As Associate u ness dispatch from
St Petersburg anno uses to the mourn*
log world of America that Iran Alexjo
wltscb Gontscharoir, the Russian au
thor, is dead. With such a name the
wonder is how he evei lived long enough
to be t he author of in i >ing. He prole
ably died with )•* . jaw.
Cbattaxooka gins out the sensa<
itionai rumor to ihe • iect that the great
Louisville A Xashvill, ro tilroad ia to bo
Consolidated with the Fist Tennessee.
If this rumor is correct, tint Louisville A
Nashville will hrcom' spuitof the great
Inman system. IVhar authority there Is
for the story is not known.
A newspaper man who evidently be
lieves in telling things just as they are,
says: “Do not swear. There is noocca'
si on to swear outside of a printing
office. It Is uaefol in oof-reading, and
Indispensable in s«' ling orms to preas,
and has been known to assist in looking
orer the paper alien it la printed, but
otherwise U is a very disgusting habit.'

But there never w ill be auch a law

ever will reach tho free paaa business.
Judge Crisp says It la the voice of
Jacob which comes from the northwest
calling upon tba Georgia farmers to
abandon tbn Democratic party, but it la
the band of Esau which la working it.
The illustration is a striking one, and
will appeal to the sober second thought
of tboee people la Georgia who have
been dallying with this new party folly.
—Athena Ledge:.
Tue scarcity of breadstuff# la all
parts of the world, except the United
States, seems to curry out the Idea of
Dr. Malthas that the day would soon
come when the earth could not support
its population. Su .pose the United
States were as thickly populated as
Asia; what would hecoms of Europe to
day with all the big < rap needed here to
feed the hungry millions?
Atlanta has a medical college for
ladles;and atnoug tho students tba Con
stitution notes Doctor Smith, “a piquant
brunette," Doctor Payne, “a typical
English lady,” Doctor Connell, “a lady
of fine appearance," and Doctor IViener,
“a vivacious little blonde.” Now all the
Atlanta boys will lie getting sick, acd
sending for these “piqpant” and “viva
cious" doctors of medicine.
THE COMING WAR IN EUROPE
The Turin Gexette, on the alleged
authority of a “high personage iu the
triple alliance," says that Europe is ou
tlie eve of a terrible war, which la to end
In the defeat of Russia and the utter de
struction and partition of France. The
recent great manoeuvres it regards aa
merely the rehearsal of the drama that ia
aoon to be played. The actors are In
position; each baa hit part, and nothing
more remains to be done except to raise
the curtain.
Austria will employ her entire force to
keep back Russia. The Italian and
Austrian fleets will unite for vigorou*
action In the Mediterranean, while the
English fleet will remain in observation
ready to help them in case the French
fleet should appear to be too etrong for
them. An Italian army will Invade
France through Daupbine at the mo
ment when the German army, after
passing through Belgium, will strike
France from two or three points on the
frontier. This Italo-Gerrosn shock will
be so terrible that France will be knock
ed down and out before Russia can ren
der her any assistance.
At the close of this brief and bloody
campaign France will be obliged to pay
the cost of the war, after which she will
be divided up into s number of small
states, each Independent of the other,
and none amounting to anything from a
military point of view. In other words,
the somewhat nervous cry of “fluls Ger
mania-," uttered by one of the German
journals tbs other day, is regarded by
• he Turin Gazette aa out of order; “flnla
Frsoclie" being the glorious hope of
Italy.
But if, by any one of the chances of
war, the beginning of the campaign
should turn out differently from the as
pirations of the Italians, then Italy alone
will heat France all to pieces, and Eu
rope will tremble, as It did before, at
the terrible auuouucemeur, “1'Italia
pars da seT’
At this distance It seems difficult to
see the precise advantages which Italy
can gaiu from this crusade against
France, beyond that renown which may
come from an astounding illustration of
what the French sneeringly allude to
when they speak of “Itallnu gratitude.”
—New York Sun.
Sam Joneh has denounced the Romans
for their alleged wickedness, such as
gambling, getting drunk, etc., until he
baa imposed upon Iheoredulltyof Judge
Maddox to the extent that that official
fcu charged the grand jury to look into
matters and see If the Romans are aa
bod as Sam says they are. The Judge
evidently don't know that Sam talks a
gnat deal more with hie mouth than he
can probably prove. The Romans are
no talma; but they are probably up to a
fair average; and don’t deserve being
skinned any more than any other com
munity.
Gov. Pattison haa issued a call for
an extra session of the Pennsylvania leg
islature, much to the surprise of the
Republicans, wbo, by the act, will be
forced into an Impeachment of their
state auditor and treasurer for com
plicity lo the Bardsley steal, or else
doom their ticket to certain defeat la
November. The Republicans regard
the action of Gov. Psttison aa a trap for
their party, and they are greatly alarm
ed, aa they do not exactly know what
the Democrats will spring on them when
the legislature assembles.
Secretary Blaine, aqd his Chilian
“bower" Pat Egan, seems to be In such
1^4 odor with the junta la Chili, that a
for seare Is Just now creeping up the
spiqal columns of your Uncle Sam.
Egan made the mistake of getting ou the
wrong aids In the late revolution; and
the only eolation ie bis recall. Blaine's
failure to do this la obliged to bring
about strained relations between Chili
and the United Stater, and n back down
on the part of the latter la In order, be
cause the Chilians will fight, having got
their band in; while Unde Sam always
takes water in such cases.
Oxe thousand longshoremen at the
ocean steamship wharves and at the
Baltimore wharves in Savannah have
gone out on the big strike which has
been threatened for several days. In
anticipation of trouble, lmmenso quan
tities of ammunition were sent by the
state to the Savannah military. This
appears lo have had a very tranquilizing
effect upon the strikers, judging from
the following card published by them In
the News: "We, the Labor Union and
Protective Association, give notice that
we don't want war with any one, but
we want an Increase of wages, and be
sure we will not work for the same
price. We want 20 cents for wharf
hands, 25 cents for ship's bands, !K
cents for headers. We want twelve com
mittees to wait on the agents that we
hare to communicate with, and no other
arrangement can he made eacept
through the committees. They can be
got at any time to wait on the gentle
men. We have been engaged In tinging
and praying all day, and expect to con
tlnue until we get good or bid new*. If
It be a month It la all the same to us. We
bare 4,000 men, and we bare the labor,
and you have got the money and the
guos and ammunition; eo we will take
God for our ammunition. That leall
the war we want. We want to keep
peace.”
Editor Boifeuillet, who la serving
what appears to be a life sentence In the
legislature, seems to be down on the
colonel business. lie baa got bla bill
through the house,- restricting the num
ber of lieutenant-colonels on ths gover
nor's staff to thirteen. Think of only
thirteen genuine, bonaflde, all wool colo
nels In Georgia'. Ia republican govern
ment a failure f Now I* the time tor the
governor to work lo another of those
vetoes; for why should not he createas
many colonels as he pleases f Such a
law is useless and ought to be vetoed ot
general principles.
TBE SAVANNAH TIMES.
The bright and breexy Savannah Times
Is no more; it has gont the way of all
evening papers In Georgia before It.
The Savannah Newaaaya:
The Times did not appear yesterday after
noon and :t Is understood that there Is iltt.e
prospect of ins company rssuinlns the pub
lication of the paper, for ths present, st
Isaac.
The editorial and rsoortorlal forces ten
dered their resignations lu tba mo-ntng and
then proceeded to (aralahee tba creditors of
the company for back salary. The printers,
pressman, and other employes of the com
pany followed tbslr example la the after
noon and obtained lab irtrs' liens to secure
their clalraa stalest the rompany.
Of the fifty employes of the paper none bad
been paid off, sod the *cz regale of their
claims la about 11,000. other creditors of Ibe
company havetak-n similar steps. In all,
about IV) garnishments ware served yesb-r
day on firms Indebted to the paper.
A successor to the Times Is expected reap
pear la a few days und-r the management of
Frank Weldon, the Times’ 1st* managing

Tue Chicago Herald remarks: "In
the case of R. M. King, the Tennessee
seventh day adventist, convicted of Sab
bath breaking, the United States su
preme court will have to decide what
day is Sunday.” That la about tbe only
way to fix the matter, as the frequent
revisions of the calendar from Julius
Cm-sar's time on down to the present
have jumped up days so much that there
la little certainty just what day is ac
tually Sunday. Then too, the sacred
day of tbe Jews was Saturday, there
being no divine authority for the ob
servance of tbe first day of the week.
Tbe supreme court will have to call ia a
general church council to help them
out, as this Is more of an ecclesiastical
than legal question.
Ths Ilaldwln-Flemlng war Is a tiling of
the past. Wouldn't Dr. Baldwin cooler a
favor on the people were he to go home and
stay there?—Trlhuua-qf-Koma.
Yet, but he Isn't going home, even
when the legislature adjourns (if It ever
does), until he has licked about 500
editors and other evil-minded persons
about in Georgia wbo have criticised
him. He has a contract now to dress
down Hoke Smith and Dr. Hawthorne.
Aa both of these men will fight a grizzly,
and weigh about a quarter of a ton
apiece, Dr. Baldwin has a big job on
hand, and may not get home before
next spring.
