PRESIDENTIAL CUESSWORK.
The Philadelphia Press figures out
the probable Electoral vote of 1892
as follows: Republican 294; Demo
cratic 169; doubtful 71. Its doubt
ful States are—New York 36; Mich
igan 14; Indiana lf>; Connecticut 6
Replying to this the Philadelphia
Times says:
New York has just elected the
Democratic State ticket by 43,000
majority, with a bitter factional feud
in the Democratic ranks and the
Mugwumps generally supporting the
Republicans. There is certainly lit
tie to expect for the Republicans
there. —MTctiigan will divide her
Electoral vote. The Congressional
districts are gerrymandered to make
7 Democratic and 5 Republican; and
if the Republicans carry the State
and the two Senatorial Electors, the
vote would be a tie—7 to 7. Indiana
^f^*§5WW*J9Smocrntic majority at
her last State election in 1890, and
Indianapolis increased her Demo
cratic majority this year, and Con
necticut hasn’t given a Republican
plurality for years. Such are the
States classed as doubtful by the
Press. These added to States it con'
cedes to the Democrats, would give
the Democratic candidate for Picsi-
dent 240 Electoral votes, or 17 more
than a majority.
Now look at the doubtful States
Pn as puts in the Republican col-
JUiuols' 24 votes are obviously
!5tful ; so are Iowa’s 13; so are
assault usetts’ 13 and so are New
Hampshire’s!; whiie Rhode Island’s
4, Wisconsin’s 12 and Montana’s 3
are almost certain to be Democratic.
The Democrats have carried Rhode
Island at every election since en
larged snllrage ; they swept Wiscon
sin in 1890 by 36,000 majority, and
they carried Montana by a decided
majority.
It would be idle to say that the
great battle of 1892 Js free from
doubt as to the result, but there is
no process of rational figuring at this
time that can give the Republicans a
majority of the Electoral vote.

There was a South once that lay
bleeding and gasping in the ashes of
defeat and humiliation. Not since
Christ and Calvary was there ever
such untold suffering and agony as
then prevailed in this land drenched
with blood and desolated by the
cruel ravages of civil strife. Then it
was that the Confederate war-flag,

was laid away, tattered and torn, but
unlarLiihed and unstained to tell to
future generations the story of South*

We of the South stake such faith
upon that flag as to untold it now
and then to infuse new life into the
memory of the lost cause.
We loved it once, and we love it no
less now. It s well enough to un
furl its ample folds occasionally and
give one or two hearty rebel yells

Shacgtung, in China, who died a few
weeks ago, was one of the highest and

was born in the lowest grade of society,
and was obliged to flee from Ins native

He became a .brigand, and was soon

A COMMENDABLE MOVEMENT-
The committee from the Demos
thenian Society on the improvement
and repair of the hall, held a meet
ing in Tiib Banner editorial rooms
yesterday and decided upon a very
important step. They have appoint
ee! a committee among their alumni
-uemheis to arJ them in collecting
the funds sufficient to repair the hall
of this well known and worthy in
stitution.
This committee of alumni will be
expected to act in harmony with the
committee :rem the active member
ship and by the united efforts of
■“troth 7t may be safely put down as
certainty that tin Demostheoian So
ciety will in due time have a hall
built upon the College campus that
will adorn the place as do no other
buildings thereon.
The Dcmoslhenian Society has
history of which Georgia is proud
and for which the Empire State has
the profoundest appreciation. The
Society is the birth-place ot Georgi
oratory. From its almost sacred
halls went a Robert Toombs, a Ben
jamin H. Bill, and scores of others
whose names and fame extend be
yond the limils of Georgia State
lines.
Surely the graduates of the State
University, and especially the alumni
members of the Demosthenian Sc
ciety, will see to it that this move
ment shall be successful.

The Church of the living God may
go on with its great work of carrying
Christianity to foreign lands; it may
plant its holy ensign upon every
heathen shore warmed by the sun or
kissed by the ocean; it may bring
home to God millions of captive souls
and call it a grand work. But bright
er than all crowns is that crown
which is placed upon the lives of
those Christian people who are build-
ng homes lor the orphans of the
civilized world to-day. Here is the
grandest work of Christendom
The sins of the civilized world *;re
blacker than the crimes of heathen
lands. The temptations tc tb§Y°ung
are overpowering. They must have
the influence of a home and even
then restrictions of the firmest kind
must be placed around them. What

orphan child whose little feet are left
under command of a mind that is iu
its very nature prone to err.
There ate several orphanages near
us that should be kept up. One is

Here’s a good story taken from the
editoral page of the Chicago Herald :
Everybody knows that natives of Del
aware are called. ...“The Blue Hen’s
Chickens,” but not one in a hundred
can tell you why they areso called.
The epithet is said to have its origin in
the following: One .of. Delaware’s
most gallant lighters in the war of the
revolution was a Captain Caldwell, who
was notorious for his fondness for
cock righting. He drilled his -r . ’ u n
