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. Shreds and Patchei.

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. It Grows Brighter.

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.

A MxsaAcnusrrra exchange says; “Tho Governor of Georgia haa pardoned a negro who waa sentenced to the penitentiary for life, away buck in war time, for stealing two dollars worth of cotton."
