ident received telegrams from Senator
Aldrich and Representative McKinley

that congress will dispose of the tariff

Not to the Dollar Yardstick.
The Augusta Chronicle, says i
“Mr. Norwood ridicules Gen. Gor
don for his financial failures. Some
good men have not been prosperous
or rich, Mr. Norwood. Daniel Web-
ster and Rufus Choate were bankrupts,
but the people trusted them all the
same. Georgia doesn’t measure
statesmen by the yardstick of dollars
and cents, Mr. Norwood. Senator
Car'isle is a poor man. There are
enough rich men now in the United
States Senate. Georgia can afford to
put another poor man by the side of
of Mr. Carlisle.’’
No, Georgia democrats are not
using the dollar yardstick this year.
Thomas Jefferson, the Father of Dem
ocracy, the author of Independence,
was| very improvident. He lived
and died in debt. The government
paid a large price for his library, the
proceeds of which went to pay his
debts. Henry Clay, the “Mill Boy of
the Slashes,” ranking with Calhoun
and Webster as a statesman, was a
conspicuous financial failure; and yet
he was, pre-eminently, the idol of his
state, Kentucky, and, in fact, of the
whole country. No^ no, John 15.
Gordon will never be condemned by
the people of Georgia, because he has
not, like some others accumulated
great wealth. Being a financial fail
ure is not a crime. John 15. Gordon,
while he has never bee 1 a great mon
ey makers has always been true to his
people; (rue to them in pea:e and
war. Mr. Norwood will not make
any capital bv his charges.
Remarkable Mind Reading.
Chicago, September 18.—Paul
Alexander Johuston, the mind reader,,
opened a difficult combination snfo
in the presence of many well-known
pcoplo at a hotel hero to day under
remarkable circumstances. lie was
blindfolded, his ears aud nostrils were
packed with cotton, his hands covered
with thick kid gloves, and in his
mouth he held a cigar, so even tho
sense of taste was temporarily de
stroyed. The proprietors and book
keeper ol the hotel stood behind him
and thought of the combination.
Without touching citiicr of them
Johnston turned correctly to tho
numbers aud swung the door open.
Johuston says this proves that man
has more- than five senses.
