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.

They will re- uiaih right where they are for some •time yet. It’s not the way with Re- • publicans to bow to the will of the peo- tple. They are Republicans, still in ••deed as well as in principle, and the .-money power lias not yet called for tapy tariff reductions. There has been introduced in the legislature a queer measure providing tor a State Board of Health, which the measure seeks to endow with extraor- •dinary powers.

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. .

A Bill Limiting Psastsas-A Carriage ■factory Itaaaad—Mecca Prla- aaere Bacape. * Special tu the Uxralp. • Atlanta, Nov. 25.—To-day was a quiet one with the Inw makers. Verv little business was transacted beyond reading bills a second time. Mr. Wheeler, of Walker, Introduced a bill this morning limiting the pay ment of pensions to disabled soldiers who are worth less than tne amount provided for by the Homestead law. A Carriage Factory named. Special to the 11 kkald. Newnan, Nov. 25.—The Newnan carriage factory was burned to the ground Inst night. The building was entirely consumed. The loss was part ially covered by insurance. Tho strike nt. Ilomstend Is but an ex ample on n large scale of tho ultimate outcome of all suoh movements on the part of the weak to cocrco tho strong. The Inboring classes will ultimately Jlearn that they will have to resort to other measures than strikes to. main tain their rights ngalnst organized monopoly, which, through its money power, ean bid defiance to labor’s prowess whether It be In the right or In the wrong. What these means must be oan only be determined by the trend of circumstances, for, as long as money rules, hope of obtaining muoh protective legislation must be set at naught. . Now oomes up the perplexing ques tion of what the courts will do with t|?e Indictments against the strikers and Oarncgle oflloials for murder and treason. The probable outcome Is that none of the aooused will reoolve sent ence, It will be hard to decide which side was the aggressor, and the law’s delay may result in the quashing of all the indlotments. The question of strikes may be one with whloli Congress will have to deal In an indlreot way, and the oountry is to be congratulated on theapproaoh of an administration which will deal properly and Justly with the matter.

Our exchanges are full of Thanks giving fun. The editors wero prob ably full of turkey. The Georgia weeklies nre teeming with bright Thanksgiving dots and eleetion aftermath. The action of the press of the State in presenting to the Legislature and to the people, n thorough discussion and appeal In behalf of a State Normal School is a timely one. Never was a work undertaken with more energy, sympathy and determi nation to succeed than Iiub been the project of the thorough education and systematic trainingof Georgia's teach ers by Mrs. M, A. Llpscombe of the Lucy Colib Insl itute. Despite the seem ing hostllltynndilllberallty of pnst gen eral assemblies townrd the higher ed ucallonal Interests of the State, un daunted in tho work, she has sent forth appeal after nppenl for aid In establishing on a higher basis the in struction nud training of those whose life work Is the education and ns well the formation of eharaoler it Georgia’s sons nud daughters. 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 ering the question of education it Is not atlmu to hem and hnwovarn mat ter of dollars and cents, for there are gifts of prloeless value,whieh no money can buy, and whlob arc dally going to waste and will so continue unless these mental faoultles and talents for suoh they are, of the eoming genera tion are properly trained nnd edu cated. While legislating for the present wants and needs of the people, let their representatives sometimes think of the future welfare and glory of the Southern Empire State, for it has future the control of whloli will eventually pass out of their power. Atlanta's labor organ, the Daily Citizen, has collapsed. Lack of funde did It. Women are allowed to vote In Wy timing. That’s why the State eleoted a Democratic legislature. The President nnd his cabinet at tended church on Thanksgiving Day. Perhaps they wero thankful that Maine didn’t go Democratic. The Chicago Inter Ocean has under taken a crusade against vicious lit* ra- ture. This is the first step towards the reform of a Republican organ. Let the good work go on. Homt call a tlimd Jingo successfully edit Liv ing Isztlt'sV—Spavta lehmnolito. Editor Sid Lewis is playing havoc with the Third Party corpse. When he gets through with Tom Watson no body will know where he’s “at.” The history of labor union strikes in this country, during the pnst year, goes conclusively to show that in the combat with capital they all end alike —in gigantic failure. The Hon. Bourke Cockran, of New York, has declared, under oath, that his election to Congress cost him “not one cent.” As a rule, the people who are least fit for Congress pay the most to get there.—Philadelphia Record. The Republican organs are severe on Frick for the indirect aid he gave to Democratic success. “Curses not loud but. deep,” are also on tap against Mc Kinley ami Lodge, but their condem nation is kept rather binder the cover, at present. Speaker Crisp Bays it is too early to dlsouss the extra session question, and Speaker Crisp is right. Grover has hied himself away to an island for a few daya sport, Bafe from the importunities of the office-seeking horde. Unlike the cotton crop, the wheat crop of the Western States surpasses all estimates by ten to twenty million bushels. Careful reports from every ootton raising section place the crop at 6,500,. 000 bales. A further rise in the price Is expected. Chairman Hariuty was given roysl ovation on his return to Phila delphia. He will get more than an ovation next March. Mr..Depew has finished explaining why “we were beaten,” and Is consol ing Ills ardent friends in distress with his “Just wnlt until 1890," If agreeable to England it is said that a bnnetalic currency basis can be established by the international mone tary conference now in session at Brussels. Secretary Foster, of the Treasury, says he will have t'o pay the bill of in spector Davenport when it Is present ed, despite the faets that his aocounts nre fraudulent, and an investigation has been demanded by Congress. The accession of Democracy will sound the death knell of Davenportisin and the force bill. Ox account of the gigantic sums ex pended for pensions, the Democratic party will be confronted by a large deficiency in the treasury on its ac cession to power. The people will take note of the fact in future elections that the Republican party retired from power leaving behind them nil empty treasury ami a heavy debt. > DVO FOB LIBERTY.

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 among the lassies of Brazil.—New Orleans Tiines-Democrat. 3UGH FOR A STORY. ***-— 'V'-: •? •■ 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.” —New York Herald. r'Bfi The Chicago Times aptly says: “In 18SS Benjamin Harrison bail a surplus of votes and in 1889 lie bound a surplus in the National Treasury. The latter disappeared --<inie lime ago, and 'the former has now followed its example.” DBPCTT 8BEBIFF JONES (,< A WATCH, AN OVKBCOAT AND A PISTOL, Bat The Articles nre Recovered Thi.| Meriting, nzl the.Thief lx New; In Anil. Columbian Pun*. Some years ago In Paris they were discussing the discoveries of Colum bus in the presence of tho late Lord Lytton. Colomb, I should explain, is the French for Columbus, and la colombe is the French for a dove. * ‘It is very singular,” someone observed, “that la colombe discovered the Old World and le Colomb discovered the new.” “Yes," replied Lord Lytton, “but infinitely more curious that the one came from Noah and the other come from Genoa."—London Truth. Obstinate Jurymen. Instances of the obstinacy of one juryman out of the twelve are by no means rare. “Sir,” said such a one when taken to task by the judge, “no man is more open than I am to conviction and to do what is right in every case, but I have not met with the same consideration in others. It has generally been my lot to be in a jury with eleven of the most Obstinate men, who will not listen to reason.” —London Tit-Bits. l-’rom Saturday’* Evening HeAltl 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 conclusively to the fact that - Alt Hornsby, of Worth county, is the thief, Jones aud Hornsby were together In the city last night, and were having a good time tn each others company.

Mr. Jonei at onoe dressed and hurided out to find an officer and report the caae before the thief could get off with Ills ill-got ten gains. Officer Raley was appealed to, and the. circumstances of the oase n&de known to him, and as a result of the quick work of that efficient guardian of the peace, Hornsby was found nnd arrested early this morning in a house of ill repute in the city. •When searched,Mr.Jones’ watch wns I found in Ills vest pooket, and he wasl unceremoniously hurried off and given [ a bet.th in Jail.

Tin; annual conference of the South Georgia Methodist' church meets at Columbus on December 14th. Leaders of the Alliance in Georgia have, at last, come to the conclusion that that organization cannot survive as a political machine. They are wit nessing the fulfillment of a prediction that, was made hydra.year ago. SeMldo Confidences. “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." Then the editor—for editors are not all wise—shut himself up as close os the sun umbrella which he carried.— New York Press. 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. BURGLARS Enter the Residence o( Mr. A. \V. Muaq From Friday’s Evening IIeuald. Last night the residence of Mr. A. W. Muse, on Jefferson street, was en-. tered by burglars, and the hat rack, which stood in the hall-way near the front door, was relieved of two over coats, one belonging to Mr. J. W. Mel ton and,the other to Master Elliot Muse. A hat, the property of Mr Muse, was also taken. y | The thief entered by forcing an en trance through a low window opening from the porch into the hall. No ef fort was made to enter any of .the ! other rooms in the building. There is | no clue to the identity of the burglar, and it is not known whether or notj there were more than one. . At any rate, hats and overcoats wifi 1 doubtless not be left on tho rack in fu ture over night. Fifty-three men met in Philadel-1| piiia the other day to form a new polit ical party. The main prinoiple of their' politics is said to be the^feRtrletion of foreign immigration, though tbeio platform has not yet been made public.
