Ga., aa Second-Clasa matter.
Fubltahed every Friday at the office of
The Courier, on Broad Street.
THE CITY'S NEED.
If there is one thing the city
needt as much or more than
hotel it ia a park, and while
park ia generally considered
aummer inatitution, yet we ahould
remember that our early aummer
ia probably not more than four
months away, just time enough to
prepare for it. The name park
usually calls to mind a combina
tion garden and menagerie with
some beautiful plants and flowors
and a few deoreped, unsightly
wild animals. Suppose that in
place of the wild animala we
should have an exhibit of works
of art and skill, pictures, embroi
dery, objects of mechanical skill,
eto. Of course the smaller pel
animals and rare and beautiful
birds would be acceptable and in
teresting. Such a place would
not only be interesting but would
tend to encourage and stimulate
the artistio talents of the people.
Curios and relics might be added
and as one object would be re.
moved to make room for another
quite often there would be a con
tinuous change and variety. X.
After all, the administration
cannot be waging a very severe
war in the Philippines, or else,
where, for the official reports
show that during the year ending
June 30, but three officers and
twenty-seven privates in the regu
lar army were killed. This ia not
bad when we recollect that some
70,000 men are now enlisted under
the flag. During the same period
of time three officers and thirty-
five prevates committed suioide,
and forty-six privates w,re
drowned, jilereatter the soldiers
variola posts will b»(taught
vim.
Here is to the National Democ
racy of the United States of
Amerioa; now the greatest har
monizing party known to history.
In one feeble effort, unwittingly
and perhaps unwillingly, you
came very near harmonizing the
entire nation on Republicanism
One more effort of the kind will
finish the job. Brethren, harmo'
ny is a good thing. In your next
effort please make it national.
But for God’s sake give a little
variation in the harmony. Will
you?
Now it is all over, the result ia
known, it ia very amusing to read
in the Guardian, of Manchester,
England, a dispatch fromNew
York, as follows, sent to that
paper just before the elec ion:
“There is a visible shaking the
previous Republican confidence.
Their affectation of certainty all
along has been overdone. No
Presidential election was ever so
one sided as they pretended this
one was to prove.”
The Republicans of Missouri
are rejoioing over the prospeot of
electing a Senator from that state.
It is about thirty years since Sen
stor Cockrell took bis seat in the
Senate, and it looks now as if his
time had come to gracefully re
tire, and rest upon bis laurels.
Fnly one other Senator hat served
longer, Allison of Iowa. But be
it said to the credit of Roosevelt
be has offered Senator Cockrell a
job if he wants it.
Under Governor F W. Higgins
of New York, the work of improv
ing the Erie. Oswego and Cham,
plain canals, will begin at a cost
of 1101,000,000. This great enter
prise will give employment to
thousands of men, besides provid'
iug for the future vast transpor
tatiou business of the Emoire
state.
“Two years from now,” say the
Republicans of North Carolina,
"we will take our state out of the
solid South column.” At the last
election they reduced the Demo
cratic majority somo 85,000. If
this operation is repeated the Old
North State will again come into
the Union.
Gov. Odell of New York recently
said: “I am looking for rest and
Bimply want to become a private
oitizen.” If these are honest
sentiments he has no intention of
ousting Senator Chauncey M.
Depew.
The voter “who Scratches" is
hflreafter to h« reckoned wO^b, at
least on Uassachusetts, Minneso
ta, Wisconsin, Missouri, Colorado
and Montana.
Mr. Thomas Taggart, of Indiana
says there is no explaining a
cyclone. He should read up on
weather bureau literature.
Grover Cleveland is very phi
losophical under the circumstan
ces. He has nothing to say.
After the election he took bis gun,
and with his dog, plunged into the
woods near Princeton, hunting for
small game. Mr. Taggart has
hied himself back to his ungrate
ful Indiana. Chairman Cowherd,
after the fourth of next March,
will attend to business in Mis
souri. A real lively election is a
serious business for some people;
it is much like a ten strike in a
bowling alley.

Senator Proctor, of Vermont,
as all who know him will agree, ie
a very kind, benevolent and grand-
fatherly sort of man. He thinks
well of old sohool teachers who
have been poorly paid and had
the misfortune to outlive their
usefulness. To make them com
fortable the rest of their days he
has given them hie honse in Rut
land, Vt., and with it a purse of
110,000, The Senator is very
wealthy and can well afford to be
generous.
The United States is very gener
ous with Its navy yard employees
engaged in building war ships.
It pays them per diem wages for
fifteen days' leave of absenoe and
for the seven public holidays of
the year- The ohief constructor
of the navy, Rear Admiral Oapps,
says the United State* cannot
build it* own battle chip* a*
cheaply as they can be oonstruo-
ted in private yards.
