A dispatch from Newnan, to Mon
day’s Constitution, says:
Colonel R. S. Burch, a prominent
citizen and leading lawyer, of this city,
suffered a stroke of paralysis this
morning. At noon >oday he was
thought to be somewhat better.
The gentleman’s friends here—and
he has a host of them—will be pained
to learn ol his illness.
The Harrisons aie a lucky, as well

Government Clorkship.
The south has never had her full
quota of government clerkships. Jhe
civil service commission will he ia
Macon on the 28th, and in Atlanta,
on the vst of August to examine ap
plicants. F. W. 11. writing to the
Constitution on the subject,says :
All the young men, or old ones for
that matnr, in Georgia and other
southern states, who want to work for
the government, now have an oppor
tunity. They will make from $900 to
$1,200 tach, and only have eight
hours of work a day, with a had hour
out of that for lunch. Then each one
of them is entitled to a month’s vaca
tion during the year. The positions
they will have to fill are clerks and
copyists. Then, again, if they fill
their positions well, there is a chance
of promotion to $t.poa year. The
work is, of course, vtry light. These
positions will be in various depart
ments here, but principally tn the
pensio office, where six hundred ad
ditional clerks arc to he appointed
soon. Ot these from 30 to 40 are to
be appointed from Georgia, 25 from
Alabama, 20 from South Carolina, 20
from Mississippi, 22 from North Caro
lina, 23 from Texas, and many from
other southern states.
To get these positions a civil ser
vice examination, consisting of arith
metic, reading, writing, spelling and
geography, must be passed success
fully by the applicants. If there are
mere applicants than vacancies, those
who make the highest mark will be
selected. The examinations for these
vacancies will be held as follows : At
lanta, August 1 st; Macon, July 28th;
Charleston, South Carolina, July 26th;
Charlotte, North Carolina, July 24th;
Montgomery, Alabama, July 30th;
Birmingham, Alabama, July 3rd. Ex
aminations will also be held at the
principal cities in all the other states.
Application blanks will be furnished
by the examiners in Atlanta, Macon,
and the other cities on the days ol the
cxaminaiinns or probably a tew days
previous. However, the civil service
commissioners here say the day uf ex-
amina'ion will not be too late to
make application. Both- men and
women can stand the examination,
but the men will he given the prefer
ence. In the past the young men of
the southern states have not seemed
to care to work for the government,
and consequently the south’s apportion •
ment b'.a never becnfi'Ied. Thecom-
missioners are now anxious for south
erners to come forward and take tnese
places, tn order that the law may be
carried out, which provides that depart
mental clerkships s>all go to states
according to population. However, a
young man who is making a good or
even fair living at home, had best re
main where he is; that is, if lie has
any ambition. While it is true these
clerkships pay well, probably nine-
tenths that the young men of Georgia
earn to-day more, and they totally unfit
the majority of the young men tor
other business. (**'
Criminal Extravagance.
Froui the Philadelphia Record.
Well! '
The Philadelphia Times propounds
this query to the looters and revolu
tionists ol the House:
Why not adjourn Congress ? 1 he
treasury is looted and a deficit of $ 100,-
ooo.ooo piled upon the tax-payers,
and there’s nothing more to grab un
less the deficit is to be increased.
Isn’t $100,000,000 enough to saddle
upon the people in one session ? If
so, let treasury looters and tax-bredders
take a recess.
O, no, they’ll not adjourn, until the
money is spent.

Items From the Augusta Chronicle :
The esteemed Atlanta Constitution
says: “If the ‘truck patch bill’ is a
county or stale issue, we have not
heard of it." Something must be the
matter with the trolley line of the Con
stitution’s news service.

A Good Democrat Gone.
Washington, July at.—The House
adjourned at 12:10 p. ro, in respect to
the memory of James P. Walker, of
the Fourteenth Wisconsin District,
who died on Saturday at his home,
Dexter, Mo. Mr. Walker was a young
man, but one of the best democratic
workers. Thf, Speaker appointed a
committee of seven to attend bis
funeral, lilt make* the tenth death
during this session, a larger number
than ever before.
The extravagance that in one year
has used up the enor nous federal
revenue, yielding a heavy surplus ;n
every year of Cleveland’s adminis'r.v
tion, and which has exceeded the es
timate of expenditure by $74,000,000
and the receipts by $94,000,000, is
without parallel in this country or in
any other in time of peace. In the
face of this alarming condition congress
goes nimbly on passing subsidy bills,
public building bills, the federal elec
tion bill and other schemes of uncer
tain bnt fearful expenditure, which
must inevitably bear harder on the
purses of the people and increase the
undeniable distress that besets large
classes in all parts of the country.

Chicago Second.
Chicago is exceedingly happy over
the official report of the census super
visor, which credits that city with a
population ol 1,101,623. This is 61,•
263 ahead of the estimated population
of Philadelphia, and only 412,000 less
than the population of New York.
Several months ago Chicago extended
its limits so as to take in nearly all of
the county in which it lies, and is now
by far the largest city in area on this
continent. It occupies 172! square
miles, while New York has only 41.—
Telegraph.
In this connection it is openly as
serted in New York, that Mr. Porter,
and his republican allies have not
given democratic New York full credit
for her population.
Blaine is growing in popularity—
with the democrats. We all think n
great deal more of hint that we did a
few months ago. His fight against
the McKinley tariff kill, and his oppo
sition to the force bill, raises the
Maine statesman above the politician.
