Nothing has ever occurred in the
official acts or attempts of President
Cleveland that has caused such a
howi among the Republicans as the
order tor the War Department to re
turn to the Southern states the Con
federate flags captured by the Federal
troops during the war. Such was the
flurry created, the President immedi
ately recitided tlic order, giving as a
reason, that after mature deliberation,
he considered he had transcended his
constitutional authority, and that it
was a matter only for the considera
tion of Congress.
The spirit manifested by the North
ern press gives a clear indication of
their feelings and regards to those who
fought under those flags. Nothing
has occurred since the close of that un
paralleled struggle that would tend
nio.-p strongly to keep up a sectional
feeling. It can hardly be expected
that the South can look upon such on
the part of their once foes in war with
perfect indifference While it does not
lessen southern loyalty to the Union,
it excites our extreme contempt for
those who regarded themselves so in.
tensely aggrieved and the Federal
soldier so flagrantly insnlted by the
order. Those old tattered banners,
rest wherever they may are sacred to
the Southern heart. What credit
they can he to the Union arms as
spoils of war, it is not e tsy to determ
ine. Considering what it cost them
to capture those flags against an
enemy only one-tenth in numbers,
thev ought to be willing to efface
everything that would commemorate
that regreted struggle.
Never in the history of this country
was the sentiment so strong and de
cided in having passed laws and reg
ulations with such deference to the
Sabbath. Nothing indicates a more
healthy sign in the moral and civil
advancement ot the American people.
But we have an element in this coun
try that is not only ami-American, but
anti-Sabbath observing. We mean
the social slums oi Europe that has
emigrated into this couutry, ami con
tiuues to pour in upon our shores.
In tbe coming presidential election
the republican candidates will not be
asked whether they will fight tbe
southern confedeiacy or not. They
will not be questioned as to their
standing on the Missouri compromise
or the Kansas and Nebraska question.
The will not be catechised with refer
ence to the reconstruction of the states
lately in rebellion. It will make no
difference whether they fought as Un
ion soldiers or stayed at home as John
Sherman did.
Home of the Northern Republicans
and ex-Union soldiers whose patriot
ism and indignation has been raised
to such a high pitch by President
Cleveland ordering a restoration of the
Confederate Hags to their respective
States, ought to come down among
the men who tougbt under them and
do some of their ranting We would
have a great deal more confidence in
their patriotism.

Atlanta is a city in which every

The years wo spend hero in doing onr
work depend to a great extent on the way ;
we manage ourselves.. There is no warrant |
in seriplaro or in history for disregard of I
the ordinary lajvg of, security and success, i
Innumurahle blessings surround us all the
time, and these we should not forget in our l
ardent desires to reach out for something
in advance. While we are in the world we
have to do with the world, but Ist us do with
its present realities, and not which fancy
paints or the imagination depicts in such
glowing nnd brillinnt’oolors. Grasp the at
tainable, if it ho a laudable object, and
reach not after that which reason and intelli
gence declare that you have no certain or
definite knowledge as to whether it will be a *
blessing or a curse to you- and your peoplo.
There seems to bo a luek of ordinary busi
ness shrewdness on tho part of some men
that is simply amazing. It exhibits itself
in Ictiing things drift and trusting in luck,
which is wretchedly poor logic. This error of
taking some step prematurely, or of doing at
one stride what should be done gradually,
is likely to ruin the county's interests or
future prosperity. Mind what you go iDto.
Bubbles are easily mado and easily bursted.
It is a poor policy to deed your, property to
some one else to control for you for a period of
time, be it short or long. Be rejtdy to lease
to actual developers—capital that is here
with you to stay.
These remarks will not seem so vague
when we illustrate to you their truth and
a conversation we had with one ,our most
prominent and energetic iron ore men. We
met him quietly talking of some nc,w veins
that were being opened, and the future pros
perity of the county and its iron ort s inter
ests. We immediately put the question as
to what he thought of the lute movements
and endeavors being mado to buy up miner
al interests in the county. He replied:
“I don’t know much about it, and don’t
think there are many that do. To me the
movements arc to quiet and mysterious. It
may be a good thing and it may not be.
And as far as 1 am individually concerned, I
haven’t much faith or confidence in it. If it
is a benefit and such a good thing for tho
people, I see no reasons for secrecy, fior
why the people should not be acquainted
with the company they reprosont and it* in
tentions. And it is upon those ideas that I
ba my opinion of it being more of a scheme
ot some few capitalists to got control of the
iron ore interests of the county, to hold for
a period of time for speculative purposes,
than it is of any company who are Interested
in its development. If they are successful
in these intentions, it will not only injure
and damage tbe future intention!! of tome of
our iron ore men who are investing their
money and devoting their tno; :y and labors
to develop iron ore interest . whole, but l
retard the prosperity ;:ml progress of the
county for sometime t . i ..a strongly
opposed to options beie ; (riven or, property,
even whon a consideration is given. While
I can raise no serious objections to a man
who is pressed and in need of money for dis
posing of his ore nt the same
tirno, I be for him
and the interests of the whole county, not
to sell at all, if be is able to hold his land,
only to those who will immediately de
velop it. Giving options on interests of this
kind, in my estimation, is simply ahsurifl'
I hail made arrangements to oj>cn up a new
mine on property adjoining mine, in which
I would have worked twenty men, and made
a proposition to the owner, a
good royalty on the ore, and he would ha-.i
accepted, but could not on the account of hisJ
property being under an SBOO option whiei#
will not expiro until ninety days, which of
course I will not want ninety days from
now, as I will have made other arrange
ments.” ;
I am proud of the square stand the Tuiks
took subject, and the manner in which
it represents the people’s interests, and
hope vou will continue in your present poli
cy aud course, which at loast has my warm
and hearty support.”
We modestly thanked him, and for the ben
efit of our readers, give a few figures show
ing clearly how much the people lost through
one little three-month option.
The laud if bought will bring the owner
SBOO, and the county not materially benefit
od. If it is not, he not only loses the SBOO
he had in view, but he loses tho three
month's royalty he would have been receiv
ing from the lessee. Tw nty idle mon would
have found employment at not less than one
dollar per day ; and counting twonfy-six
working days in a month, these men would
hare received ssf>o : and in tl ree months, at
tho expiration of tho option, they would
have received $1,560, lacking just forty dol
lars of being twice as much as the owner
would have received for his land. And tak
ing it for granted the mon who are endenv
oriug to buy it would not wan; to develop it '
inside of of three years at the least, these i
twenty men would have received in that time j
at the least calculation $20,1 fiO, nearly all
which would have circulated among the peo
pie of >ur comity. And by following out I
this course, remember, you are benefiting j
yourselves and humanity in general, and in
juring and crippling no one. For capital is
invited to come nt all times. And when it
comes in good faith, for the purpose of de
veloping and opening up the interests of
the country, depend on it, if it makes its
intentions known and substantiates them,
it will receive the warm and hearty sup
port of every eitixon in iladc county
These arc our sentiments on options and the
sale of valuable iron ore interests, which
w sir til maintain, any one else to lire j
contrary.
