Uncle Remus's Mugazlue, judged by an advance copy, fulfills the best ex pectations of Its thousands of admir ing well wishers and friend**. From Its rich and attractive outer psge with the historic rabbit skilfully worked In the Initials of Joel Chandler Harris, through a long list of brilliant and carefully selected contents and beautifully set advertisements, Uncle Remus will be voted an Immediate aud gratifying success. Those who expect to be patrons of this popular magailne should not fall to read the flrst page which seta forth the principles and scope of the tuaga- slne. Mr. “Billy Sanders, of Shady Dale." occupies a position of honor In two whole columns of exquisite humor and common sense combined, and the Ed I- tor-ln-Chlef makes his salutatory under the thoroughly human and altruistic headlines "On Knowing Your 'Neigh bors." In this Initial editorial perhapa there Is the best possible key-note to the spirit and view of the rnaga- sins, for It Is large, liberal and hu man, rich In tender phlloeophy, bright In Ita optimism and charming In Ita charity which we are assured la to pulse the pages of our new liter ary light In the South. Mr. Harria has a new atory called "The Blahop and the Uooger Man," which la up to the high atandard of the author, and a new Uncle Remua Story on “(low Brer Rabbit Saved Brer Bar'a Life." Don Marquis, always thoughtful ami scholarly, oceuplee tba position of hon or In tha flrst Issue next to Joel Chand ler Harria blmaelf, and bla two artl- cles -on "The Wild Hards of Blll- vllle," and "A Glance In Passing," vin dicate tba line critical and literary taita and judgment which he haa es tablished In dally Journallam. Mrs. Thsddeus Horton has an Inter esting article describing the letters of Henry Clay to Mmc. Le Vert. Mr. M. A. Lane, of (he Microscopical Society, discusses ‘-five Men Who Made Epochs.' Harold Boyce has an Interesting page on "World Movements aa Viewed from the Metropolis.'* Paul Ttetjens discusses America's moat remarkable theatrical season, and Mrs. Lundy H. Harris and Miss Annie McFarland hava a delightful aeries of book reviews, while Mrs Mary E- Bryan conducts the Open House. Among the notable ’flcUcm ot this brilliant opening number besides Mr. Harris' atorlts, la one which Mr. Har ris declares to be the beat short atory ha blmaelf baa read In the decade, "The Schooner Mary EL Foster,'' and I* by John Fleming Wilson, a Western author, who Is just rising Into lame. Maarten Maartens baa a tragical farce colled ‘The Divine, the Avenger," Il lustrated by R. F. James. CbarloA Fredrick Holder.has a Story on “The Maddening of Smith," and Owen Kll dare tells a bright tale under tho headlines of "The Point of View.” The merit of the opening number fully satisfies the people of the South and of tho country that Uncle Remns is to "be in every respect a magaxlae of,the .first class. Neither sectional nor narrdw, neither provincial nor prejudiced, out a large American peri odical published In the South with tha Southern pulse flowing In national car- rents, and with a purse large enough to command contributions from the best writers of the North ai well as of the South. Typographically the magaxlne, print ed as It Is In Atlanta, will be a glory to the art of the printer and to the presa which brings It forth, and Its en tire makeup stamps it from the begin ning as a winner which richly deserves to win. We do not know a happier and more fortunate crew than that which mans the life voyage of Uncle Remus. Everybody wishes them well. -Nobody has either Jealousy or III will toward the magazine or any man on Ita staff. Ita only danger la In tho warning of the Scriptures: “Woe unto you when all men apeak well of you,” for Uncle Remua starts in life amidst tho uni versal good drill of the whole people of the South and of the country. It Is a magazine without friction, without foes and with thousands ot earnest and sympathetic friends. With all Its heart The Georgian wishes It bon voyage over prosperous seas with fair breezes and with well filled sails to happiness and success. THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT OP SCHOOLS. Prof. W. M. Slaton haa Just cause to congratulate himself upon his selection aa superintendent of the Atlanta system of public schools, Pfofessor Slaton haq been for a quarter of a century tho diligent and effective principal of ttie Boys' High school In this capital city of the state, and under his guidance and administration there have gono out Into the universities and 'subsequently Into the active world a troop of young men whose talents and energies are now a part of the vital ilfo and progress of the Empire State. , It has been for many years the laudable ambition of Professor Slaton to succeed bts distinguished father when that eminent educator felt called ‘upon to lly down the administration of the superintendence. f This ambition within the legitimate lines of a profession to which he haa been copslatently loyal, is now fulfilled. In the caucus action of the board of education. And the frlebds of Professor Slaton In extending to him their heartiest congratulations upon his achieved ambition will also accompany It with their heartiest good wishes for a wise, prudent tactful, unselfish and lofty administration of the most responsible public function which Atlanta has to bestow upon a citizen. Tho system of education In this county and trf some extent In this section of the state revolves around the superintendent of the Atlanta Public Schools. He has It In his power to promoto harmony, to establish Justice, to develop efficiency, and to cre ate a fine active co-operatlvo spirit of fellowship and helpfulness among 'the teachers of the chief city.iof the South. Professor Slaton Is a gentleman by birth and by training, a scholar by attainment and a teacher by long yeara of patient and Industrious service. We sincerely trust that In this new and responsible position he will meet In full the expectations of his friends and demonstrate by a series of tactful, lofty and magnanimous years of service the wisdom of those who have fulfilled his life ambition and placed blm In this lofty station of responsibility and trust. We congratulate the new superintendent of the Atlanta public schools and Invoke for him the co-operation of the people In all the high ends ot service which he may plan. THE CITY OFFICES AND THE PEOPLE. Council meets this (Monday) afternoon Iqpa session which will In clude the discussion of the mayor's suggestion to taka tho election of the city engineer and the commissioner of publle works from the people and commit It to the power of tho city legislature. Very powerful opposition has been developed to this suggestion which should, and doubtless will, have Its due weight with the decision of the city council. The Georgian voiced the flrst protest with an editorial last week which was followed by a similar protest from The Journal ot Labor, and subsequently several organized bodies have expressed their disapproval of the plan. Our own opposition was hosed upon the vlow that the people had none too much of power committed to them at the present time In the choice of their public servants, and that It was neither politic nor oppor tune to take away from them any of the privileges which they enjoyed. Further than that, we believe that the occasional scraps between the officials, which was the basis of the mayor's suggestion, are wholesome rather than objectionable In that they keep tho public Informed as to the condition of the departments whose occupant* keep a close watch upon each other. We sincerely trust that the city council wilt recognise the force - of these objections and the expressed will of so many ot the people, and that It will announce Itself In favor of continuing In the people the elec tive power which they now enjoy. IS THIS TOTALtlEPRAVITY? Nothing has ever pained Tho Oeorgtan more than the spirit with which certain members of tbu.cult of parggraphera have met our Juat and natu ral query as to the ultimate fate of that clan. In tho main, Tho Houston Post has shown an utter and Incompre hensible abandon as to any fato that might overtake It for paragraphic sins. Tho Washington Herald gives us especial distress over Its position. Not many months ago that able exponent of tabloid comment departed Georgia for the national capital. Ills descent Into the abyss ot total depravity baa been all but ap palling, when ono considers Ills years of pious conduct In the state ot his nativity. Pampered on Trenton flavored shad—The Houston Post as serts that It can furnish affidavits that It Is really Mullaney herring— Paragrapher Nevln hides behind tho flimsiest quibbles In an effort-to hol ster up a forlorn cause. , Ills latest pltlfnl effort to make out a tenable ground of hope for after ’ beatitude la hinged upon a half-column treatise on the pronunciation ot ' hla professional name. What differ* It whether It la pronounced "para grapher" or "pa-rag-rapher?" Tho real Issue ts as to what the final de cree will be aa to the hereafter of the “para-grapher" or the "pa-rag- rapber." No snch' aide issue can move us from the steady and Inexorable demand to know—"What will be the fate of the paragrapher hereafter?" At first blush The Houston Post man evidenced a blithe Indifference to the whole subject of hts future state. Almost he waxed profane in hla comments on the subject—the profanity of utter abaudon. But a change is coming over the spirit of his comment. Even a diet of year-round strawberries, rabbit-fattened baas and such delicacies has jiot made him without a remnant of conscience, however submerged It may be. Liaten to this we* cry of an awakened better nature: "The Atlanta Georgian declare* that it la easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a paragrapher to go t6 heaven.' The Bible declares that It la easier for a camel to go through the eye of* needle than for a rich man to enter the king dom of heaven. We are broke and standing pat on the Bible theory.” The Georgian feels that It haa performed a great service to the coun try in arousing the cult of paragrapher* to some -tens* of responsibility. In beginning this discussion we were not unmindful of the fate of the great editor of The Louisville Courier-Journal some yeara agb, when the paragrapher* ot the country drove him crushed and beaten from the field. That knowledge did not deter ua from a strict line of duty. Finally, The Georgian opened up Its butteries on the more lumlnou* light* of the paragraphic school, but It*Is pleasant to know that tome of the lesser lights have evidenced a stirring conscience. The Rome Trib une Is among this number, but until we have settled the Issue with the more abandoned members, we cannot afford to discuss it with others. Af ter all, the paragrapher of The Tribune does not yet belong to the totally abandoned lisL THE RENAI8SANCE OF TEMPLAT MASONRY. There are evidences of the most gratifying nature that there Is to be a distinct and notable revival of Interest In Templar Masonry all along the Jlne In Georgia. Time was when the Knights Templars, with, their gallant bearing, their splendid charities, their superb uniforms crested with white plumes and flanked by shining swords, were the most popular and spectacular part of the noble order ot Masonry. In th^lr annuaj conventions. In their triennial conclaves and In their street parades on public occasions they were the admiration of all ob servers, and Impressed tho glories of Masonry In a most especial way. Then came the rare and radiant Shriners Into being, and the fun and frolic, the generous human nature of the Shrine, subordinated for a time the glory of tho "Temple." But tho spirit of the Templars ts awaking ngaln to the beauty and the nobollty ot a ritual which In expression and In action Is without a superior among tho secret 'fraternal orders of thfl world. „ The Templar degree is tho New Testament of Maaonry, and follows fast and fine upon the noble fellowship ot tho Old Testament Masonry which flows through the Blue Lodge to the Chapter. Tho great Templar parade which marked the recent corner stone lay ing of tho new Masonic building, was a revelation of the numbers. Influ ence and spectacular glory of Templarlsm, and from that occasion devoted followers of this degree have been' actively stirring themselves to revive enthusiasm In Its work. * , Several Sir Knights have made of themselves evangels to secure a larger attendance at the regular meetings and a greater xeal In the pub lic work and the parades of the Temple. « Tho Atlanta commandery meets on this Monday evening at 7:30, and It Is thought that an unusually large and active attendance will be present to suggest a Joint reception with Coeur de Lion commandery and to pro- vldo for some new occasions and methods by which to crystallise the loy alty and zeal of Knights In this superb and beautiful order.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP AND NATIONAL BANKS. To the Editor of The Georgltn: • Wbnt I, the difference between notion al ownership and control of railroads, as proposed by Mr. Farrar, of New Orleans, snd our present national banking system*. Tbe national government makes the mon ey and lets Ihe capitalists have It at aliont ouc-lialf per cent. The capltallela let It to the people nt an average of not lees than t: per cent per annum. Constitutionally tbl, money, already belonga' to tbe people, and should hare been let to the people ot 1 per cent. The people could have given no doubt a good msn. a wetl- n, but surely he haa missed It on the railroad question. Government control, which carries with It government responsibility. Then tbe government re- turns tho rondn bock to the owners with all their proatn. thereby avoiding taxa tion by tba atates and counties through which they rnn. We do not need that kind of railroads. We bare reached out far governmental,' state and municipal rati roads, and we are going to bare them. Already we have one short road In Gear- la that pays over fpo.ooo a year Into our late trraanry. and we ere going to length- u this road ami have as many more ae e want until they pay the enilre tax of our state.
