Whether In public'or In private In
tercourse there la a certain amount of
confidence eminently essential to the
furtherance and dispatch of whatever
Interest# there are at stake. This Is
applicable, not only to the business
world, but to family life aa well; and
thousands’ of Instances can be cited
where apprehension and distrust have
precipitated most direful and oalami
tous results.
Some time ago the Herald asked
that the people of this seotlon, and es
pecially of Albany, discard every Iota
of uneasiness calculated to evolve in
consequence of the prevailing cry of
“hard times;" that any parsimonious
apprehensions would only tend to in
crease the stringency, and that the
undoubted soundness of Albany's In
stitutions established the sbsurdity of
any questioning of the Interdepend
ence of our interests and affairs.
Anent the editorial on this line
nothing has occurred to cause any
alarm In this seotlon, but it Is well to
bear in mind that a continuation of
the present pleasant business relations
Is very muoh to be desired. And it is
safe to say that auoh will be the case,
In writing, editorially, upon this
line the Indianapolis News takes on-
osslon to say:
“The present flnshclnl stringency
does not result from unsound business
conditions hut from general appro-
heqslon and distrust."
And the News Is eminently correct.
The business condition of this section
of Georgia la all right and will remain
to, unless, as the News forebodes, there
is unwarranted apprehension and dis
trust.

EDWIN BOOTH.
The last act in the life of this emi
nent trngedlnn olosed, on Wednesday,
the Players’ Club In New York, and
win Booth Is but a memory.
Uh.pnBsed away with his hand
Clasped in that of his daughter, who
lias been as loving and faithful ns
Cordelia was to King Dear.
Edwin Booth’s life was n sad one;
he was early called upon to “take up
armsagalnat a sea of trouble” and the
battle wna hard fought.
Now, this greatest of “Hamlets” has
“shuffltd off this mortal ooll,” and It is
hoped that in “tills Bleep of death,
what dreams may come,” shall give
him rent.
Gov. Altokld, of Illinois, has
caused the wrath of the Demoorats of
that State to bo heaped upon his head.
The Governor la what is supposed to
bu an old line Democrat and n red hot
one, too. But, last Federal Memorial
Day, ho mado a "peeoh In that State,
during which he took occasion to pay
hla respects to the Negro of the South
ern States. His reference i to the
Negro wns, no doubt, prompted by the
recent stand taken by ex-Senntor
Ingalls, of Kansas, who, In a round
about way 1ms evidenced his approval
of the abolition of the Fifteenth
Amendment. Mr. Altgeld took n very
deolded Republican stand on the
Negro question, and It la for this that
the Demoornts censure him, and espe
cially those of Ills own State. With us,
down here, what the distinguished
gentleman said does not make so muoh
difference. He showed that ho had
given oonaiderable attention to the
Negro question, and he was not far
from right when he said that “the
Negro at the South is not in a posi
tion or condition to be judged; he Is
gradually working out his own salva
tion and It will not bu many years be
fore he will show by his intelligence
that he is competent to vote and aot
for himself, hoo-doo advice fiotn
triokstering politicians to the con
trary notwithstanding.” Mr. Altgeld
may not have known it, but ho was
very near the truth when he uttered
those words. The Negro is improv
ing—that Is very evident—and as he
Improves and acquires intelligence it
adds to the strength of the Demooratlo
party. By that we menn the strength
of the white people, for it is to them
that the Negro is Indebted for his de
liverance from tho environments that
have bound him so long. Mr. Altgeld,
Mr. Ingalls and others at the North
should let the Negro of the South
alone. What he lacks in being able to
take care of himself will be furnished
by the. white people, who linve been
nod will continue to he Ills friends.
Some of the red hot- Northern papers
are congratulating themselves that
ns cx-President Davis lias been buried
twice, he is effectually disposed of.
They will tlnd that bis memory and
name will always be cherished by the
Southern people, and like llanquo’s
ghost, will not down at any one’s bid
ding.

President Cleveland 1s reported to
have said, Monday afternoon, In re
ply to a direct question by a represen
tative of the Associated Press that he
intended to call an extra session of
Congress not earlier than Sept. 1st nor
later than Sept. 16tb, unless unex
pected contingencies should ne
cessitate an earlier meeting.
The President further said:
“While there has been no
mystery nor secrecy in regard to my
intention in this matter, I think it
not amiss that our people should be
Informed authoritatively that the time
is at hand when their representatives
In Congress wl)l be called on ;o
deal with the financial condition,
wbioh la the only menace to the coun
try’s welfare and prosperity. It Is
well for the people to take up the sub
ject for themselves and arrive at their
conclusions as to the merits of the
financial policy which obligates us
to purchase idle silver bullion
with gold taken from our reserve.
One does not need the eye of a llnan-
cler to. see that this gold thus subtract
ed from the government’s stoek Is eag
erly seised by other nations for the
purpose of strengthening their own
credit at our expense.
FULL OF DANGER.
“It does not need the art of states
manship to . detect the danger that
awaits upon a continuance of this op-
eratlon. Already the tlmidlty-of cap
ital is painfully apparent and none of
us oan fall to see that fear and appre
hension in monetary circles will ulti
mately bring suffering to every bum
hie home In our land.
“I thtnJc that between now and the
meeting of congress muoh depends
upon the action of those engaged in
flnanolal operations and business en
terprises. Our vast national resouroes
and oredlt are abundantly sufficient to
justify thbm In the utmost faith and
conlldonoe. If instead of being fright
ened they are conservative, and if in
stead of gloomily anticipating disaster
they contribute their share of hope
nnd steadiness they will pertorm a pa
triotic duty and at the same time pro
tect tlieir own Interest. The things
needed Just now are coolness and calm
ness in llnanoial circles, and study and
reffeatlon among our people.”
The
recent letter of ex-Governor
Chamherlnln, of South Carolina, to
Frederick Dougins, the representative
and aoknfiwledged leader of the col
ored race, was n sensible dooument in
its entirety. Mr. Chamberlain took as
a text for the subject matter of his
epistle, the lynoh law. He says that
tho only way to stop lynohing is for
the Negroes to stop their outrageous
assaults. In other words, lynch law
will stop itself If there Is no oooaslon
for it. Tills Is the most sensible ex
position of the subject that we have
seen, and it is regretted that apace
will not admit of the publication of
the dooument In full. Whenever auoh
a condition as Mr. Chamberlain sug
gests Is attained it Is very certain that
lynching will have been, a thing of the
past. Nothing waB ever accomplished
by violence. An evil may be ohecked
for a while in that way, but no per
manent reform was ever inaugurated
on any line where harshness was
brought to hear. There is no greater
evidence of this truth than the fact
that )y tickings—for nearly a quarter of
a century—have failed to stop outra
ges; but, on the contrary, recent
events have established the fact that
it tends to increase the evil. This
being true, there is hut one remedy
nnd the eminent South Carolinian sug
gested It. We must teach the Negro
to stop Ills meanness nnd then lynch
law will stop of its own nccord.

recent dinner in this city a prominent
Southern woman present remarked in
the course of a conversation touching
upon the famous statesman that it
“was almost wicked in Charles Sum
ner to have married. He was so
deeply in love with himself,” she con
tinued, wittily, “that his marriage was
little short of bigamy.”
