How smart thcao Yankees ore! Obtoeal Tajwui ha. renewed hi* raid on tlie surplus. He hat net up a pension shop in Washington in partner ship with tho nortotious Dudley. The corporal will find it much harder to googo the surplus from the outside than frail tho inside. THE report of the Sarannah, America, sod Mon tcouiery road, printed elsewhere, shows that new line to be doing a re markably fine business. We doubt if nay other line in the south can show so large an iuetnaa is tannage moved and earnings, or so low a percentago of oper ating expenoo. A Dtmrocisitrj) republican stump speaker in Iowa during tho last campaign wn wont to remark that "Iowa would go democratic when hell went Methodist.” If be la to he believed, therefore, hit M tanic majesty's dominion, are now a eery good place in which to settle. Iow a is democratic. East year when the protected mann* facturers of Massachusetts gave their employts the tickets which they were ex pected toToto, tho republican majority in Massachusetts was 118,000. Thin year, when the employe*, under the AintnJian ballot system, fixed their tickets to' suit themselves, the republicans carried the state by barely 8.000, Bar. Me. PicEirr, who received such a sound political drubbing from lion. Allen U Candler in tlio ninth district last year, has already announced that ho will ha an independent candlilato again next year. Mr. Candler will not ran again, but the nun who can knock Brother Pickett out will undoubtedly be on hand at the proper time: Eves if congnas acta promptly, which it is not likely to do, there will he no mere than two yean in which to prepare for the great exposition of 1893. The time la too abort if it la hoped to rival tlie exposition which lias just closed in Paris, unlcM the nun in charge have on unlimited commend of money. Under the circumstance i it ia to be feared that in many departments oar show will fall far short of the French. Bexatob Byakis relumed from Europo a few days ago, and as ho stepped on chore was asked what be thought of the recent democratic tidal wave. He re- plied: “It is too soon for me to express myself. I can only eay it was unfortu nate." If it seems unfortunate to a man of Ur. Emits' philosophic turn of mind, who bad nothing directly at (take, how must it appear to Benjamin Harrison and Benjamin Forakcr: Taxu were two women on the board of school commissioner! of New York, and their terms expired a few days ago. A strong effort was nude to induce Mayor tirant to appoint men to the va cancies, but the mayor was true to the gentler sex. One of the women was r»- o [pointed end another woman was put ia the place of the one who failed to get aieooad term. The unanimous testi mony is that the women have made excel lent members of tho board. Mayor Grant 1 us followed the dictates of good judgment os well as the suggestions of courtesy. Aa Atlanta ayodicito a few months ago purchased the Union street railroad of that city for |U5,'<X). It u said that thin property was to'd to Mr. 1L K. Hun ter of New York cay before yesterday for fbffO.OGO. The At.sets eradicate made a pile of money out of the trade. It la probable that the purchse-r will I "f nuke^money,' But another i: Where does the jeneral public is i„. 1 in the Talus of property and its _e because the government is .up. . by Uxathm. If some property pays too Httio then other property m „ R pay too moch. It waa narrated in the TnJtOEAnt how a few days More the mia of this street car property in Atlanta loot spring for |475,0W> it was given ir. for taxes at a valuation of Sn.ML Now that It has been sold for £*>0,004 lh , state may bo allowed to tax it at slant 8100,090. Evidently the theory of volun tary tax returns works some curious effects in Gecsgia, A f.reru Tear for Nlaeoru The year which Is now drawing to a elote has been the moat prosperous in the history of Macon. It hat witnessed, greater growth of the city, more im provement*, a larger net gain in si! tho '•foments of strength than any year that has preceded it. Compared with any other year in tho history of Macon, 1989 will show: A larger increase in population. More new building* and work of a bet ter quality. More new manufacturing enterprise*. More money invented in manufacture*. More mils* ol railroad built from Ma con as a center, Mere general brininess. More improvements on tho street* and in the facilities for city transit. A healthier tone in business and a livelier pj irit of public and private enter- prbe. This has been a treat year for Macon. Two great railroads have been completed. One giving a shorter route to the North and Ea>t, enlarg ing tho commercial territory of the'eity r.nd increasing the competition in freight rate*; the,other opening n rich region to the South which ha* developed t o fact that there are now prosperous towns where, not many month* ago, the engineer corps cut their w ay through the forest. The increase of Macon’s business from the-e two roods has been itr.Tuenae. Work is about to begin on the Macon and Birmingham railroad, which will con* tribute largely to the advantages of Ma con as a commercial und manufacturing center. A dozen new manufacturing enterprises have been set on foot during tlie year. *otne of them already in opera* tion and others in process of construe* attention of capital is turned toward Macon as it never was before. Almost every day there are inquiries from iicnions who contemplate making investments here. The unanimity with which the busi* new men have taken hold of the project to open the Ocmulgee river to naviga tion between Macon and Hawkins- villa and tho convincing reasons presented in favor of this pub lic improvement give a-aurunco that within a short time Macon will have tho benefit of water rates. The importance of this prospect wdl Le appteciatcd when it is rtmembored that the freights now charged against Macon, incoming and outgoing, amount to an average of about $8,000 a day, or fe920,000 a year. The owning of tho river, it is estimated by thoae who havo mode a careful study of tho situation, would save Macon at least $550,010 in freights every year. Macon is not only holding the large territory for which she has long been the main distributing point, but she is ex tending it constantly. Our merchants sold goods this year in founlisMin StOui which they had never received an order before. The commercial position of the city was never so strong as it is to-day. The internal improvement of Macon io proceeding at a rate hitherto unknown. The street work this year has been done on a permanent scale, but the appropri ations have been too meager to accomplish any great results. Tlie adoption of the paving bill means) tho construction of good and lasting struts. /The bond bill, which willfully be adopted, will pro vide for a permanent system of parks, sewers and stroet improvements. Another gratifying thing Istheoxchange of an eH fash*?** «fow hnr>a car aarvica for tho electric oars, which will soon give rapid transit throughout Macon nnd connecting with its sulmrbs. Tho wires have been laid on a large part of the line and soon there will be nothing but electric cars on tho streets of Macon. It will bo tlie first city in the state toaecure a general and thorough system of rapid transit. While the city Is improving so rapidly the suburht share In its good fortune. The number of beautiful resi dences and cosy cottages which have been built this year in Maooo and jo»t outside it* limits la greater than tho average ciixcn supposes. Go to any j>ort of tlie city and you will see new buildings and bear sound of the hammer and trowel busy in the constriution of others. The class of these buildings is uniformly good. They show the contldenca of the people in the city and are to bo the homes of generations to come. The appearance of the business portion of the city has been vastly im, roved this year by the construction of new buildings to replace the ravages of fire or to occupy ground hitherto unused for commercial purposes. Macon is fair to look upon these bright autumn daya. She never looked no well. The record of the current year has been honorable to her and the future never beamed so bright before her. Krero i:nilzr«tion. Tl»e Charleston New* nnd Courier thinks that if tho appropriations made by the Southern states for negro schools were cut off and educational and prop erty qualifications were imposed upon electors the result would be a hegiraof negtoes to the Northern states. This suggestion is made a* the answer the South might make to the force bill which the republicans threaten to peas through congress. It would be a very proper an swer if tho pcoplo who passed the kill only were considered. The republicans, who are so anxiousthat the negro should be treated ns if in every respect the equal of his w hite fellow citizens, should have an opportunity to put their ideas in practice at home under conditions some what similar to those which now obtain at the bouth. No wrong would be dono them by turning loose a lew million negroes in Ohio and Illinois. But the negroes themselves are entitled to consideration. The South cannot afford to declare war upon them, as it w ould in effect do if the course sug gested were followed. To deny the means cf education while establishing an educational test of citizenship would lie an act so unjust and cruel that it would not be tolerated by her justlce- , loving people. The beet defense tlie honth now has against Ute charge of ille gally or unjustly limiting the negro’s ildit of suffrage is that she is trying l»er best to fit him for participation in the government. And tlie white people of tlie South must be considered, to*. They do not want a negro kegira. On the statute book of Georgia there is a law imposing a prohibitory license taxon ! amount of energy in efforts to ©ttrigTntion agent*, the solo purpose of , plish the impossible when practii il and whi h is to prevent negitws from being ! valuable reforms are within tin ««• ptrsuaded to leave the state.

W hat is | the satuo law, we believe, and though posed is .n effect a slate owner-!.i; It may bo an unwhe law, we have | land*, a system which all d ftYery reason to believe that it represents ! food nations abandoned ages I the wish of u Lugo majority of tlie white ' but which was once unite people. * nnd which is yet In vo We think a healthy, natural mig*a j among savages.

Tlie num ber to a pit- tlon of the negroes, by which they would bo gradually scattered among all the states, is a thing greatly to bo desired. Bach a mi^rntim is now going on, though in proportions much too small, h'till, tho next census will show that dur ing ten years many th«>uMin 1* of South ern uegiiN'S have found tlieir way into tho Northern state*. It is desirable that thin movement hhctild be acceforated. but not by making life in the South in tolerable to the negro. Let us continue to treat him as well ns we cun, hut allow the emigration agent** and every other moving influence full play. Open the Ocninlave. At the meeting of tho board of trade yesterday n practical start was made toward tho opening of tho Ocniul- geo river tq navigation. Tho report of the committee which has had this important subject tinder con sideration for some months past was submitted. It ^how* that 11100001101111*0 has attended to its work with great in dustry and care, and demons!rates the feasibility of the proposed improvement, country yet own their lands in comm >n, nnd the only title to jxisscMion i» '*• u- pntion nnd me.

Tho doubt which clouds dm wifulofn of this policy ia whether the Iu- diuns are yet advanced enough in civil- i/.ed wnys to take ei.re of themselves if Mt to their individual resources, cv. u with the good start the government would have given them. Mr. George and the Knights of I/iK>r cannot persuade the people of the Uuited States to go back to Indian ways. Newspapers In Ibo I'nitrd States. The last number of Current Literatsrc gives an interesting sketch of the histerr of newspaper* in the United .Stafc - Benjamin ^Harris put fished the first Aim rican nY w.-pnper nnd its initial mlm- 4 fo r was i.-s.ied in Boston Sept. 25. 1000. t-oucrea, appropriate* litr^t* ...res ercry „ „„ a| , n04t ilnInKliat .,y topptCT , ywtr to streams of far less commercial importance than tho Ocmulgee, and there is evtry reason to believe tlwt the consider dioaa in favor of opening our river to navigation will avail to procure the comparatively small sum which is necessary. The recommendations of the report ore indois 'd by government en gineers, the mayor and conncil of Ma con, and the cotnmiv loners of Bibb county. Tlie facts und figures presented show that the work of opening the river to llawklnsvifio can be accomplished small expense. Tlie report of the United Mates assistant engineer p wn |jji 0 insc It critic ised tlie.locMlgoverninenu The Boston News letter was the flr«t newspaper tliat achieved any con siderable existence, and it did not ap pear until April Jl. 170L The Boston Gaxette was Isaiiad first on tha 21»t of December, 1719, and (he American Weekly Mtrcurie made IU sp- |«arauce in the same city a day later.' The first lively ventute in American journalism was tho New England L'i u- rant, published by James, He eider brother of le ijansin Frai klin. Its number was issued Aug. 17, 17*1. J In 187.> estimated tliat thee xjcnditure of $13,911 would open an «iglity foot chan nel, with four feet depth of water at the lowett stage, from Macon to Hawkina- villo, and that .1 like depth c< uld t<e secured from Hawkinsville to the mouth of the Oconre st a cost of only $<,210 more. It is believed that these estimates good for present conditions. Tlie twelvo counties between Macon nnd tho Altainalia hare an aggregate property value of about $30,0 jO.ih.O, and 3,241,$J2 acres of improved land. Not only this gnat area with its wealth und population is iu- !**mi*d in the openintr of the rivor, but a great territory outside is concerned in the reduction of freights, and tho conse quent cheapening of thesn) plies which it drawn from Macon and other distributive pointa on the river. Tl.a importance of this movement to Macon U almo t im- possible to exaggerate. The committee of the chamber of commerce *how that the number of freight cars coming into and going out ol Mucon in a year is not lets than 80,600, representing on a fair estimate of overage car loads 1,800,000,- 000 pounds of freight Tho avtrage freights charged by tlie railroads against Mscon are not less than $8,000 a day, or $2,920,000 a ye; r. “It is our ojnnkia,' ssy iuv cuiiuuiuw in tlmii report, **tlimt the pi'rcrntage whkh will besavtd by tho Ocmulgee river to Ma- con will not be less than $750,000 per an num.” The experience of Columbus, Augusta and other cities whch enjoy the com petit loo of boat lines with railroads guarantees this estimate. The case aa set forth in the memorial to congress cannot fail to impress that body with the justlco of the modest claim which Macon and the adjacent o iuntrv present. We arp confident that Hon. James II. Blount, the influential representative of this district, will push this matter with great leal, ami tliat fa doing so he will havo the cordial support of the oilier members of the Georgia del- gatkm in tlie House and of tho senators from this state. The Ocmulgee must be opened. The Kslibii and <Jt«»rg**s Land Theory. Mr. Henry George is |*rhai» very much encouraged by tho resolutions passed by tho convention of Knights of Lalior in Atlanta Monday. One of thuee resolutions Is a statement in Iriefi c»t form of his land doctrine, as follows: “That land, in -ludlng all natural re sources of wealth, lathe beritige of all the people, and should not t« subject to siieculativo traffic. Occupation and uso should be tlie only title to the possession of land. Taxes should be levied upon its full valuo for use, exclusive of im provement, and should be sufficient to mako for the community an unntqraed increment.” It U no small triumph for Mr. George to have gained the open support of the most powerful and compact lalwr ergan* izatien In tho country. He has heretofore been looked u| on as an ingenious theo rist, possessed of a beautiful literary stylo, but not os a practical lender in politic*. If tho Kuiglit* of lA'wr gener ally accept the deliverances of their con veution and are willing to express' their opinions at tho bulk* box, he will s<M«p come to bo n girded in a different light. Ho will not become a political leader, in tho common sense, but as the mentor of a workingman's party striving for ih overthrow of the land laws under which modern civilization has grown up ho w’oum ue a force iu |hn*iU.» with the old parties would have to reckon. Dnnug tho present convention there have wen overtures fer a combination twtwecn the KnighU of Labor nnd the Farmers' Alifonoe, and delegates from the former have been appointed to attend the next (armors' contention at 8t. Louis. I’crhape the farmers will not care to combino now. when they know that their allies will seek to have all taset (Hit on land. The farmers art the landholders, <>n I though it I* true tliat they pay the bulk of the taxes already, indirectly, they will not cart to pay them directly. U Is a matter for serious regret that the communistic ideas of Mr. George bavt made so great an Impression on the minds of the Knights of Labor. The effect u likely to be the wasting of a vast was an aggrtiMfe fell .w, and from tha start he fo an to publish very plain {alk in hi* paper. HD caustic criticism on church and state led to tho passage c f a rcYoliiiion iu the Massachusetts leg kU- tura in 1723 forbidding him to puilish tho Crnr.mt or any other paper unlest it should that be supervised by the scire- iary of the province.

If tlio United States ever enter upon the policy of creating outlying col onies or dependencies, Hawaii will be the first. It ia already so thoroughly Ann rican that our government would probabljr go to war rathyr than permit any of tlio colony-H cking European na tion* to seize tlio islands. Tlie history of Hawaii is a tad one, locked at from the humanitarian point of view; but it may have some valuable lessen* for us, who are most responsible, perhaps, for tbeir hard fate. 1* it not significant that Am *rican authority is predominant and American wealth by far the greatest In the only group of i-lcods with wliich wo have compara tively free trade?

Much complaint has recently been made by the merchants hero on account of tho dtliy of citing freight after It. arrival at Columbus. Tito Tklkorapu cormpondent yesterday hud a conversa tion witli Muster of Train Service A. .Ct June, on the subject. Mr. Jones mates tliat tli. depot yard is in tha shaft, of a bottle, tlie neck being tit. alngl. track Unit bugs ito mid wncona pas. under going to vVynnion, anil the Loltoni rest ing on tho pas-euger depot. Over this single track all tint freight train, nnd ail the pa-senger train, corning Into or go- n; out of Columbus each day have to Isis.-. Moreover ovary .witch ongi 0 in billing ears bis to pwa mid re liant over tbi. single track. Each day there nr. twenty-four pamen- gcr train, yotng out and coming Into Columbus mid also eighty-ona freight iniina. 80 during tb. day 118 trains have to past tills tingle piece ot track. The track called the dray-track when the car. are unloading on to drays will only hold thirteen can. nnd often there sre no many as fifty ear. in tb. yard to be unbuded. Tlio yards itora w.ra ar range 1 when Columbus was bottled up by one railroad nnd are now entirely in- atln]uato to tlio amount ot buainess done. 1 rainniaater Jones die. everything in Itis pow er, but without more facilities fur bundling tho freight received 1« it Ls impossible to havecnrs|lncvd promptly betwuo.i here and Birmingtinm where, a few months ago, liter* were only four trains there are now eighteen. This immense increase in business demands tuoie ud*i|uate means to liandie the freight, nnd it is hoped that tha new general m inager, Mr. Cecil Gabt-ctt. will make the changes .1 much needed here.
