The greatest care should be exercised
IN selecting candidates for the Legsla-
ture. The whole state is excited over the
struggle of two gentlemen for the nomina-
tion for Governor. The tact appears to be
lost sight of that it is far more important
that good men shall be sent to the Legis-
lature than that this or that man shall be
made Governor. Almost any man of fair
education and good business sense can
scharge the duties of Governor in ord-
nary times. 1t requires ADLER men to make
good laws than it does to see that good
laws are executed.
Some very important matters will come
before the next egislature-matter that
small men cannot handle wisely and sue
| cessfully. In all of them the people have
a deep interest. In fact, the welfare of
the State is to a certain extent dependent
upon them. The best men, therefore, in
each county ought to be sant to the Legis-
lature.
Too often men are elected to represent
some particular interest. Such men do
not make good legislators. They are
always ready to sacrifice the interests of
the people in order to promote private in
terests and schemes. There are men who
want to 60 to the legislature for the honor
which is connected with the office. Some
OF them serve their constituents and the
people very we'll but the majority of them
are worthless as legislators. They haven't
the ability to grasp the questions with
which they are expected to deal, or, if
they have. they lack the necessary appli-
cation and industry to acquaint them
selves with them.
The men wanted-in the Legislature are
those who have good abilities, a conscien-
tious appreciation Of the responsibilities
resting upon them, aud sufficient strength
OF character to resist the Establishments
OF those who have doubtful schemes Tor
which they want legislative sanction.
The people in every county will show
/ wisdom by devoJing less time to the
Gubernatorial contest and more TO the
selection OF competent candidates for the
| Legislature.

WHY DEER PARK WAS CHOSEN.
A Promise Made by the Bride to
Ex-senator Davis Daughter.
Fronl the Ne1p YORK 81

From tho NsIo York Sun.
WAsHI6GToN, June 5.-A letter has been re-
ceived By lady In this city from Miss Jennie
Davis, the ex-Senator's daughter, in which it
is explained why the President selected Deer
Park as the place for spending his honey
moon. Up to Decoration day, which the
President passed in New York. he had decided
on no place, but Immediately after his return
to Washington on Tuesday Col. Lamont hur-
ried down to Wash Majors and ordered two
carriages TO be shipped at once to Deer Park
The whole matter had been settled by Miss
Folsom when the President saw her on Dec
GRAFTON day. and this is how 1t all came about
as explained in the aforesaid letter:
While Miss Folsom and her mother were at
Naples during their recent European trip,
they met Miss Jennie Davis, and the three
spent much time together, the girls becoming
fast friends. About this time the marriage OF
the President and Miss Folsom began to be
talked about and the news reached Naples,
surprising Miss Davis greatly, as her new
friend had never even mentioned the Presi-
dents name TO her. One day Miss Davis
asked Miss Folsom if the reports were true.
The latter evaded the question by saying
something about "those foolish newspaper
STORIES"
'Well. them" said Miss Davis, twill you an
swer this question: If you do marry Presi-
dent Cleveland, will you promise to spend the
honeymoon up at Deer Park with me?"
Miss Folsom could not say no without i'm
plying that the marriage was enough of apos-
slbllty to merit consideration, SO she said,
laughingly; Eyes. if anything of that kind
ever occurs l will go to Deer Park"
soon afterward they parted, Miss Davis re-
turning direct to America, and Miss Folsom
going to Paris to see about the wedding outfit.
When the public announcement of the mar
riage was made Miss Davis wrote to Miss Fol-
som, reminding her of the promise made IN
Naples and saving that she was expected at
Deer Park. The letter was received last Mon
day, the same day the President called on his
bretrothed in New York. The rest of the
story needs no telling, when it is remembered
that as soon as the President reached Wash
ington he ordered the carriages to be sent to
Deer Park.

The Convict Leasing sxstem.

The Convict Leasing System.
Louisiana Is about tired OF the convict
leasing system, and 1t now looks as II she
would take charge of her convIcts and
work them for her own benefit under the
direction OF a board of control. A bill has
already passed the lower branch of the
Legislature annulling the contract with
the lessees, and the indications are that it
will pass the upper branch. 1t is be-
lieved by those who are supporting this
bill that the State would be the gamer by
it, while, at the same time, something like
humane treatment would be guaranteed
to the convlcts. Louisiana has roads and
levees to build and could employ protitably
twice as many convicts as she has.
Attention was drawn to the outrageous
treatment to which the Louisiana con-
victs are subjected some weeks ago by the
discovery that one poor convict had his feet
frozen last winter, and that no attention
having been paid to him they rotted off.
The Picayune, speaking of this case, said:
1--WE do not propose to be sentimental, or
to believe all that is said of this manage
ment OF the convicts, but we do believe
that our present penitentiary system is
one that necessarily leads TO the most
damnable outrages. and we believe fur
thermore that no committee OF this Legis-
lature will or can deal fairly with the
question.
''We aver furthermore that the absence
OF any control by the people or the State
over the contractors, and the merciless
manner in which this prison labor is
handled, is disgrace to our civilization.
"Let us be just as people, and punish
men for crime, but in Gods name let us
not brutally wrong the defenseless, and
permit the scourging and barbarity that
must go hand in hand with any such ring
drivers, and ring-rIdden, and uncontrolled
and corrupt penitentiary system as Louis
lana now has, and which she inherited
from the Republican regime"
The leasing system is almost insepara-
bic from condition OF affairs that cannot
be too harshly condemned. There are,
doubtless, men in charge of convicts who
are disposed to be fair and just in their
treatment of them, but there are others
who are capable of the worst cruelsies,
and who DO not hesitate to impose the
severest kinds of punishments for very
slight Offenses.
But, aside from the wrongs which are
inflicted upon the helpless convicts, the
leasing system is Objectionable because it
hardens and brutalizes those who are sub
jected to it. 1t hasn't a reformatory fea-
ture. If convict gets through his term,
and he often does notwithstanding the
hardships he is compelled TO endure, he is
released without having been taught any
useful occupation and with feeling that
every mans hand is against him.
His heart being full of bitter
ness for the wrongs he has endured while
in a convict camp, and, not knowing
which way to turn to earn living, he
goes back to his old life, and is soon in the
penitentiary again.
If Louisiana abolishes the leasing sys-
tenn it is probable that other States will
follow her example. 1t is certainly not a
system that Christian people can regard
with feelings OF pride or even with favor.

Mr.. Gladstone's nome rule bill having
been defeated it remains to be seen what
the next move Will be in the struggle for
justice to Ireland. OF course 1t Is well
understood that the struggle ia not over.
Indeed, it is probable that there will not
even be a ull in il. The Irlsh people not
only in Ireland but in all other parts OF
the world have made up their minds that
English oppression of the Irish IN Ireland
is no longer TO be tamely endured, and
there are plenty Of Englishmen who agree
with them and are ready to aid them in
getting the sort OF government they are
entitled TO.
Parliament, doubtless, Will be dissolved
at once, and an appeal made to the cOun-
thy. 1t Is not easy to see what the re-
suit will be. Doubtless the campaign
will be one of the most extraordinary in
the history of English politics.
II the opponents OF Mr.. GIadstone's
home rule bill again secure a majority
the present government will no donbt re-
sign. The party that will come into
power then will be short-lived, be-
cause it will not be able to hold within its
ranks all of those who oppose home rule
legislation. II will not be able to transact
any business whatever without the aid of
Mr.. Gladstone's followers or Mr.. Par
nelPs. There IS just a chance, of course,
that it will be able to secure majority.
If it does it Will have to face the Irish
question. That question cannot be put
aside or ignored. 1t must be settled in
some shape. Coercion has been tried
about as long as it is wise to try it. 1t
never was success and there ar no in
dicatiOns that it ever will be.
The campaign for the new Par
lament will be fought on the
home rule issue. If home rule is
defeated those who will come into
possession of the government will have
to decide at once what they will do with
respect to Ireland. They will hardly
dare to offer Ireland as much as Mr..
Gladstone offered, and yet it is hardly
possible to see how they can offer less
with any hope OF having it accepted. The
Parnelites were not satisfied with the
Gladstone measures, but decided TO &C
.cept them because they believed that they
were the very best that could be obtained.
Those measures, if they had
passed, would have satisfied Ireland
for a time at least. If Mr.. Gladstone's
government is not sustained by the APP
peal to the country it would not be sur
prising il its successor should be forced
to the conclusion that Mr.. Gladstone's
plan for satisfying Ireland was about the
best that could be devised. 1t is an easy
matter to oppose a plan or a theory and
raise objections to it, but it is not so easy
to present substitute for 1t.
The struggle for justice to Ireland will
go on, and no one can foretell where it
will end. The agitation will fill the
minds Of the people with ideas that they
have never before Observation-Disclosures that
are hostile to the privileges and preroga-
tives of the class IN England that OBJ
structs progress towards justice for the
oppressed and greater freedom for those
who bear the burdens which are neces-
sary to the existence of that class.

Judge Henderson, State Commissioner
of Agriculture, in his report for June,
says: "The condition of the growing
crops is much below the average for the
season. The corn crop Is points below
the reported condition of last years crop
on June 1. The Oat crop falls 10 points,
wheat IA, and cotton Ii below the condi-
ton Of last year at this date. The Irish
potato crop only is reported to be better
than an average. The heavy rains in
many localities have caused serious
damage to corn and cotton, necessitating
in many instances entire replanting Of
% crops on bottom lands. The crops are
from 10 to 90 days behind the usual stage
of growth at this date. The cotton stand
is generally poor. This is attributed to
the cool weather, to the beating rains and
baked condition OF the lands, and is also
due in large degree to defective seed,
resulting from the damaged condition OF
last years crop"

for full account of the climate and soil.
productions and resources, prospects and
attractions of the State. with particulars
of the social, intellectual and religious
condition of the people, white and black.
The book is now ready and Mr.. Harley
has received a number from London,
where it is published by the large house
of Sampson, Low & Co. 1t is pub
lished in England at o., and will
be sold in Georgia for$1 80. AS the great
object of the author is to make the State
known, and to vindicate it against ignor-
ant misrepresentation, with view to in
duce farmers and capitalists of England
to invest their money in it's lands and
mines, and to emigrate hither, it is hoped
that the circulation may be very large

zens Of Savannah, as 1t treats of the
health Of the city, its commerce, its edu-
catiOnal, philanthropic and RELIGIOUS in
situations. 1t contains several illustra-
tIons specially engraved in London for
this work.
