, the next governor.
Who Will He Bel
bo far as we had any preference be
tween the many Georgians whose
names have been suggested to lead
llie Democracy in the race for Gov
ernor we have already expressed our
ohmee. We were first for Blount or
ancl then for the choice of
the Democratic party through their
primaries, whoever he might be. As
both of these gentlemen have distinct
ly declined to enter the race, we are
now for the man the Democrats of
Georgia may declare as their prefer
ence. If there is any faith to be put
in the signs ou the political horizon
os they are forecasted to day, Hon.
W. J. Northen is in the lead at pres
ent. .
We do not accept the idea of some
of our democratic friends that lie is
the proper man because lie is a farm
er and prominent as a leader of the
Aliiancemen in Georgia, but because
he is in every respect qualified to
make a good Governor for the whole
people of Georgia. He has the un-
imited confidence of those who have
known him best and longest, and be
is well known to the people of the
whole State. He is a safe man to
trust. He is a man of broad and lib
eral views—prudent., sagacious, con
servative and honest. In his admin
istration of State affairs rings would
have no part. His prominenoe, how
ever, as a farmer may hinder and not
help his aspirations. If the farmers
enter politics, as an organization,
there will be divisions among them,
and harmony will be reached, if reach
ed at all, by the choice of a man of
less prominence than either Mr. North
en or Mr. Livingston, but possessing
equal ability. There is a growing re
pugnance against using high office in
farmers organizations as a stepping
stone to political preferment. Hence
a plain farmer from the ranks, such a
man as Hon. Robert. C. Humber of
Baldwin, may be culled upon to make
the race. In such a contingency, the
name of Col. Humber lias already
been suggested, aud we may say here,
that a purer, more incorruptible man
cannot be found in any of the walks
of life—or one who would lie more
“loyal to the mass of our fellow-citi
zens. - ’ By education and experience
he is well qualified for the high posi
tion. He has served witli ability In
both branches of the general assein-
blj’, and is well versed in the affairs of
state. Georgia’s honor would be safe
in bis hands.

The newspaper is the great educa

whieh flows “the varied information
of everchanging time,”—the great
receptacle into which are gathered

edge of the living age—a mirror in

life is portrayed.—Jt is the world’s

Suggestion of a name for the town

What Hypocrites!—The North
ern Republican press boast that its
party has given the Negro bis “Liber
ty.” We spell it with a big L. as they
do But they seem to forget that Lib
erty like Charity begins at home.—
The negro who lives in the so-called
Free States has no more liberty than
he had before Lincoln’s Emancipation
Proclamation. The Republicans or
the North made the Southern negro
equal to the Southern white man po
litically, but they refuse to give the
negro the same political, social anu
religious liberty in their States that
they accord to him in the so-called
Slavery States. What hypocrisy!
A Washington dispatch of the lltli.

Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Wanamaker,
Mrs. Russell Harrison, Miss Wanama

phia; Miss Robinson, of New York,
and Mr. Hammond of Trenton, N. J.,
will leave Washington Tuesday morn

man, president of the Richmond and
Danville railroad, for a trip south.—
Russell Harrison will accompany them.
Friday will be spent in Charleston, 8.
C., and the party expect to arrive at
St. Augustine, Fla., in time to attend
the dedicating services of the new
church erected by Henrj M. Flagler,
as a memorial to his son. After spend

will return to Washington by way of

be Mrs. Harrison’s first trip south of
Washington.
You way talk about beauty in a
young woman’s face or form, and
strength and bravery in a young mail
—they are a happy combination it is
true, and adding two other graces,
we may call them, there is found al
most human perfection. These are
GOOD MANNERS AND GOOD WRITING.
Without the latter no young man or
woman will succeed in life. A mouth
like Cupid’s bow, and teeth of ivory
whiteness, will not compensate for ill-
spoken or unkind words ; and a badly
spelled and written letter by a man or
woman will dull all beauty or bravery.
Show me the young man or woman
who writes and spells correctly, and
whoso manners are gentle, graceful
and pleasant, and 1 will stake all my
judgment of this world and its ways,
that success in life will be tbeirs. We
seldom see it otherwise. Now and
then, even with these accomplish
ments, the young man through temp
tation xnay fall by the way, and the
young woman, too—and death is pre
ferred rather than “face a frowning
world.’’ But these are rare occur
rences, exceptions that prove the gen
eral rule. J. H. N.
The origin of the word “gerryman
der” dates back to the year 1811, and
the word was first used in Massachu
setts. In that year the districting of
Massachusetts for legislative purposes
was going on, and Essex county was
so divided as to nullify the sentiment
of the citizens. For this Governor
Eldridge Gerry was chiefly respon
sible, and an artist attempted to
bring the scheme into disrepute by
converting the outlines of the coun
ty on the map into a hideous an
imal, which he said, would do for a
salamander. “Salamander, indeed!”
exclaimed a Massachusetts editor,
“call it a Gerry-mander.” The name
stuck, and has ever since been used
to donate a partisan change of the
boundaries of a district. From this
it is evident that the first letter of the
word should be given a hard sound.

inches, the barrel Ib 40 feet in length
and has a maximum diameter of 6$

eleven miles and the mechanism is

Washington, D. C., March. 12, 1890.
Editors Union-Recorder:
Vice President Morton's sudden trip
to Florida has been fully explained to
your correspondent by a prominent
republican who is not an admirer of
the boodle campaign which Mr. Mor.
ton has entered upon to capture the
republican nomination in ’92. Mor
ton's object”, said this gentleman, “in
going to Florida at this time is to hold
a private consultation with Senator
Quay, who is also down there, and to
ascertain whether his support can be
purchased. He is prepared to pay a
big price, and I am afraid lie will suc
ceed for Quay lias always had a weak
ness for money, particularly when iu
large sums, and no man knows the
value of money in a political campaign
better than he.”
There is an old fashioned game call
ed “the devil among the tailors” that
reminds one of Frank Hatton and the
Civil Service commission. As soon as
the testimnoy in the Congressional in
vestigation, which has been anything
else but favorable to the present
brand of Civil Service reform, was all
in, Hatton threw Knottier dynamite
bomb into the reform-sham cajnp by
charging that certain letters written
by one W. D. Foulke and printed In
the New York Times and the St Louis
Republic which charged Mr. Harrison
and his Cubinet with having entered
into a conspiracy to break down
tho system of civil service reform,
were inspired by two of the Civil Ser
vice Commissioners. The two Com
missioners deny the charge. Of course
that wns to be expected; it was either
deny or hand in their resignations.
But Hatton will not let the thing stop
here, if lie can convince Mr. Harrison
of tile truthfulness of lnscharge some
body will hear something drop before
long.
The democratic members of the
House are fretting no little because
they lost a seat in the House last
week that might just as well have
been kept. The trouble, is that cer
tain democratic ineuihersof the House
refuse to sacrifice either their pleasure
or their private business to occupy
their seats aud attend to the duties
that they were elected to perform.
There are several of these men who
have not voted iu the House three
times this entire session. In this par
ticular case several republicans dis
gusted with the report of the majori
ty of the Elections Committee, inti
mated to democrats that while they
would not vote against the contetant
they would make it a point to absent
themselves without pairing when the
time came to take the final vote so as
to make it certain that the democrats
could defeat the contestant. These
gentlemen kept their words, and yet
the contestant wus seated by a beg
garly majority of two yutes, all be
cause the Chronic absenteees of the
democratic side were not on band to
vote.
A minority report was submitted by
Mr. Oates who it will be remembered
engineered the long dead-lock in the
last Congress against the same bill.
No dead lock can prevent it from be
coming a law this time.
The House committee on Pensions
seems to have gone daft. A majority
of that committee has practically
agreed to report bills that would, if
they became laws, require nearly
$700,000,000 to pay the pensions.
These reports are only bunkum, no
sane man lias any Idea that more than
one of the bills—the dependent—will
be passed, and that is by no means
certain, as the rapidly lessening
Treasury surplus has already caused
the republican leaders to notify the
chairman of committees to curtail
their appropriation if they expected
tne bills to get through.
The House will probably take up
the bills admitting Wyoming and Ida
ho this week. Tho democrats wilt an
tagonize the bill with an omnibus bill
prepared by Mr. Springer providing
for tbe admission of Wyoming, Idaho,
New Mexico and Arizona.
It was supposed that iu view of the
facts and the law, and also of the fact
that the votes were not specially
needed that the Senate Committee
on Elections could afford to be fair
in making a decision in tbe Montana
Senatorial contest, but by a strict
party vote it has decided to report in
favor of the Republicans. A more
outrageous and unfair decision was
never made by any committee.
It is impossible to get a republican
member of the House Ways aud
Means committee to say a word about
the new tariff bill, and when it will be
reported, if it ever is, nobody seems
willing co even guess.
Out of tbe four contested election
cases decided by the House only one
democrat has been allowed to retain
his seat.
When the Senate Committee that
has been struggling so hard to dis
cover how the proceedings of secret
sessions leaked out began to examine
the Senators the scales fell from its
eyes. Now the Commitee knows what
everybody else lias known all tbe
time.
A Positive Guarantee of Cure

Spring-heels are ooming into fashion
for women’s shoes. It does not seem
possible, I admit, but such is the fact.
This has been brought about partly
by the protest of physicians against
the high, small heel occupying a place
in the middle of the sole, and partly
by the efforts of sensible women. In
other words, there has been a demand
for spring-heels, and shoe dealers lmye
been compelled to meet it. Then the
influence of Mrs. Smith, whose doc
tor forbade the usual crippliug demor
alizing foot gear, worked directly up
on Mrs. Jones, and the latter, whose
Buffering from corns and sciatica and
the other ills which result directly
from cramped nerves and distorted
muscles,, made life a burden, felt that
she could afford to ache a little less
when so distinguished a woman as
Mrs. Smith had adopted the heelless
shoe. And so the fashion is spread
ing, and if physicians and the com
mon sense workers among my own
sex will have an eye to the width of
the sole as well as the height of the
heel, un ideal fashion will be estab
lished.
A gentleman writes me that his
wife has imagined for tho last five
years that she could write a play. “I
have always discouraged such an am
bition,” he states, promptly, “and
have made no end of fun of tier, but
she neither takes my advice nor
minds my ridicule.” Oh, most wise
and comfortable woman. Words fail
to express my respect and admira
tion 1 “The other day,” this hus
bandly critic and “snoop”—I beg par
don—goes on to say, “my wife went
out driving with a friend, and I took
the opportunity of looking into her
writing desk. Just, as I expected,
there was a play. Now think of it—
1 read the whole of the dialogue of
that wonderful drama iu less than
half an hour. But the stage business
and the directions about properties,
ete., etc., were about as uninteresting
aud as tedious as anything I ever
struck. Now what can be done for
a woman so hopelessly askew in re
gard to her own capabilities?” My
impression is that this woman lias
got something worth examining. A
writer who knows enough to make
the talk of a play subordinate to its
action, known more than the usual
playwright. In fuct, this is some
thing that has to be learned from ex
perience und does not come natural.
If this paragraph should happen to
meet the eyes of the wife of my cor
respondent, and she should feel like
sending this damned beforehand dra
ma of hers to me, I will give it a pro
fessional reading without ohurge.
This is something I never do, but I
am willing to doit for two reasons:
tlie first to help the woman, if I can
aud the second to get even with her
critical and domineering husband. I
think it is quite as likely that the
great American play will be written
by a woman as by a man.
Tbe newest novel, us we all know
from bitter experience, Is not always
the best, neither is tbe ;iast novel by
our favorite autiior invariably satis
factory, and tbe older we grow and
the more we read, the more we dread
to open a new volume for fear of be
ing disappointed. 1 have just finish
ed reading a work of fiction by
brand new au iior, Louis R.
Harrison. The name of tbe novel is
Rot hernial, of a story of Lost Iden
tity.” In this trashy, ungraminatieal
period, it is delightful to get hold of a
carefully written aud interesting book
and to those who care for a well laid
plot, one that will keep the reader
speculating and guessing, the delight
is certainly enhanced a hundred fold.
There is just such a plot to “Rother
mul,” and if the reader can tell “to
ther from which,” or know who is
dead or who is living, he is sharper
and smarter than I am. The Franco-
Prussian war furnishes a charming
background for the story, and both
the plot and treatment are decidedly
“Frenchy,” though not in the general
acceptation of that term, for Mr. Har
rison’s novel is as clean as it is spark
ling and fascinating. The interest of
“Bothermal” is wonderfully well sus
tained from tbe first page to - the last
aud it is a profound pleasure to wel
come so able a novelist to the ever
widening field of American litera
ture.
Many ladies in these days of adul
teratlon are making all their own
candy. A correspondent from Albany
asks me to tell my readers how to
make the very best chocolate cream
drops, those that are not only pleas
ant to the palate but are perfeotiy
safe for ohilaren to eat—iu modera
tion she means of course. Beat the
whits of one egg stiff with oonfec
tioner’s sugar, and mak-- into Uttle
balls. Dissolve half a tablet of Cho-
colat-Menier in a bowl placed over
steaming teakettle. Dip the balls in
the chocolate, and set in a cool place
Be sure and do not mix ar y sugar
with tlie chocolate, as it is already
sweetened.
The same caution in regard to su
gar should be used in making tbe fill
ing for cake. The Metlier is all ready
for use.
A Southern housekeeper wishes an
unfailing receipe for buckwheat cakes.
1 have just such a recipe and shull be
very glad to furnish it. As buck
wheat cakes are presumably fo
breakfast they must be mixed over
night. Warm a quart of milk, add
a cupful of corn meal, yellow or
white, two great spoonfuls of molas
ses, and a Fleiscbnmnn’s yeast cake
which has been previously dissolved
in a little warm water or milk. Then
pour in enough good buckwheat to
make a griddle cake batter. Cover
closely. If the night is warm the ve«L
sel need not be wrapped. If cold it
must be. Stir briskly in the luornlag
and bake on a hot griddle.

8ENAT0R BROWN’S HEALTH
Senator Brown’s health is the sub
ject of much concern not only to
the politicians but t o hosts of genu
ine friends and well wishers alt over
the stato. He is inquired about daily
not rnly at his homo in Atlanta but
all over Georgia, and the sympathy
and respect shown him in his feeble
ness and long illness must be grat
ifying to him and to his family.
His illness has been long and com
plicated, and nothing but his pa
tlence and strong constitution could
have kept the Senator alive, but af
ter a recent relapse he is again im
proving and getting strength. He
was prostrated last spring but recov
ered far enough to go through the
summer all right and furnish the
Georgia legislature some good ad
vice whieh they would have done
well to take. He showed that his
Judgment and wonderful powers of
clear statement were not in the
least impaired, and ho remains to
day the ablest and clearest hehded
statesman in the commonwealth.
Ho may never be able to resumo his
seat in tho Senate and the reports
that ho will not stand for re-election
are doubtless correct, but in the
Senate or out of it, Senator Brown
will always be a controlling political
power in Georgia, and to-day on his
invalid couch he is moro sought after
and moro thought about than any
other southern leader.
Senator Brown will hardly resign,
ana if his present improvement con
tinues he will take his seat in the
Senate in the spring.—Augusta News.
Georgia's New Bonds.
The new series of State Bonds for
which bids are invited by Governor
Gordon and Treasurer Hardeman will
commend themselves to persons
seeking investments.
The new bonds will be issued at a
time when the creditof tho state is
at its best. Georgia’s bonded debt is
only $8,509,500, while she owns the
Western and Atlantic railroad, aod
receives from its runt and for taxes
two million dollars a year.
Our safeguards against increasing
the bonderl debt and our assets and
revenues make Georgia bonds a con
venient and valuable investment.
The new series will run from 26J yrs.
444 yrs. at a rate of interest not
exceed 4J per cent per annum.
Thesejbonds may be registered with
out cost, thus providing against des
truction or loss.
Treasurer Hardeman’s able man
agement of the state’s finances de
serves praise, and his arrangements
for the new series of bonds are ao ju
diciously made that tbe state and the
investors will have every reason to
be satisfied with their contract.—Goa

Blount not a Candidate.
Representative Blount says he it
not a candidate for governor, and it
Is quite certain that he means what
he says. He lias never sought tlie
office as far as the public knows, and
his name has been mentioned in con
nection with it only because of his
eminent fitness for it and his honor
able record as a public servant. He
is satisfied to remain In oongress, and
there is no doubt that he can be re
elected to his present position aaoftea
as be wants to be.
While tbe nomination for governor
will not go a-bagging, it is quite safe
to say that no one can predict with,
any degree of certainty who tbe nom
inee will be. The nomination will not
tie made for several months, and with
in that time public sentiment is likely
to undergo considerable change with
respect to gubernatorial candidates.
There are some indications, not very
marked as yet, that a candidate who
has not figured conspiciously in th«
gubernatorial race will be pushed to- 0
ward the front with considerable vig
or later on. Those, therefore, who
think it is their particular duty to fix
up the democratic slate should keep
their eyes wide open for new develop
ments.
Mr. Blount says that the people
ought not to permit themselves to
be influenced into supporting any
man for governor or the legislature
unless they are absolutely certain
that he has their interests at heart
and has the ability to servetbemcred
itably. In other words, don’t nomi
nate men simply beoause they want
to be nominated. Tbe thing to do is.
to go about the work of making nom
