The Macon News has uot followed
Its greater brother, the Constitution,
back into the Democratic fold. But
then, Georgia Democrats are able to
do without its influence or help in
carrying the State solidly for tariff re
form. The fact is, it is necessary to
liaveia little opposition. The opposi
tion to tariff reform by tlie Atlanta
Constitution, eventuated in a blessing
to the State. The question was but
little understood, aud tlmfrictim ot
ideas evolved light, by which tlie peo
ple saw tlie right, and the right they
have pursued. The fact is, truth needs
to be contrasted with error, to wear its
brightest, expression, aud true Demo
cratic principles and purposes contrast
brightly with Republicau Ideas of

It is Chief Justice Fuller. Judge
Melville W. Fuller, of Chicago, was
appointed, on Monday, Chief J ustlce of
the Supreme Court. This appoint

President Cleveland has a genius for
making suitable appointments, and
genius, like wit, consists largely
in doing and saying the unexpected.
The appointment is generally approved.

e best of its ability.
Differences of opinion as to the ex
pediency of a political measure or
govermentol policy will always exist
where men exercise the God-given
right to think, bat, at such a crisis as
this, private differences should be for
gotten, lest distentions endanger the
party success. It Is true, the Consti
tution retired from its position only
when tlie evidences were unmistaka
ble that the people of Georgia were un
alterably opposed to its views on the
ariff an internal revenue. But It
matters not, we welcome our Atlauta
contemporary back to the fold.
Why any journal should mortify the
flesh in seeking the advaucemeut of
that which its judgment condemns as
liable “to check, if not permanently
stop, the industrial growth ol the
Sjouth,” we can not see, yet with the
new song in its month, we welcome
our Atlauta contemporary back to the
fold.
The News and Advertiser must
differ with its esteemed contemporary
In what it believes will be the result of
Democratic success under Cleveland
on the platform of his own making,
which la really but an amplification or
the Democraeic platform of 1884 but
discussion is useless, as the Constitu
tions abandonment cf its position
refutes the arguments it advances.
Tlie News and Advertiser recog
nizes that govermental policies are not
to be formed or overthrown in a day.
They are the slow growth of years,
and their effect upon a country and
people is tlie true test of ihelr wisdom
or folly. Protectlou has grown out of
a condition of the country that made
It possible oniy when its injustice was
overshadowed by a plausible show of
lu necessity. Commerce has accom-
itself to It, and, like the
marine curiosity, still carries the para
site after !ts burdensome growth it out
of all proportion. It was therefore,
lu our opinion, wise that President
Cleveland should have made the issues
that he did, and while the suddeu sub
version of the preaeut policy of the
Government would prove too radical
an Innovation, the duty of the Demo
cratic party U to remove the burdens
of unjust and unequal taxation as rap
idly as circumstances will admit. The
history or England, with the mon
strous growth of monopolies under
protection, or class legislation, and its
slow and happy transition from des
potic restraints upon trade, forciug It
out of national channels to Irrigate and
ungenerous interest, to the blessings of
unrestricted commerce, Is full of in
struction of American Statesmen.
But let these questions Aud illumina
tion after tlie Democratic success of
November, when tlie party wishes
will find ample expression in such
changes as the combined wisdom of its
leaders will dictate. In the meantime
tlie Southern press should refuse to
urge any views that would tend to em
barrass the party by internal dessen-
tious.
throughout the South.
The direction which tlie delibera
tions of this convention took, was a
little disappointing to public expecta
tions, In as much as the plan proposed
is open to serious objections:
Firstly: in point of economy. It
looks to the levying of a contribution
of a thousand dollars on all Southern
cities of five thousand inhabitants, and
upon all railroads. This would be un
just and unequal, and is therefore
Impracticable, especially as there is no
necessity for the expenditure of snch a
Secondly; the plan of operation,
and field selected for the work, are not
snch as will meet with desired results,
or with public approval. We do not
desire to secure the Castle Garden
paupers. Tlie class of immigrants the
South stands most in need of, is tlie
Northern fanner and artisan. We do
not want to be burdened with an Influx
of indigent people, unable, from ig
norance of language or methods, to
prove self-sustaining. We want the
active and economical class of North
ern immigrants, and we desire to erad
icate the erroneous impression created
by political montebanks, that the
Southern people cherish animosity or
are possessed by prejudices against
them.
Thirdly; tills work can te better ac
complished by the separate States in
several ways. Georgia, through indi
vidual efforts, properly directed, can
claim tlie favorable attention of more
prospective immigrant* than the
immigration bureau of all the States
combined.
Let Georgia inaugurate a wise im
migration movement. She is prac
tically a new country with attractions
unsurpassed, with a world of arable
land, immense tracts of virgin forests,
and climate and water for health and
comfort, but she need ever expect to
fill these unoccupied territories, unless
she put forth Individual efforts com
mensurate with the uudertakiug. A
great State, with such vast and varied
resources as to be an empire within it
self, need not want for immigrants If
her attractions are properly displayed.
A general Southern movement
strikes the immigrant as too vague,
but tlie State movement will convey
definiteness! Erroneous impressions
having local application, can be better
explained and overcome. If our peo
ple want to attract actual settlers to
their beautiful and fertile region,
they must be up and doing, and not
rely upon any other agency than in
dividual efforts.
The German ^accession.
From an Exchange.
Since tlie accession of Federick, son
of tlie late German Emperor, to the
throne of Prussia aud to the title of
Emperor of Germany, scores of people
have, no doubt, cudgeled their brains
to follow out, in the i>ages of German
history, tlie royal succession of Prus
sia. For the benefit of those who may
be, even now, battling with the prob
lem, the Hot Blast gives tlie following
synopsis: Frederick Willlan, “The
Great Elector,** during his reign
(1640—1688) first made Prussia one of
the great Powers of Europe. Freder
ick I. followed the Great Elector
(1688—1713) and his son took the title
Frederick William I, lefgning .’rout
1713 to 1740. It should be noted'that
Frederick William I, (bom in 1688)
married Sophia Dorothea, daughter of
George of Hanoon, known to English
men as George I. of England, Freder
ick 11.—usually called “Frederick the
Great**—was the son of Frederick Wil
liam I, and Sophia Dorothea. He was
born in 1712 aud ruled from 1740 to
1786. Frederick William II.
whose rule extended from 1786
to 1707, was the nephew of Frederick
the Great. Frederick William HI.
was the eldest son of Frederick Wil
liam II, and he reigned from 1797 to
1840, when he was succeeded by his
sou, Frederick William IV., who
reigned Trom 1840 to 1861. At his death
his brother was made king with the
late Emperor, who died March 8th.
In 1871 Kiug William I., was made
Emperor of Germany. His sou—form
erly known as the Crowu Prince—suc
ceeds to the throne He Is Frederick
William V. as King of Prussia and
Frederick I., as Emperor of Germany.
He signs simply “Frederick” thus get
ting neatly out of the dilemma, which
diplomats thought he would be placed
In.

Mexican Statesmanships.
The people of the United States have
always held those of Mexico in undis
guised contempt. This arises partly
from ignorance of our great sister Re
public, partly from the fact of the
easy victory of our arms in the Mexi
can War, and partly from the fact that
in a measure her unstable government,
long want ot progress and the revolu
tionary spirit of her j-eople have ex
cited it. However, Mexico, has made
wonderful strides in the past decade,
and the industrial activity and agri
cultural prosperity of her States entitle
her to her respect.
The conditions of Mexico preclude
tlie possibility of her ever becoming a
great commercial or military rival of
tlie United States, but it behooves our
country to cultivate commercial rela
tions with a country ot such wonder
ful resources and marvellous possibil
ities. Our govern raent has foolishly
ignored tlie advantages of more cordial
relations with our nearest neighbor.
The commercial treaties between the
two have uot promoted the interest of
the Uuited States in increased inter
change of produets. Our protective
tariff has placed an embargo upon traf
fic with a people to whom free-trade
England has traversed an ocean to sell
many hundred times more than the
United States.
We need uot claim a pre-emption of
statemanship on the North American
continent either, for Mexico has men
of ability, whose familiarity with in
ternational questions would surprise
tlie most consciously astute. As to
tlie question of the annexation of
Mexico, the most statesman-like views
we have seen in a longtime, came
from Senor M atlas Romero, Mexican
Minister to the United States.
The extract from his article is short
and general, but it denotes an intimate
acquaintance with-a sublect about
which hut few. have' ever thought
enough to form au opinion. He writes:
Many thinkers question the sta
bility of the United States Govern
ment In Its far future. You have so
many conflicting interests, snch as
those of tlie Pacific slope and the At
lantic, those of the East and West and
of the Nortn and South. You have
such antagonistic elements in jrour

There has rarely ever been known
a period of more changeable winds
than the last month. It is not infre
quent that the wind boxes the compass
within the space of twelve hours,
bringing every change of weather at
tendant upon winds from certain
quarters. A morning will be cool
and crisp, with a breeze from tiie
north, and by nightfall tlie southwest
winds laden with the warmth and hu
midity of the Gulf, fill all with hopes
of au early rain, but the wind veers
before their expectations are realized.
Such experiences have been continued

are deleterious to health aud Injurious

The scene lu the United States Sen

and a mouth full of vile slander. His
cowardice is a secret springof his malice
towards brave men, and we suspect Ids
want of personal Integrity is tiie source
of his hate for tiie true and good. The
dumb victims of death are not
free from his malicious attaoks,
and recognized public probity

him from the grossest slanders and

The present prospects of a large
blackberry crop is encouraging. The
white blooms are sited and the bushes
show a prolifleuess never surpassed.
Our people do not make out oi tills
crop what they could If it was closely
gathered and preserved either by dry
ing, canning or cooking. There Is no
berry that finds easier sale in the mar
kets than the blackberry, It comes at a
time when the system requires its pe
culiar acid, and it Is relished during
Its duration, and housekeepers pre
serve them lu many forms for domes
tic use, but it ha* uever been prized for
its possible commercial value. North
Carolina Is said to make over a million
dollars net from drying her blackberry
crop. Tlie improved methods in pre
serving the transient dainties of a sea
son, has made it possible to convert
these perishable products into staple
articles of cotutnorce. The recognized
medicinal properties of tlie blackberry
makes it highly prized, and if our peo
ple should show a greater appreciation
of the bounty of Providence, iu provid
ing without cost or labor such an abuu-
dant crop of wholesome berries, by
taking ail possible advantage of it In
drying, canping and preserving, there
is no estimating what revenue could
be derived. If all the blackberries of
this section could be converted into
cordial, which Is of tlie highest medici
nal value, the crop would pan out
handsomely. There is no corrective
in certain forms of disease tiiat is com
parable to the blackberry cordial, and
it would require but a short time to
educate tiie public up to an apprecia
tion of its meiits.

There are many sad and distressing
incidents related in these days, but one
which appeals to the sympathy of true

the penlteiicu and shame of the beauti

The Augusta Chronicle under the
heading “anarchy dying out'* says;
“The Anarchist organ, the Alarm,
edited by Parsons until the law* laid
its grasp upon him, ami alter tiiat con:
spirator’s death, by frmu, has ceased
to exist. The last issue appeared Sat
urday, and the despairing editor takes
advantage of tiie situation and makes

dead in Chicago. There is little or po
sale for Anarchistic literature. The
Anarchists are very much discouraged
and claim they are being persecuted
more than ever, as tlie police have for
bidden them to congregate in any
numbers. Their old hauuta are close
ly watched, and the day oi tiie blatant
agitator seems to lie about over.” As
Feeds, thorns and thistles possess the
cursed soil, so will anarchy grow jn
Chicago unless rooted out by patfept
and effect nal efforts. The vigilence of
the law should never relax, but a
strict wati b be kept on the hatcheries
of moral and political pests.
A Tribute M W. A. Strother, Jr.
An iucense on the altar of love—we
would pay a tender tribute to the
memory of the deceased. Though 'not
Ids birthplace, yet this has been the
home of his youth since early childhood,
and those who watched tlie growth of
the boy,. In whose character so many
virtues were blended, found the prom
ise of them all verified Iu his manhood.
Gentle, tender, noble and gener-
ous, yet the crowning excellence of
so beautiful a nature was Ids Christian
humility.
It seemed a fitting harvest to so pure
a boyhood. But alas! when tlie arm
should have been strongest to enter the
combat of life, disease robbed the
frame of ir* vigor. And the arm whicii
shoo .d have borne the shield of cour
age. nobility and faith has been strick
en nerveles* by tire scythe of the
reaper death. With anxious hearts
and saddened feelings, we awaited the
result of his Illness; with gloomy fore
bodings of how it woulu terminate,
did we dally receive news of the
brave,’ clieerful sufferer.
He l< gone before! Oh thought so
fraught with rapture! So full of prom
ise of a glorious reunion tiiat Christian
ity, the connecting link with Heaven,
takes a new chariu—lias an added
glory.
Like some exquisite melody whose
air liugen* lovingly on tlie ear—so ha.-
Id* brief life been a strain of perfect
harmony. May the purity and beauty
of his life, untarnished by remorse
and sin, reconcile the hearts of his
sorrowing parents to the unaltera
ble tleeree ol the All-wise Father “who
doeth ail tilings well.’*

The arrow of the ‘‘insatiable archer”

deirly beloved brother, \V. 4. Strother, Jr.,
is dead. This sad intelligence will] be re
ceived throughout the Fraternity, of which he
was a consistent member, with leelings 'of
sadness and rtgrtt. Universally popular with
his comrades and friends, loved and admired
for his genial a»d iraaly disposition, his un
timely death has left many aching hearts.
J ast on the threshold of a noble manhood, and

the sad death of oar brother reminds us of the
vanity and frailty of human hopes and expec

hope, succumbed to the ravages of disease, and

First be sure you are right, then go

Persians were net of impossible altera

liable to lose his head, for if his meas

Legislature, lie was decapitated. There
is an unwritten law if political parties
