The Georgia Legislature has admin
istered a temperate and merited re-
buke to President Mckinley over the
Hogansville incident. The language
of the resolutions adopted is neither
severe nor extravagant.
1.-The President of the United States
has seen proper to appoint to the office
of Postmaster a man whose appoint
ment was opposed by 80 per cent of
the property owners and responsible
citizens of the community" declare
the members of the Georgia Legisla-
ture. s'Resolved," the document says
in conclusion, ''that we appeal to i'm
partial public opinion to enter its pow
erful protest against Presidential ap-
pointments to office for the manifest
purpose OF affronting and humiliating
a community of American citizens for
no other reason than difference in
party affiliation."

country will uphold this claim and
reasonable protest there can can be no
doubt. Southern people are, of course,
averse to negroes in responsible Feder-
al offices. Their opposition is based
on the same ground that exists in Bos-
ton, where recently a tremendous scan
dal was created when it was discovered
that by a peculiar accident q colored
man had been elected to an Office for
which he was nominated by Republi-
cans, who had no thought that he
would be successful at the polls. When
it was discovered that he had trium-
phed. all the forces of the party ma
chinery were set to work to keep him
out of the Office.
But the Southerners accept without
violent protest the appointment to Fed

eral Office of negroes whose characters
are not wholly bad. In the case of
McKinley's Postmaster at Hogansville
the bad character was known. The
President was beseeched before issu-
ing the commission to this negro TO
select some other member of the col
ored race whose record was not so bad,
if he were determined that the Office
should go to none but q colored Repub-
lican. To this Major Mckinley paid
no heed. The result was that nearly
all the patrons of the Post Office, at
great inconvenience to themselves, had
their mail transferred to another office.
and some of the more hot-headed made
an assault upon the Postmaster.
II President Mckinley wants TO ac-
cord recognition to the negroes be-
cause of their loyalty to the Republi-
can party, 1t can be asked in all fair
ness: Why does he not go into close
States like Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
where the negro vote turns the scale
to his party. aud give post offices there
to black politicians? The President
will not do this because he knows that
it would be taken as manifest pur-
pose to affront and humiliate a COM
munity of American citizens for no
other reason than difference in party
affiliation. st. Louis Repu6lic.

Report Of IrOnton Public schools.

1t will be seen from the report for
this month that the number of cases of
tardiness have greatly diminished, vet
it is alarmingly large. So large that
all thoughtful persons will be grieved
thereby. The attendance should be
very much improved also. What do
these two facts indicateP For every
case of tardiness the work of school,
room has been interrupted. For every
case of absence (almosO some of the
teachers time has been taken from
pupils who have not been absent, Ia
order to help the absentee regain what
he has lost. aud the uniform and rapid
progress of the class has been checked.
Worse than this, 1t indicates that for
every case of unnecessary absence or
tardiness some parent has failed TO
realize the vital Importance OF the
work OF the schools, and that be or she
has no right to injure his or her own
child by permitting this, nor to take
the time of other peoples children un-
necessarily. Let such a public senti-
ment exist among the parents that no
child will be absent or tardy unless it
be an absolute necessity, or that 1t will
be extremely inconvenient To prevent
it, and MUCH will be done toward in
creasing the efficiency of our schools
and removing unnecessary friction.

The Reciprocity fraud.

The Manufacturer, Philadelphia
journal which apparently believes that
the government, religion and bodily
welfare of the American people are all
Subordinate to the subsidization of a
comparatively small number of rich
manufacturers, has lately been per-
picking itself with the query why our
exports of manufactures to South and
Central America have been falling off
instead of increasing. 1t is driven to
the conclusion that s'we are ourselves
to blame for the result" and it can see
no remedy but improving transporta-
ton, developing more scientifically and
extending reciprocity.
The real reason for our failure to
hold our own in South America is plain
ly recognizable to everybody but hide
bound protectionists. 1t is that for
eign manufacturers take care to send
more desirable goods to South America
and sell them more reasonably.
The fact is that our protective sys-
tenn is really barrier to our advance
ment as manufacturing nation. In
the first place, it raises the real cost
of manufacturing by making raw ma
terials more expensive. Yet even with
this handicap natural advantages and
the unrivaled productiveness of our la
Dor, which is really the cheapest in the
world, would enable our manufactur-
ers to undersell their competitors all
over the globe if they would.
Protection, however, raises prices
standard. which results, if carried
abroad, in disasters. At the same
time it amasses such profits for the
favored manufacturers that they do not
care to look to foreign markets.
Some few of our manufacturers do
look abroad. They find they can sell
advantageously to foreigners at prices
far below those they charge our own
people. They undersell in Japan and
Russia and other distant places the
very competitors against whom they
are so highly protected" at home.
The other manufacturers are apparent
ly too indolent or contented to do the
same thing.
As for reciprocity" as remedy,
what have we to reciprocate with South
American nations? Can we let their
sugar In free, when the Sugar Trust
owns Hawaii and wants the monopoly
of free importation of sugarP Have
the South American nations any man
ufacturers which we can admit free in
return for similar favors to our own?
All that we can do is to admit their
grain and meats free. That is, we can
still further sacrifice our farmers to the
greed of the protected" manufacture
ers. Republicans call this reciprocity.
We call it infamous humbuggery.
There is only one kind OF reciprocity
for America, and that is the sort that
would remove European restrictions
upon our grain and stock in return for
similar treatment here of clothing and
implemeuts.-R G.. Times.

to the promenade of the amphithe-

1t was packed pull with all the good
things that the kind hostess could
think of to satisfy the hungry stomach.
As we sat and ate the good things our
eyes were kept busy watching the fell
lows that were doing the grand trapeze
acts. There were five persons dressed
in tights of crimson going through all
the different traits of agility. Such as
hanging head down, holding on the
trapeze BY the feet, turning the old
cat, balancing on a bar and lots of
other things that l can't describe.

ercises. l think there are other ways
to show ones agility without so much
danger to life and limb. Then they
went up on the tall mast that was sew
enty-fiye feet high and jumped and
turned somersaults and dived into
great tank of water. My friend said,
''well all the fools amt dead yet" |
thought as much.
In the arena were a good number of
ponies. In single harness and in
double harness, and one team of little
beauties driven tandem, hitched to a
buggy driven by little boy and girl.
1t was the prettiest team and best
trained on the ground and that team
took the blue ribbon. l thought the
boy and girl should have had a blue
ribbon for good driving. [ saw some
of the finest horses in the ring that l
have seen for a good many years, and
the best drivers. 1t was far ahead OF
last year. l saw one bay horse that
filled my eye. did not see that he
was much faster than some others, but
he moved so smooth and reached out
his legs as though it was fun. He
trotted so smoothly one could have
read book if he had been riding that
horse. He moved so easy. l saw a
roam that got oyer the ground fast, but
it looked as if it was hard work. He
shook all over. A man riding him
would have been shaken to pieces. l
did not like his motion at all. He had
too much motion. l have seen some
folks that when they went to do some
thing seemed TO make hard work of it,
when to other persons it seemed to be
no trouble at all. Well, we are not all
made alike, and perhaps it is well we
are not. T. P. r.

Poisonous Presentation

Paris Letter to British Medical Journal.
The question of the toxic qualities of
perspiration, though not quite a new one
unasmuch as NJ. Berthelot at recent
meeting of the Paris Medical Academy re-
minded his listeners that, If Africanus can
be believed, the perspiratlon gathered
from horse was used in ancient times
to render arrows poisonous), has recently
formed the subject of research. Several
experiments have proved that human per-
spiratlon is toxic. A series of guinea pigs
and rabbits were killed by NEGOTIATIONS of
perspiration gathered from a flannel shirt
worn by a healthy young man after dane
ing cotilon. glove worn by a lady
who danced vigorously through a ball was
utilized for NEGOTIATIONS with equally dead
ly results. NJ. Arloing's more recent ex-
periments show that perspiration resulting
from muscular exertion is more toxic
than that consequent from a vapor bath.
