progress of Georgia that has over been
made.
It is not a local show; It includes the
entire *tate. Tfiher citiea have had ex-
posititonsto advertise local enterprises,
but all Georgia is to be represented in
the great enterprise which will be opened
to the public hero next Wednesday to
continue for ten days.
The prize county exhibits alone would
make a better showing for tho fetate than
any other fair of the year, for the compe
tition will draw into line ten or twelve
of the most progressive counties in Geor
gia and they nre coming at their best.
Tho individual exhibits of farmers in
all parts of the state will supplement this
grand nucleus with a variety ami wealth
of products which will surprise even
Georgians.
The mechanical and mercantile dis
plays will be better than thoso at any
former State Fair. In the domestic de
partment there will Lo abundant evi
dences of the ingenuity and industry of
Georgia women. The most notable
things at the State Fair of last year were
the splendid show of Georgia raised
stock and tho beautiful exhibits of
Georgia dairy products. Tho record
made then in these important depart
ments will bo eclipsed at the coming
fair. A display of blooded Georgia
stock, such ns has never been gotten to
gether, will be made in Macon this week,
and the duirics of Georgia will be repre
sented as they never woro before. There
it a varied and entertaining programme,
including races, shows of blooded stock
in special contests, a cavalry tilt, balloon
Disiueu'i old district l.aa «l«tnd » ! ascensions, and a Variety of other attno-
Gbdstonian to parliament. Tilings pi-1 tion&
liticaldo move even in England, and
with reasonable celerity.
The country gets along well without a
commissioner of pensions, and Mr. Har
rison will add to his popularity by al
lowing the present arrangement to con
tinue as long as possible.
Ok account of tho way in which the
programme was arranged, it was impos-
riblc for our Southern Cadets to bring
away all the prizes from the Atlanta
drill.
The sheriff has sold out Russell Harri

THE Australian election law worked

made ample preparations to care for the

Delay la Iks Admlnl* (ration of
contract of a farm would provide (or the
maintenance of the condition of the
land and buildings. In the case of the
farm, it would bo understood, without
specification In the lease contract, that,
if the lessee increased the fertility of 11*
•oil, dug ditches to drain it, or built ad
ditional barns to store his increased
crops, the improvements would not ho at
tho expense of the owner, but would be
long to him at the end of the lease. The
railroad case is the same. The lessees
bare changed iron rails to steel l e-Wtise
they found it economical to do so;
they have built iron bridges rather
than pay the exponso of contin
ually repairing wooden ones and
taks the risk of costly accidents
which the running of trains greatly in
creased in weight would involve if the
latter were retained. The new side track
was laid for the same reason; with the
increase of their business tho lessees
were obliged to provide additional facili
ties for liaudiing it. Everything tlnty
did was in their own interest, not lb the
state's; and the presumption is 'that for
every dollar expended in improvements
necessary to their business they have
been repaid. If thfey made improve
ments for which they have not been re
paid, ii was tho result of errors of judg
ment for which tho state is in no sense
n^pjnsiblc. It can be safely said
that tho lessees expected to get
tho valuo of every dollar expend
ed in improvements in a cor
responding improvement of their
business, or in economy of administra
tion. Wo do not believe they were dis-
apjoinieri, but if they'were that is nono
of the state's business. It seems clear to
us that permanent improvements put on
the state's pro] arty by a tenant in the
prosecution of his profitable buhinet*,
for which ho has been amply repaid in
tho returns from that business, and
which ho Wma free not to make, are in
law and equity tho property of the state
at tho end of tho lease.

Cardinal Gibbons touches upon a subj« o
which is of interest in every part of the
country—the delay in the administra
tion of justice by our courts. The evil
is not confined to any one state, but al
most equally atfiicts all In Illinois
weeks have parsed while a criminal court
has endeavored to select twelve proper
men to try the case of five men charged
with murder. Even tha. preliminary
work is not yet completed. The techni
calities which the law furnishes so abun
dantly bare b.-en taken advantage of by
the counsel of tho accused, who have
succeeded in proving that It la almost
itni>os*iblo to inquire into the guilt or in-
nrw-mi'p of men accused of great crimes
in the manner prescribed by the statutgs
and the courts. The more heinous the
crime the more difficult to punish its per
petrator by the use of the legal machinery
now provided to protect society, which ia
effective in the proportion that its work
i« not absolutely necessary. A petty
thief may be promptly scat to prison; it
takos weeks or months of unremitting
effort to convict a murderer, and conv lo
tion may only mesa that the first of
any cbanoca has gone ». sinst the

penalty of his crime, many months, or
perhaps year*, will havo elapsed, and his
experience serves to Ulustrato the
faults of our judicial system rather than
the consequences of wrongdoing. Under
uch circumstances the greater part of
the moral effect of capital puniahmaut ia
h*t, and it is the moral effect only on
bad men that justifies society in deliber
ately taking the Ufa of oot of its mem
ber* guilty of crimes
The Cronin case Is only one of many
tluit might be cited to prove the existence
end the importance of the evil com
plained of. Others hardly less notable
have occurred in almod every state, and
a* our civilization becomes more com
plex and the people bettor informed they
are more frequent. It almost seems
that we have outgrown the methods of
pmceduro which were once ail that was
n&ded, and that radical reforms are
necereary. That Cardinal Gibbons has a
proper appreciation of the situation, the
following extract will show:
A crying evil is the wide Interval
that so often interposes betw een a crim
inal conviction anu the execution of the
sentence, and the freuuent defeat of
ju*tka bj the delay. Human life is in
deed eacred, but the laudable efforts to
guard it have gone beyond bounds, of
late years the difficulty to convict, in
murder trials especially, baa greatly in
been forced to pay from the first. Its
property could have been seized by the
Tennessee authorities. If tiio icsei
thought they did not owe the largo sum
which they hare paid in taxes, it is a
little strange that they paid it without
protest year after year, wit I o-.it bring
ing the matter to an Lwue in the courts.
The putting in of the claim makes it
certain tlwt the present session of the
legislature is not yet near Us tn<l. The
situation is worse complicated than be
fore, with very little ct.ance of an caqy
settlement The enormous claim
by tho let shs cannot he allowed, and
compromise is almost«qually impossible.
The manner in which !h* «ns«ti«n 4
dealt with by the legislature will be in
tently watched by the people of the
state.

Tho American Forestry Association
wns organized about eight years ago
and this week has been holding its an
nual congtess in Philadelphia.
Tho attendance has been larger than
mud, nearly every state and territory
being represented. Interest In the a*so-
ciation has grown steadily since its or
ganization and there esn be no doubt
t at it lias been the means of instituting
pi a ticnl reform* in the care of our
forests. 1 here reforms have not been ao
great or decided as they should have
been, but the work of the association has
awakened a popular interest in economic
forestry which roust glow and be fruit
ful of good results. In a few of the
states Arbor Day in now observed almost
universally. Millions of trees are planted
every year cn this wholesome holiday,
and the care of the forests has become
an element in common school education.
The slack observance of the several
Arbor Days which havo been set apart
in Georgia ia to be regretted, but it
should not discourage the friends of this
good cause. They are engaged in a
campaign of education and it will not be
long before Arbor Day will mean some
thing in Georgia.
At the session of the National Forestry
congress last Wednesday, the waste of
the public timber lands was discuawd,
and a number of valuable suggestions
were made. The sense of the congress
was embodied in a petition to congrew
for the passage of an act withdrawing
all forest lands from sale and committing
them to the care of the War Depart*

There will never, in all prolnbility,
be any common language for all civil
ized peoples. The artificial languages,
such as Yolapuk, Intended to bo uni
versal, may amuse and interest a few
persons of each nation, but they ran
never amount to moto than mere phlio-
logle.1 toys But while tbJr to true, a
com perl-on will allow that a compara
tively short period of time bos proved
sufficient, under modern conditions, to
of tho principal languages of the world.
At tho beginning of tbit century only
■bout 20.14-0,000 peopio spoke Engikh,
w lill. 81,000,000 spoke French, 3),500,00)
German, 81,(00,000 Russian and more
Ihnn 20,000,000 Spanish. It will bo seen
lliat in relative importance English wot
far behind all tha other chtot European
language.. If the number of peoptoniwak
ing it only bo considered. Of the Ml,-
800,000 speaking the raven most Im
portant languages, Irra Ilian 13 per cent,
spoke English, while 10.8 spoke French,
18.9 Russian, 18.4 German and 18 Spam
Uh.
Since the century began, however,
there has been a great change. English
now spoken by about 181,(00,OX)
people, or 81 per cent, of the 409,000,0(0
to which the populatlea using tho same
languages spoken of havo grown; So,,
000,000 speak French, 70,0(0,000 German,
70,000,0X) Russian and 40,000,000 Span.
Ish. The English language baa enor
mously outgrown its rirais, and within
a generation will doutttois be spoken
by twin as many people as any oilier
European language.
The causes which hare brought about
this change are still at work. Tbe parts
of lbs world in which then to room for
expansion, where population to needed
to develop their natural rssouroae, are
largely la the control at English-speak
ing people. Tbe United States, Canada,
South Africa, Australia art all in their
infancy and destined, > ach of them, to
support an enormuu English-speaking
population, in every corner of the
world, almost, English lias gained a
foothold and will grow. Even in India,
in recent years, the language has been
accepted to an astonishing extent, and
It to not imporaible that the nor*hern
speech may, in the end, expel the ltd
jarring dialects of that vast peninsula
and occupy the field aluns.
Tiie world will not have a common
language, but the prospects are that

have a language that will so far

DESCTtlFTIOX OF Tn» ISLAND.
In this connection n few word* about
Johnson's Island will 1 e of interest. The
ihlund lieu in Sandusky bay directly op
posite this city and distant a little over
onomile. A half mile from ita north and
east shores lie* Ottawa county, which
forms a peninsula nearly fifteen miles
long with Sanduiky bay bounding it on
tho north and Lake Erie on the north
atul east.
The island ia about one mile long, one
half mile wide and ita east point Is less
tl an one-fourth mile from the mouth of
Sandusky bay. It is thus set like a gem
in the beautiful bay, close to mainland
nnd the busy, moving world and yet
separate and apart from It. Ita til ores
do not rise in rough and rocky outline
from the water, hut by gentle, gradually
ascending grades to the center of the
island on every aide. At many
points the beach ia sandy and
affords splendid natural bathing grounds,
while the finest views are afforded of the
lake to the east, tiie bay and city to the
south and west, and tiie high tablelands
and vine-clad slopes of Ottawa county to
the north and northwest. The island
contains a little over 275 acres, seventy-
five of which are covered by magnificent
young grovi ■ of bluck walnut, hickory
and otiier trees native to this section,
grown up almost wholly since tho dark
:m l unhappy d.ras of civil war. The
grovo covering tho east point where the
cemetery is ■ltqgti'd is especially fine.
About fifty acres are in orchards of
peaches, grapes and other fruits; 150
acres in uuadow and tilled lands for
farming and n quarry of iucxh&uatiblo
lime stone furnizhe* a large annual out
put of lime and building stone.
A lovelier natural spot for a "city of
the dead" could hard y be found any
where. Tho time is cjming when John
son's Island will be converted by the
landscape gardener into one of the most
beautiful resorts in all this summer re
sort region, and when cottages and sum
mer homes by the dozen will du| its
charming shores. It tony not come in
tho lifetime of its 'present .venerable
owner, but it will como, and that before
many years. Nature has designed and
fashioned it and the art of man will yet
utilize it for hia pleasure and profft.
