Ibt §abt (touutn S&ttklu ftintts, ■ •* ' ! T. A. HAVRON, Editor & Pro’r. FRIDAY. SKPTKMItIiU lu 1386. TRENTON - - - GEORGIA The southern Rase Bull League has gone into winter quarters, and t!>e conn try will now have a rest on base ball. . —«•«. It is estimated that fully 10,000 i fit'iiilies in Texas are in a destitute condition caused by the drought, and will require 25,000 bushels of wheat and 10,000 bushels of corn and oats { r their immediate relief and seeding j> irposes. No rain has fallen for the pist year in a scope of country thirty miles wide and five hundred loQg Dr. Talmage returned home the sth inst, from a vacation tour through florae considerable, portion of the coun try. In speaking in reference as to whether the country tiad been worsted by the recent labor troubles, he says the condition ot the country is better than any other previous time in its history; the events of the past year has emphatically demonstrated that capi tal and labo.i are dependent upon each other, and that when one snffers both suffer. Anarchism may be a more serious matter in this country than has been thought. The conviction of the seven in Chicago has < uly tended to outage and arraign that element more openly against the government. Three tlions and Socialists with their sympathises from Chicago attended a pio-nie at Sheffield, Ind„ the sth inst. at which several incendiary speeches were made and loudly applauded by the motley crowd. The condemning or the seven was denounced in the most in solent terms; in their death they would be martyrs to their glorious princi pals. One noticeable Jesuit ot the earth quake in some of the large cities, was the paying np ot many old bills and debts that tho creditors never expected to get. One merchant in Savannah remarked tnat he had collected a bundled bills since the earthquake, of which he never expected to get a cent Another says that he was never treat* ed so pleasantly in all his life That the earth quake had badly scar ed them, and they want to get off with a clear conscience and out of d'-bt, is the explanation given. It rich could always be the result ol an ear'hquake, and nothing more, our country would begreately benefited by having a general one once or twice each year. Hum? is what a Republican jour nal says about Piobibition relative to the Republican party in Maine : P“Thongh Maine is a prohibition State;.and owes its prohibition law and ail its later amendmeurs to the Republican party, it nevetless lias a separate piobibition party whose sole object there, as elsewhere, is to kill the Republican party and put the Demo ciats in power.” Jt is an uncontii verted fact that the Prohibitionists in t.ie North as a pa/tv will draw its main strength from the Republican party. Its composition is of the ultra- Abolition element, and whose sole idea is prohibition of the liquor traff ic regardless of means. While we will gladly hail the day when every State in 'he Union will cease to legalize the sale of liquor, yet we believe it shotiM he done by tlie direct voice of the pen] !e separate fnm all party and political issues. It is one of the break er> upon which the Republican par tv will go to peices nationally; and the hope of »be democratic party in 1888 must be in steerring independent ot it. To the Auiericen mind the pros pect, of completing the Panama canal has never appeared flittering 1 The rment success with which l)v. Les sepps has met has gained public con fidence in the completion of the scheme. While the cost will teach far beyond the first c.dculatlon, ve* it completed, M. L'e I.essepps will be an immortal name. About one-fourth ot the excavation work has been com pleted. Only two dangers ate n>w a p “bended- (1) Ail eartl qmk ( uiirli is very natnril at present ) (A )i‘ranee becoming involved in a A Jlurder Eaclory, The seventy-sixth suicide of the present season at Monte Carlo is an nounced. This of course snows that the business of the place has been flourshing. People do not commit suicide after gambling, as a rule, un less they have lost all they possessed, or pel h ips sqmdered lands belonging lo others. Seventy-six suicides in one seison, therefore, indicates tier the management has made a pariicu larly good thing out ot the players this year. The fiequenteis of Monte Carlo are cosmopolitans. It drains a i extensive financial water shed, so to speak. Being one of the lew remain ing public and protected gambling places it attracts all tbe habitual gamblers who have been accustomed to frequent the continental bells now closed, and the result is a great ac cess of all the ugliest features of the business. At Monte Carlo much care is taken to prevent ruined gamesters commit ting suicide oil the spot. The man agement is always ready lo give suuii persons railroad tickets and even a little money to tide them over the fiist few days of dispair If they choose to kill themselves when thoy have left the place, nobody is concerned. 'i lie only effort made is to prevent a scan dal in the gambling precincts them selves. Monte Carlo is an all uiing place, and there can be no dorbt that it pays exceedingly well. But tlieie is uo place in Europe now which, considering its size, produces so large an aggregate of evil. Of couse the seventy six suicides of the present season do not represent more than a tithe of the ruin caused by tlie tables. Often people bankrupted in this way, probably nine have courage-to live on. But the nine live lives of misery and suffering. It is misery and suffering for which they are mainly responsi ble, for the principalities and powers that make their living out of human weakness and vice are clearly not less culpable than those who, in all great cities, subsist upon the means of dis sipation and debauchery. Monte Car lo is a scandal which is becoming more flagrant every year, in fact, and it can hardly exist much longer without compelling even the lax sen timent of continental Europe to de mand its suppression. [Few people a.te aware ot wliat Moute Carlo means or know any thing about its history. It is situated on the Mediterranean in the north west corner ot Italy, and embraces an area of of six and one-half square miles. It belongs to Prince Carlos of Spain, to whom it was %e ded by the Italian government in 1858. It pays its owner an annual rental of noarly $200,000. The first organization of the gambling hell dates back to 1854, since which time it lias manitained its imputation for being the most daz zling dangerous spot in Europe. The reason it has never been suppressed, is that it is a mere independent umiici pality or which is only an alias lor the great gambling company, and its cite is not under the coutroll of any the European powers.. Both England and Spain have offered fabulous snms for this little spot. The Prince is ad vanced in years, and cannot live long. His son Albert will succeed linn the right of the property, with whom ii is now believed that the French have made a contract for its purchase as soon as his father’s death occurs. But no in attar what nation buys it when Pi ince Carlo’s death occurs, it will doom gambling at Monte Carlo. It would coinsmue two columns to give a minute disci lption of the daz zling halls and gambling rooms of Monte Carlo, Strict guard and indeutification is kept as to who enter the halls and rooms. On entering the rooms .i.e view is dazzling and bewildering beyond desorption. Brilfcmt lights flash through m a ins tills; courtly men in full dress are walking and talking in low tones, or sitting and playing witli reckless indifference or <lea Uy earnestness; queenly women in got gcous attire, hushing their clatter, play with unsurpassed skill; the swell of music and the breath of flowers per ineate the warm, voluptuous atmos phere, and soften the scene to* one of delicate enchantment. This is a scene of the world’s greatest dissipation. Relative to the number of suicides, it is vouched that the number report ed is only a small percent of what rualy occurs, and that there arc fully oGS each year chargeable to gambling at Monte C'ai! •. lies ides the suicides no attempt has ever Lien made to esti mate the number of lives wrecked, hopes stranded, and property lost a* Monte Carlo. A half a million is often staked, and won <>r lost. Nmily a bundled thou cod dollars has been subscribed t>r the relief of the C’hai lesion sufferers. Mad and weak. It takes very little to throw a man’s mind off its bailance. To fact, small matters are more likely to dis turb the mental equilibrium than a go it calamity. It is not reported that auy of tbe Charlestonians went mad when they were surrounded by the dead and dying and the debris of their ruined homes. But in Augusta, where the sh »ck was compava'ively light, ami where no demage was done, people lost their reason and were driven to si icido, 'i iiis seems difficult to explain. Per haps, actual and present danger arouses all the faculties and airays them on the side of self-preservation, while the vague dreed of a possible evil throws the mind into disorder. In all ages mysterious natur il hono ni ina have driven people insane. Mete ors, comets, floods and cyclones pro duce lunatics. A bniAe chieftain from the interior of Alnca became a maniac when lie saw the ocean for the first time, and killed himsely before lie could be prevented. Only the other day an eminent Ger man scientist who had made himsell famous as the discoverer of seven com ets suddenly went mad. Undoubtedly the disturbing sensa tions experie need by those who are brought face to face with the myste rious workings of nature have their moving cause in the fear of death. That all men should dread pain is perfectuly natural, but that they should stand in horror of death is ut terly inexplicable. There is no sense >n dreading what must inevitable come to all men. If the common fear is inspired by the feeling that, men are nor prepared to be suddenly sent into the unknown world, tt is passing strange that this feeling is not strong enough to make people prepare themselves. At his best, munis only a weakling, After centuries of culture ami Christi anity, his lace blanches anil hi.s limbs are palsied when Nature frowns upon him and death seems near at hand. In the midst of his terroas and afflic tions his trembling lips may stam mer; “Thy will be done.’’ but does lie mean it? Time lias only coated tbe orignal man with a thin layer of varnish. Scratch through the super ficial polish and under it will be found the primeval savage, ignorant, snper sticioui and timid as a child.—Con stitution- SAW THE I’RESIDF^T. How YOutlV Made the Axua ntance of Mr, Cleveland. A curious incident occurred the other day during his morning A blight eyed but roughly dressed lad met him naar the lake, but hud no idea that he was the president. “Excuse me. mister, but 4$ yon live at the hotel?” said the boy. # “Yes,” repl'ed Mr. Cleveland, will an amut ed smile, • “Well, I’m glad to hear it. S’pose you’ve seed Grover Cleveland?” “Oh yes, I have seen him frequent ly.” “Goll derned ef yon ain’t just the man Iv’e been aching to meet Yon see I’ve walked thirty miles to take a look at the president. Jess as soon as I lrearl lie was here 1 sot out, and here I am begosh.” The smile on the presidential lace -till broadened. “My old da 1 has b sen votin’ tip i the mountains for thirty years, be gosh, hut none of the tellers lie voted for got elected until he wont fur Cleveland. Since then our luck changed, begosh. Cattle quit dying, bosses did well, main got the house insured and it anin’t been struck by lighuiin’ since, begegh.
