Beginning with this issue, the daily ®dition of Tux Tkibune-of-Rome will he sent to subscribers at the following reduced rates: One year, $6 00; six souths, $3.00; three months, $1 60; one month, 60 c ts. The cash will be required invariably in advance. Parnell’s campaign seems to be di zacted principally in ths direction of his awn profit. That stranger, the sun, visited Rome yesterday. If he had announced his com ing a brass band would have met him. After all, it seems that .Statesman Livingston’s voice is not for peace. One of these days be will wish that he had been born dumb. Im the abstract, the president of the United States is a mighty big man. In •the concrete, as at present, he is some times a m ghty little man. Wht does Editor Gann, of the Cuth bert Liberal-Enterprise, refuse to go ofl? Rru'AUt happenings in Atlanta suggest that ft oa„ .to unload himself. I A contemporary in another state cumbers Georgia among the “Hill veisa forßiair, Japan for Ingalls. Unless he should transport them to another world, the president could not send those two distinguished tongue stere fu’therinto exile. A female crank who claims Atlanta as her home, is sending circulars to the women of Georgia advising them to dis card the present mode of garbing them selves and wear trousers. The crank in f uestion should have been born a man. Statesman Livingston insists upon being investigated, but how? With open doors or closed doors? Everybody in Georgia is interested in the proposed investigation; let it be held openly, so thtt there may be no opportunity to ap ply whitewash to the investigated. The “Georgia Cracker’’ is an idea of ti>e brilliant mind that created the “New South.”—Dalton Argus.] Correctly ex pressed; and it may be observed that the «ame “brilliant mind” made as great a mistake when it suggested that many of the great Georgians of the past were •trackers as it made when it suggested that the “New South” owed the late W. T. Sherman, of the United States army, a 4ebt of giatitude. The “brilliant mind” :• sometimes sadly erratic. Elsewhere in this issue The Tribune 'publishes an interesting communication <jb the subject of marriage from “Jay Bee Pea.” “Jay Bee Pea” does not un derstand The Tribune’s position. In advising against marriage on less than SIOO a month, The Tribune has had reference to but one class of young men and but one class of young women. “Jay Bee Pea” deals with totally different classes. The Tribune is free to admit, however, that more simplicity in the anode of life would permit the classes to which it has had reference to marry and five comfortably on less than SIOO a month. But— It M possible to idealize even a mud cat. Hence The Tribune is not sur prised because Editor Pleasant Alliance Stovall, of the Augusta Chronicle, has 'temporarily forgotten the traditions of his youth and has idealized the Georgia cracker. But Editor Pleasant Alliance Stovall ought not to fling in among the crackers certain Georgians who have heretofore been considered a little above that lank and cadaverous and mentally invalid creature whose name is the same os the stinging end of a whip. But per haps Editor Pleasant Alliance Stovall is a member of the Augusta Y. M. C. A., and cannot help flinging up and down every ody within reach. EARLY TO BED. Tradition is not always trustworthy, but, despite the fact that it is the habit of Young America to lauch at "the g »od old times,” there is a tradition concern ing “the good old times” whicli, if not trustworthy, certainly ought to be. It is alleged by elderly persons who vividly rememb-r “(he good old times” that evening entertainments, wtieu they were young, b gau at an early hour, and ended, as a rule, at least by midnight Tnere was no lack of jollity at th«se en tertainments of the bygone. On thecou trery, all accounts of them agree that they were delightfully full of that inno cent fun which gives zest to the associa tion of young people with each other. Those who attended theseen’ertainments did not find it necessary to recuperate exhausted nature by lying in bed until noon of the next day. They wont to bed before the cock finished his midnight serenade, and they got up in timo t > par take of breakfast with father and mother and the other members of the famdy Health reigned in “the good old times,” and rosy cheeks among young women and muscular limbs among young mon prevailed. Alas! Tempora mutantur, et nos mutimur in illis! Now-adays, it is the rule for evening entertainments to begin at 10 o’clock and to end at 2 or 3 o’clock next morning Nothing has been gained by the change, but much has been lost. 11l health has resulted, and often pre mature death has followed. Serious in convenience, the least of the evils, has been caused to father and mother, and oftener than otherwise much valuable time has been wasted. Reform is needed. The young people and their parents should unite to bring about a return to the sensible and healthful methods of the “good old times.” Evening entertain ments ought to begin early and end early. The Tribune is not giving advice to the people of the antipodes; it is advising those who live here in Rome. What do those fellows think who sup ported General Gordon because they thought ho was“agiu” the alliauc> ? The Chronicle, Telegraph, A’bany News, Savannah News, Tbibune-of-Rome, and other papers are now as dumb as four schooner loads of oysters. The general is now an allianceman and that accounts for it.—Montezuma Record.] Surely, Editor Christopher is not the author of this paragraph. He is too well informed to believe that the journals named sup ported General G irdon because he was “agin” the alliance. As far as Ths Tribune is concerned, it thinks that General Gordon took the last step to make himself absolutely perfect when he joined the alliance—and The Tri bune hopes that he will yet get to be president of the alliance. SHORTER COLLEGE. It goes without saying that the people of Rome will regret to lose Rev. Dr. L. R. Gwaltney from the midst of them. They will regret to lose him, not only because of his long and valuable connec tion with Shorter College as its president, but also because his removal to another city will necessitate the sundering of many delightful ties of a social nature. But while the people of Rome will re gret to lose Dr. Gwaltney, they will re joice to gain the Rev. Dr. A. J. Battle, who will be Shorter’s new president. Few men in this country have had as long and as successful a career in educa tional circles as Dr. Battle. Born to the purple, so to speak, in matters of educa tion, Dr. Battle was for seven years pres ident of that famous school for young women, Judson Female In stitute, of Marion, Ala., president of the Alabama Central Female College, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., pro fessor in the University of Alabama for a term of six years, and president of Met" cer University, Macon, Ga., for a term of seventeen years. His renown as a scholar and an educator is not confined to the South, for in all sections of the United States where letters are held in high re gard he is known and appreciated. Under his able management Shorter will achieve results heretofore not thought possible. Prof. I. W. Duggan, who will conduct tue business affairs of Shorter, is well and favorably known throughout the state. He has never met with anything but suc cess in bis long career as the manager of educational institutions, and it is safe to assert that his influence will greatly in crease the number of pupils in attend ance at Rome’s chief educational estab lishment. Altogether, Shorter’s prospects are very flattering. The college should have the hearty support of the people of Rome, as it will undoubtedly have of the people of the State who live outside of Rome. Thk power of the press increases every day. For lack of better employment, a number of Georgia newspapers have glo rified the cracker by classing Alexander H. Stephens and B. H. Hill among them. In consequenca, more than one budding statesman is ready to take oath that he is a cracker, always was a cracker, and never will be anything but a cracker. If the same newspapers should class Steph ens and Hill among the idiots, the same budding statesmen would swear that they have been idiots from birth. Never say there is “nothing in the papers.” (There’s power in ’em, even though they be nothing but a conglomeration of pot metal. THE TRIBUNE-OF-ROME, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 15.1891. PROMINENT PEOPLE. Bkhant.—Mrs. Anni Bdaant can still attract trvnendotis audience- tn London whenever she consents to lecture. I.at’eily she has been attract'd by the new theosophy cult, and is diving pretty deeply into the occult mysteries of th l * new “religion.” She will visit this country next month. Smith -W. H. Smith is a level-beaded news paper man, even if he is a member »f parlia ment and a rabinsc minister, and has promptly sat down up »u a proposal to compel writers of arcic ee ap earing iu the papers to attach their name *to meh articles. He said it would be as absmd as io compel every man to sign the ballot which he cast iu an electijt. Roumania —The Queen of Rouinania has writ eua melodrama which should have been produced at the Burg tbe*tre at Vicuna, but it turned out to be so wildly and weirdly absurd iu plot and so bombastic iu language tba 1 . the manager in-isted that it it was produced there would not only be a i iot ir the audit nee but a strike among the employes, and so it was with drawn. Even a queen is not free from dra matic falurts. Peffer—Judge Peffer, the new Kansas sena tor, tuinks all young persons t>hou d be taught substant al handicrafts. He has eight chil dren, of 4boiu three are daughters. The boys have all learned the printers’ trade, and the eldest daughter aas been taught to set t»pe. One sou is a locomotive engineer. One daugh ter does amanuensis work and reporting, but also sets type The second daughter has been trained to keep accounts, and the youngest didghter is stenographer in the Kansas Farmer office, us which paper the father is editor. MY FRIEND AND RIVAL. i"“om the New York Herald. Our tastes are very much the same, In styles of beauty we agree; And, alth mgh he was not to blame, I th ughc it very hard on me, For did I chance a maid to woo Or love witn serious intent, My irieud and rival was there, too, Whenever to her house 1 went. Today our tastes h tve altered not; Alike in thought do we agree, Tuough varn-i is our worldly lot. I an: a bachelor, and he Is married—married to the girl I loved. I thought it once an awful shame, Ami, as the passing years have proved, He juit at present thinks the same. GEORGIANS. —Ex-Congressman Tom Grimes will practice law in Columbus. —Mr. R. J. Moses, jr., of New York, is one of the Georgians who has found life in the me tropolis profitable. He is practicing law there, and is making a great deal of money. —Mr. E. B. Hook, city editor of the Augusta < h r onicle, made a very fine report of the sad drowning of .» r Lamar and Miss Connelly, ne±r Augusta, last week. Mr. Hook has few equals as the teller of a story. —Senator Colquitt, it is said, will deliver tem perance lectures in the west during the ap proaching summer. He will be under the mat - agement of Mr. Marcellus Thornton, once well known in newspaper circles in Atlanta. Editor F. H. Richardson is demonstrating that he kn »ws how to make a live newspaper. The Atlanta Journal under his management grows brighter and better every day. His corps of assistants, too, is one of the ablest in the south. —Governor Northen did not make a mistake when he appointed Mr Virgil a member the zzwsrL aa. J rowers is thorougu.-y acquainted witn railroad affairs, and he is one of the purest and ablest men in the state. —Capt. Robert E. Park, the well known stock raiser, of Macon, is g >ing to Europe in June. He will see the old world with a large party piloted by Rev. 8. S. Sweet, who is also a resident of Macon. The party will be abroad about two months. —Mr Smith Clayton, the “Idler,” of the At lanta Journal, has undertaken to correct anum ber of abuses in the management of municipal affairs in the Gate City He is not afraid, and he spares neither high nor low in his denuncia tions of jobs and unrighteous deals. —Senator John B. Gordon will doubtless be the next president of the Georgia Farmers' Al liance. It is understood that many alliancemen are urging him to be a candidate for the office, but he refuses to seek the place. It is g ven out. however, that he will accept it if it be offered to him. —Mr. F. L. rtanton, of the Atanta Constitu tion, seems to be unable to write bad poetry. His n ost unambitious rhymes are always apt and pleasing, and his sentimental efforts are in variably of the highest order. Mr. Stanton and Mr. Eugene Field are the poets of all others in the United Stages who kn w how to sing so as to reach the heart. SMILES. “I’ll see you later,” as the boxer said when his opponent had closed both his peepers.—Texas Siftings. The treasury will bear the marks of the legis lative jimmy for some time to come.—Washing ton Poet. Buffalo Bill will visit Germany this spring. He will soon be able to shoot glass balls in tho German language.— Washington Star. When the average woman hasn’t anything else to do, she always feels as if *he would like to go out and buy sou etliing.—Somerville Journal. “Yes, but how do you know that Bluffkins is a married man?” “Oh, I am sure of ic. Just tee how happy he is when awaj from home.”— Boston Transcript. “This is a bad sign,” said Hicks, as the shin gle of Bludooory, Blithers & Co. was blown from its place and landed on his high hat.—Harper’s Bazar. “I can’t change my mind,” said Chappie, “I might have known that,” retorted his exasper ated partner. “There is no lower denomination in minds than yours.”—Exchange. OPINIONS IN ALABAMA. Sad, Very Sad. From the Birmingham Age-Herald. It is possible that the country has been prema ture in felicitating over Senator Blair's appoint ment to the Chinese mission. He has not yet accepted it and may decide to remain in Amer ica. Undoubtedly. From the Anniston Hot Blast. In the Tennessee legislature a b ll has been in troduced making any judge, using or having la his possession the free pass of any railroad, in competent to preside in any lawsuit in which scch railroad i ♦ interested. The bill is full of con mon sense and legal propriety and a similar law should be adopted everywhere. ABOUT ROME. —AugustaChronicle: “Col J. Colton Lynes has written a letter to The Tkibune to show that Rome is the place for the encampment. If poetry cou d settle the .question Colonel Lynes would carry his point. OPINIONS IN GEORGIA. It Should be Changed. From the Chattooga News. The old saying ‘’wheie there’s a will, there’s a waj.’’ fhouid be changed. Now where there is a will there in usually a conte-tint—especially if there is any of this world’s goods involved. A Monkey Shine Age. From the Calhoun Times. Bam Jones was not v.-iy wrong when he said that, this was a moukey shine age In society, in politics and even in the church we see every day stilted * fforts st display, a lavish bolstering up of emptiness and wind and shadow. ' They Have Done Little for Him. From the Augusta Chronicle. The demand made by negroes that the Pres ident shall “recognize” their race by appoint ing a negro commissioner to see to the due exhi bition o negro achievements at the World’s fair i-just. ihe president and the g. o. p. have dcue but little for the negro. The President is Discomfited. From the Macon telegraph. ’’.j'he news from Washington would lead one to infer that the president is much discomfited by thJ breaking up of his duck-hunting expedi tion. There were enough “dead ducks” around him ten days ago, a body woula think, to have made su -h a hunt unnecessary. But a good,well conditioned, Maryland canvas-back is a pret tier corpse, everybody will agree, than the de funct biped of the genus homo, and family re publicans. BIOGRAPHICAL. From the Washington Chronicle. One of our exchanges called attention to the nao-e of Editor Branham, of Tub Tbibune-of- Roms, saying that it is Alfred Irerson Bran ham. Editor Branham has a good right to the name as he is Judge Alfred Iverson's grandson His mother was Julia Iverson, Judge Iverson’s daughter by his first wile, through whom he is also connected with another of the best stocks in Georgia for wit and srnse. Judge Iverson married first into the family of Mr. Joseph Bryan who once lived at Mt. Zion, Ga., and who was the father of Mrs. Henry Cumming, of Augusta, and her sister, Mrs. Harvard, two ladies of the antebellum time, noted for good looks, wit and culture Maj. J. B. Cumming ii the son of one of them. Exactly what was the relation of Mis Branham's moth-r to these ladies, we cannot sav, but we know they were near kins women. Ir would be surprising indeed if Mr. Branham were not a success, for he comes all round from several or the best Georgia stocks Hr. Joseph Bryan, of Mt. Zi >n, who gave name toMij J. B. I umining, was a noble specimen of an early worthy. THE INDIAN GIRL’S LAMENT. From the French of Victor Hugo. Forget? Can I so-git the languid breath Os breezes, whispering of thee in mine ear; The strange awaking from a dream of death, The eu iden thrill o find thee coming near? Our homss were desolate, b it far away I beard thee calling me all thro’ that day; No one had seen thee .ass, Trembling I came, alas 1 Can I forget! 1 once was beautiful—my girlish charms Died with the grief th at from my bosom fell I Ah I [weary traveler! rest tn my arms, be no regret and no farewe'l I mother sweet, where waters flow, Hej ; y fatherland, who whispered low, ’S'^SMfeeWffpfSisySn^pfsyjr-'-- ———- FFiLed the clear summer air- Can I forget? Forget? My dear old boms must I forget? And wander forth, and hear my people weep? Far from these woods, where, when the sun has set, Fearless, but weary, to thy arms I creep; Far from bright flowerets and the palm trees' moan. I could not live—here letme rest alone— Got I must follow nigh! With thee I’m doomed ,o die. Never forget! OPINIONS IN TENNESSEE. Take a Rest, Sam. From the Chattanooga Times. Sam Jones “stamped the devil’s tail feathers,” welted mayors with sticks and wrestled with sinners and a sinful generation, until he is tired out, on the verge of collapse. Take a res: Bam. The Same in Georgia. From the Chattanooga Evening News. It is the honest belief of the Knoxvi le Tri bune that when the present legislature enacts a dog law, peaches will grow on pine trees. Tray, Blafiihe and Sweetheart are not voters, but they have a powerful influence with the sylvan sov ereigns who cast the ballots which make or un make legislators. The poor sheep is not in it. SENATOR WILSON’S ROMANCE. Senator Wilson, of Maryland, who died the other day, was very kind to a poor widow. She nad a pretty daughter, about whose education and other affairs she often consulted Judge Wilson, and left them in bis hands when she died, just as her daughter was grown un. He ettledupthe small estate, and advised the daughter as to ber plans. These plans were very judicious, but were all broken up by the judge himself, who fell in love with the pretty daughter and married her—a regular Maud Muller case. SUNDAY REFLECTIONS. From the New York H erald. Most men take life as they And it, doctors in particular. It is strange, but the dregs of a pot of “red paint” are always blue. It isn't safe t■> judge a man by the clothes he wears—they may b long to his roommate. As a rule the less folly a man is cursed with the more he dreads his own foolishness. Probably troubles never come singly because misery loves company. He who d >es right from principle is just ninety-four per cent ahead es him who does right from interest. The man who stands ready to break a lance with all self-opinionated opponents will fight more windmills than ever did Dan Quixote. LADY STANLEY. Lady Stanley, wife of the governor general of Canada, is an affectionate and motherly woman. Conspicuous in her private sitting room are photographs of her nine children, most of whom are de id. Often, as she walks on Parliament hill, Iu Oi tawa, in summer, they say, she stops the nursery maids, kisses the babies in baby carriages, a> d ta ka to the youngsters in the pe culiar oialect whi h they are confidently be lieved to understand so much better than straight Addisonian English. ODDS AND ENDS. Facts and Fancies Gathered in Mo ments of Leisure. Miss Clare de Graffenri o, who is a Geor gia woman of superior information and attaln im nts, has brought upon benelf much adverse eiiticiim on account of an article on the Geor gia cracker which she contributed to the Century M..g,zini not longag t. From my standpoint, it is suggestive that the most vehement objec tion to Miss de Gtaffenrled’s description of the cracker was written by an Ohioan who became a citizen of Georgia about ten years ago. By this 1 mean that I don't think those who object to Mi.«s de Gruffenried’s picture of the cracker ar very well acquainted «ith that individual. Os course if John C. Forsyth or H. V. John, son or Alexander H. Stephens or H. H. Hill were ci ackers, then both Miss de Graf fenried and I are mistaken. But, while more than one < istiuguished Georgian may have had his origin in poverty, it doesn't necessarily fol uw that he was a cracker. My understanding of the word is that it applies to a class of uneducated and uuambltious persons who are found in inoie than one section of Georgia. It I am right, I have seen all tin types Miss de Graffenried de scribes, and, if time aud means would permit, I could pilot the defenders of the cracker to his haunts and show them specimens which would causa them to admit that Miss de Graffenried has not exaggerated. I don’t think there is any hope for the cracker. For at least a thousand years he has lived and had his being as a sort of dependent upon the Euglish-spiaking race. He never did take kindly to that sort of education which ele vates, and I am of the opinion that he never will. He is sui generis. He does not want to be inter fered with; and, if he were given a five years' course in the leading university of the country and compelled to spend twenty years In “the best society,” he would still be a cracker and glory in the fact. It isn’t possible to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I am afraid that most Southerners are a ifti le too sensitive. Peculiarities which are held up to view in stories and sketches must always be more or less exaggerated, for in no other way cau peculiarities be presented so that they will make a picture realistic enough to propeily im press the reader. Macadav declares that it isn’t possible to write an effective biography without caricaturing the subject. When pecul iarities of any class of Southerners arc described in newspapers or magazines, there is always a storm of protest. This is a mis take. The pro per thing to do, unless a gross and malicious misrepresentation is made, is to grin and bear it, just as the people of other sections do when their peculiarities are outlined in the periodic als of the day. In any ev> nt, it is labor wasted to howl in defense of the cracker. He is too iuertto care for anybody’s opinions, be they good or bad. An Atlanta man informed me, yesterday, that Mr. Josiah Carter, late of the Atlanta Journal, was negotiating for a controlling inter est in the Augusta Evening Herald. I doubt it. I don't think Mr. Carter will leave Atlanta per manently until he dies. The Rev. Chick Niles, of the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, is a bachelor as well as a poet. In the latter character he thus explains why he continues in the former: I ne’er adored a lovely maid, And swore to love through thick or thin, But I rej liced as days went on To see a rival suitor win. The Rev. Mr. Niles’ “poem” suggests this Inquiry: What's the matter with the Columbus girls? A negro preacher who bad been accused of appropriating chickens from another man's roost, kept quiet under the charge brought against him until he coaid induce the deacons of his church to gather in a few pullets from the same peich. Then he demanded an investi gation. At hli suggest! >n, the matter was re ferred to the deacons, and they acquitted him, of course. The story suggests that the Northen faction of the Farmers'Alliance would do well to appeal unto somebody else than Caesar. It is openly asserted in Atlanta that cer tain officials who are drawing salaries from the Farmers’ Alliance will soon have to go to work for a living or take up their abode in tho poor house. “I dropped on to a curious scheme in At lanta, the other day,” he said, as he took a seat on the left hind side of the top of my desk “Whatwasit?" I asked. “Why, the hotel men and boarding house-keepers down there have formed a combination to get the general assem bly t > call another constitutional convention.” ‘ Why?” “So's an article may be incorporated in the constitution requiring the general assem bly to remain in session from year’s begiuning to year’s end. You see, ti e hotel men and board ing house-keepers feel tha the state owes 'em something, and they know they can’t get what’s due ’em except through members of ths general assembly. The average member of the general assembly pays liberally for biard. Just you watch; you’re going to see a lig effort mide to call a constitutional convention when the gen eral assembly re convenes next summer.” I hare come to the conclusion that the most interesting news is the news that is sup pressed—that is, the news which is not permit ted to find its way into the newspapers when it is fresh. This sort of news usually involves prominent p-rsonages or great “deals.” It is known to but few, aud, as a rule, its publication wben it is fresh would work injury to those con cerned. I have in mind a piece of such news which one of these days is going to make a sen sation in Georgia. It is being very carefully kept from tbe public, but its very nature will eventually cause it to be published. Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Rome, Columbus and Bruns wick are all intere-ted in it. In imagination I can see now the astonishment which the people of those cities will exhibit when the story is told to them. But they will have to be patient for some months yet. K. C. I. A PROTOTYPE. From the New York Herald. The church was still as the parson read That dear old tale of the Prodigal Son, And many a worshipper’s eyes were dim When the cracked voice ceased and the lesson was done. Bat I caught a glimpse through the open door Os a figure, ragged, slouching, cold. I knew not why, but my thoughts recurred To the eon of :he story—that story old. As later I passed the vestry door I heard re-echood that joyful cry; The parson had clasped the wanderer As he cried aloud, “Safe home, my boy I” THE TRIBUNE-OF-ROME. —Augusta Chronicle: ••ThkiTbibuse-of-Rome is happy to announce that increa-ing patronage forces it to enlarge.
