Tim • Truth Htion ien 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,’ with- 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 J(jovi>r GO TO THE Surprise Store. FOR THERE YOU FIND fieui Goods AND'- LOW PRICES.
