JefTrjs, who murdered
din in Brooks county last De-j
cember, was banged on last Fri
day, the ">tb. He virtually con¬
fessed the killing, and as all oth¬
er murderers state, be said lie'
ha \ made with God. It ’
peace
»s a fact that every murderer ex- *
ecuted always announces going
home to the glory land, and this
in the face of the scriptures
which gay “No murderer shall
enter the kingdom of Heaven.”
The JJ y. supreme court has
decided adversely ou the income
tax to the extent that the law is
null and void on real estate and
bonds. This favors the goldbugs
and bondholders—the very ones
the law was intended to reach.
When one department of the
government would equalize the
burdens of taxation, another
multiplies its action. So the poor
and those of moderate means
have to continue to support the
machinery of the government.

Mr. J. G. Franklin, a Ken¬
tuckian, who passed through

way to New Orleans, talked
about Breckinridge.
“Breckinridge is by no means
dead up in our section,’’said he.
i Le may never lie able to secure
an office for himself again, but
I would not bo surprised if he
were able to defeat Jon Black¬
burn for the senate. Ho will

votes, and I would not be at all
surprised if they were sufficient,
to knock Blackburn out., and
you knowjf your Uncle Willie
can do that he will be a mighty
happy man.—Constitution.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE,
As the present threatening at¬
titude of foreign nations towards
others has agitated the questiou
which has been asked, “ Wnat is
the Monroe doctrine ?” we state
that President Monroe in his
proclamation Dec. 2, 1823, an¬
nounced “the policy of neither
entangling ourselves in the
broils of Europe, nor suffering
the powers of the old world to
inteifere with the affairs of the
new. ’’ On this occasion the pres¬
ident declared that any attempt
ou the part of the European
powers to "extend their system
to any portion of this hem is
phere would be regarded by the
u > g < «S«»«l an g orou8tooljr p eace
aud safety,” and would accord
ingly be opposed,
The Monroe doctrine does not
prevent the U. 18 . goveinnient
from resenting an insult from
Spain or any other country.
A LITERARY FRAUD.
This is the title of a pamphlet
which is now' on our table. The
writer, T. K. Oglesby, of Atlan¬
ta, handles the Encyclopedia Bri
tannica, published by Werner
& Co., with gloves off. If the
L.cts stated be true, Mr. Oglesby
is none too severe. The idea that
publishers should perpetrate out
rageous falsehoods upon South¬
ern people, aud theu have the
brazen effrontery to offer the
books to the South is almost
staggering to the refined feelings
of true Southern manhood. It
is almost unbearable to know
that a publisher would under¬
take, under the guise of impar¬
tiality, to impress the youth of
our cherished Southland that
they are the offspring of rebels
ami traitors, lacking in civiliza¬
tion and morals .No gold of North
era publishers can hire ustocir
cnlate a book that defames the
?»“">. unless,perhaps it is done
under a guise which deceives us
j n t 0 a complication from which
we wou [(i extricate ourself so

CHINA AND JAPAN.
George Frederick Seward,
nephew of W. H. Seward, has
this to say, in the Cosmopolitan,
of China and Japan “v hina
working out her destiny, estab¬
lished a form of government two
thousand years ago. That form
of government has given bene¬
ficial results. If if had not it
would have been swept from the
face of the earth.... It is an au¬
tocratic form as beiits its Asiat
icorigin..... Japan, under stress
of the revolution and the inflow
of foreign ideas has made a new
government. It is not Asiatic,
but European. It is an alien sys¬
tem.” The writer who is posted
in matters of this kind—having
oeen ten years consul general at
Shanghai, and afterwards min -
ister plenipotentiary at Peking,
goes on : “It is not given to us
to penetrate the future, and to
tell whit may he unfolded as
years go by. We may very well
ask ourselves, however, wheth¬
er it is true at last the great em¬
pire is to go down, and on the
other hand whether it is true
that an alien system has sprung
into life in Japan which is to be
permanent Seward thinks
Mr. that to
adopt in either of these great
countries political methods
which do not conform with the
genius of Asiatic, people, as il
lustivt >d in all their history, are
likely to result in failure. Jap¬
an is restless; China steady.
Japan is influenced by parlia¬
mentary institutions; China
moves with more respect to the
old ways.
The article tilings out many
points of interest just at this
time when China and Japan are
engaged in war.
