General Palmer, who was the DEM
ocratic candidate for Governor in
Illinois, has withdrawn from the
Grand Army because he says it is q
political organization. A member of
his post says: "The soldiers talked
more this year than they did four
years ago because they had soldier
to vote for, and against a man who
hunted up words in the dictionary to
find language with which to abuse
the soldiers, but they never discussed
the question at the meetings." It 10
no new thing for Gen. Palmer to kick.
He kicked himself out of the army
because Gen. Sherman ordered him
to report to Gen. Schofield for the
time being, for the reason that his
commission was dated few days
prior to Gen. Schofield's. And then
he kicked himself out Of the Republic
can party because they wouldn't elect
him United States Senator. And
now he has kicked himself out of the
G. A. r. because the old soldiers of
Illinois saw fit to vote for Private Joe
Fiper for Governor instead sf himself.
He didn't bust SEsrman's army by
he didn't bust the Republic
can party by kicking, and he won't
bust the G.. A. r. by kicking; but he
has succeeded in making q fool Of

Wages in 800.

The condition of the wage class of
that day (1S00 A. d. may be we'll ex-
amined; it is full of instruction for
social agitators. In the great cities
unskilled workmen were hired by the
day, bought their own food and found
their own lodgings. But in the coun-
try, on tue farms, or wherever a hand
was employed on some public work,
they were fed and lodged by the en-
ployer and given a few dollars
month. On the Pennsylvania canals
the diggers ate the coarsest diet, were
housed in the rudest sheds and paid
Sc per month from May to November,
and IS q month from November to
May. Hod carriers and mortar mix
ers, diggers and choppers. who, from
1898 to 1900, labored on the public
buildings and cut the streets and
avenues of Washington city, received
$40 year, or, ii they wished, $50 F3r
all the work they could perform from
March l to December 20. The hours
of work were invariably from SUNRISE
to sunset. Wages at Albany and
New York were three shillings, or, as
money then went, forty cents a day;
at Lancaster, So to $40 a month; else
where in Pennsylvania workmen were
content with So in summer and IS in
winter. At Baltimore men were glad
to be hired at Is pence day. None,
by the month, asked more than 36.
At fredericksburg the price of labor
was from IS to 81. In Virginia, white
men employed by the year were given
f16 currency; slaves, when hired,
were clothed and their master paid
Ell a month. A pound, Virginia
money, was, in federal money, 1888.
The average rate of wages the land
oyer was, therefore, $s5 year, with
food, and perhaps clothing. Out Of
this small sum the workman must,
with his wife's help, maintain his
family.

Georgia..

We consider the great state of Geor-
gia as the foremost commonwealth of /
all the states of the South. Since the
close of the terrible war she has made |
gigantic strides in everything tending |
to develop her immense resources.
Where at the termination of the war
were devastated and ruined villages,
now may be seen populous cities, teem-
ing with manufactures and busy, i'm
dustrious, go-ahead people; and the
sparsely settled country at the out
break of the war, is now thickly occu-
pied by industrious and prosperous
planters and farmers. New life and
new blood seems to have been infused
into the people of that state, and with
her great water power, mineral de.
posts, cotton factories, foundries. ma
chine shops and other manufactures,
at Augusta, Atlanta, Gainesville and
tat numerous other places scattered
over the state, we can see no reason
why Georgia is not bound to become
at no distant day one Of the great
manufacturing states of the Union.
But in no part Of the state have more
marked changes taken place than
along the historic route OF the Allan
tic and Western railway, extending
from Chattanooga to Atlanta. All
along this line are some of the most
beautiful and thriving towns and vii.
lagos to be seen on any route. Some
of these villages are delightful sum-
mer resorts, blessed as they are with
pure cold water, refreshing shade and
beautiful scenery. Gainesville, We
remember when we passed through it
during the war, was mere nothing, il
now very prosperous manufacturing
town, we are told by those who have
been there; and Marietta, delightful
Marietta, situated almost in the shad-
ow of old Kenaessw, from whose
summit view of unsurpassed beauty
is had, is now one Of the most charm
ing pleasure resorts in the South.
Yes, we believe Georgia is coming
to the front rapidly, and is Kidding
herself of the mildew of old Bour-
bonism, which forgets nothing and
learns nothing. New men are coming
to the front, more liberal ideas are
prevailing, and she has a glorious flu
ture before her. We look to see her ar
rayed with the party in favor of pro-
lection to home industries in the next
presidential election, Notwithstanding
her immense Democratic majority at
the last election. American manu-.
features don't thrive under Democrat
ic rule, and the more manufactures
introduced into Georgia the smaller
} will be the Democratic majority.
! We have strong liking for Geor-
gia, and it is our intention to visit
the places along the line of the above
named railroad, and also Augusta, if
possible, next season.

posed railroad legislation. The rail-
roads of the State are restless under
laws which make it difficult for them
to pay dividends on their enormous

leave no effort untrled to so amend
and repeal present laws that their old
