about tlie same age. They are both
young and are noted for their b«mry
and accomplishments. HUs Mitchell
Is to marry a man who lias daughters
older than she is, but who has great
wealth and holds one of the bight
places In tlie diplomatic service oi
England. Miss Dolph Is to marry a
comparatively young man, without
fortune and without any immediate
prospect of Improving Ills financial af
fair*. His salary for a year, in all
probability, wouldn't pay for the
dresses which Miss Dolph is accustom
ed to have in a single Washington sea
son.
But which lady will be the happier?
That question, of course, it is impossi
ble to answer. It is to be hoped tliat
both will have their expectations fully
realized. Miss Mitchell will have an
unlimited purse to draw upon and will
still be a leader in tlie great social
world whether her home is in this
country or England. Her husband,on
account of his age, and perhaps Indi
cations of the gout, may not care
much foi> the gayeties of the social
world, and may even insist upou
quiet home life. This may mar Miss
Mitchell's happiness to some extent,
but if she is a good mauager she need
not make many social sacrifices.
“But Low will it be with Miss
Dolph ? The niau she is to marry is
still at tliat time of life when social
pleasures are very attractive, and lie
Is, doubtless, as ready to jolu In the
dance as a boy of eighteeu. But to
keep along with tlie social procession
requires money, and Miss Dolph will
have to drop out of it when she unites
her fortunes with the newspaper man,
unless her millionaire father comes
forward with a very attractive che»
on tier Wedding day. But whether the
check is forthcoming or not the chances
are that Miss Dolph's lot will prove to
be a happier one than that of her
friend Mis9 Mitchell. If slie is marry

their petition has been granted. The

their action was that they preferred to
have their husbands drink at home
rather than do so at Harrisburg, two
miles away. A similar petition was
perhaps never offered.
The Fort Worth (Tex.) Gazette puts
It down thus: “The newspaper is a
reflex of the town. A paper filled
with advertisements Indicates a town
full of business. A newspaper with
out advertisements Indicates a town
without business. A newspaper tliat

By tiie latest figures from the bureau

consumed 72,361,614 gallons of spirits,
22,067,220 gallons of wine, and 642,-
967,720 gallons of malt liquors. Com
pared with 1860 the consumption of
•plrlts was in these twenty-seven
years diminished from 2.86 gallons
per capita to 1.24, while that of malt
liquors has increased from 3-22 to
11.18. Wines have remained about as
In 1860, that is about one-third of a

The Macon Telegraph is getting the
praise ot the Republican papers at the
North for its advocacy of the Republi
can doctrine of a high protective tariff.
Here is a little taffy that the Chicago
Inter-Ocean gives It, and the Telegraph
actually has the gall to reproduce it
in its editorial columns:
‘‘There are indications of a change.
The Macon Telegraph was for a long
time the only Democratic newspaper
of the South that advocated protection;
to-day the mental, If not numericaL
superiority is unquestionably with the
pro-tariff press. Congressmen and

There are “Ins” and “Outs”
Washington society, as iu national
politics. The “Ins” are those who now
take the lead In the social world, dud
tiie “Outs” are those who occupied
similar positions during previous ad
ministrations. The Washington cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier-
Journal says there is considerable
feeling between the two factious,
which promises to result in open con
flict when the next social season opens,
if not sooner. The cause of the trouble
seems to be that the “Ins” have com
pletely overshadowed their predeces
sors in point of grandeur aud display
at entertainments, in addition to iguor*
ing them in distributing their invita
tions. Under Republican Administra
tions the Army and Navy people ruled
Iu Washington society as well as in
Congress, and sometimes the Courts of
Justice. Many wealthy civilians were
anxious to get into tiie giddy whirl
but they were barred out by the brass-
button brigade. With tiie advent of
the present administration a new so
cial circle was formed, in which civil
Ians are the leading spirits. Under tiie
new regime the social entertainments
have been given with such splendor
that the pace soon became too warm
and too extravagant for the brass but
tons. and they were slowly but surely
crowded out into the cold.
The New York Tribune is evidently
sore over tiie honors recently paid to
the memory of John C. Calhoun, and
makes a dig at President Cleveland
for the respectful language which lie
employed in declining the invitation
that was extended to him to be pres
ent. The Tribune says: “Now that
John C. Calhoun has beeu honored. It
Is in order to let Jefferson Davis have
his innings. Have you your eulogistic
letter of regret ready, Mr. Cleve
land.” The Tribune may rest assured
that tlie President of the late Confed
eracy will “have his innings'* and be
givtfu a fitting monument by the peo
ple of £he South when tlie time comes.
Almighty God has favored Mr.
Davis with a longer lease
upon life than lias keen allotted to
most of Ids contemporaries on either
side during the late unpleasantness,
and the people of the South are duly
thankful for this, aud are proud of the
grand old man in hls'declining years.
When his race is run and the people
of the South can no longer honor him
as a living man, they will honor tiiu
dead hero with a monument that will
make the Tribune Sure enough.
The Atlanta Constitution says It has
received a number of letters and postal
cards from various parts of the coun
try inquiring as to the results of the
meeting of the interstate railroad com
mission in Atlanta. Of course the
Constitution is unable to furnish the
desired information, for the simple
reason that no “results” have been
reached by the commission. The main
trouble with tlie commissioners seems
to be that they don't know what to do.
The law which Congress has given
them to administer is a sort of boome
rang, and tiie commissioners are evi
dently hunting for ways and means of
dealing with It without crippling the
commerce of tiie con utry. Their pres
ent tour of the S -nth is merely a
search after Information which they
must have before they can intelligent
ly and equitably administer the con
glomerated law that has been given
them.
Very small things In the hands of a
shrewd detective sometimes lead to
the apprehension of criminals. A bur
glary was committed in Atlanta on
Tuesday night. Detective Bedford,
in looking over the premises the next
morning, picked np a vest button. Iu
the afternoon he saw a Negro on the
street wearing a vest with buttons
similar to the one he had found. Upon
close inspection just one bntton was
found missing from the vest, and in
this way the detective spotted his man.
The Constitution is in error when it
asserts tliat tiie present tariff “is uot
much higher, ami very little more
protective, than the tariff bill signed by
James Buchanan, who was a Demo
cratic President.'’ James Buchanan
was President from 1857 to 1861. In
I860 tiie ad valormu rates of the tariff
averaged about 20 per cent. The
rates to-day average over 40 per ceut.
The Buchanan tariff was an expe
diency to raise a revenue sufficient to
run the government economically ad
ministered. ' The present tariff far ex-
ceeus tlie demands of the government,
besides containing enormous protect
ive rates, jvhich In their very nature
and essence are inimical to Democratic
theories of just and freegoveiument.
The News and Advertiser, like its
contemporary, favors iudirfeef taxa
tion through customs duties, rather
than the laying of a direct ad valorem
tax tor} the purposes of the general
goverunient, but it certainly does not
desire to see the present iuiquitons
system of protection perpetuated. It
is uothiug more than creating a privi
leged class, to whom an annuity,
wrung from tiie over-taxed 'people,
paid. Nothing could be more undem
ocratic. John C. Calhoun's political
sheboletii was “Protection to all, priv
ileges to none.”
Iu Washington's and Jefferson's
time, a tariff was in force, yet it was
not burdensome. Protection had not
then sougilt to levy a contribution on
the toiling masses. The average rate
of tariff tax under the first adminis
trations of the United States were
smaller than the tariff of Buchanan.
The fear of the Constitution is that
free traders will Inaugurate and carry
out a tariff revision and revenue re
form. Free traders are in a hopeless
minority; but the Democratic policy
of a just tariff revision and revenue re
form will prevail. It U useless to at
tempt to prejudice this question hv
alluding to tlie supporters of the true,
uucorrupted Democratic doctrine as
free traders. The country under
stands what they an?, and they are not.
deceived by the professions of loyalty
to parly principles by those who are
in favor of continuing a burdensome
tax to protect a privileged few.
Modern improvements in rapid
transportation have produced some re
sults that are very striking. Every
section of this vast union of States is
bound to tlie others in ties of commer
cial interest. The exchange of com
modities lias brought the people of the
remotest sections in intercourse, and
there is a growing exchange of cour
tesies. The truth is, the railroads are
list making the country hotnogene-
t. The differences * on economic
questions, that were once localized to
sections, have become differences be
tween individuals of every section.
The press of every section has more
individuality; whereas, tlie country
press was once like so mauy satellites
of a system that reflected the light of
one metropolitan paper; but now each
paper Is a separate point of light, and
dances attendance upon the wishes of
no organ. The people of a section
under the wide circulation of newspa
pers are no longer dependent upon
tiie local paper for information, and it
frequently happens that the local
press and tlie people are apart. Does
it not seem that the force of circuin
stances are tending towards making
this a nation, whether or no?

The Lttle ponds tliat hafe formed

railroad and Ice factory artesian wells,
have become stocked with fish. Trout,

out of these places in large numbers,
by boys with brush drags, recently.
Although tlie water Is shallow, the

Where (he Liquor Goes.
The Chicago Tribune adds sonic
striking figures to those recently pub
lished by the bureau statistics, show
ing the annual average expenditure for
liquor in the United States.
The total expenditure last year was
$700,000,000, which was paid out by
15,000,000 people, about one-fourth of
tlie population of the country. The
agricultural classes consumed about
ten per cent, only of the whole am
ount, or about as much as is consumed
iu Chicago alone. That city has 3,300
saloons, and it is estimated that they
average $12 a day at least.. This is
equivalent to about $40,000 a day, or
$14,600,000 a J’ear, for all. Of this
amount, says tlie Tribune, 75,000
wage-earners in the city contribute
not less than $10,000,060— a sum wliich
would supply houses for 3,000 lamilies
every year.
These facts lead the Tribune to
commend very warmly the
recent manifesto issued by the
Knights of Labor. enjoining
total abstinence from liquor ujioii tiie
mem be re of that organization. Tlie
poverty and discontent Kiuoug the
lower classes In Chicago it believes to
be attributable to intemperance only,
and it would welcome any measure
whieh will tend to reduce the tempta
tions to which they are exposed and
give them a chance to assert their bet
ter nature.
Dr. T. O. Powell, in his address to
tlie Georgia Medical Association, of
whieh he is president, said that “while
under the laws ol* Georgia the de-
nicnted Inebriate can lie coin mitred
to the insane asylum, there are obvi
ous reasons why there should be a sep
arate institution for them.” This is
true, and deserves the thoughtful con
sideration of our legislators. The
State of Georgia cannot afford to prac
tice economy when the well-being
ami, (wrhaps, restoration to sanity of
her afflicted sons and daughters is In
volved. ’
If any evidence were wanting to
prove that John C. Calhoun was a
great and good man, the fact tliat tiie
average Republican paper and .high
tariff organ is busily engaged in bang
ing that venerable personage all over
tiie stage, ought to lie sufficient. When
Secretary Lamar delivered tliat ora
tion. he probably didn’t know of the
kindness he was doing in furnishing
the average Republican editor with
something on - which he could illus
trate his powers as a political knocker-
out. The Republican editors have

ly than the vice of opium eating, and
no habit takes more rapid hold of its
unsuspecting victim. Let opinm be
tabooed.
It is evident that oleomargarine will
have to go. Indeed, it seems that its
sale lias almost entirely ceased in New
York. Forty-eight dealers and man
ufacturers in thatcity walked np to the
“Protection to ail, privileges to none.”
That fundamental doctrine of right
found an able advocate in the most
distinguished, the most astute of
the South's many able statesmen.
The truth is the South is being hedged
about by influences that seek to sever
her allegiance to the doctrines promul
gated by her wisest aud best states-
tor Beck, being content to labor for the
interest of his people and party in the
more humble position as member of
the House of Representatives. In an
Interview by the Courier-Journal, Mr.
Carlisle expressed a belief that the
House would, during the next Con-
gress^ass a bill materially redueingtlie
present tariff bill, but he could not
confidently expect such .a bill of
revenue reform as the Democrats
would like to have. The counLry
would be glad for a small measure of
relief, chosiug to take A half loaf rather
than no bread at all.
Tb/s was done on advice of counsel,
who informed the unhappy law-break
ers tin it tlie last Court of Appeals de
cision 3eft them no chance to escape.

tance to ourowu i>eo:l- of giving this rity and
county theproinioenci* they desCwc }»y set
ting forth in an attractive; yet not overdrawn,
style their natural advantages lo tlios>* iu the
North and I-TnSt vrho are seeking homes and
investments in ifae Sooth. Tin* need of sneh
advert i-sement of Albany no I Dougherty
County aa we propose to get tip is recognized
and felt by ali wlio arc interested in the
growth of the Artesian City and the develop
ment of tlm vast natur e! rcMOtrces of I 'ough-
erty County.
It Is our Mur|M*c to represent Albany an-
Dougherty County as they are. We shall not
compile a pamphlet of exaggerated state-
a caiciilatmt u> deceive and dis.*ip|»oint
those who may (w attracted hither, but -shall
confine ourselves lo farts. We ue<*«l imi(
stretch (he imaginatuTh ««»r* go beyond tlie
confines of (ruth to show tint we 'lmvi; the
healthiest auifniost attractive city iu SoOlh-
west Georgia, and that tlie fer.i’c and rieh’y
timbered lands of Dougherty County offer
groat inducements to capital ami iinmigra*
on.
With the donblc purpose of making our
pamphlet attractive and presenting such* at
tractions aa we shall ad venire In a-true light,
we shall embellish the work with photograph
ic engravings of some of the handsomest
residences and other buildings in the city, and
a few scenes in tbe country These illustra
tions will be made from- photographs taken
by a special artist engaged for tlie purpose,
While we shall, of cou* se, edit the public
tion and shape it for the printer, we do not
expect to do all tbe writing for it. Special
articles on different snbjectswill beVrittten
by several ef our citizens whose familiarity
with the subjects assigned to tbem well qual
iff them for the work.
We propose to make an all-summer work of
this pamphlet, and when it is completed we
want it to not only speak well for Albany and
Dougherty County, but to reflect credit upon
ns as its publishers as well. Such a publica
tion will cost much hard work and a consid
erable outlay of money. The work'we are
willing to do a* our contribution to tbe enter
prise; thc money we hope to get from oar city
and county autborites, from private subscrip
tions and for advertisements inserted by pri
vate individuals who have property for sale
or may want toavail themselves of this adver
tising medium for any other legitimate pur
pose. The pamphlet will be distributed free,
and due care will be exercised to distribute
the entire edition judiciously.
We are now getting up tbe data for this
work, and solicit the co-operation and mate
rial aid of all our fellow-citizens who arc
willing to help tbe enterprise.
