Can newspaper please everybody?
1t cannot. Ought everybody to be
pleased? No. Why not? Well, if
a newspaper pleased everybody, and
If everybody were pleased, the time
spent here on earth would be so
fearfully monotonous that the. PEG
pie would not care how soon the old
globe on which we reposed went to
pieces. A newspaper must rattle
the dry bones, make everybody mad,
be boycottei, kick up Jack, tell the
truth, expose falsehood, lay bare
hypocricy, fraud and the like, and
trust to the sober second though of
all fair minded people.

A VETERAN.

A Veteran who had been through
a halt dozen campaigns and was very
particular about what he ate, was
invited out to grand dinner party.
He sat almost directly opposite the
the hostess, and was painfully con-
scious that every move he made
could be observed by her. Sudden
ly, at the height of festivities, the
veteran came across caterpillar in
his salad. A furtive glance at the
hostess disclosed the fact that she,
too, had discovered the embarrass-
ing circumstances. 1t was a critical
moment, but the old soldier was
equal to the occasion. Without
changing q muscle, he gathered up
the caterpillar with torkful of SAL
ad and swallowed both. The look
of gratitude which he received from
his hostess few minutes later
warmed his heart. In due time the
story leaked out, AID when some
body asked the old campaigner how
ne liked caterpillar salad, the reply
came like a re hot shot: "Do you
take me for man who would spoil
a dinner party for a little thing like
a CATERPILLAR"

Owens Jones, colored, assaulted,
II year old white girl in Pulaski
county, and was lynched last Thurs
day. Will Lowe, negro, was lynch
ed near Valdosta, for an attempted
assault on a white girl. The ire
quency of this fearful crime by me-
groes upon white women, is becom-
ing dreadfully alarming, notwith-
standing the fact that death is always
visited upon the criminal when
caught.

Tom Reed, who is bowling over
the country about negro suffrage in
the South, virtually admits that he
is perfectly willing to disfranchise
every negro in the land, provided
he could be left out of the census IN
order not to figure in the apportion-
meut of Congressional representa-
ton. That shows the character of
Reeds concern for the negro.

STATE CONNECTS.

Col. J. R. Towers, principal keep
err of the penitentiary in his official
report to the Governor, and to the
present Legislature gives some irfor>
nation that is very interesting. On
the first of October 1880, there were
1887 convicts; received since, to
October 1st, 1890, 900; escapes re-
captured s; total number handled
during two years 2,511. Of this
number there have been discharged
by expiration of sentence, 583; died,
LOT .pardons and combinations, ";
returned to courts for new trials,
10; escaped, 40; sent to asylum, 2 !;
total ST. On roll, October, LIST,
1890, there were 1854. Of these,
1,478 are colored; 1913 white; 48
colored females. No white females.
From the above it will be seen that
the negro race contributes 80 per
cent. and the white race ten per
cent. of the penitentiary population.
The counties having the large cities,
Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Macon
and Columbus, contribute 492 con-
victs or 90 and fraction of per
cent of the whole. Fulton county
contributes 1879; Chatham 100 !;
Richmond 50; Bib "a; Muscogee
81. Cobb has 10. There has been
gradual decrease of sickness, show
ing great care and improvement
of the health of convicts.
The separation of female convicts
from the males has proven a wise
step, and the morality of the camp
has been bettered. More comfortable
barracks and hospitable buildings,
and the excellent management have
shown fewer escapes, only 40 es-
capes In two years. The State is
indebted to Col j. r. Towers, the
principal keeper, for the splendid
showing and great improvement
made. He has systematizvd and
kept matters in such good shape as
to win the good will and the graft
tude of the conyicts. He has shown
himself to be an efficient, competent
and humane officer. With his pres
ent experience and familiarity with
the management of the State con-
victs, his removal would be serious
blow to the welfare of these unfor-
Inmates. He is the right man in the
right place, and We trust His Excel
lency, Governor Northen, will take
the best interests of the State in
consideration and keep this faithful
public servant in the position of
principal keeper, the duties of which
he has discharged with such eminent
satisfaction and credit.

Pride of opinion is sign Of weak
ness, rather than strength. The
man who knows most, realizes that
he knows little IN comparison with
what he might know. 1t is the man
who has little knowledge who thinks
that he knows all that is worth
knowing on any subject. The opin-
donated mau is pretty sure to be "a
man whose opinion is Of little value
at the point where his pride of opin.
ion centers. This is truth to be
borne in mind in our judgment Of
ourselves as we'll as of others.

REPUBLICAN PARTIZAN.

EDS. JOURNAL am surprised
that what | said in approval of the
words of DR.. FELTON,, quoted in your
Journal of 23d ult., as from a speech
of his in Augusta in 1882, should
have called forth so vigorous and
eloquent condemnation of them in
your succeeding number.
The quotation opens with state.
ment of facts which he asserts ex
listed in many election dirtricts in
Georgia at the then recent election.
which [ think no one thoroughly
conversant with the politics of the
time will contradict. He then sug-
gests the remedy, viz: that con-
gressional elections should be un.
der control of two SUPERVISOR ap-
pointed by the U. s government,
who should represent the parties in
the contest and thus secure lair play
and these supervisors should be ap-
pointed and required to act in every
congressional district. ! fail to see
rank treason in this, and fail to see
what there is in it that could have
shocked and called forth the con.
demnation OF such men as Jefferson
and Madison, who, with their con-
peers, led by George Washington,
incorporated in the constitution Of
the United States the provision that
Congress should have power to make
laws to regulate and control the
election of it's members. One word
in regard to ''the unseating of dem.
ocratic congressman through Tom
Reeds arbitrary rulings"
In the 50th Congress there were
about a dozen contested seats, &C.
cupied by democrats, and contested
by republicans. Not one of the
contestors was admitted, though
there were several cases which
showed very strong evidence that
the contestors had received the ma
jority of legal votes.
In the 51st Congress there were
sixteen seats held by republicans
that were contested by democrats.
In six of these cases the committee
on elections reported in favor of the
contestant, and the House voted
approval, while ten of the sixteen
were unseated on evidence reported
by the committee. One of these
was the member from the Beaufort
district. S. c., who had heroically
overcome a republican majority OF
six or seven thousand by the ingen-
lous arts condemned by DR.. FELTON,.
SUBSCRIBER.
The only reply necessary to be
made to the above is to state TO our
readers that the author of the above
is a Republican who has lived
South long enough to know that the
elections are conducted with as
much or more fairness than they
are conducted in any Republican
State North, and that each candi-
date has friend and supporter as
one OF the managers. We know of
know instance where this has not
been the case. 1t is therefore sur
prising to US that the writer would
intimate anything to the contrary.
The Constitution Of the United
States says: "The times, places
and manner of holding elections for
Senators and Representatives shall
be prescribed in each State by the
Legislature thereof; but the Con-
gress may at any time, by law, make,
or alter such regulations, except as
to place of choosing Senators. The
trainers of this constitution never
contemplated, nor no where says
that the managers shall be supervis-
ors OF a partizan party, or shall be
appointees of the general govern

TO COLOMBO MEXICO.
A Batch Of Items Regarding the In
habitants Of Japan.

The latest Japanese advices are to the
effect that there is movement on foot
to plant colony Of japanese in Mexico.
A Mr.. Vogel, representing the colony of Mex
leo, has been in Japan trying to induce the
government to accede to his scheme. He has
received semi-oftcial sanction, apd expects to
send over 1900 lnborers before 4e end of the
month at wages of 60 to 70 cent? per day.
Chinese advices state that there has been
great gambling in silver in Hong Kong, and
the Hong Kong and Shanghai bank is said to
have made millions out of the deal When
Mexican dollars were valued at "a cents, and
before the silver bill passed the United States
Congress, the bank purchased all the Mexican
dollars it could get. When the silver bill be-
came law the value of the Mexican dollar
took jump and the bank sold all it had at So
cents. Before the deal the banks shares were
quoted at SL25. Since they have been almost
unprocurable ut S226.

NO PATENT ON THE NAME.
Any Candidate May Call Himself q
Democrat.

One hundred citizens Of Rochester, second
assembly district of Monroe county, NY. hay
ing prepared and filed with the county clerk a
nominating certificate under the provisions Of
section Of chapter 262, laws Of 1870, which
designates Edmund Redmond to represent the
signers at the coming election for member Of
assembly, and having selected the void "dem-
ocratic" as designating the principles which
the candidate is supposed to represent, and
Redmond, who is commissioner of deeds, hav-
ing himself taken the acknowledgment of q
majority of the signers, County Clerk Oliver
asked Attorney General Tabor for his opinion
as to the validity Of the certificate.
The Attorney General has rendered his opin-
lon In which he holds that while the second
objection raises doubt as to the validity Of the
certificate, it is immaterial, as no objection to
the certificate has been filed. As to the use of
the word democratic" the Attorney General
says:
las to this objection to the certificate, do
not think it sufficient to invalidate il. There
is nothing to prohibit 100 citizens calling their
Independent nomination democratic and no
patent or exclusive claim to the word arises
from long or prior use. Neither do see how
any confusion can arise from the use OF the
term. The ballots contain nothing but the
names Of the candidates. and the only means
of Distinguishing democratic from a republic
can ballot will be the names Of the candi-
dates"

IN A PERILOCS PLACE.
A Richmond Actress Stands Asleep on
the COrnice of q House.

As colored man was walking down Frank
lin street just below Governor street in Rich
mond yesterday morning early he saw a beau
tiful woman, in a nude condition, standing on
the cornice of Putnam's boarding house. The
negro ran to Mr.. George Bannister's place and
informed him of the perilous position of the
young lady. Mr.. Bannister fastened round to
to the house and saw her standing like statue.
From the glare Of the electric light Mr.. Ban
mister saw at once that the young lady was
asleep. Her eyes were open, but seemed to be
fixed on some object.
MIR. Bannister and another gentleman stood
on the pavement with outstretched arms to
catch the young woman in her descent If she
should step off, and ordered the negro to go in
the house and awaken Capt Putnam. The
captain hastily dressed himself and went to
the window, which was just back of the fair
sleep walker, and taking her gently by the arms
pulled her into the room and escorted her back
to her room. The sleep walker was Miss Clara
Shaw, one Of the actresses at the Comique.
The young woman evidently has no recollection
of her somnambulistic feat, as she said nothing
about 1t afterward and her companions re-
Trained from referring to it.

MOONLIGHT STORM.
Just as the moon was getting 'fuil" one
night and shone clear and beautiful in per-
fectiy cloudess sky violent thunder storm
arose in the mountains to the southeast, followed
them through the south and west, then along
their crests through the north and finally along
through the east back to its starting point
without obscuring the moons face or ruiiing
the sky about it. To all who watched it the
phenomenon was as peculiar as IL was beauti-
ful. In this connection let me say that the
sunsets are here remarkably and exquisitely
grand. As the great light Of all nations sinks
TO Its rest behind the mountains the great Blue
Ridge acts as a mirror, by which its reflections
are thrown upon the eastern sky, producing
cloud effects Of marvellous beauty and q rich
ness Of color seldom seen.
