amazing that people ever wore anything

taken place than mourning was sent as
present by the family not only to rcla-

thing Immediately surrounding the chief
mourner was put into the deepest black.

TO THE sOUTH's CREDIT,

Two events Of the past week
have placed the South in a very
favorable light before the world.
In Texas, by the vigorous effort
Of Governor Cuiberson, a special
session of the Legislature has
assed law which will effect>
ually stop prize fighting in chat
State.
In Atlanta the exposition di
rectors promptly voted down a
resolution TO open the gates on
Sunday, and commenting on
this the Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph says:
One thing may frankly and
truthfully be said. In no part of
this country is the oldfashioned
American Sunday-a day of Sc
cession from secular labor, re-
spectful quiet and worship for
all who are SO inclined-So gem
orally observed as in the South.
This fact is noted with extreme
qualification by Northern visitors
already unhappily familiar with
current practices throughout
this section and the West partic-
ularly. There is to be no un~
seemly and costly contest over
opening the Atlanta Exposition
on the first day of the week.
There was a feeble effort in
this direction, but it has been
speedily disposed of and in a
characteristic way by the direc-
tory, which unanimously voted
to postpone all consideration of
the subject. This course is taken
in Difference to local public senti-
ment and in accordance with fun
damental American principles.
Atlanta is very busy city six
days in the week; it is forging
ahead in every element of mater
ial prosperity; but on Saturday
night it lays aside the tools of la
Dor and refrains from unneces :
sary trespdss upoh the rights Of
those who toll. In this respect
the new South sets a healthful
and inspiriu example to the reck-
less cities Of the West, which
have almost abolished the Amer
lean Sunday.

that majority of the people of

of Cuba will be secured. The

Meat in the South.

In commenting on the Atlanta
Exposition, the National Pro
visioner, of New York, calls at
tention to its Importance as fol-
lows:
The Cotton States and Inter
national Exposition has been
opened successfully at Atlanta,
Ga, it behooves every patriotic
American to congratulate him
self and the South upon this
event. The South, with its i'm
mense resources and .possibili-
tiles, will, in our opinion,
play an important part in the
meat and provision industries OF
the United States In the not too
far future. Corn will be raised
where cotton now abounds, and
cattle and hogs will be fed, and
packing slaughter houses estab-
lished on many field where now
the negro drives his mule.

THE COMPARATIVE DOCKET.

Editor Argus:
In recent issue of The ARGUS you
stated that the criminal docket was
likely to cons mo the whole term of the
court 'and thai there were many cases
of trivial natuie that should never
have peen sent up, but the Rep-Pop
magistrates appointed by the last Leg
islature had - do something to let
themselves be heard f ON, anu the tax
payers have to foot the BILL
Now, Joe, l agree with you that
many cases go to court that should
never go there but let US see who have
sent these cases up, and who it is that
is helping to increase the burden OF the
Taxpayers.
There were eighty cases in all sent
up by justices at the last term: OF this
number sixty-seven were sent up by
Democratic justices, 1.-TWO justices alone
sending up orty-nine-Justice Broad
hurst, thirty 1.-TWO, and Mayor Hill, seven
teen and thirteen we're sent up by the
Rep-Pops, as you are pleased to call
them. So you see that the Rep-Pops
have played only small hand in heap
ing burdens upon the taxpayers.
Now. Mr.. Editor, if YOU are disposed
to be fair you will publish this, that
your readers may know the facts. Will
you do it? Respectfully,

Our New Jingo School.

SuA A<SN y oShoNA'
The idea that national honor or
prosperity is to be sought BY
might rather than right, and that
it is desirable thing for ma
ton to bully its neighbors, or at
least those feebler than itself, has
never been accepted in this coun-
try. The American idea has al
ways been that every country
should mind it's own business
and deal justly with others. The
British plan of putting a finge~
in every pie and grabbing any
thing that could be got away with
has always been especial obnox-
ious to the American sense of
liberty and right.
There has arisen lately among
US new school of political ens
thusiasts who boldly proclaim
the doctrine of might, and who
regard the British plan as the
only one worthy of imitation.
These persons are very much in
terested in the enlargement Of
the navy, not as an agency of
peace and commerce but in order
that the United States may send
out upon the high seas and cap
ture something-some island or
other. it matters little-and may
keep up with the British in init
mldating the heather Of Asia,
Africa and the Pacific islands,
whether we have anything to
gain by it or not.
The Chicago Tribune is one of
the fraLkest advocates Of the
doctrine of international rowdy-
isrn. The recent British demon
-stration in China, which happen
ed for once to be justified,
strikes it as a model for general
imitation under ali ci1cumstan-
ces, THAT is the way to do
business" it exclaims:
Issue an ultimatum and live up
to it. Never mind diplomacy.
never mind International comfy,
never mind anything but the o.
ject to be attained. 1t is lesson
the United States sadly needs to
learn.
In securing ones self it is
pleasant to consider another's
feelings, but not particularly ad-
van iageous.
Evidently, the teaching that
righteousness exalteth ma
ton" is played out. We have
tried for century to maintain
this against the world, and we
have been fiattering ourselves
that we were doing something
for civilization. But civilization
is only a barren ideality. Wash
ington and Jefferson and Monroe
and the rest of them were old
forgies. Let us go back to the
barbarism from which we came.
to the ancient idea that self-in-
terest, real CT apparent, is the
only guide TO political action
and power the OILY measure o.
national policy. We have seer
the happy results of this idea il
the history of Europe, but wha
of that? What if we have pros
pered hitherto by minding oul
own business. It is we'll estab
lished that we can lick all crea
ton and it is time to go out ant
lick somebody just for glory.
Il is mainly because the Presi
dent won't do this, but feebly pre-
! fers to ''have little right o.
our side," that the jingo states
men have no use for him.-Phil
adelphia Times.
