Georgia's Prosperity.

An interesting communication about
Georgia and her people, from Col. r. VI
Johnston. Of Baltimore, appeared in the
Sun, published in that city, few days ago.
Col Johnston was on a visit in the state re-
Gently. He Is close observer Of
men and things. The colonel
notices marked changes for the
better in the general condition of the people,
but finds that some of the rural comm uni
ties have been much oppressed by debt.
This, however, is not considered by him
drawback TO progress; on the contrary,
he is Of the opinion that there
Is general prosperity, and that the
bad financial condition Of the rural com
munities is mainly due TO careless economy
IN a region in which notably it Is 50 easy to
make good living.
The proceeds OF the crops last year re-
moved many mortgage and gave promise
to unembarrasse1 accumulation hence
forth. Besides, Col. Johnston says,
much more discreet methods Of
farming have come into vogue.
The cooperation Of intelligent agricultur-
lists has wrought great changes. particu-
larly in giving more ground proportion
ately TO the raising of other products than
cotton. Col Johnston points out that good
and cheap productive lands, with every
assurance of rapid increase in value. can be
found in this state in abundance
He says; "Farns Of excellent, not over
worn ground, with good dwellings and out
houses, in as good neighborhood as anybody
ever lived in, can be gotten for from 81 TO
81 an acre, which ten years hence will prob
ably bring ten times as much. Thousands
of planters owning vastly more than they
do now or ever will need are anxious to
greet settlers from higher ATTITUDES or from
abroad. The politics with which these come
would make no difference in the welcome
which they would get"
Capitalists are seeking for new fields for
investment and farmers are seeking new
homes. 1t will not be long, therefore, be-
fore they will recognize the benefits and
advantages which Georgia offers. The tide
of immigration is soutnward now. Farmers
can find in Georgia what they want. They
need not go to the far west. Here both
soil and climate are all they could ask
for. There is room for millions
of capital to be proftably en-
ployed. Georgia soil is rich and plenti-
full, railways lead in every direction to all
the great markets. and there are many
chances for investment in industrial enter
prises. AS soon as the varied opportunities
this state presents are understood gener-
ally, as they are by Col. Johnston, Georgia S
prosperity will be greater than ever.

1t Happened to be Blaine.

Mr. Blaines experience with the telephone
says the New York Tribune, has made the life
of one of the employees of the state department
a hollow mockery for more than a week He
lives in constant terror of TIE wrath to come.
MIR. Blaine 1t appears, was anxious to commu-
nlcate with the departme Mt from distant part
of the city. He, therefore. called up his office
over the telephone wire. Owing to some cleo
trcal defect, due doubtless to the weather, he
was unable to make himself thoroughly under
stood. AS not infrequently happens, he could
hear with perfect dlstinctness all that the man
at the other end of the wire was saving While
the clerk struggled vain y to distinguish single
syllable of what the sec, etary was trying to
pour into his ear Finally the clerk, annoyed
by the trouble and delay, said in angry tone !;
We'll. VINO in - are you, anyhow"
Perhaps Mr.. Blaine spoke with more emphasis
or with greater attention to articu alton when
he replied. Whatever the cause, the first intell-
gbe words which found their way to the ear of
the angry clerk were those which said in reply
to his profane question:
MY name is Blaine and happen to be the
Secretary of State"
The shock which the clerk experienced was
severe, but it was nothing to the lingering
agony of doubt which followed it and which
even now is harrassing his anxious mind. Mr.
Blaine has shown no disposition to resent the
unintentional familiarity and the incident will
probably drop into oblivion in week or two.

Her Ambition.

asked my five children last night what they
intended to be when they grew up" said Clerk
Cunningham of the Palmer house to the Chi
cago Post reporter. Il always like to have an
eye out for the future, you know, and so
thought I'd sound them and be able to direct
their education accordingly, for there's nothing
like beginning young, as the baby remarked
when he took to the bottle. Well, my oldest
boy thought he would like to be a minister. |

despite his evil associates, hotel clerk is some
times able to keep his skirts from contamina-
ton and bring up his offspring in a wholesome
atmosphere. The next boy said he wanted to
run grip car. The third wanted to be a sailor,
and the fourth a board of trade Speculation
This descent rather took my breath away, and
turned gladly to the fifth child my little girl,
for her answer, which would, l knew, lift me
up beside my first. And what do you want to
be when you finish your education, Hypatia:' l
asked
so don't want to finish my education she
replied.
Indeed! And what is it my little girl is so
anxious TO be?'
''She looked me straight in the eye and said
with determination that made me think of her
father: I want to be mother"

Confusion as to Divine Guidance.

In the early days of Maine Methodism, says
the San Francisco Argondut, it was the custom
for young ministers to consult their presiding
elders before taking a wife. Once, during a
camp meeting in eastern Maine. a young
minister approached the presiding elder and
and said he wished to be married.
Whom do you propose to marry" asked the
elder
Well said the young man. the Lord has
made known to me very clearly that should
marry Sister Mary Turner
Il know her we'll. said the elder: she is a
fine girl ] will see you again before the meet
ing closes"
During the week four other young ministers
consulted the presiding elder on the subject of
marriage. Each of them gave the name of the
young woman to whom he proposed to offer
himself. They had all prayed over the matter
a great deal, and each was certain that it was
the Lords desire that he should marry the per-
son named. Neither of the five young men
knew that any one else had consulted the elder
on that subject. On the last day of the camp
meeting, at noon, the elder called the five young
ministers to his tent to receive his opinion. He
said
Now. brethren, it may be the will of God for
you to marry, but it is not His will that five
Methodist ministers should marry little Mary
Turner

Ex-rreasurer Archer's Case.

The action of e1-State Treasurer Archer,
of Maryland, in pleading guilty to the
charge of embezzlement against him put
an end to the case, the trial Of which it was
thought would develop the fact that others
were implicated in his crime. He denied in
court that he had accomplices.
The testimony before the legislative COM
mittee which investigated the case how
ever, while not directly duplicating any
one. went to show that others shared the
plumber. The prosecution expected that
this would be brought out in the cross
examination at the trial, and that
the other guilty parties, whoever they
might be. would be brought to justice.
But in this the state was disappointed.
Archer, in order to avoid long trial, seeing
that conviction would certainly be the re-
suit of it, awaited himself of the right to
plead guilty, and thus saved his accom-
plices, if he had any, from exposure. His
conviction is, therefore, not regarded as a
complete triumph for justice.
Archer was a self-confessed criminal.
Yet there were men who said that he de-
served pity and clemency, and these same
men were ready 10 START movement 10

spectacle people when he is dishonest in
public affairs than when he picks a pocket

How Jerry Went Back on the Crowd.
Every boy of US in the village knew Uncle
Jerry Crawford. He was dried-up old man.
and never seemed 10 get any older, although
always complaining. The form Of salutation
was invariably this.

drummer called out:

The sentence imposed on the four men
who committed the ballot box frauds in
Jersey City is not a bit more severe than
they deserved. They will have to serve
eighteen months in the penitentiary and psy
the costs of prosecution. Three of them
were democrats and one a republican. He
claimed that he had been intimidated by
the democrats, but the judge very properly
took different view of the case. He was
recommended to mercy by the jury. The
court. however, disregarded the recon-
mendation. In passing sentence on the re-
publican inspector the judge said Your
offense is of a deeper dye than that of your
companions. You were placed at the polls
to protect the interests of your party. You
proved traitor to your trust, and while
you could have prevented the success of the
plot you helped to carry it out" 1t is to be
hoped that the prompt punishment of this
class of offenders may prove a warning to
others who tamper with elections.

The latest scheme for the solution of the
race problem has been suggested by Thomas
Dawson, a California editor, who proposes
the wholesale migration of the colored pee
pie to Africa. The idea is to form a stock
company, with a capital of $40, 100000 the
organization to be known as the East Afri-
can Company, and to ship emigrants to
Africa at the company's expense. Mr.
Dawson will find that he will make bad
investment in a scheme OF this kind. The
home of the negro is in the south, and he
will never leave it. He has bet
ter opportunities here for improve
ment than he would have in far-off
Africa. If he wants work he can get it
here. If be has any business capacity he can
turn dollar to advantage oftener than he
could among the barbarians. The negro
knows this. He will not leave a good home
for an unknown land, where he may have
TO suffer great hordships. For this reason
the negro colonization schemes have all been
failures.

Cotton Growing in Peru.

Although some portions of Peru derive
their principal income from cotton
like the valley of Chira, for instance.
the cultivation of the plant there is very
primitive, and no efforts are being made to
increase the output or to improve the
quality of the product, according to the
United States consular agent at Payta.
What the plant fails to get in cultivation,
however, nature supplies, for. after fully
developing it continues producing cotton
for five or six years in succession, If there is
sufficient moisture in the ground, of which
it needs very little on account of its deep
roofing, thus reaching moisture at great
depths. A perennial plant of this sort is a
great saving in expense for labor every
year; and, besides, the soil in Payta is won
derfully rich and lasting, having been under
cultivation by the aborIgines from time i'm
memorial. Still. the cotton is of an inferior
quality. 1t is sold in Europe and Is used in
the manufacture of wooden goods, with
which it mixes readily on account of its
rough, strong and long fibre. Some idea of
the industry may be gathered from the fol-
lowing statement from the report of the
consular agent:
Cotton is collected, when the pods open. by
women and children, who are paid in proportion
TO the quantity collected the prevailing rates
being 40 cents for every quintal 100 pounds
Cotton is taken from the fields to the ginning
houses where it is cleaned and made into bales
of about 175 pounds each. We have five of such
establishments in this province. The quantity
exported annually averages from 65 900 to 20. 900
bales, the gross value of which, at current
prices here is about 81, 1000. 900 in current money
bolivian silver dollars, equal TO 6s cents each)
Despite the advantages of cheaper labor,
low freights and the possession of plant
that bears bolls for number of years, the
Peruvian planters cannot compete with the
cotton planters of this country. quality
being preferred TO the cheap article King
Cotton's realm is in this country, and always
will be.

Sham Morality.

That there is a noticeable absence of that
high moral principle which is claimed as
particular virtue by the Republican party,
in legislation in this congress, espe-
cially in regard to the federal
election bill, is painfully apparent
Where is the morality in a party which
will deliberately attempt to defeat honest
elections, pass laws for partisan purposes
without regard for public good, and do
wrong in the name of law to gain political
advantages There is lamentable absence
of the much talked Of high moral principle
in the course of the republicans with respect
to this election bill. And yet they would
resent as a personal insult a charge that
they were wanting in political morality if
it was made against them individually in
stead of as a party. Is this because per-
sonal responsibility disappears when the
individual acts through the instrumentality
of party' Is it because individual respon-
sibility is so divided that men who do in
justice, and who approve injustice done,
feel no twinges Of conscience.
1t appears so, although each one is as
chargeable with guilt as if each was the
autocrat who alone proposed the enactment
of an unjust law. The republicans have
become blind in politics, and have adopted
the idea that their personal morality can
not be questioned when acting in public af-
fairs. At the command of party they sup
port such iniquitous measures as the cleo
ton bill without the least hesitation.
Aud yet they boast that their party is
the party of great moral ideas" 1t looks
very much as if their boosted political
virtue was a good deal of sham.

The confirmation by the pope of the SEN
tence in the case of the Rev. DR.. Burtsell,
of New York, has created quite stir in
Catholic circles. DIR. Burtsell has been
pastor of church in the metropolis for
twenty-three years, but Archbishop Corri-
gan ordered him to rural pastorate because
he expressed some opinions at variance
with those of the archbishop in regard to
the powers of the church in excluding
from burial in sacred ground persons
who had been members of the
McGlynn anti-poverty society. The
decision establishes an important point
IN canonical laws that in New
York and elsewhere throughout
the country, for a pastor who is not
an 'irremovable rector" according to the
DEGREES Of the Baltimore council, the will of
his bishop is the law of his tenure of office
The judgment of the court of last resort
also shows the great severity with which
discipline is enforced in the great ecclesias-
tlcal army that owes allegiance to the pope,
for 1t was confidently believed that Dr.
Burtsers reputation and his standing in
the esteem of the dignitaries Of the church
would bring him out of his difficulty with
the archbishop triumphantly.
