Extraordinary Powars. it will .ooiier or later occur to our peo i. “it has mH already, mat we are con- Hini.g tire.; extraordinary powers upou Its most important provision coolers tioubk Nothing like it has ever Delore . u seen oi heard of in the history al . .public even when more serious dan gers threatened than are involved in the pr< sent situation. It is extiiinely doubOful if these powers at< being wisely conierrid, and we may hnd it out warn too late. Certainly the lath'is of the republic and our ablest st.di snien u;i to tiie present time never allow, 1 themselves to Income so inflamed with passion as to tolerate any such cen tralization or power as is now taking place every day- with the tacit consent, at least, if not approval, of tin people of this coun try. For Instance, a bill has been reported fa vorably by the house committee on mili tary affairs, and is regarded iwith com mendation by the chairman of the similar committee in the senate, granting the president Jurisdiction over the militia and national guard in the various states when a foreign war is in progress. A contem porary says: matters in case of a sudden outbreak of power on tiie president in the event of a foreign war to order the national guard di rectly into the service of tiie I ni'tid States without first calling on the governors of d e states. This change would expedite ard time, spring began. That Is to say, at hostilities. It may be a more expeditious way to call out the state military organizations, but it would be a most emphatic violation of law, of precedent, and of the constitu tion itself, seriously eonmnents an ex change. Should 'the president have need for troops from the states he must first decide the number he desires, and tiie length of the term of service, unless sooner dis charged, for which they shall be mustered, die must then fairly divide the number called for into quotas for each state to UH, according to the number of men in that state liable to military service. Then if the term of service is stated to be one year or more than ninety days, there must be the usual volunteering or drafting in the states to fill these quotas as prevailed during the civil war. The seizure 'by the president of the or ganized military arm of the states, na tional guard or otherwise, would never foe tolerated. , An attem.pt on the part of the president to order the First and Second Gergia regi ments to Tybee or elsewhere, in ease of in vasion, without Governor Atkinson’s con sent, would be revolutionary. (It would foe placing at’once upon the Georgia troops the immediate possibility of repelling an j invasion, while the troops of Nebraska or j (Missouri remain undistunbel until events j force their participation in the struggle. In ether words, if Spain, as she no doubt would, should first attack our southern coast, then southern tj’oops, being the most easily available, could be ruslfed to the front, while those in the north or west could remain at home perhaps for an in definite time. And yet congress actually proposes to confer such powers upon the president. If, however. Governor Atkinson or any other governor, refuse to comply with the pres ident's ■demands, they would in all proba bility be upheld by the supreme court—be cause the extraordinary and revolutionary powers conferred upon the president are clearly unconstitutional. Mrs. Richard Hoyle, of London, is just a little hard on her sex. She says: “Where fashion is concerned, the world of women arc utterly callous and blind to every con sideration except their own selfish vanity.” It Rests With Governor Atkinson. No matter what may be the Pardon Board’s recommendation in the case of ■Mrs.* Elizabeth Nobles, the feeble-minded old woman who is condemned to die on the gallows next fc’riday, the responsibil ity for her death or for commutation of sentence, as the case may be, will rest upon the governor of Georgia. The Pardon Board can only make a re commendation, kind this is not necessarily binding on the governor, no matter what it may be. If it is for commutation. Gov ernor Atkinson must still receive credit for this humane act. If the decision is for death on the gallows, as already decreed, Then still Governor Atkinson must accept responsibility for abiding by the Board’s decision. Mr. Marion Harris, the brilliant young attorney who has fought so valiantly and so ably to, save the state of Georgia from the disgrace of such an execution, empha sized the governor’s responsibility in the matter when arguing the case before the I’ardon Board last week. In his speech before the Board he said: “I am conscientiously opposed to the hanging of women and must emphatically dissent from the judgment of my friend Glenn, who says that demanding equal rights in these latter days they must suf err equal wrongs with men. Long years ago a woman was hung in this state; and Fate laid her 'heavy hand upon rhe head of that governor who sat in the ehair of state upon the day, more than thirty years ago, when that young woman stood on the gallows at Americus and gave up her life to pay the penalty of her crime. From that day to this the people have called that governor—not the judge who presided at the trial, nor the solicitor who prosecuted, the case, nor any juror who found the verdict, nor any justice of the supreme bench, which affirmed it; but the governor, who failed to commute the sen tence, who having mercy in the hollow of his hand yet withheld it—the people have called that governor “the man who hung a woman.” • • • Let this be a warn ing to Georgia’s present governor that the people of this great state are too brave to allow again the fair name of Georgia to be blotted with another ugly spot like that which has marked and blackened her ■history since the day when Siir-an Eber hardt swung from the end of a hangman’s r°P«” .

And yet I it he were weak they wouldn’t be so 1 1 ay< r to bring about .• u -h an arrangement. : And, strange to say, they are sorry that ! ae has betrayed what they are pleased to ; wall his weakness. Verily, the ways of the peanut politician are dark and incon gruous. The Atlanta Journal and the Macon Tel egraph are sore over the fact that the primary has been ordered at an early date. This fact will confirm the Democrats of Georgia in tHb opinion that the early primary is the right thing. Able Bodied Pensioners. In a sj.asm of patriotism G. A. R. de partment. commanders throughout, the country ate offering the president ten, fif teen and twenty thousand abie-bodied survivors of the Civil War as volunteers to Spam. These offers of so many able-bodied veterans are not only inspiring from a patriotic standpoint, but they are inter esting from another standpoint, .is prac tically every survivor who fought m or followed the Union army during the civil War is drawing a pen&ion for some ability or other, it is highly interesting to know that so many of them are ‘‘able bodied” and eager for another fray. As someone has observed, the mystery of the pension system is inscrutable. In a letter from Klondike to the Port Huron (Mich.) Times, the writer says: ‘T must be going back to our own perk and beans, as $5 a meal is more than 1 can stand. Some nun struck town today with thirty-three cariboo and sold the bunch for $1.50 per pound. Lamp oil is worth SSO a gallon; candles have taken another jump, and one of the dance halls has shut up, as they have no light. Wood sells for $25 to $35 per cord, and whisky from SSO to SBO per gallon. Dogs are worth almost ■any price; any old kind of a dog will bring from $l5O up. A good sleigh dog will bring from S4OO to S6OO. A saloon was robbed a tew nights ago of $23,0C0 in gold.” The United States consul at Amoy, China, in a letter to the San Bulletin, makes some startling statements regarding the condition of things in that country. He ridicules Germany’s emperor and his brother, Prince Henry, and in re lating the circumstances of England's ob jection to Russia's occupation of Port Arht'.tr, says: “It has been so long since England fought a nation whose men wore pantaloons that the sight of an anticipated enemy that is not dressed in breechclout or turban causes palpitation of the heart.” Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts', has in troduced a hill to prohibit the importation into the United States of birds or their feathers for ornamental purposes, under a penalty of SSO for each offense. But it is doubtful if this bill will afford protection to the American bird iXrlth ornamental feathers. For women will follow the dic tates of fashion, even if she has to accept the home product. ■Emperor William having• gotten a good sized slice out of the treasury of Hayti, has now turned his attention to Liberia. In other words, no nation is too small or weak for the present vacillating ruler of a great and powerful nation to bulldoze, comments an exchange. Minister Polo couldn’t bluff Judge Day. When he asked the assistant secretary of state if it was true that warships had been purchased from Brazil, and on re ceiving an affirmative reply, asked again "What for?” Judge Day promptly respond ed: • "To replace the ’Maine.” On Sunday morning last, March 20, at 8 ' o’clock 25 minutes 8 seconds, central stand* ard time, spring began. That is tosay, at that exact instant of time the sun crossed the equator on his northward journey, and day and night will he equal. In other words, it was the vernal equinox. The city of Milwaukee will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its birth in June. The jollification will be on a huge scale and the whole civilized world is invited to x-isit at Milwaukee from June 27th to July 2d, an I assist in making Jt a hot old town every night. The Philadelphia Times suggests that "Yankee Doodle” and "Dixie" he arranged as a medley. Twain as s> Liar. Mark Twain, 2n "More -Tramps Abroad,” tells how he lied out of a con troversy about Scottish dialect. In a dis cussion with some strange Scots he re marked that the peasantry pronounced three “three,” and not “thraw.” “There was a moment of astonished and ominous silence; then weather ensued. It was a bad defeat for me. It promised to remain so, but I bad a saving thought. While the storm was still rag ing I made up a Scotch couplet and then spoke up and said: ‘Very well! Don’t say any more. I confess defeat. 1 thought I knew, but I see my mistake. I was de- i ceived by one of your Scotch poets.’ ‘A Scotch poet! Oh, come! Name him.’ 'Robert Burns. ’ It is wonderful the power of that name. These men looked doubtful—but paralyzed, all the same. They were quite silent for a moment, then one of them said, with the rever ence in his voice which is always pres ent in a Scotchman's tone when he ut ters the name, ‘Docs Robbie Burns say —what does he say?' ‘This is what be says: “ ‘There was nae bairns bitt only three— One at the breast, twa nt the katv.' It ended the discussion. There was n > man there profane enough to say any word against a thing which Robert 1 Burns had settled. There are people who think that honesty is always the I best policy. This is a superstition. ” I have been afflicted with rheumatism j for fourteeen years and nothing seemed to give me any relief. I was able to -be around al Ithe time, but constantly suf fering. I had tried everything I could hear of and was at las* told to try Chamber lain’s Pain Balm, which I did. and was immediately relieved and in a short time ■ ; cyred.

Dawbarn said that until sur geons hud learned of tiie experiment and tho invention they had not known of any satisfactory way of treating patients for shock following surgical operations. “Although-so great an advance has been made in the science of surgery in the last hundred years, ” said D) . Daw barn, “little has been atltledtotbosurgeon’s knowledge of treating shock. Many more persons have died of the shock following tbo oper ation than from all the other effects of the <l; >t at ion combined. Now t hat we have the)'suit of these expel 1 it.cuts and this invention, we need no longer fear death from shock. The doctor has experimented' with a solution of salt in witter. When 1 learned of the result of his experiments, 1 procured one of his syringes fitted with the double tube. I have used this in 12 or 14 cases In the hospital after serious major operations. The operation performed, 1 would open a vein and irrigate it with the. saline solution. In every case the patient did not suffer from shock at all, and in each ease the patient is now well. Ido not think it would have been possible to save some of these patients from death from shock had I not known of the doc-' tor’s appliance and his experiments.

The prin cipal of tbo educational institution was prepared by his appearance for some un usual ideas. Hy took off his fiat crowned hat and making a bow observed: “1 look like a crank, don’t I?” ’ "I—l don’t cai;e to venture an opinion,” replied the principal. “That’s till rir’it, sir. You won’t hurt my feelings in tbo least. I have been called a crank so ofter. that I’m used to it. 1 \i. r,i< riy when I’d have an impression that I badn t heard somebody else men tion, I used to struggle to conceal it. But I have got over that. tell my own thoughts out pl-tialy and let people think what they like. You attend to the educa tion of young boys?” “Yes'” “Well, do you use copy books?” “Yes.” “Would money bo any inducement to you to try and educate a boy without em ploying them?” “Why, 1 suppose wo could teach him to write in some other way.” “[don’t want you to.

You see, he has an uncle in the diplomatic service, and with his assistance 1 hope to secure a similar career for this boy. My heart is set on making a diplomat of him and I wish to remove from his path every possible temptation to write personal let ters.
