O’flces: Corner Second and Cherry Str l) THE STATE TICKET. For Governor, ALLEN D. CANDLER, of Hall. For Secretary of State, MARK A. HARDEN, of Bartow. For Comptroller-General, W. A. WRIGHT, of Richmond. For Attorney-General, JOSEPH M. TERRELL, of Mer riwothor. For Treasurer, W. M. SPEER, of Fulton. For Commtsioner of Agriculture, O. B STEVENS, of Terroll. For School Commissioner, G. R. GLENN, of Bibb, Tomorrow is ground hog day. If he sees his Shadow, winter will linger in the lap of spring for sometime yet. The Macon Telegraph and Senator Caf fery stand on the same platform. This is a fine nucleus for a new party. Macon can well afford to patronize hom< Industries when they beat all com petitors in price and quality of work. It seems too .- id to think that there is nothing < I.m William Yates can run for during the next three or four years. The Chicago Times-Herald puts it this way: "It Is understood that David Bennett Hill 1; preparing to emerge iong enough to find out whether he can see his shadow or not." Postmaster General Gary has issued an order changing the color of the 1-ccnt stamp from iblue to green. Now prepare for a howl from the A. P. A., remarks the Philadelphia Times. Lillian Lewis says that a Spanish assas sin Is on her track and Intends to annihi late her because of the Cuban play she is presenting. It is doubtful if anyone who has had to see Lillian act will attempt to Interfere with the Spanish assassin. Mr. Caffory, of Louisiana, was the only Democratic senator that voted against the Teller resolution reaffirming the legal tender quality of silv< r and reiterating the fact that, the bonds of the United States and its other token money are re deemable in gold as well as silver. But. then, Caffery no longer deserves to bo classed as a Democrat. A bargain day has been established in Italy for the sale of titles, notes an ex change. American (all wool or shoddy) (heiresses can now purchase a Prince de Vermicelli for 8,000 plunks of current United States coin. A Duke de Hot Ta male can be had for -1,000 silver certifi cates, each calling for one silver dollar. Counts (principally no accounts) can be Iliad for any old rag bearing the govern ment's one thousand dollar mark. Other titles in proportion, and as a prize, a monkey goes with every purchase. As 'then- is no telling bow long this bargain day may last, title hunters had better ap ply now before the best bargains are gone. Dr. Nansen discusses in the February 'MdClure’s the 'future of exploration in the direction of the north pole. His conclusion is that the pole "can be reached without too 'great difficulties. either by ship drift ing with the ice across the Polar sea, or by the 'help of dogs and sledges from the Greenland side.” He enforces this con clusion with recitals from his own ex perience in getting 195 miles nearer the pole than any other .man has got (except Johansen, who accompanied Nansen,) and the article is as interesting ms it is val uable. It is illustrated with numerous pictures of people and scenes of the far north drawn or phatographed from life, some of them by Dr. Nansen himself. For once the Ijondon Times gets a focus on the financial situation in the United States. The free silver votes in the sen ate are, as it says, the more portentous because McKinley has just renounced bis silver faith. Those votes were east, in fact, in direct reply to the president’s speech at the banquet of the Manufac turers' Association in New York, where at a $15,000 table in a Ji0.000.000 hotel and in the presence of a thousand men representing nearly a billion dollars of capital, he went over finally to the gold standard. It was a blow full in his face that the senate dealt, and it was meant to be such. The assurances of the Hannaized executive will doubtless fix his own course, but the uprising in the senate suggests that the course of the people will be quite different. Gold was on the banquet table but silver in in the air. The Pythian Lodge Secret publishes a fine picture of Supreme Representative < arling, of Macon, and comments on his refusal to accept the chairmanship of the Board of Public Works of Macon as fol lows : -n view of the scramble for such offi ces in some other cities, the above letter will be considered a remarkable document and very complimentary to the author, but in declining the position Brother Carling •was actuated by a sense of duty, which he so plainly sets forth in his letter of dell nation. The city council, realizing their loss in his refusal to accept, adopted the following resolution. • • * j a this connection we will note the re cent appointment of Brother Carling by Governor Atkinson, as one of the ten trus teees of the State Lunatic Asylum. Os the ten members cf the Board, seven were re appointed, Brother Carling being one of the three new members." Although recognizing the fact that the New York Sun is a very provoking mem ber, the Memphis Commercial - Appeal feels that the New York Tribune is in clined to indulge in personal remarks about the editor of the Sun. Here is what the Tribune says: "If time, space and inclination permit ted.” says the New York Times, "we could continue almost indefinitely the list of blunders noted recently in the Sun.” No use. One is enough. That’s the monu mental mistake that was recently made when a father’s foolish fondness installed as its editor a conceited feather-pate who thinks be is doing something heroic in standing out doors bareheaded denouncing the elements and burling imprecations at the weather, whereas the current comment is that he doesn’t know enough to go in when it rains. He thinks he is “Ajax de fying rhe lightning.” He isn’t. He is a jackass defying common sense with both feet and his ears lopped back.” I Ik'* Sheriff’s Advertisements. Beginning today The News will publish a’l the advertisements emanating from the cd.i -e of sheriff of Bibb county, and also those .-manating from the office of the sheriff of the city court. The appearance of the sheriff’s a Iver tisements in The News, by hi a written authority, constitutes this paper a legal organ tor all advertising of a na ture, and guardians, administrators, ex ecutors, trustees, receivers and others are notified that The News will make a spe cial price for all such advertising. Many, recognizing in The News the only Democratic paper published in Bibb coun ty, have already seen fit to favor it with as much patronage of this character as ;*G3slble; but now that any and all legal advertisements may be published in The News with full authority of i aw> -jbe News confidently expects to do the bulk of .his business in Bibb county. Remember, The News can save you a few dollars on all advertising of this character, and, at the same time, secure lor you more readers in Bibb county than any other Macon paper claims. Death Knell or G'jid Democrats. Those who have contended that the feller resolution aw all to no purpose have maue a mistake. Aitnougli the House promptly killed the measure, it has served, as is easily shown, to unify the Demo cratic party, or, at least, the representa tives cf me party in me Senate. lue Atlanta Journal’s Washington cor ie.-.pendent writes very interestingly of the efiect of the Teller resolution in mig con nection, ana as a semi-euitoriai utterance from an extreme gold standard newspaper it is higaly important and significant. The Journal nankly admits mat me National Democratic party (so called) is toe dead to ever kick again, it says the vote on me itlier resolution sounded the death knell of the National Democratic party. Even the erstwhile members fear as much. Gafteiy stands out alone, tne only feJ ld Democrat to vote as he professed in the l>a:t. iScnator Gray made a significant re mark the other day when he said that tau i; publicans would never rest satisfied un til they had driven every gold Democrat to vote tor free silver. He disclaimed his intention of ever do ing so, but bis vote on the Teller resolu tion was a step very much in that direc tion. Continuing the Journal’s correspondent 7'“' 3 ' ’?' ue fact chat Lindsay, Gray, Mitchell, and in fact all the gold Demo crats save Cattery, voted with the silver iKmocrats, is taken as a sign that these m n are coming back to the party to stay. Os course they claim never to have l«ft Lae party, but be that as it may, they are very close to the old organization now. 1 hey have never been excluded from the party caucuses and the caucus prac ally settles the pfilitieal status of a man. Lindsay s statement ‘that no man could a.ford to vote against the resolution unless he was willing to become merely an at (.i hment to the Republican party ana that he would never be willing to occupy such a place’ fixes his place pretty clearly. "The gold Democratic organization has long ago fallen to pieces, owing largely o the fact that Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, who was at the head of it, did not possess the confidence of the men who would give it position and dignity before the country. As Senator Bacon says, the vote on the j ell. i resolution practically unifies the party while it contributes co the disorder m the Republican ranks." io Drive Out the Trusts. If trusts and combines are as inimitable to 'Che interests of the people as they are generally admitted to be, it follows that it is the duty of our law making bodies to drive them out of existence, if possible. Both the (Republican and Democratic parties have repeatedly declared their op position to the trusts and combines, but the former has never yet raised its hand against them. It now has an oppor tunity to do so, and thereby prove its sincerity. Or, if it refuses, it must stand convicted of fostering tiiese agencies of oppression. The opportunity is furnished by a bill introduced in Congress by Mr. Green, of •Nebraska, which is more sweeping iu its character than any anti-trust legislation ever attempted. It makes it a felony to monopolize or to attempt to monopolize or combine or con spire with any others to nionoplize, any part of the trade or commerce among the states, or with foreign nations, -and the making of every -contract, agreement or combination entered into by any persons, firms, corporations or combinations of per sons as a trust or otherwise, ito restrain trade or commerce or limit or control the output or price of any article of com merce. It names a penalty of SIO,OOO fine, or from two to fifteen years’ imprison ment. The bill confers jurisdiction on the sev eral circuit and district courts of the United States, and any state court having common -law jurisdiction, and forfeits to the United States property they owned under such contracts, etc., and in course of transit interstate or to -a foreign coun try. Mr. Green’s bill is calculated to prove a fair test of the Republican party’s atti tude toward the trusts. The Republicans have the power to make it a law, and thereby wipe out the trusts, but nobody can believe that they will do any sueh thing. Or if they should slip the halter and vote as their consciences -must dictate, the chances are ten to one that it-he su preme court, itself swayed by corporation influences, would declare the law -uncon stitutional. Cost of Nicaragua Canal. 'A cablegram to the New York Herald from Managua brings gratifying news of the government commission now engaged in looking over the route of the Nicaragua canal. The report is that the commissiou has decided that the canal can be con- V V _ i < -iA N V / oli Ati apt o’d adage de clares that woman’s work is never done. This is true cf the housewile’s manifold du ties and ap proximately true of the tliousa nds who work all day in factor ies and stores and half the night in making and mending their own clothes or sewing for others to patch out a meagre income. Women who are toe much on their feet, or who are unable to stand the strain of over-work and worry, are peculiarly susceptible to the weak nesses and irregularities that are the bane of womankind. The symptoms of such derangements are insufficient or excessive menstruation, headache, backache, neu ralgia, leucorrhoea, displacements and ex treme nervousness amounting in many cases to hysteria. The use cf morphine is dangerous and examinations by male phy sicians are painful and unj 'easant.

Four and a half to elx and a half years are required to build it, and four thousand eight 'hundred laborers are needed to commence the work. These, the commission thinks should be divided in-to groups of 2,200 between Rio Juan and Castillo, 1,800 between Corinto and No momtembo and 800 in Managua. Seventy million dollars was the amount originally estimated as the cost, but a committee of engineers that examined the route a few years ago, reported that near ly twice that sum would be required. Now the •present commission thinks the work can be done for $40,000,000. We are patiently waiting for Editor Sto vall's "Impressions of Mexico," —from the goldbug standpoint.

Had the ques tion been asked a dozen years ago—in this country, at any rate—the answer would have been much more simple, for then it could have been said that Wagner alone had written opera, and that the works written by other composersand designated by tho same name were not opera at all. But during the last few years, and espe cially since the Metropolitan Opera House was reopened by Messrs. Abbey, Sohoeffel & Grau, with the splendid ensemble of artists which carried opera at that institu tion to a point of artistic and financial success never previously known in operatic annals, there has been a change. The public, while still accepting Wagner, seems to be unwilling to ignore the operatic works of other composers as being, as the ultra Wagnerian disciples would have us believe, inartistic, unmodern and out of date. Although it has been said, and said with emphasis, that the operas which might be included under the generic term “Italian opera’’ were, to all intentsand purposes and so far as any influence they might have on the future of operatic art, dead and burled, the course of events at the Metropolitan during late years has shown that they were not even moribund, and that they were able to attract and retain a very large, if not the largest, share of pop ular interest, appreciation and support.— Reginald de Koven in Scribner’s.
