'France and Germany (keep shaking fis's in each other’s faces, but fee European war seems as far off as ever. The Macon Telegraph has temporarily ■extirpated the ozone out of the Atlanta ‘Constitution. Yes, knocked thewind out of it. ■ Alt, that is lacking to make the -South the commercial Eden of the world is icnough cotton factories, sugar refinciies mid coal and irou industries over Dixie to manufacture and develop all our products. The South would he belter offwith free tiade than with protection as it now is, but the North would be damaged by trade. A reasonable protective tariff would be justice to at 1 , aud justice to all is God’s appointed way. Sasi Jones speaks of Congress in a general way as a set of drunkards. There are many better men in Congress than Sam Jones, and they are ton noble to denounce The Prattle Mouthed Rev. as he she Hid sometimes be denonned. arc public at large as an able and ingenious .set; and perhaps the State press is not ad pireciated too highly, but there are more talented plagiarists among them than is .supposed. This sin should be frowned, upon by the more honest journals. Ir is strange how some people will mix the grave anil the gay. A grave digger, nnd the sexton of Walnut street Prcsbyte lian church, at Louisville, Ky., have just been bounced for keeping a poker room in the chnrch steeple, where they played ■while the congregation worshipped. Crawford ought to be one of the lead¬ ing counties in the state, and would have; been long ago if her people bad not been so indifferent to their advantages. Tin may be looked upon fev a few people in other comities as nothing but newspaper j gas, but we can back up oia statemeut with solid facts. Jay Hukbei.l has sufficiently recovered from the shock of his recent defeat, to say a woid or two about politic;;. His re¬ marks are not personal to himself, but relate to Mr. Blaine, whom he dcsiguates “the ripest statesman of the age.” This is probably tine. Mr, Blaine wag plucked in. 1884— Savannah Morning News. A pasty of Chicago men have bought tho old Libby prison in Virginia, and will gC-eroct it in the city ot big footed women Of course they will charge ten cents ad¬ mission fee—there's the point! Next thing wo know some yankee will come South af¬ ter the bisr hole in (he ground out of which -so many yankees and negroes were blown into fragments with powder. Sam Jones speaks ot the members of Congress as a set of drunkards who have shoe strings for backbones, and said that they knew what-ought to -be done it) deal¬ ing with the infamous tariff, but were afraid to do their duty. To a certain ex tent-he is.perfectly right. With the whole country crying for tariff reform even the most timid of our congressmen might take a bold stand on the 'issue. The Govern¬ ment needs more men like Grover Cleve¬ land. Certain one-horse editors who do not seem to understand anything about the great question of tariff reform have taken sides with the “pr< tection” party, and arc spouting about protection and free trade. They attack‘tariff reform journ .ls thinking that tariff reform means free trade. Ev¬ ery Southern man who is not interested in the factory business and understands the Issue is tor tariff reform, or’else ho is a re¬ publican. There are scarcely any free trade papers in the-country. Savannah- people and Florida people would have the public believe that Presi¬ dent Cleveland will pay a short visit to the great Georgia seaport and to the Sub Tropical 'Exposition at Jacksonville next Wednesday, and it seems likely ’that our chief executive wifi take the trip with ’the mistress of the While House. Thousands will .go to-see them if they -pass through Savannah. The President’s bold stand for tariff reform lias endeared him more than anything else to the hearts of the common people as well as our best citizens. Tirs bid -pending l<sfore Congress to -compel the inmiufacntrers of c>inipotnd lard to bland their g-cds so that the pub¬ lic will in t be deceived in buying, is a good one, although some‘'Southern journals take the stand that it is not, because the law -would injure the sale of cotton oil. The operation of this law would enhance the value of eolton -oil, if large grocery dealers tell the tenth; forffhey say that the compound ai tirle is better than pure hog lard, and the compound, so branded, would raise the price, thereby making cotton oil more profitable. Prominent Prohibitionists are making strenuous efforts to have Congress pass a law breaking up the srle of liquor iu the District ot Columbia. As a leading plea b,r the passage oftfee hill they ho d that the use of whiskey caused the war of the Rebellion ; in that, as the use of whiskey among the congressmen of that day not only general but immoderate. They claim tiiat if tlie French Assembly were to drink half as much liquor in a day as was consumed by the old Congress in the same time, France would declare war against Germany in twenty minutes. There is something in this. The Uu’ttvl States Consul at San Sal¬ vador urges tlie gieat importance of a trans-isthmian railway across Central America, aiwS gives for one reason the fact that a speedy and safe transit would less¬ en the danger of travelers contracting fever which is so easy to contract in tin t latitude. A number of interior towns theie get coal amd iroa at present from Austra¬ lia ; tbo coal costing $20 to $30 a ton. and the iron costing in the same ratio whr* compared to prices existing here. This railway would give Alabama a chance to sell all the coal and iron in a part i f Cen¬ tra! America, since it cau lie hauled to the Pacific coast over the trans-isthmian Toad and sold at one-third the cost of the Aus¬ tralian product It is plain that the Gov¬ ernment needs to construct this road* The road from town to the railroad sta¬ tion must be improved or the plac/k will suffer on account'd!' the bad road.
