SUMNER RECREATION.

1t Is getting to be more and more OF o
custom for Americans to take vacations
and "go somewhere" in the summer.
Viewed from one standpoint the spec
tacle of hundreds of thousands of men,
women and children, with grip-sack in
hand, flying madly over the country in
seorch of variety. is somewhat appall-
ing. but nevertheless the fashion is a
good one and should be encouraged.
Our grandparents, it is true, did not go
fitting about, but stayed at home
through all seasons unless forced away
by stress of business; nevertheless, this
is no argument in favor of their de-
scendants doing likewise. The grand
parents would have gone readily
enough, no doubt, had the same
facilities been afforded in the way
of many railroads and excursion
rates. In the absence of these they
stayed at home and vegetated. To be
sure, they seemed to flourish under the
stay-at-h homo system. and not to suffer
from lack of summer tours, but it must
be remembered that the stress and
pressure of life were less in their day,
and change of scene was less essential.
Now, for large class Of persons change
of surroundings is almost a necessity for
the preservation of health and vig0r,
both mental and physical. Not all of
these need rest in the sense of complete
repOse of mind and body. Some among
the Overworked do require a vacation
spent in way that calls for the least
possible exertion-nothing to tax the
weary limbs or to hold the mind to any
but nebulous fancies. Only thus
can recuperation come, and it is
these who turn with distaste from
the overcrowded resorts" But
to others these resorts offer what
is needed in that change of Occu-
patton is often rest. Many men, as we'll
as women, lead monOtonOus lives so far
as the social element Is concerned, and
the amusements and Rayeties of the
summer crowds supply the want. They
may return to their homes tired and
worn in one sense, but in another
aroused and supplied with new energies
and interests. The young people like
the gay crowds because the effervescence
is IN harmony with their youth. Per-
haps thesstyoung folks need the outings
less than their elders, because life has
not grown monotonous to them in any
directions hut the annualf change will
benefit them oftener than not. The
summer hegira is likely to increase

ALITTLE work entitled" Leading Facts
of American History" is severely criti-
cised by writer in the Atlanta Consti-
sutton because, as he says, "With an eff
irontery that strains him, the author
lifts Abraham Lincoln to the stars and
says nothing by way Of compliment to
the Southern statesmen, his cohtempO-
raries, who were greatly his superiOrs."

On Tuesday last the receipt of GUS
toms at the port of New York amounted
to S9OO,OO0. The record of monthly re-
ceipts illustrates the working of the Nc
Kinley law. When the law went into
effect the receipts fell from sixteen
down to ten millions. In January, 1891.
they pulled up again on account of the
entry of the sugar crop. In April, 1891.
the putting of sugar on the free list
dropped the figures to seven millions.
They continued below the average until
recently by reason of the fact that SO
many importers had loaded up a stock
before the law went into effect. Now
the country is getting down to the nat
ural workings of the new tariff, and the
exceptionally large receipts are an indi-
cation of the beneficial effects of the
Mckinley policy.

REPRESENTATIVE WATSON, whose at
tack on the drunken Congress" created
such sensation, has had great recep-
ton from his constituents. Since his
return home he has burned his bridges
behind him and come out fiat footed
against the Democratic party, and the
reception given him by his constituents
seems to indicate that they are with
him. Although his district is a sparsely
settled one, tho people turned out by
thousands to meet him, many driving a
long distance. On leaving the train he
was picked up and carried on the shout
ders of his admirers to q carriage, from
which the horses were quickly olsen
gagged and which was then drawn by
the people through the principal streets
of the town. His speech was . bitter
attack on the Democratic party, and
the crowd cheered him tumultuously.
1t begins to look as if the Democrats
might have as much trouble to hold
Georgia as they had to carry Alabama.
