The rrihuna,s Discoverv.

The New York Tribune is satisfied It has
discovered the cause Of the defeat of the
Republican party in the recent election.
1t says: "The chief cause of republican
defeat and democratic victory is the modern
tendency toward socialism" This must be
Editor Whitelaw Reids discovery, since no
other paper has limited at anything like it.
good many republicans are inclined to
think that Mr.. Reid, who was the
republican candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, contributed good deal
to the defeat Of his party. because of his I'M
popularity with Workmen. The idea that
he was a burden rather than help to the
republican ticket is not gratifying TO Mr..
Reid, and therefore he must have been
hunting for cause OF the defeat that would
remove the impression that his party SUI
fered on his account
1t Is difficult, however, to see any prao-
tioal reason for thinking Mr.. Reid has dis
covered the cause of the democratic victory.
Does he mean to say that the populists are
socialists and that if there had been no
Peoples party the Republican party would
have been victorious, or does he mean 20
insinuate that a very large portion of those
who voted the democratic ticket are tinged
with socialism! II there had been no Peoples
party the result would not have been differ
ent, because Mr.. Cleveland received q ma
jority of the popular vote, and there is no
reason for saying there are more socialists
in the Democratic party than the Repub-
lican party.
Perhaps what Mr.. Reid means to say Is
that there is a growing feeling in the coun-
try against legislation that robs the great
majority of the people and enables fav-
ored few to accumulate great fortunes. If
that is what he means by "the modern ten
dency toward socialism" then be is right.
The masses are about tired Of being heavily
taxed for the benefit of the protected mon
opolists. But a protest against high pro-
lection tariff can hardly be called ten.

rnsnact of Diract Trade.

TIE movement in bshalf of direct trade
between a South Atlantic port and Europe
is gaining friends all the time. The pros
pect that it will be successful 10 constantly
improving. Englishmen with money and
ships are ready to make direct trade ex-
pertinent just as soon as they can see their
way clearly TO do so, and they are begin
ming to talk very encouragingly.
Col. Crosby, who has been In Atlanta for
two weeks discussing the subject, repre-
sents a number OF English capitalists. He
expects 20 visit Savannah this week or next
with the view of inspecting her advantages
as the terminal of line Of European steam
erB. He will find, doubtless, much more
that will encourage him than at any other
South Atlantic port.
1t is understood that the capitalists he
represents, purpose, if they decide to start
a line of European steamers, to establish a
bank with a 81, 900 900 capital at the port
in this country which they select as the

Mr.. Cleveland and the omces.

! MI Cleveland has found it necessary to
+ leave New Y rk for awhile in order to get
/ ahttle rest. The number of people who
call upon him is 30 great that his whole
tine is occupied with them and their affairs
1 It is not stated that his callers are office
seekers. but the presumption is that most Of
them are. 1t is understood that he will go to
New Berne, N. c., aud he will be fortunate
if the ofice-seekers do not follow him.
Mr.. Cleveland has said enough since the
election to justify the conclusion that he
does not intend to be dominated by office
seekers. He does not consider that the most
important duty that will devolVe upon him
when he becomes President is filing of the
Offices with members of the victorious
party. All of his appointess will undoubt-
eddy be democrats. but he will not be
In such haste to make appoint
nents that he will fail to
discriminate between worthy and capable
men and men who have little or no fitness
for the places they seek. Those who have
been stanch supporters of the party and
aud have been Jealous and active In
its behalf will have TO be given the prefer
ence. provided they have the necessary
qualifications. As general thing, however,
such men remain in the background, wait
ing to be sought, while the undeserviDg are
clsmorous for the spoils Of victory.
Mr.. Cleveland occupies a position that
enables him to do what be thinks is for the
public good He is bound by neither
pledgef nor promises. There are a few
men to whom he undoubtedly feels under
great obligations. They conducted the cam
paign that preceded his nomination, and
were prominent in the campaign that pre-
ceded the election. II these men want
Offices they can have them.
Mr. Cleveland. however, owes neither his
nomination nor his election to any man or
set of men. He was nominated and elected
in spite Of the politicians. He believes that
the people nominated and elected him, and
they did. To the people, therefore. he owes
everything, and to the politicians nothing.
When he is ready to make appointments.
therefore, he will seek for those who are
acceptable to the people and who are capa-
bic of serving them.
Even those who opposed his nomination
at Chicago now privately admit, it lie said,
that Senator Hill could not have been
elected had he been nominated. IL is true
that the great issue W as tariff reform, but
Senator Hill does represent that issue as
Mr.. Cleveland does. Without Mr.. Cleve-
land at the head Of the ticket that issue
would not have been so prominent, and,
hence, not so effective.
Neither Tammany nor any other body Of
democrats, therefore. will dominate Mr..
Cleveland. He has confidence in his own
ability TO do what the people wish. and he
has the courage to follow his own judg-
ment

Homes for Confederate Soldiers.

1t is a lamentable sight to see a battle
SCARED soldier of the confederacy in a poor
house. 1t is we'll calculated to arouse the suS-
picion that there Is more buncombe than heart
felt sympathy in the often heard praise of the
men who fought our battles. If these soldiers
homes did no more good than to save few of
these veterans from the poorhouses we could
well afford TO maintain them. 1t Is disgraceful
that any worthy veteran Of the confederate
army should be forced to live the life Of
pauper. 1t is a fact, too that many veterans
who have homes, se,ealled, are neither welcome
nor comfortable in them. To these, also, the
soldiers homes offer shelter, food and respecta-
Bile companionship. We shall not presume to
offer any advice to the gallant people of the
great state of Georgia, but we can truly say
that the confederate home here has been of
vast service. 1t could be Of greater service

From east to west, from north to south;
Who knows ali things both great and small,
And tells it with mis- tireless mouth;
Who holds listening world in awe,
The while he works his iron jaw.
Outlines in evenings holy calm,
When twilight Softens sight and sound.
And zephyr breaths perfect psalm,
This fellow brings his mouth around
With its long Rallop that can tire
The S-day clocks impatient ire.
His good, strong mouth He Yields IL veIli
He works il just for all it's worth;
Not Samson's jaw bone famed could tell
Such mighty deeds upon the earth,
He pulls the throttle open wide
And works her hard on every side.
Up hill and down, through swamp and sand.
1t never stops, it never balks;
Through air and sky, DER sea and land,
He talks, and talks, and talks, and talks
And talks, and talks, and talks and talks.
And talks. and talks, and talks and talks,

From wreck and flood, from storm and Are.
From sudden death, from secret foe;
From blighting rain and burning drought
And from the man who plays his mouth.
