Perry, Thursday, January 5.
The character of 1893 will be as
the .people make it-r-good or bad.
Congress convened again Wed
nesday, after a short recess for the
Christmas holidays.
Beginning on Sunday and end
ing with Sunday, 1893 should be a
most excellent year.
Judge A; L. Miller'has formed
a law copartnership with Hon.
A. O. Bacon, of Macon.
Political contentions and dis
cussions should now be completely
displaced by business plans and
actions*
Reports from Kansas continue
to assert that Mi’s. Lease seriously
aspires to represent that state in
the United States Senate.
The memory of 1892 should re
main with us only for our good,
enabling us to avoid in 1893 such
errors as brought trouble last
year.
Bey. T. Dewitt Talmage will
deliver a lecture in Atlanta on the
evening of January 17th, for the
benefit of the Young Men’s Chris
tian association.
Revolutionists have formed a
plan to overthrow the. government
of Mexico, and there has been
some fighting within the last two
or three weeks.
The fight for a change in the
present laws concerning silver
money will occupy much of the
attention of Congress during the
next several weeks.
Speaker Ckisp has been ill with
cold since his visit to New York
last week, but he is now reported
to be much better. His physician
says he is not seriously ill.
The presidential electors chosen
last November will meet next
Monday in the capitals of their re
spective states and cast their votes
for president and vice president.
@IT is now slated on good author
ity that there will be an extra ses
sion of congress, but not until next
fall, unless a deficit in the treasury
absolutely demands an earlier
meeting.
Should Hon. James H. Blount
be appointed Postmaster General
by President Cleveland, the postal
affairs of the country would be
most efficiently, honestly and
economically managed.
The political architects have so
fa rfailed to satisfactorily construct
President Cleveland’s cabinet.
They will continue to fail, but Mr.
Cleveland will correctly arrange
that matter in due season.
□Hon. James G. Blaine is still
quite ill and confined to his house,
. but he has recovered somewhat
from his recent severe attack. His
physician says there is nothing in
his present condition to excite
alarm. '.
Hon. Charles L. Bartlett, of
Macon, is’ now Judge of the Macon
Superior court circuit,, succeeding
Judge A. L. Miller, resigned. He
was appointed by Gov. Northeu
last week^afler being unanimously
reoommended by the bar of the
circuit.
On the 17th inst. the New York
Legislature will elect a democratic
Senator to- succeed "Senator
Hitchcock, republican. It is said,
that Hon. Edward Murphy will
surely be elected, though Presi
dent-elect Cleveland has said that
Mr. Murphy is not a suitable man
for the position.
It is now said that the majority
in the next United States Senate
depends upon the legislature of
Nebraska. Neither the democrats
nor the the republicans have a ma
jority in that legislature, and it is
doubtful how the populist mem
bers will vote. The controlling
issues'are local in character, but
the democrats are hopeful.
Anarchists in Spain threaten
that country with wild disorder
and bloodshed. • A woman named
Theresa Claremunt addressed a
re-union of fifteen hundred an
archists at Barcelona last Monday,
It is not too early for farmers in
Georgia and throughout the cotton
belt to make their plans for the
coming crop season. Experience
is always useful, though some
times it comes exceedingly- dear.
Our farmers should be exceeding
ly careful concerning the area they
devote to cotton^this' year. No
matter what interested parties say,
the price of cotton is materially
controlled, though perhaps not
entirely, by the laws of supply and
demand. Therefore it would be
hurtful to the producers for a crop
to be made that would much more
than supply the demand.
Through bitter experience it
was learned in 1890 that a large
cotton crop means ruinously low
prices. In 1892' it was learned
that a smaller crop brings better
prices.
The advanced prices during No
vember and December filled many
farmers with the idea that 1893
will be a good time for a big cot
ton crop. This opinion, however
strange it may seem, -is held
saceredly to himself by the indi
vidual farmer, under the delusion
that other farme-s will not plant
largely in cotton, and the reason
ing goes on the line that a compar
atively small crop will be made,
and the individual farmer who
increases his cotton acreage will
“strike it rich” iu the consequent
high prices. We advise the farm
er who reasons thus that his
neighbors are all thinking like
wise. The farmer who conspires
with, his conscience to “slip up” on
his neighbors after this fashion
will find to his hurt that his cal
culations were entirely out of gear.
Raising cotton to buy corn, meat
and other farm supplies that can
be raised at home will n^ver be
profitable, and all prosperous
farmers know it.
The.Home Journal does not
aspire to.become general director
of agriculterial affairs, but we
warn our farmers against planting
such an acreage of cotton as will
iii any degree displace the neces
sary crops of farm supplies.
France enters the new year in
a decidedly unsettled political
condition. Some of the govern
ment officials became mixed up
with the Panama Canal frauds,
and a government cricis was pre-
cipated a month or more ago. At
the same time evideuce of a con
spiracy to overthrow the republic
were discovered, and the end is
not yet in sight.-
The young men and young wo
men who aspire to obtain Acade
mic of College education, and
whose parents cannot well afford
them that expense, will be inter
ested in the work of The Cosmopi
olitan Magazine, which has offered
for the year 1893 one thousand
scholarships at any of the leading
colleges or schools of the United
States, upon the condition of in
troducing the magazine into cer
tain neighborhoods. Yale, Vassar,
Harvard, Ann Arbor, Chicago, the
Southern colleges, the great schools
of art and medicine, all are alike
open to the ambitious boy or girl
who is not afraid of a little earnest
work. The Cosmoplitan sends out
from its New York office a hand
somely printed pamphlet to any
applicant, telling just what is
necessary in order to secure one
of these scholarships. The schol
arship itself includes board, lodg
ing, laundry and tuition—all free.
In response to. a special invita
tion Speaker Crisp visited Presi
dent-elect Cleveland in New York
last. week. Of coarse the purpose
of the meeting was political, but
no details of the conference have
been made public. Mr. Crisp, has
declared however, that he is iu no
way antagonistic to Mr. Cleve
land’s views.
• Revelry and bloodshedl was
prominent in nearly all sections of
the country during the Christmas
holidays. Why this season is
above all devoted to debauchery
and deviltry is a remarkable fact
that cannot bft explained. Reasou
ought to demand that precisely
the opposite should occur.
It is now said that Senater Car
lisle has declined to enter Presi
dent Cleveland’s cabinet, prefer-
ing to continue in his present po
sition. Another report says he
has agreed to accept a' cabinet
place, and will be Secretary of the
Treasury.
A Remarkable Newspaper
prise.
Combination is the characteris
tic of this age, and when capital
ists are combining in trusts, work
ing men in labor unions, and
farmers in alliances, newspapers
can hardly be blamed for joining
the procession. Indeed it is re
markable that the press has not
lead the way in taking advantage
of the power of association, instead
lagging behind.
The Press Claims Company,
whose advertisement appears in
another column and will become
familiar to our readers during the
coming year, illustrates the ad
vantages of eo-operatiou on an ex
tensive scale. It is a combination
of hundreds of the leading news
papers of the United States,for the
purpose of protecting their patrons
against unscrupulous Washington
claim agents, and securing prompt,
efficient and economical -service to
all persons having dealings with
the Government. Incidentally the
company expects to make a profit
for'itself. It will secure patents
and pensions, perfect land titles,
and atteud to all other legitimate
business of the kind on terms that
will make its employment a neces
sity to claimants having a proper
regard for their own interests.
Membership in this company is
a guaranty of the high standing of
any hewspaper, all applications
for stock having been carefully
considered and passed upou by the
Board of Directors before allot
ment. The company comes before
the public backed by the collect
ive indorsement of over five hun
dred of the leading journals of the
United States. That The Home
Journal has been admitted to
such an 8S3oeiition is a compliment
which oar readers will appreciate
as highly as ourselves. We take
pleasure iu recommending the
Pi’ess Claims Company to all who
may desire the satisfactory trans
action of business in its line -
