Democratic Senators and Con

A large majority of the Geor

been organized by colored people

A circular has been issued. The

democratic DRUse of tariff reform.
—There was an instance in Per
ry last Saturday where a laborer
asked payment for work he had
done, and in succession four other
men were dunned as a direct result
of the first request for money.
Thus it is seen that the failure on
~ the part of one person often direct
ly affects a considearble number.
In the instance above refered to,
five dollars would have paid debts
to the extent of $25, by being paid
successively to five persons. The
man who had the five dollars for
which search was made didn’t
come to town that day.
—Col. John F. Troutman, of
Fort Valley, was mentioned in the
Macon Telegraph last Saturday as
a candidate for the office of United
States marshall for the southern
district of Georgia. This fact was
known to us before, but we re
frained from publishing the fact
because it was not believed that a
newspaper canvass was the best
method of proceedure in his be
half. Col. Troutman is fully quali
fied to fill the position, and "is
widely and favorably known
throughout the state. He deserves
recognition of a practical charac
ter, as does the county of which he
is a most valuable and highly es
teemed citizen. Houston is the
baaner democratic county in Geor
gia, but the records do not -show
that any of her citizens have been
appointed to Federal positions
within twenty years, or more. It
is about time for Houston to get a
fair size slice. Our people unani
mously endorse Col. Troutman’s
candidacy. ' '
the federal pension roll.
Not .the least important duty
that will devolve upon the Fifty-
third. Congress, is a correct revis
ion of the federal pension roll.
The figures presented by the
New York World, and reproduced
on the first page of the Home
Journal, are enormous and alarm
ing. Just think of it, one million
people drawing in pensions two
hundred million dollars annually
from the United States treasury.
If these people were all patriot
ic men who had valiently served
the Union in war, or widows of
such soldiers who were left desti
tute by direct cause of the war, the
people of the conntry would be wil
ling to gri u and endure the great
burden. But the fact is, a great
many of these pensioners have no
just claim to the bounties they re
ceive. Men who were mere camp-
Followers, men who reaped direc^
and ill-gotten gain from the war,
have by fraud secured 'government,
favors in this line, favors that were
intended only for men who risked
their lives in defense of their
country.
This is not only an unrighteous
burden upon all the people of the
republic, but it is a positive dis
honor to the government, and to
the honest men whose right it is
to receive public consideration in
the time of their need.
The pension list is increasing at
the ratq of $350,000 per month,and
the number of pensioners is already
greater than the entire Confeder
ate army throughout the war.
Already the greatest expense of
the government, if allowed to con
tinue in the fraudulent way of its
present management, it will soon
embrace a majority of the people
of the north, east and northwest,
and the burden will bankrupt the
nation. The people of the south
are not opposed to honest and rea
sonable pensions to soldiers who
served honorably in tho federal ar
my, but they protest in emphatic
terms agaiust pensions granted to
bummers and tricksters for parti
san political purposes.
Of the systematic frauds of the
pension department, the New York
World says:
“This carnival of wrong and rob
bery must cease. The pension list
must be purged of its frauds. As
it stands it is an impeachment of
the patriotism of the men who
saved the Union. It has been
made a roll of dishonor against the
earnest protest of honorable sol
diers. Every name added to it by
the present Commissioner is taint
ed with a suspicion of unworthi
ness.”
This demand is in behalf of the
people, and the fifty-third congress
will be outrageously recreant to
its trust, if the demand is.not met
promptly, honestly and thoroughly.
The New York Press, the most
recklessly partisan republican pa-
perin the country, seeks to fore
stall congressional action by a sen
timental cry that reeks with bitter
sectionalism. It is asserted by this
rank south-hating partisan, that
the proposed revision of the pen
sion list is the latest programme of
the ex-Confederates. In its tirade
against the south in this connec
tion, the Press admits that the
pension list is large, but justifies
that fact. That there are many
names on the list that, were put
there through fraud is not denied,
but it is assumed that every man,
widow or orphan of such man)who
claims to have been a soldier in the
federal army should unquestion
ably receive a pension from the
government. The only argument
against a revision of the list is a
sectional one, that is in fact no ar
gument at all. The rights of the
people generally and the honest
use of government funds is not
considered at all.
On the other hand, Tho World
speaks for the rights of the people
and the honor of the government.
. An honest revision of tiie. pen
sion list will do no harm to the
honest beneficiaries of the govern
ment. Only the impostors will be
estopped from further receiving a
reward for their dishonesty.
The pension roll should be
purged of its frauds.
Canada is expected to become a
part of the United States in the
comparatively near future, by Dot
a few astute politicians in this
country. At this distance it is not
plait? that the United States would
be materially benefitted by admit
ting Canada into our Union. The
New York Press is delighted at the
possibility, however, and we dare
say political hopes give rise to that
pleasurable anticipation. It strikes
us that Canada, if joined to this
government, would in a large
measure join forces with the re
publican party, and thus that par
ty v^uld regain the power it has
lost No wonder the republicans
desire the annexation af Canada.
It is not likely that the interna
tional monetary Conference will
agree to the proposition presented
by the delegates from the"■ United
States. Our delegates liave pro
posed a fixed coinage ratio for gold
and silver, and the' use of both
coins on equal terms.
AN UNWISE TENDENCY.
There is a tendency among the
people to look toward the govern
ment for direct material»aid that
cannot be fruitful of good results,
in a general or personal sense-
just now this tendency is being
manifested with emphasis by the
numerous preparations to apply
for official position under the in
coming democratic administration.
The direct cause of the nu
merously expressed desire for gov
ernment positions is the univrsally
accepted opinion that the federal
government pays more for service
than can be secured in regulai
business pursuits for work of like
grade. This'-opinion is correct in
some instances, but in a majority
of cases equal service and talens
devoted to regular business would
result in greater profits—more
clear money.
It is true that these positions
must be filled, and|tbat it is com
mendable to aspire to patriotic
service in behalf of the govern
ment. As a stepping stone to po-
lititical ambition, some of these
positions serve admirably, but the
pursuit of political fame is more
alluring than satisfying in most
instances. -It is true that the
plaudits of the world are showered
upon the successful statesman, but
it is also true that profound obscu
rity completely envelopes the ma
jority of men who retire from offi
cial position, no matter how great
the distinction they have enjoyed.
The record is yet to be made of a
public position that has been en
tirely satisfying to its occupant.
The disappointments in govern
ment service are considerably more
numerous than the pleasures that
surround them.
Considering the desire for mon
ey in connection with public of
fice, we venture the assertion that
more money has been spent in ef
forts to secure office than the of
fices have yielded in clear profits
to those who have secured them.
Seeking office causes the direct
expenditure of money, much unea
siness, and often engenders bitter
ness where close friendship had
before existed. The man who is
competent to fill an office to which
is attached a desirable salary, is
also competent to earn as mnch, or
more, in the ordinary channels of
business.* 1 When anjoffice is gained
it is only an uncertain tenure, and
at the close of an official term the
aptitude and capacity for regular
businss is materially reduced. In
fact office-holding is sure to unfit,
.more or loss, one for any other
service.
The man who is able to gain
prominence in public life, is able
to win for himself as good a name
and more money in any of the reg
ular channels of business.
There are men who are peculiar
ly fitted for public life, and would
fail in any other sphere, but they

WITH A VISITING COMMITTEE.
Editor Home Journal:
Allow me to make some brief
mention of my last few days’ expe
rience. [ left Macon last Monday
evening with the committee of the
House and Senate to visit and in
spect the Lun-itic Asylum at Mill
edgeville.
We reached|the good old town at
7 o’clock, and were invited to sup
per by the faculty of the Industri
al School for gir.s. We received a
nost cordial welcome, and partook
jf a most excdlet supper, prepared
and served by the girls of the
school, under the supervision of
the la'dy teachers of said school
After supper, and a few moments'
pleasant chat with the girls and
teachers, we repaired to the hotel
and spent tiie night.
After breakfast the next morn
ing we attended the opening exer
cises of both schools, the first be
ing the one taught in the old State
Capitol, which has about 400 pu
pils, and an excellent and able
corps of teachers. The other, the
Industrial School for Girls, num
bers over 300 pupils, and is under
the very best management aud
training. Too much cannot be said
in behalf of Milledgeville’s schools.
I hardly know how to express
my feelings while passing through
and inspecting the old mansion—
the once happy home of Georgia’s
able and distinguished Governors;
and when I stood upon the old ros
trum in the old capitol.and allowed
my miud to run back to the days
of Stevens aud Toombs and Cobb
aud the host of Georgia’s illustri
ous sons who in that very hall bad
put upon the statute books of our
grand old state her soundest and
best legislation, I could but feel
that there was a sacredness about
the very place itself, as well as the
memories of what it once was; and
as I heard from several of the par
ty, I felt that a great mistake had
been made in moving from this
grand old place ihe legislative in
terests of Georgia.
At 10 o’clock the dummy pulled
up aud we got on board and rolled
over to the Asylum. We were cor
dially welcomed and escorted
through all the various apartments
of that vast institution, where is to
be found about 1,600 iumates, em
bracing every grade aud shade of
insanity, from the mildest"to the
wildest, and coming from every
walk of life, frsm the highest to the
very lowest. In justice to the
keepers lam frank to' say that not
one in ten of the private homes in
Georgia is as neatly and cleanly
-kept ns is every portion of this
vast home. After supper we were
invited to a ball, which took place
in a large hall about 30 by 200
feet. We found assembled in this
hall about 200 of the convalescent
insane; a string band hired for the
occasion dispensed the music,while
those people, togsher with such of
the visitors as felt disposed to do
so, engaged for two hours in a so
cial dance. There were frequently
as many as four or five sets on the
floor at one timp during the,'even
ing. It was all had under the per
soual supervision of the managers
of the institution, Drs. Powell,
O’Daniel and others, with several
of the board of trustees present, as
was the committee of the House
and Senate. At 10 o’clock the
dummy rolled up and we pulled
Back to the hotel, where we spent
the night.
The next day we went over to
Macon, and the prevailing idea be
ing that there would be no session
of the House on Thanksgiving
Day, I accepted an invitation from
Senator Russell and went down to
Savannah, and from there out on
Savannah and Charleston railroad,
had a nice deer bunt, and returned
to my seat in the House yesterday
morning.
It is not necessary to say what
we are doing, as you get it from
the papers every day. We have
made the question of the Soldiers’
Home the special order tor next
Friday, at which time I hope to
see it forever laid aside, so far as
the state is concerned.
