There are bat few more week* un
til the University sod Lucy Cobb
commencements will enliven the
Clastic City of Georgia with the an
nual gsycties that belong to this
season.
The Lucy Cobb Commencement
will begin within three weeks, May
30tb being the day of its beginning.
It will last a week, and from all evi*
dences that come to light from out
the quarantined walls of the school,
It can be truly said that the com -
mencemcnt this yesr will be more
Interesting than ever before in the
history of the school.
Then, the Home School will take
up its part of the season about the
sixth of June and here will, indeed,
be a delightful period of interesting
school performances. Tue young
ladies of the Home School have a re
cord iu the excellence of their enter
tainments that bespeaks most en
joyable commencement exercises this
year.
And, finally the University Com-
\ meneement will come as a Gt climax
to the festivities, and then the so
ciety of the whole State will centre
here for two weeks. The commence
ment this year begins about the
12ih of June. Tue literary feature*
of the Commencement will be unu
sually good this year. There will
be the usual amount of dancing ami
social enjoyment for the visitors du
ring the progress of commencement,
and there is no doubt but that Ath-

sually large crowd of gay visitors.
Tax complaints are general that

THE NEW BISHOP.
Tt-day the Diocesan Convention
will assemble in' Savannah for the
purpose of electing a new Bishop.
Much interest hovers over that
9
convention hail to-day, for the elec
tion of Bishop Beckwith’s successor
is a matter in which cot only do the
members of the Episcopal Church
feel a profound interest, but likewise
also do the members of every other
denomination.
Christianity, indeed, lost a siugu.
larly gifted and very able worker in
the death of Bishop Beckwith, and
hia loss was mourned by every de-
domination in this part of the South
ern States. It will be a difficult
matter to find a man that will in
every way fill the place made vacant
by Bishop Beckwith's death, but the
convention in Savannah is made up
of intelligent and prominent Church
men, and they will no doubt select
au efficient Bishop. The diocesan
convention will be composed of lead
log members of the Episcopal Church
in Georgia.
KEEP QUIET MR. BLAINE.
The New Bedford Journal, thinks
that Mr. Blaine is the choice of the
Republican party, but is of tbe opin.
ion that he will keep his mouth
shut.
In fact it urges him to keep quiet
uatil the people call him, and in a
very statesman-like way says no man
should seek tbe Presidency until the
mass of the people called him to it.
Upon these grounds, Mr. Blaine will
never come out as a candidate, for
the masses will never call him ont
Mr. Blsiue’s iridescent fancies about
reciprocity have been shown to be
nothing but another name for pron
tection of monopolistic manufac
tures, and this is not the kind of
president the people want. A demo
crat who believes in tariff reform is'
the pattern of the next president.
But simply as a matter of repub
lican politics the New Bedford Jour
nal goes on to talk about Mr. Blaine
as follows :
Tbe opinion of leading republican
editors who have given their views
on Mr. Blaine’s candidacy to the
Boston Herald seems to be that just
at present Mr. Blame should keep
very quiet about the matter. The
friends of Harrisou have been argu
ing that the Secretary should openly
declare himself one way or the other,
but the republican editor* don’t see
it that way.
Perhaps the most sensible utter
ance of those reported is that o( Mr.
F. F BurgiD, the managing editor oi
the Skw York Press, who says :
The presidency should neither be
sought nor declined. It the people
derna d Mr. B’aine.be could scarcely
refuse It is not in keeping with tb«
temper of the American people that
any man sl ould put himself beyond
the possibility of selection for tLif
office.
Mr. Burgin’s view of the matter is
the right one. It is the idea of tht
presidency which was held by tht
men who framed the constitution,and
it is tbe idea wh ch ought to main
tain to-day. When the conntr
calls the man must respond, personal
considerations or political deals t>
the contrary notwithstanding. Just
at present the demand for Blaine's
Domination from republicaus every
where is oue whose volume has rarely
been equalled in the history of the
country. The call for Mr. Harrisot
is htard only iu the neighborhood ot
the White House and tbe office of
Frank Leslie’s Illustrated News
paper.
The republican editors needn’t
worry. There isn’t any danger
of Mr. Blaine sayiDg much at this
early stage of the game. He isn’t
built that.way.

GIVE US GOOD ROADS.
Thera is one matter which the
next session of the Georgia Legists
tore can look into with general ben
efit to the people of Georgia. It is
the system of keeping in repair the
public roads of the State.
Inis is an important feature of the
State’s progress,and no one usn easi
ly fancy the great good to come of
well kept public roads.
Essy and rapid transportation is
as necessary in the country as it
in the cities comparatively speaking
and the laws of the 8>a e governing
tbe system of working the roads
should be guarded with a watchful
eve. Bw £
C ltrke county has got d county roads
and bridge?. Ordinary Hirringioo
and ids ro .d commissioners have al
ways kept an eye open for the sate
and easy condition of the public
roads, and they certainly deserve the
jgratulations of every planter in
Thet have begun making arrests
in Phitadelpbin for docking horses'
tails. There is no special law on
tbe subject in Pennsylvania, as there
is in Massachusetts, but tbe offend
ers are to be prosecuted under the
general law against cruelty to ani
male. Tbe trouble will probably be
in Philadelphia, as it is everywhere
else, to find out the real offenders in
this business. The persons who do
th6 (locking are the guilty parties,
and it is about as hard to catch them
as it is to catch a weasel asleep. It
seems to ns that-muzzling dogs is
just about as bad, if, indeed, it-iso’
just a little bit worse than docking
horses’ tails, and yet it is done open
ly and above board by the City Coun
cil of Athens.
*"I think tiie tariff will be the
leading issue in 1892,” said Senator
Carlisle while in New York the
(ther day. “ It ought to be and
sincerely hope that it will be.

make a serious mistake if it allowed.,
the tariff question to be made sec
ondary to the silver question or any
other. Tbe party is a unit on that
question, while on the silver qoes-
t on it is divided.”

from dyspepsia than Mr. E. A. McMahon, a
well known grocer of Staunton, Va. He says:
“ Before 18781 was In excellent health, welch

developed Into acute dyspepsia, and soon I
reduced to 1C2 pounds, suffering burning
sensations in the stomach,
palpitation of the heart,

him is true.
Fom the Macon Evening News:
Great preparations are being made
for the Lucy Cobb commencement at
Athens, which opens May 31.
From the Macon News:
Scott recently appeared in Athens,
where the students and citizens gave
him an ovation. A public meeting wat-
held after the performance, and speec’ «
es were made by the mayor anil other
prominent citizens, thanking Thornton
and his troupe for the enjoyment. they
had afl’orded Athenians. A champagne
layout was also spread for the great
Scott and his players. [The public
speaking and champagne layout com
bine to form a fairy story pictured only
in the mind of the Macon News. It is
news with tbe bloom on it in Athens.]
From the Boston World :
It is suggested that public monuments
be erected in the Classic City to the
memory of Dr. Andrew A. Lipscomb
and Dr. P. H. Mell.
What is it that the Georgia editor
can’t do if be only wants to ? The
Columbns Enquirer-Sun says : The
Georgia editors will deliver most o f
the commencement addresses in this
State this summer, and not a few in
other States. The public has come
to fexptet, and demand of the Georgia
editor now that he must also be an
orator. And he generally is.
It is explained that Minister Por-
txb had applied for a leave of ab
sence from oia post in Italy before
tbe existing unpleasantness. This
will enable him to put an attache in
charge of current affaire without se
rious embarrassment. It is the most
polite way of placing our diplomatic
relations with Italy on an equal
footing.

as quick aod light a step as in
former years. Let us see what it
■•did last year.
It issued 45,754 Policies.
It wrote $159,376,000 new in

It Increased its assets $10,894,209.
On the first of JannarjL 1891,

There are 173,469 Policies in
