Il Is not uncommon to hear women
ridiculcd for manifest fondness for
quoting Emerson; this habit may come
from the fact that women as a ser are
more given to sentiment than are men.
Emerson was a writer of sentiment, and
many of his suggestions Go the everyday
man seem TO be impractical Yet no one
can charge these with being wanting
in the true spirit. In one of his essays
he alludcs to holiday gifts as "harhar-
ISM because they are usually things
apart from ourselves. He would have
the poet give his poems, the painter bis
pictures. the sea-farer the treasures he
has gathered from the ocean. and every
gift TO have a personal relation TO the
giver. This Is carrying out the Idea EN-
bodied IN the great gift which came to
man md is beautiful idea OF gift-mak-
ing. which, whenever thus exercised
tends 10 soften the harsh angles and ex-
crt a sweet influence wherever II is eN-
ertei. Christmas giving ought 20 teach
further the beautiful lesson Of selt-ahne-
cation, which in the exercise, as Melville
says, has brought ont all that "a noble
all that is good, all that Is useful, nearly
al that is reverential in the world.

The disposition to practice economy Il
very strong in such times as we have
been passing through, This Is com
mmdable provided the enforced ccono-
mics do not deprive honest labor Of the
means by which the laborer must live
II IL hard to know whore TO begin, but
the sewing woman must live. aud q is
suggested that it were the wiser economy
TO abstain from table Injuries that are
imported rather than to deprive thc
working classes Of their wOnted employ
tnent. Every idler becomes an element
Of dnnrer. and Il Is small wonder that
women become furios or worse when
they see their children wanting the neces-
snries Of life OF course every house
keeper must work out the problem Of
household economy for herself, but in do
INK the same she ought 70 remember that
workers. particularly those OF her own
sex, ought to be helped to get work.

General Evans.

From the Columbus Herald.
Gen. Clement A. Evans is a man after
my own heart. He is Christian states
man and gentleman, and his candidacy
for the governorship is not the result OF
personal ambition, bu rather a reluctant
yielding to a strong, spontaneous senti-
ment all o7er Georgia for him to make
the race. Gen. Evans is in NJ way con
nected with any political clique or ring
in Georgia and he has never decended to
employing chicanery nor tricks to carry
his points. Modest, gentle and pure as a
woman, General Evans is as brave as the
bravest in the face of danger, whether
it be on the battle field in defense of all
that is dear to Southern hearts, in the
pulpit denouncing sin or in the arena of
politics. where So many Georglahs have
placed him, obtaining him their
leader.

behind it.

THERE is one thing in which Dawson
can take a pointer from Cuthbert We
have been favored by Mayor Bob Moy,
with handsome pamphlet, finely illus
trated, setting forth the advantages OF
Cuthbert and Randolph county in very
interesting and convincing manner. 3D.
600 of these pamphlets have been printed
and will be distributed among the people
of the north and west, and the results
therefrom will do doubt be very bene-
fetal to our enterprisiug and desc irving

more if other towns would follow Cutb-

WERE IT Will DO MOST GOOD.

The tariff bill that W! II be introduced
in the present session of congress is just
such a one as will meet the demands of
the people.
There have been reductions all along
the line, but perhaps the most important
feature of all to the people at large is
the sweeping reduction in clothing ma
terials of all kinds, and particularly in
wooden goods. This is something that
comes home to every family and to every
individual. We shall no longer have to
submit to the denominations of shOddy
and cotton Filings that have been palmed
off on the people for "all wool" but will
get genuine wooden goods and get them
at lower rates than we have been paying
for the imitation articles. Carpets also
which have become articles of necessity
in America, will be reduced largely in
price, and the homes of the people will
be benefited in this. The absurd bread
stuff taxes, which served no purpose ex-
cept to occasionally raise the price of
seed. are done away with. On the whole,
the bill is an earnest, courageous and
genuine measure of tariff reform, and
the ways and means committee is to be
heartily congratulated on its good work.

LAST year the Democracy blamed
everything on the Mckinley hill. The
Homestead riot, drouth, potato bug
ravages, the defeat of John L. Sullivan
and many other calamities were al
ascribed to the ubiquitous Mckinley
tariff and they therefore wanted a
change. But this year all calamities
are due to the purchase clause of the
Sherman act. This change is all the
more unaccountable from the fact that
they carried the election last fall because
of their allegations against the McKin-
ley bill. They must admit either that
they were Insincere last year or that they
are inconsistent now. The real trouble
is, coming down to the truth, that they
have so denounced the Mckinley bill,
that they must change the tariff and
they fear that in SO doing they will dis
play their ignorance and make asses of
themselves. They did not expect they
would be taken at their word and be
called upon to really provide substitute
for the Mckinley tariff, hence their sur
prise was SO great they dropped the Nc
Kinley bill like dog would drop hot
potato and changed to the Sherman act
to attract attention from the main ques-
tion until they could formulate some
plausible ideas for tariff reform.

THE ATTRACTIONS OF ART.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
One of the greatest attractions of the
Worlds Fair lies in the wonderful ex-
hibit of paintings. No rooms are so
crowded by intelligent and deeply inter
ested sight-seers as those which are
devoted to the display of the fine arts.
Anyone passing through the thronged
galleries at Chicago, where hang the
choicest products of the painters brush,
can not fail to be impressed by the keen
appreciation of the public. The proof
is given there, as it has often been given
before, that it is not the connoisseurs or
the dilettanti alone who delight in
pictures, but that the touch of human
nature which makes the world kin Is
fully illustrated among people from all
walks when in the presence of those
canvases which are eloquent of the spirit.

Grand Army Items

The loss by death in the g. \. r.
during the year was 7,002. This is in ex-
cess of any previous annual mortuary re-
turn. Adding TO the figures the estilna-
ted loss among veterans not members of
the order, amounting by a conservative
estimate to 1900, we have a loss by death
among the Union veterans of 1850.
The total membership of the Grand
Army of the Republic is 1864, of which
397, ,223 are in good standing; suspended
Al ,661; by delinquent reports, 1870. The
gain by muster during the past year is

THE MOTH OF AvARICE.

New York Press.
HAS the moth of avarice, the canker
of greed, so eaten into the hearts of this
generation that thsy are unmindful OF
these men? God Forbid" Facing that
grand conclave of Union veterans at
Indianapolis General Harrison, in his
speech, uttered the sentence with which
we open this article. We hope that
every word of this patriotic gem, one of
the best of the ex-President's remarka-
BILE speeches, will be read. 1t will give
those who follow this advice a genuine
pleasure and at the same time inspire
them with renewed love for the flag, for
those who defended it, and for the
Republic.
General Harrison spoke to the assem-
bled soldiers not as an ex-President of
the United States; but as plain CON-
rade-a fellow soldier who had shared
their hardships and their perils, who,
like them, had left home and family 10
serve the nation in its need; who had
faced with them the guns of the enemy
on the battlefield. His terse and strik-
ing characterization of the veterans as
'.men who have shed their blood and
dropped their limbs upon the battlefield
and who walk among us tonight
MANNED, dismembered, that the honor
of the flag might be untarnished and
the Union. .unbroken," was the absolute,
simple truth.
1t was not for gain or for gold
that the great mass of Union soldiers
forsook the pursuits of peace and en-
gagged in the most fiercely contested war
of the century. A higher motive than
the ridiculously inadequate pay of the
soldier was their inspiration. Patriotism,
not greed, was the force that recruited
the armies of the nation; the invincible
power that sustained them in the midst
of disease and death until victory was
won at the cost of million lives.
In few brief sentences eX-President
Harrison put the American soldier in
precisely the right light. So long as
God gave him strength of arm "he
wrought and ate the bread of independ-
ence" Only when he became the vet
eran of time did he turn to the country
which promised him relief and made
that promise part of the contract. The
old soldiers are not beggars. They ask
not aims, but justice. That justice the
nation that owes to them its existence
will not suffer to be denied.

Do Not Be DECEIVED.

Wages are going down in this coun-
try chiefly because the business of tariff
revision has been entrusted to the
Democratic party, which has plodged
itself to remove every shred of pro-
lection from the tariff law The coun-
try is now discounting this pledge. No
merchant will buy goods made with dear
labor, if he considers fair the prospect
that within brief period he may buy
goods made with cheap labor. The
process of assimilating wages in this
country to wages in Europe has begun.
and unless there shall be assurance that
Congress will let the tariff alone 1t will
continue. No manufacturer can help
himself. Labor-cost is the main cost of
production, and it is idle to expect an
employer to compete with rivals whose
labor-cost Is less than his own. Of
course the Democrats will be glad to
persuade the wage-earners that the
fault is with the employers. Just as Mr..
Cleveland was eager to induce the
country to believe that the silver pur-
chases produced the hard times; but no
worklngman need be deceived unless he
Is willing to be deceived.
