Oil Uie 20111 of this month the State Press
Association will meet in Macon. Wo bespeak
for these gentlemen ami their ladies the
best treatment at (he hands of the citizens
of this, the business centre of Georgia. They
will come to ns from every part of the State,
anxious to learn the truth about tho pro
gress of the city, and to mingle with her
people. Let ns afford them every opportu
nity, showing them a city that cannot bo
caBt into ruins by horns blown without her
gates like Jericho of old, nor was bnilt up
on horn toots within like one not so far
away; but which lifted up by labor, founded
on capital and controlled by bnsiness sense,
sits solid and serene, mistress of tho situa
tion.
So far as the great and good TEijuiitArit is
concerned, we do not hesitate to say that our
door is off the binges, the portierre which
screens tho innermost sanctum is rolled up
out of sight, and tho white banner of peace
waves from the battleinouts. Gentlemen of
tho press, the road to Arcadia is unob
structed and a committee awaits yon ut the
terminus.
••A College Clnss,”
Under the above heading we pnblish else
where a very snggestivo articlo from the
Montezuma lteoord. It is to bo regretted
that tho senior class at Oxford does not
contain a number of mechanics. We would
suggest to the liccord that in time the
complexion of its classes will change. The
Technological Department was hut rocontly
organized and has not had tirno yet to pass
through the conrso of instruction in this
department. Dr. Hopkins is pushing mat
ten as fast as his resources will permit.
Tho public should exercise patience, in
the meantime let every friend of industrial
education in tho Stato contribute whatever
they can to the improvement und extension
of the facilities at Oxford for this essen
tial work. _
"Tiny arc
Tub Boaton Transcript says;
digging up the fossil remains of an ancient
race near Oartersville, Ga., supposed to lm
Georgians who bcliovod in psyiug the State
debt." This man is sadly in need of edu
cation. Tho "fossil remains" is all that ia
loft of a lot of Boston agents who conio oat
to make arrangements for unloading Massa
chusetts slaves npon Georgia abont the time
the Bay State folks began to realize that
slavery was not only unprofitable up there,
bat sinful.
The new Ilex
Tub Boaton Herald says:
publican plan for dividing the solid South
is to bid for votes with fut appropriations.
A leading journal of tho party says the peo
ple of that section ‘are disgusted with the
niggardly policy of the Democrats, which
would deny them the Blair bill and appro
priations for their riven and harbors,’ and
urges llopnblicans to 'take advantage' of
this fact. This is the encouragement which
the Democrats get to be economical. Bribery
is better than the bloody shirt, but wo don'
believe it will be any more effectual.
A IUxbubv man writes to tho New York
8un upon the qnestlon of cheap living ns
follows; "We smile at Mr. Atkinson'a state-
meat how to live on $200 a year. Why,
hero in Danbury a family of three grown
persons live respectably on $500 a j ear,
follows; Kent, $250 ayear for an eight-room
house; food and fuel, $150, nml clothing,
$1U0. Wholo streets of nice, comfortable,
and convenient dwellings in our magnifi
cent V’liey are owned or occupied by fami
lies of thre-o to six, whose income does not
average over $500 a year. They often on
tertoin company testhetically, being gener
ally of Puritan descent, which means that
no money is wasted in saloons or barrooms."
The Charleston News and Courier strongly
says: "The resolution intro Juoed in Con
gress by Hcpresentative Herbert, providing
for tho appropriation of $300,000 'for the
relief of destitute persons in the over
flowed districts of Alabama,' has been fav
orably reported to tho House for one-half
the amount askod for. It should have been
defeated without delay. The victims of the
flood are to be pitied, but the treasury of
the United States was not established for
the purpose of dispensing charity among
the unfortunate sufferers from Providential
calamities. There have already becu too
many calls of this kind, and it is time to
halt Tne State of Alabama is abundantly
well able to take care of its own poor and
nnfortnnate. The resolution of Hepresenta-
tive Herbert will no donbt bo a good card
for him to play at the next election in his
district, but it should be defeated all the
same. 'We are in our father's house to
stay,' but there is no reason why we should
rob the whole family for tho benefit of a
few distant relatives in Alabama. Charles
ton sustained a loss of over $2,01)0,000 by
the cyclone last year, without asking or ac
cepting aid from any qaartc-r. It cannot l>e
supposed that the whole Stats of Alsbsma
is not able to lirar the less of one-fourteenth
of that amount
The M 2Jan of I)c«l!ny** TTrahcu.
The returns of the late municipal clec-
tionn in tho West and sundry speech** in
both HouKen of CougrtK* have reached tho
White House.
The Washington Star, a journal very care
ful and reliable in its statements, and with
unUHnal facilities for getting into the insido
of official circles, Bays:
it is said that Mr. Cleveland baa ccmo to tbc
conclusion that there is something more that he
do for harmony'i sake without breaking hi*
promiiea to the country, and is willing, an* in
fact, about to take a step towards the uniting »*f the J
party. An intimation comes from very high au
thority, and is talked of to-day. that the President
is ready to meet the needs of the party in any way
consistent with hia principles, when it is settled
what those needs are.
"The *woo small volco,* heard through the muni
cipal elections, give warning that tho party must
harmonize. The loaders must stop their petty
quarrelling with the President, and he in turn must
give some consideration to their advice. Tho opti
mists in the party say that these little defeats will
■how the party where it« weakness is, and will lead
to a united effort to correct it,"
It is refreshing to know that the Presi
dent hag been moved and that k© haw
reached the conclusion tlmt he can doHonie-
thing more for tho Democratic party, even
though the promises he made to the Mug
wumps after the Democratic party elected
him, arc being connluntly thrown up to him.
A man fifty year.* of ago who accept* tho
leadership of a party after a year’s experi
ence in office, ought to be able to discover
what the needn of that party are.
If ho ia ignorant upon this point it would
not take long for u half uu/.ru members of
tho Senate and House from different sec
tions of the country to furnish him tho full
est information. . It will not matter if such
information may not bo consistent with Mr.
Cleveland’s principles. He accepted the
nomination of the Democratic party, and it
was at the time understood that in event of
election he would administer the govern
ment not in accordance with his own prin
ciples but by those dedaled in tho platform
of the Democratic party und snch as had
governed that organization for many years.
If Mr. Cleveland has recognized the fact
that he is not enough of “a man of destiny”
to have bis own way aud to run u per
sonal government, he bus learned a very im
portant lesson.
If it has ut length become clear to him
that tho Democratic party will not submit
to being bossed by a sot of Mugwumps and
political nonentities, there is yet hope for
him. The Republican party, w ith tho aid
of an urmy und a treasury, w as not nble to
destroy the Democratic party. If Mr. Clevo
land appreciates fully that a man with n big
backbone and a handful of Mugwumps is
not equal to the task, it is well.
An Important Cast*.
A divorce suit now pending in n New
York court bids fair to attract a large
amount of public attention bccauso of tho
novelty of some of tho statements contain
ed in tho evidence of the defendant. Here
is a sample:
•On September C, 1884, I retired to my room.
My wife st once began to phty ou the piano as loud
ly a« poaaiblu to divert uiy miud. I put on my hat
to go out, as I could not stand it She waa Bitting
on the piano itool, and m I paaied I kliaed her.
She held me and asked me why I was going out I
told her that while ehe waa making so much nolao
I couldn't examine your conscience.
'Your cooacieoi’o; ha! ha! ha!' ahe exclaimed,
laughing. 'You haven’t got any, you blamed Joel*
out old fool.'
"I waa ao angry that I couldn't restrain myaclf,
I boxed her ears and walked out."
It is practically admitted among young
attorneys that according to decisions on
record, a man may oorrect his wife with
a switch not larger than his little finger,
but it remains to be seen if iu this age ho
inay slap her for ploying the piano. It is
the right of every woman to play upon the
piano if she can, and has access to one,
and it is an unwritten law of society that a
man who wants to examino his conscience
at that time, must either learn to do it to
the plunkity-plunk of a piano, or tako it
out behind the cow house where quiet
reigns. No man has a right to let his com
science Interfere with household music un
less indued the tune that disturbs him bo
"Tho Flowers that Rloom iu tho Spring,
Tru la,” or some equally ancient chestnut.
If tho New York man bestowed the slap
while in tho delirium induced by such tor
ture, he need not fear anything at the
hand* of a jury.
A Centre! Decoration Day.
It haa been auggeited that the Southern £tatea
should now fMl into line with the North and adopt
the 30th of May for the doc irathm of tho grave* of
their aoldiora. By common content that date haa
been fixed throughout tho North and West, and
there In no reason why it would not be aa acceptable
to ui an any other.
Here ia Louisiana the 6th of April baa been
chosen, for the reason that it i* an anniveriary of
the battle of Shiloh. While that conflict was not
without itn influence upon the deatiulea of the two
lection!, it wa* not of that deciiive character that
would mark its anniveriary an one to be commem
orated. Nor do the soldier! of tho Army of North-
Virginia who had been In a service something
like a year before tho light at Pittsburg Lending re
gard the day with special favor.
It is urged that hereafter the 30th of May bo set
aside as Decoration Day, aud that the other South-
States be asked to join in tho move. The Legis
lature could probably he induced to declare it
legal holiday, as it is such in so many States of the
Union.—New Orleans Picayune.
We do not think that the change will be
generally acceptable. "Decoration Day”
belongs to the North, and was adopted after
Southern women had established "Memo
rial Day” in honor of their husbands, fa
thers, brothers and sweethearts who fell in
the Kouthern cause.
Decoration Day” is observed at the
North m a junketing day and is given ever
to parades and tho political orator. At the
South it is a beautiful, sorrowful and sacred
custom. By reason of the difference of
climate it is not celebrated at the same
tiuie iu ml purls of the South. Nature at
times, as during the present spring, is
somewhat chary of her Bond offerings.
There is nothing iu common between the
North and the South as to their dead, save
that sentiment which makes
"The memory of the honored dead
A r*cred trust with all the living."
Here and there flowers have been laid
with impartial hands npon the graves of
the dead Federal and Confederate soldiers.
But in the presses of the North, upon the
forums of tho West and in the halls of Con
gress the Confederate living and dead are
still denounced as traitors. It does not seem
to us that the time has yet come when tho
North and South can join hands and hearts
in a common sorrow over a common grave.
Wo would be glad to welcome such a day
The Legislatures of the various States of
tho South might agree to make "Memorial
Day” a common holiday. There might he
little or no difficulty in making such
change if found convenient and necessary,
but wo do not think the pcople'of the South
would bo willing to abandon "Memorial
Day” for "Decoration Day.”
But if the surviving soldiers and honorable
ineu of tho South were willing to consent to
tho sacrifice, it it submitted that thcyjhavo
no right to make tho change. The men of
the South after the fight were too busied
with tho struggle for broad to devote them
selves to sentiment The graves of the
Confederate dead w ould have remained un
marked save for tho energy and courage of
Southern women. They planted the laurels
and the long rows of headboards which
mark every Southern cemetery. Their
hands raised the marble monuments all
over the South which commemorate the
dead heroes of the Confederacy.
‘Memorial Day” was tho inspiration of a
Georgia woman who now sleeps in a ceme
tery near by tho soldiers' plat It was at
her suggestion that this beautiful ceremony
was first observed on tbe 26th of April, the
day when the last organized army of tho
Confederacy surrendered, and when the last
hope was buried.
Southern women have kept tho occasion
sacred through these many years, and their
sanction should bo given to any change that
may be proposed.

To ll« Considered.
The Courier-Journal says: "All ablo-
bodied mole convicts should bo taken from
the penitentiary, from the coal mines, from
all classes of work in which they compete
with honest and free labor, and they should
all be kept permanently employed upon that
all-important bnt sadly neglected interest of
country roadways.” This reads as well for
Georgia as for Kentucky. The day ia not
far off when the people of this Stato
have to deal with the convict question anow,
and it behooves every man to consider if the
vast human force held in lawful bondogo
cannot bo more profitably applied to the
State’s highways than elsewhere. Is not
the labor of from 1,000 to 1,600 men per
year worth more to Georgia upon her public
rood* and levees than $23,000? Very re
cently we have suffered greatly from floods.
Cities and towns have been inundated and
immense damage don© to roads. An iutclli
gent system of levees would have prevented
this, and such a system is needed for tho
future. Who is to plan and build it?
The selection of Hon. J. C. C. Black
the orator at t he dedication of the menu
meat to Ben Hill, is universally applauded.
Mr. Block is not only an eloquent and
finished orator, hut he is a gentleman
truth and cultivation. His selection
lieves a very painful public suspense leal
tho committee in charge of the mutter might
make an indefeasible mistake.

A Vollega flaw.
Montezuma Record.
A few days ago tho senior class of Emory
College, at Oxford, had their class picture
made in Atlanta. It is a large class, num
bering thirty-nine. It is generally known
that this institution has a technological de
partment attached—in fact, an advertise
ment boa appeared in tho prominent daily
lapen of the State that an engine had been
milt and was on tha mnrkot for aala.
As there had been ao much talk about
the attachment of a technical department
to this, the oldest and one of the best col
leges in the South, wo naturally watched
the complexion of tha claas as regard, the
avocation, chosen, t3 sec how many real
developcre it contained—men who would
go ont and work up inch new enterpriaes
oh would make Georgia prosper o ut and
stop tho everlasting and eternal leech-like
drum of money from tho impoverished
Sooth to the rich manufacturing North and
West This class has dene will in every
respect, and its standing is the highest ever
mode in the college. Among the States
represented in this class are Virginia,

A MxsaAcnusrrra exchange says; “Tho

Troublesome Times fur the Administration.
PhllsdslpbU Telegraph.
The administration is now passing
through deep waters. If it ran keep up
and struggle along nntil it finds n foothold
again further on, all may yet be well with
it; but at present it is in reul danger of
submergence. The I'reaidi nt bos lost the
fnvor of hi* own party, without winping
the favor of the Iteputl icons. Sarcastic
Senator Ingalls openly ridicule* kiln as tbe
Mugwump 1’resiilent, und yet his many mis
takes and inconsistencies in regard to nom
inations have tended to reduce his popular
ity among tho Mugwumps. At present he
is practically a President without a party
and withont an iutiuential political friend.
Tbe only good things which still stand to
his credit in the estimation of all are hon
esty and pines. The latter is as obvious I
the sun at noon, and tbe inconsistencies in
which h) has been detected are not sufll
citntiy serious, ns yet, to impugn the in
leunty of bis intentions. But uf late tha
administration is beginning to be alluded
to In many quarters aa prospectively a fail
ure. on necount of the President's lack of
judgment and his self-sufficiency. It
not help being a failure in a political at |
with tha majority of the Democratic party
arrayed against tbe President on most of
the important questions of the day.
