As to Mayor Collier.
It begin# to look like a man cannot ex
press an opinion concerning the advan
tages or disadvantages of prohibition with
out making somebody mad. A case in
point is Mayor Collier, of Atlanta, who, in
answer to a letter addressed <to him by
Mayor Price, of Macon, undertook to give
his views as to the effect of prohibition In
Atlanta. This letter seems to have brought
down up upon Mayor Collier the wrath of
the prohibitionists, and they propose to
"show him up” some night this week. We
are not Mayor Collier’s champion nor apo
logist, but it occurs to us that our pro
hibition friends make a mistake in assum
ing that because a man does not accept
prohibition as being the best solution of
the liquor problem he is, necessarily, a
“liquor man,*’ or is Influenced by some
ulterior motive. This seems to be their
Intimation as to Mayor Collier, and yet
we doubt if it is justified by the facts. In
the first place, Mayor Collier has never
alligned himself with the so-called “liquor
element,” but, on the contrary, has always
been recognized as being In every sense n
representative citizen of Atlanta. So much
so that the was chosen for the presidency
of the Atlanta Exposition Company, which
position he filled with great honor and
credit to himself and to the entire satis
faction of everyone connected with that
great enterprise. He is one of the leading
business men of Atlanta and his word
would be accepted anywhere.
We mention these things, not so much
to defend Mayor Collier from the attacks
of tho prohibitionists as to show the value
of his testimony when he says “high li
cense and strict regulations” is a better
solution of the liquor problem than pro
hibition Itself. This Is our own opinion
and wo are naturally resentful of the idea
that anyone entertaining this opinion “be
longs to” the liquor element. We do not
believe Mayor Collier is any more an ad
vocate of whisky than we are, but he has
a right to state bls views us to the relative
merits of high license and prohibition.
And we do not hesitate to say that we
agree with him on the proposition that
high license and strict regulations are
preferable to the no license and blind
tig* r system.
And yet we are not willing to be put
down as an advocate of liquor, for we
uro not. We will go as far as any one else
to promote temperance. We simply be
lieve that high license and strict regula
tions will do more to this end than will the
other system. This, as we understand it,
is also Mayor Collier’s view. To attack
him, therefore, is ‘to attack others who,
quite .as conscientiously, think as he does.
We have already commended Mayor Col
lier’s views to the mayor and council of
Macon, in the hope of inducing them to
adopt a system that will regulate the sale
of liquor in Macon as it should be regu
lated. We now appeal to the temperance
people of the community to insist upon
some such plan of reform. In this way we
may accomplish something of real value
to the community and of benefit to all our
citizens. Otherwise W'e will probably ac
complish nothing, except to keep the com
munity wrought up for the next several
months.
Now Russia and Germany are trying to
bring about strained relations. But iwe
will never have any more confidence in a
European quarrel.
Protectorate Over Egypt.
Now that France has given in, it is be
lieved that Lord Salisbury will proceed at
once to establish a protectorate over
Egypt. This is the step which Bismarck
advised Gladstone to take years ago. The
relation of Great Britain and Egypt is
anomalous. It has maintained since ISB2
an occupancy, and over-lordship as to ad
ministrative matters, which constituted a
virtual protectorate, yet Egypt has re
mained nominally a part of the Ottoman
empire. The khedlve ranks at Constan
tinople as an hereditary provincial Vali,
or governor. The sublime porte has al
ways protested against Great Britain’s oc
cupancy of Egypt. France also has de
nounced it, although the powers have
agreed that it did not constitute a causus
belli. lit has been from regard for French
susceptibilities that the English govern
ment has hitherto refrained from pro
claiming the protectorate, which existed
in all respects except in law. The holders
°I Egyptian bonds in France, of whom there
is a large number, would not be displeased
with such a step. Os course, Turkey would
protest, but that would not amount Co
anything. The situation would be further
cleaned by such action on the part of
Great Britain.
Vie beg to suggest that Atlanta extend
a special invitation to Lieutenant Colonel
Myrick and Colonel Berner to attend her
peace jubilee.
Chief Boifeuillet.
Council did the right thing last night in
voluntarily voting a fifty days leave of
absence to Hon. John T. Boifeuillet. thus
disposing of the chief of police matter for
the time being. Mr. Boifeuillet made no
effort whatever to retain the position after
being elected clerk of the House of Repre
sentatives. so that council’s action is all
the more a compliment to him, it being
the voluntary and unanimous opinion of
that body that he was entitled to a little
extra consideration under the circum- :
stances.
As is well known. Mr. Boifeuillet had to
make a long and expensive fight for the
clerkship, and although successful he will
• not be able to enjoy any of the benefits of
the office for some time to come, so that
it is no more than right :hat his home
people should stand by him in the matter.
But, aside from his personal rights in
the premises, it is a conceded fact that
the city could not improve upon the pres
ent chief of police. In fact, to have to
make a chnage now would work a distinct
disadvantage to the city, and council
rightly concluded that it would be wiser
to grant the chief a fifty days leave of
absence rather than dispense with his ser
vices altogether. He has made one of the
most efficient and popular chiefs that ever
filled that position, and we believe almost
I everyone will be pleased at council’s ac-
I tion. ,
Weatßer forecast: Sam Jones and warm
er tomorrow night.
Lieutenant Colonels.
The gra ifying announcement is made
that Governor Candler does not propose to '
prostitute the title of lieutenant colonel i
by paying off political debts therewith, as
some of his predecessors have done.
There was a time when to be a member
I of the governor’s staff was an honor that
any Georgian might feel proud of, but of
Late years the title has been conferred
mainly on political workers of the suc
cessful candidate, many of whom failed to
measure up to the standard of citizenship
which had always been considered requi
site to such an appointment.
Governor Atkinson used these staff ap
pointments solely as political patronage,
and managed to gather about him the
largest and most varied assortment of staff
officers ever before known. His prodigal
ity in this matter might have proven a
good thing for the uniform makers, had it
not been that more than two-thirds of
the eighty or ninety lieutenant colonels
created by Governor Atkinson did not
created by him did not think enough of
the compliment to invest in a uniform.
In limiting the number of staff appoint
ments, Governor Candler will bring about
a welcome change; one that will make the
title of lieutenant colonel mean something.
Spain refuses to give up her pawn ticket
on the Philippines.
That was a pretty bluff France made in
the Fashoda affair.
Spreads Like Wildfire.
You can’t keep a good thing down. News
of it travels fast. 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. Puts
new life and vigor into any weak, sickly
run-down man or woman. Only 50 cents.

PROSPECTORS LOST.
Lo»t the Trail and Got Into the Quicksand
. Banks.
By Associated Press.
Victoria, B. C., Nov. 2 —Frank J. Walk
er, of Atlin City, who came down by the
Farraton en route to Chicago brings mea
gre news of a story current when he left
the north of the loss of a phrty of seven
Californians headed by A. F. Englishart,
of Pasedena, from which locality all hail
ed originally.
The casualty occurred in a swamp lying
between the new gold fields and the term
inus of steam navigation from Bennett
lake.
As nearly as could be ascertained the
party lost the trail being inexperienced
backwoodsmen and wandering into quick
sand forming the bed of a dry creek were
engulfed.
A searching party was sent from Atlin
City to investigate but nothing had been
heard from them when Walker left. The
names are not obtainable.
A Sure Sign of Croup.
Hoarseness in a child that is subject to
croup is a sure indication of the approach
of that disease. If Chamberlain's Couch
Remedy is given as soon as the child be
comes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough has appeared, it will prevent the
attack. Many mothers who have croupy
children always keep this remedy at hand
and find that it saves them much trouble
and worry. It can always be depended
upon and is pleasant to take.. For sale

FAVORABLE DECISION.
To the Creditors of the Defunct Bank at
Milwaukee.
By Associated Press.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 2—The state su
preme court in the case of (Banker John
Barth, of the defunct South side Savings
Bank against John Graf and other bonds
men of Banker John Koetting, has render
ed a decision in favor of the plaintiff. The
case involves over SIOO,OOO in property of
Banker Koetting which his bondsmen tried
to dispose of but were restrained from
doing so pending a decision of the court.
The decision is favorable to the creditors
of the bank which failed in July 1893.
New Selections.
The wise elocutionist is now laying in
her winter stock of selections. We say
“her” because tho masculine elocutionist
has become rapidly extinct since the regu
lations against lynching were so easily
evaded. This has left tho business largely
in tho hands of a few professional women
and a largo number of promising ama
teurs. In a community with as many
churches as ours it is our proudest boast
that lovely woman is not amenable to re
straint in tho same degree that ruder man
is; hence the number of uninterrupted re
citers.
But the coming season offers a pleasing
diversion from the prevalent monotony of
the art. A brand new lot of selections,
all founded on tho war, will be launched
upon a patient public. There will be,
among others:
“The Boy of El Caney.”
“ The Dying Marino” (piano accompani
ment).
“The Child of Guantanamo.”
“The Tale of a Turret.”
“Tho Powder Monkey of the Bomba
seen. ”
“The Mule of Matanzas” (with imita
tions).
“What Captain Philip Said.”
“The Bursting of the Dam” (dedicated
to Captain Bob Evans). —Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

Captain Barnaby of the United States
coast survey steamer Blake tells a charac
teristic anecdote of Captain Robley D.
Evans of the United States battleship
lowa. While aboard the Blake at Key
West Lieutenant Commander Edward D.
Tausig, hydrographic inspector, went
alongside the lowa, which was lying eight
miles off the port. Hailing Captain
Evans, who was leaning against a rope
lift* line which had been substituted for
the rails removed in case of action, Mr.
Tausig askeef the doughty commander if
he had any message to send to the depart
ment at Washington, an ho would leave
for there next day.
“Tell them for me, Tausig,” said the
captain, “that I have a cargo of ammuni
tion on board the lowa that I am mighty
anxious to be allowed to discharge.”
The reply produced a laugh, which was
heartily joined in by the bluejackets on
the lowa who were grouped nt-or the cap
tain. The message wr-s subsequently de
livered, and it was not long alter that the
cargo of aromunitien w.s being vigorous
ly discharged from the icwa.

A Philadelphia Fish Story.
While fishing in the Schuylkill river the
other day Harry Davis, a Bridgeport lad,
caught a huge but singularly deformed
eel. It was long enough to be knotted
about the fisherman’s waist and as thick
in places as a man's wrist, but in the mid
dle, where it should have been thickest,
the eel was no bigger than a baby’s finger.
On examination Davis found at the place
of deformity something hard and metallic.
H<- scraped off the slima and brought to
light a broad gold band—a wedding ring
—with the inscription: “Paul to May,
1890. Mizpah.” Evidently the eel in its
very infancy had either been caught, en
circled with the ring and then returned to
its element, or else the ring had been lost
in the river and the eel bad contrived
somehow to get it on.—Philadelphia Rec
ord.
Millions Given Away.
It is pertainly gratifying to the public t
know of one concern in the land which
is not afraid to be generous to the needy
and suffering. The proprietors of Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds, have given away over
ten million bottle of this great medicine;
and have the satisfaction of knowing that
it has absolutely cured thousands of hope
less cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse
ness and all diseases of the throat, chest
and lungs are surely cured by it. Call on

How She Reasoned It unt.
“If I should go to the bad place, ” she
said, “I s’pose my wax doll would melt.”
‘ It surely would,” replied the elder,
who thought there was a chance to Im
press a lesson upon her.
“Well,” she returned, with a sigh, “I
guess I’ll have to be good, then!”—Chi
