The Journal as a Pronhet.

The Marietta Journal was the first
newspaper in Georgia, and if it was not
the first in the United States, (Which it
not improbably was) it was one of the
very first to foretell the result of the
war with Spain and to outline the posi-
ton the democratic party would take
upon questions growing out of the war
and upon other party problems. The
Journal declared that the annexation
to this country Of the territory wrested
from Spain would prove disastrous to
the republic, that the people OF the
territory annexed would rebel, that to
hold them in subsection would require
vast armies upon the scene, thet the
wars with them would be enormously
costly both as to lives and money, that
the climate of these islands would prove
pestilential to our troops. that the
Democratic party should make anti
imperialism it's paramount issue, that
free silver should be ignored and that
w. ]. Bryan making these his issues
would probably be nominated and cleo
ted president of the United States.
There are back numbers of the Jour
nal on file which show that it made all
these declarations before, and prior to
the close OF, the war with Spain, every
one of which predictions, except the
last, has been literally fulfilled, and, it
is believed, next November will see
that an accomplished fact.

Words Cost Nothing.

One of the most conspicuous signs of
the mercenary tendency of the times,
with all the low and underbred incl
dents springing therefrom, is that want
OF courtesy between man and man in
their dealings with each other, which
marks such a contrast between present
and past conditions. 1t is now seriously
proposed to dispense with the solutation
ana formal words of respect in the SUBJ
stitution, in letters of business nature.
such as Dear sir, ""Very respectfully"
encouraging writer's to blurt out what
they desire in ne few words as possible
without wasting time and space in po-
likeness. Business usage has already
decreed that the addresses of letters, if
they contain the names of men, shall
be without titles of respect as Mr.,
Esquire " etc
That courteous conduct in all mat
tiers, between men of the old regime in
their communications with each other,
was most delightful feature of life in
the olden time, and it would be great
pity should these old customs fall en-
tirely into disuse. We are getting too
prosaic and inconsiderate of the feel
ings of others, absorbed as he is in his
own affairs one does now consider it
necessary to exchange pleasant greet
ing with the friend or acquaintance
that he passes on the street, most peo-
pie believing that they have done their
duty when they have nodded slightly
or grunted in response to a salutation.
1t is also common now to address
letters to a person by his nickname and
to misspell his surname This is very
disrespectful to the person so addressed.
Mechanics on the outside of letter
are in bad form even though the parties
be intimate friends. Unless the par
ties are very intimate nicknames should
not be applied to grown persons even
in conversation.

Fashionable Summer Resorts.

Much of the summer recreation in
which people engage, especially when
away from home, may be hurtful to the
religious life. The tendency to throw
off restraints, the danger of Sabbath
desecration and the influence of evil
example have all to be guarded against.
THIS is especially true at large, fashion,
able summer resorts. From these, we
greatly fear, many an earnest heart re-
turns home chilled in the religious life
of the soul. Itwould be far better to
avoid these than to run such risks. A
quiet place where rest and change of
scene can be had is far better Chris

BEFORE THEY FOUGHT.
Placed on File in Texas Law Case.

One of the most remarkable docu- ments that have ever been under our observation, says Law Notes, is to be found in the case of ex-parte Scoggin Tex APP, 546. MT. Scoggin was un- der indictment for the murder of one William Gerard, and an extract from a memorandum book in defendant j handwriting and found near the body ran as follows: .....
 Johnson Co.,, Tx, Jan. the 24, 1875

On the cold, cloudy morning of De. cember IL, 1877, when snow lay thick ly on all the country s sudden great booming of guns.was heard, and the news flew swiftly that Osman had come out of Plevna at last and was trying to break through the cordon his foes had spread about him, says stephen Crane, in the New Lippin- colt During the night he mad aban, doned all his defenses, and by day break he had taken the greater part of his army across the river Vid, Ad, yancing along che Sophia road, he charged the Russian intrenchmenta with such energy that the Siberian regiment stationed al that point was almost annihilated.

A BROADWAY CHAIN GANG.
The Careful Transfer of New York Banks Millions Morning
 and Evening.

Eight men, apparently chained to. gether by the wrists, walking in single file, each carrying a strong metal box or heavy valise, with policeman at each end of the line and several de- tectives in plain clothes walking on either side, make three trips back and forth across Broadway, at Cedar street, every morning and again every evening exciting much attention, says the New York Times A
 On closer inspection it is seen that il is the strong boxes that are securely chained together by the handles and not the men, who are merely porters carrying the cash and securities of the American Exchange national bank from the vaults of the Mercantile Safe Deposit company, in the basement of the Equitable building, to the tenn porary offices of the bank just across the street. at 1l5 Broadway. Again after banking hours there is another transfer of the institutions "stock in trade" back to its place of safe keeping in the strong vaults.
 Millions in specie, currency, paper and securities are thus carried to and fro each day, while the new building on the northeast corner of Broadway and Cedar street is being erected for the housing of the American Exchange national bank.

GUNS PLACED ON SKATES.
t0 WlDtry Climate Used by the Canadian Artillery.

It is proverbial that necessity is the mother of invention, and certain it is that our Canadian cousins are not wanting in the latter capacity. In no direction is this fact more strongly in evidence than in their method of mounting their field batteries for win ter use, says the London Mail.
 During the winter months, when the whole country is frequently covered to the depth of several feet with a bed of treacherous snow, it is, of course, impossible to move wheeled artillery and ammunition wagons. As however, intending invaders are by no means given to confining their efforts to summer campaigns, it became nec- cssary to devise some means of get ting over the difficulty Happily, Can ada had in the person of Artillery Maj R. w. Rutherford a soldier of no little resource.
 By most ingenious design he has made it possible to mount the guns gun-limbers, wagons and wagon-lim bers upon species of "bobsleigh, the whole arrangement being joined up by traces in the ordinary way bv an operation occupying at the outside under five minutes.
 The change from summer to winter guise can thus be made immediately a fall of snow has rendered the roads impossible for wheeled traffic, while the advantage in superior mobility over an unprepared enemy would be enormous, as the practically noiSeless motion of the sleighs would bring the guns we'll into range without betray- ing the slightest hint of their ap- proach.

As stated by a writer in the Re publican, Arizona Legislatures may for several years have been disgraceful. Granting this for the sake of argument, there is all the more necessity for effort in the di- rection of reform, and the coming election will give the people the pportunity to effect change in the morality of the legislature, if such a change be necessary. A leading man here stated lately that the honest member could not be distinguished from the dishonest, as to vote according to ones honest conviction placed the virtuous man side by side with the gentleman who had sold his vote, and no one could tell the difference between the two. and probably the honest man would be considered as having brought the highest price. This is of course not to be believed for a moment. and the way to secure a pure legislature is to select candi- dates of known integrity, and elect them accordingly.

GOVERNOR MURPHY, while. in Tomb stone, referred to the fact that from Texas and influential eastern parties came the influence that is bearing on the Halderman case. It is another in- eentive for us to strive for that state hood to which we are entitled when we see that the judicial authority of the territory is held in contempt and the pronounced judgment of that authority may be set aside in manner suggest i've of the undue use of political power.

THE subscription list for the Gal weston relief fund is out in this town. There is no question as to the duty in- cumbent upon our citizens everywhere to help in relieving the necessities of our unfortunate fellow countrymen. Galveston will be rebuilt, but the dark memory of the disaster will darken her homes for long time to come. It is to be hoped that the plan upon which the reconstruction of the city will be ef- fectsd will be safer and afford pro- tection against the possible occurrence of a similar catastrophe.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.

The sad intelligence has been re-
ceived that David Henry Witt, son of
DR.. W. E. Witt, CT our town, had met
with very serious and painful acct
dent while at his post Of duty in the
employ Of the Newport News Dry
Dock Company. In coming down
from the upper deck of steamship,
he stepped upon plank lying across
two be ms, and as he let go, the plank
tilted and he fell the distance of 45
feet through to the boiler room. In
falling he struck a ladder, which
checked the fall, otherwise he would
have been instantly killed, He is
very badly cut about the head and
boJy, and it is thought internally hurt.
His brother was with him when the
accident occurred. His father is at
his bedside, and will remain until his
son is able to be brought home.
