EDITORIAL NOTES.
One very often mistakes his own
temper for principle.
The Farmers’ Alliance is growing
at a wonderful rate. The purpose of
the organization is laudable and ev
etybody will wish success to it.
It is by no means certain that
President Cleveland will veto the
Blair Educational bill. It ought to
be a law and we believe he will make
it one.
President Cleveland will be invited
by the democracy to stand for the
office of Piesident again this sum¬
mer, and he will not stultify himself
by standing on the Atlanta Constitu
tion’s Joe Brown platform.
The Atlanta Constitution is full of
sympathy for the oppressed moon¬
shiner, but would make our law
against carrying concealed weapons
even more severe than it is. Oh
servant readers will see the point
here.
A dynamite nomb is kept handy
for use on the first person who al
ludts to us as the seedy individual
who runs the Hamilton Journal.
Aid we w; continue to give free to
every subscriber a dozen papers of
Buist’s h lv t :’U! en seeds

are several gentlemen from Harris
county. Not o»,e of these would re
tain his place if there was anything in
the execution of the law that even
bordered upon the barbaric practices
of Russia. The moonshiner may re
ceive summary treatment when he
go*s gunning for revenue officers, but
so should every would be murderer.
The Louisville Courier Tournal
suggests that a liberal government
bounty for twins would do more to
bring about an increased demand for
farm products than a high tariff
ever yet done. The expense of this
plan would be less, too, and we com¬
mend it to the consideration of pro
tectionists
President Cleveland says that the
surplus revet.ues of the
should be rented hv removing tlje
taiiff on articles that enter into ev
ery day consumption. Raw wool he
cites, and he might hive added su
gar and rice. But the Atlanta Con¬
stitution insists that if the tarin is
reduced, the revenues from it must
be increased.
Columbus has inaugurated a plan
for an industrial exposition to be
held th’s fall. With her present and
prospective railroad connections and
her great natural advantages, there is
no city thar has a brighter prospect.
The sagacity of her people will make
her to the southern iion towns, just
what Philadelphia is to Pittsburg.
I he fair points in the rigut direction
and will be a success.
For the Hamilton Journal,
CURRENT EVENTS.
The illness of Speaker Carlisle
prevented him from fulfilling his ap
pointment to address the people of
Atlanta on the 23rd and the people
of Macon on the 24th, on the subject
of the tariff. Many will be sadly dis¬
appointed.

HAMILTON, GA., JANUARY 27,1888.
Ju ; ge Lamar has been confirm
ed by the Senate in spite of the op
position of Edmunds and his cohorts.
Politicians are on the lookout and
suggest tha f Governor Gordon take
Senator Brown’s place, and Repre
sentative Blount take Governors
fice. A better suggestion would be ;
for Gov. Gordon take Senator Co!
quitt’s place, Mr. Blount stay in Con¬
gress, then Lawton Governor. We
cannot spare Mr. Blount from the
House and we need Governor Gor
don in the Senate.

The proceedings of Congress are
not sufficiently advanced to form any
very definite opinion of what Con¬
gress will do.
The Reading strike has taken large
proportions ,..il no piospect of
early settlement. These labor trou
b!es are unfortunate and will cause
much suffering. In consequence of
the scarcity of coal the Ashland Steel
\\ ur |<s near Baltimore has stopped
anf | d.scharged over joo laborers,
j Also the Delaware Rolling Mills, and
i in all over 5,000 men are idle.
The cold wave in the north west
has moderated to some extent, but it
is stid very cold and trains are delay
ed.
Florida is receiving a much larger
nurn ber G f visitors this winter, than
J ever bcfore . The New York and
Jacksonville train, tri weekly, comes
heavily freighted with passengers.
These visitors will give Florida a
“silver lining.”
