PRINCIPAL $40, INTEREST 1855.

"There are hundreds of accounts
of this kind on the books of the
banks, | know this, because not long
ago knew of an investigation be-
ing made. A client went to his
lawyer and said he had reason to
believe that his father, who had
been dead several years, had left
money in the Bleecker Street Saw
ings Bank. The lawyer made an
investigation, and found that his
clients father had an account there.
1t was opened away back in 1880.
-Four years afterward he evidently
intended to close it, for he drew out
all the money deposited except SO.
This $40 had been there since 1884,
and had never been touched. The
claimant proved his identity, and
the bank paid over the money. How
much do you suppose it was? Three
hundred and sixty six dollars. The
1856 was the interest which had &C.
cumulated since 1834."-New York

and, what is of prime Importance,
secured control of the legislature.
which is to elect a successor in the
United States Senate to Leland
Stanford, republican. They have
also, it is said, carried all of the six

the comfort they'll get out of this
campaign, and they had better make
the most of it.

NO MORE CARPET.BAGGERS.

There is nothing more impudent
in politics, than for Macune, of
Washington City and Illinois, and
Polk, fNorth Carolina, and Turner
of Washington, to come into the
state of iGeorgia, and attempt to
dictate who the Democrats of this
state shall elect Senator. Such
carpetbaggers and political tramps
should be given to understand that
the people of Georgia have intelli-
gence and integrity enough to
choose a Senator without outside
interference, intermeddling or lob
bying. For such crowd to be the
means of defeating General Gordon
would he shame upon our state.
We are glad to see that the Alliance
members Of the Legislature in their
caucus kicked against such interfer-
ence from these interlopers.
The members of the legislature
are competent to transact their bus
mess without advisers interfering
who are not citizens of Georgia, II
the members are not competent,
then the people made a mistake in
sending them there.

GOVERNOR NORTHERN.


There is nothing strained or bombas-
tic about it, but throughout it shows
a common sense and honesty of pur-
pose that is commendable He be-
lieves the state is burdened with too
much law. Local legislation has
grown to he intolerable, and as a
remedy he insists on general and
uniform laws. In chartering cor
pora tons, he thinks one bank should
not be granted rights and powers
and privileges not allowed to anoth-
er bank ; the same with railroads.
uniformity and no special ard dis
eliminating privileges, and that char
tiers should be obtained through
some less expensive machinery than
the general assembly. He urges
fixed salaries for state officers.
Wants the enactment oc wise and
just laws for the protection OF prop
erty. Says he will not take part in
any indiscriminate war against cor.
porations in this state. Corpora
tions are but the union of forces to
develop the wealth OF the state.
They are made up OF individual
citizens, who do not sacrifice auy
hight to protection under a combina-
ton of capital. The same rights
and protection guaranteed to an in
dividual citizen should be guaran-
teed to several citizens when they
become properly associated together
under corporate power. Nothing
more, nothing less. He further
says that the greatest danger threat
ening our government both state
and national, is the power of aggre
gated money. 1t buys the ballot
and makes the law; it purchases the
citizen and makes a slave; it bar
gains with class and Expresses the
people ; it purchases power and CEN
tralizes the government. Uncheck-
ed, it will override the freedom of
our institutions and build upon the
ruins of the republic the absolute
power of a merciless plutocracy, He
inveighs against monopoly, and in
sists ON the speedy and enforcement
Of the penalties for the violation OF
law. The purity of the ballot is the
safeguard of our liberties, and every
ballot should express the unqualified
choice of a freeman. He regards
the education of the people as the
most important matter involved in
our state policy. Illiteracy is, in
no sense, an element of security.
To educate its children is the fixed
policy of the state. and the general
assembly should improve the system,
either by general or local taxation.
Taxation by the state is but an APP
preparation for the security of socie-
ty, protection to property, and the
advancement of the people. These
ends, the general assembly cannot
better secure than by the education
of the masses. Our social, political
and material conditions all call for
the more general education OF the
people. -Four months for instruc-
ton and eight months for idleness
will not fit a citizen for the duties
that await him. We must have
better teachers for the schools,
longer terms for instruction and
better pay for the service. The
teachers should be promptly paid
like other public servants.
The Governor expresses his IDEAS
clearly, and from their tenor, he
will prove an upright, pure, safe
and wise Governor. The state IS
indeed fortunate in securing such an
Executive.

DUDES AT THE GRAND.
How They Stand About the Thea
ter and Pose and Spit.

II you want to see the "chappies, :"
just stand outside the entrance to the
Grand opera house any night of the en-
gagement of some big company. As the
Grand is the place of amusement for the
clty's fashionable people, these penny
dudes, who probably work in the day
time for about So week. line up along
the curb near the Grand to show other
fashionable people that they are simply
Irresistible themselves in their style of
dress, and the hundreds of bellies and
pretty young misses who go to the
them, and after marriage they can
take their ease without work by
living on their wife'S money.
There was one lynn phatic young fellow
with dark, unhealthy-looking face.
who remained for some time staring
bIankly into the Grand lobby. He wore
light Oyercoat and had baggy "pantS'
and smoked cigar. At first he stood
on the curb exactly in front OF the
street crossing, so that two men who
started to cross the street ran into him.
The fellow spurted out long clouds of
cigar smoke like rapid-fring cannon.
He spat out gracefully into the air. and
the discharge landed in the middle of
IllS SldOn aim liz ON6I
against the lamp post. and then dis
charged his spittle into the crossing.
This young fellow resembled much
Hotchkiss revolving cannon, for he
finally slowed one-quarter way around
and discharged into the street.
There was one group of five Saturday
night, none of whom went inside the
theater, who fingered persistently at
the right of the entrance. Three were
smoking cigarettes and all were steadily
hawking and splitting. The little fellow
with the yellow overgaiters and the
chap with the silk hat and light fancy
vest went away first. Two others of the
group held on for a while longer. One
fellow seemed stuck on his shape, for he
was continually feeling of himself all
over and scratching himself in the arm
pits and twisting his moustache. The
other chap had hairy neck and he was
star splitter. At times this group
made the air blue around them with the
cloud of mingled cigar and cigarette
smoke. The complexion of the crowd
OF lOaferS was continually changing.
New faces would appear; their owners
would get in peoples way for longer or
shorter periods of time, and finally go
on their way. Very rarely did any of
these go inside the theater. After most
of the men had disappeared, the half
baked bays with their cigarettes still
held the fort until fired by Jackson, the
cOlOred porter.
