exhibitors. Perhaps it would be proper to state that siuglo individuals occupied enormous space. Hogs and sheep were conspicuous chiefly by their absence. It is not a very great ex aggeration to state that nil the poultry on exhibition might have been killed or wound e«l by the accidental discharge of a single barrel gun. Tne number of cattle and horses was large, as we have already editorially stated, bnt if any person outside the Fair Associa tion could derive an y knowledge of them unless accompanied by somebody well posted, we have yet to hear of him. It must he admitted, however, that this fea ture was by fur the best of the fair. If we modify gur former statement, it must be this extent. So much for the exhibits. We have heard but one opinion of the general management, but that from many mouths. In one instance two officers sold the same privileges to different persons, who, in seeking justice, wore passed around from authority to authority, and finally formolly disposed of by nn executive meet ing. The secretary complained that he could not got the hernia of departments to hand in their books promptly, the reanlt being confusion; and that some of these men could never lie found in their proper places while the races were on. Entries for stoke races wero permit ted up to the night preceding the races, and consequently the starters were.fow and results generally foreknown. A single horse won all but one running race, and that l>y what seemed to he hardly more than an exercise gallop. The society was forewarned of the influx of pickpockets, and could have employed a sufficient force of skilled detectives, thus leaving the polico more latitude. Most people think it was clearly the duty of the management to do this, as well as to secure by previous ar rangement facilities for handling tho crowd at a specified rate, nnd also to have established a bureau of information indis pensable to all great fairs. They could also have kept exhibits on the ground through out Friday nnd Saturday. But Captain Park practically admits had management, and emphasizes it by the statement that one of the superintendents only succeeded in his department by per sonal expenditures. If anything more em phatic were needed, it is tbe published fact that the total receipts from all sources were hut <11,000, when it is conceded by good judges that the crowd in the park during the week aggregated more than 30,000 people. The main point remains. The value of the park is <250,000 in the estimation of good judges. It should be s source of reve nue to itself, thereby self-preserving and a source of pleasure to Macon's friends every- where. Notwithstanding feeble efforts made by other persons in illy equipped places, wo believe that the people of Macon, who have never yet failed in any enterprise undertaken by them, can annually draw a crowd here, larger than any that lias ever come to the State fair, can furnish them finer amusements, give larger premiums, and afford more satisfaction than the present officers of the Agricultural Society. And they will have left over a fund for the im provement and preservation of the park. Further, we believe that to deuy this is to cost a serious reflection upon the business men of this city. It is idle to construe this matter into an attack upon the formers of Georgia. Our idea is that, under the plan suggested, they will be better lodger! and better protected, better cared for and better amused. Their interest and the interest of the Macon peo ple are reciprocal and can be better served by the business men than by s board of managers which msy contain these who an neither business men nor representative formers. Fall of the Moody Shirt. We are inclined to believe that the bloody shirt has boen, for awhile at least, retired from service and that, the Lord bo praised, the war is again over. The electors on Tuesday last trampled ihe old knnner in tho dust and gave a sting ing rebuke to the men who hod shaken its folds before the intelligent people of the country. A peculiarity of the present issue is that tho recognition of the fact is not confined merely to Democrats. The New York Times editorially says; -To those Republicans who think it wise and profttablo to barter sway threo years of Ira Daven port as Governor of New York for s single hour of Judge Foraker's oratory and a few speeches from John A. Logon, we shell lesve the task of assuaging as best they can the pain and dlaappolntmont of their party under yesterday's defeat." Concluding n list of had moves on the part of the Republicans it adds: Then, to crown this series of damaging mis* takes, the narrow-minded Foraker was imported to disgust decent Republicans with hla routings and drive back to the snpport of Hill thousands of Dem ocrats who would not and could not act with a party which in Its official eaposltlon of principles and in its choice o* campaign orators showed a purpose to heap iudiscriminating censure upon tho Democratic President and to hold everything Democratic to bo abominable. In thle work of consolidating the Democracy aud swelling Its vole Fonkcr was sided by the senseless speeches of General Carr and the harangues of Logan. Against such an array of 111- choscn friends giving aid and comfort to tho enemy the mass of tho party and the lndepondenta strove in vain. The Philadelphia Record says of the New York election: The chief mistake was tn snmmonlng John Rher* man and Judge Foraker to New York fresh from their Ohio victory. From the hour when these Ohio champions entered tho State and raioed the banner of tho bloody shirt the tide Logon to turn, and it kept turning tut the day of election. To a formal array of causes the Herald ndds: To cap tho climax of tho folly, the Republican State committee suffered the State to be Invaded by Mr. Foraker, from Ohio, and General Logan, from lllinola. with their sectional rank and sent the Re publican candidate for lieutenant-governor to ac- mreany them and echo lb The Philadelphia Times has it that wherever Sherman and Foraker went, there Republican defeat 1ms followed.” Au ho on through all the liberal Itepub- lienn and Mugwump press. It matters little whether or not the “bloody shirt” saved the day for the Demo crats. The fact is evident that the gar ment is considered os an insult to the in- telligonce of the best sentiment of the country! and the old banner will not be dragged from its resting place again in htury. Wait until 1888. Eleven Dollars' Worth of "Cliunes.” News of a certain kind is very difficult obtain in Atlanta. It will be remembered that during tho aummer one of the booma enjoyed by tbe capitol town wag the cele bration of the laying of the corner-atone the new capital imilding. Besides enjoying' great delight at tho gorgeons spectacle the Immense military and civic procession, the frugal Atbmtese gathered in many pen nies from rural visiting brethren. - ' Beyond tho fact that J. Patsy Cahill, of tho Atlanta Baseball Club, occupied tbe position of honor on the occasion—enjoying the singular privilege olono of having his pictnre deposited with the precious memen- toes in the corner-stone—the pnblio was not enlightened aa to details. There was suspicion that the tnx-pnyen wero paying the expenses of this performance, and tbe suspicion broadened into a serious fact when a hill for <500 wot hurried through the Legislature. Since that time we have naed strenuous efforts to get a peep at the items of that hill in behalf of the people, bnt our repre sentatives have been battled at every point. It appears, however, that the administra tion organ has been granted thia privilege, and we learn from the Constitution that over <200 were spent for a corner-stone, and that the rise of <11 were invested in sheet nmsic for the village brass band that assailed the public air and ear on tho momentous occasion. It would appear that a corner-atone was a very in dispensable portion of a building—more particularly a capitol building—and should have keen properly embraced in tho orig inal contract. It certainly wna not con templated in the original act that an extea allowance had to be provided for this pur pose. Surely there wna no authority of law to make an extraordinary purchase of sheet music for the brass bond on the occasion. Eleven dollars cosh will purchase sheet music enough for every brass band in the State, and we will engage to fill the contract at this price. If a brass band had to be employed, then a wise economy would have suggested the engagement of one that was caparisoned with the usual amount of "chnnes." The reportoire of the average brass band, nsnully embraces "General Jackson's Quick Step," "Tho Mnzourka Polka," “Tho Mocking Bird," “The Dead March in Sard,” “Sundy's Mill," “Hi Daddy in the Morn ing," and “Dixie." This is considered by musical professors equal to tbe efforts of a cornet, cymbals, a tuba, a li flat born and a high c ditto, a h iss and snare drum. It ia even deemed sufficient if an ophicleide, a trombone, a hautboy and a bazoo be added. AU of this cannot possibly have cost eleven dollars and tho rise. And what be came of the sheet music? Did the State present it to the brass band, or was it de posited with the Secretary of State, to be used at the next boom? Beallv, thia familiar fondling of pnbllc funds is becoming rather too interesting to the poor people, who have to moke np the funds. Onr capitol msy become a financial ele phant if this reckless purchase of music is permitted to pass the keen scrutiny of ac counting officers.

In reply to the question, “what do yon think of Dr. Felton’s speech on the railroad commission bill ?" Dr. Uaygood said: I have had faith in Dr. Felton's sincerity, bnt I think his speech before the Legislature was the moat demagogical I ever read. It was incendia- it was uncalled for, it was Impolitic and utterly unchristian, not to speak of its mi truth. Neither a patriot nor a Christian would have made that speech. The picture that he drew of poor man in his hut aud the rail road king in his palace, waa purely the effort of tbe demagogue to array, without cauae or foundation, capital against labor, for selfish purposes and pollt- ends. Felton wanted to be governor, and ho Is unscrupulous In his efforts to get there.

I would not vote for Oeorgo Washington, John Quincy Adams and Thomas Jef ferson to have exclusive control of the railroad property of Oeorgia.

They are inseparably connected, and there no need of any fight between the two.^Gaines ville Eagle. Dr. Hnygood’s power of statement is known and acknowledged by nil those who are familiar with bin writings nnd utter ances. He is brood in his views upon all questions, and has not nn enemy who will charge thnt he lacks independence or cour age. In the many brief, comprehensive and powerful presentations of public questions which he has made, wo have not seen one, which for clearness, conciseness and force exceeded his arraignment of Dr. Felton nnd his statement of his position upon the pro hibition and railroad questions, ns present ed above. Liko Dr. Haygood, wo had faith in Dr. Felton, but agree with the former entirely with reference to the character of the lat ter's railroad speech before the House. Impelled by a sense of duty at the time, wo took occasion to criticise it in a spirit of frankness and justice. We regret that one so capable as Dr. Felton, of great ser vice to the State, by reason of his great ability, Bhould have alarmed conservative and practical public judgment, touching the correctness of his principles and his safety as a public man. We thank Dr. Hay good for the manner in which he has expressed himself with refer ence to tho points to which we have al luded, and commend his example to other men who are in position in church and State, as worthy of imitation in the effort to stay the tide of fanaticism and commun ism which fteriously threatens onr peace and prosperity. PLOT TO SEIZE COSTA RICA. IIoiv Eight Men Were to Decorno Ruler.—'Tried and Sentenced. A l’ftn&uin, 8]iecinl says: Au abortive at tempt nt revolution was recently ninde in Costa ltica and has been speedily followed by punishment of those who instigated it. Frederico Gutierrez and some few compan ions were tried for rebellion, their object being to overthrow the present government nnd place Gutierrez at the head of affairs. The scene of the revolution was to he Ala- ueln nnd nrrangementa were made so that t should have taken place on Sunday the ltith of August Inst. Tbe plan was to introduce two men into tiie cuartel at Alnjuela tinder tho pretext of seeing two Bick friends while tho troops of the cuartel were hearing mass in tho pariah church. Once inside, these two individuals were to disarm the seatinel and then open the gate nnd let a crowd go in who would ho in waiting outside. At the same time n telegram waa to he sent to Don Benardo Soto, purporting to have come from Don Jesus Soto, hia father, to the effect that he lmd better come to Aliuuela imme diately witli Dr. Duran (who ia tho Minister of toe Interior), na Ida mother had received a severe fall niulwns considered in a dangerous state. As soon as the train arrived in Alnjuela they were to he seized by an nrrned force and conveyed to jail. At the same time the principal people of Snn Jose nnd Heredia were to be invited to 'Alnjuela null seized. When all this had been effected n force was to march up to Sun Jose nnd take possession of the place. However, there wna dissension among the rebels, and fimdlo one of them, fearing the consequences, turned State's evidence. Besides Gen. Frederico Gutierrez there wore eight, of whom seven were officers holding diffemnt ranks in the army; tho other was Don Francisco Savorin, ex-gov ernor of the provinco of Alnjuela. Gen. Gutierrez wns able defended by Don Vi cente Herrera, ex-president of Costa Rica, who contended that according to tho mili tary code they conld not try his client by court-martial, because Gnticrrez bos not executed his plans, ns the code says dis tinctly thnt criminals cannot be tried by court-martial unless they have put their plana into execution and have been the cause of bloodshed. However, all Herrera's eloquence could not save him. He was sentenced to eight years and one day imprisonment on the Island of Snn Lucas and to be deprived of honors and ublic employment for life; also to be un- cr the vigilance of the authorities for three years after the completion of his im prisonment. The others wero sentenced to various terms of expulsion from the coun try, vary from six months to one year and fine months. "The Inside of Atlanta.'

The Democrat pub lished in that State says; “The editor has teen unable to perform his cditoral duties this week in consequence of the accident which befel him at the skating rink last week.” Col. John M. Glover, it is reported, has purchased a controlling interest in the 8t. Louis Republican. It is possible that he msy object to the “leading daily" appro priating its leaders for its own. We know him, and he is a very tenacious man of his rights. As Governor Hill managed his own com- paign, it is possible that he may know what the result means. He says: “It means that the people propose to sustain the bands of a Democratic Preaident, hut not by putting his opponent* in power." What Colonel Tip Harrison says aboat his connection with tbe “corner-stone accounts is perhaps true. Bnt we have been endeavoring to get the itemized hill ever since tho first day of its introduction into the Legislature, and oar representative was nnshle to reach it. That he was battled by somebody in this matter is strict- ly correct. A Westchester man who called on Mr. Tilden jast after the New York election says he “found the American flog flying over the roof, and the “old man" was better pleased than he had seen him for years. He looked fifteen years younger in the flush of delight and excitement, and was going about the house fall of life and perfectly overjoyed. With fifteen years off and a brand now flag we shall look for the old man to play dummy again in 1888. It remains to bs seen if Cleveland will ■often the insult to tbe Mugwumps con veyed in his vote for Hilt, or if the Mug- warn pa' enthusiasm for onr Preaident will take hi tea in the capitol, would not the ex- aurvivo tbe shock. To a mas np a tree St' penditare for the purpose be just as legiti- loolu very much as though the situation mate aa the purchase of comer stones and called for something. | “chnnes?" Tbe Philadelphia Herald is responsible for this: Pint politician—“I see that the Prohibition vote shows s large increase. Second politician—“That’s eusily account ed for.” First politician—"Ilow so?" Bec- ond politician—“Why, every fellow who has been fired ont of a tavern during the peat week has voted for prohibition, imag ining that be was getting even. And then it is almost probable that half the fellows who got up druuk on election day with bad whisky headache have early in the morning, while filled with remorse, resolved to quit drinking and voted for cold water.
