The recent census will cost, exclusive of printing, engrav ing and binding, 86,000,000. Pretty steep for a botch job. Grammatically speaking a kiss is a noun, technically sDeakine a conjunction, and generally speaking a first class article.

It is highly probable that the coming General Assembly will establish a Jiallroad uom- misaion. We trust it will; cer tainly it will if the voices of thm neonle are heard. This question has been the issue this campaign m lexas. Georgia s Railroad Commission was es tablishedin 1877. During its first five years over 2,000 miles of new road were built and and passenger , fare reduced from five to three cents per mile. Freight rates have been nmnnrtinnallv reduced. That is. Georgia's answer to the aTtovorA that a railroad commis- .ion wonld discourage railroad Ann struet'on and operations. Wnrth Carolina can afford to follow tne footsteps of the'Empire State of the South." The New York Herald keeps the following article standing at the head of its editorial col nam. In 18S8 we paid in pen rions 880,288,508,77. In 1889 we paid 887,624779.11. The cost of the German army, it may be in teresting to note is for this year estimated at 891,726,293.

But few persons who view a D&ssenger train as it goes thun dering past have an idea taht it represeots a cash value of from 875,000 to 8120,000, but such is the case. The ordinary express train represents from 883,000 to 190.000. The engine and tender are valued at 810,500; the bag gage car, 81,000; the postal car, 82,000; the smoking car, 85,000; two ordinary passenger cars, $10,000 each; three palace cars, $15,000 each total, 83,000 Men give me some credit," says Alexander Hamilton, "for genius. "All the gennis l nave lies in this: When I have. a subject in hand I study it pro foundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the ef fort which I make the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." This reminds us that Rev. Thomas Dixon said in his lecture here last week that 'genius is a man's capacity for 'work " Miss Annie Baldwin is a Massachusetts lady who has lived about two years in North Carolina. She has written sev eral letters to Northern papers. There is a lot of stuff printed about the down-trodden condi-- tion of the negro, and in order to show the unreality of the picture we quote the following: "To a persoa who nas several times been elbowed off the sidewalk into the gutter by these "helpless victims of white tyranny," in the exuber ant assertihn of their 'rights' on festive occasions, such as Emancipation day; and who has heard a neighbor's colored coachman strike for higher wages on the ground tha. he culd not possibly go into socii ety as he wished an that sala ry, and who was recently in formed on the arrival of a new black servant to help tempor arily in the kitchen, by the cook, also black, anuouncing at the door, 'your company's come ma'mA all this talk about the negro as a down-trodden being is, to saj the least, slightly alarming. If he is a dowu trodden now what will he be when be has once uprisen? So far as our experience goes, the negroes of this section are as able to take care of themselves as most of their white neighs bora, and the best of them in dignantly reject the schemes for making them paupers and mendicants, including assisted emigration and all other non sense of that sort."

A If D TRUTHS' NOV. 6, 1890 A GOOD EEFE1TSE- An Explanation That Sid 'he Bight ; Thing. T have been told a new story, says a New York Tribune cor respondent, illustrative of the ready wit of Representative Mason, of Illinois. The inein dent occured when he was, years ago, a lawyer in Des Mpines He was defending a man na Jied Spencer to action, for divorce, brought by his wife. After, the evidence had all been taken the opposing lawyer summed up for the prosecution and handled Spencer's testimony without gloves. The defendant, enraged, blurted out suddenly: "You are a liar!'' . , . . Immediately the court be came so quiet that you could have heard the traditional pin drop, and the Judge, scowling, seemed to be thinking of a suit able punishment for such unpre cedented contempt. At any rate it looked as if Spencer had irrevocably prejudiced his' case. Mason was the first man to re-1 cover from the shock, and be gan at oncein his sweetest tones, i I i l presume, may it please your honory from the silence which has fallen upon the court, that my client's language has been misconstrued. Know, then, that he is an ardent admirer of music and is strangely affected by it: When my leaned friend opened his mouth and I heard his first eloquent words be too much for my client. Now was I mistaken, for it made s jch an impression upon him that, forgetting- it was directed against him, he exclaimed iu admira tion, "You are a lyre.' Yes, yonr honor, he said lyre,' but it was merely a musical metaphor. His passion for music was too great. He meant U r n but lyre with a 'y may it please your honor." In the laughter which follow ed both judge and lawyers for got and forgave the offence, and as Spencer's astonishment had prevented a reiteration of his statement he escaped punish ment. FINE- He Loves Els Fellow Man Say what you will about Rob ert Ingersoll .all. him pagan, infidel or agnostic, no" one can dispute the fact that he has a big brain and a tender heart. This good man gone wrong, this stormy petrel of the dead sea of doubt, sometimes rises above (he mists and fogs that blind most of us, and in his suu nier moods sings a song of glad ness that rejoices weary souls, and upi'fts the bowed heads of thesorroisia. Here is what b says about the laugh of a child: , Strike with the Land of fire oh weird musician, thy harp strung with Apollo's golden hair. Fill the vast cathedral aisles with the synphonies sweet and dim, deft toucher of the organ's keys. - Blow, bugler blow, until thy silvery notes do touch and kiss - the moons lit waves that charm the lovers wandering over hills vine-clad; Yet know ye that your music is all discord compared to the laugh of a child that laugh that marks the boundary line between the beasts and men and every wayward wave of which doth drown some fretful fiend of care. O, Laughter, rose-lipped daughter of Joy, there are enough dimples in thy cheeks to catch and hold and glorify all the tears of grief. If this brave and honest doubter with the heart of a child had only the faith of a child what a powtr for good he would be in the world. No man of this century has touched with such a master hand the heartstrings of his fellow men. Let us net forget the good that is in him. Let us applaud every word that he speaks for liberty and for tr.an. Let ua assure him that whenever he leaves the Jower level of dark ness aud despair to climb sim crowned heights, led by th laugh of a childwe are ready to go hand in hand with him. One who loves all human kind must be crushed beciuse of his mistakes; he must not te legenerated and saved in spite of them. Atlanta Consti tution. "What is an old fogy?'
