osities OF this nineteenth century
civilization. And the fact that
newspaper men are not continually
| in a wrangle with somebody or other
is one that ought to establish their
mental and moral superiority over
every other class of martyrs in the
world. The most reliable statistics
show that in every community there
are self-sacri6cing patriots who, as
nearly as cen be ascertained, lie
awake OF nights and neglect their
business in the day time, studying
up things that might be got into the
newspapers with fair prospect of
hurting somebody's feelings, breed
ing disturbance and getting the
editor Licked. And when a person
OF this class gets hold of an idea of
right sort, it intoxicates him. 1t
immediately begins to expanl, and
gets bigger until he is bound to get
rid of it. Then, if a member of the
press gang doesn't happen along
about that time, the man with the
idea hunts him up Usually his
first greeting is, ''By the way |!
Why don't you 60 for so and sol?

THE CROWDED CITIES.


The drift of people from the coun-
try and the smaller towns to the
cities Is one of the dangers of the
time. This movement is growing
more and more pronounced. Every
census shows larger per cent of our
population IN the cities. This is the
explanation OF much OF the idleness.
misery and crime that afiict the
country.
1t is too often the ambition of the
country boy to leave the farm on
which he was reared and seek some
sort of a position in city. This
disposition has been the ruin of
many bright, noble hearted young
man. Of the host of those who
flock to the cities large per cent.
fail to obtain employment and fall
into vicious habits. Some get posi-
tions which Fay them a pittance,
and in the effort to keep the pace Of
city lite, fall into habits which they
are too poor to indulge, and which
would be unfortunate even if they
had sufficient means to indulge them.
The result is debt, distress, and, too,
often, disgrace.
At this season Of the year the rush
to the cities is especially strong. The
crops have been gathered and hun
dreds of country boys come ito
town" to try their fortunes.
Our advice to all such is:
''Stay where you are"
There is not today city in Geor-
gia or in any other state of the Tn
ion which has not more men than
can make living in it. There are
in Atlanta hundreds OF honest, will
ing men who have been out of work
for weeks and months. The num-
Der of the idle is increasing. The
winter is upon us and there will be
much suffering in this and other
cities. The greater the number OF
people who leave the country to try
and find work in the cities, the
greater this trouble will grow. All
most any young man who has a
chance to make livingin the coun-
try would be tool to go to town
now and enter the mad competition
which RACES there.
The Journal earnestly advises the
country boys to think we'll before
they leave the old homestead or any
employment they may have. No
better opportunities tor the develop
ment of true manhood or for becom-
ing truly Independent can be found
than those which the farm affords
That country which holds the bulk
of its population in great human
hives is essentially weak. The cities
are the sources Of the gravest dam
gers which threaten society and gov
eminent. A large, industrious and
virtuous rural population is the
strength and the hope OF the repub>

Republican State Committee OF Massa.
chusetts Adopt a New Method.


chusetts Adopt New Method.
BosToN, June 15.-The Republican state
committee held an important meeting yes
terday and adopted new basis Of repre-
sentation to the state convention, Under
It the next convention will be entitled to
e112 delegates divided among the counties
rs follows: Barnstable, 46; Berkshire, 90;
Bristol, 167; Dukes, IL; Essex, 293; Frank
lin, 6S: Hampden, 1876; Hampshire, 73; Mid
ilesex, Alb; Nantucket, a; Norfolk, 126;
Plymouth, 116; Suffolk, PSI; Worcester, 2S6
The basis of representation in vogue for
many years has been one for each town
and ward of a city, and one for each addi-
tional $50 votes cast for president at the
preceding national election. Towns which
had IA votes cast for the Republican can
didate for president had as large repre-
sentation as those casting 200 votes, for
they had one for their voters, while a
town having 500 votes had only one dele
gate for each l5O votes and fractional part
thereof.
The new plan is to give delegate at
large TO each town and ward of a city,-one
delegate for the first as votes cast for Re-
publican candidate for president, and an
other for each additional $50 votes.

of patriot officers who fought in the army
of the revolution. Each one wore the
golden eagle attached TO the blue and
white ribbon, which is the badge and en-
blem of the Cincinnati, and many gray
heads and boards gave the gathering an
aspect of senatorial dignity and wisdom,
which even eclipsed that of the body just
