IILOOI) AND HAIR, AND HEAR
NIRN AND HARMONY.
The Atlanta papers are a funny
lot. Either or both the Constitution
and the Journal would be aptly de
scribed by Artemus Ward’s charac
terization, “a most amoosing cuss.”
The Constitution never lets a day
pass without deftly drawing the dirk
and feeling of Cleveland and the
Democratic administration way un
der the fifth rib. Then the Journal
rears up on its shapely hind legs, and
declares that the Constitution is the
Benedict Arnold of Democracy, a
liar from Wayback, and not worthy
to be named in decent company.
Then the Constitution noses around
through the musty files of the past
and resurrects some thoughtless re
mark uttered in the heat of debate,
reprints it with double leaded gusto,
and proves that the Journal is a
wobbly, inconsistent, untruthful, and
altogether conscienceless and aban
donee! journalistic harlot which ought
✓-fiot to be allowed place on the ex
jr change table of even the Police Ga
zette. The Journal promptly settles
the matter by showing that the Con
stitution is mad and jealous because
Grover Cleveland named Hoke
Smith Eli and Evan Howell Mud.
Everything done by the administra
tion is wrong according to the Con
stitution, and right—dead right—
a< ording to the Journal. Both are
great rascals, taking the testimony of
each against the other.
“If what you two fellers say about
each other is the truth, you are a
pair of the damdest rascals I ever
saw,” said the old country squire,
after hearing two lawyers argue a
law case.
But, behold, how good and how
pleasant it is to see brethren dwell
together in unity when it comes to
the governorship. Then your Uncle
Evan falls weeping into the arms of
Hoke and says “Oh, most mighty
and puissant Seer, well and truly
dost thou discern the things that
make for our glory.” “Put her
there, paid,” says Hoke. “Pm with
you till Hades goes into the ice busi-
A ness. Hurrah Ur General Evans !”
so it goes. But we keep
of that old country squire.
If what these say of each other when
they differ is half true, hadn’t the
peop’e of Georgia better examine the
meal tub when they agree ? There
is a curious odor abroad on the
breeze. We cannot exactly tell
whether it’s a cat or a rat.
RKT OUT OF THE WII.DERNEMM.
The Democratic majority in Con
gress is making a sorry spectacle of
itself. With the business of the
whole country paralized, and sixty
millions of people clamoring for the
removal of the uncertainy and action
along some, any, line that will let the
commerce, manufactures, and all the
diversified industries of the country
know “where we are at,” and be
enabled to make plans for doing some
thing, this top-heavy and unwieldy
majority have frittered away over a
month, and we now’ witness the piti
ful spectacle of deputy seargent-at
arms skurrying over the country and
arresting and bringing to the Capitol
the men whom confiding Democratic
constituencies elected and sent to
Washington to carry out the pledges
made to the people in. the last elec
tion.
How pitiful it all is. Have we a
Democratic party, or have we not?
Are the little men who seem now to
be in charge of the machine equal to
the task of carrying out the will of the
people? It would seem not. It is a
day of small men; a day when little
cross-road demagogues who have
never been anywhere, do not under
stand anything about the great ques
tions they are called upon to handle,
have got into the places which in the
past taxed the abilities of great men
who used to serve the people, and so
knowing nothing, they are afraid to
do anything, and thus paralysis seizes
upon the commerce and industry of
the nation.
God help us. In the past, great
dangers and great occasions seemed
somehow to raise up the men to meet
them. But it would seem now that
this is once when it has not.
Gentlemen of the National Con
gress, we would respectfully suggest
that you pull yourselves together
from your Christmas jag, and do some
thing—almost anything,provided you
do it quickly
NOW ANC HOR IT.
After waiting four days since re
assembling, the Democrats succeeded
last Monday in mustering a quorum,
and was thus enabled to sit down
upon Mr. Thomas Brackett Reed,
and old Bilgewater Boutelle, and
their dilatory motions, and start up
the debate on the tariff bill. Let us
hope that it will go on with a rush,
''nd close as the special rule provides
4 he 25th of this month, and be
L’>y the House.
v en it gets into the Senate
rd that public opinion
will build a fire under that lazy and
dignity-ran-to-aeed old body that will
make it for once in its history get a
hump on it and let the country know
what is to be done. Then, whatever
1 the result, the country will adjust
itself to the conditions, an 1 wipe off
the mildew, dry rot and death damp,
and begin to pull itself together.
Meantime we hope Speaker Crisp
• will reeve an anchor to his quorum
and hold it down to business.
H AM ABROAD.
Our distinguished fellow’ citizen,
Hon. 11. W. J. Ham seems to be
. weeding a very wide and profitable
row in the lecture field. Immedi
ately upon the adjournment of the
Legislature he left for Pennsylvania,
i New York, and the East, where he
. filled a series of dates, lecturing ev
erywhere to crowded houses. His
, “Snollygoster in Politics” evidently
hit the yankees right where they
I live, and he Eastern papers are en-
I thusiastic in their praises of the lec
, ture and the lecturer.
t Last week Col. Ham lectured in
, Richmond, Va. The Richmond
State opened a column description
I of the entertainment by saying :
lion. 11. W. J. Ham, the Georgia ora
tor, humorist, and lawmaker, lectured at
- the Academy of Music last evening, for
the benefit of the Virginia Division of
’ the Travelers’ Protective Association.
, The audience that listened to Mr.
j Ham’s dissertation on the “Snollygoster
in Politics’’ was thoroughly appreciative,
1 especially of the funny stories with which
he illustrated each argument, and which
never failed to evoke hearty laughter
I and applause. Mr. Ham’s humor is of
an original stamp; his descriptions are
picturesque and his vocabulary is un-
- limited. The speaker was gracefully in
troduced by Mayor Ellyson. Gov. O’Fer-
5 rail and party occupied a proscenium
- box.
■ In the course of a long and glow
. ing eulogy of the lecture the Rich
. mond Times says :
Snollygoster is a funny word and Ham
is a funny man. He is also of that type
which w’ould do away with the need of
• investigating committees. He took his
, subject and built around it a story which
should go deep into the heart of the
: American mother. Snollygoster, he said,
is the backwoods Georgian’s name for
the backslider in politics. The transla
, tion literally means a mugwump in jeans,
lie is the man who always wants an
’ cilice, and when he gets it he does not
• always have the sense to perform the
duties. He is the hog who does not
1 care so much for what position he holds
i as for how much there is in it. If he
cannot rule he ruins whatever is opposed
to him. And then he told a lot of in-
• teresting anecdotes to illustrate his
, point.
The lecture closed with a touching
> picture of the need now so great in the
country of the proper training of the
! young. With that sort of pathos which
f has made the names of Denman, Thomp
son, and James A. Herne household
words in America, he dwelt on the im
. portancejof surrounding the young man’s
life with pictures of honor and truth.
- The snollygoster cannot be destroyed in
. any other way, he said, “he will live on
until wiped off the face of the earth by
1 youth so trained.”
A large number of persons were pres
ent, and Governor and Mrs. O’Ferrall,
accompanied by Rev. Dr. Landrum, oc
. copied a box.
’ -
. As Faithful as the Sun.
) At the First Baptist church last Sun-
> day morning, after the efficient secretary
and treasurer had made his annual re
port, the following resolutions were
offered and unanimously adopted:
‘ Resolved, That the sincere thanks of
1 this Sunday school be, and hereby are,
tendered our efficient secretary, Mr. W.
11. Campbell, for his faithful work in
keeping so correctly the records of the
. attendance, contributions, and expenses
f of the school. It is our belief that no
Sunday school has a more faithful or
painstaking officer.
Resolved, 2d, That these resolutions,
; with his annual report, be furnished the
i city papers, with a request that they
, publish them.

> Dr. Barrett’s Lecture.
i Like most other towns of its size,
Gainesville has the reputation of being a
, poor lecture town, and so the large and
select audience which greeted Dr. Bar
rett at the court house, and listened
■ with rapt attention to his lecture on
the Passion Play last Monday night, was
, a most agreeable surprise to those who
had feared that the distinguished divine
i
would not meet the reception due to his
talents, and his historic subject.
’ No synopsis will be attempted. The
: lecturer was introduced by Dr. Oslin,
f which is equivalent to saying that it was
gracefully and eloquently done. Dr.
Barrett is a scholar rather than an ora
" tor, as that term is generally used, for
I there is utter absence of the tricks of
gesture and intonation with which so
called orators are wont to catch the at
tention and applause of the multitude.
But somehow the listener finds himself
’ leaning to catch every word that falls
from his lips, and so breathless in inter-
• est that he has no time to wonder what
it is in this quiet and undemonstrative
man that so enchains him.
We are sure that every man, woman
and child who heard the lecture went
away with a clearer vision and more
practical conception of the scenes of
I that saddest and most wonderful tragedy
of all the ages culminating in the atroc-
• ity of Calvary's height, and when with
i barely a word of exhortation the speaker
closed and bowed his head, seemingly in
| reverence before the picture he had
drawn with such a master's hand, the
gentle sigh that seemed to let down the
’ tension which had become almost pain
, ful to the audience, the utter absence of
5 noisy plaudit, and the hushed and sub
-3 dued manner with which they reluc
tantly turned away, was the highest
tribute to the genius which had brought
; them face to face with the wonderful
i spectacle he had described.

We have examined the books of the
officers of the City and feel gratified at
the ueat and correct manner in which
the books have been kept.
The borrowed-money account shows
more money than the City has owed at
any one time during the year. We were
forced to reborrow to meet notes made
the first of the year and falling due in
July. Hence the apparent large amount
of borrowed money.
Respectfully submitted.

Water and Light Plants.
The water and light plants are in a
good condition, and are fast becoming a
source of revenue.
The city is better lighted than any city
of like size in the South, and the lights
are a source of great convenience to all
of our citizens.
The water is not only a great conve
nience and blessing, but a great protec
tion, as has been twice demonstrated at
fires recently.
There are thirty-nine 1-2 arc lights on
the streets. There are two 1-2 arc lights
and seven 65-candle-power lights and ten.
32-candle-power lights furnished individ
uals and firms.
There are 150 consumers of water and
136 taps. The entire cost of water and
light plants to date is $45,258.89. Os
this amount $5,258.89 has been taken
from the general fund for the past three
years.
One thousand feet of mains have been
laid on Washington street and 1,000 feet
on North Broad street, at a cost of
$720.14. Tapping mains, $221.15. The
cost of running the two plants combined
is as follows:
Interest on light and water bonds §2,400.00
Salaries of officers and employees 1,920.00
Fuel. 1,094.11
Oil, carbons, etc 441.59
Making a total of 5,855.70
Crs.
By light rents §783.88
By water rents 1,776.88
Making a total of 2,560.76
Actual cost to the city of operating
both plants is $3,294.94, but a vast
amount of money is saved to the tax
payers in reduced insurance.
Streets an'v Sidewalks.
This year has witnessed much im
provement of a very substantial nature
on the streets and sidewalks in the city,
such as paving, filling, macadamizing,
bridges, putting in terracotta piping,
etc. North Main street from the public
square to terminus of street car line has
been macadamized. The bridge on
Broad street has been removed and the
deep cut filled. Other heavy work has
been done on this, Athens, and other
streets. In this connection I wish to say *
I have never been able to secure much 1
needed repairs on the street car line. 1
Thej’ promise but never seem able to ac- '
complish much. The entire line is in a 1
deplorable condition. Amount expend
ed on streets, $1,172.90. •
Public Schools. Jj
The city has witnessed our public]
schools develop into a perfect success, j
under the management of the efficient j
superintendent, Prof. R. E. Park, abljo
assisted by a corps of most
teachers. Prof. Park has been
and untiring in his efforts, and
clearly demonstrated that the board ofl
education made no mistake in selectimfl
him as superintendent. j
Our schools are the pride of the
1 and the most doubting Thomas
' the schools were first spoken of
■ loud in their praise of this great
of education. For the fall term
1 was in attendance—
i White pupils
• Colored pupils
I urgently request the hearty
tion of all our citizens to keep up
schools to a proper standing.

Sanitary.
The city is now, and has been all the :
( year, in a most cleanly condition. (
I urge upon the incoming administra- ,
tion the necessity of paying a proper re-
’ gard to this most important work. To j
' keep the city clean, it is absolutely nec- >
: essary to attend strictly to all the re
quirements of the city ordinances and
have them rigidly enforced. Expended ,

The Firemen. -
The firemen —bless these brave men!—
' these men who labor so unselfishly for 1
’ the protection of the property of the cit
izens!—these men who for mere empty 1
praise risk their limbs and lives so
bravely, so generously!—these men who |
are our heroes in everyday life, can not '
be praised too much. It is with a feel- i
ing not altogether pleasant that I note a I
lack of proper appreciation by some for <
our firemen, but all those who are in a
position to know the surroundings great
ly appreciate the actions of these good <
men who belong to the various compa- '
nies. They are ever ready, ever willing.
1 'Die department is in a most excellent 1
! condition, and all of the companies are
’ manned by good men. Amount expend
’ ed in this department is $98.82.
) lam glad to report the purchase and ,
i payment of the old city lot on Main
) street on which the stables, calaboose, .
- and city pound are located, at a cost of
> $1,300, and urgently recommend that
none of the property now in the hands
of the city be again sold.

To the officers I feel grateful for and
extend my sincere thanks for every
courtesy shown me; and to the members
of Council I also extend unfeigned
thanks for every kindness shown me.
I wish a prosperous, peaceful, and

ministrations, both as individuals and
