During the last fiscal year the inter-

sum of Sl23, 9S2, 200, not a dollar of
which was lost by dishonest officials
Since the present commissioners took
charge of the bureau four thousand il
licit stills have been suppressed and
seven thousand arrests for Illicit dis
tillation reported. The great moon

great degree destroyed. Officials are,
however, still murdered with rather
alarming frequency in the south, in

as the cardinal principles of liberty.
As we reach the higher attitudes and
the cooler summer climate wheat be-
comes the staple. 1t will grow to per-
lection at elevations from 1000 to 5000
feet higher than those at which corn
will flourish. The great wheat belt of
the country is the yetunsettled north
west. Washington Territory alone
has capacity to produce three times as
much wheat as California has ever
grown, and the capacity of Oregon is
greater still. The entire region from
the Pacific ocean to the great lakes is
an almost continuous wheat belt, and
its producing power is beyond all cal
culation.

REBEL CLAIMS.

General Hancock has been bull
dozed, we regret to say, into the
publication of a letter concerning
"rebel claims" or, rather, a reply to
charges of Republican politicians an d
papers in relation to such claims ~
There was no occasion for him to do
so. But since be has seen fit to
write on the subject, it is grati6
cation to find that he speaks plainly,
not trying, as Garfield does too often,
to cover up his ideas with words. -
He says among other things:
The government can never pay
debt or grant pension or reward
of any sort for waging war upon it's
own existence, nor could be Undue
ed to approve or encourage such
debt, pension or reward. Nobody
expects or want such unnatural &C
ton. To propose it would be an in~f
suit to the Intelligence and honor of
our people. When rebellion was
crushed the heresey of secession in
every form and in every incident
went down forever. 1t is thing of
the dead past. We move forward,
not back ward. If | were President
| would veto ell legislation which
might come before me providing for
the consideration or payment of
claims of any kind for losses or dan
ages by persons who were in rebel
lion, whether pardoned or not
OF Union war claims" he says
"As hostilities were closed more than
fifteen years ago, claims of that na>
ture-now mostly in the hands of
brokers or persons other than the
original sufferers ale becoming
stale, and in my judgment, might
fairly be considered as barred by
the lapse of time, and if hereafter
entertained at all should be subjected
to the strictest scrutiny"

POLITICIANS.

After a man has hnrrahed for four
hours for Colquitt or Norwood, smok>
ed dozen cigars, qnaUeled with
his best friend and gone home as
mad as a wet hen, the question nat
nrally arises wherein does he get his
money back Suppose taxes are

yet for all this we are politicians.
Macon Telegraph.
We are not all "politicians"--oo
the contrary some of us are disgust
ed with politicians and their bull
doing methods. And if the press
would cease to be made party to
the quarrels of broken down office
seeking politicians, they would cease
to get up quarreIs, and the people
wouldn't be worked up to frenzy
The politicians cannot succ 'ssfully
fight their battles alone, consequent-
ly they by hattering inducements
seek fret to control the press in fur
theripg their designing schemes
Politicians have no use for editors
40 longer than they can use them.
This done, then they will "see you
later" A newspaper has a grander
mission to perform than to be the
puppet of auy politician, or the or
gan Of any one man. AS for the
JOURNAL it will not be the tool OF
any clique or faction, or scheming
politician. 1t is democratic to the
core, and acts from principle, adher
ing to honest convictions of duty and
right, as God gives us the ability to
see the right We seek to promote
the welfare, peace and prosperity of
our people; to build up home and
home enterprises and Industries, and
aid all laudable undertakings to do
good, bat never engaging 10 pulling

and Blanderer, we have the utmost
contempt. No, we are not all poll
ticians, but we will admit there are
too many for the peace of society

SENSIBLE MR.. BREWSTER.

Mr.. P. II. Bre wster, who formers
Iy published the Gainesville Senti
mel and then the Canton Cherokee
Georgian, is living in Alabama now,
and seems to take a sensible view of
affairs over here 10 Seventh District
of Georgia. In a letter recently
published he speaks of the sacrifices
of time aud money he made for Eel
ton, and complains that he was new,
err paid for these sacrifices. True,
he says that "Dr. FELTON,, 10 the
spirit of truly polite and courteous
gentleman, has often given me ex-
pressions of gratitude for the efforts
have made for his promotion )"
which seems to be about all the pay
Mr.. Brewster ever got, and we mag
me from the tone of the letter that
this was not altogether satisfactory.
The irony of the concluding para
graph of Mr. Brewster's letters as pub
Hshed 10 the CartersvilIe Free Press
is so bitter that we publish it, feel
ing that it Mr.. Brewster was 10 the
District now he would support the
better man" for Congress. Jud
Clements would get one more vote,
and the Rome Courier thinks there
are hundreds of good men in the
District who, like Mr.. Brewster, do
not intend to keep on working for
nothing and boarding themselves.
Mr.. Brewster says:
"ln conclusion, permit me to say
that | have great respect for DIR,
Felton's private and religious char
acter, a, d great admiration for his
eminent abilities as a statesman
and if still lived in the Seventh
Congressional District of Georgia, |
should vote for him with all my
might and all the time provided he
shall always run for Congress- and
provided no better a man shall OPP
pose him But there is one folly |
never would be guilty of again, and
that is to "work for nothing and
board myself" l remain, very tru-
ly, your friend, p. H. BREWSTER.
DR.. FELTON, could find it in his
heart to persiStently work and try to
secure fat places for his Radical
friends, such as Simmons aud Posts
master Hargroves, but his true and
tried Democratic supporters, who
have sacrificed time and money in
his behalf in electing him to
Congress to draw $1,000 a year,
are given the cold shoulder. Such
base ingratitude of DIR. FELTON, should
cease to be rewarded by Democrats,
whether independents or otherwise.
DR.. FELTON, cares nothing for the
people-its the big salary he wants.
He cliugs to a dollar with the ava
righteousness of miser How long
will democrats be hoodwinked by
such demagogue

Two stalwart men were working
at night in a Chicago freight yard.
Each had large kerosene lamp. A
quarrel arose between them which
ended in a fight. The lamps were
used as weapons, and were speedily
broken over the heads of the con-
testauts. The oil ran over them and
caught fire but neither would let go
his hold, and they continued the
struggle with their bodies enveloped
in flame, until both were disabled by
burning. One died Immediately, and
the other lived few hours.
