Buckley Kilgore, of Texts, by George, sir!” Birchall, the English adventurer who was hanged in Canada on Friday, expressed his hearty dislike of newspaper reporters. As the reporters were instru mental in the capture and conviction of Birchall his aversion to them is quite natural The newspaper reporter is one of the most efficient of detectives, and id never loved by criminals. TH* officers of the Stanley expedition went from civilized lands, but a few months in Africa were apparently enough to dovelop in them traits of cruelty and selfishness of tohich the blackest negro on the continent would probably have been asbamod. There was never better evidonce that ci’/iliza- tion Is a very thin veneer indeed. The 3Iaesachuse'.ts democrats have faith in young leadets. They have just elected Mr. Hassell governor, who is only 33, and Mr. Nathan Matthews, the democratic nominee for mayor of Boston, who is certain of success, is only 34. Mr. Sherman Hoar, who was elected to congress as a democrat in the district where resides his uncle, Senator Hoar, is only 281 Within the last few years thousands of young men have come to the Democratic party in Massachusetts Whose fathers were and are republicans and some of them give promise of su perb ssrvico to the party. The election of Judge Miller to fill the tinexplred term ns judgo of the Macon circuit on which he )>cgan under guber natorial appointment nearly a year ago, and bis elsction to tho full term, which trill begin on the Jan. 1, gratifies the peo ple of this circuit Ho has shown him self to bo an excellent judgo in every re spect, and there is every reason to be lieve that so long at he remains on tho bonch tho business of tho court will be thoroughly nnd promptly attended to. Tiie Telegraph congratulates Judge Miller pn his unanimous election and the circuit on securing such a judicial officer r LortifnERiMi tho fsciihai grapo cul ture has proved profitable in many parts of the United States it is a surpr.se to fiud by tho census reports that there ■•to in the entire country only 400,COO sores under vine culture end only 800,000 bearing. California has 150,000 acres of grapes and this leaves the rest of the country with only 230,000 acres. Seven- eighths of the grapo product of Cali fornia ore put into wine and the quality of California wine is constantly improv ing. Nearly 40,000,000 gallons of wine krill be put up iu the Uniteu Stab • this year. The supply of domestic wine 1* probably ample, tut many more gra|>et could be sold than ars now offered. It is strango that tho vineyard interests In Georgia are not larger. Wherever grape culture list been attempted intelligently in central and northern parts of this state it lias boon profitable. Dozens of varieties of excellent grapes are brought to perfection in this state every year and there Is always a ready market for them at prices that pay well Let us have more of them. __ A few years ago all the Georgia state house officers were appointed by ths gov ernor. The constitution of 1878 prov.ded for the election of tho attorney-general, the secretary of state, tlfo comptroller general and the state treasurer. The last legislature placed the otfice of commis sioner of agriculture on the same foot ing. The appointment of the state school commissioner is still left to tho governor, but Mr. Boifeuillct, of Bibb, has intro duced a bill to make this office aho the subject of popular choice. Jt is probable that such a method of choosing the school Commissioner would be more generally utiifactory than appointment by the *ernor. There is certainly as much ion for submitting the choice of this _xer to a popular vote as there is in saving the people to elect the governor’s legal adviser. The tendency for sever* I years post bos been toward the popular election of all the heads of the state de partments, and the state school commis sioner will probably be placed in the tame category as the others. The Alliance- and Ene* that demand was made at the co6t of t power in the nation. It was made against For a good long time the courses run f. . , . 4 . ~ ... .. i .» A.i . .I , , ' the protest of the Constitution, which £. to oootlnoe, butc»„ now pronounco to trippingly the sbibbo- the Southern Allianco Farmer have been so nearly parallel and close together as to suggest tho possibility that those keen-nosed hunter* for place and power ran in n leash. It is not surprising, therefore, that both should now be doing their best to per suade Alliancemen who are members of tlto legislature, that what Georgia needs government from behind closed doors, id that it is their duty to givo her that kind of government. Yesterday the Telegraph reprinted from tho Alliance Farmer a remarkably article, written by a pen abler and more audacious than Copt. Harry Brown’s— presumably that of his associate editor, Col Livingston. We have no doubt that the people of Georgia generally read that article with pleasure, while Alliancemen must have felt no little indignation. To the people generaJjjr jt afforded pleasure, as the bed evidence yet given that the vile attempt to supplant the legislature by the caucus of a secret society, superin* tended by the officers of that society, many of them not even citizens of the state, had failed—and failed through the patriotic courage of Alliancemen. They saw as much rcaion for gratitude in the cause of the failure os in tho failure its If. In self-respecting Alliancemen it must have excited indignation, because it was the meanest attack which could be made on their representatives iu the legislature and a gross misrepresentation of the situation in Atlanta, Colonel Livingston begins by saying, in effect, that in the hotels, lobbies and restaurants of Atlanta the enemies of the Allianco have soduced many Alliance- men from their allegiance. In another place he says some of the work wus done in "private clubs.” Tho meaning of all this is, that Alliancemen who aro rep* resentatives have sold themselves for liquor and food in hotels, restaurants and clubs during tho short week they havo been in Atlanta, and now stand ready, m the service of the “money power and sharks," to destroy tho or* tier to which they nro indebted for their places in tho legislature. It means that or nothing. Col. Livingston expressly states that "professed friend* of the Allianco attend its gatherings and raise these dissensions for the purpose of preventing harmony and unity." At the chief causo of his complaint is that he and othor Alliancouen who are not members of the legislature aro excluded from these gatherings or caucuses, which are entirely mado up of Alliance legis lators, there can be no mistaking his meaning. He means that Alliance mem. bers of tho legislature havo in one week become tho slaves of the infiusncea they were elected to fight. If these insinuations are insults to Alliancemea individually, and they aro, lint shall bo said of Cob Livingston* instructions to Alliances to send delegu* tiens to Atlanta to take care of their representatives? Is our legislation to be done by caucus, and the caucus sur* rounded by crowds of outsiders to pro* vent it swerving in the least degree from the course marked out by CoL Living* ston? That is more than intuit. The proposition Is an outrage on the legiala- ture and on the people. This article makes plainer than before that CoL Livingston does not regard the legislators who are Alliancemen as rep resentatives of tho people of Georgia, but as subordinate tneralera of tho order of which he is the head, and therefore i-uhject to his rule. Ho complains bit* teriy that he and other officers are ex* eluded, along with all other outsiders, from a caucui of legislators, ssying th -y '•are best post d in regird to its [the Alliance's] needs and its opportunities'— as if the bu*inose of the legislature were to work for tho Alliance instead of for the people of Georgia. lfight at this point lies the real issue between CoL Livingston and the AUL anesmen he is trying to bulldoze. They regard themselves ns legislators bound to serve ail the people; be regards them Aillaneenion, wuo happen to be legis lators, but who are nevertheless bound to submit to tho same, influences that control the aecrtt meetings of the order They cannot believe that it is right for interlopers from Maryland to Texas to be given a share—a largo share—in shaping the legislation of Georgia. CoL Livingston is greatly mistaken loth, “Livingston.” Perhaps Some Alli ance members of tho legislature can yet remember the knifing campaign against Cleveland that excited the r indignation in these days. If so. they cau compare it with the campaign of the same char acter which is just ending, of which another noble democrat is the victim. "Bewaro of j'our enemies who come in the guise of friende—they intend to de ceive you for the purpose of ruinivg you; if you listen to them this resu.t will follnw—H* certain a* day follow* night.” The words aro the Constitution’s, but the rjllib County's School*, The last report of the board cf educa* tion is of a character to gratify every citizen of Bibb county. Our system of public schools is thown to be well organ ized, progressive, and in the control of hopeful and earnest men and women. The people havo the light to expect, from the work now being doue and from the spirit manifested by officers and teachers, that the system will continuo to grow in strength and efficiency as the demands upon it increase. The report of Superintendent Settlor shows that during the last school year 5,419 children were enroiledin the f rty- fivo schools of the county, and that tho average daily attendance was 8,479: hat advice is good, and the Telegraph only sog^eHs tint true friends do not adviw Alliunccmin to do anything whica will divide the white people of the South into antsj. oai»ti j class©.; uny thing which will divido nnd weaken the Democratic party, wlio.o tnuiuiofiog demand for justice to the farmers has just shaken the country: anything which will revolutionize our sato system and make ours a government of secrecy: anything which will put corrupt dema gogues iu power In place of the honest men who have heretofore ruled us; or, lastly, anything that will dishonor the best traditions of the Hate by display ing ingratitude for magnificent public service. It ia largely tiue that the issue is one of measures, and not of men ; but when the question of whether Gordon is to be senator or Livingston unquestioned boss of Georgia Is involved, it is inevitable that mcii shall bo considered. Tlie question for Alliancemen to decido is whether their order will be ruined or strengthened by wrongdoing on its part. five c ’ school houses were built dur- A \ob!e Example.

Ia otter coantics, where the term varies from ing the year; that reirly all the country districts are now provided with comfortable buildings, and that, generally, the year has been on© of progress and improvement “Of the work done in the school* by the teachers,” the superintendent remarks, “/ am 6ure f may say ft is (he best wo have ever had,” The total sum expended by the board for tho maintenance of this admirable system of schools, including the cost of new buildings nnd improvements was $31,121.24, as shown by the report .of tho finance committee, and a small balance remains on hand (to commence the now year. Tho cost per pupil, therefore, was $1.01 per month—certainly a very low rate when the character of the schools is considered. In his address the presidont of the board, Mr. R. A. Nisbet, very pardon ably boasts that bibb county has the best system, the host school and the best teachers in the staL, and when he says in tho next aontence that oure is the only county in which the people of every district hate the ad vantages of a nine-months’ school term every year he gives good reason why pressive tribute than that which was paid to Allen G. Thurman on the recent occasion of his 77th birthday. And wo may add that no iionor ever bestowed on a private citizen was ever more richly deserved. Tho grand demonstration and the splendid banquet at Columbus list Thursday and Thursday night were ex pressions of the popular rsgtrd for a man whoso public and private life have been without reproach. Judge Thur man is a great lawyer; ho has been a great political leader. He has served ith the highest distinction in both houses of congress. Several times lie was the choico of n large element of his party as its candlduto for President and in tiie last national campaign was its nominee for Vice-President His share of political honors has been large and his influence upon his state, hi* country and his party very marked. But the {eople of the United States, without re gard to political bias, honor tiiis grand moro for what ho is than for what he has done. Th v see in him the highest type of the American citizen. As a man, as a citizen, in his domestic relations, in his association with his neighbors, as political leader, os states man—in evsry relation which he has sustained during a long and eventful life be has been above reproach. A cleaner name is not to be found on the list of the illustrious men who have fig ured In our politics, nor a gentler and more loveable nature, a bigger heart, a more absolute devotee to the truth as ho saw it. The best legacy Judgo Thurman will leave to bis family is his good name, and the beet service ho has douo bis country Is the building up and preservation of a character as conspicuous for its pure mo tives and lofty aims as for the intell ct- ual force which has won for him fame in the forum and at the bar. When we consider the life and character of this man as President Cleveland said in bis speech at the "Old Roman” banquet It Is given u« to contemplate the Maksut states tnaashl,-. the most unyielding and disinterest* 1 devotion to the inter- at* • f lbn people, and the most valuable achievements In the cause of our country's are fare, all of which have been stimu lated and accomplished through the indue., c* ami Impulse of in* unpervrrted. sturdy American Ism.

The whole school teaching business must in them bec-p.sunl, intermittent, unsatisfactory, wbile with us it affords a good living to tboso em ployed in it, engages their pride and claims their best efforts. Wo are inclined to think that in the experience nt Bibb county tiie legislature may find a true indication of the course legisiatiou on the school question should take. Ours is n county system, built up under a local law ap plying to Bibb county alone. There are no city schools—that is, schools con trolled an i paid for by the city alone— and though it may Le true that tho city bears a somewhat larger proportion of the cost than w< uld fall upon her under a diffoient arrangement the actual re sults have beta entirely satisfactory. There ia nothing with which Macon, aa well aa Bibb county, is better satisfied than her public tchools. Tho same plan applied in other counties might have »qually useful results. Very appropriately, tho printed report of the board is prefaced by a brief sketoh of the life of Judge John O. Gresjinm, accompanied ov n portrait nnd a nca-iy •ngiawd picture of the high school build- log to which Judge Gresham s tamo has been given.

Oglethorpe to have been not only a benevolent man. ^but one of a very high order of ability. is a valuable contribution to tho his- ^^wical iccorde of Georgia, real question ia whether our democratic methods of government shall bo over thrown and other methods substituted. Tbe Atlanta Constitution backs up Col. Livingston bravely. In a double-leaded editorial article it warns Alliancemen in the iegUlatare that CoL Livingston'* plan is the only one by which they can succeed, and that, if they an’agonize it, they should never he given office again, being evidently permeated thoroughly witn CoL Livingston's idea that it ia the business of the Georgia legislature to legislate for the AllUncu, ".stand to|;*Uw/’ it tells Alliance legisla tors; "take help from any source that U friendly, but beware of your enemies who come in the guise of friends —they intend to deceive you for the pur- paw of ruining you." To enablo Alii- ancemcn to distinguish truo friends from euemies who seem to be friends the Constitution would probably suggest as a •tqidytUih the word "Livingston." But though by that test tho Telegraph may be pronounced an Ephraimite, it yet ventures upon a few remarks which may be construed as advice, though not necessarily so, It agrees with the Con stitution that the farmers have a griev ance and a great one. It acknowledges that the farmers in Georgia "have stood by tbe Democratic party in season and out of season, and suffered the greatest amount of discrimination for over twenty years, while the government was pouring out bounthe by the million to banks, manufacturers and elaases**—with the approval tbe Constitution, which was using all iu influence to convince the Bouth that lu only chance of greatness lay in robbing the farmer through the tariff. But the Telegraph denies that "no voice for their relief came.” Tbe voice of the great Democratic party demanded that the robbery of tho farmers cease, and need for the relief of the Unite! Ktales supreme court. His address on the The Law’s Delay" delivered before the A Scarcity of I'ree Pane*, A correspondent writing from Atlanta states that the number of members of IfRiuutare who spent Sunday at (ha capital was greater than is usual during the sessions of ths legUluturo. Tbe cor respondent explain* this phenomenon by saying that none of tiie railroads had is sued passes to the member* of the present legislature. Previous legulatnrcs for a nuinlicr i f years past have Uen lioerally supplied with j a*»es on all the railroads in the state. That is, all tbe member* who would accept passes h»v« had litem. The fuel ihat they have not Uen forth oming yit may be Uuo to the early date in the session. Wo have no doubt that they will be offered from many rat roads in tho state, if not from ali ol them, before the session proceeds much further.

Mr. Hill's address be fore tbe judicitry committee of tbe House in the discharge of this duty was highly complimented by ail who heard U. In a recent article in tiie Atlantic Monthly for November, Mr. Hill has this to say in reference to the plan for tbo establishment of intermediate appellate courts: The key to tbs whole situatioa is Id the dis tinction Rirtadjr mads twiuesu (--dcral sad LUA- fnlvrsl r*v t, ami the application of that dis tinction to legudati m.

It is clear that a.inr thing must be don* to expedite ths final hearing of causctin th# fedaral courts, and there is no good reason why congress may not attend this to important matter before the ith of next March* seif under obligations to tbo railroads, concerning whose rights and privileges there is souie measure proposod at every seeaiou of the legislature. It seems to tbo Tkleqrafu that tho position taken by the small minority is the only one consistent with the dignity and independence of a member of the legislature. The grand jury of Muscogss county recently ia its general present ments referred to this abuse and recom mended that the representatives from that county refuse railroad passes. Ths intelligsnt sentiment of ths people of ths state is undoubtedly fixed against th* practice of leg viators in accepting rail road passes. There have been frequent protests against it but they appear to have produced little effect The present leg islature owes it to itself and tbe state to cut loose from bad precedents in this treatment of th* pass question.

At last the obstruction which has shut th* upper T.nncssoe river from deep water navigation has been removed, and Cliattanoo/a, given to boasting many things that amount to little, has now roal cause to vaunt herself. Mors than fifiy years ago the work of opening tbe river at Mussel Shoals was begun. It has be:m continued al most constantly ever »ince, though tho government appropriations have occa sionally been cut off, and the work has consequently suffered. The shoals are thirty-six milt s long, and it was a tre mendous undertaking to blast out thtir granito floor so ns to make a navigable clmnncL But such a work was demanded undir the ill oral theory of internal im provements which the government long ago adopted. The money expended on this gigantic schea.e is well inre-ted. From it the country will receive an appreciable return tooner than from most of tho ap propriations that have been made for river improvements. Over $3,000,000 has already been used ia the work at Muscle Shoaliv and it may require a million more ta comp'ete the great scheme of cutting* safe pa?sago fur steamboats through this long rocky shelf. Tiie way. however, is already open and stoauil oats may ply between the Gulf of Mexico and Chuttanoogo. The depth of the channel cut through Mussel Shoals is five feet, and there are ek ven locks. Naturally Chat tanooga and Knoxville expect tli;.t tiffs direct communication with deep water will entitle them under the interatate commerce act to lower railroad freight rate* The interstate commissi' n has been in both cities during the past week and lias been duly stuffed with argu ments :n favor of the c aims of both for lower rales. Some concession to these cities will undoubtedly bo granted by tho commisffon, and Loth of them will feel tiie effect of the opening of Mussel Shoals in a very cecided way upon their manu factures and general commerce. Some of our republican exchanges deny that their party is any weaker than it used to be. "There nre more republi cans than over,” they explain, "hut they did not go to the polls.” This explana tion is of n nature to satisfy democrats. The republican who does not go to the polls is not generally a very dangerous anitnaL But why did they refuso to go to tho polls? is a question wh ch must bother the rrpublican leaders just a little. The New York Trees speaks of the Thurman banquet ns "the beginning of the Cleveland boom." Our contemporary is mistakon. The Cleveland booui i egun when the people of tho United States earned what un able, brave and truo tnun he wai; it haa been going on ever since, and will have its most signal triumph on the 4tli of March, 1893, whtn Grover Cleveland will le sworn in as tho •uccwBor of Benjamin Harrison, ths midget President ot the Unitod States.
