This is Che view of a conservative and well-posted railroad man of Au- -Ma. William Walter Phelps, 'ex-minister to Germany, says that the New York newspapers’ now vie with each other as to which shall •make the most personal mentions. With the appetite growing on what it feeds, Mr. Phelps asked, Can per sonal journalism stop its downward Bi triumphant Sun the New York di letch and portrait and this ignoble of satiety ? , mother of the late f New Orleans, is dvanced age.

His death caused the uprising which resulted in the lynching of thirteen > Italians at the Parish prison three years ago. Miss Minturn, of the Burnham industrial farm, stated at a confer ence on the care of children in New i York that the only corporal punish ; ment allowed in that institution is ( slipper spanking, “the moral effect ’ of which lay in the fact that the ' slipper is taken from the foot on the . spur of the moment.” And also in the fact that in the hands of the matronly expert it feels like a pair of . spurs. A woman’s hand is pretty valua ble. Many a man has given up all he possessed to get one, but that was sentiment, not law. An Illinois woman recovered $4,700 for the loss of a hand, or at the rate of $9,400 a , pair. This is somewhat more than woman’s wrists are valued at. A Miss i Jones, a nurse of Chicago, was paid . for one fractured wrist at’the rate of ’ $2,000 a pair. ' A letter written with one’s own hand is considered more respestful [ and courteous than any other. 1 Bishop Barrington, whose hand • writing is execrable, wrote to a cor respondent: “Out of respect I write to you with my own hand, but to 1 facilitate the reading I send you a > copy made by my amanuensis.” The Emperor of China became t slightly ill recently and summoned four members of the Imperial Acade } my for Physicians to his bedside. > Their diagnosis and treatment were so displeasing to his Majesty that he decided to cut their salaries from the civil list for a year. A tunnel nearly two miles long, cut through solid granite, has re , cently been completed at Hagerman Pass, Col. It pierces the divide of the continent. It cost $1,000,000 and twenty human lives.

Kt is an event important enough to at tract her majesty to Manchester. The canal was projected in 1888. Liv erpool has 490 acres of docks, and these would, many of them, be left desolate if a ship canal were built that should carry steamers directly past Liverpool to Man chester. Therefore the dock and railway interests set themselves against the oa nal with all their combined force. The matter was brought before partilament, and the opposing interests fought the thing out tooth and nail. The canal company spent $600,000 trying to per suade parliament to give it a charter. It is not claimed that this was used in ac tual bribery or “promoting” the canal, as was the case in the Panama affair, but experts were brought from all over the world to show that the project was feasible. The American Captain Eads among others received a fee of $90,000. At last the canal won, as progressive en terprises do finally . Our Commercial Supremacy. Mr. John R. Proctor, writing in The Forum, says that England seems to be either trying to fetter the cqjßmerce of the world or insure the good behavior of mankind by acquiring strategic points ill over the world and fortifying them, in addition to having coaling sta . tions scattered through all the oceans. He does not like to see England having everything her own way. butjieclares ' that the United States sboulaenter the 1 struggle for commercial supremacy and wrest it from the mother country’s grasp. He mentions a fact rather to ! our discredit, as follows: A New York i merchant not long since to ship a cargo of cannel coal from Norfolk to ' Rio Janeiro and found that he could send it from Norfolk to Liverpool, then . reship it to Rio Janeiro cheaper he j could send it direct from NorfoW to that place. The United States now M THE ROME iKIBONk WEDNESDAY MORNINY NOVEMBER k 9. 1893. per cent of all the coalfields of ths Civil ized world. In 1891 the United States turned out 34 per cent of the world’s output of pig iron, England only 80 per cent. The United States produces 80 per cent of all the cotton grown. Yet we only manufacture one-sixth of the world’s supply. Great Britain manufac tures three times as much and distri butes throughout the world not only that product but nearly all the rest. Mr. Proctor does not believe that the war caused the decline in the American merchant marine. ' It began before the war, he says,.-- immediately following 1856. The cause of the decline he at tributes to the immense development of our own west and south and the build ing of many railways. This gave a more profitable investment for our capi tal than the putting of it into ships for commerce. Now, however, producing so great a proportion of the world’s raw material, it is our duty to get back the commerce we formerly enjoyed. The first step toward this is the completion quickly of a canal across the isthmus, thus connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Mr. Proctor does not believe in a tar iff. He says that England’s commercial supremacy on the seas dates from her adoption of free trade. But Great Brit ain subsidizes her ocean steamers liber ally on condition that in case of war they form part of her naval reserve. To match this Proctor thinks our govern ment should aid in building the isthmus canal, and then allow to pass through it free such American ships as agree to form part of our naval reserve. The first case unaer tne new Russian extradition treaty has been settled with credit to the United States. Nine con victs recently escaped from Siberia and after horrible sufferings found refuge on American ships bound for San Francisco. They were landed there in due time. Then the attempt was made on the part of the Russian authorities to make the men out criminals of the worst sort. One was a counterfeiter, it was charged; another an embezzler; still a third a murderer, and so on. This was natur ally the resort of a government not scrupulous in its diplomatic and detect ive methods. It was the fear of such misrepresentations as this that caused the American public last year to protest so vigorously against the ratification of the new treaty with Russia under the form in which it was presented. How ever, in case of the refugees at San Francisco, the American government de cided that they were bona fide political prisoners in Siberia, and that the United States had no right to hold them. Th* Russian minister was notified of this de cision, and Secretary Carlisle ordered the release of tha men. ■< 111 Hr "jj'. *./•*-'*' *-3 i , • *•»*<►•''’-** j ■FTTi 7'l i o- A: huts, Ga. Trial by Jury, Instead of a jury of twelve men, we propose to empanel the whole public, men and women, and simply ask them to read the testimony and make up THE VERDICT. Now for the testimony. Dr. Martin, of Atlanta, testifies that he has used Stuart’s Gin and Buchu In his practice with fine results, and that he has even cured Bright’s disease of the kidneys with it, after all other remedies failed. Dr. Fontaine, of Rex, Ga., testifies that he has been prescribing Stuart’s Gin and Buchu for some time, and that it is the best remedy he knows for kidney, urinary and all bladder troubles. Dr. E. L. Mobley, of Atlanta, testifies that he suffered for years with some ob scure kidney trouble, which at times gave him great pain and suffering. Al though he tried ill manner of remedies, both regular and irregular, he found no relief until he took STUART’S GIN AND BUCHU. It made a perfect cure.
