Vol. III.
The New Governor.
At 1 o'clock last Saturday afternoon
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson was sworn in by
Chief Justice Bleckley, as the governor of
Georgia for the ensuing two years. Bo
fore tuking the oath of office, Mr. Atkin¬
son delivered the following address before
the joint session of the legislature and
the large crowd of visitors attendant up¬
on the inaugural ceremonies:
“.Members of the general assembly of
Georgia—1 am about to enter upon the
discharge of the important trust which,
by will of a free and intelligent jieople, I
have been selected to perform, and avail
myself of this solemn occasiou to express
the gratitude which their partiality and
t heir confidence inspires.
Appreciating this, the highest mark of
confidence which can be bestowed by the
people of this great state, and impressed
by a consciousness of my own inability
to measure up to the full requirements of
.so high anil responsible an office, I enter
upon my duties with a sincere purpose to
discharge every obligation incurred in
assuming the authority vested iu your
chief executive.
Many of my predecessors iu office have
been illustrious men, than whom none su¬
perior arc to be found among the execu¬
tives of any state in the Union. Yet none
of these have given to Georgia a eleaner
or more admirable administration than
that which lias marked the official tenure
of the able and upright man whom I have
the honor to succeed. The great ability,
lofty character and successful administra¬
tion of many of these men, while awaken¬
ing in mean ambition tosuccesfullyserve
my state, admonishes me that it will be
difficult to reach the high standard of
efficiency attained by those eminent
Georgians. With this sense of responsi¬
bility, therefore, and with a knowledge of
the existence of perils menacing to myself
and to my native state, I assume the of¬
fice to which I have been elected, relying
for aid upon the fidelity and intelligence
of the representatives of the people here
assembled, upon all the officers charged
with public duties, upon the patriotic
people of Georgia who have never yet
abandoned a public servant who was
faithfully struggling to serve them, aud,
above all, upon the watchful care and
guidance of nt| overruling Providence.
Placed in charge of the affairs of state
at this important period in onr history,
the interests committed to our care ad¬
monish us to forget all bittcrtiess engen¬
dered by recent political contests and
unite with patriotic zeal in an effort to
preserve the rights and liberties of the
people. However widely we may have
differed in our views aud preferences, we
are all Georgians and must share alike
the success or disaster, the good of the
evil, the honor oi the shame, which the
future has in store for our beloved state.
While gratefully enjoying the inestimable
blessings of a free government, we should
consecrate our . lives to un earnest en¬
deavor to preserve its principles, improve
its laws, and perfect its administration.
We should strive to secure to the people
u government and a civilization which do
not dazzle with the splendor created by
the privileges of favored classes, nor by
the greed and power of monopoly, but
whose prestige and greatness come of a
code of laws which is a guarantee that
the same protection, rights and privi¬
leges will be gaanted all citizeu, however
humble, however exalted.
Under an excellent system of govern¬
ment the revised rights of the state,
those powers which are confided by the
people to the state government, covering
as they do almott every point relating to
the pecuniary interests, domestic rela¬
tions and personal liberty of the citizens,
are of imposing dignity and priceless val
ue.
The power to select officers to aid in
the administration of the laws of a sov¬
ereign commonwealth should not be ex¬
ercised for the advancement of private should
ambition. The use of this power
be controlled by a wise consideration for
the public good. Each new office becomes
an additional fixed charge and uj>on theearn
ings of the taxpayers can be justified
only by imperative necessity. The vigi¬
lance of the people guarding their inter¬
ests, and their reluctance to assume new
burdens, have protected taxation. them against there
much unnecessary Often
is a greater wisdom in the intuitions of
the people than in the learned arguments

cient performance of all the functions of
government demands that we enter upon
the task of so reforming the methods of
transacting jieople jtublic business that approba¬ the ver¬
dict of the will be one of

Dixie Interstate Fair.
The first week of the Dixie Interstate
Fair closed on the most jierfect and com¬
plete exposition of the resources ot Geor¬
gia that has ever been seen. With per¬
fect weather, a perfect exposition within
perfect grounds, this first week has been
one of immense encouragement to the
management and they look forward to
the gathering this week of the largest
crowds ever seen in beautiful Central City
Park. Last week the laborers aud oth¬
ers had their day. This may be called
“City Week.” It begins with Monday as
Atlanta day and closes with Saturday as
Macon day, with Columbus, Savannah,
Augusta and others thrown in between
times. Then the farmers and editors will
have their inning, and to sum it up it will
be, before the close, complete through¬
out.
Too much cannot be said of Macon
and her pluck in this undertaking. With
dull times and cheap cotton staring them
in the face they have worked with a vim
and the result has been the gathering of
the most magnificent exhibits ever seen
in the South. Among the many thou¬
sands who have poured into the gates
the past week there have been a great
many Northern and Western men. Two
gentlemen from Pittsburg, Pa., were
overheard iu conversation. One of them
said that he had attended every Fair
throughout the Northern States for the
past ten years and was forced to say
that he had never seen the like. “Why,”
said he, “it is a jierfect revelation to me,
I would never have dreamed it.”
Another gentleman said that he had
attended many of the Western Fairs and
hart been a regular-attendant at the Ohio
Fairs for a good many years, and lie had
never in his life seen the such Live a display of and ag¬
riculture. As for Stock
Poultry, the “oldest inhabitant” is out¬
done for once. No more can he rise up
and croak that it is not like it used to lie
—no such cattle and jiigs, etc., etc. For
this beats anything ever seen, not only in
Georgia, but in the entire South. After
pre .paring for the largest show ever seen
ami putting up huudreds of extra stalls,
(here came such rush of stock that Man¬
ager Wad ley was compelled to jmt a

Populists Fils A Protest.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 29.—“Lu behalf of
over 109,0 JJ voters of Georgia, we re¬
spectfully protest against being made
parties to the enactment of a partisan
caucus edict into statutory law, by and
through which the judicial bench of the
government may become partisan. We
therefore respectfully request leave of ab¬
sence during the joint session of the gen¬
eral assembly to be convened for the
election of judges and solicitors.”
This kick of the populists in both
branches of the legislature today was
the cause of the first spirited clash- bc
tween the two parties since the opening
of the session. The populists, everyone
of whom in both house and senate, signed
the request for leave of absence, are very
sore over the position they are placed in
by the democratic caucus. They amount
to no more in shaping legislation and
elections than if they had stayed at home,
and undertook to make a grandstand
play this morning by asking to be excus¬
ed while the democrats proceeded with
the election of the judicial candidates put
out by the caucus.
In the senate thedocunumt was prompt¬
ly tabled, but in the house several of the
democratic members used it as a foot ball
for awhile before finally chucking it under
the table.
Mr. Hogan of Lincoln, fhe populist
leader, made a little speech when he in¬
troduced the request. Ho claimed that
there wus no intention to impugn the ac¬
tion of the House, when Mr. Humphries
of Brooks produced rule 2d and insisted
that the populists were clearly out of or¬
der.
Mr. Rockwell, of Chatham made a
speech which gained him a round of ap¬
plause from the democratic side. He said
the populists were trying to cast a reflec¬
tion upon the honor of the House, and
insisted that they be forced to remain
and to respect the House.
Mr. Holland of Cobb thought the
House would be really better off without
the presence of the populists and wanted
to let them go, while Mr. Mell of Clarke
said they had better stay and do their
duty to their 109,000 constituents.
Mr. Jones, of Dougherty caused a burst
of applause by a resolution that the pop¬
ulist ’members have leave of absence as
often and as long as they desired, pro
vided that their per diem be deducted
from their pay as long as they were not
present to attend lo their business.
Finally the House laid the request on
the table, but the populists had their re¬
venge. They sat in their seats all during
the session, seemingly oblivious of the
fact that there was an election going on
about them. When their names were
called they remained as silent ns a lot of
little sphinx. They wouldn’t vote for a
single one of their candiuates.
The elections were only partially com¬
pleted today, Very little interest was
attached to" the balloting, asit was mere¬
ly a formality in view of the c incus nom¬
inations.
’The following is a complete list of the
judges and solicitors nominated by the
caueas, and elected today: I

Ten Millions Cheaper.
Washington, Oct. 25.—According to
the estimate prepared at the interior de¬
partment $155,805,278.86 will be neces¬
sary to carry on the work of that de¬
partment, including payments for p# n
sions, dfiring the next fiscal year. Ti le
appropriation for this fiscal year wtis
$168,559,950.06 and the saving for ttie
next year is $13,740,781.02.
The decrease in the estimates for pen¬
sions for 1894 is $10,000,009. Tli.e de¬
crease in pensions, it is said, is a decrease
from the ,, appropriation ...... tor the current
year. That appropriation was mailt'be
f ore the close of the last fisml year and
was for $10,000,090 more than
amount actually expended last yi
The estimate for 1896 is no

year, but it is based upon the idea t)
the expenditures will bo stationary

Why Women Ought Not To Work.
“The problem of women from a bio
sooiological point of view” is treated by
Signor G. Forrerro in the currant number
of the Monist. “The essential condition
of feminine existence,” which he desires
to analyze in his paper, is tiiat which he
names “the law of non-labor.” As it is a
natural law that, the man must labor and
struggle to live, so is it a natural law
that the woman should neither labor
nor struggle for her existence. Biology
clearly shows us that the physiological
prosperity of species depends on the di¬
vision of labor between the sexes, for in
exact ratio to this istheduration of life.”
Marriage, as found among the higher an¬
imals, is “a perfected form of the division
of labor aud mutual co-operation of the
sexes.” During hatching time the male
bird does ull the providing for his brood¬
ing mate. At other times her functions
in seeking food are merely auxiliary.
Simiarly with lion aud hyena. The fear¬
ful toil which fulls to the savage woman
the writer pronounces to be “merely a
passing phrase, a yerv dangerous aber¬
ration, produced by the excessive selfish¬
ness of man, which does not and cannot
last long.” 1 leremarks that the races in
which it is found “have remained in a
savage state and have made scarcely any
progress.” In civilized nations female
toil is not necessary for the production
of the wealth needed for humanity. “Man
alone could do this. Woman labor only
tends to lower the marketable value of
male labor; for, while woman is working
in th • factories, there are everywh ire,
and especially in Europe, crowds of men
vainly seeking employment, to whom the
cessation of work is an oft recurrent, and
terrible evil. This shows that, even from
a sociological point of view, female labor
is a pathological phenomenon.
“Statistics show us an increase of mor¬
tality among women and children in
countries where industrial life has press¬
ed mothers into its ranks. A perfect wo¬
man should bo a chef il’wuvre of grace
and refinement, aud to this end hIjo must
be exempt from toil. . . . The work¬
ing woman grows ugly and loses her fe¬
minine characteristics. . . . Woman¬
ly grace and the lore which men bear a
beautiful woman have perhaps been the
origin of paternal love and of all the oth¬
er sweet and tender feelings of which the
male is capable. Grace is the aesthetic
side of weakness. Woman, more than
man, enjoys all the benefits of civiliza¬
tion, which liaye nevertheless been iu
great part acquired by him alone. . .
Mau labors and toils today, just as he
did of old, and there is nothing abnormal
in this fact, for it is his positive duty.
What advantage, then, can be gained by
participating in man’s struggle for exist¬
ence, when woman has only to wait until
lie places these benefits at her feet? I
cannot understand why the question of
woman suffrage should so excite public
opinion. It is entirely profitless to her.
If her husband strains every nerve al¬
ready to provide her with all the luxu¬
ries of life, he will certainly not be lax in
defending those interests which are iden¬
tical with those of liis family.”—Sei. aiti.

THE TIMES JOB OFI
A WEEK IN WASHINGTON.
President Cleveland is again at
White House. He is in robust hi
and, like all other democrats, in splenqjd)
spirits, on account of the clearing
of the democratic skies. This has been
good week at the headquarters of the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
committee. From every direction comes
news of a decided improvement in busi¬
ness and consequently in democratic pros
pects. Even in New York city, where it
looked for a time as though five or six
seats in the House were to be presented
to the republicans by running two demo¬
cratic candidates in each district, the
tangle is being straightened out, thanks
to the hard work of Senators Hill and
Faulkner and fhe good advice of Presi¬
dent Cleveland, and the election of demo¬
crats from all the city districts made cer¬
tain. “If the election could bepostponed
thirty days,” said a member of the Cou
gresional committee, “it would add at
least thirty to the democratic majority
in the next House.”
Postmaster General Bissell has the
right idea of the postal service. Speak¬
ing of an order sent out by him this week,
calling the attention of postal employes
to that portion of the civil service law
whieli prohibits forced political contribu¬
tions from Federal employes, he said:
“The Post Office department is a busi¬
ness, not a political institution. It has
been my endeavor to conduct it on busi¬
ness principles, so as to give the people
the best possible mail facilities. We do
not want the service crippled or inter¬
rupted for political advantage.” Those
are ideas that will make votes among
business men.
Chief Clerk Daniels, of the Interior de¬
partment, who has just returned from
North Carolina, is regarded as high au¬
thority on the politics of that state, aud
his view of the situation there widely dif¬
fers from that which populists and re¬
publicans ere giving out. lie says: "The
republicans and populists have effected a
fusion, so far as formality goes, but
many ill both parties repudiate it. To¬
gether they have 12,000 more votes in
the slate than the democrats, and the
problem is to mass them. If it could
sueeed they would carry the State, but it
is not universal. My opinion is that the
democrats will carry seven districts cer¬
tain, and that their chances are the best
in the two doubtful districts. The legis¬
lature, which will elect two U. S. Sena¬
tors, will surely be democratic on joint
ballot. The democratic judicial ticket
will, I think, bn elected, although that
isn’t as certain ns democratic control of
the legislature.” Members of the Demo¬
cratic Congressianal committee regard
the predictions of Mr. Daniels as very
conservative.
Mr. AV. A. Croffut, a wcll : known jour¬
nalist, who was lately dropped from the
pay rolls of Undo Sam, has turned demo¬
crat after losing his office, thus differing
from those who have pretended to turn
democrat to keep their offices. He is now
on the stump in Chairman Wilson's dis¬
trict. His reasons for becoming a demo¬
crat, as told by himself, are good ones.
He says: “I went to England. I found
that in that country under free trade
they had lower wages than here. I then
thought the protectionist policy a good
tiling. 1 then west to Germany, where
they have our policy of protection. I
found that wages were lower there than
in England. I then went to France,
where they have a high protective tariff,
even between different divisions of the
country, and where 1 found wages still
lower than in Germany. 1 began to
