TEMPERANCEAYD POLITICS.
Savannah Times.

Savannah Times.
Temperance is as much out OF
place in politics as is religion, and
the advocates of that cause will
make great mistake if, at any
time, they permit it to become an
issue to be fought over at the
polls, for whether defeated or sue
oessful the damage would be great.
If defeated, temperance would re-
ceive blow from which it could
not recover for long time. If
successful, it could only carry it's
points after hard fight, during
which animosities and heartburn
ings would be engendered which
would never die out. The defeat
ed candidates would never forgive
temperance for having been a
prominent factor in their discom-
future, and an irrepressible conflict
would be inaugurated which
would be- fought over and over
again until great bitterness Of
feeling would be begotten.
By actively going into politics
then, the temperance men would
excite against themselves and
their cause an opposition which
would be avoided should they keep
outside of such entanglements.
Neither is the political field the
one in which temperance workers
should figure. They can accom-
complish good only by subduing
the evil passions and appetites of
men by means of the mild power.
Honest instruction, gentle reproof,
and good example are the sweap-
ons with which they should fight,
and by the quiet, yet resistless
force Of good should they rely up
on patiently accomplishing their
perfect work. If temperance
workers choose to vote at the polls
in accordance with their princi
pies, and for men who they know
to be friendly to their cause, well
and good, though it would be bet
ter for them not to allow them
selves to mix with politics even to
that extent. The very moment
that they step forward prominent
ly in the political arena on the dis
tinotive issue of temperance VS..
intemperanoe, that moment will
they inhi,t very black eye upon
the object which they seek to ac-
oomphsh.

A Beautiful Home and Model
-s..- Ten-Acre Farm. ~


Albany News.
A representative of the News
and Advertiser accepted an inva-
ton to visit Mr. G. .. Barton at
his home on the east side of the
river, on Sunday afternoon, and
has been, feeling good ever since.
1t really refreshed US to see such
beautiful home and model little
farm and orchard as Mr.. Barton
has. The house is surrounded by
beautiful flowers in endless varie-
ty, which are objects of the spe-
cial care and attention Of Miss
Lecie Barton, and whose richness
and beauty reflect credit upon her
good taste.
Mr.. Barton's farm consists of
only ten acres, but he makes it
produce more than some Of the
hundred acre fields that may be
seen in Southwest Georgia. Near
ly or perhaps quite half of his
ground is planted in fruit and
vegetables; the balance in cotton
and corn. Last year his corn
yielded over 80 bushels to the
acre, and if the season continues
favorable he will make more this
year, while he expects to gather
at least a bale of cotton from ev.
cry acre that he has planted in
cotton.
But it is Mr.. Barton's peach
orchard that will take the blue rib
bon over anything of the kind in
Southwest Georgia. He has three
hundred trees now in full bearing.
Most OF them are of the celebrated
Alexander variety, and the fruit
begins to ripen in the latter part
of May. The trees, though only
three years old, are now loaded
with this delicious fruit. These
peaches come 50 early and are of
such excellent quality that Mr..
Barton will, in the course of a few
years, find his orchard source of
considerable revenue.

cient men. The district superintend-
ent are required TO have firstgrade
certificate, and to have had at least one
years experience IN teaching. These,
with the Governor, the Surveyor
General and the Superintendent OF
Public Instruction will constitute the
State Board of Education. Another
new feature is the provision Tor the
election of trustees, which election,
instead of being on the day of the gen
eral election, will be held at the district
school house on the second Saturday
of May annually, for the election OF
one trustee, who in small districts will
hold his office for three years, and In
cities where there will be five trustees,
for five years. The provisions as to
the election of trustees their duties and
the duties of all other officers, pupils
and teachers are terse and explicit
Another feature, that of providing for
district libraries, will commend itself
to all thinking minds. The lack of
good healthy reading matter is most
apparent. A few well-selecled volumes
would afford mental pabulum that
would give many a child an intellect
ual bent, and make him a leader IN the
country school and eventually of the
Nation. The revision, as whole,
self and reflects credit on
the gentlemen to whom was inlrusted
he important work.

NEW SCHOOL LAW,

The Senate and Assembly appointed
u committee Of two, the Chairman of
their respective Committees on Educa.
ton, G. II. Thomas, of the Senate, and
ID. Allen Of the Assembly, to reyise the
school law. These gentlemen wisely
took the laws of this state and Callfoi-
MA and so blended them, if their revis-
ION becomes law, that will give us a
school law the peer of any of our
sister States, says the Reno Gazette
The only innovation made is the dong
away with County Superintendent,
the dividing the State into three educa.
ional districts, and providing two
district Superintendent, and requiring
tho State Superintendent of Public
instruction TO take charge of the other
district. This change is ON the side of
economy, the expense of the Superin
tendents being less than the aggregate
cost OF the County superintendent
who ere powerless and too often in ell.

PUBLIC EXECUTION.

A bill for the suppression of public
executions has been introduced in the
California Legislature, Our Carson
laborers could do something praise
worthy by passing similar bill. The
Sacramento Record. Union thus speaks
of the bill: 1--WE understand bill is
before the Legislature providing that
all executions shall take place at the
State Prison, and be certified to by the
officers of thai institution. 1t should
pass. We are gratilied that Sacra-
mento Assembly man has had the
courage to introduce and advocate it,
Let him affix section declaring it to
be unlawful-under penalty-for any
person to print or publish in any form
any other account of the execution of a
criminal, executed under the laws of
this State except such official statement
as the law requires to be placed on
record. Of course this will be censor
ship OF the press, but II is just such
censorship as should be exercised, and
the sooner the better. No reporter who
has witnessed an execution or written
up a sensational account of hanging
will testify otherwise than that such
publication as the press makes is
demoralizing and thoroughly vicious

THE influence Of the stand taken by
the Austrian Rechstag is shown in the
attitude of the London press represen-
taiives, who objected to the restrictions
imposed by Parliament. Their appeal
for more privileges has been granted,
as they plainly intimated that If it were
not the British nation would he
deprived OF the full Parliamentary
reports which it now enjoys. Many
public men are fond of belittling the
power of the press, but these two
Instances show very clearly that the
newspapers, when their privileges are
attacked are able to bring the ordinary
legislative body TO terms.

The CIvIL SERvICE LAw.-The
second annual report ofthe Civil Ser.
vice Commission for 1884, contains
much valuable information upon the
workings Of the Civil Service Law,
which is not only interesting to
those in Office, bat also to tho Sc
seeking Office under the new ad-
ministration. It says that the Civil
Service Law has been found practical
bic and effective for the purpose for
which it was designed During the
year persons have hoen examined
from every state and territory except
Idaho. One hundred and sixty-two
examinations have been held, and
6,347 persons have been examined,
of whom 5,525 were males and S22
females OF those examined, 4,I4I
passed at grade showing them COM
petent for the public service and
2,S06 failed. The reports state in
detail the education Of 1856 Of those
examined, showing that more than
10 per cent of them had only com.
mon.school education. The fact that
but 449 out Of 5 1856 had been 10 col
lege seems to show that the great
body Of the public servants are being
drawn from the class who are educa-
ted IN the public schools.
AS President clet Gland has declar-
ed himself il favor Of civil Service
Reform, and his administration is to
be conducted upon that principle, the
sooner the army Of applicants for
Office under the new administration,
abandon the idea of sailing into soft
and lucrative positions through par.
tisan and political influence, the bet.
ter it will be for them. From all Id.
dications this will not be partisan
administration land many who seek
will not be able to find that which
they seek after.

Shrunken Grain,

Boston Cultivator.-A larger pro-
portion than usual of wheat grown
this year has shrunken berry which
detracts largely from it's Touring value.
This shrivelled grain has a proper
tionally heavier hull, and more Of the
gluten with less starch in it's compost
ton. Much OF the extra hard wheat
grown in the Northwest has so shrunk-
en- a, berry that all Eastern farmer
would be ashamed to offer it in the
market. It has, however, sold higher
than the softer, starchy wheats, and
is preferred by millers for making the
best new process flour, though it will
not make so many pounds per bushel.
1t seems now that most of our East
ern wheats have a shrunken berry,.
which looks very like the Northwest
ern Spring Wheats. Let us see whether
millers and other buyers will stand by
their decisions of two or three years
ago, that these shrunken grains made
the best flour.
