H,Sp-Book OF GEORGIA.

The Agricultural Department Of the
| State of Georgia is engaged in the prepa-
ration of a work that will prove of great
benefit to the state. For the past two
years or more there has been a quiet agi-
tation by progressive Georgians in favor
! OF the publication under official auspices
/ of a handbook which should give ex-
/ haustive and reliable data respecting the
! developed and undeveloped resources of
| Georgia, to be circulated among home
seekers and others desiring information
with a view to becoming citizens or in
| vestors among us. The Legisla ture. at
its recent session, authorized the compi-
lation and publication of the handbook
by the Department of Agriculture, which
work is now going forward under the
supervision OF Commissioner Stevens and
Assistant Commissioner Wright
It is proposed by the compiers that the
book shall give complete and up-to-
date account of Georgia and its recources,
including brief sketches of its counties,
towns, cities, scenery and places Of re-
sort, as well as reliable facts with respect
90 agriculture. dairying, stock raising,
horticulture, game and fish. forests, min
erals, water powers, navigable streams,
transportation, manufactures, religions.
education, and other matters.
Commissioner Stevens has prepared
folder of thirty-four leading questions I'M
der the various heads, which he is send
ing TO prominent citizens in each of the
counties with the request that they fill
out the blanks as accurately as may be
possible and return to him, thus aiding
the good work. The questions and their
subdivisions cover very wide scope,
and the answers 10 them ought to put
inquirers into possession of pretty nearly
the facts that they want
1t is to be hoped that Commissioner
Stevens folder-circulars will receive the
prompt and careful attention Of those to
whom they have been addressed. If the
addresses have not Immediately at hand
the information asked for, they ought to
put themselves to the trouble of getting
it from the best authority available and
including il in their reports. This work,
IL should be borne in mind, Is for the
benefit of no person or section especially,
but of the whole state. Its purpose is
to induce desirable immigration and the
investment of capital. These things will
inevitably be 10 the interest of every
Georgian. since as the state grows in pop
ulation and wealth, the tax rate can be

TIE GERMAN VOTE.

There has been, and viii continue to be
a great deal of speculation respecting the
German vote in connection with the pres
identiaI election. It is very important
vote in the Middle West WIN it be cast
for the Republican ticket as heretofore, or
/ win the greater part of it go to the DEM
ocrauc ticket. on account Of the antrim
| perialistic policy of the Democratic party?
| That is a question that cannot now be an
swered.
1t is well understood that the Germans
favor the gold standard. That is the chief
reason why the great majority Of them
act with the Republican party. Mayor
Rose of Milwaukee was TO have been tenn
temporary chairman of the Kansas City
convention. but it is suspected that he was
dropped at the eleventh hour because he
was against a specific declaration for sill
yer in the platform He was chairman Of
the Wisconsin delegation. and when
member of the Platform Committee from
that delega tion was about to- be chosen
he declared that declaration in the plat
form for the l6 to / ratio would deprive
the Democrats of Wisconsin of any chance
to carry that state.
Wisconsin has a very large German vote.
II would seem from this that Mayor Rose
IS far from certain that the Germans of
the West will abandon the Republican
party on account of the imperalistic pol
icy OF that party now that the Democratic
party has made an out and out declaration
for silver
Still. predictions a. to what the Germans
will do when the time for action comes
are worthless. 1t is a fact that they are
bitterly hostile to militarism. They know
what its burdens are. Some of the most
prominent Germans in the country are
writing end speaking against Imperialism.
1t cannot be otherwise than that they will
have a great deal of influence with their
German fellow citizens.
If the German voters of the Middle West
could be drawn to the Democratic party
Mr. Bryan would get several states which
cast their electoral votes for Mr. McKin-
ley in 1896. 1t may be that the fact that
there is very little probability of financial
legislation during the next four years will
so allay their fears in respect TO silver
that they will feel free to cast their bal
lots against the Republican party and i'm
periaiism. One thing is certain, and that
is there is going to be a big fight for the
German vote.

GREAT WARS IN CYCLES.

Seldom. if ever, comes that happy time
when all the world is at peace It seems
that there must always be wars and
rumors of wars. It is of common occur
renee that great governments find it nee
essary to discipline their dependencies,
to avenge outrages upon their citizens
residing in semi-civilized lands, to send
troops against hostile tribes. or to main
tain an open door" policy in some quar-
ter of the globe. Thus, for instance. IL
may be said that Great Britain has virtu-
ally not been without a war of some sort
on her hands in a hundred years. The
wars may have been small ones, never
theless they were wars. And pretty much
the same has been true of every other
country of Europe. On this hemisphere.
too, the small fighting has been quite
very great wars.
The wars of great Powers, by the way.
seem TO come in cycles of about a hun
dred years, closing the old century and
inaugurating the new. The closing of
the seventeenth century and the open
ing of the eighteenth found the Turks
advancing into Europe. Germany (Aus-
tria was then Germany, France and Eng
land later fought under Prince Eugene.
De Vilars and Marlborough. The clos
ing years of the eighteenth century and
the opening of the nineteenth found all
Europe in arms for or against France
and Napoleon. And now, when the nine
teenth century is ending and we are upon
the eve of the twentieth, we find our own
country and Great Britain prosecuting
wars. while there is an incipient war in
China which threatens 90 fire the powder

siderable part of Asia before the end has
been reached.
Two centuries ago it was dark-skin-
ned, Moslem races who were the agrees
sors. The followers of the Crescent were
endeavoring to push themselves into and
capture the territory of the Cross. Now
it is the white-sknned, the Christian.
races that are asserting themselves in
Asia and Africa.
In the war with the Turks two hun
dred years ago, it was a conflict of re-
ligions. Later, when the Austrians and
French fought on account of the Span
ish succession, it was a fight of kings
by the people for the benefit of kings
A hundred years ago the fighting was by
the republicans or the people against the
kings and the aristocracy; and in those

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Nashville American (Dem) says:
"Mr. Stevenson will be force in uniting

party in 1896 will hardly bring themselves
to speak sharply of it with Stevenson on
