THE BROKEN RECORD.

The solid south is thing OF the past.
The tidal wave of popular favor upon
which the democratic party was wa1Ceo
into absolute political power has react
ed with tremendous significance, and IL
is now shorn of it's strength, and It's
great maiorities have dwindled away
until, like a ship at sea dismantled oy
the violence of the storm, it is again at
the mercy of opposing elements, says the
Atlanta Gazette.
Ordinarily surrender of the demo
cratic standard by a single southern
state would have been regarded by our
people with universal expressions OF
sorrow mingled with manifestation CT
dread of impending evil, but the times
are out of Iioint, and as is railways the
case, the odium of responsibility falls
upon The party that controls the relnS
of political power. In the present dis
satisfied and unsettled condition OF the
public mind, IL would be madness to at
tempt 10 lay the blame where 1T justly
belongs, or to demonstrate the why's
and wh0refores OF reiult that we are
constrained to regard as seriously
threatening calamity to the best interests
of the south. 1t may be as well, how
ever, to remind our people that the
selfish ambitions of unpatriotic poll
licians have exercised no little influence
in bringing about the untoward results
that again put the south in the power
of inimical sectional influences that can
not be nationally expected to contribute
to her ultimate prosperity.
We cannot regard this democratic dis
asten, ever should we admit that it was
merited by it's failure to make the best
of overwhelming opportunity, with
stoical Indifference and uncOncern. 1t
strikes the south in a vulnerable place,
and we can but fear, with the solid facts
of history for our guide, that the wound
will be deep and lasting, particularly if
our home politicians do not exhibit
greater concern for public Interests and
less regard for their own personal ad-
vancement.
It is a notable fact that the real welfare
of the people occupies the minimum of
the attention of the average political
office-holder, while the maximum of his
mental and physical resources are de-
voted to the arts of political legerde-
main in the interest Of purely selfish,
and even corrupt considerations. Patri
otism, unselfish devotion by public
servants to the DOL cations of duty, the
subordlnation of personal aims to
fidelity to the welfare of the people, is
the paramount imperious demand of
the hour. Let democratic statesmen
tuln from love of self to a patriotic re-
gard for public interest and its lestora-
ton to power will be speedy and over
whelming.

ELECTION OF THE JUDICIARY.

News comes from Atlanta that there is
but little hope of the present Legislature
taking the election of judges and solicit
tors general away from that body, the ju-
dietary committee having adversely re-
ported all bills looking to that end.
But, thanks to those members of the
assembly who are not dominated by
ring influences, the fight did not end
with the action of the com mittee, but
has been taken before the house.
One feature of this contest is is that
the daily papers report that the linen
who CONTROL" realizing that the life of
their notorious political combination
depends upon defeating the proposed
change, are solidly arrayed against 1t,
some of the judges and solicitors, 10 put
it mildly, even making known their OPP
position to this movement of the peo-
pie.
If the Legislature has any considera-
ton for it's party it will not hesitate to
put CHo eleCLlou u lilS JuuICidIy OoyOhu
even the suspicion of political jobbery.
The people are dlsgusted with the pres
ent method, and declare that they are
tired of system cut of which has grown
so many charges of political CORFU ptiOn.
They want change, and they generally
get what they want. The change may
not be made now, but the people will
take care that Legislature is elected
that will carry out their wishes.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

At the convention of the cotton plan
tiers which met last week in Montgomery,
Ala, the suggestion was made that every
possible encouragement should be given
by the southern peop'e to the building
of factories in the south for the manu-
facture of cotton yarn. The yarn COM
mands about twice the price of cotton.
If the bulk of the cotton crop were man
ufactured into yarn before it leaves the
south the south would receive for her
cotton crop about twice the amount of
money annually that she now receives.
Besides enriching the south such cot
ton yarn factories would furnish employ
lnent for large number of people. The
yarn would be about as acceptable in
both foreign and domestic markets as
the cotton itself now is. The owners of
northern cotton factories are so enthu-
siastic in respect to the prospects OF the
south that many of them are either NOV
ing their plants to the south or are pre-
pairing to build factories within her
limits.
The south must do something to get
more out of her cotton crop.
At Montgomery permanent organiza-
ton of southern cotton growers was
formed, and Colonel J. 0. Waddell, of
Georgia, was elected vice-president.

Peg Tankards.

The pegging or marking of drinking
cups was introduced by st. Dunstan to
check the Incorporate habits of the
times by preventing one man from TAX
ing larger draft than his companions.
But the device proved the means Of in
creasing the evil it was intended to
remedy. for, refining upon st. Dunstan's
plan, the most abstemious were required
to drink precisely to a peg or pin,
whether they could soberly take such a
quantity of liquor or not. To the use
of such cups may be traced the origin
of many of our popular phrases. When

THE MECCA OF LEISURE.
A Place For Wealthy People Who Desire
Comfortable Incidence.

Comfortable IEdOience.
Washington is rapidly becoming .
favorite place of residence for people
who have made fortunes elsewhere, and
who are devoting the remainder Of their
lives to having good time in q quiet
way. There is large colony OF such
families, and they contribute enormous
" to the general stock of elegant and
comfortable Incidence for which the
city is noted. Then there are the re-
tired army and navy officers. Their
name is legion, and Washington Is their
favorite place to live. You see them in
great numbers in the clubs, on the
thoroughfares, in society. Nor must
the widows be overlooked. There are
more widows in Washington than in
any other city In this country, size for
size. The widows of public men, OF
army and navy officers, of private citi-
zens in all ranks Of life, gravitate to
the Capital City as the pleasantest place
they know of to pass the autumn OF life.
The diplomatic corps comprises sever
al hundred more or less idle and fashion
able men and women. Literary and
scientific men, especially those enjoying
incomes and independence from inherit
ed or other sources, are numerous In
Washington. Always the city contains
thousands of visitors attracted by the
peculiar interest which attaches to the
seat Of government.
Is it any wonder that we have here an
ease loving and an ease enjoying popu-
lation? Are you surprised that Wash
ington laziness has become proverbial
throughout the country? Do you mar
vel that our streets and avenues are rial
toes in which comfortableness, fashion,
superfciality, even insincerity, are con-
stantly displayed?
The street life Of Washington is al
ways interesting. The good dressing
gives an air of elegance to the thorough
fares, which, with their famous shade
trees and pavements smooth and clean as
a floor, are themselves elegant. The
number of noted men and beautiful
women to be seen in any given walk or
drive adds to the charm Of the scene.
The bicycles, numbered literally by thou
sands, add the spice Of rapidity and
whirl to picture that might otherwise
lack somewhat of Washington
