There is a wonderful consistency
hi taking the revenue off of whiskey
and tobacco, so that the poor man can
get them cheaper, and retaining the
war duties on sugar, rice, coffee, cloth*
jng, etc. Such is about the theory of
the protectionists.
There are instances when people get
Into serious and fatal difficulties by
Jiaving on their person a concealed
pistol, and there are times when a
person feels more comfortable with one
Jn band's reach. In the former in
stance it is better not to have bad one;
and in the latter it is best to avoid
being surrounded by such circum
stances, though it may not always be
avoidable.
Occasionally we notice something
emanating from a State paper cryiug
down onr convict lease system as bar*
barious and criminal in its very lia
suie. We do not know whether they
actually believe this, or are just copy
ing after outsiders. Speaking in ref
erence to the Northern press’s capacity
for lying about Southern institutions
and manners, on this matter it has
about equaled its record 1 of ante-bel
lum times regarding the institution of
Blavery and the treatment of the slaves
in the South.
It has been advocated that the gov
ernment ought to own and operate all
vailroad lines. Such may do in mon
arcnal governments, but never in a re
publican. We have just had a fair
illustration of the theory iu GeoJgia.
The more the fact occurs to our mind
sAiat the House of Representatives re
vised to charter a toad projected by
private individuals because it would
eome in competition with the State
load, the more we are convince ! that
4he State ought to sell that property.
The annals of ancient history nor
records of crime in tire dark ages, fnr
abh but few parallels in atrociousness
Co the murder that was committed in
twelve miles of Macon the other day.
A son murdered his father, step-moth
er, three half-brothers and three-half
sisters, and an aged lady relative vis
iting the family The brothers and
sisters ranged from twenty years to
eighteen months in age. What pos
sessed the murderer to commit the
korrible crime no reason is assigned,
only that it was to get possession of
liis father’s property.
Is there not a peculiar strangeness
in the fact that every Southern Con
federate Congressman has had the
courage to vote for every bill pension
ing the Union soldier? In every South
ern State are s.-en one-legged Confed
erate soldiers, but they seem to be but
little the object of the States’ care.
Borne oi the States have made limited
provisions for the mained ex-soldier ot
•he Confederacy. No Southern State is
*o poor but that it cculd make some
and a greater provision for wounded
and disabled soldiers caused in defense
©f a common principle and who sacri
ficed the vigor of his youth upon the
alter of bis eouutry.
It is a partial puzzle to us as to
why the Atlanta Constitution took
the pains to pnblisli the editorials of
one or two country weeklies favoring
the payment to the lessees of the State
road full costs of betterments, but failed
to notice in any manner the editorials
of the numerous country weeklies ad
vocating a different course. Only to
the extent and in the respect mention
ed the great daily of Georgia has been
perfectly neutral. Jl is the country press
that is always nnahackeled from the
wealth and power of corporations and
monopolists, and npon it the people
ran always rely as the guardian that
will never betray tlrcir rights and
interests.
The finance committee has recom
mended the passage of the Dean bill
to sell the State roatl by twelve to
eight, but no safe conjecture can be
made as to its passage.
There may be some virtue in the
bill t > app lint a committee to exam
ine into the qualifications of railaoad
engineers and license them if they
stand the proper examination, but no
greater farce could he placed on a
statute book than a law disqnalifing
engineer on the account of color blind
ness.
It is pretty well ascertained that
<he Dean bill, which piovides for the
sale of the Western and Atlantic rail
road, will de reported favorably to the
Senate It will be a source of (rouble
to the State as long as the State re
ams possession of it, A good price
C an he obtained for it now, and the
money can be used advantageously in
paying the State debt.— Savannah
News.
In civil legislation there is a dis
tinction to be drawn between that
which is legitimate and proper and
that which is absurd and rediculous.
Laws of the latter nature are trouble
s >me and pestiferous in their admin
istration and execution. We do not
suppose that a legislative body seldom
sits in this enlightened age without
enacting more or less of such laws.
—
If we note correctly, the religious
presa is disposed to advocate and
urge the suppression of cigarett pack
ages containing pictures of semi-nude
actresses. In this respect the cigar
and tobacco shop hears a similarity
to the saloon. It does not seem fair
to rob an agent of the devil of its
crowning characteristic and attempt
to clothe it in the garment of respect
ability.
Texas Prohibition reminds us of the
manner in which they sometimes adopt
to catch monkeys iu South America.
A hole is bored in a gourd just large
enough for the monkey to get its paw
through. Nuts are put in the gourd,
and the monkey thrusts his paw
through the hole to get them, but it is
so greedily disposed that it grabs
every nut that its paw will hold and
will not turn one o(jtliem lose, conse
quently it is not able to get its paw
out and is captured. Texas Prohibi
tionists ought to have imitated the line
of battle adopted in Georgia?—taken
oue nut (county) at a time.
No engineering scheme has ever
been projected on a more gigantic
scale than that of the Panama canal,
yet no undertaking of that nature was
ever in progress of which the world
knew less about. Reports as to the
progress of the work and the practica
bility of the canal conflict. One thing
certain, the French have unlimited
confidence in DeLesseps, or the pro
gress of the work and the misfortunes
that have befallen it have been falsely
reported with the purpose of defeating
the scheme. DeLesseps has secured
another large subscription from the
Fiench towards constructing the canal.
It is without question that there is
iu the North a predominating class
who believe that they have by divine
investment and by conquest of arms
the right to enact laws for the South
ern people. Rut such insane fools
have existed iu all ages, cli.nes and
countries. A national asylum ought
to be established iu which to confine
such idiots and some moans provided
to heal them of the infirmly. Surely
the weakness is not so ifiatoftil hut
that they could he taught that it is
none of their business if Georgia wants
to prohibit the education of her white
and black children in the same school
room by making it a penal offeuco on
the part of the teacher.
It is evident that there is a growing
sentiment favoring tho working ot th«
convicts on the public roads. Esti
mates as to cost have been made, which
in point of cheapness, is three to one
in favor of convict against free labor.
And futherinore, it is stated by those
who have had such experience, that
a convict will bo more work per day
than the common hired laborer in
acadamizing a public road. In adopt
ing the system there is something
more than mere eccnemy to the State
to be considered. It must be consid
ered that it benefits above all others
the most material interest of tho coun
try. It will not only enhance the
value of farming lands, but the
farmer every facility for marketing his
products anil saves him expense in
many kiuds of farming operations.
The Tide of Time,
The tide of time rolls onward swiftly flowing
Hays months and years are from us fleetly go
ing,
And keeping pace, we are forward inarching
to the grave
Surging in one vast and countless human
ware.
To-day we aro blithe, happy, joyous free and
gay,
Tomorow we aro sad dispondent, and sor
rowful on the way.
Whilst in our bright and happiest mood
We wish that time would stem the rolling
flood
Yet when sorrow one lives to blight
Despondency reigns, and we heed not its
flight.
Life’s pleasures we would wish to remain
forever
But of woes wo’vo enough, our heartstrings
to sever.
Yot the ceaseless ages of time will roll on
When our bodies lie ia dust our spirits be
gono
We cinnot stay, wo must bid the old world
adieu,
And try the stern realities, of a world tbats
new
For no one would risli on this wicked sphere
To dwell always in doubt, affliction and care
Man’s mission on earth seems to us a mys
tery
And to solve the great problem we’re given a
history
That is full of truth and hope, the only guide
'Tis the story of our Savior who bled, suf
fered and died
That through hi precious blood,'man recieve
salvation: 5
From Adam’s sin and first great transgression.
Since our lot here is what it must destined bo
Wo should from the dread curse of tempta
tion flee
Heed the warning preceptiofhis word wtach
and pray
That we ever be ready to meet the great'day
When Christ shall como his reign to begin
In a land that is free from death sorrow and
sin. Wii.l Nicholas

A tough story is told by the Oarksville
(Ga-) Advertiser, as follows: “McKay cut

gray squirrels, two crow’s nest, and and a
swarm of bees, and two other small animals
got away.’’
