the Hawaiian question,—Hales

is the largest tax levy in the histo

“There has been mere fr«»sh
meat fought to Douglasville this
winter than any year in the past
five,” remarked a prominent mer
chant a few days ago. This speaks
well for the farmers of Douglas
county, and henceforth they will
have their smokehouses at home.
—Rochelle New South.
An upstart congressman, says
the Bristol Courier, daied to beard

reference to some appointments in

“Do I look like a man to be bluff

“No nor to me. Yon look like a
dammed o'd sea cow.”

the Secretary of the Stale the other,
• day for a charter, in its declaration
I. ’
■it stated its purposes to be “to or-1
I ginize and unity associations of la
, boring men and issue charters there
to, un ier th seal of the order; to bear
arms, equip and drill and diseiplin
the same for mutual protection, pur
suant to the Declaration of Indepen
dence of the United States.” Tie
charter was refused by the Secretary
of the State. ”
COIN THE SEIGNIORAGE.
Now that the secretary of thetreas
ury has provided for the sirengtlien
ng of a gold reserve in the treasury
sa as to make reasonably certain the
government’s ability to maintain the
parity of its various kinds of curren
t'-
ll is time to consider ths pro pnety
if coining the so called seignior
age of the silver bullion in the treas
ury. We see no good reason now
why it should not be coined. It is a
part of the assets of the treasury.
At some time it is sure to be coin
ed, for it is certain that the govern
ment will never put it on the market
for what it will bring, and so much
wealth cannot be permitted to remain
indefinitely locked up, remaining
unavailable ;n I useless. Then why
not coin it now?
To have added $57,030,000 to the
amount of silver money in circulation
at a time when the gold reseive
amounted to only $70,000,000 and
the bank» were loaded down with
money they could not loan would
certainly have been dangerous.
W e think it no longer dangerous
when arrangements have been made
io largely increase the reserve. It is
certainly better to coin the seignior
ige than to borrow $56,000,000 to
meet current expenses while allow
ing so valuable au assert to remain
ensued.—Macou Telegraph
THE NEXT SENATOR.
The Savannah papers effect to look
upon Major Bacon as a combination
man because he is such a good all
round player.—Macon News.
The governorship campaign is
warming up rapidly. The senti
ment for Mr Atkinson is growing
everywhere. Young, able, active,
worthy the state long since it learned
fc hat it can trust him, —Franklir
News and Banner.
The Atkinson boom is spreading
like a prairie fir*’.—Lawrenceville
News.
If Atlanta papers are to be credit
ed, and of course they are, the
gubernatorial ehair is still ebbing
Gen. Evans all around the
o
Way cross Herald.
W Y Atkinson is our man for
governor, and we’ll take Evans for a
preacher.—Baxlay Banner.
A large majority of the country
papers are for Atkinson for governor
while most of the dailies are for
r.vans. By the way Gen Evaus lives
on Peachtree street Atlanta. If he
is as good a preacher as is claim ed
looks like he might have done some
t nng for the moral welfare of bis
neighbors. It does.—Chattooga
News
CAN THIS BE SO?
Rev C. A. Evans, in writeing to
the Methodist ministers of the State
for their support, by the way of
apologv for being in the race, says
that it is not his own feelings, but
■he demand of friends, that prompts
him to make the race, or words io
that effect. This being the case, we
think less of the General’s candidacy
than ever.—Dublin Post.
In a fire department, it is a bad

QUOTH THE COCKERILL.
O ce upon a midnight dreary,as
I pondered weak and weary, in a
state of sleepy stupor on the quiet
Senate slur; while I nodded,
slumber seeking, suddenly there
came a squeaking, as of some one
always sp li king, sp aking on the
Senate floor. “It is only Cockerill,”
thought I, “speaking on the senate
floor —only that and nothing more”
“Cockerill, ’ said I, quite em
phatic, "Populist or Democratic,
whether fate or some worse evil
s nt thee to this Senate floor, can
not you but once be quiet from
tbi- everlasting die s , from this
weary w»ntou riot of just talk, and
talk so poor? Is there, is there any
respite? I'ell me, tell m , I im
plore?'’ Quoth the Cockerill,
“Ni v.-rmore.”
“But the times are dull and
dreary, all the land is tired and
weary, nd depression rules in ev
ery factory, mill and retail store.
While you stand there talking,
talking, danger through the land
is stalking. Cease this weary, end
less balking. Take a vole at half
past four. L t us vote at least by
Christmas, if we cannot vote bo
fore.” Quoth the Cockerill, “Nev
ermore.”
So the Cockerill never firing,
never weary, still is filing columns
of t.ie direst speeches ever mortal
heard before, and his eyes have all
the seeming of a demon that is
dreaming, aud the light that upon
him streaming shows an empty
Senate floor. Still he talks and
talks, although he knows he is an
awful bore. Will he stop? Ah, nev
ermore.- Exchange.
A GIRL OF RARE TYPE.
There is one type of young girl
that is irresistible to e»en the most
blase worldling. She is so frankly
young and so effervescent in her
happiness that one forgives the
little arrogance of spring-time that
she can r.o more help assuming than
she can help breathing. She is a
sweet aud dutiful daughter, recog
nizing the love her parents shower
upon her and returning it with a'l
the freshness of pure affection.
Though the whole world pets her,
she in not spoiled and realizes that
the experience of older people is well
worth abiding by, aud the advice
and councel given in good part is re
ceived by her in the same friendly
spirit. Moreover, she is a sensible
slip of a girl, who understands that
life is not all playtime and that so;-
sow and duty creeps in and must be
met in the cherriest spirit possible.
She is not too good to be cernpan—
ionable. for she is full of woman’s
natural instincts and impulses, but
her heart is right and her watchword
is to make the most of life as it comes
along, shouldering the burdens with
meekness, entering into th* joy with
enthusiasm and sharing the sorrows
of others with genuine sympathy.
St e is a good daughter and a charm
ing friend, and she is bound to be an
agreeable wife for the man who is
fortunate enough to win her.—Phil
adelphia Times.
