The suggestion of Gov. Gordon that on
the day of Mr.. Davis funeral all friends of
ex-confederate veterans hold meetings for
the purpose of raising fund for Mrs. Davis
and her daughter, is an excellent one, and
one that is sure to meet with hearty ap-
prevail 1t was well-known several
months before Mr.. Davis death that
he was struggling with financial
difficulties, and movement was
inaugurated to extricate him from them. Ii
is about certain, therefore, that Mrs. Davis
and her daughter are not very well pro-
vided for. There is no doubt that the
southern people will be glad to contribute t.
fund for their support. A small sun
from those who are willing to contribute
will make a very handsome sum. All the
people want is a chance to give, and they
will be prompt to show their appreciation
of their dead leader by assisting his family

An Error In Ethics.

A lost-car tracer on a western road. says the
St Louis Globe Democrat, had a superintendent
whose language was so thickly interlarded with
oaths and vituperation, that it would hardly
pass in polite society. He had it in for the
tracer and once, when the latter, in explana-
ton of his inability TO locate g lost laundry
check which had been mislaid by the general
manager, modestly claimed that the recovery
of such property was not exactly in the line of
his duties, the superintendent opened on him in
q choice collection of blue profanity that made
the poor tracer tremble. When he escaped
from his superior he related his woes to a
brother subordinate in the superintendent's
office.

The st. Augustine Ne'0s gets in telling
argument for Florida when it says that, in
estimating the inducements which that state
offers to immigrants, great consideration
should be given to the fact that man can
turn his labor to account every month.
"The Florida farmer" it says, 'is never
driven to period of enforced idleness, as
in the harsher climates, where for long
terms his fields are frozen and unproduct-
i've. Each month has its labor and its
crop. A family can live comfortably on
five acres of good land in this state, while
in other sections one household could not
get along with less than fifty acres y
Florida is a state of wonderful resources
and that is one reason why so many people
go there to live. Another reason is thei
Floridians make known her resources.

Made Them More Careful
Eron the Nev York Tribune.

tsThe incessant trouble that many of your
iudges seem to have" said Florida lawyer on
q visit to this city, with Col. Fellows your
district attorney, in squirting him on to have his
cases ready for trial when they are called, re-
minds me of one of our judges who had to go
down to the Indian river country twice year
10 hold court The lawyers down there were
good -natured, indolent fellows, who never had
their cases ready for trial when called. The
iud9e had often been forced to spend week In
the close little court house, and at the dreadful
hotels. when two days prompt work would
have wiped off the calendar. He had scolded
and threatened to no purpose many time
Court week was q semi annual celebration
and near, and the tavern keepers expected to
make a good thing of it, and were seldom dis
appointed. But the judge determined TO teach
them lesson on this occasion.
HE opened court promptly, with the result
that one half the cases on the calendar were
called before counsel began to arrive VI the
other half not a single case was ready. Every
LAWYER had a witness missing or juror late, OF
some legal formality yet TO be complied witt, ano
ali noted how affabe tue judge was in granting
a few hours time on the most trivial plea,
Finally when the clerk of the court announced
that no more cases were on the calendar, the
Judge gravely replied
"7Mr. Clerk, all these cases are continued
until next term This court is going fishing.
Next term was six months off, and there
was great indignation, but the old judge coult
not be prevailed upon to change his mind. Ther

Some of the newspapers assert that the
President stole ex-Commissioner Tanners
thunder when he recommended pension
for every union veteran who, though sound
when he came out of the war, is now I'M
able on account of disease or accident to
earn living. They say that in the report
submitted by the corporal to Secretary
Noble that suggestion was made. 1t was
suppressed as part of Tanners report,
but it reached the President through that of
Mr. Noble. 1t seems pretty mean for
President Harrison to appropriate Tanners
suggestions. and then kick him out of Office,
but as a matter of fact no credit attaches
to anybody for the recommendation &c
greatly increase the too heavy pension bur
den by placing premium upon deception
and laziness.

The esteemed Philadelphia Press is con-
siderably wrought up because Mr.. Marquis
is going to contest the election of Mr.. Lamp
son, who, on the face of the returns, re-
celved twenty-five plurality for lieutenant
governor of Ohio 1t seems to think that
the democrats are going to resort to unfair
means to defeat Lampson-in other words,
that they are going to work sort of re-
turning board racket. The Press need not
fear anything like that. Republicans alone
resort to returning board methods. If the
assertion of the Press that every charge of
irregularity in the returns can be shown to
be unfounded is true, then Mr.. Lampson
will be lieutenant governor. All that the
| democrats want is for the irregularities TO
be corrected, if they exist. Mr.. Marquis
doesn't care particularly for the office, the
only duty of which is to preside over the
senate, but he doesn't propose to lose it il
the people have elected him.

The Sparta IstmaeIite thinks that it re-
fleets the sentiments of the farmers of
Georgia when it opposes union of the
farmers alliance and the Knights Of Labor.
The IshmaeLite is published at the home of
Col. Northen, who is a candidate for COVER
nor, and who expects strong support from
the farmers. 1t may, therefore, be said to
reflect Col Northen's sentiments. 1t gen
orally speaks of Col. Northern as if by au-
thority. Col Livingston, the president OF
| the Farmers Alliance of Georgia, is also a
candidate for governor, and he is greatly
| in favor of the proposed union. 1t remains
| to be seen whether the farmers will indorse
| Col. Northen or Col. Livingston In this
/ matter.
