Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 19.—The
most dazzling railroad scheme in years
came to light here to-day.
U. C. Maehen, known ns “Magic
Mnchen,” (he man who hnilt the
Covingloii and Macon railroad, is in
charge of a scheme to build an e'ec
trie standard gunge railwav from At
lanta to the f-ca, at or near Savannah.
Work has began on a road between
Eaton and Mnchen, a distance o‘ sev
enteen miles, and on this electricity
will he first tested. If it works well
it will he applied to the whole line of
one hundred and fifty miles.
The capitalists backing Mnchen
are New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago parties who believe in elec
tricity for railroads, and have ample
means to test it
This route is selected because of
rich environment and immense motor
power with which to generate elec
tricity. On the Ocmulgce, Little
river, South river and other streams
on the route Maehen estimates the
water power at sixty five thousand
horse This, it is thought, will gen
erate electricity enough to move all
trains that can run over the road.
The construction will be such that
Why Not Cuba?
Now that scoops and coupe d’etat
are in the air, the people are again
talking of Cuba to Mr. Blaine. Blaine
does r.ot need urging. He would
just as soon have Cuba as not. He
would not object to a little scoop in
the Caribbean if he could get the
Queen of the Antilles.
The history of territorial acquis!
tiou by the United States has been
one of opposition but of splendid
reality. The people talked of 1m
peaching Jefferson for the purchase
of Loui.'i imi; hut what would we

ceded the valley of the Mississippi ?
People alluded to Florida as a land
of swamps nud sand banks when we

Even Alaska has turned out to be a

Where are They?
Mr. M. W. Scott, of the well known
real estate firm, is now searching for
the heirs of a Georgian who was killed
in the Alamo masacre in ’26.
Tobin is the name under which he
was enrolled.
The dead hero’s heirs were given by
congress, along with others who went
down that day, a big land grant, but
until recently, no demand was made
for it. Not long ago, however a
claimant turned up, but he is thought
to be an impostor, and the state has
begun to silt the matter. On yester
day Mr. Scott received a letter stating
the facts and asking their help. Then
they issued the following:
Atlanta, Ga., November 19,1889.
-Editors Constitution: We have
information from Texas that among
the Georgians who were murdered at
the Alamo in 1826, was one John To
bin—"Tobin.” It is probable that he
was a married man, as he was granted
land as the head of a family.
The heirs are entitled to 4,428 acres
of land.
The land is claimed by a supposed
impostor, as he is a well known forger.
We would like to find his heirs to see
them get their property. Georgia

Every republican candidate for
speaker of the house has expressed
himself in favor of a federal election
law. Such a law cannot pass. There
are enough conservative republicans
in congress to defeat it, and they will

manage their own elections. The
tendency toward a strong centralized
government is one of the dangers
which menaces the republic. The-

HOW HY BACK AGH^T
Ho Must Aot on the Politloal Assessment
Question.
Washington, Nov. 29.—The ac
tion of President Harrison on the evi
dence submitted by the civil service
commission, showing that Mahone’s
Old Dominion Republican Associa
tion violated the law against political
assessments, is awaited with gieat in
terest. The commission has given
him, it believes, evidence enough to
procure an indictment of the officers
of the association, three of whom are
office holders. The commission wants
to see this law tested. If it means
anything the commission wants it en
forced, if it does not the commis
sion wants it amended. The com
mission has shown wisdom In referring
the mater to-the president. Had it
presented its evidence to the district
attorney he might have hesitated, be
ing a hold over democrat,to prosecute
republican office holders, or, it he had
prosecuted them, he might have been
accused of offensive partisanship, but,
as it stands now, president Harrison
himself should decide what is to be
done. The matter will of course be
formally referred to the attorney gen
eral, but this will only be as usual for
him to find the warrant for whatever
the President has determined to do.
If this source of boodle is cut off
from the republicans, it will be good
bye, John, with them.
