governor the veto power in this matter.
without amending the constitution
His bill provides that the adjutant gen
eral shall invite plans from the archi-
tects, and after their work is ready to
be submitted the governor, judges of the
supreme court, speaker of the house
and president of the senate will selec,
the best plan. The governor would
then appoint a commission of four to
have charge of the work of construc-
ton. the plan is to levy an assess
ment of one-fifth of a mill per year for
three years, which would yield about
100000, but the auditor of state would
not be permitted to make this levy until
after the governor had appointed the
commission. Here is where the veto
power comes in, as, should the governor
never appoint commission, the lew
would never be made. and, of course,
the state house would not be rebuilt.

correct, it will be made at the plimary
meetings that will be held DURING the
ten days prior to that date. This is
correct. The formal election in Sen.
tember will simply be ratification
OF the ticket promulgated at Burling-
ton. This, in Vermont, cannot be

taxes and we must take it as it is.

DAYS OF REMEMBRANCE.

Again the day that should bring all
nen into sympathetic harmony has
come around with it's golden memories
that time, so far from diminishing,
beautifully enhances and sentimentally
snnobles. Tender feelings mingling
with pride and loyal sense of graft
tude inspire a lofty state of mind, and
TO these no man not sordidly selfish
should be insensible on day set apart
as a memorial Of patriotic valor and
devoted manhood, and of life surround
ed by the country's veal. So remote
and shadowy is the epoch of the civil
war that even they that participated in
It's dangers and hardships and had it's
horrors stamped with graphic force i'm.
perishably upon their minds may hardly
think of itother than as of a wonderful
ly intense and realistic dream. The
empty sleeve, the missing leg, the bent
frame and broken health are eloquent
reminders of the stern fact, lis true,
but it is benevolence and a COM
pensation of nature that adversely and
pain and loss soften into counterfeits
of beauty and sweetness and love as
they recede further into the perspec-
tive of human experience.
Love of country is love of country
man; and we. who visit the graves of
the soldier dead do SO less to pay defer
ence to memory than to give pledge to
the future. 1t is respect to the living
that bids us revere the dead, that lofty
respect that arises from our recognition
Of man in Gods image as our brother,
and our knowledge of the truth that the
animating spirit is the heir to the
eternities.
Memorial day, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean, tends to restore the moral
and personal equilibrium disturbed
by the selfish activities of life. The
spirit of it is leveler, an eliminator OF
distinctions, creator of the close bond
OF affectionate sympathy that is under
stood by the word comrade. We all
become comrades under that influence
the veteran of hundred battles
and the youth who knows war in his
imagination alone; the man of wealth
and the victim of poverty; he who is
distinguished and he who is obscure;
he who fought and he who served in
other ways; comrades all for one day ID
the year, and the grind Of the world Is
a little the easier for 1t, and the music
of the spheres comes little nearer to
our hearing. Days Of peace and days
of love are these days of remembrance.
blessed be the days of remembering.

poets OF the Fench crop.
Triton. Ca. May 19.-The Triton and
Northeastern railroad was formally Op-
ened to-day by an excursion from Macon
and points in Florida on the line of the
Georgia, Southern and Florida, under the
personal management of C. A. Macdonald,
general passenger agent of the Georgia,
Southern and Florida. The first train
left Triton over the line of the Triton and
Northeastern at Z a m, with 200 aboard
the Macon train, arrived at Triton at II
a. M, and left promptly over the lines
of the Triton and Northeastern Tor Fltz-
gerald, carrying SEQ people, including the
militia companies The last train Tor
Fitzgerald left Triton at l p. m, carry
ing two well-hlled coaches.
Altogether the opening was grand sue
cess and contributes great credit to the
promoters of the Triton and Northeastern
railroad, as well as the managers Of the
excursion. This new line OF railroad
strengthens Triton as railroad center,
and will contribute largely to its trade.
1t also promises to be the best paying
short line in South Georgia. Capt. II. H.
Tiff, the owner and president of the line,
is daily adding to its equipment, and in
the near future it will be as~complete as
any line in the south.
The building boom has again started in
town and the indications are that several
substantial brick blocks, will be added to
the list before the summer has closed, to
say nothing of the numerous dwellings,
that are being started.
TiHon's peach crop is not the least
among the many advantages that Triton
can beast of at this season, and is decid-
edly on the boom. We will have a fair
half crop with superiority of fruit which
will assure satisfactory prices. Mr. Tiff
viii have a good full crop on his three
year old trees, which are totally free from
any insect pests. This handsome orchard,
which challenges comparison with any
other in the state, will have an average Of
three crates of prime marketable peaches
to the tree. Altogether the peach crop
promises more satisfactory returns than
last years immense crop. The weather is
dry and warm and the only thing our peo-
pie can ask for to crown out their happi-
ness is a few ccpious showers.

nitude have been consummated recently

Only Two More Appropriation Bills
Remain to BE Acted Upon.
Washington, May 19.-The Senate gave
its attention to-day to the district OF
Columbia appropriation bill, which. as re-
ported from the appropriations committee,
appropriated about $7,00O,00O of which one
half comes from the treasury of the Unit
ed States, and the other half from the
taxes collected by the district commission
ers.
A good deal of debate occurred over the
question of charities and hOspitals-the
House bill appropriating bulk sum TO
be distributed under contract, with the eN-
listing institutiOns-and the Senate com
mittee's amendment striking out that pro-
vision and substituting for il the usual
specific items for the various hospitals,
orphan asylums, and other charitable
houses. 1t was this proposition that was
sustained by the Senate by a vote of 80
to Is.
The only two general appropriation bills
remaining to be acted upon by the Senate
are the fertilization bill and the deficiency
bill.
A concurrent resolution was offered by
Mr.. Baker, dem, of Georgia, and referred,
authorizing the various executive depart
ments and the Smithsonian institute 10
permit the use of suitable materials, with
in their control by the Southern States
Exposition, to be held in Chicago from
August to November, 1S96-particularly
mining products of the south.

Columbia bill was, in detail, as follows:

In connection with the appropriations
for charities, an amendment was report
ed by the committee on appropria tons
and, was agreed to for the appointment
of a joint select committee of three sen
ators and three representatives to invest:-
gate the charities and reformatory insti-
tutions of the District of Columbia ariG
to report, among other things, whether
any of the government appropriations
made for them have been used to main
tain or aid any church or religious de-
nomination.
After a short executive session, the Sen
ate, at o'clock, adjourned until to-mor-
row
