Diek Russell is one of the *r*ost useful members of the present General Assembly.” ocratic nomination for Mayor of Sew York City does not full upon Mr. Edward Cooper. The meeting o( Tammany Hall Monday evening places before the people the name of Hon.* Abram S.

No abler, purer man could have been solected for mis crisis in municipal affairs His name is a tower of strength. His nomination is a platform in itself. The party requires no pledges from such a man, for his^election to office would mean an administration of principle* and practi cality more than the election of any other citizen of New York. Mr. Hewitt lias represented one of the Xew Yark City districts in Congress for several years. He has proven himself a wise and practical statesman, lie has arisen from the people and has been pro moted by force of a brilliant intellect and a patient industry. It was his desire to retire from active politics with the pres ent session of Congress, hut the clamour in his district for his return was too strong. He now’ finds himself, upon no motion of his own, about to be called to the head of municipal a Hairs of one mil lion of people.

Tammany Hall has emphasized by this •tion their desire for purer men and ore holiest methods in polities. The mdidacy of Mr. George has forced the issue upon them and the city campaign in Xew York for one time will not l»o n no tight for spoils. The issue is worth thinking about. The example set by Xew York is an example for all the cities in tiie Union.

The Madisonian says: Some weeks ago we insisted that the next Legislature should elect new officers. Mark Hardin ami Win. Harris have made as good ofli- 03rs as anyone could, and we like each of them personally. But we think that the Legislature should make a change. We say give some other good Democrats a little taste of official pie. It is said that the following will be an nounced in Atlanta as the people's reform ticket for council: Mayor, Harry .Jack- son: aldermen, K. P. Chamberlin, C. W. llunnicutt: couuciliuen first ward, V. P. Sisson; second ward, A. 1). Adair; third ward, J. W. Rankin: fourth ward, J. S. McLendon; fifth ward, J. M. Green; muh wi.nl, W. .1. CmnnhrtH The Banner-Watchman publishes a communication this morning calling for reform in the matter of city and county elections. The near approach of the municipal contest and the proximity of the comity election in January make it necessary that this matter be taken in hand at once. We may he enabled by the right kind of effort to have a quiet tnd orderly election without buying of votes or the use of liquor. Or we may be forced by the neglect of this reform to have a wholesale avstem of bribery and debauchery. This spectacle is not an assuring one for the citizens of Ath- ns or Clarke county. It is not one which any candidate or any voter would wish to see, hut it is one which all may he pretty certain they will see unless the abuse is corrected. The reform cannot he made by one person ot by one paper. It is a manor for the whole people to take in hand, and whether by primary electior or mass the voice of the people would Tiik re-nomination of Congressman McAdoo, in New Jersey, has raised a stir among the Democratic revenue re formers. McAdoo is one of Randall’s, protective followers who is tariff first and Democrat afterwards. Tire Jersy City Argus declares that a stuffed system of primaries has carried McAdoo back into nomination. Mr. Barry, of the arbitration commit tee appointed by the Knights of Labor to adjust the labor matters in the Chicago stock yards, said that he had hopes of making a settlement today. The quiet that has attended the great strike has made thousands of friends for the Knights to whose efforts the admirable order is due. W k regret to note the disposition to strike Gen. Gordon from the State ticket as evidenced by the fact of his running several thousand votes behind the State officers. This was not confined to the Bacon counties, indeed the friends of Maj. Bacon were probably most regret ful, as is this paper, that any such thing should have been done. Gen. Gordon received the nomination and deserved the party vote. The protest of the Southern cotton mills against the discrimination by Wes tern railroads against Southern goods has baen evaded by the trunk lines.

This shows Law easily protection leach U> plunder. in a quiet way m keen observer, and has inquired closely into the bid which Ath ens has made for the completion of the University education by the addition of this training school. The conference was purely an infor- m »1 one, but the points brought our were full and significant. It was developed in the first place that the Board of Trus tees and University Faculty were anx ious to have the Technological School in Athens. All reports to the contrary have been set at rest The bid made by tie city, and the liberal offers which have followed from the University must have convinced every one that the University management is entirely friendly to the Technological School, and is in accord with its full design. If any commis sioner had an idea that itc location in Athens would plant it upon unfriendly soil, that idea has been' blasted. It transpires too that the University has offered to place four of her faculty at the absolute disposal of the Techno logical School, giving of course Franklin College students full access to the lecture halls a'ong with the apprentice class. These departments will be departments of the Technological School and the pro fessors will be under the control of these trustees. The spirit of this offer shows that the University has no thought of absorbing the training school. The college propos ed to turn over to that institution the de partments which are necessary to coin plete the curriculum of that school or to endow the school at the rate of $12,000 a year, and the only condition they make is tbit Franklin College students may share the benefits of these scientific courses. TJie University trustees will not have any more control over the Tech nological Schtol in Athens than they will exert if k were in Atlanta, and they will have just as much power over it in Atlanta as they would have .in Athens. The property which Atlanta gives must be* made over to the trustees of the Uni versity of Georgia and the lot in Peter*! Park would be just as much the property of tho University trustees then as the college campus is now. No more and no less. All present offers and any future appropriations must be made to the Uni versity trustees, and the training school should be where the University is. The fact being fixed, that the School of T* chnology will not be injured by the classical department, it is equally true that the classical depariment will not be injured by the training school. The experience of Dr. Broune. of Auburn, Dr. Hopkins, of Emory, and of Gen. Wal ker, of Worcester, shows that where the University is in full sympathy with the the School of Technology, the junction of the two will not be hurtful, but will be helpful. of Cameron has adoptod Blaine since night. The moral effect of a public ineetin; Deupree Hall to start this motion, or of a primary election to put the candidates for city and for county officers directly before the people, would bo most potent and most wholesome. Whatever be the letails or the preliminaries, the spirit of this movement is an excellent one and must be shared by all good citizens and lovers of good government. The politi cal atmosphere must be cleared if by a stroke of lightning. they were ferced to relinquish Grant The iron mongers and glass blowers, the steel makers, and coal miners blow an extra blast upon their furnaces when Blaine passes by, and all the pimps of a protected industry look upon Bl^ne as the chief of this feudal faction of pam pered artisans. And he is. He never fails to preach protection on the stump. Even Sam Randall ceases to bark when the big dog Blaine comes into the ring. Blaine can have no softer thing than his ride through Pennsylvania in a palace car as he was billed to do yesterday, preaching the gospel of high tariff between the bum pers. Pennsylvania is the arena where this political school finds its advocates and grooms its champions. Protectionists point to Pennsylvania as the living proof of the nurturing policy of a hig tariff-— where industry raises its temples and where laboy secures its dignity and re alizes its worth. Unfortunately this pret ty glass house has been smashed. Pro tection has raised up a pampered class who pool their products and runup their prices, while labor is corralled and driven into pens and shamelessly degraded. The settlements of coal and iron workers in Pennsylvania show a worse system of slavery than ever existed at the South, or than prevails among “the pauper la bor” of Europe. Nothing excels it in the Black Forest of Germany. Men are housed upon leased land, fed from “pluck-me” stores, belonging to the fac tories, forced to vote Republican and “protective” ballots, turned from their homes under slightest pretexts and hordes of Huns and worse than pauper labor driver, in to take their places. Henry George’e articles in the North American Review have smashed this “protective” sham and disgusted every lalwTer in the Upicn. The policy which is invoked to bless the American workingman, bloats the mill owner and blights the bread winner, Pennsylvania is most favored of all the .States by protection. In Penn sylvania the emptiness of the policy is shown up in real life, from Erie to the Delaware. Mr. Blaine’s triumphal tour to Pitts- burn yesterday must read like another feast of Belshazzar. It is protection— in a palace car. ATHENS WEEKLY MARKET- HANCOCK COURT. A -new conductor pulls the Bell cord on the X. E. R.

Rev. H. P. Myers, agent for the Ameri can Bible Association, has an appoint ment to preach at the Methodist church here to-morrow morning and night. We bespeak for him a large congregation. Col.

Prof. Gregory gave- a second entertain ment here last night to a large and appre ciative house. The Professor certainly is a wonderful performer in legerdemain and ventriloquism, and we hope ile may visit us again in the near future. The last issue of the Signal appeared to-day. It has suspended publication. Mr. W. B. Wagnon informs us that it had hardly been paying expenses “or sonic time, hence the suspension. We arc very sorry to know that the Signal has suspended, as we need a pai>er and ought, by all means, to have one. We have a splendid territory here for a bright, spicy newspaper, and we hope to see such a paper established here again soon. We are also very sorry to part with Mr. Wag non, tiie genial and whole-souled editor of the Signal. We wish him the most abundant success in his future occupa tions. Justice's Court was held sit Maysville last Thursday, ’Squires Newton and Vaughn presiding. The case of Isaac Cowan, colored, vs. Win. R. Rylee, ap peal to a jury, was the only case on dock et. This case was called at 10 o’clock and occupied the entire day and a part of the night, After patiently listening to the evidence and argument of counsel, the jury retired to their room for a few min utes, and then rendered with a verdict for defendant. Cols. J. M. Merritt, anil l*. M. Fdwards appeared for the plaintiff, and Cols. li. L. J. Smith and J. W. Hill represented the defendants. Athens has been very busy this week. Cotton has come in very fast, and tho the streets have been blocked with wagons The amount of business At! eng is now doing is very heavy. Every line of trade is pushed to satisfy the demand. It is a brisk, healthy, safe trade—cash plenti ful, collections prime, with a liberal sup ply of food and clothing going out through the country. Meats during the week have been fluc tuating in a narrow range. Yesterday’s close showed improvement of 15 points for clear rib sides over Monday’s opening. Wheat opened at the low water mark on the Chicago board—69^ cents, It fluc tuated until the close at 72%. Corn has been slightly fluctuating. Flour is quiet but the millers are expecting an advance and are not sellirg freely at present prices. Prices of No. 2 and No. 4 grades of wheat are close this year, and low grades of floor are proportionately higher. . COTTON. In the early part of the week cotton was flat and irregular, but in the last two or ti-ree days it stiffened up, and prices were high with a strong demand. The stocks in New York are very small. Eastern spinners are afraid of new cot ton, which they say does not hold up its weight, and have not gone fully into the market They have peen buying from hand to month and now they are preparing to go into the marked the tone becomes at once -stronger. Cotton in Athens has sold high. Out side buyers wonder how such prices are paid. An Athens buyer has bought cotton cheaper in Augusta than he could here. Cotton here classifies better than in the lower markets, and the dry wealher has insured it in finer condition than ever. Farmers are rapidly picking as dry weath- Hon. Seaborn Keese and Dr. H. H.

It was Dr. Carlton’s first visit to the county, rnd he made an excellent impression. He was cordially greeted by Mr. Reese and oth ers. Dr Carlton has had admirers here all the time, even among those who did not know him, and his boldness, integrity and moral and intellectual worth are now better appreciated that he is known. On Wednesday Dr. Carlton made a stir ring address to tho people of Hancock county in the Court House. He had a fair crowd and most respectful attention. Dr. Calton spoke for an hour and tonched on most of the important matters before the people. He treated the tariff freely and fully. He believed in protection; but it should be protection to the eonsumer as well as to the artisan. It should be protection to the farmer, to the creat ag ricultural interests of the country which was the base of all industry and the largest faetor of our wealth. Napoleon had declared in his code that this interest should be paramount in the empire; that the industrial interest should rank next, and that trade was hut the application and adjustment of the surplus be tween these two great elements of wealth. Dr. Carlton did not hesitate to say that the present protective system in the American tariff schedule was robbery and plunder. The government should return to a collection of customs for revenue rather than for the benefit of the few artisans who buy raw material of the farmer at low prices and who sell hack to him the fabric at an enormous premi um. The manufacturer was protected. ’The original prolucer, who is the final consumer, was plundered. Dr. Carlton opposed the restriction of silver coinage, and favored the lifting of the ten per cent tax on State bank eircu Men’s B. Button, Men’s B. Congress, Men’s B.

It w’ould seem that Mr. Edward At kinson is refuted in his theory of tech nological schools by Gen. Francis A. Wal ker, who is superintendent of the very institute to which Mr. Atkinson made reference in his recent letter to Georgia. Gen. Walker, who is a man of broad in formation and rare practical ability, de clares that a technological school may be connected advantageously with a classical institution if the spirit of that institution is friendly and sympathetic. Otherwise the connection will be peril ous. Gen. Walker says in words., “if the existing institution is prosperous and well managed, and if the new branches of study an<l work are to be treated fair ly, generously and sympathetically, then the connection will he found of advan tage; the two departments will mutually help and support each other, while the general expense of management, the cost of libraries, and to a certain extent, of laboratories, ami of recitation, drawing and lecture rooms will be shared between the two, uiul this much be saved to each.” Jl trie converse of this is true, then Gen. Walker thinks much will he hazarded m altying there iiisiilutiMis. It vilbbc-ffPcYr that-Gt*n. Walker’s views are broader and more applicable to the University and the Georgia Technologi cal School than the narrow and tlatfooted xpressions of Mr. Atkinson. There is just the difference between a man of theory and a man of practical power. Two* incidents, of recent occurrence will serve to show the rapid advance in real estate that has lately taken place in Bini; ; ngham. The vacant corner lot of ground, GOxldO feet, immediately west of the Alabama State Bank building, was sold last year for $17,5000; it was sold in May last for $35,000, and a few weeks since was again sold lor $50,000or $1,000 per front foot. A gentleman from Co lumbus, Miss, purchased a vacant lot of ground last month, for which he paid $6,000; four weeks after wards he sold it for $10,500 cash, and it is probable that it could not now be bought for $15,000. t Tiik liitlc-bouk on strikes, to which this imper lias already altudcil, the work bj Joel i'rentiss Bishop, of New York, lays t'lc whole industrial troubles upon the enormous wealth piles and abnormal la bor troubles. The one pours unduo ill h into the laps of scheming specu lators; the other drains the working peo ple by diverting their savings to labor unions. If one class of labor obtains by forced means an increase in wages, the burden is simply cast on another class, who consume these products and whose cost of living is advanced. The writer of this pamphlet, who is an emi nent lawyer, believes that where laboring men*attempt to drive away non-union workers every power of the government should be put ferth for their protection. place as a country market have finally erected it into an inland business point toward which the products of North east Georgia gravitate as to a natural centra. Two important railroad lines are lending tiiis way, one riveting us to a great Northern system, the other binding us to a great Southern outlet. Our edu cational features have been so fostered and widened that we have all the vigor of a frontier town and all the finish of an older city. This is an advantage we have over lliryiinglism, over Atlanta, over Chattanooga and the oilier growing cities of the South. Our system of free schools just inaugurated must he carefully nurtured to got from them their full and immediate benefits., Athens is going through a nascent pe-. riod, and the policy by which she is to he governed must he a wise and a liber al one. We can afford to make no mis take. A contracted platform will stifle the city at the time of its best develop- i inent. A reckless heap of expenditure will embarrass it beyond reclaim. The commercial and financial policy of the city must bo carefully framed and skill fully carried out. We need a master hand at the head ot the city government; a man whose interest is hound up in the future of the place; w hose view is broad and whose grasp is firm and invigorat ing. We are just at the stage that a city can he made or unmade; that will secure for us in ten years a railroad cen tre of fifty thensand people, or that will surremit-r our opportunities to more am bitious and more active rivals. At such a time the city of Athens must have a mayor and aldermen who realize all the possibilities of the place and who will accept intelligently all the responsibilities-'f official station. Pri vate enterprise can he developed and led by olticial wisdom, or it can he discour aged and deadened. We want a mail in office whom w e can follow implicitly; not whom we may support grudgingly. We want a man of experience and viui.of hope and confidence—it nutters not what class or condition he comes from, and we want a city government clean, capable and liberal. Shall we have it'f It is impossible to read the synopsis of Han. H. 11. Carlton’s speech in Hancock without being struck with the truth and vigor of his views. He is absolutely sound in all his declarations of political economy anil political principle. He is a revenue reformer, without halting or half-way protective humhuggery. He believes that the best protection would ho that which benefits the planting class, not enriching the artisan at the expense of the agriculturalist He believes that tiie soundest currency is that which fa cilitates business, not which congests the finances of the country by confining it to W all Street He believes that the broadest and best system of banking is thaTwhich accepts as sectrrily' the land which igour basis element of wealth, and not that which requires cotton or bonds as security alone. Dr. Carlton is for tariff for revenue only, an nnrestriled silver coin and a healthy system of State hanks. This platform would sweep ev ery district in Georgia to-morrow. We believe it will he accepted with enthusi asm in the Eighth. Dr. Carlton has made a fahorahle impression everywhere be has appeared in this canvass. Tiie Emory College Technological School is prospering. It was organized in October, 1884. The school is otficeied by skilled mechanics, and thoroughly equippeil witii all the tools, machinery, etc., necessary for the manufacture of all such articles as are made in wood and iron shops, and during the past year has manufactured many such articles. Has not Dr. Hopkins controverted Edward Atkinson? Mr. Hewitt treats the candidacy of Mr. Ilenry George for Mayor of New York in a respectful way. He does not depreciate it as insignificant or attack it as insincere, hut seems to regard it as a natural development of popular thought nd aspirations, mistaken in its methods and misdirected in its progress, but wor thy of respect and earnest controversy. New York Republicans have nominat ed for Mayor of the city Theodore Roos evelt, the young reformer and mug wump. He is pure, but a high-flyer. He will never get to the city hall. The Irving Hall Democracy have declined to unite with tho county democrats and have endorsed Henry George. 1’itfcI’ahations are now being made for the grandest street pageant and hall at tho inauguration of Gen. Gordon ever witnessed in Georgia. Every military company and brass bsnd in the State will he invited, and snrvivors,not on ly from Georgia, but other States, are signifying their desire to be present. Capt. Mil ledge, of the Governor's Horse Guards, and Capt JVright, president of the Sur vivor's Association, will have the military features in charge. Tin; City of Alliens and tho county of Clarke are vitally interested in tiie suc cess of the new enterprise of the Penn sylvania Central.

A prohibition paper in Maine notes that in the State elections the "wet" icket prevailed everywhere in Georgia, he pe pie seem to have in vile up their mind that they can’t stand earth quakes without a little something to steady their nerves. Da. Caruton is right. Unless the Georgia farmer out borrow money from tha State banks on his Und, the foreign loan companies will foreclose mortgages ■n some of the best farm lands in the country.

Juo Tavern, Oct. 15.—[Special.]—For the past three years the people of North- east Georgia have made frequent eq- qiiirrios as to the whereabouts of Dr. Wi ley Bush, the chief engineer of the cele brated hum medicine. It seemed that the Doctor had quit the world, as he could not be seen at the different court grounds vending his medicine. We arc glad to state that the Doctor is sti I alive and making fortunes for his children, grandchildren "and great grandchildren, lie has been mostly engaged in building the city of Jug Tavern, which has sprung up by magic. The- town is as lovel us a floor for miles around, and the hard, sandy soil will do atvay with pavements. Only three years ago there was nothing here but a large dwelling house and one store. Now there are eight nice, large and roomy store-houses and a drug store. 8inith & Carithers have a splendid brick store filled with a stock of goods that would do credit to a larger place. All the firms doing business here are pros- lerous, and the hotel accommodations of Mrs. Bush are perfect. A large rock quarry li '8 about half mile west of the town, and men who are judges of gran ite say that it is the finest iu the South. Blocks of stone 20 feet in length are split out by rtieatis of iron wedges and as straight as if they had been sawed. Dr. Bush is sole proprietor of this immense quarry, and he expects to make a million out of it in the near future. The citi zens of Jug Tavern are anxious for the railroad, from Athens to Atlanta, and will subscribe liberally to the enterprise. Athens would no doubt get a Urge amount of trade from this section that now goes to Atlanta. Capt. Norman has a fine school here, and is said to be one of tho begt teachers in the Sonth. Ha has perfected a splendid system of short hand writing, and already some of his scholars can write short hand as good as some of tha stenographers who visit the courts to take down evidence. Too much cannot he said of the energy and push of the eitizens of Jug Tavern, who are determined to make a city out of it if they can get better railroad facilities. Dr. .Bush is contemplating building water works, a fifteen thousand dollar hotel and a three story brick dairy. We have no doubt he will carry out all of his undertakings if he has a good run on hU patient medicine this winter.
