Editorial Mang’r. Entered at Atlanta P. O. as second-class matter. 15am Jones and Bam Small are at the Loveland (Ohio) camp meeting to-day. The Enquirer-Sun says lhat crops in that section are finer than for ten years past. < The prospects for a prosperous exposi tion at Cincinnati this fall are very bright. Exhibitors are coming in with applica tions thick and fast. As long as pure butter, one of the most delicious of products, can be purchased there is no necessity for the fatty prepared compound, oleomargarine. Rome is succeeding well in getting sub scriptions to the new base ball associa tion proposed for the city. We hope they ■will succeed, as there is no more innocent or enjoyable recreation than to witness a game of base ball. The anarchists’ trials have developed the fact that detectives claim that they had joined the anarchists some six months previous to the outburst. Our opinion is that if the detectives knew that the anarchists were going to have an up , rising, and they did not report it to the police and have the affair nipped in the bud, that they, the detectives, were worse than the anarchists, and even by their silence assisted in the loss of life. TRnim TO CLIMB THE FENCE. The Augusta News says “from recent editorials one would infer that The At lanta Evening Capitol is trying to climb over the fence onto the wet side.’.’ Now we did credit the sprightly News with more judgment than that. We could not blame hot-headed prohibi tionists in the city if they had complained at every kindness that The Capitol in the interest of justice had shown the liquor snen, but for the cool, level-headed editor of the News to engage in such twaddle ap pears ridiculous to us. We can also understand how that the local correspondents of other city papers would warp their opinion to suit their jealousy on account of The Capitol’s un precedented success and with the hopes of hurting The Capitol in the eyes of all good citizens who admire consistency even in an enemy, they’ harp away on the idea of its trying to get on the wet side just because it says something in the in terest of justice and fairness for the liquor men. But we say again that we cannot under stand how an editor in a distant city, where there is no excitement, no bitter ness, and who is a pronounced friend of the paper, can say that The Capitol is trying to get on the wet side just because we advocate justice and fairness to liquor men. No, The Capitol’s course is consistent. It has not said aught in favor of anti prohibition, because that question is now on trial before the public and they can form their own opinions as to its desira bility. What This Capitol has done and what it will ever do fearlessly and openly has been to descry this wholesale persecution (as it looked to us) of good citizens of the city, when they had unconsciously broken the law, if they did really break it at all, of which there is much doubt, some two weeks before the cases were made. Furthermore The Capitol is proud of Hie position it took entirely unaided, for no other city paper has uttered a word about the matter editorially, and because we are always proud when we are coura geous enough to speak for the right re gardless of the consequences. All good people in the city of Atlanta agree with us. Prohibitionists are waging war against liquor and not against the private citizens of the city, and many of the most ardent of them, including several promi nent clergymen, deplore the recent use less prosecutions of the quart license men as done recently before the recorder. •lust keep up your talk, gentlemen, if it will do you any good. Don't let us deter you, but don’t get it into your brains that the people of Atlanta, and the red-hot prohibitionists at that, don't sustain The Capitol in its late position, which has nothing to do with anti-ism or prohi-ism, for they do and do it liberally. Bi-LLBOZINU. A esterday a gentleman informed us that one of the inspectors said he would make a trip to the Capitol office and de mand that our defense of persecuted, hon est Denicke be stopped, or he would use np the inmates generally. All right, gentlemen, suppose we all go back on him; jump on him now that he is down and crowd him out of sight anyhow. Then, again, supjose we don’t, and the Capitol will be one of those who don’t. We have no fear of any man or men who would persecute a man like him. If Denicke had the means to get tue necessary information from Washing-on he would open the eyes of Georgians and Floridians. In this connection we will simply re mark that there is a rule of the United States service which forbids a man run ning any other business and still draw pay from the government. But keep your temper, gentlemen, and don’t show by undue anger that the Capi tol has hit too near the truth. Fighting out a whole newspaper office will not right a wrong or an unjust perse cution. THE OLD U. C. IFcOLOHN. There was lost in 1861 in a battle at Laurel Hill, Va., the old standard of the Gate City Guard. It was captured by western troops, and there is a strong desire on the part of the command here to regain their old colors. It is hoped that if anyone knows the whereabouts of these colors they will no tify the Gate City Guard of the fact. Papers extending this request will con fer a great favor upon the soldiery of At lanta. The Southern passenger committee will meet next Wednesday in Old Point Com fort, Va. Among other important work they will change the name of the organi zation to Southern passenger association. The Brunswick Breeze is growing senti mental. It offered a prize for the best couplet for its paper, and now- it offers ten dollars to the young man who furnishes it with the most locals during the next month. What next? The Rome Bulletin is agitating the in adequate water supply of Rome. It says that in August and September there is not enough to fight heavy fires effectively. The Bulletin suggests some new plans, but urges immediate attention. Fire is as bad as a freshet or worse. CAPITOLCRAYONS. Tin ice dealer now has his day. Blackberry peddlers are a nuisance. The ice cream cake has lost its popularity. Some of the wells in the city are going dry. Coal dealers are figuring on winter prices. The officials at the State House are a clever set of gentlemen. Men who don’t use stimulants can stand the warm weather the best. The most of the improvements now going on are in the suburbs of the city. Look out for mad dogs. Anything is liable to get mad such weather as this. Smart Alecks speak knowingly of “ blind ti gers,” but show us one in Atlanta. Everybody and' everybody’s children now visit Grant Park in the afternoons. Coi’NciLMAN Angier, has a clear head for business and sticks to what he thinks is right. Little children are beginning to play with the artesian hydrants and the water is wasted. Tue candidates in the local election at Bir mingham, Ala., are calling each other liars quite promiscuously and 1 carelessly. The new State capitol is assuming the pro portions of handsome building, and is attract ing the attention of visitors to the city. There has been a sudden rise in the price of lemons, but this will have no effect on the pink water dished out at Sunday-school picnics. Tue general employes of the E. T., V. and Ga. railroad, go by the name of “Streaked,” so it is said, and are known by that name in rail road circles. Odd gas pipes leaking have caused many shade trees in the city to die. One citiien threatens to bring a damage suit against the Atlanta gas company. Mobile, Ala., is trying to scare up another boom ou the deepening and widening of her channel. She has been waiting many years for her “ ship to come in.” There is no such place in or around, or near Atlanta as “Tight Squeeze.” The excellent citizens who’live in the section of the city once knowu by that name, are “North Atlantians.” There ought to be an ordinance prohibiting a person from carrying anything on the sidewalks longer than three or four feet. A man walking up any principal street with a sixteen-foot lad der on his shoulder is liable to hurt somebody. Tas Capitol rejoices modestly when it ob serves the dailies of the State copying its plan of short paragraphs in editorial and local writing. Short pithy paragraphs are far more interesting than the long half-column para graphs that have been in vogue in the State *o Gog- < Our Small Indnetries. Messrs. Boyd A Baxter, the furniture dealers on Marietta street, have just issued a neat cat alogue of their various styles of goods manu factured. It shows a large assortment and re flects great credit on the house. This is one of the prided industries of Atalnta of which, if the city bad a score, they would be of untold benefit to the city. The firm of Boyd A Baxter use only machin ery of the latest and most improved patterns; their workmen are skilled and practical me chanics, and cabinetmakers are superintended by a thorough and experienced furniture manu facturer. Their materials are the best that can be bought. Their finishing room is in charge of a well known, experienced furniture finisher from the North, and they guarantee that their goods will equal if not excel any in the market for fine and elegant finish and latest styles. They hare lately largely increased the capi tal of business and added an entire line of new improved machinery, and now elaim that their facilities for manufacturing are unsur passed. We csll attention to these facts, not for the purpose of advertising these gentlemen, for Tns Capitol never writes editorially for pay, THB EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA. GA. SATURDAY. JULY 3'. 1880 but we do it that the public may know that such goods are being manufactured here now, and that they may give to the establishment the fullest measure of patronage. Keep all your money possible in circulation here in the Bou*b. The Boston Globe says as regards a man who was acquitted of crime in shavinga man on Sun day: "Judge Barker, in his charge to the jury, held that “shaving, hair cutting and shampooing are works of necessity and charity for which men would not be indictable if they did it them selves, and for which a barber is not indictable if he does it for them in a suitable and ordinary way.” This was a test case. The Working World says : “If there ever was a time in Atlanta’s history when judicious, dis creet men should exert themselves, that time is now. Conservative, earnest men, who are in terested in Atlanta’s future must come to the front. We cannot afford to hand this city with all its interests over to the rabble, neither are her interests safe in the hands of itinerant fa natics. The Working World says, editorially: “For indiscreet action, arbitrary and dogmatic ruling by judges, (ecclesiastical or judicial) we will match an Atlanta bishop and recorder against all comers. Gentlemen should ever be govern ed by a very keen aense of propriety and never sit in judgment in cases where there is even the shadow of suspicion or prejudice for or against the accused. While we are in favor of enforc ing laws in every particular we think the ad ministrators of.law are subjects of the laws of propriety.” Two Letters. “My datUng wife,” (he writes), “come home; I cannot do without you; Throughout these gloomy rooms 1 roam; My thoughts are all about you. “But If you think it best to stay, Why, do so —perhaps you’d better. Don’t think at all of me, I pray”— And thus winds up the letter. Quickly a smile goes o’er lil& face, As in the ink again he dips. “Dear John” (he writes), “you know the place, And don’t forget to bring the chips.” —Tom Masoa. EDITORIAL SCISSORINGS. GAINESVILLE EAGLE. The New Orleans States has a word which it thinks should accompany the word “boodle” in the dictionary which President Porter, of Yale, is now editing. It is “joobahaw.” A “joobahaw,” it ex plains, is a man who shoots off his mouth tor no other reason than that he has a mouth to shoot. Every town, however insignificant, has one or more, and if the reader will but think a moment, he will call to mind a local “joobahaw.” ELAM CHRISTIAN. The whiskey men in Atlanta are having a hard time convincing the world that prohibition don’t prohibit in that goodly city. Several of them have paid the city SSOO for positive information on this im portant subject. SIDNEY LEWIS. The Atlanta correspondent of the Macon Telegraph seems to think that patriotism begins and ends with opposition to prohi bition. Brother Niles ought not to be so alcoholically rampant. Governor McDaniel’s last term is ap proaching its close. lie has made a good, conservative, clean-handed executive. So far as the Ishmaelite knows or believes, there is not a spot or wrinkle on his offi cial record. He has shown himself a true man in the proudest acceptation of the term, and will retire from office, as he entered it, without fear and above re proach. ■ HERE AND THERE. Focal Thought* About the City. “ Tub Capitol's little but she’s loud.” Such was the forcible if not elegant tribute I heard paid our sprightly little sheet,one day last week. The sentiment was uttered on the evening of the issue that contained a notice to the effect that cases would be made against parties allowing grass to grow on their sidewalks. If there was in my mind any doubt on this subject, it was dispelled the next morning on my wav to the office. On turning a corner 1 saw a darkey, hoe in band, in front of the residence of a prominent citizen, chopping down grass and weeds as if bis life depended upon the rapididy of his movements. He had a quick by-the-job lick, and none of your poky, by-the-day jerks. Mr. Prominent Citizen, thinks I, Jreads The Capitol. A little further down on the same street was a good lady wearing a sun-bonnet toward off the mornin g'sun, as she directed her two boys in chopping down the offending grass. I turn another and almost run into the portly form of a middle aged man in a stooping pos ture, the sweat rolling down his face as he Culled the green blades from between the ricks, where they had become rooted. A little further down was a colored citizen with a hoe hard at work, in front of his two-room cabin. And so it went all the way from Jackson street to Pryor, where I saw no less than a dozen per sons diligently at work to escape the clutches of the law. I therefore emphatically empha sized the sentence, “The Capitol’s little but she’s loud.” The new drive from Peachtree to Ponce de Leon, down Ponce de Leon circle, will soon be completed. With the completion of this new road will doubtless be destroyed one of the few remaining landmarks of the stirring days of ’62. The object of which I write is an old pine tree standing on the right hand side of the street car bridge on Ponce de Leon avenue. The top of the old tree has been carried away by a cannon ball: up the trunk on the western side can be seen strips of wood nailed about two feet apart to a height of about twenty feet from the ground. The old pine seemed a sacred ob ject to me, in the happy days of boyhood, when with my companions we would stop under its shadow and examine the strips of wood nailed through the bark into the tree. “I’ll bet tbere’a many a poor soldier been knocked out of the top like a bird,” and other like sentences were uttered by our boyish lips as we looked upon this old Confederate hero, for we had learned that the old tree had been used by the Confed erates as a point of observations. If this was a sharpshooter’s tree, and that is what I have been told by old soldiers, let it be preserved by all means as one of the many objects of interest around our city. Atlanta is regarded by her own people and the outside world, as one of the healthiest cities in the Union. That she retains this reputation is a wonder. There are no less than six good sized creexs, or branches, as they are called, running through some of the thickest settled portions of the city. These branches are uncov ered, and the odors that they distill, is not cal culated to arrest the passer by with their de lightful aroma. Some of them, especially one of the most highly odoriferous, the gas house branch, hare had sewers built over them. At lanta is increasing day by day, and if these sou smelling streams are not confined, will they not bring on some epidemic? Take, for instance, the one that starts near the old Longley A Robinson planing mill. It is covered a short distance, say to Foster street. From there it mosses uncovered, Wheat, Houston, Cain, Har- i ris, Baker, Forrest Avenue, and Pine streets. Should it cause an epidemic how wide spread would it be? So it is with all the others. If these branches were covered, the small and. worthless cabins along their banks would also be done awav with, better houses would be built and the value of the property would be increas ed a hundred fold. This surely is a matter 1 worthy of attention. J acksox Hill.
