than any other.

The Naval Officers Title.

The title of naval officer as ap-
piled to one of the officials of the
custom house has always been an
enigma to most people, and very few
have any idea of how it was created.
The Office dates back to the colonial
days, when Charles II. was king of
England and his brother, afterward
James H., was duke of York. James
received a percentage on all customs
receipts in America, and was also lord
high admiral of the English navy. He
bad very little confidence in the men
whom his brothers selected as collec-
tors OF customs in this country, and in
order to protect his own interests he
insisted on appointing man whose
duty it would be to approve every per-
NIT issued by the collector before it
would be valid. AS lord high admiral
he naturally selected these men from
his own officers and placed a naval
officer in every custom house in the
British provinces in America. Both
the Office and the duties remain prac-
tically unchanged to this day, and the
naval officer" who is merely an
auditor, must still countersign all per-
mits. -Philadelphia Record.

RAILROAD JOTTlNGS.

THE government of Japan owns and

NEGROES IN LONDON.

No Prejudices Against Black Skins In tn @
British Capital.
In London q negro can go into the
finest restaurants and be served Just like
a white man, says letter in the Rich
mond (Va.) Dispatch. He can sit at
any public table, if he is quiet and can
pay the bill White walters serve him
without a murmur, and the American
darby imagines he is sitting sideways
on a cloud, picking harp with one
hand and eating honey with the other,
when he is turned loose in the English
metropolis with fifty dollars in his
pockets.
Entering a restaurant on the Strand
in London while there recently, was
surprised to observe at the table two
coal-black negroes and two white wom-
en-. My first impulse was TO instantly
depart, for such sight in the United
States would surely not have been pos
sible, but as no one knew me in the
place | finally concluded to watch the
proceeding. The women appeared to
be in high glee, especially as glass after
glass of beer was emptied by all four of
the persons at the table. The negroes
were undoubtedly from the United
States, as they frequently alluded to
things and events in Baltimore and
Washington. The women were highly
amused at the conversation of their
dusKy companions, and une darkles, to
save their manners and to prevent the
loud laughter so characteristic of their
race, were continually stufing the nap
kin in their mouths. 1t was Sight not
soon to be forgotten by an American
and every moment it looked as if the
white women would embrace the ne
groes, so close did they get to each
other. Of course the women were of
the COMMON class, bu. they were quite
good looking and well dressed.

The ClerrYman and the Lockey.

A clergyman, who is in the habit of
preaching in different parts of the
country, was, not long since, at
country hotel, where he observed a
!,orse jockey trying to take in simple
gentleman, by imposing upon him a
brollen-winded horse for sound one.
The parson knew the bad character of
the jockey, and taking the gentleman
aside, told him to be cautious of the
person he was dealing with. The gen.
tleman declined the purchase, and the
jockey, quite nettled observed:
''Parson, had much rather hear you
preach than to see you privately in
terfere in bargains between man and
man in this way"
well" replied the parson, 'f you
had been where you ought to have
been last Sunday, you might have
heard me preach"
where was that?" inquired the
jockey.
'In the state prison." returned the
Y. Ledger.

ACCORDING to La Nature, many of the

SOME THING To THINK ABOUT.

Some people, and especially the farm
ers, of the south and west are right in
demanding financial reform. They are
right on the silver questi on, and the sit
uation justifeS their demand for an ex-
pansion of the currency, but they should
go still deeper into the subject, says the
Atlanta Constitution.
Cash is scarce in the south and west
because they buy more from the east
than they sell to that section. When we
produce anything that the outside world
wants we can get the money for it, but
what good is that going to do us if we
buy what we eat and wear, and nearly
everything else, from the east?
Our farmers have to stand the drain
of federal taxation which takes one dol
lar out of every three in circulation.
Each other state spends several million
dollars annually for federal pensions.
The tariff takes our money to the pro
tected manufacturers of the east. Trade
takes our money to the eastern mer-
chants. The money we borrow comes
from the east, and that section pockets
the high interests levied upon us.
Under these conditions, free silver. an
expanded currency and state banks
would afford only temporary relief.
What then, is the remedy? Two years
ago. when the infamous force Hill wac
about to become law, the Constitution
declared that in the event of it's passage
the southern people would withdraw
their trade frsm the north, and their pa
triotism would induce them to use home
products and home manufactures with
the exception of such goods as they pur-

SETTER PUBLIC ROADS.

1t seems to us that it would be well
for our people to pause amid the strife
of partisan politics and give some con-
sideration to subjects of grave import
in which all are equally interested,
and on which all agree, one of the
most important of which is the i'm
provement of the public roads of the
State.
Few states there be, if any, in this
union disgraced by poorer roads than
Georgia, the Empire State of the South,
and yet none possess more bounteously
the natural resources with which to
build turn pixies that would be bless
ing to her people and an enduring
monument to the statesman who
shapes the legislation that would re-
suit in their building. In Kentucky,
where stone raising occupies much of
the attention of the people, the state is
a net work of roads that rival the
streets of our cities, which makes in
tercourse by private conveyance be-
tween the different sections easy and
pleasant.
During the visit of Governor Northen
and delegation of Georgia farmers to
Ohio few years ago, nothing they saw
in that great state so impressed them as
the magnificent roads they rolled over
wherever they penetrated the country.
A trip to market, which in Georgia
would mean days labOrous journey,
was there but question of few pleas
ant hours.
Too much time have we given to ques-
tions of abstruse political economy,
to the neglect of the practical, pressing
needs of our very home life. Georgia
has all the necessary machinery which,
if put in operation, would accomplish
the result in few years and without
imposing onerous burdens of taxation on
her people. The convicts of the state,
under the direction of illed engineers,
could do the work, and Georgia's match
less granite furnish the material. We
do not mean by this suggestion to inter-
fere with the rights of the present les
sees, but the movement might be inaug-
urated with such short time men or
others not included in this contract, and
by the time the present contract expired
we would be prepared to put the entire
force on the roads and be better prepar-
ed, too, to work them intelligently. The
start might be made ON the principal
highways between the cities of the
state making as near as possible air line
roads taking in the smaller towns en-
route.
These suggestions. crudely expressed,
are only intended to draw the attention
of the people to the matter that they
may discuss it, and in the selection of
members of the next Legislature see that
this issue is given the importance it mer-
its. The press of the State can do no
better work than to agitate the subject
for the next few weeks, and we trust
they will do it.
