The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1888-06-19

IT HENRY WILLARD carries out his present
intention of making trip 10 the south pole
the world will doubtless learn some now facts
about that interesting region. Sir James Ross
has told us all that is known about the south
pole. He found enormous fields of ice and ice
bergs mile high Snd he also found an open
polar sea, He saw beyond the extreme south
en limit of his voyage an enormous
active volcano, and this gives rise to
the belief that the intense cold
in the vicinity of the pole may he tempered by
the heat escaping from the interior OF the
earth. This fact, perhaps led Poe to write his
wild and fanciful account of the adventures of
Arthur Gordon Pym. The world at large will
wish Mr.. Willard a successful Trip in the inter-
eSts of science.

The Washington Post, in ''utterly repu-
dating the inconsistent, incoherent, evasive
ana altogether discrcditable tariff plank
adopted at the St. Louis convention" takes
lis stand on "the real democratic platform
Of lsSs"-,he presidents message.
The Post takes n very long route to do
that which II might much mere easily have
done by a shorter way. It should simply
have taken its stand on the platform Of the
convention Had it done so it would have
occupied the same position it now holds,
and would have saved itself from being put
in the attitude Of a kicker
There is no reason why it should repudi-
ate the platform if it really desires to take
lis stand on the presidents message, and
To discard il is to discard the message.
There is no straa5}e about il and no equ;yo-
cation The Presidents message becomes
not only the Issue hy inference, but it is
made distinctly and pronopncedly so. Ii is
the platform Oh which the party stands,
and on which ii must make the fight for
victory. II has been given the overwhelm-
ing Endorsement Of the democracy, through
its representatives. and on it the democracy
appeals to the country.
There is but one duty for every democrat
stand by the party. Democratic success
means honest government, and il is its only
guarantee. Democratic success means the
unity of the sections and the final burial of
the bloody shirt policy which has so long
been used by the republicans to array
brothers against each other. Democratic
success means pure government; it means
more than all these-it means national
prosperity and harmony and good feeling
between the states.
Thousands and thousands of republicans
will desert their party this time on these
issues, and on the measure of Cleveland S
majority depends the lasting triumph of the
principles involved.
SOMETIMES ALL THE tumultuous passion of
the tropics burst forth under our northern
skies. In New York, the other day, young
man who was hopelessly in love with the
wife Of a friend broke into her room, declared
his love for her, and then shot her, following
up the murder by killing himself at her feet
Could there be anything more volcanic than
such an outbreak Of despair? Such an Incl
dent shows what thin partitions divide our
business-ike nineteenth century from the
hot-headed barbarism of past ages when men
captured their sweethcarts by force, and MUIR
dered them rather than give them up. Scratch
a modern dude and you will md an original
barbarian under the varnish.

He Missed tho 2yai,..

Here is an amusing story from an
Australian paper which every married
woman will appreciate. A well-known
merchant of Melbourne was desperately
anxious to catch the 6:45 train. He
was afraid he should miss it, so talked
it all over with his wife on retiring. He
had just got into sound sleep when
his faithful spouse woke him, suggest
ing that it must be time to get up. He
did, found it was only midnight, and
retired again. Soon he was aroused
again, and this time, upon consulting
the clock, it proved to be only a. IN.
Somewhat Disguised and angered at
being so often broken in his slumbers,
he again sought his couch admonishing
his wife to leave him alone, 'he'd wake
up all right"
Feeling herself relieved of any
further responsibility, she went to sleep
for good, and left her lord and master
to wake when he choose, which he did
at o'clock. Thinking it would not
pay to try and get any more sleep he
put on his clothes, took his valise in
his hand, and sat down for a few min
utes. Meanwhile his wife slumbered
on till s o'clock, when she awoke to
find him gone, whereat she felt very
bad, as she intended to have got him
some breakfast. Leisurely dressing
herself, she sought the parlor, where,
to her astonishment, she beheld her
husband equipped for his journey, bag
in hand, sitting bolt upright in his
chair, fast asleep, and the train gone
over an hour and half
