good papery and wo regret 1«*n*»* it adopt well
doubtful method* of gelling it* *i-ntirncnta tie*
fore the pubtlc. The people of Georgia, thr- tugh
their Irgialaturc, have made very lihirai pro*
rUion for ex*<:»nfeder*tu veteran*, and it I*
exceedingly unkind and untmthfut for the
Constitution, even in an advertiMUnent* to
charge that tho legislature had not given the
soldier* a cent and pgrade the ItiODjtJO appro*
pnated to common schools in contrast with It
Iloth are glaring falsehoods and, although they
appear a* a paid advertisement, their publica
tion will do that paper no good.
The Oaxette and the Constitution
differ on the subject of the action uf
the Legislature with reference to the
Soldier's Home, and It is not the pur
pose nf this article to discuss that sub
ject with them; but the views pf our
esteemed Tifton contemporary a* ex
pressed above are so erroneous and
heretical, from a purely jnurnalistlo
standpoint, that we feel constrained to
call Editor Allen to order.
If any newspaper in Georgia under
took to live after the “methods" for
which the Gazette Impliedly contends
in Its severe criticism uf the Constitu
tion, it oould not make a living. Fol
lowing its own line uf reaanuing to Its
lust practical analysis, the Gazette
would not ndmlt any advertisement to
Its columns which Its editor could nut
nr did not Indorse or for the claims or
representations of which lie was not
willing to be held responsible. This
would rule out a very large proportion
nf (he advertisements that the news
papers get these days, and would Im-
posu hardships upon Mm publishers
which would not only be unreasona
ble but disastrous.
A newspaper is a publlo vehicle or
medium for the dissemination of news,
opinion and Inis!ness information.
Communications are accepted or re
jected at the discretion of the editor
ur publisher; lint when an individual
wishes to air Ills views upon any sub-
Jeot a lip Is willing to pay lor It, it must
be a very narrow-gunge Journal that
declines to make room for him in Its
advertising columns.. From a purely
persopal standpoint, perhaps, the ed
itor may assiiine the right to rule out
anything and everything, even in the
form or an advertisement, Mint does
not. conform to Ids own vUffSJ hut he
who does It mnl,es n grent mistake not
only as a journalist, but from a purely
business standpoint.
The publisher nt a newspaper Is in
no wise responsible for what may be
printed In Ills advertising columns or
for matter that appears In Ids paper
with the tag, “advertisement,” upon It,
and the only thing, In our opinion,
Jluit would Justify^ a publisher in re
jecting a paid article or advertisement
of any kind would be the discovery of
indecorous, vulgar or obscene lan
guage lit the matter tendered. No
true journalist will admit that which
is unclean to the columns of his paper
even as an advertisement ; but when It
oolites to matters of opinion ur senti
ment, Ids columns should be open to
anybody and everybody who wants to
make use of them and Is willing to pay
for the privilege. 1
Wo take It for granted' Mint the ar
ticle In the Constitution which the
Gazette so severely criticises was an
advertIsumeiit that was paid fur. It
wus doubtless first tendered ns a com
munication, and was rejected ns stiuli
by the editor. Then, perhaps, the au
thor of It, for soipe personal reason,
wanted to sec it in print bad enough
tn be willing to pay for It, lint what
ever mny Imvo been the clrouinstanoes
attending to, piiblientlort pf the arti
cle ur advertisement In question, the
editor df tho Constitution cannot be
ustly held, responsible for the asser-
lons made or the sentiments express
ed therein,’

TfcPtendency of all nations ai
governments seem to be toward revo
lution. Buch tendencies materialize
at time; and now and then aresu*
ful, bat many a time they are
stood through agea and centuries.
The tendency among South Ameri
cans exhibits Itself tn a peculiarly
novel form. Tired of Ihe existing
government, the revolutionists gather
their band about them, plant cannon,
trained upon the citadel which they
bombard until the government falls
Into their hand* or they are driven
from their outposts.
In our country the ballot is the
weapon ot the revolutionist, and when
the time comet the voter's ipse dixit
reverses party polloiet and principles,
But the Interest of all clvlllxed peo
ples Is at present centered In the
cent actions ot the gqvernmenta of
Europe, and speculation It rife as to
what will be the outcome. First,
Franoe Is in tpe throes of a political
revolution, and the government seems
about to be undermined through the
investigation of the fraudulent dispo
sition of the Panama canal funds, into
which mgny of the most prominent
ofllcials have been drawn. White this
exciting game Is going ,on, Imperial
Istson the one hand and Boyalists on
the other, are silently waiting at the
door of the capitol for the collapse of
ihe republic, which they hope to see,
and the drat Inside will olaim the vic
tory until deposed by the advocates of
the Bepublloan government, who, out
side Paris, outnumber other factions
by three or four to one.
But upon this varied chessboard
there Is a black knight, who is silently
biding his time. Emperor William Is
getting ready his mighty hosts, pre
paratory to striking any plow that, In
Ills estimation, will add to his military
glory and renown. Husain, too, Is
ready for war on short notice, and her
hussars arc clamoring for the gore of
some unseen foe. Amidst all these
preparations England stands calmly
by as moderator, ready to stay the
rash hand of her sister powers, hut
ready, too, tn take a hand In the melee
whenever it waxes warm,
Thus stands tho European chess
board,each side preparing lor a strong
defense. From her position of vant
age tile Queen has the sweep of the
entire hoard. What will he the next
