Patriotism always managos to stand in with the government. A noon inanv politicians appear to he boycotting the Chinese laundrymen, judging from the shirts they wear. Two deaf and dumb men in Chicago are great chums and inseparable com panions. Strange, when they are not on speaking terms. Uarni m has the best show on earth, but in heaven it is quite likely that he will haw ■ no better show than (lie rest of the circus people. It is said the coming cow will have no horns. That will be wonderful. But (he most miraculous prediction of all is that the coining man will take none. New Orleans is engaged in moving some of her bad people, but she is doing it on the principle of the slatternly housekeeper who sweeps the dirt into the corners. A noon many people in Coin in bps may want the earth. But they don’t want it thrown in their faces by every breeze and buggy that comes along, as they have had for the last three weeks. A novki.ty in the lino of aldermen is suggested. The Philadelphia Ledger says : “ The Noiv York World wants ‘substantial citizens’ to come to the front and choose as their representatives in the board of aldermen men whom they would not be ashamed to be seen walk ing with on the street. That is not a very high standard, and yet if it eould be attained there would be quite a visible improvement made in the board of aider- men. A similar rule might lmvo wide and wholesome application to voters ev erywhere.” The trouble with this is that substantial citizens lose shame ■where money is concerned, and will not , j M' 1111 >dl others to In-in; hesitate to lie seen talking to or walking ; condition, is a tit man t "with aldermen on tile street when they lnfve a jot i on hand. It takes no very 1 bright man to see that when a capitalist j supports a had man for olliee—as lie fre quently docs—lie wants to work him, and probably does work him. THE PENNSYLVANIA SHOW. The fact that James <i. Blaine recently traveled six hundred miles in order to make athroe-hundred-mtle triupjval tour through Pennsylvania, carries with it an unexpressed significance which no ob server of current events can fail to read between tho lines. Mr. Blaine’s fore runners had advertised his coining with the assiduity of circus agents. Great crowds thronged the depots of the towns in which his train stopped, and the now historic “personal magnetism” machine which the Maine man is supposed to wear somewhere under his clothing, was run" on full time and played for all it was worth. In every speech lie struck telling blows for the monopolists of coal, iron, and rail roads, who practically own the country through which he was “starring.” At least Mr. Blaine declared with tliat ve hemence which is born only of n hope for favors yet to come, that his belief in the gospel of protection was unshaken as of old. Tho republican press of Pennsyl vania had “learnt its piece” long before the feather-topped knight arrived, and it recited it well. Mr. Blaine was spoken of us possessing all the graces of Clay, all the virtues of Lincoln, and all the stern devotion to principle of Andrew Jackson. How the sha.es of these mighty worthies, if they can communicate with earth, must squirm at this profana tion of their honored names, The truth of all this liippodroming is this: The republican party leaders are awake to the fact that the party, which lias been without a respectable issue for twenty years, is about destitute also of a respectable candidate. They are aware that their most prominent leaders now in olliee arc too vulnerable l'or one cause or another to be risked as presidential candidates, and they arc casting about for the most available man. That Mr. Blaine is deemed most available is evident. And the fearful strait into which tho party has been driven for can didate material is illustrated in the fact that the defeated candidate of’84 is con sidered the most available man for ’88. Mr. Blaine has gone through tlie mill of our presidential cajnpaign, and the ides of November, ’88, will only prove anew that— “The mill will never grind With the water that is past.” Mr. Blaine is an able man. Nobody doubts his ability. But Providence ap pears to have used up his backbone in making his brains. His career either in public or private life cannot bear close scrutiny. His brilliant intellect is a Godlike attribute, but it only enhances the disgustone feels in contemplating the man’s character. If aihdavits are worth anything, Mr. Blaine is an immoral and dishonest man. This fact does not pre clude his being a typical representative of the republican party, but it will pre vent in the future, as it. has in the past, his election to the high office of presi dent. The republican party is on its lust legs. It is nearing tiie verge of ruin. And James * 1. Blaine, who helped move it to its present lead it over the precipice nail out of sight forever. We say, on with t ho Pennsylvania hippo drome, and let him be nominated with out opposition. THE SCHOOL LOCATED. The technological commission lias de cided hi locate tho school in Atlanta. One of the provisions of the bill author izing the school was tliat it should he lo cated in the city offering the state tlit? greatest inducements. This was construed by tiie committee to mean that the high est bidder should have the school. The bids were put in, carefully examined, and Atlanta wins. Under these circumstances Atlanta is entitled to it. WORTH ONE MILLION A WORD. BABY'S SKIN Important llsrlslon of the I’ennsylTontn Supreme Court. Affirming the Deere* ForhnMIng Hie TniMfer of the South IN'inm} Irani. Itouil to the I'.nn.ylranlii IliiflroHil Company. Pittsbuhcih, October 18.—The supreme court of Pennsylvania this morning ren dered a decision in eleven words, which are worth more than 81,000,000 each to the parties in interest. The appeals of the Pennsylvania Ituilroad Company and the Northern Central Railroad Company from the llauphin county common pleas court, which was the Bet ell creek ease, and the appeals of the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany, the -.edford and Bridgeport Rail road Company, and the PennsylvaiiiaC’om- pany, also from the Dauphin county court, which were the South Pennsylvania cases, were dismissed by tho supreme court. Tue decisions wore verbatim as follows: “Appeals of the Pennsylvania Railroad — . Company, the Bedford and Bridgeport ! know now, what it was. Pmally.we were ad- Railroad Company, and the.

All ordinary remedies fal big, wecalled . nur family physician, who attempted to cure it but it sp. cud with almost incredible lapidity, tin i'I the lower portion of the little fellow’s person. J'rom the micidh of his back down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly, painful, blotched and i malicious. We had no rest at night, no peace by day. The physician did not know then, and does Not withstanding these there are many reasons \\ stipulations, iieh combine j to make Atlanta the proper place for it. We have never believed that it was the part of wisdom for MEItn Kill ANARCHISTS. It is absolutely certain that some of | the citizens and odicers of Chicago were murdered during the lluymaikct riot. To discover and punish the murderers and their accessories before and after the fact, should have been, as it was, the first and unceasing aim of every decent man in Chicago and that community. This was done, and after an exhaustive investigation lasting for weeks, flic crime was fixed upon certain anarchists of that \ city ; they were found guilty of murder, | and that in the most diabolical form, and were sentenced to be lmng until thev arc the state to make such provisions as that feature which made the competition run so high, and we must confess our surprise at the manner in which the voting for its location was done. But with this Atlanta has nothing to do. Tiie enter prising citizens of that city saw the great benefits to result from such an institu tion, and they have promised a liberal investment to make it a success. Wo believe they»will do it, and it will Help Atlanta, and they have secured it from a purely business standpoint. • None need affect to believe that At lanta is not one of the most progressive and enterprising cities in Georgia. Until a very short time since that city was esteemed a marvelous success, and only the fact that some of her own repre sentative citizens have attempted to de spoil her fair name and disparage her business industries, none would have thought otherwise than conceding At lanta to he tiie leading city in progress in tiie state. Happily such disparagements have been promptly met and every Georgian should feel a pride in Atlanta’s success and pros perity. The school will be all and per haps more tliun it could have been if lo cated elsewhere. As Columbus did not feel disposed to put in a bid for it, it is doubtless entirely satisfactory to all our people that it should be located in At lanta. That it may meet with the high est success is the general desire, and we believe to this end Columbus will con tribute her full share. The safety nf human life is the tirst I condition precedent to the existence oi a ! free government. This should be appre ciated by every law-abiding citizen on the American continent. The effect of tiie discovery and tho punishment of the murderers above alluded to would lmvea most salutary intlnence in teaching tiie lesson that this is a country in which murderous riots are not tolerated. Under these circumstances the authorities in power should be slow to listen to appeals for mercy in their behalf, coining from uny source whatever. Of all men they have shown least mercy to those whose life thev brutally destroyed. “Why wouldn’t it he a good idea to in troduce the English custom of hissing in theatres, at least for special occasions, and give Miss Cameron a real English welcome?”—Boston I’ost. That is rigid: let Boston start the hissing. But Lord Lonsdale, who is responsible for one of the tilings, will he dined and wined, and received in society and at the clubs be cause lie is English, you know. It never occiirs to society to turn its back on men of bad character—had lords, for instance —the old Adam spirit of Boston wants to hiss the woman. The oldest beauty out in society is likely to be called the chestnut belle of the ball. Next. company, commo . picas of Dauphin eoun ty, C. P., May term, 1888. Decree alHrmetl and each appeal dismissed at tiie cost of appellants. “Appeals of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and lhe Northern Central Rail road Company, Dauphin county, C. P., May term, 1888. Decree afilrmed and each appeal dismissed* at the costs of the ap pellants.” The decision of the court sustains that of Judge Simouton, granting at the instance of Attorney-General Cassidy a preliminary injunction forbidding the transfer of the majority of stock in the South Pennsyl vania Company to the Northern Central Railroad Company. The latter company’s road is the Pennsylvania railroad’s line from Harrisburg to Baltimore. It also forbids the transfer of the majority of stock in the Beeoli Creek, Clearfield and Southwestern company to the Bedford and Bridgeport Railroad Company, a small branch line controlled by tne Pennsyl vania railroad. This leaves the South Penn sylvania system in the hands of the origi nators of the scheme. Tiie controlling in terest, although nominally in the posses sion of the Vanderbilts and their friends, is now said in reality to be controlled by the minority party, which favors the com pletion of the road. The Vanderbilts being desirous of settling the battle be tween the New York Central and the West Shore roads, agreed to sell South Pennsyl vania and Be-.ch Creek to the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company if they in return got the West h >ro. The latter part of the bargain was carried out, and tho West Shore is now controlled by the Vander bilts. it is said that they are not sorry that they cannot fulfill their part of the bargain, and it is also said that they are willing to go on and complete the South Pennsylvania. The recent construction of branches of the Pittsburg, McKeesport and Youghiogheny toward the line of the South Pennsylvania seems to carry out this view. It is said that tiie Pennsylvania Railroad Company can now have the case go before a master, and take testimony as to whether the injunction 9hall be made permanent. Should this be decided against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, as it probably would be, then the case could be taken to the United States supreme court. Judge Simonton decided that the company had not power to deal in south Pennsylvania stock be cause it was a parallel ana competing road to the Pennsylvania road, which owns the Pennsylvania company. This decision is said by a railroad attorney to be a violation of the charter rights of the Pennsylvania company, and hence it can be taken to the supreme court of the United States, on the doctrino laid down in tiie Dartmouth Col lege case, which doctrine, however, is prac tically not now held by that court. MILD FORMS OF IDIOCY. Some Siiieiini'iis of Several Varieties Familiar to Next People. In the more offensive forms of mild idocy there is always this disregard of the well- being of others. There is the peripatetic idiot, who is always stopping to talk to somebody else in the middle of the side walk or on a frequented cornor, taking pains to do this when the streets arc full est of pedestrians. There is tho dramatic idiot, wh i sits behind or in froriUof you at the theatre, and keeps telling tiis coinpan- ion what the actors are going to do next. There is a female species of thisjgenus who may be tne supposed intellectual wife of a husband of well authenticated stupidity, to whose enlightenment she devotes dur ing the progress ot the play all her atten tion. Her volubility exceeds that of a thousand-dollar-a-yenr commercial trav eler, and her voice is of that carrying, F-in alt kind that aggravates the listener more than the filing of a saw, or a pine splinter vibrating in the winter wind. Let it be to tiie discredit of its sox that the musical idiot is usually a mule, if you j have an tar for music and it is a favorite I opera, he t ikes pains to sit beside you,and I when tlie marvellous voice of tne great tenor or ihe astounding organ of the Von- I derful soprano is going up like Shelley’s | skylark, he be its time with his leot and | emits harsh, guttural sounds that he • thinks resembles the air of the singer, i The exquisite joys of music are ev- 1 aneseent at tho best, and the mu- j sical soul is sensitive to the slight- i est. discord. Nothing can be done with I a pachyderm of this species. There are i fools and idiots so strangely constituted that they will not believe they are fools j and idiots even if you tell them. His is one I of that kind, and the law alas does not al- j low you to kill him, nor can lie be put in a I dark cell, like the prisoner of Chillon, and I fed on moldv bread uni tainted meat till his discordant life fitly ends in a iingeritiY death. There are other forms of music: 1 idiocy which are cl,played in acrobatic feats at untimely hours or the piano, in tampering with that exquisite instrument, the violin,and eliciting ear-piercing sounds from the flute. But the types are too com monplace fo.i scientific classification. S >, also, are those types of idiocy that open all the windows in midwinter and insist on having them nil closed in midsummer. But the forms aud phases of idiocy that characterize advancing years—the simper of old maidenhood, the girlish affectation of matrons who should have learned some thing in a past full of stern experiences, the weakness for the front now that char acterizes baldness, and all the little urti- liees by which one attempts to wage a losing battle with time—lack interest and repel sympathy. With rarities not men tioned, there is enough material to make a work like Agassiz’s ‘‘Fishes” or Audubon’s “Birds,” and he who devotes his time to it will be sure to make money and may en hance his fame.—San Francisco Chronicle.
