About Petitions*
Everybody knows how eaaily peti
tions are gotten up, and how utterly
worthless they are and always have
been aa to the conveyance ot the real
sentiments ol the signers. We have
never met bat one man who could not
bo induced to sign a petition for any
body under any circumstances.. Most
men will sign anything except an obli
gation for an honest debt.
At first it was given out that peti
tions were tbo tilings to obtain olllccs
under the new administration. After
tons of these had been industriously
manufactured and filed, it was said
that petitions were no good except for
i indling. Hut a petition lias gotten sn
office and a good one, at that. * Mr.
Buck, of the Midway Clipper, a weekly
but powerful provincial journal of Ken
tucky, lias been appointed minister to
Peru.
When tlio appointment reached the
Senate, Senator Beck rushed for the
State Department and objected vio
lently.
“He is strongly recommended,” re
adied Mr. Bayard.
■“By whom?" asked Mr. Beck.
l“By you, for one,” quickly replied
Mr. Bayard.
Mr. Beck was amaxed. Mr. Buck’s
petition was one of the many he had
signed without thinking, and now he
was without a word of reply when con
fronted with Ids act. He asked for
twenty-four hours in which to find out
something about the man he had recom
mended. Mr. Bayard would not promise
to hold np the nomination, and an hour
later, while Mr. Beck was engaged in
writing out a formal protest, the Pres
ident’s messenger arrived at the Capi
tol with the nomination in his hand.
Tlmt, oi course, settled it. Mr. Beck
could only swallow his discomfiture,
and reflect on the power of n man’i
name, sometimes, on a petition which
lie lias signed only to accommodate the
petitioner.
Senator Beck bad forgotten to send a
letter explaining that he meant noth
ing by signing Buck's petition, and
Buck got tho office. Office-seekers
should not rely too strongly upon this
precedent. Perhaps, like Pearson’s
appointment, it ia an exceptional case.

A Declaration of War.
Tito ltepublican Senate has adjourn
ed with a declaration ot war against
'resident Cleveland.
Tito Republican Senators will vote to
confirm the following cases: - 1. Heads
of departments, assistant secretaries or
heads of bureaus, even in cases of re
moval. 2. In all cases of foreign min
isters, whether the old incumbents re
sign or are removed. 3. In coses where
the official term lias expired and a re
spectable nominee is appointed. But
they will not confirm a Democrat ap
pointed to take the place of a ltepubli
can whose term has not expired. Tbo
Republicans have a majority and can
enforce this policy. They also refuse to
acknowledge as “causo” for removal
“offensive partisanship.’’
So it is qultp plain that without a
great change and n better understand
ing, there will he lively times at the
next session of Congress. Tho Senate
cannot prevent the President from re
calling foreign representatives ner from
removing domestic officials, hut it can
reject any successors ho may appoint.
In this way a galling fight may be kopt
np. The Republican party has notified
its (riendi and members now in office
to “stick.” By failing to confirm son-
dry appointments Republican officials
are now enjoying their places on full
pay.
It will be curious to tee upon which
aide the mugwumps may array them
selves in this fight. It must be Yemeni
be red that tbo mugwumps are Repub
lican* masquerading as reformers in
the interest of certain friends and
measures. It ia just possible
that if the attitude and
designs of the Republican Senators
had been (ally understood Mr. Pearson
might have experienced more difficulty
in remaining in his snng berth.
Mr. Cleveland will have a call for all
of hia backbone, hia patience and his
diplomacy in the contest with a set of
desperate and unscrupulous partisans,
who will fight for plunder aa a rat does
(or hia bole.
for purposes inadequate to the value of
tho property.
The reserve jituated below the city,
exclusive of the park property, and
consisting of hundreds of acres of land,
is valued by competent judges at from
*20,000 to *30,000. We will call i t *20,-
000. The stockade and yard in the
rear of the city hall is worth at a low
estimate, and parties stand ready to
buy it at *10,000.
Halt of Tatnnll square will bring
easily fifteen thousand dollars.
The reserve near the residence of 8.
T. Coleman is valued at twenty thou
sand dollars.
Hero is property valued at *00,000—
it is worth nearer *100,000—of little
use to tho city. True, a portion of the
reserve is used as a dumping ground,
and tho city hall stockade is an im
pounding pen and encloses tho bar
racks. This is all.
To sell some of this property would
require an act of the Legislature, but
we are informed by competent attor
neys that the city could in a short time
realise upon all if it were desirable to
sell all.
The time lias come when the city
should realize upon a portion of these
assets. Every lot sold increases the
tax total nt once, and swells it as im
provements are placed npon the lots.
It is safe to say thnt if $10,000 worth
tills property weiw sold, in five
years the city would realize
five thousand dollars in taxes from it.
But if the money derived from the
sale was spent in beautifying the streets,
the adjoining property would also in
crease in value and largely swell tho
sum total.
The time has come for the city to
spend a portion of this reserve sum on
improvements. It should he spent for
no other purpose.
Council could not do a wiser tiling
than to create a commission of compe
tent men, and turn over to it mow
the public reserves, to be sold and ap
plied to betterments. Land in a city
of most value to the corporation when
held by private citizens, and the prop
erty that fronts on handsome streets
improves in value as the street im
proves in beauty.
Eoonomy and KxtravaKonce.
Tito Journal of Commerce states that
the taxpayer will be greatly reassured
when he realizes that the President
and cabinet, now tho butt of ridicule
because of their economy, are accused
oi nothing worse than cheese-paring.
The Journal then proceeds to advise
the paragraphers os follows:
If the fanny men want sn appropriate bntt

It le a hotbed of etnecurltm end extravagance.
It provides assy work end lihersl pay for s

There le no piece In Washington whore a stiff

tho Senators whoso party controls that
that body do not feel Inclined to let tho "other
end of tho arenu#'' heir off til tho honors to
getnod by economy. But they
will led It extremely difficult to win
over a majority of tho Senate to the new doo-
trine of retrenchment. It will meet with but
little faror from those ten or a dozen commit
tees who here been authorized to spend tho
public money on a good lime during the recess.
This leone of the most flagrant of Senatorial
abases. It enables Senators to defray their ex
penses st the fashionable watering places wlth-
ont rendering any equivalent In nsefnl pnbllo
labor. Newspapers have a peculiar right to
eomplaln of thla, because they are expected
to publish reports ot the movements, eaylngt
and doings of these vagrant committees. And
yet In some cues the committees do nolren-
det sn account ot their stewardship when they
return to Washington, and nothing whatever
results from their pretentious Investigations.

The above paragraph, which appeared In
the TiLEOBAra n week or two since, has
been construed by some to be an endoree-
ment of a letter written by a traveling cor
respondent ol the Journal of Commerce.

How It Can be Done.
Ypitou TcLzoaara and Missaxosa-Gaa-
TLxasa: I have noticed with pleasure your
efforts to arouse eome Interest In our streets
sod public property, and sincerely wish you
■accuse. Macon's citizens have done all In
their power to Improve the appearance of tbs
city. Anything else will have to come frost
the city council, and I don't know how the
council could apply any fanda they may hava
ta bond hereafter to beuer advantage than by
•spending them npon the streets, bridges end
public bnlldings.
The present trouble, I understand, arises
from the feet that the city has no extra land
on hand, nor any method of raising each fund.
If 1 am not mistaken, the (nance committee
will toon have to strnsgle with a deficit of

tloaally barred from Increasing Itadsbt. per
ha-.t It may be acted upon. Vary respect
fully, Ctrv OrncEn.
In view of the circumstances stated
in the above letter, the question with
which it closes ta natural. The Tata
gbafii has been to some trouble to give
a clear answer.
The city of Macon is not poor. Prob
ably no Southern city stand* better,
financially. The public debt lias been
provide! for and disposed of. The only
problem now, U, how to run the city
upon it* income and conduct needed
improvements?
The reply to this ta by economy and
good management the. income ot the
city may by made sufficient to pay its
running expenses.
The improvements demanded by the
city demand a new fond. This fund
can be obtained from the tale of public
l,orii used, held
Gen, Lawton's Casa.
Tho Senate being prepared to say
that Andrew Johnaon’s pardons were
worthless and that an ex pool facto
law was good, nothing wu left to the
President butt > withdraw the nomina
tion of Gen. Lawton as minister to
Russia.
If, aa it is said, this is the only ob
jection to the confirmation ot the nom
ination, a bill can he passed relieving
Gen. Lawton when Congress meets
in December next, and bis
appointment may be renewed. In this
little incident the country may ice why
the Republicans have always opposed
a general amnesty bill.
A gentleman who watches snch mat
ters with interest informs us that the
Senate has confirmed men with the
same objections resting against them
aa are raised against General Lawton
but that they had become Republicans.
Nothing stands in the way of a Repub
lican, not even the constitution itself.
