lonttf whether or not the
World’s Fair shall keep open gates on
Sunday Is now being agitated by the
presk and public speakers of tirecoun-
try, i
A large majority of the people do
not understand the matter, and look
upon jt merely as a question of wheth
er or not the Sabbath day shall be fla
grantly deseorated by the World’s Fair
managers, and the people who sanc
tion their nourse.
The question, however, Involves
some nice moral points. On the one
hand shall the Fair be kept open on
Sunday which la a day of rest? of
course, shutting down all machinery
and closing up all the merchandise
booths, leaving open only the artistic
displays for the beneflt of the laboring
classes, who seldom , have a day for
recreation except Sunday, or shall Its
gates be closed to tills class of people
as well as all others, and permit the
overflowing masses to seek Sabbath-
day sports In the saloons and dives of
the windy city? The saloon keepers
of Chicago are opposed to Sunday
opening of the fair and why? Because
It would damage their Sunday trade,
and such might bn said of the mana
gers of the various other amusement
houses with which Chlcngo Is teem
ing. It Is a question of whether mere
ly the art departments of the Fair shall
be thrown open for the education of
the laboring people, and others who
might be led in to Sunday vlolousness,
or depravity bu turned loose and given
full sway.
It seems clearly evident that there
is a preponderance of argument In
favor of such Sunday opening of the
Fair as is proposed, a kind of passive
opening so to speak, with a cessation
of all labor and such commercial
aotlivlty as may be carried on there
during the week.

It is, the duty of the press of
oountry to keep before, the people and
the coming administration the gigan-
tio pension frauda whlob have been
and ara now being perpetrated upon
the government treasury.
It Is high time to call a halt.
Speaking of the matter the Philadel
phia Record says:
•Twenty-seven years of uence hsve only
seemed to aggravate the hurts and add to
the disabilities of eonfllet. There Is n prospect
tlmt the actual cost of the war will be exceeded
by the cost of tnklng oaro of, tho fran-lon who
dhl not know of their need nf.MSiatnnco until
twenty yenre after tho last battle bud been
fought.”
In 188H the pension list aggregated
only $IH,000,000, but now, after twenty-
seven years of peuce, it oontalns over
a million names, and.rnns up to $200,-
000,000, nearly $2<J0 per annum for each
name enrolled.
It is the duty of the Democratic
party to make a thorough revision of
the lists, and strike the names of those
who have been put there fraudulently
and unlawfully. Suoh a work we are
confident would reduce the list one-
half at least, and, instead of a detri
ment, would 6e a star in Democracy’s
crown, for it Ib believed that no one Is
more zealous for the honor of the na
tion than are the old soldiers, who, In
war, were so zealous In the nation’s
cause. .

the formation of eharaoler it Georgia’s

The Georgia Legislature should not
turn a deaf ear to these appeals. Not
only is the matter one in whieh they
themselves should ’>e vitally interested,
but as representations of the people
they arc being urged o.i every hand
to lend the needed aid. iVhen consid

Mr. Bigg-Withor, nu English en
gineer who was employed some
years in railroad Burvoyingin Brazil,
tells some interesting experiences
among tho landed proprietors. Boing
a man, ha had a hotter opportunity
than I to know how women deport
thomeelves in tho preaenoe of the
other sex. Lot me quote a few para
graphs pertaining to a visit he mode
in the valley of Ivahy.
Sonor Andrade was an old man
Bad allowed hiB v wife to do most of
the talking for him when she was in
tho room. One of her first questions
was to know whether I was married,
and on hearing that I was still in the
full enjoyment of freedom she pro
ceeded to enlarge upon the delights
of married life, at the same time in
forming me that she had five uumar
ried daughters. Aftor this pretty
broad hint of wlint was expected, of
course I expressed a wish to mako
the acquaintance of these fair mem
bers of the family. Her face lieeame
suddenly grave, she looked hesitat
ingly at her husband, who had re
mained silently pulling his cigarette
during the conversation, and he said
something, which I did not under
stand, but which at once dispelled
her momentary gravity. Tho old
man got up, wont across to a looked
door, turned the ke*f, opened it and
disappeared into a dark chamber
within.
Almost immediately he returned,
saying, “The girls are not accus
tomed to seo strangers, and are
afraid.” Meanwhile the senora,
who evidently now determined that
her daughters should show them
selves, had also disappeared into the
secret chamber, from which now
proceeded sounds of whispering and
suppressed giggling. Presently the
senora reappeared, leading a very
modest looking damsel of about'nine
teen years, closely followed by three
others, apparently somewhat young
er. ’ All were overwhelmed with in
tense shyness and an hysterical desire
to laugh. After the formal and sepa
rate introduction of each—be it noted
that tho lady is hero introduced to
tho gentleman—they all scampered
back into the secret chamber, and
their papa turned the key on them.
At this time I was ignorant of the
custom which is so general in these
out of the way parts of keeping
women, or rather tho daughters, of
the family locked up like wild
beasts; consequently I did not hesi
tate to express my wonder and to
ask why it was done in this case.
In answer Scnor Andrade said that
it was the custom of the coun try,
and he had never thought of bring
ing up his daughters in any other
way. "Do they ever go out?” I
asked. "No, never,’' he replied;
“not now that they are grown.”
They had all learned horseback
riding when children, but since then
they had been shut up in tho house,
according to tho 1 custom for respect
able girls, Where they must remain
until husbands can obtained for
them. Poor things I It is to be
hoped that there are few old maids

A Tragedy In a R-.nl Hotel, but tlu
Boarders Not or Stopped Katins.
A party of Engineers sat out in the
light of the campfire on the leeward
side of a hill in Dakota exchanging
reminiscences.
‘Let me tell you of an enjoyable
supper I once hod,” spoke up the
youngest member of the group,
whose English had not yet been cor
rupted by the vernacular of the
west.
“I was on my way to join an engi
neering party at Boise City. I had
taken tho stage and traveled about
forty miles, when wo drew up at
one of those mushroom towns, where
we Waited an hour and a half foi
supper,
“Smoky Creek settlement, like
many townB,” he went on by way oi
explanation, “is famous for some
single characteristic. This particu
lar town is uotoriousfor its lynching
parties. It is about forty miles from
a railroad, but occasionally an east
ern bound traveler stops over for an
hour or two on his way to a neigh
boring mining town. It is in close
proximity to some of tho largest
ranches in the country, and is of
course a great rendezvous for cow
punchers, miners and the attendant
retinue of fakirs, road agents, faro
tricksters and representatives ot
nearly every calling who proceed to
collect tho living which the world
owes them in the easiest way. There
nre several hotels. I stopped ovei
at the Crossroads House. I went iu
and took a sent at the long table.
“Several glanced up, giving me a
quick scrutinizing glanco as if to size
me up, then paid no moro attention
to me. While apparently engaged
in consuming the bacon, com broad,
sorghum and dried apples, I bod an
opportunity to take in my surround
ings. At one end of the table sat a
gruff, sullen looking fellow who
glared now and then nt an inoffen
sive man seated across the table from
him.- From the fragments of con
versation of those nearest mo I
learned that the t\v6 had had somo
disagreement over a-game a few
hours before, and there were possi
bly old scores to settle. Some one at
my left remarked, ‘Hint air night-
hawk for once got tho best uv the
day wrangler. ’
"Tho sullen looking fdllow, evi
dently the day wrangler, looking
across at tho nighthrwk, said gruffly,
'Pass mo tho m’lasscs I'
“Tho other looked up at him coolly,
muttered something about ‘a feller
l>ein n little more perlite,'and shoved
the pitcher across the table. The
pitcher upset, and the brown liquid
oozed over tho' table. Tho day wran
gler .evidently took this ns an inten
tional insult. Without saying a word
and with scarcely a moment’s hesita
tion he took out his revolver and
shot the man dead.”
“It must ha’ broken up that air
supper," remarked one of the group,
shifting his- cud of tobacco to the
starboard side of his mouth.
“Indeed it didn’t," was the answer.
"The other boarders looked up, but
not a word was said, and the meal
went on as if nothing had happened.”

Some years ago In Paris they were

colombe is the French for a dove. * ‘It

every case, but I have not met with
the same consideration in others. It
has generally been my lot to be in a

Mr. James Jones, deputy sheriff
Mitchell county, wns very oleverly
robbed while stopping at the Albany
Inn last night, and the evidence that
has been seoured seems to point very

Hornsby was missing too. Mr. Jonei

of the peace, Hornsby was found nnd
arrested early this morning in a house
of ill repute in the city.

“Yes,” remarked a stranger to the
editor, as the two sat on tho veranda
sipping lemonade and looking out
upon the rolling sea; “yes, head work
is very trying, and the man who
earns a living by it needs a vacation
now and then."
“Yes,” said the editor, “head work
is very trying. I find it so, especially
when the hours are long.”
“How many hours a day do you
work?” asked the stranger.
“Four," said the editor.
“{leavens! I work ten.”
“Head work?”
“Yes, every bit of it."
“Newspaper or general literature?"
“Neither. Pm a barber."

From tho Augusta Chronicle. "
As conquering armies have often
fnllen victims to the plunder of the
camp, and as victories have been
turned into defeat from over < indul
gence in the spoils of the enemy, so
there are like dangers in limes of peace
that must be avoided by a victorious
political party,'
No Democrat will for a moment as
sume thnt the spoils of office were thi
moving considerations which deoldei
the recent political contest in favor
of the Democratic Party. The filling|
of offices by good men, while veryj
portent, becomes neoessary only aIF‘
means to accomplish the end of ecoi
otnical government.
The revolution in the public senti
ment of the United States was against
the policy and measurea of the Repub
lican Party and a protest againstAtht
extravagant administration ,of tbi
government. The main cause was
demand on the part of the people for
a change in the pnlioy by which the
Republican Party administered the
affairs of government. It will be wi6e
for our people to keep this considera
tion In view, and not be too preolpi-
tant in their greed for office.
That President Cleveland should be
compelled to leave New York, because
bis residence was intruded upon by of
fice seekers who bad the indelicacy, be
fore his inauguration, to present thWir
applications in person, shows a greed
for office and Rn indelicacy that is any
thing but creditable to men who claim
to be actuated by principles.
The victorious Party has a right
the offices that are not governed
oivil service laws, but they must bide
their time, and wait patiently until
the Democratic administration is in
augurated in Washington.
