a Hint to Strikers.

farmer hired man to help work the farm,
says TerGS Siftin0s. One summer day. when
laborers were very scarc-, the two were NOW
ing in the field. when several larks few up
Look at those big cranes" said the hired
man.
Those are not cranes; they are only larks, "
replied the farmer, somewhat surprised.
IF you don't say they are cranes I'll knock
on work right now" said the hired man.
As the farmer could get nobody TO take the
hired mans place, ne was obliged TO yield to the
within of the mental.
Yes" said the farmer Il see that they are
cranes, but they are not big cranes; they are
only half-grown cranes"
The hired man was satisfied with this con-
cesslon, Some months afterward, the hired
man still being in the employ of the farmer,
the latter said at dinner time one day, as he
poured out glass of water:
Here is some very fine beer"
1hats not oeeri that's only water. replied
the hired man.
III you don't say it's beer you can tender
your resignation, for don't want any offensive
partisan about the place Just taste that again,
aud II you think IL is not beer. you can Just quit
at once"
The hired man knew very we'll that he could
not get another situation at that time Of the
year, so he tasted the water aud cheerfuIy in
dorsed the administration, saying:
or course it's beer, but IL has not got much
body to it,"
Moral: Strikers should be careful to select
the proper season at which to strike.

well, that man, like many Others, was con-

Chinaman there paid about $50 to poor, ig-
porant brother to take his place; so he really
died by proxy: The poor substitute had lived
in hunger all his life. With $50 he literally

died for it. This often occurs in China

over the wire:

The Millen Case.

Lawyer Preston is reported In the Macon
Telegraph as saying that he would soon
have the Millen e1ectment c,se sent back to
Savannah by the supreme court for new
trial. 1t may be that there will be no oc-
casion for sending it back. The supreme
courts decision may leave nothing for
jury to do.
Whether the law is on the side Of the
Millen heirs or not, cases like that of the
Millen case are not regarded with favor by
the public. The courts ought TO have the
power to settle such cases on an equitable
basis. If the Millen heirs should win their
case they would have the power to deprive
a large number of people Of their homes
homes that we're paid for in many instances
with hard-sarned money. The law ought
to be so amended that cases like the Millen
case could not occur.

Quite Possible.

A physician had as presiding genius in his
culinary department q negro woman of social
disposition but of somewhat irascble temper,
says the Youths Companion. One night a
youthful admirer, who was accustomed 10 ma ke
frequent evening calls upon the ebony Maria In
her kitchen, prolonged his visit to tresome
length. After Maria had worn out every topic
of conversation OF which she was mistress she
essayed to give him delicate hint as to her
mental and physical WEAKNESS by prodigious
yawn. Through some miscalculation as TO the
stretching capacity OF her mouth, however she
disocated her jaw in the process. The doctor
was hastily summoned from above stairs by the
distracted young man. who stood difffdenty in
the background while Aaria's Jaw was put into
working order again. The first use she made of
her recovered power Of speech was to turn
wrathfully upon the trembling visitor and say,
in tone of whitening scorn: 'P'raps de mex
time yo' goes a-cailin'. stays till de lady gapes
an suffocates her jaws, yoll TAX it fer hint
dat it's bout time to be a:gwine home!"

Our Military ORGANIZATIONS.

Some Of our rural statesmen are inclined
to think that the money appropriated by
the legislature for the militia is money
wasted. Many OF them object to taking
any part OF the peoples money for military
organizations. These statesmen do not
look ahead. From their point OF view the
state will never have any reason to call on
the state troops for help.
Those OF them who are candidates for the
legislature should mott oe particularly the
labor troubles that have occurred in several
states within the last month or two IL it
had not been for the presence of state troops
at Homestead there would have been, IN all
probability, very great loss of property
and very considerable loss o. life At
Buffalo the presence of the
state troops checked what promised
TO be a very disastrous
strike, and in Tennessee the free miners
would have overridden the law and humil-
lated the state, besides costing the state
many thousands Of dollars for damage to
property, if the state troops had not been
sent to the scene OF the trouble quickly.
In this state spprehensions were felt on
Wednesday by the state authorities that
an attempt would be made to liberate the
oonvicts in the Dade county coal mines.
The services Of state troops may not be
needed by the state often, but when they
are needed the demand for them is impera-
tive. A condition of affairs Is likely to arise
at any time in which the civil authorities
would not be able to restore order or pre-
vent the destruction of property worth
more than the amount likely to be sp-
propriated by the state in half
dozen years for military purposes. 1t
has not been very long since the military
rendered great service In this city. A
strike that might have eliminated in a riot
was settled peaceably. 1t is impossible to
say how the strike would have terminated
If all tendency toward lawlessness had not
been checked by the troops.
The legislature would make great mis-
take If it should omit in it's budget an APP
preparation for the militia. The need in
every state for good militia force is steadily
becoming more apparent

A Kick Against Insurance. Rates.

| The wholesale grocery merchants are pro-
| testing against the increase in the insurance
rates that has been ordered by the tariff as
ISOLATION which has a monopoly OF the In
| suran, business Of this state. They
| think the rates are now as high as they
should be- The rates are certainly as high
as the condition of business justihes. No
kind of business is particularly prosperous
now, because Of the low price Of cotton, and
| there is no good reason why the insurance
| business should fare better than other kinds
OF business 1t may be that the insurance
business in this city has not been profitable
during the last year or two, but has any
other business been pro6tablel
II we are not mistaken the tariff asso-
citation has been contemplating for some
time the putting up Of rates. The only
thing perhaps it was afraid of was that
public sentiment against the measure would
be 80 great that the legislature would re-
peal the law requiring deposit of $4,000
from each company doing business in the
state.
1t is extremely probable that a
strong effort will be made to
get the legislature TO repeal That
law The law ought to be repealed so there
could be fair and square competition in the
insurance business. Some wild cat COM
panies might seek business here, but no level
headed business man would be caught by
any one of them. 1t is an easy matter to
fluid out the financial condition of any in
surance company and, besides, reputable
insurance agents would not represent
swindling companies.
The $25, 200 deposit law must be repealed.
Let the business men see to it that the can
didates for the legislature favor its repeal
II the matter is placed before the legislature
in its proper light there will be no difficulty
in getting the law repealed. The men who
will control the next legislature will hardly
uphold what threatens to foster a burden
some MONOPOLY.

Where DID the Money Cor

Now that parties interested IN Richmond
Terminal are making charges and counter
charges, based upon the belief that there
was crooked work of some sort in the man
agement Of its affairs. a very general desire
| is cropping out here to know whether the
large floating debt aud other obligations Of
the Georgia Central were legitimately accu-
mulated.
A few days ago the Macon Telegraph pub
llshed special from New York, in which
it was stated that in 1888 Gen. Alexander,
as president of the Central, gave certifi>
cate TO the effect that the Central was pay
ing all its hxed charges, interest on its float
ing debt. providing for its sinking fund and
earning IA per cent. on its
stock. What those who are interested in
CentraPs securities now want to know
is, how IL was that railroad
with such splendid earning power became
bankrupt in less than four years from the
time that certificate was given.
Receiver Conner is having the financial
affairs OF the Central inquired into thor
| oughly by an expert with the view of re-
organizing the property. He ought also to
have statement prepared showing what be-
came of the Central's earnings from the time
the Raoul management was ousted to the
time of the appointment Of a receiver, and
also the money that is represented by new
obligations and the floating debt
If the money was properly spent and the
debt was accumulated legitimately the
facts ought to be made public in justice tc
those who were responsible for the roads
management, and II the Wall street in.
Auences which controlled the road diverted
its property from its legitimate uses thai
fact ought to be known. What is wanted
is history Of the roads financial affair,
for the last five or six years. 1t would bt
an interesting history to many people.

A Chip Off the Old Block,

Little frankie ives one day found to have q
suspicious rent in the rear of his trousers and
was closely lnterrogated by bis mother as 10 the
cause of the accident. says the st. Louis Replt6
tic, frankie, however, was equal to the emer
gency and very piously reported:
II ripped EN- slidin' down the church steps. y
His father at this juncture CHANGED to notice
a wary movement on the part OF little FranRie's
older brother. who was engaged In trying to
make his escape without any more attention
than was absolutely necessary. He called UT
the boy and discovered that his little trousers
were torn in q similar manner.
"Well," said the father severely, II suppose
you tore your pants chasing rainoows just as
Frankie did.
Yes papa, did, responded the little fell
low cheerfuliy and promptly, II tored EN- OF

The Cholera Dangerously Near.

There is only one thing to do to keep
cholera out of this country and that is to
cut off all communication with cholera
infected ports and shut out immigrants
from countries where cholera prevails. 1t
may be said that the adoption OF 80 vigor-
Gus policy would work great hardship to
thousands Of immigrants who are now on
their way to this country or who are pre-
pairing to come here. The danger is 80
imminent, however, and an epidemic of
cholera would be such a great calamity,
that it is our duty to look out for the wei
fare of the tens of millions of our
own people rather than the interests
of few thousands Of Immigrants
And there is another thing the authorities
of this country ought to do at once. They
ought to notify Americans who are travel
ing in Europe that it would be advisable
for them TO return at once for the reason
that If cholera becomes epidemic in all the
ports Of Europe they may not have a chance
to return at all during the prevalence of
the disease.
The health authorities think they can
keep the disease out Of this country. Doubt
less they are as we'll prepared for doing SO
as 1t is possible for them TO be, but if
1t appears on an incoming steamer
loaded with immigrants and tourists it will
be a very difficult matter to prevent
it from getting foothold in
New York and Speeding over the country.
Extraordinary efforts have been made to
keep it outof European cities, but gradually
it is making its appearance in one after
another of them. Hundreds are now at
tackled by it every day in the seaports of
Hamburg and Havre, aud it is thought TO
have gained Judgment In Paris and
Berlin.
While there is no occasion yet for being
greatly alarmed In this country there are
| the best Of reasons for taking every possible
\ precaution for preventing its introduction
| here. 1t may he possible to keep it out by
enforcing quarantine regulations strictly.
but nothing would be lost, and probably
much gained, by shutting our ports to i'm
migrants from cholera infected countries.

Charging Fraud for a Purpose.

The Montgomery advertiser publishe
in Alabama which Indicate that there are
more reasons why the Kolb faction should
explain the vote which its ticket received in
the counties which gave the Kolb ticket
majorities than there is why Gov. Jones
should take notice of the charges of fraud
which the kolbites make against the regular
democracy. The Advertiser says the bowls
of the Kolbites about fraud are sinister and
are kept up for purpose.
The advertiser names half a dozen or
more counties, il each OF which it is as
serted the Kolb ticket received more votes
than there are voters In the county. No
doubt the regular democratic organization
will collect sufficient evidence to substanti-
ate this assertion. Such evidence would
put an end to the talk INDUCED in by the
Kolbites to the effect that the Kolb ticket
was counted out If what the Advertiser
says is correct, it is more than probable that
the Kolbites planned to count in" their
ticket, and are so angry because
of their failure to do SO
that they are endeavoring to hide their
work by trying to make it appear that
crooked work was done for the regular
democratic ticket.
The state election in Alabama may be
considered settled. Mr.. Kolb's talk about
making a contest amounts TO nothing. NJ
contest is likely to change In any respect
the result that has been announced. Kolb.
ism in Alabama is virtually dead, and Mr..
Kolb will very soon drop out of sight

The continuance of the lease of the Ten
nessee convicts TO the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company means either renewal of
the trouble with the free miners or the
keeping Of strong force of troops at all the
mines worked by convicts for some time,
probably a long time. But whether or not
there would be more trouble with the free
miners. and whether the state should incur
additional military expense, were not the
questions before the authorities The issue
was whether or not the state should fulfill
its contract authorized by law, with an in
dividual corporation, or whether its au~
thority should be permitted to be
dehed and its laws nulliAed because
they did not meet the favor Of
certain men. Gov. Buchanan was 10 favor
of pandering TO the law-defying element by
declaring the lease of convicts void hoping
thereby to gain votes for himself in his in
dependent candidacy for governor. But the
action Of the board Of prison inspectors puts
"a check on any such trading upon the states
honor. So long as the law providing for
the lease of convicts remains upon the
statute books, and contracts for the labor Of
convicts are made under it by the state and
the lessees comply with legal requirements,
Just so long must the state defend the rights
of the lessees and discharge its portion Of
the agreement TO the letter.
