An APPEAL
TO the Citizens, of Cobb
County.
COMING EXPOSITION IN ATLANTA.
The Importance Of Our County Being
Fully and Properly Represented
In Everything.

EllroRs MARIETrA Journal Please
ALLOW us space to call attention through
your columns to the work, which the ladies
are doing in behalf of Cobb county, that
she may be properly represented at the
coming Exposition in Atlanta.
We have been steadily engaged for sew
eral weeks, and against many drawbacks,
have our work at las. we'll in hand, the
different committees, about twenty in
number, all appointed and zealousIy at
work. But while these committees cover
the greater part OF tie feld, our county
will be but half represe nted without the
assistance of our father, husbands, sons
and brothers. We feel encouraged to call
upon them to help US, b. cause Of the notice
in your last week issLe OF the probable
preparations for county fair and also the
permanent organization of county fair
association. Can we not join forces and
after we help to make the county fair a
success, can we not take the best part of
that exhibit and carry it to Atlanta? The
importance Of having our county wen
represented there cannot be over>estlma~
ted. Thousands If thrifty, intelligent
h0me>seekers will visit the Exposition in
search of information in regard to the
various sections of the South, and those
sections which appreciate the opportunity.
and present their claims in the most at
tractive manner will be the ones to reap
| the benefit. Every good citizen, who
Rnakes his home In our county adds that
imuch to its wealth an2 prosperity, and the
more of this class we have the more pros
porous we become.
II we are to do anything in this work
II is important not to delay longer. sThe
IIsinsstr. specimess Of our field, vineyard
orchard and garden crops should be stp
lected and preserved. Specimens Of OBJ
natural, mineral and manufactured afticle
should be presented in their most attrac
tive form. Whatever products We hav,
of either hand or machine, should b,
shown to the assembled representatives 0
the world, not of our own country alone
IN order to place Cobb county where sh
properly belongs, in the front ranks 0
progress.
Trusting to receive favorable Response
from our citizens Of both county and town

EDS. JouRNAL-The deplorable Killing of
Mr.. Pitts by Joe Eaton, in Cobb county
few days ago, prompted by dispute
between them about boundary land line,
suggests to my mind that there may be
many misapprehensions as to the size,
shape and extent OF the lots OF land stu
ated in Cobb and adjoining counties, as
surveyed, measured and located by the
former surveyors employed by the state
tor that purpose. No doubt many diff.
cul:ies and disputes arise among the cit.
liens for the want of information as to the
true status of said lots. think it is the
general impression that the lots are laid
OF IN regular squares as represented on
the maps suspended on the walls, tor ret>
erence, in the respective offices of the
Clerk and Ordinary. find in resurvey.
ing and measuring the lots that most OF
them are rectangular in shape with their
long sides extending east and west in some
tiers, and in other tiers the reverse, ex>
tending north and south. | also find
that the said lots vary very much in size,
shape and extent in different tiers Com.
paratively few contain 40 acres, as inten.
ded, while others contain more, and few
as many as so acres l also find laps or
double corners where the parallel and the
perpendicular lines of opposite tiers should
always meet and coincide with each other
as they do IN perfect survey. 1: may be
that these lines and boundaries have been
distorted by some means, since the origi>
nal survey was made, if not. they, the
surveyors, were certainly very careless and
did the state gross injustice.

Yesterday morning Manager White,
of the local base ball team, went over
to the site OF the ball park on the ISL
and, in company with Architects Hen
nigst and Hamilton. and the three
looked over the grounds and decided
upon the location of the grand stand.
II will face the northwest, as in the old
park on Fink street. The work Of
erecting the stand and bleachers will
be commenced this morning, and will
be pushed rapidly with view TO hav-
ing the grounds in readiness for the eX-
hibition games about the middle of
April The stand may not be COM
pleted at that time, but there will be
seating accommodations, the diamond
will be in shape, and the grounds en-
closed.
Manager White has signed Thomas
Kane, who last year pitched for Mar
tins Ferry, and played the previous
season in the Indiana League. Kane
will not pitch however, as he does ex-
cellent backstop work. He has been
in constant practice. and will give a
good account of himself.
Business Manager Barrows will be
down from Pittsburg this morning,
and will Immediately place the season
tickets on sale. 1t is expected that
there will be a lively demand for them,
considering the remarkably low rate
at which they are offered.

Council at its session tonight should
give careful consideration to the re-
port and recommendation of the Com
mittee on Lights and the Gas Board.
which met jointly last week to con
slider the problem presented by the
deficit in the finances Of the gas works.
At that meeting il was shown. as the
Register has frequently pointed out.
that the city opened the door to the
financial ruin Of its gas works when
it gave the electric lighting privilege
70 a private concern. With that IN
wise act it gave away a valuable fran
chise, which it should now be willing
70 get back. as municipal right and
and for self protection. at anything
approaching reasonable cost, and to
charge IL up to valuable experience.
The Wheeling Electrical Company.
has so cut into the city's lighting BUSH
ness that a once profitable source of
revenue must become another burden
on the taxpayers unless the CITY re-
covers the ground it has lost to the
Electrical Company by buying out that
company and resuming municipal con-
troll Of this natural monopoly. which
resumption was confidently expected
when the present street lighting plant
was contracted for. else that splendid
and expensive concern would never
have been built The only alternative
the city has to this course is a total
surrender OF the lighting business into
private hands. course which will
never be adopted with the consent Of
those who remember their experience
in the past under private monopoly
when the price Of gas was $3.50.
Under the law the price which the
city shall pay the company for its
plant if it shall decide TO buy. will be
settled by arbitration il the sum can
be agreed upon in no other way. This
is certainly as fair as can be to both
the city and the company. Indeed.
the city can better afford TO pay almost
any price than let its costly gas and
electric street lighting plants 90 to
rack and ruin. as they must, if the
present state of affairs is allowed to
continue
After careful consideration of the
subject We are confident that Council
will agree that the only way out of
the difficulty at this stage Of the pro
ceedings lies through the purchase of
the Wheeling Electrical Co.'S plant as
provided by law and the resumption
by the city OF its full rights of mu-
nicipal ownership and control Of the
lighting privilege both gas and cleo
ric. which in a At Of mental abbera-
ton it consented to divide in such
unequal proportion with the present
pEiEaAs corporation

ORGANIC NONSENSE.

The following from the Philadelphia
Press is being extensively quoted by
Republican organs:
From the talk AT the State Depart
ment the administration appears 10 ne IN
a mood 10 forget and forgive SPAIN lot
firing on the American nag. NO uiIeCl
reply. so far as can be learned. mas been
received from the Spanish government IN
the Alliance matter. But, through tIIe
American Minister at Madrid, inumauohs
have been received that the spanish gov
eminent would do the right thing. AS
the Spanish government has claimed that
IL was fully justified by international law
in overhauling vessels within six miles OF
the Cuban coast, IL will be seen that the
Spanish are merely laying the foundation
FOR an Ostensihle compliance with the
American dema I'd, while at the same
time they do not yield an inch OF the
ground they have taken heretofore
Commenting upon this ridiculous
partisan nonsense. the Independent
Washington Post says that it is quite
conceivable that Mr.. Cleveland was
both astonished and dismayed when
upon his return to Washington last
month he found that Spain had been
summarily ordered TO make abject
apology for an incident of which the
State Department had no official no
tice, and as to the facts whereof not
single word of authorized testimony
has been received. The President
knew, of course, that under similar
circumstances the United States would
not dream of Offering reparation, or,
indeed, of even expressing regret. He
knew that this country would insist
upon waiting for official information,
and that any attempt on the part of a
foreign power 10 force US 10 an ac-
ceptance of a merchant captains re-
port would be regarded as an indignity
to be resented. As was natural, there
fore, he favored a modification of the
very hasty and arbitrary attitude that
had been assumed, and left Spain free
to proceed without humiliation and
abasement we should" adds the
Post have been very greatly sur
prised, not to say shocked, if Mr.. Cleve-
land had felt and acted otherwise"
But TO say that the President went
beyond this, and to intimate that he
has encouraged, or Will encourage,
Spain in any discourtesy toward the
United States, our Washington con-
temporary characterizes as nonsense,
if nothing worse; that the mere pre-
sentation of such a proposition only
goes to show how foolish an organ can
be at times, and to what a sad extent
party servitude saps the temper and
enfeebles the intelligence. There is no
dignity in buster, no grandeur in
turbulence. The President can uphold
the honor of the country without bull
lying the nations of the earth and
staggering and spluttering like bar
room terror. The United States can
fight fast enough when the time comes,
but there is no occasion for behaving
like a bully in the meantime. We
think We can safely say for Mr.. Cleve-
land that he will obtain for us all the
amends the circumstances call for. 1t
is to his credit that he is willing to
wait until those amends can be accu-
rately determined and appraised

rurI~co,Jr TAX DECISION.

The facts Of the reported decision
of the United States Supreme Court
in the income tax case. which leaked
out last Saturday, have been con-
frmed by the official publication.
Though based upon a strict legal in
depreciation of the Constitution, the
decision will hardly meet the popular
idea of justice. That part of the law
providing for the taxation Of incomes
derived from rentals and real estate
and bonds issued by States, counties
and municipalities is declared uncon-
stitutiOnal and void.
These are the features which most
commended the law TO the people.
The plan was TO raise needed revenue
BY taxing the INDEPENDENTLY the
non-producing rich-in something like
lust proportion to their ability to pay;
but this decision exempts the wealth
lest classes entirely. 1t is found that
WneQ SpllL % inc AASASS9 VI A
Constitution allows the heavy land
owners, the alien landlords, the
heavy owners Of real estate and the
.bloated bondholders" 10 escape scot
free. and confines the application Of
the income tax to business men who
are sufficiently lucky, prosperous or
industrious to make over $4,000 a year.
The court was evenly divided on
the constitutionality Of the entire
measure. It's decision could hardly
have been less popular had it ruled
out the whole law.
What the effect will be upon the
revenues remains TO be seen.
