Commissioner of Agriculture Nesbitt on
one side and Messrs. Blalock and
Swift. members of the legislative commit
tee that Investigated the workings Of the
Office of the commissioner of ag
riculture on the other side,
are doing what they can to interest the
people of the state in the quarrel in which
thew are engaged. A few weeks ago
Commissioner Nesbitt issued a circular
letter in which he pointed out the injustice
which the report of the Blalock committee
did him. To that letter Mr. Blalock re-
piled. quoting the leading features of the
report.
According to an Atlanta dispatch, pub
lished in the Morning News yesterday,
Commissioner Nesbtt published card in
Fridays Atlanta Journal, in which he took
the ground that Messrs. Blalock and
swift were prosecuting him, instead of
TRYING, as members of the legislature to
nut the truth respecting the management
of the office of the commissioner of agricul-
ture before the public. What they are
irving 10 do is, in Commissioner Nesbitt's
oninion. to have MIR. o. B. Stevens nomi-
mated for commissioner of agriculture:
Commissioner Nesbitt is a candidate for
denomination, and he feels that he de-
serves the honor, In his card he points
ont that the Bialock committee does not
do him Justice, because il does not give
the facts which would show that the
charges made against him are without
an
stance he points out that the public is
left under the impression that his man
agement of the office of commissioner of
agriculture has been an extravagant one,
when. as a matter of fact, he has reduced
the expenses of running the office fully
5000 a year, and has caused to be paid
into the state treasury. from the fees aris-
ing from the inspection of fertilizer, since
he has been in Office over 100000, and
from the inspection of OILS over 100000. Be-
fore he was commissioner of agriculture.
Mr. Nesbitt says, the state never received.
a cent from the fees for the inspection of
oils.
Mr.. Nesbitt calls attention to the charge
that he paid more for fertilizer tags than
was paid for tags in some other states. He
exnlains that he was advised by the print
ing committee of the legislature that the
state printer had the exclusive right to
furnish the tags and that when he found
ont mat the state printer had no such priv
nege he let the tag contract to the lowest
bidder. While 1t is true that he paid
more for tags than was paid in some 9TH
err states the quality of the tags called for
bv the laws of Georgia is much higher
than that of tags used in some other
states Therefore a higher price has 70
be paid for. them.
1t must be admitted that Commissioner
Nesbitt makes out strong case in his
own behalf 1t is only fair to him that
mis- defense of the charges made against
him should be given very careful and
thoughtful consideration. He has certain

From the Baltimore News.
Oh, the druml
There IS some
Intonation in thy grum
Monotony of utterance that strikes the
spirit dumb,
AS we hear
Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere
Thy rumbling palpitation roll in upon the
ear.
There's a part
OF the art
OF thy music-throbbing heart
That thrills something in US that awak-
ems with a start,
And, in rhyme
With the chime
And exactitude of time,
Goes marching on to glory to thy melody
sublime
And the guest
OF the breast
That thy rolling robs of rest
Is a patriotic spirit as a continental
dressed,
And he looms
From the glooms
OF century of totnbs,
And the blood he spilled at Lexington in
hVlng beauty blooms.
And his eyes
Wear the guise
OF nature pure and wise,
And the love OF them is lifted to a some
thing in the skies
That is bright
Red and white
: With a blur of starry light
AS IL laughs in silken ripples TO the breezes
day and night.
There are deep
Hushes creep
Ger the pulses as they leap.
And the murmur. fainter growing, on the
silence falls asleep.
While the prayer
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and air,
AS heritage to Freedoms sons and
daughters everywhere.
Then with sound.
As profound
As the thunderings resound.
Come thy wild reverberations in throe
that shakes the ground,
And a cry,
Flung on high
Like the flag it futters by.
Wings rapturously upwards till it nestles
in the sky.
Oh, the drum!
There is some
fntonation In thy grum
Monotony of utterance that strikes The
spirit dumb,
AS we hear
Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere
my rumbling palpitation roll in upon the
ear.

"VHV N " VI WHIT
From the Philadelphia Record Dem

{ The alleged offer of President Dole to
lend us the Hawaiian Islands for the uses
of our government during the war with
Spain is remarkable, if true. 1t does not
appear that the people of Hawaii have
been consulted in the matter. The PROPOSE
ton is practically such a declaration of
hostility to Spain as might have proved
embarrassing to the Hawaiian Republic
but for Commodore Dewey's suppression of
Spain as a naval Power in the waters of
the Pacific.

The Queen Regent.
From Louisville courier-Journal Dem.).

The Queen Regent, whose ambition has
made this state OF terror possible, is a
weak woman. with the disadvantage of be-
ing a foreigner and member of that roy
al house which has already cost Spain so
dearly In this emergency the future seems
dark indeed for her and the frail lad who
claims the divine right of rule. To preserve
his crown she has not hesitated to plunge
the nation into war for which there was
no preparation. and If Don Carlos should
attempt to seize the throne at this juno
ture small mercy might be shown her.

Especially wide nostrils are signs of
