As the days grow shorter the peo ple don’t—the good times be upon us. DoseiA Governor McKinley coi - sider crying over spilt milk an infant industry?—New York World. In June this yei r 16,000,000 chil dren were found to be enrolled in the schools of the United States.

The astronomer who discovered grass on the id<» n do<-s not stale officiai’y that • ths man in the moon” is a grass widower. Ox-tail soup has been run out of ! the Oriental market. To “a man j up a tree” in the Occident, it would ; seem that the “Pig-tails” w» re 1 crowding the soup now. Says the Augusta News: “As the I officers oi tut- Chinese army in Korea have pctitiomd tt.e home govern ment for v. mu-r clothing, it is evi dent that they think it will be a cold day when they win. ” Col. Oscar Brown, of Banks county, is out in a long letter in ' tfhich he renounces the Populist party and takes his place in the Democratic party again. He says there is no hope of the third party ever getting in power. The Rnpublicans of West Virgi nia are doing their best to defeat William L W ilson in bis race for congress. They are very much afraid of such men as the great tariff reform leader from W est Vir ginia,—Athens Banner William E. S. Fales, formerly vice consul for the United States at Amoy, has just returned from *• China and is now in New Y’ork As to the pending war, he believes ■vthat China has by the greatest xshance.for final success. Georgia's Supreme Court Judges say that Georgia needs more Su preme Court Judges. The jSupretre Court ought to know aud therefore the llubtler of Rome says lets have a couple more,and make Judge Joel Branham of Floyd, one of them. Clifton R, Breckenridge, the new minister to Russia’ will sail from New York on Sept, 22ud for bis post of duty. He will spend a few days at London with Ambassa dor Bayard, aud expects to reach St. Petersburg x about the end of October. They toil a story oi Lord Rosebeiy ami Lis dog, ' lutton, that is greatly to his credit, m a i.’ieu?h newspaper. It appears that on a certain occasion the Prime Minister was making a voyage between Liverpool and Dub lin, in company with “Mutton.” Everything went well until“ Mutton” began to frisk and gambol like a young lamb, and in nis excitement fell overboard. Lord Rosebery shout ed to the captain to stop the boat, but ‘.the latter refused, saying he couldn’t stop for anything lees than a man. Wbereuyon Lord Rosebery joined the dog, and the skipper was forced to bring to for the "man over board.’ 1 The Premier and Mutton were picked up wet, but wel', So it seems that dogs as well as horses re ceived distinguished consideration at Rosebery’s hands. G*v. Northen’s condemnation of English interference or investi gation of Southern lynchings, has the true ring to it—Thomasville Advertiser. Ring, ring, ring did you say? Seems like we have heard of “the hero of the Waycross war” trying on one occasion to prevent a ring being formed on Georgia soil. Wanted peace and a seat in the Un ited States senate so bad that he would call out the commonwealth’s army to further his ends. Bah such twaddle. Miss EHen Dortch’s bright weekly the Milledgeville Chronicle says: It is amusing to rote the peculiar ideas some men have about economi zing. We know a man whose wife wears the same hat for three seasons. Her husband is 100 poor to buy ;> new one, but he uses two dollars worth of tobacco and drinks a dol lars worth of coffee a month. Judge Hines will not meet Col" Atkinson on the stump, and as signs several evasive reasons for not doing so. The truth of th e matter is that Judge Hines knows his cause will not stand the force of Democratic argument, and that tie wouldn’t know how to pick him -elf up after Mr. Atkinson got J 'hroughwith him.—Athens Ban ner. He wore good clothes, drank fine wine, And puffed a fragrant Havana; His bank account was up in “G.” And his ad was in The Banner. —Athens Hanner.

But though he sleeps sound every night, Jerusalem ! what a rustler— Trade comes his way.

General Wai is in charge of the Huanese contingent of th« Chinese army in Corea. He is probably the i Wai they long have sought.— Au gusta News. That’s a nice Wai ta’kiug about the slant-eyed heathen gentle man. The Emperor of China plucked tie peaccok feather from Gen. Li Hung Change's cap—but that was nothing when compared to the great beds of feathers, stomped out of old Li Hung and his heath en soldiers, by the Japs. Lord Wolseley, who has just been created afield marshal in the English army has attained that rank at an earlier age than any non-royal officer since 1760. with the exception of the Duke of WeJ - ington. who becamo afield mar shal at 44. A man was killed ever in Tallapoo sa, Ala , last week for kissing a gnl We don't care to live ii? such an country as that. Boys, what would life be worth without »he privilege of kissing the girls?—Dal ton Argus. Governor Waite’s adjutant- general could give Li Hung Umtug a tew points on “bow to stick to peacock or other feathers when you get ’em.” THE HUSTLER OF ROME, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 20 1894 THE MEXICAN EXAMPLE The Two Republics, of the City of Mexico, says: “During the first six months of the present fiscal year more than 300,000 persons i lept in the public dormitory m the city, or to be more correct, the number of lodging.- furnished during that period amount to more than 300,000. To be sure it may lie taken for granted that many persons slept there many timesand some persons slept there probably every night. But even under these circumstances the number seems very large. In stitutions of this kind are not es" tablished for the benefit of habit ual beggars or tramps, and it would be better for the managers to have those who make a habit of sleeping there every night arrested and sent to asylums or institutions where they can be given work during the day. If this be done there will surely be less begging, and possibly less stealing, done on the streets.” If pauperism were as prevalent in Georgia the police stations of Atlanta would be called upon to provide lodgings for about 150,000 homeless people a year. Yet the Atlanta Constitution has during recent months frequently held up Mexican finance as an ob ject for American admiration. W e have been told by it that the silver monetary system of Mexico afford 9 encouragement to Mexican indus try and thereby enriches the coun try. f We would like to know who gets ‘i:e increased wealth when in the capital city 600,000 homeless peo ple apply in a year to the public authorities for shelter. Is it possi ble that the panic struck Mexico, too, in spite of the fact that there is not a gold dollar in circulation in the country and the coinage of sil ver is unlimited? The theory that the remains of an imals form tne raw material from which petroleum is formed by na ture is still held by snme prominent scientists. Must have been skunks andpumpkin bugs. The Italian Government has deter* mined to banish all convicted anarch ists to an island in the Red Sea, where some are already confined. Let the “reds’’ then capture the sea and paint the island red Charlie E,eade dvised all parents to have their sons and daughters taught shorthand. He says a good stenographer was safer from want and poverty than a great Git ek schol ar. The Augusta Chronicle speeks a parable in theso words: “The smal lest. measure of service to his party that any Democrat can give is to vote for the party nominees.
