TAXES AND SALARIES.

EDITORS JOURNAL see in the pa
pers that our Representative, Hon. N,
il. Morris, has introduced into the
Legislature a bill to fix salaries for
Clerks OF the Court Of Ordinary where
there are no county commissioners. |
have great respect for Mr. Morris
judgment and trust that he will not
consider it impertinent for one of his
constituents, who has an opinion,
to enquire why the necessity for this
bill? 1t will, if passed, take six hun
dred dollars year out of the treasury
of Cobb county and put it in the pock-
ct of the Ordinary, for he pays his
own clerk now. Our former Ordinaries
paid their own clerks and why should
the law be changed now? 1t amounts
to creating another salaried office in
the county for the taxpayers to pay,
The people have been paying increased
taxes to build new court house and
new Jail, and now here is another prop
osition to permanently fix upon them
an increased expense o! $500 per annum.
If the work of the Ordinary has in
creased, his perquisites has no doubt
increased also enough to pay his clerk
salary. 1t does seem that the peo-
pie who have to work hard are entitled
to some consideration as we'll as the
office holders. Economy in public ex-
penditures should be the watchword
and not increased burdens to the tax
payers in this and other counties. l
mistake the temper of the people if
they sit quietly down and allow this
additional tax to pile upon their sore
backs without fiinching.

A FACT.

A good local paper beats the world as
an advertising medium. A hand bill
will attract attention by accident. The
newspaper carries your message to q
waiting audience. The fence rail ad is
a corpse that can only be looked upon
by few neighbors who have to go
near it. This newspaper "ad" goes in
to the home, it takes place in the
family circle, and talks right to the
hearts of thousands of people who pay
their money for just that kind of enter
tainment. Try the Journal.

The North Georgia Methodist Con-
ference adjourned Tuesday to meet in

some of the appointments for the ensu-
ing wear.
Arizona silver belt., 1902-02-13

The publication of the report of the army board, appointed to consider the location of military posts and the selec tion of sites for large army camps, is sN, ted with much interest, for the especial reason that General Miles, president of the board, Is reported to have declared his opposition to tue es- tablishment of military posts near large cities, on the ground that such action would be considered n menace to or ganized labor. One thing definitely known with regard to the board IS tha, it was entirely harmonious in its ac- ton, and that each of its recommends tions was unanimous. Whether the re- port will be made public or not will depend entirely upon the wishes of the president and the secretary of war, Until they reach decision iu the mat ter the contents of the report will be closely guarded as an official secret.

pointments, regardless of the wishes and opinions of those in his own party who are in position to advise him
 The incident has shown that the pres- dent is very superficial judge of char aoter, or rather that his judgment is overborne by sentiment and prejudice. While his motives may be the best, yet he is far too impulsive to be n safe judge of character. The president will probably learn before the close of his present term as chief executive that it is much safer to seek the counsel of his party leaders in state and territory than to ignore them and follow indis- creetly his own whim and fancy. What could President Roosevelt pos sibly know of Daniels past life? Iu the light of recent revelations, he made no effort to acquaint himself of it-Daniels had shown bravery on San Juan hill and that was n sufficient rec. ommendatiou to Colonel Roosevelt. The deuouement is rather ludicrous and we are not sorry that it is at the presidents expense. A little mortifi- cation of spirit will do him good

Coincident with the return of Admi. ral Schley and wife to Washington from their western and southern tonr. which was one continuous ovation to the hero of Santiago bay, counsel for Ad. miral Sampson filed with the president their brief protesting against the claims made in Schley's appeal. Ac- cording to these worthy counsel, Schley was worse than n cipher in the battle, making so many blunders that he im- peded the other American vessels in the engagement and endangered the success of the attack ou Ceryera's fleet. The brief shows anew the vim dlctiveness of tine naval clique that has consistently viliied Admiral Schley. but whatever effect il ma, have on the presidents mind in arriving at decis- ion on the bitter dispute, the verdict of the American people has been given in favor of Admiral Schley, and nothing can change it.
Arizona silver belt., 1902-02-13

We do not give credenee to the pub lished rumor that the marshalship fol Arizona has been offered to Rough Rider at present residing in Hawaii. Painfully conscious of the serious mis. take made in appointing Daniels, the president would hardly risk n similar selection, especially as the reputed beneficiary is six thousand miles from Washington. The easiest, and in our opinion the most satisfactory solution of the unfortunate muddle, would be the reappointment of Marshal M. II. McCord, whose conduct of the office has met with general approval.

It is being demonstrated afresh in congress that the tariff is not only a focal issue but an extremely selfish one. We find the democratic representatives from the cane and beet sugar districts joining with the republican high pro- tectionists in opposition to any conces- sions to Cuba. The import duty on Cuban sugar is something like 200 per cent, which, of course, is prohibitive, and the propsition to reduce it 9 to 30 per cent is met by the protest from the American sugarraisers that the cut would ruin them. It is the same oId cry that has been raised repeatedly for the past twenty. years whenever n reduction of tariff WAS proposed, by those interests which have fattened at the public crib. Fortunately for Cuba, President Roosevelt has n higher sense of honor, and of the obligations we as nation owe to Cuba, than most mem- bers of his party in congress, and there are growing indications that his wishes will finally prevail, to the ex- tent at least of relieving the republi can party of the charge of being wholly false to their pledge.

RECIPROCITY AND WAR TAXES

The manner in which some members of tke ways and means committee be- came seized with sympathy for the tax payer was electric in its suddeunes, says the republican Washington Star.
 Their discovery that the American tax payer had backache from tax burdens was reached just as the pressure for tariff concessions to Cuba was hard upon them, but that is, of course, only a coincidence. They say so them. selves. There was, 1t is explained, no relation between the popular demand that the tariff on Cuban sugar and to- bacco should be reduced, and the de- clslon of these members to so decrease the revenues of the government that any further reduction might threaten deficit.
 By reduction of the tax on beer the brewers would be charmed, and. as II mas been sometimes said, the brewers vote hard and ofteu. Then, the reduction of the tax on beer would probably prevent reduction of tue tariff on sugar or tobacco. Thus also would the sugar and tobacco growers be charmed. And 1t has been said that the sugar and tobacco interests can vote like brewers. The committee in this way could kill two birds with one stone.
 It IS suspected that the purpose was not so much to gladden. the heart of tue taxpayer as to get rid of the revenue and thus place another obst .cle in the way of Cuban reciprocity

 February II, published in the Tucson
 Citizen, states that the secret seryicr
 officers of the department of justice,
 who have been investigating the record of Benjamin F. Daniels, recently ap- pointed United States marshal for Ari- zons, have submitted their report to the attorney general. They say there Is no doubt he Is the same person who served sentence of three years and n half in the Wyoming peniteutiary for grand larceny. Efforts have been made by the attorney general to com municate with Daniels. but no one seems to know where he Is. When last heard from he was at Kansas City, and 1t was said that he intended to visit St. Louis. Since then he has completely disappeared, and telegrams sent have failed to reach him. The commission of Daniels, which was or dered returned from Arizona, will be cancelled, according to present inten- lions, when it is received at Wash IDgton.

THE RESIGNATION OF NIXON.

The New York Outlook publishes
the following item regarding the Tam
many leadership:
Naturally, the worst element
among the leaders received the resig-
nation with marked equanimity, and it
is generally believed that Mr.. Carroll,
of Ice Trust notoriety, and what is
known as the Gambling Combina-
ton" are left in control. Mr.. Croker,
in an interview cabled from England,
denies that he has interfered in n
way with Mr.. Nixon's control, and
claims that a cablegram to his part
her, which was interpreted as inter
ference, was not thought by him to be
in any degree Objectionable to Mr..
Nixon. He repeats that he is out of
politics for good and that his health
absolutely forbids his return, and that,
if Mr.. Nixon is unable to lead, some
one else must be found who can. There
is doubtless point in this last state
ment, though Mr.. Nixon's inability to
lead is chiefly to his credit. He came
into the leadership, as one Tammany
chieftain expressed it, Through the
roof" He was imposed upon the body
instead of growing up within it. He
was, therefore, in a sense, an alien
ruler. But had he simply been of
alien origin and not been bent upon
the use of methods still more alien to
the organization, his rule would prob
ably have endured. He has lost his
leadership, but he has retained unfair
nished the reputation he had when he
assumed it.

a splendid gathering of diplomats,
foreign ministers, the Spanish nobil-

THE ACCESSION OF ALFONSO
XIII.

The ceremonies with which the
young King of Spain assumed the roy
al throne, under the title of Alfonso
Kill, were carried out on Saturday
of last week with the dignity and at
tention to detail characteristic of the
Spanish court. The only thing which
marred the occasion was the discovery
of an Anarchist plot to STAY the new
King by a dynamite explosion. For
tunately, the authorities gained knowl-
edge of the plot at an early day, and
at the time when the assassination was
planned to take place the conspira-
tors we're under arrest. This intend
ed demonstration of Anarchism brings
into strong light one of the serious
dangers with which the monarchy of
Spain has to contend. There is no
question of the loyalty of the greater
part of the country, but in certain
parts, and especially in Catalonia,
there have been labor agitations and
i'll feeling caused by excessive taxa
ton bearing, it is claimed unjustly,
on industrial interests. The problem
before Spain, now that she is free
from colonial responsibilities and
troubles, is to establish internal pros
perity and an administration which
shall take cognizance of the rights and
interests of all classes. There are in
dications that Spain is entering upon
this problem with greater energy and
earnestness than she has often shown
in recent history. A notable incident
of the rejOicings of last week, which
lasted for several days, was the recep-
ton accorded to the American repre-
sentative, DR.. Curry, who was partic-
ularly acceptable to the Spanish court
because of his past relations with it.
The cordially extended towards him
was evidently something more than
formal, and augurs well for the firm
re-establishment of pleasant relations
between the United States and Spain.
At Madrid last week, as was also the
case when the Queen of Holland as
sumed royal power, there was no &C
tual coronation. The King simply
took an oath of allegiance to the Con-
stitution and the people. The oath
was administered by the Spanish Pre-

To u young farmers we wish to

Take the best farm paper you can find
and keep up. Read the best books on
agricultural subjects. Keep posted.
This is a day of progress. This is as
true of farming as of electrical
science. Learn Gods laws as they ap-
ply to soils and plants. Make farming
honorable by making yourself an hon
