An Expression of Confidence.

Geo p Rowell & Co., of New York,
the publishers of the American News
paper Directory, undertake to rate
newspaper circulatiOns very much as
the mercantile agencies report the
capital and credit of the business
community. About one publisher in
ten tells his exact issue with truthful
precision. Some of the other nine
decline to tell the fact because they
assert that those who do tell are in
the habit of lying. Rowell & Co,
after an experience of more than
twenty years, have come to the con-
clusion that this view cannot be sus-
tanned. In the twenty-second an
nual issue of their book, now in the
binders hands, they designate every
paper that is rated in accordance
with detailed statement from the
publisher; and offer to pay a hun
dred dollars for every instance which
can be pointed out of a misstatement
for which publisher is responsible.
The Caledonian is one of the papers
that Is willing to have it known how
many 1T prints and whose good faith
the Directory publishers will guaran-
tee.

Her First Caller.

Some years ago Amelia Simpson, says
the Detroit Free Press, maiden
lady of mature years. moved into New Eng
land village to take possession of a small prop
erty that had been left her by a deceased uncle.
Hiss Simpson was city spinster and 1t hap
pened that while moving into her new home she
made some deri i've remarks about the village,
which remarks reached the ears of the villagers
IL was before the days of boycotting, but the
spirit of that method existed, and so unanimous
were the feelings excited against the newcomer
that not soul in the village called upon her.
The lady herself wa unconscious that she
had offended, and made several q lvanceS in the
direction of forming an acquaintance with her
neighbOrS, but was met with cool non-recogni-
ton every time
Then she withdrew herself from any COM
munication with the people, bought all supplies
at the nelghboriDg town and lived alone with
female servant for score of years. At the end
of that time she was taken very i'll A doctor
was summoned from distance by her faithful
attenda1 t, and he soon knew that all remedies
were useless, and it only remained for him to
tell poor Miss Simpson that her earthly pill
grimage was nearly over. This he did in his
own way. He was a doctor of the old school,
and he approached the subject courteously.
Madam he said, in a grave, deliberate
voice, Il have done all that possibly can do in
your case to insure return of health, but with

Lend it a Helping Hand.

The Macon and Atlantic railroad has
asked the city council for rights of
way in the city. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that what it has asked for the city can
grant 1t is certain that the city will deal
with it in a very liberal spirit.
OF course the railroad understands that
the council has to consult public sentiment
in matters of this kind, but it has nothing
to fear from public sentiment if it asks only
for what is reasonable. The council can be
depended upon to do as much for the Macon
and Atlantic as it did for the South Bound,
provided it can.
Savannah wants all the railroads she can
get-the more the better. She is now
moving steadily ahead in the path of pros
perity. Her growth is solid aad perma-
nent. If her present promise of prosperity
is fulfilled. she will have wonderful
increase in wealth and population within
the next five years

She pumped right down in his lap.

And the chair was built for only one.
Two shrieks and groan rent the air.

1t was wood and the seat was too high.
He wooed and his love was nigh.
But he felt himself sick unto death,

Work of the Republican League

The National republican league, whose
headquarters are at POP Fifth avenue, New
York, is busily at work organizing sub
leagues in the south as well as IN the north.
In the New York Tribune the otter day it
was stated that quite a number of sub
leagues had been organized in Florida, and
that the republicans in that state were very
enthusiastic and were busily engaged in
organizing other sub-leagues.
1t is announced that the executive COM
mittee of the national league will hold its
semi-anrual meeting in Saratoga some time
during the month of August. For the
benefit of this committee. information re-
speeding the number and strength of the
sub-leagues in each state is being collected.
The other day. in Washington, ex.Gov.
Warmoth, of Louisiana, is reported to have
said that if the force bill became a law he
would undertake to carry four congressional
districts in Louisiana for the republicans
He knows the power which returning boards
have, and the methods employed by them
to defeat the will of the majority. He and
other republican leaders intend, doubtless,
to have the force bill returning boards, if the
force bill should become law, and
the sub-leagues work together. The
sub-leagues will tie used as instruments
to drum up the black voters and induce
them by threats and promises to vote the
republican ticket That will be done to
make a showing of republican strength. If
the republicans do not have a majority in
congressional districts which they think
+hnxy 20 he 49, l.
in all probability, will throw out enough
democratic votes for one technical reason
or another to give the district to the repub-
licans. This, doubtless. is the republican
programme, and democrats should see to it
that it is not carried out successfully.
But how can the democrats protect them
selves in a campaign Of this kind? There
is only one way to do it, and that is by
organizing white democratic sub-leagues
whom the greatest confidence is placed.
These democratic sub-leagues would be
useful in many ways, but principally in
getting white voters to the polls. If the
democrats take as much interest in
bringing about a democratic success as
they ought to there is not much, if any,
danger that the republicans will get any
more congressman from the south than they
have at present, even though the force bill
should become a Law. The republicans in
the south are showing greater amount OF
activity in political matters now than they
have heretofore. Their activity necessi-
tates additional activity on the part of the
democrats. Democratic Indifference may
cost the Democratic party more than it can
afford to lose,

Col. Lester and the First pistrict.


Representative Lester was surprised a
few days ago, while attending to his duties
in Washington, to learn that there was
some opposition to his denomination. He
could hardly believe that such was the
case. He bad received no hint that his
constituents in any part Of his district
were dissatisfied with his work in congress,
or with the stand he had taken upon i'm
portant public questions. On tie contrary,
he had every reason TO believe that they
fully approved all that be had done and
were gratlfied that he had been so snccess-
full in securing legislation upon local mat
ters. And he has be en- remarkably successful.
None Of his predecessors did more for the
First district than he has, If as much. In
deed, be has made an extraordinary record
during the short time he has been in con
gress-a record that fully just.fies the opin-
ion that his usefulness would increase with
every year of service and that it would be
wise to return him as often as he would con
sent to be reelected.
Having done so well, and having given
entire satisfaction, it is strange that there
should be opposition to his denomination.
Under the circumstances the conclusion is
irresistible that there is masked move
ment to defeat him-a movement that is not
based upon hostility to him, or want of
confidence in his ability to represent the
district or a doubt Of lis faithful
ness in the discharge of his
duties. If the alliance is opposed to
him it has not treated him frankly and
fairly, because it has not asked him whether
or not he approves its platform. He has
been left under the impression that not
voice would be raised against his renomi-
nation.
1t should be borne in mind that Col.
Lester did not ask for the nomination two
years ago. He was not candidate. He
gave up his law business at the request of
the people Of the district. 1t would.
therefore, be a conspicuous act of in
justice, in view of the service he has
rendered and the record he has made, to re-
fuse him a second term, particularly as it
has been the custom in the district TO accord
to its representative a second term. When
the people of the district think the matter
over carefully it can hardly be probable
that they will be influenced into doing some
thing they will regret and which will not
be for their benefit.

Apropos of Mr.. Blaines advocacy of
reciprocal policy with the South American
states for the purpose of increasing our
commerce with those countries, comes the
report of United States Consul General
Severance, at Honolulu, showing that the
extension of the reciprocity treaty between
this country and Hawaii has resulted in
renewed activity in the various depart
ments of business there. The stimulating
influence has been noticeable in an increase
in agricultural products and generally inn
proved commercial relations with the
United States, making the past year one of
marked prosperity. This furnishes one of
the best arguments in favor of MIR. Blaine's
plan. But his party so abhors the idea of
buying and selling abroad that it would
surround the country with a Chinese wall
Of custom houses. Yet. curiously enough,
that prejudice is relinquished in the case of
Hawaii. Why's Because some of the tariff
barons have large interests on the islands.
They must find market for their Hawaiian
goods here, and they naturally want to be
protected-against the tarif-in this in
tance. So, under the guise Of reciprocity
ney enjoy the bcnefits Of free trade. Gu
aous protectionlsts, these.

An extraordinary wager has just been
won by Marcus Meyer, the theatrical man
ager, who bet $1,000 and dinner that he
would leave San Francisco on July and be
in Paris by noon on July "a. He reached
London considerably ahead of time, and the
other party, knowing that Meyer could
easily reach Paris within the time, admitted
that he bad lost. Mr.. Meyer covered $3.50
miles in sixteen days, four hours and twenty
minutes, but of that time he lost four days
and nine hours by being delayed en- route

George Francis Train in less time, so that
