A political promise is not a
sgfe foundation for fibancial archi-
ecture.
Republican reports of demo
cratic affairs are untrustworthy at
all times.
The man who, works zealously to
promote good times, will not have
time to grumble about hard, times.
•• - The advice of the editor is al
ways free, is always intended, for
the-general good, and generally it
is correct.
Chicago will soon be the center
of pOpiSlatiori. Nearly all the peo

placed on exhibition at the world’s

Whenever politics becomes the
tool of designing men, need to
serve personal purposes, instead of
for the good of the public, then
politics deserves condemnation. A
party is certainly-in a bad way
when it is weaker than a particu
lar man, and a - man certainly is
great when he embodies to a pre
eminent degree the great princi
ples of a great political party'.
President Cleveland has been
criticised becanse be recognizes
the fitness for official position of
men who were not in favor of his
nomination. Mr. Cleveland merely
shows clearly that he is more a
democrat than a Cleveland man,
politically. The Atlanta Constitu
tion gives a clear illustration of
the situation, as follows:
‘Mr. Cleveland’s attitude since
he has been president onght to be
an example to those officious per
sons who are trying to create the
impression that they are his per
sonal representatives. He isiioldr
ing a pretty even hand between
those democrats who fayered his
nomination and those who oppos
it, and in that he is showing a
strength of character and breadth ,
of purpose that other and less in
fluential.democrats would do well
to emulate.
“It is true Mr. Cleveland knows
that those who opposed his nomi
nation were not moved by personal
motives, bnt by reasons of party
expediency. Being a good party
man himself he can thoroughly un
derstand why some of the best and
and truest men in the party should
have been averse to his nomina
tion. That bis mind was broad
enough to take in every phase of
the situation is shown by the tenor
of a letter he wrote to a corres
pondent id Chattanooga jnst be
fore the convention. In that letter
he expressed his own sincere doubts
as to the wisdom of his nomina
tion. He understood the situation
thoroughly.
“Nevertheless a smaller man—a
man less sure of himself—would
have lost no time in punishing the
temerity of" those'who thought that
his nomination meant the defeat of
the party; and in doing so he wonld
have weakened the organization.
Mr. Cleveland, on the other hand,
has striven to strengthen the par
ty, and he has succeeded. He has
shown that his own democracy is
impersonal and patriotic, and has
set an example that all the “origi
nal’’ Cleveland men wonld do well
to follow.”
Frank L. Stanton has resumed
his editorial affiliation with the
Atlanta Constitution. The readers
of that most excellent paper are
glad.
The Georgia exhibit at the world’s

The United States flag does not
now float over the public buildiugs
at Honolulu, and Hawaii is no
longer under direct protection of
the United States.. This condition
of afiairs is due to the official ac

cates what will be the final out

Paramount to all others, the tar
iff question stands to-day, as it did
last November. According to the

much as a proper' revision of the
tariff rates.

DESXABD DOTS.
SpacialCozrespondent.
Washington, D. C, April 17, ’93. ,
President Cleveland lias notified
a Senate committee that he will
send the last nominations upon
which be. wishes immediate action
to the Senate in a few days, and ad
journment is looked for this we^k,
unless things take a very unexpect
ed turn. It will not be possible to
reach a vote upon the cases of the
appointed Senators at this session.
No one, not even the republicans,
believes that Mr. Addy has any case
at all in his claim to be legally
elected to the seat held by Senator
Martin, of Kansas, but the commit
tee on Privileges and Elections re
ported a resolution ^authorizing an
investigation. It is not yet certain*
however, that it will be made.
The position of Assistant Treas
urer of the U. S., at New York,, is
one of the most important, from a
strictly commercial point of view,
under the government. He handles
more ,money than any man in the
country’ and has to give a bond of
$200,000, something that compara
tively few men can do! The nomina
tion of Mr. Conrad N. Jordan, of
New York, who teas the U. S Treas
urer during President Cleveland’s
first administration, to this position
gave general sotisfaction, both in
political and business circles.
The, investigation ofthe Weather
Bureau has so far been confined to
the charges against employes of
stealing from the bureau, which
have been more than proven by the
evidence. The next charge to be
taken up will be that of violating
the Civil Service law by employ
ing incompetent men at fancy sal
aries and promoting others for no
better reason than that they were
favorites of some high official or
his friends.
The opposition to the confirma
tion of Mr. Eckles to be Comptroll
er of Currency was evidently con
fined to republican newspapers. It
did not .materialize in the Senate,
as be was promptly confirmed last
week,’ as be would have been soon
er if somebody had net started a
silly story about his nomination
being the result of x a clerical error.
The nomination was not acted up
on at the first meeting of the Fi
nance committee held after it was
made because of that story, the
members of the committee thinking
it best to wait until the President
could be seen before reporting up
on it. The retiring repnblican
Comptroller thinks Mr. Cleveland
was wise in nominating a good law
yer to the position, as complicated
legal questionsare constantly turn
ing up for him to decide.
Secretary Morton smileg at the
criticism fired at him because he
abolished the sinecure held by the
late Mr. Blaine’s brother. “I found, 1
said the Secretary, that Mr. Blaine
was drawiug $2,000 a year for do
ing nothing, or at least nothing that
was of the slightest- value to the
Government, and he would have
bad to go all the same even if he
had been Mr. Cleveland’s brother.
That’s all there is to it.
Secretary Herbert is heels over
head in the making of preparations
for the big Nayal .Review to begin
in Hampton Roads this week. The
Secretary will, daring the review,
be quartered upon a U. S. vessel
in order that be may .enjoy seeing
the shine taken off theloreign war
ships. The President will not go to
Hampton Roads, but will meet the
vessels in New York, whither they
go after the programe in Hampton
Roads is completed, aijd it may be
that he will go direct, from New
York to Chicago, to open the
World’s Fair, before returning to
Washington, but he hasn’t finally:
decided about that. '
The dismissal of republican
chiefs of Divisions in the depart-
ments-are becoming qoite frequent,
and to hear some of them kick is
very amusing. Every man of them
thinks they onght to have been
kept in office. Fortunately the heads
of the departments differ with
them.
BY THE JUDGE.
“This way, Mr. Robinson.”
Jast before, daring and just af
ter court Inever know much.
If there is anything that the av
erage darkey enjoys more than a
’setting up,” or a funeral,'it is a
court scrape. •
April showers would be very ac
ceptable just now, as it will be

able to resume his duties.
• Prof. Ware, went up the road on
Friday, pretending to go to Macon,
bnt- as he .stayed so long,, it is
thought by some that he went to
Jones, or “all the way to Pike!”
Miss Cora Woodard, of Floyd
county, is visiting the family, of
Mr. J. W. Taylor, at Kathleen.
Miss Rena Hickman, of Colum
bus, Gai,-is visiting her aunt, Mrs.
Sylvester :Browg.
- Mrs. P. M. Pearce, of Overland,
Col., is visiting relatives here.
Over 1,000 pounds of fish have
been caught here since . February,
and still the demand cabnot be
supplied.
The grain crop is looking well,
but' will bo a failure unless there
is rain within a very few-days.
I still think the acreage planted
in cotton this year will be greater
than last. 1
If this seems to be a stylish let
ter, correspondents of the Journal
know how it is themselves.
