For the week onded last .Saturday the
deaths in the city uf Chicago reached a
total of 007—an increase of more tiian 3
per cent, over tbo preceding week, and
with an increase of nearly 10 per cent,
in the mortality from the zymotic or
filth diseases. Based on a population of
1,‘200,000 this is an annual death rate of
28.00 per thousand. Chicago would do
well to thoroughly cleanse herself in
time for the Columbian exposition, for
she seema to need It badly.
"Mark the prediction!” says the
Aberdeen (Miss.) Weekly. "Tho Mis
sissippi alliance will, when the time
comes, bold its sub-treasury proclivities
Subservient to its love for the democratic
party. Its members know, as we all
know, that the onjy salvation possible to
the south lies by and through this great
and long-lived party, and to desert it or
■trike it would bo to commit political
suicide.” That is a statement of facts
that will be endorsed by an overwhelm,
ing majority of the farmers of Missis-
R *ippi-
The New York Herald commenting on
tie fact the south has trebled her wealth
within the past ten years, takes occasion
to say:
Tbs south has rolled up Its sleevae and pro-
pows to be rleb again—richer than ever. It
. bw all the nstural resources whleb attract
capital and enterprise. Young men from
the nortb on the lookout for a career are
making Inveetmenta then, helping to de
velop tbe country, and they always receive a
warm welcnaie. The tides of population,
kept apart»l< ng, are mlnsllng their waters,
ana unless the politicians ral'O a row th.ro
won’t beany north or any south twenty-
year, from now, and In their stead wa shall
have a united, contented and prosperous
country,
■John Young Brown, the democratic
nominee for governor of Kentucky, owes
this political honor to a spirited, pretty
and ambitious young daughter. Tbe
young lady is about eighteen yeara old,
and very proud of her father. Mr, Brown
has avoided politics for yeara, although
■exceedingly popular in Kentucky, By
■her winning persistence tbe daughter
•finally gained ber father’s laughing con
sent to become a candidate for governor,
■and before ho could retract, she hurried
■to the Courier-Journal office and enlisted
■the aid of Mr. Watteraon, who thiough
his paper told Kentucky democrats that
■Mr. Brown would accept the nomination.
The remit was the enthusiastic nomina
tion of Mr. Brown, and there la no
prouder or happier girl in the land than
his pretty daughter. A talented, ambi
tious woman has often accomplished
political achievements that tho more
brainy sterner sex could not devise ways
and means to master. Man triumphs.
Woman, who sheds the perfume of
her heart, tho strength of her mind and
the toils of soul and body to win glo
rious laurels for him, desires only the
loving approval of bis gracious amiles.
The world goes on, and tier silence is
golden.
“Good rye, old party, good bye,"
says the delegates to the Cincinnati con
vention. But the fine voice of brother
Livingston, of Georgia, produced a dis
cordant note in what otherwise might
have been a harmonious melody. The
eagle allianceman tang aloud: “In tbe
Sweet Bye and Bye we will meet you,
but as democrats we must come." Col.
Lividgston still pins bis faith to the
grand old party. Be tbinka the demo
cratic party may be relied on to grant
his faction—“tbe alliance”—all tbe de
mands they will hare need to ask. It
behooves the south to protect her agri
cultural Interests and favor wise legisla
tion, bnt she bad better go slow on new
departures. They knocked us winding
once, and all the south is now interested
in is a reduction of the. tariff, the stop
page of the enormous drain on the treas
ury to pay fraudulent pensions, and a
larger circulating currency. This re
lief the demoeretie party promisee, if
victorious. CoL Livingston says wait,
and give her a •chance to redeem the
pledge. Let the alliance trust the true
and tried old party. Go in and help
* her whip the-fight, and the days of
strikes, bard times and depression will
be things only remembered by the re
publican bosses who figured on the
wrong side.
TBE GEORGIA BAR ASSOCIATION.
On yesterday adjourned in Columbus
one of tbe most liberal, and at tbe same
time, conservative bodies that ever as
sembled in Georgia The annual meet
ing of the Georgia bar association had
been in session for two days.
With due respect for all other profes
sions, we doubt if the legal profession
will yield to any in intelligence, conser
vatism, or any other of the elements
that go to make up valuable citizenship,
For centuries their profession has
been the object of abuse from the igno
rant and of ridicule from tbe wits. The
profession has borne it all witli philoso
phic indifference, and gone on making
the world wiser and better. Broad
minded and patriotic, tbe lovers and
promulgators of the truth and honest,
wise government, they have ever been
tbo leaders In all civilized governments.
Chief Justice IUtndall is supposed to
have received an exceptloual compli
ment after death when “rare Ben
Jonson” wrote this as his epitaph:
“God works wonders now and then;
Here lies a lawyer—an li nest man."
Never did the rare old poetic genius
utter a more bitter, uncalled for, sian
deroits insinuation.
Tlie members of the bar association
which has just adjournod arc as neces
sary tojthe perpetuation of order, peace,
happiness and prosperity as the tillers of
the soil, the wieldersof tho hammer, tbe
managers of the spindle and loom, the
expounders of tho scriptures or the al
leviators of physical suffering, lie who
maligns this noble profession is either
ignorant, or vicious.
Tlieso gentlemen have the best inter
est of their country at heart. No peo
ple can maintain their liberty or their
prosperity without their presence and
their watchful care. The association
did much good. Any reader and any
thoughtful mind must see upon consid
ering its proceedings that lore of truth,
justice and right, good wilt to men and
to the nation, were not only exhibited,
but unselfishly exhibited. Long may
tho state have such intelligent, noble,
vigilant sentinels upon its watch tower
as tbe membets of the Georgia Bar as
soclation. The Times-Recohder trusts
that not m.ny yeara will have elapsed
before this body will soe fit to meet in
our own fair city. It will he better,
wiser and more prosperous for having
entertained so broad minded a sot of
gentlemen
LIVINGSTON’S GOOD WORK.
The constituents of Hon. L. F. Living,
■ton, his friends, and even his opponents
must admit that he has done good work
at Cincinnati.
Colonel Livingston, although known
to be opposed to a third party, was
heard with attention In the caucus of
the delegates to tho Cincinnati conven
tion. He did not mince matters, but
put his bearers on notice that, If they
organized a third party, seventeen south
ern and western states would take no
part in it In plain words that could bo
understood the Georgian said that the
southern alliance owed a great deal to
the demooratio party, and could not
break away from it. He would make no
promise for the future. He said that
the democratic house should be given a
chance next winter to do something for
the relief of the people. If it should be
guilty of tbe preposterous folly of Igno
ring the demands of the people for re
form, then it would be time to talk
about a third party.
Colonel Livingston's thorough knowl
edge of the situation, hia firmness and
bis convincing way of putting the case
staggered the wild third party men, and
colled them down considerably.
It is plain, even to the casual observer
of the political events, that the demo
cratic party Is steadily pushing forward
on tbe lineof reform demanded by the
alliance. United, the two organizations
mutt Inevitably win in the campaign of
next year; divided, there is no telling
what disastrous results may follow.
There Is good reason for congratula
tion all round over the Georgia alliance-
man's course a" Cincinnati.—Atlanta

TBE SOUTH'S LUMBER INTEREST AT
THE WORLDS FAIR.
The proposed scheme of the lumber
men of the south to pool their cash and
build a wooden palace In which all the
valuable and beautiful wood speci
mens of the south could be displayed at
the World's fair la a move in the right
direction.
The timber lands of the south are very
much sought after by investors north
and east, and much larger prices might
be obtained by sellers if this valuable in
dustry was properly advertised. As yet
no definite plans has been adopted.
One man has suggested that speci
mens of each valuable tree of the south
bo transplanted to tbo Worlds fair
grounds, holding that such a grove, for
a grove it would really be, would bo an
educator of the highest value.
One plan suggested, that meets with a
favorable reception, is for the erection
of a cottage, to be constructed entirely
of southern standard woods. The build
ing is to bo three stories high, commodi
ous in extent, and fitted up with south
ern mado furniture, using southern
woods in the construction, the cottage to
have elegant grounds and conservatory
attachment, in which orange, lemon,
bananas, palmetto and other peculiarly
southern trees should grow, the whole
to be lavishly decorated and brightened
by southern flowers.
This move is one in which the Georgia
lumbermen and land owners are very
much interested. Much of the wealth
of tbe state consists in tbe magnificent
pine forests, but this Industry baa suf
fered for the want of capital to develop,
A gold mine Is worthless to tbe owner
who has not the wherewith to work it.
Railroads must be built through these
timber belts, and appliances furnished
to handle the enormous output of our
mills. Georgia would reap a vast
revenue if her timber interests could be
judiciously advertised at the Worlds
fair. In union thero is strength. Let
the lumbermen carry out their sensible
and artistic plans, and millions will flow
into their treasury.
A LONG EXPECTED KICK.
The long looked for kick has come at
last. The Central railroad refuses to
pay its share of the tax heretofore levied
on the roads for tho expenses of the
railroad commission. The best lawyers
have already claimed that the law was
unconstitutional and would not stand
the test of tbe courts. We have always
thought the railroads were wise in pay
ing it, however. There is always danger
of legislating against the roads. Tne
people could very easily be aroused to
enacting laws that would not only not
do them much good, but inflict great
hardship on the corporations. Our
commission is an amiable and harmless
body, and instead of kicking against a
little $12,000 per annum, the railroads
would be wise to keep on paying it and
direct their efforts to maintaining It as
it Is. We say it teems to us tho roads
would look at it in that way and wo are
very much astonished that the Issue it
thus made.—Birmlugham Age-Herald.

This young man stayed out too late,

cold, which developed Into catarrh, but
he cured it with Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedy, a sovereign tpeciflo for chronlo

breath, stops tbo offensive discharges,
heals tbe irritated throat and nose, leav

the proprietors offer in good faith $500
for a caso they cannot euro.

Knights Templar. Columbus is receiv

association. Americas has representa
