Scull is just about what the average repul) icau congressman amounts to. Fe pie living in the vicinity of Middles borough, Ky., now charge that young Norris YVa ts, who was killed there, Thurs day, was willfully shot I y some ambushed enemy. But that doesn’t sou :id reasonable. That isu’t the way they usually fight in Kentucky. Recently Miss Mary E. Hanrand brought sui against Mr. John C.

The somewhat sensational “J hn Living ston circular” has been very generally pub lished in thl st te, ad there may be time who are in doubt relative th the truth of the statetnenis it contains. The Morning News received it at the time th it other newspapers of the state did, but did not pub lish it because there was no evidence of the truth of its state nents, and also because tbeevidant intention of it was to defeat a dem-xranc congress! jaal candidate of this state. Only a little while ago John Livingston, of New York, who asserts that he Is the president of the farmer-’alliance of th it state, and CoL L. F. Livingston, the chief of the fa-mars' alliance of this state, were writing loving let-ers to one another, ear-n trying to ouui o the other in the mutual ad miration business. It see oed strs g*, tbe efore, that the New York Livingston sh u and try to do t ie Goorgii L.vag-tiaa great injury. Tbo only explanation ap peared to be that the New Y rk L.vtng ton i.ad undertek n to assis tae na io al repub:lean cam ai,n committer in elec.ing republican congressmen. The Morning Sews mid ■ a little inves tigation of tt-e New York Livingston on is own account, and w.ile it discovered that the circular was a genuine and cument—that is, tnal it had bee.i ls-ued by h- New York Livingston—it did not have its ex, fid race in the New York Livi gston tre igth n -d. Indeed, from what it learned it ca n* to tbe conclusion that tbe alliance ought to be extremely careful in chooang its leaders if it wanted to escape being made uie of by designing men. Tbe Morning News does no; approve of some of the do! tical methods of the Ge rgia Livingston, but it does not propose to be a party to any scheme to defeat him for c in gress. He is tee regular democr .tic nomi nee and is much to be preferred to any re publican. This is not a time tor democrats to permit their d,(Terences to divide t.e u. It is ab solutely necessary that (I -orgia should send ten democratic representatives to the next Congress. There may be democrats who do not like some of tbe democratic nomi nees, and who would not experience any regret if these nominees should be defeated, but they should remember that at this time there it a great deal at stake, and that it Is highly important that the democrats should control the next House. They shonld disregard their per sonal feelings, therefore, and exert them selves to their utmost to elect the demo cratic nominees. They should do this for their party, because the be3t interests of the country demand that the govern nent shall be administered up >n democratic principles. If the republicans triumph iu the con gressional elections on Tuesday the force bill will be passed Under theoperntio sof that bill the condition of the south would be deplorable. The success of the repub licans als i means the strengthening of the protected monopolies, which are now rap idly robbi ig the raas-es uf their subva-ice and widening the chasm bet wee i tbe rich and poor. Let every democrat in Georgia go to the polls nett Tuesday and vote f -r the regular democratic nominee. Ana in t iosi di tric • in which there is opposition to the democratic nominee, democrats should make extraordinary exertions fir the success of the democratic ticket. A Cure For Consumption. Prof. Koch of Barlin is not the first man who has claimed to have discovered a cure for consumption. Ha iy have preceded him, and still consumptio /s victims are as numerous as ever. Prof. Ko his the man who a few years ago was sent by the govern ment of Germany to India to discover the bacillus of cholera, and who announced that he was suices ful. It may be that he was successful, but after his alleged disoovery had been discussed for awhile, and his name had become kno vn to the whole civilized world, nothing mo e was heard of that particular bacillus. The discovery, if it was ever made, has been of no benefit to humanity, because no remedy that would kill tbe bacillus has neen invented. Ch leva makes its appeara ce every once in awhile in one part cf the world or another and slays tens of thousands. It is engaged now in it* destructive work in some parts of Europe and Asia. But it seems that Prof. Koch has di - covered not only the consumption bacillus, but also a remedy that will kill the bacillus. It is to be hoped that those discoveries will be of more benefit to the world than the discovery of the cholera bacillus was. If Prof. Koch has really made the disc ivery which i e claims he has, the world will ac cord him all the honor he deserve*. It is rath-r remarkable, however, that he refuses to way wbat theennsumption bacillus remedy is, and the assertion that it is so constlv that only the rich will be able to obtain it is calculated to create a doubt that be has male any discovery that will prove to be ready valuable. There were quite a uu nber of physicians in this country and in Europe who thought that a great d.scovery had b?en mule wben Dr. Brown-Sequard came forward wi h bis celebrated eiixirfor making old men y ung, but, after the remedy bal made a brief sensation, it was abandoned, aud is now about f >i gotten. Prof. Kich, however, may have made a discovery that is worthy of !he attention of science, but it will not e believed that be has until be has changed a g >od many dis eased lungs into he .lthy ones. £upt. Porter’s xpianation. Our dispatches yesterday contained a B’aiement of the total p pn'ation of the country as show n by the last census and of the percentage of inci ease of imputation for the ten \ears bet wee.i 1870 ant 1880 and between 1880 an i 1890. The figures show a decrease of about per cent, dur ing the last ten years in comparison with tbe previous ten. Supt. Porter says that the chief reason for the decrea e is that the census of 1870 was grosdy defi cient iu tbe southern states, and that the percentage of increase between 1870 and 1880 was not as great as the figures make it. It has always been asserted that the cen sus of 1870 was very defective, but cannot it also be said, with a great deal of truth, that the census of this year is very de fective ! New York City had her census taken by her policemen and they found nearly 200 - 000 more people than the enumerat rs of the census bureau. In this stale this year’s census shows that quite a nun ber of coun ties have a smaller population than they bad tea years ago. Effingham county, for lnstauce, it lew popul >s by s verai hundred people than it was ii 1880. i here are srcellen! I reasons for thinking that Effiugbnm con tains more people than it did when tLe census of 1880 was taken. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2. 1890-TWELVE PAGES. Mar not tie fa:ting off in the perce ;tag* f r the last ten years be due largely to tbe faulty work of Sapt. Porter's enumerators! Th re are certainly excellent reasons for tain king so surrmnding the situation. To watch the various oral exercises of car esteemed contemporary, the Atlanta Con stitution, is at times realty and truly divert ing. Whatever it mar lack in sagacious guessing it Tally supplies in the agility with whie . it can deploy and surround the qaes t on. Asa modern edition of the Artful Dodger it i indeed preeminent. When the prohibition ques ion raged in Atlanta and aroused to passionate ardor the enthusiasm and fervid zeal of all classes, arravmg democrat against dem crat and rep-bheae against republican, ad white against white and black against black, and even brother against brother ands s er acaiust si-t-r, did the clarion expo .eut of the slate capital cast its fortu .ee unre servedly witj one side or the ether and plunge into the thickest of the fray t sur vive r perish as fete might decree with the people it held right and tne cause that they cher.sued! Not much. It compr mised. It was like Mark Twain when asked if he expected to go to heaven or helh he answered “I am comparatively indifferent; I have friends in both places.*’ It aad frit sis on both sides. 8 • Genial Henry Grady (now gone to that mystic region where perplexities are not) banged away on ones de while strategic Capt. Howell rallied the opposing foices. They eotnprised an Inspiring spectacle. In fact, a pair of spectacles that must have brought a grin to tfce grim visage of the American eagle. When the cruel war was over they forgave each other. They were friends again. Now we have another conflict of power ful thoughts in the state upon which great uieo differ. Somebody is bound 1 1 be iu the wrong. It is always the weakest force. Triumph is always right. But which is the weakest force? That’s the question. Inevita bly somebody will get left in this tussle. Good people on both sides. Still it is im portant toknow whioh, in all this inextrica ble tangle of good people, are coming out at the top of the heap Same old situation. Perplexi.-g. So Capt. Howell valiantly rides at the bead of the column in double barreled type, while Mr. Hemphill finds bis sympa thies Irresistibly d'awn to the other aids Still, eaon re oguizes bis old friend in the distance and wa its it clearly understood that while his tender sympathies bleed great gobs of gore for the cause, it would distress him exceedingly to have his dear friend hurt just because of an honest differ ence of au opinion. Of course be is in the wrong. Put we are likely to be in the wrong at times. Such things can’t be pre vented. Tnat sort of solid reasoning has a tende cy to “tempor the wind to the shorn limb,” greatly to the satisfaction of the lamb. 1 bus the vict< rious partner lets down the temple gently on his unhappy but neverthe less hopeful frattr. T> ey shake and decide to forgive each ether. They have stemmed two strong c< unter currents and averted a w h rlwind. They nave diverted the course of the st< rm winds ad spared the go den grain. It no* behooves theru ns thrifty foragers to harvest the said go.den gram. They harvest. If you can get on both sides of tbe enemy you can lit ’em corning and going. But on auy account never abandon the provision train. That is most important. While the publication of which he Is the pu’ative manager has rigidly maintained a position of chaste neutraliry, if not actual indifference, toward the scufTl.- between the farmers and their political foes—the Mends that are and the friends that may come— Mr. Hemphill seems to have felt impelled by his swelling emotions to go around be hind the barn, as it were, and hold a tryst with the ex-soldiers in order to tell them he loves them so dearly that the conventional restrictions placed upon him by uu- sympathizing relations are harrowing to his ardent souk Still, though he cannot shara their prejudices, he must respect their feelings—and all that. Tactics cf that sort for a paper that made any pretensions to independence w ould sd pear somewhat natural though slightly amusing. But for an avowed advocate of aggresdve partisan politics such a oourse does appear a trifle remarkable. A Great lemnsranca Convention. The national convention of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of the United States, which will be held in Atlanta ti is year, beginning on Nov. 14, promises to be a notable affair. It has never before been held so far south, and as the interest in the south throughout the northern and western tau*s is very general, it is probable that all tbe 600 delegates will be present. Besides the delegates there will be many visitors who are interested in the cause of temperance, and in the w >rk of this part cular temoera icj organizat on. Tuere are in this orga dzition s me of the m st influential wonea in the country, and it has the sympathy and support of very many wealthy and prominent people. Pro found interest is f It in the convention, a id its proceedings will be closely watched in all parts of the country. Tuere is only one thing that threatens to mar its ha mony, and that is the p esence of Mrs. J. Ellen Foster and her frie id*. It is well known that the Woman's Christian Temperance Um m is a non-partisan organization; that is, it does not take an active part iu politics, but se*ks the aid of all parties tn its work. Ms. Foster and those who follow her lead wi u drow from the union and formed another organization which they call a non-partisan one. If Mrs. Foster is quo.ed correctly, however, in an interview iu the Chicago Tribune of Oct. 5 last, she is a good deal of a partisan, in that i ter vie w she Is quoted as saying that she is a republi can, and that republicans everywhere believe that the force bili “should* have been made a law in time to have been in operation at the time of the coming con gressional election.” It is un lerstood that the Fosterites have chosen delegates to the Atlanta convention, and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union people are apprehensive that they will try to make trouble. If they are in favor of tne fo ce bill they will not find much sympathy in Atla ta or Georgia.

That rich men rarely lose anything by having their wealth discussed by the public is seen in the case of the late ’‘Bonr.i.za Flood of Cali fornia. Mr. Flood’s wealth has be n gueseed at all the way from j 0,000,000 to $25,000,000. Th executorx uf the will have just settled accounts with the court, and asg to be discharged.

Several years ago Broadax made np his mind that he was a natural born politician, and and iter rained to start a paper, says the Palladelpnia Record. He chose the portion of Pittsburg known a? “The Hill” for his field, and b u<ht several old job lot* of type. The paDer he owns is called the Broadax. The one eye of Broadax can see no such tninc as typographical beauty. Wnen he starts out to set up an article he emnloya one style of type until It is used up and thsn finishes with another style. Whenever the coffers in the establishment run low the republican polit ciaas are reminded of the fact in a double-leaded editorial, and they are expteted to suosertbe rapidly and often. If there is a disposition to delay on tee part of the leaders then the one eye of Broadax is sure to detect a black cloud in the political horizon, no bigger than a man * band, but of threatening aspect. Anot er double-headed editorial bints st disaffection among colored voters, and in the end the leaders generally send in their checks for several years' subscription is a 1 vance. It is said that • enator Quay has subscribed for the Broadax tor over KK) years. Gov. Beaver has also paid up for a century or two, and a good story Is told of the first time he subscribed. One day when Gov. Beaver was a candidate for governor be visited Pittsburg and was in troduced to Broadax, who replied to Gov. Beaver's formal pleasantries by saying; “Y'es, I know you've beard of me, but did you ever heah of da B< oesdax, a paper dat hews to de line, let de chips fall where aey may?” “I Cvrtain y have," replied tha gene al, “dhd have often thought of subscribing for your valuable paper. May I ask wnat your terms are?” “One dollar a year, payable In advanc '.” “Well,” replied tue general, as he lumbled about his pockets for a strav dollar, “lust put mo down.” The general had no small bil s about him, so he pulled out his campaign roll, skinned off a 820 bill, handed it to the colored phiio-o her, and stood in an expe -tant attitude. B oa lax took the bill, looked it over carefully, and plunge 1 it into the innermost depths of hi? capacious p ickats. “All ri ;ht, general, twenty years’ subscription paid iu advance; thanks, cotno again.” It i- said that the amazement of the moment caused Gen. Beaver s eyes to bulga out so that t -ey could have been knocked off with a club. Henry Clay as a Poker Player. •‘Henry Clay used to lose the greater part of his congressional salary," aald an old Washing ton gambler to the Pittsburg Press correspond ent. “The game he used to play was one in which toe b ind was SO cents and $1 to come in. There was no limit in those days, as tb-re gen erally is to-day. A man could, however, de mand a sight for his money. Clay's antagonist was generally a man named Bright, and both preferred to play a two handed game. The cards were cut one day and Clay got the first deal. He was a better card shuffler than lives to day He could hold his hands four feet apart and tty th cards from one to the other without a card falli g (Generally he dealt with one hand and. without a perceptible movement of the arm, throwing each c rd to its proper place with his long, muscular fingers.) “Olay was a poor poker player, however, He played for the excitement and not for the gain, aiul as he was careless about ms bets he gener ally came out a loser. He almost always straddled the hllDd, and whatever hand ne held would raise the bet of his antagonist. He used to bluff a good deal, and, as this would soon be found out. he would come out a los*r. "For nearly two hours the night I speak of Olay had been ha ing his own way with Bright He held a king full four times running, and then had a jack full. Bright did his best to catch Clay in a blufT. but it was of no use. Clay had a hand that could be oeaten oniy bv fours. The play began at 3 o’clock, and bv 10:30 Bright bad lost $1,500 and had borrowed S.V-0 from John Hancock. After that Clays luck vanished, and by midnight be bad lost all his winnings and SI,OOO betides- all the cash he had with him. “It was Saturday night, and Bright proposed that they quit so they c mid go to church In the morning, but Clay wouldn't have It. So be bor rowed S3OO from Bright, and let the game go on. Th- gam- was continued, and by daylignt he owed Bright $1,500. He liquidated the debt by gtviog Bid rot a deed for 330 acres of Ken tucky- land, and six shares of stock in a Louis ville bank “Clay went to church all the same that morn ing. While ne was talking to tne rector after It was over he put bU i.and in his pocket and pulled out a pack of cards along with bis hand kerchief. They fluttered to the ground, but Clay was not abashed, and. replacing them, RAld that they must have been placed there as a practical joke.’* How Labor Lost a Valuable hampion. “My wife doesn't speak to me this morning,” remarked a guest at tne Palmer house Satur day. wiping the remnants of an eye-opener from his lips, says the Chicago Post. “You see she’s craci e J on the labor question and is forever dinning i t > my ears the wrongs of the op pre sed, as if I wer • respousib-e. Last week we took a State street grip tor Englewood. Directly opp isite us sat a bard looking son of toil, his clothes spotted with mortar. His nat was pulled down ov r bis eyes and h • was evidently asleep. Instantly my wife's eyes flasaed. “ Th re,’ she began, ‘loos at tha' poor man.

Oh. dear me if I were only a man I’d do something’— she almost criel—T’d go to congress and mike some laws to pay the poor lab rers be ter wages. That s wnat I’d do. Just look at that poor, overworked and underpaid man!' And her eyes flashed again. “Just then the conductor came to collect the fares, aDd in. wife wmipered to me to pay the laborer's fare and let him sl,-ep But the con ductor tackled the son of toil first. Several pushes failing to wake him. the conductor shook him roughly, at which my wife was about to utter a remonstiance when the poor man opened his eyes, looked at the conductor a.id said: “ ’Wharaer mazzer?’ “ ‘I smiled, but my wife, not hearing dis tinctly, leaned a little forward. “ “Fare,’ said the conductor, sharply. “ 'Fare me (hie) eye,’ replied the poor man with a leer at my wife, who. just beginning to grasp the situation, turned red. " ’Give me your fare or get off,’ said the con ductor, shaking the poor man again. ‘•‘o, fare me (hie) eye’ Ain't (hie) got the fare. Go to One) 1 Whoop!

In time of peace the French army comprises, in 1890, ‘75.896 officers and 503,649 men; in 1891 it will consist of 26,834 officers and 520,540 men.
