The interest that is being taken in the
reorganization of the Civil Service Com
mission is very marked. 1t seems to be
understood that the commission will I'M
dergO an entire change.
Several gentlemen of prominence have
been urged for places on the commission,
but it is pretty evident that the men the
President wants have not yet been dis
covered.
Among those mentioned is Hon. Carl
Schurz. Mr.. Schurz is a man of great
ability, and in intellectual attachments is
surpassed by very few. He has had great
experience in public affairs, and is known
to be a sincere civil service reformer.
But would Mr.. Sehurz make a good Civil
Service Commissioner? The chances are
that he would not. The salary is
very small. and while the duties
are not onerous, they are of a
routine character. There is nothing
in the office that requires more than ordi-
nary ability. Mr.. Schurz can make much
more than the salary of a commissioner
with his pen, and as lecturer, and at the
agreeable way. He would very soon
lose interest in the duties of a commits
sioner, because, while they would take
up the greater part OF his time, they
would not afford him any intellectual
enjoyment.
What is true with respect to Mr.. Schurz
is true, in greater or less degree, ofmen
who are Of the same rank that he IS. 1t
will not be wise, therefore, to appoint
as commissioners men who have only a
name to recommend them, or who, like
Mr.. Schurz, are not yetready to be retired
from active life.
The men Who would make the best CON-
missioners are middle-aged men of
! character, moderate ability and educa-
ton, who would regard the appointment
to a commissionership as promotion, and
who would devote themselves TO their
duties with the hope of retaining their
places, or Of making such a reputation as
would justify them IN expecting some
thing better.

The Boston AdrertiSer still adheres to
the UtOpian idea that the Republicans
ought to send some OF their best men as
political missionaries to build up re-
spectacle party in the South on the ruins
Of ancient Whlggery and without refer
ence to the color line. The Advertiser,
however, seems to appreciate some OF the
difficulties in the way of accomplishing
such an object. 1t says; "lf they" the
Northern Republicans, "should 60 to
work to reorganize the negroes as race
party, they would of necessity appeal to
the prejudices OF the race against the
whites, who are their neighbors, as being
those who once held them in slavery aud
who now Cypress them in the use of po-
litical power. This line of argument
would not be likely to make converts
among the whites, and there Is some ques-
ton whether it would avail as formerly
with the more intelligent and
prosperous colored men. On
the other hand, If they should devote
themselves to the issues which are not
race issues--to civil service reform, the
tariff, the regulation OF corporations. the
various questions OF national finance and
currency, the Indian problem, Interstate
commerce, ETC., the chances are that a
large part Of the Republican party, as it
exists in the South, would not understand
what the talk was about and might be
driven into a condition Of indifference"
The paper quoted seems 10 grasp the
situation pretty fully. There is little
chance TO reOrganize the Republican party
in the South. Civil service reform and
Democratic administration have blasted
the hopes and energies Of the spoilsmen,
and violated Republican promises have
killed the "forty acre aud mule" issue.

The Good Temnlars.

At Macon Tuesday a delegation of citi-
zens interested in the temperance cause

which cOnvenes in Macon on July %.
The sessions OF the lodge will be held at

p. m.
The subjects for discussion at these
public meetings cover the whole range of
the temperance mOYement-education
literature, legislation, etc. The speeches
will be limited TO five minutes. AS the
delegates come from all parts of the State
there will be an opportunity of learning
ever phase of the movement IN Georgia.
These exercises will be interspersed with
appropriate music.
DR.. Felton's address will be delivered at
the Academy of Music on the evening Of
July %. Judge George n. Lester and
DR.. j. b. Hawthorne are also expected TO
deliver addresses during the other night
meetings Of the convention.
AT the close of the conference Tuesday,
DR.. Warren offered an earnest prayer for
the passage of the local option bill, and
that the counsels OF the liquor dealers who
have gone to Atlanta to defend it might
be turned to foOlishness."

thus been offered was sent to Hon. j. r..
Pring,e, who is in charge of the bill in

AS Dry as a Powder Horn.

from me "A thenS bdnner- waterman.
Monday was a dry day for Athens in
one respect. The four former barrooms
were open very early in the morning, and
all who had failed to lay in a supply were
standing around looking very lonesome.
All the whisky had either been sold or
moved out of the rooms, and soda water,
ginger ale, and other light drinks. mad
taken the place OF the whisky. Uncle
Dick Saulter had made clean sweep and
sold out all he had. Several of the others
have a good lot of the cheaper brands on
hand, which they will ship of to other
places. Fowler has opened up Just
across the line Of Clarke, in Oco-
nee, and will do a fine business
until OcOnee takes vote on the ques-
toin. Mr.. W. II. Jones is open out about
miles from Athens. HIS license was
procured before the prohibition bill was
passed, therefore IL does not operate
against him until his license expires.
The barroom keepers all did fine busi-
ness up % the hour Of closing. Some Of
them took in over $500 Saturday. Jugs,
demijOhns and bottles were carried Of up
TO the last moment. Precisely at the
hour Of II. Lieut.. Arnold raped sharply
on the lamp post, and the next instant
the front doors were shut and the lights
put out. IL will be a long time before
whisky will again be sold in Athens.

A SOCIETY SENSATION.
The Marriage OF a Well-KnOwn Couple
Creates a Ripple Upon the Streets.

From the Rome Courier.
Tuesday quite ripple was created on
the streets by the reported marriage Of
Mr.. Frank Mcdonald, of this city, to Miss
Ida Hardy, of Florida. On account of the
parties being so well known in society cir
Giles it was matter of genuine interest
and was freely discussed. There was a
variety of opinions expressed as to the
truth of the rumOr, some affecting to be-
lieye that it was a hoax, while others be-
lieved it to be true. kilograms we're re-
ceived later confirming the truth of the
rumor. Miss Hardy for the past term
has been a student OF Shorter College, and
is a young lady of beauty and accomplish
ment. After commencement she visited
relatives IN Knoxville, and later returned
to this city on a visit to the family of Mr..
W. T. McWilliams. Mr.. Mcdonald has
paid her marked attention while here,
and she left last Saturday for Atlanta.
She was followed there by that young gen.
tleman, where they were married Sunday
night. Objections to the union were made
by the relatives of the couple, but the
little god, with his tiny DOW and arrow,
had struck so deep into their hearts that
another case of loves laugh at locksmiths
was put upon record.
