P Tbk city council of Atlien. lias passed an ordinance to muzzle tlio dogs A jtmoK in prohibition Kansas has been accused of imbibing too freely of “applejack" before going upon the bench, but no one could be found who would swear that be was not “as sober as a judge." The Queen of England will complete her seventy-second year this month. She is reported to be hale and hearty with the exception of that rheumatism In her knee, which necessitates the use of a stick, and the prospect of adding a few more years to her reign is good. Anna Dickinson threatens to go to Russia, liy all means rush her along. The Czar may havo a soft place for her outside of an asylum, and it appears that that is the only place suited for hor in this country, or, to express it more plainly, the only place that sue suits. The Warrenton Clipper, in rhetorical mood, thinks if our legislature at its next session wishes to immortalize Itself, and let its praises go sounding down through the “long drawn aisles and fretted vaults" of all futurity, it will certainly pass some effective dog law. Tub opinion In official circles in Washington over the grand jury's report in New Orleans is that the attempt to qffaet the lynching by clmrges of jury bribing Is unwise, but that the cfTucts on the foreign population will be good, and that Italy has no cause for c plaint. Tux grand jury of New Orleans is now after Ur. Conti, the Italian consul at that place, who has expressed him self rather too freely, ami in language that was not very complimentary to the jury. Mr. C'ontl Is fishing for an invita tion to make himself scarce about New Orleans. Ds Tiie Woman's press club, of Georgia, held Its annual meeting In Atlanta this week. We are for the women, God btoas ’em, and hope they will oomo over In a body to the Georgia press association. We are for the freedom of the press, and want tho women along by all means. We shall press the subject later.—Way- cross Reporter. Althohou the worst of the] grip In New York appears to be over, it was a pretty serious epidemlo while It lasted, 577 deaths being attributed to the dis ease and Its combinations between March 25 and May 1. Of this number ' the significant estimate is made that eighty percent ocourred in the tene- mcnt.iiouse district of the city. While tho population of France Is at a stand still almost, that of Germany is rapidly on the increase, and the result of the recent census shows a moat grat ifying evidence of growth and inorease. It Is alio, said that the births In the recently annexed province of Alsace- Lorraine are largely German, rather than French, the nation of which it was formerly a part, Buuuxqh ae, Ala., is boasting that a steel plant will soon be In operation In that olty. The wealthy Byton Land Company has taken hold of the matter and this assnree the suocess of the en terprise. This company never does things by halves, and the south rejoioes with Birmingham that the prospect for the plant, which will be the only ooe In the southern states, is almost a cer tainty. The robber gang was not exteminated when Rube Burrows bit the dust, and the next work of the express com- pany will be to capture the Dalton gang now operating in Texas. Satur day night a train on the Santa Fo road was robbed of valuable express, though the shrewdness of tho mossengor in hid ing his money packages in the stove pipe prei ented them from capturing a larger booty. Bmpekoii William, of Gormany, is evidently an Immense Ego. He is enor mously “Big I." lie believes evidently that he was not made for the people, but the peopld were made for him. Bis ideas are all personal. Be said the other day in n speech: “As to the home policy, whlob is becoming established, I shall not deviate a hair’s breadth from the course 1 have Adopted. I alone am master In this country, and nobody else." x Andbew J. Cobb, Esq, of Atdess, is receiving the plaudits of the press of Georgia for discovering that the consti tution of the state doss not prohibit an appropriation for the World’a Fair from funda outside of the regular taxes. Geor gia should be represented, and If the way pointed ont by Mr. Cobb is wise, it would be well to make the appropria tion, but if it la not, the citizens of this grand old state can bp depended upon to raise the requisite funds to havo its resources on exhibition in proper shape. DB BRIOO'S CONDEMNED. The committee appointed by the Presbytery of New York at its recent meeting to Investigate the inaugural address delivered by Bro. Charles A. Briggs on his taking the chair of Theol ogy in the Union Theological Seminary, lias made its report In the majority roport he is practically charged with heresy on three points: First, in that he would elevate human reason to un due prominence, and make it one of the authorities for the acceptance or rejec- tion of tho several parts of the Bible ; second, in his declaration that there may possibly be errors of historio statement in tho Scriptures, and, third, in his ex pressed belief that the human soul may perhaps hare some opportunity after death to accept the conditions of salva tion. These assertions of the committee are fortified by ample extracts from tho addross whl;b they were appointed to examino and criticise. It is therefore recommended that Dr. Briggs be tried on these indictments. A minority report will also he pre sented, signed by two of the committee. They affirm that if the language of Dr. Briggs Is liberally interpreted it will not be found to conllict witli any essential proposition in the confession of faith. They futhermuro regard it aa unwise to bring him to trial, for the reason that a discussion would bo started which might last indefinitely and end in doing serious injury to the cause of religion. Wbother the assembly can stem the tide of what is called progress, can alford to banish such men as Dr. Briggs, is a very interesting question. It may be necessary to have a confession of faith as tho foundation for nn ecclesi astical policy, but it ought not to bo hurtful to allow clergymen a large lati tude of interpretation. To bind each pulpit to a literal acceptance of the creed is to stillu investigation and Im pair its efficlohcy. Besides, it may be discovcred|in the pinch of controversy that a very largo number of ministers and laymen agree with the general posi tion of Dr. Briggs, and in that case the situation would not be freo from danger. Heresy trials are never edifying, and they seldom result as happily as could he wished. AFTER THE ITATA. It is reported from Washington that Attorney General Miller bolds that the United States has the right to take tho Itata wherever found, and accordingly every effort is to be made to capture her. Considering the long start given to the runaway It remains to be seen whether the ohase will amount to any thing or not. In view of the doubt that has prevail ed aa to the law on the subject, the fol lowing passage from Ball, an English authority on international law, has a timely interest: When a vessel or someone oa hoar ! ter while within orelf n territory, commits an Infraction or Its laws shs may be pursued In to the open seas and there arrested. It mutt be added that this can oily be done wh n the pursuit It commenced while the vc.ael Is still within the torrllorlal waters or has only Juat etcap-d from them. Tin rest n for the permission seem* to he lost punult undrr these elrcuinstancos la a ontlnuatlnn ofan act ofjurl.dlcilou whlob baa been began or which, hnt for the nccl- dentof immediate escape, would have been begun within the territory Itaeir, and that It la neeeeaary to permit It m order toenable the territorial Juried etlon to be exercised That covers the case of the Itata ex actly. Da. John A. Wyeth, who served in the Confederate army during the late wsr, wrote for the Century Msgaslne a short time ago an article descriptive of the life of the Confederate prisoners at Camp Morton. HU plain recital of their ■offering and hunger, and the brutal treatment to which they were subjected, raised an awful howl among the loud mouthed fanatics of the north, and ever alnoe the publication of bis article he has been made the object of malicious attacks. In order to eover with con fusion the scctlonallsts who have so frantically denied the truth of hi* arti cle Dr. Wyeth has addressed a letter to his former comrades in prison asking them to forward to him a written state ment of their experiences while at Camp Morton. Dr. Wyeth's address is 204 Madison avenue, New York City, and he will bo pleased to receive a statement of facts from tho old Confederates who also survived tin) hardships of the prison pen. Indiana is in the lead. It has return ed to the “good old days" and in settling a tio in elections resorts to a foot race. Well, that may bo os good and conclu sivo as drawing lots or cutting a book or playing push pin or doodle or climbing a greased pole or any of the well known modes of settling contests from the “way back” of the Greeks and Romans. It is also eheaper than to have a new election, and if it i* satisfactory to the contestants the people should be satis fied. This plan is recommended to the Florida legislature. By all means let the contest there be settled by a foot .wee. “FREE TRADE ON THE HALF SHELL," Brilliant Kate Field In her “ Washing ton,” quoting Abraham Lincoln's cele brated aphorism: “Yon can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, hut you can’t fool all the people all the time,” takes occasion to wrap Major McKinley and the republican party right smartly over the knuckles for stealing democratic thunder under the guise of reciprocity. A wonderfully shrewd thinker, she says, was the man who signed the emancipation proclamation, and be never spoke more wisely than when he paid this tribute to humanity—a tribute quoted by handsome Cornelius N. Bliss, as chairman of the Tariff League ban quet io New York, to which 537 men did full justice, among them being Vice- President Morton, Secretary Noble. Major McKinley, Senators Dolpb, His- cock, Aldrich and Carey, William E. Curtis and Murat Halstead, all of whom made clever speeches to the sweet music of sympathetic cheers. “As the Washington advocates re duced taxation, I am. not in love with the McKinley act, but, believing with Abraham Lincoln and Chairman Bliss that 'you can’t fool all the people all the time,’ I’m sure that Major McKinley was right In saying that ‘we do not want any monkeying with the tariff,' and we are not going to have it. “The brilliant son # of Ohio predicted that the tariff law would not be changed In ten years, “unless It be changed by the republican party on protection lines.” There’s as much wisdom in an unless as in an If, and this “hedging” on the part of Major McKinley is all the assurance some of us want. “I have already called Mr. Blaine's in spiration—reciprocity—“free trade on the half-shell;’’ and as reciprocity was hailed with enthusiasm at this tariff ban quet, and as General Foster has just re turned from Spain with the last and best reciprocity treaty in bis pocket, what practical difference does It make to people who can't be fooled “any time," how much hairsplitting goes on, provided reduced taxation is generally and safely accomplished? What's in a name? Everything and nothing Everything to politicians and fools. Nothing to statesmen and the wise." LEADERS, 313 Lamar st. 313 Lamar st.

WELL ASSORTED STOCK OF TABLE LINEN, TOWELS, NAPKIS, ETC WHAT HAS THE COMPANY OAiNeDT The decision rendered by the Louis iana supreme court the other day has been widely heralded as a victory of the lottery company. It was In favor of the company, but of what practical value will it be? , The legislature bad voted to submit to popular vote a constitutional amend ment re-chartering the lottory. The act was vetoed by the governor, and hence the amendment did not go to tho people. It Is now held by the supreme court that a proposed constitutional amendment does not require tho action of the gov ernor; that he has no authority either to sign or veto it. Accordingly the secre tary of the state Is ordered to submit the amendment to the people. That it will be ratified may be taken for granted Its adoption will legalize the lottery la Louisiana. But this legal validity of the buslaess within the state can not Interfere with the operation of the federal statute prohibiting the use of the malls for lottery purposes. That statute has practically suppressed the traffic, and the adoption of the pending constitutional amendment can not re vive It De Witt's Little Early Bisen never gripe or cense nausea.
