IMSSFI).
The Voorhoesbill, which provides
for 4 ho unconditional repeal of the
i ure ha sing clause of the Sherman
bill, pa.-.sed tbe senate Monday, the
v te Handing to to 82.
TIG is the conclusion of one of
„ , A;,;; . ami ..... lattnn st . contests .
, . :
that over occurred in the
Th i/omocrats were about evenly
divided on this question, and the
Republicans were on both sides.

will s -on make this a law.
St should not bo expected
almost simultaneously with the
• -oi-o of the president’s pen
ra of prosperity will dawn upon
our land, and that money will be ,
a* aw.- of the forest in summer.
Even if this i AQ wise legislation,
tiotno u mo will elapse before its
effects will be fell in the South.
Wo are glad that this vexed
questions lias been disposed of.
l i has occasioned much hard feel-
i among Democrats, and thus
afforded Roj ublicans and Populists
great enjoyment.
Those who wore opposed to un¬
conditional repeal should not
allow the memories of the past to
embitter them. True patriots will
bow to tlio inevitable and work
s It-ly for the bent fit of the cor
try, despite private grievances.
HOW THE CI<* Al” ETT E BILL
PASSED.
The legislature has done
thing. As soon as it arrived on
tiio field of action it pulled off
< lolh'd up it - .-liO wes, spat on
its hands, grabbed the plow hand-
los and loudly yelled, “Git- up!”
Tfirn tlio work began. Tho first
row had not been finished when
the plow struck a stump. r ! liis
had been set afire timi was smoking,
and the odor was foul like that of
a cheap cigarette.
Tho legislature was undecided
as to whether it. should go around
tho stump or try to pull up the
same by the roots. It pondered
tlie matter some time.
Finally it came to a decision.
The smoke would continue to
get into its eyes and its nose as it
passed near; therefore the stump
must be uprooted.
The stout mule was backed. A
forceful cuss word or two and a
lick from the plow-line caused the
anihial to make a mightv surge.
J he plow, was pointed directlv ,
*

pause as tho steel , , encountered , , the
wood; , then .. a cracking ,. sound , lot- p ,

removed. .
At last accounts, though, it was
still smoking.
Governor Nokthen’s message
Ls a sensible one. It urges that
the system of tax returns be re¬
formed, that a normal school’ be
established in the state, and rec-
ommends a reformatory for young
conviets, a state board of health
and that the penal code be revised,
These suggestions Are all good
ones.

TI law making it a miedemea-
or for cigarettes or cigarette
paper to be sold in Georgia, which
oassed the legislature the other
day. is attracting attention. The
press g. iientjy condemns this act
of the legislature.
The intention of our law makers
who voted for this measure was
• vi.te.tly ginxl. They believe that
(he ciglVrette is doing much dam-
a® tn the youth of the atate W
t bat if it could not be obtained in
Georgia the .. boys . would either , quit ..
smoking or puff something loss
injurious.
To us it seems that this is puny
legislation. A bay wire is addic-
ted to smoking cigarettes will
continue to smoko them, when he
can easily make them out of ordi-
narv tobacco and common paper. 1 ‘
Perhaps not the home-made , the cigarette . bought ,
is so injurious as
article, but neither can bo whole- I
some ior boys of tender years. To j
,m,ke this U W more effective, the
of tobacco anw cigars to
minors should bo prohibited, also,
But following up the line of ar¬
gument of the legislators V.ho are
so zealous in their efforts to bene-
fit the youth of the state, if the
legislature has the right to prohib-
it tlio sale of cigarettes, could
it not benefit both young and ole?
by making it a penal offense to
sell intoxicating fluids in Georgia,
except for medicinal purposes?
1 here is no doubt tliat whiskey is
more baneful than cigarettes.
The legislature has neither the
desire nor the courage to attempt
this.
A RELIC Of BAkBARISMl
It was tho intention of those
who enacted the law making exe-
cut-ions of criminals public to warn
people to abstain from law break-
ing by such an exhibition. It was
argued that the ride of tlie con-
detuned man tcf the gallows on his
coffin, tho sight of the ghastly
gibbet, tk black cap, tho fall of
Uie trap door and tho horrible
contortions of the suspended body
would serve to frighten evil doers,
and thus tend to repress crime.
Results have proven that public
executions have not beneficial re-
suits. They serve only to pander
to a morbid curiosity and gratify
a d< praved taste which delights
to feed upon horrors.
If tho last statements of execu-
ted criminal are to be believed,
one would naturally infer that the
gallows is a short cut to heaven,
and is therefore not to be shun¬
ned.
Public sentiment demands that
executions shall be private. We
are living in too civilized an age
to foster so barbarous a cus¬
tom.
Lot tho legislature see td this
matter.

this theater better than any of its class
on the Plaisance.
Those who, like tlie learned professor
Brander Mathews, find amusement in
tracing the origin of slang words and
phrases, may be interested to know the
history of the most popular thing in
slang which has been coined at tlie
Fair, the exclamation “Hot! hot! hot!”
This is rung in on every possible occa-
sion, regardless of appropriateness or
meaning, and is destined to be circula-
jg greater than was ever that of the
ubiquitous “Get there Eli!” or the
aesthetic “Too utterly utter,” or any
otl J l ' r simlIlu ' expressio ? s th ff most

where was first sold a kind of hot, crisp
wafer made in sheets; which was in
great demand with the eating public.
The booth was presided over by a griz¬
zled old Turk, who attracted attention
to his tempting confections by calling
out “Hot! hot! hot!” which was proba¬
bly about the extent of his English
vocabulary. Other venders seeing that
the dainty refreshment had a ready-
sale, also went to making and selling
it and calling out “Hot! hot! hot!”
This greatly incensed Mr. Selim Ash-
ker, as his name is, for he considered
that they had stolen his rightful prop¬
erty, both in manufacturing the dainty
and in appropriating his advertise¬
ment “Hot! hot! hot!” As he h*ld
neglected to take out a patent on his
wares and trade mark, he had no re¬
dress. But he caused a large sign to
be put up in front of his stand, which
I copied in my note book, word for
word: *

We visited the Turk’s booth one
n *o b ^ and a friend pointed him out,
saying, “Take a good look at him, and
when you hear the popular slang ex¬
pression, ‘Hot! hot! hot!’ remember
that you have seen the originator of
it.” So I carried awHy a mental pho¬
tograph of this foreign inventor, but I
did not hear him give the familiar call,
as not long before tlie edict had gone
forth that there should be no more
shouting on the Midway. Previous to
that it had been filled with * great ba¬
bel of sounds—vendors crying their
war-fS and theater fakirs enumerating
in stentorian tones the attractions
