SiAiyhinc ont of the eight Y-six
. lomocrats in the Alabama Legislature,
re in favor of Cleveland’s nomina-
ion in 1888.
V What a relief it must be for honest
fflreople in Rhode Island to wake up
f ifter all these years and line! the State

The farmer* and planters of the
State met in Atlanta on the loth of
| this month for the purpose of mapping
out a programme for a grand convert
i tion of farmers to he held at a later
'day.
i The Piesident had a lender heart
last week, and so granted eight par
dons to persons convicted and impris
i; oned for embezzling from the mails;
breaking in post-offices; robbiug the
mails on the highways ; counterfeiting;
and other crimes. Cleveland has
granted more pardons than any
fit sident before him within the
memory of man.
We desire to call the attention of
the people to the fact, that Georgia’s
ore fields, infinite in variety and ox
hanstless in quality, are almost in
sight ot the coal fields ol Alabama
and Tennessee.
And we desire to call your attention
to the strangest fact of all—that Geor
gia with all these natural advantages,
Is making little or no effort to develop
her iron interests.
what’s the matter with the “Empire
State of the South?” lias she such an
overweening confidence m herself and
her advantages as to believe that for
eign capital will develop her ore fields
—her marble, her slato, her talc, her
copper, her hundred and one valuable
interests and vast water powers,
without an invitation, and without
jfrat putting down her own money as
an evidence of her faith in her re
sources.
Will she goto the mountain or will
she continue to wait for the mountain
to come to lie.*.
The question of the legality of the
suspension of the long and short naul
by the Inter-state Commerce Com
missioners is n veiy interesting one.
There is no doubt of the perfect au
thority of the commission to set aside
the prohibition in any special case
after investigation shall have shown
that hardship has arisen from it. But
in the present instance action has been
taken on a different state of facts. The
law had not yet been in opeiation so
Uas to be tested before the order of
suspension was issued, and the ex
emption is, therefore, has.-d upon the
apprehension of hardship rather than
upon actual experience.
■\Vhetliei the commissioners will be
ablt to establish the legality of their
precautionary action or not, there can
be no ilonbt of it* wisdom as a meas
ure of public policy.
The serious complications that at
tend the work of the commission are
already apparent. It is fortunate
that the good sense ot the President
hss placed it in the hands of discreet
and able men.
lion T. P Gass, member of con
gress, from Tennessee in a it cent speech
before the bouse said :
“The famieis constitute more than
one-nalt ot our population, and twenty
seven years ago they owned one-half
of tlit* wealth; but class legislation
has transferred much ot their earnings
to the favored classes, and especially
1 lie corporations, and now they own
hut one-fourth. This is an appalling
fact, and can only be accounted for on
the hypothesis that pernicious legis
lation has enabled othei less produc
tive ituliiNiries to appropriate a part
of the rewaids ot the farmer’s toils.
lie farmers of the land arc the most
patient and conservative portion of
our population, and on this account
have lieen subjected to an unjust share
«*f goveromental burdens. 1 iso 4,000,-
n r farms in this countiv are tilled
by 7.G7 *.OOO intelligent and law-abid
ing citizens, producing annually pro
due's vtiued at *8.000.000.000 upon
farms worth *10.120.770. They pay
7-7 j*er cent, of all federal taxes and
<i ii»ribn»e of <>m exports more than 80
j--r sent, and have done so much of
ii,<* ii»o/ f<<r more than 50 years ”

SOUND THE ALARM .
When you meet a friend all smiling,
One who loves to joke, anti chall,
One who reeks to he beguiling
Some fte.juaintunce to a laugh,
And he starts the ancient story
Which he never 1:• i!s to tell,
Mercilessly cheek his glory—
Gently touch the chestnut bell.
When the maid with whom you’re reaming
On an evening promenade,
Softly whispers in the gloaming :
“No one loves me, I'm afraid,”
E-e she has you at the altar,
Of her hopes, sound forth the knell;
Grab the string and do nottaltcr —

A remarkable coincidence has been recalled
since the death of our honored probate judge.
Two near relatives of hi, had been elected
probate judge in different counties. Each
served about 4 months and died. When
Jndga Campbell was elected be told his wife
he did not have long to livo and mentioned
tho singular fact that his relatives had served
as probate judges four months each, lie had
served just four months when stricken with
his fatal malady.—[Union Springs Herald.

THE W ORK OF A MOMENT.
Did you ever write a letter, and just a? you
were finishing it, let your pen fall on it, or a
drop of ink blot the fair page? It was the
work of a moment, but the evil could not be
effectually effaced. Did voir never cut your
self unexpectedly and quickly? It took days
or weeks to heal the wound and even then a
sear remained. It is related that of Lord
Broughraan, a celebrated English nobleman
that one day lie occupied a conspicuous place
in a group to have bis daguerreo
type taken. But at an unfortunate moment
he moved. The picture was taken, but lii
face was blurred. Do you ask what applica
tion would he make of these facts? Just
this : It takes a lifetime to build a character,
it only takes a moment to destroy it. “Watch
and pray,” therefore, “that ye enter not into
temptation.” let him that tbinketli he
