' It ta Raid that Mr. Blaine i« certainly the man the next republican nominee ImHtoheat. This lets Johnalogan out. It seemH that President Cleveland wants a rest, ami he intends to have it, He Hays “the dog days must and shall be respected.” _________ Ir the defense is not able to break down direct testimony in the case of (lie anarchists on (rial in Chicago, there will lie some work ibrtlie hangman out there before long. A Caukoh.nia paper speaks of two “re spectable ladies’* who fought with hatchets. A California woman who is not "respectable” would bo a bad tiling to wake up. Mexico may insult the United States and shoot American citizens, hut the St. Louis Republican finds consolation in knowing that every well-regulated dime museum in this country has a cork leg that once belonged lo Santa Anna. Does any one desire a rare treat? Let them take an Alabama or Georgia politi cian, tel) him that there are no applicants for the offices in the South Carolina state nominating convention, und then watch him try hi comprehend the situation. Secretary Bayard ought to get Web ster’s spelling hook and read the fable of the old man who threw hunches of grass at tiie boy in the apple tree. A few heavy stones hurled at Mexico would make the greasers tumble to the racket and stop their foolishness with American citizens. Attention has been called to the fact that bo much noise from our manufacto ries, railroad trains and other business en terprises seriously affects some of our citi zens by the perpetual din and rumbling. It should bo comforting to extremely nervous people to know that it is but a few hour's ride to Atlanta and four hours will put them in the quiet of Macon. The Globe-Democrat's special corre spondent at Lima, <>., sends full particu lars of the (lush oflightning which turned a blasphemer into stone. Touching this the St. Louis, Republican says that in t he absence of instructions he is taking hb tone from •the Logan boom articles on the condition of the southern negro. It is said that "evil communications corrupt good morals,” Iml Senator Butler seems to be proof against such infection. A Washington item runs to the cll'oct that it washy the efforts of Simon Came ron that tiie disabilities of the present Senator Butler, of South Carolina, were removed. Butler’s uncle and Cameron had been fnM friends in the old days, and now Butler and Don Cameron arc intimates, being much together. Secretary Lamar has removed “33 and Secretary Manning 240 republicans from the classified service in the depart ments at Washington, For a civil service reform administration this is doing toler ably well, but we will never lmve com plete civil service reform until tiie last one of them are made to go. By the way, what is the matter with Endicott, Whitney, Garland and Vilas? They ought to help “turn the rascals out.” There are about three hundred thou sand miles of railroad in the world, of which fully one-half are in America. Australia is now building ;;t the greatest rate per cent, of any of the grand divis ions of the world, partly because the mileage of that country is very small in proportion to its extent. Sixty per cent, of the railroads of the world are in Eng lish-speaking countries. Australia has only 304 persons per mile of railroad, the United States about 300, and Canada the same. In Groat Britain and Ireland there are 1870 people per mile of road, and in Germany, France and Belgium still more. Austria heads the list with 2780 persons per mile. The British rail roads are very costly, the average ex ceeding 8200,000 per mile. The average in the United States is less than one- third as much, the difference being due not altogether tiX cheaper construction, but largely to thd great cost of way in the more thickly populated country. The United States lias spent more for railroads per inhabitant than; any other country— about $133. Russia has only spent $14 per head, and most of the European na tions less than $50. the cioivrm i iojts wood-cits. The red renovator flint is popularly apposed to reach us after "coming thro'the rye” i* very scarce in Atlanta now. The old toper, with his burnt out ‘ innards,” his beef-liver nose, U h.ifiled, and dejected, and sad. The glad light has gone out of his heart; and the habboon* have come down from his bedstead posts and silently stolen away. But when the typical toper of the Gate City woke up last Sunday morning and got a glimpse of the live harrowing wood- cuts on the seventh page of the Atlanta Constitution, lie must have thought that “he had ’em agu1n," There is a story of a boy who drew a picture of a monkey on a burn door with chalk and went away. By and by he re turned and wrote under his drawing: “To the puhlick, this here's a monkey.’’ The Constitution with a charity for help ing the public out of a predicament which is akin to that of the hoy, has printed under its first wood-cut tiie startling in formation “General John B. Gordon.” The general has changed sadly since we sow him a few short weeks ago. In fact he must have gone through a sausage mill since then. Then he was hand some, benign and gallant. Now he looks like he has had his picture taken with a false face on. If General Gordon will preserve the Sunday Constitution’s pic ture of himself it may he of service to him yet. When he is in the governors’ ollice and the otfice-seekers arc crowding him to death, he can just hung the Con stitution’s picture of himself over the door arid go to sleep. We were going to say that ho could make sure by also hanging over the door Dante’s inscrip tion over the gate of hades, “He who enters here leaves hope behind.” But it would he superfluous. The picture says all that and more, too. Would an office-seeker who had eyes and nerves enter the door? We think not. Would anybody he able to hack a blind mule through the door while the picture hung over it? We think not. The peo ple of Georgia will weep when they get the Constitution and see the change that their gallant idol has undergone. And this sad change is to he charged to the Constitution. For tiie ('(institution’s ar tist evidently did it with ltis little hatchet; and the hatchet needed grinding, too. The next section of nightmare is an al leged wood-cut, under which appear the the words, “Nathan Crawford Barnett.” People who know this gentle and benefi cent-looking Nestor of the capitol, whose whole contour beams with an unspoken blessing upon his fellow-men, will feel little sympathy with the caricaturist, who has given the good old man a mouth thgt is shaped like the cow-catch er of a locomotive, and a face that has less animation and expression than a pone of bread. It is a shame that a man whose hair lias grown white as snow in the service of his state, and whose very name is a synonym of integrity, should have his old age ruffled and mortified by seeing in u daily paper over his own name, an alleged wood-cut which looks more like the picture of an exploding bombshell than it does like the face of a secretary of state. Treasurer Robert l’. Hardeman is the next victim. He is a man who will not allow himself to be imposed on, and we don’t believe he’ll submit this time. He lias a large circle of kindred who must suffer this indignityalongwith him. And if Colonel Boh appears on the streets some day with a scalp dangling, like a watch charm, at his belt, people may know that the Constitution artist has been slain with his own tool; that his hatchet can draw blond if it can't draw pictures. The alleged wood-cut of Col. Hardeman, who is really a handsome man, is a faithful, but somewhat exagger ated, picture of the convict who led the recent strike in the Dade county coal mines. We wouldn’t say this in print if it were not for the fact that the convict mentioned is in for life. Tiie next dark spot in this page of crime is where the Constitution’s artist has done it to Attorney-General Clifford Anderson. The artist evidently attacked this gentleman from behind when he took his picture. The mouth, cheeks amj chin look a good deal like the hack of the neck of st^uie man who was turn ing his best side to the world when he was photographed. Attorney-General Anderson knows the law, and if there is any redress in the state for a man who has been assaulted with a jack-knife und a hatchet, in his absence, he’ll have it. The Constitution’s artist's latest off spring is his worst. He wound up his gallery of portraits of the state officials with a picture of Hon. William Ambrose Wright, whom he evidently hates worse than he does any of the rest. Mr. Wright has doubtless done the artist some great wrong in the past. But the artist is ev*i with him now. At first glance the pic ture of Mr. Wright seems to represent a deserted nail-keg with a cabbage on it. But it is a picture that grows on you. And any connoisseur can easily see that if the picture was properly framed and hung out in some lonely spot the owls would strike at it all night for an old hen. Those of us who were not nominated for a state office had a lucky escape. Little did the nominees, amid the ap plause and congratulations they received, think that the Constitution’s artist, in a few days, would be among them like a roaring lion, seeking whose picture he might take. Death is no longer the king of terrors in the Gate City. Men ignore and forget death in their frantic effort- to dodge the wood-cut harpy . the Constitution, who impales the innocent man and the eftn- didate alike upon bis burning spit. Shoot him. VACUA XT V. ' ' it is said that Chief Connolly, of the At lanta police, is winning golden opinions by his recent sitcces-ful attempts to make vagrancy unpopular in Atlanta. The curse of many of our towns is vagrancy, in the country neighborhoods of the south a vagrant is soon spotted, at\d the unexpressed contempt of the neighbor hood, sometimes accompanied by more demonstrative persuasions, makes it un comfortable for him, and he “moves on.” The consequence is that vagrants cling about town like filings to a magnet. They lose their identity in the great throngs; they hide their self-imposed dis grace amid the foibles of the multitudes) and they enjoy a certain immunity from public displeasure by the fact of their obscurity. Men who are idle became they cannot find employment do not merit and, in most cases, do not re ceive the contumely that i- put upon vagrancy. Such men deserve assistance, and in a country like ours are not liable to sutler, before they can obtain work. But there is u large class of aimless men who sacrifice their self-respect to their indolence, und live upon the in dustry or the credulity of others. This is morally a crime in itself. But the trouble is that the criminal classes are recruited from the ranks of vagrancy. The old adage about an idle mind being the workshop of a certain horned and tailed monster is illustrated almost daily. From indirectly living a dishonest life to becoming a positive factor in the commission of a theft or some other crime, is but a step. Va grants are criminals in the formative state. Time incubates them. It is easier to crush the egg than to catch the eagle it will hatch out. Let our authorities he alert for vagrant-, Men who refuse, when they are able, to provide homes for themselves should have one provided by the city or county. But it should be a jail, not an alms house. l’OUTU'Al, I’RATTEE. East Tennessee puts forward five or six candi dates for the office of governor. Judge Seney, of Ohio, announces himself in favor of repealing the civil service law. New York democratic politicians generally fayor holding a convention this fall instead of letting the committee make nominations. General Clinton B. Fisk thinks he will receive as many democratic as republican votes for gov ernor of New Jersey. The republicans don't think so. Tiie Albany News and Advertiser says: “Milt Smith was withdrawn as a bellowsed horse, and Milt Candler nominated Gen. Gordon.” If our cotemporary had read the Enquirer-Sun it would not apve made itself ridiculous by such a foolish assertion. The New Orleans Picayune predicts that in five years the liquor traffic will be suppressed in a large majority of tbe counties in every southern state. Lieutenant-Governor Black, of Pennsylvania, says the democratic platform of that state will speak out In unequivocal condemnation of sumptuary laws. General Gordon was escorted to the hall lean ing on the arm of Pat AValsh. Pat’s on the big side again.—News and Advertiser. It is a cold day when Pat gets left. But may he Brother McIntosh wasn’t notified tojstand firm to Bacon, ns there was a principle involved far beyond that of personalism. I The Fayetteville (Arkansas) Sentinel says: J ’’Col. Byrd Smith is announced as a candidate for congress in this district. Col. Byrd Smith is the greenback party of the northwest. Sometimes tiie sun don’t rise, but Byrd never misses run ning for congress.” This reminds us cf the Har ris county legislative field. Rev. Dr. Leonard, leader of the Ohio pro hibitionists, should keep out of the way of news paper men if he objects to seeing his words in print. As it is, he will soon have a reputation as the great repudiator of interviews. The recent capture aud plunder of a Dutch I vessel by Chinese pirates is a striking commen- I tary on the fact that the railroad system of China is in its early infancy. If American j m ethods of watering stock, securing subsidies J and managing construction companies had been I introduced there, the necessity of transacting piratical business at sea would not exist. But China moves slowly. Perhaps by the time her ! railroads are fairly started the means of chcck- | ing the present attending practices will be in- | vented and the Chinese roads can be managed | without these accompaniments. j Says the Philadelphia Times: Senator Blair is 1 at it again. It is not pensions this time, nor j southern education. Blair has still another hobby taller titan these. It is an amendment to the i constitution of the United States, prohibiting, after A. D. 1900, the "manufacture, sale and im- | portatiou of distilled alcoholic intoxicating I liquors.” That extraordinary committee on edu- ! cation and labor that has evolved so many won- | derful schemes has now gravely brought forth j this proposition, accompanied by one of Senator Blair's most astonishing reports.

The missile fired into her was a large rolling stone, and the last words heard from the captain were, “Gray, please don’t move uptown.” All the small fish can do is to murmur. In getting up this re action in business the public will notice we did not get up the big rush to the Trade Palace by making a run on cheap cotton goods, but hit the trade right with fine Wool and Linen Goods, so as to prove to all classes of trade we deserve the name of the Regulator! of Low Prices.

We brag on our Ladies’ Black Silk Brilliant Lisle Hose at 50c. And our Balbriggnn Hose at 20c cannot be matched in town for the same money. Our object is to establish the one price system, not ten prices. So as the pilot steers clear of the rocks, so will he whose price is bent on success avoid maelstroms of high paces, which have swept whole generations of master minds from aifiueuce to beggary, from greatness and grandeur to the oblivion of the grave.
