leaders say that it was the most effective

great deal, because young Jennctte, of this

Cattle Raising in Geo Sia,

Che Constitution has had occasion
heretofore to refer to the possibility for
cattle raising in this state.
A few months ago when it was an
nounced throughout the country that
80 600 head OF cattle had been exported
from Georgia within a year preceding, it
was nowhere received With more sur
prise than at home. OWing to our want
of animal statistics. and to the fact that
there has been no combined effort to
foster the meat raising industry, there
has been DO idea as 30 The number OF
cattle which were in the state, and it
was reserved for a live western firm to
send its agent through the country and
discover that thousands of cattle We're
to be found in every section,
One of the results Of the late war viii
he to widen the trade possibilities of
the United States, and in this eXpan-
sion Georgia should play no mean part.
Cuba and the other West india islands
do not raise their meat supplies and il
is admitted that iced meats cannot be III
troduced into these countries; hence
arises the necessity Of importing cattle
on foot so that the beeves might be
killed upon the spot. In connection
with his fact, Messrs. Miguel Nadal and
Leopold ROca, of Havana, are now ship
ping fine Venezuelan cattle from Puer-
to CabellO to points in Cuba. 70 show
the extent Of these shipments, there were
received during the month Of October at
Santiago de Cuba 750 head OF cattle, at
Manzanillo 300 head and at Havana 333
head. These shipments axe 10 be fol
lowed by 10000 head of cattle purchased
in the states of Bermudas and Cara
bobO, Venezuela
There exists no reason in tie world
why the continent to the south Of Cuba
should furnish all the meat cattle, when
Georgia, Florida and Alabama are 50

these ports and those who are seeking
an escape from the Affection culture
could engage in 10 better business than

ing in general, to supply the wants Of
the West Indian countries which are
now open to us.

course of republican teaching? why.
as soon as the negro, by combining
with the lowest element OF the white
race, manages to secure control IN
town or a county, he remembers that
the republicans have taught him to re-
gard his white southern neighbofs as
his enemies, and he Immediately puts in
operation system of persecution meas
ured only by the extent of the power he
exercises: and when this is carried so
far that it becomes uncomfortable, and the
whites conclude TO put an end to state
OF things so intolerable, Immediately
cry arises from those at the north who,
in the nature of things, cannot have
any right or fair conception Of the con
ditiOns which have brought about the
inevitable result
But suppose some element alien to the
blood of New England, by means OF
clannishness and combination with
hoodIums, were to get control or

the outcome? Why the power OF that
element would be destroyed if every man
composing it had to be put to the sword,
and outsiders might cry race preJu-

Making Cane Snup.

The making of cane s,rup as an ar
ticle of commerce is the latest crusade
upon which Hon. Henry Mcintosh has
entered.
In a late issue of The Albany Herald
he draws attention to the fact that the
farmers of southwest Georgia are vast
ing annually half the yaluc OF one OF
their most reliable and valuable prod
ucts The adoption o. Il method that
would stop the waste and make the
product a valuable one would be one of
the greatest measures of reform which
could be made in that section. As an
illustration, The Herald says that in
some sections the farmers are getting
but little for their sirup, only IS cents
per gallon, all Of which leads to this
declaration:
When cane sirup brinss only IS cents a
gallon, or even 70 cents gallon, in the
market something is bound to be wrong.
The times must either be badly out Of
Joint Or else the strip must be a very
poor article. There is no more profit in
making surip at Ia cents per gallon. we
imagine than there is in making cotton at
from 4 to cents per pound
But we know farmer not many miles
from Albany who gets from 40 cents to 50
cents for his srup even in these times Of
low prices. a1d il is worth it, every cent of
it, But one gallon of that farmers srup
is worth i barrel Of the thin dark, Watery
stuff that the majority of farmers in Gcor-
gia make for sirup His sirup is thick
and clear as honey and will keep through
winter and summer, while the thin watery
article that so many farmers make will
ferment and sour as soon as the first
warm breath of spring strikes It. The con
SINNER who gets some of the good strip
will want more of it at 10 cents, or even 80
cents Il gallon while the one who gets the
other stuff Will want no more at any price.
And thus the farmer who is careless about
making his sirup-and we regret to have to
say that he is in the majority-ruins the
reputation of Georgia country strip.
The Herald vouches that when prop
erly made south Georgia sirup is some
thing delightful TO the palate, sweet

on it's various phases, but we have never
regarded it in the light OF mere politl-
cal issue. 1t is very interesting ques-
ton in some OF its bearings. but it is not
important enough to obscure the real is
sue of the hour.
Even if the real leaders of the demo-
cratic party desired to make it an is
sue (Which they do noD they will
hardly have an opportunity to do SO
unless they desire to present their party
to the public gaze as Offering ObStruc-
ton to the peace negotiations at very
critical moment. For instance, it is
well understood that the treaty of peace
is q matter Of only few days. All the
features Of the protocol have been ac-
cepted by Spain, after which the draft
ing of the treaty is a mere formaiity
which will not be delayed. Then this
treaty, by means of which the Philip
pines become a part of our possessions,
will be laid before the senate, and that
body will discuss it and vote upon it,
Now, some of the democratic senators
are in favor OF acquiring the Philip
pines, and some are opposed TO it. Some
of the republican senators favor it. and
some oppose it. But what will be the
upshot of it all? viii senators under
take TO reject a treaty OF peace on the
ground that they are personally opposed
TO expansion? 1t is difficult to imagine
such a possibility. On the other hand,
it is easy TO imagine democratic oppo-
nents OF expansion as saying to them
selves that they will not so SO far as
to endanger q treaty OF peace by oppOs-
ing it. but will cast the whole respon-
sibility of the Philippine business on the
republican administration where, for
good or bad. it properly belongs.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
the furious efforts Of the gold democrat
ic newspapers to make a party issue
out OF the Philippine question are both
curious and suspicious. They are espC-
cially suspicious in view of the fact taat
these worthy editors desire nothing so
much AS to see the financial issue set
aside so far as the democrats are con-
cerned. They are heartily i'll favor of
the republican programme to further
fasten the gold standard on the people,
but they are not in a position to act
openly with that party. They would
rather, if they could take the democrat
ic party away from the real and vital
issues OF the hour and of the time and
make it a party of mere opposition and
obstruction, with no constructive policy
at all
We advise democrats to steer clear OF
this shallow sand storm which the gold
democrats are promoting.

that the canal was only being dug at

pie of the latter city are appealing TO
congress to stop the work. They have
secured expert medical testimony that
the canal, from the time it leaves Chl-
CagO until it enters the river. Will be q
source of disease, and that the waters OF
the Illinois down to the Mississippi, even
as far as New Orleans. will be so polS-
oned as to be unfit for human use. The

IF Will Be n Peace Jubilee.

After all Atlanta's Jubilee Will be
the real celebration OF peace between
this country and. all the world!
When Chicago and Philadelphia en-
tered upon the celebration Of Il restOr-
alton OF peace, they had to take great
deal for granted. Amid all of the elo-
quence born Of good Wine which was

In the nick of time Atlanta's good for

ism commissioners have acceded 70
every demand and nothing now remains
but the drafting of the treaty Of peace,
and even that will be concluded before

A Family Row.

1t now appears that there is serious
division among the republican states
men on the question of expansion. Inc
movement against it in New England IL
both bitter and furious. There IS an
"anti-imperial society,"" and it's agents
friends and organs make it point 10
hit an expansionist head wherever one
appears. A petition has been addressed
to the president opposing the expansion
policy, and there is a tremendous t"it-
teriug about it in the newspapers. YOU
would think from reading such news
papers as The Boston Transcript ana
The Springfield Republican, that follow
ing the success OF expansion the repl'D-
lie would collapse and disappear with
all its sins on its shoulders.
On the other hand, there are many re-
publican statesmen ana newspapers VINO
are widely in favor of the policy OF eX-
pansion. They go about asking every
body they meet, would you throw
away the fruits Of Victory?"
1t is stated that, as a sort of cOmpfo-
mise, Mr.. Hanna has stated that 1t
would be we'll to put a duty on tea; but
his friends nave taken him aside and in
formed him that there is already duty
on tea. Consequently there must be
found some other basis Of compromise
We respectfully suggest the tariff on COZ
ton goods. On that line the Dingley
law has been a far failure and the fact
is liable to open the eyes OF manufac-
turers as well as those Of the working
classes. 1t was said during the last
campaign that the beauties of protection

way:
To-wit, A duty on foreign products
would increase the price OF ours; this in
creased price would give prosperity
to the working men; and this pros
pprftv would give our farmers
wider markets. This seemed to be so
clear that a minority OF the white and a
majority of the negro voters rallied
around the 9. o. D. and elected it's candt~
dates. Then came the celebrated Ding
lev bill in due course. Manufacturers
were allowed to fix their own schedules
of duties, and they did 50 without show

it should have been demonstrated The

FIGHTING a Canal.

There is now gOinS on strong con-
test between st. Louis and Chicago in
which the latter city has at present the
best Of it. bat in which the former is
likely to take the lead before lOng:
Several years ago the bright and
breezy men who shape the affairs OF
Chicago got up the idea Of drainage
canal to tap the Illinois river 1t seems
that there was objection to the sewage
of the city entering into the lake, and
that it was conceded that the best way
10 get rid OF this waste was through o
drainage canal, which would empty it
INTO the Illinois. thence finding its way
INTO the Mississippi at St Louis, and
thence reaching the gulf. The Chicago
men however, did not put the case
bldntIy. but described it in such fancy
form that it caught the. approval of the
people of St Louis, which was necessary
before The project could be fully carried
out. Thus was launched in the press
OF the Windy City the great scheme Of
digging canal to the Illinois through
which the waters of the lake would add
their volume creating an immense
waterway, so that the American navy
