A SNAKE DEAL.

Mayor Price of Macon has not yet heard the last of his snake deal. Some time ago he wanted rain. He advertised for snakes, secured several at a cost of $S 55, hung one or more dead ones in a persimmon tree, and got his rain. He thinks, there fore, that the deal is complete and that he is not under any sort of obligation to anybody, and really 1t looks that way to nished the Mayor with the particular snake which it is alleged brought the rain thinks otherwise. He is trying to pose as a public benefactOr, and thinks that in recognition of his services the Mayor should furnish him with an office. He has the merit of being easily satisfied, content to drive city cart, if a softer berth cannot be found for him. Since the Mayor himself would be entitled to the office of Municipal Rainmaker, should the city of Macon see fit to create such an of

CANDIDATE MAGUlRE.

THE marked characteristic of Judge Mcguire has
 been the evanescent quality of his political con
 victions. He has keen eye for popular preJu- dices and follows them with the energy ot devotee so long they lead toward office. This accounts for his advocacy of so many antagonisuc things lie must be credited, however. with steadtast devotion to the single True, he lays 1t down or puts It behind his back when necessary to get an olce, but he always goes ondly back to 1t, as little girl does to her rag doll. By making himself the candidate ot three political parties he has secured ample scope tor the contents of his grab bag of political beliefs, and is able to appeal to the whole group Of popula preJu dices
 Of principles he has no thoughtful conception. A creature of impulse, yet his impulses are safely btted and controlled by his constant itch for oftlce which torments like an eczema.

THE LYcEUMs sYNDIcATED.

It seems that in the South the syndicate idea has found it's way into the lyceums which engage lecturers. At present the lyceums are working independently, and the result is that those which have not much capital have to put up with an in- ferior order of lecturers. The Augusta Chronicle says: "As we understand it, the total cost of maintaining an organiza- tions for all the lyceums (now about twenty in number) will not exceed $2500 per year. The. total sum expended for lecture courses by these lyceums last year was in the neighborhOod of $25 900. It is safe to say that about 9 per cent of this sum could have been saved last year had cooperation been effective among the lyceums. Every lyceum will grow, and in few years will probably be expending in the neighborhood of $2G00 each, which is now the appropriation of Augusta" The lecturers will undoubtedly profit by the arrangement. The noYelists have cer- tainly made money out of the application of the syndicate system to the sale of their stories. The lecturer will, of course. not obtain such large prices for his work as he gets now, but he will have many more engagements, and the labor of travel will be reduced by the establishment of connected routes. The only remarkable thing about the scheme is that it was not thought of before.-New York Times.

THE IRISH AIR.

ITH the opening of the Irish fair this evening \AI there will be begun for our people and tor vls- tors to the city series of entertainments of more than ordinary beauty brilliancy and pleasure No people better understand the of enjoying lite than the Irish more genial with friends or more hospitabe to strangers that with friendly purposes It therefore well assured that all who attend the fair will receive cordial welcome and ind themselves in joyous company.
 The object of the fair IS to raise money tor fund designed for the construction of stately ed1hce to be used as a common home for the various Irish so- ceties of the city and be known Celtic Hall It is therefore one which appeals not only to persons ot Irish birth ancestry, but to all citizens who have sufficient civic pride feel interest in its archl- tectura establishment and the promotion of its social organizations,
 The United States as a nation and every State and city in her wide domain much to the Irish race Nine of that were among the signers ot the Declaration of Independence, and from that time to the present day Irshmen have been conspicuous n every field of American endeavor, whether in peace or war They have been important factors in every advance made in our industrial development, and wherever under battle flag the fortune ot war has demanded sacrifice granted triumph they have been conspicuous for courage and patriotism
 It particularly pertinent recall that the salient characteristics of the Irish is that of generosity. Every movement of public nature un- dertaken in the United States has been iberally aided by the Irish residents of the community where was carried forward They have contributed freely to the enterprises of other social and benevolent organza tons and it is but just they should receive the re- ward of their friendly hepfulness.
 Reciprocity is always commendable and in this in stance those who the past favors received from their Irish friends, by giving liberal patronage to the fair will find reward only in the satisfaction of aiding good cause, but in the delight of doing so under circumstances of social enjoyment perfected by every accessory of music mirth and beauty.

SECRETARIES OF THE NAVY.

New England has furnished the Secre- tary of the Navy in each of the three wars in which the American navy has borne @ conspicuous part. Benjamin W. Crownin- hield was Secretary during the war of 1872. Gideon Welles of Connecticut was the official head of the department through the rebellion. John D. Long of Massachusetts will go down to history as the man under whose administration the American Navy saw it's most glorious days Massachusetts has a right 10 be proud of the man whom she has given to the war Cabinet. for, without disspar- agement to any other, Secretary Long may be rightfully called the most efficient in his place of any of the Presidents of

Until war came Secretary Long prayed that it might he ayerted.
