The new dress in which Tint I'osktiti tion ap|ienrs tills morning is the first step in a sys tem of improvements that will taunt lie com pleted and will mark a new era and u new growth for this paper. A new press that will print The Co.nstiti:- tiox in inurh better style and In better shape, and deliver it more promptly and certainly, Is now on route for Atlanta. The floors arc now being laid In our new building, In which we will have more room, a huger force and belter appliances to meet the requirements of our rapidly growing business. When we are at Edmunds are^morcdisposed to befriend Ar thur than Illaine. There is very little sincerity in the Arthur vote, anil what little there is will not lie able to successfully overcome the statement that Arthur can under no circumstances carry Ohio, which is an October state; the Arthur was such as to give to his firm a monopoly of highly profitable government contracts In liay claimed selves, to whom the conception of a theory is quite os imjMirtunt as its confirmation. Tills brings us, ns we say in Oeorgin, to the “|icth" of the matter, and the peth appears to lie very pethy. It is said that at the astro nomical observatory of llerlln a discovery has been made which will give new Importance to jieoplc declare in return that Illaine cannot ( the earth's satellite.

V. A., Ocala. Fla.: Is there a national silk cul ture association, and if so who is the president? Please give me a few facts concerning this industry in the United States. Your question has a wide range. There Is a Women's £flk Culture association of the United States." Mrs. John Lucas, of Philadelphia, is president. Milk culture is a simple und renuncra- tive industry, nnd does well in the southern and western slate*, in fact In any section where mul berry trees grow. California is in advance of any state in this matter. The legislature has appro priated §10,000 fpr this year to cucourage the devel opment of the silk industry. Here in Georgia, and other southern states, the ladies should take hold of silk culture in earnestt It opens to them tho road to practical Independence. A contemporary says that a girl of twelve years can support herself wholly by raising silk worms, if her father will provide her with some mulberry trees in Ills fence comers, or about her dwelling. T. .T. 11., Gainesville, Ga: Is there any danger of the gulf stream being diverted by the Puuurna canal? Probably not.

Our entire climate would bo hanged as one result, nnd there is no telling what other evils would, follow. But it Is not believed that the canal will disturb the forces of nature to ay appreciable extent. W. C. G. t Monroe, fin.: Will thc'prohibitiouists take a hand in the national cnmpnigu?

EDITORIAL CALVES AND MATCHES. The Macon Telegraph returns to the sub ject of the proposed pedestrian contest be tween the two cities, but it does not apologize for its hasty and unwarranted statement to the effect that the legs of the young men of MacAii are llahhy. On tho contrary, our amiable contemporary leaves the public to infer that, so far as Macon is concerned, the contest is to lie a one-sided affair, with all the chaises, nil the opport uni ties, nnd all the certainties in favor of Atlanta. This is u gloomy view, to say the least, but we do not believe it is warranted by the facts. The re sult will show that Macon’s legs arc no flabbier than those of Atlanta, and if the cracker city walks away with the honors, our opinion is that the representatives will acknowledge it to be the toughest contest they liave ever engaged in. The Telegraph says its understanding of the programme is this; “As between the two cities the programme is, heads, Atlanta wins; tails, Macon loses.” And it asks: “What will it profit Macon if the library gain a hun dred dollars and the city lose live hundred?’ In the first place, it is not a matter of heads I 3 * Wages would be very low at first, merely noml- and tails, but of legs and endurance.
