Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, governor of
Iowa, has been appointed secretary
of the U. S. treasury to sucoeed
Hon. Lyman J. Gage, resigned. The
transfer will be made about the 16th
of this month.
Maolay, tho historian whose slan
der of Admiral Schley .was the cause

bseu peremptorily discharged from
a olerkship in the Brooklyn navy
yard by direction of President
Roosevelt.

Roosevelt seems to be satisfied
that it is a presidential perquisite
to practice personal politics |when
making government appointments.
One good turn deserves a return fa
vor,may operate nicely asja reminder
iu. the next national campaign.
Every prominent country in the
world except Australia was repre
sented in the Zionist congress that
opened at Basle, Switzerland, last
Thursday. The congress embraces
1,000 delegates; the purpose ^sought
to be promoted is the acquisition
and national control of Jerusalem
by Jews.
It is reported from Washington
that all the disagreements between
England and the United States, ter
ritorial and otherwise, are likely to
be satisfactorily arranged. Lord
Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
is quoted as being quite anxious to
settle all the disputed questions be
fore he returns to London.
Reports say that the Pan-Ameri
can congress at Mexico City utterly
failed in its purpose of creating a
closer commercial relationship be
tween the American republics. It
was also hoped that a. means would
be adopted whereby territorial and
other disagreements between gov
ernments might be amicably settled.
Nothing tangible was accomplished.
There have been complaints against
ofltee-liolders, from lb 0 lowest county
official to the highest in the nation.
People can be fooled in their esti
mate of a man, but when an incom
petent or bad'man has been elected
once, that surely should be enough,
and the fault will be with the peo
ple if they repeat the transaction.
This year will be thick with politics,
county, state and federal. If the
people will observe a correct meas
ure of merit; the best men will be
chosen. If ; personal -favoritism or
other improper motives prevail to
thd selection of unworthy men, the
faffit will be mainly with , the people.
Thirty-One Years.
Since the Home Journal was es
tablished thirty-one years have pass
ed.
In 1870 Mr. John T. Waterman
established the paper in Perry, and
for less than three years he was the
editor and publisher. Then Mr. Ed
win Martin was at the helm, and
during the time that these gentle
men controlled the patrons of the
paper were well and ably served.
Mr. Jno. H. Hodges succeeded Mr.
Martin.
Lacking three months and seven
teen days, the Home Journal has
been under the present management
twenty-two years. Whatever of ser
vice that has been performed, the
people will have to render the ver
dict. The editor only will say that
according to his honest judgment
he does not to-day owe any man an
apology. However, he knows that
much of the service has been far be
low the correct standard, but no
person has been purposely injured,
nor has any duty been shirked
through deliberate intention. No
person has been the victim of Home
Journal malice, and our bank ac
count has never equaled the amount
of our financial obligations. The ed
itor haB never asked for any special
privileges, and has over been as
courteous and charitable as his en
vironments would permit.
We are growing old in the ser
vice,Jand the years passed are within
Omnipotent keeping. Of the year
just beginning we can only Bay,
we’ll try to be jnst, and give full
value for every penny and every fa
vor received.
We have no specific promises to
make.
May 1902 be* to every reader full
of good— may all treat the year
right.

How Shall We Use It?
The second year of the twentieth
century is here, and, regardless of
our desires or inclinations, every in
dividual Nvill help make its record of
character.
On the first day thousands of men
and women, young and old, gave
thought and voice to good resolu
tions, determining that through no
error or intention of theirs should
there be a blot upon the pages of
1902. That’s all right, and the
Home Journal endorses and adopts
the following, roproducecl from the
Milledgeville Union-Recorder:
“May health and happiness, peace
and plenty be and abide with you;
may good digestion and sound sleep
bless your days and nights, and may
you rejoice in muscular strength and
physical well-being; may your hearts
be glad with tho noble impulses of
love and friendship, and may your
minds expand with kind thoughts
for the good of humanity, and your
social relations be a “trust” for the
betterment of man; may you look on
the, bright side of Earth and keep in
the middle of the road to ‘Heaven;
finally, whatever betides, may you
be sustained by an unswerving trust
iu the mercy of a Risen Savior and
givo an unfaltering allegiance to the
Prince of Peace.”

A New Writer ofthe‘‘Hoosier School.”
With General Lew Wallace and
James Whitcomb Riley as its deans,
the “Hoosier School” of poets and
authors is assuming a prominent
place in the field of American let
ters. The late Maurice Thompson
and Charles Major and Booth Tark-
ington have each contributed and
are still adding to its fame, and now
a comparatively new name is written
beside these: Frederick M. Smith.
Mr. Smith is a native of Indiana,
who confesses that he has “been try
ing to learn to write for ten years,”
and also that the reason his writings
haven’t appeared oftener is not so
mnch his fault as die editors’l One
of his first stories,to attract general
attention was “The Blue Gown That
wouldn’t Fit,” which came out in
the Ladies’ Home Journal last Aug
ust. Since then he has contributed
a short romance called “Christine”
to the same magazine, and an inter
esting note about this tale is that it
is not wholly a “child of invention.”
The material for it was gathered in
Germany, where the writer finished
his education.
During last year the banks of At
lanta handled more money, checks
and certificates than ever before
within one year. , The total in value
aggregated about $111,000,000, ex
ceeding the operations of 1900 by
about $16,000,000.
It will' be well for Georgia if all
the candidates, county, district and
state, come up to the measure of
merit as do those who have signi
fied their desire to be governor of
the state. Of course each of these
gentlemen has partisan friends, and
some of them may have enemies, but
all are able and worthy men, and the
election of neither of them tvould
discredit the judgment of the peo
ple. It is expected that the cam
paign will be spirited and spicy, but
there cannot be any correct occasion
for abuse or discourtesy.

Senor Tomas Estrada Palma was
doubtless elected President of Cuba
Tuesday, December 31st, 1901. Some
ten days ago Gen. Maso declared
that he had discovered evidence
that fraud would be practiced in
behalf of Palma, and the Maso tick
et was withdrawn under protest.
This election will go far towards
proving whether or not the Cubans
are capable of self-government.
„ • —
The legislative joint resolution
providing for the interest of the
state debt of Georgia to be paid out
of the public property fund is now
before the Supreme court on the
question of constitutionality. The
state constitution declares that this
fund can be used only to pay the
public debt. The Supreme court
will probably render a decision this
week.
Gen. Uhaffee and the Commis
sioner Taft make contradictory re
ports concerning the condition of
affairs in the Philippine Islands.
The general’s conception of the pres
ent and his expectations for the fu
ture make a decidedly gloomy pic
ture, while the commissioner's re
port is as roseate as a midsummer
dream. The situation is profitable
and promotive of power to the com
missioner, and may not be so to the
general.
A Deep Mystery.
It is a mystery why women en
dure backache, headache, nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, faint
ing and dizzy spells when thousands
have proved that Electric Bitters will
quickly cure such troubles, “I suf
fered for years with kidney trouble,”
writes Mrs. Phebe Cherley, of Peter
son, la., “and a lame back pained me
bo I could not dress myself, but Elec
tric Bitters wholly cured me, and, al
though 73 years old, I am now able
to do all my housework.” It over
comes constipation, improves appe
tite, gives perfect health. Only 50c

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
“Something New Under
ihe Sun.”
All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh
by the use ot powders, acid gases, inhal
ers and drugs in paste form. Their pow
ders dry up the mucous membranes,
causing them to crack opeu and bleed.
The powerful acids used- in the iuhalerB
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while the pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expe
rienced practitioner who has for many
years made a close study and specialty
of the treatment of Catarrh, has at last
perfected .^treatment which, when faith
fully used, not only relieves once, but
permanently cures Catarrh, by remov
ing the cause, stopping the discharges
and curing all inflammatiou. It is the

tually reaches the afflicted parts. This

tarrh Cure ever made and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. It cures all inflammation.quick

fully quick to relieve Hay Fever or
Cold in the Head.
