The Discovery of Diamonds in Brazil.

Often. down to 1929, the gold hunters
had noticed, in the bottoms of the bowls
in which they washed the river sands,
little bright crystals, to which they at
tached no value The brilliancy of these
CRYSTALS, their hardness, and their regu-
lar form, as if shaped by the hand, had
indeed attracted the attention OF the
miners, and many bad saved them to use
as counters in play; but gold alone had
any value in the eyes of these adven-
turers. At this epoch, according to the
least uncertain tradition, monk, who
had taken part in the search for dia-
monds in India, recognized the nature of
these counters. He told his discovery to
a certain Bernardo da Fonseca Lobo, who
made it known in his name to the POrtu-
Quese Government. The King imme-
diately took possession of all the lands
where the presence of diamonds had been
recognized, and where it could be sus-
pected.
Bernardo received as his reward the
title of Royal Notary and the command OF
the militia of the most Important city OF
the region. The name OF the monk was
forgotten. l do not believe that the
name of either could have been popular at
Minas, for their discovery, which threw
hundreds of millions into the treasury of
the Kings of Portugal, was the origin OF
one of the most de, potic rules that any
country ever had to endure.
The first diamonds were found in the
sands of the brooks, and in these sands,
or, to use the Portuguese expression,
which has passed into nearly all Ian
guages, cascalh0s, still constitute the beds
that are principally worked. But beds
of an entirely different nature, situated,
like mines of metals, in the midst OF the
strata, and of corresponding depth, nave
been brought to notice in later years.

Increased Transportation for savan-

The establishment of a tri.weekly
ocean steamship line between Savan-
nah and New York, as foreshadow-
ed in the recent letter of General
SOrrel to Mr. James L. Taylor, General
Freight Agent of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railroad, will be good news
to all shippers from this port, but more
especially to the truck farmers, who are
contemplating an immense increase of
their business next year. General Sorrel
says in his letter: owe expect to pro-
vide in this quickened and increased
schedule for all the business that may be
offered u.s." clearly intimating to the
truck farmers the will and ability
of the steamship company to meet
every demand that may be made upon
it. This assurance will greatly stimulate
and encourage the business of truck
farming throughout the sections now en-
gagged in it, and start up new ventures
in various localities along the lines OF
transportation. Already we hear of ex.
tensive preparations along the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway and its
branches for opening new farms, and it
is estimated that, with favorable season 8,
the crop of next year will double that of
the present.
Truck farming around Savannah, on
the neighboring islands, and along the
inland waters of the coast, is also on a
boom from the successes of the season
just closed, and stimulated by increased
facilities for shipping, with probably re-
duced rates, Chatham county will soon
take the lead in this branch of business,
as her convenience of location and
adapiability give her a decided ad-
vantage. She should be famous all over
the North for the excellence of her early

Our Macon contemporary has been
terribly disgruntled ever since Mr..
Stephens received the Democratic
Gubernatorial nomination in Atlanta. It
positively refuses to be comforted, and
at length has declared that Mr. Stephens
is not the choice of the Democracy, that
there is no enthusiasm over his nomina-
ton, and that therefore the Democracy
should call another convention and
select another candidate.
Mr.. Stephens received 1876 votes on the
first ballot in a Democratic State Cor
vention of $50 delegates. If that does
not make him the choice of the Demo
cracy we would like to know what
is necessary to determine a choice.
There is no special enthusiasm over his
nomination because his election is re-
garded as a foregone conclusion, and as
the opposition to him is so feeble as not
to excite apprehension there is no neces-
sity for any excitement.
Our contemporaries suggestion is sim
piv preposterous. Mr.. Stephens nomi-
nation as we'll as his incumbency of the
office of Governor of Georgia for the
next two years, are frozen facts. If our
contemporary desires to support the
Democratic ticket, it will have to swal-
low the dose. If it does not, it has the
choice of two other alternatives-either
to advocate General Gartrell's claims, or
hire a hall and brass band and start a
little party of its own.

Reports have been industriOusly circu-
lated about the State to the effect that
Mr.. Toombs had expressed himself in
Characteristic and in no complimentary
terms regarding Mr.. Stephens ability to
fill the executive Office of Georgia, to
which he is to be elected in October
next 1t really makes no difference what
ever to the people of Georgia nova
DAYS what Mr.. ToOmbs says, and so, if
this report had been true, it would
not have had any effect on Mr. Stephens,
either personally or as the Democratic
candidate for Governor. But it turns
ont not to be true. Dir. Toombs has
been in Atlanta within the past day or
two. and. according to the Constitution,
denies that he has had any interview
with anybody concerning the State cam
paign. He says he is out of politics, and
if he has anything to say about pending
issues in Georgia, he will say it over his
own signature.

The Presidents Flag,

Generally there are more views than
one of a question, and now that the boys
have poked their fun at the presidents
flag, let us, as Americans proud of our
country, take rational glance at the
innovation, if so it may be called, and
see if it be irreeoncilable with common
sense, constitutional construction of our
Federal organization.
Our old Presidents did not go "iunket.
ing" in naval vessels because steam had
not in their days achieved the wonderful
Improvements in marine architecture
that we enjoy, reducing space and
time to minimum figures, and
furnishing agreeable and refreshing rest
to minds and bodies over-fatigued with
the duties of the highest office Of respon-
sibility in the country. Railroad travel
ing, with all of its modern appliances
for comfort, is at best more or less weari-
some, and not at all restful. Why then
should not the Executive of the country
use for his movements along the coast a
vessel of the navy in commission, that
happens to be temporarily unemployed?
There can be no objection on the score
of expense, except In the little coal that
NAV be consumed, for is not the Presi.
dent provided with free quarters at
Washington city, and at the Soldiers
Home, and what has he more in
man-of war We like fun
as well as anyone, and all the more when
it is at the cost of our political Oppo
nents; but it should not be carried to the
extent of lowering the dignity of ma
tional Office, which is in reality an abase-
ment of our country in the eyes of other
nations. Whatever we may think of the
incumbent, the Office itself demands our
respect as our own self respect, and the
reverence of our children, if we desire the
perpetuity of our Democratic Republi-
can institutions.
By the Constitution, the President
is COMMANDMENTS Chief of the army
and navy of the Federal Union,
and, by virtue of his office, entitled to
the highest h0nors of both services.
These are matters of regulation under
the laws of Congress governing them,
and as Presidents have used naval vessels
for their personal movements, it is right
that their presence SnOulu D6 mdue
known, that they may receive the hon
ors due to them. And in what manner
can their presence be made known better
than by the usage of the navy in the re-
cognition Of the inferior Off GERS, Admi-
rails of the various grades, COmmodores,
and so on-that is, by particular flags
prescribed for them? And what flag
more appropriate for the President than
the arms of the United States on a blue
ground? There is no imitation of royal
ty here attempted, as it is only the legiti
mate sequence of national progress and
naval custom from the birth of our
American navy. The only fault in the
matter is that the Presidents flag should
be hoisted over Robeson's miserable tubs.
But Democratic President will correct
that evil.

The Way to Prevent JObbery.

16duluB NOIIu6Iu iOuIHdlS VI DOtu
parties have harped long and loudly on
the river and harbor "steal, but have
very little to say of the gigantic pension
swindle, the jobs in the sundry civil bill
and other leaks, which deserve equal
censure. Many of these journals tell the
people that they must rebuke their rep
resentatives, who OVERRIDE the river and
harbor veto, by electing them to stay at
home and replacing them with better
men. This, so far as 1t goes, is excellent
counsel, but it is doubtful if much i'm.
provement will follow, if it is needed.
The average Congressman now a-days
is but an average citizen, and as long as
appropriation bills have to be passed
and the committees in charge of them
are under Radical control, extravaganza
will mark every such measure. The
trouble springs in the first place from
the recklessness of Radicalism, and
secondly, from full Treasury. The
remedy is to put the Radical party
in a minority in Congress, as was
done on previous occasions with profit
to the people, and to reduce the surplus
in the Treasury to minimum. Let the
people demand the abolition of the in
ternal revenue and a reform of the tariff
so as to make it supply revenue for the
Just needs of government Government
has no right to ask, and the people are
foolish to pay, more than is actually
needed Under the present system Of
taxation, the government receives hun
dreds of millions of dollars in excess of
its rightfui wants, and this money is
piled up in the Treasury. Such acOndi-
ton of affairs only suggests to the Robe
sons and the Refers the query, "What
shall we do to rake the Treasury
Plainly, if the money was not there the
iobbers would seek other fields.
This question of taxation is the livest
one before the people to-day. 1t must
be met, and can only be met successfully
in one way. That is to abolish the inter
nal revenue and the horde of placemen
that it supports and reduce the duties
ON imports to a simply revenue standard.
Otherwise every year there will be more
or less of a surplus, and its presence in
the Treasury will be a standing tempta-
ton to corrupt legislators and enterpris-
ing lobbyists. Could there be any guar
antee that this surplus would be right
fully applied to the carrying out of bona
tide and useful public improvements, its
creation might be justified. As it is, the
people simply contribute such surplus
from their hard earnings for the further
ance of jobs.
Ere many years have passed the pub
lie debt viii have been extinguished, and
a change in our system of taxation must
of necessity be made. A tariff for reve-
nue. only, if adopted now, would pro
vide for all the needs of government,
including the speedy discharge of the
Federal debt, and would save millions to
the taxpayers of the land. Here is the
KEY to the whole question. Prevent
iobbing by removing the temptations to
it; abolish the surplus; wipe out the in
ternal revenue, and reform the tariff.
Whatever party be in power, ins--s. upon
economy, and, if it is not practiced, re-
move that party and put in its opponents.

There is some food for solid reflection
in the following from the Hartford
Times:
Senator Ben Hill died comparatively

they are millionaires, and they aren't

Georgia Senator's stamp of sterling hon
esty, and politicians of the Sherman and
Robson school, there is a great gulf
fixed"

mean to intimate that in the next world
Mr.. Hill and Robson ct al. will be sepa-
rated by the same gulf alluded to in the

rus and Dives

The sight of eighteen ocean palaces,
not one flying the American flag, and a

stood on the deck of the TallapOOsa on

Still the naval salute, the strains of the
marine band, and the champagne opened
in honor of his arrival, doubtless made
his bosom swell with pride anyhow.

mated a cOlOred man for an important
Office in a Northern State. The fOrtu-

the candidate of the Kansas Republicans
for Auditor. His nomination is prob

voters in that State, who have been
threatening to desert the Republican
party unless they got some recognition.
The vote of Kansas will be watched with
interest to see how many white Republi-
cans will swallow this nomination.
