By the disgraceful filibuster-!
ing of a minority of the members
of the House, the bill for the
new depot on the state’s property
in Atlanta seems likely to be de
feated—for this session,'at least.
Don’t forget that next Wednes
day, 10th inst., is the date iixed
by the Charter for the annual
city election. Take enough ti me
from your work to go to the poll s
and cast a vote for the excellent
nominees of last Friday’s white
primary.
Caledonia Lodge, No. 121, F.
and A. M., will hold, their annual
election of officers on the 21st
inst., after which the members
will enjoy an oyster supper, to
which all Masons in good and reg
ular standing are cordially in
vited. _________
School will re-open at the State
School for the Deaf in Cave
Spring on Wednesday, January
2d. On account of the presence
of scarlet fever, the inmates of
the Institute were sent home in
November, and after a thorough
fumigation to destroy any germs
of that dread disease, the session
will resume work the first of the
now year.
The republican majority in the
next House of Representatives
is estimated at 47, as compared
with 18 in the present House.
Twenty-one of the state legisla
tures which were chosen Novem
ber 6th are to elect United States
Senators; and in three states,
Delaware,Nebraska and Montana,
o'wing to special conditions, two
Senators are to be chosen. The
Senate, after the fourth of next
March.will probably lie composed
of 65 Republicans, 81 Democrats,
and 4 People’s party or independ
ent Senators.
The State Senate lias killed the
osteopathy bill—just ns it should
have done. If the osteopaths
want to practice medicine, let
them pass the regular medical
examination and get a profess
ional license from the state. The
examinations for license to prac
tice medicine, law and dentistry
should be rigid enough to keep
out quackB and incompetents. A
man should at least convince the
state that lie knows the dilferenee
between the medulla oblongata
and a femur before he is al
lowed to tinker with people’s
life and health.
The much-mooted Confederate
Soldiers’ Home in Atlanta is to
be accepted by the state at last-
much to the gratification of the
veterans aiid their friends. The
House pnssed the bill to that
eil'ect yesterday, and the Senate
will undoubtedly follow suit.
The movement was started by
the late Henry Grady in 1889,
who raised over $40,000 by pri
vate subscription for the pur
pose. A tract of 119 acres near
Atlanta was purchased, and a
substantial 'three-story building
with seventy-five rooms was built
thereon.
After the completion of the
Home, it was tendered to the
state, but the proffer was refused,
the Legislature at that time pre
ferring to give its aid to the
veterans in the way of pensions.
The bill which passed the House
yesterday, and which received
the vote of Hon. J. B. Ayers, the
Representative from Polk, makes
the following provisions:—
The sum of $16,000 is appropriated
for maintaining and furnishing the
same for the first year, but no part of
this sum shall be expended until there
are 46 applications for admission.
There shall be a board of 11 trustees,
one from each Congressional district,
who shall have charge of the home and
serve without compensation.
These trustees shall appoint a super
intendent at a salary not to exceed
$600. Shall elect a treasurer, steward
and such other assistants ns may be
necessary.
Ex-Oonfederate soldiers who are res
idents of the state of Georgia and have
been residents of the state for a term
of five years, shall be admitted to the
home, and these shall perforin such
duties ns may be required by the
superintendent.
No soldier who is admitted to the
home shall draw a pension from the
state.
Admissions shall be from the several
counties of the state according to pop
ulation.
The people have asked for
bread but are likely to get noth
ing but a stone, in the matter of
the reduction of the heavy war
taxes. The republican majority
now seems inclined to make the
reduction solely in the interests
of the beer trust, which would
not be felt at all by the
people—not even by the beer-
drinker, for whom the rela
tive proportions of beer and foam
in the glass would be maintained
as at present.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
