And now the Atlanta Journal is kick
ing about the electric cars. What will
happen next!
Hon. Stkuuen Thomas, one of the
oldest and moat prominent citizen, of
Athens ia dead.
Florida claims that she will have the
moat novel and attractive state building
at the World’s Fair.
WuATprofiteth it a man if he get free
sugar and payetb an increase for his
winter undergarments?
Toe Central railroad is daily now car
rying crowds of visitors bound to Uacon
and Atlanta for the expositions In pro
gress, and the only difficulty ia the lack
of cars.
Ip you want to know what real fun is,
get enormously rich, make your will
and three months after death come back
and ace how many kinds of an old fool
your heirs will prove you to bo in any
court in the country.
Blaine’s return to Washington will
make Somebody—with a big bat—sick,
for ho was not wanted at this stage of
the game. However, even if ho is a Ke-
publican, Blaine’s got sense enough to
know what he’s about.
The session of the grand lodge of Free
and Accepted Masons in Macon is in pro
gress, and this noble order will add much
to every institution in Macon, for there
is nothing on earth that adds more to ita
enlightenment than the perfect procepts
,0/ this ancient order.
The protected manufacturers might
have been good enough to raise wages
In at least one or two instances, just for
the time of the McKinley campaign; but
these greedy capitalists haven’t once
thought of doing it. Perhaps they think
they do enough whon they furnish cam
paign money.
The failure of the electric lights last
night put a great many peoplo in a bad
light—speaking literally—for they bad
to work 1/ lamp light, it seems strange
that the connections or dynamos or
whatever they ore can’t be kept in con
dition to alwaya afford the blessing given
f>y a good light.
“No other country,” writes the Presi
dent, "surpasses us in the inventive
genius of its citizens, or In the business
sagacity of its capitalists." If wo are so
very smart, bow is it that we must be
forever dependent upon an exorbitant
tariff? How is it that our industries
roust always be Infants?
The stranding of John Lawrence Sul
livan, the Boaton (esthetic slugger, iu
Australia is a good thing for some
American athletes, for if lie gets back
he’ll be so “bad” that he’ll break some
body’s neck, so he says. Col. Sullivan
has seen his best days and nobody need
be afraid of him—that is, If they are far
enough away.
Accordino to late dispatches, the life
of an editor in Dublin, Ireland, is not a
happy one. Tho people, with a big P,
threaten*to blow up one poor fellow out
there who represents the McCarthies.
The odltor of the Billville Banner or the
Arizona Kicker wouldn't take sucli mat
ters to heart. They'd simply look up
fresh cartridges and await events.
The stand taken by the Northern So
ciety, of Atlanta, in regard to the blub-
beringa of Elliott Sheppard, the brain
less editor of the New York Mall and
Express, ia worthy of the men who,
coming from the cold north have made
their homes in Atlanta. Nothing leas
than such a direct refutation could be
expected of the men who compose that
society.
Tub attempts of certain cynics to prove
that women are not the equals of men
are ridiculous and laughable. For ex
ample, there is a female brigand In Sor-
vla. She can spread terror among the
people in the most approved fashion,
and in the matter of robbery can outdo
the work and outdare the daring of any
professional gentleman' in the same In
dustry. Tbit lovely creature has al
ready been accused of fourteen murders,
which ought to give her high rank
among first-class rogues,—New York
Herald.
Tnis Atlanta Journal published that
Col. Emmett Wommack had, or would
certainly resign the position of solicitor-
general of the Flint circuit. Col. Wom
ack speaks very emphatically to the
contrary: “There Is not s word of truth
in the artiole published in the Journsl
that I Intend resigning the position of
solicitor-general of the Flint circuit,”
said Col. Womack last night to a Con
stitution reporter. “I cannot Imagine
bow the report originated." he contin
ued. "I absll not resign."—Atlanta
Constitution.
JUDGE CRISP IN OHIO.
Hon. Charles F. Crisp, Georgia's fa
mous Congressman, arrived in tlic city
at an early hour tills forenoon and was
driven direct to tho Neil House, where a
Post representative met him shortly af
ter his arrival. Mr. Crisp ia a remarka
bly fine looking gentleman, above the
medium height, with a pleasing address,
whose lound, full face, adorned by a
mustache, gives one but a faint concep
tion of tlie great reserve force and ora
torical power he possesses and which lias
made him one of the foremost statesmen
of tlie age.
Speaking'of Ilia reception in Ohio Mr.
Crisp said:
“f have marie eight speeches in your sis *
and have been greeted ■ verywhere by large
audience*, and have bad a very delightful
visit. I have found the people of Ohio hoe-
pitiblo and kind, both Hepuullcane end
Democrat*, and (hall ever kindly remember
tbefr treatment of me.
“Ae fai as my observation goes I find the
Ohio Democracy united and entbusl istlc and
feeling confident of v.ctory lor the entire
■latetlckei, while not unmindful of the ad
vantages to be gained an] the me sally lor
securing control of your elate legislature,
and I be levu the party will succeed in both
Instances.
I have noted with pleasure the Interest
taken by the Industrie! classes of Ohio In the
discussion of the tariff question, which * nly
needs to be understood by the people to se
cure a verdict against the measures enacted
by Ihe Republican party In the Interest of a
few millionaires, and of which M»Jo- McKin
ley Is now the acknowledged and only cham
pion of any consequence."
In reference to the speakership contest,
In which it Is generally believed that
Mr. Crisp’s chances are at least os good
as the best, the gentleman modestly de
clined to have anything to say except
that the contest now being waged in
Ohio is of paramount importance and
that Ilia whole time and attention is now
directed to contribute whatever lies in
his power to aid in a triumph for Ohio’s
grand and brilliant governor, whose suc
cess is prayed for by the Demociacy of
the whole country.—Tlie Columbus Ohio
Post.
The examination of the New York
Life Dearly completed—Its condition and
management vindicated to tho discom
fiture of ita slanderers—An interview
with the examiner, Hon. Michael Shan
non-Deputy insurance superintendent
of New York stato. Of an interview
with Hon. Michael Shannon in The Spec
tator of October 22d, that paper says:
“Mr. Shannon has so far completed his
examination regarding tho financial con
dition of the company that he states un
equivocally that it is entirely solvent,
and has a substantial surplus overall
liabilities, and this statement he desires
to go forth to the holders of policies in
the company, some of whom have been
led to doubt their value. That every
contract of assurance entered into by
the company can be faithfully carried
out; is already demonstrated by the ex
amination thus far made. As this is the
essential point at issue, it gives us great
satisfaction to make the announcement
in this official mannor so far in advance
of the publication of tlio complete re
port of tlie department. The solvency
of tlie company being thus officially pro
claimed, policy-holders und tho public
can bo content to let all chargos of a
personal nature await the final official
report of the Inquiry, always bearing In
mind that It is impossible to separate
the present high positlou and status of
tho company from the management that
has produced such magnificent results.”
THE PIOI1T IN OHIO.
The clana have met in Ohio and every
inch of ground Is being hotly contested
by both parties, eacli claiming victory
It ia now thought that the farmers are
the uncertain quantity, and the way they
go so will go the coming election.
Tlie big cities will be the fighting
grounds of the Republicans. Money will
bo used without stint, and the bosses
hope to control tlie vast floating vote of
Toledo, Columbus and Cincinnati, and
thus overcomo tlio large Democratic
gains in the ru-.al dist lets.
Judge Crisp has put in some powerful
strokes for Gov. Campbell and tho suc
cess of Democracy. And unless the tide
turns, Democracy will come around all
right in November.
Heaven's last best gift—my ever new
delight," is not my brown atone house,
nor my carriage and pair, nor my fine
new yacht, nor m" prettiest girl, nor my
hopes of a great seat in congress, not
these, but my wonderful cure for pain,

From tho report of the conference
which was held at the White Houie on
Friday last for the purpose of consider
ing tho outrageaat Valparaiso it appears
that the administration Is disposed to be
governed by what ought to bo regarded
as a golden rule of diplomacy, namely,
to allow others to do unto you os you do
unto them. In its refusal to mako nny
reparation for the massacre of tho Ital
ians at New Orleans tlie Harrison admin
istration adopted a policy which it can
not consistently depart from even in
dealing with England, Franco aDd Ger
many. And with no moro consistency
can it demand of them, or of tho feeblest
powers, that reparation or apologies be
made for mob violence against citizens
of tho United States, unless connived at
by the government of tho country in
which the outrage Is committed. Ameri
cans visiting foreign countries shuuld
bear in mind that the American llag
ceases to afford any practical protection
after tlioy leave American soil. If they
are not willing to rely on themselveaand
can compromise with their consciences,
their best policy Is to proclaim them
selves subjects of her Brittanic majesty.
—'Tlmca-Union.
Thank Goodness, the United States is
coming to the front. The government
has actually demanded satisfaction for
the killing of the sailora belonging to
the U. S. cruiser, “Baltimore,” at San
tiago de-Chile, through Minister Eagan,
ne is, however, acting on Instructions
from Washington, and if tho Chilian
government sees fit to pay no attention
to Minister Egan's demands, be will,
perforce, have to await nnotlier cable
gram. Ail the same the demand will be
made.
The spark from a passing engino Igni
ted the cotton in the railroad yard at
Forsyth, Ga., Monday, destroying 550
balea of the staple. The damage will
not fall short of $25,000, and the entire
loss will fall upon the Central railroad,
as the cotton had passed out of the hands
of the shippers. A worthy colored fire
man, George Condon, lost his life in the
fire.
