The Atlanta Journal gives place to a recent suggestion of a mode of defeating the Force bill, which it thinks can cer tainly be made effective—if not in pre venting the passage of the bill, at least in circumventing its operation. The sugges tion is that, in the event of the passage of the bill, the Democratic States shall choose their Presidential electors by their Legis latures. The trouble with the suggestion is taht it does not deal with the main and most iniquitous feature of the bill. Tho Republican party in plan ning this usurpation of the rights of the people, had an eye to the theft of Congres sional districts. The design of the bill was that the Republican party at Wash ington should dictate wLo should repre sent any given Democratic district. There is nothing more important to the Demo cratic party than to control the lower house of Congress, and the elections occur every two years. The election of Presi dential electors by Democratic Legislatures could have no effect on the Congressional elections,and that is where the Force bill is expected to do its iniquitous work. The Democratic States may be relied on, in any event, to select Democratic electors, but how about Democratic Congressional districts? The better way to defeat the Force bill is to strangle it in the Senate this winter, if the Republican party ven tures to press it to a passage. Of that, however, there is doubt. The people knocked it out when they had the floor on November 4th. MISREPRESENTING THE SOUTH. this interesting question the New York Herald says: “ Long before Professor Koch published his new cure, as Nature in a late issue says, it was understood in scientific circles that he had abondoned the search for an antidote to the tubercle bacillus amon pharmacopceial remedies and was lookin for means of arresting the ravages of the disease causing germ among the waste products of the organism itself. This line of search was indicated by the discovery that the bacilli in their activity threw off materials which are inimical to the growth and life of the disease germ. These sub stances, capable of being utilized for the protection of animals from the disease which produces them are generally, if not always, albuminous. It appears strange, if this was Professor Koch’s line of the research, that the Vien- ua analysis of his lymph discloses none of the products of the action of bacilli. We are still left, therefore, very much in the dark. But for the imperfect hints given to the public it seems that Professor Koch’s method does not contemplate killing the tubercular microbe merely by attacking it with its own toxic waste products, but that he aims to excite in the lung tissues a resistance to the invasion of the bacilli, by which they are gradually thrown out of the system. There is thus solid ground for the belief that his cure is efficacious in consumptive cases in which the lungs are not too far gone to carry out this resist ance.” NEW PUBLICATIONS. Pennsylvania is getting ashamed of the shabby old capitol at Harrisburg, and the press is calling for a new one. If they will send a commission down to Georgia, they can get a mighty good model. A negro was arrested in Birmingham a few days since on the charge of being drunk and disorderly, who was sporting a metal badge inscribed, ‘‘The World and Budget Reporter.” The papeis are published in Charleston, S. C., and it is not likely this negro belongs to its reportorial staff. He is evidently a fraud, and must have stolen the badge. The Charleston World should look after the scamp. The Enquirer-Sun has received a neatly printed pamphlet of the proceed ings of the Southern Educational Associ ation, organized at Morehead City, N. C., July 1, 1890. The association was in ses sion four days, and the proceedings were very interesting. It was a grand success, aud is destined to accomplish much good for the cause of education throughout the South. The New York Sun is good at fake in terviews. Its recent effort in that direc tion to discredit Mr. Cleveland is fresh in the public mind. It has lately puolished what purported to be an interview with “ Hon. Robert C. Ould, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee.” Mr. Ould is quoted as saying: “I do not favor Cleveland for 1892. The South has an idea that Mr. Cleveland thinks he is bigger than his parly and they are willing he should think so. I would much prefer Hill.” The Sun foolea no one but itself in the alleged interview. If the interview had been genuine, it would have been a palpa ble misrepresentation of the feeling of the South toward Mr. Cleveland. But the interview was bogus. The chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee is Mayor J. Taylor Ellyson, of Richmond, and the only Democrat by the name of , rhymes. Mrs. Parker is the willow of ( ol. “Godey” for December is on our table, and all the fair sex are crazy to get it; no wonder. It is a real holiday number, and like a Christmas stocking, overflowing with good things.

Tretty work designs give many useful hints for making Christ mas gifts, while the whole household can not fail to be pleased with the good and varied Christmas reading. Now is the time to subscribe for 1891! Godey Pub lishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa. $2.00. * * * * The J. G. Cupples Company of Boston, will son issue a very dainty holiday hook entitled “Aunty’s Elfin Land.” It is a collection of fairy stories; or rather, the combined histories of three children, who had most strange adventures in the land of “Lhe little folk.” They are written by Mrs. Maria Hildreth Parker, and are illus trated by Hermann I). Murphy. The book will commend itself to those who are in starch of holiday gift3 for children who have outgrown the jingle of nursery grouping of historical elements, and its ex ceeding suggestiveness and power to stim ulate thought on the subject of which it treats—the importance of which can hard ly be exaggerated. This little work was noticed at some length in the Enquirer- Sun at the time of its publication, and va rious eminent men were credited with be ing the author. The secret is now out. The Alabama editor is naturally kind- hearted and will do anything to protect his subscribers from annoyances. The ed itor who makes the troubles of liis sub scribers his own is certainly a good fellow. We trust that none of the subscribers of the Enquirer-Sun are similarly annoyed, as there are certainly no newspaper bor rowers in Columbus. Every one fs, of course, willing to pay lor his own paper.

Hi VILLARD IS RETICENT. New Y'ork, November 29.— Henry Villard arrived today on the Aller, from Bremen. He was in good spirits but absolutely refused to talk about financial matters or the condition of the Northern Pacific properties. Col. Ben Terrell, the national lecturer of of the Farmers’ Alliance, denies that Presi dent Polk is working to secure the re-elec tion Senator Ingalls. He says Polk is a gentleman, and it would be contrary to the principles of the Alliance for him to meddle in Kansas politics. Colonel Ter rell should have put a plea of this sort in the capacious ear of I)r. Macune. a few weeks ago, when he trid to meddle with Georgia politics, The Chattanooga Times publishes a sen sational rumor to the effect that if the State of Georgia ignores the claim of the lessees of the Western and Atlantic for batterments. there is doubt if they will peacefully relinquish possession of the property when the lease expires. The Times is evidently ignorant of the situa tion. The old lessees aud the new lessees are practically the same parties, and the old lease will run into the new without any perceptible jar. But if the new leases had no interest in the old lease, there would still be nothing in the way of an easy transfer. The claim of the old lessees is no incumbrance whatever on the road. The State will deal justly by the old lessees, and if it owes them anything it will pay it, and is able to pay it wi h -m stcrificing the railroad property. And ! .t will take possession of the road on the 27th of De cember without any law suit. The successor of the late lamented and honored Rt. Rev. Bishop Beckwith will be selected hv a diocesan convention which will assemble in about thirty days at St. Luke’s church in Atlanta, at the call of the standing committee. This convention Is composed of the clergy of the diocese and three laymen from each parish in the diocese. There has been no talk as yet of a successor, hut it is probable in a few days the names of several candidates for the exalted position will be announced. Ould, who has figured prominently in Vir ginia since the war, was Judge Robert Ould, of Richmond, who has been dead many years. The Sun can be at better business than this, but its blind malice towards Cleveland leads in the direction of disreputable journalism. THE EMPIRE STATE OF THE SOUTH. A writer resident in New Orleans who signs himself “Georgian,” referring to an editorial in the Picayune alluding to Tex as as the “Empire State of the South,” says (while cheerfully according to Texas all the imperial distinction to which her vast territory and boundless resources fully entitle that State): 1 insist that “Empire State of the South” is a title long and honorably worn by the grand old Slate of Georgia, and lo Georgia, and not not Texas, does that proud title still belong by right of propriety, as well as popular custom. S<>, when you “render unto C’aisar that which is Ctesar's,” please do not strip from an other head any well earned laurel. This correction is offered in the best of feeling by a constant reader of your excellent journal. The Picayune, in printing the commu nication. makes this pleasant and graceful comment: Nobody not a born Georgian could more honor and respect the people and the State of Georgia than we. Georgia was the im perial s’ate of the South as Virginia was before it, but the scepter passes. Texas today, in point of population, extent of territory, production of cotton and Demo cratic voting majority, stands before all the other Southern States. And even now it is in the infancy of its development. We would not rob Georgia of the smallest sprig of laurel from the crown of its great ness, but we cannot close our eyes to the rising supremacy of the Lone Star State. The Ccesar of yesterday may not be the Catsar of today. Georgia is no less grand in history, in the achievements of war and in the triumphs of peace because others are great also. But Texas has sprung to the front in a decade and in right of ma terial power and development claims pre cedence. It is useless to fight against facts. THE MYSTERIOUS LYMPH. So far, Prof. Koch has kept a profound secret the composition of the wonderful lymph with which he proposes to cure con sumption. The new method, of course, has challenged the interest of the world, and from every quarter of the globe medi cal experts are swarming to Berlin to kneel at the feet of this new Gamaliel.

Some of the lymph was analyzed a few days ago in Vienna by Dr. Jolle and found to contain no trace of any metallic sub stance or cyamic compounds. Nor, says the technical report, were ptomaines, the products of the action of bacilli snd alkaloids, delected by the usual tests. Only substances, partly belonging to the class of peptones, albumens and non-organized ferments were found. On J. M. G.

Gil bert, a member of the Legislature from Muscogee county: Columbus, Ga., November 27.—Hon. S. P. Gilbert, Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sir: We. the undersigned telegraph operators at Coiuuibus aud vicinity, do most heartily endorse the bill introduced by Hon. J. T. Boifeuillett, of Bibb, prohibiting railroad companies from employing telegraph oper ators under eighteen years of age and one year's experience. The passage of this bill will, to a certain degree, ensure safety to the traveling pub lic, as so many of the wrecks are caused by incompetent “boy” operators; also will ultimately benefit our profession. We urge you, and our other Representa tives, to assist in its passage, and ask that you extend to Hon.

Lower. —— each clamp or terminal, the ends of which have been previously cleaned. One of these ,, clamps is rigidly bolted to the frame work n of the machine, the other is connected with a pair of hydraulic rams, which are supplied with water of any required press ure up to 100 pounds per square inch from a pump near by. This pressure can be regulated according to the size of pipe to be welded. When all is ready, the water is turned on to the rams, which then push the clamp and pipe against the stationary clamp, thus causing tlie two pipes to come wiio i together end to end: the electric current is | then turned on by the operator's foot, and j the resistence due to the joint gem rates a j high heat, thus softening the metal and , allowing the rams to sque. ze the pipes j still closer together. When the current has j been on for from 15 to 20 seconds the weld is completed. The action of the current raises a slight annular "collar.” which can be quickly tiled off if 'desired. The re porter was shown some specimens of pipe which had been welded; they showed no, signs of swelling such as is usually seen for an inch or two each side of a weld done in a tire, except the small "collar" before mentioned. The time taken for a similar weld done in the usual way is about five minutes. The ma chine was not in operation during the re porter's visit, as the water supply to the hydraulic rams was shut off. To weld one inch pipe requires about 20 horse power; two inch pipe, about 35 horse : power, and three inch pipe about 55 to 90 horse power. in connection with the welding machine, but which will not for the present be em ployed can be used a small hydraulically operated hammer for hammering down the "collar” previously mentioned. This hammer gives 200 blows a second. The Thompson Welding Company do not sell their machines, but rent them and charge so much per weld, for which pur pose a registering apparatus is placed in the dynamo room. It is expected that the plant will be in full operation by the end of ibis week. ANTED—A re family.
