President Harrison’s last annual message to Congress, sent In Tues day, Is a most Interesting piece of po litical crow, which brother .Republi cans are asked to gnaw upon. The President holds to Republican principles and endeavors to show that the natural growth of the country during the past thirty years has been due entirely to the protective tariff of the Republican party, as if such a growth were not according to natural circumstances nnd inevitable from the nature of the people, tariff or no tariff. lie then continues to Indulge In a few light sarcasms regarding wliat Is expected to be accomplished under the coming nntl-protective administra tion, which nre, of course entirely Ir relevant. More noticeable than all Is Ills force bill cry, which establishes that meas ure conclusively ns n Republican principle, although the party practiced n systematic evasion of it during the campaign, lie nppeals to patriotism to establish a bayonet rule at the bal lot box. Ills nppeal will be answered, but liy the Democratic party nnd with Democratic nrgnmeuts.

It is a fact, very much to bo regret ted, that the constitution of the State nf Georgia, a State noted among those of the entire union as well ns In the South for Its thrift, energy nnd enter prise, should put a barrier in the way of n public appropriation to n work so large nnd so Important ns a State ex- hiblbit at the World’s Fair. Numerous changes In tho constitu tion of a State, for various spcoltlc pur poses, nre unwise, nnd should, no doubt, be discouraged; but, In this case, where, in realjty, the future welfnro of thu commonwealth Is Involved, there should be some provision which would admit of such an appropriation, it may not bo wise to have a “general welfnrc" danse, the* elasticity of which can be controlled at will be tho legis lators, but where the general welfare nnd advancement of a State is nt stako there should be no barrier to tho prog ress wliloh the times deutnttd. That it is an enterprise wllloll Is of vast pulillo Importance, and, conse quently, nf grentest concern to thu State no one will doubt.

KlizalxMh C.'avai’.zn hi Short Storin'. in tno atelier of a certain French painter them seems to be a, congress of yellow cats, or rather the same cat in portraits iunnmernblo. A pair of limi crown, like an armorial bearing, tbo doorway; lie plays with falling petals of tea roses; lie sleeps while a Sparrow eyes him oskance: he sits, grave as a sphinx; oven a procession of him forms tho friezo of the chim ney piece, nrnl ho peeps between pur ple nnd golden pansies on the Sevres tea service in the comer consecrated to inadame. Eight years ago Maurice Lenoir dWelt in a garret, earning his bread by copying pictures, nourishing his soul with dreams of a great classic canvas of bis own. Needless to re count tlie disillusions, privations, re buffs or tho nervous reactions of the days when ho received a few francs. The unrelieved pressuro of poverty, the unremitting blows of ill luck- tap, tap, like a paver's mallet—he- camo unbearable. The thin blood of semistarvution mounted to his head, creating visions of suicido. One evening ho bought poison. Re entering his room something brushed past his feet. Ho lighted a candle and began to writo a few lines, merely to sa vo trouble at tho inquest. Suddenly there sprung upon tho ta ble a little yellow kitten. It rubbed caressingly against his face. Evi dently a waif—one of the surplus ninefold lives of nobody’s cat, it was thin and furnished, its wot fur frayed by tlie jaws of some dog. •'One may lie tired of life,” said Maurice, “lint ouo does not leave a guest hungry I" With bread and milk, all ho had, ho fed the kitten, then warmed it within the breast of his coot, where it caressed with its tongue tho linnd thnt hold it, then purred itself to sleep. Maurice reflected: “Suicide is the refuge of one who hns iu> longer hopes, ties of affection or responsi bilities. In receiving this kitten I have assumed a duty. To place this little creature for warmth upon my heart and then turn that warmth to ice would lie a betrayal. At least I will iivo until tomorrow.” In the morning the littlo cat ap peared so pretty Maurice painted nnd was able to soli its portrait. Another was ordered nnd another. M. Lenoir’s pussies became the fashion. He deferred his dream of a classic canvas and painted, only cats In all postures and colors—yel low, black, white, gray and tabby. Ho studied ents; he divined under their mask of drowsiness or caprice tho subtlo charm and' wisdom adored in old Egypt. Tiio yellow.kitton ..that saved liis lifo also made Ills fortuno. And M. Lenoir proved not ungrateful; the yollow cat, now patriarch of a tribe, has his cushion aud his cup in tho ntelior, nnd wears a golden collar in scribed “To Mv Benefactor.” Tho election for nounty oflloers Is now less than a month oil', anil the llrst formal announcement of a candi date Is made in to-day’s Hkrai.d. Mr. F. G. Edwards, tho present faithful and cltlolent Sheriff of the oounty, announces fur re-election. Mr. Edwnrds hns held the ollleo of Sheriff of Dougherty comity uncon tented for severnl consecutive terms, and the indications nre thnt he will again be re-elected without opposltlun. The fnot thnt Mr. Edwards hns held Ills ollice without scramblu or contest for ten or twelve years past attests his efllolenoy ns an ofllcer nnd his popu larity with the people. The oftloe of Sheriff of Dougherty county is one to be desired, but who oould promise to All It with more faithfulness and fidelity than Felix Edwnrds has? And who Is there to enter the lists ngnlnst him with any chance of success? If there is any threatened opposition to Mr. Edwards’ re-eleotion the Hkuai.iI lias not heard of It, and the probability is that he will again have a clear Held. But tlie formal announcement of Mr. Edwnrds opens the couqty politi cal campaign, ami other announce ments are now in order. Let those who are “in the race" for any county oflioe say so.
