EDITORIAL OPINIONS.
J’lie discussion as to Speaker
Crisp’s position on the financial
question ib now at an end. He
has declared for the free and un¬
limited coinage of silver in lan¬
guage that cannot be misunder¬
stood.
The editor of the Christian Ad
vocate gives some good advice
to preachers warning them not
to jireach for newspaper noto¬
riety It emasculates and com¬
.
pletely unfits them for the work
of a true minister of the gospel.
The Dalton Argus says : “In
what countries are wages the
lowest ? Why, in Mexico, Chi
na and Japan ! What standard
in those countries . . „
obtains ooiams r
Why, the silver standard!
Therefore, the silver standard
means low wages.”
Editor Glessner of the Griffin
News in his article, “How an Ed¬
itorial Insurrection Was Quell¬
ed,” gives Editor Blackburn a
severe rasping and timely re¬
Puke for his attack upon the
Governor on account of the con¬
dition of the capitol. Gov. At¬
kinson will keep both Ins record
and the capitol clean during his
administration.
The currency question still
agitates the minds of editors.
The big, medium sized and little
editors all have to ventilate
themselves upon this all absorb¬
ing topic. The white and yel¬
low horses are trotted out in re¬
view' for the amusement and
entertainment of the dear peo¬
ple, whose votes the politicians
want next year.
Covington Enterprise: “A
wise man, who lives on the oth¬
er side of the river says : ‘When
ever you hear a fellow finding
fault with a local paper, open it
up, and tell to one he hasn’t an
advertisement in it ; five to oue
he never gives it a job to do;
three to oue that he does not
take the paper ; two to one that
if he is a subscriber, he is a de
linquent; even odds that he nev¬
er does anything in anyway that
avill assist the publisher to run a
good paper. ) l»
The income tax is now decid
ed unconstitutional. This puts
an end to the matter, but it
opens a question which might
be of interest to the cotton plant
ers of the South. If unconstitu
tioual now it certainly
when the government robbed
this country of millions by levy
ing an income tax upon all the
cotton in the country. This cot
ton tax was gathered for two or
three years at from two to
cents per pound. The lamented
ex- Gov. H. V. Johnson contend
ed from the first that the tax
unconstitutional, . . aud
was he.
made efforts to recover it for the
of Georgia. _ . However,
people
liis labors were in vain, notwith
standing the outrage upon the
people.

rrn The „ Rome Hustlers Sunday
'bsus was au immense paper,
covering 24 pages, well filled
with choice reading matter and
advertisements. The business
men of Rome know how to pa¬
tronize a paper. A successful,
interesting local paper is always
the index of a prosperous town
or city. By the way, the me
chanical part of th_. work on this
mammoth issue of the Hustler
was done almost entirely by
>’ oun £ ^dies.
“A Union veteran and a Con
federate veteran are to run ‘a
foot lace ‘for the championship
°f die lehellion. Our money is
on the uniou veteran.”—Macon
Evening News.
“ Well, that bet is a sure win¬
ner. The union veteran leceived
his first training at Manassas,
while his whole experience dur¬
ing the war gave him fine exer¬
cise in real sprinting. But the
Confederate veteran never bank
ed much on his celerity in get¬
ting away ! Yes, we think the
Union veteran will win the race.

Secretary Walter Q.
died in his room at the
ton hotel in Washington at 1.13
a. in. Tuesday, the 28th.
was taken sick on the 1st of
May, and gradually grew worse
until the end came. In his pub¬
lic career he was a faithful of¬
ficer ; in his private relations he
was an exemplary and pleasant
man. He was conscious to the
last, and exhibited ia his dying
moments that sweetness of the
domestic ties which had bound
the family in warmest attach¬
ment for each other so many
years, he said to his daughter,
“Don’t worry about me, but at
teud the wants of your mother.”
The sad news of the death of
Dr. J. T. Smith, of Monticello,
on Saturday last reaches us
through the Macon Telegraph.
Dr. Smith was a young man
of culture and high attainments
in his profession ; esteemed by
many friends and loved by his
family. He v 'as cut off in the
prime of life and the vigor of
young manhood. Many tears
are shed in sympathy for the
bereaved wife and helpless in
faut, and for the parents who
sorrow only as parents cam The
philosophy of religion teaches
comfort in submission to the Di¬
vine One, who admonishes his
children in distress, “Let not
your hearts be troubled, etc.”
The following w-as published
in the Clarksville advertiser as
a communication from Atlanta :
The old Confederates must wait till
the legislature meets for their pensions
The appropriation of $30,000 m de by
the last general assembly is inadequate
to pay them. This is to be greatly re¬
gretted, as many of them are greally iD
need, paupers, old and in ill health.
When the legislature assemblei it
should provide fora pension of $8 per
month, in.-tead of $0, as protided by the
bill enae'ed at the last session of the leg
islature. Our soldiers richly deserve
being eared for in their old age and in¬
firm health. They fought for the South
ern cause, and it is the bound duty ol
(he legislature to provide for them.
Legislators ought to remember that
they risked their lives, suffered, hun¬
gered and denied themselves all the
comforts of life for four years, and it is
but justi e that they be provided for.
It would be ingratitude, even treachery
to them to ignore them in their poverty.
