Concerning “J.”
New York Star.
k writer in the North American
Review is very sarcastic over
President Cleveland’s letter o£ ac-
beptance, because the personal
jjronouns “I” and “me” figure so
often in it. The same criticism has
in past time been applied to other
iheu who had SO mucli individual
ity as to be obliged to make “I”
and “me” prominent when they
said or did anything. If a maii
iiad an opinion; it is the opinion
bf the “I.” If he has no opinion
of his own, he can get along very
well without the “I.” If a man
has the courage and decision to
act and take responsibilities, it is
| list as well to say, in substance,
“ ‘I’ do this or that.” If he has
ho courage, and shriuks from ' re
sponsibilities, he naturally doesn’t
riant to to make the “I” so prom
inent. The shadow or fragment
bf a man has little need for ob
truding the “I” upon the public,
for there is little or no “I” to pro
ject There is a silly egotism, and
there is a justifiable egotism. Peo
ple soon find out the difference be
twixt the “I” that is very small
Sriti claims to be something very
large and the “I” that amounts to
something. The man who backs
up his convictions with acts,- and
has a good many Convictions to so
bafek up, might as well say, for the
sake of brevity and clearness; “I”
do thus and so, as to say the same
thing by tlffi iiie of some more
cumbrous form of expression. The
man who has no convictions and
doesn’t want any, and whd in his
expressions studies to give three
ihfianings to one assertion, and
whose life is one continual twist,
turn, squirm and wriggld not to
give a direct answer or give a pos
itive opinion unless it is furnished
with an india-rubber backbone to
bend in any direction that policy
shall dictate—this “I’'-less species
of man will naturrally use a letter,

pression into which he can worm

Tammany in the mayoralty fight
four years agd; , The County Dem
ocracy followed suit promptly,
placing Mayor Hewitt in renomi
nation.
Although such action had been
Anticipated for some time, strenu
ous efforts wefe made at the last
moment to fuse the varying fac
tions. Several confidential ad
visers from Washington, personal
and political friends of the presi
dent, including Senator Gorman.
Congressman Scott Arid Secretary
Whitney, were closeted all night
with the chiefs of the belligerent
forces. It looked for a while as if
the redoubtable Secretary of the
Navy would himself be selected as
the head of the union ticket, but
all came to natight, and Tammany
hastened to throw down the gaunt
let and flourish the tomahawk as
she has so often done in the past.
The impression among demo
crats here that this local duel will
add votes to the national ticket is
very general; aha this, too, is
based upon history. The only time
ii democrat has succeeded in get
ting enough votes in New York
city to land him id tile White
House was under precisely similar
Conditions. On the other hand,
when all factions were joined eight
years ago, Hancock was merciless
ly knifed. This view is also ac
cepted by the national committee
men, and the only fear they have
is that a bad effect may be pro
duced ou outside states, where
these conditiens are not so well
understood. All indications favor
the triumph of Mayor Hewitt, who
has been endorsed by a large body
independents, tfsiially found in the
republican column. Whether there
will be a regular republican Rich
mond in the field has not been de
termined. The leaders seem very
much divided on this point, and
there is ho telling what the out
come will be.
Four years ago Cleveland’s ma
jority in this city was 43;000. Gov.
Hill did a great deal better two
years later. This year the demo
cratic managers place the majority
for the national ticket at at least
55,000, and claim with reason a
gain of six to seven thousand in
Brooklyn and Rings county.
There is not the slightest cause
for alarm about New York state.
The news from Connecticut and
New Jersey is' also very favorable.
Particular attention is being given
by the party managers to the little
nutmeg state, which is always
more or less eccentric at election
times. A recent private poll gives
the democrats 3,000 plurality—
about as much as any- one aver
gets in that state. Democratic
gains in the recent town elections'
amply justify this claim.

my expenditures within the com
pass of One-fourth of my income.”
We were glad indeed to hear such
a declaration from that young
friend, and would that Avery young
man in Monroe county just begin
ning life for himself would adopt
and rigidly adhere to that rule.
For that young man in adopting
this rule has struck the key note to
financial success fof every young
man who will work; lie has enter
ed upon the path that will lead to
comfort and plenty in his declin
ing years. May this young man
infuse, by contact and example,
this same spirit into his conferees
and associates, and scatter the seed
thereof broadcast among the young
men of the county; He; as a mat
ter of preference, has chosen farm
ing as his vocation, and said he,
“j^es, one-fourth of my. income
must suffice to gratify my aspira
tions for pleasure.” This young
man is following in the walks of
his honored father and grandfath
er, both farmers, who were at all
times familiar with plenty.
If he adheres to this rule of
saving three-fourths of his income
from constant work, pinching want
will never visit his home. The
prime reason why the young men
of this county do not make money
is, because they do not save what
they make. Any young man who
will work in the farm or elsewhere,
and save three-fourths of his in
come, will make, and will have
money. It buoys us up greatly,
and strengthens our hope foi’ the
future prosperity of our country,
when we see and hear that her
young men are planting themselves
upon such a platform.
Advises Against Betting
Rosa Wise, a young girl of Meri-
diaii, Miss., had five cents given
her as a joke for a birthday pres
ent. She bought a yard of calico
with it and made a sun-bonnet,
which she sold for forty cents.
This she invested in more calico,
made it up and sold the garments
and reinvested the capital until
she had §10. With this she bought
potatoes, planted them, paid for
the cultivation of her crop, the
gathering and carrying to town,
atid iiiade §50 clean profit. This
is worthy not only of your consid
eration, but your emulation, young
lady or young man. Go thou and
do likewise.
The betting mania has not seized
upon the Biehmond correspondent
of the Baltimorean; He says: I
have netef seen our people more
sanguine in their expectations that
Cleveland and Thurman will be
elected. Many call upon your
correspondent to consult with him
as to the propriety of making wa
gers, but I give no counsel for or
against. I have had much experi
ence, and I have long since come
to the conclusion that nothing can
be more uncertain than the result
of a popular election befor the
people, unless it be a verdict of a
jury and the termination or a
horse race. I can recollect how
utterly astounding was the defeat
of Martin Yan Buren in 1840, by
William Henry Harrison, of Ohio;
then four years subsequently in
1844, the great orator and undenia
bly popular Henry Clay, of Ken
tucky, was defeated by James
Knox Polk, of Tennessee? and
then in 1848, Gen. Zachary Taylor
defeated the Hon. Lewis' Cass, of
Michigan; four years subsequent,
in 1852, Gen. Franklin Pierce, of
New Hampshire, gave Gen. Win
field Scott H perfect Waterloo.
Here then was a change every
four years for 16 consecutive years.
Bo not bet on: election# is your
correspondent’s advise to all who
may feel that way inclined
000 square miles, and has a popu
lation of little more than 2,000,000
Greeks and Albanians. Scotland
has about the same territory and-
almost twice as many people;
Switzerland lids a third less terri
tory and a third morepeople. Bel
gium and Holland taken together
have about the same territory as
Greece and five time§/ as many
people. As for wealth’,^Greece is
proverbially the poorestoountry in
Europe. Her rugged, mountains
and barren shores are hardly fit in
many places for the scantiest veg
etation; she has no rivers with fer
tile banks; her commerce is still
undeveloped, and uhe is cut off
from Europe by the treacherous
Adriatic and by the inhospitable
strip of Turkish territory that
promises to keep her for an indefi
nite future from opening her rail
way connections with the north.
In Greece to-day it is the uni
versal custom to speak of “going
to Europe” L just as the Americans
do of the stormy Atlantic between
New York and Liverpool. Add to
all this the fact that this barren
little kingdom of 2,000,000 souls
has a public debt of $80,000,000,
and supports an army as large as
that of the United States. The
tales are so high that the island of
Crete, now under Turkish rule,
would nearly double its ratio of
taxation, should It enter the king
dom of Greece. But in spite of all
this discouragement Athens to-day
is a busy hive of educational in
stitutions, and in all the country
villages there are thrifty schools,
a compulsory law being carried
oiit with more vigor year after
year. Ten years ago tlie statistics
for illiteracy in Greece were ahead
of those of Italy to-day, and* these
ten years have revolutionized edu-
tional affairs in Greece.
The etymology of the word
honeymoon is thus given by "a
good authority: “Among the
northern nations of Europe there
was an ancient practice of newly-
married couples to drink methegin
or mead, a kind of wine made from
honey (hydroma) for thirty days
after marriage. Hence’ the term
honeymonth or honeymoon. At-
tilla; the Hun, diank so -much
mead at his wedding feast that he
died.
The longest through car service
of any railroad line in the world
is said to he on the Southern Pa
cific road, between New Orlearfs
and San Francisco, 2,595 miles.
The fastest through train on this
road is timed at 113 hours and 22
minutes, or at the rate of 22 miles
an hour.
This’year in Georgia there are
6,605 more voters than last year.
There are 2,214 more white vo
tersjthan last year
There are 4,318 more colored
voters^than last year. „
Though the number of able-bod
ied men has increased, the number
of workers between^ 12 and 65
years bl age h«sf decrgased from
94087 to 87,793.
There are 49 railroadjpresidents
and only thirteen superintendents.
Improved ; land has increased
247,205 acres, 5 and worth • $2,141,-
985 more 'than last year.
The value' of horses, mules,
sheep andj cattle has increased
$999,064.
Thfefe is $411,231 more of house
hold and kitchen furniture.
There is $33,099 less of watches,"
jewelry and silverware.
Therefore 120,785 more dollars
invested in plantation and mechan
ical tools.
There were 699,137 dollars
worth of cotton, corn and provis
ions held! by farmers on April
first—$337,657 more than last
year.
Town and oity property has in
creased in. value $4400,291.
Bank shares are worth $1,-
368,196 more than last year.
Merchandise is worth §545,312
more than last year.
This is the'story of the tax di
gests for 1888. It is a story of
prosperity among the farmers,
in the cities Wand towns; bet
ter stock, better cattle, better
tools, better furniture, apd more
comfort in all walks of life.

have hides and bark—better bark
than hemlock. Hemlock is the poof

Geogia is nfdre manufactories; let
us make our own wagons,’ buggies
and harness, boots and shoes;
have our own foundries, make our

You Gdn raise a mule colt as' chieajj’

more experience in leather and
shoes—have fifty years experience
in this business, and think I know
what leather and shoes are. Then
you keep the money at home; and
you can get it back for hides, tal

most any thing you have to sell.
