REAUTIFYIN6 4 TOWN.

The visitor to towns along the
Texas Central Railway is struck
with the evidences on every hand Of
artistic beauty, and on inquiry
learns that the example of the road
in having pretty parks, put the ball
in motion.
No one likes to visit shipshod,
slovenly place, whore the inhabi-
tants just sit around and let decay
encompass them on every side.
Every one is delighted to spend a
day or week in a tidy well kept
town, where the people exhibit an
nimation and are anxious for better
things.

have changed dead villages in New
England into prosperous towns.

BETTER PROSPECTS.

Senior Concha the pragrnatlcal
minister from Columbia to the
United States who has been OBJ
structing q treaty for a canal
across the isthmus Of Panama to
be built by this country has, by
request of Secretary Hay, been
recalled by his government and
Doctor Herran who is favorable
to the canal has been appointed
in his place. Consequently the
prospects are better for the early
beginning Of work on this water
way. 1t is even intimated that
III case no new treaty is formed
with Columbia the United States
will nevertheless proceed to cut
the canal under the rights and
franchises held by the Fnench
company of which this govern
will be the successor by purchase.
Once in possession this country
could enforce everything that it
desires. Columbia never would
dare for all time to come to at
tempt to forclbly oppose any of
the legitimate acts of the United
States with respect 10 the canal.
But the prospects are that Column
bic will, i'll the end, form salts
factorily treaty with this govern
ment, and that actual work will
begin at no distant day. This is
evident from the appointment Of
Doctor Herran as the minister
from that country, who is known
to be favorable to the treaty and
who will probably do all in his
power to bring it about.
1t is not likely in any event
that the Nicaragua route will
be chosen for there are two vol
canoes directly upon this route
which are subject to eruptions at
any time. Besides the Republi-
cans and northern states general
ly do not want the Nicaragua
route and what they say goes. The
writer believes that it is Panama
or nothing. R. VICTOR.

A NELANGE OF LIVE TOPICS
Penned for Journal Readers
by a Local Scribe.
UNJUST.

1t was stated in debate in the
Georgia house of representatives a
few days ago that the colleges in
this state which are supported
from the public treasury will re-
ceive this year about 5000, 900.
1t has already been decided to
give the common schools $500, 900
by a direct appropriation which
added to the amounts received
from other sources will give the
schools 81 100000 this year. This
is 100000 less than the sum
which the schools usually re-
ceive. At the same time iii in
crease has been made in the ap-
preparations for colleges.
The writer believes that this
discrimination in favor of the
colleges is very unjust to the poor
children of the state very few of
whom, perhaps one out of every
hundred, can attend Z the higher
institutions of learning. To have
been perfectly fair as between the
schools and colleges giving to
each in proportion to the number
of pupils which they instruct the
colleges should have had upon the
basis of 81 800, 900 for the schools,
SIS, 900, estimating that the high
er institutions contain only one
hundredth of the number of pupils
of the lower ones. Instead of that
each pupil in college (about 4OOO)
receives $50 per annum while
each pupil in the public schools
receives only about two dollars or
less per annum.
Owing to the bad condition of
the states finances it would have
been better to very much reduce
the appropriations for colleges
this year leaving the sum for the
public schools at the usual figure.
Indeed except in the case of the
chronological school in Atlanta
the girls industrial school at
Milledgeville and the colored in
dustrial school at Savannah no very
great harm would have been done
if the appropriation for colleges
had been cut off entirely.

uNFOUNEED.

The Atlanta News of recent date
contained communication from
special correspondent at Wash
ington i'll which it was declared
that owing to the prosperous con-
dition of the country the Demo-
Gratis have no chance to come in
to power for many years to come
unless hard times set in. This
correspondent also asserts that
the Philippine problem has settled
itself.
We are of the opinion that the
News special correspondent leans
strongly to the Republican party.
Prior to the late elections some of
the dispatches to that paper, es-
pecially from New York and MARY
land, made great predictions In
favor of the Republicans which
were far from being fulfilled.
That the county is not satisfied
with the policies of the Republi-
can party, and that it believes
that socalled prosperity of the
republic is myth except so far
as the protected interests of capt.
talists are concerned is evident
from the results of the elections
III the New England and middle
states where generally the Repub-
llcan majorities were very much
reduced. In Massachusetts the
Social Democratic vote which is
distinct from that of the regular
Democrats, was 10000 and in the
United States about 100000. The
general complaintsof working men
in the manufacturing districts is
that while the price of almost
everything else including the cost
of living has very much increased
the rate Of wages remains the
same. This | believe was one of the
causes of the great coal miners
strike. 1t is not at ali improb-
able that two more years of
schooling in the beauties of the
Republican policy of protection
of the rich at the expense of the
poor will pretty thoroughly open
the eyes of the thinking and indie
dependent voters.
And there is no denying of the
fact that Roosevelt the next Re-
publican nominee, is becoming
every day more unpopular with
the business interests and money
power of the country. This was
manifested a few days ago by the
abuse showered by Wall street up
on the presidents message to
Congress. Practically the whole
street was opposed to the message.
Money makes the mare go. :"
Grover Cleveland has been Civ
en- credit for considerable amount
of political acumen. That per-
son most emphatically declares
that in his opinion the Philippine
problem is not settled-he would
dump them-and that the people
are not satisfied with Republican,
policies.
