Tiikuk is very considerable reason to
suspect that the passage of the hill for

gross ignorance of the real facts in the

\N EXPENSIVE ItHANCII.
Major Powell, director of the geological
survey, l as replied to the criticism of I
the joint commission on hit- work, and
Mr. Herbert, of the commission, has
made a caustic rejoinder. Altogether the j
director gets the worst of the controversy. :
It appears from his own admission that
the only power lie has is Idr "the prepa
ration of a geological map," and vet lit'
has been preparing and publishing all
manner of speculative and theoreti-j
cal works about '‘Klevations in
Canada," Hawaiian Volcanoes," “Liv
ing Oysters,’’ ‘'The. Steel Industry,"
etc., until the annual cost of the bureau '
has run up from 81015,000 in lsso to s'c’ii.-

fnur years, and Mr. Herbert says that tit

Alexar.il >r Agassiz writes to Mr. II -rhert
that tie paleontology of the geological
survey is precisely what private enter
prises would undertake without cost to
the government. It would certainly be
the part of wisdom for the government
to drop that expensive branch ol the
business.
TIIK 1*1 IIl,IC SCHOOLS.
Yesterday witnessed the last of the
losing exercises of the nineteenth annual
ession of the publicschoolsof Columbus.
' Hiring the year 1785 pupils have been
nrolled and th v bus been an average
ittendanec of lg.d) in this institution of
learning. This i* an excellent record for
' his hcIiooI when we consider the very
dirge number of private schools sutress-
ullylimiitgurated in various parts of the
city. The expenditures of the school in-
eluding the salaries of the teachers and
all other expenses for the past year were
817,oss.sti. t if this amount the eitv ap-
oropriates $15.Pit, while the pupil* paid
SL’.T.H .05, thus making the average cost
per student In the public schools about
ten dollars, and the individual cost to
uirents about two dollars per pupil.
These are the facts as shown by the re
port of the treasurer.
There is hardly an influence of more
value to the pnigress of this eitv than the
1 uperior educational advantages offered,
j It has brought some of the best citizens
| of the eit v here to educate their children,
and they have permanently located anil
are valuable acquisitions. Once here they
lind advantageous avenues for the in
vestment of money, anti thus the school
causes the city to grow and prosper. ()ne
great secret of success in school work is
to make it tfie business of the whole
people, and to give, every family a per
sonal interest in having the best instruc
tion for the children. This fact is ap
preciated in this city, as is shown by the
liberal appropriations made by the city
council for eduational purposes. Our
schools are made so good that rich and
poor meet in them and are educated to
gether, and then go out to make their
way into the world with common in
terests, and all equipped alike for the
struggle of life.
THE CHOLEKA.
Mucli to the; surprise of those who
have been close students of the ways of
the cholera, that dreaded disease lias not
as yet made its appearance in the United
States either in sporadic or epidemic
form. Last year the most confident pre
dictions were made that this season it
would certainly cross tlie Atlantic, and
in anticipation of a verification of those
scientific givings out extraordinary sani
tary precautions were adopted. Whether
those precautions were of so complete
and effective a nature as to liolcl the pes
tilence at a distance has not been claim
ed, but the fact stands that up to this
time there are no indications of a
revival of the pledge in Europe, and cer
tainly none on this side of the water, for
all of which we should he truly thankful.
But while thus congratulating ourselves
upon this fortunate exemption let it not
he forgotten that the cholera is not the
only disease we have occasion to dread.
There are others, escape from which is
largely dependent upon the observance
of proper sanitary conditions. In fact,
the general health is dependent upon
them, therefore it becomes all to take
part in the efforts made by the health
authorities for public protection against
disease.
Still another outsider has a pleasant word for
Mr. Grimes, and we cheerfully take from the
aright and nee-.v c aumns of the Russell Regis
ter the follow,ng :
* /tin Columbus any use for a federal building,
except for post office purposes? We tllfllk it has
, ml, therefore, is outside I he reasons ptoperly as
signed by tlic president for vetoing some of these
ippropriattons. We have always thought that
omebody was to blame In the matter of this Co-
umbus building or it would have been dom
any way, and we hope
will. If Tom will
,1-ill fix things; otherwise, they may

If the ladies and our neighbors across the
l iver could vote Tom Grimes would find It easy
sailing into congri ss. The Indies are always
right.
The prohibition tight is getting interesting In
Iowa. Two of tlie "dry” crowd are in jail fora
rioting, and now we see the snectncle of a inuli
of drunken men trying to lynch them. A little
moderation on both sides is needed.
Many fhnny things creep into tlie columns of
some papers, but the New York Sun rather takes
the load when it speaks- of tile /hiding of the
body of an “unknown man" under the head i f
"About People You Know,"
Miss Lillie Mitchell lias sued the St. Paid
Pioneer Press for libel for publishing her allept d
portrait, and now we are likely to get the tesli- j
niony of experts and a decision IVom the courts !
on the question whether the things so general^ j
published in the papers lately are really portraits I
or only libels.
It is at least a noteworthy coincidence that all
the large ilres recently, as at Vancouver, Chicago
and Boston, uumbers of human lives have been
lost. Advocates of cremation say it is bound to
come, but surely not in this form.
It might be a good stroke of policy on the part
of Senator Logan to say no more about the Hen
nepin canal job.
If Mr. Gladstone is a grand old man in parlia
ment, he is a grander old man on the stump.
The New York 'Times has fitted out an expedi
tion to make a thorough exploration of our al
most unknown territory of Alaska. Lieutenant
Sehwatka has been placed in command. Prof.
William Libby, jr., professor of physical geo
graphy, in Princeton college, will have charge of
the scientific work. A determined effort is to be
made to find out the secrets of Alaska.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says that the Hon. A.
M. Keiley, the unfortunate diplomat who was
rejected by two courts, will soon be appoint
ed one of the assistant secretaries of state.
As the anarchists were arraigned for trial the ,
record of their crime stood about as follows:
Seven brave policemen in their graves, sixteen ;
lying helpless anil suffering on their beds, and [
nineteen others lame and halt and unable for 1
duty. It is a bad record to face in the presence of '
an honest jury of twelve men.

THINGS HKTTIMI HIXKI1.
Tiling* are getting rather mixed so far
as the congressional race in the fourth
district with reference to Colonel Harris’
race is concerned. The Lnttrange lte-
porter yesterday contains the following:
“We are authorized to announce that Hon.
Henry K. Harris is not a candidate for the con
gressional nomination for this district.”
Hut the following from the Meriwether
Vindicator seems to question the author
ity of the Reporter:
“If you hear any rumors that Colonel Harris
has forbidden his friends to use his name for con
gress, just put it down that some enemy lias
been sowing tares while the husbandmen slept.
The friends of a man are the parties to whom he
confides his intentions. The friends of Colonel
Harris have received no authority to take him
out of the race. He is in the hands of his friends
let them take care of him.”
Tlu* following from tin* same issue of
the Vindicator wraps Colonel Ahraham
rather hard, ns he is responsible for the
sentence in quotations i
t*A party of gentlemen met in in a neighbor
ing town and decided that Colonel Harris ought j
not to run for congress and straightway it was
announced that by ‘authority we say for Colonel
Harris he is not a candidate for congress.' Yes.
by authority of these gentlemen. The friends of
Colonel 11 arris recognize no such authority. Let
no one be deceived.”
As Colonel Harris has made Lafirauev
his political headquartes for the past
several years, people in this section are
somewhat at a loss to understand the sit
uation. Colonel Abraham is regarded as
a gentleman w ho would not publish such
a statement without authority to do so.
and if Colonel Harris has the* proper
regard lbr his friends, he could very
easily settle the whole matter in halt
a dozen words.

CHARLES o. SHERIDAN.
This gentleman, tho senior member of
he firm of Sheridan Bros., fresco arti-t-
md decorators, of Atlanta, (fa., is M gcn-
>ine yankt-c by birth, but n southerner hv
■hoice and adoption. Born in the imn-
an city of Providence, it. I., 31 years ago
it an early age he turned his attentioTto
irt. He is by nature an artist, and his
years of study and tuition in eastern cities
have developed him into one of the fore-
nost young decorators of ids time. Some
veavs ago lie came soutli to decorate the
nterior of the Church of the Imaculnto
Conception, at Atlanta, and, liking the
people and climate, determined to locate
•outli of Mason and Dixon’s line. Since
then lie has been joined by his brothers,
F. K. and George, and churches and line
lwellings in every principal city of the
-:outh attest their ability, energy and en
terprise.
“My system,” said Mr. Sheridan during
i recent conversation, “had been for some
.ime
GRADI’AI.I.Y RUNNING DOWN,
“I was not sick, in a general sense of
’he 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 l,y
no means a robust fellow, and have what
might lie 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. 1 began using it about four weeks
ago and since that timehavegained 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 THOMAS PULI.UM,
now in his three score and ten years, and
one of the most prominent men in Geor
gia, horn and raised near Union Springs,
Ala., where he amassed quite a fortune
by strict integrity and honesty, and in
later vears connected with the wholesale
drug house of Pemberton, Pnlltim <$r 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
«go,
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 lias disappeared, and
the disease has been, I verily believe,
eradicated from her system. She is still
using the medicine as a precautionary
measure, and her general good health 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.”
