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 of their statesmen. A faithful and effi¬ 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 tion. Government is a practical science, ami the laws of a country should be adapted to the time practical should the affaire taxing of its people. be used At no power to take from th«* peojde a greater sum than is required to meet the administered, expenses of government, economically and, especially in periods of financial de¬ pression, it is the inijierative duty in of pub¬ lic servants to exact economy every public expenditure, possible. uiid Au levy intelligent the lowest and tax rate progressive j>eoj»le will not approveaj>ol icy which, by its stint, jiroduees waste and retards the progress of tl e state, but ■ they demand that wise and healthy econ¬ omy which promotes growth and is es¬ sential to good govern men t.

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 force of bands to work night and day to build more stalls. But it is the universal verdict that it is the biggest thing ever seen in Georgia, It is imjiossible to give it justice in the limited space we have, and we can only say, go to Macon and see for. yourself, The Fair continues through this week and uj» to Friday of next week. through The races liegin Monday ami run next Monday while every night this week " at 8b Last’puvs^of 8 'L”* °' V ’ Pom thing If you miss the it yoowill miss the biggest of year, 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 Chief Justice of the Supreme Couit— Simmons of Atlanta.

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 f rom the amount actually expended 1 year, but it is based upon the idea t) the expenditures will bo stationary the years 1894,1895 and 1890.

About 1 o'clock in the morning the railroad depot was discovered to be on lire.

The postofttce was also de¬ stroyed. The loss is estimated at about llo,000, on which there is very small in¬ surance.

Statesboro, Ga. 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 think then. 1 saw that tariff did notreg ulato wages. I saw that something was wrong. I found that it was in the pro tective system, and that is one of the many reasons why’ I have changed my views and am now a democrat.” Commissioner of Pensions Lochren says of the bureau’s letter to a possinas¬ ter, which the republicans have printed as a campaign document: “In adjudi eating a pension case it lias always been the practice of the bureau to call on the postmaster in the locality where the affi ant resides for information as to his cred¬ ibility. Postmasters sometimes object to giving this information, particularly when the in’ormation is derogatory to the character of the affiant, without gome USBUra nce that their eomrnuniea answer to an inquiry <»“■T fiom 1 ostniaster ? 1.

Instead of supjdanting the ar¬ my officers now acting as Indian agents with civilians, as was published, it is in¬ tended to supplant the thecivilian Indian agents with army officers as fast as va¬ cancies occur. Quite a difference.
