Tnt: Times this morning publishes u
talk with Chief Merrilield, of the tire
deptii tineiit. To the city council this
talk is respectfully and earnestly com
mended as contain mg much that is
food for thought and incentive to prompt
action in putting the lire department in
a more eflieicn t. condition.
There is a large sized nut for the
theologian to crack in the blowing down
of that, church steeple in Brooklyn the
other night, whereby several women
and children were killed. The Times
merely calls the attention of the breth
ren wpo know all about the operations
of Providence to this ghastly and horri
ble incident.
It is not :i good sign of tlie times that
every young man, able of body and good
of morals, advertising iu the papers of
tlie South for a place, wants to get be
hind a counter or in an otliee. Mot one
is hunting work at the roar end of a plow
or in shop, factory or mine. Soft snaps
arc in great demand by these young fel
lows with “A No. 1 references and
steady habits.”
The engagement of Mr. George Van
derbilt, scion of the rich Now York fam
ily of that name, and Miss Mary John
stone, a beautiful South Carolina young
lady, i- announced. There may be a bit
of i oinance connected with this affair
wh<“n it is further announced that the
collide lirst met on Reuucateber moun
tain, in North Carolina. The name of
the mountain is significant, at least.
The lovers of high art iu Brunswick
are numerous. Iu proof of this, witness
the throngs which stand entranced be
fore the canvas stretched along Monk
-treet, on which are painted the big bat,
the ferocious snake, lovingly entwining
the thirty haired female from a Turkish
harem, and the airy, fairy nymph poised
in graceful attitude on top of ono of
Oscar Wilde’s flower deities. Oh, yes;
art, high art, some ten feet high, lia
many ardent votaries iu Brunswick !
The Times urges the mayor and coun
cil to appoint a committee to visit
l.ieut. Carter with a view to getting a
-pedal recommendation of a sufficient
appropriation to finish the government
improvement at Brandy Point and also
an appropriation sufficient to dredge out
the new channel which is forming over
the outer liar. It is confidently believed
that a comparatively small appropria
tion will give a depth at ordinary high
tide of twenty-live feet, which would bo
of incalculable advantage to this port.
The grandest monument to Henry
• .rally will be that hospital which the
council and citizens of Atlanta have
determined to build and dedicate to his
name and in memory of his own noble
deeds of charity. The women of Bruns
wick are striving to complete the
hospital whose unfinished walls make
mute, but eloquent, appeal to the
generous and charitable of the city, as
well as the stranger within its gates, for
quick response iu substantial form, to
the appeal of these unselfish and devoted
ministrants in suffering humanity's be
half. Will you not make answer to this
“A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM."
The saddest sight seen in Brunswick
in many a day was that witnessed one
day last week, of a little girl leading
tier reeling father along the streets
towards the homo where the wife and
mother awaited their coming with an
aching heart and a face on which years
of trouble bail written its ugly story.
It was a sigh, to make the angels
weep and even careless men utter words
of pity and condemnation.
Into Hie saloon this little child went,
trembling of step and with fright in
every move. Her papa was in the
crowd of drunken men —brutes, rather,
and mamma had sent her for him.
Bo with brave heart, plucking up
courage n she saw the form aud heard
the voice of papa, this sweet angel cf
salvation gently took his trembling hand
in hers, and with a “Come, papa, let’s
go home,” she led the besotted father
out of the place and buck to her who
still loved him.
How true it is time a little child shall j
lead them, these fathers who have fallen
down tlte steeps, whose fair promises
have been broken, whose former life is
but as a dream and whose love of wife
and wee ones as they came, has been
•snatched away by the accursed hand of
a demon driven out of hell!
Yes, many a child leads out of sin and
slmme and degradation,, as did this om
her papa. Leads him back to sobriety,
to manhood, to wife, to home, to God !
That is one side ot the picture. The
other? Ah, well, swiftly sweep tlte
brush across it aud let naught remain to
tell of its hideousness, its pathos aud its
ruin.
But there are other fathers, and moth- j
ers, too, to be led by these weak, yet |
strong, little bauds. Led back to the 1
old love, back into the sunshine of that
affection which once flooded their hearts
and gave to their lives the halo of beauty !
and fell along tlte outst retching pathway
with a light fresh from heaven. Back
to the days when there were sweet peace i
and sweeter communion of souls. Back i
to the days when the fragrance of the I
bridal wreath perfumed the new home, i
and the echo of the wedding bells!
sounded through all tlte da}sand nights. 1
Hack to the darkened room, where i
hushed voioes gave welcome to the first
I dodge of love aud the wife felt for the i
first time the strange ecstasy of mother
love !
“A little child shall lead them !”
Strange power, mysterious strength,
divine ministration! Bweet innocence
walking where strong men fall, aud ye 1
stumbling not. Blessed, safe, kept as by
the all-Father, is he whose hand clasps
and is clasped by that of one of these
little ones !
GEORGIA'S GREATEST LUMINARY.
For that learned, dignified* and honor
able body, the Supreme Court of the
State of Georgia, The Times, the com
mon people, and even a few lawyers,
have the profoundost respect and most
courteous deference. It is even con
ceded that, as a body, the justices of the
peace give unquestioned oflicial acquies
cence to the opinions of the common
wealth’s court of last resort.
But not every one of these justices has
that regard for the Supremo Court his
brother dignitaries so generously con
cede, At least there is one in LaGrc.nge
who does not, uor is he the least backward
about coming forward in giving expres
sion to his feeling of disregard, not to
say contempt, of the interpretation of
tlte law which has from time to time
been handed down by such tyros as
Chief Justices Lumpkin, Warner, Jack
son anil Bleckley, aided by their coadju
tors on the bench.
The other day this eminent Troup
county combination of Blackstone, Coke
and John Marshall, in charging a jury in
a case wherein grave issues were involved,
the same being the worth of a shoat with
a tail longer than its body, gravely said ;
‘‘l congratulate myself, geutlemen,
upon the tact that I am not. required to
tell you what the law of tiis case is.
Ordinarily the court has seme opinion
as to what the law is of cases tried be
fore it, aud in regal'd to the statute in
volved in this case I, or any sensible
man, might have known what it meant
fit had not been tinkered with by the
Supreme Court to the extent of putting
its true meaning beyond tlte comprehen
sion of any man of ordinary intelli
gence.”
The Times regrets that it cannot give
the name of this lucid expounder of the
law and master of bold sarcasm. But
t hat he is known at least five miles from
home The Times does not doubt. He
should come forth into the greater light
or he may soon be discussing the weigh
tier matters of the law with Mr. Me
< <iuty.
jTHE HOSPITAL.
It should be completed at once,
furnished and tun ed over to tlie city
The rapid growth of Brunswick de
mands it.
There are sick people here who can uoi
be properly cared for at their homes
strangers are taken sick at the hotels and
elsewhere here, in crowded boarding
houses, where they cannot receive the
care or have the quietness necessary to
tlie sick. There should be a pay depart
ment, and all who are able to pay should
lie required to do so, as a means of creat
ing a fund to assist in properly support
ing the establishment.
Tlie suggestion is made that Hie
ladies, who have so long struggled with I
this enterprise, agree to turn it over to j
the pi", upon ion! ton that a fund'

is raised within sixty days to complete
aud furnish it, and that upon comple
tion it be turned over to the mayor and
council as its trustees, upon the con
dition solely that a specific sum he set
apart for its support.
Who will upon this basis start the ball
rolling? Brunswick cannot afford to let
this work lag.
by way or Jacksonville.
Here it is, by way of a special from
Atlanta to the Jacksonville Tirnes-
Union: The resignation of Capt. Felix
Corptit as president of the Alliance Ex
change was brought about by Col. Liv
ingston, president of the State Alliance.
( apt. Corput opposed Livingston in the
latter’s gubernatorial aspirations, favor
ing Hon. W. J. Northern, another. Al
liance light.
The president of the State Alliance
went quietly to work to have Corput’s
salary reduced from $3,000 to tJuJICO.
and succeeded. Ho knew the head of
the Alliance Exchange wouldn’t stand
the cut, aud so he got him reduced to
ranks. This was a sharp move on the
part of Col. Livingston, if tlte story is
true, aud shows that the colonel is no
slouch when moving on his political
enemies.
Tho fight within the ranks of the Al
liance for the governorship may y<r? be
a bitter one, lur both Livingston and
Northern are avowed candidates and
neither has any love for the other, la
I act, they have already crossed swords,
aud have been snarling at one another
over this particular bone.
ODDS AND ENDS.
Facts and Fancies Gathered in Moments of
Leisure.
* * * I had a letter yesterday from a
widely known citizen of Atlanta which
contained some information I have con
cluded to make public. “You will find. ”
the letter says, “that at the right time
F. G. duliignon will be brought back
into public life. I have recently talked
with prominent young Democrats in
half a dozen cities of the State, aud it is
their opinion, almost without exception,
that dtißignou must be compelled to
make the race for Governor. My in
formation leads me to believe that du-
Biguon will not be able to resist the
pressure that will be brought to bear
upon him. lam satisfied that no other
man is more likely to be tho next Gov
ernor.’’
* * * I have recently been t~ld that
Governor Gordon favors dußigiion as
his successor. 1 don’t suppose that
Governor Gordon will make a public
declaration to this eft’et, but bis in
fluence privately exerted would be
powerful.
** * A citizen of Brunsw elf \ >o
" -v
was in Savannah a few days ago, says
that he was told while there that Senator
Joseph E. Brown had expressed a desire
to have a Savannah man elected Gover
nor. I believe the Senator would sup
port dußiguon.
* * * Commissioner of Agriculture
Henderson is the only State House of
ficer who will have opposition at the
next election. I don’t think he has the
strength in South Georgia he deserves,
but the indications point to his election,
nevertheless.
* * * Before the spring time comes
Brunswick society people will witness a
wedding which will be a surprise.
* ** Unless you know what it means,
don’t put on his hat. The lines which
follow may suggest the reason why :
She put on my hat;
I)ld she know what it meant ?
On the sofa we sat
As she put on my hat
(It was long ere I went);
Yes, she knew what it meant.
' • * The most notable change in
Brunswick during the last few years has
been caused by the substitution of brick
for wood as building material for struct
ures on the business streets. When 1
first visited Brunswick there was but
one brick building in the city; now
there are scores,
* * * The editorial page of the At
lanta Constitution continues to grow in
strength.
* * * One of the brightest and best
newspapers I read is the Jacksonville
Times-Union. It would grace a eitv
ten times larger than Jacksonville,
* * * A fortune awaits the man who
will build a first-class opera house in
this city. K.C. I.

To-day may be ours. In joy or in sorrow,

Thy many graces, who cun tell?
Goodby, hut happily not farewell.
STATE PRESS.
Governor Hill is Right. .
From the Augusta Chronicle.
Gov. Hill believes that the foreign 1
system is cumbrous; that it is expensive; j
that it eutails largo expense upon tlte i
State in requiring it to print tickets for I
camliilntes, and that the design is to j
inive the State do for the citizen what j
tile citizen should do for himself. He j
believes that a man should be allowed i
to present his own ticket at the polls j
anil that the managers should accept it,
rattier titan that he should be required to ;
make his murk upon tlte oflicial sheet
furnished him by the managers. Gov .
Hill speaks in the interest of the largest i
liberty and the greatest personal privi- i
leges consistent with the public welfare.
Tlte conditions of foreign colonies aud j
monarchies are uot the conditions of the
American Republic. Gov. Hill
recommends the passage of a law which
will provide for secret compartments
for the voters, and claims that this i
would do tn licit to prevent corruption
aud would secure the chief benefits of
true electoral reform. In his opinion
tlte general registration of the electors
throughout the whole State should be a
part of the system.
He Is Against It.
From the Augusta Evening News.
Ex Governor Bullock of Georgia takes
strong ground against unnecessary inter
ference by the general government with
the internal affairs of States, and warm
ly urges that prompt measures be adopt
ed throughout the South for the enforce
ment of law and the preservation of
order and good relations between the
races, to the end that there may he no ex
cuse for Federal intervention. The pro
gramme of centralized rule lias few
friends among Southerners, even those
of Republican antecedents.
Senator Edmunds, Attorney.
From the Macon Telegraph.
Senator Edmunds, the alleged politi
cal purist, standing up before the people
of tlte United States as the apologist of
Dudley anil his ue'arious schemes, pre
sents a striking picture. Roscoe Conk
liug used to call Edmunds the attorney
of the Republican party. The term fits.
He seems to consider himself retained
for the defense of tlte chief of sinners so
long as he wears tlte party badge.
What is Wanted.
From tlie Atlanta Constitution.
What is wanted is not so much outside
law, but more law anti order in the fam
ily. Men are made or married at the
fireside. No artificial daddy with a par
cel of statutes, formal fiubdub and text
books can lake the place of the natural
daddy with his love and common sense,
and big hickory. When a man makes
the right kind of laws for his own family
and executes them, lie need not bother
himself about State laws and courts, ilis
boys will uever need the Legislature, a
bench of judges, and a sheriff’s posse to
keep them straight.
