very fat. There is no republican enthusi-
asm anywhere outside the editorial columns
OF the indianapolis journal, and even there
it seems to be a littlo too gushing to be
genuine.
Candidate Harrison is doing the best he
can. He strives TO show that the situation
is stirring one, but he cannot escape the
atmosphere Of dullness by which he is sur
rounded. lie sits on his piazza and dozes,
and when country delegation of Hoosiers
comes along and stares at him over the
pallngs, his private secretary wakes him
up, and he proceeds to make what his
neighbors call a speech.
Brother Blaine is very much needed just
now, and the republican party recognizes
that fact fully. Hence the arrangements
for the proposed reception. A republican
victory means Blainesm, and Blaineism
means everything that is bad in modern
politics.

The census maker in 1891 who tabulates
the industries Of America will be forced to
put Georgia at the head of the list on marble
products, The rapid strides taken by de-
veloping Georgia marble in the past five
years is fabulous to contemplate, and it will
make a remarkable showing when the sta
tstician makes the figures, ana we can com
pare 1850 with 1890.
Another fact that is fast making an im-
preston on the public is the very fine quail
ity Of Georgia marble and the very great va
riety Experts have pronounced it the best
in the market both for the interior and ex-
terror decoration of fine buildings and for
monuments, and wherever it is used in a
town or village it soon monopolizes the
trade.
Our state has always been famous for its
great variety of resources. New, when We
begin to take the lead, not only OF the south,
but Of America, in an article SO much in de-
mand in the civilized world as marble is, We
will soon begin to reap the reward it viii
bring. Already the assessed value Of prop
crty in Pickens county is five times as much
as ii once was, ana nothing has added more
TO its wealth than the marble industry there.
II gives employment To a largo number of
lis citizens Ii furnishes market for the
farmer to sell all his spare products. In
short, il helps every human being in the
county more or less. Besides, there is some
satisfaction in knowing that you live in a
county that has the largest marble industry
in America

other series of commissions and tried to shake
the atmosphere with their horriSed cries.
1t was to amelorate the mental condition,
of these nervous people that the rumor was
corrected. If it is ''squeamish," as Editor
Richardson buoyantly remarks, to tell the
truth, why then there was squeamishness
displayed, for Brother Blaine has not beeni
invited to the Chautauqua, and the proprie-I
ty Of inviting him has never been discussed
by the directors. 1t was necessary to make
this plain statement in order to prevent ths
hysterians from taking to the woods at a
time when such a flight would be prema-
ture, to say the least.
But this much Is certain--if the direc.
tors of the Chautauqua feel that it is deSra-
bic to extend an invitation to Mr.. Blaine or
to any other American citizen, they will not
take the trouble to consult with the hyste-
rians about it. At the same time, there is
no reason why the hysterians should cut up
any unnecessary capers. The weather is
hot and commissions and conniption fits are
wearing to the system. 1t will be time.
enough for the contortionists to throw
themselves out of joint at the ankles and
knees when they discover that Mr.. Blaine
has been invited to the Chautauqua and has
accepted.
Meanwhile it is we'll enough to bear in
mind that the democratic party of Georgia
is too big an affair to be troubled or dis
gruntled by republican orators. 1t is, in
fact, not mainly composed of hysterians,

yyhat a Confederate General rs Doing.

The republican newspapers and campaign
orators make it point to keep their eyes on
the ex-confederate generals, the "rebeR
brigadiers," as they call them, and when
one of these veterans makes speech or ap-
pears at reunion of his comrades, the par
tisaus on the other side make the most of it.
But the republican shriekers have found
one ex-confederate general whose conduct
gives them little room for their idle talk.
This is General Rosser, of Virginia. This
gallant officer has gone to work to collect
information concerning the sparsely settled
lands of the Piedmont region of Virginia,
with full particulars as to price, location
and productiveness. These facts will be
presented in illustrated pamphlets, which
will be distributed throughout the north
with view to inducing immigration.
Now there is nothing disloyal in this line
of business, nothing that can injure the OLD
flag or the government. When our north
ern friends come to look into the situation
from fair standpoint, they will find that
the majority of our eX-generals and eX-sol-
diers are far more interested in immigra-
ton, industry and business than they are in
politics. General Rosser is by no means
alone in the good work in which he is now
engaged
The old south, as we'll as the new south,
wants immigrants, railroads, factories and
all sorts of new industries. In the matter
of politics the southerners propose to take
just enough interest in public affairs to Sc
cure and maintain an honest government,
and they can do this without neglecting the
material enterprises which are now claiming
their attention.

The White Pasha,

Who is the White Pasha?
This question is now puzzling all Europe,
and nearly every African traveller has been
called upon for an opinion.
At first the wild theory was advanced that
the mysterious individual was General Cor
don, who by some means had made his
escape from Khartoum.
This idea twas quickly given up, and it was
surmised that the White Pasha was Stanley
ON his way to the Nile with the design of
descending the river to attack the Madhi at
Khartoum. Some think that it is Emin
Bey, marching across the country to join
Stanley.
There are not many white men in Africa,
whose prestige would enable them to collect
an army of blacks and hold them we'll in
hand. The only two men able to do it are
Emin Bey and Stanley, and of the two, it
seems to us that the American explorer is
the better fitted for such task. But it is
not reasonable to believe that Stanley enter
tains the mad design of attacking Khar-'
toum. 1t is more likely that he Is hunting
for Emin Bey, who may have been COM
PEELED to abandon his stronghold with the
idea of reaching the coast.
In the course of few weeks or months
the question may be settled. The expedi-
ton which is shortly to start in search of
Stanley, under the guidance and with the
assistance of that powerful chief, Tippoo
lib, will probably be able to find the White
Pasha, whoever he may be, and rescue him
from what must be perilous position.
The unraveiing of this romance of the dark
continent will be watched with interest by
people of all civilized lands.

Mr.. Jay Gould Is in bad fix. He cannot
sleep. lie has Travelled, tried opiates and
consulted the doctors, but still he finds him
self wideawake night after night.
An impertinent little paper, published
right under the great millionaire's nose,
suggests remedy 1t advises Mr.. Gould
to DO little good with some of his money.
The suggestion is an admirable one. What
is the use of piling up millions of dollars if
the curse of some poor man or poor woman
is TO come with every dollar? Peabody,
Cooper and Childs did not have the half of
Mr.. Gould's fortune, but they did so much
good in the world that the poor blessed
them, and their names will live forever
Now, Mr.. Gould has all his life been pos
ing as a plutocrat. Why not come out in a
new rOle-that of a man, man sympa-
thizing with his fellow men, and anxious to
relieve them of their burdens?
This is big suggestion, but it would give
Mr.. Gould refreshing change. If he will
try this new life in earnest he will soon be
able to dismiss his doctors, and he viii
sleep the happy sleep that he enjoyed when
lie was an innocent country lad, with no
thought of wrecking railroads, watering
stock and grinding the wealth of Cr@sus
out of the necessities Of the poor.
We know that this is ugly advice, but a
man like Mr. Gould must be prepared for
plain talk at all times. Turn over new
leaf, Mr. Gould, before it is too late.

A Dazzling Prospect.

Unless big mistake has been made some
where, the civilization of the age, or at
least the industrial part of it, is about to
undergo a revolution.
1t is no strike, no socialistic movement;
1t is simply discovery, and aluminium is at
the bottom of it all. According to appa-
rently well-authenticated reports, the Essen
Krupp Gun works, near Cologne, Germany,
are turning out aluminium at a cost of
twenty-five cents pound. In order to
fully understand the surprising nature of
this statement it is only necessary to men
ton the fact that in 1858 this metal was
worth $240 pound. A steady decrease has
since brought it down to five dollars a
pound, but the drop to twenty-five cents is
simply paralyzing.
Aluminium is found in common clay
everywhere in the proportion of from two
to ten pounds to every 100 pounds of clay
1t is the most abundant of all metals.
If the reports are correct about the new
methods of extracting it cheaply, it goes
without saying that it win supplant iron.
II weighs three times less and is one-third
less bulky than iron. AT twenty-five cents
pound it will pay to build railway trains,
ships and houses of aluminium. Streets
will be paved with it, bridges will be built
of it, and it will be used for carriages, fur
niture and host of things. Besides its
cheapness the great point in favor OF
aluminium is its lightness. The Chicago
| Tribune in burst of enthusiasm predicts that
entire cities will be built of it, that old-tmC
manufacturing processes will be killed, and
that employment in new industries will be
| given to all the unemployed.
| 1t is too big thing for the mind to take
In all at once. When We are told that the
laborious and costly methods of working
iron ore viii be q thing of the past, anc
that the whole world will be able at triflins
expense to extract from common clay ar
ineXhaustible supply of this glittering, sill
very metal, it is almost impossible to be
lieye it. Roughly stated, it may be sait
that aluminium is stronger than steel, ant
as light as chalk. If there is any truth il

her health was all that she could wish.
She was the widow of the late George

those about her. AS one has aptly
put it, their home was known far aud
