Fron, ths Nep York Tribune.

Let us drop momentarily the cabinet as a
whole, or, il not drop it with proverbial
dull thud, at least set 1t aside in q cool place
where it will hold together for few mo-
ments while we segregate Hoke Smith aud
consider him by himsSlf. For Hoke seems
now not merely a possibility, in which light
we have heretofore viewed him, but. in spite
of Congressman LivIugston's extremely
vigorous remarks, and the probability of It's
creating disturbance In Georgia, we'll
rounded certainty. We are free
to confess that upon Hokes
first emerRence from the interstellar
spaces We were unable to account for him.
He had all the appearance of having been,
as 1t were, sprung on us. He quite dazzled
us. he recalled to us the familiar story OF
Jones who, stepping to the platform at a
political meeting in response to vigorous
calls, was prevented from proceeding by
continued cries of Jones, Jones" from a
loud-voiced man in the audience, until the
chairman said: This is Mr.. Jones. He
will address the meeting when silence is re-
stored" Whereat the loud-voiced man,
with a look OF ineffable disgust, said: "Is
that Jonesa Why, that's the little ouss that
asked me to boiler 'Jones'n
We had not heard of Hoke until his own
newspaper in Georgia pushed him into the
face and eyes of all the world as somebody
in particular, and little later Hoke him
self came blushingly forward to say that he
had been pushed into prominence without
his own knowledge or consent at a time
when he was away from home. This cir
cumstance gave Hoke such sudden currency
and vogue as timely topic in the press OF
the country that we said In our ignorance
of him and our inability to account for him:
This must be a case OF Jones'"
We were wrong. Hoke was not so OBJ
scure person as we supposed. The orbit
in which he had moved prior to bis perihe-
lion was somewhat Georgian in it's limita-
tons, but he had one; and the people OF
Georgia were familiar with his briliance.
The truth is that outside of that state In
many portions of the country there prevails
dense, one might almost say besotted, ig-
norance concerning its productions and its
resources.
Ignorance Of what is going on in Georgia
being so universal, it will not be thought
strange that the emergence OF Hoke as
cabinet possibility seemed to US sudden,
abrupt, phenomenal. bewildering. And
when Congressman Livingston Of Georgia
waited upon cabinet-maker Dickinson and
told him in vigorous terms that il Hoke
Smith went into the cabinet there would be
what the statesmen Of our day call 'helto-
pay" in Georgia, it may be that in the be-
lief that Hoke was quite improbable con-
tingency, we treated Livingston's solicitude
with undue levity. If so, we hereby apollo
glze to Livingston, to Hoke aud to all fac
lions in Georgia

Hoke Smith-the Hoke Smith who called
on Mr.. Cleveland yesterday and accepted a

de is about 80 years old, is fully feet tall
and weighs more than 200 pounds. His face
is round, clean shaven, and he does not look

style Of headwear. He talks with a slight
southern accent, and when he wants to talk
he knows how to do it. Altogether Mr..
Smith is a f1ne-looking man. and his friends

the Agony Was over.
From Thursdays Net0 York Sun.
AT 1890 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr..
Cleveland received alone In his private
Office in the Mills building Hoke Smith Of
Georgia. Hoke Smith, so securely isolated
from all other Smiths whatsoever by his FIRST
name, came down from hiding place some
where up town. He was guarded by Gen.
1ordon of Georgia and by Rufus N. Rhodes
OF the Birmingham Daily NetcS. While
Mr.. Smith was in the private office the two
other southerners sat outside with faces that
strongly suggested the anxious family
awaiting news of the crisis in terrible
sickness.
After twenty minutes or SO the door
opened. and the two southerners jumped to
their feet and rushed forward to greet Hoke
smith. That gentleman's round, smooth
IAce expressed the greatest satisfaction. His
stomach was pushed forward and his shout
Iers were thrown back. He looked happy,
uut he was no longer the smiling good
natured, jovial Hoke Smith of twenty min
utes before.
-, How is it, HolIeP said Mr.. Rhodes, In
~'tnost an agonized tone.

hands with Mr.. Rhodes and then with Gen.
Gordon again, and then with several other
men who were stacriibg about Mr.. Cleve-
land came out. and there was more hand
shaking. Mr. RHODES coughBd and
Strengthened himself, and fred at Mr.. Cleve-
land an eloquent yofey Of that shot OF COM
pliment " herewith southern gentlemen are
always loaded. But Hoke Smith was not
the same. and all his friends will have to
get used to him over again. He has lost
that off-hand way of his.
HOEe Smith has been in New York
several times in his life for few hurried
days. But few people took any notice of
him, and the most Of Manhattan Island
didn't know who be was. The Hon. Hoke
Smith, secretary Of the Interior, Is a differ
ent person, and every one must get ac-
qusinted with him. Two questions are on
everybody's lips: who is Hoke Smith?"
and "Where did be get that nameP
It is a mistake to suppose that Hoke is the
short for Hokokus. It is plain Hoke-that
and nothing more. Furthermore. it has no
middle name to help it out in its task of
differentiating Smith from the 10000, goo
other Smiths. Indeed, il needs no assist
ance. When this particular offshoot Of the
Smith family was born down in North Car
olina thirty-eight years ago, there was q
consultation as to how TO secure its identity
positively. The fathers name was h. H.
Smith. The mother had been Miss Hoke
before she was married. SO they called the
boy Hoke. And no one having heard the
name can or does ever forget IL.

Northern Visitors Who Have Fast
Roadsters among the Pines
TOWNSVILLE, GA, Feb. 17.-Thomas-
vile is famous all over the United States
for her fine roads in the surrounding country.
There is enough clay in the soil to make it
firm and enough sand in the clay to prevent
its begging or sticking, presenting many
stretches sot road almost If not quite equal
to concrete. The country Is Just level
enough to make good trotting and suffi-
olently undulating to break the monotony.
Not only the great high roads are popular,
but also oross-country and neighborhood
roads. Their curves and windings among
the lnterminable pine forests and across
hmpid streams afford special attractions to
people from the cities of the north or the
prairtes Of the west. 1t naturally follows
that there should be a great number of fine
horses and elegant turnouts. Thomasville
probably has the finest livery In Georgia,
which is patronized generously by the multi
tudes OF pleasure-loving and health-seeknig
tourists who annually frequent this fort
innate region. But the finest rigs are those
owned by private individuals. The horses
are generally carried backward and for
ward with toe seasons, but some Of them re-
main all toe year. or this fine stock, Mr..
Parsons Of Bonnie Terre, Mo-, has four

These beautiful animals cost from $500 to
$500 per pair. The vehicles consist of
every conceivable sort from the lofty
tallyho to the pony cart. This feature OF
the winter life of Thomasville is annually
on the increase. IL would appear now that
this city is destined to present in the future
the greatest attractions in horse flesh and
pleasure driving In the south.

COTTON SEED.
The Southern Cotton Oil Co,
SAVANNAH, GA.
L. w. Haskell, Mgr.
To Cotton Planters.

We beg to announce to you that Gotten seed
oil has advanced to such good value that we
can offer you the following exchange of fertil-
izer for cotton seed. We have regular agents
at every depot, and we have authorized them
to offer you for us as follows:
For every 20 bushels OF cotton seed you
will deliver 10 our agents they will give you 500
pounds of standard guano. Or for 20 bushels OF
seed they will give you TO pounds of acid phos-
plate Or for 90 bushels Of seed they Will give
you 900 pounds Of our prime cotton seed meal.
Now, the practical question to you is, which
will pay you best as fertilizer, 20 bushels OF
seed per acre. or 500 pounds Of standard guanof
You have used both seed and commercial fer
tilizer for years past If you had 70 buy seed
as a fertilizer and were offered by fertilizer
dealer 20 bushels OF cotton seed for the same
price that you are offered 800 pounds of stand
ard guano at, which would you pay for and put
on your laudl
We can arrange to have the fertilizers at the
depot before you have your seed, so that you
can haul load both ways. This arrangement,
through our agents, viii enable you to haul az
your convenience In small quantities
We desire, also. TO again call your attention
to the value Of cotton seed bulls as a food for
cattle. We have been 80 successful in introduo-
ing them. and they have proved to be so eco
nomical and valuable az a food that we have
stopped burning them as We formerly did and
are now shipping our entire production as feed,
amounting to 800 tons per week. From our
western mills we are shipping hundreds OF tons
to the cattle pens of Cincinnati. Chicago and
81. Louis.
