Bryant Must Go.

1t is very probable that Marshal Bryant,
OF the Northern district of this State, will
be suspended from office early this week
for the reason that he is an offensive par
tisan. There is no difference of opinion
in this State on the question whether or
not this official is an offensive partisan.
1t would be difficult to give definition of
an offensive partisan, which would not
fit him. II the history of his connection
with the politics Of Georgia were pub
lished even the extreme Republican pa
pers would have to admit that he is the
| kind of a man who ought not to be allowed
to hold Office.
Care ought to be taken to secure the
right kind of man to succeed Marshal
4 Bryant. There are several, doubtless,
who would like TO have the place. The
important questions, however, are who
of those who are anxious for it is in every
respect fitted to fill it? Who do the peo-
pie want? These appear to be questions
which the President desires to be salts
factorily answered in all cases where i'm
portant appointments are to be made.
The men who ought to be put in the Of
fees are not the ones who, generally, are
the first and most persistent applicants.
In many instances those who make the
greatest effort to get public positions are
unable to earn a living in any sort
of business or profession, and are,
of course, unfit TO be the repre-
sentatives or the employees Of the
government. They are very successful in
getting recommendations and indorse-
ments because their friends are tired Of
taking care Of them, and want to saddle
the burden on the government. That this
is true is shown by the complaints of the
President that he is all the time being de-
ceived and imposed upon by those in
whom he has a right to place trust and
confidence.
We have said all along that we thought
that in making changes in the offices
early attention should be given to the
South because more offensive partisans
are to be found here than in any other sec
ton of the country; but we want to say
now, that in making appointments in the
South the President will act wisely if he
takes particular care to select men
who are capable of discharging
their official duties satisfactorily, and who
have the respect of the people of the com
munities in which they live. If incom-
petent men, or men Objectionable for other
reasons, are appointed, it will not be long
before there will be great dssatisfactioR
We want to see the administration sue
coed, and nothing will contribute more
to its success than good appointments.
After the question Of the Marshalship
Of the Northern district is disposed of the
President may turn his attention to the
Southern district. In that event as earn
est assistance from the press of the North
ern district will be expected as the press
of the Southern district is now giving to
the Northern district.

MIR. Carlisle and the speakership,


At present there appears to be no reason
to doubt that Mr.. Carlisle will be the
Speaker Of the next House. No other
candidate IS spoken of at present. Mr..
Randall is reported to have said that he
would not be a candidate, and Mr.. Morri-
son, day or two ago, expressed the
opinion that it would be useless for any
one to attempt to defeat Mr. Carlisle in
the Democratic caucus.
Mr.. Carlisle was very popular with the
members of the last House. He was not
partisan Speaker. He was kind, cOurte.
GUS and just, and the Republicans were
always certain to be sustained if they
were in the right. How very different ON
the Democratic side was the feeling when
Mr.. Keifer was Speaker. Mr.. Keifer
could always be depended on to give a
partisan ruling if such a ruling were de-
manded by his party associates.
There is one very strong reason why
Mr.. Carlisle should be reelected Speaker,
which, doubtless, will outweigh all others.
1t is that, as tariff refcrmer. he is re-
garded by the people as the most promi-
nent of the Democratic leaders. The
tariff reform issue will be doubtless the
most prominent of all the issues before
the next Congress.
The prospect that the tariff will be re-
duced in the next Congress is CHI more
promising than it was in the last. The
administration is friendly to a reduction,
and il the late interview with Mr.. Ran
dali, about which so much has been said,
is not misunderstood, there will be very
little opposition in the Democratic party
to a reform of the tariff. If tariff re-
form is to occupy so prominent a place in
national legislation next winter it is
proper that its leading advocate should
be in the most conspicuous legislative po-
sitiOn

Congressman LAWYERS HOLSTERS.
Froa "a IndinnnnoLla .Lonr1lnL.

When Congressman Lawler, of Chicago,
made his first visit to New York, some years
ago, friend invited him to a restaurant,
where they called for sOftshen crabs. Lawer
had never seen any before, and dad not know
what they were. He liked them, however,
and few days afterward, wishing to regale
himself again with some OF the toothsOme
crustaceans, he hunted up the restaurant,
walked in, and sat down at a table; but he
had forgotten the name OF the food he desired.
Looking over the bill of fare he saw "lob-
sters." He called the waiter and said:
waiter, have you any lOOstersI" Yes"
said the waiter. Bring me dozen,'' said
Lawler. "A Dozen" exclaimed the waiter,
in establishment. Lawler saw that he had
made a mistake, but he was not going TO adj
mt it. "Coniound you" he SAID, don't you
suppose / know what ] want? Bring me a
dOzeH." The table was cleared of everything
that was on it, and Lawler pitched IN. He
ate all he possibly could, called for glass of
brandy, looked up at the waiter and said:

dollars and fifty cents" replied the waiter
Nv by, it is not as much as l thought it would

1t ought to be a long time before the
State Of Georgia succeeds in placing in
/ the Northern States the So, 5O0,O 600 per
cent. bonds Just issued. A State that re-
pudiated $4,000, 900 I'm bonds In 1873 is not
likely to prove faithful to later Obliga-
tions If they can possibly be repudlated.
The above is from the New York
Grdphtc, and indicates that Mr.. Henry
Clews is doing all he can to prevent the
new issue of Georgia bonds from occupy
ing the position among the securities of
the country to which they are entitled.
The Graphic ought to be above lending
itself to Mr.. Clews to serve his purposes.
1t may be that the editor of the Graphic
is not acquainted with the circum stances
connected with the issue of the bonds of
which it speaks so glibly. If he is not he
ought not to have allowed his paper to
express an opinion until he had informed
himself with respect to them.
1t isn't a matter of much moment to
Georgia whether the savings banks of
New York are permitted to buy her bonds
or not. The bonds are excellent securi-
ties and can be sold anywhere at very
good premium.
1t is true that there are certain bonds
for which it is alleged Georgia is liable,
and which she refuses to pay. No court
would hold her liable for them. They were
Endorsed to aid in the building Of certain
railroads, and were not to be issued ex-
cept as the roads were built. The roads
were never built, but the bonds were
issued and sold and the proceeds
pocketed by members of the carpet-bag
Legislature. Those who purchs sed them
had fair warning that they were illegal.
If Mr.. Clews handled them he was aware
that he was handling bonds that might
never be paid, and that they would GER
tainly never be paid if the people Of the
State of Georgia succeeded in getting con-
troll of their State before the bonds came
due. 1t would be well for the editor of
the Graphic to acquaint himself with the
facts before attempting to instruct the
people of New York respecting Georgia
bonds.

worn after dinner, but in secret only. Those

insisted upon, and minute instructions are
given as to where the chain may be invisiblv

appears, the height of the pschutt to have

The Republicans can do no greater service
to the country than by keeping their eyes
wide open and telling all they see; and If there
is any offensive partisanship on the Demo-
cratic side, the Republicans have been pecu-
liarly fitted by long experience with that sort
tonal parties watch each Other-the Demo-
Gratis trying TO do so well that the people will
keep them in power, and the Republicans
losing no opportunity to expose an error in
order to turn public attention to their own
uperiority-then the country is the gamer.
The keenest scrutiny is always in order, for
the people care more for honesty of admins
tratlon than they do for party names.

A Rcnublican Coalition.

Whatever the extent of Gen. Neal
Dow's personal influence may be, he is a
persistent, cheeky fellow, and when he
backs his statements with evidence there
can be no doubt that they have very con-
siderable effect. just now he is engaged
in lecturing in Northern cities IN favor Of
prohibition. His explanation of the man
ner in which he was entrapped into sup
porting the Republican Presidential
ticket under the assurance that it was as
much of a temperance ticket as that of
the PrOhibitiOnists, and how the Republi-
cans since the election have in various
parts of Maine united with the liquor
men against the Prohibitionists, does
not reflect much credit on himself
as a sagacious man, but it certainly does
illustrate Republican periidy.
1t is not likely that the Republicans can
manage TO again secure the vote Of the
Prohlbjtionists in Maine for good many
years, and it is by no means certain that
the Republicans can safely count on that
State in the future. 1t will be State to
be fought for, and the issue will be more
doubtful than it was III 1884.
If there should be a fusion of the Demo-
cratic and Prohibition tickets in Name
the Republicans would be surely beaten.
1t is not improbable that efforts will be
made to effect such fusion when the
next campaign opens, and the chances
are that they will be successful.

From Tie I7ldidndD polls Journal.
A very popular form of hilarious abuse now

ahOat on the community. but there must fol-
low jokes on the jokes, then jokes on the jokes

from this years comic journalism. AS the
spring poet, with his Vernal verses his rhyth-
mical lettuce and spinach, is much more &C
ceptable than the sneering jeering criticism
which he arOuses, so the old joke, the ''cheSt-
NUT" as it is now botanically termed, has a
more valuable mission than the feeble jibes
which follow it.
