There is no better man and no better Democrat in Georgia than Allen D. Candeer. He has been trusted and tried in private and pub lic positions, and never found want ing in the discharge of duty. In war and in peace he has exemplified the best manhood and the highest patriotism of Georgia. One of the ! plain people, he has come up fiom the plow handles and filled offices of honor and trust with zeal, fidelity and ability. He will ever be found faithful to the welfare of the people, and the honor and the interests of the State will be safe in his keeping. As governor of Georgia, Allen D. Candler will be the right man in the right place.—Augusta Chronicle. THE COTTON CROP. The latest cotton letter of Lathem, Alexander & Co. shows that the ef forts to secure a decrease in the acre age of the cotton crop have been of no avail. From their 2,488 corres pondents in the South Messrs. La them, Alexander & Co. find that there has been a decrease of five and one-half per cent, but they attribute it not to organized effort on the part of cotton growers’ associations, but to the continued low price of cotton, the rise in the price of food crops, and the refusal of merchants, in the face of war, to make as liberal ad vances to farmers as they have here tofore done. It is not probable that this slight decrease will have any verv appre ciable effect on the price of cotton this fall unless the seasons conspire to further shorten the crop. The farmers must make more than a five per cent decrease for much good to come to them. THE PHILIPPINE ELEPHANT. The United States set out to drive Spain from the control of one island of a million and a half inhabitants. We suddenly find ourselves by De wey’s victory, in control of an archi pelago with a population of 15,000,- 000. It is a possession toward which covetous hands are reached out from Asia and from Europe. It is a dan gerous as well as rich possession. What shall we do with it ? First, we must make our occupation safe and sure—which ought to have been provided for in advance of the taking —and then face more at our leisure. But it is a dif ficult problem, and it would be un fortunate to continue to underesti mate it. Pointed Paragraphs. The average man is moved to swear on moving day. A bluff isn’t much good in the hands of a nervous man. The best way to destroy an enemy is to make a friend of him. Neither force nor skill can turn the current of a woman’s will. The man who has never loved but once may have experienced a great deal. Job was of such a jolly disposition that he fairly boiled over with humor. The.lantern that the law compels wheelmen to carry is a sort of legal light. The young man with a slender sal ary should marry a girl with a small waste. Some men’s only business is pleas ure and the only pleasure of others is business. The fellows who are short on June wheat will soon be looking for re venge—because revenge is wheat. A man ne»er appreciates beauty unadorned more than at the time when he gets the bill for his wife’s new dress. A woman in Ohio accused her hus band of leading a double life because she discovered that he was twice as mean as she thought him. Short and Sweet. Fancy work is the busy woman’s play. Uncle Sam’s blister will no doubt make the Spanish fly. Some orators are given to natural gas balloon ascensions. The happiest days of a man’s life always seem to be in the near future. The shower that spoils a woman’s new spring bonnet is a rain of ter ror. True friendship between women is a matter of great doubt to most men. Some people are so awfully ex clusive their teeth won’t move in the same set. The small boy says the proper time to gather fruit is when the dog is chained. The act prohibiting Confederate officers from holding commissions in the United States army was repealed March 31, 1896, by a Democratic Congress and President, in face of strong Republican and loyal opposi tion. &1.00 Per Annum in Advance. AIR OF MAMMOTH CAVE. So Pure and Bracing That It Might B* Utilized For a Sanitarium. In The Century there is an article on “The Mammoth Cave of Ken tucky” by John R. Proctor, former ly state geologist of Kentucky. Mr. Proctor, in describing the tour of the cave, says: Some distance on we come upon two stone cottages built against one of the walls of the avenue. These are the remains of a number that were built in the cave in 1843 for the abode of consumptive patients. It was believed that the pure air of the cave w’ould effect a cure, and 15 consumptives took up their abode here, and remained tor five months without going outside. It is said that when they did go out three died before they could reach the hotel. Something more than purity is re quired—sunlight. It is said that the saltpeter miners had remarkable health while working in the cave, and persons with weak lungs are certainly benefited by short walks in this atmosphere. I believe, in time, that these immense reservoirs of dry, pure antiseptic air will be utilized for the cure of consumption and asthma, not by sending the pa tient into the cave, but by bringing the air into sunlit sanitariums on the dry, well drained elevated sand stone plateaus above the caves. We know the air is dry, because the timber carried in in 1812 has not decayed, and iron hinges have been here since 1843 and show no sign of rust. We know the air is pure, be cause here animal matter does not decay, but simply dries up. The mummies found in the caves were not prepared mummies, but simply desiccated bodies. The uniform temperature of from 53 degrees to 54 degrees the year round has been demonstrated. Consumptives take long sea voyages and visit high al titudes to get the benefit of aceptic atmosphere, but they suffer from variations of temperature, from storms, and at high altitudes exer cise cannot be taken, while the cave air predisposes one to take exercise with little fatigue. I have known delicate women to walk for nine hours in the cave, clambering up steep ascents and over rocks, and come out of the cave feeling no sense of fatigue until they reached the warm, impure air outside, charged with the odors of decayed vegetation, when they would al most faint and would require as sistance in ascending the path to the hotel. We think the atmosphere in the glen at the entrance remarkable for purity before we have become sensi tive by hours in the pure atmos phere of the cave. I once went with a friend and a guide to Roaring river and several other remote places, which required remaining in the cave overnight. It was night when we came out, and we had be come so sensitive by our stay of 36 hours in the pure air of the cave that we were almost overcome by the suffocating mephitic odors and oppressiveness of the outer air. We dreaded to inhale it into our lungs and returned again and again into the pure air flowing from the cave. Air freed from bacteria is one of the main reasons fir success in modern surgery and a sanitarium into which this air could be pumped would doubtless be resorted to for difficult surgical operations. Con sumptives in high altitudes are com pelled to remain indoors in winter weather and breathe the vitiated air of closed rooms, while in sanitari ums supplied with cave air, by let ting the air in at the upper part of the rooms and out at the lower part, all exhalations would pass out and pure air would be constantly rush ing in at a uniform temperature, winter and summer. Then it would be a boon if we could escape the op pressive heat of summer into hotels kept cool and pure by the air from these great dry caves. Do Maurier’a Limitations. If there had been no Charles Keene (a terrible supposition both for Punch and its readers), I should have done my best to illustrate the lower walks and phases of London existence, which attract me as much as any other. It is just as easy to draw a costermonger or a washer woman as it is a gentleman or lady , —perhaps a little easier—but it is by j no means so easy to draw them as Keene did, and to draw a cab or an omnibus, after him, though I have sometimes been obliged to do so, is almost tempting Providence. If there had been no Charles Keene, I might perhaps, with prac tice, have become a funny man my -1 self, though I do not suppose that my fun would have ever been of the broadest.—George du Maurier k Harper’s Magazine.

Every One Who “Sits” In a Game Is Gov erned by Superstition. “Card players are a most supersti tious set,” said a business man who will occasionally “sit” in a little game when the limit is to his liking and the company of unexceptionable quality. “There was a new oue on me the other night,” lie continued, “for one of the men, when we were taking seats, shifted his position because he wanted to play with the grain of the table—that is, he wanted his cards to come to him with the grain of the round table and not crossways. Thia was a new one, as I said, but it re called the fact that all of them have a weakness. For instance, where is the card player who will play cards while some outsider has a foot on the rung of his chair? Then there is the other fellow who will get up and walk around his chair to change his luck and the other who will never lend a chip if ho is winning. Why, I saw a man the other night who re fused a chip or two to a neighbor in the game, but he went down in his trousers, pulled out a roll and hand ed his friend an X and told him to buy a few’ from the banker. “Poker, too, has given the coun try some of the richest of slang. Take the word ‘bluff,’ and where can you find a better word i I sup pose it is in the Century and the Standard, or, if it isn’t, it should be, for the word is completely accepted now by the best of writers every where in this country and England too. “ ‘Standing pat’ was used in a courtroom a short time ago. Some lawyer was asked by the judge what he intended to do after a certain de cision had been rendered on a mo tion. He said he guessed he would ‘stand pat.’ It wasn’t strange that the judge comprehended the situa tion and, without a word, went on after the other lawyer said that his opponent would do well ‘to draw cards, as standing pat had no terrors for him.’ More than that, every reference was thoroughly under stood by every lawyer within the railing. It was just at this time that the judge added to the confusion by ordering one of his bailiffs to turn on the steam, as his feet were cold. For the benefit of the uninitiated it is worth saying that the cold feet refers to a habit of some small gam blers who play for the money that is in it, saying as an excuse, ‘My feet are cold,’ and getting out of a game when they are ahead. “That reminds me that women as well as men are natural gamblers, and in consequence there have been many friendships of long standing among women ruined forever by progressive euchre. Why, I have played in games where the cheating of some of the women was as pal pable to a man who is accustomed to card playing as the nose on your face, but I said nothing, as the wom an would have been mad and denied everything and placed me in the hole. Look at the prizes they play for now. “There’s the head prize for men and women and tho booby or con solation prize for men. Then there are second and third prizes and the prize for making the greatest num ber of points and the prize for the least number and a prize for the greatest number of mistakes, and the Lord knows how many others. It’s a regular gambling game, but the same who indulge in that kind of sport will jump on a man who plays a little quiet game of poker at home. “Nor is the gambling instinct ob literated from the progressive social games entirely, for there was a game I heard of where the head prize was made up of five $5 gold pieces, all tied up with blue ribbon, and you can bet the men in that game were working hard for the head prize, for some of them wanted that $25 with a want that must be filled. I expect some of them cheat ed, but as a lady who was a guest at the home of the hostess got all the ‘mon’ and the hostess did the punching of the tickets there was a faint suspicion that a few extra holes got into the young lady’s card by mistake—on purpose. But of course I don’t make a charge like that. I’m only thinking.” In reply to a query, “What’s your superstition?” the talker said: “I’ve only one. I won’t play in a game when I have on a single thing that has never been worn before, not even a necktie. Takes my mind away from the game, and therefore I never wear a new thing when I am going to play poker. ”—Cincin nati Commercial Tribune. Study the Goose. There is much to study about a goose. Just observe a flock of geese some day when you are out visiting on a farm. They'll give you amuse ment by the hour. A goose hasn’t the slightest idea of breadth or depth. The assertion that every goose that passes through an open barn door ducks its head, no matter if the opening be 20 feet high, is as true as can be, and, while a goose can’t be made to believe that there is no danger to its head as it passes over the sill of a barn door, it is equally positive that it can creep through a 2 inch augur hole or a knot hole in a fence just as easily as it can go through a 20 foot door, and with more safety to its person. I have laughed myself sore more times than a few at the per sistence of some old goose in trying to enter an inclosure through a hole in the fence hardly big enough to get its head through, while a gate big enough for a team of horses to pass through was wide open within three feet of the hole.—New York Sun.
