Submitted, with Approval.
From the Columbia Is. c. State.

Why can't the Georgia papers mention
member Of the legislature or a county Of
fetal without giving him the title Of
"Hon?" And after they have elevated him
to the hight Of Georgia grandeur by Civ
ing him that tremendous title, why do they
proceed to, pull him down to the level Of
the common herd by bob-tailing his Chris
tian name into a ridiculous dminutive?
Why do they invariably say ION yester-
day?" Why do they persistently declare at
looks like he was" or she was, or It was?
Why, why is Georgia journalism so con-
foundedly cracker?

The populist legislature of Kansas win
have before 1t bill TO make the Mexican
silver dollar legal tender for 100 cents
1t Is argued by the populists that, as the
constitution prohibits the states from
making anything except gold and silverp
legal tender. 1t is implied that the states
nave the right to make those metals legal
tender at their discretion; and the fed
eral government itself has more than once
made foreign coin legal tender. 1t seems
that the Kansas populsts are determined
10 exhaust every possibility for repudlat
ing haf Of their debts before giving up
the fight.

Valdosta mas just concluded a festival
running through week. 1t was an ambl-
tious undertaking for a town of the size
of Valdosta. But it was carried out sue
cessfully. The mana cement succeeded in
drawing large crowds of visitors every
day, and keeping them entertained all Of
the time. The week was one of profit to
the merchants and pleasure to the citizens
and the visitors. The harvest festival will
probably become a permanent institution
in Valdosta.

Popular Elections for Judges.
From the Macon Telegraph Dem.).

The experiment is an entirely new one in
this state, but its first results are so salts
factory that we expect the system to be
speedily extended. The compromise made in
the constitution of 1877 between the APP
pointment of judges by the governor and
their election by the people has not had
happy results. 1t would be well, we have
no doubt. to go back to one or the other
of these plans, and the second now seems
to be most in favor with the public.

So far. less than a dozen notices Of con-

national House Of Representatives. This
would indicate that the next congress
was going to be remarkably free from
contests for seats. When the current
congress assembled there were not less
than thirty contests to be considered.

1t was rather unkind of the finance COM
mittee Of the House of Representatives to
intimate that Representative Calvin of
Richmond is not an authority on the cost of
works of art 1t is Mr.. Calvin's opinion,
expressed in a letter to the Augusta Chron-
icle. that the relationship between silver
and paintings is precisely the same as the
alleged relationship between silver and
wheat, and silver and cotton. concerning
which we heard so much several months
ago but hear nothing whatever about now.
Mr.. Calvin says the value of paintings
has been cut exactly in half by the oper-
atoms of the iniquitous gold standard,
therefore very good oil portraits of dis
tinguished Georgians ought to be procured
now at $50 each IL they cost 500 each some
time ago. And really. when we consider the
large number of worSingmen still out Of
employment, and the cheapness of canvas.

quite large pictures might be secured al

Turner's Prohibition Bill.

At the state election in October the peo-
pie plainly said they did not want a pro-
hibition law, that they thought the best
way to deal with the liquor question was
by means of local option The majority in
favor of local option, after the merits of
local option and prohibition had been fairly
and fully presented, was large. In the
minds of most people the result of the
election was regarded as settling the IL
quor agitation for the present at least 1t
seems, however, that the prohibitionists
are not satisfied with the decision of the
people. They want the representatives of
the people to pass upon the question. If
the peoples representatives obey the in
struction given them at the ballot box they
will indefinitely postpone the consideration
Of Senator Turner's bill.
There is no use at this time arguing the
question of prohibition. All the arguments
for and against prohibition were fully pre-
scented during the state campaign. In fact
about the only issue OF that campaign was
whether or not each county should be per-
mitted to settle the liquor question for it,
self. Notwithstanding the fact that four
f1fths of the counties have adopted prohi-
bition, the decision was Overwhelmingly In
favor of leaving the matter in the control
of the counties.
We doubt that Mr.. Turner's bill would
accomplish the purpose its supporters
have in view There is only one way to
bring about genuine prohibition, and that
is by educating people against using in
toxlcants In states in which prohibitory
laws have been passed the evils which now
from intoxicants are about as great as in
states in which intoxicants are sold freely.
Indeed, In some respects the evils are of
a more deplorable character. If Mr.. Tur-
ners bill were to become a law. the con-
sumption of intoxicants within the state
would be about as great as It is now, while
the profits Of the liquor traffic would go
to people outside of the state. Instead of
saving the people 100000 year, as Sem
ator Turner says 1t would. his bill would
cost the state several millions of dollars
annually.
The sincerity of the prohibitionists is ad-
mitted, but there is no doubt that the leg
islation they insist upon is unwise.

waved these above their heads.
By the time the procession reached Ninth

The shouting and cheering became terrific
and muffled completely the music OF the

BIDDING ONES GUESTS.
Correct Manner of Issuing and Re

instead OF a glazed surface as formerly.
The script is about the same size as it was
last year, triile smaller il anything, and
tie words and lines are brought rather nearer
together, SO that the invitation compactly
occupies the center OF the sheet. with wide
margins about it, giving a simple, even
artistic effect somewhat after the manner Of
anetching. sOmevery smart peopleevenuse
what is termed the paragraph form, in
which the wording runs straight along in
stead Of being arranged in lines of varying
lengths, and the result is very good.
The wording OF wedding invitation is
quite an important matter, which does not
always receive the attentonit should For
church wedding the parents of the bride

as, for home wedding the pleasure OF your

obvious. Moreover, for a home wedding,
the name of the guest is often inserted. for
instance: Mr. and Mrs VerrindSr Jones

personal invitation, it is. or course, more
of a compliment to the guest. at one very
