Work for the Idle.
Atlanta Constitution.

There are a great many able
bodied men in Georgia who are
going about doing nothing, bul
who pretend to be hunting fol
work. We are threatened with
the tramp nuisance, and if this
nuisance be added to the nuisance
Of the professional loafers and
vagabonds that hang around the
towns and cities, Georgia will
speedily drop to the level of 9TH
er states. There is 10 excuse for
the tramp nuisance in Georgia.
There is plenty Of work and to
spare for every man who is wan
dering round under pretence of
hunting for it. There is plenty of
land i'll Georgia, and lack of la
Dor to cultivate it. Let those who
are searching for work in the
towns and cities go into the coun-
try and cultivate the land. They
can, at least, earn livelihood at
this business, and O livelihood at
farming means independence and
a clear conscience. How much
better are these things than the
humiliation of tramping around
and begging for work. Work
hunted for is never found, but it
always comes to the man who in
slsts upon working.
ANY able-bodied man who real
" desires to make an honest liv-
ing can find work by going into
the country and tilling the soil.
Moreover, it is good honest work.
1t is the basis of ell happiness and
prosperity. There are many de-
serving men who cannot find work
in cities and towns, but they can
ind plenty to do in the country.
There is plenty of land and a CON
tinual demand for trustworthy
labor.
So far as the authorities Of the
municipalities are concerned, they
owe duty to the public which
has never been adequately per-
formed. They owe it to them
selves and to the state to put an
end to the loalng and yagabond-
age which are features of towns.
The idle people must live some
how. They are a tax upon the
lndustrious-a burden upon those
who are willing to work. 1t is
the duty OF the authorities of every
municipality to see to it that the
people are relieved Of this burden
OF taxation. Let the idlers and
vagabonds be taken in hand and
put to work. Let the loafers be
compelled to contribute some
thing to The public which supports
them. Let them be put to work
upon the streets OF upon such pub
lie Improvements as may be nee
essary. Let the tramp nuisance
be nipped in the bud at once.

Effects Of the Freeze.

Effects Of the Freeze.
From all sections Of Georgia the
information reaches us that the
small grain crops have been great
ly damaged by the recent excess
sively cold weather. The exact
extent Of the damage has not yet
been determined, and old farmers
differ in their opinions concerning
it. 1t is believed by some that all
oats planted late in November or
in December are dead, while 9th
ers are Of the opinion that q good
stand will come out in most cases.
Wheat has not been damaged to
so great en- extent as oats. In
many cases in Middle and South
west Georgia the farmers are
preparing to plow up and sow oats
again, while in North Georgia
such action is absolutely necessa-
ry if there is to be made crop Of
oats.
1t is certain that the damage
has been great, and the grain
prospect is now completely
changed in Georgia. Three weeks
ago the prospect for an exception
ally large crop was promising
Extensive areas had been seeded,
and the young grain was growing
finely. Now, the prospect Of an
enforced second planting stares
our farmers in the face, else the
risk Of thin stands must be taken.
Ii the second planting is made,
the area will be greatly reduced,
and if not the prospect of good
yields per acre will not be fatter-
ing. This cut off of this great
auxiliary crop Will be q great ca
lamity, unless the effect is neutra-
lized by iulicious planting of
other proyender crops. 1t is true
that corn is more plentiful than
has usually been the case in Geor-
gia since the war, one or two years
excepted, and the hog harvest has
yielded an increased amount of
meat, yet the demand for econo-
my at home is pressing exceeding
ly heavy upon us.
1t is not our province to give
advice to the planters and farm
ers, yet our anxiety is so great
that we cannot remain silent
The man who plants this year
with the expectation of using his
cotton to buy farm supplies will
surely fail to realize any profit
whatever, and the factor" will bt
more emphatically his master al
the end Of the year than ever.
We hope for the best, and trus
the agricultural interest of Geor
! gia will be so advanced this yeal
as to occupy the exalted position
justly due them in the progressive
column that ever moves and i'm
Iproves. That this may be done
all home supplies must be raiseC
on the farm.

What a Tariff for Revenue
Means

The term "free trade" is a mis-
nomer as used IN political discus
sion in the United States. No such
thing is possible in this country.
Ne such thing is contemplated
The dntiable imports to the United
States for the last fiscal year amount
to $514,000,000. The average rate of
duty was 42.8 per cent. The reve-
nue. this produces was $2l0,000,00.
The estimate OF the entire receipts in
to the treasury the current fiscal year
$343, 100000. This is probably an
underestimate. The total receipts
for the fiscal year ended June 20,
1888 were 1898, ,287,5l8. The seere
tary OF the treasury estimates that
there will be required for the gov
ernment s259, 600, 600, leaving a bal
ance Of $95,000,000 to be applied to
the public debt. This implies that.
after meeting the requirements of the
sinking fund the rewould remain $40
10000 surplus. Suppose this en-,
tire sum were taken from the duties
on imports it would still leave the
necessity for mn average rate of du-
ties OF over 80 per cent. The secre-
tary furnishes estimates for the fiscal
year 1885 in which substantially the
same condition of the receipts and
expenditures is, presented. If,
therefore, the tariff were reduced so
as to prevent al surplus revenue
protection to the extent of 80 per
cent would have to continue. This
is vast distance from free trade.
But reduction Of revenue by cutting
down the receipts on imports. could
be carried much beyond this and
yet, by discrimination and properly
extending the free list, allow all the
industries which need government
fostering protection much above 80
per cent. While the governmet
needs $283, 100000 annually to meet
ordinary expenditures and to provide
for the sinking fund, and raises only
$120, 100000 or S130,000,000 from
internal revenues, all apprehensions
about free trade are utterly baseless.
A tariff for revenue ouly is therefore
a conservative rather than disturb
ing platform,

Advertising il Science.

But few people living in the
country have even the faintest idea
ofihe extent Of outlay for advertising
in the cities. The Chicago Tribans

aid for its lowest, 1913, ,723, and FORTS
highest, $3.50 The New York
Tribune for the lowest, 500, 754, and
for it's highest, SS5,648, and these
papers, it is stated, are never at a
loss for advertising. A very large
proportion of country merchants,
manufacturers. etc, do not really be-
lieYe in advertising. They will ad.
NIT it as a theory but not squarelv
as a practice. Now they must think
that the people Who pay these great
papers such enormous sums are u
clever, misguided set of fools to thus
make these newspaper establishments
so rich, and all for nothing. But
would it not be fairer to suppose
that the advertisers know what tH9y
are about-that the foolish ones are
those who neglect to employ SO val
liable an assistant in their business as
the newspaper, and who blind them-
selves with the blind sentiment: sIti

WHEAT.
Constitution.

constitution.
May wheat went down last week
to 96, as against $105 last year,
@I.15 in 1882, and about the same
in 1891 Not even in 1878-the
year Of low prices-did May wheat
touch 95. And what is worse still
for the farmers Of the great wheat
growing states, there is no pros
pect that the price will soon be
materially advanced. This comes,
too, IN a year when the deficiency
in the United States Is about
75,000,000 bushels. The esti-
mate Of a crop of 420,000,000
bushels is still considered good,
although the crop Of the previous
year was nearly 500,000,000.
1t seems that our statement of a
deficiency, often and loudly re-
peated, were taken literally by the
countries OF Europe. These coun-
tries began to look around for
what we practically claimed we
could not furnish on account Of a
shortage in our crop, and they
found in Russia, India and Hun
gary about all they will need. As
soon as the ice leaves the Russian
waters A0,0o0,000 bushels will be
shipped to England and France;
Australia will have 100000
bushels to spare, and the new In
dian crop will be ready before
these quantities are out Of the
market. The stock of wheat in
England is very large, and it is
not likely that her people would
look this way for much Of our sur
plus unless the recent fall in
prices is inviting. The recent
drop Of about To cents in Chicago
may be said to be bid for an
European demand. There will
be a glut at Chicago unless a for
eign demand springs up. With
out a foreign demand, the east and
west trunk lines would have little
to do, our export figures would be
lowered, and every branch of bus
mess would feel the troubles of
the wheat market. We no longer
control the wheat markets OF the
world. We must be contented
hereafter to feed hungry nations
in partnership with India, Russia
and Australia. The possibilities
Of India are said to be very great.

The Gay Head Disaster.


Atlanta Constitution,
The fuller and later reports Of
the disaster to the City of Colum-
bus do not clear up the matter at
all. They do not lesson the ur.
gency for thorough official in
yestlgation Of all the circum-
stances that led to the death. on a
clear night, Of one hundred souls
on q well known coast. When the
disaster took place Gay Head
hight and even the coast line were
IN sight-were visible to4ale naked
eye, and yet the vessel was per
mitted 70 dash upon a sunken
rock, called Devils Bridge, that
has long been a terror to mariners
along our eastern coast. The
quartermaster, who was at the
wheel, or who was supposed to
have been at the wheel-the ac-
counts differ as to whether he act
qally was or not-ssys he thought
before the vessel struck that it was
going rather closer to Gay Head
light than usual" The vessel was
running through a narrow pas
sage with hidden dangers on both
sides, and q rock-bound coaet in
sight, and the wind and sea both
called for unusual care and pru-
dence. 1t does not appear from
the published accounts that any
such care and prudence were dis
played by the officers Of the boat.
On the contrary, there is evidence
that there was an unusual amount
Of negligence. The vessel was
two miles out Of her course in a
dangerous passage, and this fact
alone calls for an explanation.-
The owners Of the vessel should
assist the authorities in fastening
the negligence-for negligence
there must have been-upon the
man or men who drove the vessel
upon the rocks.
And while the investigation is
going on it would be well to in
quire why vessel bound from
Boston TO Savannah, loaded down
with passengers, should be sent
between rock-bound islands, when
there was plenty of sea room east
OF Nantucket. II The City Of Col
umbus had kept outside Of Nan
tucket-if she had kept at sea and
given the rocks wide berth, she
would to-day be lying safe and
sound in the Savannah river in
stead ot a wreck on Devils
Bridge. A sea-worthy vessel
should not creep dong The coast;
sh2 should stay out at sea, even il
size loses q little time by so doing
Ihepubiic is entitled to an expla-
nation OF the order that sends yes
sells like the City Of Columbus
through dangerous sound pas
sages; and il part Of the blame
falls on the steamers owners and
a part on her officers, Les the whole
truth be made plain. No more
appalling disaster has occurred on
our coast in many years, and the
investigation cannot be too search
ing OF severe.

The Dying Year.

Atlanta Constitution.
The year 1888 was prolific in nat
ural disturbances. There was a
heavy fall of snow throughout the
country, even in the south, and the
winter was long and cold. This vas
followed in the northern states by
an almost unprecedented fall of rain.
La almost every month of the year
there were shocks of earthquake in
some parts Of the world, culminat-
ing in the terrible commissions in the
Grecian archipelago at Ischia, and
in Java. The loss of life in the lat
ter country was appalling. 1t was al
so a year of cyclones, nearly every
western and southern states coming
in for share Of storms. Floods,
too, were common; but there were
no destructive epidemies except the
visitation of cholera in Egypt and
the far east. As these countries In
vite the disease by want of cleanh-
ness, the world usually wastes no
sympathy over their losses of life.
1t can be said of the year that it
has been free of great wars. The
lighting by out of uniform in Ii za~ld;
the uprising in Egypt followed by its
quick suppression, the battle in the
Soudan between the false prophet
and the forces of Egypt, and the
struggle in Tonquin, comprise the
bloodiest wars Of the year.
The annihilation of the force of
Hicks Pasha by the false prophet,
aud the victory of General Wellesley
over the Egyptians at Tel-el-Kebre,
the bombardmen5 OF Alexandria By
the British feet, and the capture of
Sontay by the French, are the brill
liant war-ike events of the year. In
this connection should be mentioned
the victory OF General Crook overEthe
Apaches, which probably put an end
to all warlike attempts on the Indians
in the territories. Instead of fight
ing them, we are now engaged III

In therecent colliery accident in

to light which conveys its own les.
son.
A tender hearted woman who went
round among the bersaved homes on
mission of consolation, found a
wife whose grief seemed to her Of a
different natdre from that of the 9TH
ers. Some of them mourned their
bread-wlnner, the father of the chill.
dfen; and the cry of "What shall I
do now?" went up from almost eye-
ry desolate house.
This young wife uttered no crv
She only sat swaying hersef to and
lro' with no tears in her eyes, but
with look of set anguish on her face
thousand times more pitiful than
sobs and tears.
The visitor coul1 not bear 10 go a.
way and leave her to her silent an.
guish. She fingered beside her ANA
tried to comfort her. She spoke Of
the grief Of some of the women who
were less helpless with large fapuilies
to provide for.
'Thats not the worst" said the
woman gloomily.
''You mean that you could bear it
better, if you had children TO take up
your thoughts?"
"No. not!'' the wife cried in sort OF
a dispair; nothing could help me
now, Nothing ever can heap me. but
| could have borne it all if I'd only
spoken him6air at the snd.'' And
then at last the srory came. Ehey
had been married year, she and jim,
and they both had tempers, but Jim,
he was always the first to make ND.

this morning they had had trouble.
"It began beeause. breakfast, warn't

and they had said hard words. both

though breakfast was not fit to eat.
jim had turned round at tbs door,
and said
"Gi'e me kiss lass. You know

and there she stopped, and awful
sobs shook her, and the visitor could

"Do not grieve so hopelessly."
Butthe mourners ears were deaf to-
all comfort, and the wailing cry came
again.
It.is not common story, this.
We quarrel with those we. love, and
part and make up again; and death IL
mercifuI and waits ill we are at peace;
and yet how possible is just such an
