Filling the Offices.

Filling the Offices.
Senator Philetus Sawyer, of Wis
consin, in a recent conversation,
said: 81 am very much pleased with
President Harrison. He is level
headed and is giving us a splendid
administration He does ali of his
work thoroughly" Republicans
generally, certainly after reflection,
must agree with the veteran Senator
from Wisconsin. 1t may have been
disappointing to those Republicans
who desired a sudden and general
removal of Democrats from office,
and the appointment of Republicans
in their places, to learn of the de-
termination of President Harrison
to move slowly, with becoming dig
nifty and with caution in making
changes. 1t must be admitted on
all sides that the Presidential APP
pointments have been in the main,
if not wholly, highly creditable.
Republicans have accepted the APP
pointments with satisfaction, and
have not hesitated to highly com
mend the President in nearly every
instance, and only in a few cases
have the Democrats entered serious
complaints or made unfavorable
criticism.
But the administration should not
be Judged by the work of the Pres
ident and heads Of departments in
filling the various offices. That is
only a small part Of the multiplicity
Of duties which fall to the President
and his advisers. 1t is true that
during the past twenty-five years the
methods and policy of making APP
pointments have grown in import:
ance in the eyes of a very large
class, and with that class it will
continue to be a matter Of vast i'm
portance; and, in point of fact, it is
a matter Of Importance; yet it is of
little account compared with many
other duties which fall upon the
shoulders Of the President and the
Cabinet. Very few Presidents,
during the past thirty years, have
moved as carefully and with as
much circumspection in the matter
of making appointments as has
President Harrison, and uuquestion-
ably he has moved in that way be
cause of his determination TO make
as few mistakes as possible in his
selections. He has not regarded the
matter of Immediately filling the
offices with his party friends of as
much Importance as other work
which comes to the President to
perform. Judging the future by
tbs past, every Republican may
feel assured that in due time mem
bers of his party will FIJI the various
positions Of honor and trust now
filled by Democrats; for, while
President Harrison is a statesman,
and Il conscientious statesman, and
is as sincere in his efforts to give
the country a good administration
as ware any Of his predecessors, he
is also a Republican, thorough
going Republican, and firmly estab-
lished in his love for the party; and
he would not knowingly do anything
to iujure it in the slightest, IT create
dissatisfaction in the ranks of any
class of Republicans. The Presi-
dent has won the respect and conf
dence Of the masses as but few
Presidents ever did in the same
length Of time, and Republicans
may well trust him for the faithful
performance of his duties to his
country and to the party that ele-
waited him to his high position

more than two days a week in

prepare the message month earlier

Walker Blaine has returned to
Washington and says he will remain

not say SO in so many words but he
intimates that his father, the Secre-
tary, will not return before Septem-
Der unless something very important
shall occur to make his presence
here necessary.

Secretary Bussey of the Interior

been "bounced." The only founda-

missioner Tanner and Assistant
Secretary Bussey both assured your
correspondent that there was not,
nor had there been at any time the
slightest trouble between the Secre-
tary and the Commissioner, and that

An illustration Of how much our
country is enriched by European
immigration is seen from the fact
that one steamer recently took
twenty.eight Italians back to Italy,
each carrying from $4,000 to SIS, 900
earned in this country, but taken
back to be enjoyed in the old
country. Probably each one Of the
twenty-eight had voted, or been
voted, a dozen times in this country,
and 80 helped to decide our great

MARIETTA, g s.,
THURSDAY MORNING. JAN ;. -


A correspondent in the Alban5
News makes some very pertinent
remarks upon this subject. Atoor Z
other things he says:
1t is the idlers and shirl<ers Who
are the non-produccs rs well rs
consumers. Such class is menace,
if not direct tax that must be paid
by the willing workers, who have
but little prospect for Immediate re-
dress.
1t would seem that in the present
active demand for laborers, any able
bodied man who really desired en-
ployment. could readily secure it at
fair compensation.
1t is the tramp, per Sc, the in
grained dead-beat and loafer, who
seems willing to undergo any amount
Of privation rather than engage in
the lightest employment for subsis-
tence.
Why Is it that these people are
allowed to remain from day to day
as a burden and hindrance to the
working classes a.? There must be
some restrictions to which they are
subject, if 50, why is it that such
limitation is not enforced
Reference, is Of course, had to
those who have no visible means OF
support to those who "toil not,
neither do they SPIN and yet seem
to be in about as good condition as
their more energetic neighbors.
Ii, therefore, the force of public
opinion does move them to an exalt-
ed sense Of their obligations to So
clety, 1t We're well to afford them
still stronger incentive in gratui-
tous transportation to other fields OF
conquest and greener pastures.

A PLEA FOR HOME INDUSTRIES.

The JOURNAL has been agitating
the subject of home factories of late
and will continue TO do SO. In this
connection the following from one
Of Henry Grady's recent speeches
will do the study about seriously for
a whole week
1--WE realize in Atlanta that we
cannot make city out of CONNER
clal agencies, not even il We had
the wealth Of Gould or the grim de-
termination of old Hutch. We
must try to build up our cities by
manufacturing enterprises. We had
funeral in PicKens county, in our
state, which startled US. We had
to dig through three feet of marble
to make the grave, and yet the mar
bic slab that formed the headstone
was made in Vermont. The pine
Of which the coffin was made came
from Cincinnati, when there was 3
timber forest within one hundred
feet OF the graveyard the nails that
held it together were purchased in
Pittsburg; the cloth that covered it
was also imported in fact, we dis
covered that Georgia furnished moth
ing for that funeral but the hole in
the ground and the corpse. The
shirt that covered him came from
New York, his coat from Chicago,
his shoes from Boston, and he had
nothing to remind him in the next
world of the state that he came from
but the marrow in his bones and the
chilled blood in his veins. We
made up our mind that no state
could succeed with such funerals.

TRUCK FARMING INDUSTRY.

There is more money in truck
farming than in any other branch of
farming. An experienced and en-
ergetlc truck farmer reaps more
profits from few acres of land than
the ordinary farmer does from a ten
mule farm. As population increas-
es farms will necessarily be divided
into smaller sections, but this does
not mean reduction of the farm
ers income. While his farm will
be smaller, it viii be sown with a
greater variety Of crops, be better
cultivated and will bring him more
clear profits. The value of his lands
will also be increased. 1t matters
not how many people come to the
south, the farming interests will not
suffer. On the contrary it will be-
come more important and more
profitable. The more people we
have the more truck farming indus
try will thrive.

INCOME AND EXPENSES

Men who are en- tagged IN business,
whether large or small, usually have
q set of books in which are recorded
the progress and state of that bust
ness. All the money received is
recorded, and all they pay out is
also recorded. At stated periods
they compare the two records, aud
take an account of stock on hand,
as we'll as of debts due from them
and good debts due to them and in
this way they ascertain whether they
arc making money, or loaing money,
and if the former, how much they
are making. No man can wisely or
safely conduct business without
such system Of accounts in respect
to his business. He cannot carry
il in his head

q nfn Aho j. N receipt Of salary
1t the rate Of two thousand dollars a
year, and wh) has a family to sup
port. This salary he receives in
twelve monthly payments. Let US
suppose him to keep an account
with himself. When he receives a
monthly payment he charges him
self as debtor to that amount and
during the month he credits him
self with all he pays ont, item by
item. At the end of the, month he
settles this account with himself,
and sees on paper just where the
money came from and just where it
has gone. If he spent less than he
received he carries the surplus on
to the next month, and keeps an
account of the month in the same
way, and thus continues for the
whole year. At the end of the year
he can look back over the whole pc
Rod, and see in black and white Just
how he has lived in the matter of
personal and family expenses If
his whole salary has been spent he
can see how it was spent and, it
part of it has been saved, he can
equally see how he managed to save
it.
No person will thus deal with
himself in the matter Of income and
expenses without teaching him
self many useful lessons. His own
history thus placed before him will
oe an instructive one to himself.
since it will reveal to him in items
his wisdom or folly in his manner of
living. The truth is, that most
men in this world succeed by econo-
my in little savings, or trail by
prodigality in little things. A regu-
lar account kept with ones self will
show him this fact, placing before
his eye either his wisdom or his en-
ror and if the latter, suggesting to
him where and in what manner to
make a change.
The question of expenses, as com
pared with income, is very vital
question in the matter of economi-
cal thrift. The man who spends all
he receives, if poor, will always
keep himself IN that state. lie who
spends less than he receives will be
constantly improving his financial
condition.
