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. •lie people can read it and judge for 1 ter for his friends here to reed WMltr the 1 i hem selves. It occupies much space, but '1x1001001.1 iru.ee- 1 j him in the last cam- 1 be importance of the report is of such a .1 lign with lb* ca ndidacy in the present, character iw to render no apology neces- and nothing hut the reiteration of the ■mry for this. : net by those in a position to know could have induced them to believe it. Mori particularly is this true of those who mve the utmost confidence in his honor md integrity, and to wh en assurances ■•vere given that lie would not again be a •andidate. Crider the existing circumstances, tl.< course pursued by those of Colonel Harris’ friends who professed to have CRITICIHII-JIMT AMI UNJUST. While there are many faults directly ; due to ignorance and a low state of civil isation, there are some thnt especially j prevail in educated circles. Among these is an excessive and unjust criticism. An ■ intelligent miml, developed and sharp- • ned by education, is naturally keener to CLEVELAND’S ft Southernized Yankee Who Haa Eight Pounds and a Half 0 ( Alien Flesh. -tandupon his record in congress modest, to say the least o ( ' it, an 1 com mendablo as far ns it goes; but it was not satisfactory. The friends of Colonel Harris have given him a warm support in this district, and it ha- always been given in 1111 open and candi 1 way. Many people in tills district have c’.nim- upon the candor of Colonel Harris, and we are glad to know that he has recog nized the fact. We take il as an authori tative statement that he will not lie in j will magnify to himself and ids listeners , the hands of his friends as a candidate s I discern failings than a duller or less ae- ;,j,,, jq hand was not calculated to do | live one; it is less easily satisfied, having ,j,,, (l ny good, nor to gain him any a higher standard of excellence, and thus -trength among his friends in the di.-- the tendency to judge harshly of conduct trii-t. The statement that he would ! or performance t.linl falls below is '■ stronger. Then, too, the facility of expression being greater in the ' educated man. lie is more apt to give voice to bis judgments, and to dilute upon the 1 deficiencies and failings which he sees so I clearly. Where, perhaps, his next door neighbor would not find a flaw, he will | discover many; and the conduct that j most would pass over with a single word I of condemnation, he will dwell upon with i keen unulvsis and scrutiny, bv which be that lie lias never seen a nn ami rigid examination giu of any institution, and in 1. it complete the committee link as the report of h lioehstrasser went on to -.tv "This examination lias de shut were astonishing to na il.mbt lie a surprise to mauv as I did. for years trying 0, H i rai d r • thorough the books i-r to make • ■nt as far Captain •ped facts -1 will no tbought 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 ically pure—testing as high as 99.95 per cent, and not less than 99.50 per cent. 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.

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. The ill-constructed dwelling, the unsafe faced forgery was promptly discharged 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.

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.” For sale by wholesale and retail drug gists everywhere.
