A Question of Taes.

Questions relating to fertilizer tags may
cause Commissioner of Agriculture Mes
bitt annoyance in his efforts to get re-
nomination and election. The fact that the
Blalock committee had investigated the
affairs of the agricultural department and
made a report that was not highly COM
plimentary to the head of that department
was fast being forgotten, when il was
brought freshly to the public mind on
Wednesday last by a rather hot commu-
nication in the Atlanta Journal from Mr..
mittee.
What the report of the Blalock commit
tee was is known throughout the state.
because it was widely published and dis
cussed. 1t dealt largely In fertilizer tags,
and left the impression that Commissi On
er Nesbitt paid altogether too much for
tags.
1t seems that Commissioner Nesbitt gave
new life TO the tag question by saying, in
the letter in which he announced his pur-
pose TO be a candidate for denomination,
that persistent and malicious attacks"
had been made upon his administration
by designing politicians, and that the re-
port of the Blalock committee fell still
born in the Legislature. That sort OF talk
stirred up Mr.. Blalock. and naturally lie
wanted to know whether or not Mr.. Mes
bitt denied any of the statements contained
in the report. The fact that Mr.. Nesbitt
failed to give a satisfactory reply to this
inquiry led Mr.. Blalock TO forward his in
teresting and voluminous communication
TO newspaper, and now Mr.. Nesbitt is
bothered by this matter of tags again.
What effect ii will have upon his cam
paign cannot be predicted with any degree
of certainty. 1t can hardly help. however.

From the Lincoln Series.

A gentleman who resided in Nashville,
Tenn, a greater portion of the time dur
ing which the late war was raging tells
the following story of Lincoln:
"a miserly old fellow. by the name of
Worth, circulated petition in Nashville
early in 1864. / have forgotten Just what
was hoped TO be accomplished. but thai
makes little difference. The petition was
of such nature that it must go before
Mr. Lincoln and old Worth delegated
himself as committee of one to carry the
paper 10 Washington. After day or two
he was given an audience with the Pres
ident. The first name TO appear on the
document was johnson johnson, and as
he noted this fact Mr.. Lincoln gave a lit
tle laugh.
That remonds me-" said he. of a fell.
low whom used to know in Illinois. His
name was Patrick Patrick and they cali.
ed him Double Pat
WORMS pride was touched, and as
long as he lived no one could have per-
suaded him that Mr.. Lincoln had NOT
made joke at his expense"

- The exuberant patriotism of Don Carlos,
the Spanish pretender, is a fine sort of
Spanish campaign material He Will hold
aloof, he says. so long as the Spanish
government upholds the honor of the ma
ton; Otherwise ne will take such steps as
he may deem necessary. one of the first
steps to the end of upholding Spanish
honor, from the point of view of Don
Carlos, in all probability, would be TO get
the present King and his mother out Of tAe
country and take the throne himself.
Carlos opportunities are no doubt better
now than they have been for long time,
and he has the present trouble between
Spain and this country to thank for it.
Carlos would not mind a great deal if the
present government of Spain were humili-
ated, even to the extent of being forced to
give up Cuba.

The flow of gold into this country. even

half of the gold has come from Europe

The Cuban Junta's Interest.
From the Chicago Chronicle (Dem.).

The success of this effort means a great
deal to the junta. Upon the recognition
by thisr country nof Cuban Independence
rest the hopes and aspirations of Messrs.
Quesada. Palma, Reubens and the other
patriots who have been leading a Sardin-
apalian career in Washington and in New
York at the expense of the Key West
eigar-makers and other friends of Cuba.
Independence will mean high office and
fat emoluments for these gentlemen. Mere
Intervention would result, probably. in
their disappearance from the stage Of ac-
ton. 1t would certainly mean an abrupt
stoppage of salaries and the appalling
necessity of going to work. Hence the
eagerness displayed in the effort to prove
the eXistence-not to say the stability-ot
Abe insurgents civil government.

There is in Pennsylvania a political or
ganization called by its members the
Honest Government Party" and il has
selected the Rev. DR.. Swallow of Philadel-
phia as its candidate for Governor Mean

who is affectionately known among his
friends as Honest john is the candi-
date of another organization for the gov
ernorship. The name of DR.. Swallows
party, 1t is 10 be hoped, was not adopted
by way of establishing contrast with
MIR. Wanamaker's backing.

Neither the United States nor Spain sign
ed the treaty Of Paris which prohibits pri-
Watering; at the same time that does
not make it sure that there would be ex-
tensive privateering in the event of war.
Neither of the parties to the probable war
has an extensive merchant marine, and
should hostilities break out the flags of
each nation would quickly disappear from
the merchant vessels engaged in
foreign commerce England, Germany,
and the other powers would not suffer
their ships to be annoyed by privateers,
hence they would be apt to bring such
powers of persuasion to bear upon the
combatants as to make the letters of
marque very few and far between.

Since the surgeon general of the navy
announced the other day that he would
not take female nurses on the hospital
ships of the navy, even in the event of
war, a number of women in New York
have taken steps towards providing them
selves with a hospital ship of their own
ST they would be permitted to follow the
navy with a hospital ship provided and
manned at their own expense, and to
nurse the sick and wounded sailors. in
case Of hostilities. A reply has not yet
been sent TO them. 1t is little difficult
to see how the women could be denied the
privilege they ask. though their patriotic
enterprise would take unique shape

1t would be very wen for the people Of
The United States to keep a watchful eye
upon the patriots who are most insistent
upon immediate war. For many of these
persons immediate war would be a very
convenient shield against immediate diff
culties of their own which they may be
asked 20 settle with betrayed constituent

observed that patriotism is sometimes the

The people of Greater" New York seem

mites. for an extension of the Van Wyck

Following the conversion of DIR. Briggs
byterianism to the Protestant Episcopal
Church comes the report that the Rev.
DIR. Charles w. Shields of Princeton Uni
versity has also changed his faith and be-
come connected with the Episcopal
Church. The confirmation of DIR. Shields
was conducted by Bishop Potter of New
York some time ago. Do these CONVEX
sions indicate drift from Presbyterian
ism towards Episcopalanism?

the purpose of the Commissioner of Pub

Brunm,s Rad Manners.

Representative Brumm is old enough ana
has been in Congress long enough to have
better manners than those of which he
made an exhibition in the House on Wed
nesday. If the bound volume OF the Con-
gressional Record, which Representative
Bartlett hurled at him, had hit the mark
at which it was aimed, il would have
been demonstrated that that voluminous
and costly publication can be put to some
practical use, and Mr.. Brumm would have
been taught lesson he would not have
soon forgotten.
There ought 10 be more satisfactory
way than there is to punish member
of the House for applying insulting epi-
thets to another member on the floor of
the House Such a happening as that on
Wednesday is not only discreditable to the
House, but lessons the respect of the peo-
pie for that body. Mr. Brumm is to
| blame for the Wednesday incident. 1t was
hardly to be expected that Mr.. Bartlett
would not resent Mr. Brumm's language.
Mr. Brumm is about 60 years of age
and has spent the greater part of his
| life in the coal region of Pennsylvania.
In that locality doubtless, among the
rough mining population, he formed the
habit of insulting people who happen to
disagree with him in respect to any mat
ter. In the excitement on Wednesday he
| forgot probably that he was not where
he was at liberty to use such language as
| may be permissible in the coal mines. The
schooling he has received during the years
he has been in Congress serves him well
| enough on ordinary. occasions, but is not
sufficient to prevent him from showing his
real self when laboring under great ex-
element. If the bound copy of the Con-
gressional Record had hit him fairly it
would have made such an impression that
he would not soon again have offended
the dignity of the House.

Col. McLendon, who introduced Gen.

it well when he said: LAS long as human

of truth and honor and courage. This,
gentlemen, is Fitzhugh Lee of America"
That is right Fitzhugh Lee "of America

The efforts of the New York newspapers
TO get the two eX-Presidents to talk with

ion he replied; II do not care to talk

on such good common sense that they
