The trouble with t he Populist party is

too short on followers .—Atlanta Jour¬

her holiday illumination at 1.2:30 o clock
in a $20,000 fire in the warehouseof John
Flannery & Co. Fifteen hundred bags of

Our old home, Clear Water Harbor,
Fla., feels somewhat honored in the visit
of that noted Georgian “Bill Arp." who
is spending the winter there with Mr. L. P.
A unsi’AUGh, a former resident of Carters

Judge John L. Hopkins, of Atlanta,
Hon. Clifford Anderson, of Macon, and
Hon. Joe Lamar of Augusta, have been
appointed by the governor to codify the

legislature.
1 Pugilist Mitchell proposes to give
$10,000 of his winnings to t he poor of
Taeksonville, Boston, St.Louis and New
York, in case he licks Corbett. This is
very generous in tin* big Englishman, but
it will scarcely induce “Gentleman Jim”
to take the thrashing.

The Constitution lms canvassed the
-state, and ascertains that probably 115
counties will send Evans del,-gates to the
-next state convention, while probably 22
will send Atkinson delegates. There re¬
ally appears but. little room to doubt that
‘(ten. Clement A. Evans will be Georgia’s
next governor.
The firm of J. M. High & Co., Atlanta,
will have an interesting damage suit as
the result of their Christmas jag. On
Saturday last they accused t oue of their
customers, Miss Mary A. Croglv, of hav
stolen . , lo , „ cent . . baby . stock- , ,

the store and examined her satchel and

^20,000 damages for the insult.
Daniel McAvoy, a 15 year old boy of
Savannah, was killed last Friday bv the
Bursting of a toy cannon, having his jug¬
ular severed by a piece of the flying met¬
al, from which he bled to death. Five
other boys were injured at the same time,
•one or more of them very seriously. Such
incidents it seems should serve to warn
parents against allowing theircbildreuto
handle such dangerous and foolish toys.
J. Hartman, of Atlanta, is advertising
for 2,000 acres of land in one body, upon
which to locate a colony of German farm¬
ers from ►Saxony. The conditions requir¬
ed are:
1st.—Sure healthy climate.
2nd.—Rolling land, with brooks prefer
ri’ed.
3rd.—Railroad passing through.
Can’t some one in Bulloch couuty ac¬
commodate Mr. Hartman?
Gov. Northen lias vetoed the Con feder¬
al te widows’ pension bill enacted by the late
legislature. The chief ground of the veto
is that the bill requires that only paujier
widows shall receive the benefits of the
law, ‘ ‘whilethelawallows and directs pay¬
ments to soldiers regardless of their finan
■ eial condition;” and that “the proposed
change would, in fact, reward the indolent
or improvident, and to the same extent
condemn thrift and industry.” The gov¬
ernor believes that “the pension laws
should stand upon higher ground and
rest upon better sentiment.”
WHAT IS FAME<
Mrs. Belle K. Abbott, of
with the reputation of being “among the
foremost literary women of the
ihed of pneumonia yesterday, and it took
u seven line dispatch to the Savannah
News to tell about it. The same paper
also contains the announcement of the
death of Mrs. Margaret Martin, of Co
lumbia, S. €., given in a seven line dis
’
patch. .Mrs. Martin was the relict of the
late Rev. William Martin, was “one of
the most noted women in the Methodist
Episcopal church south, and the author
of many books on Methodism.” She was
born iu Scotland iu 1807, and her 86
years of life had been devoted to labors
for the betterment of her kind.
The day that these two noted wonlen
passed to their reward Charles Mitch
ell. the British slugger, reached Jack
sonvilie, whither he has gone to contest,
by brutal force, with James J. Corbett
the championship of the world, and it
takes more than three columns of the
News of the same date to rehearse the
teres ting story with all its attendant
gossip.
Though only 32 years of age, Mi tun ell,
by beatingnnd bruising Iiisi'ellowmen, and
jjaving never done any good in this world,
has attained a refutation that literature
and godliness would never reach.

Christmas was a very large day this
year, reaching as high up the state as
’
j Jucon< v ,| u . re ; t Heo nis to have broken in’
to the Telegraph office. The eighth page
() f that paper for the day after Christmas
boa ,. s “Tuesday, Dec. 25," while the
odlunm of the page is turned upside
down, thus patting the head of tho^mt- almost
ter at the tail, making a spectacle
as ridiculous as acyt king exhibited upon
the streets of Statesboro during the

PENS 10 N LEGIS LA II ON.
The Times commends the actiou of the
governor in dealing with the confederate
widows* pension bill. There is no reason
why a woman should have any rule ini
posed upon her receiving public benefits,
that would not apply (o her husband. If
a soldier does not have to be a pauper to
beeomeen titled to pension appropriations
then no such requirement should apply
to his widow.
But the Times is of the opinion that the
■whole pension business has gone off on a
tangent, and that the original intention
of pension legislation has been lost
of. Tln.oi isiniil id™ Heeuiod to be
it rvas tin. dut v of the gorernment to aid
those who hn.].U—rmrOTHamro ,n
service. If il was the hlea to
lie fnnds rfiien aid was not needed.; the
idea was wrong.
• one’s financial condition has nothing to
do with his receiving a pension, it should
have.
The people of this state, or of any oth¬
er state. should not beburdeued with tax¬
ation for the purpose of raising a fund to
be applied in bestowing pensions on those
who do not net d assistance. The wealthy
one-armed confederate soldier is no more
an object for public charities than is every
other man who went to the front; and
when the public moneys are expended up¬
on private parties, it should only be with
the view of bestowing needed benefits.
It has been said that the old soldiers
demand liberal pension laws, and the par¬
ty that undertakes retrenchment in that
it em will be relegated to the back-ground.
Iint we do llot believe 5t - We believe > to
the contrary, that the tax payers of this
country, old confederate soldiers and all,
would be glad to see such revision of the
penfcion law as would bestow the funds
only upon those who actually need aid.
The governor’s plea, that to pension the
needy and withhold from othefcs rewards
indolence and condemns thrift, has no
force to it, whatever. There is nobodv
who would not prefer to be independent
of public support, and there is no fear
that any person will fail, for the purpose
of getting upon the pension roll, to make
the very best use of his opportunities.
There is not a poor pensioner in this
whole country who would not gladly ex¬
change places with the mau?of independ¬
ent means who has no claims on the pen¬
sion bureau. The Times’ editor is him
self a confederate veteran, and he hopes
soon to see such revision of all our le¬
sion laws as will only provide for the
maintenance of such veterans as are in
need of public care.
It would perhaps astonish most peo¬
ple to learn that the taxation necessary
to meet the expenses of the national gov¬
ernment requires the sum of about $10
of every man, woman and child in the
United States. Such is thecase, however.
Under the tariff laws now in force the
poor man with a large family might have
to pay $100 of these taxes, while the mil
iouaire bachelor would pay only his pro
rata ten dollars. The Wilson bill goes
somewhat in the direction of correcting
this iniquity; but so loug as the national
revenue is raised by any other method
than direct taxation, the poorer people
will not be entirely relieved of unjust tax¬
ation.
“GONE DEMOCRATIC.”
Under the aboye caption, a recent issue
of the People's Press, the new populist
paper at Kykania, copies from the Na
tional W atcfiinan. r l he gist of the inter
esting item is this: A negro was arrested
for stealing goods: a white man, who lmd
purchased from the negro, was arrested
for receiving stolen goods; the nmgis
trate thought proper to bind both for
their appearance before superior court,
and fixed the bond at $500 for each,
The white man’s friends came up and
stood his bqnd and he was released, and,
no one proposing to do ns much for
the other, the negro was inarched off to
jail- About that time an old negro ur
rived oil the scene and inquired how the
case had gone, and a smart negro boy re¬
plied: “Gone democratic, of course.”
The papers telling the story make no
comments, but the object of its publica
lion is too plain to be overlooked by an
intelligent reader. Any other sort of a
reader would see but one thing in thenav
rntive, and that would be that an injm,\
had been done the negro; and that is evi¬
dently the impression desired by the pub
libation of the incident.
Of course those who read the story will
generally have sufficient comprehension
to understand that there is no point to
it: but there are some whose uuderstaud
iug is riot so clear, and Tit is upon them
that such “rot is expected to make its
impression and have its influence. If one
I1,1 8' ro CtU1 5,9 iudll(:ed to vote the populist
ticket bacanse he believes the culprit
above referred to did not receive justice,
then an end is gained.
The Times condemns such dirty meth
ods, and is glad to believe that even the
populists themselves do not endorse them,
They think they have grievances against
the two old parties, and, so thinking, t hey
have the inalienable right of. trying to
remedy the wrong. But they have no
right to raise false issues for the purpose
ofcrea ing race or class prejudices, and
a very large proportion ot them leeog

A San Francisco couple seems to have
given ^ the lawyers of that city another
■bone to chew.” Some six months
ago Edward M. Elk us and Lillie Mab
ney entered into a marriage contract in
the presence of a notary public, for the
term of six months. The time-having ex¬
pired, they lately went before the officer
and renewed the contract for another six
months’ term. The question arises as to
the vololity of ™, ; h n contract ami, . y

A M
dead in his room in the Pulaski House,
Savannah, having suffocated himself by
blowing out tin' gas upon retiring for the
night. About the same time a man died
under precisely the same circumstances,
in Orlando. Fla. These things suggest
very forcibly the need of the exercise of
more care upon the part of the proprie¬
tors of public houses lighted by gas, and
some legislation to hold such proprietors
responsible for any death resulting from
negligence. They might very properly
be required to see that their guests are
acquainted with the proper method of
putting out their lights, before consign¬
ing their keys to them.
Christmas has come and gone, and ev
ervbody both young and old, appeared
to hav „ ail enjoyable t ime while it was
pawinf? . But if the money expended in
voolishness, and literally wasted in the
air, had been laid out upon other lines,
the merchants of the town would have
been just as well off, the parents would
have been better off, and the children
would have been happier to-day. Per¬
haps articles of usefulness are not so much
appreciated by the juvenile mind at the
time; but in after days, when fire-works
and trashy toys are gone, the more use
nil and substantial thtegs come in for
what they are worth. Those who were
so fortunate as to be presented with such
gifts, will have something to enjoy for
days and months and, in some instances,
years to come.
Affairs in Florida are growing quite
interesting upon the subject of the Cor
bett—Mitchell contest. The governor
says the fight shall not take place, and
that the sheriff of Duval county has had
special instructions to prevent it; and to
the better enable him to do so, the state
troops will be sent down to Jacksonville
at the proper time, to be in close proxim¬
ity when the sheriff shall need their serv
i -es. On the other hand, the managers o’
the affair are goingright ahead with their
preparations for the contest, and their
lawyer, accredited with being one of the
best of the Jacksonville bar, says there is
nothing in the statutes by-which the au¬
thorities can prevent it. But Gov. Mitch¬
ell is himself one of the best lawyers in the
state, having been for many years a cir¬
cuit judge, and once a member of the su¬
preme bench, which position he resigned
a few years ago. The Timer imagines
that he knows his business.
