Friday evening and Mr.. B. T.

a tacky party, where pandemOnium
reigned supreme. The city folks

ing their country cousins, but from
all appearances, it would seem that
it was the other way, The unlucky

chorus of "haw, haw, haws," and

female, and when his hands were
freed from the hydraulic pressure of
of some of the gentlemans' fists, sly

were broken, and to calculate the
amount of the surgeons bill. Then
there was the prettiest grass widow

did smoke; country belle, who had
been to Vassar, and was on the out
look fol a catch, whose voice like
Tennyson's brook kept going on for
ever with the shrillness of steam
calliope; the parson, who was only
little more deaf than a post, but
who did not disdain to dance a jig,
although his pantaloons reached no
further than the calves of his legs,
and the half-idiot boy, who had bor-
rowed his fathers coat for the occas-
ion and wore collar s inches high,
was the drollest we have seen for a
long time, and his antics kept the
crowd in roar. The vocalizing by

WHERE REFORMATION rs NEEDED.

The people Of Savannah want the school
wear heightened and more teaching done,
and the Morning News strongly advo-
Gates a reformation on that line. Our
Savannah contemporary says the schools
of that city are in session only about loO
of the 365 days of the year, aud the daily
sessions are only five hours each, includ-
ing the half hour for recess.
1t is apparent that great deal of time
is given up to holidays and vacations,
and what is true of Savannah IS probably
no less true of every town in which pub
lie schools are in operation. This extra
ordinary loss of time does not make
great deal of difference to children whose
parents are we'll enough off to keep them
at school until they graduate, but it is
against those children who are forced
from necessity to become wage earners
as soon as they are old enough to be
valuable as employees.
The school houses are the property OF
the public and the eachefS are pald oy
the year, and, as the Morning News says,
there are no reasons why The schools
should not be kept open a greater num-
Der of days in year; and it would
certainly be much better for the children
to attend school IL ore than be allowed to
run about the streets, particularly as it
would cost nothing to keep the schools
open more than they now are.
We are satisfied there would be no pro
test from the great majority of parents
should a reform in this matter be iuaug-
urated In fact, it is pretty certain
they would approve a reform of that
sort.
A large amount of money is spent foI
schools. Why not get the greastest pos
sible benefit for the expenditure? #

REV. S. S. SWEET died very suddenly
at his room at the St. Dennis hotel, in
New York, on Tuesday of last week. He
left his home in Macon few days before,
and expected to sail for Carlsbad. He
had been in declining health for some
time, and was going abroad to seek relief
from an affection which he had borne
with Christian fortitude for many years.
There are thousands of people through
out Georgia who are grieved at the an
nounoement of his death. He was ex-
tensively known all over the state, AID
to know the good man was to esteem
him as a Christian gentleman.

NEWS AND VIEWS

-Ex.Consul j 0hn l.. Waller, whose
deportation from Madagascar to France
by the French authorities may become
an international issue, is negro. He
was born slave near New Madrid, Mo.
He served in the federal army during the
war. aad afIerward settled in Kansas.
He became leading republican politi-
clan, andi was presidential electOr in
1888. He was the messenger of the state
to carry the result of the vote of the cleo
tOrial college-to Washington. 1t appears
that he is man of considerable business
sagacity.
A man arose ia Philadelphia prayer
meeting the other night and said that
at his first wifes death he proposed
marriage t. a worldly woman. Aftel-
ward he thought he had erred in not
seeking a Christian woman, and then
on his way to the marriage ceremony he
lifted his eyes to Heaven and said:
"God, if you don't want me t. marry
this woman, strike her with lightning
before we reach the church." The
lightning didn't appear and the ceremo-
ny took place.
Two thousand pupils in a Brooklyn
school are on a strike for what virtually

takes the form of refusal to sing during

cation of the old proverb about the bird
that can sing and won't sing.

A speoious and slanderOus Argument.


From the Albany Herald.
In their efforts t. meet the arguments
that are advanced by the silverites, the
organs off the goldites invariably fall
back on the stale and baselesS old story
about creditors being paid Fifty cent
dollars" when they contracted for "hOn-
est money"
Who in this country contracted any
debts to be paid in gold? All the pri-
vate debts of this country contracted
prior to the repeal of the silver pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act were
contracted upon a silver basis, and since
then congress has distinctly refused to
authorize the administration to issue the
bonds OF the United States government
with the stipulation that they were to be
paid in gold.
In the face of these undeniable facts,
what becomes of the insiuuationS-nay,
the open charges of the goldbugs-that
those who are now opposing the perma-
nent decentralization of silver and a
further contraction of the currency by
forcing the single gold standard upon the
country, are guilty of wanting to pay
honest debts with "fifty-cent dollars?'
The records are so complete to sus-
tain the position that the obligations of
this country are payable in either gold
or silver that the question is not Que
that admits of argument. The Augusta
Chronicle states the situation correctly
when it says that "the new theory that
it is incumbent to pay debts only in gold
that are expressly payable in either gold
or silver is simply the skillful humbug-
gerry of the same class of shylarks who
bought United States bonds in depreciat-
ed paper money and insisted on their re
demption only in gold"
