It is generally admitted by everyone who was at all familiar with the recent clerkship race that the United States sena torship was as much involved as the clerk ship. In other words, Governor Atkinson made a last stand in an effort to demon strate his strength by the election of Frank Callaway. Os this there is no sort of doubt, although the Atkinson forces, of course, tried io deny it after the land slide. i- ■ But the facts speak for themselves and the results also apeak with equal force. It was apparent to everyone from the start that Governor Atkinson was merely making a test of his strength by putting up his man Callaway. In other words, there was a great deal more involved in that race than the election of a clerk. The best political opinion agrees that Gover nor Atkinson has his eye on Senator Ba con's seat, and a great deal more than the mere defeat of John Bolfeuillet was, therefore, involved in the clerkship fight. The Atkinson and anti-Atkinson forces lined up accordingly, and the result shows just bow much the Atkineon influence Is worth —to the man against whom it is di rected. It Is a significant fact that Calla way's vote for clerk was the same as Judge Spencer Atkinson’s vote for gover nor—Just 26. And this is taken to repre sent the exact Atkinson strength in Geor gia. 'Boifeulllet’s election was not only a vic tory of the most flattering sort for the Bibb man, but it was a crushing blow to the Atkinson contingent, who had muster ed their forces from every section of Geor gia. It is still the talk of the state, for never was a forlorn hope more pens latently and even arrogantly contended for than was Callaway's clerkship candidacy—'the ditch at which the Atkinson forces made their last stand. In this connection, it is interesting to note that 'Hon. Fleming duißignon was in Atlanta working for Bolfeuillet. Some say he was onto Atkinson’s play for the sena torship, and was determined to keep the governor snowed under, and to heap it up as high as possible by helping to give Bolfeuillet an overwhelming majority. Evidently, however, Senator Bacon did not take the same view of the situation, for he took no part whatever in the clerkship race, nor were any of his friends present. But had he been there he could not have failed to see the connection between the clerkship and the senatorship. it Is said the women of New York are for Roosevelt. This will be some consola tion to him after the votes of the other sex have been counted. How They Size Up. (Whatever may be one’s opinion as to the probability of war between Great Britain and France over the Fashoda question, it is nevertheless interesting to note Just how each of these great world’s powers is equipped for such a struggle. Since the victory of Nelson over French and Spanish at Trafalgar England has been clinching her hold on the title “Mystress of the seas." 'At the beginning of the year ehe had this immense force on the waters: Thirty first-class, seven second-class, twenty-one third-class battleships; four teen coast iM'fense ships; nine armored cruisers; sixteen first-class and sixty-four of the second and third-class cruisers; nineteen lookout ships; thirty-four torpedo gunboats; 147 flrst-class, four second-class and twenty third-class torpedo craft; a total of 385 as her fighting strength. France Is not so far behind in point of navy as might have been expected. The French have built ironclad vessels with feverish haste, too. She has eighteen first class, ten second-class and nine third class battleships; sixteen coast defense vhii*a; eleven first-class, fourteen second class and two third-class cruisers; twelve lookout ships; thirteen torpedo gunboats; QIS first-class, seventy-eight second-class and forty-five third-class torpedo craft, a total of 347 with thirty-eight different kinds of war vessels now in process of construction. Great Britain’s principal supremacy, aa may be seen, is in the larger vessels. On shore France has decidedly the ad vantage. Militarism has dominated the republic for many years. Every citizen must have had more or less military ex perience. (Her peace strength is placed at 646,044, The force* in Algeria and Tunis make the footing 615.413. The number of men liable to military service is as follows: Active army and its rsesrves, 2,350,000; territorial army, 900,000; territorial reserves, 1,100,- 000; a total of 4,350,000, of which 2,500,000 “would be available in the event of war. The regular army of the United King dom consists of 163.569 men. Besides these, subject to call there are the reserve auxiliary force, such as the militia, the yeomanry, cavalry and the volunteer corps, which, with the regulars and the establishment in India, make a grand total of 718,798, of which 665.344 were effective ot last report. ,J rhlS . discrepancy ln nu “l>crs arises from be militarism in France already referred to, and would have to be made up in Eng land by a recruiting of land forces to the number required.

A prohibition communication published today makes the plain, unvarnished state ment that there are thirty-two “blind tigers" in Bibb county. If thia fe true, it la a serious reflection on the courts and county officials. The prohibition is is are bold In their chargee, and even go tso far as to state the source of their information. They say the Internal revenue books prove the existence of thia number of “blind tigers" in Bibb county. Surely there ought to be away to put a ■top to this sort of thing. What are our grand juries for? Is it impossible for these bodies to ferret out these violations of law? If so, what will be the Mate of affairs if these blind tigers are increased five or ten fold in number? But let us look to the present and rem edy the evil that is alleged to exist al ready. Mho are the gentlemen who charge that thirty-two "blind tigers” are doing business In Bibb county? is it not their duty as good citizens to tell all they know about these violations of the law? The next grand Jury meets within a few days; why not ask these gentlemen to appear before that body and make good their charges. If, as they say, thirty-two “blind tigers" exist in Bibb county, then there should be thirty-two new recruits for the Georgia penitentiary. By all means let the next grand jury look into this mat ter. Editor O'Neil, of the People’s Voice, Blakely, although a Populist, gives notice that he will vote with the Democrats in the congressional election on the Bth of November. Trying to Shield Him. And now eome newspapers are trying to explain why Jake Beach resigned his posi tion as prison commissioner just a few hours before Governor Atkinson went out of office. They evidently realized that this last act of the Atkinson administra tion has thoroughly disgusted the whole state, and that it is necessary for the few friends left to Governor Atkinson to say something In his behalf. But the explanation does not explain. In the first place, it places Mr. Beach in an absurd light to say that he resigned because he could not have his way about the selection of a penitentiary site. But even If such an explanation could be ac cepted, it would still not excuse the bad taste displayed by Governor Atkinson in filling the vacancy thus created, in view of the fact that he, himself, was >to retire from office within a few hours, while the new prison commissioner would serve through and beyond the incoming admin istration. No, had Governor Atkinson been more a statesman and less a politician he would have left the place for his successor to fill. In fact, had he observed the ordi nary rules of official courtesy, he would have refused to act on such an important matter on the eve of retiring from office. We don’t believe there is another man in Georgia that would have acted in such bad itaste. What is the use of trying to defend At kinson in this master? He has deceived no one. The whole thing was clearly under stood th/ moment it was annouacsl And It Is the unanimous verdict that Atkinson 'fixed it” order that ha mtgkt fix up bls fences in Wiregrass Oevgu. It >e by far the most disgraceful thing that has occurred in Georgia since reconstruction days, and it has called forth righteous in dignation throughout the state. Those who are talking about the issues which Mr. W. J. Bryan represent* being dead should read the following from the Bufialo Times, showing with what enthu siasm his name js greeted in the East. The Times says: “When 'Mr. Stanchfu d referred to ‘the hero from Nebraska, the Hon. William Jennings Bryan,’ the audi ence got right up out of the seats and cheered with as much enthusiasm as though it were a national campaign, and Mr. Bryan present in person as the candi date for president. It was a significant manifestation of the hold Mr. Bryan and the principles he represents have upon the minds and convictions of the people. It was a convincing denial of the statements that be is forgotten by the people or that they have lost interest in the principles for which he stands.” Same Jones is going to take a hand in the Macon prohibition, election. Macon’s 'Diamond Jubilee will not be a circum stance to the lively times there are in store.—Augusta Chronicle. We don’t believe that even Sam Jones can add anything to the abuse that has already been indulged in. Manager Hertz, of Euclid Avenue Opera house, Cleveland, Ohio, has stopped all forms of advertising except in newspapers. Since then every seat in the house has been sold in advance. Chicago managers are watching the outcome with a view of following the precedent establsihed by Hertz. ELASTIC ENGLISH. Haw the Meunlnß of Sqnie Common Words Has Deen Changed. Professor Whitney says there has been less structural modification of the English language in the second half of the nine teenth century than in any other 50 rear Ceriod of its existence. The vocabulary as been enormously enriched, but the skeleton of our speech has been only a lit tle developed. It is with the vocabulary that Brander Matthews deals in his essay. He quotes Professor Lounsberry’s remark: “The purest of speakers use every day with perfect propriety words and forms which, looked at from the point of view of the past, are improper, if not scandalous." This is a fitting preface to a discussion of the changes in the vocabulary taking place at the present time, some of which are noted by Mr. Matthews in these words: Once upon a time to “aggravate” meant to increase an offense. Now it is often , used as though it meant to irritate. For merly “calculate, ” as in the sentence “It was calculated to do harm,” Implied a de liberate intention to injure. Now the idea of intention has been eliminated, and the sentence is held to be roughly equivalent to “It is likely to do harm.” “Verbal” Is slowly getting itself accepted as synony mous with “oral,” in antithesis to “writ ten.” “Lurid” is really “pale,” “wan,” “ghastly,” but how often of late has it been employed as though it signified red or ruddy or bloody? These words are specimens of the long list which is used by the ignorant or un thinking, incorrectly, but which careful writers use according to their proper sig nificance. The Tutor protests against the carelessness which says “aggravate” for “exasperate” or “irritate, ” for example, and pleads against recognizing such inac curacies of speech as legitimate changes In the vocabulary. Another word mentioned by Professor Matthews is “unique.” Sayshe: “Unique is getting to imply merely ‘excellent,’ or perhaps only ‘unusual.’ Its exact etymo logical value is departing forever. ” It is true that we see in print such expressions as “more unique” and “most unique,” as if “unique” were an adjective capable of being compared, but the tutor hopes that the case is not as bad as Professor Matthews represents it. “Unique” is a word of too great value to permit it to lose its strict significance. It comes from the Latin “unions,” one, only, single, and it means having no like or equal; unmatch ed, sole, unequaled, single in its kind or excellence. “ Every great man is a unique, ” said Emerson.—Exchange.

"When things are “the best” they become the “best selling.” Abraham Hare, a leading drugigst. of Bellevue, 0., writes: “Electric Bitters are the best selling bitters I have ever handled in my 20 years experience.” You know why? Most diseases begin in disorders of stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, blood and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up the stom ach, regulates the liver, kidneys and bowels, purifies the blood, strengthens the nerves, hence cures multitudes of mala dies. It builds up the entire system.

A gwxl story comes from Paris about a descent made by the police on a crowd of vagabonds who had taken refuge in one of the quarries connected with the works of the new Alexander 111 Bridge over the Seine. They came upon a curious sight. By the light of two candles stuck into empty bottles, which represented the foot lights of a very roughly improvised stage, the company of vagabonds were playing the “Misanthrope” of Moliere to an ap preciative audience of the usual type of vagabonds to be found in such quarters. The leader of the troupe had once been a director of a theater in the provinces, but he had become bankrupt and fallen so low in the social scale that he had become a vagabond himself. The dramatic instinct, however, was so strong that he had form ed a troupe among his companions. Ths leading lady had once been a star in a minor theater in Paris, and that was some 50 years ago. The part of the Ingenue was taken by a young scoundrel who flourishes under the name of the Turco. The play was in full swing when the po lice descended and swept off the major portion of the company and audience to the police station. The main regret of the director seemed to be that he had not been able to ring down the curtain on his most effective scene. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of A Millionaire Beggar. The wealthiest living professional beg gar, Simon Oppasich, was in 1893 sen tenced to seven years’ hard labor for per jury. He was born without feet or arms, and his physical defects brought him ex ceptional sympathy and cash. In 1880 at the age of 47 he had saved $60,000, and in 1888 he had by speculation increased his fortune to $125,000 in cash and some $200,000 in Triest and Parenzo real estate. Since then he has quadrupled his wealth by trading on the bourse.—Paris Figaro. «msineas man, who 'ork at nine in the orning, takes an >ur for lunch and aves for home at >ur or five in the iernoon, little un derstands the hardships of the life of the former, who starts to work at break of day and frequently works on into the ht by lantern it man to endure hardships of a ner’s life, must be robust physically at the outset, and if he would live a lonjj life, always keep a watch ful eye upon his health. He should re member that it is the apparently trifling disorders that eventually make the big dis eases. It does not do for a hard working man to neglect bilious attacks or spells of indigestion. If he does, he will soon find himself flat on his back with malaria or crippled with rheumatism. Dr. Pierce’s Qolaen Medteal Discovery is the best of all medicines for hard working men and wo men. It makes the appetite keen and hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver ac tive, the blood pure and rich with the life giving elements of the food, and the nerves strong and steady. It builds firm muscles and solid flesh. It is the greatest of all blood-makers and purifiers. It cures mala rial troubles and rheumatism. It is an un failing cure for biliousness and indigestion.
