Col. Jones History.

The accomplished Georgia historian,
Col. Charles c. Jones, deserves the encOur-
agement and patronage of every good citi-
zen of the State, and there is little doubt
that when his book shall be placed in the
hands Of the agents it will command a
large sale. The proposition, however, to
give mis- cOmmendable enterprise start
by having the State subscribe for five
hundred copies OF the work at s. per copy
does not seem to command popular SYM
patty. although it has the high official il
dorsement Of Gov. Mcdaniel. When tie
proposition was made to the General As
sembly of Georgia four years ago to ap-
propriate a sum OF money to purchase
lot Of alleged colonial records" of GeOr-
gia from certain parties in England,
chiefly for the use of Col. Jones in CON-
piling his history, the representatives of
the people failed to respond, and there
seems to be a probability that the move
ment to have the State become the patron
of his history will share the same fate.
The trouble about this matter is that
nearly half of the members Of the Gene
raj Assembly are strict economists and
think the purchase CT several hundred
books tor which the State has no imme-
date use piece of inexcusable eXtrava-
gance. while the other half believe in
strict, perhaps strained, construction of
the constitution, which they think pro-
hibits the spending of money raised by
taxation for any such purpose. There
are a good many who, out of personal
friendship for Col. Jones, are willing
to waive the question of economy as well
as the alleged constitutional point. But
the people Of the State can hardly see any
great need for more than about fifty
copies of the work for the use of the State
Libr arian in exchanging for similar
works relating TO other States and Terri
tories.
There is danger that appeals to the
General Assembly will inJure the sale Of
Col. Jones' history with the people by
creating prejudice against it. 1t is no
doubt very meritOriOus work, and it Is
likely that if the same influence and en-
ergy were used in soliciting subscriptions
from the people Of the State that are used
IN endeavOrlng to secure aid from the
General Assembly the sale of several
thousand copies would be assured and
the success Of the enterprise from fnan-
ciaI standpoint established. Let the
book be placed before the peO-
pie on its merits, for it
must have great merits, judging
from the character Of its distinguished
author and compiler, and there Is no
danger that it will fail for want of sub
scribers. At the present time. however,
when the General Assembly is discussing
ways and means to cover a $24O,OOO
deficit in our next years accounts, the
State subscription scheme can hardly
succeed, even if there were no ordinary
economical or constitutional objections
urged against it.

What Shall be Done with MIR. Nc
Donald ?

1t is not improbable that Mr.. Cleveland
will find some difficulty in satisfying the
leading politicians of Indiana. There is
no doubt that there are two factions in
the Democratic party there, and that Mr..
Hendricks is the recognized head Of one
and Mr.. Mcdonald of the other.
Mr.. Mcdonald was a Presidential can
didate, but was badly beaten. At no time
We're his prospects promising for either
the first or second place on the ticket.
Mr.. Hendricks proved TO be the more pop
ular Of the two men. There IS no ques-
ton. however. that Mr.. Hendricks acted
toward AIr. Mcdonald, during the cOnven-
ton, in the most perfect good faith.
The people of Indiana, however, having
hOnOred Mr.. Hendricks as their fayorite
son it is possible that he would rather
that Mr.. Mcdonald should not become a
member Of Mr. CleyeIand's Cabinet. in
a Cabinet position Mr.. Mcdonald would
exert a great deal more influence in the
administration than Mr.. Hendricks would
as Vice President.
1t is not known whether Mr.. Hendricks
friends are endeavOring to prevent Mr.
McDOnald's appointment to aplace IN the
Cabinet or net, but it is certain that Mr..
McDonald's friends propose to get him IN
the Cabinet if they can. One Of the most
conspicuous Of these friends is Senator
VOORHEES,. The SenatOris a candidate for
reelection to the Senate. As Senator and
as the ''Tsll Sycamore Of the Wabash"
he is one OF the best known men of the
country. 1t would 90 hard with him to
lose his place in the Senate.
It's not wholly disinterested friendship,
therefore, that influences him to desire
Mr.. YcDOnaid's appointment as Cabi-
net officer. If Mr.. Mcdonald isn't taken
care of before the election of Senator takes
place in Indiana Mr.. Mcdonald, and not
Mr.. Voorhees,. may be chosen Senator. A
feeling of sympathy for Mr.. Mcdonald
NAV send him to the Senate whether he
himself makes a particular effort or not to
get there.
OF course, neither Mr.. Hendricks nor Mr..
voorhees, would have any objection to the
appointment of Mr.. Nc DonaId to a for
eign mission, or to a judgeship, or to any
other place which would get him out of
the way; but he doesn't want to be got
outof the way. He is a very healthy
looking old gentleman, and the prooa0lh-
ties are that his ambition points to 1888.
As the situation presents itself, it is hard
TO see what Mr.. Cleveland can do, assum-
ing that he is expected to do something,
to satisfy all parties interested.
