Co,.. Traylor, it seems, is taking a view
r>f the situation in the district in order to
determine whether he will lien candi
date for congress. A I,at (range special
of the l!»th to tins Atlanta Constitution
says:
“The friends of Colonel John H. Traylor from
Harris and Troup counties have been in consul
tation here to-day, and are anxious that he make
the nice for congress from the fourth district.
They arc urgent that ho allow the use of his
name, but he lias not yet decided as to what
course he will take. He will decide within the
next two or three days. His friends are enthusi
astic, and say that If he allows the uso of his
name that ho will make a magnificent rime.”
YKKmtiiAY we received it circular
which is being extensively circulated in
Harris county, urging the Harris men in
that county to rally. It is of quite a sen
sational character, and winds up with
this assertion: "Not only has advantage
been taken of the friends of our Harris
by hurrying up matters with unseemly
haste, hut it has industriously circulated
that Col. Harris is not a candidate. This
report has deceived many.” We have
the announcement of Col. Abraham,
who seems to have the authority to
speak, that he is not n candidate. There
is no deception about this.

i hem selves. It occupies much space, but '1x1001001.1 iru.ee- 1 j him in the last cam-

It lias been the impression
that the Centra! road was
gobble up the Mobile and
id, but investigation puts
REPORT OK TIIE COMMITTEE.
We publish this morning the report of
the committee that lias spoilt several
days examining into uffairs pertaining to
the Mobile and Girard railroad. This
committee was appointed by the stock
holders at the last annual meeting,and it
is prolinblv the first time in the history
of the road that the stockholders have
looked into their own atiiiirH so thorough
ly. Neither the directors nor any other
official of the road had anything to do
with the committee more than to furnish
such papers, reports and documents us
were desired by the committee.
The report of the committee conclu
sively shows the thoroughness of the ex
amination. It presents the entire details
in a way that cannot lie misunderstood,
and while it relleets the sentiments of
the committee in regard to the efficiency
of the management of the road, it docs
not speak as forcibly of the management
as the members of tlie committee indi
vidually feel. in response to the qties- I
tion asked Mayor Grimes yesterday after- j
in inn, he at • nice replied :
“1 have never seen books better kept
than those of Mr. Frazier, the treasurer
of the road. To start with, they are as!
neat a-' it is possible for them to lie; even - j
tiling is recorded just as it should lie, and
in the proper place; the balances foot up!
to a cent, and are properly vouched for,
while lie lias everything about hi' cilice 1
fu arranged that lie can place his hand
upon any paper wanted oil a minute's 1
notice. I cannot see how it is possible to
bale a more systematic set of books, and !
a more thorough examination could not
be given than was done by the commit- 1
tec. The result was highly satisfactory
to every member of t in-committee.”
We also bad a talk wirti Captain C. I .
lioehstrasser, who was sc lei ted as an ex- ;
lort on binikkeeping, lie informs us
the turpitude of the erring one.
It is easy to see that this habit of mind
must be productive of great injustice and
of much unhappiness. Criticism in wise
and skillful bands, within moderate lim
its, and used with a beneficent aim in
view, is u valuable agent; but exercised
without restraint, and without any defi
nite purpose of good to be accomplished,
it is a weapon of destruction and misery.
But if, through an intelligent sym
pathy, the critic is in a condition to un
derstand the difficulties, aspirations, pur
poses and hopes of those upon whom
lie passes opinion, such a knowledge will
temper and subdue all harsh judgments,
and give a truer and less one-sided con
ception of the errors now so hastily con
demned.
All unfavorable opinions thus reached
will cause some degree of pain to the
sympathetic man. He will have no wish
to disclose them, and will only do so at
the stern call of duty. If justice demands
it, if he hopes to reclaim an erring one
or to incite the idle to exertion; if, in
fact, he has any good purpose at heart
which be thinks can he thus attained, he
will give it utterance. Otherwise he will
k cep silence on the faults and failings
which he sees in others, and will gladly
dwell upon the other side. Tried by this
test, how much of the criticism now
spoken eagerly, and heard with secret
satisfaction, would drop into deserved
oblivion ! How much merit, that is now
hidden from view, would find hearts
for the fiftieth congress
There is a flavor and omen of success in the
rush of boys for admission to the recently estab
lished manual training school in Philadelphia.
The young fellows who learn the mysteries of
wood and iron working at a properly conducted
institution for manual training may live to thank
their lucky stars that they were not set adrift
from some university with no more valuable fur
nishing for life’s struggles than a sheepskin di
ploma and a vague yearning for the learned pro
fessions. This is the age of machinery, and its
rewards are for those who learn to control its
material forces. Therefore intelligent parents—
especially among those who themselves toil for a
livelihood—set a high value upon the beginning
of a technical education afforded by the curricu
lum of the manual training school.
The Japanese have not only nearly three hun
dred miles of railroad in operation, but they
make their own cars at Shinbaski, and the build
ing of the line from Tsuniga to Ogaki was con
ducted by young Japanese engineers, whose task
included two large bridges and a tunnel a mile
long.
The president gave Rev. Dr. Sunderland, not a
|100 bill, as lias been stated, but a $500 note, as a
marriage fee. The country is indebted to a rep- j
resentative of the Cincinnati Enquirer for setting
history straight on this momentous point.
Mr. Benjamin, ex-minister to Persia, says that !
the influence of Russia in that country is quite
insignificant, and that the shah and a majority 1
of his subjects are opposed to Russian nggres- l
si on. Mr. Benjamin forgets that Russia recently |
obtained a portion of Persian territory by private
treaty, and that when the shah was asked to
form au alliance with Turkey he refused on the j
ground that his brother, the czar, would take
care of him.

We are analyzing all the Cream of Tartar
used in the manufacture of CLEVELAND’S
SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER, and we
hereby certify that it is practically chem

From a hygienic point of view we regard
CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING
POWDER as the ideal baking powder,
composed as it is of pure Grape Cream of
Tartar and pure Bicarbonate of Soda.

Thu sensational story that has been published
in several newspapers about a dispatch sent by
the president to Mrs. John Kelly was promptly
really to recognize it, and lips eager to I denied. The reporter who originated the bare-
brought into
repeated and
utter it! Whatever
prominence, circulated
dwelt upon, will always have a tendency
to increase and multiply, whether it be
good or evil. If, then, we thus diffuse
and expand the evil, how great is our re
sponsibility !
The decrease of unjust and nnneedod
criticism would add force and poignancy
to that which is just and necessary.
There must always be strict examination
of the work of the world by those who
are competent and whose business it is.

Mr. Wm. L. Scott loses no time in denying tha.
story that he had written a letter to the effect
that he had been offered the post of secretary of
the treasury. At the end of his leave of absence
Secretary Manning may gratify the country by
withdrawing his conditional resignation of au
office which he fills with signal ability. For this .
reason the discussion of the question of his sue- j
cessor seems to be superfluous.

privilege of placing him "emphatically
ill the hands of his friends" in order to
prepare his constituency fur his own an

Harris if the result should pan out satis

Blit t ho statement, made by Mr.

CHARLES 0. SHERIDAN.
This gentleman, the senior member of
the firm of Sheridan Bros., fresco artists
and decorators, of Atlanta, Ga., is a gen
uine yankeo by birth, but a southerner iiv
choice and adoption. Born in the purl-
tan eitv of Providence, K. 1., 31 years ago,
at an early age he turned his attention'to
i|j‘t. He is by nature an artist, and his
years of study and tuition in eastern cities
nave developed him into one of the fore
most young decorators of his time. Some
years ago he came south to decorate the
interior of the Church of the J maculate
Conception, at Atlanta, and, liking the
people and climate, determined to locate
south of Mason and Dixon’s line. Since
then lie lias been joined by his brothers,
F. R. and George, and churches and tine
dwellings in every principal city of the
south attest their ability, energy and en
terprise.
“My system,” said Mr. Sheridan during
a recent conversation, “had been for some
time
GRADUALLY RUNNING DOWN,
“I was not sick, in a general sense of
the word, but my physical strength was
feeling the severe strain I had been for
years putting upon it in the active men
tal labor necessary in the pursuit of my
avocation. While I have not what is
termed a delicate constitution, I am by
no means a robust fellow, and have what
might he called the ‘New England mold,’
physically. For some time past I had
been losing vigor, when my attention
was called to Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure
as a tonic and strengthener of the sys
tem. I began using it about four weeks
ago and since that time have gained eight
and a half pounds in weight. My blood
is as pure as spring water and my entire
system revitalized. I have no hesitancy
in saying that it is the best general tonic
upon the market to-day.”
JUDGE TIIOMAS PULLUM,
now in his three score and ton years, and
one of the most prominent men in Geor
gia, born and raised near Union Springs,
Ala., where lie amassed quite a fortune
by strict integrity and honesty, and in
later years connected with the wholesale
drug Fiouse of Pemberton, Pullum & Co.,
of Atlanta, Ga., and now a citizen of that
city, said a few days ago in the presence
of a reporter:
“My wife had been for many years a
constant sufferer from rheumatism. Her
joints were swollen and distorted, great
knots had formed upon her hand. She
could only with great difficulty and pain
manage to walk, and was a constant suf
ferer from this dreadful disease. We
tried everything we could read or hear
of, and took advice of eminent practi
tioners without any benefit in the way of
permanent relief. I was induced to try
Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure a short time
ago,
ALTHOUGH I HAD LOST FAITH
in all patent medicines and nostrums and
considered her case incurable.
“The effect was magical; the pains have
entirely vanished; the swelling and dis
tortion of her joints inis disappeared, and
the disease lias been, 1 verily believe,
eradicated from her system. She is stiff
using the medicine as a precautionary
measure, and her general good healtli is
being restored by it. I can honestly and
fearlessly recommend Hunnicutt’s Rheu
matic Cure as the best medicine for rheu
matism and the blood upon the market.”
