Along with the new peach
Orchards, Georgia should secure a
few new manufactories.
. Represenratives of the-depos
ed queen of Hawaii are in Wash
ington protesting against annexa
tion.
The Cleveland idea will be par

DEMOcratic.congressmen. should
bear in mind continually that ac
cording to their politcal services
will their constituents judge them,

Ex-Senator Spencer, of Ala
bama, died in Washington City
last Sunday night. He suffered
from a stroke of paralysis in 1891,
and the second stroke caused his
death. '
Gen. Gustave T: Beauregard,
one of the most prominent officers
of the Confederate army, died last
Mondny night at his home in New
Orleans. He was 77 years old,
and was the last of the full rank
generals of the Confederacy.
A democratic senator has been
elected by tbe legislature of North
Dakota. His name is William
Roach. Democratic control of the
next Senate is now positively as
sured, even without the co-opera
tion of the populist Senators.

The Interstate railroad commis
sioners should equalize the freight
rates from southern to northern
points, on mannfaetuers,with these
from northern to southern points.
The present rates are directly in the
interest of the northern mannfac
turers.
An effort is being made in New
York to collect back taxes on the
personal property of the-estate of
the late Jay .Gould. That prop
erty was valued for taxation at
$500,000, and now the'trustees of
the estate swear that it is worth
$70,000,000.

Judge Howell E. Jackson, of
Tennessee, has been confirmed by
the senate as Justice of the United
States Supreme'court, to succeed
Justice Lamar,- deceased. It is
said that Presideht Harrison has
agreed not to appoint a-district
judge to succeed Judge Jackson.

The republicans of the Kansas
legislature have’ determined- to
elect another.United States Sena
tor, to contest the legality of the
claim of John W. Martin, who was
recently elected by the'populists
of that legislature. To onVat this
distance, the whole affair seems to
be a farce, with nothing legal
about it.
Among the many thinge that
concern / the prosperity ."of the
south, legislative, financial and
commercial, one of the most im-
’•pbrtant is manufacturing. Of
course We mean by this all that in
any degree. affects the establish
ment of factories in the south, the
tnanagementof such industries, as
well as - the conditions surrounding
the sale and transportation of the
articles manufactured.
Until recent years the south was
an almost inconsiderable factor in
the manufacturing world, and her
rights in the premises received
very . limited consideration. The
conditions in this connection are
being materially altered, and the
south is assuming considerable
importance as a manufacturing
factor.
The immediate purpose for
which this article is written is to
call attention to’the fact that our
southern manufacturers are being
unjustly, treated in the matter of
freight fates. A manufactured
article can be shippedffrom Bos
ton- of Philadelphia to a Georgia
town at a much lower rate than
tbe same article can be shipped
from the same Georgia town to
any point.iu Tennessee, or any ad
joining state.
This is unjust, operating as it
does directly in favor of northern
manufacturers to the material dis
advantage of Georgia manufactur
ers. Later we will have more to
say on this subject, and give the
official rates comparison.
In the meantime our representa
tives in congress should examine
into this matter, and have the in
terstate railroad commissioners to
perform their duty in the prem
ises.
Extensive preparations are be
ing made in- Washington for tbe
inauguration of President Cleve
land, on the 4th of March. It is
said Mr. Harrison will leave Wash
ington for his home at Indianapo
lis at 1:30 o’clock p. m. that day,
immediately after the inaugura
tion ceremonies. He will resume
the practice of law. f
..—Houston farmers are diligent
ly preparing to plant their crops;
and a large majority of them pro
pose To produce as near as practi
cable all the supplies they need.
They have become convinced that
il is not profitable to raise cotton
to buy meat, lard, corn, syrup and
ofher necessities that can be pro
duced on their farms.
It is reported that a legislator
representing a Southwest Georgia
county will introduce a bill during
the next session limiting the ser
vice of county officers to two terras
of two years each. The principle
of this proposition is -wrong, and it
should be defeated. The service
of county officers, as to number of
terms,, should be measured by the
quality of their service and the
will of the people.
A TREATY for the annexation of
Hawaii to the United States was
negotiated betweep Secretary Ros
ter and the commissioners from
that country last week. President
Harrison sdnfc the treaty to the
Senate last Thursday, with a mes
sage earnestly recommending its
ratification. The treaty provides
for the assumption of United
States authority over Hawaii,
leaving the details of government
to be arranged by Congress. This
action is thought to be hasty by
many, but it is believed that the
treaty will be ratified.
A SOUTHERN PHENOMENON.
•
The law of supply and demand
is an enigma to the souther farmer.
It strikes him wrong every time.
It ruus the cotton market down
just when he is obliged to sell, and
the price of. such supplies as lie
must have is run up just when he
is obliged to buy; Really this law,
though a natural one, acts very
much like one of republican ori
gin; or somewhat like the old reb’s
gun that would never shoot except
toward a yankee.
Now this state of affairs is get
ting real muuotouous, and relief is
being looked for in many direc
tions. Many of us are worrying
ourselves no little because we cau’t
understand how a law.of nature’s
making will work so one sided.
We are half disposed sometimes
to believe that it is being tamper
ed with by cornering vultures.
One thing, however, we do know;
the present modus operandi of the
Houston farmer must be changed,
or farming is-a failare. • We sug
gest that relief can be secured by
every farmer supplying his own
demands just as far as the soil and
climate will admit, and then look
after supplying the demands of
other people. Do this, and it does
notmatter if we never find where
the trouble lies.
Byron, Ga. Houston. .
- Are you a pessimist? This
question was addressed to me. It
was projected point foremost by a
lady who has known me more than
thirty years. I do not say thirty
years and a decade, for two rea
sons. I don’t like the word decade,
and am disinclined to suggest the
lady’s age. The question jolted
me, but I think she did not observe
its effect. I have tried to conject
ure why she asked the question,
but cannot satisfy myself. She
had inquired of me concerning a
preacher whom I know, and was
receiving such information as I
was prepared to furnish. I Spoke
candidly and freely. Sometimes
candor uses a skinning knife. But
I do not see that even the severest
candor is ^pessimism. Now this
lady herself holds membership in
a church, as I do in anotner chuigli
of the same denomination.- Her
drarch has been served daring the
past eight years by three preachers
from three stales.- It seems per
fectly clear that not one preacher
in the South Georgia Conference
is acceptable, to her church. This
is severer and broader than any
thing that I have said about
preachers, and 1 have said much.
The difference between her pessi-
ism and mine is the difference be
tween wholesale and retail. This
statement of facts does not satisfy
me that she suspected pessimism
because I furnished the informa
tion she sought. This information
did not surprise her at r.11. Did
she think I ought to, sound the
praises of a preacher whom ’her
Church and herself would not tol
erate for a day? Verily her pes
simism depreciates my culture.
She knows I am not an optimist,
but she is altogether too sensible a
woman to suppose that,therefore, I
must be Jke other. Optimism and
pessimism are at the antipodes
facing outward, and there is am
ple space between for all the
rational beliefs of men. On this
middle ground I find room enough
to prance and curvet with the
greatest freedom. I keep.on hand
at all times a considerable stock of
moderate opinions and impressions
and none of them wear masks in
the presence of “my friends. Do
pessimists have friends?

Washington correspondent, and
the nanes of.all but two have been
officially announced, as follows:

Kentucky; Secretary of the In
terior; Hoke Smith, of Georgia;
Secretary of War, Daniel S. La-

York; Secretary, of Agriculture,
J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska.
The names of the Attorney Gen

Houston County deserves favor
at the hands of Speaker. Crisp, but
The Home 1 Journal does not be
lieve that-snch favor cau .be secur
ed by any threatened opposition to
the electian of Mr. Crisp two years
hence. We believe Mr. Crisp will
act conscienciously iii’ the matter
of endorsing candidates for-office.
Otherwise he would be unworthy
of the position he occupies. We
Rope the Houston candidates will
receive the appointments they de
sire, but we are not willing to
make any effort to coerce Mr.
Crisp in their favor. .

The political antagonisms of the
Kansas legislature came near cul
minating in actual war last week,
when the speaker of the republican
faction broke open the do.or of the
House of Representatives with a
sledge hammer, and the populists
were driven from the hall by act
ual -force. Then the militia was
called out by the governor, and .the
sheriff of the county organized a
posse of l,0o0 deputies. At this
juncture a compromise was effect
ed, the republicans having posses
sion of tbe House, while the popu
lists occupy another room in '.the
capitol. Thus peace reigns, pend
ing a decision of the Supreme
coart. The situation has been re
markable throughout. Though
there were more republicans in
the house than populists, each fac
tion elected a speaker, and a dual
house existed. The governor rec
ognized the populists, and a popu
list was elected United States sen
ator, and bills were passed. Now
the Supreme conrt has issued an
injunction forbidding the treasurer
to’ pay out money under the bills
passed by the populists. What
the. final outcome will be cannot
be foretold.

The farmers are.’making good

every effort to push their work,
preparatory for planting. As yet
none -have plauted any corn, but
will soon. The high price for cot
