The Constitution doesn’t endorse
any third party movement. It says :
•‘The alleged ‘Citizens’ Alliance” in
the West, is said to he composed of
men who are not farmers, but who
subscribe to the principles of the
Farmers’ Alliance, is not likely to
make nny headway -with its proposed
third party. The truth is, the people
ol the West are a unit in the matter
of obtaining financial relief in some
shape, and the democratic party
meets their wants better than the
third party would.”—True, O, proph

RUINED BY A PRIZE.
How a Lottery Ticket Cut Short
the life of an Atlantian.
From the Macon Telegraph:
Will the democratic tidal wave nev-
er[stop? Dover, New|Hampshire, elect
ed a democratic mayor last Thursday,
for the first time in thirty years.
There are 12,000,000 school chil
dren in the United States. Our pub
lic schools employ 347,292 teachers
and cost $122,455,252 last year. They
will cost several millions more this
year. It will be observed that, as the
people become better educated, the
stronger grows the Democratic party.
Religious statistics are scldomjrelia-
hie, but according to the best infor
mation there arc in the United States
about 8,500,000 Roman Catholics, 4,-
700,000 Methodists, 3,900,000 Bap
tists, 1,250,000 l'resbytcrians, 460,000
Episcopalians, 1,110,000 Lutherans,
205,000 Unitarians, 350,000 Quakers
r- N ->» • i.1 Veu have
nominated J. L. Sargent mayor and he
will undoubtedly be elected. Mr. Sar
gent was a republican until that party
went wild on the protective idea. He
supported Mr. Cleveland lor President
in 1884 and 1SS8 and made some ef
fective speeches in both campaigns.
Mr. Sargent is the largest manufactur
er ofhardwarcin the United States and
he says his business is frightfully ham
pered by the tariff. For the past six
yeir< h: has acted with the democrats
io stite and national contests. Mr.
Sargent, by the way, is a brother-in-
law of Hon, N. J. Hammond, of At
lanta.
Old man Edwards, of Atlanta
dead—Major G. F. Edwards.
He died on Sunday,
The story, c’osing with his death, is
a strange one. It's patheti: in its way
too.
About 'eighteen months ago the
message came to Atlanta one morn
Ing that one-tenth of the capital prize
had been drawn in Atlanta. What a
commotion and excitement there was
amongst the people that had tickets!
What a comparing o( numbers and
speculating!
Then next morning the story
printed about this o!d nnn Edwards,
an engineer in the Journal press room,
who had drawn $15,000.
He had been all his life a poor man.
He worked hard, had acquired a httl
home of his own, and was steady,
quiet and home-loving. His children
were all grown and married; but the
old man and wife were tenderly cared
for, and there wasn’t a happier little
home in Atlanta than that of old man
Edwards.
The lottery ticket ruined him !
The $15,000 brought domestic
trouble; it bred intemperate habits,
brought on srancal anJ gossip. The
home was broken up; the lives of the
children were made miserable by the
treamicnt of their mother, culminating
finally in suit for divorce.
The old man cut his former acquain
tances, was insolent and overbearing
towards his relatives, squandered mon
lavishly upon women and horses,
and drank all the tune.
lie furnished talk for the boys about
town; his puerile escapades and ridic
ulous adventures would make a book.
His money lost him his home, his
friends, his happiness, He was a mis
erable man. He lived mechanically,
growing grayer and feebler.
Now he is dead !
Preachers might search in vain for
a better text than that old man’s life.

A $50,000 Dinner Set.
The Astor tamily possesses a gold
dinner service that is the envy of every
woman who has ever seen it. It is
one of the most costly in this country.
It is valued at $50,000 and is now the
property of Mrs. Wiiliam Astor. It
has been in the lamilv’s possession a
long time; it would be hard to de
scribe, it as it was made in different
parts ot the world, and was picked up
on odd occasions. It is unique and
has been talked about more than any
other dinner set in this country. The
large dishes consist of an immense
plateau and center.piece, end pieces,
candelabrums, wine coolers and
pitchers. In the design is represented
fruit of all description, together with
the uascorn and lion in repouse work:.
Mrs. Astor uses a white linen table
cloth ot the finest texture, made es
pecially for her, with a wide lace bor
der showing a lining of pink satin.
Her table is always decorated with
Glorie de Paris roses, their exquisite
shade of pink rtlatching exactly the
satin underneath.
The poor dining off plain crockery,
probably cracked, no doubt enjoy
their food as much as docs Mrs. Astor
and her aristocratic friends. At least
the digestion of the former is better.
Women in the Church.
Philadelphia, Dec. 3.—The ques
tion, ‘‘Shall women be admitted into
the general conference as lay dele
gates?” lias been submitted to the
congregations of all Methodist church
es in the United States, and members
of each were allowed to vote upon it.
The voting was all done during Octo
ber and November, mainly in the
latter ino.iih. Tin. 1 results from the
churches througtiout the country are
not all in as yet, but the Philadelphia
Methodist will say to morrow that
enough of the returns have been re
ceived to show that the women have
carried the day, and so far as the pop
ular will goes they arc entitled to seats
in the general conference as lay del
egates.
There is a disposition in the legisla
ture to pass a general prohibition law,
or'something very near akin to it, in
Georgia. The people are satisfied with
the present admirable local option
law in force. Bet it stand.
